The judgement relied (in part) on the Diplomatic Note (No. 169), in which the US stated;

> "The United States has provided assurances to the United Kingdom in connection with extradition requests countless times in the past. In all of these situations, the United States has fulfilled the assurances it provided."

Are you saying this is false? What track record of breaking assurances are you referring to?
I love how HN is extremely skeptical towards Oracle.
I'm not sure that is legal either. You can charge for some product or service but, unless you are a licensed bank, you can't lend out money and charge for overdraft, which is basically something they're doing here.

And even a bank can only do it against accounts open in that bank.
If you want productive discussions that you need to enter them in a good faith.

Building an argument based on personal anecdotes and applying it to national policy not good faith. Science literally exists to limit subjective bias and to separate actual trends in reality from notions in your head, subjective experience basically worthless for understanding large-scale trends.
Per this post, the core team has been overtly hostile to something as simple as maintaining an accurate, publicly-available list of Rust teams and working groups (which would include acknowledging alumni who are not actively contributing to the project). That's toxic behavior which is actively impeding people who might want to work on Rust. There's more to toxicity than "standard issue misogyny, racist comments" and the like.

Not really. Borland could have issued attractive stock based retention packages to the employees they wanted to keep, and forced Microsoft to acquire the company or go away.

This was on Borland for not adequately valuing their staff.

You don't pay for the framework though?

If you're thinking of TailwindUI, that's a separate product that's just a bunch of premade components built with Tailwind. You don't have to pay anything if you're just using Tailwind to write CSS, which is all I want it for.
I remember I started getting a bunch of emails from an "Embarcadero." I didn't remember subscribing, and the unsubscribe didn't work, so I just wrote a filter to skip the inbox and send them all to spam. I must have subscribed to something from Borland at some point.
This is an impressive piece of work. It’s not a complete breakthrough like AlphaFold was for protein folding, but it’s a major step in a field that has been arguably rather stagnant. There were previous attempts at this (machine-learned density functionals), but none really challenged the existing methods until now. I strongly believe that it’s just the beginning of machine learning for electronic structure calculations.
After traveling the world a bunch, I've learned that you can travel almost anywhere in the world and not know the language at all, and still get along fine. If you make a genuine effort to be a kind respectful guest/traveler, people all over the world will go out of their way to help you. All the core needs can be expressed universally by humans. A little money and small gifts of course helps to repay kindnesses.

Are you sure? When I used to watch Battlebots on Discovery channel it was basically 6 minutes of action wrapped in 10 minutes of fluff and 15 minutes of ads. Discovery Magazine had 3 sections per half-hour; comparatively speaking any science channel in YT will have way more content, and a lot of it really good for specialized audiences. Travel YT are way more up-to-date and useful than TV travel documentaries used to be.

There's a ton of really good Youtube channels, and the level of information density is astounding.
I signed a few months ago and overall the experience have been positive. Initially there was an issue with the availability of the A1 instances (Switzerland North) but after a few trials I managed to grab one. You also get some free credit to spend during the first month ($300 I believe) so I was running with 32 vCPUs, 128GB ram, and 32Gbps network. I have now downscaled to the free tier.

I was a bit disappointed with the selection of operating systems but fortunately you can upload your own image (QCOW2) and create an instance from it (I'm running Alpine now). You can even upload your VMs directly from VirtualBox but I haven't tried that (right click -> Export to OCI).

Getting IPv6 working was a bit of a hassle because it's not enabled by default and you need to make changes in multiple places [0] but it works fine now. There's a good enough Cost Analysis section where you can see your current usage broken down to days and you can create alerts based on that. Overall I find the Administration Console to be more pleasant than Amazon's but still miles behind Scaleway's.

Or, you know, her story just makes absolutely no sense and is clearly non-factual. And if it were real she should be telling her story to a judge, not to Twitter.

The assumption that anything a(n attractive) woman says is true is the real "rampant and unfortunate gender bias", to be honest. And yet somehow they never seem to be penalized even when they admit filing false reports, defamation, etc.
> buy up and chase away people

i.e. make them an offer to buy their property which they, of their own choice, accept.

> If you zoned more places to be walkable and lowered rent for the kinds of places people wanted to walk to you wouldn’t have to cram people into a few desirable places.

I'm unclear on what your point is now. Lowering the rent means allowing supply to respond to demand (since we don't set market rent by fiat), i.e. allowing developers to make offers to buy parcels and upgrade them to higher density. Are you for this or not?
Well done, good luck. Always wanted to implement something like this.

Back in the late 80's or so, Borland did a lot of direct mail advertising that would start out with "Dear Friend XXXX", where XXXX was the target's name. I was in Phillipe Kahn's office once talking with him, and noticed that tacked on the wall was one of those letters. Across it was written in heavy red ink:

"Dear Phillipe,
I am not your fucking friend. Got it, Phil baby?"

How could you not like a man who'd stick that on his office wall?
The benefit I highlighted is rather geared towards being an enabler of entrepreneurship, I myself dislike ads enough that I barely ever see one (outside Facebook, great HTML obfuscation there) so I can't pretend I'm a fan of it for product discoverability or what not.

>It's like if you made a business that depended on selling nicotine

Targeted advertising is not the reason why the modern Internet is addictive so the nicotine argument is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, those are separate issues. You could say, IMO rightfully, that profit motives are the incentive that pushed Internet companies towards addiction-optimization, but it would be equally true if you couldn't target-advertise.

>I'm also concerned about things like billboards, or the newspaper ad section that even when I call and ask them to stop I still get tossed into my yard or on the sidewalk. I don't want to see the billboard yet I'm forced to.

Not saying this is a good or bad idea, but if you ban targeted advertising and then all forms of IRL advertising, how do you even develop a new product or make your service known if you don't have access to a lot of capital to spam ads on TV, carpet bomb untargetted ads or buy/rent prime real estate for a store-front (assuming you have a store-business in the first place)? As much as I dislike both online and IRL ads too, arguably the latter more as I can't block it out of my eyesight, but I recognize/believe they are useful to foster SMBs and self-employment which seems, in my book, crucial for social mobility and a democratized capitalism.

Where I'm getting at is that I think (could be wrong, I'm no expert and am speaking from intuition) that expunging advertisement from our lives or making it extremely prohibitive (which I think would be the result of the rules you'd set) would simply further concentrate capital in the hands of large corporations or individuals with high means. I'm not saying your take is invalid but I'd be more inclined towards regulating the deleterious effects of advertising (privacy, advertising drugs or toys, intrusive or excessive panels, height and location limitations, ban some manipulative behaviors, false advertisement, right to opt-out or opt-in by default, etc) than outright banning them all, as much as I hate being advertised to.
You didn't read my comment right. My statement is there isn't one true string type. I didn't say you shouldn't use a length field.

Zero terminated strings still make some sense of course - ease of reading when looking at byte level representation, and moderate cost savings in packed structs (4, 8, or 16 byte strings). The former is why I zero terminate by default where possible, even when using a separate length field stored somewhere else (almost always).
This is a bad idea, it's probably illegal to do this kind of thing.
Seems cool at first glance! I've never heard of Handshake, will be looking at that more in particular.

> Internet and Linux came, and with them Perl, PHP, Python and others. Borland missed the boat

Actually, they were looking at new (by then) technologies. C++ Builder was a reality in the late 90s, Kylix (essentially Delphi for Linux) was released in 2000; I attended one demonstration by Marco Cantù himself.
The problem with Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero was that they weren't giving a damn about small developers but wanted to play only in the enterprise world, an ill choice that backfired spectacularly.
If they could exchange a few ideas with the developers behind Lazarus, and could help them some way but guaranteeing it stays free no strings attached, both worlds could benefit from it. Lazarus needs some more work and a name to become well known outside of the Delphi nostalgic developers world, and newer Delphi and related tools need a much cheaper product to attract developers in long ignored market segment.
The big difference is that the advancements of the past came with an increased energy usage.

We have essentially reached a plateau in terms of energy costs and available energy; sending a rocket to space or making a car go round are limited by fuel consumption. Technological advancements in those areas are now devoted to either fuel efficiency, safety, and rent-seeking.
I'm currently designing an "Automatic Rust", something high-level that will automatically implement the usual Rust patterns (generational indices, the occasional Vec or arena, and something I call a LifeCell), so we have fast and memory safe code with no run-time GC.

Rust's biggest challenge (IMO) is that the borrow checker makes the code very brittle... many changes which should be small end up causing widespread refactors. Not great for software engineering sometimes. Perhaps this approach will solve that.

Nailing down the perfect balance of all the techniques is challenging, but it's fun and looking promising =)

I don't see any documentation around libvps that claims it's safe to run on untrusted inputs, so you might want to run this thing in gVisor or a dedicated VM if that's your plan.

Dictionary is tech that addresses this problem for words. There are some catches, like you have to guess the language up front. And you have to know the ordering, eg how to look up Chinese characters.

Tooltip is tech that address this for icons. Again, a partial solution. Image search can help in a pinch too.

I don’t see anyone claiming that words are bad. The iPhone uses icon+word on the launch screen and Mac toolbars are usually configurable to use both. Finder panes have text-first lists and icon grids at your choice.

Not sure what your amazement is about.

>When did we absolve companies from their choice of vendors?

>just like they don't get to blame individual devs that they hired.

When the vendors become a symbol, a public utility status or practically the only choice. And this isn't a Tech company thing. It can be applied to all other industry. You can fire and hire another Dev. If you are looking at cloud vendor, you only have AWS, Azure and GCP to choose. For lots of reason the latter two may not be an option due to competition or features. And AWS is the best you can get, are you sure the Dev they have are the best they can hire?

They weren't able to compete with those things in the early-2000's, yet JetBrains was founded in 2000 and has had nothing but growth and success ever since.

Cross border transactions are heavily regulated precisely because they cross jurisdictional boundaries - without regulation it becomes trivially easy to commit fraud and make the money effectively disappear. Does the current regulation come in the way of the average person trying to accept Paypal money? Sure.

Accelerated saturation!?!

What's happened is that a bunch of people who have zero understanding about what crypto is or how it works have been able to buy an asset because a bunch of people using pre-existing technological and legal frameworks created platforms for them to do so.

The "accelerated saturation" you are referring to relies on the very types of trust and authority that the article claims to obviate the need for.
> I no longer hold the view that our media deserves the first amendment protection that it does

I'm sure if you thought through the implications of removing Constitutionally recognized, inalienable rights, you wouldn't say this. Let's assume it is done, the press is now stripped of its rights, and ask some questions about the world and political reality thereupon:

Do individuals still have this right to free speech or is it only media that no longer does?

Does an individual who becomes a journalist still have the right to free speech?

Who would oversee the speech of journalists? Would it be you or right-thinking people like you who decide what is acceptable for the media to say? Or would it be whichever political party were in power at the time? Or billionaire oligarchs?

How would this oversight work? A "free speech oversight" committee? How does one get into the committee? Appointment? By whom? Election?

If I want to run for election in the committee, can I say unpleasant things about my incumbent opponents? Or will the committee declare this speech to be out of bounds? What if they become corrupt? Who can report the truth about that corruption?

If I dislike the committee for some reason, can the committee oversee my criticism, declare it out of bounds?

Could the legal precedence of overriding the inalienable right to free speech also be used to override other inalienable rights? My right not to have to barracks soldiers in my house, for instance.

Yeah the fact that it all happened outside of the USA and by someone who is not beholden to the USA is kind of amazing.

I remember reading some library quaternion code (sorry can't remember which library) that started out with a lovely quote from Hamilton on how the idea burst into his mind in a flash as he walked with his wife near the river Liffey I think it was in Dublin.

Yeah this is disappointing to hear about and isn't a good look for the people involved. At the very least it should've been a separate module or an opt-in configuration parameter, who the hell needs a JNDI lookup in a log statement. If you do, do it yourself then log it. Disappointing.
Note that there currently exists a line that prevents auditory distractions - the farm on the side of the road can put up signs but they can’t blast music or AM Radio from a loudspeaker. IMO it’s still about as distracting to the senses.

I think the real difference is a whole generation who is used to linear TV has convinced themselves they can somehow tune it out. This isn’t true, but they’re much more likely to be against restrictions since it “doesn’t effect them” that much.
Go, OCaml and Lisp (depending on the Lisp) all have one other thing in common.. a fast compile/feedback loop. Rust doesn't have a good story here. This would be my guess as to why (at least in part).

This is because people don’t want to pay the cost of software carefully developed to take maximum advantage of modern hardware. In specific niches like audio production where this is desired then prices run into hundreds of dollars for a single plugin to cover the development costs.
