Your comment reminds me of a topic from "What We Owe The Future"[0][1], in particular an idea in ethics that is aptly called the repugnant conclusion[2].

This is not a perfect parallel but both the RC and your comment touch on the idea of how or when it is justified to make X people's life worse to make Y people's life better.

I would strongly recommend not to take an axiomatic approach to this topic.

Why should SIM registrations map 1:1 with population?

Mayhaps they wish to make it more difficult to use SIMs as a 1:1 personal identifier, requiring authorities and each other to interpret them as handset/endpoint identifiers only, as Zul intended?

Or perhaps third parties are using lax policies in indonesia as a jumping off point for getting into the telecom network?

Or your count isn't taking into account legal fictions as the purchaser of multiple endpoints?

The reasons are myriad.

I bought my wife a Surface Pro X a while back, and once I realized that x86 emulation worked fine but x86_64 wasn’t a thing, I had no issues at all.
note that the overhead will vary a ton based on the number of elements you use. I believe Julia's dicts currently resize to be 4x current size (to avoid hash collisions), so you should see anywhere from 30% extra to 300% extra depending on how many elements you have. There has been some effort recently to move to a more SwissDict-like approach which should reduce the memory overhead.
Elimination diets, whether keto or anything else, put people at heightened risk of subtle micronutrient deficiencies which can cause all sorts of weird symptoms. If you're going to eat only a limited set of foods then take a detailed look at nutrition labels and make sure you're not missing something. Multivitamin pills are mostly useless for people eating normal, healthy diets but can be a convenient way to fill in the gaps for people eating restricted diets.
Another podcast has already been doing deepfake celebrity interviews with ai-written scripts (but with a humorous tone) for a few months:

> How is it fair to those people living in those 3 other cities? Why should they have to put up with it?

Why do I have to pay taxes for schools when I don't have any children?

If everyone thought like this, then we would all be worse off. Yeah, it sucks for you.

Another thought experiment: You are the head of a hospital and can determine how funding gets spent. There is a five year old with a disease that can be cured if you spend all of your budget to do it. This would effectively shut down the hospital for everyone else, but the kid would live. Is it ethical to spend the money on the kid?
Well yeah it's not the case that one can add a single line to connect a completely new destination to an existing rail network and everything will scale perfectly, but I didn't claim that.

And as long as we're talking in abstract we can construct scenarios where one is faster or better. However my read the original comment was that that adding a new connection involves adding new infrastructure, which isn't always true. See the new European overnight routes that opened up post-Covid and which operate on the existing track

I’m a little fuzzy on the details because it’s been a while since I read the story, but I believe it was like other stories I’ve heard, where it’s an old practice that fell to disuse while chasing modernism. It’s coming back now because sea level rise is worsening the effects of monsoon season.

Nah US is too advanced for that, they would rather intercept those communications and send UAV/SWAT teams to directly handle them with accuracy.
If that's your only criteria, the US must be the worst of the lot for ethnically cleansing an entire continent to claim it.

I grew up in the 90s and remember the ecstatic cheering when Bangladesh won its first cricket match. The decisions that led to that genocide were topdown driven by a racist military brass, not ordinary people who were told that all the fighting was against India.

Of course that doesn't excuse the genocide and everyone who partook should be treated no different from a Nazi but you can't lump the entire population in with that.

How do you strengthen democracy against capital if capital accumulation directly results in political power under capitalism? You can't strengthen democracy against capital interests without weakening capitalism. Regulations literally weaken capitalism. Money is power. Democracy aims to distribute power to the people. Capitalism results in the accumulation of money by a few individuals.

If you're arguing we should balance this by reducing the power differential present in money, I'm all for that. But that means providing housing, medical care, food and a dignified quality of life to everyone and democratizing work places so money accumulation becomes largely a status symbol and not an alternative pathway to political power.

* Is Tesla so far ahead of competition that they are all trying to copy their playbook a decade after?

* In a supply constrained environment, can GM pull this off being a late mover?

* GM may have current administration advantage for at least 2 more years over Tesla & foreign companies.

* Are there any late mover advantages GM has here?

* GM is without question a much cheaper investment than TSLA when looking at P/E ratio.

I actually went through a carrier this time because I could trade in my current device for waaaaay more than it's worth. My current phone is neither receiving OS updates nor security updates, and the Pixel 7 gives me five years of security updates and three years of OS updates.
I've had a couple bad therapists and a good therapist.

The good therapist discouraged me from worrying too much about using a drink at the end of the day as a tool to unwind (I was considering quitting alcohol to try to help my anxiety).

Therapy can be great, but it's not a commodity. Success is highly correlated to a strong relationship between patient and therapist, and finding that is very challenging for me and others I've discussed that with.
Even if it isn't in every case sufficient, it is in most cases greatly beneficial to understand what is good for you in order to lead the best life. Sure, you can sometimes hit the mark by dumb accident, but it's a lot easier if you know what you are aiming for than if you are shooting blind, as it were.
10 years? Imagine it 2 years from now. Or even tomorrow, because it's unlikely this is the apex of what's possible now.
This would be fine if not for even the canonical C/C++ compiler on GNU/Linux having issues building older versions of itself without patches, let alone other applications.

As with older Windows binaries on newer Windows versions, when it doesn't work outright, there's always fixes - but that's not the point this subthread tries to discuss.

That is the best case outcome. Given ample real world evidence, however, I think most people will not get to this stage. They will be angry, yes, but at you for trying to introduce facts into their reality.

I guess we have different ideas for "fighting tooth and nail".

- Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt would regularly discuss matters together.

- They have pretty solid "do not poach" agreements.

- None of them actively blocks their products from running on each other platforms

- None of them launch products with the sole intent of destroying each others cash cow. E.g, Google could release flagship products at budget prices forever, just to take from Apple's market share. They certainly wouldn't lose money over it. Why don't they do it?

Competition? Ok, but it never comes to the point where they actually want to inflict damage on one another. This is as friendly as it gets.

Not true, it gives them the ability to remove them from a situation and deposit them somewhere more appropriate for their needs.
Over the years I've found I'm an emotional drinker. If I'm tired or having a bad day getting drunk will make my forget about it. If I've had a wonderful day getting drunk will carry that enthusiasm into the night. I haven't permanently quit but told myself I'd take a year off to see if I could do it, I liked this approach because thinking about _never_ drinking again seemed unachievable. 3 weeks left and no desire to start drinking again.

Something that I found really effective was quitting caffeine the same day I stopped drinking. I went from drinking 6+ drinks most nights and 6-7 cups of coffee a day to nothing. First three weeks were terrible, drank 6-8 cups of strong chamomile tea throughout the day to help curb anxiety, kept candy around to deal with the sugar cravings. Throughout the year when I would get a craving to drink I'd have a coffee or energy drink and that usually altered my mood enough to satisfy the craving for a drink. Hard part there is not to allow caffeine to become a daily habit and keep it as a break glass. Around 5-6 months I found there was a big jump in mental clarity, after 10 months I hardly think about drinking.

Around the same time I quit I started getting up at 5am instead of 9am, I'm not very productive in the morning, some days I get some exercise or chores in but most days I just sit around on my phone until I start working around 8 or 9(phone addiction is my next vice to work on). This allows me to fall asleep by 10 and prevent the late night boredom which often lead to drinking. Having a fitness goal will help and you'll see how much easier it is to achieve without being hungover most of the week.

For social events I show up an hour or two late. By this point people have a few drinks in them and there's less pressure to drink to get conversation going since the work is done for you. Not perfect but it helps.
That would be handy, but that's not the case here since it only deforms under high heat/pressure, not in normal room temperature conditions.
Have you considered modernizing it in Rust or Go? I also hate that most operating systems doesn't have a community maintained package for it.
SOC2 is a joke and pen testers usually do a terrible job. Almost all of SOC2 has nothing to do with whether you built secure software. It seems like pen testers usually just run standard scanners, report all the false positives, and then call the job done. If your software team has been writing millions of lines of code for years, how can you expect someone to find actual security issues in something they have never seen before in just days or weeks?
Show HN: I built a bot that lets you generate AI art without leaving Twitter
Hey HN

I've been building Super Prompts [1]. It's a place for AI artists to share and organise their work. I noticed that lots of artists post their work primarily on Twitter and there's no easy way to see all their work in one place. Whenever I'd ask to see all their work they'd either sheepishly point me to their Twitter "Media" tab or I'd have to comb through 5 different NFT platforms and aggregate it myself. I built a little tool called "/publish" that lets you create a gallery for your AI art without leaving Twitter. You just reply to a tweet containing your artwork with "/publish @superprompts" and we add it to your gallery.

Now I've built a fun little tool that lets you generate AI art with Stable Diffusion without leaving Twitter. You can tweet "/generate @superprompts" followed by your prompt, and we'll generate the art, publish it to Super Prompts, and reply to your tweet with your creation. It's completely free but it does require you to sign up on Super Prompts and verify your Twitter first.

I'm using Google Cloud Functions to check for new Twitter mentions every minute and handle accordingly. To generate the art I'm using Replicate [2]. They provide an API to run machine learning models in the cloud.

Would love to know what you think.

How did Linus convince hordes of people of contributing to his kernel, his trademark, for free? The official repo is under his personal account at github.com/torvalds/linux

And regular for profit companies aren't incompatible with Linux. Canonical, Red Hat, etc. make billions from open source.

Let me stress this again: the only reason the Linux desktop sucks is organizational. Not monetary, not technological. Linux would be a niche project today if Linus had been replaced by a committee or other loose organization. The Linux kernel is successful because there is a person at the top saying "No."

The Linux desktop has no such thing. None of the singular desktop environment have such a thing. GNOME has no BDFL, nor does KDE. So its endless bikeshedding and churning and going nowhere.
I've been trying to figure out options for 100% robust protection against CSRF for late 2022 (without using csrftokens in requests, which are tried and tested but are a little bit cludgy to build and use).

It's proving surprisingly difficult to research. Here are my notes so far: https://github.com/simonw/public-notes/issues/2

SameSite=Lax is almost but not quite the answer I'm looking for, for a couple of reasons:

- It doesn't protect against attacks from subdomains, since they can trigger requests that use existing Lax cookies. This is a problem because I can never be sure that a future decision won't be made to CNAME helpdesk.mysite.com over to some third party vendor who might themselves have security holes that enable XSS attacks to run against my domain

- SameSite cookie support is at 95.75% global usage. That's not 100% yet. Where security is concerned, I care about that 4.25% of users. https://caniuse.com/same-site-cookie-attribute

I use Dvorak, although I regret the choice to learn it instead of Qwerty. If you don’t remap, and I don’t, then you need to use two hands instead of one to navigate. Not a dealbreaker for me though, since by coincidence the places hjkl ended up on Dvorak that makes navigating with them tolerable.

There are two ways to price carbon from the government point of view.

One of them is a pure carbon tax on all carbon emitting sources, which is regressive: it will affect poorer people more while affluent people can just conveniently pay more to emit the CO2 they need.

The other way is by specifically increasing taxes on income and wealth and using that money to invest in decarbonisation - for the most part by making solar, wind (and in some cases nuclear) cheaper, which eventually makes carbon more expensive in relative terms.

Governments these days tend to focus on the second way, either because it's progressive and therefore perceived as fairer, or because they see the alternative as political suicide (Macron's Gillet Jaunes appeared because of a proposed carbon tax on petrol)
100% agree with your comment. Culture makes the people and the people make the culture.

My point is more that the feedback loop is something that was put in place generations ago and most people are just stuck in it. We should pity such people, not despise them.

I feel called out right down to the gin and sodas from noon until 2am and burning down a handle of rye.
And there is quantum mechanics, where the greatest critics were also the greatest supporters and the ones that created most of it.
Concisely said.
I'm not sure you realize how big the middle class is. Ideally, most air travel would be out of reach for most people and wealth would be fairly redistributed. This would however devastate economies heavily reliant on tourism and have a lot of other secondary effects, making it realistically impossible to do. There are no easy solutions here.
Yeah, so what my "problem" is is that in the code

item := item
item := item

the two lines doing different things even though looking exactly the same.

I'm a Scala dev and in Scala we have a similar thing, where a new import or definition in the middle of the code can change line semantics between two equal lines.

But the difference is that this is not a mistake but a concious design to switch "contexts" and is heavily guarded by the typesystem, where GOs typesystem is incredibly weak in comparison, which is not an inherent drawback, but here it is.

I do feel that I'll stick to my feelings that this design is confusing and should have been avoided from the beginning. Ku
udos to the go team for breaking compatibility here. This is necessary for a language to not become another COBOL.
Probably for the best. The amount of extra energy we'd spend moving all the rail freight to trucks just so we could run good passenger service would be a net loss. Europe does have better passenger service, but is it really better for the environment?
> Decarbonizing short haul flights is great, but wouldn't trains be better suited for this purpose? Especially if you consider the extra infrastructure that needs to be built at airports which will be served by these airships - concrete production also generates a lot of CO2...

In terms of infrastructure wouldn't building railways, rail stations, and trains use a lot more resources and time?
I do not really want to comment on whether it is an appropriate use, but obviously the tormented peasants in the comment are implied to be the residents in the area.

WebSocket as Message Broker
I was recently thinking that not many officially talk about WebSocket this way. When you have a WebSocket API and you follow some subprotocol like STOMP, your WebSocket basically becomes a message broker where you can subscribe/unsubscribe for certain messages only.

what do you think?
This rings true to my experience. I found recently that I was having really bad 2 day "hangovers": I was fine in the morning, but weird stomach ache in the afternoon and feeling like complete shit from there into the evening.

I thought it was just "I'm getting old and drinking a lot, this is normal", but it sounds like withdrawal symptoms are more accurate.
More than anything being able to host it myself in a container, but also syncing a lightweight SQLite DB to cloud storage is great. It is incredibly fast which I like. It isn't my ideal tool but so far my ideal tool doesn't exist.
I can only hope that part of the plunge was the result of people like me departing due to Patreon's warm embrace of coporate censorship. But yeah, probably not much of a factor.
Passwords for websites are (hopefully) hashed locally. And more importantly, how does it make a difference whether you or the password manager types in the password into the web form?
does that apply to used books, or just new? i think (?) the target for this website is used because there is a fixed price for newly published books. (however sometimes big box stores will mark them down or run a sale)
not an expert but could be that you're eating too much sugar before fasting, or entering ketogenesis (it goes away if that's the case)
It’s not so hard with protein powder. My powder would give me 100g protein in 440 calories.

That leaves just over 1000 calories to eat nutrient dense foods like broccoli and foods that bring even more protein.

(Just for fun, 1000cal of kale/broccoli aka 3kg fills all nutrient bars in cronometer except b12 and d3 and it has 70-90g protein)

Though i’m also not very convinced that we need nearly as much protein as broscientists think. If you aren’t jacked and you can’t grow on 100g protein per day at 200lbs, you aren’t covering enough of your max effort at the gym. Most people make that mistake and do grow no matter how much protein their ingest.

Even nuclear fusion doesn't produce helium in large amounts; a large fusion plant would produce about 2000 liters / day, meaning you'd need 136 years worth of output from one station to fill a single airlander airship.

The criminalization of the unhoused, as well as the policies that create unhoused people go far beyond private prisons.

As Ruth Gilmore and other abolitionists have meticulously detailed over decades, governments on all levels have helped build a system in which enormous flows of money exist to unhouse, cage and ultimately diminish the lives of thousands of people in the united states.
