Bad idea. A court can't compel you to type a password, but they can compel you to sit in front of a camera (to unlock your device).

I suspect you're right on all points, but if the 150/5 vs 100/0 logic is correct, they I wonder why this isn't the norm in other countries?

I think part of it is also that retail mark-ups are typically huge, so the loss on a few returns, even if thrown in the trash, vs the extra profit on a few more sales, skews heavily towards encouraging the extra sales.

Still, as someone who never returns non-defective stuff, it'd be nice not to have to subsidize those that do!
According to that reading of the constitution, nothing outside of someone's legally owned property is private, so mass surveillance of all of your communications, and a full central and secret police dossier on everything about you, are fully constitutional. Just saying.
Well, of course, sed is not the stantard...

It is still much more usable than ed. At least, it makes it easier to debug your script.
Maybe be straight up with them instead of "shielding" them so they're not curious anymore. As a European I find American culture extremely prude. And anything that's "forbidden" is automatically interesting. For some reason I genuinely don't understand however, most people prefer ignoring these kinds of factors of human nature and just keep forcing their values and norms when it's clearly not working.
I like Chopin (especially the Nocturnes), Beethoven, Bach and Ludovico Einaudi to name a few. Nothing with lyrics.
No one is arguing that the average remote worker is doubling up on jobs.

But many more are now compared to recent history.

Stealing catalytic converters is directly harming another person and also punishable with prison time, it's hardly comparable to working two remote jobs. But sure, some (potentially large) proportion of white collar workers may not be willing to violate trust by working two jobs, but many would.

Beyond that, if you think that all knowledge workers are ethical people, I would remind you about all the horrible software that exists in the world for the sole purpose of scamming or harming people. There's a lot of it. And it's all unquestionably much less ethnical than working two normal white collar jobs.
The real reason most people were upset about Cambridge Analytica was it revealed to the public how advertising and PR companies manipulate us. The fact they violated facebook ToS is moreso the excuse for the press covering it when they wanted to write another anti-Trump piece. If you were accusing a specific newspaper of hypocrisy based on two article I might agree. But you're referring to general public sentiment, and I really don't think most people cared or were surprised about the data collection. The shock and scandal was the realization that targeted advertising campaigns and information bubbles have the potential to sway elections.
Before RvW was overturned, Texas passed a law that lets anyone sue anyone who aids and abets an abortion: the doctor who performs an abortion, an insurance company that helps pay for the procedure, an uber driver who just happens to be driving you there, someone who lets you know what options you have available to you, etc.

Some states are just taking a scorched earth approach here, and nothing would surprise me about what they will try to do to punish anyone who is even tangentially involved in the process...
I think this can be generalized even further to the "principle of least power": https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/StrategicScalaStylePrincipleofL...

The graph data structure, I believe, is the most generic of data structures, and it can be used to represent any other data structure. This arguably makes it both the most powerful data structure and the, IMO, the one of last resort.
20 years in software: the bad, the ugly and the unspeakable
Elden ring offers 20 or so templates for messages and the ability to chain 2 templates with conjunctions for example: “Beware of {noun}” where noun is one of 200 or so whitelisted words. Kids still find creative ways to insult other players.

I feel "universal good" is too high a standard (pure fantasy even) for our species. I feel our species may disappear from the planet or with the planet at any arbitrary moment in the future; we seem not to recognise how fragile our existence truly is.

To each his own. But look at all the wonderful things that medieval kings commissioned to keep themselves occupied. Art, music, cathedrals, palaces, sports, plays, libraries, etc. The impact of a (generous) medieval king in terms of things others could eventually enjoy far outpaces this age's netflix consumption.

This was exactly the idea in 1973 Murcia, Spain, yup. BWR model. Same design as Fukushima plant at 30km of Lorca. Until a couple of dumb guys and a famous actor from the area see what was obvious, pick up some banners and saved the day.

The action payback generously when in 2011 Lorca was hit by an 5.1 earthquake and no central nuclear was here to be hit. None of the tomato companies that sell vegetables to half Europe were destroyed, tourists keep coming as usual, and none of the fishermen were crushed.

There is a big stretch from a "manufacturer claims my reactor design can't be hacked" to "chernobyl can't happen again", and neither is still a scientific claim.

The problem that I was trying to show is that people try to answer a question "can a chernobyl(-like) event ever happen again?" which one simply _can't answer_. Not in a "science" way, since to answer this question you need to predict the existence (not probability!) of a literal _punctual_ event which depends on a gazillion factors outside your control (i.e. this is not simply computing a MTBF).
Odd to see so much hate for the Nazis on here. They made some really great tanks and submarines!
Nickel Big Shot Called the Shots
Show HN: Five/Three/One – A workout app for 5/3/1 – is now available on Android
A lot of people asked when Five/Three/One would be on Android when it made the front page a couple of weeks ago. That day has arrived!

I've already made $70 from IAP in the two initial weeks, which is more than I expected. My goal for now is to make a grand total of a grand, like I did with the iOS app (which is now making >$500/mo [0]).

Anyways, this is not the end of the journey. I'm starting work on another tiny project for now, but will work on an Apple Watch companion for Five/Three/One after that.

Hope you enjoy and get stronger!

> Again, by your logic every single communication system on iOS is "backdoored" simply because iCloud Backup exists.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of iOS storage classes. The iOS security overview pdf from Apple will explain better than I can.

> I've never seen it on by default, it's a toggle.

I set up dozens of iOS devices per year. Logging into even the App Store (after declining to log in during initial setup) silently enables iCloud, and iCloud Backup. It is on by default and most users are never once presented with the toggle. You can accidentally enable it just by installing an app.
When we have a system that could prevent transactions, you'd think the most common use case is to prevent criminals to transact dirty money. But the most common use case is most likely China freezing dissidents' assets and blocking all alternative ways for them to safely emigrate.
Firstly:

company-specific base image = base image + company-specific source code fileIn

Why could we not be completely sure that company-specific base image + source code fileIn didn't "contain things it shouldn't" ?

Secondly:

> … also things in the original images of the commercial STs that one would or should not ship with the product.

That doesn't seem to be an example of "You could never be completely sure that it didn't contain things it shouldn't."

That seems to be an example of you being completely sure.
No coal plant has ever been decommissioned either, because its radioactive waste, and other waste, is now in the air we all breathe.

Same with solar. Spent solar panels don't go nowhere.

No other plant either.

> That was the point of them buying (and ruining) Oculus.

The point of them buying Oculus is because MZ thinks that VR might be the future, and he wants to own that space (Lest Facebook fade into irrelevance as a one-trick pony).

I'm of the opinion that the data they could slurp up from mining your VR usage is of limited use, because it won't meaningfully improve ad targeting. And if it doesn't improve ad targeting, there's no reason for advertisers to pay FB more.
I'm taking the claim of "sharing porn on social media" at face value.

I have nothing against producing, sharing, and consuming pornography but its typically done in private. A social media persona is public. It is inappropriate to share pornography in public. When that public persona is attached to a place of responsibility, then doing so is showing poor judgement. It's not at all comparable to being an orthodox jew.
Misleading title. Going from requiring a Facebook account to a Meta Account is a very minor move.
What I think is under-appreciated is that this is going to harm a lot of non-abortion healthcare.

I can personally vouch for the fact that hospitals in my red state were excessively timid about providing necessary or beneficial care that looked too abortion-like—with Roe-v-Wade compliant state restrictions on abortion in place. It's a safe bet that'll be even worse now.
Blithering moron? Bad person? I’m glad we are just jumping straight to the insults.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivers resignation speech

Okay, but there's a difference between Target throwing darts and accidentally hitting a target[sic] and legal grounds to press charges.

I administer marketing systems for a living, and on a good day we hit 1 target out of a hundred. People really overestimate how sophisticated the data is.

Police could have gone around buying phone books to look for parole jumpers - but the cost/benefit ratio on following up on every potential name would have been absurd. This would be a whole other magnitude above that.
Intramuscular sars-cov-2 vaccines to produce humoral igM and igG antibodies (and body serum resident T cells) based on a genetic sequence from 2+ years ago are now thrown away. That's unfortunate but a 4th dose has limited returns.

What we need is intranasal sars-cov-2 vaccine boosters to provide igM and igA antibodies, and more importantly trained tissue resident T cells, in the upper respiratory mucosa immune compartment where igG antibodies do not penetrate. That's where infection starts and replication goes (mostly) unchecked.

Even just updating the sequence to reflect current variants while remaining intramuscular only would be okay and that will happen this fall (too late). But if we really want to mitigate spread and mutation to complement the protection from hospitalization intramusculars give we're going to need continued funding for new vaccines.

In late January earlier this year we got about 3" (7.5 cm) of snow here in the piedmont area of NC. It only stayed below freezing for a day or two.

With that little bit of snow, a neighbor built a fake (?) igloo for their kid on their front yard. It was a pretty good size too, large enough to hold at least one adult.

What surprised me was how long it lasted. It wasn't below freezing for very long but the igloo stuck around for maybe a week even after temperatures were going above 60°F (15°C) during the day. It was in full sun during the day also.

This neighbor had previously built a sled track entirely out of snow parallel to their driveway another winter. So they are handy with snow.
Exactly that. I'm in the US and see it, but didn't know it was a US "thing". But yes, that.

Bottom line: It's hard to manufacture value and stability out of nothing but electrons. Those who disagree have been proven wrong.
It has nothing to due with God or dead guys who lived in the 18th century. And yes it should govern all relevant legal matters in perpetuity unless replaced or amended through the constitutional process. I am sick of certain progressives who think it's OK to undermie constitution and other institutions because it's "hard" to do things through the democratically decided avenues. The constitution is a living document that should change over time but it should change as a result of constitutional convention process not through "creative" interpretations. There absolutely should be constitutional amenent(s) protecting abortion, digital privacy, etc.. so let's put them in there!
"painfully clear " although it's quite unclear if (most of) those countries really need vaccines. Their fatality rate has always been orders of magnitude lower than in eur / us..
It’s difficult to discuss this in the abstract, but one benefit of SPOT is that it tells you which code (the users of the SPOT) you have to consider when decoupling/refactoring. In contrast, when it’s decoupled in the first place, but actually represents the same truth, you may have no idea that the other instances exist.

Writing code such that it’s reasonably easy to decouple or recombine existing uses is mostly orthogonal, I think. Usually you can just duplicate whatever is at the SPOT when the need for more than one truth arises.
So swap North Korea with Tibet and the US with China and the result is exactly the same.

> They're not exactly vassal states but close enough.

It's laughable that you would consider the EU a vassal state of the US, to the point I'm reasonably certain you're not being genuine in your argument
Feels like the argument that people are overreacting will be made every step of the way. The last Roe thread had many posters claiming that the SCOTUS decision is fine because "it just leaves it up to the states" even though the clear, stated goal of Republican lawmakers is to ban abortion nationally. I can't tell if these arguments are being made in bad faith or it's just denial.
It's a pretty strange comparison if you think about it computationally.

I'm very much on the deep learning train but comparisons with traditional statistics are rather somewhat tortured.

AMA with Zach Barth, creative director of the game studio Zachtronics
This is a conspiracy which doesn't have anything to do with reality or what is written in the article you've linked to.

The article describes a "Foundation" which was created 2021 to keep on building Gazprom 2. It neither has something to do with the decision to get out of nuclear energy (that was 2000) nor does it have anything to do with the Green party or any group which is against nuclear energy in Germany.
Well correct me if I'm wrong but so far as I can tell you still need a 'Meta' account to use them so... Not so great as it sounds.
Please elaborate on what has happened in the Chinese academic system?
Just after leaks of a killer VR headset from Valve? No thank you, Meta.

For those not in the know, Valve is coming out with a successor to the Index headset called Valve Deckard. They'll probably announce it later this year. From the leaked information, it looks like an absolute beast of a headset.
It has become a general problem on Reddit that mods view the subreddit they're supposed to moderate as personal fiefdoms. The supposed house rules are often applied arbitrarily. If the the mod agrees with your, let's say, political stance you can do whatever you want (including calls for violence or political activism), if they disagree, you'll get banned over nothing.

My IP became permabanned at some point after I was first ridiculously temporary-banned on /r/de (the german main subreddit) for saying that "the german Green party should be held accountable for their election campaign promises", without being any given reason for that ban.

After trying to contact the mods, wanting to hear the reason and asking to be unbanned, I was permabanned from /r/de accompanied by a snarky "Weg!"(Begone!) reply from some anonymous mod. I then tried to escalate this to Reddit's complaint department and only got an auto-reply that I should "talk to the mods". Since (being banned from /r/de) that obviously wasn't possible, I created a new account and finally got IP auto-permabanned for "ban-evasion", banning all compartmentalized accounts including those which had never been used on /r/de.

I still frequent some of the programming subs but only can do so through Tor anymore.
> Not trying to fix you. Just thought I'd throw out some ideas in case you wanna try.

Would you object to MIT now and GPL/dual later when mature ? Though I suppose the license doesn't count when people are just trying the lib (which they seemingly don't..)
Jeez, I know electricity prices in Europe are higher than in the US generally, but a 6.5c per kwh tax would have been a rate of around 66% at the beginning of 2021 when it was 1.20 USD/EUR and the average US residential rate was ~13c/kwh.
As someone with an Instagram account but not a Facebook account, this does move the needle for me slightly, but my enthusiasm for opening a Meta VR account is only slightly higher than my zero interest in opening a Facebook account.
Making good things doesn't, and shouldn't, make anyone immune to criticism.

And Volkswagen.

They were such good people, why are they so hated everywhere?
Because those are completely ineffective ways to get anything accomplished, and have no reward even if they are successful.

It's important to remember that activists are people who are working for free. The economic incentives for me to get a website or product to e.g. remove intrusive ads or pointless warnings are completely negative: it's a waste of my time and/or money.

That's the purpose of government, so we don't have to take on these things as atomized individuals. There's no economic incentive for me to build an inch of highway.
Really? Where does it say so?

I agree with what you say about the importance of a free and independent media.

I am merely stating why some media outlets mentioned here might be motivated to question one type of government a lot more than another.
This misstep cost them a heck of a lot of goodwill in their community.
I'm positive they will still correlate activity from your Meta account with your FB. One possible point of this is to keep Meta users with access to their purchased content while Facebook maintains their ability to block/restrict user access on the platform.
Interesting. That goes to show just how hard writing something like Rubocop can be. Lots of edge cases to consider.

>though it's possible the author of the article was wrong or was misquoting someone.

Yes, they were, that is the opposite of what actually happened. The real rationale is explained in the libadwaita release announcement: https://adrienplazas.com/blog/2021/03/31/introducing-libadwa...

>and one of my recent projects simply cannot be built with GTK4 due to features that were removed

Yes, they also deprecated/removed some features that were just broken or not so useful. That's not a GNOME issue.

>the second and third paragraphs still hold

This is just my prediction from looking at some of the existing Rust libraries: There will not be any viable toolkit for general use written in pure Rust. To do so would require a giant investment. If it ever happened, any interested party would want it to be cross-platform because Rust is primarily used as a cross-platform language. And because of that, at best it would become a poor approximation of Qt without any of the benefits. The closest I could ever see conceivably happening would be some WASM-based thing that you can then deploy inside Electron. And I say this as someone who rather dislikes C++ and (in theory) prefers Rust.

>and if GTK5 does eventually drop X11 support, I certainly wouldn't bother with it... unless of course somehow X11 actually disappears.

I don't know why you wouldn't bother with it. The code will probably not ever completely disappear, but X11 itself has already been obsolete for a number of years.

>Want to run an app that uses libadwaita outside of GNOME? Sure, but expect it to look completely out of place since it won't use your desktop theme.

I don't see how this is even a problem. The point of the GNOME app is to follow the GNOME HIG and design patterns. The point of libadwaita is to provide prefab implementations of the GNOME HIG. You can't make an app that follows two design styles at the same time. Like, think about this. Motif or KDE apps also don't look anything like GNOME apps and they look out of place. Windows apps also look completely out of place on GNOME if you run them in Wine, etc. On an open platform nobody can enforce a certain look for any applications. Eventually they will all look weird and out of place somewhere.

Right, but this presupposes that the particular tool in question is a "bad tool", and the basis of that presupposition elsewhere in this thread is very strongly implied to be "tool is used by bad guys therefore it's bad unless I specifically benefit from it".
A 10-year-old girl was refused an abortion in Ohio recently. Justice Thomas is talking about going after contraception protections. I don’t think anything is inconceivable at this point.
