I'm not sure these are irreconcilable.

I think the idea is that everyone on a crypto network is untrusted in an idealized scenario - no elevated privileges.

Institutions/governments have elevated privileges in their financial systems. For example, it's illegal for you to personally print currency while someone in an institution somewhere has currency printing privileges. Relative to you, they have elevated privileges.

Saying you don't trust government/institutions with elevated privileges in a system you operate in is different than saying you don't trust them to operate in any system with you. If your goal is to reduce the scope of their elevated privileges, than legitimization of a system by institutions/governments could be viewed as a net-positive: they're coming into your ecosystem to operate by rules you've adopted, not the other way around.

The argument gets fuzzy as you explore the edges. Some folks in some crypto networks do have elevated privileges through real world social contracts (i.e. core devs forking a chain) - and governments do have elevated privileges under threat of violence.
Yes. Like putting a sanction on the open Matrix protocol, and blocking any user who has interacted with it.
So the reason to track and identify every app on every device and have a switch to remotely brick it is to reduce spam ?

My BS detectors just tripped.

Would you be ok if your home had the same "security" features? Say BigCo home builders install a front door, sensors, cameras and scanners in your home that allow them to monitor track and remotely lock you out of your home, your water and power supply ? Their reason? ... so that they can shutdown "bad neighbors" and keep the neighborhood "clean". And remember there's no fkin way you can get rid of those scanners, cameras and other control mechanisms.

But ya'know they gave you a piece of paper that says "we respect your privacy" with BigCo logo on it ?

I don't get why Apple, MS or anyone should be able to get away with this.
It absolutely protects your privacy in a system where the movement of money is public. Donations to politically sensitive organizations can be used against you, this technology limits that possibility, just as the traditional banking system does not make your transactions public. Many places in the world people do not enjoy your privilege of immunity from state violence due to support for activism.
Or any code at all? This is an attack on open source software no matter how you cut it.
It's a bit ridiculous that setup.py allows you to run custom code on install. Granted, even without this you would run the malware the latest when you import the module. But I've had all kinds of trouble from packages with too smart setup.py scripts. The best Python packages are just "xcopyable", meaning self-contained in a directory that you can just drop in the PYTHONPATH. Or if you really need a binary component, include binaries (plus a simple compilation step for other platforms) on PyPI.
I think what I found convincing was that, despite it being a utopia, the people living in it were awful. I read it imagining myself living there and saying 'of course if I lived there, I'd be happy' but they weren't, and the things that made them unhappy were so incredibly petty.

It's funny to see Nietzsche invoked in this context, since I'd imagine him giving much more weight to the slightly-more-ubermensch native MC than that of the society he clashed with. Nietzsche's a very subjective philosopher of course, but I'd imagine him saying that to love the world would be to refuse to engage with it in the glib way the society in BNW does.
So what protocol should the bare domain point to in order to not privilege one protocol over the others? Or should it not resolve at all?
Quantum Gate 100x Faster Than Quantum Noise
I work with GIFs sometimes still on production sites.

I know Webm and other formats might be heavily recommended, but there are a ton of issues currently in the browser ecosystem with videos and autoplay rules (looking at iOS specifically as a major problem causer here...). Those issues can make webm/etc more trouble than they are worth unless you're operating at a really large scale, or you're willing to lose your animations for a decent percentage of users.
Bitwarden sharing requires the use of collections always. It's either in your personal vault or your organization's vault, at which point an admin can see all the entries and assign them to 0 or more collections.
If you have strict rules on who can create, access and edit entries, it's a bit painful to set up.
Anecdata: My wife is a doctor AT A HOSPITAL and someone yelped at her a couple weeks ago as she was leaving the parking lot:

“Chinese, they don’t f*ing win! You don’t f*ing win!”

Made us both very upset
As crypto crashed, Coinbase stopped some notifications
It’s a good food with good properties. As a stand-alone product it probably wouldn’t matter but this is in the context of food prices already going up across the board and healthy food generally being closer to the premium end of the price scale.
And you believe it will be legal for them to arrest you for donations you made before those laws were in place?

That's assuming you're correct they would try to ban private funds. A big assumption.
It sounds like you’re good at working on those legacy systems and become more so as you keep working on them. As long as the legacy projects are there and need a maintainer, of course you’re going to be offered that opportunity.

So then what happens? You get offered that role. What do you say?

That’s the part you might need to work on. You might be giving an answer that is in more service to (say) your sense of duty than to your career ambitions and creative interests. Give some thought as to which is really your priority.
So interesting point of clarification. I was reading up on chemical weapons of WW1 the other day and fell down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, I found out that technically Iraq did not have WMDs, I think I was reading about Sarin gas and the article explained that it is 80% a certain mixture and 20% of another mixture largely. It then pointed out that Iraq had those two ingredients, in the right quantities, in two separate warehouses across the street from each other. So technically they didn't have WMDs they just had everything they would need to make a WMD on short notice.
I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted... seems to be an accurate statement. The Surya Siddhanta predates Galileo by more than a millenia.
It's hysterical in both senses of the word.
Indeed. At that time I worked at a dialup ISP. Our modem bank (45 total lines) ran off of a 60mhz Pentium with 64MB of ram and, I believe, something like 2 GB of disk. We also had a screaming-fast 90mhz Pentium with 128mb of RAM and 4 GB of disk for our web server.
Is there a give I to do this easily and is does it work on m1 MacBooks? I love asdf but the idea of what you said sounds great! How painless is it?
It's a double-joke because the narcissist truly does not care about this category of criticism.
Hey Ivass, at the moment only users who live in the USA can open a bank account
The comic has a non-literal meaning as well. (i.e. see the alt-text) The wrench can be a warrant, a confidential informant, or it can be a security camera, etc. Obviously, the world consists of more sources of information than encrypted data on your laptop and the information inside of your head.

Crimes happen in the real world, not behind a cipher. Some element of any crime is unencrypted and unencryptable.
There are a lot more institutions than governments. Also private institutions don't write the laws that govern the money so there isn't really a conflict of interest.
Hear you! This sort of unprincipled pragmatism, that overlooks any long term benefit over short term inconvenience is pretty much how things are done in India.
New hardware revisions are required to fix usually. You can probably detect a compromised terminal on the network though.
Unfortunately this can add some overhead to the memory table though. I wonder if there's a better solution than the one proposed here. Not that it matters for Brainfuck too much, as it's a toy language, but it would be very relevant for bigger STARK VMs.
Just a heads up that this implementation has exponential time complexity on pathological patterns.

Demo: https://tio.run/##tVddc6IwFH3nV0Q7WyXFIlrdUWr7uC/9B213BkIQKo...

pattern = "a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*j*k*l*m*n*o*p*q*r*s*t*u*v*w*x*y*z"
text = "aabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzza"
running time = 1.6s

It should be relatively easy to fix this. Insight: If the pattern contains two or more wildcards (i.e. it has the form "<A>*<B>*<C>"), and you've found a match for "<A>*<B>", but you can't find a match for "*<C>", you can stop immediately without considering longer matches for the first wildcard. The reason is that a longer match for the first wildcard will mean you to start looking for "*<C>" later in the string, and that's strictly harder.
I think its just a fun things newer companies are doing, especially developer focused ones. Noticed it on a few websites of newer SAAS businesses like this.
It's not intrusive to ask for an email. It's a slight barrier against spam (trivially bypassed but still) and of course it's mandatory for resetting accounts, informing users about stuff (like Terms of Service changes). I honestly cannot remember the last time a website let me register without an email.
They missed out on all that AIM avatar money. We could have had "Blingee powered by Unisys"
This is absolutely true, but it's a function of the business, not the individual engineer. It's not just about engineering at all - one of the biggest GDPR fines was to H&M for some internal data that managers were keeping on some employees.
Last time I looked, RTIC was the most complete RTOS implementation, but it lacked some functionality related to timeout actions in the network stack that I needed (and was provided by FreeRTOS).

Functionality appears to be increasing fairly rapidly though, so I might take another look soon.
> mismanagement and scams

Just because some coins are mismanaged or are scams does not speak for the technology in itself. Only to the fact that a lot of crypto "investors" don't actually understand crypto.
Strange how the NSA can just skate through this. Then again, the US Constitution also says "All men are created equal" and that was a bunch of horseshit for centuries.
I tried this and the output HTML seemed pretty awful, but perhaps I was doing it wrong.
Exactly. For me it's about the replicability of the attack. Is it restricted to government-sized organizations? Or can anybody with the skills do it?
This reads to me like the (more complicated but ultimately) equivalent of "a user reverse engineers the website's javascript!". As in, this allows the user to mod their client but it doesn't change anything for anyone else, and wasn't meant as a real secure element. I'd assume that getting root access to the user terminal gives them no additional privileges to access the actual Starlink data & control planes.
Similarity-Sensitive Diversity
And, according to Wikipedia, two attempts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_Tower#After_the_war_and_de.... Looking at the photos, it ended up more “split in three and keeled over” than “blown up”)

Being made of steel-reinforced concrete and being built hastily, I don’t expect them to last long, though, compared to the pyramids. There’s too much risk of rust destroying it over time.
I never had a problem playing it on my 386-40 with ISA VGA... I just hit F5 to go into low-res mode. Worked great.
> It would be like... if two dozen people were picketing outside of a big corporation, and the police came and arrested one dude. You would be the guy saying "they're coming for the protesters!" and I'm the guy saying "Well, if they're really after protesters why didn't they arrest all of them? And isn't that the guy they were investigating for a bank robbery?"

Weird take because taking one or a few persons out of a large crowd is a standard LE tactic for attacking protests and similar stuff.
It was mostly desktop (Mac/Win). Towards the end, we did some embedded stuff.

Our code could have been used for embedded, in some cases, though.

The deal was that C++ is fast. Optimization was a big deal. We had some fairly hairy algorithms. Even our deBayering (demosaic) stuff was crazy complex. C++ helped us to abstract the complexity, while enjoying some serious performance.
they will make millions by offering a standard, battle tested, open source, managed backend "distro" for people who have better things to do than handroll it every time?

what exactly is your question trying to do here
This is accomplished every day in every country in the western hemisphere by means of shell companies.
Is bash the bottleneck? Given the linked issue regarding comments in the file slowing down the commands, it makes me think so.
Why not rewrite it in another PL?
I agree with this. I manage a monorepo of 10s of terraform/terragrunt modules most of which are deployed to a k8s cluster.

the whole point of code as infrastructure is that your git repo is an audit log of whats changed in your infra. Once you leave it up to operators or persistent volume claim templates (or whatever else makes side effectful changes with being told) you're throwing all that niceness of control out the window.
If you're working on a new project the probability that it will ever go into production is less than 100%. Say a company can afford to pay you $150,000 for the value you deliver if the system goes into production 50% of the time they can afford to pay you $75,000. This is one reason why this kind of work is often done by an endless series of short-term freshers.

A legacy system is really in front of customers and making money and has a much more certain value to the business.
Have you asked? That would be the first thing I'd do. Make it known you want to do xyz. If a project doing that comes up and you are not chosen for it ask why. Not in a confrontational way but like,

"Hey manager, I expressed an interested in doing xyz over the last three months during our one on ones. project x recently started which focuses on doing y. I wasnt chosen to work on that project. Is there a specific reason why?"

Or go find a new job where they tell you you will be working on xyz.

It's likely just because you are good at working on legacy work and unless you make noise you wont be moved.
Idk about India, but in other common law countries, courts often don’t even award basic costs to self-represented applicants, as a matter of policy. I never really understood the rationale.
In the US, government agents absolutely can and do lie during the course of an investigation. This is why you should never ever talk to the police.
Some of that other cultures use to hate Western one. Doesn't they have or deserve a right to be kind of shy?
I'm sure both are true. It doesn't make physical sense or economic sense. Encasing the entire turbine with a shroud the diameter of the blades would be astronomically expensive.

However, there is no rule in physics that you can't 10x the windspeed with a focused inlet.

Natural mountain ranges around some farms have a similar effect to improve power output, but we would never consider building a natural mountain to improve turbine efficiency
> when I first discovered this site in like 2017, it seemed to be a place of tech-literate counter-culture folks.

Yep. I could see why you would think that.

> Now the counter-culture seems to be non-existent, and actually looked down on.

What changed?

> At this point, the majority of the comments I read sound like a CNN anchor script.

There it is. Your attitude. Your comment.

HN is still mostly what it was when I first joined. The issue isn't that HN isn't counter-culture.

Rather, you aren't.
The consensus on HN regarding crypto, privacy, and free speech has shifted considerably over the years.

I have a hard time pinpointing the time, or identifying the reasons, bit the current sentiment towards some of those topics is chilly.
You don't have the ethical right to force people to disclose their financial transactions, either. Nor use threats of violence against people for designing tools that allow people to keep their transactions private. Doing so is the action of tyrants. Many people in the world do not have the luxury of immunity from state violence for supporting activism, and this technology is meant to shield them from such.
No "shadowbanning", no bloated JS-powered websites that hog memory, when the web was decentralized and owners of webpages and leaders of communities decided what is and isn't right to be said or talked about.
Absolutely. This modchip is just a raspberry pi plus a couple parts. You'd have to try hard to get it to be expensive. The BOM for most embedded systems is going to be cheap unless you need some exotic hardware. It really does seem to ignore the amount of time this guy spent to get to figure out what parts he needed and where to solder them. If it was developed by a company instead of an individual, you can bet it wouldn't have cost "only $25 to develop".

Edit: fixed for clarity of thought
Unbundling Digital Identity Unlocks New Ways to Play and Build
I actually think k8s is (or can be) a decent solve for non-critical, low cost databases if you're confident about navigating the toolchain. The one big gap is storage resizing, which is part of why we're pointing it out.

“Bring on the bugs”.

This is how you properly engage the security community. In times where journalists are taken to court for looking at a webpage’s HTML source it’s really great seeing a company that “gets it”. Kudos.
From Hacker News or Techcrunch, it seems that engineers are creating exciting new software projects everyday, using exciting new technologies.

But in reality, most engineering time in the world is spent doing maintenance work or incremental improvements. This is the nature of building intangible digital products - it's not like tangible products (e.g., building a house), there's not a clear finished line. It's hard to declare a software product as "done". There'll be a lot of ongoing bug fixes, incremental improvements...

In other words, most engineers in the world are doing things that are not hacker news/techcrunch-worthy.

To stay intellectually curious, I think you can try to build side projects while learning new technologies. But I think it's also okay to treat your day job like ... a day job, just like other professions. No need to feel guilty for not using new tech or doing exciting things. You are bring in paychecks to support your family, and this is a great accomplishment already.
Strictly speaking, Intel isn't trying to do this in one go. They have an entire internal node which they are developing exclusively to disentangle the risk of GAAFET transistors and backside power delivery. The internal node uses FinFET transistors based on their 4/3NM process but also includes backside power delivery to allow them to work out the kinks one step at a time. This development node will never see any volume production and is being done exclusively to reduce the risk of moving to GAAFET and backside power delivery at 2NM.
Saturn also has conveniently placed moons that help keep the rings locked in place.
> There's some anecdotal evidence that with the number of non-native speakers learning the language, that Tá/Níl and Sea/Ní hea are starting to fill that gap in Irish.

Only among non-natives or natives of the Neo-Irish that is starting to form outside the Gaeltacht. This is not a change that is happening, from my experience, in the Gaeltacht raised with traditional Irish speaking parents. It's really a sign of the weakening of the language.
Subreddit moderators get per-platform (old/new reddit.com, official mobile app, third-party mobile app) stats and all that I've seen share those numbers indicate new reddit.com is minority, old.reddit.com is basically invisible, vast majority is mobile apps. Of course it will be highly subreddit dependent.

Could you please also clarify what living in the USA means? If I happen to travel with a tourist visa, is a certain amount of time necessary? I imagine a lot of those 62M used tourism visas. Are they allowed to go back to their countries and still keep the account, for how long?
It's easier and quicker to deploy, no licensing or registration, full customization capabilities, runs on lighter and cheaper hardware, excellent Windows app support via Wine... it baffles me that it hasn't become a standard business OS yet. I've never seen Linux on any company's computer that wasn't a server.
Or, to be period-correct, LILO or loadlin.exe to bootstrap Linux from MS-DOS.
The response from Starlink[0] was pretty amazing. I love this quote:
"we want to congratulate Lennert Wouters on his security research into the
Starlink user terminal – his findings are likely why you're reading this, and help us create the best product possible."

A lot better than companies that would try to prosecute him..

A lot of countries are like this, the main reason justice is swift in the US is the out-of-court settlement scheme where 95%-99% of the cases don’t reach trial.
"Reducing the workforce was a priority, new management techniques were introduced, and the method was to degrade working conditions in order to psychologically push some of the employees to leave voluntarily"

39 cases of attempted suicides, 19 deaths and 10 years later the CEO, Didier Lombard who previously stated that he "wants employees leave by the door or window" got a four-month jail term and had to pay €15,000. He failed to show remorse during the trial. He continues to be the chairman of the Supervisory Board of ST Microelectronics, and sit on the boards of a bunch of other companies.
Worth noting is that this solution does not constrain the memory value of the last execution trace if the execution trace ends with a `>` or a `<`. Since this value cannot be output, you could argue that that's OK.

Building sound and complete STARKs are really an intricate affair! I have no doubt that we'll eventually get there though!
My first thought.

I would like to play with this as I love terminal apps, but connecting a third party app to my Orgs Jira is a concern.

Would be cool if this was adopted by Atlassian.
