No, you don't seem to get it. This is happening in Canada. The laws here are different from Seattle. The question of how this law is enforced has zero application to the BLM protests stateside. GoFundMe has made the choice to operate in Canada, and they're going to make inconsistent-looking decisions because the laws simply aren't the same on both sides of the border.
Similar situation with nuts. Most food items classified as "nuts" -- including many with "nut" in the name -- are botanically not nuts, but seeds, drupes, or legumes. [1]

TV news is still a profit-oriented enterprise, not a public service. The ultimate end goal is to attract eyeballs (and therefore advertisers), not to broadcast a specific point of view.

Fox successfully and accurately identified an underserved market, and filled the void. Unfortunately, middle-of-the-road doesn't attract large audiences night after night. MSNBC has done exact same thing as Fox, just on the other end of the spectrum. CNN is an utter failure because it has no identity, its viewpoint is the same as MSNBC's but is inferior in just about every way.
Imperative language variables aren't the same concept as algebra variable anyway. I don't see how one helps with the other.

In fact, it's much better to state this out loud to people learning to program, because statements like 'x = x + 1' added to the name coincidence make things very confusing.
This is so cool! I feel like this is the sort of creative enablement that smart contracts bring to the table.
I've never heard of this chip or GreenArrays. It seems a bit like what Parallella was trying to go for - but again it was a situation where they just didn't get the funding. I've got a couple of the 16-core parallella boards from the same era as this article. They were hoping to have a 1024-core chip after that, but they folded. Funding is a very difficult problem for small companies in this alternative CPU space.
> you trade a crypto with "bad history" for a crypto without bad history and just like that even the strictest exchanges will happily give you an off ramp into fiat

Who is on the other side of that trade? If it's an identifiable DEX then doesn't that only work until cryptocurrencies from that DEX are defined as "bad"?

Now, see, I've been using Photoshop (and Premiere, and After Effects, and...) for all my life, and yet I've somehow never had this problem. Haven't had to pay a single cent, in fact.

With each new headline like this, I feel more and more satisfied in my decision. Why pay more money than you have to for the exact same service? Worse service, even - I don't have to bother with the DRM nonsense.
> maximize the amount of money they pull out of the state

the root "cause" of the problem is that the money spent on education does not produce profit (to fund the endeavour). It is reliant on a taxation scheme, which means the source of funding is adversarial to the payment of wages.

Private schools _do_ align the profit motives, but it also breaks the social good that free public education has. I dunno how one can solve this problem.

I agree. My final recommendation was to treat them with the same responsibilities as media companies which still have a lot of protection, but not as many protections as social media companies.

The truly idiotic thing about it is that they aren't really: cryptography knows no jurisdiction, it's just mathematics. They are limiting the power of law abiding citizens to communicate freely, nobody else.

> Problem solving is not taught on its own, in a vacuum.

Interestingly the idea that you can teach "problem solving" as a unique skill is, last I checked, not supported by the education literature. There is a great deal of evidence that you can teach concrete skills that may be widely applicable, such as how to form or identify a syllogism, but there's no evidence this translates into some greater "problem solving ability" except insofar as as the skills you are taught make more problems tractable.
I offer https://privateemail.com as an option, "best" or not depends on you.

I'm a fan of namecheap. They do not, in my experience, engage in the same dark patterns as other registrars. I found out about their hosted mail service, privateemail, only last year. We needed something for a new business domain with very simple needs and Google Workspace would have been overkill. After using privateemail.com for the last 6 months or so, I can give it only a very basic, but positive review. It's been simple to use, reliable, and inexpensive. The plans come with Google Drive like storage, and they also appear to be developing (or integrating) online document editing which is available with their Ultimate plan (currently $68.88 per year).

We did not have any need to import mail, so I don't know if or how they support that. As far as I've seen they do not have a mobile app, but of course you can use other existing apps including the OS built-in apps. The domain is new and does not receive any spam, so cannot comment on the effectiveness of their spam filtering.
If developers really cared about their customers, then they would charge a lower amount if their costs are reduced. The fact that they don’t do this just gives Apple more fuel for the argument that they don’t need to reduce their prices, either — both should either charge what the market will bear, or they should both reduce their prices when their own costs go down. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

It's not that complicated:

Politicians don't know technology

Politicians hear there's this thing that lets bad guys have fully secure conversations that even 3 letter agencies can't crack.

Politicians see blocking that as a political win.

All of this nonsense about corruption... you think politicians are successfully going to get social media giants to intercept DMs that say bad things about them?

Or this is the first step to a CPP-esque lockdown on free speech?

That's fantasy at best and a disturbing level of paranoia at worst.

How do people at Adobe justify this to themselves? In addition to management who made the decision to fuck over their own customers, there are dozens of others who were involved in implementing this scam. This is near criminal, if not outright theft.

If you are an Adobe employee, you really should talk to your manager about your misgivings working for such an unethical company, and question whether you should still be working there.
Have you tried outlook.com? I migrated from the desktop app and enabled a bunch of ublock filters to get rid of the ad pane, works pretty well for me. Haven't used shared mailboxes though so can't speak to that.
> In fact, no proprietary OS offers different colors other than some accent colors.

Yeah, and that sucks. Why the fuck don't they? Until fairly recently, "the" proprietary OS -- Windows -- did offer different colours for everything, not just some accent colours. Taking that away (with the introduction of Windows 8) was a humongous dick move.

What makes you think that (previously most, and now all) proprietary OS vendors perpetrating this humongous dick move is somehow an argument in its favour?

I would love to know if anyone has looked at data from identical twins re: vaccine side effects and succeptibility to Covid reactions. It seems like a strong reaction to the vaccine might correlate to a strong viral reaction. Are there any studies that refute or corroborate this?
You can always publish a PDF saying “Trust me bro” as an attestation. Works well for Tether.
You also can't fairly compare vaccinated omicron cases + vaccination vs vaccinated omicron cases.

The proper comparison is vaccinated omicron cases + vaccination vs unvaccinated covid.
Yeah but you're almost guaranteed to catch the virus at least once, and even if your symptoms aren't severe, they're likely to be worse had you not been vaccinated. 5-6 days of discomfort from vaccination may have saved you 5-6 days or more of discomfort from covid.
I do agree that the control that just a few large monopolies have over public discourse and information flow is a huge problem.

I think we need to limit their power by ensuring that no company can have such a monopoly, and I'd like to see greater choice and interoperability. Break up the network effect that gives them this control.

I don't think making political viewpoints a protected characteristic is a good way to achieve that, and would cause as many problems as it would solve.
Just don't place it near a window ...

> Nowhere in the spec did I see where ngrok.io should be excluded as a valid rp id, I looked pretty intently but could have missed something. Just like with localhost this was purely a way to cheaply get tls to simulate a more real implementation.

It's in the spec, though you need to click a few links to get to the details. The WebAuthn spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/) has the following in the terms defined by reference:

> is a registrable domain suffix of or is equal to

This references the following page: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/origin.html#is-a-regi...

Which contains a reference to a "public suffix": https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#host-public-suffix

Which references the Public Suffic List: https://publicsuffix.org/list/

Which ngrok.io is on: https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat

So, this limitation is in the spec, it's just not immediately obvious if you skim through the spec to find the problem.

The public suffix list ensures that you cannot accidentally share your authentication domain with others for all kinds of security measures, and WebAuthn is just one of those. Learning about the PSL and its uses (and applied limitations) is imperative if you write any kind of security-related web content, IMO.
I moved to Fastmail last year. Their spam detection is very good from my experience, I have not received any spam, other than marketing "spam" from services I signed up for. Even then, I would ballpark most of those end up in spam. I am also a big fan of their relatively new Masked Email feature[0].

One of my best friends has been a teacher for ~20 years or so. They said the parents and the kids treat you insanely terribly. Society also barely respects what you do and treats you like glorified baby sitting. The only cool part is the 3 months off a year my friend used to use to go live in Italy or something and explore/learn about the world. Most jobs don't provide you with that time.

that's an ignorant statement. There is a ton of development and deployment happening to make the Lightning Network be a high-throughput, low cost way to move bitcoin around the world. A lot of people are working to make bitcoin more useful to more people.
> “Within our present oligarchic, exploitative, irrational, and inhuman world system, the rise of crypto applications will only make our society more oligarchic, more exploitative, more irrational, and more inhuman.”

Varoufakis assumes the current world system will continue to apply but on the scale of human history the current world system is a novelty and there is no reason to expect it to be stable in the long term.

True, the current system needs to create money at a whim so it doesn't want to bitcoin to flourish. It also needs to print money so it can't exist if bitcoin flourishes.
> I remember back with XP everyone was installing additional themes and gadgets to completely customise the look of their system.

That sounds a bit weird: Up to and including Windows 7, you could pretty completely customise the look of your system just using the built-in control panel.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but how about:

* use ZFS (or any snapshot capable file system)

* trigger snapshots at regular (short) intervals (as chosen by you).

ZFS snapshots are very low cost, and you can browse them using your normal file tools. You could reasonably snapshot every (say) 5 minutes, but I wouldn't try every second :)
That will always be true, and how true that is now is way lower than when nobody was vaccinated. There was only upside, now there is not only upside for a merely marginal potential optimization for higher risk profile people. The current variants are weakened versions of the virus that they are essentially the vaccine.
But presumably now he's had 5-6 days of discomfort, the vaccine antibodies will get flushed out and at some point he's going to get COVID and suffer 5-6 days of discomfort from COVID anyway. These first generation vaccines are a bit harsh which would make sense given that they were rushed through. It is unclear if they are suitable for frequent use given the side effects.

COVID isn't going away, everyone's going to catch a couple of varients in the next 60 years assuming they live that long.
Democracy? It’s similar to revolution but without the violence.

No I think the solution is to not get a $5/month vps and expect it to have a good reputation. Maybe if you went with the $100/month hosting provider you wouldn't have needed to spend $500/month on legal threats. Internet addresses aren't fungible. It's a well known concept in telecommunications. One of the reasons why people have always paid a lot more money to have 212 numbers versus 646 numbers. It's the reason why if you want to set up a respectable business, you don't rent property in a high crime neighborhood. Browsers and email clients should ideally have more transparency about the ASNs and service providers who host the websites that people are visiting, so that everyone can develop a mental model of which ones are associated with good things, because right now the only people who are able to have any kind of awareness of this thing are operators who regularly monitor traffic.
I must have missed that! I did meander my way to the public suffix list at some point but I must not have searched it properly. Thanks!
Ask HN: My theory on Earth age after listening to All Randall Carlson
The current ep. of JRE is #1772 Randall Carlson. [0]

I found it fantastic, and I think HN would be interested in it.. but I came to a theory I want to post, based on listening to every podcast this guy has been on.

I personally love to look at mountains and thing about how they were formed.

---

I think that water was on earth a lot earlier than has bee postulated.

I think the earth formed very smoothly and the source of water hit the planet (comet?) - but created a very thick ice shell around the water - and as the planet solidified and vulcanified the ice liquified and caused huge interactions with the landscape, on the scales that Carlson talks about -- and it seems that as the earths core heated, a very large meteor swam hit the earth (as well as the moon) and the many impacts caused volcanism plus exploding and melting the ice, and forming the major mountains and then the alluvial erosion..

Carlson estimates this type of event happened 3 times. But I think it happened earlier, MANY MANY Billions earlier - as these 3 huge cataclysms would have not allowed for the evolution of species, only disruption of species. - due to the fact the evolutionary track it obv billions of years, which required lots of water.

I believe the major impacts occurred billions ago, and the impacts helped crack-the-egg and create the tectonic plates.

TL;DR: Earth was a sphere that got impacted by tons of comets which created a shell of ice, then struck by asteroid swarms which created the oceans and panspermia asteroids (the asteroids that bring the elements that get pulverized into the constituants that when they spend billions of years in water with other elements - become life) planted some elements that allowed for life to kick-start.

---

Irrespective your current feelings to the JRE BS going on -- Russell Carlson deserves to be heard... he is amazing.

EARN IT is tightly focused on the perceived issue of CSAM material, exploitive "grooming" of minors via the Internet, and the like. It would do zilch to incent large social media companies against using algorithms that implicitly promote outrage-inducing content, much of it naturally being fake news and misinformation. It would also make it harder for smaller, more independent actors to counter these dynamics - because increased, more complex regulation and heavier liability always hinders smaller actors to the benefit of larger ones. You're conflating two issues which have very little to do with one another.
In what way is Lightning a joke compared to what's happening on ethereum? People are using Lightning to get more remittance money to their families, while over in ethereum folks are speculating on jpegs and yield farming ever-more-unsound token schemes.

Criminals and terrorists don’t use public comms to communicate (at least the smart ones). They use dead drops, trusted couriers, and in-person talking.

Apple has 200 billion dollars in liquid cash sitting in their coffers right now. If you're a developer making less than 1 million dollars annually, there is not a chance that in your lifetime you'd be able to acquire even a fraction of that wealth. There is honestly no comparison between indie developers and the largest corporation in the world; it's like saying that the Mom & Pop diner down the street should be subject to the same tax rate as McDonalds because "they both serve food". It's outright lunacy.

> You actually think that the best answer to a network engineering problem is to make legal threats at third party ISPs?

If the remote mailserver is explicitly bouncing your mails, it's not a network engineering problem.

If you're able to complete a TCP 3 way handshake, it's not a network engineering problem.

If you're being prevented from completing a TCP 3 way handshake because of a filter list on the MX server, it's not a network engineering problem. Admittedly, you can't tell that one without asking a network engineer (on the remote network) to validate that for you, or asking the application owner to advise.

Contrary to popular advice (thanks MSFT), you probably shouldn't contact your network administrator. We probably have priv 15, but we dont necessarily have root.

Understanding the global chip shortages
I will have to take your word for it. I'm in my 40s, I'm from the UK, I live in Australia, and I don't really feel what you're saying. It sounds like hyperbole. Perhaps you need to be living in France to see it. All I see is a major ramp up in censorship and attack on free inquiry coming from the left over the last 10 years. This is becoming normal. I'm not really worried about it per se, it is what it is. I'll adjust accordingly, be careful what I say in public, and my children will grow up adjusted to it. The question is whether society as a whole will be better off or not. I suspect not, but who knows.

In regards to the rise of the far right, it seems conceivable it's a reaction to the extremes of the far left. It's political polarization and I'd tend to lay blame on the dogmatists on both sides. I find them equally absurd, but I'm more disappointed in the left. That was my original point.
