So the state wants to decide what is truth and what is not... What should be shared and what should not?

I wonder how that can go badly? Maybe this one time in history we will make that notion work...

I would say the above statement is sarcastic, but if at this point people actually believe this is a good idea I would either question the history or civics education quality or the hypocrisy tolerance perception.

I claim this is a surefire way to create more instability, undermine democracy and straight out attack the most fundamental right in a democratic setting: free speech. (Also, personally, extremely insulting to any scientist to have truth dictated.)

So what: some people/bots act maliciously and spread disinformation. Put a disclaimer. Teach your people to be critical and better. Recall how the state screwed up in the past. There were states that in law stated if you orgasm it couldn't have been a rape. There are states that mishandled the pandemic, and botched the messaging.

Perception of speech is extremely subjective and cultural. You only create extreme views by censoring -- you are banning collaboration. The U.S. has an extreme Political correctness approach, that has only harmed democracy in my book in the end. Communication is for reaching consensus.

You can't be "diversity is great" and "if you say X that is disagreeable to me you are terrible." Pick one.

If someone, including state actors, screws up and causes damage with their speech, get them charged for the appropriate crime -- and even then I would say
"maybe." That is what should be in question and up for discussion and debate.

That some people in DHS even considered this should get them fired (at least); how is this not a crime subverting the U.S. constitution?

(my) Theorem: Sure words can hurt temporarily. Lack of works is fatal.
This is incorrect. In the past apps like Photoshop have allowed plugins which differ from App Extensions by running inside the host app's process. App Extensions are run in a separate process and don't have access to the entitlements of the host application, and can't directly access its data. This tends to mean that extensions are much better behaved than plug-ins.

The cognitive distortion 'catastrophizing' comes to mind.

For example you just imagined a made up scenario (this and that would have happened if X variable was different) and then accepted it as fact to justify a litany of observations about entire populations and subgroups.

This daydreaming is somehow 'more eggregious' than the contents of the article.

On the flip side, I believe everyone understands what you wrote. But it requires faith that the author and editors are writing in good faith, which has been decreasing for a long time.

Click bait headlines, stories with weak fact checking or even printing outright lies has decreased (at least my) trust in news articles and has resulted in me questioning facts and anonymous quotes more frequently(which may be a good thing).
Water lines in Arizona single family homes are very commonly routed through the attic, where they can get very hot, so your imagined scenario isn't really that far off from reality for a lot of people.

So what if it's political? You think crypto is good, Drew thinks it's bad.
I don’t understand the obsession with ranges, shouldn’t posting a minimum be sufficient? Posting a minimum allows job seekers to rule out roles that can’t pay their bills/expenses without putting a ceiling on how high a job seeker can negotiate.
I like having my terminal attached to my editor, but I don't like it integrated with the editor. Some of the integration features are cool, like clicking to view a file in the editor straight from an error message, but I always get frustrated with the integrated terminal's small size, and it's not convenient to resize it. Or it can slow down the editor when a lot of output is happening (VS Code). Sometimes it's a third-party solution that isn't well maintained (Atom, Sublime Text).

Ideally, I'd love a way to glue sets of windows together and move them around as one piece, without being a tiling window manager.
Right, that’s my interpretation as well. I think the real point is something more simple like “you cannot falsely report a fire” (I mean, you can, but you’ll get charged with a crime). The reference to the theater seems to kind of cloud the analogy a lot - and serves to confuse the association with free speech generally.
I understand that, and maybe the activists pretending to be journalists should have thought about that before burning the public's trust by just taking any sensationalized "source" with no vetting and reporting on it as fact.

The "media" did this to themselves, now at this point no one would trust any news story that is only validated with "anonymous sources" as the media has proven they are either incapable of vetting these sources for truthful info, or do not actually have any sources at all and are just making shit up for the clicks

Either way they have given the public no reason to trust them at this point

360 indeed uses hypervisor [0], but uses it only for security, to make the app signature verification run on a higher level.

Windows on PCs also runs under hypervisor if you enable some security features (e.g. VBS/HVCI which are on by default since Windows 11 2022 update, or Windows Sandbox, or WDAG) or enable Hyper-V itself (e.g. to use WSL2/Docker).

The performance losses are indeed there, but by purely running the hypervisor you lose just around 1% [1], because the only overhead is added latency due to accessing memory through SLAT and accessing devices through IOMMU...

I'd imagine XB1 is running with all the security stuff enabled though, which demands additional performance losses [2]..

Fair enough. I took the parent comment to be implying that that tradeoff was necessary--i.e. to have high salaries you have to have loose labour laws--as opposed to a simple statement about the current world we live in.

If it's the latter, absolutely you are right, and it is certainly the case that tech employees today are forced to make the choice between New York/California tech salaries and strong labour laws, regardless of whether or not there's a necessary inverse relationship between those two things.

I think something like that might be how it's done. I don't think they could use the master password directly (at least I hope not, wouldn't that mean transmission of a master password from the client?), though I suppose they might have a mechanism of generating a consistent key pair just from the master password.

However it works, I think LastPass should have a technical section that describes the mechanism in more detail

The desktop bit is indeed a little unstable on Linux for some features. My experience as well. Especially with monitors, plugging/unplugging and window placement.

> You can go back to the year 2000 and find Fox News and CNN talking heads warning us about the impending doom of baby boomers retiring and taking the economy with them. Any year now...

Yeah. And now it's happening.

Back in 2000 the average baby boomer was 35-55, far from retirement age.

The average baby boomer is now 55-75, and after COVID forced a ton of them out of the labour force, they're choosing not to come back.

See, you can report about a thing that's likely to happen in the future before it actually happens, and in the intervening period, while it may not be happening, that doesn't mean the reporting is wrong.

Or are you also one of those types that thinks the media was overblowing the whole global warming thing because they deigned to report about it before we saw some of the more dramatic and visible effects?

Frankly, I don't know what you're going on about in the rest of your comment. I made no claim that baby boomers aging out of the workforce explains All The Things. I certainly didn't make the claim that it explains trends in the economy up to this point. My point is that it's now a major factor in the economy going forward and we can expect major changes as a consequence.
> So the companies are legitimately balking at this because they'll have to pay their existing employees more if they put out an attractive posting....

Internet communication is a gain medium. Like a pumped ruby ready to lase at the first random fluctuation.

The gain medium is in a high energy state and will emit on anything that triggers it. Simply removing the triggers will just let the gain go higher before something let's loose.

But the doctors almost always were taking notes anyway. My step father (A doctor) fought a losing battle against electronic records because he had _decades_ of paper records stored in the "records" room of his office. That was largely the responsibility of the front desk to pull the patients records and have them ready for him to read/check before seeing the patient. Then clean them up and refile them. Long term patients had pages and pages of hand written notes, prescription histories, etc.

So a part of the job has always been the record keeping, OTOH, as one of the other users mentioned, I've seen enough Dr's using their computer records systems to know that software is mostly garbage. The Dr's spend 2-4x the time dealing with the shitty UI as actually typing in the notes now.

(In the end he basically retired instead of convert to electronic records).
If the terminations are happening for the purpose of depriving employees of stock-related compensation they are about to earn, that may be an illegal reason.

Of course not, I would expect him to say nothing in that case.

Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous how people conflate "Elon is a bad guy who stretches the truth all the time" with him sending out a completely unambiguous statement that, if it were a lie, would easily be proven wrong in one day. Point being, people who do stretch the truth/over-promise know how to do it in a way that isn't falsifiable in 24 hours.
So what I used to tell people to do was to slowly incremente their budget and measure performance at each step. It's kinda stupid, but it worked.

That's okay. A trained human can do much better than necessary, and geofenced pattern recognition software doesn't have to be as good, especially because it should have better reaction times and braking force than a human.

> "As long as the remote operators and assistance teams are an order of magnitude smaller than putting a driver in every car" - the entire gig is way to expensive and requires "time travel" level of scientific achievements, which is 100% fiction and 0% reality.

Why?

If you can run a fleet of 300 cars with 30 people, that's already enough to make tons of money once you get well-established. You don't need any scientific improvements for that, let alone the ones you're exaggerating.
Not really. There’s unemployment insurance. But in NH for example to pick one state I’m familiar with, the maximum is $427 per week for 26 weeks. Some other states are certainly more but for someone in a high paying job it’s not much. So a max of about $11,000. I’m familiar with other insurance other than your own savings.

This is actually a great comparison, and we can look at the proliferation of anti-witchcraft propaganda leading to the brutal murders of thousands of women and queer people for a prototypical example of the very real damage caused by disinformation.
Agree. You would have to keep up with changes in the space, and accept the possibility that you even if you're right about it strategically, you aren't able to make the appropriate bet, because e.g. the company that succeeds is private.

However, you could try to think about ways to hedge that risk, by thinking about who benefits in ancillary ways. E.g. for instance, which firms are likely to benefit most from AI labor substitution (whether developed in house or not). There are no certainties here, of course.

The Wii plays GameCube games and accepts the controllers and memory cards, the Wii U doesn't. I assume removing the ports and the mechanism to load small discs in the disc slot were the main reasons for dropping it.

The Wii was compatible with the GameCube largely by being basically an enhanced GameCube under the hood, and the Wii U is kind of a further step down that same road with its "vWii" backwards compatibility mode, so it's possible to use homebrew to play dumped GameCube games on a Wii U natively, only providing some light glue to hook things together. It's not officially supported though.
Fine then don't care if your website is unusable by a disabled person on a public computer. I don't control your life. 95 year old cobol hacker Mabel still can't install the extensions that are supposed to fix the problem you're talking about because a careless library sysadmin forgot to whitelist them or was worried about malware hijacks.

Accessible design is beautiful design because function is the essence of beauty though. Any website that excludes part of the public is hideous. Websites that need their disabled users to execute sketchy arbitrary code to fix a UI that is physically hard to use are badly designed. "lol just run an extension" is something that sounds very simple but is FAR more complicated if you care about things like security and compatibility and aesthetics. Disabled users should get the same experience using your website, the same aesthetics, and the same security as your other users.

I don't accept rationalisation of inaccessible design in actual developer tooling or websites with a substantial amount of users. The damage caused to the disabled quickly exceeds the convenience afforded to developers once you're hitting user counts in the thousands.

The big reason EMR is so overbearing is to optimize billing… as far as economic statistics, that should show up as positive even if less patient care is actually delivered.
My 2 cents (although a bit of a salty take): In my last 3 roles, rewards like promotions go to those who create their own personal brand and win the popularity contest. While sometimes that correlates with actual productivity but often does not. So often I see folks do the bare minimum in these work cultures which seem to be getting more prevalent.

The most important asset I have is my bank account. In case of death, wife can take over (the only thing needed from wife is to proof she's my wife... so pretty much her ID card and marriage papers). That's it. Subscriptions? GitHub account with private side projects? Digital libraries? HN account? Email? All of that is not that important. If my wife has access to my bank account she can either transfer all of it to hers and effectively cancelling all my subscriptions or reject individual subscriptions manually.

Then the solution is to inform them, not to attempt to police information.
DHS should be abolished. It was a transparent attempt to create an unaccountable organization after 9/11 that had a vague mission statement and would not have stopped the terrorist attacks, nor could they do anything about terrorism in the middle east, being a completely domestic organization. They provide no value, do nothing, and have immense power. That is why they would search for a new, broad mission statement. They are just like the Patriot act and the TSA. All stupid mistakes allowed by a pathetically emotional and stupid public to let a horrific regime fuck around in the desert and bomb sand for decades, murdering innocent civilians.

I am all for groups like the FBI watching actual domestic terror cells as hate groups spend their time "infiltrating" (literally just a person with extreme opinions and thoughts becoming a police officer) law enforcement. But the DHS has no defensible mission. It was made without a real reason for the people.

How do we get it shut down?
Which makes it a terrible choice of words as it somehow suggests something is not propaganda if it's true.

It also turns discussions about propaganda into discussions about objective truth which is a lot harder. It's easier to show someone has a lot to gain by spreading a certain message, than to verify a bunch of unfounded statements, framing propaganda as 'disinformation' is a brilliant move that makes any subsequent discussion of who to trust about endless fact-checking. It might seem like facts don't matter any more, but focusing on the facts might be the wrong counter move, the facts may well be red herrings used to sneak in dangerous ideology unchallenged.
