> they must have a stockpile of chips in case of war

They would also prepare enough fuel and rations for the front in case of a war, but we have seen that they did not. Maybe they thought it was just an exercise.

IMHO, this is adequately explained by stupidity.
Yeah we should be careful, next thing you know they'll ask you to get a license to drive a car and they'll inject you vaccines at birth, imagine that ah, what kind of totalitarian hellscape that would be.

They banned Putin's personal propaganda channels and a hate symbol used by people supporting an actual totalitarian regime who's currently invading a country and slaughtering civilians, don't get confused on who's wrong here.

And don't forget that the US freedom of speech is an anomaly, not the norm, both in term of application and in term of ideals
surprised he didn't claim insanity; seems like a slam dunk.
You talk about not being able to resell the cosmetics because valve doesn't allow, but many games on steam allow that, and it's up to the developer to implement the integration with steam market. It probably also gets harder to implement if the game is available in more than one storefront/platform.

You can't withdraw the money from steam, you can only spend it on other games or the market, but there are some 3rd party sites that you to sell these cosmetics and withdraw the money, but thrusting them is up to you.

Like an app where you input your opinion on an issue, and you can find businesses with leadership or lobbying efforts that don't oppose you? You'd run out of places to shop pretty quickly with 5 corporations run by oligarchs that own basically all consumer products in America.
I'm convinced that the only people who actually make what they are worth (at least in my industry) are people who either contract or start their own business. During my grad school years, my PI contracted with other companies for a minimum of $300 an hour, but I've seen others in the industry with higher rates. The higher up you go in our company go from being able to reimburse a couple thousand dollars in travel, to capping out at over 8 figures. The way I see it, being self employed is the only way for most people to achieve these types of numbers. Now I don't have aspirations to ever work at those levels, I'm more focused on being debt free in the next ten years so I don't have to work such a high powered job, and I can retire early. But when I see compensation numbers like that, it certainly makes me think twice about picking up more than my fare share of work just to generate good will within the company.
Lord, not my last boss. Basically was dividing salary by # of Jira tickets to measure productivity even for architects and directors. I got out of their asap.

As a BUYER, the FB marketplace experience is TERRIBLE. Seriously, it's beyond bad. Searching for an item gives you different listings every. single. time. It's a dice roll if the faceted search works. And that's on top of the usual cruft of selling online - the requisite "is this available?" and ghosting being the most annoying. I'm a member of several B/S groups and half the content is split between posts and marketplace items and searching between them is obnoxious.

Full disclosure - I use the mobile web experience because I refuse to install the app. I would rather Craiglist 8 days a week, but because FB has the user already there, logged in, they've gained a lot of traction with a seriously inferior product.
There are some real positives to self-driving cars, but the negatives concern me far more.

A lot of people who have great trust in the system probably won't see this as an issue until its too late, but one of the things that greatly concerns me about this notion of self-driving cars is its possible negative impact on human freedom.

To some extent, a car represents freedom because its a tool that lets you go anywhere you want to go without requesting permission from anybody. Particularly for cars with internal combustion engines, the ability to quickly fuel up and travel anywhere affords you some measure of control over your life and choices, particularly in an emergency.

A car that's run on software is effectively no longer yours and cannot be relied on as a tool to ensure control over your own fate. And electric cars (at least current versions) cannot quickly be refueled in the same way.

A corporation decides to demand extra payments for some software that lets you travel on highways? What can you do about it when your new car is maxed out the wazoo with DRM?

Government decides that it doesn't want its subjects to travel too far? Software update refuses to take you anywhere besides approved destinations and alerts authorities. This is no longer dystopian speculation or some distant past authoritarian experience: we've seen in modern western democratic countries in very recent experience that it was made illegal to travel too far from your house.

I love a lot of the tech behind Teslas and electric cars, but I don't trust the scenario where my car can be manipulated entirely by software and there's no absolute fully physical manual override that ensures a human can control it.
Online play typically involves servers to authoritatively host the game. It’s not just “the Internet”.
This is the first time I've felt compelled to post on Hacker News given this fits me so well, so thanks for that. I've definitely got a few thoughts on the steps I took that I feel correlated best with the confidence and satisfaction with my social life I've had for the past three years or so:

- Talk to strangers: This one goes against the age-old wisdom your parents taught you as a kid, but I now often work from cafes and occasionally bars, and generally I'll find an excuse to strike up one or two conversations per visit to a cafe with someone who seems interesting. I've found it incredibly helpful to feel socially connected with those around me, get comfortable practicing in a low-risk environment where you'll likely never see those around you again, and to remind myself that most people are good and friendly and open to communication

- Say yes to things: When offered a chance to go to a party, or to a work thing at a bar, or to a random ski trip someone just barely managed to snag a deal for, do it. These opportunities tend to build on each other

- Ask lots of people out: This one is specific to dating. I realized after a while that asking people out is incredibly low-risk. The worst thing that happens is they can say no, and you continue the conversation as if nothing had happened. Then actually go on the dates. Incredible confidence builder, because it works

- Seek out scary things: For my last tip, when friends suggest karaoke, do a shot and grab the mic. When you see someone pretty across the bar, remember that there's no real difference in outcome between not saying hi and getting turned down. An opportunity not taken isn't a middle-ground between success and failure, it's a failure. The more things you try, the more comfortable you get trying more things, and the more confident you get overall. Oh, and you also have a lot of fun along the way.
You're actually helping me make my point: Even if their own currency gave them the illusion of stability during their lifetime, that can only mean they have no knowledge of history or other countries where currencies have crashed. Hence, their illusion is based on having a meaty head.
One important difference is that, even when you don't specifically claim so, one can assume that you have been to the restaurant down the street enough times to observe a trend, whereas BitwiseFool's post seems to be pure speculation from an outsider's perspective.
> But if you think they are so meaningless, why do you think people buy them?

Because they're fun.

Some people are willing to spend $5 so that their Rocket League car is the Batmobile. It has no effect on the mechanics of the game (Your car's hitbox is still the same, and it has the same speed/acceleration), but makes the game that much more enjoyable for the player.

In Splitgate (F2P FPS), I bought the battle pass for $10 because I wanted my assault rifle to look like it was made of cardboard. The damage and accuracy didn't change. It's a purely cosmetic effect that I thought was amusing.

> How do microtransactions feed developers? Do you just mean because its their job to build the game? (which necessarily includes the various monetisation systems)

Don't act like you think you know what was meant. It's annoying and smells like bad faith.
Since no one has mentioned China yet,I'll go ahead. What you are suggesting was done in China through the hukou system, to devastating effect. Paired with top-down mismanagement of farmland, it led to widespread famine.

Yeah, the existence of memLevel is basically a historical quirk. The total memory used by zlib at default memLevel and windowBits is under 300KB (it needs one 256KB buffer and a few small additional allocations). There's not a lot of environments left where it makes sense to run zlib where that's too much.
Reminds me of: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/d9a7205be/net/ts...

// tunMTU is the MTU we set on tailscale's TUN interface. wireguard-go
// defaults to 1420 bytes, which only works if the "outer" MTU is 1500
// bytes. This breaks on DSL connections (typically 1492 MTU) and on
// GCE (1460 MTU?!).
//
// 1280 is the smallest MTU allowed for IPv6, which is a sensible
// "probably works everywhere" setting until we develop proper PMTU
// discovery.

And: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9000/ (sec 14)

The maximum datagram size is defined as the largest size of UDP
payload that can be sent across a network path using a single UDP
datagram. QUIC MUST NOT be used if the network path cannot support a
maximum datagram size of at least 1200 bytes.

QUIC assumes a minimum IP packet size of at least 1280 bytes. This
is the IPv6 minimum size [IPv6] and is also supported by most modern
IPv4 networks. Assuming the minimum IP header size of 40 bytes for
IPv6 and 20 bytes for IPv4 and a UDP header size of 8 bytes, this
results in a maximum datagram size of 1232 bytes for IPv6 and 1252
bytes for IPv4. Thus, modern IPv4 and all IPv6 network paths are
expected to be able to support QUIC.

| Note: This requirement to support a UDP payload of 1200 bytes
| limits the space available for IPv6 extension headers to 32
| bytes or IPv4 options to 52 bytes if the path only supports the
| IPv6 minimum MTU of 1280 bytes. This affects Initial packets
| and path validation.

Any maximum datagram size larger than 1200 bytes can be discovered
using Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMTUD) (see
Section 14.2.1) or Datagram Packetization Layer PMTU Discovery
(DPLPMTUD) (see Section 14.3).
I dont

I dont have much critical information or useful things on my computer so security is not my top priority. I found most anti virus just gets in the way

Windows defender does an alright job, and dosent get in the way. As long as your smart about where you go and what you download I would say your probably ok, depending on how critical your security is.
I have not come across any solid resources that actually lay out the theory of MMT. DO you have any recommendations?
Indeed. But in this case, it took me a while to figure out what exactly "high assurance rust" actually is :)
So wouldn't that apply to the lights described in the article this thread is about? How can the article say those are safe?
Please do not say "in Europe" to mean "in Germany". Your draconian laws hold no sway over me or most Europeans.
> That is a surefire way to burn out.

Any source on that? I agree with the assessment about engineers (althought it's a generalization), but I always thought it was because their "focused work" is what they actually like doing. In my experience work was most stressful when it strayed the most from focused work.
> To be precise UA may take out some tanks with Javelins, but I'd guess it's very tiny minority of tanks. It's a really bad investment. You need 3-7 shots for a tank (40%-30% miss, active and passive protections, $100k for a single shot). The best way to take out a tank is to cut the fuel and ammunition supply and this is what UA does.

Do you have a source for that?

>>> Javelins don't cause this kind of damage. People with military experience would know that.

>> Not necessarily. I'm sure there are plenty of people with military experience who wouldn't know that (e.g. don't have experience with Javelin missiles for one of numerous valid reasons). It's like someone can have lots of programming experience, but not know some specific about how Java works because they haven't worked with Java.

> Maybe it's like someone can have lots of programming experience, but not know what for loop is. I'm not sure.

No, I'd say it's more like an embedded C programmer not being able to recognize symptom of the Java garbage collector going awry. Being able diagnose from a photograph what kind of weapon was used to destroy a tank seems like an extremely specialized kind of military experience.
Note that the ban was for sales to minors (under the age of 18) not to all citizens. It also disallowed advertisement, of course, so probably there was a noticeable impact on sales. It probably didn't stop teenagers from getting the game anyhow as piracy was rampant those days and being "on the index" made it extra attractive to many.

The situation has improved a lot these days after an amendment in 2003. There is an industry board (USK) giving age recommendations (0+, 6+, 12+, 16+, 18+) and if a game has been rated 18+, shops will not sell it to minors. Importantly, if a game has been rated by this board, it can no longer be put onto the index maintained by that Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors. So the far-reaching restrictions against advertisement no longer apply.

The big studios sucking has, for better or worse, reduced the amount of time I spend on games.

They don't survive if they don't do something right. Compare that to the big studios who churn out their yearly releases, and get by because they're still milking a cash cow that dominates the 'gaming' headspace for people who prefer to turn on a console and stay busy.
Password-free authentication. Passwords seem so archaic, I'd love to see them fall out of style already. Whether it's biometric or yubikey, I'll take whatever.
Could be when humans understand God, but that will never happen on our own. That's why God sent His Son, so humans could understand everything they need to about their creator.

Same with machines, a human will eventually need to go into the machine world and let the machines destroy him, so they can analyze and take upon themselves the human coding, thus machines will be able to understand humans.
We can all be upset that russians are ruining a perfectly good letter, just as nazis ruined a perfectly good symbol, and hitler ruined a perfectly good mustache.

I wouldn't punch someone wearing that mustache style, but I'd also find it super gross regardless.

I don't have that shirt, but if I did, I also wouldn't wear it, and I would find it a waste. Sometimes, people ruin things for you. Life sucks. My SO's sister lost her home in Kyiv to the bombs, I think I could live with just losing a shirt.
Unless, of course, passwords were no longer made an option. Pushing down the energy of alternatives that are secure enough is important work.
> We have studies on the outcomes of things like corporal punishment

Really, though, if you understand what a study is, and the principles it must live up to to avoid inaccurate conclusions, wouldn’t you have to say that the effects of corporal punishment is almost impossible to study?

To do it right they’d need to get rick and mortys help to bounce between dimensions.

(I am sorry you suffered abuse, and I too wish more could be done to stop it).
Well that's your definition. I'd recommend reading about the history of Europe and its philosophers, you'd discover many version of freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance, &c.

I can't speak for others, but for me freedom of speech is the absolute highest right, and the other rights are (for the most part) either subservient to it, or directly supporting it.

The First Amendment grants freedom of speech.

The Second Amendment is useful because it lets you defend yourself against powers that try to forcibly take away that right to speech.

The Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment are useful because they keep the military from moving in (to your property) to intimidate or hinder your speech, or to drum up other charges or steal your property to punish you for your speech.

The Fifth Amendment is useful to keep you out of a Kafka-esque nightmare where you're not officially breaking speech laws, but the government punishes you via an unfair judicial system.

Etc. for the remaining Bill of Rights.

The reason that I personally value this freedom so highly isn't that others should be able to speak, it's that I should have the right to hear whatever I want that others have to say.

If I want to go listen to speeches by a neo-nazi fringe group to understand what drives them, I cherish that right and would begrudge any system that says I'm not allowed to. How can one expect to understand the world of they're not even allowed to hear the words or observe the true personal expression of those they disagree with most strongly?

Likewise, in America the skepticism of government is pretty deep-seated, so I have no faith that granting a government body regulatory rights over some speech which I don't like wouldn't soon snowball into government using those same rights against speech I do like. Better to never grant such decision-making to the government in the first place.

This is just my personal take, so take with many grains of salt, but thought it might be helpful in explaining some of the underpinning American ethos (since I know that stuff can be hard to translate cross-culture)
That "zero surplus" living sounds like a nice balance. As I get older,

You are looking at your own experiences I guess. In edtech it is common for large classrooms to suddenly come online and do things in tight coordination and no predictive scaling isn’t predictable enough for this problem. You can also look at ecommerce, Black Friday type events to see how capacity planning can easily require runway on spare capacity before scaling can react several minutes in.

Do you think EC2 capacity on AWS is on average kept in high utilization? Everyone runs (non truly elastic resources) with headroom to varying degrees
Do you think we should have some cap on wages as well, to keep things fare on the other side of the equation?
I generally think news(a majority of it) is shameless drivel with extreme bias to certain perspectives. That being said with the pandemic and all the changing laws/issues surrounding it, not to mention covid community case counts were invaluable to understand. I would completely abandon the news in a heartbeat but I trade stocks and need to understand world news along with business dealings for me to make intelligent trading decisions.

Limburg and Brabant are in the present day a lot more religious than Gelderland, as is Zeeland and a large chunk of the area North-East and East of Amersfoort.

NL is percentage wise (or rather, was) one of the countries were religion was 'on the way out', unfortunately that trend seems to have first stabilized and is now reversing. It's a pity because personally I think religion should have absolutely no place in politics or organized society, though I do believe that people should be free to practice whatever religion they want as long as it does not negatively affect others.
> It's funny how people keep reinventing things.

That's not exactly fair. The entire point of this exercise is to move away from C code, by implementing it in a memory safe language (Go).

Since PAM uses shared-libraries to operate, that's fundamentally incompatible here since Go is statically compiled (unless you use some CGO like in https://github.com/msteinert/pam) so implementing auth via Caddy's module system is the way to go for this project.
So maybe let's discuss specific examples where these laws go overboard, instead of alluding to hypothetical arguments while the concrete symbol under discussion directly supports genocide?

I'm an American and generally free speech / free communications absolutist, but it's weird to be taking issue with this in the existing context of Germany. From my own American perspective, I also consider the zwastika to be in a similar boat as the swastika.
