> It's simply not practical to "look up the laws they need to comply with."

If that's the case where you're incorporated and operating, specialists in what the law says and how it applies exists. Use some of that VC money to use them.

That said, your examples are pretty terrible. ADA rules for buildings are incredibly clear, and a halfway decent contractor will know them. Ditto fire rules. Seriously, a business owner with a shed that hurts or kills somebody for not being compliant with fire codes deserves their day in court.

Oh, and the usual "Ignorance of the law is no excuse to break the law" applies here too.
Not op, but at an ecommerce company I worked for we did similar things to track how well our competitors were doing relative to us so could be something like that.

Also collecting data like this can be useful if you want to beat markets.
Yeah, something absurdly fun, like making video games.
What’s missing from firefox is a native way to organize tabs into groups, like on chrome browers
Yep, and a mis-hire is one of the easiest problems to push off. You can talk yourself into believing the first project wasn't a good fit, your management skills aren't good so it's your fault, and so on.

All of those things might even be true! But doesn't change the reality that you're burning 2-3 engineers of runway on 1 engineer with no valuable outputs.
The details involved in this settlement suggest that the bank has been charged based on the money laundering practices done back in 2016. They were essentially providing ways for russian oligarchs to safely deposit their funds into the US financial system. That sucks, but most likely these same funds are currently being held frozen by the US. Nobody really has the authority to unfreeze them besides the US.
It could certainly be true that a modest harm to 80 million people is comparable to a serious harm to a smaller number. Of course fentanyl is pretty clearly a more serious issue but I think it's plausible they are in the same ballpark.

I would contend that so far, Apple has done a better job of ensuring their customers' privacy in the face of other companies that employ dark patterns to try to extract personal information from the device that neither Apple nor Apple's customers allowed them to.

The government, so far, has been rather toothless in terms of ensuring the privacy of people and have issued paltry fines to the companies that amounted to no more than a slap on the wrist and extracting a promise that they'll do better next time (with their hands behind their back and fingers crossed).

The reason I purchase apple devices is because they are the only ones that are taking my privacy seriously.

Government regulators are letting the market decide how valuable customer data is and Apple is saying "it is valuable and our customers value not letting random people getting it." Thus, I am voting with my wallet because in this case, votes for elected officials isn't doing much.
The Mossad's relentless focus and unlimited budget to go after these assholes is commendable. But that is a very long way from seeing the present day Argentina as directly influenced by the Nazis.

Laszlo Csatary is probably who you are thinking of. We're rapidly approaching the end of the hunt though, simply because there are fewer and fewer of the escapees still alive.
This general idea that a previous generation was better because they lead a less pampered life goes back to some of the earliest writing. Yet here we are.

World changing people seem to me to be very much the right people in the right place at the right time. The best way to find them is to try to create those places now.

Opportunities for WWII and post-war era research don’t exist now. Everything with funding is very short term, politicized, and narrowly focused within a micro specialty.

Realistically, I don’t think that will change until it has to.
I don't mean to come off as a grumpy old greybeard, but how does this differ from other terminals?

Every terminal I've ever used as a daily driver has had command history, has been fast (it's a terminal) and has been easy to use (which is of course subjective).

Looking at the feature set, it seems like they're trying to squeeze some bastardized IDE into a terminal. What is the selling point for you over, say kitty or iTerm2?
That’s awesome. Would you mind sharing which game it was?
This is what the author says:

> Today in the US, most houses and apartments are built using light framed wood construction.

> This system is a variant of a framing style known as balloon framed construction

Also, to the guy sidethread, the distinction between balloon framing and platform framing is the subject of several paragraphs, with illustrations.
Brilliant hack. I've used just about all the tricks from the blog and many of the comments here, but never this one. I've stripped timestamps for sure, but never considered all numerics. Nice one !

Going to negative to less negative is still a positive change.
I've learned to identify a kragen post from the preceding zero.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean consuming content. Indeed there appears to be no such right in the constitution. The only protections would be for the publisher of the content, so I suppose Bytedance could challenge this law on free speech grounds.
That's not evidence of anything, besides Apple's incentive to reduce user choice.
Prevent posts about any topic within a certain period of time (a week or so). The truth will hopefully have come out before that period and people can address that in the comments or by flagging the post.
For some reason most stuff still defaults to i32 and a lot of people use them for new code. At this point I'd not be against linters warning against using 32 bit ints unless you have a good reason.
> In most places in the world, corruption tends to be growth-reducing, but this is much less true in East and Southeast Asia, where it tends to be growth-enhancing.

This is a pretty astonishing claim. The richest place in Asia is famously corruption-free Singapore, and it's blatantly obvious that corruption has held back neighboring countries like Malaysia (billions embezzled from 1MDB), Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand etc.
That sounds fairly energetic... So after 10min you'd have some odd mix of heavy elements probably approaching a decent fraction of the volume of everest. Half the volume of everest x (densityofgranite / densityoflead)

That kind of expansion rate has to rival any explosion imaginable.
Multimillion dollar scams flourish on the App Store[1]:

> That man’s name is Kosta Eleftheriou, and over the past few months, he’s made a convincing case that Apple is either uninterested or incompetent at stopping multimillion-dollar scams in its own App Store. He’s repeatedly found scam apps that prey on ordinary iPhone and iPad owners by luring them into a “free trial” of an app with seemingly thousands of fake 5-star reviews, only to charge them outrageous sums of money for a recurring subscription that many don’t understand how to cancel. “It’s a situation that most communities are blind to because of how Apple is essentially brainwashing people into believing the App Store is a trusted place,” he tells The Verge.

Apple is also responsible for distributing 500 million copies of Xcodeghost to users via the App Store[2].

The App Store model is about profits, and security is an afterthought that makes for good PR.

The issue is the NIF isn't trying to study power generation, their mission is determining the health of our weapons stockpile. This experiment is a lab where they can test different casings and different hydrogen mixtures and this probably feeds real-world data into their supercomputer models. All this to determine how a 50 year old h-bomb would operate now. They also can find out how they can improve them without being able to go to Nevada and detonate one underground.
I'm not sure if he would be upset with me if I were to publish how small his team was, sorry! Maybe the reasons above will change this.
The first word I think ever learned to spell as a young child was SIERRA. Because SIERRA.EXE was the executable for a lot of games like King’s Quest and The Black Cauldron… I remember only partially knowing how to read, and basically associating the shapes of a lot of the words/letters with things happening in the game, without really understanding them.

Typing “kick cat” in King’s Quest 3 was the highlight of my computing experience back then. https://youtu.be/rFp0I5nalLs

Yerba Mate is brewed, like tea. You can buy the herb and brew it yourself, like loose tea. Yerba Mate is not a company, it's a drink with three thousand of years of history. The reason many energy drink companies add so much sugar is that it's extremely bitter. I like mine bitter, and many drink it straight.
I've had a lot of stuff fail to scroll lately, most annoyingly certain forums.

lmao, brilliant scientist Elon Musk is NOT. A closer comparison would be general Groves, someone who can get the team and resources in place so the work can get done.
Currently making my own social network from scratch and it's more media-based than text-based, but I love the idea of RSS feeds for everything. My only concern would be extra bandwidth requirements if there's a ton of readers out there constantly fetching updates.

It's better than someone F5-ing a page and redownloading all the assets, but feed readers check automatically on a (usually short) timer, so it's not really comparable.

Does YouTube still offer RSS feeds? I remember those being extremely useful when they swtiched from reverse-chronological to the recommendation-driven Home feed.
Imagine we were talking about the population of countries, and you made the assertion that "4 million people live in Canada" and then when I point out that "No, 40 million people live in Canada" you get into a hissy fit about how I misunderstood you, I don't understand context, I'm being combative and not charitable.

That's how silly you sound right now. You made up a number and pulled it out of nowhere in order to make your argument seem more legitimate than it was, and when I pointed out that you are wrong by an entire order of magnitude along with a source you could use to better inform yourself, instead of just acknowledging you were wrong, you decided to double down on your ignorance. Now instead of discussing the actual topic at hand, you want to derail the conversation into one about etiquette, politeness, HN Guidelines and how unpleasant this conversation is for you despite the fact that no one is forcing you into it.

You certainly don't need to publicly admit you're wrong, I don't care one way or another what you personally think... but you also shouldn't attempt so desperately to save face either.
I'm Australian and I have never really had any interest in going to England.

Australia is culturally downstream from America though, so you're right about that.
I actually think a lot of their new projects are written almost exclusively in Swift. There’s a lot of existing code that would need work to embed Swift into, though. (They’re working on it: https://www.swift.org/blog/future-of-foundation/)
How do we know the message was signed during the last hour and not in 2017 or 2014 or whatever? Does it include the hash of a Bitcoin block created in the last hour?
We need open source implementations of this tech to ban interference of the nanny state.
“32-bit IPv4 addresses to 128-bit IPv6 addresses means going from 4.3 billion to 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456”

Yes 128 bits is only 4x times the bit length, but the address space is exponentially bigger.

Some predict if we do run out, it might take ~100 years.

> That's where much of the overhead comes from, needing to repeatedly trace the full set of program references

No modern GC goes over naively the full application, generational GCs basically group together objects and cache their inter-generational references.

Also, I don’t really get what you mean. What reference could be - regardless of language - that is not related to the life cycle of the targeted data? That reference can only be invalid in such case, so, the inverse of the life cycle which is absolutely related. Sure, a pointer can be encoded many smart ways, but in the end they either point to a semantically correct data location or not.
Very nice--I like all the "Follow in" links. The one for Feedly in particular is pretty much what I'm envisioning, since it shows a page for the feed itself even if you're not signed into Feedly, instead of just redirecting to the landing page/sign-in page like the other ones do.
It's the classic "bootleggers and baptists" strategy for passing regulations. It's worked for hundreds of years.

Good point, but it would be interesting to see how widely used they are?
It is interesting to note that post and beam construction is still fairly common in the US. Just not for residential buildings. It is used extensively for agricultural barns and commercial and light industrial buildings particularly in rural areas.

Often buildings that have sheet metal exteriors are "post framed". Post framing is quite similar to post and beam. A "mortise and tenon" connection is implemented for securing the roof trusses to the posts. On site laminated 2x material is used or a notch is cut in post.

Congress called multiple hearings on Dragonfly and many politicians criticized it. China only ever enforced its consistent censorship policies without targeting any foreign company. Doing this you would admit is an aggressive move to target a Chinese company rather than a reciprocal action as the parent insinuated.
I guess we should take this as a lesson in communications. The "breakeven" thing is a red-herring that should have been have been left out of the message, or at least only mentioned as a footnote. The critical ELI5 message that should have been presented is that they used a laser to create some tiny amount of fusion. But we have been able to do that for a while now. The important thing is that they were then able to use the heat and pressure of the laser generated fusion to create even more fusion. A tiny amount of fusion creates even more fusion, a positive feedback loop. The secondary fusion is still small, but it is more than the tiny amount of laser generated fusion. The gain is greater than one. That's the important message. And for the future, the important takeaway is that the next step is to take the tiny amount of laser fusion to create a small amount of fusion, and that small amount of fusion to create a medium amount of fusion. And eventually scale it up enough that you have a large amount of fusion, but controlled, and not a gigantic amount of fusion that you have in thermonuclear weapons, or the ginormous fusion of the sun.
Nostalgic flashback to Premier Manager games, where players stats decreased as they aged. When they went /below 0/ they flipped around to 127. So a good strategy was to scout out really bad players from lower leagues about to hit age 30+. And offer them very long contracts to prevent them retiring .. and give time for most of their stats to flip around, turning them into superstars.
Maybe the key was inherited by someone? I don't intend to take my cryptos with me to the grave, or redistribute my wealth between holders, however you prefer to see it.
Some games are great even if they are "done" and no longer under active development. Frostpunk is a good example. When you see it on a large discount, pick it up.
I think that Apple quite deliberately do not make the life of smaller developers any easier. They seem to not want all these small fish, they would prefer to interact with serious corporate developers like Adobe. I won't be surprised if they increased the developer license fee to, say, a minimum $499/year for a group of 5 developers, maybe with a special provision for students. They already have too many small titles in their App Store, they likely would prefer fewer high-profile titles, like game consoles have it.
WhatsApp is exceptionally popular outside of the US, especially in Europe. There are more people outside the US than in it.

What would be the benefit of this, really? Easier consumption, I suppose, but RSS is a read-only protocol, and allows no participation. Users would still depend on centralized services to publish content, and there's little to no chance that these companies would interoperate using a standard protocol. Not only that, but why would a centralized service that depends on ads and promoted content allow you to use an open format to consume it? They _want_ to keep you on their platform as long as possible.

What decentralized protocols try to solve, and what the centralized web has failed us with, is data ownership. Users should have full control over the data they produce, and be free to migrate it to any other node without losing access to the service they're interested in.

I think Nostr looks very promising in that sense: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

Mind you, I don't think social media is worth reinventing. Connecting everyone on the planet is wrong on a societal level. But P2P services are a good fit for building smaller communities, which is a crucial missing component of the design of the WWW. I'm still hopeful that something built for the masses can take over the current mess we're in.
I'm also not convinced that the EU would just let Meta or Google and the like to create privacy-infringing, data-vacuuming third party app stores and then do nothing about it. Those app stores would become nice big targets of every regulator instantly.

Not to mention, I wonder if they might be hit with anti-monopoly violations if they pull crucial apps (e.g. WhatsApp) off of the main official App Store in order to force users to switch to their third party stores. Regulators would probably mandate they keep such apps available in as many places as possible.

Feels like a public safety issue for people who communicate mainly on WhatsApp, or an intrusive business issue for companies that use Google Meet. There's probably a legal case in it somewhere to be made.

And now (soon) if you decide to, you'll be able to stop using Apple App Store without purchasing a new phone, and apps for the new phone. This encourages free movement between markets and encourages competition.

Just because someone has decided they like the Apple App Store now, doesn't mean opinions won't change over time, or that the product doesn't change. Therefore being able to easily change your options is good.

> 2) Yes. Anyone with the private key could sign a message. And for clarity, such things are not date-stamped in a secure way, so there's no way to know when it was signed.

Its so frustrating to see so many people not understand this means relatively nothing towards the goal of power generation. We'll see how many details are released to the public and other scientists and how much is kept top-secret. They very well could have achieved this 10 years ago using similar materials as in the h-bomb, but kept that secret.
In this hypothetical society there's one thing that can't be obtained legitimately: Power over other human beings. Look around you. Read the news. A lot of people desire power over other human beings more than they desire anything else. If mafias form because people can't get what they want through legitimate means, and people can't get power, mafias will form for the primary purpose of getting power, unless actively suppressed.
“Mr. Agresto, 76, is a lifelong champion of liberal-arts education—the subject of his new book, “The Death of Learning: How American Education Has Failed Our Students and What to Do About It.” It’s an unpopular cause: According to U.S. Education Department data, students who majored in English, history, philosophy, foreign languages or literature constituted only 4% of college graduates in 2020. The number of degrees awarded in each of these disciplines declined by between 15% and 34% between 2012 and 2020, while the total number of degrees rose by 14%.”

More specifically:

“students who majored in English, history, philosophy, foreign languages or literature constituted only 4% of college graduates in 2020”
To repeat: you keep putting words into my mouth and crafting a strawman.
This is why you should develop user interfaces on last-gen (or gen-before-that) hardware. Developers optimize things that look slow to them so if you're on the latest firebreathing top end hardware, nothing seems slow. If you're on a 5-year-old i5 then you become very aware of which code is OK and which code is unacceptably slow.

That said, VR is the unsung hero of finally improving the awful jitter that most gaming hardware and software was developing 10 years ago. I don't care if your new graphics card can maintain 200fps on average if it has 100ms latency spikes every second. Smooth is important.
This is really a false dichotomy you don't have to use guid/uuid. I'm saying even if you use sortable auto increment numbers, stop storing them like numbers.
