I would quote myself from another thread where I said that Apple is only about design, but since we're talking security, I see always apple as exploiting having a very low market share for desktop and nil market share as server, but in terms of practical security I see posts like this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adriankingsleyhughes/2012/04/25...

But I also like to share these kind of posts when I want to make example about like the absolute lack of knowledge in terms of security of apple, like having the guts to release to public a system where password files / shadow and sudoers are world writable just shows that they really have no idea what they're doing

And I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy or like justify this kind of posts like mine as "HN is notoriously against apple" I would more likely say that HN audience is a bit into tech, and if you are into tech and understand how systems work then you can't just ignore these kind of things when you see them so you forcefully end up just trying to dodge a system like apple

So in that case, shouldn’t voters in CA be able to refuse to subsidize rural states? We should have lower federal taxes and let each state fend for itself.

Notaries are liable with their property for negligence. Notaries are also ensured. You can actually recover damages when a notary did it.
That's a common misconception - a government may technically have infinite money, but they're still comparing the cost of things. At some point (for example) sending people to put bugs in someone's house is cheaper, or 24 hour surveillance becomes cheaper.

The goal of the defender is to push the cost of attacking the software above the cost of doing something else.
All I can do is express my thanks. In IL it seems like my concerns are, at best, ignored altogether. I get that I am low wagie nobody, but I do vote so I am sometimes really surprised about the non-responses I get ( if I get any at all ).

Ah... brings back so much memory. I majored in lithography. Larger stones were quite expensive back then ($2k).

There's something very calming about the lithography.

Most videos don't show all the tedious steps that go into lithography, including hand grinding of stone to remove previously etched image.

You can see it here. https://youtu.be/JHw5_1Hopsc?t=39
This is true but for me a pizza is a fallback plan for a long day or plans that fell through. So it is almost always the same or very similar order and I just want it now. My local pizza place actually asks if I want to repeat my last order or hear their specials. I can (to your point, re-) order a pizza in like 9 seconds.

Is this in the 80s or, like, 2019? I've never heard of this "will you double it" thing before. Is it just because the other local shop did it, or would you expect this to work at any Dominos?
Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if a pure-Go alternative would be slower. Someone remarked upthread that the same author wrote a C-to-Go transpiler specifically to make a pure-Go sqlite and it was (somewhat unsurprisingly) considerably slower than the CGo version. It's possible (and to an extent, likely) that the transpolar was generating suboptimal Go code, but I would wager that a hand-written version would also be slower.
I agree with the author and you. I think Dominos is the exception though. Pizza places aren't nearly as painful as other places that have javascript bloated, every single interaction has a spinner, there's too much whitespace ordering apps.

Looking at you Applebee's.
As someone who generally agrees with the authors' "this system is silly" viewpoint, I completely agree about this article. It's very "preaching to the choir", while also having the sort of mean tone that would have undermined strong arguments, let alone the weak ones here. Quite disappointing from a well-credentialed voice.
Usually they differentiate. Apprentices for a skilled trade usually have some sort of training. This is especially true for union positions in licensed trades (like electricians). Apprentices eventually move into a position to do the job, whereas unskilled laborers just continue to move materials around.

"No one complains about having too many apprentices around when they can get you everything you need without you needing to get off the ladder."

Except when they are "clueless". Then they'll waste your time by bringing you the wrong thing.
If this is a topic you're curious about, look into some of Sergey Nazarov's interviews and/or pay attention to the topic of "cryptoeconomic security" in relation to oracles. Basically the idea is to have a system where the cost of corrupting the information on a network is always far more than the potential gain. Whether or not this is possible or will succeed is a question mark, but I'd think many potential objections and question marks have been addressed.
“Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was written in four months and published in 1932, a year after the first appearance of The Scientific Outlook. Huxley's book mirrored Russell's prognostications on a number of points, from the divison of the population into Alphas, Betas and Epsilons, to the removal of sexual restrictions. There is no evidence that Huxley borrowed directly from Russell, but the two figures moved in overlapping circles, and one can imagine these conceits going the rounds of Bloomsbury dinner parties.”. “[James Burnham's The Managerial Revolution] was published in 1941 and is a rather more sober work of political analysis. Burnham, writing early in the Second World War, argued that the world would soon divide into two or three superstates. Within each a self-elected oligarchy would gain power and maintain a permanent readiness for war, using scientific techniques of surveillance and propaganda to keep the rest of the populace under control. It is unclear whether Russell really inspired Burnham, but Burnham certainly influenced a yet futher dystopic vision. George Orwell not only read Burnham's book, but commented on it through the 1940s in a series of articles and pamphlets.”, and “As Russell himself observes, in the Prefatory Note to the second edition of The Scientific Outlook in 1949 ‘The material of the last few chapters may now seem more familiar that at the time of the first edition, since it has been popularised in two widely read books, Huxley's Brave New World and Burnham's Managerial Revolution. I do not suggest that my book had any influence on either of these, but the parallels are interesting, and will, I hope, persuade my readers that my fears are more than an individual phantasy.’” - from an introduction of a further reprint of The Scientific Outlook by Bertrand Russell.

“But Huxley clearly plundered Chapter 15 of Russell’s book, ‘Education in a Scientific Age’. Russell here departs from his expository mode (he was an incorrigible pontificator) to try his arm at a satirical prophecy about the socially engineered and class stratified society of the scientifically managed future. Children, he predicts, will be conditioned ‘some time before birth’ (by ‘thermal treatment of the embryo’) for their station in life. Manual workers (like Huxley’s Epsilons) ‘will be discouraged from serious thought and in general will be bred for patience and muscle rather than brain’. The society of the scientific future will be tranquillized by ‘new forms of drunkenness’ (i.e. ‘Soma’ in Brave New World). The only problem in this perfect world state will be ‘the psychology of the governors’ (i.e. disruptive Alpha-pluses, like Bernard Marx in Brave New World). If there were patent-protection in fictional scenarios any lawyer would have taken Russell’s case. The whole framework of Brave New World is to be found in the fifteenth chapter of The Scientific Outlook.” - from the Editorial Review below the fold at: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-World-Aldoux-Huxley-ebook/d...
Just in case somebody's wondering — and I really hope someone is — it's not just a physical issue. Even worse than that, it's also a 'functional' one. In other words, even though the sensor is right at the front of the mouse's underside, you can't just plug it in and, in desperation, rest it on the very edge of your desk to move the pointer. For some reason, plugging it in to charge causes it to completely cease to function.

Back in the day in NYC, I always ordered simply a ‘large pizza’. Cheese only and thin crust were assumed.
How many printings is the drawing of the pattern on the stone good for? That to me feels like a main limitation of this technique from achieving large volumes back in the day.
Mystic crystals - The age of Aquarius
Yes! Today I bought 20 identical poorly-injection-molded T-fittings for aquarium air hose, and I was thinking about your comments. It occurred to me that the existence of injection molding strongly favors designs that have several instances of the same part, like four identical wheels or 15 identical spring clips.

In some cases I think there are materials that are a lot easier to shape to make a mold pattern than whatever you're going to make your final part out of. Wood is the traditional choice, except that wax is the even more traditional choice, and clay, styrofoam, foamed waterglass, and pumice also come to mind. I guess in theory polycaprolactone might work, too, and as you say, poly(lactic acid) is a popular modern choice, sometimes painted or sanded to smooth out the print lines. And I've been wondering if it's feasible to strengthen aluminum foil by spray-painting or cathodic mineral deposition in order to make such one-off items, because aluminum foil is very easy to form, usually too easy. Lots of stuff to try!

I actually like this, in theory. Our local Jets does this and it makes it really simple to reorder pizza since all you do is look back 2 or 3 messages and copy the previous message. However, the implementation is not so great, it seems like randomly the pizza shop does not get the order or respond to it.
Why do truckers have vaccine mandates? They are sitting alone in a truck 99% of the time...

Israel has neither an authoritarian nor a semi-authoritarian regime. From your analogy I think you are misunderstanding NSO and its relation to the Israeli government. NSO is not a civilian cover for government operations. It’s an Israeli arms manufacturer. Its foreign sales require approval by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and as such can be facilitated by the government based on diplomatic considerations. This is not unlike other arms manufacturers in the US or in western countries in general.
Hmm, I'm actually not sure. It hasn't happened a ton so I usually just filter out spam after it arrives.

As far as delivery pizza goes, Dominos is actually not bad now. They upped their game considerably. Still not as good as my local mom & pop shop, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a Dominos pizza.
The difference is as a sender I would know that you parsed each of my questions, understood them and decided to either not answer them now or just never answer them. Replying to one is ambiguous, if it was actually important it just leads to having to follow up again, restating everything that wasn't acknowledged.
Yes that was widely reported and some naive participants feel slighted that way but thats not controversial and is a weak argument

this isnt like a ticketmaster convenience fee, everything on that network costs that much
Big pizza chain - I prefer app and I expect to find a coupon for a deal

Local pizza place - most times I have no choice but phone and it's all good. Usually local pizza place is better tasting but more expensive. You know you're gonna pay more.

> I still have high hopes EVs will shift public consciousness about our environment and the way we live our lives, but true enthusiasm still seems to be for heavy vehicles people can spend more time in.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while and so far I understood that: people posting here live in a bubble, people doing their regular jobs at a shop, hospital, local doctor, builders, people who have children, bills, mortgages to pay, for them what counts is next paycheque. They won’t care about ev vs ice saving the planet because saving the planet isn’t solving any of their immediate problems. And those problems are basically being squeezed tax wise and having to earn enough to cover for inflation.

There are just so many people out there for whom sitting at a coffee shop for 20 minutes and waiting for the car to charge isn’t an option.

Heh! I am definitely not rational, I know this about myself. I grew up... not in poverty, but poor enough that I recognize my irrational fear of going back to that life, so $50k would be enough for me to act well beyond its utility, but I am certainly not rational.

And I don't really want to argue with you about this. I'm referencing the "marginal utility of money" concept, and I think it applies here, and you don't. I'm okay with that! I think as long as we both agree that it's a thing, even if we disagree on where that line is, I'll be satisfied.
The economy did look good under Trump, except when he got on Twitter and started commenting. Did we forget he flirted with a war in Syria? Each time he mouthed off it caused market uncertainty and this was before we even got to covid. He approved oil drilling in protected wetlands that impacted the oil market - and not in a good way - it was thought that this would immediately be reversed by the next administration. Business can't build infrastructure against 4-year opportunities. I hold him entirely responsible for the massive inflation: If we had taken our response seriously from the beginning, and not undermined the CDC's messaging in his press conferences, it wouldn't have cost us so much now. He joked that he wouldn't wear a mask in their first press conference on the virus.

You lost me entirely at the end when you said we should privatize healthcare, protection, justice, law-making... I don't know if you're saying this should be privatised to a company, or a small organization within a township. Either way people have done stupid, hideous things by being sheltered from other communities and with limited resources. I don't want to go back to the days of labor strikes that resulted in company security shooting workers. I look forward to the day my healthcare isn't tied to my employer. I certainly don't want my home owners association deciding on case law.
> supposedly smart engineers

Imo its clear that a lot of the critical discourse has radicalized to such a degree that it is essentially taken as a given that there are no smart engineers in crypto. You then obviously don't need to ask yourself this question.
I'll resist[0] the impulse to make fun of these artists as having an inflated sense of their own importance, and simply join others in noting that this kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated. It sets a horrible precedent, no matter what one thinks about Joe Rogan.

Edit: Too late now to save myself from downvote land, but I just spoke poorly. I meant it shouldn't be tolerated in the form of Spotify acquiescing to the demands. Obviously the artists can do whatever they want.

I assumed they put the port on the bottom quite intentionally to prevent you from using the mouse with a cord/tail, you know, like it'd be gauche to go to a nice steakhouse and order a well done steak and request high-fructose corn syrup sauce to slather across it. Seems in character for Apple.
> There is almost always a WHY.

Right: to get rich. We (engineers) are just as hungry for capital at any cost as everybody else, there’s no nobility.
Right, but there's a difference between someone who went because they had to and got out, and career types.

Canadas government wants to punish people that don't want to be vaccinated, for political gain. The connection between rules and public health was lost a long time ago. These are all just populist measures to solicit votes.

We have one of the worlds highest vaccination rates, and where rates are highest, the rules constantly get more strict. Don't think for a second Canadian politicians are making these (illegal) rules because of public health. Long ago, Canadians have voluntarily complied with all advice in high enough percentages that the rest is is meaningless.

Everything about formatting is arbitrary, as long as it's consistent in a given codebase to the point of predictability (e.g. 90% consistent, not necessarily 100% consistent).

To elaborate a bit, sure, there are arguments for everything talked about here, and they're valid, but the marginal utility of any one choice is dwarfed by opting out of the arguments entirely, and just going with whatever Black has selected as a default.
Well done black team! For me it is a fantastic tool which saves some brain clock cycles when applied, both when reading and writing, which is valuable to me. Thank you.
I hate talking on the phone. I'd rather pay a huge price markup than have to do that.

Delivery works so well in my area that i just make some taps on my phone and food arrives at my door with no human contact. Incomparable experience compared to talking on the phone and then going out and picking it up.

Even within ecosystem I get confused. Can I use a Toro 60V chainsaw battery with their 60V snowblowers at reduced runtime? Or vice versa?

I bet the answer on that kind of thing will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

edit: thinking further, can I just get an extension cable and put the battery pack in a backpack? I'd rather that than carry it around in a chainsaw form factor.
Average laptops are many times more powerful than a Raspberry Pi, and distributed computing with proof-of-work means nodes can contribute as much power as they have/want; no arbitrary design limits are needed.

Also the comparison was instructions-per-second between Ethereum's network and a raw CPU. Of course this trade-off in speed comes at the gain of decentralization and other features, however it remains to be seen whether that has really provided any net benefit overall.
> So I still need a DNS name

False. You can use Ethereum Name Service. ENS is an on-chain version of DNS that is not controlled by a centralized gatekeeper.

>I still need a server, I still need storage

False. You can use IPFS and Filecoin to store and serve files not controlled by a centralized gatekeeper.

Google has hired R. M. Larsen, who wrote PROPACK[1], and uses it internally.

A heck of a lot of computation is still powered by Fortran. Ever used SciPy / NumPy? Deep down, FORTRAN powers it, via BLAS/LAPACK[2]

A few years back in Cadence, we were still running a lot of FORTRAN code for computational lithography. Not only it's fast (and parallelizable), there are many algorithms that had been fine-tuned over the many years that you can reuse.

Say, we needed to pick a gradient descent implementation for an algorithm that used it. Guess what language the L-BFGS[3] implementation we ended up using was written in - no need, it's FORTRAN, from the year 1983.

I go to one of our little local shop and place the order to go along with a beer while I wait. Drink the beer, read on my Kindle, chill to their music, and before you know it the pizza is done and I'm on my way home.

But then I haven't ordered from a chain pizza place in years. The little local shops are far better, and appreciate your direct business over using any service that adds fees, etc. I'm more than happy to pay more to help keep them around.
This is more of a response to people not paying attention. If all this time is being spent on email and chat and meetings it gets frustrating continually covering the same ground where it is obvious not much attention was paid the first time.
That's a poor analogy, since the artists are walking away from the situation entirely. If a friend of yours starts inviting over someone who does things you find distasteful, you have the right to stop spending time with them. There is no ethical issue with this, because anyone can exercise their freedom of association, which also happens to be a right protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
