> Perhaps the most famous one on Android was the Stagefright attack, which could take over your phone by sending you a malicious MMS (which you didn't even have to open), or my getting the system media player to play a malicious MP3/MP4.

Which I would assume is not an issue if I'm using an old Android phone without a SIM card, so there's no way to receive any type of sms/mms message

Meanwhile the boomer generation in the UK is shouting how the drought of 1976 was worse and they survived without making a fuss (ergo anyone who makes a fuss is "soft", a "snowflake" or has been fooled that climate change is real)

There is no reasoning with them; they see this as a one-off and it'll be 50 years before the next summer like this.
> People on Twitter are either wilfully dumb or simply ignorant.

I think it's the culture of reacting to 240 characters or less. People already know what they want to feel and finding a quick and completely baseless confirmation bias on twitter is easy and rewards you greatly with dopamine.

Smart, mature people gather information before making a decision. Dumb people knee-jerk react based on low information. Twitter heavily encourages the latter by making the former very difficult to do.
I have an experience that the higher the keys the better. But buying a new laptop always means some time for learning touchtyping without mistakes on new kbd. BTW if you consider Surface's kbd better than MSI's it may be useful if you describe some points which clarify your statement.
Google "aluminum foundry fire", there is plenty of examples.

It does not burn easily but once aluminum has ignited it can continue to burn under normal atmospheric conditions, especially if it begins to melt and boil.

Yet another push to get a better bank, in addition to all their ridiculous fees. Ally blackholes Gvoice (messages just disappear), but gives you an email option to login. When calling customer service, they can do the challenge with a phone call rather than SMS. Capital One, Discover, and Alliant all seem to accept Gvoice just fine.

There of course is a major problem that Gvoice seems to be special, in that many places will accept Gvoice but not standards-based VOIP competitors. I even had a problem with someone on "Comcast mobile" not being able to text a Voip.ms number of mine.
So a lot of times you may be feeding a certificate into a bespoke enterprise application. Some of them just load it into IIS and off you go, but some of them end up being Java platform crud where you need weird incantations just to import them at all.

Look. This isn't 2008. Banks handed out < 4% mortgages for years. There is no way people are letting these loans go. The loan payments are cheaper than rent in many areas. The most valuable thing people own right now is super cheap money that is being inflated away. The group of people that own these loans will be the new upper-middle class.

Being an "asshole" isn't always a bad thing, assuming you mean "frowned upon for providing dissent along lines of unhappy, but factual, technical realities which are applicable in the current context".

If this is the new definition of asshole, then I am the king of assholes.

For Japanese (I realize that's not what you're looking for, stay with me) there is a chrome plugin called Yomichan which allows you to create an anki card from any japanese word you.

If you are mixing your money with known criminals so that they can hide their money then you are money laundering even if you have other legitimate reasons for hiding your own money. The creative fiction that you can't know you are mixing it with known criminals is just that. A fiction. It has been known for a long time now that these mixers are used by known criminals. Continuing to use and contribute to that means you are knowingly helping to launder their money.

I believe the first big risk of AI is job loss due to automation and the consequences of that for economies. There is a point we run out of bullshit jobs. Also capitalism’s cyclic nature is getting more turbulent as cycles become shorter and start interfering with previous and future ones.
As a former biochemist graduate ... I strongly disagree with Michael Behe's ideas on Irreducible Complexity.

It is not 'pure logic' because your analogy is flawed - biological systems are not arches or mousetraps. Imagine a system as a triangle of three components that all rely on each other. The vertices of the triangle are component (proteins, organs, whatever) and the edges are 'dependencies' of some kind.

Now add a fourth component, dependent on some (or all) of the others. Now remove some of the edges until you have a square (or 4-cycle). Now this system is 'irreducible' as breaking the dependent links breaks the cycle.

Essentially, all biological systems have a 'chain' of previous versions that were functional and evolvable into the next version. This is only possible because these systems have redundant parts, and flexible associations. For example, many proteins 'moonlight' as alternate roles within an organism.

Yes the XPS series is a bit of a cooling nightmare but for example the Precision 3000/7000 series are quite a different story.

(We have around 10 assorted Dell laptops from all the different models and we don’t like the XPS much by comparison, and wouldn’t ever buy another. Aside from thermal issues, for whatever reason the XPS drivers are very beta and always crashing compared with the Precision series which is just rock solid)
Tech workers DO understand what they are losing.

They have done the cost/benefit analysis and it’s significantly better to WFH in many scenarios.

One clear example is people that commute and have children they would otherwise miss seeing during weekdays.

Should social interaction with Bob at the office really be prioritised over being there for your child ?

I view one of the purposes of technology as saving us from having to make these terrible choices. I.e. Being able to provide for your family vs. Seeing your children for more than 2 days in a week.

There are just too many valid use-cases for Remote/WFH.

Framing it as “you’re not smart enough to realise what you’ve lost” is naive and misguided.

There is nothing novel in the article, I would argue most people already understand these points well.
And yet reality tells us EVs are still 4x more efficient.

At that age, I was just grateful to be able to print my Winnie-the-Pooh fan fiction. :P
You've made the assumption that the laws of physics allow for something that also exhibits our same behavior but in a purely non-biological organism. I see no reason why this must be so. The laws of physics are not entirely understood and neither is the brain.

Even granting your premise that the laws of physics allows for such a thing you've also made the assumption that humans are intelligent enough to "built something else that also exhibits our same behavior but is a purely non- biological organism". You presumably don't think a dog could invent such a thing but are assuming evolution has given humanity the ability to do so.

> Far smarter people than me are imprisoned currently throughout the world. They don't constantly escape because lesser minds are perfectly capable of solving the 'don't let them out' problem with a high degree of accuracy.

If a misaligned AI escapes containment even once in the entirety of humanity's future, there is a big problem.

It sounds like your model of AI usage assumes we will also have a perfect ability to contain any AI developed anywhere in the world, under all conditions, for ever (or for as long as there are computers).

The AI risk argument says we should take seriously the possibility that we may not be able to maintain a perfect 100% success rate on that.

I haven't suggested anything that is physically impossible - merely things that are improbable and hard for humans to achieve. It is hard to foresee all of the possible avenues for escape, let alone ensure that they are all closed under all possible future states of the world.
I have two smartphones for 2FA, one never leaves the house. But it would still losing one while traveling.
Absolutely!

I lost my iPhone 7+ recently and had no idea how attached I was to that phone. Being someone conscious of infosec I had iCloud turned off and what I thought were minimal apps installed. That said, and with the fingerprint reader/my 18 char PW, I'm pretty sure no one besides a nation state/NSO could get into my phone. So losing it wasn't really a big deal except for the loss of contacts (had most on a old phone) and being locked out of my email (thanks 2FA).

Unlike you, I haven't gone fully phone free. But I do now have a free Android phone that has nothing on it that I can be locked out of. No medical, no banking, nothing personal except for email. And if I felt I could get away with it, I'd have no phone at all.
I've been meaning to check that out.

There are actually a couple dozen fission startups. Fission is definitely an easier technical problem, but more difficult in other ways. Nobody minds if you fuse atoms, but you can't fission them without doing lots of up-front design and spending years getting through regulators.

Some regulators are friendlier to new technology than others. Canada does pretty well, and has at least three molten salt reactor startups. Terrestrial Energy in particular is pretty far along and has high praise for their regulators.

In the US, the NRC is much more difficult, and it's practically impossible to develop anything here besides a light-water reactor.

Depending on your studies, there may be decks of pre-made cards covering similar content. Try some searching around or search the ankiweb decks

The smartest people I know are communists, but I imagine the end state of both is pretty similar - everybody enjoying a surplus economy where work is optional and done for the betterment of ourselves and others.
Similar experience in the US with the banks I’ve used. I can simply use the PC without involving my phone.

Also if all else fails I can go in to the bank and take care of things.
It does not make everybodys lives easier, it makes your life easier by easing the support burden at the cost of making the lives of those who have to live with those policies (marginally?) harder (or more annoying). It is quite a bold claim that those of us who do not shut down our laptops every night have no reason to do so, and you know better than us that it would come with no additional cost to us to do so.

It might very well be that it is preferable to the organization as a whole to sacrifice a bit of productivity everywhere for less burden on IT. But IMHO it should not be a decision which the IT department can make in isolation.
If you mean this video it's actually a spoof of very well known nature series the music is classic from the series and most all Canadians know it. Often shown on TV between shows mostly or maybe only on CBC channels.

hope this discussion doesn't turn into typical HN housing post

- prices dropping is a good thing

- nimby are the real evil

- we should promote the idea of housing as utility not a store of wealth

- but govt encourages housing as wealth via subsidies and tax breaks

- poc should be allowed to build inter-generational wealth via housing. This shouldn't be suddenly cancelled.

- we should be building more public housing like germany and france.

- some random side convo about gentrification

- another side convo about suburban housing = bad. we should all live in tightly packed cities with no cars.

Rinse and repeat.

I'm not a firearm expert by any means but still have a vague understanding of the those groupings - "assault rifle", "machine gun", "sub machine gun", "pistol" with one excpetion.

Carbine.

The best line I've read on it was something like - it's a relatively low powered shoulder fired weapon but can only be called a carbine if it's manufactured in the Carbine region of France. I thought that was funny but honestly I've got nothing better.
Many people think the company with the best AI will win the self-driving race. However, AI is only one of many competencies needed for success. Winning is about taking a holistic approach through vertical integration and seeding an ecosystem. From this systems-thinking view, the clear winner is Tesla—by millions of miles.

>no country was ever made wealthy by just giving them things. Wealth comes from passing through the difficult stages of development oneself

It is kind of difficult to grasp but when you see a homeless man, the best thing you can do to him isn't giving away money, it is hiring him and giving him a job that pays enough to pay the bills. When you donate money to the poor, you are basically subsidizing poverty.

Honestly Keynes already had the right idea, just give them a job to build commercially useless things like affordable housing.

Time – Elon Musk Is Convinced He's the Future. We Need to Look Beyond Him
You know there is no need to be rude out of nowhere. From your own "incisive financial analysis" you showed me that you don't know how to evaluate the market cap of a company. There is not even anything related to DCF analysis in what you said which is basic, but just revenues and headcounts... And all this is fine I am not assuming (like you) that everybody here on HN should know these things. But unless like you I am not here to be rude and show off about stuff I don't know about, but to help people and to give a few clues about the subject if they want to dig deeper.

I think all this makes HN a whole better place...
This is not an act of ex-post facto lawmaking by a legislature. This is the executive doing what it has been tasked with doing under a mandate supplied by Congress in accordance with it's role as laid out by the Constitution. The Courts are not likely to be swayed by this argument. I doubt the legislature will touch anything that enables money laundering with a 12 foot pole.

The novelty here is that prople are being forced to realize how destructive getting sanctioned is due to bearing witness to the power of the network effects involved. This was inevitable, no matter which way you cut it.
The court for me is 40 minutes away. They make you park in a parking lot down town that isn't safe and you have to walk or take some shuttle to the courthouse. Can't take my gun with me for obvious reasons. Spend my gas getting there. Then if the parking lot gets full I have to pay for parking as well. All for me to be sent home because I know what jury nullification is, don't believe prostitution is a crime, or minor drug charges. But yeah, tell me more to suck it up.
Unfortunately, all Macbooks will get pretty hot running Docker, Apple's fan curves will always let your machine heat up before being audible.
Tornado is code, not an entity. AFAIK it isn't a corporation, group, or anything else - it is a smart contract address and a website.

The people who wrote the code were not sanctioned. The repo hosting the code was not sanctioned.

GitHub did not have to do this. This is Microsoft's legal department and the concept of "an abundance of caution".

Nothing about hosting open source code is at issue here. Tornado (the smart contract) was financially sanctioned; it is still fine to host source code.
