I don't feel that the guidelines could or would ban entire topics from being published. Do you have any specific topics in mind?
I know about the hREA [0] project, that is itself based on Valueflows [1] specification.

I don't think there is a single metric where quality of life in Germany is better than here in Switzerland. We also barely depend on the Euro. Also as said not all health care systems collapsed, some countries feel the energy issue way less. In these 2 points many poorer countries easily beat Germany right now.

I am not the biggest fan of how the euro zone works. However reality is there are no 'free riders' every piece of land is relevant for the whole puzzle. There is no one sided money rain for poor countries as some people seem to think.
I really dislike how overloaded the term "supply chain" is.

I recently saw a "supply chain attack" on a Web3 company[0] and it turned out it was a contractor pushing malicious code.

I've worked on "code provenance" professionally before[1] which is, apparently, a subset of "supply chain security". Specifically, I worked to help make sure that the code a dev committed was signed by their laptop, up through the CI, through the vuln scanners, and then the artifacts were verified before being deployed.

It was a lot of work and it is it's own entire field (which is what the OP article is talking about).

But now I'm also working on supply chain security[2] because I'm building tech to scan for vulns in dependencies (like NPM) by blocking known malicious packages or just enforcing security policies based on known vulns in them.

How they are all bucketed under the same term, I don't know, and it hurts my soul. We need some better terms for this stuff.

Anybody have any ideas?

About the manner of victory, I make an example from the game of go, which being points based makes this case more straightforward to evaluate. In go it's either win or loss, there is no draw. You can win by one point or by one hundred and you still score only one point in the tournament table. Why is that?

Because if you count to be losing by five points you could either resign (I'm assuming a game between strong players) or start playing more adventurous moves to turn the game around. Adventurous moves usually make for a larger win, let's say fifty points. Should players be punished for that and only play games that minimize the difference between the scores of the players? How boring. I guess this applies also to chess. Sacrifice, sacrifice, win. Or sacrifice, sacrifice, mistake, loss. I won't punish a mistake so much more than any other one.
I'm reading Masters of Doom right now and this actually upset me a bit. Who gets rid of a pet like that?
There are dozens of us!

I don't know much about holochain, but it's in the camp of crypto/blockchain projects that sound almost unreasonably ambitious (Multivac, ICP, Saito, and Mina are in this camp as well), but I'm staying away from because.. there's a significant chance they're scams, or that the people working on them are in over their heads.

One of these might be the real deal (well.. not Multivac or ICP IMO), and actually deliver something amazing, but I'm staying far away from them until I have a strong reason to believe that's the case.. I don't have time to do a deep dive of every project that promises the moon.
Speaking as a person who does have a strong gut reaction against cloud development, I think a lot of the justifications like 'what if I'm on a train' do mask a real desire to say it just feels bad. Public reason.

Is it logically consistent with other things I don't own? Like Chrome, within which all my apps run?

No. But is there something that feels right about having all my code running on the CPU on my lap? Unaccountably, yes.
No, because he wouldn't get any points for beating opponents that much lower than him. There is no such thing as a fractional rating point, so if the points gain gets below 0.5 it just rounds down to zero.
Oversimplification, basically whole article is just about energy prices and health system/insurance as if those were the only differences between Europe and US.

Btw. health system/insurance is still worse in US, but yes, right now energy prices are better in US, but I would still rather live in Europe with higher prices than in US.

How about talking about crime rates, education prices, paid vacation days, maternity leave, air quality, pedestrian/cyclist friendliness, public transport, etc.?
A hardware store timer should solve that problem
Don't these have some kind of basic "oh, I've had no signal for 10 minutes, guess I'll turn off"?

I have two such displays in the office (Nec something) that have input sensing and a shut-down timer. They're pretty old, too (they were already there when I joined 7 years ago).
For real, when they installed some of these ultra bright billboards by the street, I'd get blinded by them as I waited at the traffic light, especially on shorter winter days. The operator claimed they don't run them in the dark, but that was definitely a lie.
Is the macro economic situation in Canada that much different than in the US? For example your point about Chinese production applies to Canada as well.
The article, itself, seems to be fairly hyperbolic, and, quite frankly, hard to take seriously.

We’ll have to see what things look like, after it becomes law (which seems to be happening). It’s entirely possible that it’s toothless. A lot of these types of things are. Politicians like to have them, so they can point to their “accomplishments,” at campaign time, but they don’t actually move the needle.

Ah, I seem to have been waylaid by some of the older mentions there - thanks for the link with mention of M-DOS. I was certain of DEC connections, but thought it came through CP/M and forgot to take into account PDP-10 history of Microsoft.
I don't have a problem with that because the likely workaround for those will be to not be allowed to be on at all. :-}
They already do this with some tests, both online and in person. If it isn't generous enough, it generally harms folks that are being careful with answers while cheaters can cheat. The cheaters just have to be prepared.
If it was up to me I'd just ban outdoor advertising outright
Well, because these people weren't involved in Holochain itself in any way and just looking for decentralized enabling technologies of which HC is but one. They were also people that are just as negative in their view on the blockchain craze as I am myself.
It's actually not since BuildKit could be run as a standalone daemon, and you can run the result via containerd which is a dependency of Docker. Might write a PR over the weekend(s).
> How about all the health care systems that didn't collapse and still don't make people poor.

The article addresses health care. Did you have a rebuttal to its specific points?

> A traditional trump card for Western Europe has been the quality of its health-care systems. But the boasting here is not nearly as justified as it used to be.

> The pandemic revealed years of capital underinvestment in many of European health-care systems. Many Americans used to admire the UK’s National Health Service, but right now the whole system is ailing. There has been a labor and capital shortage, and a collapse of emergency health care services, which may be costing up to 500 excess (non-Covid) deaths a week. Similar problems exist throughout Europe, though they seem to be worst in the UK.

> The American hospital and health care system long has been good — too good — at making expensive, long-term investments in care and technology. Often this meant excess prices and not much of an improvement in basic care. But in the pandemic and post-pandemic environment, that feature of the system has kept US health care up and running. All that capital investment turns out to have been pretty useful in a major crisis.
We've been having one pot since we moved in together. I end up earning more but she's spending a lot of time with our daughter+ ensuring the home is ship shape. We had discussions over years and she still doesn't always feel that the money is ours and not just mine or her. I did speak about this with quite few people amongst friends/family and it looks like one pot system isn't very popular and more often based on shared contribution model, where they would split the bills on rent/food, etc. In our case, I have 100% trust in her not going bananas and buying some expensive stupid shit we don't necessarily need or can afford ( I'm more likely to do so). So it's a balanced and pragmatic approach.
It only stays relevant if the JavaScript is too slow. In the case of removing two elements from an array of length 8, it's not too slow to remove them one by one since, again, it runs in microseconds
You are too deep in "Fantasyland" thinking. Forget about that.

> How "energy independent" is Switzerland? Singapore? The UK?

Exactly, atleast the UK depends on middle east and Russia which funds their murderous regimes. You should be supporting human rights not murdering innocents.

> your people can still survive

Tell that to the people who died from Covid because they could not get masks which were all manufactured in China.

> Try to keep your economy as local as possible and do not over-generalize.

I think you getting confused with your own talking points, in the previous comment you wanted want the US to be served by others and now you are saying keep the economy local.

What I am asking you is to live in reality and not live in fantasy land, you sound exactly like a politician who declares war on drugs. The current globalized world cannot just cannot function with your fantasy 150 people limit.

You getting confused with your own talking points is one the proof that your limit does not work.
Only if he never actually loses one. Which he really shouldn't, but at high numbers the probability of slipping up becomes non-negligible.
I'm not trolling, it legitimately smells/tastes like bleach to me. It's extremely unpleasant. Maybe it's just me.
Bigger problems in Germany are the lack of big power lines between the North and South and of course the reluctance to build more wind energy. Especially Bavaria has been shooting its own feet several times, even built a gas power station a few years back and now it's in a bit of a panic...
This is a cult. Government is implementing micromanaging measure which may reduce energy consumtion by 1%, but on the other hand they do not want to extend the lifetime of nuclear reactors for a few years to help transition, because those 3% that they contribute are not worth it.
At first I loved LED street lights because I could see so much better by them (and I presume that they have an increased deterrent effect on crime though I have not checked this).

These days I think disrupting wildlife is more important than human safety and I wish we could get rid of nearly all street lighting.
Or even better, how many years of maternity leave with welfare you have in US, how much cost kindergarten or university and how much paid vacation and holidays per year you have?

Here in Czechia you will get parental benefit up to 4 years of kid, have 5 weeks of paid vacation, another roughly 10-14 days of paid national holidays and you pay nothing in hospital unless it's ER where it's like 2 or 4 USD fee so people won't go there with things which can wait. University is free and public kindergarten cost roughly 80 USD per month, last mandatory year it's free, you just pay for food roughly 40USD, same in primary school you just pay for food.
They will just cut the power to them.
Father of two teenaged daughters. And still married (against the odds).

Your partner and you are about to morph as significantly as a caterpillar.

Be aware of the fact that you learned how to be a parent in a com-plete-ly different way than she. Different rules, assumptions, roles, implicit and explicit.

This, I think, is part of why many marriages fail after having kids. Both parents feel the absolute burden of being a Good Parent, but both have completely different interpretations of what that means.

Get counseling early. Talk, talk, talk. Check assumptions. Be loving and kind to yourself and her when you are too exhausted to talk. Yes, go to bed angry. Knowing that in the morning you will be rested and able to discuss whatever angred you with a clearer head.

Be aware of the fact that you are becoming butterflies.

Oh, and yes. My brain did turn to mush for the first three years or so. I was a zombie at work.
SMS makes it very hard to be anonymous. Not a good option IMO.
you're saying it was sent to the regulators but it was written as a blog post for popular consumption. I'm countering by saying that whether the regulators are communicated with using a dry, austere style or a theatrical one fit for a blog post should not change the outcome, unless the regulators are culturally biased (toward the dry style) and therefore the sender chose to hit two birds with one stone )both the regulators and blog readers as audience).... that is unless the regulators are culturally biased
Even outdoor lighting is not without problems, especially two recent trends are worrying:

- shift from low-pressure sodium lamps (which emit 95%+ of light in the narrow peak, so are a bit easier to filter out in astronomy application, and also don't trigger blue-light neural response in humans, and animals alike) to LEDs (which pollute across the visible spectrum, with plenty of blue light component);

- as light efficiency increases, people often choose to utilize it to increase lighting intensity within same electric power budget, rather than keep same output in lumens, and save some power.
After the NYT article [0] I purchased (rented) my own domain, created a cloudflare account and started using their email routing to forward all the email to my gmail address. I also configured gmail to allow me to send emails from the new email address.

As I have a small child and use a lot the telemedicine services I do have a fear that I will be blocked soon.

A drawback to this is that cloudflare does not allow you to forward to multiple email addresses.

Power issues in Europe will be big enough going into the winter that the few German nuclear power plants will likely the least of our issues.
Love this idea. Hope you don't mind if I pitch this to our team.
Regarding healthcare and capital investments, the author would do well to read his own publication: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-09/heartland...
From an economic point of view: yes, of course. But from a social point of view:

- I would panic if I have to interact with any American policeman

- There is no federal or state statutory minimum paid vacation. Full-time employees earn on average 10 vacation days after one year of service [1]. So, no thanks

- Estimate of civilian firearms per 100 persons: 120. What the actual fuck? [2]

- No National Health Service

So, basically USA is fine if you have money and you are white (not just any white, but American/European white).

I n NL we have human size billboards that have active cooling for crying out loud. When you walk past them, you hear a loud fan.

Just such a waste of energy. I wish advertising should only be forbidden to use active lighting at all.
Germany was freeriding on Ukraine's blood to get cheap energy ;)

Eurozone allows Germany to freeride as well. Germany makes use of relatively cheap euro, while other countries, who do drag down euro, can't access benefits of crappy state of their economy. And Germany's strong Russian-gas-powered economy keeps euro higher than it should be. Although now it's getting corrected.

Switzerland is a little bit of a special case in many regards.
Hehe, the hacker mentality at work :)

Original author of the BinDiff tool (ca. 2004) here.

BinDiff uses a good number of different algorithms to narrow the set of candidates for CFG-based matching -- so things like identical string references may be used to match a large function, and then basic blocks in that large function may be matched, and then BinDiff may identify that the functions called from these basic blocks will be identical, too.

The entire field has exploded, and there are dozens of tools for function matching nowadays, some with very sophisticated ML approaches etc. - it is somewhat surprising that BinDiff still does it's job, considering that the core engine has not been modified or improved since 2010.

I'd also like to extend kudos to https://twitter.com/admvonschneider -- he is the sole Googler sacrificing his 20% time to keep the tool alive...
The Chinese room never made sense to me because, even though the person passing the arcane symbols through the door doesn't _understand_ what is being communicated doesn't mean that's not how it works in _our_ brain. Our individual neurons (or aggregate neurons depending on how they're working and firing based on symbol triggering) don't know what symbols they're processing either. So unless Searle is saying humans don't know any languages on some fundamental level, it's kind of useless because then we'd just end up admitting (something unsavory) that nobody knows anything barring some homunculus in our brains or even worse, we can never truly have free will. Those are scary implications.

How much electricity can plausibly be saved this way? And how does that compare to the energy required to reprogram and possibly renew all these signs?
UK does not have an open borders Policy licked Germany. It's one of the huge resistance points the drove Brexit.
This has been eluded to by a few other comments already, but I think it's worth stressing: Maybe the problem is that our definition of "cheating" doesn't make sense anymore.

Our methods of teaching come from a worldview in which the information stored in your head is your only resource. That wasn't true in the past where you could consult colleagues, look things up in books or call experts - and it's certainly not true now that everyone carries the entire knowledge of humankind around in their pocket.

So what is the point in artificially creating a test situation where the student is isolated from resources she'll have at her disposal in real life? How about instead, we create (whatever the plural of curriculum is) that teach you how to use these resources efficiently and test you on how well you perform using all the tools that will be at your disposal in your actual job as well?
This looks great. As someone who started learning Nix in the last few weeks this is definitely needed and will prove invaluable to future learners. I'm still completely lost on a lot of things but if I work something out that isn't covered on your site I'll try and put together a PR for it.
You didn't pay 0, you paid in an alternative payment scheme (using taxes). You could argue that it's better for costs to be spread among all taxpayers over time, though.
Have you thought that you can pay for your desired products or services by just mining for them?

Lowering energy consumption is a neat goal, but most of these billboards should be outright banned for many other reasons.
The headline is a bit confusing. Looking at the article, the regulation was written in Germany but is passed by the EU (suggesting this will not only affect Germany but also other EU member countries that implement it?) and it is not just about "digital signage" but all illuminted displays in public spaces that aren't necessary for regulating traffic. So this would likely also affect neon signs and illuminated non-digital billboards.

The part about there being confusion in whether this applies to shop windows likely also is more about whether this applies to LED displays and showcases in shop windows because they're technically not "in a public space" due to being in the shop but would clearly be affected if they weren't.

The headline had me wonder why shops would have to turn off the e-ink displays on shelves indicating the prices of items after 10pm given that most shops that have them (e.g. supermarkets) are closed by that time anyway. The massive LED walls you see in big cities like New York are so rare in most of Germany I didn't think of them when I read "digital signage".
It’s there, and there’s a political divide that has widened in the last 10 years. Social cohesion is holding, and the US provides both a negative and positive point in discussions. As others have posted, the highs aren’t quite as high and the lows aren’t quite as low as our southern neighbour. But we’re doing ok so far. People just have to continue to give a shit about others.
So you agree that humans do not have biological races, but you disagree with guidelines that promote a more accurate terminology?
"This is because you pay only for the infrastructure." It is licensed under AGPL, is there a dual licensing for commercial projects?
I didn't know this was a thing until I met my partner, who has it (and so does her mother), but there is a couple conditions called fissured tongue and geographic tongue ( ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fissured_tongue ) which effectively means that her tongue is a lot more sensitive to salt/pepper/spicy than average. To the point where black/white pepper alone might give the same intensity chilli gives to a "normal" person. There are many reasons for the variance.
You cannot power a country with wind power alone. Even if you want to build wind turbines, you need nuclear, gas, or coal to back them up.

PhotoSync for iOS and Android
I was looking for discussions mentioning this app on HN, but didn’t find any. I am not affiliated with it, just thought I’d bring it to the community’s attention as I have been using for more than a year with my NAS, remotely over SFTP. It is a rare example of a very well thought through application, thoroughly executed: all it does is transfer photos to or from my devices and any thinkable destination. Highly configurable.
It's the same abstraction layer though. The implementation for all three is bound to be different.
There is certainly a lot of value to provide a system that is easy to use for developers from commits to the distribution. There does not seem to be a simple solution to do that.
This has been my experience as well.

What's worse, the French "Maille" variety of mustard is somewhat mild and boring even in France, and getting mustard that tastes like the 'Amora Fine & Forte' (available in almost every grocery store in France) anywhere in the US is damn near impossible.
At a fiver per piece, old dumb and reliable tech, and set and forget, these are by far the easiest solution.
