There's concept similar to what you're describing called crypto-shredding[1]. Hashing isn't a good way ensure the confidentiality of data--just the authenticity--you really want to prefer a solid cryptographic algorithm if your goal is to ensure data remains confidential.

The idea behind crypto shredding is that you have a cryptographic key for each entity in your system and you use that key encrypt all fields for a given record. When it comes time to delete that data, you simply discard the key used to encrypt it. Assuming you've used reasonably good cryptography, this data is now effectively gone.

This is useful in cases where:

* You need to support the right to be forgotten (as defined in the CCPA[2] or GDPR[3]), since all you need to do to "delete" a user's data is to delete the key used to encrypt.

* The data you need to delete exists across multiple data stores/applications/environments and ensuring consistency for the deletion across all these places is difficult. For example: You may have DB backups, long-lived caches, or 3rd party services/vendors that may have copies of this data.

* You want to discard some, but not all, of a user's data. This is important in cases you're required by law to retain specific kinds of information even after a person has required it's deletion. For example, banking and finance companies are required to keep specific records about who they sent money to or performed services for.

Likely from watching Indiana Jones movies too many times, I'm rather partial to biplanes and loved the AN-2 when I saw pictures of it. Shame they're restricted as to use because of regulations.
the green party wasn't part of government in the last 16 years and had little to no say in energy policy
i plan to use a mail server independent of google so i can manage more parts of it without being subject to limitations of the email providers and because i am not going to "send" any email, there isnt even a problem of deliverability.

my question is that does there an appscript alternative that i can self host on my server..

so you are saying

email server> appscript(alternative)>django><browser
?

the OTP is for lazy people who cant be bothered to check their multiple emails for OTPs. nothing sinister...
I'm certainly one of those people who think git makes stupid mistakes a little too easy to do, so I'm on board with that definition.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a simplistic split keyboard? I've been curious about them as a better orientation for my shoulders, but I really have no need for all these glowing color leds and whatnot that gamers seem to like.

The ZSA moonlander looks maybe the closest, but I'd really love to be able to disable the leds (or just not have them at all).

Edit: Well that was fast, I'll check out the ergodox-ez for sure -- thanks!
They fully understand what international law is.

You could say that US lawmakers don't understand international laws because US data laws are extraterritorial.
Is it true that async/await is syntactic sugar over Promises, and that Promises are sugar over callbacks?

If that's true, does the "function coloring" problem apply to Promise-based code and callback-based code too? (Talking about JavaScript here)
They don't! They might be Michelin-rated, but that's different.

> Why would the USA maintain a merchant fleet if it not economically feasible?

Basically the same reason Japan subsidizes grain production or why Sweden doesn't buy its fighter jets from Russia. Sure, it'd be cheaper to import, but it's also a vulnerability.

It would make America dependent on foreign powers for the shipping of goods vital to the economy and even national security. How do you move oil to Hawaii and military hardware to Guam if foreign carriers decide to embargo the USA?

If you're waiting, it's not synchronous by definition. It's already an asynchronous function.
There's no mistake: the only uses of crypto so far are wild speculation and scams.

Anyone who gets involved crypto is going to fall into one of these two. I wish it turned out differently, but it's time we stop pretending crypto will change anytime soon and will bring anything good.
> Why are operation costs lower for operators under a different flag?

A ship flagged under country X has to obey the laws of country X. So a Liberian flagged ship has to obey the laws of Liberia. The minimum wages in Liberia is much less then the US. Overtime rules more relaxed. Safety standards are more relaxed.
There are kind of two main axes you can impact

1. The Devs

2. The Org

For The Devs

With regard to the developers you need to make sure they have what they need to succeed, and to help them grow.

For this "Peopleware" is great - it helps understand the "servant leader" mindshift

For The Org

With regard to the organization, your main job will be making sure the organization doesn't make classic mistakes.

Mythical Man Month is great for this. Another great resource is the "Classic Mistakes" section from McConnell's book Rapid Development.

If you google that you can find a PDF for it.
Is displaying those records in public the violation of the statute? Or was it merely allowing the documents out of their control? Such that.. now they're out, does the website actually have any obligation to follow the "Business and Professions Code?"
Great insight into a truly deranged mind.
Thanks for reply.

What do you believe is the most appropriate data-store to use and why?

That's interesting: trying to track the color temperature curve as the bulb dims.
That is good in theory but most people will have forgotten most of the conversation by the time you get back to them with your calculated values. People don't care that much about what others do, in order to grab their attention you need to be well prepared and answer things quickly or you lose them.
I think crypto enthusiasts skip the “except” part for government legal tender.

At a minimum, central bank notes are required to pay taxes. The type of currency doesn’t really matter - when gold was the medium, most trade was silver, and the volatile nature of silver made life hard for constituents like farmers.

Crypto works as a transfer mechanism, unfortunately money laundering, finance schemes, and organized crime are the biggest use case.
I have a renewed interest in fully-split keyboards because of the idea of using a VR headset instead of monitors for my day job - I currently just use a goldtouch partially-split/tilt keyboard which is inexpensive and works incredibly well at a desk. This opens up the possibility of moving away from a chair/desk combo to all sorts of varied positions - standing, sitting cross-legged on a cushion, various floor stretch positions as in [0], lying down, lounging on the couch, etc. I bought a quest 2 off craigslist for cheap to test this. I'm imagining that a split keyboard with some kind of integrated pointing device (tiny joystick? or just get very good at keyboard-only navigation) that mounts to your wrists or something would be ideal. Anyone have experience with trying different setups of this type? A quick youtube search brings up a custom-built leg-attached keyboard [1] but nothing commercial yet.

See if you can find a solo hackathon or contest (e.g code golf, obfuscated C, etc) to enter.
Given the "no-holds-barred, first-past-the-post" nature of this, the winner will be a group of people who split the test and each solved their part.
On Windows, did you use the Lenovo provided software to manage cooling? If you did a fresh install of Windows and didn't install the OEM fan and CPU tooling, but then did install CPU tooling on Linux, its not quite a fair comparison.

I've got a 460s and it will run pretty warm if you let it. If you tell it to not run so hot it'll keep the CPU throttled down a bit more aggressively and keep it cooler. That generation of Intel CPU was always a bit on the warm side when it wanted to actually do anything. Especially anything related to video encoding/decoding, using stuff like Zoom or Meet or Teams really makes the machine get warm.
Would you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? I'm sure you have good reasons for feeling strongly but the site guidelines don't stop applying when bad things are happening—actually that's just when they should apply the most.

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Even though there's a war going on and it's scary and activating, it's possible to discuss the topic without breaking those guidelines. Plenty of other users are demonstrating that in this very thread.
The hard problem is how to use an asset in-game, beyond the visual aspect. What is the speed, rate of fire, etc.

Each game does this differently, their code is not the same, their assets are managed in many ways. How do you propose to deal with this?
It's not quite that binary. There are times where your approach is the best one, likely more times than not. But there are also situations in which it'd be advantageous to provide some concrete figure/estimate in the moment, even if its not completely accurate.
Right. And switching heating to heat pumps driven mostly by renewables will mean a large reduction in gas required in total.
How much conflicting information can people handle?

I thought the point of sanctions is to inflict enough financial damage to the Russian people in the hope that they will start to turn on Putin?

Also sanctions can be an instrument susceptible to abuses compared to nuclear weapons because it's so one-sided --- there is little point for any country to sanction the US, for example, but a total US sanction would be disastrous for most countries.
> ...we strongly suggest that you install Freenet inside an encrypted drive using, for example, Truecrypt.

A word of warning: Truecrypt has been unmaintained for years; I'm not a security expert and can't suggest an alternative.
Business computer security just got a lot more serious.

- Cloud-based factory automation? Unsafe now.

- Mandatory remote diagnostics? Unsafe now.

- Remote updates? Questionable, and need to be blockable during crisis periods.
I guess this is a joke because he is writing the compiler (and language, Jai) for his new game. I think he has a team now though.
With the caveat that ESU (Extended security Updates) cost companies increasing $$$ for every year after extended support ended.
> I'm just suggesting that period of time is longer than suggested by the parent.

The parent's estimates track with adjustments made to the "Polestar 2’s LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)". The assessment originally stated the break even point was somewhere around 50,000 miles but it was quickly pointed out that the paper was neglecting to take into account the carbon impact of ICE vehicles and fuels at several stages. As well as identifying discrepancies due to geographic production and completely unsubstantiated irregularities.

After taking those things into account the break even point was estimated to be 16,000 mi.

https://insideevs.com/news/458458/legacy-automakers-backed-s...

Why the disparity? Just look at who published the assessment and where their interests lie.
Hmm, the only country to have used nuclear weapons against innocent civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is staying calm
There is a grey area between the letter and intent of the law but it takes a special sort of wilful misinterpretation to end up with "driving onto a little cart that goes about two hundred feet along a rail, then comes back" as "travelling by rail". Especially when there is apparently a whole pile of paperwork that had to be done to officially register this little cart as A Canadian Rail Line. These people know damn well what the spirit of the law is and put a lot of time and effort into coming up with a way to violate the spirit but not the letter of it.

The only way you can get to that point via a slippery slope is to bring your own barrels of lubricant and spend a while clearing rocks and trees and other obstacles off of your slope. You might even have to put some effort into increasing the grade of that slope.
Yes, function coloring applies to them too. The function coloring problem is semantic, not syntactic (with the possible exception of rule 4 "Red functions are more painful to call"), so no amount of adding or removing syntactic sugar will affect it.
CAcert.org tried years ago. LetsEncrypt has replaced the need for this service.

There was a proposed Kazakhstan root cert for nationwide MiTM, so you could argue that was its purpose of their CA. Darkmatter (which had somewhat of a legit claim as they are the local gov IT provider) tried to get root CA inclusion too, but the risk of MiTM was too great and was rejected -- allegedly, potentially, for this purpose too.
Those are all good risk models/mechanisms you mention. But clearly the
gamut of risks is unbounded. Human responses to those risks is not
quite the same thing, so your "because?" questions need more context.

> lose control over/ability to understand

What someone from the Union of Concerned Scientists once called
something like the "problem of the pulled-up ladder". I gave a talk on
this, and relating to Thomas Thwaites "Toaster Project" [1], on the
fact that we no longer have an education strategy that recognises that
one generation cannot hold the knowledge to reconstruct technological
society (100 years ago we could).

> Because limits to growth will force austerity?

Not necessarily, no. We've escaped Malthusian traps before, but
staying ahead of the curve gets more precarious as our failure
tolerances get tighter. For example fusion will be a positive step
change, but we might arrive at a point where near-unlimited energy is
still not sufficient to fix things (like a soil chemistry debt).

> complexity leads to incomprehensible stochastic risks?

Somewhat. We've always had that though. DDT, PFAS and Microplastics
kinda caught us with our pants down. We have to be careful getting
into Black Swan speculation. But in the cybersecurity realm _yes_, I
deeply believe that we are constructing systems that _will_ fail
catastrophically with almost total certainty. The focus then needs to
be on mitigation, resilience and maintaining contingent technologies.
I have said plenty on where I think the "cashless society" is leading.

At present it's the psychological/sociological issues that most
intrigue me - there's no doubt we're well into an era where we
recognise solutionism is making many things worse, and are
addicted/dependent, but don't have the psychological apparatus to
societally extricate from what are widely understood as harmful
courses of action.

How we'll solve that is one of the most interesting questions of the
century, I think.

> France's investment in renewable has actually been even worse in terms of results than Flamanville.

so what? France inefficiently invests into renewables, thus renewables aren't the answer and we wait for a miracle?

what does good enough mean? not as cheap as burning subsidized natural gas?

The ergonomics of the original Amiga mouse wasn't too bad - not great, but not bad either. My gripe with it was how noisy it was, and that the buttons often began exhibiting numbness after just a few years of use.
Warehousing parts adds "fire at the warehouse" risk. You could have redundant warehouses, sure, but at some point you have to decide how much expense and operational complexity you're willing to tolerate to remove more 9s of risk.
After USSR was abolished, why NATO was not abolished ? The main aim of NATO is to demolish Russia and divide it in dozens of small countries depending on USA for their survival. Second aim is to control Europe by USA. There is not one single European country which can stand up to USA. Asia is divided because of China, the worse expansionist country the world has seen, Africa is busy in tribal wars, South America is kept poor by USA and indulge in overthrowing governments which are not lackeys of USA. UK, a Pakistani colony, is using Muslims in India for further partition, this time it is hijab insurgency. In 1947, it was Jinnah, this time it is Owaisi, an Iranian migrant. Wpnder when Hindus will wake up.
I don't have the Moonlander, but on their Ergodox EZ the LEDs can easily be disabled.
I wonder how much the traditional British pessimism has to do with the fact our winters are an SAD magnet if there ever was one, very short days due to the high latitude and the kind of grey soul-penetrating dampness of it being just cold enough to make you miserable but not cold enough for the ground to ever properly freeze for long. I definitely found taking vitamin D supplements helps with the seasonal blues, I'd try a daylight simulating lamp but I have quite severe photophobia issues.

I think \\?\ paths require backslashes.
Yes, Reach media is notorious for the crapness of it's UX experience. It's presumably designed that way intentionally, I mean, they must know.

I have no idea of the thinking behind it but I hope the devs, testers and designers behind it hide that part of their experience on their CVs.

I mean, the shame they must feel.
Yes. The ML deployment space is one of the fastest developing frontiers I've seen in my 15 years of professional development, giving even the React&friends solid competition. My intuition says either a major ML/AI enterprise player will either develop or acquire what will become the dominant deployment framework. Business will re-orient around it and copycats will pick up the crumbs.
Just adding information as I understand this is hard to follow (especially if you're not from Europe) but there were supplies from many countries delivered already. For example Czech Republic already sent a third shipment of weapons of all kind. Danish government allowed Danish to fight for Ukraine if they choose to. The support is coming from all directions.

I would personally think next ones would be non NATO or non EU countries like Moldova. Then countries that are on Russia's list up high like Lithuania.
Fair point, I didn’t consider that. If the units aren’t on the rental market, it won’t affect pricing power even if they’re unoccupied.
Zero-cost exceptions aren’t zero cost
I get why 16:10 is preferable (I'd like 4:3 even more, or even 1:1 on a desktop), what I don't understand is the incentive to push 16:9. Is it just because less pixels -> fewer expenses.
ZSA Moonlander is great, but don't go crazy on reprogramming all of the keys like I did because it'll be too hard to get real work done. My current plan is to use the Moonlander only for VR where I can't see the keys and will have to relearn how to type anyway.
Maybe UK kids are smarter, but I feel like fractals are a lot for 7 to 8. Maybe 10 or 11? At least let them know how decimals work first, otherwise fractal dimension wouldn't even make sense.
According to the Bar website:

>>>The site owner (of judyrecords) claims that the State Bar’s confidential and public case records were all previously available at a public URL. Is this true?

>>>The State Bar Court website allows the public to search for publicly available case information. The extent to which the external aggregating website was able to obtain nonpublic information that was stored in the Odyssey case management system is still being investigated.

I am inclined to believe judyrecords, until proven otherwise.
Something that stuck out to me about that website is that we really do publish a lot. If you ever had a speeding ticket, that’s a matter of public record now. If you ever had a parking violation, that’s a matter of public record. I mean to be honest, if you just have a car, I can probably find you on that website if I know your name.

Also goes for divorces. By and large I agree with your take, but playing around with the search got me thinking that maybe we just make too much a matter of public record and that some things might just be too noisy, even if it isn’t the biggest privacy violation per se. Still mulling it over though, so I can’t say I’m committed to that position yet, feel free to talk me back.
To the "experience" point, one of my all time best meals was crab at a three star restaurant. I like crab but it's normally not special to me. This was crab and almost nothing else prepared in four different ways that made the taste and texture entirely different. I'd never have ordered a dish described like that at a lower rated restaurant. It's not a meal I'd want to order over and over. But it's a meal I still remember fondly more than 20 years later.
Sorry, that one is a fish tank cleaner, but still easily available.
Does anyone have some context around this decision? If literal Hitler wasn't enough to make the good 'ol Confederatio Helvetica break its neutrality, why do so when figurative Hitler rolls out the tanks?

All good points, and the only thing I'll add is that, for me, the utility of mental math (and putting it into practice often) is that it strengthens your mathematical intuition--you start to know, and even feel how numbers work. Having strong mathematical intuition that is reinforced by even basic/rudimentary mental math abilities is indeed a real superpower.
If you go custom ones, all kind of of combination is there but premade is not so much, plain ergodox ez would be the closed of what you want.

Of course having more effective insulation is a good thing, but that's not the case we're talking about here: were talking about "staying at reasonable temperatures" thanks to your neighbors.
