Windows will most likely consider this malware, since it is effectively piracy (removes activation checks) and it does mess with Windows Defender by disabling a bunch of phone-home stuff like malware sample submission. If you're already getting people to disable Windows Defender and/or make an exception for the exe, it's suddenly super easy to also embed some custom C&C into it, either for mass use (eg. using a Windows service to have machines participate in a ddos botnet) or for targeted use - when a specific network block downloads it, the C&C sends a different payload that quietly looks for git credentials or trade secrets and ships them off.

They technically don't have an incentive now, but if they ever get one, it'll be super easy to abuse this position to embed malware. Don't think of the threat as the current company, but someone buying them for $millions and quietly doing this years later.
I have decompiled AppKit on macOS occasionally to debug issues in my app.

For example, in one case I discovered that double clicking a cell sometimes only selected part of the contents. With Hopper I was able to verify that the bug is that AppKit just selected the range from 0 to 32000, assuming that would be enough. I was able to work around the issue by manually selecting a bigger range. (I also reported the bug to Apple, they told me they won't fix it because it's a deprecated API. Doesn't matter that 100s of apps, including Apple's own, were still using it...)

In another case, I found out that an obscure feature (text attachments with custom cells) was crashing because AppKit called -release too often, so it was impossible to use the feature. Apple had apparently broken it when implementing the force touch functionality for dictionary lookups.

Another time Cornerstone, the SVN client, was broken on a prerelease version of macOS. I don't recall the details, I think they called -registerDefaults: too early. I was able to fix it by writing a dynamic library that changed the -registerDefaults: implementation so that it ignored the first call (today with hardened runtime this fix wouldn't be possible anymore without disabling system integrity protection).
Please never implement a password feature without reading more about how passwords should be stored.
The problem with that logic is the streetlight fallacy. If you're predicting "rot" in the Bay Area, it's true, you can cite your "30-40" year timeframe and argue it's "due" or whatever.

But people have been predicting this kind of Downfall of California for essentially all of those four (more like five now) decades! And they were wrong every time.

So, are you correct now because you are predicting Californian Doom from proper first principles? Or are you, like all your forebears, constructing those principles to argue for the conclusion you want to see? I think simple numbers (from your own post!) give you at best a 2-3% chance of being right.

California is fine. You'll know it's lost when somewhere else is better.

I feel like you cherry picked the one study that fits your bias, and ignored the dozen others which do not.

Here’s a direct counter from one of the other studies:

> The CDC researchers found that people previously infected but unvaccinated were 2.34 times more likely to get reinfected than people who were previously infected and fully vaccinated.

And here’s the conclusion of the article:

Overall, the variable immune responses to infection, lower neutralization against delta, and the clear boost in protection from a very safe, highly effective vaccine make a strong argument for vaccinating the recovered.

It's not "functionally equivalent" because I literally haven't shown my vaccine pas to anyone for over 1 month even though I have been on trains, to university, shops, malls, restaurants, cinemas, gym, swimming pool, and many other places. Withdraw your misinformation now.
Microsoft has faced so much criticism for their approach to telemetry - I don't really understand why they don't at least provide the option to opt out of all telemetry.

If they left it enabled by default, but provided an option to opt-out, realistically only a small segment of users would do so, and most of them would likely be power users who are already taking other steps to try to prevent telemetry being collected and/or sent. So they'd take an insignificant hit to telemetry, but would gain a lot in goodwill.

Any reason not to do this?

Correct.

If only storing/retrieving was the goal, a text field would have been more than enough.

But we also needed to retrieve data based on their address, and to generate reports on a daily basis, which made for being able to do "JSON queries" so much easier.

So we put that logic in the application layer instead, something like:

User
- lookupByAddress(data)

GermanUser inherits from User
- overrides lookupByAddress(data)

...etc., so that we could be very specific about our queries depending on the country, or even _region_ in some countries.

Google writes news articles?

The issue is freedom of expression. If individuals are allowed to speak, write and disseminate information and opinion freely and own businesses, why can't they charge for it? Well, that's a news organisation. It's not that you necessarily trust any one individual publisher, it's that a range of views are freely represented in the press generally.

The Chinese constitution used to guarantee free speech, but the massive disconnect between what the constitution said and what was actually allowed was so gargantuan it became a bit of an embarrassment in the post-Tiananmen era. Since then the constitution has been revised extensively to be less blatantly contrary to reality.

Totally incidental aside, but one of the inciting incidents for constitutional revision was a court case brought by a person fired from their job for being short, where the actual job had no real requirement for them being any particular height. They won the case based on the constitution's barring discrimination, but the fact that a court had granted a right to someone based on the constitution was so novel and unheard of that it caused massive conniptions in the CCP.
I agree adapting the natural gas infrastructure to hydrogen could have big benefits.

There might also be a place for ammonia storage/transport here. It's a denser fuel, which gives it some transportation applications (creating a bigger market), and it's easier to store.

Xi does not want power for himself. Xi wants power to remain in the hands of the party and CPC is laying the foundation of governance model for a robust state in the 21st century that also (TBD) does not inhibit economic and technological development. It is reasonable to argue against that goal (statist socialism) but imho superficial to frame this as yet another power grab by an individual. He is simply the tip of a consensus block in CPC. Historically, Xi represents the ‘adjustment of CPC to global conditions while maintaining continuity of the party’ post Nixon era re-engagement and re-evaluations.

That is likely true.

I was surprised though at how high property taxes are in Texas (relative to California where I have lived for some time). Also, toll roads.

It's almost like you got to pay for things somehow. ;-)

The cost of housing is so far down the ladder with regard to the Bay Area though that even with the higher property tax rates, it's still probably a money-saving move to head to Texas.

(The toll road thing is a crazy regressive tax though, IMHO.)
Drinking rainwater is easy and healthy. Yes it's best to filter it and let the sediment fall out and treat it with UV (all of which is reasonably inexpensive, and necessary to remove the dirt and bird poop that was sitting on your roof) but it's quite soft and free of chlorine and fluoride. It's essentially distilled water. For the benefit of your teeth you should use a fluoride toothpaste, but other than that there's nothing unhealthy about drinking rainwater.

Cue disclaimer that I am in no way shape or form, a medical advisor. Any advice you receive here should not be taken as professional advice unless strictly from a neurologist or psychologist.

I would suggest neurofeedback, biofeedback, and/or neuromodulation, if you do not feel comfortable medicating. I can tell you from experience, the drugs can turn you into a zombie with static emotions, but it's not the same for everyone. The mind-body interface is capable of being reprogrammed, and coping techniques can make it possible to live a healthy, happy life with ADHD.
Another word of encouragement, do not look at this as a disorder, or disease. It can be crippling to look down on your own mental function as "not normal". Seeking methods to help you change how your cognition and behavior affects your life can also be taxing on ones self esteem. You are not "abnormal" or "disordered", just wired a little different.
Good luck.

The only reason to start a tech company in CA was the proximity to talent and capital. I always found it funny that supposedly cutting edge high tech VC’s wanted you nearby when we had all the tools to base anywhere in the world. Seemed like they were unnecessarily limiting deal potential. Same thing with engineers.

Now that remote work has accelerated into the mainstream, there is zero reason to base in CA, and many reasons to go elsewhere.

Edit: also, the CA of today is very different from the one that cradled the computing industry.

To expand upon your point about the greater political moment: these revolutions have never been good for the working class, because those with little power in order to gain a powerful voice need to organize into powerful interest groups using voting (with little cheating) plus free speech plus a way to overthrow a corrupt regime. These groups of people may strongly disagree on other issues, but unite on work. Notice how all of these are under attack by critical social justice activists.

Identity politics is just a tool to divide the people into unchosen cuts that are too small to affect change or fight back against a corrupt elite.

In the US a minority of people comprising both sides of the “horseshoe” are uniting together to push towards a China like system. No communist (Soviet Russia), fascistic (hitler Germany), communist fascist merge (China) has ever had the means for the working class fight for themselves. In all of these systems the political elite have much greater access to wealth than any other group of people, and the working class paid the cost and lived a basic living style.

I visited HN for a decade before creating an account. Now, I find thoughtful and engaging conversations on HN. It reminds me that while many of us do not work in the same profession/field, the inquisitive nature of the posts and comments speak to our common interests and curiosity.

> I'm reading this as the royal you and not directed to me directly.
That's incorrect. My quote telling you to stop bending over backwards searching for things to be afraid of was definitely aimed at you personally.

Okay. Feel angry about that I said it, then.

You may be surprised to learn that I don't feel you get to tell me what my place is. You're just an anonymous stranger on the internet, trying to make rules for people who don't listen to them

It's weird how I told you to stop bending over backwards to find things to be afraid of, and you responded with more things that you are afraid of, which are equally bereft of a single piece of supporting evidence.

PG&E has never had any deaths from nuclear. No American operator is. I'm not interested in your attempts to coin your fiction up into reality by calling it pornography.

The difference between pornography and cartoons is that pornography is a real thing that happened, whereas you're sitting here telling Aesop's Fables.

If America had ever had a single death from nuclear power, I'm sure you'd be trying to make it sound important right now.

Six hundred thousand deaths per year from air quality, climate change, and you're still struggling to make a half a bus accident look relevant.

Stop it, dude. You can't convince me. All you can convince is people to be anti-nuclear.

This display of trivia you're trying to do is really counterproductive.

Every time I tell you that, you seem to double down with more trivia and more unjustified fear, like maybe the problem is you weren't convincing enough, rather than that you're just doing the wrong thing

And the reason for this is there is usually "a guy" that mistakes his current love for X with X being better than every other competing product.

Sometimes what happens is that somebody buys X, X is expensive, and so now everybody must use X for everything (even if it is not strictly needed). Usually because it looks silly when X is being paid for on an ongoing basis but not being used for anything important.

I'd just like to touch upon that 94% figure. It's from this source[0], which actually says:

> Of these critical vulnerabilities, 94% were found to be mitigated by removing admin rights, up from 85% reported last year.

It's a very fine line, but they're mitigated by not running stuff as admin, not just removing admin rights from the main user's account. With Ameliorated, people will still want to set up software as admin and install to Program Files, so if they take the advice from the FAQ, they might think they're fine just having a separate Admin account they use for UAC pop-ups to install the programs, while leaving their main as a standard user, which is indeed not going to solve any zero-days compared to users just being able to click 'yes' at UAC.

This is about as reliable as the reports claiming that 20 million Chinese people had died because of a dip in the number of cell phone contracts early on in the pandemic.

The idea that the virus was spreading to any significant extent in Wuhan in May 2019 is absurd. The outbreak only reached sufficient proportion to be noticed in late December 2019, when hospitals first started noticing clusters of pneumonia patients. And by all appearances, the Chinese government was completely unprepared for the outbreak - the response in late December 2019 through mid-January 2020 was chaotic and ineffective. The idea that the government had been secretly preparing for more than half a year in advance of the first known outbreak in Wuhan just doesn't make any sense at all.

It's a sad statement on the state of journalism that this sort of nonsense gets any traction in mainstream media, and it's an even sadder statement on the level of anti-Chinese paranoia that people buy it.
