"Retina" LCDs and high quality earbuds have turned the internet into a "hot" medium, which causes recipients to believe the messages they are receiving. This puts society in a different position than previously when broadcast analog video was the prime media, and its noise and low definition made messages less believable and encouraged skepticism. TV was a "cold" medium. The hot internet is more like the hot broadcast radio and wired audio of the '20s and '30s during the rise of the great totalitarian regimes.
Motte and Bailey is shifting positions on the same issue. Regulating abortion but not corporations isn’t motte and bailey, it just reflects an ideology where some things are more appropriate for government intervention than others. Liberals are the same way—they talk a lot about “freedom” when it comes to sex, but not so much when it comes to participating in the economy. Neither party claims to be about “freedom” for its own sake as the highest value—that’s libertarians.

Put your prices up to make sure you are making enough money.

Inflation rates only measure the cheapest of something, they never measure the change in quality so dont be scared to put your prices up.
The worst that can happen is you cant sell a product because customers dont need said product/service and/or dont feel there is value for money, but economists would say thats the markets speaking. It depends on whether you want to work for pittance or not. Good gamblers know when to leave the table.

> The car driver probably has been a pedestrian from time to time so....

That seems to be the key here. It's easy for people to say "always the driver's fault" when they never drive themselves, instead paying Other People to do all the driving - FAANG shuttles, various delivery trucks, Uber if necessary - that sustains their lifestyle. In reality, safety in a shared space is a shared responsibility.
Behave: The Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky is definitely one of the best books of the decade, though I'm not sure I'd call it entertainment. Regardless, I'll enthusiastically second your recommendation of it.

I will say I am glad you did this -- and practiced restraint. It is a nice modern update without overdoing it.
And I imagine the "recovery tokens" part being abstracted away. There will be a bunch of apps that work this, and there's no reason it couldn't be as simple as checking a few boxes to select the people you want to be able to help you with recovery, with some default rules that you can change.
Thanks for posting this. I think a lot of people are hyperfocusing on some of your wording, but this post was very informative.

The engineering of the X1 Carbon is amazing. Durability is a design goal, it even has channels for directing liquid ingress away from the most vulnerable parts. Whilst not a guarantee against failures, it certainly doesn't hurt!

My own OG X1 Carbon (i7/8/256) still works today, and, amazingly, receives firmware updates. It is 9 years old.

False. Did you see the part I said it already don’t serve all areas?

Compared to what and by what metric? You can’t opt out of physical spam, would you call it a public good (what does that mean?) if you couldn’t stop spam?

> If there were possible to talk about the American postal service non-ideologically, it would be a cinch to regulate away most junk mail, I imagine.

So you’re advocating for privatizing them?

> Political oversight has in recent decades demanded the USPS be profitable, which misses its point.

What is the point? It’s been talked about as a terrible monopoly for decades. It wasn’t profitable before they asked it to stop squandering money.
Oops! I should have checked that.
Prior to COVID-19, there were protests going on in 16 different countries. Fast forward to today, there are still protests going on globally [1]. The US has printed more money in the past 2 years than ever before [2]. At least half the country believes an election was "stolen" [3]. Ghislaine Maxwell is on trial while being linked to some of the most powerful people in the world [4].

Whether or not you agree with the different thoughts people have about any of these things, I think it's possible that there's in fact a movement into Bitcoin borne out of more than just "greed," but instead, fear and hedging.

I agree that there are a lot of horrible shit coin projects out there, but there are also several blockchain projects utilizing the new technology for its intrinsic value of decentralization and what that affords.

Hillary Clinton seems to believe that cryptocurrencies are about nation state vs the next social mechanism [5]. It's likely true, and that change is being brought forth by blockchain. Books changed the world. Churches changed the world. Radio and TVs changed the world. The Internet began to decentralize it... and blockchain is finishing the job.

It must be confusing for those in the West to see vaccine hesitancy in poor countries. But those countries have often been used for ethically questionable vaccine drives in the past, introducing things like HIV. Danish documentary maker Mads Brugger made an amazing documentary about the role that MI5 and the CIA had in spreading and cultivating diseases in Africa amongst black people to support the white supremacist movement. Turns out the same people killed the head of the UN. https://youtu.be/WUXnH-USX-I

Citation needed. Traffic laws vary widely based on the jurisdiction.

No, if you hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk and they have the green, the driver would be at fault in a jurisdiction like NYC.
I wish.

The implementations for these have some... complications, the device sets we now deal with are huge, and making sure there are no idiosyncratic bugs that creep up when using them is legitimately a fair bit of work.
Trust in the real world can't be automated unfortunately.
Doesn’t that open up a chance of lawsuits with all your other employers?
The protected left should be the middle yellow with an associated cutout for the left arrow inside the light, with the normal through yellow turning on both the green and yellow left turn arrow, but likely way too many years of convention to make the change.
They're different things.

the parent comment is describing a scenario in which

straight (including pedestrians have green) -> straight gets red -> left gets green.

in NYC's LPIs, this is

all directions have red -> pedestrians get green -> straight + left get green with pedestrians
> You see the problem. My C++ code expected the calling convention that pushed arguments on the stack,

that would be very weird on Linux. The x86_64 linux ABI mandates that the first arguments go on registers afaik (I'm assuming x86_64 here since the post mentions linux distros which are overwhelmingly x64). What compiler would default to a pure stack-based calling convention ? Certainly not GCC or clang, no ?

> and the kernel expected my code to pass arguments in the registers.

so, how is that a problem with C++ and not the compiler defaults ?

> I found the real gold mine of C++ kernel module development knowledge in OSDev.org. They have an entire article on C++ issues. That includes avoiding templates

bullshit it is then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_saS93Clgk

if templates are good (sometimes better even) on AVR microcontrollers with memory in kilobytes, there's no reason to not use them in a kernel meant to run on large embedded.

Also what's that rant about strings for ? In the end there is zero substance to this article, only very strange rants.
Thanks for sharing this! I've been struggling with time tracking, I use a phone app but it doesn't really fit my habits anymore, especially now that I'm doing work on desktop and not mobile. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for!
My understanding was that wires were quite difficult to reverse, and it's ACH transfers that can be reversed.

Regardless, the reversibility aspect has both positives and negatives. It does allow you to reverse transactions, but with the added complexity of the transaction not really settling until after that reversibility period passes. If I receive a crypto transfer (ex: a stablecoin), I can know that the money is actually mine within a few minutes, and can't be taken back. There are major benefits to that.
But in 10 years or so, 4TB won't be a lot of data. It's also not really now. My NAS has about 85 now.

Intel making Apple chips would have been a disaster, I think for both companies. Intel walked into disaster other ways, but this chip crunch is showing (alas, perhaps) some of the chipmaking rush to the bottom has not been sustainable. RPi and Rpi alone seems to define the competition to intel low end, still. AMD in particular has notably vanished from almost all byt higher ends of the PC market, has dropped their lower margin low end efforts. Fewer & fewer have been able to compete except at higher margin higher end profit points.

Fastly does not have a production-ready JavaScript product. From their blog post,

> Their tests compare JavaScript running on Cloudflare Workers, a mature, generally available product, with JavaScript running on Compute@Edge. Although the Compute@Edge platform is now available for all in production, support for JavaScript on Compute@Edge is a beta product. We clearly identify in our documentation [2] that beta products are not ready for production use. A fairer test on this point would have compared Rust on Compute@Edge with JavaScript on Cloudflare Workers, which are at more comparable stages of the product lifecycle.

Restricting any comparison isn't satisfactory since we care about both the supported languages and performance. Let there be writeups about both and allow users to make up our own minds.

I think the Cloudflare article [2] could be amended to refer to the compared product as "Fastly's JavaScript on Compute@Edge" and all would be fine. Fastly will probably still say they advise against this comparison since it's "beta". Nonetheless, we should all feel free to compare publicly available products and write about them.

I appreciate this reply, and hope the initial engineer gets no flak for his personal opinions attempting to defend your company. It's nice to see a tech company with employees defending it and leadership making such public statements as this.
Heh, didn't even notice. Oh well.
> I really wonder about the feasability of keeping onion service IPs globally secret. It may not be possible. I would certainly not stake my freedom on it.

Me either. KAX17 is visible. There are exceptionally well-resourced organizations with I think the motivation to unmask a seemingly target-rich collection of users, and the money and skill to simply infiltrate most relays, probably without being noticed.

I also wouldn't stake my freedom on it because it is simple to detect that you are using Tor, and that puts you in a tiny group, one that is (again) seemingly target-rich.
The keyboard replacement was the biggest improvement to me in the latest MacBooks.

I'm not an Apple person but I do like to keep tabs. Tried the butterfly keyboard and hated it so, so much - and that's not even touching on the function key row.

This isn't about transactions or being able to see where you're logged in from.

This is about having a public, centralized source of identities that cannot be erased.

Yes, you can have multiple identities on it - but if an identity on that chain is doxed, it is forever doxed.

If you are maintaining one identity per application... then what is the advantage of having the identity in a place where it can be accessed by multiple applications?

I have difficulty seeing the advantage of a public, append only, identity provider compared to say... setting up your own auth server on AWS and managing your identities out of there.
> (1) has no I/O functions

Input: User identity, money.

Output: Digital services, site subscriptions, digital assets, in-game items, NFT's representing real world assets held by trusted companies (wine, event tickets, tokenized securities).

None of this requires oracles and exists today.

Your mistake is thinking that just because the base layer is decentralised that we're somehow not allowed to connect to companies we choose to trust, just like we all already do.

Then it becomes interesting because there's a programmable market for these assets/services that didn't previously exist because the underlying value was not represented in an exchangable form. The outputs are also inputs.

Ethereum is the trustless, standardised substrate on which trusting parties can interact.

HackerNews will continue to fail to see the utility of this system for years to come until it's mature and undeniable. It will be an interesting case study into how experts missed the potential of emergent technology in the same way we look back on yesterday's commentators not realising the disruption of Amazon or the internet.

As to your second point, it's unlikely the end user will ever want to transact on layer 1. Layer 2 technology is making steady progress. See l2beat.com for examples.

I mean, no, but they do let you sign in with a non Gmail address. (My @microsoft.com is a consumer Google account. Same way my @gmail personal email is a consumer Microsoft account.)

Means of contact end up being a pretty useful way of organizing identities (phone numbers have their issues) and having ways to fix mistakes. The one thing I haven't seen solved in web3 is communication to a user. Easy enough to encrypt messages in ipfs though, I suppose.
I'm not sure why other streaming services don't copy this. Like, yeah, it'll obviously be a knockoff, but I only feel left out that I can't see/post my stats - not that it doesn't match everybody else's. I've used spotify, apple music, and now Tidal, and none of them have anything similar
Same here in New Zealand too. Cloudflare peers only with certain ISPs. The ones they don't peer with sees some traffic (e.g. sites on free plans) routed to offshore Cloudflare POPs around the world instead of local Cloudflare POPs. I understand if the website is on a paid plan they will be more likely to route to a local POP (incurring more costs in doing so).

Is swelling a “normal” failure mode for Li-ion batteries?
My 3 year old Macbook Pro has a swelling battery, and the Genius Bar rep said:

1) It should not be powered on any more because it could catch fire

2) This is a normal way for Li-ion batteries to fail

3) Because it's normal, they will charge $200 to replace the battery (since the machine is no longer under AppleCare), and presumably because of the fact that to replace the battery they have to replace the entire top panel, keyboard, and touchpad)

What I'm curious about is: do we feel that it's "normal" for Li-ion batteries to fail by swelling and then becoming fire hazards (more than they are normally), or are batteries that fail this way defective?

I don't think I've seen many intersections with red arrows unless there is a dedicated turn lane, where green yellow and red are all arrows. If it's a right turn in a right on red jurisdiction, without a sign expressing no right on red, why would red arrow be different than red circle?

The System V i386 ABI passes parameters through the stack. Perhaps that is what the author is referring to, although I wouldn't be surprised if he mixed it up with the x64 ABI.

Yes, maintainability, ease of porting code, and ease of hiring knowledgeable workers do matter, and so does performance.

I hope Fastly stops calling things "cold starts" that aren't [1].

And, I think Cloudflare could do a quick find-and-replace on that article [2] to change "Fastly’s Compute@Edge" to "Fastly’s JavaScript on Compute@Edge". A phone call between friendly CEOs probably would have sufficed for that.

We all want to be on the same page when making these comparisons. Some may choose Fastly and write in Rust, some will choose Cloudflare and write in JavaScript.
