Well if it costs more why are we doing it in the first place? It was my understanding that online payment processing was orders of magnitude cheaper/faster/easier per transaction. Updates and infrastructure require a centralized system to maintain but in the case of tap chip cards, you basically reduce transaction time and effort to 0.

This isn't just about small mom and pops either, but huge city walmarts and grocery stores who never have a moment of downtime, the amount of productivity gain from having instant easy payment allows those business to service drastically faster and higher significantly less staff, producing what across the world is probably ridiculous profit.

I understand they cost money but how much is the question. I agree some kind of fee system but a dollar + some percent on every transaction? Looking back at my credit card history that would be an insane amount of money, thousands and thousands of dollars over the years that I've paid directly to the card processor. And they need millions of people doing that just to be able to run a complex aws system? On top of ad revenue as well? Some fees are okay but that sounds like way too much.
If you live in the EU or the UK, this might also be a personal data breach that Facebook must report to the relevant national data protection authority, because it gave your private data to an unauthorised third party (if the release of that data could risk your rights or freedoms). Failure to notify so can result in fines of up to 2% of global turnover. You may need to contact your national data protection authority directly if Facebook has not notified them.
I think GPT added more idiomatic, verbose language without making it more specific—quite possibly making it less specific.
My favorite is when sites completely disable pasting my bank account number.

Respectfully, this is utter nonsense.

The EU has full jurisdiction within the EU, and zero without. The EU has no ability to demand action or inaction from an entity in the United States. They can ask all they want but it's just that - a request.

The FED wants unemployment to go up which will drive demand, and therefore prices, down. That will reduce inflation.

The On-Demand Delivery Trilemma
This is a very nice article! And a very nicely designed blog. I’ve run into almost all of these issues myself. Only in Rust have I had to respond to someone’s PR feedback with “yes, that would be better but the compiler won’t let me for xyz reasons”.

I do wonder if someone could design a language with a little more built in logic that would be able to know that an Arc won’t be moved, or that can understand String can be matched to a str, if that could function as the often requested “higher level Rust”

I find it remarkable the level of arrogance that the pandemic shift to WFH has given the tech community. Both my wife and I WFH and certainly want to continue it, but if our companies tomorrow told us they were doing RTO we’d be disappointed but would of course go. We spent decades of our careers in an office and only 3 short years outside of one.

Some folks on HN do not realize yet that well paying WFH employment opportunities will become scarce in 2023, and if your default position is to demand WFH, companies will just move on to the next candidate of the 100k that are available that can do your job just as well as you can and are willing to show up at an office.

I'm quite aware how the world works, might makes right, and what not.

But you can't just dismiss any and all discussion with that - power also comes from human understanding and agreement on ethics - black slaves were freed because enough people believed that all humans are created equal, and that none of them should have absolute power over others. However, no such freedom was granted to animals, because not enough people believe that humans should not have absolute power over animals. Therefore, discussion of ethics affects the power distribution, and therefore it not the best to not overthink this.

The main difference between animals and humans is consciousness - it's also what could be the main similarity between humans and AI. Why do you think it's not worth it to discuss ethical questions of absolute power of humans over AI?

Don't you think that AI could somehow become more powerful than humans? Wouldn't then such ethical questions and their answers come in handy?

This won’t continue to be true if we go into a real recession.”

The best I've been able to determine is: we went through a period of very low unemployment, and as a result employee class people were able to do things like "ask for reasonable pay" and "switch jobs for more money".

That's not true at all. It's in some very rare cases. Firefox I think at this point ships with framepointers enabled and so does every M1/M2 mac app and all iOS applications as it's mandatory for the calling convention on Apple.

I use Linode as a provider for small Linux VMs.

Does Digital Ocean offer this service at prices competitive with (legacy) Linode? The site is a confusing mess of buzzwords and made-up terms, which is nothing like the straightforward presentation that was part of the attraction for Linode (and for Slicehost before them).

The French Family allowance is an interesting case.

It looks crazy but actually I think they were trying to solve an insolvable issue. The population that will want to use this website is basically anyone who has children in France. That will include some very computer-illiterate people using god knows what public devices, some of them, very likely infected with all malware known to mankind.

They came up with this: have people click on numbers whose place change all the time and whose real values (beside the image shown) are server side. They probably hoped that it would protect the users from at least basic keyloggers attacks.
I remember being surprised once that Michelin, like the star, was the same as Michelin, like the tire.

Except when we're talking mobile apps. Samsung apps have a penchant for producing... enriched files in common formats.

For example, "motion photo" feature I used few years ago would give you perfectly normal JPG file that also happened to store a short video. Nothing I know other than Samsung phones can read the video part directly, though there exists desktop software that can extract it and save as separate video file.

More recently, I've noticed photo editor tools on Samsung phones allow you to undo previously made edits on an already saved file, including any destructive crops and transforms - meaning the original is being persisted somewhere. I haven't checked where, but I imagine it's again attached to the back of the JPG you thought you've cropped/redacted.

Somewhat related: PlantUML. It's a tool for generating diagrams from plaintext descriptions. One of its most interesting, if not well-known, features is that it saves "editable PNGs" by default - that is, PNGs it produces have the plaintext diagram code attached to the image as metadata. Seems mostly harmless, but it could technically leak information you put in the diagram code but made not visible in the image.
I never listen to podcasts and when I launch Spotify on my phone, half the screen is filled with podcasts. One day I was on autoplay and it even thought it was a good idea to play a random podcast instead of music.

I tried Apple Music for the last few months, and while it's very bad on so many points, I like that they made a separate Podcasts app. I'm still not decided on whether I'll stick with Spotify or Apple music mainly because of the podcasts thing.
> FED wants unemployment to go up

This is wrong. The Fed doesn’t want higher unemployment. It isn’t even willing to tolerate it. That’s the whole “soft landing” conversation, and why hikes are so hesitant.

The ideal path would be labor market loosening with no more unemployment. Absent structural adjustments, that’s possible. But we need structural adjustments, so layoffs are necessary, which makes the closest to ideal layoffs and immediate reuptake, i.e. constant employment with less wage growth.

A single-mandate Fed would respond to last year’s inflation like Russia did: a sharp, steep rate hike.

I remember there was a piece about universities in the Uk and collaboration with Mossad agents to suppress pro-Palestine student movements. Additionally, if you’ve heard of the “canary list” it’s a website dedicated to dragging students and activists in the mud by associating them with horrible things.

I remember a professor at my university about whom a fake website claiming he sexually harassed a student was created. Of course the claims were false but because he was an advisor for the Palestine club his name was dragged through mud.

ICYMI, there's an excellent interactive introduction to `datalog` that's referenced in the article's references.[0]

Last time I used `datalog` was years ago, I was developing an internal interactive tool that was used to compare different approaches to solving a certain problem at my employer. I used `datascript`[1] by way of clojurescript to store all experiment data and then interrogated the `datascript` DB via `datalog`. This is something I always remember fondly.

The feds “dual mandate” is "maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates." There’s too much employment at the moment, imperiling price stability and forcing their hand on interest rates.

Inflation expectations, particularly”wage spiral”, are tied to unemployment. The historically low unemployment would/should drive further increases in wages due to scarcity/bargaining position of labor. More layoffs and job suppression will reduce that inflation pressure.

You say this as if it's not an absolutely massive body of programmers. A lot of large companies are institutionally committed to JVM, and clojure has settled into a niche as the language teams within them use when they don't want to use java.

I expect there are more people working on projects that fit that description than there are ones working in racket and haskell combined.

Cloudflare has a outflow pipe to US gov. Just like the rest of US based services. So if you are doing anything unsocietal as the currents define it then best not to use US based services. You can alternatively use China based cloud offerings as they wont share data with the US gov for obvious reasons.

You can achieve the same protection by knowing your endpoints and infrastructure and then banning anything with an unacceptable delta of traffic difference.(asp vs php, wordpress vulnerability bots, etc) If you have multiple servers you share the ufw firewall lists among them in real time unless you want to ban higher up the stack.

The DOS protection might be harder to emulate. But at that point something is out to specifically get you anyways.

> Z-Library’s very existence was put to the test last November when U.S. law enforcement seized over 200 domain names connected to the site.

From the list:

> 1lib.ae

> 1lib.in

> 1lib.io

> 1lib.mx

> b-ok.as

> b-ok.cc

> booksc.eu

> booksc.me

How does U.S. law enforcement get to seize domains under other countries' ccTLDs? Were the respective countries involved or did they just bully the operators who probably have name servers in the US?

And seizing domains is questionable in the first place - there isn't anything illegal about the domains itself and shouldn't the name -> IP association fall under free speech in the US?
