I don't think that certificates of authenticity work like that. A certificate of authenticity has value in as much as it certifies authenticity, not because someone important has signed it. That would be an autograph.
It definitely seems like they're increasingly pertinent on multiple levels. The zine events I was going to before Covid hit we're feeling super vibrant, but there's a weird domination of blue-chip gallery art-book / zine fests that shut a lot of people out, are super expensive to attend or participate in and really don't feel very democratic or open at all in my limited experience.
> If it's okay for John Deere to do this, then why do people get arrested for scalping toilet paper?

... Federalism?

Most of the time it's not illegal to scalp toilet paper. There are select cities and states, with interventionist city councils and legislatures; when citizens saw inflated prices, these bodies decided that they would enact bans on scalping, in a manner which usually focus on consumer goods.

Note that economists suggest that scalping is a natural part of supply and demand and helps reduce shortages by incentivizing traders to move in supply from elsewhere (and scalping bans are sometimes deliberately weaponized against immigrant-owned small businesses because of course they are why did you doubt for a moment? Even NYC rolled that back somewhat and offered refunds on the fines they levied on bodegas.) But while the theoretical efficiency may or may not actually be realized in the aftermath of a disaster, it is of course entirely irrelevant to the legal monopoly on tractor repair services, which certainly have no such excuse. This just makes it all worse, of course.
Dang, there seems to be some vaccine hesitant dangerous misinforming talk in the parent comment: please deal with this asap!

We all know that Pfizer and the other pharma corps are just _helping_ us out of the _kindness_ of their hearts, are super _trustworthy_ and even so virtuous as to be _heroes_!!

They learned from the scandal of big tobacco that crime doesn't pay and that it's better to be honest instead of doubling down on lobbying & propaganda.

They even sponsor news that relates to their products.
And now they're coming out with a pill that has nothing in common with Ivermectin and supposedly gets much better results!
Yay!!
So rather than read the article, you're going to write about what the headline says -- since that is an easier workaround to an otherwise very long task.

What is next? A social media platform where headlines are the only allowable content?
Only an idiot bueracrat trying to cover their ass and reduce liability would be stupid enough to think it could do any good. The Zero Tolerance "we have to be stupid, and suspend students for getting assaulted and get ourselves sued because otherwise we could get sued!" logic.
We use it to generate code in the code completion app.
But sadly, with our values of trust facts and kindness, we cannot rely on large language models to completely generate the results as they often make up facts.
Ehh eh.

I went to a CSU for like 6k a year.

If you want to be elitist and attend the most expensive school possible, you have to eventually pay for it.

Ms. Fowler, a 2018 graduate, enjoyed the program but owes $307,000 in total student-loan debt, including about $200,000 from the master’s degree. She said she earns $48,000 as a community mental-health therapist in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.

This translates into paying 300k to feel prestigious. At dinner parties she gets to tell everyone about how she's a USC grad.

Adults have a right to make poor choices.

That said, having a hard cap of 100k unless enrolling in a high paid field ( Dr , Lawyer, anything that requires a state sanctioned license) would be a good idea.

The problem with Student Loan forgiveness is it would typically help the highest paid Americans. Most people with 100k plus in loans also make very good money.

Why in God's name would you go 300k in debt to make 50k ?

I see the same problem with boot camps, instead of accepting that building a six-figure career just takes a while, people want a shortcut. I got to six-figure figures without even having a BA, but it took a long time in a lot of very hard work.

Actually it only took me about 3 years from dropping out of college to my first six-figure job, but I was programming at least 40 hours a week back then. This was after work of course. Even now I'm off and happiest when I'm building my side projects.
Seems to be a framework to combine graphics and music etc. for whatever purpose.

"Unlimited" in quotes. Sometimes better called "unmetered". That is, you are not granted days of vacation, nor does taking a day off get deducted from any limit. But obviously if you're not showing up to work often enough, you will lose your job.
Each process, a small part of it might make it into CoW during boot, but that won't make a big difference.

If you don't have the free RAM for it and you app is small enough, you can try lower values.

Also note that currently YJIT fully initialize that memory to make it easier to debug, so it's not even virtual. That's another thing that is on the roadmap to be improved soon, and ultimately you'll only pay for the part that YJIT really use even if 250MB is allocated.

But overall all JITs trade increased memory usage for faster execution, you have to store that generated code and metadata somewhere.
Well, for my project I am using CLOS in CL where I used hash tables in Clojure. But yeah, if I went for hash tables, it would be getfs and setfs to mutate the table, or I saw there are immutable operations for hash tables in CL as well. It just takes a little more code and cognitive load to work with.
Thanks.

It seems to me like becoming a default search option is something you.com should work on (and should be much easier) once you are already really successful, but blocking instant try-out of search on the most popular browser is going to prevent you.com from achieving the user numbers needed to achieve that. I have literally never installed a Chrome extension and never will, so I guess I will never find out what improvements to the search results you can offer compared to other search engines.
Also seems to require physical access:

"may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access"

I'm sure there's cases where that's still an issue, but for me, if they have their hands on it it's probably game over via some other route.
COVID-19 Lockdowns and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Chinese have committed to building over 150 new nuclear reactors. The British government will subsidize Rolls Royce. Japan will reactivate over 30 nuclear reactors.

I don't have a degree, but I have an excellent job, and I used to consider myself lucky to be a tech-based outlier. But given how much I've paid this year for refinishing hardwood floors, installing gas lines, plumbing, and electrical work, I now wonder if tech is really that unique.

The contractors I talk to are booked out for weeks, and I need their expertise much more than they need my business. I'm not convinced that lacking a degree shuts people out of good jobs. My cynical take is that there's a mismatch between what people are willing and able to do, and what activities are valuable.

Most people aren't willing to work inside peoples' mouths all day. Dentists make bank. The HN crowd notwithstanding, most people would hate carefully crafting digital products all day. Software devs make bank. Most people aren't willing to crawl underneath houses to hook up potentially-dangerous electric/gas lines. etc.
The care you took in showing the usefulness of the task migration was appreciated, thanks.
Apple also did this whole "our apps are special" thing more than once.

I don't know why, but there's this weird temptation for every app to try to present itself as some kind of unique work of art, when it comes to UX. But I don't want art, and I don't want branding. I just want ergonomic tools - and part of ergonomics is not to have to re-learn everything every time you pick up a new thing.
It's just a fancy way of saying taking the precision and clarity out of math education. I.e., all the properties of math as a field that make it uniquely valuable among school subjects.

This is a creative coding library, similar to OpenFrameworks, Processing, etc. The description is confusing. Seems to be an in-house tool some creative agency decided to open-source.
That's an excellent point, I like the notion of disconnecting them from art entirely. Maybe there really isn't much of a need for anything about NFTs to be thought of as art. The use of the word token (NFTs) rather than art (NFAs), duh...
It's possible to work remotely in post-covid era, which allows living in nicer, cheaper locales. No longer it is necessary to move where jobs are.

Would these webcams have shipped if you couldn't see white faces well on them? I don't think they would, and the test proctors would not think of requiring one that didn't. Both the camera makers and the proctors are putting in an assumption that these products are only/primarily for white people, and thus discouraging non-white people is not an issue.

You have if/then statements that act as a clause allowing you to bypass that system for that specific person. Since all identity will be intrinsically built into the system, you can hypothetically initiate this bypass mechanism which would require multiple associated wallets to confirm that that particular wallets owner has become incapacitated and can't fu-fill their duty as an authenticator to your wallet.

I don't have any specifics on what that type of mechanism would look like (I'm just spitballing), but it's a something that definitely is interesting to think about. Maybe that mechanism randomly selects wallets that have no known correlation to your own and ask those individuals to confirm that the specified person is incapacitated. Since those people wouldn't have any stake in your transaction (allowing it to go through or preventing it from going through), they would be incentivized to be truthful.

Edit: to add to this last thought, maybe the wallet requesting the incapacitation confirmation is abstracted from the users confirming the incapacitation. The wallet essentially probes other active wallets and requests them to confirm that person is incapacitated without revealing who is requesting the information. this could help prevent collusion
Yes, TRIM exists, but it's a very limited form of coordination at best and implementations don't even do all they can with that. Every analogy is imperfect.
Yes, I think we all have had symptoms of one thing or another and thought, 'do I need to get tested.' So we have some of the listed symptoms for covid but because those symptoms are so general, most tests turn out negative
Firefighting is actually a really awful example. The practices involved require in-person practica, and there are stages of growth expected.

Additionally, for any structure of sufficient complexity, the "lead" firefighter will _absolutely_ be requesting and receiving building plans to direct the firefighters to the appropriate locations. Also, like London taxi drivers, fire truck drivers probably have to train on the streets they are protecting. (That said, I do recall stories of firefighters getting lost due to bad GPS directions.)

So to be clear, no, that's not what the meme is about. Is your essay from GPT-3?

It's about not offering anything to a discussion as they also don't even know about what tax is relevant. This person follows that rubric exactly, as they "suspect" a tax is involved, when a flash loan wash sale would just as easily not cause any tax at all and they offer no introspection into the nature of the transaction and what questions remain about how it conforms with the tax code. A person borrows money to pretend to transfer an asset to themselves and returns the money. Neither borrowing money or moving the asset to your other account are tax events. The tax remindoooooooor comes to the discussion way after the party, clueless, and says something clueless. Its predictable, its meme worthy. Pretty much everyone in crypto runs into people like them so the memes are made.

In practice there is the bureaucratic state ratchet. Everything that favors their policies is taken as gospel on the whimsiest of the evidence. "My aunt's gardner third cousin works in an ER, they are seeing mountains of children in ICUs". Everything counter their policies must be proven via large RCTs. Regulatory capture functions in the same way, creating a sea of red tape that somehow large incumbents are not subject to, but have significant relative costs for smaller upstarts.

If you are on a linux distro that supports apparmor (ubuntu/debian etc), such issues can be easily prevented by creating a sandbox profile and alias commands like node/npm to run using it.

alias npm='aa-exec -p sandbox npm'
alias node='aa-exec -p sandbox node'

sandbox profile:

# /etc/apparmor.d/sandbox
include <tunables/global>

profile sandbox {
#include <abstractions/base>
#include <abstractions/consoles>
#include <abstractions/nameservice>

/sys/** r,
/{usr/,}bin/* ixr,

# nodejs install dir
owner /home/*/nodejs/**/* rix,

owner /tmp/** rw,
owner /tmp/**/ rw,

owner /home/*/.npm/_* lrw,
owner /home/*/.npm/_*/ lrw,
owner /home/*/.npm/_*/** lrw,
owner /home/*/.npmrc r,

owner /home/**/node_modules/ rwix,
owner /home/**/node_modules/** rwix,
owner /home/**/package.json rw,
owner /home/**/package-lock.json rw,

owner /home/*/projects/**/ r,
owner /home/*/projects/** r,
}

To load the profile:

sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/sandbox

edit: For completeness, added step to load the profile.

During the pandemic, crime has shifted from preying on tourists to hitting big box businesses. Particularly pharmacies like CVS/Walgreens and high value items at grocery chains. It’s indeed a problem, but vastly blown out of proportion by folks who want to paint the picture that liberal governance is making SF fall apart. It is expensive to live here, but the quality of life - access to culture, food, green space - is hard to beat if you can afford to live here.

Homelessness remains a problem (particularly in the tenderloin) where tent encampments and drug use are a real issue. This isn’t news though (despite “shocked” op-eds in conservative media outlets) and has been endemic for years if not decades. Also not unique from other big cities that have good year-round climates.
Except those laws have to be enforced by a government that benefits from these massive corporations and/or is just apathetic about breaking them up. Seems like they would rather wield them as a cudgel to do their political bidding.

I generally don't like when technology gets itself in the way to solve a problem. Why would you need the user to make your search engine the default one before even trying it?

This is red flag at least for me, far from convenient and I doubt that installing an extension can be justified by privacy.

If your search has better value to me than say, Google, why don't let me make the decision of putting it as my default?

You're asking me upfront to grant you privileges (access to Chrome API's that are otherwise not available to you) by installing an extension? That is a no-go for many security minded people.

Also: Opening an extension link after clicking on the "search" input field looks pretty much like a dark pattern to me. This is something to avoid when it comes to a friendly UX.

Anyone thinking that Wikipedia still provides a nonpartisan platform which makes an honest attempt to catalogue all the angles on a specific topic without any blatant spin is either dishonest or naive.
What they're trying to do is make it so that private online platforms can't kick you off for your political ideology. This is an idiotic policy because it can and will be abused by extremists to violent ends at exorbitant cost to the platform. For example, if literal Nazis get kicked off the platform for organizing violent white power rallies, they would have standing to sue for discriminating against their political beliefs.
That announcement of 150 reactors in China is no real change to the long term plans either. Still simply keeping the option barely open which is very sensible to do when you're such a huge economy, even if it comes from subsidies.

In 2019, China had a new target of 200 GWe of nuclear generating capacity by 2035, which is 7.7% out of predicted total electricity generating capacity of 2600 GWe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China

So with about 50 GWe from 50 reactors today adding another 150 gives you the same goal of about 200 GWe. Unless we're talking SMRs because then the goal just got reduced to a fraction of the original.

I think a number of people who are taking the position of "but it's so HARD, and so EXPENSIVE!" to own and run bare metal network infrastructure may not have ever seen a proper OOB management setup, with dedicated OOB network, serial consoles on stuff, management routers and switch at site, things like cradlepoint LTE radios stuck to the top of colocation cages, etc.

And then basic other things like having remote smart hands ready to go, and common failure items like fans, power supplies, fan trays, hard drives pre-positioned and ready to swap in. With MOPs for swapping them. Stocks of basic things like fiber patch cables, commonly used transceivers, copper patch cables, stored in every cage.
