Think it had more to do with Intel partnering with Microsoft and Windows taking over the PC market in the 90s.
I think the problem is that, as a general rule, it's much more impactful for a person to have their money taken than it is for a business. If the credit card company has to err in favor of one of the entities, it's less impactful (to the entity) if it's in favor of the buyer.

And then since it costs the credit card money to determine what _really_ happened, they're further incentivized to err on the side of the person who is going to be paying them.

And then add to that the fact that there's very little negative (to the credit card company) to clawing back the money from the seller. For the vast majority of companies, "I just won't accept Visa" anymore isn't realistic if they want to stay in business.

It seems like every factor pushes them in the direction of "just assume the payer is right".
One particular application was for the resident-style apps (like keyboard locale switchers, or process killers of sorts (e.g. kill anything that started after me), etc.). But also INT 21H, and others.

Thank you! Yes, I've had this in mind for a while, I have some pictures of beginning the first prototyping by dismembering the keyboard back in 2020, although what I was thinking at the time is not recorded.

I would not be surprised if it's simply the availability of the good-enough CPU that caused the idea to take root in multiple heads independently.

initrd has gathered a lot of resources in https://hackaday.io/project/177716-the-libre-autarkic-laptop and https://github.com/EI2030, he sent me a link to your writing a while back and it made me think of using an sd card for storage, which I had previously rejected for taking too much power. But I have since managed to only power it when reading/writing files and it works quite well.
Generally the CRA will only email a notice that there is a new message waiting for you on their site; you have to log in to their site to access the message. As far as security practices go, I won't complain about that.
well sure, I have been through this myself, but I have exercised some restraint in my dependency chain, and so should everyone else. Dependencies can be wonderful, or they can be liabilities.

nevertheless, I stand by my point, sure, you may have a little bit of a crappy time, but thats it. If you dont maintain your application? well you're every bit as fine as before. If you do maintain it? well then you had better be updating dependencies at some point, and sure, you might have chosen a dependency that breaks compat and such stuff, but then you have this problem ANYWAY, and are probably running old code with at best just irellevant bugs, but more likely various security implications (as the dependencies are probably not trivial, right? and those bugs might be like the insanity going on in a certain popular logging library...)
> Doesn't that mean the legal system - which should be the civilised way to resolve disputes - needs fixing?

Is there a legal system resolution that wouldn't wind up costing the participants, especially the payer, more than it's worth to handle it that way. For many people, just taking a day off work to attend court is more than they can afford.

> If I had my way I'd blacklist that person/card and if they tried to come again next year I'd confront them at the gate and tell them they can't enter unless they first pay for last year's chargeback on camera.

AFAIK, that's the idea. The card processor is making a payment on the customer's behalf, and has very little space to disagree with him and send the money anyway. But that doesn't mean that the customer is correct, it only means that the processor is not the police, or the judicial system.
Yeah, that was also a massive red flag once I got to it, but I wanted to give a more considered critique.
Sure is. And it causes the same problems for homeowners. One difference in NY is that homeowners get a significant STAR exemption. I get that despite the unusual situation of having one property the house I live in, two rental units, plus a riding academy (which isn't legally treated as agriculture unless I get in some silly boondoggle such as raising foals.)

In the city of Ithaca there are rather large tax bills for the City of Ithaca, plus the County of Tompkins, plus the City of Ithaca school district. It adds up to a few hundred a month on the rent for the typical rental unit. Insofar as the local government thinks that "the rent is too damn high" there is a definite chunk of it they are responsible for.
To my un-expert eyes and lack of knowledge about Lisp, I have a hard time understanding the difference between this and a TI-86 graphing calculator?
I have no interest in being forced to tie down millions of dollars or go into massive debt every time I want to move or work somewhere new because you don't approve of me agreeing to pay someone to rent their place. Without the ability to rent, not only would you have to do that every time you move in somewhere, but moving away for any period would require you to sell the place altogether or leave it entirely empty.

Even with the recent run up in real estate prices, housing is generally a terrible investment compared to stocks or actual productive investment vehicles. Even if there weren't massive transaction costs in buying and selling housing, which your proposal would force people to incur every time they move, it would force everyone to lock up their money in an objectively worse investment because you fetishize home ownership.

Taking your principle at face value, the same would be true of cars. Car rental agencies "add nothing of value to society" by simply renting out something they own that could otherwise be owned by the person using it. Should we force people to buy cars every time they travel somewhere and need one to get around?

Maybe a better analogy given this is HN is renting computing power. Why should companies like AWS be able to profit from "adding nothing of value to society," i.e. simply renting out server space/computing power?

Respectfully, this proposal shows a serious lack of economic understanding that seems important to have before making extreme policy proposals.

I'm not sure why you think "philosophy" and "practically irrelevant jibberjabber" are synonymous. Or maybe you just think that's what commenters are implying? That's certainly not what I was trying to imply. Scientific thinking can be super practical, and it need not involve meta thinking for everyone that uses it. But there absolutely are philosophical discussions that remain of relevance today, discussions that some part of the scientific community ought to be having.

Besides, academic science has become more formalized than it used to be, not less. People are running the algorithm badly IMO not because they are trying to be philosophical or eschew the previous fundamentals of science, but because they lack a deep understanding of what they are attempting to implement. The guardrails that were put up to try and force things to be more formalized have backfired into becoming a bad crutch for shitty science.

It's also not surprising that certain metrics and incentive structures would break in a career environment where resources have become scarce. Things implemented in good faith 25 years ago may not have even been a bad idea at the time, but they definitely were reacting to a different era with different job expectations and different open questions.

Anyway, I definitely agree with most of your broader concerns but I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting your statement about philosophy. In my experience present grad students are hyperfixated on highly unimportant (from a training perspective) technical details. When I've been around PhD students chatting about science at lunch or house parties or whatever I more often hear discussions at the level of abstraction of mouse perfusion techniques than philosophy of science. It is certainly theoretically possible to have too many eggheads, but that's been the opposite of my experience.

Um... someone is going to use this for sending their suicide notes.
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence.

...

You had to live – did live, from habit that became instinct – in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized.

What’s getting the company in trouble with the FTC is their statements about protecting patient privacy.

I really wish the FTC did this more often.

If you’re marketing your service as privacy focused, you can just sell your customers data.

Plenty of services start out as free-speech/privacy focused, but change their tune once advertisers make demands.

That should be allowed. If you built your community by promising privacy, you shouldn’t be able to go back in that easily.

Lock in is a real thing. Abusing it is wrong.
With RSUs, if you are taxed on receiving them in any way and yet they are not liquid or you decide not to liquidate them, then the RSU price could go to zero and you’ve lost more than everything because you can’t necessarily recoup the taxes.

That said ISOs have similar risk but additionally you could lose whatever you paid to exercise and also you could incur AMT which complicates your tax return quite a bit.

You're arguing a straw man. Nowhere does it say "Full Autonomous Level 5" or whatever you are expecting - nor does it have to. They literally named it Autopilot and told people it could drive down the freeway without user input.

The facts are - Tesla installed this system, called it Autopilot, told the buyers it does magical things, and people have died and probably will continue to die.

I understand some people badly want Tesla to succeed no matter what. But this is silly... they chose not to call it a Driver Assist (like all the other car manufacturers) on purpose. Now Tesla reaps what it sowed...

For those suffering from diabetes, small wounds can become a very big deal.

Seems like it would be much easier to implement Basic Income, or just send stimulus checks to renters. You can even increase the property taxes to pay for it, which would have the same effect as lowering rent, if you coupled it with a law limiting rent increase per year.
Also worth mentioning that there are enormous USB audio improvements in kernel version 5.10.0, both for performance, stability, and compatibility. As far as I know, there are no real-time kernels available for Pi 4 with a kernel version greater than 5.10.0, and building one is painfully difficult.

The OpenGL specification basically had no explanation of what a "Quad" was, it didn't say anything about how to render quads, interpolate quads, etc. Pretty much every driver implemented quads as a funky way of spelling "two triangles". Much like tristrips/trifans/etc., index buffers give you all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks.

> For instance, the X11 XRender API explicitly supports drawing trapezoids.

It should be said XRender trapezoids have extra constraints: the top and bottom edges of the trapezoid must be completely straight (go exactly left to right). So it's basically a rectangle with sloped left/right sides. This makes it extremely easily to software rasterize, while you can still break each trapezoid into two triangles for 3D hardware.
Ok, and that lane assist radar cruise control thingy drove straight into a parked, stationary emergency vehicle and killed it's own occupants.

It's an even more astonishingly bad idea if you just consider the buyer side. What could possibly go wrong with expecting 18 year olds to be able to buy a house with no credit history or assets to speak of? Forget renting a dorm, just come up with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and buy a place so you can go to school somewhere for 4 years. Then every time you move jobs, simply incur the massive transaction costs from selling that house and buy a new one.

Not to mention forcing even those who do somehow have massive amounts of cash or go into major debt to lock up all of that in an asset that historically underperforms productive investments (stocks), and putting their entire net worth in a single asset with no diversification whatsoever.

All true! I block whatever ads I can to minimize the odds, and I take some comfort in the fact that when I see an ad for an item and end up buying later, what I pick up is not always the same product that was advertised or bought from the same place that paid for the ad.

We cannot avoid being influenced by advertising, and sometimes ads are even useful. It's just a shame that the ad industry has become so corrupt and obsessed with surveillance that the smartest thing is to avoid ads entirely whenever possible.
> Are you not interested in ensuring that the answer or solution is based on the most authoritative information that exists, the source material on which all regurgitations are based?

Not OP, but I'll answer: No, I am almost never interested in finding the most authoritative source for anything, because the effort vs. reward of those searches is not favorable and the cost of being incorrect on any given point is pretty dang low.

EDIT: However, with respect to the idea of using ChatGPT for answering general knowledge questions - there's enough demonstrations of it providing fabricated information that I've adopted the low-cost heuristic of not trusting ChatGPT for anything and preferring to seek information elsewhere. I guess this means I seek moderately-authoritative sources (say, Wikipedia) as a general rule.

> You put words in my mouth and seemed to be misconstruing my point.

I'm just trying to put meat on the bones of your argument, which I thought was: "'secure by default' by OBSD basically just means everything disabled by default." Seems reasonable to infer that you meant if I enabled some stuff I'd have significantly more remote holes, which didn't seem true. You then said that wasn't your argument:

> Generally for a server people are running some kind of services, and that's going to include third party software. Not always, but often, and that software is not audited by OBSD team. Even say adding a module to httpd may allow for remote compromise

I think "an insecure PHP app" qualifies as third party software, and it sounds like unveil/pledge/chroot mitigates the scenario you're describing. Can you explain why that's a bad example, and do you have a better one?

> like the people claiming if someone got root on SELinux they could just change the SELinux policies

In fairness, this isn't unlike your claim that you can bit-twiddle raw devices in a chroot to find a filesystem ("If you have root, you have access to the files, period. Someone determined enough could search, read and write to the disk directly, bypassing the filesystem"). Well, there are differences: in a chroot you don't have access to the raw devices and OpenBSD's default securelevel already mounts them read-only besides.

> My point was that OBSD, if it wants to be a security focused OS and taken seriously as such, should offer something along those lines.

> Pretty sure SELinux (not Linux) has a better track record than OBSD for serious bugs, and none that have allowed full compromise unlike with OpenBSD.

SELinux has a huge attack surface, and has had a lot of privilege escalation and code execution bugs [0]. I know it's kind of a polemic, but hard to not call it a rootkit at this point. I think OpenBSD deciding to not build something like it is a pretty good security choice. It's probably a good idea that root is just another user, but privesc means becoming any user, so in the wake of those vulns that design choice doesn't buy you very much.

> As far as I'm concerned, the quality of my replies is proportional to the comments I am replying to.

-Financial benefit for the competitors in which security state has financial stake

-Some organizational or architectural issue that makes it difficult to control
