The law was maybe saying that, but that doesn't change what I'm saying. Which boils down to "I disagree with the response we have given, we should have been negociating rather than just saying no". Should I go ahead with a disclamer that says which open source encryption products used by governments that I'm involved into? Not sure, my point is: we have their attention, why use it to just say no when we could negociate and make outdoors security a feature in addition too online security.

The Intel example is particularly interesting as AFAIK Jobs wanted to go with Intel for the iPhone. The problem wasn't the different architecture but that Intel wanted significant margins. Seems definitely short sighed for a strategic deal like that.

Some interesting things in London

1) The railway line from Waterloo East to Waterloo main is still in place

2) No Tower Bridge

3) The Circle/District/Metropolitain lines are shown

4) The Olympia-ShepherdsBush-Hammersmith loop is shown

5) There's a farm north of Shepherds Bush (where White City and the 1908 Olympics were held shortly after)

6) London in the north generally stops around Zone 2

> I'm sure people said the same thing about 802.11ac when everyone was on n, or n when everyone was on g.

Certainly not - 802.11ac felt like the biggest leap, 802.11n was decent for browsing, but when starting a download I would try to switch to Ethernet for it not take too long.
With 802.11ac I didn't have to bother anymore as usually the difference was negligible.
Ask HN: Created embarrassing FB acc 10 years ago when underage and forgot pass
When I was in middle school circa 2010-2011 and Facebook was just coming out I created an account with an embarrassing profile picture and posts/likes. Now I’ve forgot the password and it’s the #1 result on Google when you search my name. I’ve tried all ways to recover the account, but the only option is to enter a password. It’s ruining my professional life and taking a major toll on my mental health. Is there any way to get it taken down or should I begin the process of changing my legal name? If I do so will I be able to have it updated on my ID / Birth Certificate / SSN card?
(1) is sometimes contractually obligated

(2) commonly, once the leads or "above the fold" credits, they list by department with leads listed first, then plebes last. Look at all of the 3D artists. Just a list of names. Above them, are the project managers, above them are directors, producers, etc.

*all of the above comes from personal involvement. sometimes asking a direct question of "what goes first" is responded with "I'll get back to you", but never does. "Just do what everyone else does" is common response too.

you have to remember that the person doing the credits is pretty much the lowest of jobs. nobody wants to do this job, and it is often assigned to intern level assignments. "take this Word Doc/Excel/.txt, and turn it into a graphic". Every post house I've worked in has always cried "there must be a better way".
At work a simple workstation is not enough we use remote development clusters. Is that an answer?
I really enjoy the recovery parts of the stories that have them, like a good Hollywood movie script, but real.

Unix wasn't very common after leaving university and I have more PC/LAN type stories. There was one memorable moment, where I was working very late in the office and got a call. [If working late, the main line would ring the entire office and I could press the blinky light to answer.] It was one of our consultants on the west coast who somehow had a corrupt filesystem, but that machine was the one that had all the project files for the many months of consulting work that the team had been developing. [I don't recall but it may have been CVS or SVN.]

The tricky bit was that it was using OS/2 and its HPFS filesystem so the usual file utilities wouldn't work. We had a number of IBM tech books on our bookshelves (because we also did mainframe consulting) and I'd been reading about terminal streams and one about the HPFS filesystem in particular. It mentioned boot blocks, superblocks, bands, allocation bit blocks, etc.

Being young (and dumb) went with "what's the worst thing that could happen" and came up with a plan: using the DOS 'nu' (Norton Utility) copy a few choice sectors from a similar spec-looking machine and try the OS/2 equivalent of 'chkdsk /f'--the client after all was IBM known for conformity. We first had to dial-up modem transmit the 'nu' program, but then we were coping the first 18 (or so) sectors to get the boot sector, partition table, boot program or other HPFS initial sector data; then there were some sectors in the middle of the disk that served as a kind of main description table with others in bands (that we didn't bother with). Guessed the starting point and number of sectors. This was a grasping at straws Hail Mary. Rebooted the machine, let the OS/2 run its chcdsk as it detected a problem, waited a long while until it was done. Unbelieveably it all worked! There might have been a couple open files lost and some files that were recently deleted being present, but no big differences. We didn't think we needed to tell anyone. He bought me beers as promised when I came to visit.

I'm going to preface this with I have no idea how any of this ACTUALLY works, and I'm probably wrong, but the "blockchain" abstracts all the more complicated bits away. I'm not a crypto diehard, and probably never will be. I think they are neat, and I have about 10% of my net worth tied up in a handful of coins. Here is my understanding how we can all be banks without even really thinking about it.

Some coins (PoS specifically) allow staking, which allows you to set it aside a certain amount, which is then used to validate other transactions, and you earn rewards. In traditional banking, this is kind of like a CD, and your money is used to help the bank out and it pays you interest on that.

The Ethernet (and a few other coins Solana comes to mind) ledger allow for the creation of smart contracts (applications that run on the blockchain) that could (probably some already exist) allow you to automate the creation loans on the ledger, witnessed by the world, that automatically pay you back. You can probably use the smart contract to do a modicum of due diligence on the borrower. But instead of paying SynapseFi (or other but first name that came to mine) thousands a month to allow you to build out loans, its all there for you on the block chain. This probably IS the future of peer2peer lending, as it is already a HUGE industry, and this would kind of get rid of the middle man.

One aspect of banking that is not really needed anymore would be the storage of assets. That is a built in part of cryptocurrency.

There is still the question of how do you get crypto, and for now, and until more people use it for everyday actives, that requires exchanges. And Exchanges could be seen as a centralization of sorts, but even they are a dime a dozen so they are effectively decentralized. And most support transferring to a wallet. So... kinda decentralized.

>Colorado remote workers need not apply: Companies avoid state due to salary-posting law

https://www.denverpost.com/2021/06/26/colorado-remote-work-j...
Can you think of a single example of a company for which moving headquarters might make sense because of this law?

Remember that it applies only to salary (not total compensation) and it applies to jobs done in NYC, not jobs done for companies whose headquarters are in NYC.
as they've outlined the storage is decentralized the compute is not. I don't think its an unfair sales pitch - they clearly are heading down the right path.

I had a funny bit in a restaurant recently: we asked the waiter to recommend something, and he shows up with a bottle and a corkscrew and a white towel, ready to do the bottle-opening ceremony. He extolled the virtues of the wine, finishing off with "And there is only one drawback..."

And then he twisted off the top.

It was hilarious. I'd love it if all wines were screwtops.
With all the problems arising from leaky abstractions and trying to adapt to a foreign runtime? Imho there's no point. Especially now that OCaml Multicore is on the way. A much better effort, for anyone interested, would be to vastly simplify the OCaml build and package management story to be more Go-like.
Maybe just hide it by silently making everyone whole?

If someone from the project wants to do that I don't think anyone will complain?
This gets repeated all the time by people who want to institute decriminalization in the US, but it’s always without an important bit of context. Although possession of personal use amounts is decriminalized, Portugal does force people into drug treatment. Drug users still get arrested when they’re caught in public with drugs, they just aren’t sent to prison. That step is critical, but almost always left out of the discussion. My home state decriminalized all drugs in personal amounts without any such forced treatment mechanism, after promising the results Portugal had. Turns out, much like a recipe it doesn’t work so well if you leave out important ingredients.
I think this is a very appropriate comparison. At risk of forcing the analogy, there's some balance between (dis)trusting society at large with the liberation of attitudes towards psychedelics while maintaining some guardrails against the objectification, or cheapening, or hyping (miracle cure-all style) or even institutionalization of the experience/tooling. Society seems to be very tolerant of the risks/consequences of liberalized sexual morality. I'm not in any way interested in judging that as a positive or negative right now, just the observation that a) there are consequences; b) Western society has given priority to the benefits over the consequences; c) the boundaries and dimensions of the issue, benefits, consequences are still being explored; d) that exploration has largely been hands-off and organic, addressing problems in an arguably reactive posture.

With psychedelics I think the risks/consequences are potentially greater and so would say simply as a comparison, societies need to be a little more careful, a little less reckless with this one. I instinctively project my own positive experiences with psychedelics onto others and so imagine positive outcomes to be more accessible or certain for society at large. This instinct - I know from observation as I've grown older and have seen more of the world and its inhabitants - needs to be checked. There are a lot of broken people out there, a lot of vulnerable people, a lot of self-interested influences that are either uncaring or malign.

I have trouble articulating my full thoughts on this, but I don't think Western and particularly US culture has done a good job managing mental health and particularly in fostering positive mental health during formative years of human development. Not specifically talking about acute diagnosable disorders, but even the level of chronic anxiety, depression, and hopelessness that is experienced and amplified when passed cyclically over generations. The causes are interesting but beyond the scope of my comment, though it does influence my skepticism about throwing a grenade of recreational psychedelics into the gen-pop and letting it work itself out.

I know someone is bound to say that nobody is talking about recreational psychedelics in a conversation about therapeutical use, but I would say that's precisely my starting point - a) it's hard to avoid more recreational use of psychedelics when normalizing it socially even in a clinical setting; b) figuring out how and where to set up appropriate guardrails should be deliberate; c) the experience with sexual liberation can probably inform the conversation in valuable ways, particularly in a critical approach.

This is not an easy problem to solve in a secular, diverse, free-market democracy since the levers of influence are less centralized and arguably incentivized towards disruption, live experimentation, and deconstruction.
I made a Facebook account when I was in middle school 10 years ago and have no idea what the password is. The only option for recovering the account is the password. The problem is this account has an embarrassing profile picture and likes/memes from 2010 and when you search my real name on Google it is the first result. This is harming my career and causing great mental stress. I’m considering changing my legal name because of it. Does anyone know if Facebook would sympathize with me and delete my first account (an almost blank account with only a few posts and pictures not touched since 2010) if I can prove my identity? Or should I just begin the legal process of changing my name?

> If the driver was relying on the auto-pilot and some kind of detection system and didn't pay attention, then it is not the system that failed, it is the driver's fault entirely.

IMO it’s the fault of the engineers who did not take human factors into account. We all know that humans are terrible at following instructions or even using common sense — hence warnings about not using your toaster in the bathtub — so when engineers pretend that users will do the right thing, the engineers are at fault for not addressing the behaviours of the multitudes who will not do the right thing.

TLDR: the driver is at fault for being a dumbass using autopilot at night, and Tesla is at fault for not considering how real humans will use the product.

That's cool. I didn't know. It's nice how having fun hacking on boot sectors can help us discover things mother nature figured out a long time ago. Do you have links you could share where I could learn more about dna coding hacks? For example, I've been reading some of the stuff written by Bert Hubert (known for his work on PowerDNS) who got into biology recently and wrote blog posts like this https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/amazing-dna/

> These comments are fascinating in their own right. Like C comments they have a start marker, like /*, and a stop marker, like */. But they have some more structure. Remember that DNA is like a tape - the comments need to be snipped out physically! The start of a comment is almost always indicated by the letters ‘GT’, which thus corresponds to /*, the end is signaled by ‘AG’, which is then like */.

I don't know a whole lot about biology, but learning cool facts like that makes me wonder what would happen if those comment markers were used as parenthesis.

The mundane of today is very insightful for tomorrow's historians.

Its fascinating when you start looking into any historical time period (you wouldn't even need to go far back), before a lot of details are educated guesses. Since no one chose to record the mundane in detail or it failed to preserve over time.

And the phantom braking hasn't improved without radar. As with so many things at Tesla, this was clearly a cost-cutting or supply-constraint inspired move masquerading as some technological advance.
I thought the question was about developing new drugs entirely using computer models, at least until the first human trials. If that is the goal, we would need a model of the proteins in the entire body to get an idea of how a substance could affect every protein they interact with in every organ they reach, what organs it could actually reach, and how the modifications to each protein would in turn cascade.

And the toe nails and similar things are why I was saying "give or take a few orders of magnitude". Not to mention, certain drugs could affect your toenail.

> In general, very few important disagreements are actually about facts.

I disagree. In fact, behind each of your examples are real empirical questions. This form of thinking just hides them. There are real questions about what makes people want to change sex; about the effects of immigration; and about the effects of social spending.

It's perfectly true that people's minds are hard to change, and that they can be swayed by the manipulative techniques of advertising and PR. The jump from that to accepting it as a valid, or the only possible, form of argument harms public debate and democracy, and we end up in the cynical, post-truth world of Peter Pomerantsev - or Trump - where all there is is competing narratives.
There's huge valuable learnings to be had in failure. Through some coordination they could perhaps get compensation for sharing although this goes against it all being open and free.
I suspect it's that pesky "rule of law" thing. We need to change the laws to make them liable.
Crypto is the greatest wealth transfer of this generation alright - transferred directly from the bamboozled suckers who work real jobs for their money, and right into the pockets of the many crypto platforms charging fee after fee.

When the value of the coin in the wallet inevitably drops as markets start "dumping" rather than "pumping", the crypto platforms that took advantage of the hype will be rich as hell (and in "real" money, too).
I think it could be argued that carving out an exception counts as increased interference because it means the government is inserting itself between all workers and employers in order to mandate job classifications. Without exceptions, businesses would not have to spend time/money defending their assertion that this worker is A and that worker is B and thus is less entitled to greater pay.

At least in the US I think pride is now used most commonly in the sense of dignity and in the context of the article pride is the more formulaic term (all based on my general sense from random stuff I read). As in "Pride Month" or "proud to be ...". The sense you mention does also exist and would usually be the case if refering to a particular person or event and in particular when saying "proud of". Although regularly working 12 hours a day is not common so that sense could potentially be intended in this case as well. Even that sense wouldn't necessarily be that strong and conveying that you feel a strong emotion of pride in some accomplishment would involve additional words. Interestingly, when I checked the definition on Wictionary quickly it gave primarily negative connotations to the word while I think that sense is rarely used in the US and usually in a religious context (and even there it would often involve additional words to indicate that the negative sense is used), although I think it may have been used that way more commonly in the past. Usually other words would be used in the negative sense.
Everything in a crypto wallet is a high risk asset, even if you're an infosec professional.
Not just the glitch but this whole project produces some great results!
Yep, but the important part is that

1. Users pay for their own storage, as directly as possible, otherwise they are not in control.

2. Any centralized APIs are fully interchangeable, ideally you can literally select a different gateway in the app, and keep working all within 5 seconds.
