Also, defamation is a creature of common law and therefore state law governs it; there is no Federal defamation law. Ubiquiti filed in federal court under diversity jurisdiction, and likely because they think they'll get a better outcome than they would in state court. But the court still has to adjudicate the substantive claims under VA state law. Procedurally, though, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure apply in Federal court, not state procedural rules.

The cited article suggests that some Federal circuits treat anti-SLAPP statutes as procedural rather than substantive law, and so federal judges might decline to apply them in the cases brought to them.
NaN-boxing is just one way of doing pointer tagging.
Yeah. It's not "what happens when the public lose confidence in academic findings?" It's "what happens when academia is no longer worthy of the public confidence?"

I mean, it's not totally that. But it's sure a big chunk of the problem.
Metal prices rise and fall quite a bit. They have fairly inelastic demand because raw material prices are a small fraction of total costs. A skyscraper may need a lot of steel but in total it’s still a small fraction of total costs. Even just making steel from iron is rather expensive.

A great deal of copper is used in new construction, but the number of outlets in the average new home isn’t going up because raw copper is suddenly 1/3 the price.
Man hacked airline Web site to locate his lost luggage
how would you hack to reach the frontpage on HN? I'm genuinely curious to know if it is possible, think dang said it is quite hard to do so.
The land is going to be your largest expense in the typical case. If you truly can't come up with the money for inputs, how are you going to carry the land? You can often push your land costs until after harvest, but if you don't have the harvest to pay for it... And if you know you won't be able to put a crop in due to budgetary constraints, why wouldn't you rent it out to another farmer? There are lineups of hungry farmers ready to spend whatever it takes to find new ground to work.

I find it hard to believe that land is going to lay fallow this year specifically because of what's going on. Certainly people are adjusting what they plan to grow to optimize for the situation. That is definitely happening.
I see. I think our difference is that I consider the people who (possibly) loan money also customers of the bank, hence owners, if the bank is collectively owned.

I think of loans as a critical part of the bank business because otherwise it's just a glorified safe.
Big Rewrite (History of programming and software development parody song)
I don't follow. California is a industrious state with a diverse portfolio of large industries: from agriculture, resource extraction, entertainment, aerospace, defense, tech, real estate speculation, etc.

Depending on how the market moves for those industries, the state can easily end up with a big surplus or big deficit in any given year. Surpluses and deficits have almost no inertia and aren't very meaningful on their own.

There's naive political pressure to react to them immediately (everybody wants a slice of the surplus; everybody wants to use a deficit to undermine governing party candidate) but it's not responsible governance.

If anything, I'd expect politically ambitious governors to take the bait and spend surpluses immediately on programs or tax cuts that win them attention, which sounds like the opposite of what you're saying.
Javelin missiles: Thank DARPA for Ukraine’s success against Russian tanks
No, that is incorrect.

I'm talking about the data availability requirement that the protocol imposes on nodes if they want to remain connected to the swarm. I'm not sure what you're talking about - data doesn't magically get deleted from the internet with "no trace".
Yikes, for some reason I didn't compute at first that your first few sentences were a form of levity. I was getting ready to respond as if you were that out of touch. haha

As a fairly disgruntled Californian myself, there are fellow Californians I know who aren't that far off from the attitude you described sarcastically. I feel kind of bad because I think they know deep down that reality is gradually no longer reflecting their viewpoint, and they can't admit it. I have a very good long time friend, for instance, whose politics have been pretty much entirely implemented by the state over our lifetimes. He's very much a self-described "progressive", and that puts it lightly (he also considers himself a communist, but he's more bashful about that). He, being a once openly political guy, no longer opens his mouth about these issues because he can't deny that other states and entire other countries with smaller economies are surpassing us in those regards.

Take energy, for instance. California's leaders have stated explicitly many times over the years that we are "leading the nation" and "setting an example for the world" with our policies towards infrastructure, yet what do we have to show for it? Blackouts? Massive wildfires caused by the electrical grid? The closing of nuclear plants? Give me a break.

Then there's the social issues and homelessness. Maybe it's a case of the frog being boiled slowly, because to me I've clearly seen a massive decline in our cities over my lifetime. I'm ashamed to show visitors around LA and refuse to do so at this point because the homeless encampments are so widespread. I'm absolutely for helping the homeless, but we also have this effect where the homelessness has permeated everything.

And yeah, to be stereotypical, our roads are crap, despite how frequently parts of them are closed off for maintenance. Every time I drive in another state, I'm stunned at how nicely paved the highways are. In much of SoCal, you can expect lots of pits, cracks, and seams to cause a bumpy ride. There's even a part of the 210 freeway that, I kid you not, reminds me of that scene from the Pixar movie "Cars" where Lightning has to pour new asphalt on the main road and it comes out all patchy and awful.

Yet there are still people in complete denial or in delusion. The rest of the world has moved on, and because California is too-big-to-fail with its abundance of resources, it's effectively in the "cash cow" phase that most corporations experience where nothing needs to change because the hogs can keep feeding from the trough. Basically, California is the IBM of states; we're old and slow and boring, but everyone's still relying on our mainframes.
Intel to Acquire Israeli startup Granulate for $650M
> I was blown away that Amazon would transfer me to a scammer. I contacted Amazon again and let them know what had happened. Hopefully they will figure out how their guy got this scammers phone number and teach him how to find a 3rd party phone number...

1) Amazon is complicit in shady behavior on their platform, whether it's inventory commingling, sketchy sellers repurposing existing, well-reviewed listings for a totally different product or those bribing customers to leave good reviews with gift cards or free stuff.

2) The tech support number could very well be provided by the seller, and you could've bought the camera from a listing from said seller instead of the real Reolink (if the "real" Reolink even sells on Amazon to begin with). Maybe tech support scammers are now using this as a new lead-generation tactic ("legitimately" sell a high-maintenance product but scam anyone that calls for support?).
This looks awesome! Impressive work!

You mentioned you and your co-founder. Did the two of you build the entire product? Curious how long it took the two of you.
This just brought back memories of openCanvas 1.1b72!

I don't see it in your features, but one of the great things about OC was that it would record your entire process into a file. You could share that file so anyone could playback and pause your process.
How I operated as a Staff engineer at Heroku (2020)
All of my wireless gear and most of my switching is UniFi running against a self-hosted controller without cloud access. This works fine.

However, UniFi Protect is hardware only. You have to have either a UDM, a CloudKey Gen2 Plus, or a UNVR. I bought into Protect a couple years ago and now I'm sort of stuck with it. I _think_ that I could de-provision the cameras from my UNVR and use them standalone with BlueIris or Frigate but I've heard stories that they gimp the RTSP resolution on the G4 Pro camera (of which I have three).
Forget the FM radio, people hardly have commuters any more.

Why is it the worst package manager?
You're right, I'm basically counting all the time it took me to find an envelope and stamps, get lunch, get a bus to the post office, drop it off, and head to a nearby coffee shop :)
> I can trust my bank + the government to keep my money safe.

That's not true everywhere. I live in Argentina and people prefer to have dollars in cash in their houses rather than leaving them in a bank. A few years ago, in 2001, the government took the dollars from the banks and gave them pesos for a lower value. Most banks went broke and people lost their savings and the ones that didn't, gave pesos to people making them lose 75% of their savings. I know similar things happened in other countries too.

Crypto kind of solves that issue. I know some people who prefer to save in DAIs than keep dollars in the bank.
I have quite a low tolerance for this kind of thing, but this song won me over quite quickly and kept delivering. It's clearly written by someone with experience (and scars!) of a lot of different phases of software development.
my first instinct with cooking is to experiment with tweaking variables like salt, heat, etc and see how many different outcomes you can get. unfortunately I hate waste so I don't experiment very much. this is one of the things that drew me away from hardware and towards software: you can test anything, as many times as you want, scrap everything and start over, and all it costs is storage and power. anything physical costs storage and power too, but with the added cost of a lot of waste
I've been using Go for a couple of years now and it's funny: I do not love Go, I just work effectively in it. I am not passionate about it, but I recommend it for absolutely all appropriate use-cases.

It doesnt go for intellectual satisfaction, it goes for getting shit done. You have to respect it for being so radically bland.

I am talking about the people who are making assumptions for others and therefore not allowing them to express themselves.

If you want to talk about groups of people doing things other than this, why did you create two new accounts to reply to me?

I believe you're one of the people I'm talking about, and I don't think you're taking it very well to find out some folks think of you as arrogant.

I'm not surprised you find that, "pretty toxic, tbh", but I stand by what I said. You're not the first "empathetic" person I've talked to who gets unreasonably upset at the notion that their perceived good trait is actually a negative trait.
The slot machine company IGT (now Atronic?) on the AVP platform slots had buttons that were two colour small OLED screens using HDMI as a connector.
In Java or other languages with bounds-checked arrays, you would typically just loop from 0 to the end of the array. In Java the JIT will analyze the loop, see that it is bounded by the length of the array, conclude all accesses are in-bounds and eliminate bounds checks. Virgil does this simple type of bounds check elimination as well in its static compiler, but its analysis is not quite as sophisticated as Java JITs.
You're misunderstanding what this tag is used for: it's to accelerate virtual machines, rather than for memory safety.
> abusing

It starts with language. Insults become 'abuse', and of course 'abuse' should be illegal, right?
I'll admit to being an investor in the field before I say anything about it:

There is a growing field of therapeutics and medicine with a focus on using similar techniques. There's one that's growing pretty quickly in the Vancouver/Montreal/Toronto regions with centres where you can apply for ketamine or MDMA guided therapy. They also psychedelic integration counsellors and therapists. One company in particular recently gained a federal license to supply psilocybin for medical research.

It's encouraging. To me it seems there is undeniably something good there. How it is managed is crucial.

I don't think we've even scratched the surface, yet.
I support this as a matter of policy in terms of recognizing LGBTQ people and respecting their identities. However, I think we'd need to make sure people who choose this optional are aware of potential ramifications when going to a country that doesn't share the current American government's relatively progressive social stances.

For example, China or many middle eastern countries seem likely to add a lot of extra scrutiny to someone who has this on their passport. And even if you are just transiting the airport in such a country, it could increase the skepticism of local authorities or "out" you as someone "deviant" in the terms of that society's norms.

It's unfortunate that it is this way, but we can't really control the behavior of every other country out there, so it's important for travelers to be informed.
The headline is blatantly false[1].

I don't mean to say this is unimpressive or that Kling is anything short of amazing. I am as blown away as everyone else.

But this project (as of the last year or so) has one of the healthiest contributor graphs I've seen lately.

My understanding is that Instant On APs drop their wifi clients when they lose internet access and that this is billed as a feature. Maybe that's changed recently.
The real hack was to get the black macbook off the refurb store for the same price of the new white macbook. Same warranty and apple gave all their refurbs a look over. Sure you didnt get the white box but the regular brown box isn’t bleached but no one cared in 2007 anyways so maybe i’m wrong

> Permission assets are everything. All my success as a writer, right down to this bookstore, has been rooted in the email lists and social media accounts I have built.
Most package managers have lockfiles. Yes, npm's decision to have both "npm install" and "npm ci", just so you can confuse and mislead developers, is a bit silly.

But Ruby's Bundler, for example, has been refusing to run your code if your lockfile is inconsistent for as long as I remember.

Locking dependencies is, generally, a solved problem across most ecosystems (despite node botching its UX). Go doesn't get to claim that it's superior here.

But of course, supply chain attacks are still possible with lock files. Because somebody is going to update your dependencies at some point (often for security reasons). And at that point you might be pulling in a malicious dependency which you haven't carefully vetted (because nobody has time to vet all their dependencies thoroughly nowadays).

That's still an unsolved problem, as far as I know. I don't think that Go has solved it.

I mean a nineteen year old _is_ a teenager by definition
On one hand, I agree.

On the other, preparing for the test is not gaming it. Fundamentally, if there is a test, it is entirely legitimate and expected to prepade for it. Especially when the test measures skills you rarely use outside of test.
I'm glad I am not the only person found this amusing.
If more cisgendered/non-LGBTQ people adopt it for privacy reasons, that could helpfully shield LGBTQ people who might face persecution for having it on their passport in other countries. So maybe a feature, not a bug?
This comparison misses the point. Go requires you to bubble up errors manually, that's the difference.
This is a great project.

I am wondering which litography beam is used to develop the photomask for the state-of-the-art ASML EUV scanner: electron or laser?

And what is the minimum feature size on those quartz(?) photomasks?
Yep.

I also find it very disingenuous how crypto enthusiasts use people in third world countries under oppressive regimes as their go to "why crypto matters" example while they themselves are only actually only in it for a big payday.
This is nonsensical. Caring about disparate mortality rates doesn’t make you the “ultimate racist”, and trying to frame white Americans attitudes as the fault of people willing to speak about the issues they see is just a cynical attempt at trying to justify their preexisting prejudices.
I wonder how there are not more NPM vulnerabilities. We control nothing.

Especially during war.
I bet your Amazon rep just searched for Reolink and clicked on a Google ad that happened to belong to the scammers.
Yes, that is what they say, what they do is largely different. The outcome, and my current view, is that the threat of taxes incentives other kinds of transactions, and when those transactions are not pursued then the remainder of the money available is taxed.

This means do the transactions that are not tax events, do the transactions that are deductible expenses, do the transactions that result in tax credits. Invest in the area or sector experiencing the tax holiday, move to the area with the tax exemption.

No individual politician will say it that way, any individual politician will say the opposite “tax everyone, fair share, yada yada”, but they are politicians, and the political body in aggregate creates tax laws more similar to my observation.

And yes, I can acknowledge that there is a very limited number of things that a wage slave can do to reduce taxes. The tax code awards taking risks, this doesn't mean the employee wont fail and have no remaining ability to exchange time for food and shelter. But if you dont fail, it will continue rewarding you.
I am a Silicon Valley native, graduated from Stanford, worked at Google for a decade. Never felt like I belonged there socially or in terms of viewpoints.

I left to complete the journey to financial independence without the burden of California state income tax. I got no benefit from being around a bunch of one dimensional software engineers with zero creativity in their lives outside of tech, no sense of independence or adventure.
I can imagine to look less DIY or "from the 90s". Vanitas.

Sacramento has done an astounding job at selling its image to the population.

Though I think part of it does come from the psychology of good weather all year. If it's always sunny and there's palm trees everywhere, rather than cold and rainy all the time, aren't you gonna be less interested in politics and more so in just chilling out? If California's climate was harsher, I believe the hogs would have been slaughtered years ago.
Very impressive and intuitive. Been playing with it on my iPhone, and it’s been working far beyond my expectations. Looking fwd to trying this on my laptop. Nice work!
>It is security theater of the worst degree by incompetents and MBAs and I am getting sick of it.

It's security theater giving people exactly what they want. People want to feel secure, but they don't want any amount of actual difficulty in getting what they want from Company A.

Like it or lump it, but regular people really don't want actual security. They want the ease and convenience of no passwords at all, and want someone to blame in case something goes wrong.

How is this use-case different from someone in the struggling country buying USD, which is way less volatile? Is it because converting local currency to crypto is easier than converting local to USD?

You are not wrong. I was in a game modding & hacking forum and there was a discussion about particular game. There was heated debate between the original poster and the moderator in a thread and then this moderator decided to target and respond hateful political comment against the original poster that are not relevant to the gaming mod topic. It is like the mod had their ego bruised and felt like need to take it out on the original poster. I reported that mod to the admin/owner of the forum and the response I got from them is that everything is fine and it is not against their TOS (while it is...). Which is sad because this mod is well known in this community, it is out of character for this mod to react that way. After that response from admin, I lost all respect for that admin and the mod.
I donno. Local governments get hooked on those revenues but are extremely susceptible to revenue shocks, as they have a much smaller tax base. So things like a single business closing can cause budget shortfalls. And I've seen a common go-to for increasing revenue is by policing for profit.

I've also lived in towns with corrupt local governments, and you can't do shit about it. Good luck getting people to come out to vote. And when the good ol' boys club takes the mayor and sheriff offices, and fills the roles with their friends/family, it can be hard to oust them. Prove that the tickets you're getting are due to running against they mayor on a platform of change, and not because you were speeding for the 7th time this week.

It got so bad in the town I grew up in that people were pushing to dissolve the police and local government. Even my hardcore right-wing, retired police officer uncle was in favor of dissolving the police department.
