No, it's UTF-16 with no validation at the kernel level. Invalid UTF-16 is also invalid UCS-2 as those code points were explicitly barred from use.

In practice, only malware will create such broken names. High level software (e.g. Microsoft's own VSCode) will not handle broken UTF-16. And indeed the in-built UTF-8 code page will lossily decode UTF-16 (unpaired surrogates are replaced with the Unicode replacement character).

I understand the very basics of blockchain technology, but I guess I'm missing some context or background that would allow me to make the mental connection between "blockchain" and "unblockable microblog". Does anyone have a good pointer to something that would explain this more in-depth/like I'm 5?
That sounds similar to creditors selling the right to collect debt repayments to a debt collector, or patent holders selling their patents to a patent enforcement company or patent troll (usually the same).
At least once, but it's been a while. From the top of my head:

- set encoding at HTML head
- also at any HTML form element
- Set database collation correctly
- I believe it also needs to be done per table
- The PHP -> MySQL connection itself may need to have the encoding set
- All string manipulation to be done with mb_
- Even ensure your code files themselves are in UTF8
important news is often released b4 market open or after close, or pundits will hype the stock over the close.

Manipulation, such as gapping the price higher or lower to make profit from options or increased liquidity of regular trading hours. So you spend $10 million in the pre-market hours to make a stock open 5% higher and then use the extra liquidity to unload a $100 million position at the open while also selling calls.

Yeah, I have an iPad4 that looks like it's brand new. I bought it for my mom, she treated it like a baby for a few years, then returned it to me. It is stuck on iPadOS 10.3.3. It now sits on a shelf, running Yahoo Weather and nothing else. What a waste of a perfectly good hardware.

> So the Amish are allowed to use electricity, just not from the public grid? Generators seem like a weird loophole to their own rules.

That depends greatly on the congregation. Each congregation sets its own rules on how to deal with technology. "Not inside the home" is a very common technological limit. Cell phones might be stored in a shed, fed by solar chargers, for use out in the field. A workshop might have electricity from a wind/solar installation or even a diesel generator, but not the attached house.

The first puzzle appeared on Dec. 21, 1913, born out of desperation when Arthur Wynne, the editor of The New York World, needed to fill space in a holiday fun supplement. Yet as THE OLD ENGLISH AND ANGLO-LATIN RIDDLE TRADITION (Harvard University, $35), a comprehensive new collection beautifully edited by the Oxford professor Andy Orchard, demonstrates, everything you need to know about crosswords you can learn from Anglo-Saxon riddles: Riddles are the ür-crossword puzzles.

Riddles are at the heart of language. The Old English verb raedan lies at the root of “to read” and “to riddle”: To read is to riddle, to riddle is to read. What makes the riddle so special and weird as a form — and so like the crossword — is its ability to be at once highbrow and lowbrow. Riddles represent the whole of Anglo-Saxon life.

“crossword brain” is part and parcel of the oldest parts of the language we have. Modernists exploited this, but they sure didn’t think it up. TS Eliot brought more back from the dead (Dame Julian, as one very important example) than anything else, and we’re fortunate he did.

Show HN: Codedraft – learn CSS at your own pace
Hello!

In the last few months I've worked on creating Codedraft, a mobile application that allows you to learn CSS. It is currently available on Android only:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codedraft

The main idea of the app is to learn and practice at your own speed, that's why the information is split into very small pieces. It offers two courses, CSS Basics and Advanced CSS, each of them being split into several sections.

Another feature of Codedraft is the ability to practice what you learn in the web app, available at https://app.codedraft.io. When learning in the mobile app, occasionally you have the option to scan a QR code on the web app - this action will automatically take you to a relevant coding exercise.

The web app can also be opened from the "Scan Code" tab in the mobile app.

I've always wanted to work on an educational software, however this is my first dive into the domain. :) I would be very happy to get any type of feedback possible.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks a lot for reading!

Do yourself a favor and demystify the dark web for yourself.

Some of the best information is exclusively nestled in forums and marketplaces over there.

If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else.
The companies I've worked for have had periodic (every 6 or 12 months) performance evaluations with associated pay adjustments. The pay adjustment would be broken out into a cost-of-living increase (notionally tracking inflation) and a performance increase (or decrease I guess) based on the employee's performance evaluation. I'm sure it varies by employer, but this seems to be common in my area and industry at least.

We do have unions in the US, though I've not worked in a union shop before. Union contracts vary, but I get the idea it's not uncommon for them to include pay adjustments based on inflation.
I understand your point and I see comparisons with South Korea a lot. Sibling commenter makes a good remark about education.

Another huge difference which can't be underestimated is the geopolitical importance of South Korea and the ensuing economic aid from the US.

Singapore also has uniquenesses (its location) that wouldn't translate well into other countries.

In no way does this diminish the merits of both those countries -- its great that they managed to develop so well, and they deserve applause for doing so. But I don't think we can easily compare either to Brazil.

The whole debate is about open source with licenses that do in fact allow corporations to legally use it for free. And open source advocates of the past spent a lot of effort ensuring them it is so.

There are licenses that don't allow such thing. And afaik, corporations avoid those libraries or pay for alternative license. The people however don't complain about these.

> The programs for spending the money are slated to last as little as a single year

What does this mean? Are you saying that there exists a program in this package that will take less than a year, or are you saying that all of the programs in this package could be wrapped up within a single year? If the latter, fine. If the former, you're using careful phrasing to be intentionally deceptive, which is not a way to argue with people you're trying to convince.
It’s only better to have high occupancy when you care about cash flow. Low/negative cost of capital means you only care about theoretical cash flow for valuation purposes. Given the rate at which home prices have been increasing landlords will make more money from appreciation than from rent.

> Consumer Price Level measures might be useful for other things, but not at input for your central banking function.

It's not about being useful, but about the fact that the mob is growing more unhappy every day because their buying power is dwindling, which in turns makes elected politicians quake in their boots.

And as much as everyone would like to claim or even in some case believe that central banks are independent entities, this is a complete pipe dream, they are - at the very least - subject to influence peddling like everyone else.
This wasn't just "someone whose crime was leaving a negative review of his book". From that image you posted, quoting Krebs: The guy is a convicted cybercrook who's in jail. Of course he hates me

I agree. I don't think the lockdown/vaccine mandates instated in these pandemic times will be looked upon kindly.
You forget: "And also if the chain supply problems will make them available enough".

Currently there is a shortage of RPi's, they take long to ship, costs more and somehow also have a lower quality compared to the older RPi's I have.
Same. I pulled down my dad's old camera from the closet a few years ago and it probably hadn't been used since the 90s so the batteries were dead. Threw in some new Duracell batteries and played with it a bit before putting it away. Opened it a year or two later and the batteries had swelled and leaked everywhere. Had to use a pair of pliers to extract the swollen batteries from the battery compartment. Such a huge pain.
Words are thoughts. Thoughts are mental processes. Be careful with treating similarity in appearance with equivalence in substance.

> social harmony and the rule of law

The association between the story and social harmony seems plausible, but actually superficial.

Social harmony would be that people involuntarily work together without an authority, and reached mutual agreement on their dispute. To me, it is a sign of social conflicts that dark web actors need arbitration.

Although that by itself matches our impression that dark web actors are lawless individuals should be punished. More ironically, the story actually shows that they are not lawless in the absolute sense. They just breakd the laws majority of the society abides by (or the majority actually do not even realize exits).

> rule of law

You know, rule of law is more of a political term nowadays. It refers to a western style of political organization framework centered on written laws and a voting process to revising them, and many other subtle details.

Is arbitration on darkweb an example of rule by law?

I tend to say no. Arbiter is necessary in all steps, and they seem are not codifying their "laws" for dealing with the future occrance of similar litigation at all.

> A properly worn mask necessarily obstructs breathing.

I’m really not sure why people keep claiming this, as if a lot of us haven’t been wearing a variety of masks for years at this point.
Right. I used to think this as well. In its most basic form, it means no ruler. I view anarchism as the ultimate counter to authoritarianism. The older I get, the more it becomes apparent to me that all of our world governments are authoritarian to a degree, including supposed democratic ones, and there seems to be this arbitrary threshold of "ok now we call this regime authoritarian". But every government rules through multiple forms of coercion. Some are more authoritarian than others, but nonetheless, authoritarian.
My guess is that because blockchain is decentralized, in theory nobody could censor or block it, because nobody “controls” the blockchain.

Compared with any modern social media site which is mutable and controlled by an organization who gets to police content

Edit: a good example of this is that folks have put malicious content into the various blockchains (ascii images of child harm material, or strings of data that trigger antivirus). You can’t stop it being added, and once it’s there you cannot remove it.
Horticulture is usually defined by domestication, so we're pretty darn confident that early human subsistence strategies didn't rely on it based on their presumed lack of time machines and the fact that there's so much time between the evolution of AMHs and observable domestication. You can double or triple the known dates and still have 90%+ of human history left over.

In a broader sense, pretty much everyone in the field would say that there's a huge amount of overlap in those terms and trying to pigeonhole a particular society into one or the other over a long period of time is more frustrating than fruitful. Human subsistence strategies were hugely diverse and we only have a small glimpse into that diversity with ethnographic analogy and the material record.

Of course their involvement was significant in how things played out. But your analogy would like be saying the USSR would have been dominated by Germany without the US entering the war with a Europe first strategy. It would have been a strategically worse situation, but it's really not clear if that would have made Germany successful on the eastern front.

It’s not fixed. MySQL still has a datatype called “utf8” that, in fact, is not utf-8 but a limited subset thereof.

PostgreSQL has some sharp edges, sure, but a lot less obvious footguns like these.
> The silver lining here is that most households in the U.S. own their home, so they're either shielded from a significant portion of inflation

Unless something has changed since the recent reports of the inflation surge, housing hasn't been a big part of it (used auto prices were, IIRC, the single biggest component—which also doesn't hit most people regularly...)
I think you misunderstood my point. Yes, relational databases have been around a long time. But in the early days of MySQL, most of the companies using MySQL differed quite a bit from the companies typically using DB2, Sybase, Oracle, etc. I've been using MySQL professionally since 2003 and am speaking from first-hand experience here: the web development world was largely separate from the traditional enterprise world at that time. It was considered a different use case, it's not like today where the biggest companies in the world are tech companies built on open source software.

Regarding "silent", MySQL at least emits a warning when this happens. Still not great / obviously wrong in a modern context, but just for clarity's sake it wasn't completely silent.

As for "defective type enforcement", that's a subjective opinion. In C, atoi("123hello456") returns 123 -- once you hit an invalid character, everything from that point is truncated. Is C atoi defective? Perhaps, but it's an opinion.

With strict mode disabled, four-byte characters worked the same way in MySQL utf8mb3: four-byte characters are invalid in this data type, and everything gets truncated at the first invalid character. Would simply stripping the invalid characters, but keeping valid chars after them, necessarily be more "correct"? No, it's an implementation decision, especially considering that emoji did not exist at the time and barely any non-BMP (4-byte) utf8 characters were used anywhere.
You don't need to trust the Grayzone, or the Russian government (or Syrian or Iranian or Venezuelan or Chinese, whichever one is the most convenient to pin Grayzone to today) to see the though the smokescreen of Bellingcat's claim to being an independent "intelligence agency for the people". It's a total farce.
What if centralized authories are naturally emergent because individuals demand them?
> I didn’t make any assumptions about what Swedish law can or cannot do

> If Swedish law says ... they’re able to apply that law ...

This is a big assumption, and depends if you mean literally that they can do this, or if they can do so sustainably. Any country can violate international practise, but are unlikely to do so (at least in Europe) because of the consequence on international relations.

A law on Helvetica font would require legal authority. Very often, companies themselves are help liable for the actions of a company - laws that allow the government to punish individuals would have to specifically criminalise the act even for locals acting on behalf of those corps. These kind of laws are much rarer, at least in US/Europe, and not the kind of law we are talking about here which appear to apply to corporations. There is a good reason for this; as soon as any nation officially declares it would punish individuals like this, corps will leave - or at least no longer employ natives into decent positions.

> But the Swedish government gets to make those laws and determine which apply to whom.

Technically, but not really, they have to remain compatible with their international agreements, and their economic ambitions.

Ah an immutable blog! A feature literally no one wants and no one has asked for!
but this article is explaining that unless you are selling short in the morning and covering at night, there are mostly negative returns for intraday trading, i.e. "pil(ing) in in the morning, and exit(ing) in the afternoon".

There are lots of firms and funds and floors that never hold overnight, but this research demonstrates that that is basically a statistically losing strategy. If you follow markets it's almost impossible to not notice that almost all the real action happens after hours, and the day's trading tends to "erase" whatever happened overnight. Bruce's research is hard to contradict, unless the data is wrong or his formulae or off.
The footprint of a nuclear power plant is pretty huge. That machinery is generally not optional even if doing a "fire and forget" design. Underground space would come at a premium cost, likely far more than could be saved on reactor design.

Also nuclear power plants obviously generate an absolutely massive amount of heat that needs to be dissipated, a task that would be difficult and expensive underground.
