News about Tesla's security seems vaguely wanting, I do not know what this .gitignore file is about, but it is quite alarming enough to draw conclusions from.
> If you have to use GCP, use a burner account

Does that actually help? Don't they collect enough of your data to be able to correlate accounts?
Thanks for this. The pattern is useful for much more and sure beats pushing ad-hoc 3rd-party-relinked binaries to production containers.

Then again, why not scp the file to local? Bandwidth usage isn’t good for the environment.
Importantly it's a decision made as a solo developer at a tiny company. Otherwise it's not like there are any Nim jobs out there, or any serious mindshare/momentum, or significant investment from big companies.
Doesn't Google famously link accounts that have ever had anything to do with each other, and ban them as a group? I recall some businesses getting their play store accounts banned because some dev did sketchy stuff separately, or the other way around.
I don't think there's any benefit in spamming HN. There aren't that many users in here, and it could lead to a backlash consider the technical expertise of most people.
> Such a shame that they never sold it separately.

Well, they sold the controversial LG 5K, which was the same panel, but certainly not the same build quality. I've got one, and it's... fine, and for a very long time was literally the only 5K monitor you could buy, but for the price it is not a well-built piece of kit. (And the first two versions had weird bugs)

They now (nearly a decade later) finally sell a fully first-party one, which is very similar.
It is not a simple to answer question. If you want to know whether there is a binary string that hashes to a particular value, it may be that the only way to prove that one exists is to keep testing strings until you find one that hashes to the correct value. And if it turns out that no such string exists, that may be impossible to prove. You can in principle prove that no such string below some particular finite length exists, but it could well be impossible to prove that no such string of any length exists.
I figure it's probably not typical but I disable every single piece of tracking possible and disallow any external cloud storage on every device I have. I just don't actually have a need to give Google thousands of my photographs and access to every piece of my personal history. The benefit would be marginal and the cost is unlikely but potentially catastrophic. (And seemingly more likely every year). Every new device I get I go through every setting and turn off all the new bullshit they've put in to steal my privacy, because they do constantly add to the attack surface.
re:VSCode; There pretty much already is one, looks fairly similar formatting too: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...
So, basically if I have disabled cloud backups in google photos, this shouldn't affect me right?
I'm getting some juicy offers from small tech so I agree.
biggest con of Nim - no one uses it, so you will probably hit a toolchain/compiler error which will be very frustrating

too similar to Go to not go with the 100x community size Go brings with it
For a while in Wellington NZ you'd see people walking around with Jackets saying 'Gore Techs' on the back. They were special effects people from Weta Workshops working on the Lord of the Rings films
Is that a standard now? Who's going to tell the guys using .well-known?
For now they don't scan the contents of your phone, yes. If that changes, potentially no.
I like the simplicity and pragmatism of using drupal. I wouldn’t work with it myself but it was probably the cheapest/fastest way to get a similar site up and running
Perhaps, but better safe than sorry. If you had a small business and relied on Google Workspace, the damage for one mistake like this could be incalculable.

Imagine losing your contacts, your photos, your emails with clients, your cloud setup… because you had the humanity to take care of your child.

It is impossible to underestimate Google now.
imagine what happens if you use google's domain registrar services.

even if you were to run a domain name zonefile that pointed its MX at something non-google and had zero A records or CNAMEs pointing at things hosted on GCP, you'd still risk being unable to login or admin your domain.
> extremely overpriced tiering (e.g. adding storage or RAM

As I understand it, Apple uses a "system in a package" multi chip module that mounts RAM inside the same package as the main M1/M2 SoC.

Seems to work well in terms of memory bandwidth, unified memory architecture, and physical size, but it's hard to crack that SIP/MCM open to add more RAM.

And it's even harder to add RAM to an SoC die itself. And the GPU is integrated as well (although in theory one could connect an eGPU over Thunderbolt - assuming the driver issues could be sorted out somehow.)

Some old Macs from the 1990s included an external L2 cache SRAM slot. But cache RAM upgrades became impossible once the L2 cache was integrated on the CPU die.
Using one of the many JS editors in something like codepen.io works well:

Worth noting that the right wing political streamer SneakO, who comes from an extremely misogynistic and vitriolic part of the Manosphere community, also announced on a stream recently that he had big news relating to Fuentes. It's possible Ye is considering coming on his stream.

Here's the clip of his vague hinting: https://youtu.be/34gxHxmrS2Y

It's in the lingo of this particular community, when he says "can I get Ws in the chat" he means this is a huge win, and when he says "this will make the groipers really happy" he's referring to followers of Fuentes.
I wish we had a portable email address format, like phone numbers are, instead of being inherently tied to a provider.

> Mark did not remember this video and no longer had access to it, but he said it sounded like a private moment he would have been inspired to capture, not realizing it would ever be viewed or judged by anyone else.

Recontextualisation is one hell of a drug.
As others have mentioned, this is not often a problem because routing is normally fairly stable (at least compared to the lifetime of a typical connection). For longer lived connections (e.g. video uploads), it’s more of a problem.

Also, there are a fair number of ASes that attempt to load balance traffic between multiple peering points, without hashing (or only using the src/dst address and not the port). This will also cause the problem you described.

In practice it’s possible to handle this by keeping track of where the connections for an IP address typically ingress and sending packets there instead of handling them locally. Again, since it’s a few ASes that cause problems for typical connections, is also possible to figure out which IP prefixes experience the most instability and only turn on this overlay for them.
Many NSW beach BBQs are gas AFAIK. I guess this is because buried high voltage infrastructure costs more to install to remote locations than an occasional gas bottle change.

> we only have one side of the story here

In real court, if you don't show up to tell your side of the story, you're considered to be in the wrong by default. Why should the court of public opinion be any different, when Google has had the chance to tell their side but chose not to?
I don't think I'm getting my point across.

First of all: It certainly is my own cup of tea; Like I said, I play lots of video games myself.

On a societal level I'd say there are basically two reasons why I think video games might be a worse pastime than the older ones. First it's that you are more likely to spend "too much" time on video games because they are more addictive, you don't really get tired and you can do them at basically any time. Second it's that I think video games is a lower value way to spend your time. Sure, you might improve a bit at problem solving, but I think the value per unit of time spent is still very low. I even think this might come at a cost because really figuring out/performing well in a game can be very mentally taxing at the expense of more productive use of that mental capacity.

These two points apply to the examples you mentioned as well: reading news and talking on social media. I'm not saying video games is the only bad hobby. Apropos Ted Kaczynski, it might be tempting to say that most "post industrial" hobbies are the bad ones.

Lastly, I'm not talking about "forcing people". Even if choosing video games as a hobby is a bad idea then people (including me) are free to make bad choices.
If so, treat everything that Google offers as ephemeral. They deserve no additional respect.
Legacy doesn't always mean bad. It may have an older architecture or have some constraints that aren't always a problem. I work a few different product designs but they almost all come from a legacy product. It's not a bad legacy design, it does what it's supposed to within the environment it was designed for. Customers still buy the legacy design. It's cheaper and doesn't have the flexibility or add-on features of the newer designs so if they don't want them or can't use them, they'll buy the legacy product.
You all are cringe. Anyone working in tech knows that most marketing sites are made by third parties, likely some WordPress shop. The hatred for Elon on this site is ridiculous.
BCP38 has gotten some traction, but it's not super effective until all the major tier-1 ISPs enforce it against their customers. But it's hard to pressure tier-1 ISPs; you can't drop connections with them, because they're too useful, anyway if you did, the traffic would just flow through another tier-1 ISPs, because it's not really realistic for tier-1s to prefix filter peerings between themselves. Anyway, the customer that's spoofing could be spoofing sources their ISP legitimagely handles, and there's a lot of those.

Some tier-1s do follow BCP38 though, so one day maybe? Still, there's plenty of abuse to be done without spoofing, so while it would be an improvement, it wouldn't usher in an era of no abuse.
It’s because unit testing is hard and most OSS devs are wankers.
> Very condescending for someone who is deeply mistaken.

You pointed out other human rights violations in the world, even though I never claimed that human rights violations only take place in Qatar. You failed to mention what is it that I am "deeply mistaken" about.

I also did not advocate for the OP to be forced or prevented from doing anything. I encourage them to use their nice skills on something that does not help further the agenda of oppressive regimes, but that is my view and opinion. The only person here who seems to want to impose anything on others is you, by appealing to site rules in an attempt to silence me.

I decide where I draw the line, not you.
I don't know which country you had in mind, but I was talking about Russia. Voting and "civic engagement" have ceased to mean anything there long before this year.
John Steven has a quote I quite like: "QA is making sure your software does what it's supposed to. Security is making sure your software only does what it's supposed to."

I think this is the lens the OP wanted readers to view this post through.
Not sure why the reply got downvoted. Ghadafi tried to switch to the gold standard. America isn't backed by gold so it's a threat.
Thanks for the reminder.

Wife and I take a lot of photos of our newborn, including in the bath. We think nothing of it, but probably worth figuring out a digital plan.
LOL, why, just wow.
We have one side of the story because the other side (huge corporation) didn’t give any information and decided to keep ban. No transparency there.

Ps. This “we will never really know” is triggered me. This phrase used by Russian propaganda when they got caught in crimes every damn time.
Anecdotal, but I know somebody who got their personal Google account blocked and then the company they work for GCP account blocked just because their names "looked" the same as somebody else's on the sanction list, even though it was a different person. I'm not sure they ever got the personal one back.

> How do you imagine your laptop expressing a request in a way that it makes it through to the right machine? Doing a traceroute to amazon.com, I count 26 devices between me and it. How will those devices know which physical connection to pass the request over?

That's my whole point. You're thinking of it from an IP perspective where there are individual devices in some chain and they all need to autonomously figure out a path from my laptop to AWS. The reality is every device between me and AWS is owned by my ISP. They know exactly which physical path ahead of time will get a message from my laptop to AWS. So why waste all the time on the IP abstraction?

> I also have questions about your notion of "centralization". Are you saying that Google, Microsoft, and other cloud vendors should just... give up and hand their business to AWS?

AWS is just an example. Realistically a huge amount of traffic on the internet is going to 6 places and my ISP already has direct physical connections to those places. Maintaining this complex and byzantine abstraction to figure out how to get a message from my laptop to compute in those companies' infrastructure should not be necessary.

And in general the more important part is within AWS' (or Microsoft's or enterprise X's) network why waste time on IP when the network owner knows exactly which host every compute process is running on?

Instead of thinking of an enterprise network as a set of autonomous hosts that need to figure out a path between each other think of it as a set of processes running on the same OS (the virtual infrastructure). Linux doesn't need to do BGP to figure out how to connect two processes so why does your network?

We actually have some great evidence that psychedelics are very effective at treating mental illness. See [1] for a meta-analysis. Nothing has reached phase 3 clinical trials, but MDMA is on its way [2].

If you look at the addendum, which goes through all the studies, I'm pretty candid about how horribly underpowered most of them are. My main goal with this article is to convince folks that this is a promising line of research, and we should be doing more to explore it.

But also yeah...kind of a clickbaity headline.

GCP is so awful to deal with directly their sales people ghost you after you submit your LLC info to raise limits. Then the sales person you were working with initially gets sacked, and weeks later a new one comes on board and tries to pick up where you left off again.

This is always true, and a fundamental reason why free societies adopted the notion of open courts: to ensure that all sides of the story are known and innocent people don't suffer based on ifs and maybes.
> All financial markets participate in sanctions

You're using the law of averages. Not all financial markets participate in the same sanctions to the same extent at the same time, which means that the decision about where to invest can be important.

> taking this absolute stance

You're the one characterizing this as an absolute stance, rather than a practical stance related to the current condition of the markets of the most powerful country that demands the most sanctions.

Definitely agree there's not much in the way of going from idea to business. I'd love to read this sort of thing too.

There's a little bit of this on the Valhalla blog[1] IIRC (great reading if you're into DSP tech). You might also find pieces of insight by looking at some of the hackaday posts or by looking at some of the DIY Synth groups on facebook etc. There's definitely some interesting stories there of Kickstarters that over-promise and under-deliver (late/buggy/etc), ISLA Kordbot[2] springs to mind as an example that was a long wait, as well as some darlings like the Oxi One[3]. Perhaps reading Kickstarter comments and the associated forum posts could be a viable strategy for getting more into this field.

You're lucky that you have a foot in the door with lucidity. There are ways to modulate that feeling so it's more productive, and doesn't leave you feeling exhausted. I'd encourage you to experiment with different ways of interacting with the dream world to see what works best for you.
A day after my rant:

I noticed that I still use Panic Software's "Coda" on my 10-year-old iPad 4, and the terminal, editor, and keyboard design choices are the best I've found for iOS.

And that said, I wanted to call out that on Android, the Termux environment is native, local Linux (userland on Android). I use it for SSH, sure, but I also use it for everything else. Last night I tried some Zsh, FORTRAN, GCC, and Python. All on-device. Performance on my cheap Kindle Fire HD is actually better experience than attempting to use a web browser. Android is old; newer versions may restrict Termux functionality.
Everyone's using AI, and widely. I sell stuff online and sync a product feed to Facebook. Products often get banned based on image analysis. Sometimes it is reasonably close, eg darts getting classified as dangerous weapons, other times sneakers get that classification.

If I appeal, it usually gets overturned, but sometimes sneakers get confirmed as weapons after review. There seems to be no image history; when a previously whitelisted product gets imported again (with a minor change in description or something), it may get classified as weapon again.

Needless to say, my ad spend is now zero and I expect my account to get banned any moment.

Fuzzy AI-based image analysis is OK for things like extracting roof shapes from aerial images, but seems totally inadequate for moderation, because it lacks nuance and context.
You're going to have to start using your GCP like it's a freedom fighting session. Never used from the same public wifi. Don't use a public wifi within xDistance from your house. Only interact with GCP from a freshly spun up VM/Tails boot/etc. If no available wifi access, only use a mobile hotspot that is prepaid in cash where the burner was bought by someone else (so their shiny mugs are on the security camera), buy that burner in a different town, and all the other paranoid things to safe in a hostile world.

There is. The Android camera app has a button on the top-right corner that lets you quickly switch between saving to "photo storage" or "locked folder". If you pick "locked folder", it saves it to a special folder that isn't backed up to the cloud and requires a screen lock to open.

Unlike what OP says Nostr relays are not dumb, they can have their own policies and to me they look like a better version of Mastodon servers. They can have identities, "themes" and policies as they wish. On Nostr it's totally fine for one relay to only allow certain kinds of content and block everything else. Users can just connect to multiple relays if they want to read/write about different things.

You're not wrong. And I think for very small businesses this is fine, maybe even necessary.

I guess I'm talking about one step above that, for example when a business grows beyond a single shop with just a couple of staff. At this point the you'll have an accountant and pos software and so on and inaccurately reporting stock or sales would actually take quite a bit of effort. Your staff would have to be in on it, for example. And staff that know you are dishonest are more likely to decide that they can be dishonest too, after all if the business is cheating the government surely it's ok if they cheat the business just a little bit? Overall I think it's not worth it and it's not the kind of business we want to run. I'd rather find extra efficiency elsewhere.
That's true of the 3-layer designs (the inner layer is goretex but the outer protective layer can soak through eventually). There are newer products that are only two layers and goretex is the outer layer (under the "Shakedry" brand). Those don't have an outer fabric to saturate with water, so they stay breathable better.
Sure, you can implement the primitives by just passing through to the host runtime if you want, but you still have to parse the source and walk the AST first.
Yep using that material makes the breathability suffer. No comparison to other water restiant materials which are worse. If I were in your region I would not buy water restiant shoes to begin with.
