I think this is somewhat of a self-inflicted wound by the developers of the Linux desktop here. Linux+Wayland is the only major desktop environment that requires you to use an OS-provided dialog to pick the window you want to share when screensharing from a desktop app. Now obviously there are some security benefits to this approach (though in practice I'm not entirely convinced this is a big deal since you're usually pretty hosed if you've installed a malicious native app anyway...), but this kind of requirement tends to break existing abstractions.

Now on some level, that's not a big deal. Having to use a different UI flow on Wayland than everywhere else is annoying, but that's just life in software development. BUT, Linux has a relatively tiny share of the desktop market which makes it hard to justify devoting engineering resources to it. When you've only got 1% of the market, you're only going to get good adoption of a new API if you make it easy.

Tipping is a semi frequently covered political topic here. Anything from corporate corruption, dumb Americans, any anecdote, and similar easy observations that don’t need you to read the article. Especially when “top comment” is on such an easy/well tread/low effort/acceptable topic, people here are far less likely to read the article.

(Personally I think the “top comment” is almost always worth collapsing. Though looks like you’re top now while I typed this)
Have google given any insight at all as to what will happen to users purchases and so forth? Is it fair to assume that we either pay up or lose access to that which was purchased?

In addition does this mean @gmail.com users should consider whether or not they could be subject to the same unexpected alteration regarding their own accounts?
I had a drug dealer friend with a cop as a roommate. The cop “didn’t know” but he “loved to help out friends of friends.” It was entirely comical over at their house.
> education > regulation

Not really. There's always going to be a significant fraction of the public that will be irresponsible, either through ignorance, intransigence, or greed. And then there's the fact that the amount personal education and effort required to substitute for regulation in the modern world is so high to be entirely impractical (sure you could reasonably take up one or two areas, but not all areas).

How do you suppose it gets there?
Fine. Coughed up the $200. I really like the idea of a new microgame every week.
FWIW an other option which turns out to be quite ridiculous for heat is the hanten (japanese winter vests).

They're thick padded cotton, and once the vest has warmed up (which doesn't take too much time) it's really warm and comfy, if a tad bulky.
New Albany seems situated nicely for domestic distribution, and also European distribution as it's about 150 miles from Cleaveland. Maybe there's another port it's closer to, I don't know much about Ohio. But if Intel can get chips to Europe more quickly than its Asian rivals, I can see that being a boon for them.
Right, but if we're looking for the quickest path, "right click on this page, and select 'Inspect'" and boom. You're there. Certainly one could go to https://replit.com/ and choose from a host of "better" languages. My approach was trying to avoid someone having to install anything at all. As soon as you say, "ok, you'll need to install NodeJS, then use npm to install this package....", things get dicey. Someone who's serious about learning will fight through it, but someone who's just starting out may be put off.
So Briar messages are sent directly peer-to-peer? That's pretty cool. How does it work? There is a graphic on the website that suggests it uses Tor.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

> And we're not even counting in meaningful life years.

I think it's likely that a lot of these treatment paths end up cumulatively increasing QALY's (quality-adjusted life years) by more than they increase life expectancy. That is, they add more good time than total time, in part because of a lot of the factors you mention. If we pick up 5 years of QALY and 4 years of increased lifespan, that's a pretty huge win, IMO. It means getting to know grandchildren much more meaningfully as the typical age of parents at childbirth has increased.
You might be underestimating the number of people who would return to the workforce for jobs like this.
For anyone curious, I found this early blog post announcing it.

It seems like it was built by some Github employees back during the URL shortening phase as just a fun hack project to learn a new database, although a few services implemented it to shorten Github URLs.
It's not worth it when you consider Office 2013 was available as a single $99 purchase for 5 machines, forever.

For a business however Office 365 w/Outlook makes sense because maintaining your own email server is way too much hassle these days.
Indeed, I can agree that there are all kinds of practical disadvantages if other people would start living forever.

On the other hand, if we're talking about me or you then suddenly it's different, isn't it? I think I'd choose to take unnatural longevity for myself even if it imposes some problems for the social fabric.

Right. And if there was concrete evidence that this was the case then investors (especially controlling interest ones that I work with) would DEFINITELY being doing it.

Or maybe we just need a new company beginning with an F?
Yep, that is what I use. The signature itself looks completely handwritten (because it is), but the companies in question complain that it can't possibly be a handwritten signature because the document didn't look printed and scanned (???). It's slightly ridiculous, but not much I could do other than find a scanner/printer or "comply" with their document formatting requirement

Many people on HN think that, for instance, GPT-3 and that family of works does not represent any real advancement and continually disparage and poke holes in the output of the model. These threads are upvoted to the front page occasionally.
No. They fall under a variety of regulations because they sell securities, transmit money, and hold cash, but most of them are not banks yet. I think that will change soon, especially as the government equates stablecoin offerings as equivalent to banking.

Also, Binance is not regulated in the US at all. It's banned from the US.
They were very comfortable in many cases. The water container conformed to your body and provided very evenly distributed pressure. Having a heated bed was very nice in the winter. You usually had an extra pad on top to reduce contact with the vinyl container. It was hard to sleep with someone else though as their movements tended to cause you to bounce around. Later versions had baffles that reduced the motion of the ocean.

They were very heavy. I had to get rid of mine when the downstairs neighbor could no longer open her door due to warping of the doorframe in a very old house.
Yes agreed.

However, a free society is not about mandating people to be safe, it's about providing the information and allowing them to make their own decisions.

Smoking is the perfect example of this and a great example of how the government should act.

Don't regulate but educate people on the harms and allow them to make their own decisions.

Marijuana is the perfect example of how the federal gov't got 'mandates' wrong, and only by breaking the law have people changed it.

In Europe and Asia the American tourists have some bad reputation, for a reason. In Paris (France) we asked some waiters about this and the answers were very strong (I was with some locals, so the waiters were very open to speak up).
I know plenty of RF engineers who haven't died, or have lived very long lives. They also don't smoke.
Fair point. I feel like you could make a case for $DE/Linux on desktop, $COREUTILS/Linux on server and Android/Linux on mobile then whenever greater precision is needed.

That said, how often do you need to distinguish between the Coreutils in use? If you say Linux server, unless you specify something out of the ordinary, everyone will assume you have GNU or Busybox coreutils - which doesn't matter that much, you can do pretty much anything with either afaik - and whatever server software is in use. Or on desktop, you can just mention the distro in question and everyone will know or be able to find out all of the above. Why specify every single time?
But another process wouldn't be passing an OwnedFd in that case, and sending an OwnedFd away would pass the underlying FD and drop the wrapping OwnedFd. The process receiving the FD would have to take care (as today in any C program) to determine whether they are responsible dispose of the FD or not.
Nope. They don't have a banking license so they are not banks so they are not regulated like banks.

(Whether they should be regulated like banks is a different question, and one that is still being debated)

There are many good points, but the article says "Wayland has been in development for all this time, and the inevitability of a complete switchover is known" for a time period starting in 2008?

> Good IPv6 host support has been a thing in almost all consumer OSes for over 10 years now. All currently supported versions of Windows, MacOS, Android[1][2] and iOS support IPv6 natively.

You probably need to care about the last couple unsupported versions, too; 5-year-old Android versions are still in the wild. Thankfully, it's a rolling window and the stuff with poor support is dropping off.

> The problem is simply that some people don’t want to spend a couple weekends to learn a new technology (one that is old enough to purchase alcohol in all 50 states—-this is not like chasing the latest web framework).

The problem, speaking as someone who spent some weekends worth of time on it, is that the technology, which has only been relevant for the last handful of years regardless of when it was first released, is not nearly that simple and works just differently enough to trip you up. (And you can't just do a full replacement and drop v4, so the differences will keep tripping you up)

Just a couple months ago I had a couple of forms rejected with a note “needs wet signature”

They were for a 401(k) plan I was updating RMD choices. I got the PDF form from their site, filled it out in Preview, pasted my signature PNG, and used an app on my phone to fax it(!) to their number.

Got rejected. Had to actually print the damn things and sign them with a pen, scan them again with my phone’s camera, and re-fax them.

Was mildly infuriating.
Careful, I think your biases are showing. To assert that nobody wants to live in Ohio is an incredibly myopic worldview. I can think of loads of people that would love to work in tech without the big city living, or the high prices that come with it.
Just saw this. When will you be around to discuss?
I mentioned below comment in another thread[0] some time back and I think it's relevant here too

Three months ago I picked up new hobby: Self Hosting. It has been an amazing ride. I learned a lot and I also get peace of mind knowing I am in control of my data. I understand that there is no self-hosted alternative for certain SaaS services but I think that will change as more and more people choose to be in control of their data.

Ask HN: Should I/We start a 4-day work week advocacy org?
I've been toying with the idea for months, but not sure how much time/energy I want to commit to it -- my current thinking is I can do it for a year, then hand it off.

I'm not completely sure a 4-day work week is a good thing -- from a Bernie/socialist/anarchist-type perspective -- but my gut says 'yes, at least a little bit, and on a massive scale, that is probably worth spending some time on.'

My primary argument in favor of the 4-day is it would allow relatively powerful white collars workers to engage more in the political system, possibly education and organizing generally -- just because they'll/we'll have more time. That's the theory. I could use to do some research generally on time off, and specifically, on the history of the weekend, to see if that happened in the past.

So, could we use a 4-Day advocacy org?
Yeah, but they are building in Columbus.
Depending on where they're moving from, they might take a pay cut.. Ohio is very cheap to live in. New Albany is not particularly exciting, but nearby Columbus is a nice vibrant city, not the end of the earth. OSU is a definitely good asset for Intel, they put out 2k engineering degrees a year.

I hope this spurs a nice tech ecosystem for Ohio--it's been dominated by insurance and medicine for a long time.
Yes, like that

Catalans didn’t lose anything, they were part of the Kingdom of Aragon (a part of the Kingdom of Spain), and when Charles II died without heir, there was a civil war against two European families: Bourbon & Habsburg. Castile nobles chose Bourbon while Aragon ones chose Habsburg.

The war was not because of some “state rights” or whatever you’d like to say, it was a fight for the Spanish Crown between two European Royal Families. If Aragon nobles chose with such bad luck that they were in the losing side, that’s Human History.

Yes, they also do this for ID's, and for voter ID's. It's specifically created to prevent people whom don't have only 1 permanent address,with paper billing, being able to live their daily lives. I had to go to a local county courthouse 4 times to get a "realid" and to renew a driver's license. I had to call all sorts of people to get printed statements sent to me. It's incredibly ridiculous, I would call it completely contrary to the ethos of the United States, even. That as a citizen with all these forms of ID I still cannot readily operate as a citizen in my own country.

Yeah, my mom (grew up in the rural south US) has told me multiple times about how her mom would heat bricks fro the beds each evening. They were very poor and had no central heat so wood stove, bricks, and multiple kids to a bed (there were 13 of them) was the go to winter strategy.
> printers work without doing anything

Any anecdotes?

I have one: I've had this HP printer for years now. It's one of the... cheaper models that's more geared towards younger people (the app-downloading crowd). Anyway, that printer just would not work on Windows without installing some form of adware from HP. I tried everything, every obscure menu I could find to get the printer working.

They really wanted me to put this thing on my network.

On Linux, well... I plugged it in. And that's it. Software picks it up, works amazingly. I couldn't believe my eyes when it instantly recognised it.
The promise of WebAssembly is that we can stop writing shitty Javascript and write shitty web apps in slightly less shitty languages, without having to transpile it to shitty Javascript. Ideally this will lead to less overall shittiness.

That's the crux of it — visions aside, day-to-day, nobody is going to suddenly "solve aging" for everyone. Progress comes gradually, in the form of everyone's loved ones dying and suffering less often and less early — and very few people are opposed to that.

You hear about older people fall ill and think things like "I've lived long enough, I don't want to go through the ordeal of treatment X for a .05 probability of living for one more year in bad health" — but would they see it that way if the treatment were to become much better and safer?
This analogy doesn't work. The OP didn't say software should be free, or that people shouldn't be paid.

> Binance said documents reviewed by Reuters were “partial and do not accurately reflect the full picture

I believe that, having worked with many lawyers over a variety of crypto projects over the last half decade most of the information is with different attorneys under attorney client privilege.

They know the law better than the public sector agencies do, spending months on a rationale from a variety of case law, journals, and less binding private opinions from the same regulators. and law firms may even accept liability on behalf of their client.

Even if its not “better”, as it is inconvenient for a regulator to disagree with you at any point, it is more expensive for a regulator by orders of magnitude for two reasons:

1) The regulator doesnt know how you’re structured or what legal rationale you are relying on. They dont know what exemption or compliance you are relying on. And there are many possibilities, sometimes infinite permutations.

2) They dont get to know even because of the attorney client privilege.

They cant assume you’re doing something wrong just because Reuters decided to use some negative adjectives for things likely currently legal.

Regulators are stuck with a high expense to most likely just embarrass themselves. Its better for them to go after lower hanging fruit.

Binance is accurate in that legislatures have not made a specific encompassing law. So regulators are flying blind. Legislatures also dont know what to pass since nobody will talk to them either, the firms most effected dont want anything on the piblic record because then an overzealous regulator will know about any weakness in the company’s regulatory strategy. Legislatures are also at a place where they could neuter the regulator agency, its not a specific anti-crypto future that people think “governments” are heading towards.

So literally everyone is flying blind, while the well funded fiat-interfacing crypto service has the most comprehensive view of the law because of their expensive lawyers.

I thought that while chip production uses a lot of water, the water is mostly not consumed in the process and due to environmental regulation the water has to be cleaned at the plant so they form a closed loop system. It takes a lot of water when the plant is built, but after that it requires only a small amount of water to continue running.
It’s pretty hard to tell how many “devices” are capable of ipv6 because they typically just ask for ipv4 DHCP addresses and get them from routers.

My guess is that it is still a tiny minority of non-computer devices that will use ipv6 on the LAN side of a router.
Really though? Because the last five years have seemed more like Dante's Devine Comedy.

Once you are aware of "Fitts' law" and "Chesterson's Fence" it is easy to see the new design as amateur hour. As GP mentions, yes also folks hate change, but you are a bit too eager to dismiss valid complaints.
