The thing being described here isn't really an address system. The point of addresses is that they're supposed to be stable; I want to know that I can go to google.com and know that the thing on the other end is controlled by Google and not some other entity. This is a lot more important than being able to look up "search" and know that the thing on the other end was chosen democratically rather than auctioned off. If the thing I want is to connect to one particular entity, then under this system the only way I can do that with confidence is by getting their public key out of band, which is deeply inconvenient and the whole problem that domain names were invented to solve.

Registry operators can also hijack domain names, of course, but they have an economic incentive not to do that (except in cases like malware C&C domains that don't affect legitimate users), because their job is to ensure that the whole system of stable addresses keeps working, and failing to do that would undermine confidence in the whole thing. A public vote doesn't have that incentive alignment; anyone who bothers to explicitly configure their system in this way, is fairly likely to be someone who'd join a campaign to hijack a name for the lulz or to make a political statement, at the expense of usability for regular users.

It's true that if you have human-meaningful domain names, then some of them will be more desirable than others, and anyone who can get a good one, or who can distribute good ones to those who want them, is thereby in a position to collect a certain amount of economic rent. Which isn't ideal. But this is all a second-order consideration at best; it's a side effect of the goal of stable addresses, which is the important part.

It is not appropriate or ethical for pilots to use euphemisms or other language that may downplay or minimize the severity of an aviation incident or accident. Pilots have a serious responsibility to communicate clearly and accurately about the status of a flight, and to take all necessary actions to ensure the safety of their passengers and crew. Using euphemisms or other language that may mislead or confuse people about the true nature of an incident or accident could potentially compromise safety and hinder effective communication and response.

Love, DangGPT.
> but can we find ways to use alternative building materials that don’t require a tree to grow in the ground for 20+ years?

Trees are an incredible renewable resource. Most homes today are built with trees from managed, sustainable forest and LVL's (laminated veneer lumber) from the same sources. The LVL's replace "big beams" for old growth. The "frame" of an average house now looks like this:
http://www.joneswholesale.com/products/images/ROS-RFPI-Solid...

Anysort of concrete/hempcrete/whatever is actually going to be a terrible thing for the environment compared to... wood.

Between LVLs, Glulam beams, and CLT what you should be asking is why arn't more midsize buildings built of wood instead of environmentally disastrous concrete. See this for example: https://www.popsci.com/article/technology/worlds-most-advanc...
It’s not doxxing because aircraft locations are a matter of public record. A newspaper or other publication publishing information that’s already public is not a net new disclosure.
Most people I've noticed that are successful and productive in their respective fields have very simple systems. Using simple systems prevents productivity porn, the act of over gardening your tool sheds. It prevents you from wasting time in things you shouldn't be wasting time on - chasing technology and processes instead of saving problems for instance.

They also publish mostly finished work (not necessarily perfect) semi frequently. These works could be blog posts, websites, YouTube videos, books, and a whole host of other things depending on what's being produced
John is too busy doing the No Agenda show to have a cogent thought at this point.
Per-resource IAM policy generation alone is not even half good enough. Most AWS services have complex IAM policy requirements that are unique to a specific AWS service or product, and within each there is typically a subset of policies being necessary (less frequently, the entire lot of them) – depending on which parts of the service/product are used, e.g. take a look at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appflow/latest/userguide/securit...

Oftentimes, resource policies require condition or context keys to be supplied, e.g. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/using-identity-ba...

Or a S3 cross-account replication policy that requires a specific condition to be able to decrypt and re-encrypt the data in the S3 bucket. KMS policies, in general, are notorius for mandating conditions and context keys – at once.

Cross-account IAM resource policies are even more complex, as they require policies to be configured in both accounts, and the policy is different in each of accounts; take Glue as a simpler example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/cross-account-acc... Such knowledge can't be [easily] derived from parsing and analysing a terraform codebase alone.

Without maintaining a comprehensive repository of AWS services and IAM policy generation rules specific to each of the AWS services that can support a specific permutation of product features used in a project, I fail to see how this product is useful or what it can do beyond trivial «grant the service instance ABC access to the service DEF by using DEF's ARN». Which is… frankly not very useful on its own.
I thought it was meant to be good? 8.5 on IMDB.
Ask HN: Why did Gmail become popular?
I was really young when Gmail started, and for the most of my life it was one of the dominant email apps. What led to it becoming popular over previous email clients like Hotmail?
So what if it did? How what that meaningfully change anything that Musk was planning to do?
> Given the regulatory push, Liu’s laboratory team is “marching toward commercialization” with help from a $50,000 proof-of-concept grant from UCR’s Office of Technology Partnership to scale up this technology to handle larger volumes of water, Liu said.

One $50k grant? That seems like a tiny amount for possible fix to such a big problem.
I'm sure he became the second richest person in the world by being a very forgetful loser of a capitalist
Wittgenstein
Beginning? There have been parallels for weeks now allowing for variations of detail and scale: a rich so-and-so with not exactly leftward tendencies and an interest in Dutch Tulips who, being a heavy user of such-and-such, buys such-and-such. Employees of such-and-such depart in droves, both sides hold their peace concerning differences of opinions over said departures, distressing details of the so-and-so are dredged up, and much popcorn is had by the ever-industrious Little People. Oh, and yes, so-and-so banning anyone who mentioned going elsewhere. Other parallels could doubtless be found, but that would require doing some actual research. "Debacle" could well apply to both.

There are major differences; a notable one is that the Libera switch was mostly a quick host:port change for users; Twitter and such appear to be a tad complicated, but that's the modern web moderning. Thus, Twitter users may not have ready and viable alternatives to switch to, and probably specific differences could be found between "folks who IRC" and the general population. Also Twitter is a tad larger than Freenode, so will doubtless take longer to break up in the water, or may have better salvage value if, somehow, things can be set aright.
Gmail still has the best UI, unfortunately...

I tried to use live.com lately, and it is not as good.

I also use Protonmail and others, but Gmail usually works better.
I've tried this, it sometimes doesn't seem to intercept the key in time, so funny things happen. Others, the key gets "stuck".

I've tried modifying the Super / Win key. It would often happen that the keyboard would become unusable and behave like if it had the Win key stuck, even though it was remapped to something else.

This actually happened on Windows 11, not 10 (never tried on that). I don't know if it makes a difference.
Definitely. I did an Applied Math undergrad degree one class at a time at night (US) from late 20s to late 30s. It was fun, hard, and gratifying. Also, I had zero student debt when I was done, which was really convenient.

I tested a few recordings of an Indian Swami giving speeches in English back in the 70's. Recording had a lot of background noise, not great. You have to listen very carefully to hear what is being said. I was hoping for good results, but...

Results:

- background noise was reduced

- some previously clear words are turned into garbled non-words

- some parts are replaced by a different Indian voice, I assume AI, so it sounds like multiple people talking

All in all, the results are not anywhere near what the sample shows.
Achieving a PhD in dealing with narcissistic assholes is a valuable career skill, that will benefit you in any field, no matter the topic of your thesis.

I think this is true, but the balance has shifted dramatically and will likely continue to do so indefinitely. It used to be that the broad range of opinions and personalities balanced out /pol/ when you were visiting other boards, but it really is getting to the point where every board I visit is skewed by at least some amount of antisemitism, conspiratorial thinking, christian fundamentalism, or pro-nazi thinking. The most amusing thing to happen lately on /pol/ has been their struggle to cohere a consensus opinion around the war in Ukraine. It might be the first broad division I've seen there in a while.
Because it appeared that he was suppressing mentions of Mastodon in tweets, so when that got noticed, there was suddenly a policy, then when the policy got widely mocked, suddenly there was no policy.

Management genius at work.
> The outrage and temper tantrums sparked in entitled over-sensitive Twitter users and commentators, is quality popcorn material. Must the curtain close?

I do mostly agree with you—Musk's outrage and temper tantrums have been pretty funny. This is probably been the funniest time Twitter has, just weeks of everyone dunking on him and watching him flail in rage. But honestly, it's getting kind of tiresome. Every time the conversation moves on to something else, he bans someone or adds some new rules or gets mad about something, to keep himself in the center of attention. I think it's probably time to close the curtains.
MySpace Tom seemed to be interested: https://twitter.com/myspacetom/status/1604658018213195777?s=...

Imagine if Tom ran twitter. We’d truly be in the best timeline.
One way to put an end to language policing is to do the opposite. This stuff is used for virtue signaling, so you can just ruin the SNR.

Share these sorts of guides with the worst people around - ethnic supremacists, fascists, etc. They're not allowed to use certain words/phrases in polite society, such as "retard". Thankfully academia has come to their aid, and now they can just call that person "neurodivergent" instead. We all know what they really mean.
Nothing was “fixed” - this is a horrible breach of trust!
I'm clearly wrong, judging from the responses, but my point in bringing it up was that Americans somehow show up around the world even though there are huge groups of us who never leave even their own state.

How is that any different than just saying “Latin” … I’m genuinely trying to think of how this might be pronounced, particularly with an eye towards American regional accents and yeah… it’s not great.

Latine:

- Lah-teen … rhymes white latrine

- Lat-ein-e … normal “lat”, Germanic pronunciation of “ein”, like the number one or Einstein, “e” pronounced either “ee” or “eh”

- Latin-e … latin-ee, rhymes with matinee,

- lat-tine … lah-tine as in the tines of a fork.

Or my favourite

- Latin-e … just “latin” but spelled with a silent “e”.

This is less than ideal… outside of using mispronunciation as a shibboleth, you normally want a group identifying word to be clearly identified and picked up by any possible group members regardless of if they have heard someone speak it. You want such words to be easily used by the people who identify with it, also crucially it’s self-adoption by the group that is being identified that matters… If no one you would call latine likes you calling them latine, or latinx, or Latino or Latina or Latin… you probably should just ask them what they want and call them that instead, that’s just my opinion from over in Australia where this particular identity/word fight appears to have mostly gone unnoticed against our own local issues.
I breezed through the article, we don't watch TV on the streaming services. We use free HD OTA since we're not that far from the towers. Do a lot of people watch TV shows on the streaming networks? It doesn't seem like something I'd want to pay for or if I did, maybe I'd just go back to cable? We use streaming services for movies and documentaries.
That's really informative, thank you.

It depends. There are some products which are so excellent that I want to continue funding development because I know it’s an investment in a great tool from a great company.

Other products aren’t so compelling and I hardly even want or need it, but not having access proves to be inconvenient at times. I’ll pay for a month here and there. I’ll occasionally forget to unsubscribe when I don’t need it.

That’s where I’m a little torn. At least I can get access when I need it rather than paying a lump sum. At the same time, $25 for a month of access when I’m only using it for 2 hours feels like bad value as well.

Also, some developers out there aren’t doing subscriptions but I almost wish they would so I could continue funding them.

Definitely mixed feelings about it.
I'm tired of all media now being a series!

Email to the admins: "Hey guys I'd like the results of the poll to be the following..."

No chance.

Interesting side note: Here in Australia this morning on the ABC public broadcaster's national News channel, one of the presenters said "if you hate Elon Musk, vote yes"... encouraging the mostly left-leaning ABC viewers to log on and vote Musk out. The poll will get swamped by this politically divisive Musk-hating recruitment drive, which is why the results stand as they are.
Well yes but we don't know what other synergetic technologies will enable making fission profitable in the future. Very few people predicted smartphones to hit the market in 2010, drones in 2020 etc.
Hybrids are more expensive to maintain than Evs, you have 2 systems that are linked together, the ice half requires very active lubrication and cooling.

You talk about battery refresh costs, but a hybrid that uses 85%+ of the capacity on every trip will wear much quicker than the EV that uses 10% of its capacity on 95% of trips.
welcome to the matrix.

yes it's a known fact, and no there's no way around it.
Less dead than perl by far. I've seen a lot of new COBOL going into production just this year. New versions of the compiler (the IBM one, the only one that really matters for COBOL) are still being released. A while back they went to the trouble of implementing full JSON serialization/deserialization. You would be surprised how many web services are pretty much just COBOL the minute the server needs to do anything with files or databases or whatnot.

As somebody that grew up on C and mostly doesn't work on the applications programming side of things, it was always tough to get my head around why so many people still wanted to write COBOL. Over the years though I've concluded that its simply a better language for certain kinds of tasks than anything created since. And there has been no shortage of support in keeping it relevant and easy to integrate with modern systems.

It would be interesting to see the COBOL record IO and destructuring of files and whatnot be implemented in a more modern language. I don't think anybody particularly cares for COBOL syntax, but the programming paradigm it supports doesn't have any other major players. Nobody has ever really even tried, probably because the types of people that usually create programming languages have no connections to the somewhat closed world of COBOL enthusiasts at large corporations. Certainly an interesting idea for a hobby project though, there are a lot of interesting places you could take a mixed COBOL/functional language type thing.

For instance, a function would take one file and output another, file structures and record structures could be interpreted as data types, archiving files would be treated as a side effect of the system essentially (or potentially if you get real crazy, make that some sort of functional abstraction as well). Just spitballing here because it's a fantastic idea that I would love to see. There is no reason that working with files has to necessarily be treated as entirely external to the program/a side effect, so long as you take care to have some sort of way to deal with acquiring locks/contention issues and whatnot. Not a problem on mainframes, but there would need to be some systems features implementing to make that sort of paradigm effective in a Unix style environment. I'm not sure it could be done entirely in a runtime, a lot of that state would really need to be global.
My bad. I autocorrected it in my mind. I deserve the lashings.
It's a POC grant, more money should get unlocked if it succeeds. Smaller grants means more grants and more research (hopefully!).

I started as a programmer and now consult but also have a small engineering shop, and operate a small construction company, which has led me to get hands on experience on pretty much every part of construction

A joke I keep making is, it doesn't surprise me so many people I meet in the trades are anti-science / conspiracy theorist adjacent, if you spend all day doing manual, physically intensive tasks using methods and materials that are functionally identical to how they did it 50+ years ago, it's easy to think scientists are full of shit.

From what I see most progress and 'efficiency' happens on the manufacturing side. Materials get cheaper to produce, overall better (stronger, nicer finish, etc), but usually not easier to install or work with.

A bit of a tangent but in the past you could just throw more people at the trades, so it didn't need to be any more efficient, but here in Aus the mining industry and commercial construction has eaten up most of the skills, and where I am it can take 12 months to break ground on a residential project right now. We're doing a commercial job for a builder that literally has "Homes" in their company name, and is just doing commercial work now. In October I was trying to organize an residential electrician in a smaller town (<50,000 people), and no one in town could come within 8 weeks. One company told me their entire staff was 5000km away from town for a commercial job, probably wouldn't be back available until next year, the money was just too good.

The first iPhones were AArch32, and there was likely a sizable contingent of iOS software that was written to target the only existing bitness at the time :)

The same reasons GP offered still apply there. The amount of software directly ported from x86_64 to AArch64 was probably minimal.

The CA that issues the 20 year certs stays offline, so the only way to get the private key is to hack each machine.

If the machine is compromised to the point where you can extract the key, the cert does very little since you already own the endpoint.
> Want a password manager? It's a SaaS now.

No, not all of them. Here is a password manager that runs locally, no SaaS: https://www.pwsafe.org/index.shtml -- plus here is a long list of compatible alternate versions that also are not Saas: https://www.pwsafe.org/relatedprojects.shtml

> Note taking app? SaaS.

Hmm, purists would say Emacs and Org-Mode here, but there's also a whole host of open source text editors that are not SaaS, and function just fine for "note taking".

> Image editor or office suite? SaaS (thanks Adobe...)

Again, no. The GIMP (https://www.gimp.org/) runs locally just fine for editing images on my systems, with no SaaS anywhere in sight.

Also, Libreoffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/) runs locally, with no SaaS, just fine as well.
What was the reason for choosing Go? Java is far more widely supported in the world.
> Opposite. I'm an infra-power user that uses AI once every two months, and I like the experience. Can't tell how it is for power users though. Maybe they hate it.

Fair enough. I didn't mean to claim that everyone had a negative experience, just that it was far from a one-sided thing where these apps could be said unambiguously to improve. ("In summary, Adobe Creative Cloud is a land of contrasts.")
