Why does it have to be a somebody?

It's almost every politician since the invention of privacy. It's not a cabal, they just have common goals.

Edit: can't reply. The endgame is control over the population - taxing them, imprisoning them, etc. Why? I don't know, some people just like to be in (absolute) power.
It's much worse than that. 0.5% daily is 517% annually.
Mine was when the iPhone SDK was released. I’d made a small Mac thing and gone to a few WWDCs, and really wanted to be an app developer. I brainstormed some dumb ideas, but one day I was meeting up with some friends in the city and while waiting for them to show up, I thought “there should be an app for this”.

It felt like I got a lot of blank stares when explaining the idea to people, but I went ahead and built a prototype app where you could invite friends to share their location for a limited time, and it would show you where everyone is in realtime on a map. I did a simple backend server to coordinate sending the updates between devices. There was a chat built in so you could tell people your train was running late. I sent it to a few people, we tried it out, I got busy doing other things, and never finished it.

My memory may have distorted the timeline, but it felt like a long time before I saw apps like Glympse, Apple’s Find My Friends, or Google location sharing show up. I could have easily gotten that over the line while it was still my idea. Entirely my fault, though.
This is an old article (22/2). Ever since, he has several times refused to back the EU on sanctions and instead adopted a very selfish/nationalist stance. He went as far as to declare Zelensky an opponent after winning the election[0].

Hungary is on the wrong side of the conflict at this point in history.

I think the problem is, there isn't any magic behind NFTs—but a lot of people believe there is.
Imposed by governments that miraculously took all the same measures at the same time (except Sweden, somehow).
I’m curious too!
There are enough correlations to show Tether magic money being used to prop up btc, eth on these shady exchanges.

It is obvious they are using fake magic money to prop/inject into the eco-system.

When btc, eth props up, everything else tends to as well.

IDK how it's not obvious to you unless you have some financial incentive to ignore the obvious.
High school teens don’t have a student loan debt crisis. The economy has been going gangbusters from 2008 to 2022. “Authoritarianism” predominately affecting teens, the most politically disconnected group aside from young children? None of your reasons make more sense than the social media theory (btw, the experience of “authoritarianism” is likely from social media/internet news as other than for some marginalized groups like undocumented immigrants, nothing bad has been happening directly to the majority of teens or their friend groups.)
Because we've had actual conspiracies in the US. Drugging people with LSD and selling weapons to terrorists to fund narco states is more dangerous than posting about conspiracy theories on 4chan.
That's precisely the thing i am going to be looking for soon. Yours looks pretty good, but i find the product page to be a bit lacking in detail and polish ( including typos like "come with wooden stand" instead of "comes"), which can be off-putting.
I'm an engineer in the EU and USD 375 is about half a week of work for me. So no, I don't have a lawyer.
By the person acting the release of a new version on the public repository (like any maintainer would do).
The thing is, with current 'privacy-protecting scanner' designs, the scanner is running on every end users device, and it would be fairly simple for an expert to dump out the list of things being looked for.

That in turn makes such a system far less useful to intelligence services and authoritarian regimes. You don't want to tell your target that you're looking for them and which keywords not to use!

I wonder if this is part one, and then a later revision will require centralised scanning rather than on-device scanning.

Breaking news: house built on sand gets washed away. No one is surprised.
This is the way. Unfortunately languages like Python will for implementation complexity/backward compatibility reasons never support something like this natively (unless with workarounds/hacks like compiling it to WebAssembly). It's time to phase out languages that don't. The only Python variants that made a foray into this are PyPy[0] and Monte[1]. It's important to make this sandboxing have only a small overhead, and make it work recursively, so external libraries can import partially untrusted external libraries themselves, thus hollowing out the attack surface at every node of the dependency tree.

That's something that WebAssembly can't do well either, even if its boundary is secure. Creating a new sandbox means having to start a new instance "from the outside", the virtual machine doesn't have this capability built in.

This is the access security problem, there is another that almost all programming languages and virtual machines haven't even tried to solve, especially in a platform independent way: resource security. If an untrusted program cannot access anything but its own memory, but can still go in an infinite loop or allocate all memory and bring the whole system to a halt, the security architecture isn't as complete as it could (should) be.

Especially combined with process serialization[2], a system that implemented both of these security aspects correctly would make very interesting programs possible.

> the building will fit along each coordinate inside the diagonals, but the edges of the hypercube would still cut through the building, right?

No, you can fit the whole thing inside the 1mm hypercube, as long as you have enough dimensions. Once you have fit the height of the building along one diagonal, you can add new dimensions and rotate the building along that diagonal so that the width and the height will fit along the diagonals of the other dimensions.
What's old is new again? Before WordPress started to eat everything, Blogger, Movable Type, and other popular publishing platforms were all static site generators. Dynamic platforms were too complicated and resource intensive for the masses.
The aim seems similar to Quarto (https://quarto.org/) - an "open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc" which "create[s] dynamic content with Python, R, Julia, and Observable". @wcrichton how does Nota relate to Quarto and similar prior efforts?

There are actually no such functioning "social credit" systems in China. It is mostly a boogeyman narrative.

You can buy small quantities of coins off dealers for a very modest spread plus the cost of insured postage. I have a few sovereigns at the back of a drawer from the 2008 crisis which have basically held their value. There's no magic to it, it's just a nice shiny object.

Converting back to cash at a reasonable rate is probably a lot harder.

It has no relevance to tether. It's strategically trivial to peg 'paper USD' to USD by having full USD reserves and allowing redemption. Pegs between different national currencies has no such solution
>If you just search the web for "Nvidia issues Linux" you'll see quite a few complaints.

I'd wager that is the BULK of the linux-power-user complaints. I'm definitely never buying NVIDIA again for my next PC. The last time I decided to go for Nvidia was because of their CUDA/ML eco-system.

Next time I'll just use the cloud for any ML/GPU-computing.
The amount of time wasted by nvidia-driver nonsense is actually absurd !
Not really as there basically is only one big defense treaty in the form of NATO. For it to be similar there would have to be 2 or 3 defense treaties of roughly the same size/strength which Russia does not come anywhere close to.
> "do you think any of said war crimes would actually be committed against Russia directly?"

> And the answer is YES, because NATO has already set a heinous precedent for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, with seeming impunity, for decades and shows no signs of stopping its criminal war regime.

> So yes, I did answer the question. You maybe don't like the answer, though.

You seriously need to work on how you argue, because in every discussion I see here you answer in generalities, instead of specific answers. Yes now you have answered the question, but you definitely did not before.

Regarding your argument, by the same argument I could say that Russia will commit war crimes against NATO, because Russia has already set a heinous precedent for committing ware crimes for decades with no signs of stopping. That's not how this works.

> NATO brought weapons of mass destruction to Russias borders.

Which weapons of mass destruction?

Also you are saying NATO brought weapons of mass destruction to Russias borders. Let's not forget that Russia invaded and annexed Ukrainian territories in direct violation of the Budapest agreement, and that was all done for oil and gas nothing else. That triggered a massive change of public opinion about joining NATO in Ukraine, before there was only 20% support after it was well over 50%.

Also Russia already has weapons of mass destruction on NATO borders, there are already nuclear weapons in Kalingrad.
The speculators betting against it added to the bank's difficulties, in fairness: they didn't stand outside the process, they were part of it.
Yes. You let the market know that you won't be intervening. Preferably the central bank should be constitutionally barred from doing so.

At that point there is no patsy in the market, and liquidity constraints will deal with the situation. For every seller there has to be a buyer

Couple it with the occasional 100% margin calls if the price moves too much and the risk of getting caught naked becomes very high indeed.
There's really no reason why we couldn't be direct while staying civil.
yes, Casey has shown that, and I am thankful for it, and for him, because I didn't know it was as easy as it is. It turns out that a lot of people didn't know it could be so easy.

The approach Casey took is very obvious to game developers, and very foreign to other people, I would think. We're all still so poisoned by OOP and the normalization of unnecessary complexity that straight-forward solutions often don't occur to us.

Casey's misstep here is the same misstep that many of us make, and have made; the assumption that everyone should know something or understand it just as well. It is often hard for an individual to believe that something which they find obvious could be so out of reach of another person.

One might respond to that with "A Microsoft employee should know this kind of thing," and to that I would ask where they're supposed to get this "Microsoft people should know" knowledge. Where's this "Microsoft should know" academy? What is the list of things that an employee of a company like Microsoft should always know in order to be forgiven by the argumentative HN patron? There isn't a place for them to go, of course, they can only rely on their experience and their colleagues to help them do their work, the same as everyone else, and every person, team, and company has blind spots. Every last one.

USDC volume is up 50% right now and even hit a 6-month high in value. Either Coinbase is doing extremely large $$$ of preemptive defense or people are flocking to a stablecoin with a more trustworthy backer whose collateralization claims are less questionable.

There's a second order effect I observed which I feel isn't discussed enough: when it's assumed that you can only walk/cycle or perhaps take the bus in an area, suddenly there's an additional premium imposed on space.

The net result is accelerated gentrification.

Anecdata: just about anyone I know from my generation was priced out of those walkable districts with access to public transportation they grew up in - simply because investors are aware of what is in demand, so they put all their money there and not into places you can only reliably access via car.

What follows is people buying not homes, but apartments built in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and driving to/from there, because that's what they can afford.

A net negative, but here we are.

I'm all for livable cities, but what good is it if the only ones who can afford it are the 1%?
We really need a word for people who are so obsessed with being anti-woke that they become a parody.
At first when I started reading this it seemed rather compelling but the further I went along the more I could see they were making use of innuendo and psychological manipulation techniques.

Sorry but you sound like you were beamed down from the mothership yesterday and you got this info from an introductory pamphlet on planet earth :)

The issue isn't that people don't have agency, it's that when they use their agency to enact any actual meaningful changes they get beaten down mercilessly by people which much more wealth and power.

And that's exactly what was happening to workers in Henry Fords era, and it's what lead to an explosion of labour activism which was responded to with murderous brutality that is too well documented to recount in full detail here.

And the question here isn't whether people use their agency or not, or whose side you take or whatever, it's just whether educated onlookers can even talk honestly about it without going off in to flights of abstraction and fantasy.

Edit: added a smiley to clarify I am not trying to be mean, just communicate some level of incredulity about popular conceptions of labour history of the late 19th / early 20th century...
The problem with cops using AI is they seem to put far too much weight on what it discovers. I remember reading a story about how Clearview AI nabbed some random person and claimed that they were some other person. The story wen't on that the cops picked this guy up and bent over backwards to try to make sense of what their AI was telling them, because they thought the AI was infallible. Guy was telling the cops that he had nothing to do with what they were accusing him of and IIRC the cops kept coming back with "but why would the AI single you out"

And that's the root of the problem. We in tech know AI can do all these great things but that it also has a high error rate and to take results with a grain of salt. Folks outside of tech think that it's infallible and perfect 100% of the time.

I could see that distracting from the main point. Then it becomes "Why were you solving that problem?" "Why did you insult their app, it's really great!" "The author's right, no one should use app X."

It's not the point of the story.
Vetos are somewhat overrated. Agents may have the right to veto, but might not have the power to deal with the consequences.

Russia has a UN veto and uses it, because they can weather the consequences.

Could Hungary piss off all of its allies, trade partners, basically everyone but Russia? Doubtful. Hungary is playing a skillful, if somewhat devious, game of balancing between Russia and the West. But an outright FU to a (clearly) US-sponsored NATO expansion? I can't see them weathering this.

Signalling a veto is often rather a negotiation step.
> I get sent pictures and clips of his progress

Those pictures will be seen by you and grandma, but also maybe by employees of whoever you use to backup the pictures, whatever security services have a need to view the images, whichever police forensics department may need to look through your or grandmas phone if it were to be confiscated, etc.

Those employees need a good work environment, and can't be expected to look at your naked three year old.

It probably helps that we were complaining about and even making fun of[0] our government for using child pornography as an excuse for pushing through draconian populist laws a decade ago already. We may just happen to have a little head-start here basically.

The Finnish defense budget for 2022 was €5.1bn, but I am sure they bumped it up after the Russian invasion. The overall cost of the F-35 acquisition is €8.378bn (jet fighter cost being €4.703bn of that). Naturally, such acqusitions are done gradually (e.g. over a few years).

That's exactly the type of savior complex mixed with breathtaking miscategorization you get from solarpunk advocates. They want a cool name and an aesthetic to go along with a socio-political movement so they pretend other artistic movements and styles are also some type of socio-political movement. Imagine seriously believing that steampunk enthusiasts see steampunk as a way to remake the world.

Imagine being so fucking smug you want to radically alter the reconstruction of a priceless historical building to make a political statement.

Nukes from America Treaty Obligation

Article 5 is the shield that drastically decreases the amount of nuclear weapons European nations need to deploy, because USSR / Russian inventories are balanced out by American inventories, if it comes to all-out war.

Consequently, the world as a whole is a lot safer because {flight time Russia-US} >> {flight time Europe-Russia}, which allows for additional fail-safe guarantees on weapons that there wouldn't otherwise be a time budget for.

I am neither American nor do I support the war in Yemen. I actually believe the propping up of the regime in Saudi Arabia by western governments is outrageous and one of the primary reasons for instability in the region. That does not mean I defend Russia's invasion in Ukraine, nor their behavior in e.g. Syria.
FYI there is a SelectableText widget included in Flutter[1] but the developer has to explicitly make text selectable just like iOS and just like Android apps. Desktop is a different story... many text selection paradigms that I'm familiar with on desktop (like double-click and hold and drag to select whole words) simply don't work right. It's not a great experience, but neither is the vast majority of non-Flutter mobile apps when it comes to selecting text too.

wrt accessibility, Flutter does actually generate elements with aria attributes for screenreaders to consume[2]. You're right that the canvas is inaccessible, which is why the aria labels have to be generated adjacent to that.

We're using Flutter for mobile development at my workplace.
