The EU legislation didn't create the incentives to collect the data. The EU legislation did inform companies of community expectations, which the companies proceeded to ignore.

It also is one of the (potential) bases for laws regarding self-driving vehicles/robots/drones.

Because law builds on precedent. And it can be argued that self-driving vehicles are a bit like an animal (has a "mind" of its own, but has a human owner responsible for it).

As a nudist I find it increasingly frustrating battling all these well-meaning impediments every firm seems to be throwing up everywhere for the sake of combating pornography.

Latest discovery is that iOS’s new “press to copy person” doesn’t work if the person is undressed, which makes sense if they’re trying to ensure it doesn’t facilitate copy-and-paste porn of the lowest calibre but… sheesh.

I don’t understand why so much effort gets sunk into this arms race between people who want to distribute material featuring naked humans and firms that are doing their darnest to make it impossible.

That depends on the runtime. Some runtimes like wasmtime support both JIT and AOT compilation.

And for places where you can't use JIT compilation (like iOS... - which is where most of the users/developers of our app were) there are interpreters like wasm3.

The ESG push of the last 5+ years was rooted in good reasons. But the approach was wrong. In finance, ESG metrics are just factors like value, growth, momentum, etc... Those factors need to explain risk vs returns. The issue is they never did. There was never any explanatory power behind these things. Even the massive backing by asset managers like Blackrock was not sufficient enough to create demand because ESG factors were all over the place: 20 different providers with 20 different BS methodologies - mostly driven by NLP-style approach to parsing quarterly reports. Ultimately you throw in some nice words and greenwash the heck out of your report and your ESG metrics go up.

The free and open market approach prevails. And if we want to see ESG impact the world around us, we should have the free market dictate how that happens rather than Larry Fink.

I think trying to move away from images is a good idea, so people can showcase their worth to better compete with the physical gifted people who benefit from images.

I thought of a idea where you have to have a reel 10second video showcasing 5 traits

Let's say, you see the list of options and choose

Cooking
Humour
Adventure
Intellect
Strength

Say those are your traits, your reel will show case them. With the aim of creating relationships rather than hook ups.
> Are you suggesting that Bumble should allow users to send unsolicited nudes to strangers, despite the vast majority of women not appreciating that? Why would any company want to intentionally degrade the experience of roughly half their users?

Why must it be one or the other? They could have a per-user flag to opt in to unsolicited nudes.

Even better, a more fine grained series of flags or enums indicating the level of nudity, topless, bottomless, or even background scenery (to be able to filter out, or in, public nudity).
There is nothing arbitrary to labour laws. You are an employee of a company and that gives you certain rights.

benefit != convenience

for some at least, and it was a goal in the first two decades of the Linux kernel community

TL;DR: LLVM and Clang allow non-free (proprietary) extensions

The Clang and LLVM developers reach different conclusions from ours
because they do not share our values and goals. They object to the
measures we have taken to defend freedom because they see the
inconvenience of them and do not recognize (or don't care about) the
need for them. I would guess they describe their work as "open
source" and do not talk about freedom. They have been supported by
Apple, the company which hates our freedom so much that its app store
for the ithings _requires_ all apps to be nonfree. (*)

The nonfree compilers that are now based on LLVM prove that I was
right -- that the danger was real. If I had "opened" up GCC code for
use in nonfree combinations, that would not have prevented a defeat;
rather, it would have caused that defeat to occur very soon.

For GCC to be replaced by another technically superior compiler that
defended freedom equally well would cause me some personal regret, but
I would rejoice for the community's advance. The existence of LLVM is
a terrible setback for our community precisely because it is not
copylefted and can be used as the basis for nonfree compilers -- so
that all contribution to LLVM directly helps proprietary software as
much as it helps us.

The cause of the setback is the existence of a non-copylefted compiler
that therefore becomes the base for nonfree compilers. The identity
of that compiler -- whether it be LLVM, GCC, or something else -- is a
secondary detail. To make GCC available for such use would be
throwing in the towel. If that enables GCC to "win", the victory
would be hollow, because it would not be a victory for what really
matters: users' freedom.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face.

Well, we are at Python 3.9.15 at the moment. So reaching 15 point releases seems quite doable.
Still using a mid-2012 MBP as my second machine here too. It's a great machine if you upgrade it to 16GB RAM (which it can take despite Apple's official claims) and an SSD. And unlike modern Macs, those are easy upgrades / repairs that you can do yourself. I actually just bought another mid-2012 MBP on eBay, as a backup in case this one dies, and as a dedicated Linux / elementary OS machine until then.

Also, the mid-2012 has the best trackpad, ever. A proper, satisfying mechanical click when you press it. I just can't use those haptic trackpads Apple put on every laptop from 2015 onwards.

The mid-2012 MBPs have very unreliable SATA flex cables though, so make sure you keep some spare flex-cables on hand. I had six of them replaced by Apple during the 3 year warranty period. (That unreliability is what made me switch back to Windows & use a Thinkpad X1 as my daily driver, but I'm keeping the Mac alive with my own repairs after Apple refused.)
> Coming from Windows and Linux, macOS had been a very unpleasant experience for me. It's full of papercuts.

The same could be said to the opposite transition, from macOS to Linux and/or Windows. All of these OSs are mature and old enough to have thousands of papercuts different from the thousands of papercuts of the other OSs, the impression is mostly based on what you are used to.

I used to be staunchly anti-Apple/Mac up to 2010-ish, nowadays I simply can't work and feel productive with a Windows machine. Linux can be a bit more pleasant until I get to the edges of the Linux-on-desktop UX and the experience crumbles.

Windows is definitely the most unpleasant experience I've ever had on desktop OSs, and I was a user all the way from Win3.11 to Windows 7 (latest iterations only on a gaming computer though).
Mounting a gun on drone will require mechanism to aim, fire and reload it, and it would be quite hard to keep it stable while firing I would imagine.

There is no consistancy in unix tooling, the best you can hope for is a good man page, if you are talking about how they all have dashes in front of the flags... I don't see how that helps.

But you are right about the power of unix being that it is a very expressive system exposed in a fairly simple syntax.

We have fallen far from the tree. But I think the real genius of the original unix was in what it did not do. there was a real desire to keep it a fun simple usable system. and it was and still is, as is proven by it's huge popularity and influence even today 50 years later.
You have a sad feeling for a moment. Then it passes.
Python has a 12 month release schedule[0], so 3.14.0 should be released in October 2025. Of the python 3 versions, only 3.6 and 3.7 got to .15, about 4 and 5 years after their releases[1]. But 3.9.14 was released last month, less than two years after it's initial release. So somewhere between 2027 and 2030?

I'm suggesting that Bumble shouldn't be the judge of what messages are appropriate to send or not. But they absolutely should provide filtering tools and feedback to users to reduce low quality or obnoxious behavior.

I don't disagree with you that a majority of women do not want unsolicited nudes. But there's not a consensus or black and white line between messages that are wanted or unwanted. Not all women are puritans, yet big tech censorship tends to push all interactions toward a puritanical moral ideal.

Personally, I'm interested in dating people who are sex positive, kink friendly, polyamorous and open minded. While I absolutely do not send unsolicited nudes or lead with crude messages, it can be hard to find people with a similar mindset when dating apps insert their morals between me and my potential dates.

I'm advocating for sensible filters and feedback, rather than moralistic censorship. Even if a majority of people agree with the morals. The only morals that dating apps ought to be concerned with are that the interacting parties are all consenting adults.

Yes, they frequently fix bugs that have been reported. However, they do this pretty much completely in-house with no communication outside.
> rare as it might be, there are people of both genders who actually enjoy receiving unsolicited nudes

I’m a nudist. I don’t enjoy receiving “unsolicited nudes” but a lot of acquaintances from that zone of my life do send photographs that sometimes depict them undressed in pursuit of whatever activity it is they’re depicting — usually the body in the picture is not the point of the exercise.

This just impedes the day-to-day communication of some folks. Imagine if Instagram were bought up by fundamentalists and suddenly implemented a filter that blocks all photographs of women who are not wearing headscarves.

It’s just yet another frustrating obstacle to overcome put in place by prudes.
I just tried a clean FF profile with resistFingerprinting enabled. No dice. Everything adds only very few bits of identifying information (unlike my main profile which is already almost unique thanks to the accept header (English, then German)) yet it still results in 17.75 bits which according to EFF is unique.

I’m agreeing with you, though I wonder, is there any way to not be unique? What would you have to do? Use Windows with no extra fonts, Chrome in English, on a FullHD monitor with webgl/canvas/audio fingerprinting protection extensions?
Open attendance :)
Appreciate the response. My main advice would be to try and be as upstream-focused as possible. Partnering with distros is great, but if your hardware is well supported upstream, you cover everything anyone would ever want to use. If there's fixes that need to go into older distro kernel it's typically trivial to get them backported if they're already upstream. Making Ubuntu work fixes Ubuntu, making upstream work fixes everything - and you're gonna have a lot of users that like living on the edge with distros that follow upstream closely like Arch and Fedora anyway.

Critically, the bulk of the resources on the distro side that would test your hardware as part of their regular testing are quite distant from upstream (Ubuntu is the closest, Fedora is largely community driven, RHEL and SLES aren't appealing desktop distros for most users), so having some upstream testing in-house would probably help a lot in getting ahead of problems.

Maybe you could try and get boards into kernelci.org? They're mostly focused on ARM SoCs but they have x86 boards in there too, though I don't think there's much on the desktop side. The i915 driver which has caused me much pain and suffering over the last couple of weeks has some test automation that could be run too: https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/

I'm sure there has to be more upstream automated testing initiatives for laptops but I'm not super familiar with that space.

Oh and if anyone's interested I gave a talk back in 2020 about how Linux kernel testing is fundamentally boned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fzd6MapG3Y

Good luck!

From what I read in their documentation[1], session's network is built upon an onion routing system where nodes are registered in the OXEN blockchain; you stake 15000 $OXEN to create a node and if you are "well-behaved" you get rewards in that blockchain -- otherwise you lose your stake.

I haven't dug too deep either but it doesn't sound much more centralized than the tor network for example.

Ask HN: Finding a cool cheap location for a short work-vacation?
What is a nice location to chill out (and work) for a few months?

Not looking for a tech visa!! Just a chill location, with broadband and decent food, for up to 3 months, probably on a tourist visa or whatever. Thinking of a budget of $100-$50/day give or take.

I am from Europe, single 30+ male, physically fit, with saving, apartment, diplomas , decent passport, etc.

I prefer a location with decent food, broadband, nice walk-able streets, safe for Westerners tourists, preferably within a short flight of the EU/Mediterranean.

Any suggestions?

> I also hate the Docker tagline that it "eliminates 'works on my machine' issues".

Docker basically just takes a snapshot, which hides the problem rather than fixing it: when we want to change something, like updating a dependency, we're back to the same dependency hell.

Even worse, those snapshots are often not reproducible (e.g. running things like `apt-get install -y foo`, which depends on the latest contents of third-party servers). Again, Docker tries to hide the problem by putting snapshots into a cache.

To avoid these problems, we need the discipline to do sensible things (e.g. using specific .deb packages, rather than apt-getting whatever's latest; or using something more brute-force like Nix). Yet once we do that, there's usually no point doing it with Docker at all; since those commands work perfectly well outside of a container (if we want a container to deploy, we can tar up the resulting directory)

This is getting unfortunately derailed. The debate is about whether Rishi's background renders him out of touch, not whether it gave him an unfair advantage.

Original claim (touristtam):

> He is a billionaire with a rich wife that hasn't been on a working class family wages for a very long time if he ever was. He cannot fathom the hardship that he is about to unleash on said working class.

Counter claim (DrBazza):

> he comes from just about the most modest background possible

Counter counter claim (Me):

> his father was a GP, his mother ran a local pharmacy, and he attended a very privileged boarding school

Rishi himself is on the record as making statements such as "I have no working class friends", "I always consider myself professional middle class", and "I tell inner city state school kids to apply to Oxford and talk to them about people like me, and then I shock them by saying I went to Winchester".

I'm not sure of the exact proportion of children attending public school per year in the UK, but I'm willing to bet it's a fraction of a percent. Both his siblings also attended private schools.

Rishi didn't have a "modest" background. He just didn't. Yes, his grandparents could be said to have grafted their way out of the working class. Yes, his parents worked hard to put him through a good education. That's exactly the point: he's never suffered and he doesn't know what being working class is like. He's been in the upper half of the middle class for his whole life.
