while it's true that a new employee brings in outside knowledge, it is also true that a new-comer tend to propose solutions to problems that seem obvious at first, but is then stuck with some organizational quirk or problem that prevents nice solutions from working (and find out that years ago, someone else has already proposed something very similar and it either failed or didn't work).

Old tribal knowledge is as important as new perspective.
Hard disagree about their acting chops. I’ve been watching Star Trek original series and Shatner & Nimoy were damn fine actors. The memes and mockery are unjustified. (Some of the scripts, otoh, not good.)
Has anyone properly debunked it? I just looked up the WEF promotion video about the Great Reset and it is just straight out of Orwell's 1984 including slogans like "OBEY": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPYx12xJFUQ

I can understand why people are skeptical. Youtube dislike extension shows 10% likes to 90% dislikes ratio on 1.8M views. Youtube's clarification banner doesn't help the impression. Why is Youtube putting warning banners like they did for Covid, but for Great Reset?
> low or high

Well, original standards are those of the armies - which compete, so relativity is implied. There is both selection and election there.
Are you on a Mac? I thought I got rid of this but I haven't tested on those.
How about - as an employee - using external offer to get a raise and stay at current job? Is that always a bad idea?

Many usually mention that the company will be bad to you if you stay, which means a bit of a childish approach. I mean, there is a cost balance to be made from the company side, given the cost involved in hiring and training.

I am at that exact point right now, working at the biggest, very well known British tech company.
What this needs is a (write only) way of physically updating the keys inside pluton. Doing that will practically do a factory reset of the entire device. Then we can have our cake and eat it too.
It doesn't compile because the code is wrong :).

I forgot remove reference for the T in the result type and in the return statement.

Interestingly it compiles with gcc-12 for some reason.

In generic code you do want to copy if T is not movable (for example when implementing a container). The annoying thing with the existing std move is that it might or might not move from the x depending on the implementation of the sink. This implementation will always move from if x is movable.

Different tradeoffs.

Now can we make a move with your requirements (only move no copy?) I think so. Let me think about it.
>But you are using it as a weapon agains Western culture, trying to trigger it into self-harm.

That's funny, so now calling out double standards is 'trying to trigger Western culture into self-harm'. Because noticing your own hypocrisy hurts so much, poor you.
Exactly. It ends up feeling like almost everything you're watching is advertising.

If you use Instagram passively like television, you're watching usually-polished content interspersed with ads, which probably feels OK. Maybe this is the majority of people. If you use Instagram just to follow friends, unless their content is all very polished (it generally isn't - it's them walking their kid to school or a basic photo at the beach) then your feed feels like:

1/6th mediocre (but relevant to you) content
1/6th creator-type friends promoting places/things
1/3rd suggested content
1/3rd ads

Not a great ratio at all. Especially when the suggested content has been ramped up and the ads feel like they've doubled or tripled. Went from my favourite platform to most despised, which is quite an achievement for the Meta brains-trust.
This is talking about the biggest cities in respective countries. Most people don't live in them, but their relative pull has increased. So this is data picking to overstate the effect.
Not really there were anti lockdown parties, but they didn't get much votes.

Australia has preferential voting so you aren't really throwing away your vote if you vote for these niche parties.
> Are tunnels not an option?

The 3,700 ft terminus refers to the surface elevation of Lake Powell ("Lake Power" in the article) when full.

A tunnel 2,000 ft below ground doesn't do any good if you need surface water.

Plants don't grow well in tunnels.
"Companies will be able to control their network" doesn't sound like a problem to me, more like a solution.

"DRM will be unusable outside Windows" is already the case.

"Documents can only be opened by authorised users" sounds like a dream come true.

"You can't boot Linux by default" is annoying, but hardly a deal breaker. Statistically, almost nobody runs Linux on their devices. Valve could make a change in the Linux landscape if they actually get SteamOS off the ground (third time's the charm, right?) but so far SteamOS 3 is only meant to be used by their own hardware.

It's been decades since I last heard about powerful Windows rootkits because you can't just swap out the bootloader anymore. You could try it and risk a non booting victim system, but you're not extracting data or injecting ads into the kernel that way. Malware hasn't gone away (partially because Microsoft doesn't want to break old, signed, vulnerable device drivers that are used to bypass signature requirements and gain kernel access) but it's harder to gain good persistence now.

I get it, I want to run Linux on these devices as well. All of this stuff should be easy enough to disable if you're the owner of the device. However, your freedom to use your device however you want doesn't imply that others have to put up with your choices. If I choose to only accept Microsoft Panopticon Validated Devices onto my network, that's my business, no matter how foolish it might be. Distributing my software as a .exe isn't some kind of violation of your constitutional right to run OpenBSD, it's a business choice.

Personally, I'd love to see a similar system provide a hardware root of trust for Linux as well. Qubes being able to verify every single step of the boot process and securely loading the system's (several) security keys would be a great security benefit. Hell, I'd even like to see the option to only run signed software on my machine to ensure the executables haven't been tampered with, either signed by the distro maintainers or by myself during the install process, but Linux doesn't have such features or configuration accessible.

As long as it's possible to disable this stuff or to configure it for your own, personal key set, I'm all for this stuff. I want the freedom to secure my (Linux or Windows) system in hardware, as long as you have the freedom to turn it all off if you disagree. I don't buy Microsoft hardware specifically because I can't disable or configure that crap, despite their excellent pen support and fancy designs, and I think others should do the same. That's my personal choice, though.
Obligatory link to the talk from MS where they covered the origins of Pluton on the Xbox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7VwtOrwceo

The video does a good job of the original threat model for this technology and how it works on Xbox.
Well at least engineers in 6022 will have job security dealing with the leap hour!
If I was going to hook a big language model to HN I wouldn’t do it under my real name.

But… I take your meaning. I think I was subconsciously channeling OPT because that’s what the thread is about.

I agree it’s the kind of thing a fine-tuned HN chat bot would say all the friggin time.

It’s extremely effective and reduce the moderators workload a lot, because creating a new account and farming karma again is easy. However many spammers and unwanted commenters never notice that they are ghost banned.

I agree that it’s not nice to them, which is acceptable most of the time for most people because the ghost banned members are not really nice community members. It is an issue when someone is ghost banned for bad reasons or a bit too fast.
"The cost of an apartment in Shenzhen, China’s answer to Silicon Valley, was equal to 43.5 times a resident’s average salary as of July"

I stopped reading after this. There is no mention whether the cost means a monthly rental price or a purchase price, or if the considered resident's salary is monthly or annual, gross or net.

Buying a house that costs 44x my monthly gross salary is nothing unusual and well below bank mortgage limits. Renting an apartment that costs 44x my annual salary per month makes no sense.

Journalists should put more effort into data quality and focus less on the sensational part. Unfortunately, the latter sells better.
I would recommend moving to Germany elsewhere. Berlin is certainly the worst place in Germany, Dresden or Leipzig are much cheaper, and have extremely nice quality of life attributes.

w/o cold winters/island: On an island you are on an island. Lots of germans moved to the Baleares, Canares, Portugal, Spain, or some richer Caribbean island, such as Kitts and Nevis or Bahamas.
But generally they prefer New Zealand over that.
Thank you for recommending alternatives!

Deepfakes
To save everyone the mystery: it's an article about Georgism, which is:

the single tax movement. An economic ideology holding that, although people should own the value they produce themselves, the economic rent derived from land—including from all natural resources, the commons, and urban locations—should belong equally to all members of society.
I always assume that abusing the "offensive" report option would put me on a list where they just crank up the ads even more. I do tend to report some ad categories (supplements, cults, etc) as scams though.
This is true and also, in a sense, very unfair; how our personality and who we happen to have as friends or parents can have such deep impact in how we perceive ourselves, the eyes of others, the world, and our options in it. Perhaps I am defeatist, but "choosing to own it" looks a bit like "have you tried to not be so sad" when facing depression

My impression is that the empirical psychology hasn't dealt properly with shame yet and that we must resort to psychodynamics or -analysis to properly understand its depth and impact. Perhaps someone here are familiar with good literature on the subject? Another observation is how unevenly shame is distributed; some people seem like they simply don't get it whereas others are drowning in it
I used https://genvue.geneticgenie.org/ – it's free and I've found it to be the best starting point for further investigation. I also have access to Nebula Genomics' tools as part of the package I paid for. Yes, there is a fear factor when you're looking at your own genome. On the other hand, seeing you have an increased risk of something can be quite motivating to make some compensating lifestyle changes.
> I do not because I just always assume I know nothing :)

What you likely do have is a sense of certainty that "knowing nothing" will not cause you to be rejected by your peers. It's easy to say you don't understand something when you don't fear that others will find your ignorance makes you unworthy.

But those with imposter syndrome feel that unworthiness directly. They don't have that intrinsic sense of belonging that allows them to reveal a flaw without fear of rejection.
Arduino programmers don't need to squeeze every cycle out of their hobby projects.
Best I understand it, this is required by Indian rules. They cannot permit you to carry out "banking" transactions with your paypal account. Meaning the dollars received must get back to a "real" bank account denominated in INR. And any USD you need to send out must be obtained by sourcing INR from your bank account, going thru RBI to get those USD (so they can monitor and control forex flows, including annual limits etc).

In brief, paypal is not a bank (in India) and is not allowed to act like one. Any money it receives it needs to transfer to a real bank immediately, and money to be sent out must come from a real bank as well.
> But you forget (someone came by with cookies) to actually shrink the backing array and also to change "top".

Someone could come by with cookies while I'm writing a private function too. This is more of a reason for having a function for doing something. Is the reason to make those variables private then to tell the programmer that there is a function that changes them and that you have to look through all the functions of the class before you touch them to see if there is a function that does what you need?

While shadow banning has some benefits, at its heart it is a form of gas-lighting (claiming that everyone can see your message, while it's actually just you), with good intentions in the case of HN.

I don't know that it shouldn't be used just because of philosophical objections, but it certainly messes with the idea that a system is meant to either obey or refuse the command given by the user, and do so honestly. Lying to the user that yes, the post is published, while it's intentionally hidden, breaks the assumption that a system will behave consistently.
Shadowbanning has two obvious benefits for the site:

1) Increases the time it takes trolls to realize they need to create a new account.

2) Pacifies angry, malicious users who might escalate their bad behavior when instantly banned.

I haven't seen HN use shadowbanning to censor anyone. The people who are shadowbanned all seem to post unhinged, profane, off-topic, content-free rants.

Personally, I think it makes the community better. If you find it slimy and cowardly, perhaps you should vote with your feet and visit other communities instead. There are millions of other message boards.
> But just keeping up with my friends likely did not have enough monetary value for Facebook

Idea for a more evil version of Facebook: users can collect points, redeemable for what, Starbucks gift cards? (I remember seeing a Facebook option to gift people that on their birthdays). You gain points depending on the time of day you post (gotta keep them returning to the app/site...) and the topics.

And how do we make money? If for example the network knows a friend that likes to read my updates is looking for a car, the network will (since e.g. Ford is paying them) tell me "Write about cars and gain extra points today! Here's a video about the new Ford to inspire you.".

Hey Zuck, want to buy my idea? For a few billion dollars I don't mind corrupting the minds of the world just like you did!
The WEF conspiracy doesn’t seem that radical to me.

You have some of the wealthiest people in the world flying into Davos on private jets to discuss how society needs to change to save the environment. Pro tip: When they’re talking about society they don’t mean themselves, they mean you. These folks aren’t going to be dining on synthetic meat or cricket protein, and they aren’t going to take public transit or give up a few of their 15 houses to reduce their CO2 footprint.

The reality is they are entirely self serving and it sure would be convenient for them if a few less plebs were crowding up the beaches in Fiji or jamming up the roads in NYC or London when their driver needs to take them to the airport.
> stop using chemicals and pesticides, move towards organic method of farming

That implies an 8x increase in costs, I heard in the past few days (cannot remember the source now).

How does that proof of coverage work exactly?

https://docs.helium.com/blockchain/proof-of-coverage/

It has nowhere close to the density for this to work, and there's nothing to stop the Beaconer and Witness from being the same person.

If the goal is to enable renting out of WiFi, then the sensible thing is to make a system that automates payment in ETH/USDT/USDC/DAI/BTC/etc... Or to put it another way, use the money cryptocurrency that exists and works already. But no, that was never the point of this. The point of Helium is to mint and dump the shitcoin.
Of course and they are doing this, there's huge demand for nicer cameras, ring lights, backlights, etc for upcoming streamers and influencers. But this isn't a zero-sum game. It's not like we have to Zoom every hour of our work lives. Startups like Gather Town are predicated on finding a permanent, but not total, place in the future of remote work. If my company pays for a subscription to Minecraft For Work (TM) so that we can have remote tech talks or remote social events on it, then there's value, even if it's only used a couple hours per week by per team at a large company.
What does UMA mean?
>As noted in the link: there's "the Great Reset," which is a broad collection of economic and social policies that generally prioritize environmental and social action, and then there's "the Great Reset," a neoreactionary conspiracy theory that says that the former is really about getting people to live in the pod and eat the bugs.

I've read the "broad collection of economic and social policies that generally prioritize environmental and social action" and they're mostly about "getting people to live in the pod and eat the bugs" (and buy into this or that new sector that will serve as an upcoming profit center).

They're not even covert about it, e.g. promoting bug protein as the "solution" to meat production, designing (and legislating) e-cash with full government control and even recommending its use to enforce policy (e.g. driving consumption to specific paths, etc), not to mention the "own nothing" concept (yes, we'll still own some things, just increasingly less, and with more rentiers coming to get a chunk of our income).

>But it's not remotely consistent in content with the conspiracy theory, which is a redressing of the iconic "The Other (Jews, Muslims, Last Night's Meatloaf) is going to take away Everything You Value" conspiracy template.

Nice strawman, but it doesn't have to be Jews, Muslims, or (to further the strawman) Last Night's Meatloaf.

It's enough to be global corporate interests and their lobbies, and government bureaucracies (who historically only know to add to their responsibilities, areas, information they collect and so on, never to take away, and which have been on a huge race on those fronts ever since the 1950s, that got "nuclear" with the advent of the digital era).

In other words, it can just be good old neoliberalism, empowered by the ongoing crises and "exceptional conditions".
Even ignoring the higher prevalence of colour blindness in males, it's pretty widely understood that females have better colour perception.

Odd lapsus.
> The problem with Helium is that there's virtually no demand for LoRa protocol's super-low datarates

yet.

FTFY. Personally, I'd love to relay my home weather station readings over LoRa - then many other things too, if it's cheap enough! (say my TPMS - why not? Then I can retroactively track my car to cross correlate where I went shopping)

Helium business model that's paying for the deployment of a worldwide network on a free-to-use band is brilliant: it will replicate Wifi except with a worldwide coverage + full control of the network.

Wifi may at first have seemed equally useless, but the network effects from the ubiquity of it's presence and the unification of standards have replaced so many things I've only heard of in tech history books like DECT
> We're all big boys and girls.

We (as a species) overall do not behave like adults, really. Not on the internet anyway's, or at least not all the time.

But here is the thing: @dang is trying to keep peace and order. He is not trying to be evil or nice. He is "managing" us. Literally. And this path of the least resistance seems to be working fine-ish.

Personally, I hate having a great article be "flagged" or immediately down-voted. It is more worrisome that posting a similar article some hours later will make it into the top 10 for the same unfathomable reasons. It appears that being up or down voted is more or less emergent (and random?), and that saddens me a bit.
Unless I am misunderstanding what you are writing, you're mistaken about unix time, in practice.

In unix time there are 86400 "seconds" per day since the epoch. On days when there is a leapsecond the timestamp of the leapsecond is given out for two (TAI) seconds.

A result is that unix time stays in sync with UTC and the difference between them doesn't change.

The belief that conventional unix time is somehow leapsecond free is a common source of leapsecond handling bugs. :( It results from misleading standards text which states that it doesn't have leapseconds, which it technically doesn't-- instead leaves the second undefined, which implementations distort to make unix time match UTC.

If your goal is to measure accurate durations, synchronize distributed systems, or point telescopes-- unix time will not solve any of your leap second issues.

Thats just plain wrong. In this case the environment means grass + wild flowers + insects + birds eating insects + insects and fungus that lives in the soil. That all survives under the panels and is ok with some shade and cooling. In fact this is better for the soil than intensive agriculture. And all possible without reducing panel density.
Really???? 6502s are still used (albeit as components)? People still do 6502 programming? If true I'm bloody gobsmacked.
