China's industry of “virtual people”: scandal-free influencers, performers, CSRs
I was here, and you're spouting rubbish.

Whilst the Morrison government was pretty shit, the call of "aboriginals are getting more from Centrelink than me" is not at all a new one, and can't be attributed back to them. And comparing our government at the time to the Trump administration is laughable.

The "acceptable discourse" is no more right wing or conservative since Abbott. If anything, progressive voices are louder. You know Rudd was publicly against gay marriage as a sitting PM, and it was passed under a Liberal government, right?

If you want to see the evolution of our acceptable discourse, go read a Murdoch rag from 40 years ago. A few opinion pieces from The Herald in the 80s might let you see what "acceptable discourse" was then compared to now.
The rust borrow checker has been described in trivial terms many times. The first time I had it explained, as I recall, was as a book.

You own a book.

`&` - You can lend others the book, they can't fuck with it.
`&mut` - You can lend the book to one person, they can fuck with it
`move` - You give someone else the book, it's theirs now

Or `many reader NAND one writer`

Is this a complete explanation? No. But it's quite simple and you can be plenty productive with just this amount of understanding.

Your experience is not my experience. I used Rust for the first project I wrote as an intern after dropping out, having never used it before, and I even used it to interact with mysql, which I had never used before.

At my last company I had multiple people pick up rust in a matter of days.

I'm not denying rust as being difficult, I'm saying it's easy for some and hard for some. I found it easy, I was writing productive code on day 0 with virtually no preparation other than that I wanted to try it out. Many people find it easy. Obviously some people, many people, find it hard. Life's weird like that.
I remember the Turbo C++ manual being interesting and something about Frank Borland on a beach.

Nobody suggested that the Minister had to be personally involved. The point remains that the only certain effect of the law is that every foreign purchase will incur a $10,000 fine. If the overworked courts deign to get involved, the property might have to be sold, again!

Given the government's storied, multilateral, multi-decade unwillingness to do anything about the housing crisis (many MPs and MPPs are landlords!), I just don't see this law as anything but a $10,000 cost of doing business.

The BBC Microcomputer had an "Escape" key and a potentially misleadingly named "Break" key - but "Break" was actually more like a reset key (with CTRL-Break being a "harder" reset and SHIFT-Break prompting the computer to boot off a floppy disk).

But one nice feature was that if you were simply programming in BASIC and immediately typed OLD after hitting "Break", you had a chance of recovering your program if you weren't unlucky.

And the other feature which this comment reminded me of - at least some models of the BBC Micro had a hardware lock on the "Break" key, so with a small screwdriver you could turn a little piece of plastic to completely prevent the key being pressed!
I don't trust any "private" settings in any public social networks, for anything remotely serious.

Anything I publish on any social network I'd be also comfortable seeing posted on every wall in foot-tall letters, with my real name attached to it. Were I not be comfortable with that, I won't post it.

I consider all "private" or "limited" posting provisions on all social networks as paper walls at best, one small devops or SWE mistake from being torn and becoming visible to public. Maybe I'm overshooting a bit, but my past experience shows that it's not much of an exaggeration. So I never use any "private" features and post everything I ever post as openly as possible.

Social media is a colander. Expect anything and everything to leak. Embrace being public.

If you want something with more real privacy, as in not likely to leak if all parties involved take reasonable care, use something that was built with privacy in mind, like, IDK, Signal, or maybe a private Telegram chat, or a private Mastodon instance only accessible through a VPN which you personally and competently operate. Of course it's unlikely to hide you from state-level actors, but at least it's more likely to protect you from simple operator blunders.

+1 to this.

I really share your thought and sentiment on this matter.

I think an example of successful local-first is email and I'm still using email as my main messaging software. The fact that you can receive and send email seamlessly between different companies and organizations is just amazing. Sadly, however, now most of the people do not have their own domain and their emails are mostly managed by big corporations.

All the best for your Replica application, will keep track on the progress.
its zoning that explains everything about today's home prices

Not really. Vancouver, one of the worst places in Canada for foreign investment driving up prices, has been adding new high density housing as fast as it can for 20 years now. One of the primary constraints is the construction trade that can't keep up with demand.
However many foreigners will be punished as a result, even if their participation in the housing market was going to be in good faith and aligned with the public interest.

If the actual problem is vacant units, then punish vacancy.

Failing to do that is admitting that xenophobia is easier than good policy.
Why would the Australian government intervene in the housing market when they can just ride the wave of infinite foreign investment instead? If the goal was actually to ensure that Australian families could afford a reasonable quality of life they would have done something about the housing market 40 years ago.
> Hard to say without knowing what is meant by "dangerous". :-)

Yeah, so when I say strong, I don't mean the sort of minor nibbling Scala is doing in the linked metaprogramming feature or that C and C++ have in their "pre-processor".

The published nightly_crimes! procedural macro for Rust mostly "just" replaces your running compiler process with a new one that thinks it is compiling itself (or its standard library) and so it's allowed to provide the unstable nightly features even though it's a stable compiler.

But it's clear that if you said "Aha we fixed the compiler to stop that happening" Mara could write a new macro which finds say a WiFi connection, guesses your password, and uses it to download an actual nightly Rust build, and installs it so that it can replace the running compiler with that.

You can't stop Rust's proc macros from seizing control of everything and doing whatever they want, they're full blown code execution during your build process, that is what dangerous means. Rust proc macro authors must exercise extreme care as a result.

This is probably too much power, but when people talk about a "real" macro system they clearly are expecting less power than this, and so lets agree we're talking about a less powerful macro system, not a more "real" one.
Your idea sounds awesome and I hope I'll hear more about it soon.

> I'm sick of having to decide between using cloud software and using local software

However, I want to point out there's an additional option that is becoming more and more accessible in recent years and that is self-hosting, either on a local server or a rented VPS. Most cloud based applications have several self hosted equivalents at various stages of development.

Stupid is fast, so I scale my mind by being wrong in public. The downside is it alienates people who trade on being conscientious, but once you can get them in the rhythm of catching you out, you can add minds to a problem non-linearly.

"Unenforced"? No, no -- the $10,000 fine will be collected. It's just the forced sale that might not occur if the superior courts are busy (and they are!), and if it does occur, the foreign nearly-buyer will be out $10,000. There's no need to encourage baseless Reddit speculation, just read the law itself -- I've linked it, you've linked it -- and reason about how the government will act based on the last 30 years of government (in)action.
It’s a shame that there aren’t really anyone in the same vein as Douglas Adams (clever, witty, enthusiastic when he wants and cutting when he needs, and overpoweringly nerdy).

Reading some of his articles the other day (written for MacUser), there was no negativity, no angst, no flame war (but a healthy dose of irony); just pure enthusiasm about the cool new things we could do with the cool new computers and assorted gizmos. We could use more of that.
So they make around $150K/year but likely pay more tax, higher overheads, and have to fund their own benefits out of that. Depending on where they live this could either be a very good income or only marginally higher than tech wages with much higher risk/stress. That's on 2M-6M viewers too.

Makes me wonder how YouTube channels like Linus Tech Tips are able to seemingly hire around one-hundred full time staff? I have to imagine revenue from their other sources (e.g. their merchandise, sponsors, other?) is the majority of their income if this is what we can expect from YouTube.

Regardless thanks for sharing.

> Rust is harder than any other mainstream language to do that in.

It's not hard, you just add boilerplate. Cloning data, using interior mutability, or adding ref counting to deal with cases where multiple "owners" can keep an object around independently.

Then removing the boilerplate is how you do optimization, once you've gotten things to work. The opposite of other languages where low-level code is the most verbose and least intuitive.
So the "rich people" in this country just stay at hotels when they visit here. I don't know why the mentality is different but it is. I guess they just feel it's easier to access so less anxiety about "securing a piece of land" or something.

Our theory is that for the foreign owners of the properties, it's mostly a status symbol, like a gucci bag or something, to say "I've got a place in blah, please come visit sometime".

But yeah, as most have said, even for a wealthy person from this country, they generally aren't a match if a bidding war kicks off, they'll lose.

Also as I said earlier, there is a weird preferential treatment given to "white people", it's really hard to understand but it does exist as much as I hate to say it. Even though mostly properties end up being owned by foreigners from Asia, the white people are the face of the operation.

Like I said, I hate to say it, but it's just facts, it's sad it's happening really.

There are efforts for local intervention, such as a "council" who seems to be trying to put together a fund to buy places before they move to offshore ownership, they just seem a bit slower than the property pros.

Other people have hit the pros, but I'll reiterate a con about public content:

- If your content is good and is about something that hasn't been written about in public before, expect to be plagiarized.

I've been surprised at the people and publications who have no problem copy and pasting some of my content and passing it off as their own "research".

Sometimes authors will realize their mistake, apologize, give a proper citation or use their own content. I don't think people like that are out to plagiarize, I think it can be easy to be swamped with work/academics/literal research and confuse what you've read with your own "research" without giving it much thought.

However, it looks like there are actual businesses based on republishing articles other people have written, that will take others' content and copy and paste it into new related articles without citations. I've contacted two and heard nothing back from them, even tried to reach out to the authors of the articles that were published and nothing. All I wanted was a citation.

They're counting on original authors not knowing the plagiarized content exists, not knowing their rights and not filing DMCA takedown requests or having lawyer send them C&D notices.

So yeah, go into this knowing that you won't get paid and people will be paid to plagiarize what you've written.
A vacancy tax is the non-racist approach, which attacks the problem directly.

However it is politically challenging because it also affects local monied interests, who under Canada's anti-foreigner law are able to continue exacerbating the housing problem without check.
Okay, but I like discourse. Do you care to elaborate and state your disagreement? (Friendly tone here, I really do like discussions)
If you use the car every day (as, I believe, most people in the US do) - there is a strong incentive to invest in the quality of that part of your life. Like, everybody understand why you need good bed frame, mattress, pillows and bedsheets.

Ahh, good idea - outlaw vacation homes and private leisure travel.
Well I provide services primarily to a space they’re not in at all.

The cloud providers I target are more seen as “infrastructure providers“ and dont have managed services of their own (except OVH). Offering services on the big 3 providers is something I’ve thought about but is a ways down the road for me.

If you are referencing how the services differ I suspect mine will be worse in every way other than complexity, the big 3 cloud providers have a lot of engineering prowess to throw at any given problem —- Nimbus is more aimed at doing a better job than you could have done in less time (as a IaaS user who has to set up all their own infrastructure), and providing support.

It turns out there are a LOT of open source projects that are extremely good/stable, and mostly work once you set them up properly/ensure they can’t fail catastrophically. Nimbus does the work your sysadmin would do, then makes it available to you.
Technically you can implement whatever you want under a `GET` - you can even stuff a body to a `GET` even though the RFC doesn't allow it (see ElasticSearch API).

However that doesn't mean it's a good implementation. What you're doing there is gonna break caching for example, unless that's intended. If I'm calling a `GET` and your service is behaving like a `POST`, I'm not gonna be able to rely on standard semantics for a lot of things!!!
> 1. I sincerely doubt that the courts will let the law remain unenforced. Let's agree to disagree on that.

Then you don't know Canadian enforcement very well. I've been a Canadian for 35 years and I can say with conviction that most laws around real estate or commercial corruption aren't enforced.

Almost all my Chinese friends who aren't already wealthy let overseas "investors" use their accounts to transfer 50k/y. They open an account, and allow a lawyer/banker to do transfers in their behalf. Then the lawyer transfers 50k in it, transfers it to their client, leaves 2-3k. There have been dozens of lawyers and accountants that were caught aiding in this scheme, but the fine is around 70k, so it's just the cost of doing business.
They might not judge you more in a large city, or be any more interested in you per see - they might just be a little bit more eager to check if you might be dangerous. As in places with many encounters with many people, the risk is higher.
Well Bolero runs on Blazor and that runs mono runtime on interpreted mode. So it's not something you would want your code to run if you need high perf.
I am inclined to agree with you. But, it seems like there are people that we derive benefit from doing this in public and don’t care about the potential consequences. I think these people are really outliers and your advice makes sense for most people. It could also be that those that are successful at it are not all really “thinking in public” but are still curating their messaging (though, it be sure, sone are not).

San Francisco under Chesa Boudin (who is now gone) presumably?

My first google suggests that shoplifting prosecutions in San Francisco were reduced but not eliminated, and that "organized retail theft" prosecutions (which I see people complaining about on HN a lot) were actually not diminished at all.

https://www.sfexaminer.com/archives/data-shows-chesa-boudin-...

I don't understand how you can claim it was not an exageration to say:

"[declare] entire segments of the criminal code void by saying they will not peruse any cases for violations of those acts. Shoplifting is one such law they often ignore"

Was I wrong to read that thinking it meant you were claiming there were zero prosecutions of shoplifting? That's not what those words mean? What "segment of the criminal code" did you mean specifically had been "void", what am I misunderstanding?

No criminal acts have ever been universally prosecuted and punished, ever.

But ok, correcting my reading of your statement, I now understand that your argumentis in fact that the "#1 action" of "reformers" (by which you mean elected district attorney's only, not other kinds of reformers), has been to reduce prosecutions for shoplifting (I'm not sure what a DA can "reform" except what gets prosecuted how!), and that you think that reducing prosecutions for shoplifting will necessarily lead to unaccountable private security.

That's really what you think we should have understood your original statement as? It sounds a lot less apocalyptic or sweeping of a theory this way. But ok, that's what you're saying. OK, cool, interesting theory...

I'm working on SourceShield (https://sourceshield.io) - a software supply chain security platform that's fully integrated into developer workflows/tooling (GitHub, AWS, etc.). I just started working on it a few weeks ago, so it's more of a set of tools/PoCs at this point. I'm focusing less on dependency security (which is quite a saturated market - think products like Snyk) and more on the other components of the supply chain: SCM, pipelines, build tooling, integrity validation, etc.
