I later added the word "seemingly" because I agree, there is a strong disincentive to admit details that would tie a crash to a speed run.

I personally see more near accidents caused by inattentive drivers than by speeding. Someone changing lanes without checking their mirror is dangerous even with a 10mph speed differential. It is also my understanding that while Cannonball drivers are doing 120mph+ in open stretches, they slow down when they hit traffic. You're not going to make it 3000 miles weaving between lanes with a high speed differential.

I'd imagine their behavior is similar to what what I routinely see from state police, who will come up on a bunch of traffic going 110+, and then slow down / tailgate until people in the left lane pull over and let them through (there's that culture of corruption again). I also generally see much more of this than of non-police speeding, so once again it feels a bit myopic to focus on a small contingent of people flouting social norms rather than routine harmful norms.
Sorry for being unclear, I'm talking about this "Judenstern": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_badge

That one clearly has a Nazi background.
Many gas stations are still magnetic strip only. It was the majority as of a couple of years ago, but it's shifting quickly. That said, I still very frequently encounter gas stations that don't accept chip or tap, only strip.
The worst thing is that Firefox removes all add-ons if it was not used for a while. One can disable this by setting disableResetPrompt to true, but it's annoying e.g. when you set up an ad blocker on your mom's laptop only to find it being removed a few months later.
sure! There was $6.82 trillion in government spending in the US last year(defense was just over 10%). You could just redirect 1% and fully finance 10 new nuclear plants a year. But it is easier than that, the government could simply guarantee loans for any state or power company that wants to build. Make a model plant design that can be reproduced to reduce costs.

The main point is, if you aren't taking nuclear power seriously, you really aren't taking climate change seriously. Subsidizing Teslas for rich Californians is metaphorically rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
It’d help if the rest of the world tried to aggressively prevent brain drain by making the respective countries more attractive for work.
If you’re going to compile this kind of data you might want to include data on Germany which has many roads that have no speed limit.
The law does not allow Facebook to refuse service to those saying no to tracking. If they were faced with that choice, I am sure most users would've made a very different selection.
The total number of police who were intentionally killed is also at at the highest since we started tracking as well.
Performance and battery life were my worries when I tried ad blocking apps on iOS. So far I've been very happy with Lockdown Privacy, which when active, consumes 5% of the battery. In exchange, I barely see ads even inside apps. If only it had as much filter lists as uBlock Origin.
No offence taken. I would just rather than waiting around for those many willing devs (most of which seem to be web devs rather than native client devs from my past 8yrs experience) to appear I've instead put my time & effort into making something as I was already doing for the decade before Winamp was eventually sold on.

So as long as I end up with WACUP being a program that fulfils my needs in allowing my plug-ins to keep working & happens to be of use to others wanting a supported native 'classic' winamp experience (due to the pivot from a plug-in pack to being a standalone player) then I'm going to keep doing it irrespective of what is / isn't happening with "winamp" (I don't view anything that now comes out as being winamp other than a brand name slapped onto some code).

I need a huge fact-check on this, but I seem to remember that while the "no cash flow" statement is trivially true, in practice isn't the investment capital already enough to cover several decades of funding?
VCs need to stay connected and they need access to a continuous stream of new young entrepreneurs.

They are looking for the kids that think they can takedown PayPal and visa. Give them 500k each and hope one figures it out.
Does Matrix have groups like Telegram's? I thought Matrix was just a messenger app.
I think of tech companies whose main purpose is to sell or make software for businesses and people. Netflix is a media company. Tesla is a car company. Apple is both a consumer device company and tech company. Peleton is a fitness company.
It's a false dichotomy. If you defer type-checking to runtime, you have a traditional dynamically typed language. Haskell has this in the form of -fdefer-type-errors, but I'd like to see this feature given more emphasis and used in other languages.

For me the problem is also that you get ads even if you did pay. I pay for WSJ and Bloomberg and still get presented with ads. Whats the point?
In fact Duplay uses the same laser to slow down the shuttle and bring it back to low earth orbit,for the next mission, while the payload alone is released and hurtles through space to Mars. The whole acceleration and payload release takes place while well within the moon's orbit. The laser is tight enough within a narrow (relative to the Mars distance) range.

> it's a federal republic rather than a democracy...

Germany is both a federal republic and a democracy and I would argue the the USA are too. Both countries ultimatively derive their legislation from the general populace and are representative democracies.

I've seen the claim you made several times, but every time I try to look it up I fail to understand it.

What is your reason to think a federal republic would exclude democracy?
You could also use something like 'embetty' [1] and proxy your users from YouTube, Twitter and the likes to ensure their privacy.

Yeah, but even if you missed on some of those games that were made with the help of marketing budgets from NVIDIA (to use such proprietary tech), would on the other hand opened potentially the door to thousands of other games (if they went the x86 rout).

Probably one the of the best things that happened to the gamedevs, console wise, was Microsoft and Sony going for x86 and AMD SoC.

What you're saying, which is true, is that Nintendo likes to cut costs and it's cheap on the hardware they use because they care more about the content for their IP, not much for the tech behind it. They could keep stretching the switch for 3/5 or more years if they wanted to.
Neither is denying treatment for a curable disease.
Right. As one would expect.
In Australia our leaders often don't even last a full term before being ousted.
It became a bit of a joke but I'd rather the ability for that to happen than not.
So nothing dramatic. Except that there is bad component shortage already (no idea whether flash is a bottleneck in the general shartage situation)
Seems like one should be able to provide evidence one way or another for different explanations of inflation pretty easily, like changes in the correlation of prices across sectors or changes in bond prices or something? I'm not an economist though.
My startup eschews ads and has a low cost subscription news service. However, both models work for different market segments.

1. The segment of users that doesn't really care about the quality of news and is happy to skim headlines is best served by ads. (This is the largest segment)

2. The segment of users who wants to be fully informed, as quickly as possible, is better served by a subscription.

It's a statistical play. Sometimes it gets you through a light that would have caught you, or ahead of a wreck or obstruction, or past some knot of cars. Sometimes it doesn't.
Ask HN: Security Awareness Training
I'm at a bit of a loss. Just wanted to ask the community if there were any recommendations for decent security awareness training. This requirement is coming up more and more with regulators and underwriters.

In essence, this is of course more 'box ticking' and has little to do with actual security, but the requirement remains.

Would love to hear from actual experience. I've gotten quotes from about a half dozen suppliers and I've yet to find a supplier that the staff wouldn't hate me for subjecting them to. The materials are almost universally pretty childish and melodramatic.

Saw the Stacksi launch earlier last year and they seem to have the right idea for this domain. Would love to find a comparable company but offering security awareness training - or if the Stacksi guys are reading this, please consider adding this to your product line up! :)
But the demand is still there. And many buyers powered by stock market returns.
Apple, a company notorious for secrecy, may have very legitimate reasons for canvassing employee job titles to a single innocuous string.

Unless apple signed a contract with another party that promises accurate and historical internal job title disclosure, this is the fault of the validation services who a promising something they’re not able to deliver.
^^ This is my feeling exactly. There's a lot of noise and get-rich-quick schemes going on currently.
uBlock Origin is great. If you don't have it, you should get it. I don't understand how people use the web without it.
> As a startup you are typically better served by a DigitalOcean-level of complexity, and there are plenty of such offers in the EU (Hetzner Cloud, Gridscale, OVH, etc)

As an actual startup founder who started as a 1 man startup, strongly disagree.

Spent maybe $200 a month on Google Cloud, got an actual production ready cluster. Scaled up to Millions in revenue, never had to deal with any Linux Server admin BS.

More time on business, less time on Linux Sysadmin.
yeah, but you are creating a populace that is dependent on their government for motivation, morals and concept of time spent. Not a good long term strat, and is historically what you see in the death throws of an empire.
I was productive using the previous generation Xilinx toolchain (ISE) within a few months of starting from scratch. I had hobbyist electronics experience but other than that was coming from a pure software background.
Since most people are still on ipv4, does this even mean anything? You'd need the salt stored in some way to reproduce hashes at all, and creating 4 billion hashes to find an ip won't take any meaningful amount of time. Even with a high cost algorithm, if the government requires finding the ip (because honestly Google wouldn't care here, the unique identifier is what they need), they'll be able to find it. If it's a truly irreversible hash, it would also be impossible too link up two separate requests no?
> Would No Man's Sky be viable on Switch without leveraging it's massive optimization stack for Nvidia hardware? How about the Borderlands collection and it's extensive use of PhysX?

To be fair, developers have been making games run on underspecced AMD hardware for more than a decade at this point between the XBox One and PS4, and any games coming to PC have to have AMD alternatives to CUDA physics, PhysX, etc. anyway.

Also, its not like the AAA ports have been without issues, many of them run poorly and look pretty awful compared to first party efforts like BotW. Their optimization stack might be amazing, but recycling the shield SoC AND underclocking it is definitely causing some pain.

It does seem like Nintendo has buddied up to NVidia more than console manufacturers usually do so I think its likely they stick with NVidia but I wouldn't write off the possibility entirely, especially since AMD seems so willing to please with custom solutions even for much lower volume products like the Steam Deck.
Gist of it.
>This is clearly a bait and switch. If illegal actions are being perpetrated (e.g., death threats) then prosecute them.

They are. The operators of the channel have an open arrest warrant for inciting hatred, denying the holocaust and death threats against public and private persons.

> wholly based in the USA because it does not like things on the website that are no only legal in the USA, protected by the fundamental rights and laws of the land, and are in line with all principles of human rights.

That changes when the "wholly USA" website is being used by German citizens, who are under jurisdiction.

>It would be evil and unethical for the USA to, e.g., use the US government to attack a French website for disparaging things about the USA

I's not about "disparaging things about the <country>", it's about running a website or service and not reacting to the fact that actual nazis are using the service. (You know with the eugenics and everything!)

If you think stopping nazis is authoritarianism, then you'd be the same kind of person that lets authoritarianism bootstamp all over them in the name of freedom. (Paradox of Tolerance)
Tesla Response to DFEH Lawsuit
You cannot reduce the perceived value of the codebase in most cases since the value is already communicated with the customer, there might even be contracts, and SLAs.
One big source of evidence is that people go out of their way to avoid ads. Companies know this, and often give users an option to pay extra for ad-free versions of their products. I can think of many premium products that where being ad free is a selling point; I can think of _any_ premium product where additional advertisements were a selling point, and the idea is probably laughable to people.

I've never seen anyone say their quality of life is worse with fewer advertisements; it's almost always the opposite is true.

All behavior evidence points to people viewing advertisements as something detrimental, and this detrimental behavior consumes an enormous amount of our society's resources. I can't see how we can view advertising in any way but as a net negative for society.

Volatility adds a real time value of money on top of nominal interest rates.
>does NOT say anything about a sentence for a smiley

The sentence is "two years of forced labour without displacement", the article says it clearly. This is much harsher than the 1 year suspended sentence of the Ukrainian dude for wearing the CCCP T-shirt.

Not that I support punishing people for wearing svastika or red star, but this is common in many European countries, Germany and Baltic states are the most known examples.
Show HN: Msgspec – a fast JSON/MessagePack library for Python
This is fun and really easy path to metaprogramming.

I did something a lot like this in Java where I could write Java abstract syntax trees in Java for instance write

Expression<String> that = add(of("RED"), of("blue"))

to represent the expression

"RED" + "blue"

You could process that Expression in a few different ways, for instance you could evaluate the tree using reflection or you could turn the tree into source code and compile it with javac.

Going down that path I found it was more about discovery rather than invention. That is, you will discover the issues that come up around quoting in LISP and develop some answers to them. Also for the exercise to be interesting at you will get into an execution model that is a bit bigger than the original language : for the metaprogramming to be fun at all you want to be able to write Expressions that manipulate Expressions so you end up introducing types that don't really exist in the base language. These are almost trivial to handle using the primitive interpreter style but could be more of a challenge to compile to source code.

Some source code is here

https://github.com/paulhoule/ferocity

It's been a long time since I worked on it and I need to see if I have more notes explaining the plan behind it, but the idea was to develop "ferocity0" which was a version of the DSL that was good enough to build stubs for some of the language and a large part of the standard library, and then use code generation techniques to create "ferocity1" which would be like "ferocity0" but would cover 100% of the Java language.

My current side project is being sidelined by supply chain problems so I might go back into that one.
Does anybody believe that the 7.5% figure is completely accurate and not fudged and massaged to give an answer that won't entirely spook the market?

It feels like their strategy is to avoid making a choice and letting the bubble unwind as slowly as possible to avoid political fallout. Unfortunately, we learned as kids that ripping off a bandaid faster is usually best, so this might prolong pain for a while.
Isn’t some of this just a reversal of stuff like oil being negative, and supply chain shocks due to factories shutting down for Covid? Some of it is certainly transitory.
I can see how when say medium which is dealing with curated data from my sources could benefit from leveraging a BlockChain or like solution,

To coin that Web 3.0 goes too far in my opinion, as I believe there are many scenarios where one would not want or need this dependency.
You are aware that there was a number of completely innocent people who were disappeared int US black sites, because of some name mismatch, something they said somewhere or because their neighbor didn't like them. Now you might be white and have an English name so chances of that happening to you might be slim.

However if you do not believe that this is an issue that we have to work against i suggest you get out and develop some principles. You seem to only have issues with these things if done by communist governments.
AWS has always had a very clear region system which let's you decide the location where you store your data and run your services. Most popular region here in the EU being eu-west-1 (Ireland), which usually gets new features and updates first. Once you choose a region for your application, it takes some effort to store data outside of it.

If you're happy to define "working in exchange for wages" as "slavery", then yes, I've also changed my mind about slavery too.

Trouble is, very few people would accept that strawman definition as the extant one.
Humans are not very rational, to our detriment. Most advertisements make use of logical fallacies to convince people they need a product. Most advertisements are therefore mentally unhealthy both because they actively deceive people and because they lower the sanity line in public discourse by getting people used to believing bullshit unquestioningly which makes them more vulnerable to propaganda.
Yeah, I'm pointing out the thing that I find the most objectionable about advertising which is that it's main function is to steal my attention.

I don't think there is such a thing as a good desire or a bad desire, they are just desire and all desires are something to work on bringing awareness to so they don't rule you.
Matrix has "rooms".
>I wonder though what happens now, is hyperinflation a real possibility

It will happen if the Dollar loses global reserve currency status. China, Russia, and a few allies could pull the rug out from under the US pretty easily. A lot of countries are tired of the US exporting their inflation
The other replies are missing what analytics is really comparable to. With a standard purchase, we have an exchange of the minimum necessary information at the point of engaging in a mutual financial transaction. The bookkeeper can examine that transaction after. They can look for patterns in what receipts have. That's fine.

Analytics isn't that. Analytics is tracking a customer walking into the store and looking for which store they came from. Analytics is noting down how long a customer spent holding a blue item, if they looked at a big red item, and noting it down because it might matter. Analytics is seeing how the customer went back and forth between one aisle and another. Whether looking at one item made them less inclined to look at the next. Analytics is hoarding all of that information and keeping it even if the customer doesn't make a purchase.

Of course stores have been looking at how and why and when customers shop for years, but through consensual studies. They learnt to put the fruit at the entrance and the sweets at the exit. They learnt to put their high value items at eye level. And they didn't do it through spying and analysing the behaviours of everyone walking through their doors. They didn't keep years of CCTV with the sole excuse that they might want to see how long you lingered between deciding on diaper brands.

The web has no excuse.
On one hand, after decades of inflation being too low, it's nice to see that the spigot works still.

But it's bizarre that interest rates are being held so low. It's unclear who it's supposed to help. I get that we need to boost the Covid economy, but if feels like the economy is currently running at every possible constraint - except for lack of money.
NPV is discounted by a combination of risk-free interest rate and uncertainty. For most investment/capital allocation decisions, the uncertainty term has been dominant for decades already.

Indeed, nobody announces that they're setting out to do a cannonball run. This is a classical case of survivorship bias.
Well, I don't speak Spanish. Going to a country without a working command of the language seems like a bad idea to me. This seems like an extraversion vs. introversion thing, because "meeting a bunch of new people" is on my list of things I do not enjoy. It would seem even worse if I did not know the language.

New foods don't thrill me, and I have to be careful with what I eat anyway. As to enjoying life when I wasn't really doing anything, I could do that at home.

There's nothing about travel that is for me. Even if I could teleport across borders, I don't think I would. Other people like being in new places, and I just ... don't.
So you’re suggesting a blanket right to redistribution to all property? It feels pretty generally accepted (and non contentious) that the creator of a product has a monopoly on its distribution and can chose to distribute in as many or as few places as they like. Otherwise I’d be well within my rights to ask you to give me the contents of your hard drive at my convenience as you would not be permitted to control the distribution.

It turns out that with the current rules around monopoly rights of creators, many rights holders actually prefer to widely distribute, so I wouldn’t say that this makes it “even more concentrated” as the majority of content would be.

Some content will probably only be available in a first party store, but just the fact that there are competing stores is good for the consumer.
Who would've thought that printing huge amounts of money causes inflation.

(yes, I know it was not literally printed)
In that case can't you prove this via your pay slips? Or your tax filings?
