Washing your hands in the bathroom is an example of using biology at work. Only recently doctors would refuse to do it before surgery because nobody could explain what it did, so it wasn’t logically correct to do it.
I'm in enterprise, insurance industry. Our witticism for future functionality is "Any decade now!"

Enterprises are slow, they have high inertia for many reasons and tech can only affect that so much.
Governments and bank branches should offer physical identification as a (potentially payed) service globally, and provide a digital signature that a person is owning a physical device (which should be valid until the device is reset or invalidated by the person).
There’s a csv import and export, it’s supposed to be compatible with things like 1password, chrome and a few others.
I too would like to imagine whether or not I would release something like this in similar circumstances.

Yet this question seems unfairly loaded. At the least - premature.

Though we can easily imagine it, afaik there is no evidence of any actual abuse to date.
The new EU open platform regulations seem like about the right amount of regulation to me.
It's the same as the age old "guns don't kill people" that seems to work fine for the weapons industry in the US.

Seriously, this is where 'black budgets' are a thing.

There is serious money pumped into the MIC and the secondary effects are far more than tertiary at this point. Dark breakaway.

How much is a dollar worth in space. Asking for a Musk of mine.

And then you condemn Safari.
You're not subsidizing us.

That's the wrong way to look at it.

Your companies are just skinning you alive, because you're letting them.

A records aren't defined either.
Fargate is excellent. It takes the machine management and host management out of running containers. If you run docker on ec2, you need to manage the scaling of the hosts and containers, and also the packing of both. With fargate you just say "I want 1 vcpu and 2gb ram, and scale at 80% utilisation". Ive worked on projects that were too big to be cost effective to run with that model but for personal projects and for my current job it's excellent.
Part of the reason for this is that we are a people of stories, and math doesn't tell a very compelling story, at least not right away.

That could perhaps be changed though.

Reading gives us compelling stories right away.
I'm not sure if there is an actual transfer available. I just gradually accreted passwords into Keychain by having LastPass on normally, and then accepting the prompt when Safari asked me to save the password.

iCloud passwords works with Chrome and Edge on Windows but generally yeah you need to be all-in on Safari :V
I didn't know that was available (I don't think it was last time I checked). Thanks, worked quite well with the exception of a bunch of conflicts it wouldn't import.
The bar charts with borders look gorgeous, but it's hard to tell where exactly the bars begin and end. There is also the question of whether you retained the bar width and spread them out, or if you shrunk the bar width to create gaps.
Why are multinational companies who rely on slave labors from the mines to the factories selling for so high prices? (And how is it even legal?) That's a rhetorical question of course.

As for the import taxes, i would guess because electronics are a luxury commodity in many places they are taxed as such. When not used as a luxury good for rich kids to play video games, they're used by industry which makes a lot of money so taxing them makes sense.

Remember many places around the world still don't have reliable electricity (if any at all) or internet infrastructure. Some regions don't even want it as they'd rather preserve their eco-friendly way of life than contribute to the crazy show we've been offering them: first invent new problems (eg. electronics in cars or in agriculture) then sell solutions that will create more problems (eg. mining/refining/factory/landfill pollution).

Most times low-tech is the best answer, and i personally would argue the world and the environment would be much better off if IT/electronics industry were highly regulated and taxed, and had strong obligations to make everything 100% recyclable and actually recycled (also: interoperable, repairable, etc).

I thought I was an optimistic but you dwarfed me on this to the point of skepticism.
In single payer systems, they can't.

The government literally tells you "you sell it for this much".

And guess what, "that much" already covers their costs plus profit, so they keep selling.

It's just profitable for them to price gouge you, and you don't fight back, at all.
Most/all of the extensions are. Obsidian itself is very much closed.

It's almost like AgentDVR, one of those things everyone thinks is open but isn't.

Maybe because the quality is so high, with so few obnoxious craps added on, that nobody can believe it's proprietary in todays industry.
They have a huge second (or third-forth)-hand market though (which is actually maybe the greenest part of Apple’s operation and one I will applaud them for). Most people would probably be much better off buying a 4-5 years old iphone than buying the latest shitty low-end android phone thrown at them by telecom companies that will be slow even as new and will be literally unusable a year later.

(Though the same disgusting practice is used on laptops where a mid-class 5 years old laptop can easily outclass a “modern” low-end one..)
Arrays/sequences/vectors or a similar implementation of those exists in most languages, lisps are not unique in that way :)
I have the same problem. Would love to hear any tips.

Also on another note, how do you keep track of all your private projects? Do you do note taking or some other method?
Military research has enormous positive primary effect as it's one of the main ways to prevent wars. Nuclear weapons already prevented Cold war from going hot, saving tens of millions.
That's just BS, sorry. They could, you know, become more efficient with their spending.

The medical industry in the US has such a huge overhead, it's scandalous. You're feeding millions of administrative leeches.
That entirely depends on the circumstances. But given you are mixing criminal, constitutional, and civil law (libel, sometimes also criminal) in one comment (oh, and it's 'amendment') I don't think that this will lead to a fruitful discussion.

My only point was: you can disclaim anything you want, but that won't stop people from suing you if they feel like it (this can happen anyway, even if you disclaim any and all responsibility) and creating something that can very easily be abused and then thrown out into the public even though it is standard practice in the security community may well end up being a boomerang.

There is some precedent for the creators of such software being sued:

https://knowtechie.com/a-company-that-makes-iphone-hacking-s...

So I would not be too quick to dismiss that this could happen to smaller entities or even open source creators of such tools.
DevOps engineer here, I don't have any hardware/performance issues with my M1 Air.

I've encountered issues with older terraform dependencies that pre-date Apple Silicon that I've needed to update for some client work. Similarly, I've also had some issues with older node.js versions and dependencies.
"crypto investing and trading could be thought of as the internet’s largest Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) and, for many, it’s deeply addictive and fun."

In a game though you can bribe the game company to alter the rules and let you win. You can't do that with cryptocurrency, at least the proof of work ones.
> It works mighty well in other countries.

Very few countries have a single-payer system without health insurance providers, in case you're unaware. It's far from the norm in Europe and the developed world, or anywhere else for that matter. This map seems like a relatively decent source based on my spot-checking:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries...

This isn't necessarily an argument against it, to be clear. I think single-payer systems have certain practical benefits compared to which I quite disliked the system in the last European country in which I lived.
Four days in the office :(

>They're not the creator, Verisign created it.

They registered it, NOT created/invented it. It's like saying the Patent-office created your patent, but yeah you can loose the url, like you can loose your patent when you forgot to pay the patent-office.

Renting is just not the right word, because renting means that you never owned it, but someone else.
It is, after all, just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.
Or you know, they could, gasp cut lobbying expenses. Cut back on marketing (bribing doctors), cut back on admin overhead, cut back on...

There are a million things they could cut back on.

But the poor shareholders, would someone thing of the millionaires?!?
The fact that someone who is a university professor would remove their kids from the general education pool, makes me think they don't really understand one of the main purposes of education.

If their kids were kept in normal schools with other kids, they may have published academically a few years later, but a lot of their peers would have had the privilege of studying with them and improved their academic lives because of that.

It gives you filename, line number and function signature.
Yes, this! Without a export/backup function for these data, you could easily lose access to nearly everything and the lock-in effect would also be something currently unseen.
I use miro.com because it lets me thinking visually. I can represent ideas and thoughts with sticky notes, images, tables, embedded videos, etc., and then draw conclusions or find problems, allowing me to go on to make better decisions.

I think making "cave man drawings" (diagrams, lists, etc.), as I call them, when trying to think through some things is a clever way of starting out.
Doesn’t need to be either or. Money printers seem to work just fine
Tools like these will end up in the hands of those that are trying to harden an installation and in the hands of those that will end up using them to try to break into such installations.

I've often wondered whether the net effect of the whole security research community is a net positive or a net negative and I honestly do not know the answer. So yes, it is a loaded question. But asking yourself if what you can do is actually the right thing to do is always good, especially if you - as these authors imply - know up front that there is a large chance of abuse.

You'd be surprised how compact you can get a workable roundabout[0]. The brits have taken this to the extreme in some places,[1] Though I don't know effective a bit of paint is in actually making people treat it as a roundabout.

We can opt out by not using store rewards programs. And some go even one step further by not using credit to buy items that might be detrimental should the wrong parties get that data.

So don't buy booze and cigarettes on credit if you don't want your health insurance company to buy that data from your credit processor.
In cybersecurity the bad guys always win.

There are two very rough "proofs of a kind" I use to explain this to
students, both well known in military and counter-terrorism analysis.

One is called Blotto analysis. As the number of fronts grows large
(>12 is an important point) the game favours the attackers. Defenders
have to always win on all fronts, but terrorists only have to win once
on any of n fronts. Another scenario comes from finite board games
like Go. Defenders lose when their back is against a wall. Because the
space of practical human security solutions is smaller than the
inventiveness of attackers, eventually the attackers win. Biometrics is
the poster child for this kind of folly. There are only two edge
cases. One is to create proven trustless systems. Such systems cannot
involve humans in any way shape or form, and therefore fail by
definition as human security solutions. The other is to eliminate all
attackers.

This does indeed create a fountain of fascinating ethical conundrums
with regard to security research and the possibility for strategic
limitation of knowledge hazards.

After you get a taste of the free world of hiccup/reagent where it's just vectors and maps to create HTML, its really hard to imagine going back to anything else. Being able to use the same programming language in your "HTML template" (which are just core data structures in a specific shape) as for the rest of your programming is just icing on the top.

Small example for people to understand the difference:

// HTML & JSX
<div id="person">
<h1>Niko</h1>
</div>

// Hiccup
[:div#person
[:h1 "Niko"]]

Given that they are physicists and no one has actually been able to properly find an alternative to string theory isn't that what they're supposed to be doing?

Isn't the main alternative LQG which is apparently a dead end?
Phenom x4 consumes 110watt idle, whereas an Intel Nuc consumes <11watt idle. With usage of nine hours a day, 230 working days a year this amounts to 207kwh which in my country currently costs 108 euro's (power is expensive here yes). New (cheaper) Nuc set costs around 250 euro's. Fancier Nucs cost around 500 to 600 euro. Upgrading to more power efficient devices can earn quite some money back.
No worries, check the numbers - this is all in reach - solely up to us :)
> I'm not even sure exactly what it is I object to about the twitch one, but whenever there is a choice between the two services I prefer the youtube one.

I know exactly what it is. Latency.

When I press play in Youtube, it plays. In Twitch it takes probably 3 seconds to get going. Worse still, this delay happens every time you seek in a video. Trying to find something you're interested in in a longer video on Twitch is an exercise in frustration.
No I am saying Hinduism is default peaceful and your 'pogroms against Muslims' narrative is misinformed.
I was at a film festival, and saw a short film about AI or something. The film used just the music for the end credits! I told the director i appreciated the reference, and he was amazed someone recognised it.
I've been doing the same for quite some time now. Friday is my day off.

It really is amazing for work/life balance.

Another amazing thing is that you can spend time with your family doing fun activities but there are no queues. Everyone else is at work!

You will have to up your day-rate though.
Seriously. I really wanted to buy an iPad but then realised i have no use for it.

It's not as good as my laptop and the functionality in every aspect is still very limited. The only unique feature is drawing/notes which might work for artists but paper is good enough for me.

I want to like it but for now it's still a giant iphone with a pen.
I feel like integrating the two more could help.

A big issue with the motivation to learn math is that it doesn't tell a compelling story for students for many years. But perhaps that could change.
Hahaha, oh wow, that’s so funny. <depressed af>

Actually, I think it is a different personality type. The kid who does well at math because rules are provided clearly and success is guaranteed somehow is different from the kid who wants to get to the bottom of it from a curiosity perspective. Both are driven partially by ego but one is more fear driven and the other more joy driven.

Of course, years of academic training might drive the joy out of anyone, but many end up in academics because they just wanted to keep getting the positive validation through clearish rules. These people struggle in entrepreneurship but can do great with corporate advancement.
I think Apple is doing a great job, but I also think trusting by default is a mistake. Apple’s leadership might change. In fact, no one can claim to know apple’s long game. You guys should watch Love+Death+Robots, Season 3, the Swarm episode. I think it’s very elucidating.
Dumb question/super out of the loop.

QUIC/HTTP2/HTTP3/whatever, are my options still only base64-encoded (in case of binary messages) server-side events and/or websockets, or is there some kind of bi-directional HTTP2/HTTP3 thing yet that's adoptable + usable?
I have a problem with the borders vs no borders example. After applying the borders, Edge looks like it has less visitors than Safari. This is because the border is white, as the background.
I'd rather take a worse image quality if it means they can get rid of the notch. For video calls, the current camera is definitely good enough.

This may be good advice under very, very specific circumstances, but it's making a lot of specific assumptions that were not stated by the submitter.

For all we know the attachment this has created for this machine may well have enriched its user's life instead, with no practical hindrance for their work and enjoyment of the machine.

If anything, this person felt proud enough of this little triumph that they felt the need to share on HN. (it didn't sound like an "I hate me shitty 15-yo machine" rant to me ... quite the opposite)
That's definitely a sensible position. However, I believe these goal-oriented research projects have a tendency to fall stuck in local optima. Sometimes breakthroughs may come from just more people working on it and other times they come from discoveries made in unrelated fields. By cutting ourselves off from any expensive moonshot projects without a clear goal like the LHC, some of our hard problems may never be solved and we may never know why.
> Should we only research things that are cheap to test and eventually mass producible?

Of course not we should choose avenues according to what they are likely to achieve being better than alternative allocations. For another LHC that is a huge burden to overcome.

What is so great about LHC2 that you want to keep space exploration going at a crawl with commercial companies showing how to do it on a shoestring budget? Maybe the LHC2 will cause a discovery the LHC won't but is that probability of learning something worth sacrificing a huge portion of our resources on? Or is this that we made people gain an expertise and they want to continue with its path even though it's a pretty bad one to continually invest more and more in?

Personally, I have mixed feelings about learning fission and I would rather explore space and have functionally independent colonies before we blow ourselves up with a new subatomic discovery.
No! It would not. You could fund attic hobby projects all year long, but it's never going to give new data.

It is one of the great perks of civilization that you can combine resources to make something truly awesome, whether it is pyramids, moon landings or large colliders.
I completely disagree with you.
First it's really not that hard to replace components in a desktop and second the virtues of reusing components are some of the most valued one in today's world. I mean, global warming is not going to solve by itself right?

Apart from specific needs like gaming and video editing you don't need newer components. What may slow your computer is crappy corporate software, dozens of greedy tabs open, fancy animations on your 4k screen.

But you know what? All this is gone when you use an OS that's does not make high-end components assumptions (i.e. linux).
Yeah, you don't need macOS or windows to be a productive programmer.

Edit: added some punctuation
We would do well to figure out ways to make that lightbulb come on sooner for students.

It's easy to tell kids that mathematics is the secret language that explains the universe and how it works. Demonstrating that in a compelling way would be great.

It's a rather... alien way of doing something that can be achieved much easier, by "convincing" the leaders to spend that money on weapons instead.
Huh, this is weird - I happened to check recently, and the Pi 4 was listed as available, though ~20% more expensive than a few months after release ?
TBH i tried KDE every now and then. But FVWM does its job, has good docs and it's customizable. And last but not least, does not load half of your hard drive in memory.
All I learned from this response was to just release tools like this on Darknet Marketplaces and maybe Telegram and just forget the disclaimer
AFAIK no, unless you know somebody at Meta. Their support is non-existent (literally). When my Instagram account was disabled, I was forced to contact an acquaintance of mine who was a former C-level at Facebook to get it back.
I work 4 day weeks with Wednesday's off, but I'm flexible. If I need to do something on a Wednesday I'll have a different day off instead, if it all hits the fan at 9pm on saturday night, I'll fix it (or one of my colleagues will), If I need to do a 70 hour week then I will (with the appropriate time-and-a-half for the extra 30 hours worked)
This has a clear benign use. Of course it sucks that you can also use it in a hostile manner - but the fact that this tool is publicly available rather than hidden in the pocket of some unscrupulous blackhat means that every space that uses verification with these methods can now incorporate this type of testing. That's a net benefit for society.

I do think disclaimers like this are a little juvenile (it reeks of a US-ian litigation mentality), but you can easily imagine why they put it there. Perhaps instead of the author being less naive, you need to be more empathetic.
No, I understood, my reply was meant as a disagreement. You're defining "extremist" as someone who ignores evidence that counters their beliefs, but that isn't what the word means, is it? Or rather I've never seen someone define it that way before. You could use words like "stubborn", "closed minded", "ideological" or whatever to describe such people but "extremist" always means someone whose views or actions depart seriously from the mainstream.

In particular, most people recognize the possibility (at least theoretically) that someone can be both an extremist and also correct. Whereas by your definition that's impossible.
