> deregulated free market sucking people dry in the US over basic needs, forcing them to live with outrageous rents, childcare, healthcare, living costs.

Hilarious. Those are all expensive because of government constraints -- the profit-seeking free market is unable to drive prices down because regulations have raised barriers to entry and dramatically reduced competition and innovation. Meanwhile more lightly-regulated sectors show clear negative inflation.

But even before getting to the mechanism, I don't think the actual reality totally matches what you've deacribed. Rents in the US are generally not "outrageous" (obvious exceptions excepted), and living costs are low -- fuel is cheap, electricity is cheap, food is cheap. Far from "sucking people dry" the corporations in those industries are providing for people much better than any government agency.

See this famous chart for the receipts -- which things government interferes with, and which are becoming more expensive: https://inflationdata.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2019/1...

Sigstore does this with a transparency log instead of a Blockchain.
I would prefer imitated components any day compared to dealing with the actual SDK native components. Especially when there is "one code" that compiles into corresponding these components on different platforms. These things always change with each SDK version on each platform, and there needs to be a lot of messy hand-stitching in the library (React Native) to keep things working as expected.

> While there is a wage gap, our result occurs primarily because most female physicians do not work enough hours to rationalize medical school whereas most men do.

The important part is here. The wage gap isn't because of discrimination or sexism like certain parties or factions claim. The wage gap is mostly a working gap. But that doesn't grab the headlines. Mass media would rather misinform and outright lie to the public. That's sadly the result of turning news into a profit-making private enterprise rather than a public good.
It seems that I fell for the myth of the riots. However, it is true that the Tories opposed the change bitterly, in part for sensible reasons (if done improperly, it would have caused a full rent to be payable for a 19-day month), and in part because it was a Whig proposal.

Blind opposition because it was the other party's idea? We can all be glad that this no longer happens.

Kudos to the author, really needed to be said. I really liked the bolts and “screwed” play on words. Great article.

As members of the tech community, we need to be careful of overwork and manipulation. I hold in high regard the numerous developers that maintain the libraries and packages that make my work possible. Unpaid labor is a huge problem in FOSS, people need to get paid.

Get paid, don’t work for free.
The "new" HTTP is clearly targeted at the "approved browser".

For example, this alleged "head-of-line blocking problem" that HTTP/2 purportedly "solves" was never a problem of HTTP outside of a specific program, the graphical web browser, the type of client that tries to pull resources from different domains for a single website. Not all programs that use HTTP need to do that.

For instance I have been using HTTP/1.1 pipelining outside the browser for fast, reliable information retrieval for close to 20 years. It has always been supported by HTTP servers and it works great with the simple clients I use. I still rely on HTTP/1.1 pipelining today, on a daily basis. Never had a problem.

There are uses for pipelining besides the ones envisioned by "tech" companies, web developers and their advertiser customers.
That’s true. GOP Supreme Court picks have skewed far more towards elite libertarians than the actual GOP base. But Justice Barrett is a Midwestern church mom, which is a core GOP constituency.

Yeah, I think that's the most viable solution to this problem. The US federal govt should fund software projects that are widely used. It's good for our national security, and it facilitates economic growth.

This could either be grants to maintainers, grants to software nonprofits like linux foundation, or some kind of national software lab that employs people to maintain and audit open source software (or ideally, all of the above)

I'm Slovene and now we have the same currency and open borders with Croatia again after 22 years.

One of the reasons Yugoslavia fell apart is because the richer north didn't want to pay for the under-developed south. EU has the same problem. The currency without a political union is a time-bomb. I also think the loss of the (educated) population to the north is unsustainable. Croatia has lost 10% of the population since it joined the EU.

> All your customs office has contributed here is a rubber stamp saying "the work the Americans have already done is good enough"

The customs office does not test nor does it approve vaccines. That's done by the European Medicines Agency ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en ). This Agency is under EU control. The respective US authorities are not under EU control, they are under the control of the US government.

I would also not expect that the US companies give me the same vaccines from the same production sites.

i’m also not a native english speaker, but having to pass english certification exams made me a lot more of pronunciation.

So which exactly are the countries that are “tangibly worse” after joining the EU?

Let’s look at the past 40 years. Spain and Portugal have obviously gained immensely from membership. Sweden and Finland are better positioned inside the union than Norway which remained outside and became a rule-taker (implements EU law but gets no say). Former Soviet states like Estonia are very happy to be part of the West European community. Etc.

If you say “Greece,” then you’ll have to point to concrete evidence that the country would have somehow fared better outside the EU because it was such a basket case all along.
The “federal dependency” metric you linked is extremely misleading, so much so that I cannot seriously believe it is a honest mistake rather than a deliberate deception. Quoting my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33796536

> for example, according to their methodology, a state that collects $1k in taxes per capita, and gets $4k from federal government, while spending $5k per capita, is more dependent on federal government than a state that collects $10k in taxes, gets $10k from feds and spends $20k, which is absurd.

This is because of the proprietary closed-source blobs needed to make many newer cameras work. Lineage can't redistribute that code or they would get into legal shit.

That would be unwise from a Greek perspective, because of Erdolfs ambitions and posture.
Russia could have been part of the EU

Not in the time frame you're implying. In 1991, the EU did not even exist in its current form (it was established in 1993). Eastwards expansion only started in 2004, when Poland and Czechia were among the first former iron-curtain countries to join. Putin became PM of Russia in 1999.

Right to repair is quickly starting to enter similar territory as the 'free software' absolutists. Basically, people who refuse to basically look at the current environment of software / hardware realistically and decry their outdated ideals onto everyone else.

All I generally care about is that I can get my data off of a device after some kind of failure or having a reasonably priced solution from the manufacturer. If the company I purchase from doesn't hold up their side of the bargain - I just buy somewhere else. I have five machines I've built in the past three years, admittedly I've only changed things in those maybe once a year. Never actually ended up needing an upgrade in any of my laptops.

Independent repair shops have done more damage than good to every device I brought them in most cases, I've legitimately never had an issue getting devices fixed or replaced by Apple.

HN's blob of title rules are not really 'literal titles' but also include things like 'it's ok to have to click to find out what something is about'. Plus preventing editorializing ends up being a more important goal than knowing what every post might be up front. You can think of it as a bit of curiosity roulette.

A better (and often recommended) solution is to submit more interesting articles about a topic than the generic Wikipedia one. Those tend to have better titles as a free bonus.

These attacks are more and more common and there's still little to actually solve them.

We're working on this at Chainguard by starting at the lowest levels (a containerized Linux distro) where we can deliver packages safely. Then we can use that layer to safely deliver language packages, like in this case.

This is all being done in the open, with projects like Sigstore (sigstore.dev) and our Linix distro Wolfi (wolfi.dev).

This is an incredibly complicated space and there's no silver bullet. We need to build safe delivery mechanisms for trustworthy software.

Linux distros have traditionally done this very well, but they've struggled to solve language package manager distribution, leading developers to shy away from and work around them when installing things like PyTorch.

Our hope is that we can bring the trustworthiness of Linux distros to language package managers, and the ease of language package managers to Linux distros.
This is probably true for everyone outside of certain low risk high return fields (like CS).

Regarding the gender angle, I'm reminded that the income gap is really between husbands and wives. Unmarried, childless women earn significantly more than unmarried, childless men on average. The primary issue revolves around which parent leaves a career to stay home with children. Career gaps are extremely costly.

If you factor in opportunity cost and lost wages for school years along with compound interest then most degrees will never generate a positive ROI. On average, degrees barely break even with their cost, but some degrees are far more lucrative than others -- meaning other degrees are far below breakeven ROI.

Taking a mid-career break makes it massively harder to overcome the costs related to obtaining a degree. This would be true for either men or women.
Rather 90% or 95% of the effect is probably not due to discrimination. Not 100% of the phenomenon is explained by working less. Be honest.

> 10 - Fermi problems. Good to get an indication of a candidate's problem solving skills.

Well, you could ask them to solve a problem that might realistically come up on the job.

There are a lot of professions that require problem solving, but they don't use Fermi problems.

Interviewees for car mechanic or doctor positions don't get asked how many piano tuners there are in Chicago. They get asked questions like "A 2021 Prius is emitting a high-pitched whine and exhibiting poor acceleration from stop lights. What is the likely cause?" or "This patient has a blood pressure of foo/bar, a creatinine level of blah and has this other symptom blugh. What would be your next step?" If you gave them a Fermi problem they'd probably walk out the door.

Many of these "interview questions" are basically just cargo cult stuff. The company has heard that Microsoft or one of the FAANGs has used some weird-assed question at some point, and thinks that if only they do the same, they'll be the next FAANG. It's a tacit admission that the hiring manager actually has no clue as to how to evaluate a candidate based on metrics that are actually relevant to the job.
Props to the author of the malware — not for executing a supply chain attack, but for making malware that’s not obvious to detect when running. It snags only 1000 files in HOME, only those less than 100k, and then caps it off by uploading via DNS.

I hate to “give props” to the bad guy, but as a former pentester this area is fascinating. The cat and mouse game is eternal, and both sides evolve. This malware is pretty standard, but it’s also smart — you can tell it was developed by a dev to target devs.

Any progress on blocking exfiltration via DNS? It seems only malicious programs make heavy queries like this, and it should be detectable. Even a small ML network could probably be trained to tell the difference between legit queries and malware uploads.

>It's bad for freedom

So are laws in the real world about stealing.

>Talking about the "privacy" of what has been made publicly available makes no sense.

Yes, it does. Users often wish to be able to delete or make something that was once public private. For example someone could post a picture of themselves on twitter. A year later they are no longer comfortable with having pictures of themself online so they go and delete them. Despite the user deleting them malicious scrapers will not delete them and keep those images. Another example would be setting your real name to your twitter name. Later you aren't comfortable using your real name so you change it away. Scrapers may still have your real name despite you wanting it to be a secret.
This is a weirdly arrogant authoritarian attitude you have against other's using their devices.

By using that unrooted custom ROM, it's not like root doesn't exist anymore, you just don't have it. The people who built the ROM have root, not you. They own your phone. It's their phone, not yours.

Having access to a root shell isn't bad, or dangerous, or a security risk. Not having means not having ownership of the device.
I'd love to have the time. Family and work take it almost all up. Compilers, semantic models and type systems are of high interest for me and I've done some work related to those. But I'd be out of my depth. There are many more areas that could be contributed to. Hats off if he wrote the docs as well as the compiler, it's great technical writing, as an example of another area that usually needs assitance.

Nowadays, I need to pull larger-scale integrations of libraries together, and the quality of the supply chain along with productive development practice occupy my mind. I suppose I wouldn't be out of my depth to work on the Jetbrains IDE plugin.

I tend to buy licenses for tools I use (Sublime), I'd help a Patreon. If this could acquire foundation support like Rust did, it might reach a similar position.
Unilateral Attempts to Contain China’s Technology Ambitions Will Fail
No, there is a wage gap, which is discriminatory - it says that right in your quote - but the major impact on the studies analysis , which has to do with comparing lifetime earnings versus cost of education, had more to do with women opting out of the workforce.
It’s cool to be excited about this - who wouldn’t be? - but you’re using very definitive language for highly speculative. The article outlines a timeline which, as with the post you’re replying to, is compatible with the White Sands lake footprints.

The Cerutti site _could_ completely upset that theory but it’s far from proven that it’s not a misunderstanding, or that it was Homo sapiens and not another hominid. That would be exciting in its own right, but until there’s more confirmation we should be careful not to describe these as facts or highly-probable.
I'm progressive and live in an east coast city - but to be honest I don't support the proliferation of sex work or the removal of social stigma.

Sites like OnlyFans are really just a conduit for further exploitation and promoting the idea to other young women that selling their bodies is an acceptable form of income.

It's certainly dystopian for AirBnB to target customers like this - but the government is who pioneered this kind of outsourced sleuthing.

No, I was being light-hearted, but "taking detailed notes about every poop" is the essence of what made the 4 crop system different. His focus on different kinds of poop lead to his focus on turnips, which is what made his system unique. Turnips, poop, crops: a revolution. I didn't think any level of detail was necessary since it was a light-hearted but good example of what the title mentions: "New industries come from crazy people."
> Indeed, residents of these states were underpaying federal income taxes

More accurately, federal tax policy was previously neutral on state tax policy, and now it has an active thumb on the scale deliberately attempting to push state tax policy toward that favored by less-successful states.
