The entire PSD2 directive laying the groundwork for open banking is a disaster, IMHO. It seeks to do the right things but then completely ignores identity and authorization as a problem. It kinda matters, which organizations you authorize to access your financial data and how do they know it’s you. All that given the eIDAS directive is in place laying at least groundwork for EU-wide identities.

It has a glass ceiling to it: the more popular it gets the more fraud there is going to be the less popular it is.

> Which leads me to wonder if its really the genetic choices or is it just something about the farming, nutritional rich soils, or transportation/timing?

- the soil plays no great role in taste but is of course the farmer most precious resource.
- the plant genetics is preponderant in taste.
- the consumers and farmer genetics and culture are loosely related to the plant genetics.
- the missing pieces, distribution and seed providers, are the most important pieces, deciding on prices, margins and on the characteristics necessary of the products to improve those.

Local products are always best. But I can’t grow exotic fruits in Paris.
nuclear engines, even just the fission, are the future for the space. The thing is you'd never be able to launch them on Earth. So, the first thing is to get enough stuff into space and establish an assembly/test platform there, Moon probably. With Starship the Moon becomes just a 3 day trip for 100ton cargo while burning less than $10M of fuel.

>Using these resources to improve chemical flamethrowers is sub-optimal. A dead end.

Earth launch future is large rail gun (somewhere like Bolivia) as a first stage booster. Requires a bit of political will, international cooperation and a few billions. Unfortunately the 1st and 2nd aren't coming soon, so the "chemical flamethrowers" for now.

In Japan virtually every convenience store has a self service printer (¥10/page for monochrome).

For the cheap inkjets mentioned in the article, it’s even worse than the author states. I know people that think they are getting a deal buy buying a new printer every time they run out of ink because it’s “cheaper.”
Discord still has basic usability issues there if you want to, for example, keep your work and personal accounts separate. Slack is really the gold standard because it understands the need for that separation.
I really believe that tax dodging and evasion are the biggest source of social inequality.

Less budget for the state or government means less redistribution and less public services, meaning the poor becomes poorer.

What's crazy is that as a european, would I talk about taxes on hacker news or reddit, I will always encounter libertarians who are arguing that taxes are bad.

> Physics and chemistry impose some serious constraints on all life forms.

On earth's carbon based life forms you mean. Its a huge blindspot, basically monkeys looking for other monkeys. If we believe our life is sufficiently compelex biochemically, it figures that other "life" may have the same complexity but with very different structures.

So the argument for ET life to have almost exact homologs of terrestial life is bordering on naievete at best, and dangerously intolerant at worst.
Neither does Lisp in general actually, only Scheme requires tails calls as per language standard.

You cannot rely on them if you want to write portable Lisp code.
There have been several idiotic comments by lisp proponents in this thread and this is one of the stupidest. You appear to be criticizing all programmers that use libraries. You, and your peers, are coming off as arrogant and ignorant hobbyists, but the people you're talking to are largely professional programmers solving real world problems. Of course, one solves the problems that remain to be solved, and reuse good and proven solutions where these exist.

People are crazy about the game, I always hear news related to this type of activity, there are times of the best pages such as https://www.theladycrypto.com/best-bitcoin-casinos/ where they say that the players are even threatened with bombing their offices in order to recover what was lost in this crazy world is where we live.
You can reuse most of those things for years, you can also use common household items to improvise replacements for cages and such. We bought little plants this year for 3 bucks each, we had no expenses otherwise.
Which is great. It decouples responsibilities. WG gives you a secure, well-performing tunnel. Key management is outside its scope. There are many solutions to that problem, no point in forcing a "WG sanctioned" one on people.

But, really, Starlink is the weapon you're thinking of: world-wide coverage, high-bandwidth, low latency, low cost military communications system. All the air assets, and maritime assets, all the boots on the ground, and all the drones, connected via a bog-standard Internet protocols (probably using VPNs and cryptography, naturally) and soon-to-be-commodity hardware.

The U.S. would be insane to not let SpaceX go on. The U.S. air force simply needs this.
The article misses the point of the Kulak confiscations.

Stalin needed to fund the industrialization of Russia, which is difficult to do when starting with an agrarian society.

So he confiscated farm output, using class (the Kulaks were relatively wealthy) to target who had the most money.

Using that money, he industrialized and militarized Russia just in time for WW2. Part of that was hiring American factory designers who worked on Ford's River Rouge plants to build plants in Russia.

The sacrifice was millions of Ukrainian lives, both from confiscation and dislocation - when people are forcibly migrated, many don't make it.

Ironically, had the Germans not also terrorized Ukrainians and other minorities, there would have been an uprising against Stalin.
The military seems more interested in the potential for sub-orbital flights.

I fully agree with this, also that's still quite common in the embedded world.

The user presses a button which sets a hardware event flag. CPU wakes up from sleep, checks all event flags, handles them, clears the interrupt bits and goes back to sleep.

But using events like this requires a very tight integration between event producer and consumer, so I don't think this will translate well to distributed systems or microservices.
Oh right, apologists for the sterilisation of women and the destruction of a culture, nice.

That does not mean that they survive.

In Poland such places are mostly gone (some survive near universities) as nearly everyone has printer accessible at home or at work.

Some are at places where people need printing (government offices) but charge massive fees.

> all over the world

World is more varied than you expect.

No such thing in Poland and closest equivalent does not offer printing as service (exceptions may apply).
Not lock-downs specifically. Testing and isolating, Maybe, but it would have cost many more lives.
This sounds alarming, like something that could be called a mental health crisis in the DC police. How many police responded on Jan 6, maybe five hundred? 4/500 in seven months would be a terrible rate.
Oh, I get it now. And then when they expire they deposit undigestable material in the soil, capturing carbon and eventually turning into coal. The dawn of the dextro-carboniferous period.

Reading the dump? That isn't nearly as effective as giving users the ability to administer their system. That is in no way an alternative.
Well, yeah, police was endlessly demonized and underfunded in the past decade. There are a few bad apples, but that doesn't justify group guilt and neglect. Rioters should have never been able to attack Capitol OR government buildings in Seattle/Portland. Not saying that Jan 6 was not a bigger threat to the union of those events, although vast majority of rioters were simple hooligans with no credible plans to gain or hold power.
A little tin foil hat but I can imagine shitty company engaging marketing companies to spread the Karen meme.

Opinion: Visa, open banking and password sharing
I do get the RATM ethos and the libertarian ideas. I don’t support them but I do get where they are coming from.

Given that, can somebody explain to me how does BC solve any of the things they don’t like? Instead of a faceless bureaucracy, there is now a dynamically complex computer system controlled by God knows whom the inner workings of which are even less transparent to a layman than those of the us monetary system. How exactly is this better? Don’t tell me it being “open source” solves anything. BC is an emergent function of a large network of thes open source nodes depending on policy and configuration for much of its functionality instead of the specific math which, as all crypto, relies on people not advancing too fast and people can only hope is properly implemented.
Probably because while regulatory capture is a real thing, and the FAA did bend for Boeing, the FAA was partly the cause of the MAX disaster. If there had been a small incremental training sub-type certificate program, then Boeing would have trained pilots in how to handle the different pitch moment of the MAX. Instead the type certificate thing led to... well, everything that happened -- not inexorably, no, because Boeing screwed the pooch in many ways, and perhaps they would have found other terrible mistakes to make. But inflexibility at the FAA was -ironically!- a cause. I say ironically precisely because then the FAA relaxed the redundancy requirement and so on.

I live in California and it has been illegal since 2009, but our society is in shambles as you are no doubt aware, enforcing cell phone laws is the least of our worries...

The signing bonuses are not a sign of employee strength, they're a way to keep salaries down (and, often, lock employees into jobs that they know will be disappointing, if the bonus is repayable if you leave within a short period, as they often are).
Police in general were the main target of hate in BLM. Some were murdered in the name of BLM because all of them were seen as complicit in the black killing issues.
That article has a photo of a rich white woman (with a long history of abusing the legal system to get what she wants, it turns out) pointing a handgun at black people peacefully walking on the street in front of her house. Doesn't really support your claim very well.

In any case: the term "Karen" well before it was an internet meme was coded language for people of color to talk about white women exploiting their gender and racial privilege to boss PoC around when they're doing something the Karen doesn't like. --- Edit: my bad, I had Karen confused with "Becky." Becky is the term used by PoC to describe privilege-abusing white women. ---

Sidewalk Susie, Permit Patty, and BBQ Becky. All white women confronting people of color for doing things they don't like, bossing them around and when that doesn't work, siccing the police on them, because they know that cops come running for white women. No "blankfaces" to be seen.

It's also used by people in the service industry to describe white women who try to order them around and are abusive because they think they're entitled to special treatment. Karen is a Karen not because she wants to "speak to the person in charge" but because she thinks she's special and important...and in turn demands to speak to people in charge. A store or restaurant employee who loses their job if they don't follow a company policy is not a blankface.
Event driven architecture honestly seems like a different flavour of all the things we hate with spaghetti code gotos.
Same, except: Get a HP color laser printer that does duplex printing.

(“Duplex”. Funny word. It seems to be latin for “can slurp the paper back into itself to flip it and print on both sides of the page”.)

In all earnestness, I am 100% convinced that yours is the best possible printer advice for many people! Maybe the majority?

People like me might have the competitive disadvantage of lower reading speed of black-and-white-only text and figures. Or the capacity to employ color for faster ingestion? For people who find that they benefit from readig in color, I emphatically recommend getting a color laser printer. With duplex printing.

Specifically, the HP M254dw has been excellent. I followed online recommendations for it. It has been bulletproof. As a detail, printing on it in macOS seems nicer and smoother compared to the Brother printers I’ve used. iirc Linux printing just worked.

Color has been worth having. For example, there are more and more computer science papers that have colored syntax in the typeset PDF. Printing these to a keel-stapled full-color book using the Booklet layout option in macOS is magic. It’s just great. I read a lot more papers with the capacity to print them like this instantly and on demand. Reading retention is better. Scribbling notes on the margin is magic too. And the little books make great gifts.

—For the keel stapling, there are “long-arm staplers”. I believe they’re also called “lawyer’s staplers” or something like that? I got a Zenith 502 cucitrici da tavolo per cucire con precisione lungo la piega fogli piegati a quaderno. It’s a little Italian tank. It’s great! Beautifully designed. https://www.zenith.it/prodotti/cucitrici-da-tavolo/zenith-50...

They say you can’t buy happiness. I hold that it can be. It’s just not a given. You can’t just buy … anything. Certainly, a duplex color laser and a good long-arm stapler have brought me a measure of happiness.

I'm glad people are helped. Something is better than nothing.

I also think that, a service that is focused on helping those with personal connections to Facebook employees dampens the most potent source of visible friction for the maintainers of a system that clearly has the potential to be arbitrary and oppressive.

I think we would all be better off in a world where each oops case was solved by changing the overall system - even if we also recognize that change on that scale is difficult for then the most well intentioned.

What is commonly called IPsec is actually two separate protocols, IPSec itself and ISAKMP/IKE for key management.

IPSec is somewhat similar to how wireguard work actually, it relies on IPs and static encryption keys. Not too hard to configured, see for example the manual keying documentation of slackware: https://book.huihoo.com/slackware-linux-basics/html/ipsec.ht...

ISAKMP/IKE is then used on top to manage the IPsec keys and parameters. This is where a lot of the complexity comes in, tons of parameters, modes, etc. etc.

So if all you want is to secure communication between two IPs and can securely exchange key material out of bands, manually keyed IPsec is not very complicated.
Absorbing large amounts of CO2 happens every second since 2-3 centuries at this point, and is the main driver of ocean acidification and subsequent coral bleaching, loss of wildlife, etc. If the mentioned process could "recycle" the CO2 needed for lime production, then it could be a big win for a very hard to decarbonize sector.

What is still to be checked is how more expensive this lime will be, and how it will stack up compared with traditional limestone+carbon tax

The problem is closer to whether the spike protein is near an local maxima for infectivity since it's involved in binding to ACE receptors. Since mutations in COVID seem to conserve the spike protein region, it presently looks quite likely that it can't be changed very much without performing worse. Hence the viral replication optimum: spreading to more individuals makes the virus dominate the population quicker.

Evolution does whatever leads to more of the successful thing existing, so viral loading was a pretty obvious move: the question is whether there's any vaccine-evasion which doesn't compromise that advantageous (Delta suggests yes, but its possible that's as far as it can actually go).
