> This is just a strawman.

It is not. Our career choices influence our life span. If your coal mining chain smoking friend told you they stop to smoke because they wanna live longer, you would rightfully think that if they wanna live longer they might want to switch careers as well.

Don't let the prestige connected to the CEO position blind you from the fact that leading that livestyle is not the healthiest choice you can make (mostly for stress reasons).

So if you as an CEO try esotheric and experimental health things the benefit those bring might be at odds with the rest of your life choices.

Many people in these circles do things like these more to create an interesting spleen (what I called "social reasons") which they can talk about with other peers or which can bring them into talk publicly.

Our coal miner that quits smoking does not do it for social reasons. He might have coughed up black stuff. and got legitimately scared for his chance of survival.

And I don't say this kind of contradictory (and therefore somewhat inconsequential) behaviour is bad or anything. Surely also a stressed out CEO should also look out for their own health. Surely quitting to smoke is always a good thing independent of your personal circumstances.

But if you use health choices to signal something to others you better make it consistent. If our coal worker chain smoker vehemently tried to convince his friends to go vegan "because it is healthier" we are not wrong to point out to him that this is at odds with his other life choices. How can we trust him that he cares for health if all other choices he made tell us otherwise?

If instead our friend wants us to become vegan because he thinks it is ethically wrong to kill animals, this would not be at odds with his other choices. You can lead an unhealth livestyle and think it is wrong to kill animals at the same time. No contradiction there.

If our friend goes vegan and doesn't tell anyone he is not doing it for social reasons. If a CEO makes odd experimental health choices and doesn't tell anyone the same is true.
But does anybody actually answer? In my experience a large number of companies with numbers just put you in a waiting queue that never ends. Might as well have some system to request a call, which is exactly what Stripe does.

Until 1992, Israel had a threshold of only 1%. Since then it has been repeatedly increased, and is now 3.25%. The parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe (CoE) recommends such thresholds be no more than 3%. [0] (Many member states defy this recommendation. Israel is considered non-European for the CoE's purposes, and therefore isn't a member state, but it is an observer. New Zealand is neither a member state nor an observer, but it does participate in some CoE conventions.)

The aforementioned thresholds are "formal" thresholds, but there are also "effective" thresholds, arising from district magnitude. In the absence of a single "at-large" (nationwide, in this context) district, districts need to be large to bring the effective threshold down even to 5%. (It depends on the seat-allocation method, but it could be about twenty representatives per district for a 5% effective threshold, and over thirty for a 3% effective threshold.)

Where the effective threshold is higher than the formal threshold, the latter has no effect. But where a parliament has districts with different numbers of representatives, districts can have different effective thresholds, so any formal threshold could have an effect in some districts and not in others. I believe this is the case in Czechia, Poland and Turkey (but I don't know whether the formal thresholds there apply nationally or at district level). On the other hand, the Netherlands has no formal threshold and a uniform effective threshold of only 0.67%. The effective threshold of Israel's Knesset would be less than 1%, but still greater than the Netherlands'.

[0] "58. In well-established democracies, there should be no thresholds higher than 3% during the parliamentary elections. It should thus be possible to express a maximum number of opinions. Excluding numerous groups of people from the right to be represented is detrimental to a democratic system. In well-established democracies, a balance has to be found between fair representation of views in the community and effectiveness in parliament and government." http://assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/XRef/Xref-XML2HTML-en.asp?fil...

That is indeed weird. Maybe someone asked ChatGPT to write a Stripe rant here to troll HN.
Sorry, I edited my comment to remove that aside before you posted your reply. Ultimately this does make the HTTP challenge more secure and I mixed up which CAA bits were already supported.

My point was more about how this doesn't make DNS challenges any more secure because the security of CAA ultimately depends on DNSSEC.
I've replayed a handful of stories that point to the fact that there are 10 thousand assisted suicides in Canada. Out of those thousands, if "assuming they're broadly correct" add up to a system that is not well thought out and is already having problems with "oh, you're poor and having a bad day? we can fix that!"

And my original question still stands: Why is the interpretation "California is letting people suffer needlessly" not "Why is Canada killing people to save money"? - since the original person I responded to is just as likely to be wrong that CA isn't killing enough people...

I don't think it's wrong to assume that Canada is killing people that don't need to die. 1 is too many... and it's easily 10's of people... and easily hundreds. It's not that hard to assume it's at least 10% of the 10k killed meaning "add up to thousands" is easy to assume.

Ask HN: How to install homebrew on 14 inch Mac 2021
I am getting the error

url: (28) Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443 after 75235 ms: Operation timed out

I got a new 14 inch 2021 macpro and I just updated the os to latest, installed the xcode command line tools and then ran the following command to install homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
I would say this is good advice. First just worry about readability and data flow/storage.

Once everything where it should be think about how to process it faster (and you can do ao by swapping out the contents of functional blocks).
About twice as high but incredibly larger. Hausmannian buildings have at most six stories which, IMO, is already one or two too many. But really Hausmann's style is elaborated, not brutalist.

Another complete afterthought is the gigantic shadow these monsters do cast. In some cities they brought entire neighbourhoods into shadow during the day.

Such buildings are just sad and reflect the minds of their creators (and of those who rooted/root for them).

Maybe some clarification: Telegram has said that they cooperate with authorities almost everywhere when it comes to open groups and channels. This means terrorist groups like ISIS/Daesh gets taken down.

As for closed groups I think they claim they don't have access and police have to get someone on the inside.

As for cooperating with Russian authorities in particular, Telegram has a history of open confrontation with Russian authorities, and for a long time had to maintain a proxy network for Russian residents.

Today we also see that both Russians and Ukrainians use Telegram to reach out, but I suspect at least Ukrainians use something else between themselves.

It's a bit weird how OP talks about owning a UK business but uses US-centric terminology like EIN and talks about USD. The weird "PERL" rant sounds fishy. And Stripe does offer phone support, you just have to request it and they'll call back soon after.

(I work at Stripe) As jmillikin points out below, this particular complaint has been repeatedly posted about Stripe on both Reddit and HN, with slight modifications to the claimed business.

Publicly represented facts are not always reliable. As a rule, we won’t comment on specific user cases for privacy reasons. However, as a trend, we’ve seen an uptick in HN posts requesting we release funds held.

We review every case posted here and, since summer, have confirmed in almost every case that the activity was fraudulent.

We know that confirming we're looking into cases here provides more incentive for bad actors to post. We wish that weren’t the case, but we do pay attention to both internal case reviews and to public forums where users post about having a bad day (or, in some cases, profess to be having a bad day).

We do not hold any user funds for any reason other than fraud prevention.

We do not own Reddit (or other) accounts that are used to downvote users genuinely looking for help.

We do show up on Hacker News, Twitter, Reddit, or via email to help good actors who need better help and post there as a means of last resort.

The above does not absolve us of any responsibility. We can make mistakes, and those can be acutely painful to legitimate users. But we do endeavour to help those that need help.
It sounds like gp's issue is only with games, i.e. everything else is rendering correctly. Which sounds to me like the video driver isn't applying the correct output profile (but the OS does so regular applications work).

Can you actually specify a color profile in the driver itself? I haven't had a color managed workflow in forever but I remember only ever being able to tell the OS.
I was hoping you had some evidence of Mossad or the CIA being involved in the coup in Turkey, but you don't, which is what I thought.
gcc is a complex beast and optimisation is hard. There's no such such thing as "generic optimisations" that remove useless actions, because depending on the hardware, certain seemingly useless actions are actually required to make correctness guarantees. Without access to the offending source code, one can only speculate what actually led to this result.

Another problem is simply that there's probably only a handful of people, likely employed by a single company or two, who maintain the parts for this specific architecture. It's very likely that there are too few users who actually report this kind of issues and too few resources available to test and address them.

It's not an issue with gcc or its optimiser in general.
I do wonder if this then actually also delegitimizes the post back then or if it's just someone building a fake case on top of some existing case.

Still you could download the latest Telegram that you suspect on a new, patched phone, disconnect it from the network so it doesn't auto upgrade and keep it that way until a jailbreak is available.

At this point (attacks can only be done against users of the newest versions of the OS, and you still risk getting caught, squandering the whole operation) I say I cannot see how it is worth it.
This deserves its own post. I love the writing style.
GPT seems to have learned something since. Re-running the logicians joke and asking for an explanation results in:
"In this joke, the three logicians are individuals who study logic, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with the principles of reasoning. They are walking into a bar, which is a place where people typically go to have a beer.

The bartender asks them if they all want a beer. The first logician responds by saying "I don't know." This answer is based on the principle of uncertainty in logic, which states that one cannot be certain about the truth of a statement unless it can be proven.

The second logician also responds by saying "I don't know." This is a similar response to the first logician, indicating that they also cannot be certain about whether or not they want a beer.

The third logician, however, responds by saying "Yes." This answer is based on the principle of the excluded middle in logic, which states that a statement must be either true or false, and there is no middle ground. In this case, the third logician is stating that they do want a beer, implying that the statement "All of you want a beer" is true.

Overall, this joke is a play on the principles of logic and the way that logicians approach problem-solving and reasoning. It is meant to be humorous and entertaining, rather than a serious discussion of logical principles."

No, it seems that you are the one that don't understand.

A piece of paper is not Turing Complete because the computation happens in the head of whoever is holding the pen.

An excel sheet (or actually a power point presentation!) is, because the user just has to mindlessly, unconditionally, do a simple, non computational action to make the cycles go forward.

There is a difference between the two scenario, and if you can't see it, please do ask questions until I'm able to make that clear to you.
Have you got any modelling with a tiny shred of credibility that doesn't triple count various costs that agrees with that figure?
The new cryptex mechanism could be used to allow persistent modifications to the SSV (that's how it's done on the iOS Security Research Devices), but no idea if Apple will actually implement that.
Why should anybody? DNSSEC is almost irrelevant for the majority of domains. I've worked at a place that was pioneering it and found it over complicated and fragile, so haven't touched it since.

If you implement it correctly you are slightly more secure but there are better ways to spend your time.
How is this fairly nerdy piece, that no one has commented on, top of hn? What am I missing?
I was curious to learn how you came to your stance and it seems to be entirely fueled by these fake reports and complaints.

I mean, I'm pretty sure they are giving some people unintentionally a bad time once in a while but I don't have evidence that they are "scummy". And really we shouldn't just swallow whatever people write here.

Like the current submission seems to be turning out to be fake (see other comments).
When you connect to the service, the client tells the server which public key (key A) its expecting the server to prove that it has ownership of.

If the key A is still valid, the server can use the corresponding private key to sign a challenge.

If the key has been rotated out, the server instead presents the new key, and a signature. Eg, the server responds by naming key B, and presents a certificate of key B, signed by key A (the presented key). Instead of just a single key rotation the server could present a chain of certificates from A to B to C (the key the server wants to use). And optionally, a message saying "from now on, please make further requests using key B as key A has expired".
Everyone’s experience is different I guess. I started on Sinclair BASIC, which had no functions (apart from a mathematical DEF FN). The limitations of the language in terms of maximum complexity and speed prompted me to learn Z80 machine language, which also does not have named functions.

I didn’t find this lack of abstraction a hindrance. It actually helped when I moved on to C on a PC. So I don’t find the fondness for the limited 80s BASIC baffling at all.

Foundational research into principles that leads nowhere is not the problem. The pool of cool ideas like this is unknowably large, and it would be sad to not see papers like this from time time. [Edit: as long as it is a high-quality study of course.]

The true problem of the publish-or-perish world is the moral hazard that it causes. In booming fields, it is very seductive to abuse statistics or to outright fake data. These are not always caught by peer review!
I don't have a link at hand but yes, I believe I've seen this done fairly well somewhat recently. Modeling the actual faces might give false positives as someone else said, but depending on how strongly the blurring/pixelation is performed, what the movement of the camera is, and how many frames you have access to, there's a lot of information in those blotches and you can reconstruct arbitrary images from underneath.
This was true, it no longer exists
> want direct (cash) bank transfers ... This has its only issues as its slow and not very customer friendly.

Actually, there are issues that raise red flags when a business only accepts bank transfers:

(a) It raises a GIGANTIC red flag as to why a business was unable to get a merchant account with a card processor. Pretty much any business can get a merchant account with a bit of paperwork (generally not much more paperwork than for opening a bank account). So if a business is refused a merchant account everywhere (including PayPal) then, well .....

(b) At least in Europe, credit card holders gain SIGNIFICANT protection under law. Basically as long as your transaction is over a minimum amount (normally small, e.g. £100/€100), then the card issuer (i.e. bank) is *automatically* equally liable in the event something goes wrong (i.e. goods or services are faulty, are not delivered as promised, are not as advertised or if the trader or retailer goes out of business). This legal protection applies even if the amount you paid on your card was a mere deposit instead of the full amount. (Generally the only caveat here is that you need to pay the merchant directly on their merchant account, not via a pooling intermediary such as Paypal).

So actually for most consumers paying for high-value items on credit card is the Right Thing (TM) to do.
My ideal certificate issuance process should look as follows:

I create private key.

I publish corresponding public key at some standard DNS record.

Then I can curl http://letsencrypt.org/cert/mywebsite.com and letsencrypt responds with certificate (probably cached unless it decides to issue new one).

So I can spend some time preparing this DNS configuration and then writing simple cronjob to fetch certificate every day and restart apache.

That would be vastly superior to current certbot horror and as secure.
If an AI can do your job then you add no economic value, you are just collecting rent by preventing an AI from replacing you.
Also, the guy uses the "Reichsflagge" as his user picture, which is a pretty sure indicator of him either being one, or at least sympathizing with, right-wing nutjobs. These people are very quickly jumping to conclusions that fit into their irrationally-distorted picture of the world. And very bad at accepting even obvious facts that counter their worldview.
This is a big problem. I feel like the security world is trusting DNSSEC to close the unencrypted / unsigned DNS record shaped security hole. If its not something people actually want to implement because its a mess, what do we do? Do we need something better than DNSSEC? Is DoH good enough?
I think they meant Valve switched their focus to emulating Windows through WINE, practically adopting Windows' APIs, instead of solving Linux' dependency problems and pushing developers to compile for Linux natively (something they've always been reluctant to do).
Please read https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/09/the-thumb-zone-desi...

Read the second section, labeled "Thumbs vs Touchscreens", which shows the sweet spot for accessing content via left or right thumb or both. The lower corner closest to the base of the thumb is hard to reach. Unless the user was using both thumbs, placing target UI in one of those corners would hurt one-handed users.

Also note which areas are labeled as HARD to reach for either/both thumbs - the location where GTK4 has placed the main buttons in the File Chooser dialog.
