I believe that's misleading, because while not many sellers are located in Germany, this affects any Shopify shop who sells to customers anywhere in the EU. So I'd estimate roughly 30% of their revenue might be affected.

But of course, Shopify can just push this responsibility onto their customers, meaning the shop owners. That's what they currently do.
Strong agree. Go isn't my favorite language, but it is my favorite programming tool.

I feel really bad about laughing at this.
If you can make it with GIMP, you could probably look into OpenGL shaders to do it directly yourself: the processing could be faster and would provide you with more flexibility and coding fun times. I don't know of server-side libraries for that, but on iOS we have MetalPetal which provides some filtering features like ones in Gimp/Photoshop.

Have fun!
I really loved your blog post. Also, your site is an interesting combination of bold, clean and simple. Really well done.
I think you misunderstand my point: The problem is that it took until around 2020 for this work to start. Around 2015, a lot of would-be adopters from C and C++ didn't jump on the Go bandwagon because of the perf gap.

I use Go a lot today, as a former user of both C and C++, but Rust is probably better as a C/C++ replacement.
From one of the other HN threads, it seemed that FTX.us was firewalled from FTX.intl. Is that now revealed to be false?
Contemplating human innards makes me queasy PDQ. Somewhat relatedly, I unreservedly reject tattoos as a desecration of the gift of nature.

That all being said, I agree, this essay was well-written and appropriately respectful. Thank you for posting !
DM for my rate sheet.
> “In the 1980s, the country experienced on average one (inflation-adjusted) billion-dollar [extreme weather] event every four months,” the draft report states. “Now, there is one every three weeks, on average.”

That is pretty frustrating to read. To what degree do people pining for the '80s not realize they want the '80s climate back :-/
You can read about the VS solution format here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility...

As you can see it's quite complicated. The contents of go.work is literally

mod1/
mod2/

Also, the go.work file is meant to be your local workspace. If mod1 and mod2 have dependencies between each other, they should declare them explicitly and pull them in from the remote in most cases. The go.work file is only when you want to work on both modules locally. Meaning you don't check in go.work to your github repository in most cases.
My god, it's like the blueprint to a Ponzi scheme
Wait, does this imply that running a website behind CloudFlare is illegal in the EU? After all, webshop or not, IPs will be transmitted...

Or are IPs only a problem in connection with getting user data like name and address? Or is it the IP+cookie combo?

Poe's Law, this is totally screwing with my brain, this IS satire right? This is maybe the worst based-on-a-true story I've ever seen, exceptional in the low quality of its writing.

Am I biting the onion here? This is for laughs right?
Show HN: Structured HTML table data extraction from URLs in Go
This library aims to be something like pandas.read_html or table_extract Rust crate, but more idiomatic for Go.

htmltable enables structured data extraction from HTML tables and URLs and requires almost no external dependencies. Tested with Go 1.18.x and 1.19.x. Complex tables with row and col spans are natively supported as well.
> It's basically a software brute force that works great for 4 digit pins, takes longer for longer passcodes

Since the pin/password isn't actually the encryption key and is instead just the code that is provided to the security module/TPM on the device, I fail to see how this can be bruteforced. Unless there is also a magic hardware backdoor in Android phones, but in that case why would there need to be private companies and how would they even have access to this.
Sometime back I read "How to Make a Million Before Lunch" by Rachel Bridge. It helps to get out of the "unicorn echo chamber".
You need to pay people to meet their basic needs. I know that some don't think this way but it happens one way or another. If people can't get their basic needs met, they will eventually break.
Thanks! I'm also adding this to my reading list now.
I'm in Sweden and we did several of the things that article says we didn't do. In Sweden we have a legal right to unlimited time off when we are sick. During the pandemic, we were instructed to stay home and collect our paid time off if we had even the slightest symptom. Starting after a few months into the pandemic, everyone who could work from home was required to do so. In places of work where it was impossible to work from home, strict social distancing rules were in place.

That article makes some other questionable assertions, for example claiming it's an indisputable fact that Covid was manufactured in a lab.
Just stop financing and starting wars, please.

Edit: also embargoes, please let people trade in peace.
It's still possible they had no direct exposure because all of crypto is in chaos right now and people are fleeing
two issues are mentioned in the post. One is a rather boring cookie consent issue which the user was able to solve, the thornier one is that Shopify's use of American CDNs runs into privacy issues. A user in the comments points out that the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, which is basically the next iteration of Privacy Shield (which was canned in 2020) will probably alleviate these issues.

Personally I think though the onus should be on Shopify. Although only 20% of their revenue appears to be in the EU region I think that warrants managing user s private data locally.

Why even bother commenting, Thomas?
This doesn't solve the problem of wanting to redo from another "do history branch" while preserving the changes you've done in your current history branch. Using the notation of the article, you have done:

A -> B -> C -> rewound to B -> D -> E

Now at that E point, you'd want to have C too. (I'm assumikng there is no conflict between C and E.) There is no point in the linear history where you have both E and C. Sure you can go back to C, or go back to E. Or go back to C then decide to go back to E again. But you can't have both.

In vim, I use the fact that the yank buffers are not part of the undo/redo history, only changes to the file are. So I undo to the point I had the change I want back, yank them in a named buffer, redo and put the yanked buffer. You cannot go to an alternate history, but at least you can get back stuff you've deleted.

In git, what I describe is pretty-close to cherry-pick from a commit in a branch you deleted that you find using the ref-log.
On Permanence and Safety
Hollywood is dying because reality is so much more entertaining.
Past co-workers who were located in Germany also go dramatically more vacation than we did in America. I'm guessing they likely have better medical benefits and other social services; however, I don't know for sure.
In France the largest political party until 1956 was the communist party. In 1948 the communist/socialist alliance was almost elected to power in Italy, and the communist party was getting over one third of the vote to 1976 (the Italian socialist party with hammer and sickle logo got about 10% of the vote, and Maoist parties got hundreds of thousands of votes). Too much widespread support at the time to ban.

Not in West Germany which reinstated the Nazi ban on the communist party. Not the USA which banned the communist party, criminalized the party and jailed its leaders ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Control_Act_of_195... ). South Korea, South Africa, Indonesia wtc. all followed the same path.

Dissenting parties were outlawed in western and western aligned countries all over the world, and many of them like Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Australia etc. became one party led states.

Australia did not outlaw the Labour party, but we can see what happened when the Liberal party interrupted the 1949 to 1983 Cold War rule led by the Liberal party - pressures national and international undermined any ability to rule until a foreign monarch had her footman toss him out.
Is this just the natural outcome of running a multi billion dollar crypto business? Do you hire so many experts and lawyers that they set this up for you as an ideal structure?

Seeing how stupid/greedy SBF was, it makes me wonder if people like him are smart enough to truly understand the need for such structure without having experts in place.
>FTX being corrupt doesn't automatically mean banks are not corrupt.

That's not what OP said. OP highlighted the fact that a lot of the crypto space lambasts the traditional banking system as being wholly corrupt, despite a lot of the crypto space itself being equally corrupted in the same ways.

Edit: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", basically.
On my work computer, I am not signed into a Google account in the profile I use Youbtube in. Youtube has apparently decided that I would be most likely to engage with Shorts that feature scantily clad women and clear sexual innuendos.

My only guess is it has grouped me in with the crowd that watches metal machining videos.
We're talking about developed countries here so yeah tons of stuff has been dematerialised, I call my doctor by video instead of driving there, I download movies instead of driving to the cinema, I get deliveries which are batched instead of going to the mall, I no longer need to send letters and buy paper maps, I don't need to drive to the library anymore to get books, the electricity company does not need to drive on the whole city just to read the electric meters... The list is endless, and this is just individual stuff, whenever you get to the whole supply chain, that gets compounded at every level.
> They have the right to know the contents of the list.

Is this true? If you pass along a warning to friends/coworkers does this obligate you to make a public accusation because other people have a right to that information?

Personally I think the confidence threshold for making a public accusation against an individual should be substantially higher than the confidence threshold for passing along private warnings or mentioning the existence of such warnings.

And given the number of public accusations against politicians I don't find it particularly surprising that there are additional accusations that have not been made public. To use your metaphor, if 5% of judges have been publicly accused of corruption, would it surprise you to learn that there are rumors (but no public accusations) against an additional 5%?
But the researchers didn't pick just pick an alternative definition of the word - they identified two, including the posters definition. This represents a more complete picture of empathy, including your "caveat", than the statement "autism is not related whatsoever to the lack of empathy".

There's also a component of this missing - empathy is usually somewhat non-intentional - as in you don't choose what signals make you feel. It's not clear to me an autistic person told something would have the same impact. Even in non-autistic people, an experienced narrated/described doesn't usually have the same reaction as one experienced, and I think this is an important part of empathy (in a game-theoretic/evolutionary sense) as something that is not calculated.
Yeah, I noticed this recently.

I'd search for keyword 'X'. There are some relevant results in the first dozen results, fine. And then I scroll on because I know that there is more, but the search results just... end? Like there's only ever going to be a dozen valid results for any search?

It is a sad day when I have to flip over to bing or somewhere to do a deeper search, rather than staying on-site.
I have to do authentication on my phone for my work VPN and other logins, plus I go for walks and still want to be able to answer slack so I keep my phone around. This obviously leads to distraction with various social apps, so I recently installed an app called Opal which does the app blocking, but doesn't let you get around it unless you sit and wait for 30 seconds before taking a "break".

The app is a bit pricey, $100 USD / year, but I sent a message to their customer support and they offered me a year subscription for $30 / year, which ultimately is worth the focus I end up getting for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Having good habits also help, but that takes diligent practice and discipline, which for me ebbs and flows.
IPv6 prefix is assigned on a per router basis, you know, like how IPv4 and NAT already works.
To be fair ikea corporate structure looks like the mini boss before the real boss compared to this lol.
This affects the entire EU. I try to hammer it into people's heads here in NL. Using US-based cloud services if you touch PII is a huge risk as they're all getting like crazed addicts fighting over their next high PII-high.
I think stealing beats a fudged lab report.
> WeWork went public in 2021 after a two-year struggle and currently has a market cap of around $1.77 billion. Its pre-IPO valuation was once pegged at nearly $50 billion.

If there was ever a reason for news media to stop taking VC-reported implied valuations as gospel, this would be it.
Also see Africa.

Case in point of the modern US meddling for "freedom" is Libya.

Once seen as a model of development African countries can look to, has spiralled into filth with open slave markets.

I don't know whether to applaud the US for destroying a such a promising country with such effortless guile or spit on disgust that other powerful nations looked on and did nothing.
The most fundamental miss here is the lack of live code editing. One of the basic things that makes PLCs a separate thing is that you can edit code live without stopping execution of the device. In real automation applications you can't shut down a plant or a line or a generator or whatever just because you want to add a new E-stop or change the timing on an actuator slightly or tune a PID etc.

If you have to kill the machine to recompile this is not a PLC by any stretch of the imagination, it's an Arduino with a fancy box.
Anyone here able to do a tl;dr; for us? The FTX story is super confusing. Why are they screwed? What happened?
You act as if the NSA is one monolithic hive mind. They have offensive cats and defensive cats, and they don’t talk to each other as much as you’d think they do.
Markdown by definition compiles to HTML and must be rendered by a browser as HTML. This seems to be a widely overlooked fact in this thread.

It's fine to write MD, but know that it's a limited and shortcut form for the real HTML that will be output and rendered.

The short form is great for short stuff but to access the full power of HTML and CSS takes really messy spaghetti MD. And don't even start with JS or TS. Modern sites usually need code and that means web components and that means real HTML and all of CSS need to be present and accessible in an orthogonal way -- not some via MD syntax and some with HTML glommed-onto MD.
The claim that countries that do manufacturing for export have decarbonized faster than the rest of the economy is interesting.

Prior to the pandemic, one sometimes heard that even if you had a desire to do a particular manufacturing step outside of China, the advantages of being in a manufacturing region that was set up for scale, that had so many of your suppliers etc made it much faster and cheaper to set up production for a new product, iterate and change the parts you needed etc. Was some portion of decarbonizing manufacturing exports the sheer concentration of manufacturing steps in the area? Parts don't need to be shipped as far between steps etc? In 2020/2021 people began talking about the need to make supply chains more robust by spreading out and replicating production capabilities more. Will that re-carbonize some of that manufacturing process?
> The incessant drum of media criticism has ensured Ms. Holmes will be punished for the rest of her life,” according to the filing. “Ms. Holmes will never be able to seek another job or meet a new friend without the negative caricature acting as a barrier.

Weird, I didn’t see her complaining when the media falsely portrayed her as a brilliant inventor who developed a revolutionary blood testing machine. I must have missed the part where, during the years when press coverage was totally to her advantage, she corrected the record. Can she please point to the time where she told the press at that time, “no no, please accurately portray me as someone with a product that just plain doesn’t work? Otherwise I might unjustly benefit from my media portrayal as a visionary medical science leader, and fairness is very important to me!”
Two observations I've heard from a young relative who has done cadaver dissection at scale, and is qualified to teach the subject in Med. School:

- "You want a facility with good ventilation. Doesn't take an M.D. to understand that breathing the vapors from embalming fluids, intestine contents, etc. is bad."

- "Once you get the head off, the rest is easy."
If they weren’t corrupt then Glass-Steagall would have been no problem.
What about this story seems cinematic to you? This is a Ponzi scheme participant who didn't even deny being a Ponzi scheme participant in interviews.
In theory, yes. In practice, the issue is that Shopify refuses to sign a data processing agreement: https://gdpr.eu/what-is-data-processing-agreement/
While not as bad as $400, $100 would still be a significant price _increase_ compared to 2008 (even when accounting for inflation).
The same way everyone verified everything online before 2015
AI training does not use a lot of energy. It is estimated that GPT-3 needed about 1GW-h. A 747-400 aircraft uses 120MW of primary power while cruising (10 tonnes of Jet A per hour). Every time an aircraft flies between Atlanta and London, it uses more energy than was used to train GPT-3. Every single time.
Not unsurprising. At work (Germany) we are forbidden to use any US cloud services, i wonder why this hasn't been the new normal yet.
Yes, but GP wanted something that would just keep all deleted text.

Sort of, anytime you delete something, that text gets stored somewhere in case, 2 hours later, you realised you wanted it.
Talking about Portenta, to be fair, Massimo and Arduino people IMO have done a pretty good job at characterising the product as "useful for something not extremely complex under the control/automation/engineering requirements PoV but where expanded IoT possibilities can be a huge selling point, and especially useful for systems which are serially produced". So, no process control or huge machinery, think more like mid-size ovens [https://www.arduino.cc/pro/case-studies-rinaldi-ovens] or things like this. I think the Arduino people are being very aware of the industry needs and are not being unrealistic "wahh PLCs sux lets throw them all away" kind of people ( :D ).

As for me, as an industrial controls professional, I welcome these new solutions, they're another tool in my toolbox. It's up to my engineering decision to evaluate the proper usage of tools.
How to Build a Personal Brand
I think I agree with what you are saying. Paraphrased/simplified, the problem is that the extreme end of the hygiene hypothesis is to have a non clean area at all.

Reminds me of the somewhat silly phrase of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Unless, of course, it leaves you much much weaker. Which is very possible.
Whats remarkable in the UK is how the huge rise in fossil fuel prices has suddenly revealed how many business's are basically converting fossil fuels into goods and services. I mean people understood that putting petrol in the car is fossil fuels but buying a pint in the pub? But suddenly the pubs, and a host of other business's are saying that without the cheap energy their business isn't viable. It's all rather a wake up call.
What do you mean just barely? They're exactly as safe as Rust. Perhaps they're not making it a selling point because it's been obvious for a few decades that automatic memory management tends to be memory safe.

In fact some languages are even safer (e.g. Scheme and various Lisp implementations don't have integer overflows due to having bignums by default).
> How would you? Are you running an intelligence agency and it's part of your job as a boss to constantly monitor your employees?

No, I live in a culture where this matters arise. There are many discussions in this thread based on culture experience. I see for example privacy discussions, in some cultures/countries privacy is a must but at the same time contradictory with the private information that is flowing unregulated in multiple organizations.
You either do an interview or a member sends you an invite. It's a private tracker just like what.cd was. It's less elitist than most other trackers which are invite only and sometimes lock registrations completely. Unfortunately they have to keep a low profile and pick their members to avoid copyright trolls or being shut down entirely. The test isn't very difficult and there is a public page explaining everything one needs to know. It's more about showing some effort and making sure that you know how to act accordingly on a private tracker
I think the answer to my question from this is that the money in my Citibank account is part of all the other money Citibank can lend out.

There is no specific pile anywhere that is "my money", but if I withdraw $10k, the bank has $10k less to lend out.
It's currently getting downvoted to the bottom of the comments, and follow up responses to it with more "corroborating information" are already getting downvoted to hell.

Edit 2: Aaaaand the genesis comment, as well as the follow up with "corroborating information", are now flagged.
What a fascinating trainwreck this has been to watch, and we're barely past the two-week mark.
I was asked a question. I answered it. I don't know what you think is going on here, but I think it's probably simpler than you think it is.

This is my thing about Pinboard drama (and Go drama, and Signal drama) on HN. It's made to seem like a gripping psychodrama. But there's less going on than you think. I'm telling you: I use Pinboard every day, it's been rock solid for me, I don't use archiving all that often, but I clicked around and all my archivey things seem to be working. That's all I've got for you.
Yes, that's what's weird.

FTX Trading Ltd is "is incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda, and headquartered in The Bahamas", yet the linked statement clearly says FTX Trading Ltd (plus the FTX US entity, and Alameda, and others) are filing for Chapter 11 under US law in Delaware.

Is there a parent company of FTX Trading Ltd that's based in the US?

Edit: Apparently "Paper Bird Inc" is registered in Delaware, is 100% owned by SBF, and has ~89% ownership of FTX Trading Ltd.
