The same can be said for things like diversity statements. You know exactly what you are supposed to say and any deviation will be punished . It’s just a formality you have to perform correctly.
"Better" is irrelevant to the law, the requirement is a USB standard that's USB-C or newer. Apple is in the USB-IF so they can innovate there together with other vendors.
For other confused readers, RSA with 512 bits uses 155 decimal digits. Hence RSA-155. This seems to be old notation from the RSA challenge that was clasiffied by the decimal length of numbers rather than the bit-length.

Note that RSA-155bit is much worse than RSA-512bit. Both are insecure and should not be used, but you are still looking at the difference of "you need to rent a server farm to crack is" and "you need a laptop to crash it". I'm probably underselling how trivial RSA-155 is to crack.
That the US is generally slow to roll out this kind of national standard is mostly due to politics and general aversion to government work, not because the US waited for crypto to make the problem "known".

By design, the Federal Reserve is semi-independent from the political process in the US and is not government funded. The problem was "known" for years but the threat of crypto played a significant role in finally spurring them into quick action.
What? Twitter is amazing now. Reality distortion field I guess.
It's still expensive to raise Series A. Like why isn't there a very standard document that can significantly reduce the cost of financing
When I attended his talk ~4(?) years ago on No Silver Bullet, the audience had the chance to ask questions about recent technologies like ML/DL, AI (though CoPilot didn't exist yet), modern safety features, etc. I wish I could remember his exact responses to those questions, but of course he still maintained that there is no silver bullet :)

If I'm writing my own out of tree Rust module (for the sole purpose of fun), I wonder how hard it would be to bring in external no-std crates?

Rust as a language feels unusually high level for something running in kernelspace, although it never really sacrifices any control. But I wonder how far we can reasonably go in making kernelspace feel like userspace, by importing more of the language's 'vocabulary types', and maybe a few of the best utility crates for comfort.

But besides people having fun out of tree, the kernel has plenty of fundamental complexity that can't very well be reduced. That tends to be the good complexity, the meat of it.
What I would like to see is things that aren't essential complexity becoming nicer.

Simple cultural things like better error messages when the tooling fails, or documentation becoming more common rather than the exception. None of this is guaranteed to magically happen just because there's a bit of infrastructure where Make can call rustc. But here's to hoping =)
Indeed.

People talk about like it a critical major industry is about to go under.

It’s Twitter. If it goes under it’ll be missed as much as MySpace.

I've felt this way too at times. Then I think about writing a post like yours and scan the top 30 headlines for anything that doesn't seem like it involves STEM, startups/entrepreneurs or Tech companies and their people/woes.

Right now I come up with 4 out of 30. Items I consider not HN worthy: Buffet/Munger comments about crypto (crypto discussions are mostly about finance these days not tech), Gravedigging 101, Apple rankings (the fruit not the tech company) and one about beer sales at the World Cup.

Economic discussions can be interesting and that leads to the point I've seen dang make that even though a topic may not sound like it applies, HN is about hackers commentary about the topic. So a topic about the economy or stocks might have a HN slant about careers at companies where total comp includes RSU's and commentary about attrition or whatever.

I think HN is vastly better than other online forums about filtering content and commentary. Flag things you don't think are appropriate and vote down comments that don't contribute to the discussion in some way.
As a non-apple person I still think that the lightning connector is far superior to Micro-USB. And I would have been vehemently against a legally mandated Micro-USB port.

USB-C is quite a good standard, but it also incorporated some of the features of lightning, e.g. rotational symmetry, a significant usability enhancement.

The question is: could e.g. apple create a port which is significantly superior to USB-C, the way lightning was superior to Micro-USB?

It is wrong to assume that crypto is broken if it doesn't have a high value in some arbitrary currency like the USD. Crypto works just as well even if the price 0. It will still process transactions, still create new blocks, and it will still have a use for someone somewhere, even non-financial.

The average use time I find are anywhere between 45 and 90 min per day per user.

I've read Burkeman's book and heard him on Sam Harris' podcast and app (Waking Up). A lot of people would benefit from his ideas. The core idea being: we think that we need just "a little more time" or "just another productivity hack" to be on top of things, but this is the wrong way to approach things. Creative people will always have too many projects/tasks on their to-do list.

The law does not apply to all electronic devices. The law only applies to consumer handhelds. That’s mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, earbuds, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles and portable speakers. And at a later date, laptops. It’s hard to think of any popular devices in those categories, aside from Apple’s phones and earbuds, that don’t ship with standard USB chargers.

This is related to the real reason key changes no longer chart, they are a cliche. You are no more likely to get a song with cheesy modulations into the Billboard top 100 than you are a book that starts "it was a dark and stormy night" into the New York Times bestseller list.

In Eurovision though, the cheese is part of the fun.
It's much harder to regulate and control when there's no centralized gatekeeper that regulators can target.

Distributed consensus reduces the power that all centralized entities - whether government or corporate - exert.
Going "hardcore" can be an amazing experience. Some of the most exciting and fun times during my career were when I was on a tiger team.

Elon Musk is approaching this in a horrible way though. By using hardcore as a default setting, and quiet firing anyone who doesn't sign on to it, he's signaling hard core must be forced thing. "hardcore" itself has negative connotations.

Think of how different the news cycle would be right now if he had said the following:

* "Twitter's engineers have done an amazing job, and everyone is getting a 2% out of cycle bonus in stock"

* "Those who want to do an even more amazing job and enter beast mode with me (crucial that he work the same hours), will get a 10% bonus in stock each year they do, with the first year's 10% after the first month of beast mode. For me beast mode means 60-70 hour weeks, one or more pushed commits per day, and being on-site at least two days out of five."

* "Those who don't enter beast mode are still Twitter engineers, among the best in the industry, and will not be penalized in any way. We recognize that different people have different needs when it comes to work-life balance, and we value diversity at Twitter."

* "We do need to improve our platform in some ways though. To this end I am putting a 3 month freeze on hiring, firing, and new features. Our focus during this time will be improving performance, improving security, and fixing bugs."
Getting rid of all dark webs would somehow prevent the symptoms you mention?
Make a google spreadheet[1] with the list of your old industry contacts. Research. Prioritize. Start calling/messaging them. Say you want to catch up. Either have a catch up talk on the phone, and if they like it set up a coffee meeting (coffee on you;).

> You can get out of the USB-C requirement by having only inductive charging

That's a nice loophole there :)

Anyway, it's not like USB-C isn't good enough and that they can't change the rules if/when a new connector get enough support. And to get enough support, it most likely means that it has to be compatible (in some way) with USB-C. That's a nice feature.
> Elaborate harmonies are just not a thing anymore.

I think one way to categorize music is harmony focused (European classical music) or rhythm focused (African tribal music).

In the last 30 years we've seen a big shift towards more rhythm based music, especially in electronic music.

I don't think it's just a fad, I think it's deeper, rhythm can put the brain in a trance like state, this is harder to do with harmonies.

1: Fire top managers & half the workforce, the criteria behind the firing being "just coz"
2. Threat the remaining employees with bankruptcy.

4: Profit???

Serious question. Why npm? I mean it's a command line tool; why buy in to the JavaScript ecosystem?
Because we already know what happens when a common port is not mandated.

Seriously, before this law was put in place, Europe had been asking companies to agree on a common charging port for more than a decade.

The first Memorandum of Understanding on the subject was signed in 2009. Amusingly Apple did sign it before deciding to simply ignore it. That was followed by a directive in 2014 and an impact assessment in 2018.

Despite these repeated warnings, Apple spent the decade lobbying against a common port while collecting a tidy sum with the Made For Iphone initiative.

The EU didn’t mandate by hubris. It just had to. We need a law because if we don’t have one there will always be companies reverting to proprietary ports. They just can’t resist the easy money.
> Implementing a web app without react or svelte would require using web components

You keep stating this as a fact with literally zero supporting arguments.

No, web components are not required to build a web app. Web's largest and most successful web apps and web sites have been built before web components even became a thing and keep being built without using them.

I think bringing Rust into Linux was a really bad idea. IMO Rust has yet to prove it isn’t another overly complicated C++ waiting to make projects almost incomprehensible to understand. It does not provide the same easy ramp up that C provided when working on most of the system software stack on Linux. There’s also still too few standalone projects using it to consider it a proper candidate for folding into such a large project forever.

I am surprised Linus agreed to this given that he doesn’t like C++ and usually errs on the side of clear over clever, and we have yet to see tangible benefits of using Rust.

On average it takes about double the power to charge the device. Coils aren't always properly aligned, and it's not as efficient in the first place.

If we adopt this tech en masse, we'll need to build some more power plants.

> Is that a joke, stereotype, or a serious proposition?

Yes, certainly.

On a multi-day trip where the vast majority of the time is spent not seeing anything, and a vanishing percent is seeing something very briefly and needing to ready your gun, calm your nerves, aim, fire, in less than a second... you find any way possible to minimize time spent in the "calm your nerves" portion and improve the accuracy of the "aim, fire" one.

If that ties in with improved mood during the "not see anything" potion, even better.
Well, Twitter usage is the relevant metric as that leads to ad impressions, thus revenue.

However the question is for how long he can keep the drama and attention till the thing collapses.
You do that by merging.

For people who love a clean, linear history, this can be frustrating, because it creates a new commit that doesn't add anything new, it just merges two branches. At my current project, PRs get merged very slowly, and after every PR gets merged, we merge master back into all the branches, which has lead to a ridiculous number of merge commits, and the guy who loves clean history won't stop complaining about it.

The problem is: if you rebase instead, you don't actually change the old commit, you make a new commit that contains the same content change as the old one. But it's a new commit, different from the one you already pushed to remote. So now you want to push your new rebased commit (as well as everything from master) to remote, and git says that remote has a commit that you don't have locally. So it wants to rebase or merge that remote commit onto your local rebased commit, despite the fact that they contain the same change! Now if you choose to rebase your local changes onto the remote commit, it rebases all the commits that you just merged from master, creating new commits for them. Then pushes them to remote. Then you still can't merge your PR, because it now still doesn't have the original (unrebased) commits from master, because you just rebased them. But you've duplicated a ton of commits. This is a mess.

There are 3 ways around this:

* Replace the first rebase with a merge, merging master into your local branch.

* Replace the second rebase with a merge, from when you pulled remote when you wanted to push, duplicating the one commit you meant to rebase.

* throw away the old PR and create a new one.

The first and third are the good options. The second is bad because it has a duplicate commit, but it's not nearly as bad as when you tried to rebase twice in a row.

Seriously, if stuff gets complicated, throw away your PR. Or avoid it getting complicated by always merging. If you want clean history, your only option is to throw away your PR every time you merge master back into your branch. It's either that or accept extra merge commits.

A dirty shortcut to creating a new PR is to force push. This will throw away the original commit on remote and overwrite it with your new rebased commits. This will work fine as long as nobody has checked out that branch in the mean time. If someone else has checked it out and pushes to your remote branch again, they may still reintroduce the old unrebased commit, and you'll still have that duplicate commit.

I usually just accept extra merge commits. Sometimes I force push, but I really try not to. You have to be sure nobody else is using that branch. In a complicated setup with lots of developers, automated tests and build servers, I'm reluctant to count on that.
Years ago they did snowflake, a distributed ID generation library, that I used. They retired it long ago though.
A reasonable proportion of their marketing and hype is not based on fact. An BBC documentary ("Disclosure") examines some of their claims and finds them baseless marketing "spin", presenting "anti-corporatism" as a brand rather than a reality. But people want to believe...

I don't have the numbers but I would be cautious there. Some US music is listened in other countries, but not all of it. Not everything is easily exportable.

Also there are local musicians popular in each country. And there are musicians from countries other than the US that are international but unknown in the US.

Anyway, Eurovision is quite irrelevant in Europe too :)

Edit... for native English speakers, consider this: there're songs in which the lyrics are more important than music. That kind of music is usually boring if you can't understand what they're saying.

Lobbying is surprisingly cheap. The entire pharma industry spends $5B/year, while the entire fossil fuel industry spends $2B/year[0]. Both have achieved a large degree of control over government decisions affecting them.

Elon could have had his weapons program for $1B. He could have dominated defense spending for a decade for $25B. I don’t think the ROI of this $44B of very indirect investment will compare.

I reckon it takes the market power of an Apple to hold out on proprietary charging ports. Only reason they held out is 1) keep their accessory licensing revenue stream and 2) introduce friction with Android users (see iMessage). Almost no one else has the kind of market power to do that without pissing users off to their detriment.

Aside from Apple, the voluntary standards process was working. No one else was still resisting USB-C. Can you name some examples?

Facebook is dead to me. Censorship. Fake News. Walled garden. It has destroyed so many friendships. Should I ever meet that red haired bastard I'll punch him.

It also reduces supply of many resources (for example noble gases since Ukraine is the world's biggest exporter and Russia is the second), leading to higher prices which Russia would profit from (neon prices went up 600% around 2014).
