It's such a broad cop out. Very much like the "we use (horribly intrusive surveillance technology that is complete overkill for any imaginable purpose today, is almost certainly illegal to collect without explicit consent, but we may find useful in 5 years when we trawl all the logs and mine it for a tiny modicum of profitable edge) to improve our products and services, and some other random long sentences that sound innocuous and something else, look at the fluffy bunny, (huge) *CONTINUE* button, pre-selected (tiny) not right now, doesn't even look like a button".

It’s funny that you mention pseudoscientific garbage here.

Apparently, Cesar Hildalgo’s phd advisor was Barabasi, the ardent promoter of the “scale-free network” concept. Which, while hot last decade, has (to put it charitably) gone out of fashion:

I wonder if his advisor’s “bad luck” had rubbed off on him.
There are so many (and so simple) workarounds that it almost feels intentional. My favourite one is typing "a@a.com" as email, literally anything as password, and this will throw an error and viola, prompt you to create a local account. Been using this in the latest Windows 11 Dev builds, no MSA required. Even Microsoft Store works without MSA!

I can't decide either.

Arguments that you are paid the value you bring to the company. If that's true, then companies that profit are ripping off their employees to some extent.

Arguments for "same work same pay". How does that apply to manufacturing where clearly overseas workers making the exact same clothing are paid less than their American counterparts, the exact reason manufacturing moved overseas in the first place? If you think this is deeply, critically unfair, well there are generations of blue-collar workers that agree and probably don't feel a lot of sympathy for tech workers when nobody gave a crap when it happened to them.

Arguments you are paid your market-based replacement value. You get paid less in a cheaper COL area than an expensive COL area, if you actually live in said areas. This makes the most sense to me, just from a competing for talent perspective. Sadly all this does is enrich property owners in high COL areas.

As far as how it applies to remote work, well that falls into the market-based replacement value bucket. If the corp is willing to hire remote workers, then you as a remote worker are also competing against the entire world of remote workers, some of who live in even cheaper areas. This is one of those "be careful of what you wish for, you might get it" situations. I don't see how, long term and outside truly world-unique talent situations, corporations will agree to pay Bay Area wages to remote workers wherever they are. Especially when tech workers aren't unionized, indeed most vehemently oppose being unionized.
I draw a line they do it anyway behind my back.
Immediately reminded me of this old Game and Watch:

The problem with this filesystem is that it doesn't actually protect against power fails. Mostly you are OK, but not always.

I run an afl-base fuzzer against it back in 2020, and found a bunch of issues leading to assert failures in the code. I wasn't even checking data integrity. The tickets are still open (and it wasn't obvious to me how to fix them).

Spiffs is another micro controller file system, but it also fails fuzzing tests very rapidly with various failures. Spiffs seems less maintained than littlefs.

Are there any other good, reliable, freely licensed, microcontroller file systems suitable for small flash parts?
AFAIK it's for "Teams for Life", aka the personal version of Teams. The business one didn't get a V2 upgrade (yet).

Matteo Cerri: Will humans one day hibernate?
It sucks what happened but it's important to realize that this is a pretty rare occurrence. There are a lot of famous people and most of them don't have someone turn up to their house with a shotgun at any point. News seeks out the sensational but keep in mind that it is sensational because this is an outlier. And even the individual affected by this incident apparently considers the platform to be worth the risk, since she is still active on there.
I have a different more nuanced take on this. I've commented earlier, but I'll repeat myself here:

-----

Currency is only as good as the government that mediates its exchange.

If mediating that exchange incurs costs, then the government will take steps to either stop mediating those exchanges (ex: China - where all crypto exchanges are illegal by default, so the legal system can no longer be used to offset the cost of those exchanges at cost to itself) or it will bring that currency under control so that it can make those costs predictable and acceptable (ex: The US - where crypto is getting "all the bad bits" added back through legislation)

Which means the original intent of crypto only works in this honeymoon period (which I actually think ended not too long after the silk road went down) where it happens to get treated as an asset by a government that hasn't yet found out that they're essentially mediating exchanges in a foreign currency for free (not something most governments want to do).

So you want to create regex based filters that:

- Sort articles into lists

- Tag articles by category

It would be awesome if a bunch of people threw themselves into the translations of this all at once. If anyone has a preferred localization workflow to share that would be cool too!
Paynents with cash above a certain sum are also restricted in some legislations.

Is steam deck supposed to release next week?
People get paid to promote shit on HN. It's a job you can get. There's no hope for the old internet these days. You can welcome the spammers, if you want, but all you're gonna get is spam.
This is the direction our office is going in, except that we have some flexibility to choose which days we go in. They want there to be at least one day where everyone in the dept. is in the office.
Anonymous payments are critical to society. We’re already surveilled from every possible angle, total surveillance isn’t too far away. Many of these technologies are not well understood by the general public and of course their proprietors will never admit to any wrongdoing.

Our freedoms are eroding by the week. Many people here on HN right now probably don’t know what life was like prior to the Patriot Act.

I just want to be left alone, to think and behave freely, including the ability to share my ideas without fear of reprisal.
I’m definitely not following you..
You could break the safe with a hammer or by smashing it on the ground, as others have mentioned.

You know though, you are mostly using the safe in your own home or office, for increments of 30 minutes to a couple hours. For many folks I think the risk is very low.

I guess, I find this emergency access sentiment really similar to something my wife's students say when there phones are taken away: "what if my parents need to contact me in an emergency?"

It's a really sincere worry they have that seems totally foreign to me, having grown up in an era when my parents often couldn't contact me for hours at a time. Food for thought.
You think they aren't itching to ban cash too?
He is mistaken. Outlook just asked him if he is okay with having Ads look like mail, just made the alternative look worse
Obsessing over small details like this can be illustrative of the company culture at the time. Knowing that Steve Jobs himself wrote the numbers means that they handled all parts personally to some degree.

More bluntly, on a site devoted to a single computer model, every shared scuff mark on some part will get obsessed over by someone.
Could he have just turned it down a little bit so that it wouldn’t cover such a large area? (I know it would still be illegal)
Your first point is really the most important part for me. I've been in tech now for around a decade; finding new work isn't that hard and I know roughly what I'm going to get paid wherever I go. But "does this company treat its workers well?" is frequently a trickier thing to get good signal on, especially if you don't know anyone there (more common now in the new mostly-remote world), and "role open to any state but Colorado" is now a useful data point (and an immediate red flag).
The GDPR is a sensible legislation and no amount of FUD can change that. If you can't explain what you are doing with personal data, you shouldn't be allowed to handle it.

You are also confusing legislation with rulings. GDPR says your business interests cannot outweigh my rights. That's it. Now courts find that leaking my IP address to third countries is something that harms me more than it does your business good. I can live with that.
I think Rust and Ocaml are very different languages.

I went into Rust thinking I could use it like a kind of curly brace Ocaml, and that's totally off. It's much more like a very strict modern C++ with a lot of historical cruft removed.

OCaml is much more concise and higher level. It also doesn't let you reason about memory layout really well. Plus Ocaml has parametric polymorphism and higher order modules, compared with rusts ad-hoc polymorphism and traits. In Ocaml the idiomatic solution is often recursion but that will blow the rust stack.

(full disclaimer, I'm much better at Ocaml than I am Rust, and I'm really not great at Ocaml)
I really like this! Obviously you're not proving the direction of sampling bias, but given that this diagnosis requires an echocardiogram, it's very suggestive that only dogs on fancy grain-free diets are getting diagnosed.

> The reason: They want to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

> Criticism comes from the Pirate Party. “A complete ban on anonymous payments would not have any appreciable reducing effects on crime, but it would deprive innocent citizens of their financial freedom. For example, to collect donations, opposition figures like Alexej Navalny are increasingly dependent on anonymous donations in virtual currencies around the world,” says Patrick Breyer, MEP for the Pirate Party Germany and member of the LIBE committee.

The critique is 100% on the money. This will not stop criminals, at all. They will continue to use privacy coins such as Monero which are entirely untraceable by design. The only people hit by this are legitimate business or causes who offer crypto payments, or grey area businesses such as cannabis shops. The timing coinciding with the Emergency Act in Canada, feels like this is likely about suppression of undesirable political groups.

So far "Linux works well for you and countless others" but almost all these people fall under the category of IT specialists or people with a high IQ.

There are many anecdotal stories how Windows doesn't work but considering a majority of organizations run Windows (and we are talking about literally hundreds of millions of users) just fine with little to no maintenance while Linux is nowhere to be seen, speaks volumes about the validity and the breadth of your statement. BTW, what's the decent alternatives for AD, GPO, CIFS and something as simple as MSTSC/RDP in Linux/GNU? Pretty much none? Just don't talk about LDAP, SSH, NFS and VNC. There are nowhere near in terms of features and simplicity. 99.9% of people on Earth won't be able to configure them let along install them. I could continue for hours about the things Linux distros are lacking.

When talking about tech and IT it is pertinent to look beyond one's nose. Linux works for me as well. How much time have I spent fixing its bugs and quirks? A hundred times more than reinstalling Windows.

How many issues have you helped solve in the Linux kernel? Zero? I'm over a dozen now. Some of them took literally tens of hours of painful debugging.

There's just one OS where Linux indeed works: Android. Only Android doesn't use the vanilla Linux kernel. Only Android runs on very specific devices. And the Android userspace has/uses zero GNU components.

"Linux works". LMAO.
It is very hard to make anonymous payments in cash to third world countries and that is the problem they care about. There are all sort of checks and controls and costs associated with moving physical money between countries.
Except you can't easily or risklessly transport meaningful amounts of cash.

You can't easily deposit or spend significant amounts of cash without raising flags everywhere.
Need : sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/bin/sh:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register" to run redbean, this really should be documented for linux

to run the demo, still I got lots of warning about "tool/net/redbean.c:1034:redbean:68740] (lua) failed to run lua code: /.init.lua:1: module 'fullmoon' not found", adding the path to LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH did not help.

last, is there a lua version requirement for this? My system default to lua 5.1.

I was thinking about using this for an embedded board, but the code is actually quite large, 1.6M after zipped, which is too much for small boards.
As far as I know, digital payments were never anonymous, so there was nothing to ban in the first place.

That is very clearly not what OP is saying, and you're picking a strawman fight.

OP is not arguing that Bezos is totally and completely deserving of his billionaire status.

They're just saying that it feels a little gauche to bitch and moan publicly about losing 10% of your 200k compensation in a time where 60% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Maybe those workers do deserve more! Maybe much more! But man, it's hard to not feel a little tone deaf.

Obviously, this is only one small facet of a large and complicated discussion. No one is "fighting for" managers and owners here. The OP isn't even explicitly anti-union! Just pointing out the "bad taste."
Nor are bills and coins nearly as anonymous as most people believe.

There's a reason every Euro note and US dollar comes stamped with a serial number...
I dunno, sounds like sour grapes to me.

Those benchmarks are in agreement with my subjective experience of running (open)bsd on an allegedly well-suoported thinkpad: compared to debian, bsd was sluggish and lasted hours less on battery.
The idea of sealing each section and then floating it into position seems so elegant and simple. Is this a common technique for a project of this style, or a new innovation?
What you're suggesting comes down to rich people having disproportionally more say.

Taking money out of the equation democratizes speech and makes sure everyone has a say, not just the Peter Thiels that can buy printing presses.
What is your specific setup? It seems like that would be a pretty straightforward thing to do.
Cash has scaling issues that creates pain points for illegal activities. Crypto does not.
Yes. Of course. But what do you do when the top of the stack IS the min? Your new min should change, but you won't have the information to update to the second min unless you do the trick in the article.
Yes, people tend to have different experiences in life. Ads to me are extremely disruptive, I cannot focus and read text when there are moving images and flashing colors surrounding it. I consider it an affront to accessibility for the attention-challenged, they are designed to distract and derail my train of thought, shouting "forget what you came here for and look this way"
It's important to know that Ukraine's military has degraded to such a level that paramilitaires and militiais on the Ukraine side frequently run afoul of the government's will. Many of them have a large incentive for more war to happen, or are just batshit insane.

So there's a situation where Ukraine isn't a well defined entity anymore. This is, of course, absolutely great for Russia, but it's very concerning.
Nice to see this show up on HN. I wrote an addendum, not in that post...

Olympic rant #2: Fake "team" events. We now see a lot of events promoted as team events where the team members need never have practiced together and don't even meet each other at the venue necessarily. These are team events where just add the scores of various competitors, or "relays" where there is no baton, nobody touches. Sadly to me, this has become a common form for mixed events. I have been wanting to see more mixed events, but I wanted to see mixed events where the men and women actually work together, like pairs skating or mixed doubles tennis or curling.

It's very easy to make a mixed team event in a real team sport. You can make a rule like "3 men and 3 women on the ice."

I understand that in some sports, like swimming, you can't have a baton, but it would be nice if they had to touch or something. In the downhill sports they can't easily physically meet. Mixed team snowboard cross had the man set a time, and that controlled when the woman was let out of the gate (later.) But all this is better than the sports where you just add scores and they aren't really a team at all. These events are just an excuse for nationalism. They will always be won by big countries which have the size and budget to send a group of high level athletes good enough to get the best average score.
A while ago, I spent some time to make LXC run in a docker container. The idea is to have a statefull system managed by LXC run in a docker environment so that management (e.g. Volumes, Ingress and Load Balancer) from K8S can be used for the LXC containers. I still run a few desktops which are accessible by x2go with it on my kubernetes instances.

That is not a good tradeoff for a massive surveillance state that pesters and obsesses over users, profiling them to a degree literally unimaginable in the time of Orwell.

> “I wasn’t sending anything of my body," Ava said. “It was just pictures of my face, which is what I assume that he was paying for. My whole thing is my pretty smile — that’s my content.” She said Mr. Justin paid about $300 for two photos, via the Venmo digital wallet app.

If you're a parent out there, that should be the biggest red-flag possible. I'm not one to advocate for total control over your family's online interactions, but if a ball like that starts rolling, you need to have a serious sit-down conversation with your teen about boundaries and what kind of crazy, obsessed people there are in the world. Feeding their cycle of obsession should be a non-starter for any guardian out there, and I'm frankly surprised to learn that her father, a former police officer, didn't start asking questions after $300 hit her bank account.

People used to call the tech industry a "brave new world" of finance and commerce. Influencer culture is a whole different level of psychological horror, though.
This is especially terrifying when combined with governments freezing people out of the financial system (with no prospect of appeal) as has happened in Canada, along with the decreasing popularity, and prospective elimination of cash (as seems most common in China and the Nordic countries).

I feel like you want this to be "you can make anon physically so I should be able to digitally" when what would actually happen is new KYC requirements that cash transactions require scanning someone's government id.

Yeah, I was really curious about the current state of things, but lost interest after reading the abstract, which was very careful to use "may" everywhere. It's quite a leap to go from "they could do X if they wanted to" to "they're doing X". FWIW, when I worked at Facebook the internal narrative was that shadow profiles were not a thing. Given that everyone had access to source control, one would think any enterprising engineer could easily contradict this, but I don't recall it being actively questioned internally (while many of the company's policies were).
Good for you. Use the functionality. But you don't need it to be shoved down other people's throats for that, do you?

It's just an approximation, which should be correct up to an order of magnitude. I guess it's alright if there's a factor of 5 between the highest and lowest paid employees.
I'd argue that cryptocurrency payments to anonymous receivers should not be irrevocable. If you want to send money anonymously, that's OK. But, to prevent fraud, receivers must be either known, or subject to clawback.

That could be done with a smart contract. When you buy something with a cryptocurrency, the funds go into lockup for, say, 30 days. With no action by either party, funds are released to the seller after 30 days. If the buyer wants to dispute the transaction, they can trigger an arbitration hold by sending a message to the smart contract. The seller can then give up anonymity and go to arbitration or court, or abandon the transaction.
We've been working on tools for post-merger integration, and there don't seem to really be any other tools in the space. It's a huge problem.
I remember this project being controversial back in the day. I wonder what the locals think of that today. Definitely impressive technology.
