You didn't look anything up. You're just wrong, so you came up with a story instead, and tried to move the goalposts to something like the FTC's "Made in the USA" qualifications - which I wasn't arguing. What are the two largest sectors of US manufacturing?

Most of the furniture in my house was made in the US, because I'm not poor. Furniture is one of the easiest things to buy American. Good furniture is not cheap but it's not out of reach for the middle class either.

The materials your house was constructed from were mostly made in the US: lumber doesn't come directly from the earth nor does sheetrock or siding etc. These materials are manufactured.

Most of the books in my house were printed and bound in the US from paper made in US papermills.

Most of my appliances were, as you are careful to point out, assembled in the US. All of the large appliances were.

Almost all of the food in my pantry, refrigerator, and freezer that is in boxes, cans, or jars was processed and packaged in the US: that is manufacturing. If you don't think that's hard work, you should try it.

If you have any medications in your house, they were very probably made in the US. The gas in your car was almost certainly refined in the US. Your shampoo and deodorant and other personal care items, unless you deliberately buy imported, were made in the USA.

The important part that makes my computer work was made in the US, and yours probably was too. Some other bits also. That is very high tech, capital intensive manufacturing, high value-add, and while Taiwan is basically caught up, the US is still very competitive.

Sorry about your employer's poorly implemented global supply chain fiasco, which pretty much identifies it even to people outside your industry. But it's not the whole story of US industry.

I run VSCode (on Linux) on a number of different low- to mid-end machines between a 5 and 10 years old and it starts within 2-3 seconds on all of them. New windows/tabs open basically instantly. I ran it once on a Raspberry Pi just for fun and even then it was entirely bearable.

I can only imagine you are loading a bunch of extensions, or maybe one or two extremely heavy ones. It's never anywhere near as snappy as plain Vim, of course. And I am not easy to please nor a fan of Electron apps in general but VSCode has been fairly tolerable for me over the years.

I run a free browser game where you can start playing immediately, no registration required. The game has a big sandbox element where you can build and paint on the world map.

Naturally I've attracted trolls doing everything in their power to grief and ruin it for other players. This has lead me to reluctantly implement moderation tools such as IP bans and proxy detection.

I'm currently using a couple of services where I can supply an IP and get a risk score back but I'm worried about false positives. I'm afraid this initiative, while great for privacy, will make my defense measures futile.

What should I do? I just want to run a game with as few intrusive barriers as possible. I have no interest in collecting any private data from users whatsoever.
I've no idea of economics. But I lived in a country where for a decade we had deflation. Let me tell you: not a good thing! At the beginning, seems good, each time you buy something, is cheaper as before... but that has the down side: people start to speculate: they do not buy what they need, they wait until the very last moment. Moreover, the money in the bank, is a good thing, each time it is more value... so "don't spend". May seem a little thing, but when the whole economy goes in that train, it starts to stop everything, which in turn makes more deflation... you get the idea.

It was explained to me, at that time, that a little bit of inflation is a good thing, and keeps the wheel turning.

Maybe somebody who really knows about economics may laugh...
What motivates you to write a comment like this?

That's an honest question, like in your nihilistic worldview where humanity going extinct is no big deal, what drives you to do your every day things?

If you could prevent humanity from going extinct by pressing a button, would you do it?

If you could cause humanity to go extinct by pressing a button, would you do it?

What do you care about, and why?
Oh, I didn't really read it as a critique; mostly just the phrasing of "giving another commercial advantage" made me want to comment since it can be read as if that's the (or even just a) purpose of the rule.
Taiwan's government the Republic of China has run its island for longer than the People's Republic of China has even existed. At the inception of the PRC it supplanted the ROC as the rulers of mainland China and pushed the ROC back to Taiwan.

Election in Taiwan are conducted by the world acknowledged government of Taiwan according to the wishes of the government and its people, which has been in continuous operation for 110 years.

The fact that China asserts that its conquest of mainland China ought to have also given them Taiwan is irrelevant because it is counterfactual. They failed and this failure created the sovereign nation of Taiwan something that virtually everyone including China knows is an actual thing.

Meanwhile in Ukraine there was never a lawful right for a bunch of thugs to declare independence from their parent country and the offensive launched to create such is rapidly falling apart.
I said "a VPN service fronted by a data thieving company" and I misspoke - I should have said "backed" instead of "fronted."

AFAIK Cloudflare isn't a data thief (yet). If (when) they decide to be, they will have access to quite a lot at the rate they are going. At this point, how can we trust that any public company won't eventually monetize user data?

It's very interesting to see an in-the-wild example of a security flaw in the wireless pairing of a class C medical device (i.e. a device that can severely injure or kill). Would love to see technical details about the specific flaw here.

Just spending a few minutes searching around I found this interesting reverse engineering work on the Contour Next Link 2.4 USB dongle: https://github.com/szpaku80/reverse-engineering-contour-next...

It looks like it's implementing 802.15.4 (the basis for ZigBee among other protocols).

The user manual for the Contour Next Link 2.4 device (https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/sites/default/files/librar...) shows that pairing can be initiated by the USB dongle and succeeds if the user confirms the request on the device. A serial number is displayed but that appears to be under the control of the hypothetical attacker. So the user must know to reject an unexpected request even if it has the right serial number, or the attacker will gain control of their pump and can issue a remote bolus command.

This example doesn't have to do with Bluetooth but there's an interesting connection there because most BLE pairing methods have been shown to be insecure to sniffing attacks. That imposes constraints on how medical devices that need Bluetooth connectivity are designed, because it may force a device to have a screen for showing a pairing code when it otherwise would not need one.
Let me make sure I've got this right. Russia is annexing these four regions. (I presume the "regions" have formal boundaries, like a US state or a UK county.) Russia is annexing them because they voted to be annexed. But Russia doesn't currently control all of those regions, so the rest have to be "liberated".

But the parts of the regions that Ukraine control didn't vote to join Russia.

Emphatic agreement. I was doing CAD & GIS in the 80s. We certainly foresaw this stuff. Even so, I'm just gobsmacked by the number and quality of all the map & GIS systems.
Just in case you didn't recognize the reference - an early Facebook cultural motto is the phrase "move fast and break things" - a tradeoff favoring product development iteration speed over stable infrastructure.

Facebook would then change their motto in 2014 to "move fast with stable infrastructure" [0] - don't know how well that's worked out for them since.

OOP is considerably older than '90s. Turbo Pascal 5.5 had objects in 1989 and was far from the first.

Anyway structs plus FP is no less object oriented. You just don't have to write the methods in the same code module. See NIM Method Call Syntax for example: https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut2.html#object-oriented-programm...

Yes, I know NIM is not purely functional. Use F# instead to get a bit closer to purity, it also does OOP quite nicely as does pretty much any functional language that has closures.

OOP is a tool just as Git is a tool.

The Neovim API is more fully baked now than it was.

> I think there is a lot of blaming going on here against homeowners who really didn’t know better.

Anyone who is keeping up on climate change research and anyone with any sense knows it's just not wise to invest in property on the Florida coast unless you do so knowing that at anytime your home could be washed away.

You have to be willfully ignorant to think it's a good idea to move to those areas.

I can see why you would want to move closer to family, but did you really not believe that the Fort Myers area could be destroyed at anytime from a major hurricane? Do you really think that sea level rise (which is more about its impact on storm surges) coupled with increasingly more powerful hurricanes is not a problem in the near term? Are you unaware that GHGs in the atmosphere are accelerating, there is no evidence that warming will stop soon, and plenty to suggest that things will increasingly get worse in the near term?
I mean, it essentially is available though, "from functools import partial". I just have never seen any examples other than the perfunctory useless math ones:

mult_10 = partial(mult, 10)
mult_10_20 = partial(mult_10, 20)
print(mult_10_20(30))

The only context I can think of off the top of my head where currying might be useful is binding a "this" or "self" object, but, if I'm using a class I already get that. Maybe you could use it to pass through some set of context objects, but then, you could already do that by just creating a data structure to hold those objects.

Wow. So, we would have a control input for the model for correlating chirps, where mics and thermometers around a field could measure chirp frequency against a baseline of temperature. Next question would be whether crickets migrate toward the chirp-signaled higher temperatures, and whether they submit to signalled chirps or trust their own in their migration decisions. Sound is just relatively low frequency data, and a field of crickets would give a uniquely large sample signal data set.

> Literally in the next paragraph it invalidates your point

How so? The quote you just pasted includes what I already quoted - specifically that the IRS does not receive details on individual transactions. Here's another article that explores this and the common misrepresentation of the proposal as well [0].

Your bank already tracks your purchases. They must do so to know how much money you have now, and how much you'll have after you make a purchase. That would not change. They also cannot see what you do with your cash - that will also not change.

The thing that seems new (and again, still potentially concerning, but also potentially reasonable), is that gross totals will be shared.

> It is exactly tracking purchases. Whether it's disguised as "tax data" or "purchases" the fact is they know it. Splitting hairs is exactly what they want you to do to distract you from yet another incursion into our right to privacy.

Given two scenarios, one in which a full list of your individual transactions are sent to the IRS, and one in which aggregate inflow/outflow data is provided to the IRS, are you really arguing that these are the same, or that distinguishing between them is splitting hairs? Another framing would be that this is looking for an accurate representation of what's actually going on.

How would you distinguish some hypothetical future policy that involves actually tracking/sending individual purchases from this one that does not do such a thing?

But this all feels like a conversation of dubious value since we're discussing an article that talks about a proposal that hadn't yet been finalized at the time of writing.

I'm not saying there aren't things to ask questions about there, but I am saying that getting the details right matters.

Or possibly even salt_hmac(mnemonic)@domain, to both make the address un-brute-forceable and also cover businesses going "why are we emailing business@yourdomain" and potentially getting huffy (apparently this happens?!).

Only potential issue is that if it's a real HMAC like HMAC-MD5[:16] the nonsense address might give spam middleboxen very bad indigestion.

Or maybe the crazy service addresses used in cloud infrastructure have actually inoculated everything to a reasonable extent and this might work?

"the open Internet" in theory should be good for local newspapers because it enables fast easy(ish) efficient publishing but the fact that it also enables fast easy efficient copying kills existing models of monetization.

The fundamental problem is that copying digital media is so easy that it breaks the intuitive publishing model reliant on physical possession of any media inherently acting as license to access that media.
I have my own domain and operate my own email server with rule-based localparts filtering (basically regex-based whitelists and blacklists, plus automatic sorting into different mail folders based on localparts). I use a different localpart for each online shop and each service/social account/mailing list I’m registered with.

There are email providers that let you use your own domain (i.e. you don’t need to operate your own email server) with any number of localparts, i.e. a catch-all (without needing to use “+”), and which usually also allow you to set up filtering rules, and let you auto-forward to a different email address (e.g. GMail) if you like. You can then use whatever@yourdomain at your whim, without having to first register the localparts you use.

It is absolutely not “calcified melancholy”. My father is a deeply religious man, has a degree in chemical engineering from MIT, was a professor of Hematology for 40 years, and was incredibly highly respected by everyone who knew him, and in particular by his church community. He studied Latin as a child, is an avid bird watcher, and has lived an extraordinarily happy, meaningful, and impactful life. His has been a life of service and of joy. I’m afraid that rich lives like his are becoming a thing of the past.

Humans need shelter and jobs too. If you got an AI down to the energy requirements of a human that's not enough to avoid needing one. Especially if it's influencing the real world - entropy exists and all real world things cost money.

That's undoubtedly true, but you'll also get a lot of assholes and script kiddies hoping to pwn your site for lulz, and they often don't care who gets hurt along the way. By posting you've just given them an easy legal defense. If it were me, I wouldn't do it. Not worth the risk.

"I sympathize with the victims of Hurricane Sandy and believe that those who purchased flood insurance should have their claims paid.
