HN tries to use canonical addresses. In the page source two canonical addresses are provided, the first is:

<link itemprop="url" rel="canonical" href="http://kk.org">

And the second is the correct one:

<link rel='canonical' href='https://kk.org/thetechnium/class-1-class-2-problems/' />

I'm imagining HN takes the first, always, and doesn't use any extra logic to try and discern (when there are multiple) which should be used.
Hydrogen: React-based framework for building custom storefronts
Did you hear about the supply chain problem, which even Apple suffers from?
This is definitely a point people miss.

There are many things which count as organic qualified treatments which are defensibly “not particularly synthetic” but are still concerning from an environmental and human health angle.

Just because something is close to nature doesn’t mean it’s better or healthier.
Curious, were they successfully able to make future Pis immune to this?
> I mean that there is a lot of fraudulent products with no way for end users, or even final step-manufacturers to even know what is in their product. With Vechain, and consumer can look up the complete immutable record of every piece of his product, chip, board, screen, etc, signed by each supplier.

This is missing the point: the hard part is being able to trust the values put in those records. What you described works just as well with regular PKI at much lower cost — the problem is putting in place the audit framework which ensures that the values being signed are correct and that the physical item you're holding is in fact the same one which was inspected.

Most of the scams we see reflect breakdowns in that trust relationship: an unscrupulous supplier selling defective parts, someone swapping tags from higher-priced items onto similar but lower-quality ones and pocketing the difference, etc. The security of the system you described comes down to how well they can provide physical auditing to ensure that the database view of the world matches the real one, at which point you don't need a blockchain. A distributed ledger might have some useful qualities but it's not revolutionary and there are other ways to achieve the same benefits without the same reliability and cost considerations.
I'm of the opinion Reddit is the most toxic and hateful website on the internet. It's also the most influential.
Yes, hence why a redundant law was rejected.

At least that part of the puzzle is obvious:

Users should never touch system files nor have to look at them. I never want to see any asfawe.sdwae file ever again. Its like keeping power tools in the cup board or having screwdrivers in your utensils drawer. Its like keeping the manual in the washing machine. You open the door and instantly know it's a ridiculous idea.

The user should be able to do what he wants, anything should go, there should not be any bad moves besides deleting their own stuff, they should be able to simply delete everything. Make it a partition with a warning prompt.
Most people feel excluded by this sort of thing.

If we had real "energy democracy" people would express that they want cheap energy.

In the US people riot when a black person is killed by the cops and the cops are acquitted. People in the US think energy prices are a matter of the market, but in most countries (say Egypt and France) people riot when energy prices go up.

I think he might care and believes this is the best he can do from a business perspective. It is not easy to remain firm to not censor content when there are thousands of users asking you to do it. That they removed any mention of Swartz from the site was pretty low though. Wonder what their rationalizations were. That he did commit suicide? That he was adamant about free speech and against corporate censorship? Reddit seems to be a bit clumsy here.
While this is a warning sign in general, there does exist software that is simply 'done'.
> I recently read a comment which suggested that in many Western Europe countries it is illegal to voluntarily help someone who is not family or to barter services.

No, it's not illegal (I would have added 'obviously' but this very question shows that it may not be so obvious...)

But, as is the case everywhere, a transfer of money/property/work may give rise to various tax liabilities.
> we are not in fact experiencing unprecedented times that call for new restrictions

I'm sorry, I think we might be talking cross purposes here ...

I was talking about Aaron Swartz specific advocacy around digital free speech, which reddit embodied spiritually up until rather recently. Some of the community activity went very far down the rabbit hole indeed. I was speculating if Aaron Swartz might have experienced some kind of dissonance at that, though public discourse being what it is he might not have been able to express that ... but alas he did not live to see his views challenged thus.

Of course there are historical parallels to this, across history and many other aspects of society. I don't see how the need to continue this discussion is any less relevant today than it was then though.
Yeah, and now Sweden is/was considering limiting this as it considers Portugal a tax haven for their nationals. This (and previous) government can suck balls. They don't give a shit about the actual portuguese living here. High tax rates, shitty public services, but if they can attract any foreign money to look good, fuck the portuguese.

And don't get me started on how these foreigners that get tax exempt status drive up prices of everything here (ps: no problem with foreigners per se, just the ones that get special tax status). Had French and Italian people here literally tell me that what they save in taxes with these schemes basically pays for the house, so they don't mind paying more for the houses (I worked with some real estate companies)

I played around with different methods of interacting with these websites and found one that works for me. With Reddit, I deleted my account and simply visit the site on the mobile browser. I just have the subreddits I like bookmarked. Eventually, a little screen pops up and says "get the app or get off", and that's usually about the time I should get off Reddit anyway. It's a shame, I used to be an active contributor to subreddits like /datascience and /<my hometown>, but I noticed on multiple separate instances that I was talking to / arguing with a troll karma farming account. On my home town subreddit. I feel a lot better now that I am simply incapable of arguing on that website anymore.

I also deleted my accounts with all of my other social media sites. I think HN is the only social media site I still have an account with.
What's wrong with full disclosure? It's the only thing that really works.

So what if someone is slightly embarrassed? Lag time for "responsible disclosure" is often on the scale of months-to-quarters. If it's truly a real security problem and not just some made up attack that can only happen in a lab under ideal conditions, it will be a red-ball.
> but the reality is you are trying to hire someone who thinks like you.

Not really. If someone can present solid reasoning and argue their point well, they don't have to think like me. Three's more than one way to skin a cat.

> Maybe they don't like the technology you're discussing. Maybe they just don't care enough to have an opinion on it.

You mean the technology they are being hired for? Yeah, hating, not caring about it is probably not a good motivator to go for the job then, wouldn't you agree?

> None of the above are good reasons to pass on a candidate.

Beats the whiteboarding. I was hired like that in my last 3 jobs and I have used the same approach myself with rather consistently good results.
You’re assuming “organic” implies some sort of increased manual process, it decidedly does not.

On the contrary, the justice system was working against him for the entire two years between his arrest and suicide. Additional indictments, plea deals, counter-offers, threats, etc. Two years of a person's life before they even get to trial! That's the American "justice" system.

In fact, in the federal justice system, only 2% of defendants end up going to trial -- most end up accepting a plea deal (and we can guess how much bullying and threatening go into that). By analogy to your argument, 98% of defendants never "face justice". Or maybe better put, they never receive justice.

> Beautifully written top-notch orwellian poetry. Seriously inspiring.

yeah, that paragraph was probably the best one.

all in all i find this text really painful to read.

main issues:

- a lot of sentences feel superfluous, like time-wasting boilerplate

- poor grammar, punctuation and paragraph structure disrupt the reading flow

- there is little logical structure or flow of arguments

- there is far too much repetition

On the other side of this I remember how diffiicult it was to get through to someone at a company who had somehow left their stripe secret key exposed (along with a bunch of other config vars, including paypal secret, and google private key).

I even gave them a specific curl command to see it. After not receiving any response I finally called up customer service, and sometime (months) later they finally fixed it. (They never responded once though, and I couldn't be bothered to ask if they rotated their keys like they should have since it was such an arduous process.)
I think you get what you put in. I've had plenty of interesting, challenging conversations here. On Twitter too, although it's more work and ultimately I decided it wasn't worth it.

I agree that HN would not survive an incursion by the general public. Fortunately we're protected by being a bunch of boring nerds. Who would bother?

The boring, minimalist UI is probably our strongest moat.
Oh, I am not arguing against the state, I am just trying to maintain a more realistic view in the conversation.
At very least, tech patents really should be shortened to something like 5 years instead of being 20 years. It's nuts that the SSE2 instruction set has JUST come out of patent protection.
>I am not on social media

That's wrong. You are on social media right now.
I don't count HN as modern social media. For me, it's more akin to older phpBB boards and the like. We have no avatars, we come and go on posting, reading. We have only usernames and karma, and no one cares how much karma someone has. There's very little dopamine hit.
Just a reminder that Portugal has some of the lowest wages in Europe, minimum wage is 600 Euro/month. Strict laws to protect workers is great until there are no evil employers left to employ anyone.

What about Github, could someone comment on that? I know at some point they used to call themselves 'social coding'.

I use it quite regularly for several of my projects and dealing with issues that users raise. It has reply notifications via email. It has emojis. You can star and watch repositories. I've never used IG, FB, WA etc but I assume they have similar concepts.

The columnar implementations are cool and all, but they don't really do what you'd expect columnar storage to do—i.e. make each column independently retrievable / make each column effectively its own "single data column plus shared CTID" table for the dataset. Instead, when you fetch one column of a row from e.g. a Citus "USING columnar" table, that still bakes down to the query engine fetching the entire row-tuple for that row (and then discarding most of it), which in turn means that the columnar storage engine must read in + decompress the equivalent compressed blocks for every column participating in that row.

So, unlike in a columnar database, you still have to worry about splitting up your narrow+hot "fact" columns from your wide+cold "dimension" columns, and joining them back together later only when you need them, in order to not be polluting your page cache with the wide+cold column data.
False flags pretty much never happen irl, they are much more popular in the minds of internet commentators.
Take a look at honey. The labels are organic, natural, raw, unfiltered, pure, and such. Yet, we still get highly tainted, chemical laden yellow snot called "honey".

We would be way better off if we just sampled and tested products just before they hit the shelves.

The general public is desperate to trust something; anything. They will latch onto these meaningless words, thinking there is something behind the curtain. Alas, what is behind the curtain lacks any substance.
Surely this could be verified in a VM?

I have Copilot enabled in a single workspace and tried some unique keywords from other projects (where Copilot is not enabled) and it could not generate anything similar.
I also don't recall it. iirc the topic also came up in a tptazcek episode of "security cryptography whatever" and a handful of other places ... so I might be conflating things on who made claims when.

If it were used against their own IL citizens, would it really matter legally? As long as the parent company (NSO) can plausibly claim it had no knowledge of even the existence of a specific SLA between a foreign spinoff (e.g. FloLive, Circle etc) and their clients. If you think yourself into a position where you want to become a global player in an increasingly regulated market (embargoes, sanctions lists etc) the only way to avoid repercussions is by not knowing what other parts of your affiliates are doing.

Just because some of these shell companies have been unmasked must be annoying for NSO. But they can still say they had no idea what directors of these "independent" companies were doing.

It would be normal military tactic to compartmentalize information not just on paper but also in reality to be on a "need to know basis". So it's double baffling to me that the shell companies listed as the main investors are the same people sitting on the NSO board of directors.

sorry lots of conjecture IANAL ...
I humbly believe the answer is to allow more transparency, choice and control back to the users instead of allowing these companies to choose a greedy recommendation algorithm that ranks for 'exploit' over 'explore'.

I recently started a new twitter account with the hope of creating lists of quantum physics and some financial research individuals such as the heads of investment banks who post amazing short form content all the time.

Twitter randomly starts injecting abject nonsense in my feed from other topics such as "investing" which, okay, i get may be related, but the contents of those topics are nowhere near the level of quality that my core lists had. Absolute idiots posts content of a passive aggressive nature and raking up the likes and reshares which i had no interest to be a part of.

A few days of constantly giving feedback to the algorithm and aggressively hiding sources and topics from my feed and the quality just keeps getting worse. My mood started slipping if i wake up and have a push notification from twitter suggesting yet another tweet about some finance bro dunking on some company they hold a short position on because they can't believe it's valued above 0.

I plan on spending some time now understanding how i completely kill all recommendations and only keep follow lists of the people i explicitly follow, but that is frustrating.
I once asked here about how you would start an online business without interacting with Google, and I think that somewhat echoes the problem you've mentioned. While totally possible to do these things without social media, there is a challenge posed by the fact that the big platforms have captured the audiences you might have engaged with if they weren't already occupied.

If it weren't for those big platforms, many people would be happy to check out videos on your own website. But when YouTube is as easy as it is to consume, they're over there doing that instead. Same with photography, why would anyone go look at a photographers website when they've got endless photography to see on Instagram.

For me, I feel like the answer to running a software company without online advertising is to go local, grass roots, focus on niche problems for a handful of real world in-the-flesh clients, rather than trying to be everything to thousands of people I'll never meet.

For content creators I think the same might be applicable, say for a musician to focus on their local music scene, or an artist to find local projects to contribute to or pieces of work they can do for their community. It has the upside of building your life in the real world as well, which is hopefully more tangible and fulfilling than building up your life in an ephemeral platform that may not be here tomorrow.

He would. It is a consequence that you will also always defend unsavory speech. This hasn't changed through the ages and is often mentioned preemptively because the experience tells you how people will react. I think he would have been smarter than to jump on the bandwagon against hate speech though.

But that isn't what you mean anyway.
> However, a proposal to include the so-called "right to disconnect" - the legal right to switch off work-related messages and devices outside office hours - was rejected by Portuguese MPs.

I genuinely don’t get this. It seems completely backwards.

Surely your boss should have the right to contact you, but you should have the right not to answer until your working hours recommence?

Is Portugal deciding that the very act of sending a message creates some kind of coercive pressure to work?

If so, why did they decide against the “right to disconnect”?
You don't own the game, you own a license to play it for however long the publisher wants. Whether or not it is legal really shouldn't matter, it should just be done as a matter of course for such games.
If you're ready to pay more for an "organic" label on top of the same thing, I have a bridge to sell.
About "organic" fraud, I remember seeing a brand of cosmetics saying that their products are organic because they used carbon-based chemicals. Technically true, that's the chemical definition, but they actually used the same stuff as anyone else, including parabens. I will not comment on the safety of parabens, but generally, that's the kind of stuff people who buy organic don't want to see.

Even worse, the French translation of their websites translated "organic" to "biologique", which is correct if you are using the "no synthetic chemicals" definition, but wrong if you are using the chemical definition (that would be "organique"). Turning an ambiguity into a flat out lie.

"The idea that you can really tell, or there is any difference at all, in the meat of livestock fed organic vs. conventional is extremely far fetched."

If they tested the feed of course they would know the difference because the non-organic feed would be contaminated with pesticides/herbicides. And organic livestock is fed organic feed because of course the contaminants are reflected in the meat. This is easily verified as basic fact, though actually testing the feed or the meat is an expensive process hence the whole honor system.

This doesn't make organic a scam. Exactly the same reason you might not want an apple sprayed with a pesticide applies to eat a burger from a cow that was fed feed sprayed with the same. In many ways moreso given that these things are concentrated as you go up the food chain.

Conventional red meat can have 20X the amount of glyphosate than your apple can.

This was a failure of the certification and monitoring system. Often by design.

I don't buy organic. Too niche of a section and the risk profile seems low enough that it doesn't seem worth the attention to me. But I'm not threatened by it, as many seemingly are, and get why some people are focused on that. Years back I did subscribe to a CSA that followed organic principles not because of the organic element, but because their land use was sustainable and quite beautiful (most farms are dire factories, in essence, whereas this place was an eclectic wonderland).
When someone says that these tests are "free" with respect to availability to the public, they mean that they are free to the citizen/consumer at the point of sale. There is no out of pocket expense to get tested.
Especially if you inflicted it on them.
I’ve found the exact opposite in the groups I’m a part of. Social media can imbue you with a lot of simple opinions and constant feedback around them. People who are actually arguing are at least actively engaging with an idea (sometimes)
