I am only little surprised that it works; after all, compiling a program for two platforms results in a mostly equivalent control flow graphs, except for optimizations and different code gen strategies (*); and of course platform specific stuff (but that was probably already abstracted for such a project back then).

BUT I was very (pleasantly) surprised someone did go through the effort of implementing this and made it available for everyone as FOSS <3

(*, rant) I think inlining and tail call optimizations (especially calls into libc or the equivalent of the era) might cause the most trouble. Also loop generation can have subtle differences reflected in the CFG (not only loop unrolling, but also transforming a while-loop into a do-while-loop causes differences in the CFGs). Back then I'd also expect compilers not always perform equally well for "simple" things like dead code elimination. I wish I had the time to check out bindiff in detail, it's really interesting (personal bias: In the past I did work on static code analysis and had a supporting role in a compiler dev team).

The author of this comment piece seems to boast about America's "energy independence". There's more to energy independence than reliance on other nations. If your network is so terribly managed that a bit of unexpected cold shuts down the whole state, you're not independent. And don't forget lots of Americans live in states where they rely on heating and cooling for most of the year just to survive.

And then the over-reliance on cars to do just about anything means that your citizens are at the mercy of reliable fuel distribution. Walkable and cyclable cities and effective public transportation is as important for energy independence.

> Another commenter mentioned this coming off as a weird article. I think it comes off as just plain arrogant. Pointing to Europe that has suffered from the pandemic, and now suffering from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and going "Now the US is doing better than Europe". It's a pretty disgusting attitude to have.

As a european, a lot of european „suffering“ was brought by ourselves.

Pandemic especially hard on regions that shifted from industry to service to tourism economy. Which, as it turns out, is super fragile.

Russian invasion is the result of several european states being buddy-buddy with Russia bankrolling it's war machine even after Georgia and Crimea.

Energy crisis is mostly because of stupid anti-nuclear stance. Which is only our own fault. Well, and our corrupt politicians. But it's we the voters who didn't keep them accountable.

We're also quickly going down the same neoliberalism drain as US with marketising everything. We're going to loose euro advantages while getting US disadvantages.
The editorial is arguing that Americans are in a better place because they can continue to drive their cars as much as they want/need to, which is odd since having to drive everywhere is one of the worst things about living in the US.

> the bill pretextually claims to protect children, but it will change the Internet for EVERYONE. In order to determine who is a child, websites and apps will have to authenticate the age of ALL consumers before they can use the service. NO ONE WANTS THIS. It will erect barriers to roaming around the Internet. Bye bye casual browsing. To do the authentication, businesses will be forced to collect personal information they don’t want to collect and consumers don’t want to give, and that data collection creates extra privacy and security risks for everyone. Furthermore, age authentication usually also requires identity authentication, and that will end anonymous/unattributed online activity.

Looking at their site, privacy.com doesn't seem to handle 3DSecure or any other DSP2 level of authentication. Has anyone recently succeeded making payments with that in the EU ?

Of course if you give your actual credit card number/CVV etc. but with a fake name it will get refused by your issuer.
Actually Apple had to find solutions to some of the problems you mention when they transitioned to OS X:

* multiple resource forks can be presented as files in a directory, the directory having the name of the multi-stream file and the files in it named after the stream, e.g. "resources"

* for transfering data to other mediums/computers etc you can use container formats such as zip or tar, but with the unpacker having the ability to unpack them properly to a multi-stream file

* since on modern systems such as windows you can seamlessly file-browse into container formats such as zip so this is even less of a problem

* actually OS X to this day uses something like this for "Apps" as they are a special container/directory that you can browse into when you know the magic incantation

As the charging time for EV batteries has gone down dramatically ( currently fast charging to 80% capacity in 20-30 minutes), there is no need to have such big batteries anymore. They could be reduced in half for many use cases.

In addition, the motors are often way too powerful and can be made smaller.

And then if there would be further issues with cost, the size of the car could easily be reduced. It's quite ridiculous to make big SUV's which don't fit more people and load than a more traditional car. It will regulate itself, based on cost of raw materials. And hopefully governments will at least provide incentives to steer it towards smaller cars (for example more tax on big and heavy vehicles).

The subsidies do not change the cost of the car for the buyer. With subsidies, it just allows the car manufacturers to charge a higher price. If the subsidies would be taken away, the car manufacturers would decrease their prices.

LOL have you ever had the fortune of dealing with these "excellent graduates" in offshoring projects? As soon as you go one tiny step beyond what they were taught in "university" shit gets nasty. Applying abstract knowledge to a specific use case is what is important in IT, and those who never had to actually understand the topic fail miserably.

on the energy front Cowen is without a doubt right. But on the other fronts health(care), violence, crime, deaths of despair (opioids, mental health etc) the US still has huge, unique problems. Cowen's typical gloating seems unjustified given that the US has a life expectancy lower than Cuba. That's just a stat that you can't argue around.

Just from personal experience in some large American cities the level of homelesness and precarity, crime etc is quite stark. Even Eastern European countries with significant lower nominal purchasing power or wealth seem more livable by comparison.

Yes. If you want to scam, then smart thing to do is avoid the term "blockchain" or explicitly mention you are not blockchain.

A Unix-WINE for Plan 9, so we could run legacy Linux apps on a more modern OS.

And never forget: Plan 9 was just a stage and not the end of the developmental line. That was Inferno.

Plan 9 abstracts the network away into the filesystem.

Inferno does all that too and abstracts away CPU architectures as well, so the same compiled binary runs on x86 and ARM and RISC-V and whatever you happen to have.
My theory is that we need better learning resources (that’s why I’m working on https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/), better tooling (debugging or starting a project from scratch is hard), better integration with rust/js/etc. projects based on convention (and not configuration: I shouldn’t have to point to more than a Cargo.toml or package.json and nix should do the rest)
This will chiefly affect commercial billboards and the like, which should not be even allowed to ever emit light (or exist) IMNSHO.

1. That's not a use-case for holochain.

2. I mean yeah, I don't really think that's a good thing. I think there's a whole world of middle ground between "tracing everybody's transactions in the open all the time" and "complete, mathematical privacy forever". Personally I think things should be discoverable with an appropriate warrant, for example.

I also don't consider freedom of speech and financial privacy to be equivalent, "criminals" are only a small part of the problem there. Financial privacy in the way proponents seem to want allows everything from total tax evasion to the rich outright buying politicians. However much you think lobbying is bad, and political funding is bad, it could only make it far, far worse.
Why Europe’s Electricity Prices Are Soaring

This kind of exists in Norway in the sense that we have at least two systems for communicating with government offices and, to some degree other organizations and people (haven't quite figured that out). This isn't an email solution as such though.

The thing is, all of these solutions are much maligned - despite being a lot better than what we had before (send/receive paper). If the state were to offer email accounts, people would complain about how bad they were (whether true or not) and argue that we should "let the market sort it out".

Which brings us to where we are now. With the market "sorting it out".

Ever wonder why in America we live to work and in Europe they work to live?

The entire system in the United States is designed (by our corporate overlords, who effectively make the laws) to make the people on the lower decks of the Titanic not get too comfortable. We overcompensate to overcome the artificially erected barriers, and we overachieve. Not because we want to, but because we have no choice.

Why does Jane respond to Slack messages after 8PM and why does she check work emails on a Sunday night? No, not because of her superior American work ethic. Because Jane needs to outperform another workaholic, Steve, just by enough not to lose her job. Because if Jane loses her job, she also loses her health insurance. Jane risks being financially ruined if she slips in an unfortunate way or her appendix bursts.

This is also, interestingly, the reason Jane cannot start her own business. Being untethered from the employer-provided safety net bares too much of a risk.

Jane needs to get up every morning and go to work. While on a bus, she will probably be checking social media, where some spoiled brat will complain about their life, how everyone is out to get them, and how maybe people like Jane should WORK HARDER.

> The distinction of what belongs to telecoms and what belongs to the Internet is only due to how the technologies have evolved.

True. But it is also a fact that telecom networks inside a country offer better privacy and better protect democratic rights (in a democratic country) than some foreign powered network like the internet - if Google or Facebook misuse my data, I have less recourse to complain about them with the law than against a telecom company who have to follow stricter laws and regulations.

> You should have more privacy and have more control over your identity than what the legacy telecom setup allows.

This is again a disingenuous argument when it is a fact that telecom companies in democratic countries better protect your privacy because they are legally mandated to. In a democratic setup, the government requiring identity documents or logging 6 months of CDR are completely acceptable (and necessary) compromises as your rights are safeguarded in a democracy. Foreign BigTechs have no such obligations to us and even misuse the trust some people place in them to be truly abusive in violating a users data by invasively collecting vast amounts of data that they feel they are free to exploit in any manner. (E.g. WhatsApp's New Privacy Policy Shares Sensitive Data With Facebook, Forces Users Into Agreement By Providing Mirage Of Choice: Delhi HC - https://www.livelaw.in/news-updates/delhi-high-court-whatsap... ).
