That's a bit too cynical, I think. People post follow-up/related stories because the brain likes to follow chains of associations.

You're right that these chains tend towards already-familiar associations, which lower their value as HN stories. The best HN stories are the ones that can't be predicted from any existing sequence: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
Note that's the somewhat unintuitive "proportion of households that is owner-occupied". Kids moving back in with their parents after college, for instance, would still count as owner occupied.
> It feels like social security should be split into two things: disability for workers pre-retirement, and a Trust fund for retired workers.

It...is: the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Disability Insurance Trust Fund are separate funds that pay for different programs administered by Social Security.

> They are using the first as a justification to plunder the second

No, “they” (who?) aren’t.

> If it was just a retirement trust fund it would be ludicrous for the government to handle it in the way they do.

The OASI trust fund is, essentially, just a retirement trust fund, but it doesn’t seem like you have a clue how SS is run.

This is a great story because it's not just about welding. I have seen many data science teams working under similar conditions: spending 90% of their time doing miscellaneous bullshit and 10% doing data science at best.

Recall that data science itself is 80-90% data cleaning and basic exploratory analysis, so that means no more than 1-4% of their overall time is spent doing the work that they're actually trained to do, and that you are actually paying them to do.

They look productive because they are always busy. But really they need helpers (data engineers and dev/data ops people) to do all the random software work, so the data scientists can actually build models, meet with senior leadership, and all the other actually value-generating work that justifies their high price tag, and moreover keeps them happy with the work so they are more likely to actually stay at your company.

Flaw No. 3: Omission of a fair use exemption and Flaw No. 4: Omission of a safe harbor exemption will flood gates of hell when it comes to data privacy concerns.

Fair use IS the current GDPR regulations. There is absolutely nothing fair in violating these policies.

"Safe Harbor exemption" reads like basically allowing companies to process their data in places like the US with weak or non-existent data protection regulations. GDPR instantly becomes useless.

> This GDPR mandate can quickly become unmanageable for data brokers. Consider a company that sells data to hundreds of firms in different jurisdictions. How would the data broker guarantee that each one would follow the data protection law in its jurisdiction?

Yes? That's kind of the whole point?
The doctor should not react with horror in any case, because the doctor is a medical professional, not a paid actor in a pro-life advertisement, and I would certainly hope for him to behave as such.

I'm not sure what your fixation with how criminals die is about -- there is no "nice" way to die, just more painful and less painful ones, more prolonged and less prolonged ones. Euthanasia gives us a choice that, speaking purely of the physical experience, is on the often-preferred end of the spectrum.

The doctor should consider it to be an acceptable measure under a limited set of circumstances, and should consider it not to be acceptable in almost all other circumstances. In all cases, the decision is only to be taken by the person whose life is going to end. All the doctor can do is authorize or deny that decision, never to make it on their behalf.

Family should often be consulted by the doctor in order to make that decision in an informed manner, but family doesn't get a vote. Your family does not own you or your body.

I don't have any prior commitment to "ending the lives of others", and to say so is to willfully misinterpret what I have said to an absurd extreme. My only commitment is to others, and myself, being able to decide how to end our own lives, and no one else's lives but our own, in a dignified manner, when our very existence entails suffering.

It does not matter whether I "like the sound of it" or not. I am not currently seeking euthanasia, and I am not a doctor for someone who is, so rest assured that nobody is asking for my opinion. What matters is if the person whose life is going to end does, given that they are of sound mind to make such a judgement.

I'm glad you will still try. We should always try to make others' lives better, to provide better lives instead of easier deaths. But sometimes we won't be able to.

My personal opinion is to not paint wood at all (finishing it of course is all good) but it's highly nuanced. Particle board or cheap stuff isn't meant to be aesthetic so it's fine to paint it. I used to own a wood sailboat and a previous owner painted over a lot of interior/exterior teak which is just a travesty to me (I stripped it all and it took a couple weeks but was worth it). Paint can be tasteful though - that greenish staircase in the article is quite nice.
It's all up to the owner/customer though, paint just needs maintenance and it often isn't maintained (such is wood anyway).

They also let you remove your domains long before they expire. I once tried it, it gets automatically "catched" and offered for an eye-watering amount. Godaddy have nothing to lose, ICANN charges them only 18 cents per domain, why not cybersquat.

It’s dangerous to draw lines. Where should we draw the age line? 80? 70? 60? I know people in their 70s with better cognitive abilities than the average middle age person.

In that case, let’s ask for cognitive tests to gain the right to vote! Unfortunately there will be people who will never be capable of passing the test even during their 20s or 30s.
Those who cannot pass the test could be less capable thanks to the environment (poor neighborhoods, poor education, bad childhood, missing one or two parents, exposed to toxic chemicals during pregnancy) or simply less lucky in the genetic side.

Are we ready to take away the right to vote from old people even if they are more capable than you and me? If not, are we ready to take away the right to vote from less privileged people?
Can someone suggest an editor for macOS with smart text algorithms to allow work on unlimited file size or line length? I need to view unlimited text, switch between encodings (including hex) and I want editor with proper algorithms, so it'll work instantly and without loading entire file in the memory. Should support search with fast regex engine.

Editing would be nice too. I imagine editing as a sequence of actions that editor remembers and can undo/redo (including search/replace) and saving is actually applying that sequence of actions to the original file in some smart way.

Also I want it to start instantly, so I can use it as my general text file editor.

Colours, autocompletions and other nonsense is strictly not needed. Just black text on white background.

All those editors just die when I'm trying to edit a simple file of several hundreds GBs with lines of several GBs.
HN still needs a [paywall] for posts that are "on the internet, but not really".
The argument from Andrej Karpathy is that humans use vision and vision alone, so if we can learn to drive by vision, then so should an ML model. A radar is a sensor a human doesn't have, but we can gauge distance, and they also do introduce potential supply chain issues. So limiting the number of sensors is beneficial there. He also makes the argument that you have a tonne of data already. 8 1.2mp cameras, so 9.6 million pixels or effectively 9.6 million separate data points used to train the model. When you have that much data, what does including some relatively low resolution radar information give you that you couldn't infer from vision?

I don't know enough about AI to know if he's right, but it makes some sense to me. I think my biggest issue with it is that human eyes are insanely high quality, able to adapt to huge changes in light levels and clean themselves every few seconds. I know Teslas have issues with cameras being blocked by sunlight and things like that. A human can just move their head and use the sun visor.

With my limited knowledge I think vision probably is the ultimate way forward, but maybe they're too early. Perhaps there's some breakthrough we need to simplify the problem. I don't think Tesla will be the first to start making money from autonomous vehicles. I think Waymo will be the first. LIDAR isn't scalable but it simplifies a big part of the problem to the point that you can generate revenue from autonomous taxis while you train and perfect the general purpose vision model in the long term.

The article's story anecdote of "blue light" is about finding the true value in a process. Blue light means the welder is actually creating value in the product. Anything else in the process does not help build value to the product. It is all non-value added activities. The non-value added activities might be necessary such as setup, delivery, reposition or what not but it doesn't drive value. By maximizing the blue light welding operation it maximizes value being created. Maximizing value will minimize extraneous activities that don't help make a finished product and should decrease cycle time for the value-added activity.

This all can be learned from The Goal by Goldgratt which is a story about theory of constraints.

I haven't read the 1Password whitepaper, could you elaborate?

Linux without kernel-level VTs seems like a good idea. As a long time user, it will be weird, but ultimately welcome. I think for most desktop setups, it'll be better if all of the weird old fbdev, text mode and VT garbage is cleared out; some of it may still be needed in the kernel codebase itself, but I don't think we need it in desktop kernels.

Luckily, it looks like 2023 might be our year. This Reddit post details an exploration earlier this year:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/sycbn0/showstoppers_...

And came to the conclusion that everything was almost ready, with the notable exception of Plymouth, which handles the boot splash in most desktop distros.

Well, it seems like that issue was fixed:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/13...

So in theory, Plymouth, a recovery console, terminal emulators, and Wayland compositors are all able to work with CONFIG_VT=n, if the pieces are all put together. I think in this case, your logind implementation would handle the switching; it already handles switching resources when VTs are changed, so this makes enough sense.

I think there's a lot of anxiety around being able to build robust and dependable bits at the bottom layer, and it's pretty justified honestly. But if the Linux desktop stack is able to succeed at it, it seems like it could lift off a lot of legacy kernel code, offer improved internationalization and accessibility for terminal sessions, improve the seamlessness and integration of early boot and terminal sessions, and so forth.

There may never be a "year of the Linux Desktop" that meets everyone's criteria, but 2023 looks to be another year where long-standing efforts finally start to bear fruit more substantially. I'm looking forward to it.

> There's no reason SS is age based and not means based

Political support for Social Security has always been based on the proposition that it is universal and that the benefit reflects contribution. While not required by law -- Social Security taxes are an ordinary income tax per the US Supreme Court -- this has been the explicit contract the government has made and reaffirmed repeatedly with the people for generations. It is an embedded part of the institution of Social Security.

Fundamentally changing the rules at this point would be viewed as a serious violation of trust between the people and the government, at a time when that trust is already at historic lows. Pragmatic politicians also understand that this would greatly erode support for Social Security taxes, since willingness to pay that 12.4% income surtax is strongly connected to the conception that this money will be returned to them in old age. Most politicians have the survival instinct to not even suggest this is not the case, legal technicalities aside.

Shadow banning has various definitions. The typical definition I encounter is how it works (worked?) on Reddit: you could see your own comments and posts when logged in, but no one else would.

The "shadow ban" on Twitter that's garnering so much attention was manual down ranking of content. I'm not even sure if it's productive to call this shadow banning. Some content is given more visibility by the algorithm than others. Nobody is surprised by this. The main distinction in Twitter is that the downranking was manual, done to specific accounts. This realistically can't be detected, not evaded since abandoning a popular Twitter account is not an option. And for famous people, the downranking would be applied to their new account anyway.
Oh, it wasn't clear that that is what you meant. Thanks for elaborating in a sibling comment.
If it only trusts the certs from distro maintainers then surely it will be distributed as part of the normal package sources. If you need to add a cert, then the problem is exactly the same as adding a repository to the package manager; if the delivery mechanism of the instructions is compromised you're hosed.

Powershell will accept codesigning certs that are signed by verisign, so the workaround for an attacker who has already compromised a web site is to modify and re-sign the script with a certificate that can be obtained for $60.
