I mean, if you're going so far as to set up git as a tor service, it probably isn't that much more work to obfuscate or just delete user info from commits.

But I'm not sure a vcs is what you'd want anyway. It might make more sense to just host a zip of the most recent branch state instead of exposing the history
The ones that commit tax fraud
So far, nobody needs a permit to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. You can harvest it without license, at any scale. Building a power line, possibly across international borders, is a logistical and bureaucratic nightmare.
The thing is, democracy hasn't demonstrated that it can combat private interests.

If private interests can't operate outside the country's border, then these people have the money to simply manipulate the media, the politicians and therefore the policies and democracy itself to suit them.

I don't believe these mitigations are fixable, they are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how people actually write exploits and what attackers are capable of. The issue is that it is extremely hard to try and limit what an attacker can do once they already have code execution in a process. There is a reason why most low level exploit mitigations apply before this point--once they have code execution, it's largely a lost cause to try and protect the integrity of the compromised process. The way we mitigate after code execution is by taking a step up and using things like sandboxing to try and prevent the compromise from impacting the rest of the system.

Also, I don't think it is quite right of you to be miffed that people aren't writing exploit PoCs to prove these mitigations are moot. These mitigations are trivially wrong to anyone who has any experience with exploit development, and being told to "show proof then" is baffling. It's like trying to explain to your uncle that no, vaccines will not make your child autistic, and him demanding proof. Obviously, that's neither how autism or vaccines work and trying to demonstrate that takes significantly more effort than most anyone cares to put in to a random (internet) argument. But, I am a fool who has too much time, so I'll bite.

Of course they’re different. But so what? That’s not exactly proof of anything, unless you’re suggestion biological neurons are the only configuration in the universe capable of thought? Maybe that’s true, but it seems unlikely to me.

The pressure of natural selection can lead to the phenomenon of consciousness. Why not the process of training llms? Perhaps developing the machine equivalent of consciousness helps that particular configuration of weights survive the otherwise destructive process of gradient descent.
I'm not sure in a modern society why I would pull out $10k from my bank account to then pay a person $10k cash for a second hand car, so the answer is no.

Well I'm sorry, I didn't realize English isn't your first language, but I should have been cognizant of this possibility. (In my language community, it's more commonly used to mean "a cause of mental or bodily pain, as sickness, loss, calamity, or persecution." I think even this is broader than I generally hear it, it's rare that I don't hear affliction refer to a disease.) You also said they were "hysterical", which, unless you're using a quite different usage, generally refers to someone's mental health & their inability to manage their emotions; not something we should say about someone because they took the risk to share a painful experience in public.

TIt is common to dismiss someone discussing something they care about, on the grounds that they care about it; they created this account to talk about Musk, so we shouldn't be surprised that's what they're doing. They related something painful, so we shouldn't be surprised it upset them. None of this should be held against them or discredit them.

If you were in there shoes, and assuming everything they said was true - is there really a different way that you would have expressed it?
My typical month I pull about $2k from the ATM. Some months I pull as much as $8k in a single day from the ATM when dealing with larger purchases. I've been doing that for years.

Then again, my ATM withdrawals are in another country, so maybe it's treated differently since it looks like a remittance.
that isn't laundering money. Laundering money is when you take black market money and try to turn it into white market money. The conversation you hold up as a straw man to mock this legislation is taking black market money and transitioning it into: black market money.
It is not about liar. The owner of the web site is probably nice and all these things. Some social proof (LinkedIn, address etc) is really needed. I always check LinkedIn’s to see where that person worked, what does it do, etc. Not a good test but it is better than nothing.

But on the other hand, the owner can be NK. Or what if it gets taken over by NK? Or what if somebody starts claiming that they were running this business and it was hijacked?
Because of course it's a scam when you step back and see how all the pieces fit together. But when the victim is in the middle, they're being confused in a lot of ways:

* The scammer keeps the focus on the upsides (job, office supplies) which are good but not unrealistic.

* The scammer is keeping the victim overwhelmed with interviews, paperwork, training, etc. The actual scam part is a small percentage of the victim's focus. This is classic misdirection.

* The scammer gets the victim to commit a lot of time and energy. Loss aversion and social norms stops people calling out slightly suspicious activity immediately.

* The big one is that the scammer drip feeds pieces so that the victim doesn't see the big picture. It's not like the scammer lays out the scheme on day one. They start with the company providing supplies (not suspicious), bureaucratic fumbling meaning the process changes (understandable), the new hire submitting the order themselves (ok), etc. Each step is logical and only slightly peculiar in isolation. Once the victim is comfortable with each step they are fed the next lie.

The last one works because even if people are suspicious of new information, once they've decided something is true they rarely reconsider their position. In this case the scammer got the victim to believe that the job was real, and the scammer was a legitimate HR person before introducing the scam element. If you believe the company is real, why would you imagine the check is fake? If you truly believe the check is real, how does the transfer risk your own money? They build a foundation of trust by layering a lot of little lies.
Yup, this shock comes from the wrong idea of money as some kind of a physical object that you obtain by performing work, whereas it's more of a different name for debt. It's a social construct. Also, you absolutely do not need any kind of banks for this to emerge, in fact it's pretty much inevitable unless you always barter (for other goods or so called "hard currencies" like gold) and do so immediately. Immediacy is surprisingly important too.
You have the dwe printer, which is clearly marked as requiring HP+:

The alternative dw printer is not marked as such but is over twice as expensive.

I hate printers as much as the next person but in this case it's pretty clear what folks are getting into.

negative rates are stupid and make no sense.

all fiat currencies have number-go-down technology. look at a graph of purchasing power vs time for any fiat currency. It always trends towards zero.

start using a currency with number-go-up technology. look at a graph of bitcoin. instead of going down, the number goes up. you should adopt this type of currency.

I am aware this sounds stupid. I am also 100% convinced that it is true.

What would be the point in having large amounts of valuable Monero if you could never use it properly?

“The tolerances are very tight,” Ruiz said. “When you’re moving a box from here to there, if you’re off an inch it’s probably fine. But our images cannot be off by more than eighty-five microns”—a third of a thousandth of an inch—“or else they’ll be fuzzy.”
That whole bit caused me to rethink the fiscal transfers between regions in the US. So California sends a bunch of money to the feds who turn around an give some to Mississippi? Okay fine because that's way better than what the EU did to the schmucks living in Greece. Or if the banks fail in Texas it's the FED that's not on the hook not random Texans.

The underlying thing is in the US states give up being able to use monetary policy to balance trade. In return the Fed's backstop a lot of stuff and transfer money around. Overall that's fair.

In the EU states give up being able to use monetary policy to balance trade. In return no fiscal transfers. And the EU backstop's French and German banks by squeezing poorer states. That's not fair at all.
The fight against air travel
I really wonder what will happen if flightshaming continues and starts to have an impact.

I work in a travel heavy industry (semiconductors) and the first year and a half where only the bare minimum of folks travelled (getting engineers into Korea & Taiwan in 2020/2021 was interesting) productivity noticeably plummeted.

Not only that though, international teams became openly more hostile towards each other and retreated into their national, culturally familiar shell.

The Taiwanese became way more sceptical of the Americans. The Americans started to openly disdain the Europeans and everybody shittalked the Chinese and Japanese („They are lying about their numbers Anyways.“)

My thesis: the danger of international conflict rises and the ability to cooperate in humanities interest sinks linearly with the decrease of international travel.

Since many countries can visit each other only via airplane (unless we start researching international HSR & get back ocean liners ^_^), we need more international travel where there is no HSR alternative (Europe only).
The four extra stations in the Bronx can't be hooked up to Grand Central - they are along the line that runs into Penn Station, and for folks in that area of the Bronx, walking to the station and then taking a slow local train into Manhattan is extremely slow. You could possibly have 25k-50k new daily passangers who can now get to Manhattan far faster.
--
Penn Station is like a 15 minute walk from Grand Central, and it's not underground. Commuters from Connecticut can now go directly to Penn Station as there are a ton of office buildings in the area, including all of new office space Hudson Yards and the planned redevelopment of Penn Station. While return to office is low in tech, Finance and Law seem to be returning to 100% in office, and so there is a chance that will create real time savings and generate a postive ROI over say 100 years.

You don’t need carbon for fertilizer. Hydrogen is harvested from methane which is added to atmospheric nitrogen to make ammonia, the basis for all nitrogen compounds used for fertilizers. You can change the process slightly to use other sources of hydrogen but they’re considerably more expensive. If you were synthesizing anyway, you would not take a detour to methane.
Isn't any kind of fabric production still pretty high tech? It feels a little dismissive to call it super high tech in the past tense.

Tbh his excuses about not properly counting sales tax to me just sound weird. if you have a business you need to hire someone who has expertise in this area if you grow to the size where it matters.

Meanwhile the rest of hn is ready to jump on the “I hate the government, it’s so dumb” bandwagon when it’s actually really hard to create a system that works as well as it does. I think it should be simpler and clearer for everyone but it’s a hard problem.

Show HN: A new way to build user interfaces
This doesn't apply to most EU countries. (Nuance: I'm not well versed in the legal system of countries part of the Bucharest Nine group, hence my "most")

In most of the EU, buying land and houses is done through a notary services. Depending on the country, you either do a SEPA transfer directly to the notary, and they then send it to the other party. Or, in other countries, you do the SEPA transfer to the other party, and then the notary approves the ownership-transfer once both parties confirm the money-transfer is complete.

Estate ownership is not proved by a piece of paper like with American "titles", they're backed with government-kept records, which only a notary can change. (and that's what you pay them for, in addition to taxes)

Nothing is happening in cash, because many EU governments want to be able to follow the money used to buy estate. Notaries usually report the transfer to the tax authorities. If the money cannot be justified, the notary must cancel the transaction, and some financial investigators will follow up.

There are no fees, as opposed to what many other HN commenters says. Because if your bank has fees for SEPA transfers, you can always switch to virtual-cross-EU-online banks which have no fees for SEPA transfers.

However, you will be notary fees, which most of it is just plain tax.
> Its a single point of failure

You can have more than one bank account.
I would hope that auto flying and landing is quite good and robust before considering single point of failure for the pilots. This also assumes that no pilot would act out against the health of their crew and passengers.

In other words, when they can safely fly with no pilots they can have one.

It is absolutely intentional.

Those who already have serious realty want its value to go up. They don't want any new development nearby which would compete with their realty, or otherwise lower its market value due to becoming less exclusive.

Completely incidentally, these same owners are well-off people who are ready to spend a lot of time and effort talking to the city hall, sponsoring election campaigns, etc.
I moved to Canon from HP and have both their Maxify GX7020 [1] and their imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 [2], both of which have a strong Just Works (tm) factor, at least in my experience. I'm a low workload user, and probably do about 300 pages a month on the GX7020 and perhaps 30-40 photos a month on the PRO-1000, the cost per page on the GX7020 is very low, and while the PRO-1000 is much more expensive it's still "cheaper and faster" (cheaper - requires taking a somewhat long-term view on amortization of initial cost; faster - since I'm doing it myself and not waiting for UPS to bring me prints) than outsourcing the print for anything up to about 11x17", but anything larger I still do need to send out.

The advantage is you can apply the past 100 years of organic chemistry development to specifically build whatever molecule you want without having to deal with separating out the desired hydrocarbon molecules from the complex glop called 'crude oil'. This is essentially what's going on in modern natural-gas-fed petrochemical facilities (although natural gas is often itself contaminated with sulfur and mercury species, like H2S / H2Hg etc.).

The disadvantage is that there's a high energy cost involved in stripping oxygen off carbon dioxide and replacing it with hydrogen (it is storing energy in C-H and C-C bonds). As the cheap easy-to-extract oil is mostly gone at this point, however, these costs are approaching parity.

The real necessary use cases of hydrocarbon fuels are for rockets and jet airplanes, as battery energy density is just too low. Long-distance oceanic shipping is another area where hydrocarbon fuels might be necessary, although there are some other options (wind/solar/iron redox).

Thank you. "the happy path" is the best way to put it I have heard in a while. I genuinely feel that people having that level of naivete is the result of them living in a fairly stable country for far too long.

Dear people who come up every time with their own version of "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", break your bubble sometimes, talk to your work colleague from outside of America (or "the west"), ask them what it's like to live in a country where you cannot trust your own government. What it's like to live in a post-communist country, what it's like to live in a country with central planning.

That is absurd. People regularly pay for things like new computer with cash.

And family member was buying a flat recently - seller wanted cash, so transaction took place in a bank. Cash was withdrawn (around 90 000 euro?), exchanged when sale was notarized and deposited.

As I understand, this would not be legal anymore?
