It doesn't prevent it, no. But the protocol for email as a whole should incorporate it in a simple manner.

In terms of "End to End" I would consider the user the endpoint, not the device. There's many techniques that can make that happen. But this is more on the receiver side of course.

PGP is obviously not simple. S/MIME is also not simple. This is why nobody bothers using either (though S/MIME is used internally within a lot of corporations).
I think a genius is a lucky person whose hard work is not very blatant and has got a good hype-man.

If you're unlucky you work hard on a dead end, if people can see you work hard all the time your results are not effortless enough to be the work of a genius, and if you don't have a hype-man you'll at most be seen as very good.

Completing a prison term (or being found "not guilty", for that matter) does not spare you from civil litigation; why would it spare you from ostracism?
The OP claimed only 2-3 people in each company are "responsible" for the success of said company. You do not need to be the only person in the world who can do a job to have some, or even major, responsibility for the success of an organization.
>I think two people searching for the same terms should see the same results

I agree, but that's not the point being stated.

The point is that the entire concept of Google is about ranking (a form of discrimination) the relevancy of websites to the search query. Common carrier status means that a search for "Microsoft official website" would not be able to prioritize Microsoft's official website, because that would be discriminating against all other websites that claim to be Microsoft's official website (and, by extension, discrimination against the people hosting those websites, who would then be able to sue Google for that discrimination).

Common carrier status also throws a giant wrench into the already problematic issue of content moderation.

The 11th Circuit's ruling explains the concept much more eloquently and with much greater detail than I can hope to (the full ruling is available via the 2nd link in my post).
The article mentions the software running in each availability zone as a source of correlation in the system. That correlation can be bad, because it makes the system less resilient (that's the point of the article).

I wonder if Amazon would ever consider having completely independent implementations of the same software (made and maintained by different teams) running in each availability zone. This would reduce the correlation between AZs. Of course, this would be much more expensive, but perhaps worth it if availability was critical.

In fact, I vaguely recall that this was a common practice in the development of some kind of critical system (avionics?).
Not sure, I didn't try, but using one was a good excuse to learn how. The blog post suggests that despite there being 8 they're not all suitable for use (maybe due to high on boot or something)

Ask HN: Failed startup cofounder seeking emergency assistance
Hi HN:

Failed USA-based startup founder here. I was cofounder for a SaaS startup and have fallen on hard times. I stopped programming a few years ago and have been cycling between inadequately housed and homeless since before the pandemic. Homeless at this time without transportation. I travel on foot with a backpack and sleep outdoors for now.

I've exhausted gov't help, as well as help from friends and family already. I am in a rural area with limited work options. My best bet short term, barring a coding gig here, is odesk (Upwork). But, I need some basics such as a bicycle, a laptop, and a coworking membership to do any tech work. There are no programming jobs locally for which I would qualify at this time.

I've worked small local jobs here and there, but its sporadic and difficult to maintain without even a bicycle. Today, I asked a friend locally for their extra bike, from which I will seek any kind of work for food at a minimum. If that comes through, I'll be in a far better spot to do any kind of job, whether manual labor or technical.

My SNAP food allowance has run out for the month. A few nice people here on hn helped me out with food and toiletries this week, and I just need a few more bucks to get through this month.

A gentleman here on hn sent me $15 yesterday to PayPal, intended for food, which I used at CVS for first aid supplies, as my feet are worn out and began bleeding today from my heels, due to walking too many miles without proper footware.

Even basics like laundry, new socks and sneakers are out of reach, as food/toiletries/first aid have taken precedence.

I have my Apple phone and ACP cell service to stay on grid and manage virtual cash (apple cash, paypal/venmo/cashapp).

May I ask if anyone can help out with some emergency food money so I may eat before early next month? Beyond that, I am quite open to pointers to a low pay remote coding gig. I'd need the aforementioned basics. However, I can work at a senior level SWE on small to medium full stack db-backed web projects.

If you can help, can you e'mail me at hackernewscontactmail at gmail? If you're able to help with food at this time, I will respond quickly with info on my apple cash, or paypal/venmo/cashapp. Thank you for helping.
Russia's forcibly depopulating hundreds of thousands from east Ukraine to Russia
I 100% agree with you from a purely financial perspective.

But after having failed at a startup, I realized that there is an inner sense of validation that can come from being able to successfully create a small business.

And I won't ever be able to remove that goal from my bucket list no matter how financially successful I am.
> In spite of all the valid criticism, we still got lucky that we ended up having this nonproprietary, decentralized, universally supported medium called email. A large number of businesses still (and will continue) to run on email, as does a certain subset of open source and other projects (using mailing lists).

What I meant was that Email as a whole should be overhauled, though SMTP is by far the weakest link there. All the kludges and workarounds like DMARC, SPF etc don't fix the issues, and this is why so many companies are inventing the wheel. For example, Microsoft won't let your server deliver mail to them if you don't have enough 'reputation', meaning you must send a certain number of emails that are not spam. Otherwise you will find yourself in the doghouse (I've commented on this more detailed before). Even if you never sent spam in your entire life and your server isn't on any blocklist!

SMTP is decentralised yes and that is a great thing. But such measures like MS are doing totally undermine this decentralisation. And it will continue to do so, it's already super hard to run your own small-time server for the issues mentioned below. This decentralisation is already disappearing. It's time for a new protocol that is ready for the future.

> It depends, B2B absolutely still do.

They do for now because people involved in sales are usually hungry for business and don't care about the risks. They want to have low barriers for the customers, which is understandable. However there are significant risks depending on how the customer does their mail. We're on O365 and comms with other companies that are also on that are obviously pretty secure because they never go unencrypted through the public internet. Again a point that Microsoft (and Google) make into a selling point for their services, further undermining decentralisation.

We in the cybersecurity realm are imposing rules, e.g. any confidential info must be shared through secure filesharing. But it's hard to avoid this happening.

When highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks happen, the death rate is extremely high. What's not quoted is the infection rate. Usually HPAI is extremely deadly.

So for wild geese that is a very high death count. Wild birds do not usually survive HPIA, so immunity is not achieved.
I like that page!

Reminds of the old Internet :-)
This is a bit of a myth: microcode is used a lot in x86, but a lot of it is for emulating obselete instructions. The vast majority of instructions on x86 are still directly implemented in the hardware (including such decidedly non-RISC instructions as 'take this register, multiply it by 4, add it to this other register, then load that address from memory and do a floating-point multiplication of it with this 3rd register and store the result there', all without any microcode). If anything the RISC side of the coin (ARM) has become much more CISC like over time.
This article hits hard in a lot of ways.

Have any of you who work as a freelance programmer managed to get off the hours-based billing treadmill, and onto a value-based system? How do you determine value? When your clients need constant maintenance or small incremental work, do you end up spending a lot of time with estimates?

I'm really struggling with this in my own work.

> Children

Some people have no children. People who do have children have them at various ages, sometimes very young. Some people ignore their children. Children tend to leave home within 20 years or so, leaving an "empty nest".

> paying the mortgage

How is that different from paying rent? And how exactly does it "distract" you? My mortgage payment was automatically deducted from my bank account, I didn't even have to think about it. Not to mention, eventually you pay off your mortgage and don't have to pay anymore.

> taking care of elderly family

This can also happen at almost any age. Or never.

What about the distraction of raging young hormones. The distraction of personal uncertainty about life and the future. The distraction of financial insecurity.
Is there any real mainstream news in Russia? I'm lead to believe that all of the news there is government controlled propaganda.
I do not know what “properly” price shop means, but I do not think law firms get blank checks. Buyers themselves are frequently lawyers so they are not completely out of the loop on what is and is not reasonable.
The information that is divulged on is the "knowledge" about the circumvention of technical measures.

"Extortion is a form of theft that occurs when an offender obtains money, property, or services from another person through coercion. A form of extortion could include the threat of physical injury, destruction of property, or improper government action."

"Blackmail, in contrast to extortion, is when the offender threatens to reveal information about a victim or his family members that is potentially embarrassing, socially damaging, or incriminating unless a demand for money, property, or services is met."
Maybe these blog posts are the real support queue. Queue is prioritized by creativity, publicity, and connections to employees.

I respect his professional opinion (he was a former military contractor, correct?) I think his arguments would probably someone with more training and experience than myself to properly assess.

But the following facts I think make a good case to believe his is mistaken about this scenario:

- statistics on the utility of CCW in mass shooter scenarios

- the preference of mass shooters to target gun-free zones.

- the precedent of Utah allowing teachers with CCW for roughly 10 years without real incident.

It's certainly not the only step that should be taken to curb mass shootings in schools, but I think there's good evidence it will help.
Underneath all this is a recent phenomenon to recast Central/South American civilizations as 'ancient' and 'comparable' to other non-American civilizations. A lot of this is normal, on the level kind of research, but there's a significant amount of breathless hyperbole about it too. You can usually identify the latter by the language it uses.

This article does a lot of that ("Mind blowing!" "Challenges archeaological dogma!" "Mysterious"!), and it repeats something that's very suspect, even amongst conservative historians--it dates civilization in the area to "10,000 years old". Also, much of what's in these kinds of articles is not new, but simply repackaged content.
They didn't say they wanted to learn new things, they wanted to learn a new language. I can want to learn how to drive a race car in addition to my Toyota Corrola without wanting to lear how to operate a crane (though that would be pretty interesting honestly).

Eh I'd bet you could train just about any worker to do the role of CEO because it's barely work at all. Source shovelling sand all day is 1000x more difficult than sitting in an air conditioned space hypothesizing about bs and making a bunch of decisions. Have done both. Running a company is in no way as difficult as being on the tools. Come do a days labour for me concreting and tell me your CEO works harder. Come do 13 hour shifts of a drill rig lifting 16 ton of steel by hand and tell me your job as a CEO is harder. Lol you'll die from exhaustion in one job and maybe get slightly disgruntled in the other.
What are the odds that some idiot will name his mutex ether-rot-mutex (2017)
The study is a mess. The article is more of a mess. Touting the benefits of glucosamine which has been pretty much debunked as a beneficial joint supplement. They used epidemiological data from as far back as 1999. They pretend they've been able to adjust for all other confounding factors. It reduced ALL other causes of mortality?

This is all nonsense. How did the guy decided to study this (oh he's in Family Medicine BTW not research or orthopedics)? He asked his biking buddies who uses Glucosamine (he does also) and they all said yes so he wondered if there was any reason?

Classifying this as science is a sham
Not OP, but Ulanbataar is a traffic jam. I guess walking is possible, but not great with all the rustbuckets spewing fumes...

Was there in 2019, I'm not sure if I used Google Maps for buses or figured out the paper timetables, in any case there was a lot of waiting for and on the bus (due to the traffic).

I think a whole day is enough for UB, maybe 2 days, and that would include a trip to a cashmere factory store (got a cashmere sweater for 60 Euro) since there's nothing else to do. Apparently the way to get around town is to stick your hand out, and everyone's a taxi you can haggle with. I didn't know any Mongolian so I didn't dare do this.

I did a 5-day van tour of the steppe (mostly south of UB) with 4 European 20-somethings (plus a driver and guide), it didn't disappoint, each night we went to a different yurt camp set up for tourists, where there were also vans full of Koreans with wheeled suitcases..
Just this weekend I made a project to hookup my standing desk and treadmill to Home Assistant, and used ESPHome as the coordinator. Took me a bit to understand how to add custom components, but once I did, got a nice collection of buttons added to my dashboard with no UI work.

Really the only downside, and it's likely something I could handle with more digging, is the task switching granularity of the main loop causes the desk to overshoot and then have to correct when going for a height. My desk control loop reads from the UART interface of the desk display, and activates the up and down buttons. If there's too much time in between loops, it'll have traveled too far. Worst case, I could just get a cheap dedicated controller like an attiny85 to handle controlling it with better real-time constraints.

That doesn't change the point.

The majority of poor minorities living in high crime areas don't and never supported defunding the police.

They want police to be less racist.

When you have bullets flying through the window of your childs room from drive by shootings, and drug dealers peddling outside your house, defunding the police is an alien concept.

It sounds a lot nicer from a safe suburban neighborhood.
SPAs: Are They the Right Choice?
You look at the firms track records, testimonials, results; etc., the same way you evaluate most purchases. If two firms have similar results and one is cheaper, then you choose the cheaper option.
If you're referring to uops, that's closer to VLIW than RISC.

AFAIK the whole RISC vs CISC thing has always been more about the software-visible instruction set than the implementation.
I don't think we'll know exactly until after the war ends (and hopefully the russians are pushed back to the '91 borders). There is a huge disparity indeed, but not all of them are concentrated in the areas of conflict right now (I bet a large chunk of them are still in western Ukraine) and the russians were indeed able to target and destroy a couple of weapons transports, so who knows how many of them never even made it to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Looking at the news...

Unfortunately my experience with Indeed is that that a large portion of the postings (by which I mean not a majority, but still -- an annoyingly large portion) are apparently from outright scam operators.

By which I mean: Not just the usual, utterly incompetent wannabe recruiter types -- but blatantly fake operators which seem bent on either: (1) sucking up as many resumes as they can to sell to other recruiters; and/or (2) asking up front for personal identifiers (such as DOB and SSN) for, well, whatever nefarious purpose they may have in mind.

Is this deliberate negligence of scam operators -- and it seems very difficult to believe that senior management of Indeed is not aware of this problem, and of the approximate dimensions of if -- an expression of your "values"? Does it have "positive social impact"?

Please do clarify.

RISC vs CISC made a big difference when we had 100k-200k transistors to play with. That was a long time ago.

Today's machines aren't CISC or RISC internally - they're ginormous out-of-order execution engines doing stuff that really can't be expressed in a linear machine language, and if there's an overhead for CISC, it's a tiny additional amount of real estate per core. Note that this is not a constant factor - as the rest of the CPU gets more complex, any CISC-related overhead becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of the whole. You can probably take the same set of execution units, forwarding paths, branch predictors, etc. and slap several different ISAs over it - I've seen CPU architects show experiments where (for x86 and ARM at least) two chips with the same number and type of these internal features will perform the same regardless of the instruction set.

There are a lot of factors involved other than the now-tiny technical advantage of RISC. There's a strong business incentive for the largest CPU design team in the world (i.e. Intel) to continue to produce x86 CPUs, rather than switching to another ISA. (for that matter, they tried once, with Itanic^H^H^HItanium, and it didn't work out so well)

Ecosystem effects mean that CPUs with non-dominant ISAs incur a bunch of various costs for their users, because everything from software through hardware just gets harder when you're not on the dominant commodity platform. (don't get me started on my experience with some POWER9 machines over the last few years...) A non-x86 CPU that's marginally faster/$ than an x86 isn't good enough - it needs to be substantially faster before it's worth the expense of switching, plus some more just to be sure that things won't swing the other way far enough to force you to switch back and pay that price all over again.

Most of the other observations in the post are spot-on, though...
The use of ifunc in libc, openssl, and zlib covers just about everything people want from it. You want that optimized memcpy, you only need it in one place.

Life on earth is caviat emptor, with no guarantees. Sometimes more things that matter get better than get worse or vice versa. Because the world is a web of feedback loops, it makes sense that lots of things are cyclical. The list of things that are going to get worse before they get better may get longer before it gets shorter. Don't complain; organize.
