I recall in several write-up about potentially harmful apps that, apart from the review, another helpful method is to check the permission and see if it's necessary for the main function of the app. Having the list of permissions before installing is helpful in determining whether it requires more permission than necessary to function.
FWIW it's a similar situation in Sweden too.

No misunderstanding. A much larger number of projects than you might imagine, and a much larger portion of the oversight etc of projects that seem quite formal and structured, pass through informal structures such as DAOs.

More importantly, a large portion of the economic value of many projects passes through these informal, legally untested structures. And, as anyone who has read ICO white papers and read through the “tokenomics” can tell you, a significant portion of that economic interest is held by VC “whales” such as Binance and A16Z (greater than 5% = significant).

There may not be blood, but there will definitely be a whole lot of lobbying.
Wouldn't that be another case for knurling like that common on metal knobs, where the grooves are too large a scale to trap clumps of bacteria? It'll prevent mechanical scrubbing, but if a dishwasher is acceptable for cleaning between fork tines where the surfaces are blocked from direct spray, then the shadowed parts of a knurled surface shouldn't be a problem. Total surface area would of course increase, but only around double.*

That'd be all, but I found something interesting when trying to look up what threshold of roughness is too coarse for trapping bacteria. Didn't end up finding that; the interesting fact is that despite bacteria growth increasing in most surfaces when deviating from a smooth polish, stainless steel actually exhibits less bacterial growth when roughened very finely, on the order of tens of nanometres of Ra (mean absolute deviation of height of a cross section from the mean line, though it seems the fractal nature of roughness means the order of magnitude of measurement depends on the measurement method). That's according to [1][2] and their citations; one of them gives an explanation of the cell membrane being limited by bend radius, so that when roughening a surface at a sufficiently small scale, the contact area bacteria can make decreases rather than increases.

No idea about the implications of nanoscale surface finishing on gripping food, though.

*nerdsnipe: By what factor of cut angle, pitch, and angle between passes does knurling increase surface area, if knurling is modelled as an extrude-cut along a line of a triangle wave profile into a face of the raw material, followed by a second pass of another at an angle to the first line, and completed by rolling the resulting face into a cylinder? The simple case of a 90 degree cut to full depth in only one direction increases profile length (and thus surface area) by sqrt(2), but does a second cut make something elegant like a tidy factor of 2?

There's always "A World Made By Hand" by Kunstler if you want a picture of what life might be like after the world runs out of oil. It's more of the "dying not with a bang, but with a whimper" variety of post-apocalyptic book. It's bad, but not horrible. Life just sort of slides back into the 18th century in a disorderly, messy and ungracious sort of way.

The referendum was set up that way specifically because Cameron felt he couldn't lose such an "extreme" choice, and then when people voted for less EU - as they always do in every country - the question would be sufficiently vague that it could have been ignored. As it always is. The binary choice was really quite a stroke of luck because it made it impossible for the government to pretend the decision had been implemented when it hadn't been, despite obviously being desperate to do so.

As for the EU being "forced" to accommodate, that tactic was also tried. That was Cameron's pre-referendum negotiations. It was a total failure, he was rebuffed on everything and hardly talked about his supposedly great deal after he returned because it was clear to all that the EU had compromised on nothing. Both during the process and after it, the EU's position was always the same and boiled down to "we don't care what voters think, you obey entirely or quit and accept that we'll blank you from then on".

> For me, Java and MySQL kind of died* when they became an Oracle thing. I just don’t want to go near anything that Oracle touches.

Come on, that’s a cheap reason (for Java, for open source db I would also go with postgre but for different reasons). Java is one of the very few languages with a full specification (not “whatever our compiler does, that’s the spec”), it has plenty of fully independent full implementations that even pass one of the most detailed test suites for complete spec-compliance, and the platform is so so much ingrained in the biggest corporations that any one of the following companies could easily, single-handedly finance the future of Java if anything were to happen: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Alibaba.

And for all the bad things one can without doubt throw at Oracle, they are surprisingly good at shepherding the language and platform. It has been growing in a very good direction with fast update cycle, it has state-of-the art research and development going on, and with Loom on the near horizon and Valhalla on the slightly further horizon I would say Java has one of the brightest futures ahead. Like, Valhalla would bring automagically a huge performance improvement for free, and Java is very competitive in performance as is.
> "cashless society seems inevitable" is any guide.

If anything, if you (like me) would like to avoid a cashless society the you have yet another reason to be in favor of decentralized technologies.

"Cashless Society" is just Newspeak for "Total Economic Surveillance". It implies a world where corporations and governments alike have full visibility over what everyone else is doing. Blockchain-based systems already provide an alternative (Monero) where privacy is respected. In a world where Governments and Corporations can conspire to eliminate cash and extend their reach even more over our liberties, I think we should at least try to support an alternative.

Are you objecting to the cryptography and theory of ZK-SNARKs or the fact that not enough production grade applications are using this new tech to your expectations?

Proving systems like Groth16 and TurboPLONK have only recently gotten to a point where they can be run in a web browser, and circuit development has come a long way with Circom 2 and now varying zkVMs being built around higher level programming languages. It is reasonable to concede that we are still some years from seeing production grade SSI + ZK tech reach a mass market.

You're right on a lot of things here, (I appreciate the slightly humorous, gratuitous take on bad actors having had a bad upbringing) but you seem to be inverting the flaws in the no-trust paradigm into a trust-but-verify paradigm based on an assumption of implicit goodness which is no more borne out by reality than the assumption of implicit evil.

Maybe it makes more sense to look at it all through a different lens.
Classical, post-mercantile liberal economics, - that is, liberalism - is entirely built around a framework for dealing with the question of establishing trust between parties: Individuals do not have to establish trust, or agree with each other, or be friends, if they certify that they acquiesce to a system where the market is well regulated. In exchange they get the advantage of being in a market where trade can be a non-zero game that advantages both parties. The problem with crypto as it stands has something to do with unregulated markets, something to do with bad actors, but a lot more to do with the fact that no one has yet come up with a use for deflationary currency that's something other than a zero-sum game.

> That is not a central bank...

Assuming you read the entire press releases, so the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan as I previously mentioned [0], and the National Bank of Ukraine' NBU' mentioned in the press release and is part of the pilot program [2] are not central banks?

What does this say here? [0]

The Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan is the central bank of Bhutan...

And here [1]

The National Bank of Ukraine is the central bank of Ukraine...

It also says here [2]:

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) selected the distributed ledger technology, in particular the private version of the Stellar protocol, to study opportunities of issuing e-hryvnia and to carry out the Pilot Project.

The Reserve Bank of Australia have also implemented an Ethereum-based CBDC proof-of-concept which was successful. [3]

So the claim 'No central bank digital currency is planning to use a blockchain.' is still false. I think there is a strange sense of denial with the commenter who created that unfounded and baseless absolute claim.

Note from the future: After this got published and submitted on HN by me, I feel like kinda guilty for even writing it. The submission also seem to have its first comment(s), which I'm sure will not be very positive.

openly admitting what you did and talking about it is a good step to avoid the rabbit hole of posting just for the sake of getting points.

it's worth reflecting on that.

it could be worse. while searching for a way to filter submissions based on points i discovered a website that claims to sell upvotes for hackernews posts or comments, and downvotes too. supposedly these votes would be made from high-karma accounts. they even offer to sell accounts.

if you are ever short on money, apparently your account would fetch a pretty penny (NO! don't even think about it)

so you figured out what's popular. there is no harm in that. might even turn into a study. just take a look at the mail client submissions of the past day:

there were five submissions by five different people. it's easy to see which one is the most popular.

Isn’t this just sir Tim Berner-Lee’s SOLID idea?
Java promises that any variables touched by a data race are still valid, and your program still runs but it offers no guarantees about what value those variables have, so the signed integer you're using to count stuff up from zero might be -16 now, which is astonishing, but your program definitely won't suddenly branch into a re-format disk routine for no reason as it would be allowed to do in C or C++

Go has different rules depending on whether you race a primitive (like int) or some data structure, such as a slice, which has moving parts inside. If you race a data structure you're screwed immediately, this is always Undefined Behaviour. But if you race a primitive, Go says the primitive's representation is now nonsense, and so you're fine if you don't look at it. If you do look at it, and all possible representations are valid (e.g. int in Go is just some bits, all possible bit values are ints, whereas bool not so much) you're still fine but Go makes no promises about what the value is, otherwise that's Undefined Behaviour again.

I don't think Go is really unique here. Java put a lot of work in to deliver the guarantees it has, and since they turned out to be inadequate to reason about programs which don't exhibit Sequential Consistency that was work wasted. Most languages which don't have the data race problem simply don't have concurrency which is, well it's not cheating but it makes them irrelevant. C has "Sequential Consistency" under this constraint too.
The obvious one would be to fine Apple until they implement Android-style mechanisms for openness. As pointed out above, although they're being lumped together, Android is leagues more open than iOS. Does it even make sense to talk about an Android "stranglehold" when the OS is forkable and many vendors have their own spins on it, with new features often appearing there first before Google even have it themselves?

In reality they are going to be treated together, because governments tend to reason in terms of countries and people not technical details. Apple/Android are both rich US tech firms who aren't going to leave the market regardless of how big the fines get, and in Android's case literally can't (because someone else could simply license it or use it and step in to replace Google). So it'll be like all other attempts at tech regulation, it'll just turn into cranking the handle on the cash cow to try and fill a part of the lockdown-created budget holes.
SVE2 does not increase the maximum speed. That depends only on the width and number of the ALUs, on the number of cores and on the clock frequency.

The purpose of SVE2 is to simplify the writing of the software that exploits the data parallelism, both when that is done manually and when that is done automatically by an autovectorizing compiler.

With SVE2 it should become much easier to deal with data structures where the sizes and the alignments are not multiples of the ALU width and it will also no longer be necessary to write many alternative code paths, to take advantage of any future better CPUs, like when optimizing for Intel SSE/AVX/AVX2/AVX-512.

There are still a majority of programs that do not utilize as frequently as possible the existing SIMD units. With SVE2, their number should diminish.
Love the look of tint2, but only having one clock is annoying.

Sometimes I try to imagine how the alternative would be in a planned economy for software.

On one hand, it would be very slow and very inefficient.

But on the other hand, venture capitalism also has its flaws. Sometimes it sounds like there is an "excess efficiency" that leads to burnout and non-sense, where you constantly need to quote-unquote "innovate".

In my view there is a limit about innovation, you can't always "disrupt" over and over and over again.

My SO works as a consultant in a bank here in Rome, Italy.

She moved from a bank in the periphery to a very central one in the Parioli neighborhood.

There was a night and day difference between her old and new clients in wealth (with the Parioli ones being largely millionaires).

Old clients would treat her with the utmost respect and call her doctor, "dottoressa", and always listen to what she had to say. New ones were on average much more rude, pretending and overall uneducated. She would have to explain them that she couldn't activate them some service because she needed their signatures and they would go all mad and call her director or some friend in the bank.

They are on average much worse people and they're also much more money aware.

Another anecdote she recalled me was how some rich woman wanted to set up a bank account for a no profit to send money to some african country. Not only there was no way to explain her that it was not that easy to do such operations, especially for large sums because this would have to automatically trigger money laundering controls, she would just not listen and blame her, but the client was MAD she had to pay 8 euros commissions on 60k+ euros wire transfer, pretending it to be free because it was a "no profit".

Yes, there's good and bad people in each wealth tier, but rich people on average are much worse assholes. There's no comparison.
