This will obviously happen when there is no enforcement against it. If the last two years showed us anything it’s that the federal and state governments are all talk when it comes to COVID and can’t be bothered to enforce any of their so-called mandates.

You know what would help fight these forgeries? Visible consequences for producing and possessing them.
You keep saying this is your lived experience, and a lot of other people are saying that it is too rare to be worth making a presumption without putting in the work to go look.

What I’ll say to you now is that if you are actually looking for the reasons, and all you can find are people making your life hard for the glorification of their ego, you have a much bigger problem than whether it’s worth presuming that there is no reason for code you want to remove:

You are located in a local pessimum. Consider working on a different code base. Ask yourself what is going on that you keep running into all this code written by people you disrespect so much.
More importantly, if the content is actually relevant to the user's search, does it matter whether the title is clickbait or not?

Clickbait pisses me off when it's used to waste my time, but a good search engine wouldn't give me results that waste my time.

In other words, it could give me a relevant result with a clickbait title.. I guess that'd be a little annoying but I don't know if I would want Google to be the judge on what's clickbait or not, and even then I don't feel like it's their place to override titles. I wouldn't want useful pages be downranked just for having a poor title.

Is it though? A settlement in a civil case is money in exchange for not pursuing further civil legal action.

A situation of "we're giving you money so that you don't report a crime" (which is implied by "turning in to the authorities") is more like extortion/bribery than it is a settlement.

> does using the `any` type result in an additional memory lookup if the wrapped type is a sized primitive like an int, or is the value stored directly alongside the type information?

The answer to this question is complicated because it's changed several times.

Prior to Go 1.4, it stored word-sized or smaller values directly without allocation.

Go 1.4 started a big GC rework, part of which required fields not contain possibly-pointer-possibly-other-values. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8405

Obviously this made people unhappy, so it kicked off several rounds of optimizations to claw back common cases over several versions, the most recent of which was 1.15's introduction of 256 interface constants which are automatically used for any numeric value that fits in a single byte (including booleans). 1.9 also made constant strings preallocate matching constant interfaces if it sees them passed as an interface.

This is also why there's so much benefit to inliner improvements; any inlining improvement translates rapidly into devirtualization improvements.

I think Microsoft will just stream Xbox games through the cloud for Game Pass subscribers. That way, you get Xbox games on PCs, Macs, smart TVs, you name it.

All fiction is a lie, by its very definition.

After all, it claims the unreal as real. Fiction, lies.

The difference with things like fiction in books and movies, for entertainment, is that the listener of the lie, knows it is a lie, and listens for entertainment.

It is not a lie, pretending to be true.
I'm not sure if this is directly related, but: I have PTSD & OCD, and when I peruse Google Scholar for information about toxicology, or the effects of air pollution on the brain, or how cats potentially carry T. Gondii & can infect you, or how we absorb things such as BHT transdermally through our hands from holding a cars polymer steering wheel, et cetera; I feel that it fuels my mental illness in a great way. If I did not possess all of this information, then I'd probably be significantly moreso functional than I am.

It feels as if they are "information hazards" as I act exactly as the people do in your aneurysm example; I wash my hands for 10+ minutes when the risk is probably nominal, and so on. That 0.5% risk from your example absolutely "plays on my mind".

>"you'll never win a Nobel prize if you don't decontaminate your hands because the pollutant will absorb through your skin, into your blood, and then into your brain, and probably lower your IQ!"

Your imagination runs wild in such desperation.
Doesn't the tax usually come when the consensus about the societal harm carries more weight than the money produced by that harm?

Or at least enough weight to be competitive. Sin taxes have a way of permanently tying the sin (at some reduced level) to the general budget.

I don't think we're there yet. People can get plenty mad at "tech" without connecting the ad-tech dots.
The TL;DR of this report is that the "chip shortage" has been confirmed to be in the following nodes:

> Microcontrollers that are primarily made of legacy logic chips, including, for example, at 40, 90, 150, 180, and 250 nm nodes

> Analog chips including, for example, at 40, 130, 160, 180, and 800 nm nodes; and

> Optoelectronics chips including, for example, at 65, 110, and 180 nm nodes.

I had a feeling that these were the class of chips that were the problem. The car industry is well known to use the cheaper "legacy" nodes. Furthermore, the older nodes are on 200mm wafers, which necessarily makes far fewer chips (by area) than the more modern 300mm wafers.

--------

For us to be running low on "legacy" is pretty interesting, because there's less profit in these chips. But its also lower tech, there are more manufacturers who can make 180nm nodes than who can make 5nm nodes.

I don't think this is in response to anything specific. It's more an acknowledgement of an ongoing "boiling frog" problem.

I recently heard Eliezer Yudkowsky make this comparison in the (somewhat) related domain of AI safety: let's say you gained reliable intel that aliens were invading in exactly 30 years. Do you begin acting immediately, or do you wait? Anything you could do now, you could probably do next year. But the problem is, there's no obvious point at which to act; on any given day, you keep kicking the ball down the road.

The same logic applies even if the length of time is unknown (X years). There is a high probability of future crises regarding both AI safety, and authoritarian states leveraging surveillance and social algorithms. In both cases, if we wait for a clear instigating event, it may be too late.

> the company will go though a burst of "blog productivity"

One of the most insightful comments I ever read on HN pointed out that marketing folks are good at selling things, period, and that includes selling things internally. So when nascent companies are wondering why the product doesn't sell itself, the first thing they do is hire a Director of Marketing. That person promises deliverables from day 1, and what's more deliverable/visible than a blog? Then they leave -- in my experience, the typical marketing exec's tenure at a startup is about a year -- and no one else feels like putting in the work. Also, by that time, most people have seen that the blog never really drove engagement in the first place.

It's kinda scary how fast all this happened. Try taking your kid to an amusement park without surrendering your personal history and current whereabouts. They don't even care to support other avenues because they already know almost no one is going to turn around after arriving, after seeing kids' puppy-dog eyes.

Recent pandemic was the perfect excuse to hit fast-forward on eliminating cash (although not a major transmission factor) and privacy along with it. Never let a crisis go to waste, as they say.

Dramatic escalation of the conflict between NATO and Russia is a matter of weeks. You can be sure governments in the west will use that 'good crisis' to crack down on civil liberties.
Some states tried using positive feedback in the form of lotteries, prizes, or even just paying people to get the vaccine. I don't think those measures were very successful.
Anything is possible but I would hope that if I were in a virtual world, there would at very least be a greeter that periodically steps in and grounds my virtual-reality.

I think I have anecdotal evidence of the corollary on this: poor sleep quality leads to not-good academic performance.

When I was 20, I had an almost Fight-Club level of insomnia, where I would go multiple days at a time without sleeping, not for lack of trying. I would quit caffeine, bike multiple miles a day, try eating healthy, eventually getting a prescription for ambien which had so-so results but for a period of about 4-5 months I got the worst sleep of my life. My already-mediocre college performance took a steep nosedive, leading me to eventually drop out. It was hard for me to justify to myself going to class when I was, at some level, in physical pain.

Fortunately, I haven't had anywhere near that level of insomnia in 11 years, so the only thing I can think of was that it was the final throws of puberty.
This is a disgusting, ridiculous comparison.
When you get down to that many details - it’s no longer sleep management but life management. You’ve had to completely rework your entire life in order to somehow get this one aspect of your life to be better.

Which is good for you but doesn’t seem completely reasonable for everyone.

I wish people realized that level of change is just beyond reasonable for most folks out there. There are too many things that are outside of control for folks. A lot of them due to financial troubles and there’s nothing they can realistically do in the next few years about it. Maybe they get themselves a better paying job and so forth but that might take a decade until it’s sufficient. Even then - they suffer more for the whole decade of their life.

But the FDA isn't executing 100 people (or corporations) per year. FDA isn't even indiscriminately halting progress. Your argument has no premise.

The FDA regulates with cause and investigates all new medical products before they can be brought to market. They don't willy nilly approve some and nix others.

Bandwidth is typically what I’ve measured. Never had a noticeable issue with packet loss. Or latency.

Edit: the difference between my work laptop (wireless) and my gaming machine (wired) in my office is a mere 5ms to the same external server. That’s in the “meh” territory for me.

Currently I have five APs inside and outside my house, and they’re averaging about 5-6 clients per AP. The really network intensive stuff is connected via Ethernet to avoid crowding out the airwaves. In my case that means the Apple TV and my gaming rig, both of which are conveniently non mobile and close to wall plates.

The issue for my work laptop is that the cheaper USB C hubs only pull 100mbps. So I can get 100mbps wired, 450mbps wireless, or the full 950 by replacing my hub. On the balance the wireless is more convenient, especially with a sit/stand desk like mine making more wires more annoying. If I replace the hub I’ll reconsider, but 450 is plenty for my needs.
I think it's a little unfair to assume that I would do that
Apple and Google are far and away the biggest monopolies of our time, yet the amount of scrutiny they receive is thin.

Both of these companies illegally collude and have even been caught doing it.

Apple owns 50%+ of modern American consumer computing. They tax all of it. You can't repair your stuff and have to buy into an expensive ecosystem. You can't run a non-Apple browser or your own software. The 1984 dream of trusted computing that we bought hook, line, and sinker and are now paying the protection racket price for.

As much as I hate ads, their tight control and singular policy changes have repeatedly caused multi-billion dollar ripples in the industry. Facebook is having to build a new market. That's a sign of a monopoly.

Google controls the web. They control search. The browser. Slowly the web is turning into Google hosted AMP, sites bearing adsense, and sites that only run in Chrome.

Both of them sell movies and music and are morphing into studios. They're both trying to get into payments and dominate fintech. This is too broad to compete with.

Both of them need a hard regulatory shaking.

By the way, it isn't in your own interest to do this either. By posting this way, all you do is discredit your own view and reinforce the other side. You give people who might be open to your view a fresh reason to reject it—after all, if fuming and fulminating is the best that you can come up with, your case must be terribly weak. This is a poor trade for you to make in exchange for a moment of internet venting.

Not only that, but if your view happens to actually be correct, then what you're doing has the side effect of discrediting the truth, which is not in any of our interests. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

Since I use Yubikeys in PIV mode with PKCS#11, it works just fine to use its 2048bit RSA.

Does it feel like it was pretty deliberate that these vaccine cards were designed in such a way as to be relatively easy to fake - or at the very lease, not designed to be hard to copy. I'm always impressed when I go to Mexico about the quality of the immigration card with the embossed/hologram like headers, that you get. If vaccine cards had looked like that it would have reduced counterfeits significantly. I'm 100% in on vaccine mandates, and mask mandates, and (hyper-local) lockdowns when appropriate - but I'm also really glad the United States didn't go all big brother on Government Tracking/Documentation on this stuff.
> Have fun with those ghosts of yours.

Thanks. Will do.

What do you mean by this? What's a power elite; doesn't it, in a democracy, rule with the approval of the society, and why would one be happy with a power elite's policy that lets it intrude into your private life anyway?
950 down, 50 up. Wifi will pull 450 easy, but my hub will only do 100, despite claims to the contrary.

450 is good enough for my use case, so it’s easier to just not worry about it and avoid running another wire up the sit stand desk. If I upgrade my hub to something that’ll pull the claimed 1G, I might change. Or maybe not. I dunno. Literally nothing I do on the internet can get close to saturating it.

Edit: wifi adds a mere 5ms of latency in my office. I consider this beneath my notice for basically everything but gaming. And even there it probably is meaningless given my relatively low skill level.
So you've been speaking to the first group and need a way to speak to the second group, got it, thanks.

A couple of questions:

1. It seems your product is proactive with respect to cloud costs while Vantage, CloudForecast etc are more on the reactive side of the spectrum?

2. I imagine that relative to Infracost, a cloud asset management tool like CloudQuery https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery would also fit in the reactive bucket?
How would you propose we start doing that?
Same with the tests.

All it says is that the test said positive or negative. It in no way tells you anything about how bad your Covid is, how far along it is, and if you can spread it to others.

The tests are a last minute cash grab.

Stop getting tested and this thing ends. (However I know a bunch of folks who have to be tested anyway because they didn’t want to be boosted, despite getting the initial vax)

We see the same misunderstanding in implemented taxes. Ever notice the ebb and flow of "that new alcoholic beverage" that seems to be popular for a time and then disappear? There were seltzers and wine coolers, etc. Each disappeared as soon as a tax was levied specifically against that beverage.

Likewise, Tennessee laws crushed a single kind of tow truck (called a "wrecker", I think) when they targeted a specific configuration of truck. What you see now is mostly tilt-bed tow trucks because the other kind of truck is more expensive to operate.

Money/access incentivizes people to change their habits. We are creatures that seek a minimal energy expenditure solution. If going to some website and filling in a pdf that generates an "ok" looking picture is required to retain access to a bar, people will do that.

The truth is singular, we don't live in parallel universes. My prior is that 2+2=4. But, of course, this is not a place to fight about everything else. We have a free speech here, so that everyone can just stick to their own thoughts.

I forget where I saw the description but I quite enjoy it, an author was breaking down stories into four general groups: In Melodrama, the hero wins. In Tragedy, the dragon wins. In Comedy, the hero and dragon overcome the root of their conflict, and in Farce they dance around each other without resolving anything.

I wasn't familiar with Sideways, but from your description it sounds like I'd call that a comedy being reinterpreted as a farce. Which can be a great story form as well, but maybe it's reached for too often in fan theories because it's the easiest thing to imagine after melodrama.
Surveillance will be even greater in an offworld colony. But they will, perhaps, be free to set dinner of their own rules and laws as the group sees fit.
There are no classes in Rust, and it's better for it. That's my point, some abstractions like classes are NOT necessary.

There were arguments before Rust 1.0 that people will simply try to emulate classes. But nobody actually bothered, because traits provide enough functionality that you don't actually need to have classes to actually write maintainable and understandable programs.

I'm attacking the exact point of the article that you need X. Maybe you actually don't need X, and your programs will be better for it.
You could argue this only happened because the technology effectively stagnated for so long that private sector actors were able to not only catch up but get ahead. And even then it only caught up because that particular technology was a passion project for a billionaire, and they werent necessarily optimizing towards wealth extraction in the space.

Personally I dont think its a great idea for a country to let their military technology stagnant if military supremacy is a core part of your international doctrine like the United States.
The "public health nightmare" is that such a thing is so easily faked, on top of the fact that no one looks anyway. Has anyone ever seen a QR code being scanned? No? Just wave a screenshot of your friend's digital vaccination record? Yeah, that works. Why even bother with fake cardboard representations? Post that screenshot (with the QR code replaced by a rickroll URL) to your Telegram channel, sorted.

But just now with the pearl-clutching? Because when they handed me my card almost a year ago, I almost didn't hang on to it because my first thought was, "well, no one is going to accept that as proof of vaccination. I could have photocopied it for all anyone knows." Turns out...
Why would the author need to be "unbiased" and what would "unbiased" look like to you ?

Maybe "unbiased" would look more like your crypto-happy post history ?
Yea, this is a problem, too. Know why liquor stores [generally] scrutinize IDs carefully when someone who looks young tries to buy alcohol? Because there are actually legal consequences to them for getting it wrong that governments love to enforce.
Yeah but that hasn't happened. We've had ubiquitous wired ethernet for a decade now?

I know that 10g is big in datacenters, etc but outside of that (and even in offices and videoconferencing scenarios) the bandwidth hasn't been necessary.

Still comes down to specialized settings like video production which already have wired setups for these things for the reliability and predictability.

For consumer and mass market stuff, it's just not there. Video compression is only getting better, and 4k still barely has enough uptake, let alone 8k. And even 8k would comfortably sit within 1g.
Yes, let's just make everyone's private medical info even less private! That's the ticket!
