I don’t think arguing both parties are corrupt disarms us. Instead, I see it as a rallying cry to either upend the system or to work outside of it.

Some examples of political action (that work!) outside of the party system:

- participating in a climate strike

- unionizing your workplace

- voting for local candidates that aren’t tied to the 2 party system

- voting for candidates that the mainstream (ie: rich donors) of the party largely reject.

I hear what you’re saying that it sounds cynical on a surface level, maybe we need to do better on the messaging for what actions to take _after_ you’ve decided everyone in power is beholden to capital.
Of course people like you believe that. You’re proving the point.

Please, define CRT for me. Please explain how the founding fathers who didn’t give black peoples or women much if any rights, did not then view the world and base what they did on that thinking.

Unfortunately this proves the point. People like you largely want the status quo to remain. Sometimes people will even, without a shred of awareness or irony, quote MLK while espousing this stuff.

At the very least this is a direct violation of the GDPR in Europe, which could be fined with up to 4% of the annual global turnover.
It was only when upload to iCloud was enabled which is functionally equivalent to a check on server (and enables future roll out of encrypted content on the sever).

The CSAM issue was mostly misunderstood by HN imo.
This is astonishing.

> We determined that the issue was being caused by unintended interaction between the Microsoft Teams app and the underlying Android operating system.

As someone whose organizational policy signs my Teams client out after a couple hours of inactivity, I would love to know how on earth this is possible. I truly am at a loss, and I am furious at the thought that I have been unable to dial 911 for who knows how long.

At least I know the ten digit number for my local emergency services, but the average person probably doesn't. This is unacceptable.
"People" also think Apple laptops are stupid and overpriced. HN is not a homogeneous group with a single opinion on every topic, so such "gotcha" arguments make little sense.
Mind you, you sound 100% like someone who do not care about others.

But your decision to not take flu shots sounds totally reasonable given you apparently get a bad adverse reaction every time.

You therefore belong to that group of people whose health is too weak to get vaccinated, I guess.

I hope you won't catch the flu, and will keep getting vaccinated whenever I get the chance since I'm lucky enough that I've never felt any illness from any vaccine (but got flu once and had to stay in bed, half unconscious, for almost a day).
>a country that prevents its citizens from recording a song...

False analogy. No-one claims copy-write on the physical world. Well, not except the CCP.
I started with Flutter and Dart against the HN popular opinion and it has been great so far, not that I have fully deployed anything yet though. The most annoying thing is most content relating to dart and flutter is on Medium.
You will find it useful if you crashed 1 in a month and realize turn the memory frequency down for a bit fixed it forever.(Technically I am still guessing, without ecc, you can't get the answer) Seriously, the hardware should be able to determine whether the configuration is safe or not instead of by randomly guessing yourself. Even the memory labeled as work as 3200, it isn't necessary the case when you actually use it.
This is a pile of horseshit not even worth refuting in detail.

The irony is the CSAM measures they were doing may have enabled them to encrypt the iCloud iMessage backups since they’d still be able to help the feds with CSAM.

Instead everything remains unencrypted.

> criminal organization - which is separate from, and unauthorized by, the established state

When the government of an established state violates human rights and international law (like the Geneva Convention), I don't think it's incorrect to call that government a criminal organization.
When shit like this happens, I just always think "I don't understand finance at all and never will."

I read the company's primary blog blog post, https://buf.build/blog/api-design-is-stuck-in-the-past, about "schema driven development" and agree with a lot of it. Which is why I'm a huge fan of GraphQL and related completely free open source libraries, where I define my API endpoints with a strongly typed yet easily evolvable schema, and auto-generate my Typescript types from my GraphQL definitions.

$93 million dollars is just nuts to me.

Seems like yet another lesson from Clay Shirky's "A Group is its own Worst Enemy"[1]. From the talk/essay:

It’s obvious that there are no groups without members. But what’s less obvious is that there are no members without a group — because what would you be a member of?

So there’s this very complicated moment of a group coming together, where enough individuals, for whatever reason, sort of agree that something worthwhile is happening, and the decision they make at that moment is “This is good and must be protected.” And at that moment, even if it’s subconscious, you start getting group effects.

> Put another way: “We” didn’t think anything. There is no such thing as a group changing its mind because a group doesn’t have a mind.

I mean yeah, but I don't think that's what the author meant. They seem to be saying that groups don't admit failure, not that admitting failure is a definitional impossibility. It's like going, "jellyfish NEVER breastfeed their babies."

I thought this would be about a bigger and more obvious problem with web3, namely that by default all traffic going through MetaMask runs through Infura and hence through Consensys's servers. If you think you're getting privacy or resilience because you're interacting with a DApp, think again. All your transactions are going through a single organization, which might have logs linking the IP, your ETH address, the smart contract address, and timestamp, and if it goes down web3 won't work for a significant number of users. [It is possible to configure MetaMask to use a different gateway, but how many users fiddle with the defaults or even know what a web3 gateway is?]

Ethereum as a whole and the raw smart contracts of most DApps actually are decentralized, but there are SPOFs in the UI, name service, and transaction gateway. If you aren't willing to run your own geth instance and understand Solidity/EVM, it's not really decentralized for you.

TBH not really. I've talked to the founder a few times. He doesn't want to put his name on things, as he's kind of a private person and really wants to direct the spotlight at his employees. But he's just an engineer who has spent a lot of time working with Protobufs, not a sales person at all.

(Disclosure: I was the maintainer of Protobuf who put together the first open source release at Google, and I made a small investment in buf early on.)
>Buy stock and benefit (or take a loss) with them.

Buy stocks, and explain to your children why they won't get to eat for the year to come.

It will pay off in the long run!

And if they starve to death, well, that's savings right there!

.... You do realize that millions — if not most people under 40 in the US — don't have spare money to invest into papers that they can't eat today, do you?

Rent, food, transportation, medical expenses, educational expenses, and a small amount of spending on something that makes that life feel like it's maybe worth living — and oops, there goes the paycheck.

Funny how the rent is larger than mortgage, but you can't get a mortgage unless you save money, but you can't save money because you have rent to pay.

And everyone who's working to make a living is one car accident away from a medical bankruptcy. A fun lottery nearly all of us get to play, funny that.

>Vote for such government

Yay, I voted, and FPTP ensured that meant nothing. I voted for ranked choice, but peculiarly, the vote for that was based on the same system that I was trying to replace.

>or immigrate to a socialists country, Venezuela or North Korea. They have the lot of jobs.

False dichotomy much?

And these are the only two countries in the world with universal healthcare and government providing housing and services to its citizens, I guess? Not Sweden, no? Not even the UK, or any EU country? Oh wait, nobody is waiting for me there.

But more importantly, what basis do you have for telling people what to do?

Especially when you tell someone to move to another country. How about... No.

What the parent commenter is doing, and what I'll do, is we'll be damn sure to talk about what the government should do in all public forums whenever the opportunity presents itself, to raise the awareness ans steer the public discourse in the direction we want our country to move into, rather than shutting up and moving if our vote gives us nothing this election cycle.

And we'll make it obviously, blatantly clear that opinions like the one you presented — ”vote or leave" — are rubbish.

Bad faith rubbish that doesn't belong on HN.

So I'll ask you to stop. My basis for that are the guidelines of this forum. We could do with less trash here.

For the record, Kotlin was open sourced Feb. 13th, 2012 [1]. Swift was open sourced Dec. 3rd, 2015 [2]. So while the first commits happened just a few months apart [3, 4] and these languages may have shared similar influences, Kotlin predates Swift by almost four years in the open. Perhaps their ideas simply were in the air ten years ago, but I think it would be unfair to insinuate that either language was in a "rush to whatever trendy development exists in language design".

Machines run by people who should damn well know better.
It is depressing how people pretend that it is the same virus every time.

Israel has faced waves of 3 different viruses - original, Alpha and Delta what have required different level of immunization and Israel has managed to vaccinate itself out of 2 of these waves.

Looks quite impressive to me.

I also fail to understand why people pretend that 2 doses should be expected to stop Delta that has higher viral load - it does not make any sense.

It is a probabilistic game - antibodies are not smart - they are like mines - you need to have high enough concentration to stop viral particles to move around. If the viral particles can overload this concentration - they are going to win. There obviously must be some threshold of antibody concentration below what you can't avoid infection - when 2 dose regimen reaches it too quickly, well, game over. 3rd dose regimen is known to boost antibody concentration and keep it high for longer time. There is no surprise here and yet even people in position (like WHO) that should know better have intentionally ignored it.
I think i agree with what you are saying but only to an extent. After enough liberty has been removed your democracy falls apart. I think this law crosses the line of what's acceptable in a democratic state. Also, I meant that the American definition is that democracy and liberty are not different things.
Like I said, I think it is pretty objectively bad if a 3Ghz computer can't keep up with basic user input. I don't think that's a crazy high bar.

One feature I would absolutely kill for is a setting that lets you hide issues and PRs from bot users in the global search.

I've been lucky enough to have a few projects that others have found useful, and so they've ended up in Conda forge, Gentoo, and other package repos. After I make a release, the Github-wide search is just absolutely flooded with dependabot PRs, Snyk PRs, and dozens of other bots. Literally thousands (and sometimes tens of thousands for CVEs) of automated PRs and issues that make it impossible for me to see how others are using or discussing my packages (usually to see if I've just horribly broken something).

IMO while Microsoft and Google should work together to solve this as soon as possible, the longer term solution should not involve Microsoft. This sounds like something Google should fix at their end.

No customization done by the user, including installation of apps should prevent a user from being able to call 911, period.
The world as a whole never will. If Western powers try and sanction non compliant countries this will effectively split the world into 2 parts and it is not going to end well. I think this would be total disaster.
I wish I could use it in more places. It checks most of my boxes and I feel reasonably proficient in it, so I would love if I could it in place of say C# on Windows or in place of C++ or Rust for cross platform desktop development.

Swift is also the bulk of what I write for my day job, and it's always nice to not have to allocate mental resources to the differences between languages when trying to work on personal projects in one's off-time. It's so nice to just sit down and just start writing code without having to spend a ton of time googling "how to do X in Y language".
Hehe. Don't some tubas have a 4th valve too, which I guess could be -4.

Edit: I looked it up, they're -5. With that you could play all the way down to the fundamental, and far below!
As a crypto and web3 fan I actually agree with the article but not with the title.

To me decentralization is a value. It's a goal, and yes, a goal that almost every web3 project falls short of in some way. But I think values are important. Values play a huge part in guiding human behavior. And the human side of web3 is MASSIVELY underrated in my opinion.

I don't think people realize that we can shape web3 by building up the right culture around it. By teaching people what things they should look out for. Because without that, they'll just be drawn in by blind profits and screwed over because we didn't tell them how to think about web3.

To a certain extent web3 critics are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. They are simultaneously criticizing web3 for valuing decentralization while also criticizing web3 for not being decentralized enough. It creates apathy around decentralization and other web3 ideas.

I think web3 critics would serve people better not by criticizing web3 but instead criticizing projects for not being web3 enough. What I don't think people on HN or Twitter understand is that right now web3 is a foundation. We can build technology and culture around it to help people.
One part of the equation is that a shit-ton amount of memory modules are, in fact, overclocked (e.g. do you think your DDR4-4800 runs at nominal speed?). That surely contributes to memory being faulty.
That's one way to look at it. Another is that it's a clever budgeting strategy that outsources all the expensive R&D and production costs to their biggest ally.

Israel took and continues to take billions of dollars of funding from the US to develop its military so a completely baffling example to cite.

I think you made a colossal error in long-term judgement.

That's what work is. Making money to live on. Everyone has to figure out a way to earn their bread. If you can earn a large pile in a 2-10 year burst of effort, hopefully not at unsustainable, perpetual crash program-effort, that's great. If not, feel free to work as long as you can until you can't. There is no reward or award for hard work, only captured value of results.

I tried the whole "purity in obscurity" vanlife thing. You still need money to live, and living comfortably is much better than cutting off your nose to spite your face in obscene austerity.

I forfeited $6 megabucks and regret it because it only required enduring a thick-headed buffoon for a few years.

PC Network booting these days is usually PXE booting.

You can do it with BIOS or UEFI styles, but I've only had success with the BIOS version. I setup my PXE boot setup over a long time, so I don't have a guide, but here's my idea of the steps the boot process takes.

a) (if enabled and selected for booting) the system firmware jumps to the Option ROM on your NIC to boot. These days, almost all cards have a PXE rom, but if you have an ancient card, it probably has a socket fot a boot rom. Getting that setup is possible but outside my scope.

b) the boot rom includes a driver for the NIC and usually Intel's PXE software; either way it will do a DHCP (or sometimes BOOTP) request and ask for a 'next server' and indicate the platform (x86 bios, x86 uefi, amd64 bios, amd64 uefi, sparc variations, etc, etc). The DHCP server will assign an IP and all that junk, but also provide a pointer to the next server (and a path), used to fetch more code to run.

c) next server is traditionally a TFTP server, and the path may be client or platform specific. More modern pxe stacks can do http(s), usually at higher performance

d) I find it easiest to have next server point at pxelinux, part of syslinux that offers a nice menu system and http(s) support that's usually a lot faster than tftp

e) from the menu, you can often selection options that will load a kernel and modules and boot with a command line; in the boot process, usually all the pxe stuff is terminated or discarded.

f) You can also load disk images (floppy, hard drive, iso) and boot from them using memdisk from syslinux. This comes with some caveats; MEMDISK is BIOS only, it hooks the (defacto) standard BIOS disk calls to provide access and doesn't have a UEFI equivalent (AFAIK, corrections welcome), but also if you use an OS that doesn't use BIOS disk access (most protected mode OSes), it needs to support MEMDISK or you can't access the images. This means only some Linux images work, although recent images often do. I've made a patch for FreeBSD, but it's been in review for a long time. Older FreeBSD setup images worked because the setup filesystem was a disk image loaded from the disc by the bootloader, you'd need enough memory to have the cd disc image loaded by memdisk and the setup filesystem loaded by the bootloader and enough left to run the installer, but it's not too bad on today's machines.

So, TLDR, you need to fiddle with your dhcp server, setup a tftp server, copy some files for a bootmenu and/or something to boot. And finally, tweak the boot settings on your netbooting device.

Useful things I've done with this include booting Debian installers, using weird 3rd party software to install windows XP, booting FreeBSD installers with my patch, running disk firmware updates packaged as linux isos (intel), and most fun, running my hobby OS without having to setup a bootdisk (it's multiboot compatible, so pxelinux can boot it easily)
This is the best argument against a public health system. Once you turn it over, the government controls far more of your life than you bargained for. I suppose some people are OK with that. However, history is cold comfort to those of us who are skeptical.

There are plenty of existing words whose use wouldn't be wrong and that are widely accepted.

I mean, if you mean to say the US looks more like a less-developed country than a developed one, you could use exactly those words, that are currently in wide use, and have been in use since the geopolitical first/second/third-world model was current and relevant, for relative economic development levels.
