Commuting is a giant waste of resources no question about it. Also most companies would probably work remote only just fine. That being said, I totally get why you would want people in the office if you are very ambitious, doing creative or dynamic work. It is just a different dynamic all together. YMMV
As many comments said, not everyone has the same list of "vilified" industries. I wouldn't expect to find a vegan working at KFC or a very religious person in the porn industry. But it's only based on their own moral & principles. Not something intrinsic to these industries.

What I will add and what I find ironic is : the "journalists" at the economist virtue-signaling with such articles from a position of moral superiority when it can be argued that one of the biggest pollution of our time is mental pollution, with the kind of articles their colleague in the publishing/media industry are doing...
"What no [spouse] of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window.” – Burton Rascoe

That said, while I was familiar with this old saying, I've never heard of Burton Rascoe, and I had to use Google to attribute the quote properly. Maybe keeping one's nose to the proverbial grindstone at the office really is the secret to success.

I doubt it, though.
> If it's not what you signed up for, isn't that pretty much the definition of spam?

Nope. There's not much point in relying on a "definition" of spam that is essentially subjective. "Hey, I signed up for your newsletter, but what you've sent me isn't news to me, or I just don't like it; so it's spam".

>Building B sits empty for 16 hours a day while Building A sits empty for 10 with both being heated/cooled for 24 hours.

Don't know where you live and work, but that's not the case for me. In most buildings I've worked in, aircon/heating switches off around 6pm. And I certainly don't leave my home heated while not in it.

Of everything wrong with modern society, the inefficiency of having separate home and office buildings ranks pretty low imho.
Yeah, I guess that's a fair way of describing threshold cryptography and a threshold network. There was actually already once a proposal of creating a "timelapse encryption service", by Rabin in 2006 (https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/26506434) they said they were planning on implementing and deploying such a service, but it never made it AFAIK.
The main difference here is that it's relying on an existing service providing also something else, namely public randomness, and that this service has been running for 2 years and never had any disruption so far.

In any case another assumption is that there are no quantum computers able to break your ciphertext since every primitive used here is broken by quantum computers. So it would be ill-advised to use it to encrypt something that cannot be decrypted until 10, 20 or 50 years, since it might well be broken by then if even if the network survived.
But for near-future things, it works well.
I kindly disagree with you. Most of the platform provided by a console is nicely abstracted with SDKs. The code they touch is the SDK which provides direct, and tailored access to utilities and capabilities provided by the platform itself.

Even the Linux binaries of then AAA titles are ported by some talented developers, sometimes out of the studio.

I remember porting of Unreal Tournament to Linux was an official effort, but a work of a single guy.

So, I don't expect studio-wide POSIX knowledge on game studios.
I think they were saying it shouldn’t be failing, not that it’s reliable. From personal experience, I got a server with two local drives. Both drives ended up failing within 15 minutes of each other. That was an annoying day…
Totally agree. This is my personal barrier towards returning to an office in a "tech city." If I could live a reasonable distance and commute, I'd have no major objection to going to an office at least part time. However, affordability is a giant concern.

Rents will follow mortgage rates as well. I just did a quick lookup of 3 bedrooms around Apple's office in Cupertino and they are about $7,000 or so a month which means you're paying about $90,000 in cash a year in rent.
May be your definition of “healthy” might be reviewed. Most <40yo dying were morbid obese. Not healthy.
Yeah I’ve been able to do those activities more often, not less, since working from home.
"Many concurrent writes" is challenging to many parts of most architectures, not just databases. For example it means your caching strategy has to be more complicated than with most read-heavy apps.
Also, be careful of a "last player attack" when XORing randomness: if your last source could spy on the state of your buffer, or on all other randomness sources, it can trivially craft a string that would XOR to a specific value once XORed with the other sources.
I'm certainly no expert either, but as I understand it, the effect of language on color perception is complex and still under debate. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity_and_the_...

However, the claim the authors of this paper seem to be making is that ancient observers did perceive and distinguish different colors of stars -- as evidenced by the fact that they grouped stars in a way that largely matches modern observations -- but that Betelgeuse is a notable outlier in their observations compared to modern ones. That can't be explained by simply saying that the observers were less perceptive than we are now.

And it's not just one source, but multiple observers from different cultures whose observations corroborate one another.

Why not use uBlock Origin? It works on multiple sites, not just Facebook.
This is because of fraud. Everyone either does this, or enables the fraudsters. The only third option is to get rid of email, except the fraudsters would just move on to the next thing.

Assume that you’ll have availability problems with email and engineer with that in mind.
It's spam detection evasion.

Also, depending on the legislative framework, it might be illegal: If I give company my email address with a plus and an identifier in it, I give them permission to contact me under that specific email (with the plus on it). If I as a result receive emails under another address (without the plus on it), this might be a GDPR violation.

> Yes, those people are writing hardware emulators. Doesn't mean they're the only "real" kind.

They're the only kind that doesn't involve a super broad definition of what the word “emulation” means (so broad that most computing actually fits in this definition).

> As for my Intel CPU, it isn't pretending to be another kind of CPU.

Until one day you realize that you can run an x86 program on a 64 bit CPU (but fortunately, this isn't done through “emulation” proper either).
It could, and that's why a solid threshold network should have nodes in different locations, jurisdictions, cloud providers, etc. and have a threshold that's high enough to avoid that risk.
That's a simple monoalphabetic substitution cypher, as would be any one-to-one fixed mapping.

I will try and remember when it is published. The argument is quite strong though in my opinion, basically that photons are simply Fourier-limited modes, so they always deposit energy over a time window according to the uncertainty relation df x dt = pi/4. Also this means they really don't exist as point particles

> If preventing data loss is important for your app then this would be more hassle than using a networked db

How so? A networked database requires a persistent connection, while SQLite backups work fine with an intermittent connection. The best case (100% network uptime) and worst case (total network outage) are the same, but in the middle, SQLite-with-backups is more resilient to brief outages.

>As far as I'm aware it was a regression (though I could be wrong), as it's a very rarely seen thing in reality and there was a sudden rash of news articles about it and then little since.

This can be because the "bad press" made it that the human driver also pays attention, if we would have access to all the data I am 100% sure we will find daily cases where the human prevents this frontal colission with trucks, trains and walls to happen.

How can it be a regression? Any official explanation from a Tesla engineer? Did they had some bad detection and some dude decided to change some parameter values or was this blamed on the AI? I am super curious to read this, if it was on HN I missed it.

>That's not how neural networks work.

I know how ANN work, but good engineers always use best tool for the job and split a big problem in smaller independent problems, it is easy to developer and test. I assume the fault is with people above that rush the engineers and force them to work with impossible constraints.

>Again, as I stated, it would result in the media comparing apples and oranges as Tesla does not restrict where you're allowed to drive. I'm sure if you took a Waymo to a snow covered dirt road in the winter time it wouldn't be able to drive at all so is that infinite dis-engagements?

This makes no sense dude, you are trying to hard to bend logic.
Tesla can show numbers limited to a city or a road. Let me think for you and Tesla PR

"On the road from A to B, 25km of heavy traffic, 500k cars daily, Tesla had 3 dis-engagements daily but the same number of humans in similar cars cause in average 5 accidents on this exact road and conditions".

If the data is precise and correct and shows Tesla is better then humans then it would be public, if Waymo can do better then good for them.

Though I would prefer Tesla would publish data for theentire city not only one street.

Btw I notice how you Tesla and Apple fans defend the giant companies with shit like "the press will say mean things" or "some bad customer will sabotage the device" or "some idiot might do idiotic things and go to the press so let's remove your rights".

The press did a good job to show that the AI can't be trusted and probably saved lives. This would not have been needed if Tesla would not have used false advertising.
> In the EU, spam has been long defined as unsolicited commercial communications

True. But spam has existed since long before EU regulators got interested; one type of spam that isn't covered by the EU rules is political spam. At one time I used to get a lot of political spam from US politicians and parties. I've never been a US citizen, and I don't get to vote in US elections - these politicians were spamming mailing lists.

The EU rules specifically exclude spam that isn't trying to sell you something for money. Why? Possibly because the rules are made by politicians, who prefer that their own spam isn't included.

Basically: we haven’t been able to just stop Synapse dev because there are tonnes of people using it, and it’s ended up being a mature solution in the end. So we switched emphasis on Dendrite to be for embedded homeservers instead. Once Dendrite is as mature as Synapse and we have account portability then folks may migrate, but we haven’t been able to afford to let Synapse stagnate while that happens.
There isn't an "epistemological support", it's all philosophical arguments. But physicists are nowadays willing to engage in philosophical arguments: your long wait is over. I went to a conference called Emergent Quantum Mechanics (EmQM) at the start of my PhD and it was almost all a semi-philosophical inquiry. Literally the chosen topic of the conference was "towards an ontology of quantum mechanics"

If you think that physicists in general aren't working on these things you are probably confined within one subfield of physics. There are definitely thousands of physicists who spend a lot of time reading and writing papers on these kind of ontological topics

I had some issues with my iCloud "Hide my email" once too when trying to contact support. Either they weren't getting my emails or they were purposefully ignoring my refund requests until I contacted my card company.

> Probably doesn't have a letsencrypt client.

Right, Certbot doesn’t work because of an issue with Python, however, it’s easy to generate the certificates elsewhere and inject them into the virtual machine.

> Maybe there's no SSL/TLS library that works on it at all.

There is, but the OS needs to be patched to fix a socket issue (see https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/4086 which was never merged because of side effects). The patch does seem to work for my use case and I had actually the site running on HTTPS, but a few hours later it become unresponsive. I didn’t realize that this was probably just due to the HN DOS. I will give HTTPS another shot later today.
> Yes and no: it's not a blockchain. It's relying on the fact that the drand network is producing distributed, verifiable randomness using a threshold scheme with distributed key generatio

Hm ok, it's just that there is a lot of blockchain terminology used throughout drand like "testnet", "mainnet", "chain" and so on. Seems very similar to a blockchain with similar attack scenarious but I guess it's not exactly a blockchain but somewhat similar?

> Currently it relies on the League of Entropy network, run by Cloudflare, Protocol Labs, Ethereum Foundation, Kudelski Security and other organizations, including multiple universities. So the security is relying on the fact that the network's goal is to produce public randomness, and that parties have no reason to collude. For instance the League of Entropy is used for leader election and randomness by Filecoin, so it's already "securing" a lot of things, adding timelocked data on top seems like a nice way to use the network.

I see so there is a closed group of more or less well known entities which hopefully wont be dishonest to a major degree. Closed group being the key here because that prevents whole range of attacks, most importantly sybil attacks. So the trust in the system derives from the trust into the participants.

Without researching it more I would guess that during encryption it might use the public keys of the nodes plus the round number with the threshold scheme and when the round finally arrives, the nodes then publish their private keys for this round?

I think I have a better idea of the system now. Judging by me being not the only one here who didn't understand how things work on a high level maybe the README could be expanded a bit. That would be great.

Plusaddressing is valid and has been since 1982[1]. It's part of RFC822 and the subsequent RFC2822.

The fact that many websites do not allow + in an email address during validation is a common programming mistake and the sign of an undertrained engineer.

>Less so after you correct for all of the things which we have to pay for out of pocket: health insurance, copays, drugs, etc. but also things like education, childcare, retirement, transportation, and often housing.

You end up paying for those things in other countries where you're provided them but not directly charged for it. The difference is in the USA for most of those if you don't pay you simply don't get the service, while in other countries you get the service but the tax-man may come and put you in jail if you don't pay for them. It's an individual choice but I prefer getting to pick (at least a little bit) how to spend that money personally rather than the government entirely deciding for me, although I can see how someone coming from a place where government does all that would find it uncomfortable.

Think more of a re-encoding than a full re-architecture. Every existing 16/32/64 bit instruction should receive some place in that re-encoded opcode map, including abominations as aaa. But e.g the whole prefix thing should go away. The processor's predecode stage should cease existing.

Let's roughly sketch a proposal, even if many variants are possible

Instructions start on 64 bit boundarys. If the highest bit is 0 you have an insn else a constant. So the whole thing becomes self-synchronizing. You're now of course missing 1 bit, that should get a place in the encoding of a constant.

This means you have 62 bits left. Presuming the prefixes like segment regs get solved, you could encode 2 instructions in there, 1 of them a nop if you need the constant. Do away with short encodings for ax. Try and avoid double encodings uf reg + modrm combos exist. Above all, resist the temptation to mess with the instruction set, just re encode.
also to handle the case of browsers sharing the referrer url, though firefox only shares the domain and noreferrer html and security tags exist as well
To clarify: there's no blockchain involved.
Unfortunately for that line of reasoning, the hourly rate according to the BLS has also been pretty much constant in real $.

Just because he said it in this way doesn't mean you can't think for yourself and realize that it also has a philosophical basis. You are a human. You are capable of your own independent thoughts and conclusions which are as valid as other people's. If you can yourself find ethical reasons to give humans a place to live by default, and I'm sure you can, (because suffering = bad, no home = suffering, true for every human) you just created a philosophical reason for why it might be valid to consider it a human right.
