That's a good devil's advocate, but it's worth pointing out minor children consent (with parental consent, too) to surgeries all the time. Whether that's cancer treatments, surgeries to repair bone fractures, plastic surgeries, etc.

I believe bottom surgeries are all but unheard of for under 18, but there were 203 top surgeries performed on minors in 2021 (safe to assume vast majority of these were either 16 or 17). In comparison, more than 8,000 minors had breast augmentation in 2019. 4,700 girls had breast reduction surgery in 2010 (apologies, these were the newest numbers I could find, clearly after more than a decade it's reasonable to believe there are more reductions than implants). In 2015, there were 7,021 breast reductions for boys.

It seems to me like if the genuine concern was over minors making decisions about their body that aren't reversible, we would be seeing equal and proportional outrage for these other surgeries, right?

Edit for your edit :) Gender affirming care appears to be what's best for kids according to the majority of research and the major medical associations in the US. The experts certainly could be wrong, but generally speaking I prefer having doctors treating me in a hospital and pilots flying my planes.
The goal of the tax form isn't to help you understand how to minimise your taxes, though? That would be better to put in a separate document.
The US market has been historically different for other reasons.

The big one is liability. In the US the cardholder is rarely liable for fraud charges. Which is why the minutiae of credit card security mechanisms just kind of doesn’t matter to us.

But from my understanding, in Europe and places like India, the cardholder is usually liable. Which also explains why cardholders seem to be a lot more anxious about these things in those countries and don’t really understand how Americans don’t care too much, say, that a waiter can walk off with your credit card at a restaurant.

Not claiming one system is better than the other… actually no, maybe I’m biased but I’m happy that the US system places liability on businesses rather than consumers. Which is why most US customers don’t care about these things and freely use their cards for everything.

We really need to have a reset on law enforcement in this country. I don't think anyone's happy with the police anymore, federal or otherwise.

Wow, would you think it’s possible that there is a correlation between intelligent people and groups which create education, wealth, culture, prosperity, etc.?
I was referring to the crisis in the early 20th century, when the paradoxes and inconsistencies in the foundations of mathematics became too troublesome to ignore. The crisis was eventually resolved, but the mathematics that arose from it was more limited in scope than what earlier mathematicians had hoped. That is usually not a major concern if you work in mathematics, but it was a significant change in the understanding of the nature of truth.

Twitter Keeps Missing Its Advertising Targets as Woes Mount
>>which is something that a lot of foreigners freak out about.

Well yes, we're being told by our banks specifically that if you give anyone your card and they walk away with it, they won't cover you for fraud. The card has to stay in your sight at all times. In fact if you are in EU and you find a business that does this, you can report them to Visa/Mastercard and they will get a warning if not outright lose their terminal.

It’s “simply mismanagement” is a trivial tautology that can be applied to any situation.

Team didn’t deliver? Mismanaged the team. Team failed to deliver because they didn’t do any work? Mismanaged the hiring process. Massive wild fire? Mismanaged forests. Asteroid wipes out all life on Earth? Mismanaged the planetary defense systems. Andor escapes from Narkina 5? Mismanaged imperial prison complex.

I think it would be erroneous to try to apply concepts of micro-level phenomena to macro-level societal events. The levels of abstraction between the two likely turns that low-level ambiguity into background noise.

For example, someone could never logically claim the photons they perceived indicted someone wasn't in front of their gun when they pulled the trigger, while everyone else in the vicinity states they clearly saw the person in front of the gun. There is not enough uncertainty around the behavior of photons for us to consider their explanation as truth.
The necessary issue with gradual decline is that by definition there is never a point where you can definitively say it declined from one moment to the next. If you could, it wouldn't be a gradual decline, it would be a sudden decline.

Secondarily to this, if everywhere is in decline, there's no real way to tell as everything is relatively the same. In this context, HN is still ahead of reddit in terms of quality and content; reddit is still ahead of Facebook. Facebook and reddit however are very different beasts than they were a decade ago, let alone 15 years ago. Has HN had a similar decline as everywhere else? I don't really have a strong opinion on that, but it's a hard point to prove either way.

Personally, as someone that's been lurking HN since about 2010, the only differences that I can see is that HN seems less about startups than it was a decade ago and the comments are shorter and with less implicit good faith. The latter two though are happening everywhere, so I don't think HN is unique in that regard.

As an intellectual exercise, I went to a random date from the front page from 2009 and found someone complaining about Google's tracking and the degeneration of its search results:

This is such a great answer for newer artists to hear, thanks. I love Blender, but have found myself doing most of my voxel modelling in Voxel Max before exporting to Blender for more advanced workflows. I couldn’t really articulate why, but “smaller decision space” feels exactly right.
The title is irrelevant, only one point in the article -- teaching creationism in science classes -- is relevant to secular humanism, which decries religious dogma, and supports separation of church and state.

The rest is purely loaded opines and bigotry. Speaking of which, any reason you accused me of being "hostile" by making a reasoned point, then delete it? Seems rather disingenuous...

I'll be doing AoC in C this year. And I've decided to do that every year as I enjoy doing it in C and trying to get the entire calendar, all 50 parts to run in less than one second on a single core, which it turns out is quite doable, but only with a much deeper understanding of the problems. I end up learning a lot more computer science this way.

I also like it since I don't do any work or even side projects in C these days, and so it's nice to keep my C chops up to scratch.
I thought my new laptop was broken when I noticed this. Certainly this could not have been done intentional. I would close my laptop at night and come back the next morning to find out my battery was dead (and quite hot). Did some Googling and found out this is just how it works nowadays. I then changed my power settings to have my computer go into hibernation when I close the lid.

WTF Microsoft.
ARM was always a bit of a CISC/RISC hybrid. The author of this article actually went into the microprogram engine of the ARM1 in some detail previously here: https://www.righto.com/2016/02/reverse-engineering-arm1-proc...

Even today, I would be shocked if ARM designs weren't partially microcoded as well. Something like the ERET instruction is begging to be.

One of the biggest ways that test code is not production code is that test code is only read by humans when the tests are failing. Whereas any time I'm working on a regular feature I am likely to be looking at log(n) lines of our codebase due to the logic that exists around the code I'm trying to write, and changing loglogn lines of existing code to make it work - if the architecture is good.

Code that is write once read k < 10 times has very different lifecycle expectations than code that is constantly being work hardened.
Dotfiles at Scale
Numbers are tough for everyone.

Most people are incapable of correctly estimating so this should never be left as an exercise to the reader. This also includes using precise numbers where the precision does not matter. For what it is worth, for me pi=3 and pi^2=10.

This is particularly visible when statistical data come to play. It is very easy to misinterpret these numbers, so they should be put in context. Unfortunately this means that they suddenly so to be ready to convey.

Seems unlikely. The performance ratio of native code vs. Python is hundreds of times. The original game targeted roughly 100 MHz CPUs. Computers have gotten faster since 1998, but not that much faster in terms of single-threaded performance, the relevant metric here. I'd guess a python x86 emulator would run at 1/5 to 1/10 the required speed.
Finally, an explanation.

I don't run around enough to care about quick/instant startup. Despite using the Windows 10 Windows menu Power command to "Shut down" my Thinkpad X1C6, I took it out of its bag the following day, on a few not too infrequent occasions, to find it warm and "doing stuff" (Windows Update sticks in my mind). Moreso than a lowered charge, the idea of it cooking itself inside its padded sleeve and bag caused me concern.

After a bit of investigation, I settled on training myself to always open/use a command window to issue "shutdown /s".

No more warm or hot, drained laptop since then.

I agree with Linus: Microsoft's behavior and indifference WRT this problem is reprehensible. For me, it is another example of how Microsoft has not -- fundamentally -- changed since its E3 days. The 900 pound gorilla that we will, per force, accommodate. Amazing how entrenched such cultural mindsets are.

By the way, the X1C6 as configured by Lenovo does not support S3. Since Linus, in his demo of a possible BIOS configuration change, was using a Thinkpad, maybe I'll get lucky with that option -- watch the video to see whether you might have such a fix for your system.
Nah, I didn't brand the author anything of the sort -- I merely raised the point that the type to spout the anti-trans rhetoric in TFA, is often done by religious conservative types.

Perhaps you should read more carefully, and not be so quick to make baseless assumptions and accusations? You could also go look at the secular humanists in the comments who are decrying this as actually being secular humanism to begin with.

> I'm not sure those count as an example of China's design prowess, since those cars aren't designed in China

How about manufacturing prowess then? A number of Volvo/Polestar models are only made in China.

Design is far easier to outsource or hire lead designer from Germany/Switzerland/Italy while bootstrapping talent locally, compared to manufacturing. KIA went this route to good effect by hiring Peter Schreyer.
Yes, the current debate rests on denying the autonomy of teenagers to make decisions about their healthcare. So here we are having a conversation about it, and politicians are whipping up hatred using the topic. According to all other normal standards of care the doctor's duty is to the patient themselves. Not the patient's parents, not the patient's mayor, not the patient's high court. The doctor's duties are to the teenage patients and excluding them from the conversation about their own bodies should strike us all as suspect.

Would you choose addiction over death? I’m talking hard drugs. Bottoms out on the same street that you grew up on, or raised your children on, or worked on.

My point is that the “preventive maintenance” approach to opioid addiction is more about death statistics than it is about death itself. It’s a numbers game. A nation’s response to situations such as this will largely be determined by how many people don’t die, because people have a distaste toward death and the general public is subservient to what data suggests irrespective of its practical and tangible representations.
This looks more like negligence than malice. In order to send the push notification you have to send the content to a server that then gets pushed down through say Apple's Push Notification Service. The doorbell cannot talk directly to your device. The notification contains the image and whatever other text and metadata shown.

I'd imagine that what they mean by "planning to encrypt" this content is to E2EE the content and register a notification extension (something like: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/...) that transforms the content once received by the client.

As most people probably know, E2EE isn't a simple problem to do in a user-friendly way. Perhaps when setting up the app/doorbell the doorbell could have some certificate that the app is aware of that's used for encrypting the data before it leaves the doorbell, and decrypted using the app's private key but this obviously isn't something provided out of the box.

Obviously a warrant could be served to Apple/Google/Eufy for notification content, but I don't take this as being particularly nefarious.

It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if other offline doorbells like Ubiquiti's UniFi line were also affected.

*I should probably mention I wrote this comment after reading a different article/video but didn't catch that their marketing mentioned that everything is E2EE. So yeah, seems like a pretty glaring lie in that regard.
I'd like to think I have some level of willpower and self control, but incremental games like Kittens Game are my kryptonite. There's something so compelling to me about seeing the numbers go up and I don't even fully understand why.

If you enjoy that type of game, I highly recommend Kittens Game as the pinnacle of the genre—especially since it doesn't feature any microtransactions or dark patterns, but be warned: it can be incredibly addicting.
"To scroll through Instagram today is to parse a series of sponsored posts from brands, recommended Reels from people you don’t follow, and the occasional picture from a friend that’s finally surfaced."

I have two Instagram accounts: one that only follows friends and family. Another that follows brands, influencers, and such. It completely fixed my Instagram experience. I can choose the (low volume) social network of friends, or endless scrolling and discovery. Never do they intermix. The friends-only feed is so low traffic, I never get sucked into sponsored or suggested posts. Highly recommend.

If we want electricity in a world without less fossil fuels, I'd say yes.

Yeah, luckily, those exceptions are really rare. Last time one happened to me I wasted three days before finding the culprit.
Ironically a better example of this would your own claim that focuses solely on the crimes of Nazism without any mention of Communist crimes. Since USSR was on the Allied side, Communism never quite turned into the embodiment of evil that Nazism has become. Due to this, today many academics are proud to call themselves Communists, whereas you would be hard-pressed to find any self-proclaimed nazis, at least in the mainstream of academia. All because history is written by the victors.
This seems very strange so maybe the article is leaving something out but if a warrant for X but not Y can still lead to confiscating Y, then what actually limits the power of warrants?

> In their warrant request, the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Kim for permission to seize the store’s racks of safe-deposit boxes for forfeiture, but “not their contents.”

> The warrant request omitted a central part of the FBI’s plan: permanent confiscation of everything inside any box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.

Is the crucial detail that the cash/goods lack any protection under the law? If there was a written and notarized murder confession in a box would that be permissible in court? I thought anything taken/found outside the scope of the warrant would be impermissible. Is the cash now impermissible for prosecuting actual crimes? (i.e. FBI can just keep it and make the owner sue for its return).
I'm pretty sure this is how Windows Subsytem for Linux is implenented.
What the complainers often like to do is hoist variable declarations out of the local scope. So to them having a test suite that uses 1500 in four places is wrong, and up to that point they are perfectly right.

The trick with the constants is that if they are declared and used in the same test scope, then the data is a black box. Nobody else 'sees' it, nobody interacts with it. The only time that's not true is when there's false sharing between unit tests and those tests are fundamentally broken. In that case the magic number is not the problem, it's the forcing function that makes you fix your broken shit.
This is a common delusion from people who want to believe it. Those pictures are all over my timeline all the time, he's doing a bad job banning people who post them.
As I understand it, the Homebase is responsible for the encryption and storage.

That said, I realized I could watch live my doorbell via the app when away. I assumed this would be encrypted somehow, too, but I suppose their findings are that they're not. Bummer.
> That’s like saying you think a server can reject a wrong password on the backend, but it’s faster and fewer packets going back and forth if the client JavaScript just verified the password before sending POST. This is nuts.

I don't think it is nuts. The terminal doing the rejection accounts for the "oops the customer did something wrong" case of swiping the card when the issuer wants them to use chip. It's better to tell the customer this now than run an entire transaction.

But checking on the far end that the transaction meets all of the issuers rule accounts for the fraud case of "someone has maliciously rewritten the magnetic stripe data to try to go around the requirement to insert the card." Since, hopefully, this happens far less often than the first case, it is an acceptable path.
It's illegal to build an apartment building in most lots. R1 Zoning mandates only single family housing be built. Parking minimums are another regulation that mandates that an enormous amount of parking be provided around each building. While easy & free parking is nice this makes an area unwelcoming once you dismount from your car.

There is a market failure in multiple dwelling unit construction. Noise isolation between residences is often low. You can hear your neighbors walking, their stereo systems, etc. That definitely needs to be fixed if more people are to willingly move closer in.
Nice article! I'm a big fan of TeaVM - it's nice to see this coverage.
Given that nuclear power plants are known entities and the list of "unknown unknowns" should be non-existent given their safety critical nature it simply is mismanagement.

If your nuclear plant costs more than $33/MWh to operate then you are doing something wrong and stop trying to blame "the green movement", "privatization" or whatever.
> The primary abusers of women and children are men

This is one reason why many feminists, and others, argue against transwomen sharing female-only spaces. From their point of view, a transwoman is a type of man, due to being male, and being trans isn't a sufficient mitigation.

From a criminality perspective, there are data to support this, which indicate that transwomen as a group have similar patterns of offending to other males. And, worryingly, a higher proportion of sexual offences.

On that latter point, this article by transwoman Debbie Hayton offers some insight as to why this may be: https://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk/resources/prison-service-...
The fact that they are indeed cloud-based is why this story has been blowing up and making quite a few people upset.

The reality is, even if the cameras are not configured to save video to Eufy's cloud service, thumbnails are still transmitted to Eufy for the purpose of facilitating push notifications (confirmed by Eufy), and the researcher who discovered this claims to have found a way to access camera feeds without authentication as well (this is not confirmed, and one of the most questionable claims).

I own several of these cameras but have them configured as HomeKit devices, and while I'm not terribly concerned about the transmission of thumbnails since this is the name of the game if you want a preview in a push notification, I've always felt a little weird about the fact that these cameras require a Eufy account to configure, and you can access the live streams by logging into that account, even after the cameras have been configured as HomeKit cameras.
If you want a truly local camera system with all the fancy features, check out Home Assistant (homeassistant.io) and Frigate (https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate).
