> If companies don't properly salt passwords, then uniqueness and length became an issue again.

Yes, that is my point. You are relying on the website to properly transmit, store, and (not) log your password.

If you do not use unique passwords, then a lapse in those practices at any site sharing the same password could compromise that password across every site you use it on.

If you type that password into an untrusted device, it could also be compromised for every site you use that password on.

With private key authentication the website never gets your private key so they can’t compromise it even if they have bad practices.
Can you tell us more about Swiss neutrality in the context of Russia/Ukraine? All I've heard is that the Swiss are blocking Germany from supplying Gepard 35mm ammunition to Ukraine. Does this mean that the Swiss favor Russia?
You are not locked in. You can create a passkey in ios, on an android phone and on your desktop for the same website.

This is going to accelerate the adoption of WebAuthn across sites on the internet. I consider that to be very good. You can benefit from the better security that your accounts will get from WebAuthn without ever using a synchronizing passkey.

I disagree. A lot of Korean viewers never even touched the ranked online multiplayer when BW was mainstream esports. Heck even my dad watched it.
Different constraints. Better cooling allows the processor to throttle less and achieve higher average performance, which incidentally would also reduce your battery life if you had the processor running at 100% load the whole time.

I've had the fortune of checking out a few rammed earth structures around BC, Canada (there is a cool fence/wall built with it within a property on Saltspring Island, a winery's sales building on Hornby Island, an amazing example in Osoyoos[1], and many more) and I agree, it's really beautiful.

If I have the opportunity I'll almost certainly use it to build a home in the future. I'm always excited when I see buildings using it. Well done rammed earth walls are absolutely stunning when finished properly.

> I don't understand. You're just denying that, before machine translation worked well, some people translated their websites into more than one language? Not many, but some did.

No, I'm not. If the website was in a foreign language, I couldn't read it. If it had been translated, it was no longer only a foreign language website.

> Maybe the economic net benefit correlates to a societal net benefit, but that doesn't mean everybody has to be happy about the losses.

The reason this confuses me is that it seems extremely obvious that there is a massive net benefit. I can actually read foreign news from even the smallest website which never had the resources to translate. I can read foreign forums and subreddits discussing local politics - there's no universe in which anyone would've hired anyone to translate forum posts...

It's just patently ridiculous that machine translation might NOT be a net benefit.
I think it's more like: everyone is aware how lengthy a process it is to replace them.

A million (Dollars, Euros, etc) is not that much these days, especially in the context of the real estate prices that the article mentions:

90 Euros per square meter per month - for 100 m^2 (small) that's 9000 Euros/month

70,000 Euros per m^2 to buy - 7 million Euros for a small 100 m^2 condo

It sounds like a person with a net worth of 1 million Euros would be forever unable to buy anything, and spending a small fortune for rent.

agreed. I am just saying, if someone can abuse stars action and be banned for it, what "legitimate" usecase is there in the first place otherwise?

So if this action was allowed by github, how is that a banable offense if someone gets overzealous with it?

Let's not let numbers, humanity and sound judgement get in the way of a good conspiracy yarn.
IRC generally has no barriers to account registration while Twitter generally requires a phone number. In the former bans are meaningless, in the latter they pose in an insurmountable hurdle to all but organized and funded campaigns. The real problem with shadowbans is "us" - humans. Shadowbans are a great tool for helping to minimize the impact of things like literal spammers and scammers, but it's also a tool that's great for minimizing political dissent, creating false impressions of the popularity (or not) of various concepts, or generally grossly manipulating and distorting public discourse.

As public online discourse becomes a more engrained part of normal society, shadowbans may even end up being an action that, in and of itself, end up being regulated and controlled. Shadowbans can help create a better and freer society for everybody, but they can also be used to create a dystopia. In some ways it's akin to a real world weapon. A firearm can be used to uphold and protected great values, but it can also be used to impose horrific ones.
Online platforms should not be allowed to moderate content according to whim or unwritten bias.

If a piece of content is moderated, it should remain in place and be clearly labeled with an explanation from the TOS.

Exceptions: If the moderated content is spam it can be collapsed. If it's illegal, it can be removed.
I don't understand that proposal. Compilers can already add (and already have added) a flag to auto-initialize variables (-ftrivial-auto-var-init?) if they want to... so why isn't that the end of the story? It's one thing to say "all variables must be auto-initialized" (which can doesn't need this proposal, as compilers can already do it), and I can understand that. But it's another thing entirely to say "programs should be able to depend on the auto-initialized value", which is what this proposal seems to be actually asking for. That's asking for an explicit language feature to be made implicit, and it's orthogonal to the security issue it's claiming to address. Why?

The diagram is misleading. The use case seems to be to directly vent air from the device which already has a passive cooling design. Drawing that air from near the chip maximizes the temperature delta and thus efficiency.

Early in my career, I worked at a newspaper. Pages were laid out by literally cutting pieces of paper and gluing them (with semi-adhesive wax) onto big sheets of paper. Sometimes on a backlit table, so you could see what the camera would see. Then it was shot with a huge camera. The remainder of the process was messy and entirely mechanical.

“Desktop publishing” changed ALL of that.

And now, we just call it “print.”

Postscript’s contribution to this transformation can hardly be overstated. To have a language for describing a printed page that could be exchanged between all the disparate systems of the 90s, …it was a revolution.

I recall a couple of things from 34 years ago:

- If you used Micronet (a part within the broader Prestel system) between midnight and 8am, you weren't charged for the phone call [I guess this was easy to implement because BT ran both Prestel/Micronet and the phone system)

- The phone number for 'The Gnome at Home' BBS was 888-8894

- A kind person I met on a BBS sent me a cassette in the mail that had software to upload data at 1200 baud (half duplex, as the modem couldn't do 1200/1200).
I don't know the inner working of chatgpt, but my best guess would be that they use something like Levenshtein distance on word to match to the nearest known word to reduce the space of known words and to accommodate to typos.

When it replied to you, it took the exact extract from the input that is between quotes but internally it is mapped to "consequences" closest word to "consequence," if we consider the comma as any character.
I have had the exact opposite experience, and maps also generally seems to have trouble accurately determining location compared to waze. Last few years, maps tends to suggest routes that might shave a few seconds if you never needed to stop to make turns, but otherwise end up being much slower, not to mention have many more traffic flow changes to manouver through. Maps also frequently places me on adjacent or cross streets to where I'm driving, whereas waze actually seems to realize that no, I did not just jump my car up a 20 foot berm and over a sound barrier to drive down a parallel road.
Why was Gemini, in my understanding as a fully US-compliant financial services company, able to offer such junk bonds/investments to retail investors?

I understand that FTX/Celsius/whatever else was in a legal gray area because they weren’t offering what would be illegal financial products to US-based customers (hence FTX US as a separate company), but has the SEC really not made any judgements or strict “guidance” to US-based crypto companies regarding what are essentially junk CDs? Especially since we’ve seen time and time again now these advertised APRs are not sustainable and border on willful false advertising if not outright fraud. Certainly the SEC knows that?
An app that manages your stars and repos in some manner can be completely legitimately. Imagine perhaps an app that shows you some concise, curated list of what you frequently use but haven't starred and gives you the option to star them. Or imagine an alternative GitHub UI that just generally replaced all of the features of the default UI, including starring and unstarring.

Most apps don't need that permission, which is why it's called out as an explicit special permission that apps need to ask for, which in this case it probably did. If you find a good way to make sure that nobody's going to just mindlessly click through a big list of permissions, I'd love to hear it because it's a real problem. But not letting apps do those things at all is a really heavy-handed solution.

Ask HN: Is it shooting myself in the foot to use Go for back end business logic?
I have tried to use Golang to write a business logic application backend, it looked like a cool kid and easy to learn language, but I'm beginning to realise that it may not be the best use for Go, when well-established languages like Java or .NET exist. I appreciate that Go is a lightweight language which doesn't require a full blown IDE to write code, but that's about it. Performance-wise [0], library-wise, it looks like Kotlin / Java / .NET would provide much more productive and entreprise-level tools. Writing Go code wasn't even that enjoyable, it felt like I was reinventing the wheel for many things with a language that is not very expressive (no algebraic types, no ternary, no optional arguments etc.)

If you were to write backend code for a startup or anything bigger than a sideproject, but not for system programming / infrastructure stuff, is there a case to be made to use Go over Kotlin / Java / .NET ? Is Go used in any large-scale business applications projects ?

In general, this made me wonder what kind of use cases exactly is Go targeting? For business logic, the Java / .NET ecosystem seems more mature, for system programming and low-level stuff, Rust is safer and more powerful

Places like this are a good reason we need global tax minimums agreements.

US is driving this currently at corporate level, which is the more important, but would be good to see on personal rates too. I think this is one of the most important global trade issues today, and it gets very little attention.

If only selfishly, as we see the a continuing race to the bottom on corporate tax rates. Also that they tend to be well below personal rates these days plus this gap widening. Increasingly this tax burden needs to be picked up from citizens. I suspect this is a significant variable of the degrading working/middle class lifestyle.

Would love to see more countries come together on this issue. Most of the time its significantly in the wests interest to make this happen, so shows that the corporate lobby has so much power here in that it doesn't. And generally its important for global trade to compete on a level playing field or we start to break the system and interest in it.

> Epic’s Fortnite was massively profitable before mobile ports came around.

Massively profitable isn't enough when you could be ... supermassively profitable!

> Most companies are balking at a 30% surcharge on everything purchased for essentially app reviewing and listing in a store

That's probably why Fortnite is not available on Google Play or in the Nintendo eShop. Few companies are willing to pay Google's or Nintendo's platform fees.
I think the point is that it becomes malicious, rather than starting out that way.
Are you sure? Because last time I went to Target, they had a literal “bargain bin” of mainstream BluRay disks. i am talking dollars for a mainstream blockbuster. Maybe you should focus on convincing “the masses” that they should pay per game, because if the market is any indication, people prefer a fixed cost subscription service.

It’s okay, it isn’t the first time that the interests of “the market” are in opposition to one’s values and it won’t be the last.

Most people don’t have the same values as you seem to have. That doesn’t mean that either are wrong, but it does mean you might be tilting at the wrong windmill

There are philosophy of math books like Joel David Hampkins. But given the breath of your question you might be better served by just a general philosophy text. Like something covering an introduction to metaphysics or even better 'philosophical logic'.

A more rigorous approach would be to study mathematics as mathematics (and not through traditional philosophy). In that case you would have to go down the path of mathematical logic, proof theory and model theory. Then after that fall into a pure theoretical CS / metamathematical rabbit hole.

A good intro to formal logic is "forallx". The key to truth in logic being the concept of tautology.

There is also the cognitive linguistics approach of focusing on the genesis of these abstractions from underlying metaphors. There is a famous book by George Lakoff on this subject.

More generally my favorite wider contextualization of the subject of reason, meaning and formalism (though it might seem distant and antiquated) is C S Peirce and his triadic approach to meaning and philosophy.

I have a very simple article on communication, reason and philosophical logic that gets across this triadic perspective to seeing these things: https://medium.com/the-sphinx/what-is-meant-by-a-reason-part...
