Pelosi is in a federal position. What state rules is she subject to that she could be investigated for?

If she were in a state or local position, there's some things (Form 700 and things), but those don't apply to federal positions.

The state officials not incinerating tax dollars on a federal matter is good sense, especially since, afaik, there's no indicitation that the trading referenced is prohibited.

Its more accurate, I think, to say they’ve been doing it because political leadership and/or senior military leadership trying to anticipate rather than advise, is working to reduce the visible financial impact of optempo.
Even more tiring are people who use boring puns to launch an irrelevant soapbox.
Yeah, you are right about the privacy concerns.

Not really. Doing so would lower the average number of readings per article. In the most extreme case, this would lead to every article being write-only and never read by anyone. Of course this is absurd because writing takes so much more effort than reading, and the vast majority of people will be consumers without writing anything (except short private chats).
> For example '=' doesn't mean assign handle or copy. It by default means move.

Some complain about this, but the fact is there's no such thing as a zero-overhead "copy" for non-trivial types. C++ started out with = meaning clone the object which was an even bigger footgun, and support for move had to be added after the fact.

I doubt that's the problem. It takes effort to go out and try to make friends. Even trying does not guarantee success. I'm barely thirty and I can't remember the last time I made a friend on my own. There are people in my orbit (family) who help me meet new people and stay connected. I'd be doing a really bad job without them.

My lonely friend who moved away regularly says he is lonely, but also hasn't really made any new friends where he lives. They decided to move to another state where there are more people who speak his wife's native language, but neither of them know anyone there, despite living there for a couple of years now. Knowing you are lonely and telling others you are lonely doesn't help if you don't have a support network or community.

https://www.cpushack.com/2014/11/12/here-comes-philae-powere...

> Why was the RTX2010 chosen? Simply put the RTX2010 is the lowest power budget processor available that is radiation hardened, and powerful enough to handle the complex landing procedure. Philae runs on batteries for the first phase of its mission (later it will switch to solar/back up batteries) so the power budget is critical. The RTX2010 is a Forth based stack processor which allows for very efficient coding, again useful for a low power budget.

> Eight of the instruments are also powered by a RTX2010s, making 10 total (running at between 8-10MHz). The lander also includes an Analog Devices ADSP-21020 and a pair of 80C3x microcontrollers as well as multiple FPGAs.

However... more recently:

Insight - https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/press_kits/insight/launch/miss...

> The computer's core is a radiation-hardened central processor with PowerPC 750 architecture called RAD 750. This processor operates at 115.5 megahertz speed, compared with 20 megahertz speed of the RAD6000 processor used on Mars Phoenix.

https://www.engadget.com/nasa-perseverance-powerpc-750-17151...

> When NASA's Perseverance guided itself to the surface of Mars on February 18th, it did so with the help of the same processor that powered the 1998 iMac G3. You know, the colorful and bulbous all-in-one desktop that saved Apple's business and helped it become the company it is today. According to the New Scientist (via Gizmodo), NASA's latest rover features an offshoot of the PowerPC 750 CPU. That processor is about 23 years old in 2021.

The answer appears to be "more powerful processors have been designed that are radiation hardened.

That said... while the hardware isn't as common today, a lot of virtual machines are based off of a stack based architecture - from the JVM to Webassembly to the Ethereum EVM.
I'm not sure I used any of the features that haven't been ported over yet, maybe the local reporting feature which I was never sure if it actually did anything. In practice the stock weather app is good enough for me now.
In what sense does the US have the best freight rail system in the world? Not trying to be antagonistic, here---just want to know why you think this.

Regarding your other comment ("trucks get the goods where they have to go"): in other countries, such as Switzerland, many buildings (think an Ikea store) are required to be reachable by rail, in which case regional trains can deliver goods to a hub, and then local trains can take goods from the hub to the store. No need for trucks in this case.
cannot be said enough: insider trading is legal for Congress. It should not be. Until it is illegal, congress critters will do it and there’s no point “investigating” them for it because nothing will happen, because, again, __it is legal__ and nothing will actually happen to them as a result of an investigation, because there’s nothing to do about it.

We should instead be pushing congress to make it illegal to trade stocks outside of index funds controlled by outside entities. Once that’s done you could actually go after congresspeople for insider trading if they did it in the future.
Homes are seen as an investment: they are being bought with the expectation that they can be sold at a later point in time at a higher price. However, this leads to some serious issues down the line.

I think it is fairly safe to say that the general expectation of an investor is that the value of a home will grow faster than inflation - why else bother investing? This means that the average inhabitant's costs for living in that home (rent, mortgage payments) must also grow faster than inflation. However, the average inhabitant's income will only grows with the inflation rate.

This means that for homes to be used as investment, the cost of living in them must be an ever-growing percentage of the inhabitant's income. And this is what we are currently seeing in practice: since 1965, home prices have increased 7.6x faster than income.[0]

This is obviously unsustainable - we can't end up with everyone spending 100% of their income on housing. The big question is, who will be holding the bag when the bubble bursts?

>1. Does that solve the close problem as well as linear types?

No, because if pointers are copyable, multiple places can point to the same memory address, and all destructor guarantees are gone. You then have use-after-free vulnerabilities, that is, a CVE.

C++ has had RAII for 30 years. It is demonstrably, empirically not good enough.

>2. Do linear types solve other problems that the above doesn't?

Linear types give you:

1. Capability-based security.

2. The ability to enforce high-level, state machine-like protocols (see the database access example) at the type level.

3. Code that performs fast in-place mutation while maintaining a purely functional interface.
That’s akin to claiming we no longer need cargo ships because we have planes that can do overnight delivery.

Air power is great but incredibly dependent on logistics.

The navy is and always has been essential to protecting trade and maintaining global supply lines So long as the sea remains the dominant method of transporting resources around the globe, sea power will remain essential.
Docstrings won't tell you if your code is valid or not. Type hints with proper linting will. Shorter feedback loops = increased productivity.
Yes. In several European countries, and I believe many parts of Brazil, collective bargaining agreements at the sectoral or employer level create a high degree of wage transparency.
I think my point may have been missed. We need to build the hard stuff, especially stuff we haven’t done, first. The Californian terrain is challenging but we’re building the easy parts of the terrain first. It doesn’t make sense except to do it this way except that it’s being run as a political project which causes problems because suddenly everyone wants their fingers in the pie.

I’m saying we SHOULD do it, but the project is horribly mismanaged by the political powers in charge.
It was a piece of code that supposed to be running with the extension, not on the browser. Though it’s fixed!

Postmortem: Co-founding a Web3 startup as a young clueless dev
Hi HN!
This is my first post. I'm doing a postmortem of my co-founding experience for people who don't have a crypto background and maybe are interested in launching a startup. It talks about ethics, community, funding, legal, meaning, all kind of stuff. It is very long so I did a pastebin!

Have fun reading and don't hesitate for questions, debate, discussion :-)

tldr; I don't recommend founding a startup in crypto unless you're ready for many weird compromises, but it was very interesting nonetheless. Also it's a wild world.
Still amazes me that people would rather consume content through an e-mail newsletter rather than subscribing via RSS. Turning your inbox into a glorified RSS feed is apparently what people would prefer.
i think at least people that learned it before 2000, they wanted to be computer scientists. Then after 2000, a lot of people just decided to be software developer because of the money. I belong to the first group. It makes me happy to stick to the bits and bytes and the hacker mentality that I had in the 90s. In another hand my wife is teacher and she has more reason to be disillusioned by her job than me :)
That depends on the ships Captain and officers onboard, frankly. If those officers didn’t care, or said they cared but didn’t prioritize the work, instead having everyone run around like crazy doing other things, that’s how you get this.

The captains have enough leeway, they can get the deck stripped and repainted if they prioritized it.

Of course, their commanders provide the environment that allows or requires them to do other things instead.

Probably too many other ‘must do’s’ and other problems.
People always want to fixate on something popular. As you say, there is literally no pathway right now from AI to annihilating humanity, but we like do dwell on in.

Meanwhile, disease research, antibiotic resistance, actual global conflict or proxy conflict between nuclear superpowers, climate change (whether the direct effect or misguided attempts to geo engineer it away), etc all have (maybe at different levels of probability) at least a clear causal way they could seriously harm people. But we'd rather talk about how a chatbot will somehow kill us.
Funny but I have already started thinking/saying the same thing. Whenever there is something that becomes so popular so fast, it brings out the worst in people.

I think Crypto will not completely die but mostly fade off in the next 2-3 years. AI in theory has a lot more applications but due to the whole ChatGPT stuff where everyone is creating "content using AI", it will crash and burn as quality of output will suffer and ultimately will be useless.

I used the excellent Dark Sky API in my home automation tool to integrate hints on whether it would start raining soon. That let it warn us to close open windows, etc. The API is going away on March 31st, so I'm headed for a rewrite and loss of some functionality. This is no fun.
It's worth spending some time exploring the rest of that blog - so much great content on there. I particularly enjoyed this one about generative art using Voronoi diagrams: https://muffinman.io/blog/breaking-down-krypton/
Unloading trains is actually very efficient. If you have a train yard with many trains lined up next to each other and with box cars aligned, you can easily carry goods from train to train, through the box cars. This is far more space efficient than the huge parking lot which is needed to accommodate the wide turns that trucks have to make in order back up to a delivery zone.

I also don't see why it would be necessary to revamp the global economy to start using trains more.
you are so wrong. Harder than "write code" is to debug and integrate it. With time and gray hair, you are going to learn it.
How will it lower the cost of housing by decreasing supply? Not everyone wants to or should buy a house. A house ties you down to one location makes mobility a lot harder when you want to change jobs and goes up your capital.
>Homes are durable goods, hence an investment. Homes that are cared for can last a hundred years or more.

This is largely context dependent. For example, Japan's homes aren't built to last as long as many American ones. Additionally, even heavily depreciating assets like cars can last virtually indefinitely with proper maintenance. (E.g., Model T's aren't really worth much because there still are many around and they are relatively easily maintained)
> You face exactly the same problem regarding byte order, size consideration and marshalling with C strings.

Not char/byte C strings. You might be thinking of wchar_t strings.

> Mishandle the null char for any reason and you now face a serious security issue.

With what string data structure can applications peak into and mishandle an implementation detail and not risk creating a security problem?

Same you have a structure with the length and a pointer. Mishandle the length field or pointer and you have a problem.

It certainly is a problem and it's common for C applications to take on responsibilities for manipulating the internals of the string structure.

This is very different your original statement. Social structures that create loneliness are not the same as "stigmatizing" loneliness. And this doesn't explain how the supposed stigma around loneliness causes loneliness in men.
That argument is way too theoretical. Some people want to own their home and others want to rent. The optimal amount of rental housing is not zero. Whether there is too much or not enough rental housing is an empirical question that depends on local conditions.
> Land value tax would fix this.

The banks decide what your house is worth and the gov then tax you based on that. Seems like a way to force people into a never ending grind and kicking out seniors. No thanks.

Describing your backup solution for all to see on a public forum is also bad opsec as attackers can learn of your strategy and go after all your stuff. They just need the names of the software, the services you backup to, and run exploits against them, and you're finished.

Market dynamics may be true, but the continued use of git has more to do with workflow than implementation. Fossil makes quite a few dogmatic choices and if one buys into them, then fantastic, but it's for sure not a drop-in replacement for the way teams develop software, and thus would require a teamwide "hard fork"

This debate comes up every time git and fossil are mentioned in each other's threads

It's funny how other commenters on HN are telling you what it probably is, even though they might not live in Toronto.

To my knowledge, it isn't any special application of product. It's literally cheap asphalt they pour on top of cracks and potholes and pound it down lightly. The reason why it's surprisingly smooth is because a thousand plus cars have driven over it, flattening it down to road level.

> "Crews place asphalt and rake it into the pothole. Then they tamp down the asphalt and smooth it out until the road surface is improved. The job takes 15-20 minutes."

They do this because it is literally impossible to get to all of the potholes in spring. Want some neat stats?

In part, because it incentivizes a lack of diversification in wealth, which leads people to support policies that protect the one egg in their basket.

Secondly, unless you own multiple properties, it's a market you can't exit. You always need a place to live so if you sell your "investment" at a market high, you have to buy your next "investment" at a market high.

Combining the two, you get a lot of policies that protect paper wealth not generating much value. I think it was Putin who said something along the lines of "I don't understand the American economy. It seems like they're just buying and selling homes to each other."
That, and stack-based cpus excel at code density, a metric which has not really been an issue for some time.
This might be more of a reflection on the governance where you are. The idea of an unregulated country sounds terrible to me, and I am unaware of examples of it working. Most countries regulate things like aircraft safety with good effect. Regulating certain professions to ensure minimum standards is another good example.

If you have any interest, check out the below link for a great piece of legislation. It protects NZ consumers and effectively puts a warranty on everything you buy here.

Another example which I appreciate every day is the regulation imposed on our telecommunications industry. We have gone from a trash copper network to an excellent fibre network that is fast and inexpensive to use - all via regulation, investment and legislation.

Regulation works just fine when done properly, and I’d like more of it here in NZ. I’d like the supermarket monopoly broken up via regulation. I’d also like the building supplies and fuels racket broken up.
