Leaving aside the absurd logic, it doesn’t matter. Slanderous speech is not protected speech…the government is allowed and expected to facilitate consequences.
Off-topic, but does anyone have links to Musk's statements about getting first to market with full self-driving, or poisoning the well for everyone? IIRC, I read that here at some point, but I don't seem to be able to locate it again.
Indeed as potato said, link this article in the ML for them to see that NIST can not be fully trusted
impressive to me that this thing managed to construct global coverage provided by literally tens or hundreds of thousands of disparate actors, while delivering on nearly zero of the mesh networking dream.

IIUC each node is a one-way LoRa gateway. literally: a Helium device can only communicate with devices NOT on Helium.

in the LoRa implementation traffic is strictly one-way. a device can transmit sensor/heartbeat data, and that’s it. no ACKs from whatever IP service is ingesting that data, much less HTTP error codes.

the 5g stuff doesn’t really solve this. it broadens the applications — because at least now you can have bidirectional comms initiated from within the Helium network (TCP streams). but you still can’t initiate connections into or even within the network. it’s fundamentally flawed as a “mesh network”, in that it only works so long as a majority of IP destinations aren’t on Helium.
That's the difference between free speech and malicious libel and slander.

Jones is a total psychopath. What he did to those grieving families is just beyond despicable. Mentally abusing children who survived a murder rampage is way way beyond just dirty politics, propagandizing, and typical grifting.
Is it your view that the only way a group of humans can come together to make intelligent decisions and a group, is part of a national government? Why can't an organization of private individuals do so?

I'm a minor Russian political activist and a lot of my friends have had to fled the country in order to avoid persecution. This case and the manner in which the trial has been conducted is night and day difference to what Russian state does to it's citizens. I don't have the time or endurance to describe all the details to you, but just as a simple example — a regional parliament member has been recently sentenced to 7 years in prison for calling the current invasion of Ukraine a “war”.
Clicked the link in the article to the E language, but lost interest after an intro quote to Milton Friedman. Much prefer the animal mascots that started on O'reilly technical book covers, I believe.
Musk is (was?) not selling Tesla stock. It would be very hard to sell $8.5B of stock without completely crashing its value. He was taking out a loan secured against that stock.
Lol I'll do you one better. I've had DHS "not arrest" me but put me in a jail cell, booked and fingerprinted me, including transport by prison van, all while only "being detained." That's right, you can be jailed without even being arrested or accused of a crime.
Thanks for quoting wikipedia on market share, but I was hoping for technical details regarding networking on macOS, preferably based on firsthand knowledge.
Quite, but with yeasts I think there are some continuous cultures that are way older than just 400 years. Having said that, evolution will have happened along the way so there will be changes of some sort.

However there is still the living link with the long past.

It turns out that one of my 13th great grandmothers was from Cornwall (Padstow) So am I Cornish? Yes and also several other varieties of English (the tree gets a bit complicated, especially in Norfolk), Scottish (Gerdes even sounds like Girders when said by a Scot and cf Geddes), Irish (one grandfather from Dublin). I'm also German - Gerdes is our family name and that name was adopted by quite a few Germans when the law required family names (can't remember when that was - 18thC?) I can also note quite a lot of Jewish descent but I generally ignore being Christian - Confirmed by the Bishop of Jerusalem in Cyprus (we were stationed in the WSBA at the time).

I have barely touched on my roots here. They are sodding complicated and so are everyone's and so is beer's.
The lack of Roman roads in modern day Belgium may be due to the loss of some written records and missing archaeological information.

For example, the article "Roman highway uncovered between Antwerp and West Flanders" was published in 2021-03-17. It says, "Archaeological excavations in Adegem near Maldegem, West Flanders, have uncovered traces of a Roman road linking Antwerp to an important Roman camp. The existence of the road was known, but now for the first time there is archaeological evidence. The Roman road between Antwerp and the West Flemish municipality of Oudenburg has been discovered during archaeological excavations carried out as part of the construction of a supermarket...." https://www.thebulletin.be/roman-highway-uncovered-between-a...
My previous bot was a "wet mop pad" Ecovacs model without any of the bells and whistles, and it was pretty worthless. I got the X1 Omni specifically because it has dual rotating scrubbers, self-clean/dry, and self-fill. Night and day difference. I feel like I could eat off the floor every morning.
What tax, specifically, is Delaware a haven from? Incorporating in Delaware doesn't get you out of Federal income taxes, or state income taxes (to the extent your operations, which are probably not based in Delaware, subject you to income taxes from various states), or sales taxes, or property taxes, etc., etc.

There are some taxes that are avoided by incorporating in Delaware, as opposed to some other jurisdiction, but they round to zero when compared with taxes imposed without regard to where you happen to be incorporated.
This is a separate issue from whether corporations should be treated as persons with personal rights. One could argue for a more limited "corporation bill of rights" - but this is something that our society needs to explicitly agree on, rather than appropriating pre-existing rights that were originally devised in the context of natural persons, and just blindly applying them to corporations.
DID resolution is a security operation and has to be done by a trusted component. The document you get back does not have any additional integrity protection on it, so a resolver that lies will basically let the malicious party impersonate anyone.

The resolution process for DID methods also vary in their processing and storage requirements. Some method implementations may result in gigabytes of local data.

For these and other reasons, I don't believe real-world deployments will resolve more methods than they deem necessary. Of course, that would mean that between implementer networks you have far less portability and interoperability for DIDs.
Twitter is making two claims that seem to contradict each other:

1) The 5% number is right
2) Musk's number is wrong because bot counting tools are flawed because bot counting is very difficult.

So... if it's very difficult... perhaps your 5% number is wrong?
Maybe Abbott could redo his tort philosophy if he can shake down the tree owner more.
Yep, which I'm sure Elon and his entire crew of bankers and lawyers understand quite well. Musk is lying and sowing confusion in order to mislead people.
If the debug code with no optimisations is the one trusted most, that's what ships.

If the optimiser drops off some code as it thinks it has no effect, I'd guess that's possible to spot, and you'd want to know to either fix the code or remove dead code. I've not personally had to inspect compiler output but I do spend a surprising amount of time in linker map files understanding what's going on.
Interesting - what do you think the root cause was?
Youtube review videos show that it does. I don't have a pet, so no first-hand experience to share.
That schedule seems untenable even in the fairly short run. If you really need to work 90-hour weeks, six days of fifteen hours (and just one day off in stead of two) feels much more like something you could keep up for at least a month, perhaps even more.

If nothing else, 18-hour workdays leave at the most five hours for sleep (and only one for everything else, like mealtimes and hygiene), so you'll be pretty damn bushed come Thursday and Friday. 15 hours of work would leave seven for sleep, and double your everything-else time to a luxurious two.
I wouldn't mind having a shortcut or "I'm stuck" button that would try to figure out what my issue was based on my last 5 minutes of activity.
If Jones had stuck with "Sandy Hook was a false flag operation to take your guns," he would have been in the clear. The issue was his claim that the families whose children were murdered were "crisis actors".

Regarding Simon and Speck: one simple answer is that the complicated attacks may exist and simple attacks certainly exist for smaller block and smaller key sizes.

However, it’s really not necessary to have a backdoor in ARX designs directly when they’re using key sizes such as 64, 72, 96, 128, 144, 192 or 256 bits with block sizes of 32, 48, 64, 96 or 128 bits. Especially so if quantum computers arrive while these ciphers are still deployed. Their largest block sizes are the smallest available for other block ciphers. The three smallest block sizes listed are laughable.

They have larger key sizes specified on the upper end. Consider that if the smaller keys are “good enough for NSA” - it will be used and exploited in practice. Not all bits are equal either. Simon’s or Spec’s 128 bits are doubtfully as strong as AES’s 128 bits, certainly with half the bits for the block size. It also doesn’t inspire confidence that AES had rounds removed and that the AES 256 block size is… 128 bits. Suite A cryptography probably doesn’t include a lot of 32 bit block sizes. Indeed BATON supposedly bottoms out at 96 bits. One block size for me, another for thee?

In a conversation with an author of Speck at FSE 2015, he stated that for some systems only a few minutes of confidentiality was really required. This was said openly!

This is consistent in my view with NSA again intentionally pushing crypto that can be broken in certain conditions to their benefit. This can probably be practically exploited though brute force with their computational resources.

Many symmetric cryptographers literally laugh at the NSA designs and at their attempts at papers justifying their designs.

Regarding NIST curves, the safe curves project shows that implementing them safely is difficult. That doesn’t seem like an accident to me, but perhaps I am too cynical? Side channels are probably enough for targeted breaks. NIST standardization of ECC designs don’t need to be exploited in ways that cryptographers respect - it just needs to work for NSA’s needs.
> Most Asus phones are carried at Staples here in Canada

Maybe they were at one point, but the Zenfone 8 was never carried at retail in Canada, and Staples doesn’t currently have any Asus phones in stock.
IANAL, but I'm not sure if it matters, as long as the methodology is published? "Here's the number, here's how we calculate that number, don't buy shares if you think our methodology sucks" sounds reasonable to me, especially if they don't have a different number internally that they use to drive the decisions?
It's because travel time is the number 1 decided factor on where you live when you are commuting.
This is an incorrect analysis of where the conclusion comes from.

Allowing the use of the courts to prohibit slander is a government action. Slander and libel are long standing exceptions to free speech. "Fighting words", espionage, contempt of court, or insubordination in the military are other exceptions that come to mind.

The "the first amendment only applies to the government" is an argument that anyone is free to choose not to associate with you, or consider you a jerk, for something you said.
Many people also have trouble separating ideas from individuals. Ideas are imagination. They aren’t real until they are actualized. They can be beautiful or they can be toxic.

Ideas are one thing, but the transmission of them is another. The moment an idea is uttered is the moment that its meaning is jeopardized. Interpretation is the demise of the idea.

People have ruthlessly killed each other for millennia because they believe in the same idea but could not agree on the same word to describe it. A tragedy, not one that the historians would tell you.
So, transhumanists are just techy progressives?
That's a false equivalence. The court mediates the case between private parties. That's what civil court does. This is not a trial between 'the people' (the State) and Alex Jones. It's between some of the parents of the Sandy Hook massacre and Alex Jones. Jones is free to say whatever and the state cannot make laws about what he can say or cannot say, but that doesn't stop private individuals from suing him and winning.
Fair enough. I still don't rule out the rise in xenoestrogens and such as playing a role, but I'm aware of reduced suicidality and that's obviously a good thing.

> People with gender dysphoria are disproportionately likely [to transition]

Which age does that typically happen?
>By your own standard, you don't deserve to live.

Correct. This is something I say myself in the comment, if you bothered to read carefully.

>You condemn Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Truman, because they killed people. And then you come out with the above sentence. You're a bit self-inconsistent here.

False. I don't condemn any of those people (not because they killed anyway), I point out your own hypocrisy, and that of most people, when they worship those mass killers, and oppose Ted because he killed 3 people.

>Kaczynski didn't deserve to live, because he didn't kill nearly enough people.

Because he was stopped short, and because he, like many of us, had delusions of convincing people peacefully.

>Eagles. Cats. Whales. Seals. Snakes. They all do this.

They kill their own number 7 times per year ? I call bullshit. And if it's true, it doesn't change anything.
I wonder why they decided to name it "worker_threads" in plural, whereas most module names are usually singular, such as buffer, child_process, cluster.

Looking in the Node.js documentation, I see there are a couple other modules in plural: async_hooks, timers, trace_events.
A device that allows me to get both a desktop-like experience as well as a notebook-like experience is more wasteful than having both a desktop and a laptop? (or a desktop dock with monitor and a laptop)
But limits the output to 60hz and I get random flickering when reconnecting 60% of the time. However the devs of that app have been super active and it has improved a lot in just a few months so I’m sure it’s temporary.

Most of the objections to blackboards or whiteboards can be mitigated by carrying one's own tools. For blackboards, I bring my own Hagoromo chalk [1,2] which has a wonderful touch and is radically less dusty, and several Korean microfiber auto detailing cloths [3]. I use a damp cloth to wipe the board before and after teaching, and a dry cloth as an erasor while teaching. Every month or so, I do a laundry load of all my cloths. I see colleagues in stages I've passed through, such as carrying a sponge, pail, and squeegee, and I've learned to say nothing. If there's a stage I haven't reached yet, however, I'm all ears.

Blackboards themselves also vary in quality; some ceramic surfaces can rival traditional slate. One can't really judge the experience starting with a cheap, dirty board and using institutional chalk and erasers.

I've enjoyed whiteboards in well-funded companies. In academics, it is profoundly embarrassing how often a speaker will have traveled for a lecture, only to find a dirty whiteboard and the local markers dried out. This is why speakers would rather lip-sync to PowerPoint slides. Were I using a whiteboard, I'd also bring my own tools.

Pad and paper is certainly easy, but artists brave serious messes to produce oil pastels for sale. In my case, students are carrying student loans half their lives. I prefer chalk over slides because it forces a live performance. I then share my Notability drawn notes, because they're better.

FSD capable is a scam and should be treated at such. I thought about purchasing a Tesla in 2016 when they said FSD would be 1-2 years away. If I had gone through with that purchase, the car would be almost 7 years old. Given a generous reliability expectation of 10 years it would be unlikely that the car would ever receive a functional version of FSD. Resulting in a net loss to the consumer of some 18k (assuming a ten percent interest rate, if you go by typical American consumer debt rates the cost should be 65-140k)
> Which is strange, skipping over the trial and going straight to damages.

Well, its unusual for a party with a business and sizable assets to protect to do the kinds of things that lead to default judgement, since that's pretty easy to avoid and potentially costly.

But it's not unusual for a court to find default when parties steadfastly refuse to cooperate with court process, and Jones has had default rulings against him in two other Sandy Hook defamation cases.

Which looks a lot like he was afraid that discovery would reveal something much worse than what was at issue in those cases.
> there was a substantial effort to weaken cryptography, decades before 9/11.

Yes, agreed. Everyone should dig up their favorite programs and discuss them openly.
"Bernard Pettingill told the court that records indicate Jones withdrew $62m for himself from his company in 2021 as his legal troubles grew."

"The trial heard that Jones' business had earned about $800,000 in a single day selling diet supplements, gun paraphernalia and survivalist equipment."

The court records here are great. I've never seen a good analysis on the economics of misinformation, especially the private industry disconnected from state/political actors. Think everyone from big social media platforms to small troll farms down to individual influencers.

One powerful part of security defenses is making attacks economically infeasible, so understanding this is huge. Seeing the finances of an apex misinformation influencer like Alex Jones revealed is fascinating!
Hey all,

I built this because I missed the address shortcut tools you get at the big tech cos. I also wanted an excuse for a Rust project.

FAQ:

> Doesn't chrome already have this capability?

Chrome has a feature where you can configure custom search sites, but that implies that there's a query. Often, I just want to be able to type `m` and go to GMail, `c` and go to calendar, etc. Using Chromes functionality to do that feels clunky.

> Why not use JSON/YAML for the rules file?

I honestly just wanted something super simple, and I felt like using a txt file would limit my ability. Obviously I'm regretting this now because I want to do things like add "scripting" support where you could e.g. embed Dino and use that to execute JS that would run when you hit the shortcut, etc. etc.
I can’t tell if he’s a psychopath or mentally ill. Maybe whoever put the guy on air seems responsible on some level as well.

We love to point the finger at this guy but a lot of people were responsible for many, many insane productions by him, and no one questioned if it should be aired long enough to realize this would be harmful to the victims’ families.
Ask HN: Do you feel burnout or form of trauma from hostile PR reviews?
I am feeling really burnt out at work and talking to my therapist she is asking why I always seem to feel defensive and I am realizing PRs trigger my anxiety from being nit picked and having borderline hostile PR reviews for the past few years.

I am really not sure what to do to break the cycle but I dread opening PRs at job and waste hours trying to guess what people are going to be critical of instead of just opening it and moving on.

Anyone else feel this way? Anyone have any advice?

This has been happening for a long time. theory seems to be based on recency bias.
It's possible for cryptobro criticism of the fiat economy AND absolute skepticism of crypto/defi to be valid at the same time.

Crypto is a self licking ice-cream cone, yep.

Fiat, its management and its creation are politically compromised in complicated ways that largely benefit the wealthy, also yep.
Wow. I almost started working on a project 6 months ago based solely on the fact that PredictIt was able to get that no-action letter from the CFTC.
Just checked it out, you're right. They actually explicitly said:

> In order to do what's best for our users and the web, and not just Google Chrome, we will focus our web efforts on compiling Dart to JavaScript. We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome.
https://news.dartlang.org/2015/03/dart-for-entire-web.html

But I guess with the adoption of WebAssembly, that won't really matter anyway.
It's not at all strange to skip over the evidence trial if one party consistently refuses to participate in the process of providing the evidence. Jones' lawyer accidentally sending the material he falsely claimed he didn't have after some months after he had been found guilty by default wasn't exculpatory...
I mean he targeted the judge during the trial, which is... not necessarily the smartest thing in the world.
What It Means and Doesn’t Mean to Get a Job in Physics (2019)
I have no doubt that they are great at their job, but when it comes to lawsuits the judge(s) are equally as important. You could get everything right but a judge has extreme power to interpret the law or even ignore it in select cases.
It's sorta different in that the thinkpad one is portable even unfolded, but then becomes ultraportable when folded

This one is much bigger, making it completely unportable unfolded and only portable when folded.
