… this seems like a convenient way to allow the EU to provide their own CAs who will be willing to cooperate in issuing MitM certs, achieving the goal irrespective.

Certificate Transparency will surely help with this, assuming that they don’t try to override that too, but I’m curious to research now and see if the EFF is taking note of this.
Ask HN: How do you get work done while there is a war in Europe?

But that very same argument, the use of an electoral collage of course also means the US president is not elected, since people's vote only choose electors.
Nice to have this as an aggregate of EOLs. Also didn't realize AL2 was hitting EOL so soon. I hope they have a better upgrade path for AL2022 than they did for AL2, which was "I don't know, figure it out" if I recall.
This was said verbatim in a TED talk titled "Why does the universe exist"
There was a hacker group several years ago that had some major hacks in their day.

But then they kind of fizzled out after the arrests of their leaders, with dozens of people arrested for involvement. With many of the big names in the group arrested, the rest broke away and disappeared, doing whatever they do now.

However, the name still had impact and popularity, so grifters set up Twitter news channels, claimed to members, blah blah blah. It's like "Dread Pirate Roberts" now.
I would guess the more you extend the comparison the worse it gets for combustion cars. Most people get their electricity from natural gas plants delivered through a pipeline, and there is a future prospect to shift this to more renewables. Oil is pumped and delivered to a refinery, then the gas is put on a truck, and delivered to a gas station. All these things require either electricity or gas to run.
Absolutely not Kirtaner.

Yes. It doesn’t pick up everything. I’m just parsing the dom and checking for apparent things like script tags etc. I could have used puppeteer or similar to check all requests made, but the user experience became very slow, so I skipped that.

No new information in the article that would make this prediction any more likely. We're gonna need real measures if we want to cut use of gas and coal. Extending use of nuclear a bit more would be one. Cutting down subsidies to the meat and dairy industry is another. We need radical measures if we want radical results. But no one is willing to take then, not at a personal level (go vegan) and for sure not at a corporate level.
The article advocates conducting trials in a single country, to massively simplify the complexity. I understand the attraction, but doesn't that lead to drugs that work fine for that population, but not for others (less effective and/or more side effects)? If I recall correctly I have recently read articles that some drugs are already too specific to one population, and not enough information is available about best treatment options for other populations.

I imagine doing trials in a single country only increases the risk of that happening.
Why would Russia go back to communism without Putin? He didn't cause the downfall of Communism. Their default could be many things, but reinstating the USSR is not one of them.

Also some subjects, particularly highly charged political content that while important and deserving of careful consideration I would simply prefer to discuss elsewhere, do not show up in my feed.

I think consumption per capita should be considered too
I live in Germany and this to me sounds like a bad joke...
In the last years:

- Harder laws to build renewable energy source

- windmills that create electricity are banned and protested against in villages.

- solar parks are not build because they look bad

- EEG-Umlage which should be a tax to create more renewable sources will be terminated this year

- RWE is destroying villages to mine coal

- north stream 2 needed a war to not be finished

Hope this explains why it sounds like a joke
Yes, to assign an additional 100.000.000.000 € to the military budget, as well as increase in additionally in the future.

Let's hope at least a part of that amount would be used for achieving an energy independence, as the military goal number one.
Germany has a lot of Renewable already built out and today they are burning lignite to keep lights on. I do not know what they mean renewable here -- unless they are going to do a France w.r.t Nuclear. This is a pipe-dream.
Good question.

I hope they make sure, municipalities can't wiggle their way out of building windparks anymore.
If you are replacing a previous manager, you could ask him. He'd probably give you the best recommendation tailored specifically for your office/business domain/environment. In my experience, manager's/tech lead would recommend books. But a good habit in general is to proactively look at your manager's/tech lead's library if they have one in their office.
This says that England and Wales report 14.8 cases of salmonella per 100k people.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

And this says in the US it's 17.8. https://wonder.cdc.gov/nndss/static/2019/annual/2019-table1....

So the UK reports fewer cases but not significantly fewer per capita.

Also many salmonella cases are not from chicken. The US for instance reports outbreaks caused by pet lizards and many other kinds of food from mangoes to salami.

This sounds like one of those ideas that's mathematically very pure but sort of nonsensical otherwise. Basically there are an ~infinite number of universes being created every 1 'units of time' where that unit is ~0.

IDK, I guess the whole speed of light thing is really silly too in a way, but that's provably true.

This just feels really nuts. I guess it's like... where do all of these universes live? I get that our universe expands into whatever, but that seems trivial compared to a theory where every single quantum action leads to a new universe.
I think one of German's most significant mistakes of the past decade was the decision to phase out their nuclear power generation.

It's true, especially in software. That's why salaries/TC are going through the roof. This is also why it is fair to expect developers/engineers to push back on unethical practices -- we have a lot more power than a lot of us think.
That's fantastic that you got your stuff back. I'm very happy that my absolutist statement was proven wrong in this case.
The financial system is controlled by the US, so it's just another weapon for the US to wield. Countries that want to remain sovereign (independent of the US) like China and Russia would do well to avoid it, and create an alternative system.

France in a NATO member and did not participate in the Irak war.

This war has nothing to do with NATO. It just happens to be waged by countries which are also in NATO, but the two are unrelated.

And the claim that the Irak war was just (a bullshit claim that only hardcore us republican still make with a straight face) is unrelated to the claim that the ukrain war is unjust.

I see a lot of people calling random people pro Russian for saying anything that goes against the status quo. It has been happening since around 2016. Basically if you didn't vote for a Democrat it meant that people everywhere were calling you Russians.

Also, if you did any minor research about the CIA, even reading Wikipedia articles about the various operations they've been involved in, the idea of them coopting a hacker group isn't far fetched. If you want proof, then they wouldn't be Anonymous anymore would they?

The Soviet Union is ancient history and was rightfully removed from the contemporary zeitgeist. It collapsed because of its own misdeeds, just as the West is doing. And WW2 was a LONG TIME AGO - it is time to stop using WW2 to justify further atrocities in the modern age - we have a new world now. Hitler and Stalin are gone, they can't hurt you any more.

There are other racist tyrants currently murdering innocent people across the globe, and you should be able to name them today, instead of relying on the WW2 trope to justify current atrocities.

What WE did to places such as Baghdad and Mosul and Raqqa and Damascus and Tripoli and Yemen in the last 10-20 years - well, those piles of burning rubble are still smouldering. What we are doing TODAY in Yemen, for example, is far more important than what happened to your grandparents.

Russia has nowhere near the amount of innocent blood on its hands that WE, civilian members of the criminal 5-eyes superstate, do. If you want to do something about peace in the world, prosecute the war criminals in your own society. They're still committing crimes, and we - the people - will have to pay for them anyway.

The real target of your ire should be the very real, currently still active war criminals in your own cabinet/parliament/congress.

Prosecute YOUR war criminals before it is too late.
you grossly underestimate the cost of car rentals and overestimate the value of a scrap metal car.
I don't actually see any way that your local neighborhood restaurant, assuming your local neighborhood is not in the EU, will in any way be covered by the GDPR.

It will for the first be too small to require much record keeping.

Second, it is unlikely to be keeping any personally identifying information from someone using the site while in the EU because nobody is ordering food from a pizza place in NYC while sitting in Napoli. IP address is sometimes PII but more often not.

Thirdly, as your local restaurant does not have any business operations in the EU any potential fines levied against them would probably be unenforceable.

Those are just the top three things that spring to my mind though, pretty sure that there are other reasons the worry is nonsensical.
Kind of insane that they started shutting down nuclear power plants earlier this year and are now more reliant on Russian gas because of it. How is that more green?

> 80% of energy used is in the world is from fossil fuel (...)

That's a clear example of lying with statistics, given that only a very limited number of countries in the world started investing in shifting away from fossil fuels.

It took the EU a massive politically-driven subsidies program to jump-start their own shift to renewables, and currently we're seeing European countries meeting all their country's needs for a few days with their own wind, solar, and hydro.

It's so cheap to make unrealistic promises to accomplish things by a date long after you are out of power.
"Germany’s pledge to shut down all coal-powered plants by 2038, and a decades-old decision to aggressively phase out nuclear energy, have made the country reliant on Russian gas, which has been cheaply flowing toward German shores for decades.

Natural gas makes up 25% of Germany’s total energy consumption, and the country relies on Russia for 55% of its gas supply. If these imports were to suddenly cease, the EU’s largest economy and most populous country would find itself in dire straits."

> but the certificates themselves will not necessarily be "less secure" - which the layman typically interprets as "cryptographically weaker".

I think this is word-games. If all we cared about was cryptographic security we wouldn't have have certificate authorities in the first place, making certificates that are themselves secure isn't hard. The only reason we care about certificate authorities is because of the security of the surrounding process: which is exactly the stuff that Mozilla is complaining about.

You're minimizing the most important part of a certificate authority. It's like going into a discussion about a potential phishing vulnerability and saying, "there's not security risk because the browser requests are still going over SSL."

The point of a certificate authority isn't just to have cryptographically secure certificates, it's to have a secure issuer. So it feels really misleading to completely jump over the concerns Mozilla has laid out about weaker standards for issuer security and say that it's fine just because everything is still encrypted.

There are things in the immediate sphere of your life which you can influence. Telescoping in on tragic events which you have no direct control over doesn't empower you or resolve the underlying tragedy. Remember that there are bad situations on every scale throughout the world, everyday.

The best way to empower yourself is to tackle the things which you can change. The more empowered you are, the more agency you have to tackle tragic events. Although it is unlikely that you will be able to personally prevent wars, there are other smaller problems you can engage with.

NFTs (as defined by ERC721 or whatever it is) by and large end up acting as an interoperable standard that allows the assets to be traded on unified exchanges with assets from other games in a way that doesn't require any of the game developers to have to deal with money transmission issues (as they would only ever sell, not buy or facilitate trade).

Like in some sense all the NFT is to the game you develop is a minimal external yet-trustable representation of the existence of some in-game asset so people can then go and use all of these systems you don't have to worry about to trade it around and then anyone can provide the receipt back to your game later to be the potentially-new owner.

Greg Egan also has a number of stories about people who rebelled against a "many worlds" universe by porting human cognition to run on "Quantum Single Processors," which would carefully isolate themselves from the universe until they had made a single decision across every possible timeline. This didn't prevent them from being "branched" by outside factors, but it at least gave them an approximation of free will.
Here are my thoughts:

1. They tend to be useful, high quality stories.

2. You can usually get around them with archive.is or other means.

any idea why we dont have several operational MSRs at this point?

Agreed. The advice in the article would work if it was about anything, but getting a job. The skills mentioned could be immensely helpful in building a network of people ("allies"?) for the purpose of getting customers for your startup, meeting other founders and even meeting angels and VCs to fund raise.

Please don't use it to get a job. There are objective criteria that companies would like to think they're using to hire the most qualified candidate (reality is probably very different). That's the best way to assure you don't hire non-performers and avoid the huge liability associated with choosing an arbitrary hiring process in many states.

Basically, with the addition that in some cases you will have to take special effort to make inference local, low-cost, low-power, etc.

The real limiting factor with complex ML models is developing training sets. My experience is that you need 500-1000 left-swipe/right-swipe judgements on texts to build a classification model that is starting to look effective but it might be more like 5000 to get a model that really seems smart. Most people wish they could get results with 5 judgements and seem to think 50 is an awful lot, with the backdrop that one person can make about 2000 judgements a day if they take it seriously. (I've done 5000+ judgements a day for visual recognition tasks for a week and found it's not sustainable because it causes my visual cortex to malfunction.)

Models that do information extraction at the sentence level take more like 20,000 training examples.

So I think the kind of tool you're talking about is only going to have a limited amount of success except for people who have the grit to invest heavily in developing training sets for problems that are really solvable with the models they're working on. I think tools for curating and developing good training sets are the 'missing link'.
This is generally regarded as a bad idea. It's hard to see where that stops without a nuclear war.
