/me remembers jumping on his bicycle and riding two towns over to the Toyota dealership (in pre-Amazon days) to buy a rear spring hanger pin because I'd just spent 4 hours cutting the old one off after taking the day off work to get the truck fixed. This after making multiple bike trips to the industrial supply shop to buy more Sawzall blades that kept dulling as I tried to cut off a hardened steel pin!
The leaker's failures are obvious. The real failure by far is that access to this kind of "secret" material seems to be so easy to get.

>>I don’t think it’s as big a legal minefield as you suggest.

That minefield is a 3 legged stool

1. Actual Legal Liability

2. Perceived Legal Liability

3. PR Liability around the law / legal system

#1 is probably not very big, however if you put a smoke alarm in someones home that does not work correctly or perceived to not work correctly and your a name like Google that the media loves to report on... well #2 and #3 become HUGE.

I'm quite worried about China in general. Their inability to regulate various sectors doesn't bode well for their future nuclear safety record. You also wouldn't know anything about Chinese nuclear incidents unless it's absolutely unignoreable.

Sorry, but no.

You don’t get to put people in lanes.

They real issue is, once you grow a following, whatever you say will be magnified. It doesn’t matter what you mean when you broadcast; you have gradually less control of what is understood. So you need to think about how things are received. Eccentrics have it hard.

>“Colonels and generals have their staff killing trees because they like paper, want to hold it closer with their reading glasses on, want to take it to in-person meetings or to read in between meetings,” said a former US official familiar with the Pentagon’s classified system.

Pentagon official sounds more concerned with "killing trees" than the concerns of American taxpayers over waste, abuse, and fraud.
From an outside perspective, the FSFE has felt for a while like a much more effective organization than the FSF. The "Public Money, Public Code" campaign seems like it's actually had some results (with European governments adopting free software in a few cases), while the FSF has done... seemingly not much of note, for a long time?

LibrePlanet is generally a good conference, but outside of that the FSF doesn't seem to be doing much impactful work, and the most I ever hear about it these days is about controversies surrounding Stallman.

I think we probably need a new organization to take up the cause at this point.

> I don't think the world would be a better off if the Bezos' and Gates' were to live forever. Death provides an opportunity for change

Immortality becoming a possibility is also an opportunity for changing our social structures. There's nothing wrong with Bezos or Gates living forever, as long as their social and financial dominance isn't also guaranteed to live forever.

> Removing death from the equation introduces either: stagnation, if it is made available to everyone

Stagnation follows from an assumption that neuroplasticity is zero. That is one of the problems that need solving for immortality anyway, but I don't see why it's unsolvable. If some technique rejuvenates at the cellular level, it could also work on neurons.

That was an old statement. It wasn't that statement which prompted the pressure to resign. He said two things that caused the uproar:

These are the two things he said that were controversial and prompted the pressure to resign:

1) He said that Marvin Minsky's sexual misconduct was being mischaracterized as violent sexual assault when no evidence existed of that, as far as I know he was correct about this.

2) He said that in his opinion the difference between having sex with a 17 year old and an 18 year old was not so great that one of them should be referred to as rape, regardless of the age of consent where it happened.

The age of consent is 16 in well over half of the US (including the state Stallman lives in) so I don't find that second statement terribly controversial. The real problem was that this was all said in the context of Minsky and Epstein when the pitchforks were out. Stallman denounced Epstein several times but he was friends with Minsky and didn't like the accusations against Minsky being mischaracterized.
> In the USSR and China, the large scale deaths were linked to failures during economic development.

no, they were caused by ideological stupidity (stalin: look up "kulaks", mao: see cultural revolution and great leap forward), and both states being governed, by terror, by paranoid megalomaniacs. read a history book.

> this was an issue with the USSR and early China.

did the west not provide the ussr and china with enourmous amounts of military, economic and technical aid during and after ww2 (selling the ussr jet engines, for example)? oh, yes, it did!
Relying on `python` being compatible with whatever python version your scripts target is foolish.
You can generally assume most statistics posted within any comment on any site are misleading, and to use that cynicism to assess the "numbers".

Just how it is on the internet, most people who post the "numbers" are doing so for a very specific intention, and it's not at all to highlight the objectivity of them. You'll want to get the source research yourself and see what they say about it, and usually most papers tend to be far more nuanced than "thing bad" or "thing good".

> Go find me a city that has people that are super happy and nice to each other and also has a high murder rate. Wait, I bet you can't.

Many Mexican and Brazilian cities have much higher murder rates and people are still generally happier and nicer than in the US, especially if SF is the basis for comparison.
People writing the name of their murderer in blood on the floor is a murder-mystery staple; it is not real life.

In real life you're in shock and what you do is completely disconnected from what you think you would do. The "watch people die" video collections show that, someone can be obviously dying (massive gunshot wounds, etc) and they carry on like nothing happened until they fall over dead.
If your civilization can be toppled by some weeaboos on a Mongolian basket weaving forum, maybe it wasn't that great to begin with.

I am a huge fan of the Pilot Frixion Clicker, the weight felt good and writing with it felt so smooth.

Are there any other pens that have a bit of weight to it? Any Recommendations?
The point you seem to be making doesn’t really hold up to even a light level of scrutiny.

There is not any evidence what so ever that a person who might commit a murder with a gun would just use the next available option to them such as a knife. That was something that was just introduced to the discussion as a fact when in reality it’s something you have made up.

In fact it’s immediately clear that to most people they are two very different things precisely because one of them is literally just pushing a button.

There is a reason why the murder rate is 7x higher because the access to guns requires a much lower buy in to commit the act in the first place.

Hence why people argue for stricter gun control laws. Mass access is precisely the problem.
Ever since I heard the story behind India's Daughter [1] I became hyper-aware of the seriousness of violence in India. Since then I have heard of a lot of social and political issues going on there. The problem is huge and goes all the way to the top levels of government. I really have no idea how Indians could begin to untangle it all. From what I've seen, anyone with the educations and means is looking to get out.

In addition to what others said (like DDoS protection), having a CDN or proxy up front also shields potential abusers and/or litigants against immediately finding out where the origin servers are physically located.
> There's just no way, in real life, for Facebook to add what you're describing to one of the most prominent messaging apps in the world without somebody noticing

Your point moved from "key transparency is the defense" to "someone will notice". But if your defense is the hope of "someone noticing" you're in for a big surprise. Sometimes things go unnoticed. Look no further than OpenSSL, open source, used by billions, deployed by companies worth as much as small countries, and yet nobody noticed Heartbleed for years.

So I'll be very cynical that some development flag targeting a handful of people in an app like WhatsApp and then is removed will be so noticeable that it's a strong defense.
I had a similar idea when I was in Vancouver - get people who would like a home-cooked meal to sit down for dinner with new immigrants looking to practice English. I mostly thought of students, but anyone could participate.
"Distrusts the government, but also works for it?"

Maybe not from the extremist/militia standpoint you mention, but in general people meeting your above statement are the type of people you want making the laws. They realize the potential abuses and should hopefully be creating safeguards against them (without wholly undermining the desired function). The people who blindly trust are the ones who create a system rife for future abuse to occur.
> Federal funding is essential to public radio's service to the American public and its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR.

> On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments.

https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finance...

"Less than 1%" is still more than 0. Sounds like NPR is, in part, Government-funded Media, making the Twitter label accurate, at least on face value. If they don't want to be labeled as such, they can't accept government funding. I'm sure if the US government attached strings to their money, NPR would roll over and do whatever is asked.

It is quite common for employers being responsible for employee safety and there’s a lot of good arguments for saying that platforms relationships with gig workers are employer-employee.
My point is that the promo process being the root cause of this comes up often but doesn't really have any evidence to back it up except a long chain of repetitions.
That’s a lot of hand waving and moralizing to dodge the question. I’m fine hating Apple, but I don’t feel the need to insist that them increasing the average number of proudest a cobalt atom goes through will have no impact on demand for newly mined cobalt.

100% fine if you choose to see this policy as further evidence of their moral irredeemability. But let’s be honest with the math and how supply chains work?
HN really has a solid case of amnesia today regarding this.
It's a lot harder to murder a large number of people with a knife than a gun.

> all of our computing resources are based on a 100+ year old concept of a file cabinet with folders and files.

While they are based on the same concept, putting things inside of things (in hierarchies) is a pretty solid way of sorting stuff.

There are other ways as well, such as labels/tags. But regardless of technology I feel like folders (in one way or another) is one of the tools you would reach for.

> Key transparency makes standard MITM much more detectable, and so it will significantly dissuade agencies and private actors from investing in those capabilities.

Just the private actors. Agencies would just spend more on it, or investigate side channels that achieve the same ends.
If I'm reading this correctly, it's basically saying if you have a variable, who's type is a Value Object (roughyl equivalent to a Basic type, lets say a long), then you may disallow null for this variable?

If Value Types are supposed to be equivalents of Java Basic types, I would have expected this to be the only way they work. Sort of surprised to see this, so I'm probably missing something important.
I was already wondering how this applied to their recycled aluminum claim, but is there actually enough recycled aluminum / cobalt of sufficient quality to go in laptops in the world that it would be feasible to scale beyond just Apple? Is it just a matter of price, or has Apple - as with some components/materials - completely taken the option off the market?
Yes but the source code is not non deterministic, which is what the GP was talking about.
No.

The point isn’t that homeless kill people, it’s that homeless and drug addicts create environments where people are more likely to be killed, by anyone.
These things are bound to happen when 80% of the population lives on less than 120$ a month.

On the other hand, I feel like it takes an incredibly public tragedy for a platform for HN to tolerate any discussions around SF crime.

People want to talk about crime, drugs & homelessness all the time. It is only in high profile cases where the issues seem topical, that HN can't discourage discussion around them.

> quasi-apocalyptic worldview re: some American cities

I don't see why speaking out about lack of police enforcement is seen as 'quasi-apocalyptic'.

> despite all available data contradicting that worldview

All available data is in favor of those speaking out about crime & drugs in west coast cities. Additionally, the eye test seems to portray a situation that's more dire than even the data might suggest. (underreporting, catch & release).

He's been pretty explicitly against manufacturing-led growth and in favor of services-led growth. And indeed "make for India" strategy would mean India remains a net manufacturing importer as it makes some goods for itself and imports others, without any exports to balance out the goods it cannot produce.
A lot of retirees who bought beach houses will be disappointed. Sea level rise is already being priced into real estate
https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/climate-change-real-est...

"A titled “Disaster on the Horizon: The Price Effect of Sea Level Rise” published by the University of Colorado identified a drop in sales in high-risk coastal areas starting in 2013. The study also states that, on average, homes near sea level rise sold for 7% less than other comparable homes.

This downward trend strands in contrast to increased sales prices in nearby lower-risk areas. As sea levels continue to rise, this trend may continue. Wealthier homeowners will be able to move to lower-risk areas, while people with lower incomes will be subject to higher risks of flooding.
Fewer Home Sales In High-Risk Areas

In addition to decreased sales prices, there are also fewer homes being sold in coastal high-risk areas. It should come as no surprise that people don’t want to live in areas where they feel threatened by extreme weather and wildfires. Even if being close to the woods or the ocean is a huge plus, no one wants their home to be threatened by a fire or flood.

With fewer homes being purchased in these areas, those who want to sell may have a harder time. The decrease in sales prices and home sales could be a housing market indicator for the future of coastal home sales."
> logs for their compliance

Supabase Logs will be fully-integrated with the rest of the supabase stack. Since the Auth JWT flows through the HTTP Authorization header, into PostgREST, then into Postgres, we can pluck the Supabase User ID out of the JWT and store it alongside every log entry. You will be able to reference/join every authorized action in your database to an authenticated user.

> RLS can't control access to API end points in places like Edge Functions (again, afaik).

also correct, for now. We released the Edge Runtime[0] this week, and plan to use it as a scriptable Proxy.

> In my experience, RLS has quite a few foot guns in it as schemas migrate

A very fair point. We hope that we'll be able to provide some tooling here.

Thanks for all of this feedback - it's incredibly useful. Our team read the HN comments thoroughly and it shapes our ideas for the product going forward. We have some gaps to fill for your requirements, but we'll get there.

There was a woman in Portland I believe who poisoned her husband and made it look like a drug tampering serial killer situation.

They caught her because they found traces of fish tank algaecide in the pill bottles. She reused the same mortar and pestle to do both. The local fish supply store had records of her buying the same algaecide.
Again, you're making things up because it "sounds correct" to you, but that doesn't make it reality. Your examples of violent crimes that go unreported seem to be based entirely on interactions you've had or heard about with homeless people. Yes, SF has a substantial homeless population, which increases the likelihood of those extremely minor "violent" offenses happening. But that isn't new, at all, and it's baseless and ridiculous to suggest that an increase in awkward incidents with the homeless means that there is a tsunami of attempted murders.

Seattle, NYC, Dallas, Chicago and a hundred others also have huge homeless populations and even higher rates of violent crime that are actually trending upward, but you don't see the populations of those cities going into a full panic or claiming that the violent sky is falling. SF residents are getting caught up in mass hysteria. It's really as simple as that.
You need to measure it for your application. A lot of people think „syscalls are expensive“ because that’s repeated for your years, but often it’s actually their implementation and not the overhead.

Eg a UDP syscall will do a whole lot of route lookups, iptable rule evaluations, potential eBPF program evaluations, copying data into other packets, splitting packets, etc. I measured this to be fare more than > 10x of the syscall overhead. But your mileage might vary depending on which calls you use.

As for the applications: these lessons where collected in a CDN data plane. There’s hardly any applications out there which are more async IO intense.
You just learn to tune it out. Crazy people gonna crazy. It's like the announcements that come over the PA at airports for "Please report any unattended baggage - if you see something, say something", or 99% of what the news media writes, or Putin's threats to nuke the West, or the breathless pitches of startup founders that they're going to change the world.
The issue you’re describing is more to do with correctness and performance (two critical elements of a good compiler), not nondeterminism.

If a natural language compiler can output correct performant code, nondeterminism shouldn’t matter.

For example, take a script that randomly invokes either gcc or clang, maybe randomly sets the optimization level. Multiple invocations will output vastly differently, but we can be confident the output is correct and to some degree performant.
I just got back from SF including soma... I don't know who these people are that say there isn't an issue.

On "political" thing or not. I have no idea how the people in charge of it are going to change it. Is it even rock bottom bad yet?
Result relevancy was worse than random full text search with your weapon of choice and it costs an order more to use.

Sitting there manually adding synonyms to a thesaurus to try and get something of value wasn't what we wanted to spend time doing.
> usually severe mental health issues

Do you have a citation on that?

I am not fully researched on this topic, but as a lay observer it appear that the gun rights side basically categorizes anyone who is willing to commit a mass shooting as mentally ill, and hence every mass shooting is a result of mental illness by definition. But it does not follow that mass shooters are mentally ill by any professional standards.
Yes. same chips. I suspect you’re right - it’s not the GPS itself that’s the problem but waking up the main CPU to run whichever App has requested location data.
Apple has a long record of making decisions for users without presenting options about them. Having these problems solved for us rather than being bothered with them is part of what we've paid for all these years. But their audience is broader now, they're much more successful, and when this practice rubs people the wrong way we all hear about it in the press as if it's some Antennagate-level flaw or scandal with which they were "caught." So they put in an option to make the phone worse but the user happier and move on. I would say "but the reputation damage is done" if it wasn't a foregone conclusion to so many that Apple must be up to no good.
