"good luck" you mean?

I'm asking because I do exactly the same: no admin accounts for my family on their own Windows machine (mother in law and wife etc.).

They're also using only local account. Is Microsoft banning local accounts?
I think the PR damage is worse than the actual fine.
Teaching a human being something is not the same thing as helping a government do something.
It’s pretty much a given that there will be legal action in situations like this.

The board has fiduciary duty to test is seriously - usually by forming a committee, getting external advice, trying to get a better price and a solid case if they decline the offer.
They will likely be advised that this will end up in court one way or the other, and making sure the process is solid is their way of avoiding liability.
A number years ago I was unemployed for an extended period of time while working on open source projects, and I ran out of money, so I took out a loan to cover my expenses. I lived off this money for several months until I found a suitable job, and after some time I repaid this loan. This type of personal credit financing would cost a fortune in regular finance (try going to a bank and taking out a loan because you're broke and unemployed), but because I had digital assets to pawn I had access to a line of credit at a reasonable rate.

Without this option, I would have to either finance myself at a criminal rate, or accept a job I wasn't ready for. I feel I'm much better off personally from having this option available.

Outside the personal anecdote, I don't understand how it's difficult to see the utility in having digital goods of value. It allows all sorts of use cases, and using them as collateral for loans is just one. I have a harder time accepting that goods of value simply cannot be digital. If I look at the past 30 years of history, literally everything is turning digital; our consumption of entertainment, our work, our communication, social connections. What is the argument for having all things of value be either be a physical thing, or something controlled by some central authority? It seems like a "because that's how things have always been" sort of position.
The large Vermont line this site returns was a causeway across lake champlain which is an active enough bike path that there is a seasonal ferry service for the portion of the line that used to be a bridge. Whether there are tracks there or not these still leave visible scars across neighborhoods.
That's crazy that a manual error by someone, for whatever reason, end up being an article blaming Github for all sort of reasons. And never accepting that the thing that really failed here is the user who performed the action.
Flammable materials like paint, lubricants, furniture, sailors are quite common inside those metal rooms. I have read of cases where the fires were so hot as to cause combustion through the bulkheads by radiant heat, regardless of the compartments being shut to section off the fires. The weight of water from firefighting efforts can cause stability issues, especially if it starts to slosh and compound any damage-related listing.
Price might be depressed below "whatever the market will bear" by trying to be a less attractive target to potential competition, or to fend off anti-trust enforcement. But those are not driven by your own costs.
It doesn't help their struggle, but it does provide a wider frame for their laments.

My hypothetical friend was complaining that he will only inherit $5M from his parents, because they made some bad investments, when he should really be getting $15M.

Does no one have a right to tell that person to stop complaining and accept what they have? After all, how does it help my hypothetical friend that some people happen to be struggling more than he is?
This is pattern-matching taking the place of reasoning.

Even if you don't, I promise you Putin understands the difference between attacking a plant in Ukraine and attacking one in Germany.
Make it lucrative enough to be a victim and suddenly people will start wanting to be victimized (or at least pretend to be). Your comment speaks of religious fervor, and that righteous hatred will only make heretics and nonbelievers. Incentives cut all ways.
It sounded like that was about as high as the judge could go based on the laws.

However as the article mentioned this is not the only lawsuit for this kind of thing against Tesla. Maybe one verdict isn’t enough but a couple of them might be.
Schizophrenic here with a long time interest in computer security. I've had many discussions with my (previous) psychiatrist about exactly this, often arguing that it's not that far fetched that there are a swarm of entities (not just three-letter-agencies) that are interested in surveilling you. Add to that that your paranoia might be more or less well-founded, say that you're doing various criminal activities, the bounderies between justifiable paranoia and illness can become _very_ hard to make out.

I remember especially us discussing three-letter-agencies' mass-surveillance and I brought up NSA's ECHELON and other things that have been semi-known/-public for decades. About two years later the Snowden leaks came about and my psychiatrist started telling me about different cases he had had where people were misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and there later turned out to be real world explanations and not hallucinations and/or delusions.

I just wanted to share this anecdote. It's a shitty disease and you're absolutely on point about how it already is and will become even more so in the near future.
I wonder if this is really using ML at all to generate the output or if it’s just filling out a template based on a predefined set of numbers and/or text properties. Baseball games, earthquakes, and financial data can all be ingested with a schema.
It does strike me as unfair that GitHub themselves made the exact same mistake but were able to fix it with database backups.
> there is no meaningful sense in which OTP fails any of these IND-CPA/CCA1/CCA2 games

That’s factually wrong. A CCA oracle can easily determine the key.

> enc_k(m) is defined as taking the next length(m) unused bits from the pad

No, it is not. It’s defined as m \xor k.

You are describing another cipher, but not Vernan’s OTP.

> Yes, this means enc_k and dec_k carry some extra implicit state and are not simply functions in (k × m) → c

Then you aren’t describing an encryption and decryption function. Those depend only on k and m.

Someone must be able to have the algorithm and the key and decrypt any message. Your “hidden state” cannot(and indeed should not) be a part of the algorithm as it violates the principle of kerckhoff.

Stepping out of the theoretical for a moment, your proposed scheme also makes no sense in reality. How am I to know what part of the pad you’re using if I’m in a bunker picking up your encrypted signal?
On one hand, this sounds much like military folklore. "If you serve in role X, you have Y seconds/minutes to live once the fighting starts", or something like that.

Real wars are confusing and there is a lot of uncertainty about everything. Maybe China could sink every US Navy capital ship if they fire everything they have at once, but they are not sure about that. There have not been any major naval battles since WW2, and nobody really knows what would happen in one. If they fire everything and it doesn't work, their forces will be spent and vulnerable until they can resupply, and they may not want to risk that.

On the other hand, big high-value targets do sound like a bad idea, given how warfare has evolved in the past 30-40 years.
They do raise a good point about the UI though, explicitly showing "you're about to nuke 55k people, are you sure?" would make the user pause.
definitely an order of magnitude more concerning than elon's stake
It's a moot point. Attacking a german nuclear plant = nukes get shot back. And all out nuclear war.
>His supervisors and Tesla's broader management structure did little or nothing to respond. And supervisors even joined in on the abuse, one going so far as to threaten Diaz and draw a racist caricature near his workstation.

Do the supervisors not have any kind of personal liability in these cases?
Have you looked into any of the lending platforms? These are pretty well controlled for. Crypto loans are typically collateralized, so that below a certain loan-to-value ratio, the collateral belongs to the loan provider and the borrower can keep what was borrowed. The exact rules vary place to place. It's a calculated risk that is competitive with other investments.

People borrow to avoid triggering capital gains, or to gain leverage or to short.
Bitcoin donations surge to jailed Kremlin critic Navalny's cause (2021)
I have no dog in the fight here, and no affiliation to HTTPie, but this definitely seems like a Github issue to me. You can't just give users ways to easily and accidentally shoot themselves in the foot, and then blame the user for shooting themselves in the foot.
What's your next goal?

It seems like you've accomplished all your goals and are wondering what to do next. Maybe it's not tech-related. Maybe it's time for something completely different where you can experience the struggles again of being a beginner.

I'm currently reading "High Output Management" by Andrew Grove. This quote might apply:

> if we are to create and maintain a high degree of motivation, we must keep some needs unsatisfied at all times
“We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” — Lord Palmerston

This is apt description of nearly every nation, if not all of them.
Russia is so weakened I doubt NATO would want them to regain strength if they start dropping nukes.
I'm working on a book and I drafted a number of friends as "alpha readers" to whom I send every chapter when it's done. While I'm not on a strict deadline, the desire to demonstrate to them that I'm "still making progress" has been massively helpful.
Yeah. They didn't even sabotage reactors in a country they are currently in war with.
Who is "us"?

And what exactly are you afraid of, someone judging you by what you say?
I was out for a walk in Kirkland (across the lake from Seattle) the other week and found a little paved path that ran about 1/4 mile through a wooded area. I could tell by the amount of engineering they would have had to do to raise the grade that it wasn't just some 50s foot path. So when I got home, I looked at the King County Parcel Viewer (Google it if you live around here, it's worth it) with the 1936 aerial photo basemap...and couldn't find it. Some more digging revealed that it was a railroad built in the late 19th century to service the Great Western Iron and Steel Company, which was partially built but never finished. So even to all the people looking up and pointing at that airplane in 1936, the railroad was still something only their grandparents would have seen being built.
> The elimination of large chunks of the Ukrainian army in a single detonation could lead to the stated goal of the invasion, which was regime change in Kyiv.

A tactical nuke won't do that, though.
The reason "grooming" is suddenly prevalent in online discourse is that it's a moral panic fabricated by American Conservatives and the Republican Party in order to lay the groundwork for public support for anti-LGBT legislation related to the teaching of sexual orientation in schools, appealing to the general conspiracy theory mindset among the right that Democrats and LGBT people tend to be pedophiles.[0..2]

I'm not making any insinuations or casting any aspersions towards TeeMassive regarding an ulterior motive, just pointing out why this is suddenly a thing, and why the right-wing camp on HN is likely to be pushing this narrative here in the future.

Conservation of (angular) momentum would mean that you'll need at least some amount of propellant to compensate. The rotational inertia that's present during/after spinup can pose challenges for aiming as well.
I disagree. The "western world", that is Anglo-American centric world order, doesn't matter, but the Kremlin (not its ultra-nationalists calling for total war) knows it needs its ex-Soviet satelites plus China, India, etc.

This is about a new world order.
Archaeologists unearth ancient Sumerian riverboat in Iraq
Interesting. I hadn't read the Propublica article (frankly the parallax BS was annoying as hell) and I was going by the 4.1% figure for Michael Bloomberg in the linked article, which for all intents and purposes is close enough of a tax rate.

But yeah "We’re going to call this their true tax rate" is amateur hour. Who even allowed this crap to be published?
Hey Melvin, small world ;-)
> That suggests that the Ukrainians know about a weakness to the Russian missile defense systems... a blindspot where the RADAR wouldn't pickup enemy missiles perhaps? In any case, maybe its not so surprising, Ukrainians built the ship after all.

One of the weaknesses of missile defense systems, is they can only engage a small number of targets at a time.

If you knew the Moskva could engage (say) 12 incoming missiles at a time, you fire 24 all at the same time.

There was some articles on it a few years back, which of course I can't find now. It was regarding virtual wargames, where one commander handily won by, basically, firing everything all at once at the start of the game.
OK sure, they do. But on every warship I've ever been on (granted, none of them were Russian), every single person was a trained firefighter and very well aware that there was no fire brigade to call. In particular, setting fire to an ammunition store (as opposed to something more innocent but still vital like the galley) seems like an especially stupid thing to do. I'd also like to point out that every single missile system I've ever seen is not reloaded in any meaningful way at sea. Ships just pull into port an a crane lifts the replacement canisters into place.

Given the potential causes basically being [accident, self-inflicted sabotage, hit by missile], "hit by missile" seems by far the most likely given all the other information about this.

Assuming war will never happen is at best wishful thinking.

At the point where people are attacking something in Germany that line becomes meaningless.

Presumably from applications like Search, Chrome...

And presumably Google Docs and Google Sheets --- which are productivity apps.
Basically any of their "free" services.

What do you think the reactions from various regulators around the world would be if these statements turned out to be blatant lies like you suggest?

They're not blatant lies. I showed you above, Google is perfectly OK with you interpreting things in a way that differs from the legally plausible argument they will put forth in a legal setting.

Your TOS quotes are from their paid "premier" products. These are not their only productivity apps.
Why do they even delete those stars?
> >Both my grandparent families were dirt poor small farmers and the furniture they had

> I believe you, which makes me curious when they would have gotten it, and from where. 1940's? 1970's?

That would've been early 1900s, pre-WW1.
Really? You think that the PR cost is more than a super bowl commercial, 50 New York Times full page ads, and a few hundred million Facebook ad impressions combined?
To put things in perspective, this was the only capital ship being operated in the Black Sea (by any navy). Russia is the only Black sea power that fields cruisers (or even destroyers), and the only warships they now have officially on duty in the Black Sea are frigates or smaller. In terms of capital ships, this leaves them with one battlecruiser and two cruisers in operational condition, none of which have access to the Black Sea. (Their sole aircraft carrier is under repairs).

The only other loss of a warship of comparable size in combat since WW2 was the ARA General Belgrano, a slightly smaller cruiser sunk by a British sub in 1982. Losing a surface ship to enemy action is just not common these days. For a little more context, the only currently commissioned US naval vessel to have sunk an enemy ship is the USS Constitution, which sank the HMS Java (and more famously the HMS Guerriere) in 1812.
I would say that I generally have more trust in openness, transparency, and independence than in closeness, opacity, and subservience to a single party. Therefore, a priori, I would assign more trust to documents and research produced in the "West" or other places with these values than in anything coming out of mainland China. But please, go ahead and quote.
> According to the text, they might even need a constitutional amendment. I am no expert in German law, but this strikes me as an unlikely requirement that would nevertheless be doable.

A 2/3 majority is needed in both the Bundesrat (senate) and Bundestag (house). Not happening.

> This is what they say: The existing nuclear reactors should have passed a lengthy security inspection in 2019, which they didn’t pass since they would close at the end of 2022. They would need to pass such an inspection, and it takes a long time.

> ...

> Yes, of course Germany can afford to take some more time to pass these inspections!

The author makes it sound like those are cars which can be easily refitted, upgraded and certified. This would take enormous amounts of time and money for the three plants which are still online, and who knows how much for the ones which are offline. Let's say it would just take a year (very optimistic), it wouldn't have any effect on the conflict.

It's simply not worth it, when the money could be spent on other technologies. It would probably be easier and much cheaper to build new nuclear power plants (like ThorCon which was on HN a few days ago).
It makes it impossible for most organizations to use, not for most people to use.
It's a fascinating throwback to the dotcom boom where everything was "It's $X, but on the internet!"

Now it's "$X but with crypto!". Only with crypto there's a constantly evolving set of jargon that obfuscates the fact that yeah, traditional finance does it already To be fair, the dotcom era had it's fair share of obfuscating jargon too. Maybe crypto just seems worse because the dotcom boom was so far back in my memory.

I think there might be some actual valuable use cases for crypto.
I just wish all the people reinventing the wheel and thinking it's new would get out of the way. Then at least we can find out if crypto actually has something interesting it can do.
they can potentially be charged with a hate crime
I seem to recall DNA analysis on Hitler's skull (in Russia?) showed the skull belonged to a woman.

No, people use "prepaid debit card" and "prepaid credit card" interchangeably for some reason(even me lol). This would be known as a secured credit card, because you are putting up collateral for it. That scheme would not work here because opening and closing real credit cards with security deposits (as opposed to virtual card numbers or prepaid debit cards) has a effect on your credit score. You couldn't do this more than a few times before banks start denying you based on your credit history. You don't really want these cards, as they make no sense financially. Essentially, you are loaning the bank your own money, and then the bank will charge you interest at standard credit card rates to use the money you have lent them. They are only for building a credit history then you get rid of them. This is actually the one I used to have https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/secured/
I was a high school student during the collapse of the SU and even before that had a bit of a fascination on Russia. When I went to college (~1992), I took a Russian Politics class because I wanted to understand the collapse and what was going to happen. at the end of the course the teacher asked if we thought that Russia was on its way to becoming a western democracy and we all nodded. He said "you learned NOTHING! Nothing has changed in Russia except a slightly newer generation is in power. Their leadership and government are still corrupt and are handing over the russian state assets to oligarchs who share little with the people of russia. By the way, keep your eyes on these guys Khodorkovky (the oligarch) and Zhirinovsky (the ultra-nationalist) as they represent two directions that Russia could go."

I don't recall putin or medvedev ever being mentioned in that class, but it's clear that's the time that mattered to them, defining their worldview.
Sounds like the market thinks it's about 50/50 (given the current price is half way between the previous price and the offered price).

Though reading too much into wargames is also a mistake - they put significant limits on the sonar power as otherwise it would devastate the local ocean ecology, which naturally benefits those who want to remain hidden like submarines in exercises. They're meant to use estimates and an honor system of detection, but I've generally heard it's pretty laughable from people involved.

I don't doubt that such ecological worries will go out the window if there's actual threats involved.
Who got shot in the foot here? The article keeps talking about killing 55 thousand people. I’m trying to grok why “unstarring the repo” is such an earthshattering thing. It’s annoying if you wanted it starred / wanted notifications, because you have to notice and redo it… but there’s no irreparable harm, no data loss.

This reads like somebody was placing way too much personal mental value on “the repo for my project has a large number of stars”
If you believe in one conspiracy theory, it is more likely that you will believe others, yes. It's just a matter of how "out there" the conspiracy you believe in is. That forms the baseline for what you consider by default to be plausible.
> If Russia did launch a limited tactical strike on Ukraine, let's say super low-yield, honestly not much more than the MOABs we fired off in Iraq, is the USA really going to risk Berlin, or US cities getting vaporized to defend a non-NATO country?

The Baltics and Poland have already been pushing for NATO intervention because they want Russia checked because they don't want to be next; Article 5 is nice, but they’d rather stop Russia before it's on their land.

Nuking Ukraine, even a tiny little nuke, ratchets that up enormously and forces the US and Western European NATO powers to decide how to secure the eastern flank of the alliance.
The only one I can think of : https://twitter.com/sweatystartup/status/1405205780329078793...
i was born in a city near a german colony in the south of Brazil where a lot of germans from the 20's, 30's and later 40's arrived (which is unusual giving german colonies in Brazil are mostly from people of the late 1800's).

Anyway my father swore that he saw "an old man that looked a lot like Hitler without the mustache" in the 80's in that colony.

And its funny because its like those stories about people that have seen alien ships, you know is very unlikely but you never stop to wonder, "what if..". Well now there's no doubt that it was just a Hitler lookalike (poor man).

Also, one thing that always looked of in those theories is the fact that a man with the psychology of Hitler would be able to live a very simple life with such big regrets and
big dreams smashed, seeing how much he was hated (remember, he was a narcissist) til old age. It always seemed unlikely to me, "not like hitler", while the suicide seems much more believable.
