> I think this does not look totally bad.

Phew! But it's not something you wanted, right? This is not something that helps.

It is something that helps those doing the governing though. Tracking you. Why is it planned that we all have these sorts of id/wallet/health pass/etc?

Is it possible that it will be used as in China, with good citizens (uncritical of the government) allowed access to travel, borrowing, schools, etc nevermind the loss of privacy as each purchase, movement is tracked?

To me its plainly about control. Control like we cannot even conceive of. Even if the government is not rule by the worst (and the EU is not a democracy - there's no options to get people out) the change in society will change us. If we know we are always under close scrutiny, you will change your behaviour.

After all we have seen, I hope we are in agreement that this sort of gadget should be roundly refused.
http://cht.sh/ - I use this a lot. It outputs a short summary of common commands for many cli tools. You can curl to it https://cht.sh/grep for example or install their cli client
Issueing a chargeback is not always as simple “exercising you right.” You get your money back, ok. But you may still owe the provider the amount that you have taken back - or the goods received. The credit card provider is not legally entitled to make a decision on that matter. So the store owner is entirely entitled to refrain from servicing you until you pay up.
This might be a shock to you, but people here would rather have their democratic government in charge of identity than some unelected, for-profit foreign company in a country that specifically does not have any privacy protections for non-citizens.

FIDO is an open standard, that by definition doesn't store your data at GAF.
Gauls had better metallurgy than Romans.
I think it might have something to do with the convection current of the hot water. Perhaps the higher initial velocity allows the ice crystals to nucleate faster?
I have always been happy using GitLabs CI/CD tooling [1].

> That's a non issue in the EU.

Maybe in your EU country. ID cards are not mandatory in mine (Ireland) - a national ID card has been rejected by the electorate multiple times.

Be careful not to generalise your own experience to the entire bloc - it's not a homogeneous entity.
>Yes the police for sure, but this is normalising full ID verification everywhere.

The UK is not a part of the EU any longer, for pretty much all of the rest member states, that has not been an issue for quite some time... save for Ireland.

>At some point there will be a situation where you cannot do anything because you are in the 0.01% of the system that is broken.

The issued ID plastic cards would be as useful when you are present in person.
The regulation will have to make that illegal - there are several countries who would block the regulation it if it wasn't.

So the situation will be better for us than today - there will be more options providing the ID (and wallets), including highly privacy-preserving tech based on modern encryption techniques. That will make it much harder to be tracked by commercial players and much harder to be tracked legally by governments.

For the blackhat / illegal security agencies: you might make it a little harder because the US-compromised companies (FAANG + MS) aren't (always) involved.
But we're talking about the EU here, the second largest democracy in the world. Of course they're accountable to the electorate. This isn't a dictatorship.
The problem of digital identity theft/fraudulent identities exist very much, you can't get rid of crime by individuals or nations. So it seems that this would be a solution.

Most EEA countries issue physical identity cards already, so a digital one would seem a logical step.

Not that I don't disagree with the concerns about it.
Not parent but i feel i share some of his concerns: an even better markdown editor would be nice.
The current one is better than a lot of others but would love if it eventually supported more markdown concepts.

Personally i have these things that bother me:

* an option for a fixed width font in markdown editor (i like the look of the raw editor but i like the convenience of the markdown one)

* code syntax highlighting

* creating/changing tables with less effort

* very aggressive quoted text styling in light mode

Thanks for making reasonable software. :)
There are currently experiments in europe, to combine the too. Turns out alot of plants just need 2 hrs of sun and shut down after too save on evoparation.
Meaning 35 % of the sunlight needed and the rest as solar seems feasable.
On Linux, you can make your own very quickly using Rofi and a clipboard manager.
I’ve smelled pure indole before and it doesn’t stink. It smells like mothballs.

However some indole derivatives smell bad so my guess is that description came from impure indole.
I'm actually from UK and travel a lot in the EU.

Having been in a police station in Portugal they'd probably laugh at you for getting your wallet ripped off and run you to the airport.

And then there's the smaller towns in Germany. They don't even accept cards out there yet. Cash or fuck off.

I think this is far off the status quo across Europe.
I think you should not be redefining what words mean to make your argument.

Wealthy means to have wealth. Wealth is the abundance of financial assets. Income can become wealth if saved/invested, but it is not wealth.

There are numerous definitions of middle class, with many being "not upper, not lower". Upper class is defined as those that have the most wealth (explicitly not income) and political power.

$People with 380k of income, but without significant assets are not upper class. They would be considered upper middle class.

The SECs job isn't to stop people making mistakes or bad decisions. It's meant to stop people being treated unfairly and to ensure orderly markets. If people want to throw money at ShitCoin, that's their right. The SEC just needs to make sure it's clear what they're buying and the market for the ETF works as expected...
> European politicians are accountable to European citizens.

That joke made my day. I'm guessing Ursula von der Leyen is a real people's champ then.

> * Big corporations are not. This seems a step in the right direction.*

So let big corporations develop the technology? Especially those that are intertwined with the state? In otherwords, entitites where the state has created plausible deniability for itself? Great, what could go wrong?
It doesn't change the fact that our government is voted in, while private CEOs are moneyed in.

I trust the former more to have my best interests in mind.
Thanks for writing the article and explaining some background here.

Are you familiar with exokernels? They were an attempt to remove abstractions from kernel land and leave that to applications.

See https://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/archive/2019/winter/3310...

That way innovation can be much faster, because applications can generally move quicker than kernels.

Btw, I'm not a fan of object orientation; and I don't think our hardware design should be infected by that fad. But I think your criticism of the badly fitting abstraction of flat address spaces is still valid. I am just not sure that 'fast object service' is necessarily the remedy.
this is bad because it will be useful and more web will be KYC/AML compliant which serves nothing except surveillance

a good global ID system with zero knowledge is possible of course, probably even with this system, but no goverment will pass free up free control ...
The problem I've now noticed is that there are many games with ~2hrs of filler before real content (which may only be worth 1-2hrs) begins...
What do you mean itsme does not support linux? It's a phone app, you don't need to install anything on your linux machine...

However, it's not a good situation that a private company gets such a central role. In fact, Belgian government yesterday announced they're going to make their own implementation. Surely there's already eID login, but that's too cumbersome compared to itsme because it's from the pre-smartphone days.
That's a strawman if I ever saw one. If you don't provide ID to the hotel they may refuse sell you their services.

If you don't provide ID to the police, however, that's another issue altogether.
Got bitten by this. That's why I am waiting for steam deck to be available.

Nintendo's ecosystem is the most closed down and money mongering machine I had a pleasure to use.
Actually I'd hope the standard plastic ID cards would work just fine via a usb card reader.
Yes, it's also standard in Sweden (BankID is a private entity though, not government controlled), so the swedish state want to create their own [0].

I find Siri really useful - for a very limited set of tasks where recognition is about 100% and being hands free has a benefit. Typically this is starting exercise workouts and countdown timers. For more general tasks the recognition is still good (for me, seems to cary by voice) but even at 90% there will be one mistakes in most requests.

Chargebacks are not the way you do things in Europe. It's a solution for the US because consumer protection laws are non existent, but most European countries require you to provide dozens of documents for a chargeback. Going through normal channels,escalating to the mediator of the state is the way it's done.

Also, issue à chargeback to Steam, Apple, Microsoft, Google and you will also be banned for life
If you want to see what happens if you let people build what they want, have a look at Auckland, New Zealand. Low quality building on large sections spread over a vast area. High infrastructure requirements with low population density. It's not good.

This might be a shock to you, but people in Europe already have their democratic government - you may google "national elections" ;-)

And again, FIDO is an open standard, that by definition isn't run or dependend on the servers of "for profit private companies".

But gee, I must be total noob then. Open-Source can be bad, as can be accountability.

For the greater good I guess.
I don't work in an office, Dear. But thanks for your concern.
Maybe throttle response/automatic transmission/turbo lag isn't completely predictable across the same models? That would be disturbing.

I know that for example turbodiesels (even newish ones) start off pretty snappy but then turbo lag and other lags creep in.

What are you doing for meal prep now?
Good summary! I think the core of what you talk about is a fundamental difference between a 21st and 20th century OEM. 20th century OEMs see software as a not only a hassle, but something that is isolated in discrete components and thus able to be “vendorized”. 21st century OEMs understand that the entire car is a software system, and they should be incredibly closely involved with every aspect of it.

There is room still for company’s that only can transition halfway though. It’s not like vendors cant make their discrete components OTA capable. Vendors will also be just as capable of pivoting to new silicon in the case of supply disruptions. Ford, Daimler, and the other usual suspects, are going to be more involved with their software, but they will still have vendors.

Tesla can get away with a lot of this creative homebrew craziness because they have such an insane software / hardware budget. I honestly don’t know what that company’s software practices would look like if they didn’t have such amazing access to cash
Sweden also, yes. Although it is not similar. As I understand the way BankID works - it is responsibility of the bank that issued your BankID (or another company, as there are a few non-bank companies where one can get "Bank"ID) to identify you physically (using a passport, national ID, driving license etc). The government (in Sweden at least) is not (visibly) involved in the process.
I wouldn't rule out the fact that transformers are very amenable to parallel computation as the reason
I got it working a couple of weeks ago
The problem is that I have issued a chargeback by mistake (I confused the charge from the store with something else, as they have changed the name in credit card reports). I immediately called my bank back and explained that this was a mistake, but it was too late — the chargeback processed, the card reissued, my last order in the store marked as “fraudulent”, and I am banned for life from this store. I even cannot pay again for that order, as they are not accepting anything from me, and their support is telling me there is nothing they can do.

I liked that store.

Two points

1) There are lots of American soldiers, the majority of these are young people. TikTok could have a real effect on American opsec, in these times.

That, of course, also goes for other apps - and should / is probably regulated by the military itself. But it is more worrisome when the app used is owned not only by a foreign company, but a foreign company that's friendly with your current enemy.

2) Influence. In the case of any big conflict, the propaganda machine will run at full steam - this means controlling opinions. China has rightly observed that TikTok is influencing on steroids, and at a much higher velocity.

When you're very young, and living the dream life by being TikTok famous - getting that rug pulled from under your feet can make you do irrational and desperate things. Such as promoting whatever agenda the owners tell you to.

They may not tell this explicitly, but by what content will be shadow banned, and what will be promoted heavily.
Does the car say at which factory it was built?
Looks bad, but I wonder whether he got a faulty unit or if it is a widespread problem. It would be odd that Apple and review sites wouldn't pick up on it if it decreases performance to such an extent.
It's a rant and it's not information heavy. I've never heard of this processor (and provide a link, don't tell me to look it up).

Other OO processors: Rekursiv (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rekursiv) and that famously slooow intel iAPX 432 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432)

Interesting but neither (esp. the latter) were known as racehorses.

I'd prefer to keep the hardware simple and fast and push the complexity into the software, and prove stuff.

> would benefit from an HW/MMU architecture which focused on delivering fast object service, rather than flat address-spaces which software must then convert into objects.

That conversion may not be cheap (edit: badly phrased, the object mapping process and hardware may not be cheaper (edit again: = faster) than that mapping done by the MMU for conventional memory) - can you exaplain how it would be done such that it would be cheaper in time than the current mapping in the common/hot/optimistic path, and how it would not be worse than it is now on the rare/cold/pessimistic path? And how it would behave on average, between those 2 extremes?

And why objects everywhere would be better all-round?
Prior copyright cases allowed protection for “structure, sequence, and organization” (SSO) of software. Oracle’s basic argument was that Google copied the SSO of Java for Android/Dalvik. The Oracle decision undid that when it came to reimplementing APIs and libraries so that code could be compatible between systems. Basically, now no one can own an API or prevent anyone else from reimplementing and selling a compatible API, at least not in the U.S.

(I am a lawyer, but not your lawyer. Not legal advice, etc.)
I don't think either one is false. To me, 2 looks false if you consider the "system" in question to be the entire glass of water. But my interpretation is that in this case the glass of water is really many very small systems (pockets of unequal amounts of energy) all interacting with each other.

Let's say you're given a few hot potatoes and have to cool them down as fast as possible. You have a refrigerator but you can only keep one of them in it at a time. How do you decide which one to put in at any given time so they all reach temp the fastest? When the "system" involves many possible pairings of temperature differentials it feels very intuitive that some configurations would be better than others. So it removes the mind-bending thermodynamics law breaking aspect of it.

Admittedly, this isn't really what the article says! I honestly don't get how my above intuition squares with the whole energy minima thing, and so while useful as a thought exercise to at least help me entertain the idea, I'm not really sure it's correct?
I'm also convinced convection is the reason why it can happen under completely equal conditions (which are arguably missing from most experiments).

1. The larger the temperature differential, the faster the heat transfer.

2. The outer layer of hotter water will lose temperature very quickly and generate a convection flow inside the container, which would replace outer layers of now colder water with hot water relatively quickly, accelerating the heat transfer.

3. The outer layer of the colder water will lose temperature much more slowly, thus the convection will be less pronounced, not significantly accelerating an already slow heat transfer.

Of course all this will depend, non linearly, on:

1. The temperatures involved (1C water will certainly freeze faster than 99C water when put in a -25C freezer).

2. Shape of the containers (as it affects the convective flows and hence the heat transfer).

3. Total mass of water: I suspect for small (in range of up to decilitres) and large (beyond decalitres), cold water tends to freeze faster. The first, because convection effects are very limited for both waters, and second, because convection effects on cold water become significant enough to improve heat transfer.

4. Environmental conditions: relative humidity of air in the freezer, temperature of the freezer, is freezer empty, are the walls close or far, the actual freezer performance, etc. All of that affects the heat transfer coefficient and make it potentially non constant and not equal between the two waters.
> What happens if I don't want to identify myself?

The same thing as what happens in the offline world when you try to open a bank account or board a plane without ID: You're refused. Like it or not, for some services you need to identify yourself.

> What happens if poverty does not allow me to carry a digital ID?

While this is an issue, the issue is with a service being available only online. That issue already exists. Most governmental stuff is obligated by law to be available offline as well, but for private companies its more difficult.
E.g. If I want to open a bank account and I don't have a phone or computer, some banks already make it hard to do it in person.

> What happens if I lose my digital ID wallet or it is compromised?

The same thing as what happens in the offline world. Procedure depends on where you live. Here you have to file a record to the local police and you get a new ID card a couple of days later. Now it can probably actually be blocked and you get a new id immediately.

> Also judging by dealing with the average citizen on a daily basis, even securing an iOS device and remembering the iCloud password is beyond their level of care.

It's up to the government to educate people and make a foolproof system. That's easier said than done but a lot of countries already have digital ID systems and it's worked well for almost 2 decades now.
We really don't need more STEM workers. There are not enough jobs already. I did a physics masters and I (like so many others) have ended up in Finance because it was that or work for less than minimum wage doing actual STEM. If qualifications in finance itself were worth a damn, we'd be screwed.
Same. I feel like I'm missing something by the vast majority of other comments saying roll their own/unknown third party
Non-contiguous stacks are typically just linked-lists of call frames, or groups or call frames. One of the examples that used to be regularly trotted out comp.lang.c 15+ years ago was an IBM mainframe environments, where stacks were linked lists but still managed by hardware.

Off the top of my head, current examples of non-contiguous stacks on more familiar system with supporting code compiled directly to machine code (i.e. not language interpreters and VMs, where this is actually very common), include

1) gccgo, which compiles Go code to use split stacks.

2) gcc with -fsplit-stacks, which permits compiling C (and C++?) code which uses the same stack discipline as gccgo.

3) OCaml's new concurrency work utilizes non-contiguous stacks. I'm not familiar with OCaml toolchains, but notably they do generate DWARF and related tables so both debuggers and the garbage collector can properly walk logical stacks. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00250

4) There's a stack-smashing and ROP prevention technique call shadow stacks, where a single logical call stack is implemented using two contiguous stacks, one primarily for return addresses (or related metadata) and the other primarily for objects. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_stack Both GCC and clang support software-implemented shadow stack disciplines (SafeStacks), and some newer Intel and ARM ISA extensions implement hardware-enforced shadow stacks.

Disappointing to see that they're taking a centralized approach to this problem. There are alternatives out there, but I guess they're not interested.
Hot water melts snow, and the ground is much colder than the snow which isolates heat. So in your case the simple explanation is just that, the hot buckets melted the snow/ice and therefore stopped being isolated against the cold ground so froze faster.
They actually do.

You have a right to be able to return online purchases within 14 days in EU, but you can lose/waive that right for digital purchases, under the same law that gives you that right.

For how long was this rent, and WHERE? Every time I rented for living spaces, the contract had to signed, marked on every sheet that had text, and taken to a notary to be considered valid. This is because all the info is then used to calculate taxes at the end of the year.
