Bravo Vice for turning an anonymous Reddit post into a hit piece conservatives.

I say bravo because none of this story is confirmed except that it came from one of hundreds of survivors that attended the school.

Sounds like fan fiction to me. I'm sure there are elements of the truth in the story, but the rest reeks of deception. The anonymous source claims he won't even talk to his friends or classmates about it because they might be upset. Lol. Or maybe it's because the story falls apart with any amount of scrutiny.
Is the implication here that Apple doesn't value memory-safety? Why would you say that?

Apple have created and embraced an entire language (Swift) around the idea that things like memory safety are important, but you cannot just rewrite an entire operating system overnight into a new language.
This phrase from Morphy and your story about your grandfather reminds me of this "Maybe I can win a pawn" scene: https://youtu.be/pOzaIcZwpwQ?t=60

This is what the mentor in the movie means: some become good, some foolishly pursue nothing. The game can be addictive. But to be great is the rarest thing.
> Cross-platform and being a good tool are orthogonal concepts.

I agree, but when I need to develop some software for Windows and Linux, a great toolkit for Android or iOS is of no use to me. Similarly, I won't use a Linux-only or Windows-only toolkit, as awesome as it may be, because I'm not going to build two different GUI layers.
Fast Charging of current fast charger is already plenty fast. And next generation that is already being deployed is even faster. Before Hydrogen vehicles could reach even 0.1% market share that advantage will be gone.

And it totally ignores the massive issues with hydrogen charging. Charger frozen to the car, constantly broken, incredibly difficult, huge issues handling high volume, require a lot of power and so on.

> Batteries cant hold enough power per pound/size

A comparable Tesla is lighter then a Mirai. Batteries still have massive amounts of improvements to make. Structural batteries is gone make it even lighter and battery density is improving every single year.

FCV on the other hand have far less ways to be lighter then they currently are.

EV will beat FCV on weight and efficiency by far and the lead is increasing.

> like driving across the country

That already works great with EV.

> or powering trains

Why not just use methanol? Almost the same as current tech for diesel trains and you can make it in almost the same way as hydrogen if you really want to make it carbon neutral.

> Furthermore, electricity cant be piped through our existing gas infrastructure.

Electric infrastructure that can do that already exists. Also, doing that is actually very, very costly and not worth doing. This infrastructure then ends up suffering from hydrogen embitterment and has massive leakage and is really expensive to maintain.

> Hydrogen complements solar and batteries but I think solar and battery will get into consumer hands first. Consumers don't require the high density energy storage that hydrogen/oil allows.

There are already many companies who are trying to make batteries that are more efficient and cheaper at storing energy then creating hydrogen. Using hydrogen as a battery is inefficient and expensive.

Grid batteries don't need to be energy dense. The only thing that matters is cost.

> Roughly speaking nobody has tried to redeem any - for obvious reasons. They know they can't.

Usually you at least come up with FUD that sounds reasonable to an outsider.

Obviously many people (some that I know personally) have "redeemed" USDT for a USD wire via Tether. Tether may be fraudulent but it wouldn't have held up until now without some aspect of credibility. There are many 8 figures+ redemptions going on, sometimes multiple times a day.
Pretty please be satire because that flew over my head the first time and I'm still not really sure if you are sarcastic or serious. What an exemplar of the cultish enthusiasm and logical inconsistencies I consistently get from crypto enthusiasts, which is exactly why I'm wary of the whole thing.
I hope the German ans EU labour laws atleast make the working conditions bearable. Working at TSMC is hellish. I worked as a tool vendor. It was crazy.
It's possible, but it really appears to me that these ads are not videos that are loaded separately, but are simply portions of the video stream that the app has tagged with timestamps indicating that they are ads. Perhaps pi-holing the ad server could prevent it from loading metadata about these ad timestamps, but I would guess that it's simply shipped as part of the request that loads all the necessary metadata about the video stream. This really feels more like a system to prevent skipping commercials that are already in the video stream, and less like an integration with a third-party ads SDK that loads its own ads and shows them over the real video.
You would have never heard of Michael Bloomberg's presidential run if he had not been wealthy. Or Donald Trump's, for that matter.
And this is a feature for many folks.

When you're buying for reliability, it's nice to hear "this engine design has been the same for 10 years and is bullet-proof" rather than "this new engine tech is an unknown" in the reviews.

I do feel Toyota has the resources and skill to make EV mainstream, but I understand their reluctance moving away from a solid tried and true manufacturing + business plan.
Stop trying to play cute. If smart contracts decentralize services that means that vendors collect money directly from the user with all the middle men reduced to a governable smart contract.

What does this mean ? Do you really need handholding to figure it out ?

It means that services will incur less fees for the client, and end up putting more money in the pocket of the vendor.

More money from the same transaction to the vendor == value by definition to the vendor.

Less fees from the same transaction for the client == value by definition to the user.

Saving money on services is perhaps the greatest value to society you can do. Who wouldn't want more money ? Is this not valuable to you ?
> so it's silly to complain about it now.

No it isn't, Go has other flaws stemming from the exact same root cause and it has nothing to do with programming...

A lot of the talk of China seems just to be racism, but as long as we're talking about carbon-based tariffs then they're good for everyone, including China to be subject to them. They can introduce carbon pricing internally and use the solar they make to decarbonize the solar production, win-win-win.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing those 2002/2003 articles. For completeness, it looks like a 2004 rebuttal claims that this is due to a healthier population: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1266198/ but frankly that does confirm that relatively healthy, employed populations would prefer Kaiser to the NHS.
He doesn't post here anymore (username pg) and multiple times on his Twitter feed has critiqued the current (?) users of HN beings angry at everything and all the time privileged Californians. Tons of stuff he tweets in general is not kosher here anyway.

You can easily find a lot that stuff, use twitters search. I doubt he cares who posts here or what's going on, he moved on.
Well thanks :-) (as I discover it now, there seems to be only a balance of -1, I guess it was more severe when you saw it). What's funny is that the day before, I got like 10 upvotes for saying how, when I occasionally, quickly browsed a few short patches for Linux kernel drivers, I found rather obvious mistakes which should have been caught by reviewers, if they did there work properly. Oh well... :-)

To sum up, I'd say I quickly looked at 2 of the most common sources of mistakes:

- off-by-one errors: here, in the sub-species which concern how the NUL terminator is counted (or not counted), whether it is by the code itself, or by calling standard functions which behave differently in that respect (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes not, but in all cases one should be careful and check their spec twice);

- error management: what happens, what could we get as a result when an input is not in a typical range, how can we deal with it; standard functions are not especially regular in that respect, one should check that aspect of their spec too, for it can be unintuitive (as in the case of strftime() here).

Then I explained how the consequences were not serious in that case. In a well commented code, I'd expect a small comment to explain why this check is not done, why one can emit that without much care, and so on.
Otherwise, one cannot know if it works by design or by chance; also if future modifications should happen with those pieces of code, problems could arise.

Emitting a NUL character to a (pseudo) terminal is not serious. In the worst case it could mess the display for 1 or 2 lines before it recovers, but generally it won't even have a visible effect, the terminal will simply ignore it.

However, if that gets written or redirected to a file (here, a log file for example), then the NUL character is quite present. Since a civilised text file oughtn't to contain a NUL character, a program which expects well-formed text files may not be ready to handle it properly. For example, reading such a file with the standard C function fgets() or similar will land you in a world of troubles. fgets() only stops when it encounters a newline character, so the NUL character will be included inside the string returned by fgets() (here, coming right after a newline, it would be at the start of the next line); but when you'll ask for the string length, it will be 0 (NUL being the first character), and printing the string will be the same as printing an empty string. Basically, you have lost the line content.

So it is better to be as correct as possible from the start. It is also often easier than thinking exhaustively of all possible implications.
I don't know exdupe, but from a quick glance at their homepage it looks like a full + differential style backup.

With borg, every backup is logically a full backup (it just is faster due to deduplication). Much easier and less time consuming to deal with.
The 2nd half of this link has some fairly extensive quotes from Madison, Jefferson and Washington on the idea of inherited wealth.

https://andrewtobias.com/jefferson-madison-and-washington-on...

I think you'll find that this was a very different take on it than the one held by those in power back in England at the time.
So, just something to think about, let's say I start a MLM(reverse funnel) scheme.

I will tell everyone "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win".

When I am taken to court for running a pyramid scheme and maybe doing a little fraud along the way, I can just shout we are at the "they fight you" stage. Hopefully, everyone keeps investing in my next scheme.

In reality, "they fight you" doesn't validate whatever you are doing in any way. If you get a positive court ruling, then maybe whatever you are doing is legit.

Many schemes go on for a long time. I used to have quite a bit of crypto. Btc helped pay for my education, but there are better investment vehicles out there.
I'm not sure how you could be so skeptical after reading case report 4. Sure low sample size blah blah blah, but case report 4 had isolated her issues to MCA so precisely, that it seems to validate the hypothesis.

- 43 years old, raw food diet, never/rarely consumed MCA.

- Started to drink water w/ vitamin c powder and had bad reactions for 2 years.

- Stopped drinking the vitamin c mixture she was drinking, and her symptoms went away

- Tried ANOTHER vitamin c mixture without MCA, and she has NO symptoms.

Paragraph 1 of the Conclusion:

> We recognize the limitations of the level of evidence from our four case reports. We cannot conclusively affirm that MCA is the causative factor in the subjects’ inflammatory symptoms. However, our findings demonstrate a significant likelihood that MCA may be the culprit and are suggestive of valid concerns which warrant proper double blind studies to determine presence or absence of harm.
taking note of multiple comments mentioning Pegasus, wanted to flag on the top one: this is very unlikely to be a fix for it.

- reported by anonymous researcher

- if it is related, this would be the 2nd of 2 bugs that would need fixing. The first is the 0-click escape hatch from the Messages sandbox to calling functions on IOMobileFramebuffer

- there is only one bug listed for this release, and it is unlikely Apple would publicly flag #2 of 2 bugs was fixed, but not #1

- extremely tight timeframe from press reports of _a_ bug to a fix deployed, I'd like to think you could get a week turnaround on that, but...in practice, at BigCo, that timeframe would require moving heaven and earth, and yet still choosing to be irresponsible by skipping most of the gates on the release process
I would love to give Scala a solid try if I ever work with Java. Right now I'm investigating OCaml for personal stuff and will try a bit of F# since my next job is C#.
It still blows my mind how police are allowed to turn off body cams while on the clock. That should be considered an offense like a government official burning public documents, because that's basically what is going on when you turn off the video

It depends on the jurisdiction. In some police departments, turning off a body camera is a punishable offense, up to and including firing.

It's up to your city leaders to enforce this, and override the local police union's resistance, if possible.
A door would need thousands of doorknobs for that analogy to make sense.

Eh. Many EVs on the market are shitty. It’s not much more expensive than a Chevy Bolt and those are catching fire often enough Chevy has told everyone not to charge unattended or overnight and to park them outside.

That being said I don’t know how bad this vehicle is because it isn’t sold in the U.S. and I’m not really interested in a subcompact crossover regardless
Actually the green-ness is produced along with the renewable energy and then sold to non renewable energy producers who then charge the consumers.
I wonder if these problems would happen less on Linux.

On the one hand, most distros default to 1024 for the (soft) limit on open fds, which would be easier to hit if you were leaking fds and thus easier to detect.

On the other hand, a lot of things that HANDLEs get used for might end up being userspace pointers from userspace libraries instead, so the leak would be of memory instead of fds and hard to detect again.
Model 3 owner here. In practice, I stop every 1.5 to 2 hours on road trips for a 10-20 minute charge. You're never going to realistically charge to 100% and drive to 0%. Staying in the 20% to 80% range is ideal for fast charging purposes and some breathing room in case of emergency.
My point was more that the trope about people having a price seems to be pretty true.
When you look at who's polluting and who's emissions are on an upward trajectory, there's one obvious country that's actively working against the environment. China's emissions aren't slowing down. Coal is incredibly cheap when there's no carbon tax or emission standards. One of the many reasons it's cheaper to manufacture in China and why North Americans and Europeans can't compete [0].

Time to add tariffs on goods produced by states who made the decision of going all-in on polluting power generation, and potentially apply immigration quotas to citizens of these countries.

> One thing I do seem to see over and over is a pattern where journalists are a little annoyed when companies encroach on the role of journalists but do so for less money.

While there will be some bias from being challenged, I think there's also plenty of good reasons for journalists to challenge these sorts of companies.

Journalism is a profession and brings with it a lot of ethical considerations. Teaching of journalism goes into depth on why the ethics are important, how to report on sensitive topics, and all sorts that makes journalists far better qualified to report on things.

There's absolutely a place for self-taught/hobbyist writing, but it's not journalism, and if we depend on it for the "important" or hard topics we'll lose out on the benefits that well trained journalists bring to the table.

I have not seen a single piece of evidence of this, and I have not seen any burns to line up with this. If you'd like to provide some I'll happily retract my statement.

For what it's worth 8 figures is small potatoes, Bitfinex literally grabbed 800M worth of their reserves one time, so we know they have some money in the piggy bank. They have some cash, but way, way, way less than they would require for a semblance of actual legitimacy.

Otherwise, everything I posted is directly from their legal page and whitepaper.
I don’t think that they would do anything more than security guards currently do, which because of the liability and risk of prosecution, in San Francisco, is zero.
It's the same deal with breathalyzers, which don't measure blood alcohol and cannot estimate it to the levels of precision the manufacturers want everyone to believe.
Shiori is "okay" but is not actively being maintained at all. The original author abandoned it and the new maintainer apparently never planned on supporting it.
> Someone breaking into my house 10 times by jiggling the same doorknob a contractor told me they “fixed” would be very concerning.

The complexity is not the same. My grandfather is not questionning my ability to fix his computer that “breaks” once in a while just because I already fixed it the last time.
Cancer can take years to develop.

Hep C is an mRNA virus that causes liver cancer.

Why aren't vaccine makers allowing themselves to be liable for the vaccine if they're so safe? Shouldn't be an issue right?

If a bunch of people with the mRNA virus get malignent terminal cancer in a few years....the companies just throw up their hands and say "Our bad" and there's nothing you can do.
> It's not possible to replace only the battery - an AASP will replace the whole top case.

Yeah, this is true for Apple's battery service as well. I got a new keyboard and trackpad for the $288 SGD I paid.

> I also think it's more expensive for older models, because the parts are not easy to find for a 2014 computer.

This would only make sense if parts weren't ordered from Apple directly. I would imagine that they are able to as an AASP. Apple products only enter their vintage list after 5 years, and their obsolete list after 7 years: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

In this case, it looks like the AASP would still be able to order parts for your 2014 MacBook without extra cost.
There are quite a few stories about companies and research groups gunning for increasingly high lithium extraction from spent batteries. We're not there yet, but leave it to an open market to extract something of value as efficiently as possible from an effectively free resource.
Reminds me of the quote:

"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel."

Wealth dissipates very quickly especially with the nature of dilution as a bloodline grows exponentially. If you notice most inherited wealth that's more than a few generations is in authoritative states. I don't think its due to the estate tax as there are always ways to get around it.
Is this generally how it works in most countries?

Glad to see them taking the initiative to make interviews more accommodating for people on the spectrum.

As someone on the spectrum myself, I always dreaded job interviews. I would try to get as much information on what the interview would entail as well as the atmosphere and other specifics so I could mentally prepare myself beforehand and give myself a better chance to show my best side. The example they provided of performing an interview in text through a google doc rather than over the phone really hits home for me, I feel like I am much better able to communicate my ideas through written mediums than verbally.

I feel overall there is a lot of untapped talent in the neurodiverse community that is passed over due to some of these barriers in effective communication, so I'm always glad to see companies take initiatives like this.
AFAIK the current exploitable firmware for jailbreaking is 14.3 and I'm genuinely surprised that all these exploits for later versions aren't trickling down into Taurine or unc0ver.
I think you're missing your parent's point here. Folks who have street parking don't have a way to charge their cars at home. Folks are currently doing ad-hoc solutions draping wires overhead or underfoot, which is seen as a nuisance. If every residential block had a single charger, it would be both hugely expensive for a municipality and inadequate to the point of conflict among neighbors sharing that block.
What's crazy is I absolutly thought Toyota would be the leaders here. The prius HAD a full electric drivetrain ALREADY. Regen etc etc. Neat dash display. They could have dropped the gas engine out and simplified things, increase battery size and they'd have been well on the way.

Instead we have this hydrogen craziness. Billions here in CA have been spent on a "hydrogen superhighway". Meanwhile, for some reason the EV / Tesla charging network is getting built out naturally - I just did an EV plug at home for my relatives with electric cars -> no govt subsidy needed. If we get an EV (we want to) I will leave the house every day with a "full" tank.

The conversion losses are a lot less with electric -> Hydrogen you start with electricity, make hydrogen, compress it, transport it, pump it, use to to make electricity again, run engine.

Electricity you can also make locally (solar etc) and hopefully one day use as a battery backup to your house (100kW house battery would be great).
I don't agree with this analogy. It may very well point to a fundamental problem with the design of the software, or in methodologies employed in its development. In this case a reasonable inference could be that Apple's memory safety design principles need some re-examination. Hard to tell without being on the inside.

The article describes Synthetix as a means for speculating on real-world assets through the trading of tokens representing equity actually held on other exchanges. However, the tokens themselves merely underly the SNX crypto actually being exchanged.

IOW, it's just another vessel for speculating which purports to be backed by real financial assets in the same way Tether purports to be backed by cash.
