The gas stove bans are idiotic and petty to defend based on environmentalist principles. The amount of gas burned by those stoves makes roughly zero impact compared with all the other hydrocarbons we burn.

Sacklers, case in point.
No, it’s not the same because it doesn’t benefit him this time. Leftists are like libertarians, if libertarians only applied their principles to themselves. Bodily autonomy, firearm rights, private property, taxation, misinformation censorship, death penalty, etc. Whether or not they support it depends not on what it does but who it benefits, and so a left winger can never truly take a concrete position like “I support gun control” when they need to make exceptions for SRA, Natives, Palestinians, etc.
Maybe opens a door for a civil suit for the worker that was fired? Having a document in hand where the NLRB is saying some of the events associated with your firing were illegal probably helps.
That’s how FaceID works.
It looks like the answer is yes

1. These 'digitally signed attributes' (example: 'age: 19') are consistent across services. So if you attribute is leaked in a way that it connected to other PII, then everyone with the attribute will know your PII.

2. These attributes are generated by a central authority. Presumably the goal would be to have governments issue these attributes. Regardless, whatever verification you do with the central authority will reveal your identity, and they can always determine your PII from the attributes they created.

He was two. I used color stickers on a keyboard, using the We Hear and Play system: http://www.wehearandplay.com/

The Japanese method is based on chord identification, but I found that note identification worked directly. Play a note, point out a toy of that color. Kid brings a toy, play the note for the color. Kid plays a note, you bring a toy. Color association is the tool that lets you connect the music to everyday things and make up all kinds of natural games that interact with the kid’s interests.
Perhaps the most horrifying aspect of the whole Snowden ordeal was not discovering hard proof we've been living in a borderline-Orwellian surveillance state, but the utter indifference of the American people at this revelation.
What's a good alternative? No, really. Conda has caused me so much pain.
Exactly. The existence of, and participation in, FVEY is treason against the people of the United States.

There is no such thing as an “allied intelligence agency”, by their very nature all non-US intelligence agencies are hostile to American citizens.

Thus, our domestic agencies conspiring with hostile foreign entities to defraud and undermine the citizens of the United States is treason.
Some people will reflexively mod down anything that's pro-artist or pro-writer. They continue to embrace the idea that somehow piracy is somehow a good thing when it's pretty easy to see how it hurts.
Their match was played in November 2018. Here are the classical [1] and rapid [2] rating lists from that time. Fabiano was 12 points behind Magnus in classical, and 91 points behind him in rapid. It's all going to be relative. Obviously Fabiano is extremely good at all forms of chess, but all top players (in any sport) are going to have relative strengths/weaknesses when compared against each other.

The treatment of Assange defies belief, and the hypocrisy is off the scale.
The defense from many people who would nominally be appalled by this, seems to rest on the poor character of Assange, so he gets written off. The poor character point may or may not be correct, but is completely irrelevant, and if it relates to civil or criminal offences then it has never been allowed to be tested.

From the same reference article about Epstein's Death :

"...In 2020, associate Jean-Luc Brunel was arrested and charged with the rape of minors by French prosecutors. He later died from an apparent suicide before his trial could proceed..."
Yeah! A yelp for landlord- This information is currently missing from the net.
Ok now for a base rate, lets list out conspiracy theories that weren't true...
> I kept the phone running in the back of my van plugged into an auxiliary cigarette lighter port.
If I ordered the non-avocado toast at my weekly brunch, I'd be able to afford a house.
> I don't see the relevance of that question.

The clear implication of the sentence “These procedures were not followed on the night he died.” is that the procedures were generally followed at all other times. But it is only implied, not explicitly stated, which is the kind of weaselly language used when someone is trying to convince others of something when they don’t have enough facts to present.

> If that site was known to have guards that didn't follow procedure, then maybe that was the reason that it was selected.

Yes, that’t true. Was that site known for that? Also, that’s not the argument originally presented, as I explained above; you’re jumping from argument to argument.
Colonial empires were a net drag on the economies of these nations.
Did these guards sleep more than guards at other prisons?

(again, I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying these arguments aren't statistically rigorous)
Capitalism = exploitation? That seems like the point they are trying to make. And it’s mostly not wrong, although we haven’t found a better way. Perhaps more accurately, human behavior = economic behavior = exploitation, regardless of the economic system.

Expanding it out, I doubt it’s specific to humans, more like a property of known life forms.
Classifying anything which is mental health related as "snowflakes" has lead us to many toxic traits in the current society.

How does this nonsense get posted?

The condition of the Great Barrier Reef has been downgraded from 'poor' to 'very poor'. Not the 'complete recovery' suggested.

In fact the data linked in the article show this - tragic bleaching occurring across the entire reef, leaving dead zones.

It's the modern conservative trick to make an outrageous claim, then link to data refuting that claim completely. They're trusting folks to not follow the link. It works for people with an axe to grind, and with not-very-smart people. Which is their core constituency I guess.
I was prepping to reply and you hit my point in your last paragraph. Through my youth I always assumed that people either saw through the corruption or had the wool pulled over their eyes, but the after working at a couple companies with several ex military contractor types and some some new inlaws, I've realized that for some people, tribe is above all. They are patriotic and loyal to the US system, which can do no wrong, and any perceived security or survival needs will always trump law and morals. These are the same thought processes that fuel the rise of fascism.
What mutual backscratching? No such program was in the Snowden leaks. If you're claiming that the US gets other countries to spy on its citizens, that would be utterly illegal.
> I'm all for right to repair laws, but I would hate to see a law concerning even slightly technical topics written only by elected parties. It would be a disaster.

Specific to the US.

They're rarely if ever written by elected officials directly. Rather legislative aids do the bulk of the authoring and reading of bills along with input from lobbyists.

Laws may be problematic due to the unfamiliarity the authors/sponsors have with technical details and nuances but overwhelmingly the difficulty lies in creating legislature that cannot be interpreted in any other way than it's intention when challenged by an army of highly paid and highly skilled attorneys.

I'm looking forward to going all electric in my small by most standards apartment buildings but I'm not going to tear out my existing mechanical to make it happen today. The upgrade is about $25K a unit for the electrical upgrade, new stove, water heater and HVAC system. I know it's coming but it's not today -everything in my building is high-efficiency and low flow and was the best you could get when I did my last remodel, there's lots of people doing a lot more damage than me and the people in my building. We also have to redo our grid as there is no way it can support an all electric society in the state it's in now we'd be in constant brown out.
The deposit is to cover any costs the tenant cause the landlord. Damage and unpaid rent are both costs.

A tenant who has $1,000 in upaid rent and $0 is damage is no different than a tenant who has $1,000 in damage and no unpaid rent. The security deposit can be used to cover either.
Do they matter? I'd argue that yes, they absolutely do.

They might not make people refuse to use a piece of software, or actively seek out an alternative - but they're certainly going to result in users having a lower opinion of that software, and make them more likely to take notice if an alternative happens to come to their attention.

That's a change in behavior.
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Yes you understand the thought! The thought isn't use ChatGPT to code existing programming languages but to take advantage of LLMs ability to traverse complicated relationships that result in logically composed behaviours.

A load balancer, access control list, pairwise zip, fork/join, map, reduce, interleaving, LIFO, FIFO, dispatcher, scheduling, binpacking, control loops, transformation, coordination, orchestration are all behaviours that could be useful in designing an architecture. An LLM probably knows the arguments they take and how to apply them to another scenario at an abstract level. They can match up the variables in each behaviour with what they map to.

For example, I don't need to write code that glues things together if the LLM knows where a load balancer should fit on a dispatcher

The lock analogy isn't perfect, but it's qualitatively correct. The assertion is that locks that are easily defeated necessarily have no legitimate purpose.

DRM, like my front door lock, serves the purpose of deterring casual theft, not of eliminating all possibility of theft.

There are better ways to do that than DRM, and DRM is more of a pain and risk to legitimate owners than door locks are. But the over-zealousness of anti-DRM crusaders leads them to extend their arguments to ridiculous extremes. That's what bothers me: if DRM does more harm than good (as I believe), why use laughably false and disingenuous arguments to make the case?
Funny enough, we just had a post on the front page here in HN from a rails conf organizer saying that rails confs are the epitome of adhd bored devs playing a social game of “im better than you” and “I’m tragically insecure of you finding out I’m not so smart”

Ask HN: RHEL vs Debian?
Debian has 8086 CVE entries[1], as compared to only 1860 entries for RHEL.[2]

So, when it comes to security updates, RHEL blows away its competition?

If RHEL is so good, why isn't it more popular among tech startups?

Are any of FAANG using RHEL as their primary server OS? Maybe Cisco or Juniper uses them?
I read that Google uses Debian rolling releases.

What am I misunderstanding?
Why isn't RHEL the default choice for tech startups and indiehackers looking for peace of mind?

I use Arch, btw ;)

Yuuuuuuup. Good eye. It's pointless without knowing the trend, which is how conspiracy theories work.

Which sucks, because there are very real conspiracies out there, and the others are very often employed for cover. See also MiB / LSD experiments, where you dress up as Hasidic diamond merchants and visit whistleblowers with gargantuan amounts of experimental psychedelics. "Ha ha this guy thinks aliens are probing everyone"

Epstein, for his part, yeah, I agree, probably was actually part of a conspiracy, a fall guy for an entirely government run honeypot. However, I don't have any reason to think this is all true.
So much respect for css devs. That stuff makes my head spin
Snowden is perhaps not the best of examples because of all the controversy. If we change the subject a little, what is your stance on, say, the Panama Papers?
I always find statements like this to be a strange rhetorical tactic of debate.

They presuppose that a personally held view, and oftentimes fringe one, is universally true and accepted and then make a bold unsupported criticism.

The charitable take is that people making them don't know that their view is controversial and think it is shared fact.

The less charitable take is that they are intentionally misleading, and doing it as a debate tactic to claim ground while avoiding discussing the real disagreement.
Are those monarchies even tax funded? A separation between private ("house") and state property is usually much older than even the earliest traces of democratization and when they got to where they are today without completely losing their formal status, the house property will have survived just fine. Apply the supposedly not-feudal-at-all mechanisms of free market to those (land-)lords and you get something generously funded by nothing but privileged birth.
It makes me think of

but it seems inevitable to me that people will try this because the training methods used on chatbots mean they (1) don’t say the random offputting things that real people say that disqualify them, and (2) seem to have a power of seduction that goes beyond that. My evidence for (2) are the numerous transcripts where people are charmed by a chatbot into thinking it is much more capable than it really is.
Yeah I’m personally of the opinion that the performance loss for regular web services is worth it 99% of the time. RAM is cheap, human time is not.

That said I definitely believe your characterization of resource hunger between nginx and traefik.

You are the second person to mention using websockets for requests in as many days… How do you deal with scale out? Sticky cookie routing seems like almost a requirement if you don’t want to deploy a redis-alike.

Also just out of curiosity, do you use hyper-express[0]?

[0]: https://github.com/kartikk221/hyper-express
It's certainly possible to do that, but keep in mind that if the government (or an organ of the government) is in the business of deciding what category of speech something is, that is eventually going to cause a problem.
There are certainly specific cases where this tactic has been used, but yeah, this is the blanket version. "Blanket" assertions and generalizations (often sentences that start with "the elite") are one of the common red flags that indicate you might be dealing with the classical "nutty conspiracy theory".

It will become the iot of modern day: a washed down goal post moved marketing term. Everything will be rebranded to “ai”. Maybe we could rebrand databases too as those are the ultimate source of accuracy. Prompts, known as queries in the long long ago, would usually return reliable and accurate results. You could even prompt google for search results and monetised said results by cashing in on traffic. A true marvel.
I have always suspected that the variety of pro-piracy posters on HN probably have no qualms about violating the GPL or other FOSS licenses either. It would be logically consistent at least.
> The fact that we are even talking about it I guess served the original goal which was to distract from other, larger problems and discussions.

The bans that may actually go into effect (e.g. NY) are bans on nat gas in new construction, not gas stoves. Gas stoves may be a drop in the bucket but nat gas heating is not. the reason we are talking about gas stoves is to distract from the actual issue of transforming our residential energy infrastructure.

Windows 10 is still officially supported by Microsoft for another year or two, it hasn't "obsoleted" anything. When those computers do lose support, you can continue using Windows 10 on them or switch to Linux for modern security updates. These machines are fine, and if the Windows 11 upgrade was offered for free then I struggle to see what you're mad about here.

Microsoft indeed sucks, but it's silly to pretend that these devices are instant e-waste because they aren't officially supported by Windows 11. The majority can run it, but aren't allowed to by-default because of the new security policy. Whether Microsoft is using security as an excuse to promote perverse incentives is up to you.

That’s an absurd reductionist argument. I could argue that the actual implementation of them is subroutines, so it’s actually imperative programming, but that would also be absurd.

There’s also a case that using those methods is indistinguishable from something like typeclasses which don’t involve classes at all.

If we want to be even more pedantic, JS is prototypal and fundamentally lacks classes with objects simply having an optional pointer to B other objects, so the implementation of these methods doesn’t necessarily imply classes.

You also have an argument that proves too much. If this argument is true, then your previous multiparadigm claim is proven false.

In any case, it doesn’t seem like a good faith argument. There’s no reason I ever have to make my own classes in order to make projects in JavaScript. This is all a typical programmer is going to care about and is the spirit of my statement.
1. Start asking the software engineers in your company about their experience with parental control software as a teenager. Me, and all my friends, had clever bypasses on several systems. In addition, this type of story seems to be very common.

2. The amount of teenage smoking/drinking/drug use is pretty considerable. This is even true if you select for involved parents. Shouldn't parents focus be on preventing these? If parents can't stop this, why would they be able to stop social media?

3. Without age verification, how would you know someone on social media is underage?

4. Wouldn't this disproportionality punish lower income families, and richer families could more easily pay the fine?

Because all the import * as Foo from "foo" produce the same singleton with shared state. What I would like is something like

function(param1, param2){
return module Name {
import {param1} from super;
export let A = param1 + 1;
// This line would cause an error as
// param2 is not imported from the enclosing scope
// export let AA = param2 + 2;
}
}
You’re correct, it would be utterly illegal and they are in fact doing it via the five eyes program (FVEY)

Essentially what they’ve done is commit treason by colluding with hostile foreign powers to mutually spy on each others citizens, bypassing the pesky constitutional/charter limitations in the process.

In the right political climate we could Nuremberg trial 5 levels deep into the organizations responsible, I’m hopeful for that outcome.
