That would neither be necessary nor particularly helpful.

I think you're really talking about a soft default here with 'default on the currency' (normally you default on debts, not currency), which is in fact the current policy of risking inflation to get rid of debts, but then you're following that up by suggesting austerity, which was also tried as a response to 2008 (the UK is a prominent example), and failed miserably as well.

There's nothing wrong with borrowing for counter-cyclical spending, or with borrowing in general IMO. There are other answers than borrowing to pay for everything or never borrowing and during a recession a little government support (monetary and fiscal stimulus) can go a long way.

What is wrong and dangerous IMO is to pretend that we don't need taxes any more and that countries can simply print their way out of any problem (as has become orthodoxy with MMT). This used to be called debt monetisation, and was frown upon as debasing the currency in this way usually eventually ends in financial crisis and/or hyperinflation. We'll see where it leads as this is the policy we've been pursuing since 2008 and supercharged in 2020 as you can see in the graph above.

Ask HN: Book that exalts man's spirit?
Faulkner, in his Nobel Price acceptance speech, wrote this:

“[Man] has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.”

What book have you read -- no matter the author, no matter its age or genre -- that has done exactly this for you?
There is no way this thing is %100 open source. Last time I built a full AOSP from scratch, I found out:

- VoLTE and SMS over LTE is a proprietary library.

- WiFi calling is a proprietary library.

- the Vendor partition is entirely proprietary, and at least for the Pixel, is different depending on if you use the AOSP version or the stock Google Version.

- For the Pixel 3a, you cannot even POST the phone without adding a proprietary library! I would be shocked if it's different for the Pixel 4.

I know for a fact that you cannot even boot a Pixel 3a without adding proprietary libraries.

In my opinion, if Nitrokey was at all serious about making this 100% open source and secure, they would help mainline the kernel for it.

Edit: https://social.nitrokey.com/@nitrokey/106861801899442589

Its not 100% open source.
Yup, we still can't do base load on solar or wind power. Unless you're lucky geographically, nuclear is the best option.
I think a better solution would be a pure materials approach of adding window coatings or internal layers which selectively reflect/polarize most of the light from the standard laser wavelengths available to the public.

An additional solution implementing electronics could be equipping all windows and possibly other areas on the craft with sensors which sound an alarm the instant any laser light is detected so that the pilots become aware of the problem before it takes its effect. Having two pilots and an autopilot also helps with this but this does nothing for most single pilot aircraft.

Well, with backdoored HSM module tracking is the least of your problems.
In 2020 I had booked several international flights for my team, all using a travel agency that has served me well for year. Within weeks after it was clear we needed to cancel everything, I had full refunds. I cannot stress enough, for business travel it's just so much easier. I use https://flightfox.com. They have never once asked me to promote them - I just really love this company: their business model is that you pay them a fee and they find you cheaper/easier flights but you get the bonus agency services as well.
I'd argue that for most of the "Big" problems (world peace, nuclear proliferation, pollution, climate change and providing food/education/healthcare to all) the problem can be summarized as "lack of collective will to make the changes required". It is pretty clear what we would need to do to drastically reduce carbon emissions for example, but almost nobody is willing to make the economic sacrifices required.
This is why there is such a huge mindest difference between baby boomers and millenials. The boomers grew up in an environment where every single helping hand was useful. Millenials grew up in an environment where they have to compete to get anywhere. It wouldn't surprise me if this is fueling ageism because old people simply can't handle the unreasonable level of competition.
Of course fines of that size have an impact, no matter how rich the company is, because the fines aren't necessarily one-off events. If they don't fix whatever the fine was given for but just carry on as nothing changed, there will be progressively bigger fines down the line.

The more interesting question is what the impact will be. Based on the article, it might be just changes to a privacy policy that no normal human will read anyway:

Tangentially related question: could Nuitka target WebAssembly, given that according to their overview page, they translate Python into C? Usually when it comes to Python -> WebAssembly, the biggest problem is the lack of GC in the WebAssembly spec (as far as I understand), and I'm wondering if this would be an issue for Nuitka as well...

> The value prop of v6 is: ??? Learn an entirely new networking stack!

The value prop of IPv6 is not having to pay US$ 30/IP (and rising) when you need a block of new IPs. Most folks don't need that many public IPs and so simply use RFC 1918 addresses and then implement the kludge that is NAT. NA(P)T was codified in 1999 (RFC 2663), and it is now "background radiation" so people think it's normal because it's all that they've ever know.

But we've long gotten to the point where we're now doing double-(CG)NAT, and entire chunk of address space (100.64.0.0/10) has been reserved just for this purpose:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_shared_address_space

I'm waiting for triple-NATing to start occurring.

They do, but they’re sufficiently high you really shouldn’t hit them unless your traffic pattern is very extreme (the main home option is 5TB/month).

Asymmetric FTTP is because they’re using Openreach’s FTTP platform (like most other ISPs in the UK), and Openreach FTTP is asymmetric.

The fact they don’t offer faster speeds is currently a limitation of their broadband platform (they use in house developed routers), but they’re working on it.
I do run an xmpp server and use the Conversations app on Android (which is an app that every other messaging app should look at, it's just perfect).

It definitely got much better but and is heading in the right direction, but to convince people to move over it needs to be really easy. That's the one thing that apps like whatsapp, signal or telegram provides, it's easy.

Setting up a feature-full XMPP server is not that hard, but requires a good amount of admin still. Understanding the impact of choosing a client over another requires to have some basic knowledge of the protocol itself. For example, which XEP is supported by the client and the server.

I do get that the extensibility of the protocol is really powerful, but it's also its weakness in my opinion, adding a complexity that is hard to understand for non tech users.
> For example, Poles, Danes or Swiss seem to enjoy their national identity quite a bit more.

So a country with a nationalistic government, which is in constant trouble with the EU regarding rule of law, a tiny country with 5 million inhabitants and a country exactly famous for not being part of any groups.

But I do get your point. France would have worked, too.

I think there is a time and a place to feel part of a group, which is not bad in itself. What I do not like is advertising for foreign groups or arbitrarily joining winning teams.
I am a life long lover of philosophy but the idea of spending $50k+ on a philosophy degree is utterly ridiculous to me.

I am about 40 hours in, and so far it’s one of my favorite games in the last decade. It’s feels like the final fantasy games of my youth.

There is enough equipment to have some variety, but not so much that it becomes borderline meaningless like a lot of games. Character upgrades are just the right amount of deep to be enjoyable but not overwhelming. So far there’s a little grinding, but not much.

The graphics and music are great, but it’s the gameplay for me that’s kept me playing.
Market winners are libertarians. Everyone else are socialists.

One nice unintended side effect of Bezos' tantrums (demands for more cake and ice cream) is the implicit recognition that governments create markets, are the source of all wealth.

As a taxpayer, I'm overjoyed that we're bankrolling SpaceX (and everyone else). I want sat phones and vacations on Mars.

Then in 10 years, when Musk is a trillionaire, I'll be even happier when we claw back his windfall thru repeated radical cashectomies.

Once Musk is reduced back down to billionaire status, award him a Presidential Freedom Markets™ Medal. And maybe rename some buildings.

> can be taken away at any moment

Not exactly, no. It can be taken away when your server operators decide it. But in the federated model, we go with explicit trust relationships and non-profit, community-operated hosts so that's not a problem in practice. In fact, i'm glad my server operators actively defederate from neonazi-friendly nodes, so that i don't have to deal with them... just like i'm glad my email operator validates DKIM and uses rate limiting to prevent spam.

> some public-key crypto or something that allows you to move your identity

That's a very interesting approach. It's been implemented in the ZOT protocol (Hubzilla ecosystem), and has been talked about in the Jabber/XMPP and Matrix ecosystems too. I'm excited for that future, if we can come up with an interoperable spec across protocols.

> use the cloud just as dumb object store with little to no awareness of what it is serving

That's an interesting approach indeed, and i'm interested if you have more resources/links on that. I've been thinking for a while about reducing the difference between federated and P2P services, like how servers could help you seed your content, and/or act as inbox for when you're offline.

I've started drafting a blogpost in that direction a while back.. nothing much in there yet but if it can be of interest to you: https://ttm.sh/tHG.md

Most of the problems that devs are facing with docker are not actually docker but this layer that tries to abstract the VM.
So in the end, it's quite common that you have fix things in the VM or get rid of it.

> in the same way

This is an odd phrasing since a cryptographic hardware key does allow tracking (in a different way), so the fact it's different seems hardly relevant. For example a compromised Titan M could open you up completely to MITM of any network connections your device makes.

It could also allow any entities that already have some limited access to your device (i.e. an app restricted via OS perms) to gain broader access to sensitive data on your device.
What is the guarantee that the Titan M chip is not backdoored?

Is there any detailed documentation about this chip?

I’m not saying everyone will run their own homeserver (setup/maintenance costs, maintenance skills required, and economies of scale combined guarantee some considerable degree of consolidation, as with email), but that if it should be capable of it. If it’s not capable of it, it won’t be capable of even limited federation at sufficient scale.
True - and hopefully this energy can be put towards groups actually building / modding. Can we get a FOSS Titan-like chip that we can just swap out on the boards? Bulk order from the same manufacturer could be well priced.

There's also the Snikket.org project which operates on an invitation principle (small server model). Any user on the server can send invites for new users, and they just click a few links to get started. Once again, feedback is welcome.

> Understanding the impact of choosing a client over another requires to have some basic knowledge of the protocol itself.

That's a big problem and that's actually one of the reasons we started the joinjabber.org project, to help people choose a server/client. Let us know if something is not clear or can be improved on there.

Also worth mentioning, the Snikket project friendly-forks a bunch of clients to provide a consistent featureset/experience across platforms, as explained here: https://snikket.org/blog/products-vs-protocols/

Whoever downvoted this does not know how NAT and firewalls function.

That NAT and firewall are independent functions, even if they may be performed by the same program, is a simple true fact, which cannot be contested.

NAT cannot enhance security in any way. On the contrary, only the absence of any NAT can enhance the security of private IPv4 networks, because only when NAT does not exist, the computers with private addresses are no longer reachable from outside. Whenever a device that does NAT exists in your network, your internal private addresses become public addresses, no longer hidden from the Internet, because that is what NAT does. The fact that multiple internal addresses are mapped to a single external address may make more difficult the tracking of individual users, but it does not protect the internal computers in any way from external accesses. That is the job of the firewall, which filters the undesirable IP packets.

So anyone who believes that NAT is something that provides security is delusional.

I own a subnetwork of public IPv4 addresses and I have a private network of computers connected to the Internet through a router/firewall, which is a standard PC on which I have been managing the firewall and NAT for almost 20 years.

Neither of my 2 ISP's supports IPv6, so I use IPv4 with NAT.

However, if I could use IPv6, rewriting the firewall rules would not take more than a few minutes and the security would be exactly the same as it is with IPv4 and NAT.
