Do you have a source for that?

Assuming we use the hydrogen conversion process you mentioned, and have fitted the 1000's of square miles of solar panels it would need - I find it hard to believe that the US throws away 90 billion kg of carbon-rich domestic waste every year (apparently, the US gets through about 15 billion gallons of jet fuel per year).

Obviously, even if this is true, we then need to address the other 94% of liquid fossil fuel use.

Ask HN: How to get revenue from card merchant fees?
I came across a business that offers free service by issuing a card to their customers and earning 1% on merchant fees when the customer uses the card to buy things. They appear to be using Stripe to do this, since that's what their ToS says. But I couldn't find anything about customizable merchant fees on Stripe's website.

How do these merchant fees work? And is this something possible via Stripe?
But according to the email he got, none of the supervisors are employed by the township, so there is no compensations to be determined.
Obvious to whom, and how do you define ‘value’?

I’m not being difficult here, these are tough questions.

Allowing the market to decide value is the option we currently have, and seems to be the fairest so far.

I am sure that it is not optimal, and it has flaws, but no one has yet convinced me that there is a better model.
As far as I can tell it's either a desire for a certain political team to be right, people wanting to be contrarian above all else, and a belief that if an authority says something is likely false it's a conspiracy.

But that's just not true - according to the OP's own retelling the sales person was in obvious distress due to his actions.

So no, this apparently was not "expected" because otherwise they would also just have had a chuckle and wouldn't have reacted like that. And regardless of whether that means the sales person was in the wrong job or not, the fact that that person was in trouble, and OP did nothing to help, means that OP was being a jerk.
Sure. So why is it default on? Dark patterns are just that, even if they can be toggled.
You are indeed being too cynical.

The point of open source (not just a free binary blob) is that you can fix the parts that matter to you.

In the case of companies, they typically work on the parts that matter to them. This has been true since the free software movement started to reach into businesses, with companies like Cygnus (of course) but also Sun, SGI, IBM etc all working just on their own platforms.
Recruiters are sales people paid on commission. A good chunk of their day represents them trying to get people on the phone and close them.

is this level of industrial/scientific espionage even a critical factor in our current world

Yes. It completely bankrupted and destroyed the Canadian company Nortel [1]. Sure there were other problems that led to the downfall of Nortel, but this was a major contributing factor and has had a big impact on the Canadian tech ecosystem.

At first I walked away fairly confident at what I had read. Later when I came across the responses, things got more uncertain. The example which quickly comes to mind is that most if not all the prophylaxis studies were not reviewed in Scott's analysis.

Because most things in healthy programs aren't APIs, but just plain data: records, sum types and composites thereof (arrays, stacks, queues, whatever).

Fred Brooks:

> Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won’t usually need your flowcharts; they’ll be obvious.

In that situation, having to sprinkle "public"/"pub" all over them is very noisy and unproductive. It's the worst with Rust's enums, which require you to declare the visibility of variants and enclosed types of variants separately, so you see a couple "pub"-s per line of an enum definition.

That may be an argument for separate keywords for plain data, and for "APIs", although I'm not sure how I feel about it. Underneath it's just coupling of data with functions. Some languages have separate keywords for those, some don't.
All of this incomprehensible complexity just so our genes can compete against other genes in their mindless drive for survival. It's kind of sad.

Why is this weird, if this is an elected position? Doesn't he need to be sworn in for the position to be official?
Yes we do, but "this tastes terrible" still doesn't tell me what that means without additional context. It could be terrible because its spoiled. It could be terrible because the person doesn't like that food.

Same with "clean code". I think alot of people would agree that a 10000 line program where all the code lives in the main function is not "clean". But that doesn't mean this is what someone means when he says "this isn't clean code".
> Are you all really here in 2022, being like "we can't risk a Chinese national from even seeing our American semiconductor research, they will steal it and use it against us?"

There are a number of issues at play here and I can speak to several of them, having either helped the federal government directly or having knowledge of industrial espionage in my industry at the time (semiconductors).

Some technology is export-controlled in the United States, full stop. Semiconductor research may absolutely be export-controlled and thus may not leave the United States or be shown to foreign nationals. Any researcher's talk, paper, research, materials, etc. must undergo an export controls review first before it leaves the United States or is shown to a foreign national. This is SOP at every research lab in the United States.

If you do not disclose information when asked by the federal government as part of an investigation impacting national security, then woe be unto you. I don't know what else to say there. It appears that this may be what caused this gentleman the issues outlined by the NY Times.

Industrial espionage is absolutely a thing in the semiconductor industry. I was once told how Hynix pilfered fab designs from Samsung. The loss was estimated to be $1 billion. I am personally aware of other lesser IP loss through the hands of careless engineers.

I hope this helps answer your question. It is absolutely a thing in 2022.
That’s precisely my point. Going to the movies to look for something to act outraged about is safe, easy and cheap. Doing actual counter-intelligence is dangerous, hard and expensive.

The FBI being distracted with this nonsense is probably the greatest gift the real spies could have hoped for.
As if Russia was relevant here. He leaked info about your own state spying on you. If you just accept that because said government points its finger to a far off useful antagonist, like it has done in the last election, I don't think throwing around terms like useful idiot is too adequate.
I've been to a few of their shows, what an experience. The last show of theirs that I went to was at Saint Vitus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A guy donned a full ghillie suit and was floating around the pit. About a quarter through their set, he set up a folding table in the middle of the floor, sat down, and proceeded unwrap a giant bowl of seafood -- mussels, clams, calamari, you name it. It stunk up the whole place. The whole experience was bizarre, and thats generally been the theme of every show I've been to.
I just bought OSTEP from Amazon and it also has the problems you’re describing.
I really wanted to believe in this but the "evidence" is pretty poor: https://github.com/jonathandata1/2022_beijing

I read a lot of security reports and you don't include a screenshot of random Wireshark packets with red arrows saying "This shows data leaving the iPhone". And this is the first one of a series of non-sense screenshots.

This means at least one thing: this was written in a way to be picked up and mentioned by larger media and non-tech people.

So, to me it sounds more like if someone with a stake in all this said "Hi researcher. Here are 10K USD. Find me something controversial to shout about on Twitter and to point fingers. Just add some technical terms here and there and we'll be fine.".
Dark patterns are just that. They should be opt in, not opt out.

Agreed totally to just uninstall it.
The authors didn't "create a huge trial". This was just an observational study. While observational studies are less powerful than randomized controlled trials they're not necessarily bad science. Much of our current knowledge in other areas of medicine came from observational studies.

While this study is rather weak and doesn't give us any really definitive results it is a useful data point that can be rolled into future meta analyses.
I think your assumption that he meant the Christian monotheistic god may be the problem. Maybe that's precisely what they meant, but I find more often in these kind of discussions its meant as a placeholder for "The event/entity/unknown source of the universe."

I'm an atheist myself and find no issue in the use of the word God here. We don't know with any certainty how the universe was spawned into being, using God as a sort of shorthand to state as much isn't a problem.
Accessibility API need a semantic layer that the DOM provide. You can't just make every arbitratry gui accessible. The app developers will have to pay the price (more development time).

> If you’re trying to scroll deep into conversations or someone’s Tweets, it’s reasonable to expect that you’d need to become a user of the website.

This change happened during last summer. Funilly enough it was just ad I considered getting an account to share a bike trip live, but:

1. I didn’t want my new account to help their A/B-testing.

2. I didn’t want family and friends to have to sign up to follow my trip.

End result: No account, and I read twitter less since they don’t value my passive engagement.
The river area in Branson, MO is similar. 5 or 6 stories of condos above an outdoor mall with lots of stores and restaurants.

Hard to pick a neutral source about this, how about this:

> According to his testimony, if an Asian-American applicant with certain characteristics (like scores, GPAs, and extracurricular activities, family background) would result in a 25% statistical likelihood of admission, the same applicant, if white, will have a 36% likelihood of admission.

(And that is with standardized testing in the mix, it stands to reason that the gap will grow with further emphasis on "personality".)

I don't have data to prove that these statistics apply to Chinese-Americans specifically, that's an assumption on my side. Whether this is morally wrong is up for debate, but I thought it was relevant in the context of national competitiveness.
I want to know if they’re using Rosetta on their M1 test machine or running it natively. Hopefully this patch leads to a proper darwin/arm64 release so I don’t have to use this weird fork[0] with a private GitHub Action to get a native build. The Rosetta version is considerably slower.

Don't forget that every single button in the UI lags.

Start an episode, pause immediately because you just realized you forgot something in the kitchen? Oops now you disabled subtitles because that UI button was still busy popping up (and subtitles are necessary to understand their whispers without being DEAFENED BY LOUD SCENES without adjusting volume by 50% every 2 minutes).

Want to hide the UI because you just finished navigating the menus to re-enable those subtitles and hit the back button? Oops now you go back to the main overview because the first click did register, it just took a minute for the TV to respond and now your second click takes you back. Now have fun scrolling down five rows three columns to find the thing you were watching 1 second ago and do this dance again.

This is not helped by LG shipping a CPU literally slower than a raspberry pi's in a €550 2019 TV, but other apps do not have this problem. It's too bad Prime has some exclusives like The Expanse, I look forward to finishing the couple series we had in the queue and cancelling Prime again.

Is this simulation on the atomic level with full all interatomic physics processes simulation or there were made some simplifications?

All interatomic interactions are simulated separately for each atom or they made statistical estimations and used some assumptions? Those two are absolutely two different types of simulation.
MITM phishing attacks (also called real time phishing).

If someone just put a fake domain that proxies everything between you and the server (with fake domain with HTTPS... which he social engineered you to get on)

Looks like FIDO2 2FA only sign the challenge response against the server certificate available locally (= the phishing domain) so just passing it to the original server will fail. Also, the attacker can't just re-sign the challenge response after you, because the challenge was sent from the original server already encrypted with the public key of the user (stored from the registration phase). So only the registered user can see the challenge and respond to it.

This leaves only 2 options to do a phishing attack: 1) Get a valid certificate for the original domain [1] 2) force downgrade the user to old TOTP [2]

So what? He turned up, and they said they'd swear him in, then sent a letter saying they wouldn't. If the first auditor was not needed, why not mention that at the meeting?

It's also not clear the "rules and procedures" are being followed here - it appears normal to swear in Auditors after their election, is it unreasonable to expect that process to be figured out beforehand?

Wow, this post has triggered some emotion from me. I find it incredibly traumatic working with “engineers” that have this point of view. The pain individuals like this inflict on others is real! What they are really saying is that they don’t care about their fellow developers, their productivity nor happiness.

This view will lead to “good enough” code that always appears to “work” but fails easily and creates more work for everyone else.

God forbid you actually care about a project and get stuck working with someone like this on it. You’re going to have some sleepless nights.

I always give side eye to the accounting that considers lost sales opportunities to be losses.

Not saying Hynix did nothing wrong, only that that number assumes a lot of factors that are in no way guaranteed (stability of the market, no third player independently developing innovations that would create an attractive alternative for customers, the ability of the stealing company to implement the design they've acquired, etc.).
JOBS Act, IEOs (cryptocurrency based) and AngelList do similar stuff as Kickstarter. Kickstarter is also used.

My understanding is there are legal issues, many which the JOBS Act resolved. The laws are there to protect the not so well informed investor from losing their money.
Interesting question. Press article aside, GPGPU applications like scientific compute, ML etc. have all mostly gravitated to Nvidia / CUDA.

Not working in this space, I'm curious why this is the case. Is there something inherently better about CUDA? Or is it that Nvidia's performance is somehow better for these tasks? Or maybe something else?
At that time, McCarthy had been in the Senate for all of five months, not nearly long enough for him to start grilling people for having associations with the Communist party.

Of course, few communists openly come out and say they are making communist propaganda. It's a bit silly to think Capra would have been one of them, or that "It's a Wonderful Life" doesn't also celebrate the banker George Bailey (portrayed by conservative Republican Jimmy Stewart), but I can understand why the government would want to monitor communist groups, even if they get it laughably wrong from time to time.

I imagine they’ll get it sorted through swearing in twitter guy and then ignoring him as much as possible for the next 6 years, after which they’ll make sure to get someone one of their friends to run.

But who knows, maybe they’ll get along.
