> Don't know what I expected with the acquisition though.

A business buys a product for 2.5Bn, there's going to want to make 10Bn in return.
For sure. I certainly have trusted a significant single digit percentage of my wealth in Ethereum. But that's only predicated on them using PoW. I own no PoS tokens.

I will likely dump my Eth once they lock in PoS and it becomes clear that they can't back peddle.

You don't need deep learning for state-of-the-art image/texture upscaling. The GIMP or Imagemagick with a Lanczos-like method give you that basically out of the box, and the underlying method could easily be optimized for GPU use. AIUI, even AMD's FSR does not use deep learning, and the results are very good quality.
I had the opposite experience. I started with classes, and anytime I had to do anything even slightly complicated I had to go running for the docs. The lifecycle methods are byzantine and frequently require not only overriding the method, but checking the values of parameters to determine the proper sequence of operations.

In contrast, useEffect() is "exactly what I want" without having to figure out what combination of lifecycle methods to implement.

I'll grant you that this could have been done differently - I'm not a fan of the "order of calls represents hidden state" mechanism for hooks. It's possible to imagine a different API for class components that provides ergonomics similar to useEffect() and useState(). But hooks are still an improvement over the old class component API.

>if they start considering RISC an a real threat to them

I'm afraid they have seen RISC-V as a threat for a while now. It has already been years since their first FUD campaign.

>if ARM started allowing everyone to use their IP for free you would expect them to survive?

That's not how I see ARM surviving.

One way ARM could survive is by doing what the MIPS owners did: Abandon the ISA, move to RISC-V, use your extensive expertise to make competitive cores, and your clout in the market to sell them to your pre-existing clients.

They could totally pull it off, but it would honestly surprise me if they did so, considering how poorly they've dealt with RISC-V so far.
I want to support Mozilla but WTF is this? No thank you.
These things are only as good as their dataset. I selected remote, full stack, and 7+ years of experience and got zero results. Opened that up to 6+ years and there are two results. That isn't exactly a rare profile today and doesn't speak well to the size of their dataset.

The funny thing is that this calculator was most likely created as a promotional tool to drive people to VanHack's job board. However the current version is actually working against that goal. I have no interest in using their site once I see that not a single senior full stack engineer has been hired on their site for a remote position in the last year.

This is not a reliable dataset.

Yes, with a 50k salary, after renting a tiny apartment in Toronto, they would be left with just over $1200. Which is pretty much just enough to feed yourself.
The answer is obvious: get rid of sales taxes. They are the stupidest most regressive taxes we have. They are cumbersome, and they screw with price transparency, and they shouldn't exist.

Incidentally, I support taxes in general and think we need more taxes on a lot of things. But taxes add cost to specific activities, and so they should be used to reduce those activities. Now, we don't want the perverse incentive of government relying on tax revenue and thus otherwise wanting to promote the activity. So, we need to find a balance in all these things. But like taxes on stock-trading would be good. And we should probably increase property taxes and just do the simple thing where property tax rates go up the more properties an entity holds (that makes it harder for investment companies to buy up all the properties and gouge everyone with high rents).

But for all the justified complexity of tax policy decisions, sales taxes are the worst and should just be eliminated.
Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2022)
I've greatly enjoyed all the "what are you working on" threads of the past. I think it's a great opportunity for makers and hackers to showcase their projects, and very in line with the monthly "who is hiring" threads. I'm hoping for it to become a similar tradition.

With that said, what are you working on HN?

FCPA actually allows facilitating payments for things like this. No one will prosecute you for it in the US.

Of course, Ericsson did get FCPA sanctioned for other stuff since they paid kickbacks etc. It’s actually quite fascinating. The real victim here is the foreign state that is suffering from the corruption but US law protects them. I suppose it’s anti-trust sort of law. It retains competition for fair-playing US companies.

Definitely an interesting positive-externalities US law.
I was skeptical because of the cost, but it's honestly been a hugely valuable investment for my work. I don't even turn wifi on and don't care about syncing.

All I want is something I enjoy using to write notes throughout the day, sketch out ideas, and organize my day.

Yes, there's a trillion other tools, software, apps, paper notebooks, whatever that I could use to do this. The point for me is that I didn't use those things. I do use the Remarkable and I love it.
> Note from the article

The "SSLStore" is not the definitive source on the definition of a backdoor. It's just an EV certificate merchant.

Authorization plays a role in whether or not something is a backdoor. It's not a rigid definition because language isn't actually rigid, backdoors are defined in part by whether or not they're expected and wanted by the end-user, which is inherently a fuzzy category. But it's silly to say that any access method authorized or not is a backdoor, by that logic my own encrypted computer hard drive has a glaring backdoor in the form of me knowing the passphrase for it.
There is a level of financial means and sophistication that is required admittedly.

Russian government systematically shuts down free press, murders or imprisons leaders of oppositions and rigs elections.

The last elections to the Russian parlament were obviously rigged, and yet international community recognized them as valid. Russian opposition is fighting an uphill war with government for literally decades without any help from the other countries. Hundreds to thousdands of people are detained every day for protesting against the war.

Yes, support ratings for Putin are quite high — because there’s no free media and everyone trying to spread truth is promptly dealt with.

Nobody cared when Russia ignored the decision of ECHR to free Navalny. Nobody cared when Nemtsov was murdered. This situation is not new, it’s the result of the decades-long policy of “let Putin get away with any crimes against his country and international law as long as we get oil and gas”.
Code review is broken. A gate-keeper blocks progress by nitpicking every commit. They feel powerful and useful, though the opposite is true.

Everybody has one; everybody has a story. It's endemic.

I propose each time a code reviewer completes their comment they hit 'approve' and move on. Leave it to the engineer to decide what changes to embrace and which are noise. They are, after all, the expert on the code they changed.

Android programmer. I have worked at startups, and at large companies as well.

Other than Javascript (including React Native), I have some experience in a lot of IT tech things, including devops/SRE type work (although my current knowledge is slightly dated in 2022). Primarily I am interested in programming Android, which is what I have been focused on for a while.
I've been imagining a taxation system where any bank account is actually two bank accounts, one pre-tax and one post, with an obvious identification difference (like odd/even ID numbers). Then you could pay e.g. your plumber knowing that your payment will be properly taxed, and all deductibility games your tax system might like to have would simply be dealt with by paying from the pre-tax account. IRS equivalents would have access to the pre-tax transactions, done. That would be all the tax bureaucracy you could ever need. Perhaps pre-tax purchases could even be public? Not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing, I'd like to hope that it might shift public perception of tax loopholes from "something clever" to "something to be ashamed of". Taler sounds like it could eventually lead to a setup like that.

The whole point of a public blockchain is for it to be trustless. Why do you even need to factor in achieving 'Large scale trust' with the largest Ethereum stakeholders to not say, attempt to revert a massive hack in 2016 to save the investors lost money?

Why should I have to trust them to not do that again if another hack happened, even if they migrate to PoS and it causes a giant fork once again?

My initial reaction is "wow this is incredibly stupid," but my second take is, wouldn't it be nice to be able to walk around with someone on a video call? I think a 3D space like this will always suffer as when compared to a video game, and it might also suffer when compared to productivity software, ie, Zoom, but I think as a new avenue this could have some kind of utility. Certainly, compared to World of Warcraft this is very boring, and compared to a Google Meet you're probably not going to be as productive on a work call, but maybe there's something to a format that's not just an uninterrupted view of someone's face for an hour while you catch up.

The meta here however, which is Mozilla focusing on yet another random product, is alarming, and I think a lot of people in the comments are responding to that, probably fairly.
Do yourself a favor and order a stylus with a dedicated eraser button while you're waiting, I personally can't stand having to click up top to change to erasing mode and then go back to where I was to erase stuff, and their touch gesture activated erasing is kind of janky and inconsistent. Other than that though I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I hear the D compiler has pretty fast compile times. I'm not sure how low the syntactic noise can be gotten. Of course, with very slow compiles it will mostly seem not very pointful.

It works with a C backend [1], too, and TinyCC/tcc can compile & launch programs in 1-2 milliseconds - faster than the start up time of most interpreters, actually. With a quick changeover to 'gcc -O3' for bigger data inputs/a more saved-away-tool. Personally, I find the C backend too syntactically noisy and Nim programs run as fast as optimized C anyway. So, I only ever use the Nim one.

Anyway, I think it's probably at least a good teaching tool for kids to get comfortable with code generation thinking, etc. A DSL you invent yourself might be easier to remember than a brand new foreign prog.language like sed/awk/'perl -na' that also have implicit loops. With Python you could probably get pretty far just doing 'eval'. At the least, even if you cannot remember your own DSL, well then this will help you appreciate the challenge prog.language designers face. So, either way it's kind of a pedagogical win.

And even if you don't connect CSV column headers with variables/etc, as Ben observes it's not an awful way to test out little "How do I use this <MY PROG LANG> library?" utterances. Bash/zsh become your repl with their shell history/etc.

Forward secrecy is just forgetting the secret key material. The trick is the do it in a convenient way. In the case of something offline capable like OpenPGP over email, the inconvenience is in having to redistribute your keys before forgetting the secret key. You don't even have to reestablish any trust, that just works.

I did a demonstration using GnuPG to provide a practical example:

I am not an idiot. I may occasionally be ill informed resulting in sub optimal decisions or advice. Which is kind of the point of the question. How do you evaluate information? Do you trust Big Media? Do you trust grainy videos from the war zones? So you trust the declaration of the leaders at war?

I don't think there's a clear cut answer to any of these questions. Your truth will be a mix of your prejudices and the incoming information.
