I would certainly prefer that this be the case, but I also don't think it's particularly likely to pass as legislation - because there are plenty of devices that are sold at a loss, expecting to make it up on other later software sales.

I believe almost all modern game consoles live in this space, I would expect Amazon's Kindle devices are in this category, etc. And while I don't like this model and won't participate in such ecosystems, neither can I deny that such things are fairly common and popular. Forcing open firmware on those would likely generate a much larger, and, frankly, better funded response to being able to maintain a locked down firmware for the useful life of the system.

Picking specifically on the "no longer receiving firmware updates" category makes it much harder for those companies to argue that having to do this will hurt their profits or hinder their ability to recover losses on subsidized hardware - they literally don't care enough to bother updating them at this point, so it would be much harder for them to make these claims. You abandon a device once you're done earning your money back on it. I doubt Sony, for instance, still expects much return on deployed Playstation 3s. And it's exceedingly hard for Apple to argue that they're making any money on an iPhone 3GS or something, because it doesn't even run modern app store packages.

So my logic here is that "you must unlock abandoned devices for those who care" is likely to be winnable, whereas "All devices must be unlockable from day 1" isn't.
Sure... The most obvious case is running an internet service, but if you're asking if I've ever done something where there's either a strong CPU-bound or latency constraints, the answer is "yes."

For now anyway. I would be surprised if cars do not end up with apps. The car will come with the base software installed and then you can later buy apps for your car from an app store run by the car maker.

I stopped buying from Amazon years ago and haven’t noticed a drop in my quality of life. You can get 2-day shipping on many eBay purchases (brand new buy-it-now same as Amazon). It’s also nice to be able to shop based on seller location if you want to shop locally (which I try to, even for online purchases). Never used Prime Video or Audible or Kindle so I lost nothing giving those up, YMMV. Have never been ripped off buying through eBay but maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Also, I am quite happy to get out of the house and pick something up from one of the many retail businesses near me. This may not be the case for everyone but I don’t mind doing my own delivery most of the time.
This is at least the second time this has happened. I even have a "wallet incident" folder in gmail for this.
> If you compare FCOJ to fresh-squeezed, the difference is not subtle. It’s incredibly obvious. It doesn’t even matter what type of orange you use for juicing—try them all.

Completely agree and it’s so much better at least to me.

I’d even go as far to say that many people who are used to drinking the concentrate or shelf stable stuff have no idea how much different fresh squeezed OJ tastes. To the point where it’s surprising and in some cases not to their taste because they are so used to the processed stuff.
> I don’t really think Russians were to take Kyiv at all.

This is a reasonable sounding theory and I've seen it elsewhere, particularly from French sources. I'm pretty sure it's wrong, though. This theory comes from looking at everything the Russians did at the start and trying to interpret it so that it all makes sense. The truth, I think, is simply that Russian planning was a disaster.
That the west allows unrestricted criticism of its own leaders shows strength - the governments aren’t afraid to be criticized.

That China and other authoritarian dictatorships are so obsessed with policing every last morsel of criticism shows weakness and intense paranoia. They are led by rulers deeply fearful about their own people and worried about their own legitimacy.

Mugabe's land reforms most definitely had a devestating impact on agricultural productivity. But the hyperinflation was almost entirely a monetary phenomenon. All the productivity in the world won't mean anything if the money printers are running at full steam.

Knowingly buying stolen goods is not much better than stealing.
There was a thundering herd e-mail at Amazon about 10 years ago that I’ve heard stories about. It went on for days. There’s a funny internal talk with lots of data about it, maybe it’s on YouTube by now…
Does that not also cause you to lose source code access? That's kind of a problem for people who need this for work.
He didn't steal, he exploited. Think about how 1 person at a company can be worth $100+ billion, and the other 100k employees are worth less than that combined. Can you imagine that there systemic exploitation there? Every day he lives and consciously decides to hoard that wealth. Just because it happened legally doesn't mean it's not evil/exploitation.

I wouldnt recommend the UK, I've had a bank account frozen for no apparent reason, even to this day I dont have anything official to say why it was frozen, but you get stuck in a legal loophole where you cant complete a complaint to the banking ombudsman until you have exhausted the complaints process of the bank. Problem is the bank wouldnt speak to me. First I knew was when my card wouldnt work trying to buy a laptop!

Accountants, if you can get one to take you on, they do what they want, I always wanted my accounts done within a few months of year end but they always dragged it out to the last minute.
Poor advice at best.

I've encountered pages like that and wondered if the ux devs did it for that express purpose... last time I saw it, I was looking for some legal info (copyright/privacy or something); a dark pattern indeed.
The durability of postal addresses are hard to overstate imo. You can misspell so much, there’s a lot of info to intent.

Of course there’s not much when the street number is off… but even then you have the name.

I believe in the case of the USPS there’s also a lot of stuff not going into sorting machines either. It’s not all automated

I think you could do PO numbers for lots of stuff of course, and lots of checksumming could be put into place. But I think that for a lot of existing flows the zip code is super important and relied upon, and obfuscating that level of routing would not be worth it for the USPS
It's gotten pretty bad. I've reverted to buying only products where I know exactly what I'm getting (hard to make a counterfeit Ring alarm system). Otherwise, I'll get it somewhere else. Just too many shitty counterfeit products.

Anything sent to "Current Resident" can't be blocked by a Form 1500. I've tried. They say that since it doesn't have my name on it, it's not actually meant for me specifically so any prohibitory order I try to file will be rejected.
Yes, that is a good point which applies to a lot of high-tax countries. If you are a single company founder and run a company in jurisdiction B from country A then country A will usually have provisions that the company will be resident in A.

The question that I am wondering about is more like - you have four founders with 25% each who live in four different countries.

Where is the company resident in that situation?
Sure, that’ll be above $100 a month to forward directly to the landfill

I really wish I could just end USPS mail entirely. 99.9% of my mail is junk, the small percentage that isn't is something I'm already aware of via email. I've tried stopping junk via this site before, it didn't seem to change anything.
Anyone could have done this by mistake, all it'd take is being a bit tired and @ing the wrong group.

The question is - why doesn't the platform warn you that you're going to send notifications to a large number of people in the same way that many email clients do?
I've been avoiding buying anything from Amazon, not because of the reasons you listed but because of the horrific things I've heard about their WLB (not only white collar but the warehouse workers specifically). That and also I like supporting brick and mortar stores locally so they don't go out of business and so I can see things before buying them
They can produce good enough software. If great software is their differentiator then it will be great. If user hostility is their strategy you get that instead. Most are somewhere in between.
Thanks. I would say quorum issues with flakey nodes is up there too.
Mail is still an important service to be able to contact someone at a physical location
My freshman class (~4000) at university was sent an email by administrators via the freshman class mailing list. Someone replied, which lead to their email being sent to the entire mailing list... another email asking to be removed from the mailing list, etc, suddenly everyone was hit by a deluge of hundreds of emails asking to be removed.

Getting real flashbacks to that from the snarky / annoyed comments on this :)

I'm not so sure. Most of the web devs I have worked with over the years haven't been overly thoughtful regards UX. I'd even go as far to say that it's the least considered aspect of their process. "Not my job" mentality. Tho probably says more about the nature of my experience than anything else.
> Would you accept a job that paid in Bitcoin without understanding the basics of cryptocurrency?

the funny thing is that the vast majority of people don't understand how money comes into being, how banks work, etc. And yet, they still just accept cash and use it.

So may be it isn't irrational to have accepted bitcoins in a job as payment, without understanding it. The reason most people don't accept bitcoin (or crypto in general) is that they feel the value is too volatile and might change too much for them to make good financial plans with it.
I stopped using Amazon for most purchases after they sent me a "new" item that was very obviously used and came in a used sandwich bag that still had crumbs in it.
It's hilarious to me that the Design/UX team is always the one making mistakes like this where I've worked.

We're just sitting there saying, even from a non-code point of view, this shit makes zero sense.

Ignored as usual.
My favorite when making long term decisions is "Do we need to make the decision between these choices now, or can we proceed keeping all the choices open and make the decision later?"

Sometimes there's a belabored debate between two choices and answering this question can reveal that the choices don't have to branch right now, that they have (or could have) a shared 'path prefix', enabling us to make the choice later when we have more information.

This is an article pumping information control legislation from an organization who receives at least 47% of their funding from the department of defense, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, Thales Group, and Raytheon Technologies. This article itself seems like an "information operation", in the article's parlance, to help generate consent for legislation that controls information.

There is practically no empirical evidence in this article, just reliance on vague "indicators" and the time of tweets. Forgive me for taking this with a massive grain of salt.
If I was a bee I'd get out of California - this is discrimination!

Really tho this is just a bad headline (well it worked I read it so maybe not that bad). It's saying that a law made about fish is actually about invertebrates and that includes bees. They are not explicitly classifying bees as fish.
Maybe they were an intern
I second that.

Don't expect to get $1M if you own 0.1% of equity and the company is sold for $1B.

Highly likely you'll get nothing + laid off.

There's a broad trend in the rise of populist ethnocultural nationalism around the world, which usually brings with it a revival of all kinds of discriminatory outlooks because they're "traditional".
In C++ and other system languages you generally do.

In general they assume object at a time compiler (in the compiler sense, not types), and different objects may come from other compilers, instances, or even languages. So they use the standard ABI.

For an internal function they don’t have to use the standard ABI as by definition all users of that function are from within the current object. In such cases compilers can optimize the calling convention. I recall that msvc at least did this - but in those cases they’re free to change anything - they can in-line and not include the function at all in the resultant object. That’s why you often see “static inline”
Well the question is - will owning a share in a US entity make you a “US Person”?

My initial assumption that seems to be confirmed by HSBC and the ATO is “no”.
This assumes a perfect and energy free mechanism to collect the uranium.
To add to this, I absolutely believe it is the developer's role to interrogate a design (and its implementation) and feedback where appropriate.
Maybe there is a little of that. I think it mostly boils down to wanting to control the narrative.

_Everyone_ wants to control narrative. Especially people who think they are right. People in power, leaders, managers, unions, workers, parents, kids... all, absolutely every last one wants to control narrative.

It's relatively cheap and effective.
This would be great, but in no universe will the parties involved let that ever happen.
I've never used Docker in production, there was no need for containers. We did use heavier VM, but kept the environment and configuration such that it wouldn't need some kind of special handling. That is to say, once a team member cloned the project(s), set up the environment on their machine and successfully made the project run, there wouldn't be any constant tweaking with the environment afterwards.

Even you're running a lot of micro-services, your goal is NOT to make it so that they are impossible to run without hours and hours of environment setup. In fact, even though they are different micro-services, you'd probably want to make their environment similar or the same where it's possible.

The purpose of containers for me personally is to isolate potential crap coming my way from various package managers, such as nodejs and, if I were to use them in production, to minimize a potential security breach impact.

But the idea that it's the same environment on the developer's machine and that we should deploy containers and not code, is absurd to me.
That is good advice. What would you do in case there wasn’t a US founder?

I don't get this comment on github:

> Lock it. Lock it now. This is the friendliest message I'm going to send, while I look for ways to get OP banned from Github for gross social misconduct. I imagine that "owner of bots universe" might be enough to get that account tagged as a bot, who knows how many communities across however many repositories that person just bothered across all of Github.

I think people forget that it takes 2 types of people to move tech or for that matter a company to greatness. The product is not the star. There's the dreamer that comes up with a product and then there's the one that sells the dream to the rest of us. They are usually BSer's to the nth degree. They will lie to your face and you will love them for that. They are soooooo loved by some that some men and women dream of having their baby. Think IBM,Apple,Ford,TESLA and many more.

I’m not saying it’s outright fraud but companies change things and don’t tell the consumer. Im making up this example but let’s say you buy a coffee blend that’s composed of 60% bean A, which is more expensive, and 40% bean B. Then next week they flip the ratio, 60% B/40% A but still charge the same price. I can’t say it’s outright fraud but it kinda feels deceptive. Of course the company might say “consumers actually prefer the 2nd mix blah blah blah.”

I found a this article pretty good.

It’s not “C++’s” decision, it’s the compiler writer’s. Compilers are full of special handling of standard functions (memcpy is a common case) — those cases are called “compiler intrinsics”. They can also choose to call a function when you don’t expect it (e.g. when your hardware doesn’t have floating point support).

Does rust try to follow the platform C ABI? C++ implementations typically do when it is semantically meaningful.
It takes the complexity of international hiring (vs contracting) and raises it up a notch. Your home country like the US doesn't care (afaict) but the country they are in will have extra levels of compliance to go through, including labor protections & equity laws. Likewise, if you were planning to use an EOR to simplify foreign registrations, that just got weirder too.

And.... IANAL, we pay people to figure this stuff out or stay away from it.
AMD isn't vulnerable to Meltdown, but they do have their own Meltdown-style vulnerability (actually discovered by the same team) that remains unpatched at a CPU level.

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/sec22summer_lipp.pdf

The first two attack primitives have been patched, sorta, by making those measurements require root access (and making them inaccessible to VM guests). So they're not fixed, but in a properly configured system you won't be able to get at the primitives needed for the attack.

The third measurement, however, remains unpatched. It can be mitigated by turning on KPTI, but AMD doesn't change the default because of the performance consequences. KPTI works by constantly flushing the TLB cache every time you hop to kernel-level code (ie every time you make a syscall), thus creating a "cache barrier" between the two privilege levels - the attack then cannot leak something that is on the higher privilege level, because it's never in cache. This is the same way Intel mitigated meltdown, and it has a large performance impact - every time you talk to the network, or disk, or anything else, you have to flush your TLB cache.

AMD's official advice is "this doesn't work if you enforce address-space boundaries, follow all security best-practices", the subtext being you need to enable KPTI, but they won't recommend the option be set by default, and they've done their level best to shove it under the rug. Which is understandable, for some reason it's entered the public consciousness that "AMD doesn't have vulnerabilities" and it would be very bad for their image if that notion were dispelled.

https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/product-security/bulletin/a...

Briefly discussed and measured in Phoronix here: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=if-amd-k...

So yeah, AMD doesn't pay the same price for mitigating side-channel attacks... because they don't mitigate them.

As phoronix discusses, this gets back to the question of whether everyone needs to be mitigating these, we're not all cloud hyperscalers and there's never been a consumer attack using smeltdown-style attacks (it's far easier to just drop some malware and steal the password vault rather than to randomly scan through memory looking for it - you don't have to be the fastest animal in the herd... just not the slowest) but AMD has kinda chosen insecure-by-default here. Sure, that's faster, and you can turn off mitigations on Intel too. Should you?

The odds of an exploit are slight, but that didn't prevent people from taking heavy precautions when this category of exploits was (re-)discovered.
