I read further, and it sounds like they've designed it with privacy in mind. That's nice.

I'm still having a hard time seeing how this doesn't eventually lead to a completely locked-down internet, where users can only use approved browsers and devices.

They have a list of steps for how a request would be made, where steps 2 and 3 are:

> 2. Safari supports PATs, so it will make an API call to Apple’s Attester, asking them to attest.

> 3. The Apple attester will check various device components, confirm they are valid, and then make an API call to the Cloudflare Issuer (since Cloudflare acting as an Origin chooses to use the Cloudflare Issuer).

In a theoretical future world where 99% of site operators have set this up for protection, and 99% of users are using approved browsers, how would one do something like...

Create a competitor to Google? You'd need to crawl the web for that. Would you imagine Apple or Cloudflare would gladly let your device request millions of tokens per hour? Or would that be throttled or disallowed entirely?

Use curl (or telnet, or [any other HTTP client]) to grab a page?

Use yt-dlp to download a YouTube video?

Scrape a bunch of data for an AI project? See this article from the front page where someone scraped a bunch of car listings from KBB and trained a model to estimate car prices and found some interesting results. https://blog.aqnichol.com/2022/12/31/large-scale-vehicle-cla... - would something like that be permitted under a system like this? Or might you need to own/rent an army of authorized devices with authorized browsers to do that experiment?
Even GoKarts?
That example does sound a bit silly. I took an American one. I'm not American. I'm fine. They're safe enough. The vaccine doesn't know it moved countries. Why shouldn't people in China be able to use European vaccines? Are their policies not evidence based? Are we going to call Chinese people unvaccinated en mass until they take European vaccines? If not, why can't Europeans use Chinese vaccines?

> Goods are produced under very different standards, different subvention systems, different economic systems, different economic policies, ...

That isn't an explanation or an argument, that is just a list of things which are true. I'm happy to read that list and then buy things that are different from what I'm used to. I'll buy stuff made by Communists, Capitalists, Muslims, fools, industrialists; all good enough for me. Halal kebab makers are the only true kebab makers! If a billion Chinese can use something without it being a problem, it seems quite likely that I can too. We're all the same species and have mostly the same problems.

It doesn't actually make sense that I need a foreign union to negotiate to let me use foreign goods. My own government could, I kid you not, just let me buy what I want and get it shipped over. It'd be easier. The local standards aren't perfect.
This is disappointing as a foreign traveler, since it helps to have stable friendly countries in Europe outside of the Schengen you can go to during times you want to reset your visa timer. For me, one of my favorite destinations for this was Croatia, where honestly you could use euros to pay for things much of the time anyway, although I mostly used a card so it auto-converted to kuna as necessary.

With this change, it means to be outside the Schengen you must now either go to less stable/safe countries, or go to the UK which is very expensive. I think you still have the option to go to Bulgaria to stay in the EU without being in Schengen, but otherwise I guess the next best option now in Montenegro, however I'm not sure how stable it is currently since it primarily existed on a tourist economy serving Russians.
Apologies for the confusion - what I was clumsily trying to bring across was that while all of Norway is in GMT+1, the westernmost parts ought really be in the same zone as the UK, seeing as we're at 6E or so.

Worse for the people up north, though - the town of Kirkenes right next to our border with Russia is actually east of Istanbul. They, too, are in GMT+1.
German parody “Dinner für Brot” featuring popular puppet characters: https://youtu.be/NkS4H5fLcq4
What's the citation for the ice core stuff? I found two papers that investigated this and neither found evidence to support the impact theory, so it seems ambiguous to me, but this isn't my field so obviously I might just be failing to find a more recent result.

If you wanna read em:

Paquay, François S., et al. “Absence of Geochemical Evidence for an Impact Event at the Bølling-Allerød/Younger Dryas Transition.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol. 106, no. 51, 2009, pp. 21505–10

Surovell, Todd A., et al. “An Independent Evaluation of the Younger Dryas Extraterrestrial Impact Hypothesis.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol. 106, no. 43, 2009, pp. 18155–58.

Update: Found (some?) ice core evidence, it is indeed more recent, but I'm hopelessly out of my wheelhouse at this point so I'll just cite it for anyone also interested and suggest that these more recent publications do seem pretty confident in their conclusion that the impact did happen. So it seems user moloch-hai is correct:

Petaev, Michail I., et al. “Large Pt Anomaly in the Greenland Ice Core Points to a Cataclysm at the Onset of Younger Dryas.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol. 110, no. 32, 2013, pp. 12917–20.

Pretty cool stuff, thanks for sharing and prompting me to learn more about it.

I went to a hotel, and they had the softest down mattresses and $4,000 pillows and $8,000 softest sheets and $15,000 blankets.

I thought this was extreme violence to make me feel so non-violent and comfortable, because after all, the United States of America is violent against every other person in the world,even their own citizens, so my supreme comfort was violence as they made me feel comfortable to forget how violent the world and the USA is. My being the most comfortable and the most safe I've ever been is the most extreme violence that the USA can do to me.
Absolutely nothing. They have no obligations at all, just like any supplier who provides something as-is. And I agree with the author of the post that it's wrong and unjust for people to think otherwise.

But so what? That does not change the fact that a person developing FOSS supplies something—in fact in most cases they supply a ton of value.

> There is no reason or proofs that suggests it can’t happen again

What we have seen is that EU-Europe has after hundreds of years of war now has a long period of stability. We see that it also has an effective EU-wide political moderation system for common values.

> As a non-EU country, they can instead undermine EU policy (ie: lower taxes, cut standards, etc..) in order to attract companies (near-shoring).

Taxes are not generally EU-wide regulated.

Near-shoring is much easier INSIDE the EU - being a near-shore offering company is inside the common market MASSIVELY simpler. That's for example why many German companies build factories in neighboring countries.

Countries geographically/economically next to the EU, but not inside the EU, are still under massive influence. Before the EU, most European countries synchronized their currency with the German DM (Deutsche Mark). There was also a monetary mechanism to do that. Basically the German central bank dictated much of the currency policy in EU, more or less indirectly. Nowadays that power has been delegated to the European central bank, where the German influence is reduced.

> The US will be happy to see the EU crash into a thousands easily manipulated city-states than the current status quo.

Not at all. Maybe the populist right of the republicans. Other than those, both Republicans and Democrats see the EU and its member states as allies. The EU provides stability and that is in the interest of everyone.

> the Russian threat for now which justifies the existence of the EU

The Russian threat justifies the existence of NATO. The EU has an independent justification of its existence. The existence of the EU is also a 'threat' to the Russian political system, since it exposes its lack of freedom, lack of democracy and the lack of prosperity of its people. Russia has nothing comparable to offer to its people and also not to the countries it tries to control.

>People living in southeast Asia 70,000 years ago were certainly sailing out of sight of land, because they reached and colonized Australia. It beggars belief to suggest they did not also go to other places in equally easy reach, and then others from there.

My understanding is that those who reached Australia did not go further, because they forgot how to build ocean-worthy vessels.

As much as I hate to post training material from ChickFilA…one of the videos they required us to watch explained this all so well and really made me stop to think about what others might be dealing with when I’m interacting with them.

> Those who want to DDoS will always find a way

This is like saying no lock will stop a thief. Cost and difficulty matter, and requiring a full browser increases the challenge for an attacker enough that some people will give up and others won’t be able to send as much traffic. That’s not perfect but speaking from experience a surprising fraction of people will give up after a naive attack fails.
You, too, will be assmad when the cultural zeitgeist decides that what you think is tolerance/jest becomes hate at some point.
That is not, in fact, a problem of Cerutti's dating. Its dating is rock solid.

The problem is clearly in preconceptions about H. migration, and beliefs about the capabilities of our ancestors long ago.

People constructed boats and settled Crete 200,000 years ago. Like it or not. Were they H. sap., in Europe already? Maybe!

So, some silly definition that isn't relevant. Got it. I think if that is what you mean, maybe you should use the word "swappable". Replacement means it is at end of life and doing extra work to change them is ok. Swappable means that you are running low and you need more power and have additional batteries that you can swap in anytime.
> the EU has serious energy problems, brewing war on the border implying diplomatic failures and is largely reliant on American military assistance.

The first two are essentially just a matter of geography; pretty sure it would have played out the same in broad lines if there had been no EU. If anything, I expect it would be worse: a more divided Europe would have been easier to defy by Putin. To call this a "diplomatic failure" is a huge simplification; you can only do so much diplomacy with someone who is not willing to engage in diplomacy with you. Ask Neville Chamberlain how his diplomacy worked out.

The US is convinced it needs an humongous army to do all sorts of useful things, like dropping napalm on children in Vietnam, drone strikes on journalists, invasion of countries for no clear reason in particular with intentionally falsified data. You know, essential stuff like that.

I'm putting it rather sharply here and I do think the US military does good things too and I "half believe" in Pax Americana, sort of, but let's not kid ourselves and claim that the US military is needed for the defence of Europe. Defend from whom, exactly? Russia? The Soviet military was already collapsing in the 80s together with the rest of the Soviet union, and we've all seen how well they're doing in Ukraine. That view is about 50 years out of date. We even have our own nukes, should it really come down to it. And who else is there to seriously threaten Europe/EU militarily? No one, basically. Even during the second world war things are not as simple as "the United States single-handedly comes to save the day in Europe" as some Americans seem to believe.

Indeed, you can use interior mutability to accomplish this:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/interior-mutability.html

Usually (read: near universally) something that provides interior mutability will implement a runtime check to protect you (eg, a lock), but you could make a footgun if you were cavalier about it. And recent I misused a framework (I kept a value returned by the framework around that should've been dropped) without realizing it was holding locks internal to the framework, and ended up with a tricky to diagnose deadlock (though only tricky before I hadn't read the documentation as closely as I should've).

> For example, if utilities are included in the rent and the utility rates shift up, then the rent will increase due to that.

This is an example of a tenant cost, not a landlord cost. In fact, the landlord may not be able to increase rent as much in the future due to the utility cost increase, because the tenant has less disposable income.

> If the tenant makes $1M/year it won’t really affect what the landlord charges them.

I don't think an extreme end of the scale is particularly useful to consider in this case; most tenants don't make $1m a year, and most people who make $1m a year don't rent.

This is relatively easy to resolve, anyway. If "Costs are frequently passed on directly" as you say, then you should be able to make some predictions about landlord costs and rent and then see them replicated in the market.

An example would be:

Many landlords have mortgages. An increase in mortgage rates in countries with non-30-year mortgage rates is an increase in landlord costs. We can expect a doubling of mortgage rates to have a significant impact on landlord costs, and thus a significant impact on rents. Do we find in countries with non-30-year mortgage rate rises that rents go up significantly more than usual with significant mortgage rate rises, or not?

You can also think of an example more to prove whether rents go up when tenant incomes go up or not, such as:

Do rent increases have a correlation with tenant income increases, or are they unrelated?

In my country (New Zealand), there is ample evidence to support landlord costs not generally being passed onto the tenants (I say generally because there will be specific instances where this isn't true).

> At law firm Nixon Peabody LLP, associates have started saying no to working weekends, prompting partners to ask more people to help complete time-sensitive work.

Working weekends was never sustainable. I don't understand why companies think that they can deliver for their customers by forcing their employees to work weekends.

That said, America has a huge problem. The way American laws are written, it causes a lot of red-tape. The only reason anything gets done is because there are time bounds on the red-tape.

But getting through more and more red-tape with fewer and fewer people, in a time limit, is extremely hard. This shows up in pressures on workers to finish what appears to be solved problems, such as payroll, compliance and, taxes.

The result of American red-tape is:

> The company, based in Columbus, Ohio, recently moved about 20 remote engineering and marketing roles to Canada and India, where she said it’s easier to find talent who will go above and beyond.

America needs to reduce red-tape before the labor force declines in this decade.
Depending on how much you want to stress it, you could do what I call "time dithering". You have a sequence of b/w images in several buffers. The first buffer represents pixels that are meant to be more than 50% black. The next represents 25% black. Then 12.5% black and so on. At each frame refresh you use the least significant digits in the system clock to decide which buffer to point at the screen. A pixel that should be x% black will be rendered black x% of the time. If it refreshes often enough then you've made whatever bit depth of color you were after.

There are many hacks that can be used to improve this method I just outlined. Eg instead of picking a new buffer every frame, you can decide "switch or stay" from the current buffer. Or even just change which ones are displayed in some predetermined repeating sequence.
> and just as many have a desire to execute someone?

Having dated someone who was aroused by this in the past year, I'm surprised its that common. I'd never heard of it before dating her, other than the Dahmer, Meiwes cases etc.

Again I think this is probably over-represented in this study due to the sourcing of participants.
I've only glanced over that paper, but they're using a processor with a 5-stage pipeline, which is really short by modern standards (Zen 1 uses a 19-stage pipeline, and I couldn't quickly find the number for subsequent versions of Zen). Using a very short pipeline significantly reduces the advantage of control flow speculation (CFS)... but they still showed CFS offering up to a ~50% advantage over their best alternative, if I'm reading that right.

I wish they had included the geometric mean of their benchmarks, but I didn't see it anywhere, and I'm not going to run the numbers right now. Even if the speedup CFS offered on a 5-stage pipeline is "only" 25%, that is still huge... and on a larger pipeline, that delta would grow. "Not much" is drastically different from my interpretation of those results.

I do think security is extremely important, but I'm not convinced that things are currently so terrible that this is the only way forward, as the authors seemed to imply.

OTOH, I would enjoy seeing a return of an Itanium-style ISA that moves a lot of speculation from the hardware to the compiler. I think compilers are in a much better place now than they were when Itanium hit the scene, which did not help Itanium's problems.

> when the source of the problem is the fact that NTP, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, the BGP daemon, the libc you run on, etc are all maintained and "fixed" and evolved by people that can barely pay for their food, even less for basic tests ?

My take: I suspect that (perhaps a majority) of us here have a distant and abstract understanding of long-term poverty (eg:hunger on the table for years at a stretch). I'd offer that even the memory of real poverty doesn't equate with presently living in a long state of active poverty.

Translating across that gap is hard.
