The intent in question is manifested in Tornado Cash's design, which doesn't pass the malfeasance smell test: you can't absolve yourself of illegality by automating the illegality.

Given that it also has legitimate uses, I think that's a very difficult case to make. Also, with very limited exceptions, nearly all crimes in the US require intent and/or knowing participation. It's a fundamental tenet of our system. There is a reason that they aren't being prosecuted in the US, and those reasons are outlined above. Perhaps Dutch law is different enough to allow a conviction; time will tell.

I'd also point out that Apple's device encryption scheme was specifically designed so that Apple itself cannot unlock devices, which thwarts law enforcement subpoenas for assistance. They can legitimately throw their hands up in the air and say "we have no ability to help you" - and that's by design. It is not illegal to design systems in this way. It just shifts the legal liability for misuse onto the users, where it should be.
Then the Framework just isn't for you. The Framework was designed to be a portable laptop that is also modular and repairable. Apple's design philosophy seems to most closely match yours - only USB-C ports with separate dongles.
It's important to keep in mind that these art communities represent one very narrow kind of art, one that is more focused on illustration and graphical style, and most often not the kind of art that major art institutions work with. In the past 5 years, AI-generated art has been accepted and incorporated in the contemporary art world, with major works produced by luminaries such as Pierre Huyghe (of Ideal), Trevor Paglen (Bloom), and Hito Steyerl (Power Plants). For these artists, the graphical potency of the generated images is usually only one factor of the work, which also centers on how the artists use the technology, its origins, history, and broader uses, and what it might imply.

For this kind of artwork, the kind made by artists who feel threatened by AI, I’ve been thinking for a while that a computer could likely do it better. Intricate detail, repetition, sampling and recombination of popular styles, optimization for aesthetic popularity and mass appeal — these practices are all squarely in the domain of automation, data science, and marketing. We might call it the Netflix-ification of illustration art, but it’s quite different, because the tools for making are available to many. As an arts educator and artist, I welcome these new tools, as they allow easy experimentation for newcomers, but also as they reveal that art based primarily in deployment of technical skill and eye-popping graphics is missing something vital.
It's interesting, because through my readings in linguistics, I got the sense that no language is "objectively" harder than any other, that everything is relative to the other languages you know. A Dutch speaker will learn German potentially more easily than French compared to an English speaker, so how do you judge objectively which language is harder? Nevertheless, an entertaining read! I have heard a good candidate for the hardest natural language is Georgian, due to irregular grammar, long consonant clusters, and difficult script. Not sure how to reconcile the apparent objectively difficult features with the previous claim. I guess in the end difficulty might just be a direct result of number of (relatively) unique features compared to other languages (of which they say Georgian has many)

> Java specification says that NullPointerException would be thrown when we access the null object fields. Does this mean the JVM has to always employ runtime checks for nullity?

Once again, we're talking about how JIT can be faster than AOT, not how to reduce JIT overhead. Those are two different types of optimization. You will never be faster than AOT just by reducing JIT overhead. Both links that were provided talk about JIT overhead alone.

This one talks about internal JVM optimizations. Not about optimizations JIT is capable of doing for your code.

What exactly are we even comparing when talking about NullPointerException? To my knowledge, most AOT-compiled languages don't even have NPE (not in Java sense at least). It's apples to oranges comparison.

I would generally agree that any instance of discrimination by characteristics orthogonal to the performance of a given task is undesirable (if we're striving to optimize total societal benefit / output / productivity).

Attractiveness is another axis of discrimination which is frequently orthogonal to job performance (unless we're talking about jobs as a model, etc).
> So despite the roads having a speed limit of 50 km/h or more, his average speed was less than 16, because of all the traffic lights.

> Incidentally, 16 km/h is the average speed of a cyclist in Amsterdam

Unfortunately this only says that removing traffic lights would drive cars' average speed up and many bikers aren't actually stopping at traffic lights.

Maybe average speed is not that important as a metric and we should not optimize for it.

I would prefer a 15km/h average speed for cars, but to avoid any intersections with other users and flow interruptions: people should not cross streets, they should pass over them on bridges.

Crossroads should not exist, only roundabouts.

Etc.

Anyway, in most of Amsterdam the average speed of cars is between 15 and 30km/h [1], while bikes on average go at 14.9km/h.

I don't necessarily agree with the article (and I don't see it ever being possible to get the world to move back to plaintext email), but the article isn't saying nothing. There are legitimate reasons to want plaintext email. I wouldn't dismiss it in the way you've done. We (HN community) can and should have better discussions than this.
Of course it's a Ponzi scheme since it promotes freeloading.

People without children also expect to receive pension while escaping the effort and time to raise the next generation.

While I do not expect to go for very niche jobs, in part of them being quite heavily location specific, even things that seem dev adjacent do not feel very easy to get into.

As you mentioned, straight out uni funnels seems like one of the best ways to go into niche tech, but even few years back when I tried to go from senior to a junior role in a different space people were skeptical (at that point it was software engineering -> data engineering). I guess they do prefer someone they can train vs someone who comes with their own experience - be it good or bad.
Have you thought about something like a RadRunner https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radrunner-electric-ut... ?

It is an ebike but is pretty cheap (less than 2k Canadian Dollars) and has a passenger seat as well. Also has a throttle so you don't have to exercise at all if you don't want to.
> But on the other hand, those people have been systematically discriminated against, well, forever.

The solution is not to systematically discriminate in another direction, forever.

In addition, you risk political blowback. People who are discriminated against get unhappy, and you have abandoned the high moral ground that racial discrimination is always a bad thing, and you end up in a worse situation than you started.
Your statement (maybe because of a massive pendulum swing in society) in some circles is considered racist, regardless of your motivations.

This is a major difficulty we face today, mass irrationality in society.
It’s really not too bad, but I guess it depends on your use case.

Would be great if they could release a dual USB-A expansion slot though, the bandwidth should not be a problem. Or maybe redesign the expansion slots to be more slim so they could fit 6 in a laptop.
Well of course you do those things but they are still on your time, eating , chilling a bit,personal development (not worl development) are all personal things and you could chat with someone during your chill tile, before and after language class, have lunch/dinner with them,etc.... you can associate with who you want. You can also go wild in gay club for those 8hrs and no one will tell you different those are your choices. For personal development obligations I don't know about you but I don't have to do those for more than at most one or two months total in a year.

Think about it, are you the one that maintains said code?
If so, can you really call that maintainable (as in, reusable, expandable by others while you are on vacation)?
If not, you are a very skilled framework maker. Then other people are using your framework and hence, not reinventing the wheel, which is my point.
The number I gave includes both capital and operational costs.

here is a newer one from Q2 this year https://www.tvo.fi/material/collections/20220713160120/7aj2c...

On the page 8 in the graph you can see the cash costs (operational costs) in blue and capital costs in purple (pink? dunno I'm quite badly color blind). Still with both of those the total costs of all 3 reactors is projected to be sub 40€/MWh. Obviously 40€/MWh is not ideal as the market every now and then is under that but they should be able to cover that during the moments when the price is high (it averages out they hope). Basically as long as the squiggly price line is above the colored solid area at the bottom profit is being made.

Also to the owners of the plant a easily predictable price is more important then the lowest so they can better predict operational costs of their billion euro+ paper pulp factories etc.

This report is based on their financial reporting to their share holders so I doubt they are lying.

You can find more at https://www.tvo.fi/en/index/investors/financialpublications....

edit: The math is quite simple for example 2021

14 414 000 MWh produced at the cost of 19€/MWh and average market price of 72.2€/MWh gets you 1 040 690 800€ of sold electricity at the cost of 273 866 000€ and capital costs of 220 000 000€ (OL3) giving them a profit of (well value made to their share holders who they sold the electricity to at cost of production) 546 824 800€

Not exactly like this as OL1 and OL2 do not have the exact same investor(s) and the split as OL3 but in the ballpark.

Could the investors have made a better profit by putting that 5.5 billion a decade ago in some random index fund or building wind mills? Maybe? But this is the gamble they took and seems to be profitable. Obviously not necessarily the most profitable investment as that is impossible to know at the moment you make the investment.
Seems US estimate may be low. I work in a large US tech company and I get 14 holidays (and we are typically dismissed 3 hrs early on afternoons before holidays, which adds up to another 5 days) and another 3-4 weeks of vacation I choose when to use during the year. I'm typically off about 35-40 business days a year when all taken together.
Seriously. His initial premise is so far off base that the whole article reads like some sort of conservative straw man pretending to be intellectual discourse.

Are there issue with some DEI initiatives? Yes, but they are often minor, and usually due to bureaucratic laziness, not malice against conservatives or white people.

He is butt hurt that reality has a liberal bias, and wants academia to subscribe to his knee-jerk conservative fantasies instead.

He essentially trying to argue that a completely straight, cis, white, male faculty and student body would still be "diverse" because some were poor/rich, some were rural/urban, and some were old/young. Sorry, that's not diversity, it's simply variations on a theme.
> So the question is, where should the fix be applied?

We could start by not forcing them into a school system that is highly correlated with outcomes of criminality[1]. Then we could stop subsidizing dependency and instead ease the paths work, education, and entrepreneurship, e.g. by reducing the cost of compliance by e.g. reducing scope and burdens of licensure requirements, instituting opportunity zones.

I leave as an exercise to the reader considering why the Democrat party does not support the above policies, while the Republican party does.

So torn on this! Thinking back on my best teachers, they had a huge impact on my development and what I thought of school. On the flip side, some teachers made me count the hours every day until I could be done with their class. It won't happen, but it would be pretty interesting to see merit increases tied to this (retention of students, requests to join/leave group, etc.).
The more important an argument is, the less tolerant you should be of that argument being made badly.
In a near future they could easily go for a very simple solution which is to provide expansion cards featuring multiple connectors (or storage etc) at a time.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, as I have no good answer. I do have good periods and bad periods.

Though not massively overweight (26.5 BMI), better eating and fitness habits seemed to have helped. Still working on getting to a healthier shape. Depending on the type of apnea, this can help a good deal.

Less electronics/screens in the evening. No more streaming tv/video games until right before bed. Jury's still out on the effects of blue light etc but I really try to limit my electronics to a Kindle (Oasis with the warm color temp feature) before bed.

I admit I didn't try too hard with different masks/setups, that could help. Though I was mostly using one of the most comfortable "nasal pillow" interfaces already.

I will second another commenter's suggestion of a more elevated pillow setup. I use a regular pillow with a buckwheat hull pillow on top. Bad for my neck but I've slept that way for awhile and have adjusted, it's hard to go back to a "more optimal pillow height".

Why are there only those jobs?
Here are the hourly prices in Denmark, without taxes and other charges which are about 1.6DKK/kWh. If you go forwards and backwards, you can see the price has varied/will vary from about 1kr to 4.5kr, plus tax, or 35¢ to 81¢. Car chargers can be set to charge at the cheap times, and things like dishwashers and washing machines have delay timers for people who want to run them at the cheaper times.

Straightforward day/night electricity rates have existed for decades, hourly rates are more recent, and optional.

100¢/kWh has happened in the last month, but only at a peak period. I'm not sure how long or how often it happened.

1.00DKK = 0.14USD

If you're talking about purely conveying information, tone is largely immaterial.

If you're talking about convincing people, proper tone is a prerequisite to conveying information.

For most communication, tone starts out being infinitely more important that anything you're saying. Once you reach an inflection point, tone is sufficient and correctness can take priority. The inflection point varies based on your audience.

Relatedly, I find that with regards to history, most people have quite a large recency bias. If I ask someone who the greatest actors of all time are, at least half will be within the last several years.

> And frankly I'd rather have the black woman on the team to offer that perspective, especially for product decisions, because they might have interesting things to say.

I'm trying to imagine how this would work in practice but products aren't usually designed by committee in giant brainstorming sessions where everyone gets to provide their opinion from their little expert/experience positions.

That usually happens through research and feedback loops. Being flexible and adapting. It doesn't require having to hire from every demographic and expert group, and putting them directly on your product/engineering teams.

If you're targeting a specific demographic or niche market is typically helps to be from that group or at a minimum be constantly talking to them (ala what Steve Blank talks about endlessly). It also helps with sales/marketing when communicating, etc.

But this stuff doesn't seem like a rule you can apply generally when composing a team or building a company like choosing the right Lego blocks by demographic profile.

It's not like building a team in an RPG video game where you're trying to find the right balance of race/gender/religion/culture.
> saying my job isn't to write code is like saying a surgeon's job is not to fix people up

A surgeon is a perfect example against your argument -- the surgeon's job is to achieve a positive patient outcome, not to cut someone open. Sometimes achieving the first is best done by cutting someone open, but when it is not then it is the surgeon's job to say that a different approach is needed.

The photographer definitely has more agency over what they are shooting than a programmer does over what an algorithm produces. When I take a photo I have a image in my head I am trying to capture; when I train an AI to do the same I don't have that image, its just generating a bunch of images based off an idea and I select the one that is most appealing. I'm sure there are people doing tuning that is much more involved, but at a basic level it's not the same thing. Doing photography or drawing are much more emotionally rewarding than generating images with code, at least for me.
