That's not to say that accountability isn't a serious problem with PayPal and companies in a similar position. It absolutely is. But this particular source has an overt Trumpist/antivax/right-wing slant.
Title of this post was changed btw: not all NYC companies are not posting salary ranges. And it isn't ONLY an issue in NYC, either. Very misleading title.
It's not just an example, the EU public sector has much stricter processes to spend its budget than any private company. In particular, public contracts usually involve a design contest; a startup can't just phone a hospital and land a contract.

Agreed with the rest though.
FortiOS – heap-based buffer overflow in sslvpnd
There is just basic h-bomb efficiency gains here. By lowering the energy requirement for the fission primary by finding more efficient ways to control/generate the X-Rays you can use a smaller and smaller primary. It also occurs to me how analogous this research is to the early x-ray laser tech, that Teller claimed could shoot down warheads for the Star Wars program in the 80s. Those designs had rods that would amplify and focus the x-rays from a nuclear bomb on incoming warheads. If you could initiate the x-ray chain reaction from a laser, you would be able to launch these without breaking the 'no nuclear weapons in space' treaty.
> There is a limit to the amount of upset one can feel before it either becomes debilitating or certain sub-conscious self-preservation mechanisms kick in and dial down the empathy.

I wouldn't personally say the chicken grinder gets anywhere near the level of debilitating upset. I'm easily more upset by very poor housing for farm animals, for example.

But the comparison wasn't to other issues in the world by my reading. It was specifically about how this machine works versus what someone's initial impression might be.

There's a pretty simple solution: Don't install applications from a third-party store. This change doesn't mean the Apple store is going away. It's reasonable to assume that you'll be able to continue using your device as you always have without worry.

I can’t usefully comment on most of the actual science in that paper, but I already had reasons to expect significant changes to the total mass of the atmosphere before reading it — the difference between today and the pre-oxygen apocalypse era (~2.4 Gy) implies at least a change of either 0.21 bar (if the oxygen came from the water) or 0.07 bar (if it all came from CO2).

I have no idea what to also anticipate from geology, impacts, or other things life might do besides the GOE.

Hmm. I think you may have misread my comment, but lets go over it just in case.

<< It does not make it any less upsetting, but, sadly, some animals suffer worse fates.

My interpretation: It is upsetting. Some things are more upsetting ( for example, your example of it being more upsetting if it was slow ).

I am not sure if your characterization of my comment is fair or accurate.

Individual responsibility is tied to economic rationalism.

With 100% devolved individual responsibility, you create market failure.

Nicotine based addition is a pure example of market failure.

To advocate for 100% unhindered individual responsibility, is to advocate against economics.

No rule-free economic market, free of arbitrary constraints, is ever truly rational.

That's because market failure is the default state of nature. The rich take from the poor, the incentive to economically specialize is lost due to theft.

"Personal responsibility" is a gross simplification of the complexities of political and economic science.

I would never simplify the enormous complexities of human computer interaction and UX, fields I know nothing about.

Don't over-simply how difficult a decision regulating nicotine was, and how many decades of academic careers have been sacrificed to come to this consensus.

Cable news slogans can never summarize the efforts of thousands of doctorate wielding technocrats arguing endlessly over the solution to nicotine.
May I suggest the below insights to your point of view, which will allow you to have a better understanding of what is happening underneath the hood ?

USDC is issued by circle.com and the underlying assets are held on US bank accounts.

BUSD, which is Binance's USD stablecoin, is actually issued by paxos.com (see https://paxos.com/busd/) and the underlying assets are held on US bank accounts .

Binance definitely has accounts at both Circle and Paxos, that allow them to mint and redeem USDC and BUSD, by depositing or (respectively) withdrawing USD to Circle's or Paxos' bank account.

In September, Binance announced that all USDC deposits made on Binance would be converted to BUSD at 1:1 (https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-to-a...). The move was indeed an attempt to boost the adoption of BUSD, which is the third largest stablecoin with a market cap of $19B, behind USDC which is the second largest with a market cap of $43B (see https://coinmarketcap.com/view/stablecoin/).

From a practical point of view, what Binance did was redeeming the USDC (by sending them back to Circle and withdrawing USD to it's bank account) and then subsequently minting BUSD (by wiring the USD to Paxos' bank account and receiving the corresponding amount of BUSD).

Binance also allows to "seamlessly" withdraw BUSD as USDC from it's exchange to your wallet.

Now you are starting to understand what happened today.

Following negative rumours, people started to massively withdraw BUSD as USDC from Binance. Binance fullfilled to first part of those withdrawal requests from it's hot wallets containing USDC, but past a certain amount it had no USDC left and temporarily halted withdrawals of USDC. A caveat to that is that Binance only halted withdrawals of USDC on the Ethereum and Tron chains. Withdrawal of USDC to Polygon and Avalanche for example have been running smooth all day, probably because less people choose those options, so there were still funds available on Binance's hot wallets on these chains.

Once the hot wallets were depleted of USDC on Ethereum and Tron, Binance could only continue to honor the withdrawal requests by converting the BUSD it held to USDC. That conversion requires to redeem the BUSD at Paxos, receiving USD on it's bank account, sending the USD to Circle, and receiving the corresponding amount of USDC. These steps involve regular wires between banks, hence why they could not be executed before the US banks opened.

That being said, the situation is now resolved and Binance has now re-enabled withdrawals of USDC.
I’ve only scanned the blog but have read OG Data2Vec paper.

Data2Vec presents an architecture that performs well across the main benchmarks for vision, speech and text. The architecture is a variation on the transformer network with slight tweaks for each learning modality. Data2Vec 2 seems to be more a more efficient variant.

In terms of applications, data2vec gives a single reliable architecture for each approach. Whereas before you may have used a CNN for vision and a transformer for text etc.

Additionally, this research is building towards multi-modal learning where an architecture could be trained on images, text and speech to learn about a topic. (But to my knowledge there isn’t anything ground breaking in this space yet).
It's certainly better evidence than was ever offered for the supposed Russian role in the incident. If all your news is from English-language war media, you won't be convinced by Sachs. (Who is refreshingly frank with respect to a variety of issues now that he's been through that whole Lancet task force farce.) Outside Europe and North America, however, no one believes it was the Russians.

The pipeline was no longer transporting gas, but it certainly hadn't been "abandoned". That would have been monumentally stupid, especially in the context described by TFA.
I love this article but simultaneously it says so little. I think that she and I have very different values, and to me this would be "I had a job at a call center for 9 months after college."

I think the space between her and I is what makes this such a good read.
GDPR didn't enforce cookie banners. Sites can simply not track if they actually care about their users. If they don't track they don't need to ask for anything.

And a lot of these dark pattern cookie banners are not GDPR compliant. It should default to not track even if you don't press anything. And clicking 40 different reject buttons isn't allowed either. This needs serious policing.
> sprinkler systems have reduced the risk fire poses

Not so fast. My 5+1 has loads of sprinklers and its a nightmare. Every few years the sprinklers start leaking, or someone drills a hole or breaks a spinkler pipe. It causes catastrophic damage. Its one of the main reasons my next place will be concrete.
I submitted this article because I didn't know about the new(?) type of fraud around gift cards. From the article:

> Walmart's gift cards are worthless until customers load them with cash. Once loaded, the company requires shoppers to input a card's hidden security code when using it to make purchases online, but not at self-checkout.

> Wilson says a fraudster could easily take photos of a bunch of the cards' bar codes at Walmart, and then try to buy goods with them at self-checkout at a later date — in the hopes the cards have since been loaded with cash.

> "It's sort of, like, egregious," he said. "All the cards in Walmart are on bulk display. The bar codes are in plain sight."

Are you in e-commerce? PayPal is a must have for e-commerce. Some companies try to abandon PayPal and see a sharp decline in sales. Being the first digital wallet gave them a first mover advantage that will never go away.

Only chance is enough people start selling online and see how PayPal treats sellers and stop using it as buyers.

> >To help protect against unsafe apps, Apple is discussing the idea of mandating certain security requirements even if software is distributed outside its store.

Are they going to keep on giving their own apps entitlements they deny to everyone else? (Or even, allow to others, but very selectively.) Or is the EU going to crack down on that as well? I hope.
Styrate- a social rating platform to eliminate fake reviews from Amazon
Hi HN!

I'm a first time founder who's set out on a mission to help eliminate false reviews from Amazon by building a social rating and review platform that connects consumers with trusted influencers.

Fake reviews cost Americans 0.12 cents on every dollar they spend, which is 10 cents more than what NASA gets. Here is the beta signup page for when we launch the MVP (our stretch goal is in 100 days) any feedback about the idea or website will be highly appreciated!
Which would also include any other method currently being pursued to achieve fusion, besides laser confinement. I'm guessing that the laser confinement community had to invent another meaning for "ignition" since the usual one would not be applicable to them.
While not 90%, transmission and distribution are around 40% of the cost of retail electricity, so lowering those substantially would go a long way.
My only issue with Firefox is that where I work Chrome is king and so I have to test a lot of things on a Chromium type of Browser and everything looks a tad different on Firefox.

So I when I need speed and not the weight and bloat of Chrome I fall back to Brave browser.

So all in all: I barely use Firefox these days.

But back in 2004 - 20010 Firefox was king for me.
The idea that SQLite shouldn't be use for web applications is about a decade out-of-date at this point.

But... actual guidance as to how to use it there is still pretty thin on the ground!

Short version: use WAL mode (which is not the default). Only send writes from a single process (maybe via a queue). Run your own load tests before you go live. Don't use it if you're going to want to horizontally scale to handle more than 1,000 requests/second or so (though vertically scaling will probably work really well).

I'd love to see more useful written material about this. I hope to provide more myself at some point.

Here are some notes I wrote a few months ago: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/23/datasette-gunicorn/
Hey, could be interesting. I really like that you have a free trial without requiring CC details.

Two small login related comments:

- I would have suggested launching with MFA not just being available - but enforced for all users.

- The Login with Github option requires that you provide full write access to all your public and private repositories, I think this is a bit much and would put off a lot of people.

I'm curious how Apple is going to limit this functionality to Europe. Will it just be iPhones sold in Europe? What about older iPhones then? Can I import a European iPhone to American shores? Will it be just detected region? If so, what happens if I fly from Europe to America for a week? Does it apply to all EU Citizens regardless of where they live, like GDPR? If so, how is that enforced for EU citizens living in the US, or dual-citizens? What about iPhone users without an Apple ID stating their location? Can Apple be sued if they inadvertently cut some European users off? In which case, if they are forced to play it safe, how will they prevent sideloading in America? If they discover they can't prevent sideloading in America effectively, then what?

Not odd at all -- when weight is critical, you want to make the most out of every gram of material, ideally getting overall structure, aero skin, and pressure vessel in one.

Rockets with balloon tanks (such as the original Atlas) even rely on pressure from the propellant tank contents to strengthen the structure.
I wonder if that is much or not. I have no idea how hard this is to produce. Do you have an idea about that?

What's weird is when people imply that opinions form from the ether, rather than from interaction with the cultural conversation.

There's nothing that can be done about that reality, so we have to worry about people and mechanisms that have control over that conversation.

It should not sound unreasonable to worry about an adversarial country possessing what amounts to a gigantic, unauditable mind control machine.
Samsung Store is actually an example for the regulation. Samsung Store is more like Apple Store on Samsung phones. Every Samsung user is happy that they can use Google's store as an alternative.

Indeed the free market is great. And you will continue to have the ability to only use the Apple App store, if you so chose.

You are prohibiting from crying or complaining about this by your own logic.

You are free to not install an alternative app stores, and cannot use any arguments at all about how your choice is restricted.

People are different, so different things click with how they think.

I would likely not be a programmer if it weren’t for Ruby and it doing things different.

I had tried to learn programming for years (JavaScript, Python, Java, C#), none of it stuck or progressed beyond following tutorials and one of the things I had serious issues with was negation.

Then I came across Ruby and it just kinda clicked into place like no other language had. With Ruby I was able to do my own things within a month.

Now I don’t really have a problem picking up other languages anymore. But there’s others out there right now struggling to learn programming and there should be as many programming languages doing things different as possible to increase the chance that they come across one that is obvious for the way they think.

This idea of there should only be one way of doing things is poison in my opinion.

Fuschia is based on the Zircon kernel, and Im going to let you take a guess on which language Zircon is written in (hint, its not Rust).

Just to clarify, when I say the OS, Im going with the definition of Linux Kernel being the actual OS, with other stuff on top of it comprising the rest of the system. The core kernel should absolutely be written in C, with careful attention to detail. The rest of the OS is totally fine to use Rust (or really any other language). Which is pretty much the direction Linux is going. The core kernel will still use C because its the most stable syntax currently in existence, while module development will allow Rust.

There has been efforts to write drivers in Rust for things like NVME (https://www.phoronix.com/news/LPC-2022-Rust-Linux), which required a lot of work, and guess what, plenty of `unsafe` scattered through the implementation. Yes, it made the implementation easier, but that is one of the major problems. As long as Rust allows this, you won't have safe code. And without it, things will take much longer to write, likely be slower without careful design, which means less adoption. Its a Catch 22 really, since less adoption means less development, but nevertheless, getting rid of unsafe is absolutely necessary if you want Rusts safety features to work.

Also to address your advantages of Rust, C has a type system, its just is very open and has less semantics (as it should, so that the software doesn't do its ow aren't clearly stated by the developer). It also has an ecosystem (LLVM/Clang, GCC, libc, all the standard libraries in the linux kernel). You generally also don't want a package manager for something that you write an OS in, considering all the exploits that happen with pip/npm and malicious packages. C also has a very good build system (CMake/Scons), and plenty of memory safety built into core functions.
How bad would the ‘war on life’ abuse have to be before one would consider that humanity probably can’t handle this responsibility.

The lesson I wish OS designers would learn from vintage computing is that when it comes to an interactive user interfaces, responsiveness matters far more than throughput, and so nothing required for interactivity should be swapped out, ever, under any circumstances.
