It happens for sure in Italy, usually toward the end of the year there is the so called "finanziaria" (which essentially sets up - or should set up - the estimation of expenses for next year), where often completely unrelated things are added.

The "twist" is that an article there is likely to be formulated (hypothetical) more as something like:

on the third paragraph of article #x of Law #y of dd/mm/yyyy the sentence "the provision in the preceding art.x is intended to be ..." is replaced with the sentence "the provision in the preceding art.x, as modified by the #nth paragraph of Law #w, article #z, of dd/mm/yyyy is due to be ..."

Which makes it totally not understandable until you also have handy Law #y and Law #z and even then, there are probably another two or threee references to other Laws.

I know your comment is cynical, but really, an emergency rarely justifies driving while intoxicated.

If someone (or yourself) needs medical attention, call an ambulance. If somebody is in danger, call the police. If you need to go somewhere, call a taxi. If none are available you can also ask someone else to drive.

I am aware that there are some situations where there is no other option than driving yourself. But trying to justify the ability to drive intoxicated, just for that once-in-a-lifetime emergency seems selfish to me.

It’s not different. In theory recent macs are supposed to “learn” about your habits and lock charging at around 80% when you’re not going to move a while (“optimised battery charging”), but from what I’ve heard it’s not super reliable. And I’ve never seen it work properly on my iphone, whose usage is about as reliable as you could be (plus iOS has all the alarms so it knows exactly when I’m going to wake up) so I didn’t exactly have high hopes.

A more reliable solution is to manipulate pmset directly, or use something like AlDente which handles it for you (the paid version has lots of extra features but the free one suffices to avoid charging above 80% by default).

Obviously when charging time arrives you need to realise yourself and plug in somewhere between 20 and 40%.

The only annoyance is the magsafe’s LED remains amber even when the mac stops charging at 80%.

I'm pretty sure that giving birth in a vehicle pulled over at the side of the road is pretty dangerous. Ambulances exist, but are expensive in the US.

The point really wasn't that we should allow drunk drivers because wives might give birth: It was pointing out that software won't be able to tell the difference between impaired driving and fairly normal reasons for driving erratically. In other words, they won't know if you are getting a police escort to the hospital (like my parents did when my sister was born) or driving impaired.

> As far as I can tell the US is the only country on Earth where politicians are able to "bundle" completely unrelated things into a single piece of legislation.

I wish it was: this is basically routine in Italy. As an example, last month the government issued a decree, informally referred to as "capienze" (capacities), that regulates the amount of people allowed into cinemas and theatres. Sounds innocuous, right? Unfortunately it also contains an article that significantly reduced the powers of the Garante della Privacy (the italian privacy watchdog).

And this is not limited to the government, the parliament also loves to sneaks unrelated and controverial stuff into ordinary laws. This usually happens early in the summer or late friday evenings, when most MP are absent.

It isn't reported because it takes more explanation than the media likes to give, and direct COVID-19 death counts are less complicated, not because “there is none” which is just false:

It'd be interesting to see if it's possible to gather the data you'd need to be able to automatically trace the spread of memes like this. If you can identify the provenance, and the network of groups and people used to propagate these ideas, it could be possible to effectively counter them at scale.

The trouble I see is that ad tech is politically, morally, and ethically agnostic, and so awesomely powerful tools for mass distribution of memes are made available to anyone that can pay. There's an arms race between transparency and placement, between freedom of speech and mass manipulation.

Qanon made expert use of social media and ad tech, and successfully scrambled the brains of tens of millions of people who shouldn't have been made vulnerable. Similar spheres of influence and control exist around all of the major social and legacy media institutions, from Facebook to CNN to Sinclair media. These abstract clusters of humanity are subjected to information siloing and controlled exposure to memes.

In most cases, there's an institutional algorithm at play, without a person or cabal explicitly in charge, so the marketing and advertising professionals responsible for the skillful deployment of any given idea never feel any sense of culpability for the side effects. Reddit and its use by the dnc , or Facebook by the rnc shows the effects of political power augmented by optimized attention capture.

"Carbon footprint" and personal recycling are seemingly simple concepts, but they're almost fractal in their interactions with our psychology . Information about the facts of what's happening in the world is blasted out, available for anyone in the world, but through the use of platforms and attention capture, we're subtly nudged into interpretations and narratives intended to deflect accountability.

The idea of media bubbles seems to be another example of corporate diversion, implying people are responsible for how they're being manipulated. Maybe FAANG shouldn't be enabling the manipulation and escalating the use of attention capture tools.

The fundamental issue seems to be private data harvesting and allowing targeted advertisement. That's the information that allows manipulation to be scaled, and abused at scale.

The only solutions I see are either escalating an arms race between automated personal curation and institutional ad tech, or correctly limiting the use and collection of private data through legislation. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be able to escape their bubbles through better tools and behaviors, so we need laws that are going to radically disrupt the status quo of big tech.
What does it mean to be an hegemony on your terms? Economically China being number one is just a matter of time, military I wouldn't count on them stopping short before US. Good luck trying to convince +1B people being fed government propaganda that they're not entitled to everything when they keep pushing 2 digits growth every year for 30 years.

You're also missing the long game of China. Probably on our lifetimes the economic focus of the world is going to move to Asia and Africa based on opportunity of growth and demographics, looking from this perspective why would they care about conquering the west when they can just position themselves very well for the long term and have a nice view watching the decline of the west society?

Interesting. Basically the argument is as follows:

Conventional operating systems are multi-user: one user shares all their files with all their apps, but effort is put into protecting one user from another. This then gets breached all the time (escalation of privilege), and fails to capture the problem that attacks come from applications.

Unikernel/cloud systems are "zero-user": we have something that might be called a "process" in a traditional operating system, but instead of lots of fallible fine grained security boundaries we have only one, the hardware virtualization. The "process" runs directly below the hypervisor and interacts with "virtual hardware", predominantly with other networked services.

That raises the question - how is the hardware virtualization for these systems handled and secured? Do you get a virtual PCI bridge to a virtual network card?
I don't have much experience with the latest and greatest, and it surely depends on the types of workloads you plan to put on them.

I noticed how deep in bullshit territory Western society is when talking to people from former communist Eastern Germany (until maybe the early 2000s), a place where self-promotion wasn't a thing, where nothing could be gained by bullshitting.

People would just plain state a realistic state of their affairs, like that they're unemployed, whereas I thought "dude you just moved here 2 weeks ago and you'll find work in no time, don't put yourself down like that". It was really eye-opening how much self-promotion is going on even among the most humble people.

Why doesn't the same argument apply to other corono-viruses like influenza and the common cold? And why ignore the role of asymptomatic people (who can transmit) and those with symptoms so mild they can't be distinguished from the normal ups and downs of bodily functions. How then can one be 'smart'? These diseases wouldn't be and won't be gone. We are going to have to live with them as we've lived and thrived with untold thousands of viruses throughout our evolutionary journey.
That is a rational argument. But it is not the only one. There are trade-offs and rational people can disagree.

There is a point at which people cannot be made to do things. That point is not fixed and depends on a lot of things (obviously).

> Any hardware adder provides almost for free the overflow detection output (at less than the cost of an extra bit, so less than 1/64 of a 64-bit adder).
So anyone who thinks about an efficient hardware implementation would expose the overflow bit to the software.

Ah, but where you do put that bit that you got for free?

A condition codes register, global to the processor / core state? That worked terrific for single-issue microcontrollers back in the 1980's. Now you need register renaming, and all the expensive logic around that to track which overflow bit is following which previous add operation. That's what's being done now for old ISAs, and it generally disliked for several reasons (complexity being chief among them).

Well, you could stuff that bit into another general purpose register, but then you kind of want to specify 4 registers for the add command. Now where are the bits to encode a 4th register in a new instruction format. RISC-V has room to grow for extensions, but another 5 bits for another register is a big ask.
If you're serious about watching movies you probably have some kind of (surround) receiver already, most of which have settings to tone down the dynamic range a bit (on my Denon it's called 'dynamic volume', acts the same as a compressor)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm : Coase (1937)

"The traditional economic theory of the time suggested that, because the market is "efficient" (that is, those who are best at providing each good or service most cheaply are already doing so), it should always be cheaper to contract out than to hire.

Coase noted, however, that there are a number of transaction costs to using the market; the cost of obtaining a good or service via the market is actually more than just the price of the good. Other costs, including search and information costs, bargaining costs, keeping trade secrets, and policing and enforcement costs, can all potentially add to the cost of procuring something via the market. This suggests that firms will arise when they can arrange to produce what they need internally, and somehow avoid these costs."

https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0109077 : Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm, Benkler (2001)

"Specifically, I suggest that nonproprietary peer-production of information and cultural materials will likely be a ubiquitous phenomenon in a pervasively networked society. I describe a number of such enterprises, at various stages of the information production value chain."

(OK, so that's just a couple of quotes and I haven't advanced a thesis, but the thesis is "yes, possibly, provided the market costs can be addressed", and it looks like the article highlights that the search costs for developers are incredibly high. Defi or not.)
Optimally, password authentication would be hardware protected. Meaning, for instance, there was a dedicated LED on your system that you'd need root rights to toggle, and any password request thrown up would need to light up that LED to indicate that it's the actual dialog, rather than a fake. - A similar, less invasive solution could be randomizing the password dialog background color when your user account is set up.

Now, given we don't do any of that shit, it's trivially easy to hijack a root/ssh key password request by just faking the dialog. In that sense, you may as well go passwordless. However, IMO going passwordless is tantamount to admitting not just that our security sucks, but that our security is going to suck forever. Seems kind of defeatist.
