A lot of CVE disclosures I've read involving Apple typically go cold-case for a few months after disclosure. The person responsible for the old Thunderbolt memory access hack (Thunderspy) didn't even hear back from Apple upon disclosing their findings, so I think it's safe to say that they're either understaffed or not interested in fixing your critical security vulnerability

What do you think about the Gigawatts of energy + transaction fees that are going to miners? Because your hyperbolic statement is what I think of the miners in the cryptocurrency world.

They do nothing but buy up critical parts (GPUs, ASICs, etc. etc.), use up rare resources (energy / coal / etc. etc.) and then are paid to do so (mining rewards, transaction fees), without offering much innovation on their own.

Doubling the number of miners in the world for the BTC network won't improve the speed of the network, nor would it improve the rewards. All it would do, is double the energy usage.

This is progress from the UK governments previous position that all encryption needed to have a backdoor set of keys so they could check in every now and then.
This is surprising. You really think someone as big as EasyJet would get that right.

We're doing a translation now into Japanese and the translator is actually taking the time to look at screenshots and use the app to see the text in context. It makes a huge difference.

As you've pointed out, it's one thing to see the string "open" in a XLF file, it's quite another to realize it's intent. This requires setting up demo environments for each translator though.
In a functioning market, any middleman has competitors and its "vampiric profits" should quickly converge towards marginal costs.

Regulation, compliance and customer support actually cost money, and by cutting most or all of it out, crypto based services are obviously cheaper.

A better criticism of regulation would be that, depending on how it's enforced, it can serve to create regulatory motes for incumbents and hinder mentioned competition.

Crypto doesn't solve this – it just sidesteps the problem, and that isn't feasible in the long term.

While I think this is awesome (from the perspective of audio production pipelining requirements), I can't really see the need to use a VST to apply basic audio alterations for the stated ML purpose, since there are already many native DSP libraries that can apply reverb, distortion, delay, convolution, etc. to an audio signal.
There is no way for the attacker to know how many keys you have. So you can give the attacker 2 keys, while you have your actual sensitive data behind the 5th one.

It could still be a challenge to convince the attacker that you really only had n-1 keys, so you may need to include plausibly-sensitive data in earlier layers.
In air, a relatively small electric field will cause electric discharges.

A magnetic field can have very large intensities without creating problems, so that is the reason why we use electromagnetic motors and not electrostatic motors.

The maximum magnetic field in a motor is normally limited by the saturation of the ferromagnetic materials at values where the density of energy in the space between the stator and the rotor is many times higher than the density of energy at which an electric field would cause electrical discharges.

Electrostatic motors can be useful (and they are actually used in certain devices) only at microscopic sizes.
One annoying issue with translated apps the author doesn't cover is "googlability", the fact that we often need to google an error message or menu label in order to solve a problem. This leads to a lot of bilingual people running their software in English just in case they need to paste an error message into a search engine.

> But the delay is after the bitcoins are converted to fiat (...)

If you're trying to discuss aspects of the transaction then either you focus specifically on the crypto-to-crypto part of the transaction, or the fiat-to-fiat. The crypto-to-crypto part of the transaction is arguably fast but you are forced to address Bitcoin's volatility, which makes it unsuited as a store of value. The fiat-to-fiat aspect of the transaction on the other hand is arguably slower than simple bank transactions, and often with higher cost.

Every crypto proponent is doing a colossal disservice to crypto by portraying a romanticized and intensely rose-tainted view of crypto. In truth you're just setting up everyone around you to be disappointed. Between magical schemes where crypto transactions are magically instant and cost-free and pretending that crypto is not highly volatile (see the last Bitcoin 50% crash a couple months ago, or yesterday's flash crash) you're unwittingly pulling a bait-and-switch and in the process turning everyone away from it.

That old saying about selling shovels in a gold rush comes to mind.
Here's my perspective.

If you weren't a recent grad, you'd be able to negotiate easily. In other words, your value has hit the wall of an inflexible policy. It happens.

Long term, this means that your compensation is anchored to this starting package while you remain at this company.

None of this makes things "Bad" but it might change how long it'll be before you doubt or regret accepting the offer.

If you take the offer decide how long you want to give it a fair chance. After that, you'll have more experience on your resume and you can interview again if you want.

If you don't take the offer, you will be able to negotiate with a different company, but you can't predict what offer they'll start with.

I think this is a pervasive problem in hospitals today.

I was in the hospital 5 weeks at the end of 2020, and I was very aware of all the extra challenges that it brought to healing. Poor sleep due to lights/noise/interruptions, sleeping with a strange roommate who had their own sleep disruptions. Low quality food with few options, and very little fresh fruits and vegetables. On top of constant pain, boredom fear and isolation (despite all the people around).

I understand the hospitals are resource constrained, and have reasons for many of the things they do, but at the same time I feel like rest, nutrition and psychological elements are largely ignored when designing today’s hospital experiences.

For what it’s worth this was in Canada, so at least I didn’t have financial stresses in addition, but perhaps there are other countries more human in their approach to care.

I guess I've always looked at weight & battery life first, trackpad / keyboard & general build quality second, and then actual specs/performance third. As far as I can tell, Macbooks have always been the best choice for that. Especially once retina displays came out. And even now with the crazy performance of M1 Macbooks, that's gonna be hard to beat.

Yes, WASM is happening and slowly creeping into the web. The web five years ago was basically dom trees and javascript. Flash had been marginalized by then. HTML 5 + javascript was basically the only way to do web applications. Now we have web applications like Figma that are part written in C++ that have elements in their UI that are rendered in a canvas. Another one is Miro.

The next big leap here is WASM progressing to the point where e.g. garbage collection work is finished, which will enable a whole range of languages to easily target WASM as well (without having to bring their own GC). For example, Jetbrains announced a few months ago that they are working on a WASM compiler for Kotlin that will rely on this. MS has been targeting WASM as well with blazor. This will likely take another few years to mature.

Other trends are reactive frameworks like jetpack compose and swift UI slowly creeping into the mobile space. Jetbrains is actually working on web and desktop variants of compose. So cross platform UI development might become a lot easier. I expect that there will be multiple reactive frameworks for different languages available for use with wasm in browsers in a few years. Right now, it's mostly C/C++ and frameworks like QT and GTK being used for that. More choice might change a few things.
I'm really only interested in talking about crypto, but that's because I'm really 100% about that life. I am for sure biased on this subject, but everything I've said is the truth. There is literally zero incentive for me to waste my time lying on the internet to try to pump my internet money. I cannot influence a multibilion dollar cryptocurrency market with a single HN account.

In short, I just really like the coins.

> People may prefer the English experience because they expect the translated version to be inferior

No, it is not about expectations. In +95% of cases[1] the localized[2] version is objectively worse, to the point where it often only is possible for me to understand by first translating it back to English.

If you give me a localized version first, and don’t give me an obvious way to permanently choose English, I’m likely gone.

[1] Mostly excluding the big ones (MS, Apple, etc), but quite often they fail too

[2] My first language is one of the smaller European languages (<20M speakers), perhaps bigger languages have higher quality.

I think the issue is many translation databases just hold the English text and then all the translations. So the entry is “Open ticket” and then you just drop in the translation anywhere that phrase shows up. But sometimes “open” is a verb, sometimes a noun.

The actual identifier should be something like “Open a ticket (imperative, button)” and then that phrase has translations, including the English “Open ticket”.
I read this as, the bureaucracy needs to expand to catch people avoiding the bureaucrats.

Instead of investing more in this decrepit bureaucracy organization we call the IRS why isn't the proposal to simplify the tax code to make it harder to avoid. Every financial organization is already a mandatory reporter for money is that they've paid out or income that has been earned and they already exist as part of the tax collection infrastructure. Start doing away with all of the nonsense with deductions and credits and write offs and all the things that require this level of bureaucracy.

Of course that will never happen because there's too much money to be made with having an exceedingly complicated tax code. It's also not a really great sound bite to say hey Will simplify the tax code we'll put a lot of tax preparers and financial people out of work because they simply won't be needed and will increase collection rates across all income sectors.

Rabble rabble rabble 1%ers sounds better, and it also doesn't upset the big money that sits behind the Bernie Sanders.
The Visor was a neat device on account of the Springboard slot. There was an attachment, the VisorPhone, which turned the Visor into what you'd easily recognize today as a smartphone.

I don't disagree but I don't know where they are getting their marketing material where they think developers can do devops. I suspect it might some sales tactics from these Cloud/DevOps companies.
It's complicated and annoying but yes. There is also the question of 'downleveling' a core back to real mode when the others aren't. But if you require UEFI and secure boot then you could bypass that and go to a 64-bit linear reset vector anyway as that's how UEFI sets up the boot env. That would mean you'd only need to initialize that core and it'\s local APIC and associated envs in theory instead of playing mode hopscotch.

On the topic of downleveling... based on the research I've done (think writing a UEFI capable kernel for FreeDOS) it's dubious at best to do that because the real mode core wouldn't know about the local APIC and would mess with the IO APIC when you really really don't want it to. So is it possible? Potentially? Would anyone with any shred of sanity recommend it? No not in my opinion. There is no valid reason to do that.
I think that page does a bit of a disservice to AsyncAPI. IIRC it was "OpenAPI" but for messaging.

This very much remains to be seen. Much of the complexity of finance (and the value being provided) arises from the need to quantify risks of many different kinds.

The stated intent of avoiding the oft predicted, but yet to materialize apocalyptic climate disaster is implicit. The question is in regard to the possibility of ulterior motives and any curiosity the community might share about them.

"Think of the children" was a good enough rationalization to continue the war on drugs and cannabis prohibition. Why we shouldn't we once again defer to the experts and "trust the science"?

Could it be that there are ulterior motives in both cases? Why must we assume that this power grab is purely altruistic or different from other historical examples?

You have to ask yourself, why are those middlemen there at the moment? We have digital trading platforms / banking systems, the technological side of it is not the issue.

It's because regulation says only certain institutions are allowed to perform certain transactions, and have to perform certain checks, etc. I'm not saying there aren't inefficiencies that aren't directly related to regulation, eg. monopolistic behaviours. But that's the side-effect/price you pay for some kind of oversight. There is of course lots of room for improvement in the systems/regulation we have.

When you look at the history of where the regulations came from, it's usually in response to a major crisis. Humans tend to be reactionary, especially the ones in positions of power when they're enacting laws that limit their paymasters.

> The behaviour of said percentage-takers over the last century haven't exactly made regulation the saviour of the common citizenry either.

Look at the most recent major economic crisis of 2008. The main reason it was so devastating was due to rolling back regulation from previous crises, along with "innovative" financial products that regulators had turned a blind eye to. What do you think would have happened to business lending (ie. jobs) and the stock market (ie. people's pensions) if there had been zero regulation and no ability to inject liquidity into the system?

>they had available on hand had a different "number" on it, but they assured me it was a higher rating and wouldn't affect use

It's probably the amount of farad units the capacitor is rated for. You can often use a capacitor with higher farads as long as the voltage is the same and it can be even more reliable than the original part, the only trouble is sometimes they are physically larger or taller, so you have to be careful if you're working in tight spaces.
