The irony is, the lawyers dont even give everyone a TLDR of law at school or periodic updates when new legislation comes into force, so are they really protecting us or is this a stealth take over or dominance over society and the individual, some sort of revenue generating exercise or a bit of everything?

So I learned a few years ago, when Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister of the UK, at the time one of the philosophy's of law in which to back up the legal system was the existence of the concept of society, another was law follows the elected leader of society which would have been Margaret Thatcher, so when she declared there is no such thing as society, she basically gave every prisoner in the UK a free exit from prison but to my knowledge no prisoner ever took this up or tried!
Today I learned what used to be the fourth largest lake in the world has essentially vanished over the last few decades.
The rate of child deaths due to unintentional injury has fallen by over half from 1970 to 2007 for children 1-14.[1] With the current population of US children, this means about 100-200 fewer child deaths per year.

Consumer protection lawsuits have done a lot to keep people safe.

That said, there needs to be balance. Keeping kids indoors for fear of kidnapping is ridiculous. Keeping kids away from real science is also probably a bad idea. But modern playground equipment safety regulations, as an example, are really good, even if they do mean no more spiny things.

Are there any good studies of how well particular sci-fi writers predicted the future and what processes they used to attempt it. I say this

a) As I remember an article ranking John Bruner as one of the best, but can't remember where I read it, though a web search revealed this article [1] listing some of his significant successes in guessing right (though he had some misses as well).

b) It lists some of the techniques he tried to do this, 3 years reading up on a variety of topics, visited various places and did some 'parallel thought exercises'?

Is there anything similar for any other sci-fi writers or series as it reminds me of the psychohistory idea that popped up recently in Asimov's Foundation TV series which is a rabbit-hole in itself [2].

The video has no information about what they want the government to regulate. It links to this page:

https://about.fb.com/regulations/

Which then links to this page:

https://about.fb.com/news/2019/03/four-ideas-regulate-intern...

Basically, what I gathered is that they want to create a high barrier to entry for their potential competitors, as one would expect. There is nothing useful to people in those regulations.
It's ridiculous to expect that you can go after individual users for making single copies while not following your terms. You're going to sue someone for zero damages? For bruising your ego? Good luck with that.

For the same reason, an AGPL item could be enforceable, but only if the violator is juicy enough.

The reputation of the park being dangerous wasn't retroactive. According to Wikipedia, at least 6 people died in the park. That "assumption" that the park was safe should have been gone after the 1st death and was certainly gone after the 5th. People knew that it was dangerous at the time and that was part of the fun. Does that mean the 6th person to die is solely responsible for their own death? To paraphrase you "they were doing something they knew could hurt them". Does that excuse the park's horrendous safety record? Should the park be allowed to operate if customers knew death was a very real possibility?
Yeah, it's already confusing enough with "free" and "open" having too many competing meanings.

A one-click hack can still be a hack. Clicking a link should not be able to break out of a sandbox, run arbitrary code, etc and should still be considered a hack.

I think both should be considered hacks, but zero click is much scarier, so it makes sense to distinguish them
I'm frequently running into sites that don't have https encryption. Nobody seems to care as long as stuff works.
The important thing for your business going forward is to ensure that you have good contracts. Your contract with YouTube was their terms of service. Those terms basically give you no guarantees yet give Google immense freedom.

I think Vimeo is a good choice for hosting new videos. For archival I would consider just using a single NAS of your own and then have that replicate to Amazon Glacier in at least 1 other region (unless you already have the rack space and someone to physically manage the NAS box in another region).
Google makes it seem like you are doing charity and uses gamification to keep you hooked.
Related to your parent comment:

> It's also been extended to the notion that if one fails, it is always someone else's fault.

Sometimes it is someone else’s fault. But no one is saying it’s always someone else’s fault.

And what I meant by trust is that you have the illusion of agency in many situations. People think they have full agency over their health: they get to choose what to eat, where and how to exercise, what medicine to take, etc.

Except we are restricted by our economic situation, local availability, local knowledge, social influences, etc. such that no two people have the exact same agency.

I’m an extreme example, people are shunned or banned from communities for making certain decisions with their lives. In those scenarios, it isn’t a free market scenario where two choices can be evaluated and the best one picked. The deck is heavily stacked and your agency is impacted to some degree, such that saying that “people have agency over their lives” is too simplistic IMO.
Just because there are QA testers that can do software development doesn’t mean all, or even most, can do it.
I think there's a difference between civilized and domesticated. Civilized is writing laws that protect other people from your assholery. Domesticated is writing laws that protect you from own assholery at the expense of basic freedoms.

I don't think domesticated is a good state for humans. I think it evolutionarily leads to people becoming Eloi -- aka sheeple.
Exactly.

Babies cry because they're new to the world. They have not yet grown the moderating influence of context provided by experience. Every baby is unique, with a different emotional balance.

A big chunk of parenting is figuring your kids out, and balancing that with the set of experiences they need to have in order to grow. Many of those experiences are painful, which means you also need to figure out the balance of "let them cry" and "comfort them", which also changes drastically over time.

That's where having both parents really matters, as the tension between them is essential in finding that balance.
You're absolutely right! Night is a little thing that happens to us but is far from universal, never thought of that.

So, then again, why would you need to warm yourself if you get a warm sun shower perpetually?
I'm curious, what bug was that?

Semi-related, I once opened the case of my DVD of Blade Runner to find a whole nest of ants inside it, complete with tiny eggs. I didn't ask who was the queen and, without much respect for any royalty, killed them all. To this day I wonder what on earth did they find so appealing about my DVD...
It doesn't really solve the main issue here in that IPv4-only hosts (which are not aware of IPv6-anything, have no 6to4, AutoIPv6, anything) cannot talk to IPv6 hosts.

For the inverse direction there is the DNS64+NAT64 combo which works fairly well.
Cardboard: a scrollable tiling window manager
Interesting response. Let me just say that in general I would prefer the people around me to mention an alternative way of doing things (related to raising babies or anything really) along with some reasons if available. Not preach, just mention. So that they make sure I am aware of it. Maybe there is that one case where I find out about something I wasn't aware of.
And then I wish we could all say "yes I know" or "I wasn't aware of that, will dig" or "that's a myth, here's why" and continue either on that topic or change the subject with no harmed feelings.
> Any government that puts people on a blacklist for buying over n pounds of fertilizer, peroxide, whatever is a bad government.

Do you think these regulations just sprang up fully formed without reason? Legislation like this is written in the blood of those who came before it.
This is extremely concerning, frightening and downright alarming behavior by Google.

This was the final straw for me to move off of Gmail, and anything google related. Currently in the process of migrating over 500,000 emails, a small-ish YouTube channel locally backed up, and anything else I can think of.

I hope you get your items back. This is absurd. Simply absurd.
Did Iriwn Mainway write this?

Consumer Reporter: So, you don’t feel that this product is dangerous?

Irwin Mainway: No! Look, we put a label on every bag that says, “Kid! Be careful – broken glass!” I mean, we sell a lot of products in the “Bag O'” line.. like Bag O’ Glass, Bag O’ Nails, Bag O’ Bugs, Bag O’ Vipers, Bag O’ Sulfuric Acid. They’re decent toys, you know what I mean? [0][1]

I tend to use whatever types of events the system provides, in realtime. In some cases, it's a real pain, as I can't really choose what I get.

If I am using an event as a "record" of an event, I tend to store a "before" state, and an "after" state. In many cases, I can actually store entire serialized objects. This allows, for example, the ability to recreate an object state/context, simply by re-instantiating the stored object, and using the reanimated instance to replace the current one.

Sort of a RESTFul event.

In my work, whenever possible, I like to use a "RefCon" pattern. This is a classic pattern, that I learned from working with Apple code, but I know that it's a lot older.

We simply attach a "RefCon" (Reference Context) to an event. This is usually an untyped value, that is supplied to the event source, when it is set up, then, to the event target, when the event fires. These days, it's easier, as closures/lambdas often allow you to access the initiating context. In the old days, it might have simply been a single-byte value, that could be applied into a lookup table, to allow the called context to re-establish.

I recently ran into the need for one of these, in an SDK that I wrote, where I didn't. I'm still kicking myself. I think that I didn't supply it, because I thought it might have been too complicated for some consumers of the SDK.

In the six years or so, since I wrote that SDK, I have been the only consumer.
Wow this is very interesting, thank you for the explanation

this is in line with my intuitive understanding which was based purely on usage.
It seems to be the case that some breastfeeding is beneficial. However, I’ve been unable to figure out where the line is drawn after much internet research.

Some places say six weeks gets you most of the benefits, others say twelve years minimum. You’re right though that the studies are less conclusive than some would like you to believe.
Sitting up straight is a temporary solution. You WILL lose focus and slouch again. The long-term fix is to develop lower-back and core strength. Running, cycling, yoga, and weight machines can help with this (I am not a doctor).
Wait, are you saying that Hacker News is the government? What does having a post getting removed from Hacker News have to do with what the government tells us to say? I'm sorry but I don't follow this line of argument at all.

Who, except for people too young to know better, saw value in C but not in Algol? The Bell Labs folks obviously thought enough of Algol such that C is a descendant in the family of Algol-like languages. Algol was widely used in Europe whereas in the U.S. we made do with Fortran, Cobol, and, I think to a lesser extent, PL/I, although the latter had many Algol-like features at the time. (And Fortran evolved to have many of those features; I suppose Cobol also, but I'm not familiar with its post-1981 history.)

Taking a contrarian view to everyone else in this thread, I don't think Unix rocketed C to stardom - Turbo C did. Turbo Pascal was very very popular for PC programming and was eventually supplanted by Turbo C and Turbo C++. Without Turbo C, I think C would have probably become just another niche language used on a niche OS, Unix.

And in line with what you say in another comment, commercial OSes -- including VMS -- were very powerful and much more popular than Unix. In 1982, a single VAX 11/780 running VMS with 4 and 8 MB of RAM could support 10s of programmers editing, compiling, debugging, and testing code. VMS was also a real-time operating system that we used in production to control/monitor/perform-I/O hardware devices handling LANDSAT image data. And Unix is still trying to figure out async I/O ... (Most of my career has been spent on Unix, but I appreciate other operating systems I've worked on as well.)
When I lived in a dorm in Montreal, a pizza delivery guy passed by and asked my neighbor for directions to a room, in English. He replied that he doesn't know. Obviously he does, so after helping the guy I asked my neighbor why he'd say that. He said essentially if the guy lives here and can't speak basic French he doesn't deserve an answer.

Most people aren't like that, but there are assholes out there...
So you think the $10/month fee for existing services is what induced the phase change? I've done hundreds of these searches, paid maybe $20 total.

I have a different theory about why this bugs you... Previous to today, you were ignorant of that these records were available online so cheaply and quickly. Nothing has really changed, except your own anxiety levels as your worldview struggles to absorb this information. But your brain wants the change to be external, because that's less threatening than the realization that this capability has been lurking out there in the world, all along.
Russian language wasn’t banned. I’m a russian speaking Ukrainian. Everywhere I go I can speak russian. Legislature was changes to require workers to greet in ukrainian, yes. However, there are no restrictions on anyone speaking any language. This measure is supported by me, and most of my friends, as a way to counter-balance russification, a centuries-long process of forcing russian language in every sphere of life.

It is difficult for me to switch to Ukrainian, but I support any measure for next generation to use the language of our country.
>>Have you backed up your email?

Yes...

Every piece of data I have that I care about is backed up following a 3-2-1 model

I am also in the process of moving off Gmail due to the Legacy termination.

>I don't think users truly understand that now.

In my experience user don't truly understanding anything, given that I work in data storage I take is seriously, I am also called on my people on a semi regular basis to recover from data loss because their drive crashed, or something like that. every time I attempt to educate them on low cost backup solutions to prevent it in the future, less than 1% even after suffering data loss will learn the lesson and start doing backups

That is for onPrem hardware failure. For a service like Google, facebook, Microsoft, etc they just simply do not believe they will ever lose that data.

Hell just the other say in a sysadmin forum people were debating is business even need to backup data in Office 365 because "that would be a waste of money"

People have taken the meme of "internet never forgets" far to literally
>> If someone falls off a ladder while painting your house, they can sue you and take your house.

This rings true to me. Where I live, on one side of the street half the houses have been taken over by house painters who sued the former owners. The other half of the street the houses go unpainted because people fear the laborers will take advantage of them.

I wish we could go back to a world where property owners had power and political influence.
In the past I use to drink a lot of coffee, maybe 5 cups or so a day. It didn’t use to impact me negatively, as it was ok for me to stay up late and burn the midnight oil. Now that im in my mid thirties, it finally caught up with me. Now with kids I need to be asleep by 10:30 pm and I had terrible insomnia. Also my energy levels were all over the place and I would feel depressed at times.

I cut out caffeine for the most part, and only drink one or two cups on the weekends, or vacation. My energy levels are way more consistent, I can sleep soundly at night, and my mood is way more mellow and I feel overall happier.
I kinda feel the tradeoffs given miss an opportunity. It's probably not a great idea for most people to expend any time going after careers that are essentially lottery-win levels of rarity to truly succeed. i.e. Professional sports players like baseball or golf, as listed here. I would also suggest that being a tenure-track and especially tenured professor qualifies in this list, despite the pay discrepancies.

Quote
"The more time you sink into the wrong idea, the more you are misspending life’s most precious resource. But if you quit at the right time (and ignore that sunk cost), then you can move on to scale something else—something with a better shot at success."

This definitely applies across things more than just peoples careers and business ideas. I would say this applies broadly. Emotions steer people around and they have a root - a main source of their existence within that person. But further, emotions can lead a person astray. Relationships, too, can lead a person astray if the relationship is with a toxic person. All these things (all things) are best moderated.
I know where you're coming from. I've felt the same when I was novice in Rust, and could not imagine how people get anything done when 10 lines of code have 10 borrow checker issues to deal with. But this obstacle completely goes away once you understand ownership and Rust idioms, instead of trying to make rustc accept C-style code.

I have many years of experience in both, and I can confidently say that for experienced programmers Rust is both quicker than C to get something useful working, and to get projects polished and production-ready.

Rust has a useful standard library (compared to C). You have hashmaps, btrees, or vectors with lots of helper methods all available in less than it takes to hand-roll a linked list.

Rust has lots of high-level crates that you can leverage. You need to fetch some JSON? It's a few lines of code to get it into a native struct, type-checked for you. You can have it running in less than it takes to craft a Makefile.

Rust is also productive for robust code. You don't fiddle with malloc, so the whole `goto cleanup` code is gone, and you don't spend any time chasing memory corruption, leaks, or unexpected NULLs. And these are often static guarantees, not something to fuzz out of a stanitizer.

If you need code to be multi-threaded, it can be as easy and high-level as OpenMP, but you get a compile-time guarantee of no data races, even in 3rd party code you use. Some errors pointed out by the Rust compiler have saved me what could have been weeks of heisenbug debugging.

It's normal that you move slower when writing an unfamiliar language, and Rust certainly has a steep learning curve. But once you learn it, Rust feels closer to high-level scripting languages than C.

Example attacker transaction:
https://ethtx.info/mainnet/0x18c0b67adf306b7f0da948e238c1397...

We see that this tx performs 3 layers of delegation, whereas normally the opensea WyvernExchange contract needs 2 (user's proxy delegates action to WyvernAtomicizer, which performs the transfer.) In this case there's another layer: user proxy delegates to attacker contract 0xa2c0946ad444dccf990394c5cbe019a858a945bd, which then calls the Atomicizer to do a malicious transfer.
I don't think gating on interaction does much of what they want, because they are trying to prevent cross-site tracking and it is quite common for people to interact with both sites.

This is a mitigation that specifically addresses tracking that runs entirely on the client. If you set a cookie from the server the time limit does not apply, which means you can store whatever information you want on the server keyed by an HTTP cookie.
All of that info is entirely different from the authentication info that proves you own the account and let’s you make changes to it.

> You have use cases for binary kernel modules which need to be accommodated

I can't think of a single reason that binary-only kernel modules would ever need to be distributed. There are some cases when out-of-tree modules make sense, but in all of these cases, they could be distributed with source code, in compliance with the GPL.
VR is a good workout, but to be honest, I still find the headsets unpleasant enough to not want to use this over other forms of exercise. The headsets are too heavy, moving vigorously cause them to move and lose your visual sweetspot, they got hot, the foam interface gets sweaty and gross, etc. And for the amount of time I spend on screens, I’d rather go for a run outside and enjoy the fresh air.

But I could see most of the above being improved in a few generations such that it’s a really great exercise option.
