> Is there any supporting official position on this or just personal opinion?

The government figures and claims are supporting this opinion. In fact, it's been the government's opinion, not mine. I'm just quoting it.

>If true I find it very scary that a country's health and social service systems would crumble were it not for the 3 months per year the teenagers of the country contribut

9 months not 3, and yes, that's socialized care for you and an aging population when you have too many people in need of care, and too little contributions into the system since the economy has stagnated post 2008 and taxes are already high enough and no more money can be obtained this way. And it's not just healthcare work, but all social services like kindergartens, retirement homes, refugees homes, etc. that make use of 9 months of teenage labor.

> I can't imagine teenagers being or becoming anywhere near productive enough in 3 months per year

You don't need too long training to be qualified to drive an ambulance or perform CPR. At least not here. Teenagers are quite smart and quick learners if you treat them well.

>you're forcing children to give up what's probably the last carefree time of their lives to do a job they may not want and are definitely not prepared to do.

The military service is forced nation-wide (a system kept through democratic vote), while doing social public civil work is the alternative choice if you feel the military is not for you.

And the children get paid for it, and for many it's the camaraderie and opportunity to meet other young people from other parts of the country/city and make life long friends or meet future spouses while learning useful social and
life skills and feeling a sense of self worth for contributing to society, especially in the context of the west having a loneliness and depression epidemic among teens. It's also an opportunity for silver spoon kids of privilege families to get to interact with the lower classes of society and soo how others live, through this kind of work.

You're making it sounds like they're prisoners for life, but they're still free to go binge drinking and care free sex in the south of Spain after.

One of the worst things, that this article doesn't talk about, is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_clause

which is a disaster for small cities which are being served by 50-seat and smaller airplanes that are uncomfortable, uneconomical and not even being manufactured anymore.

Manufacturers would love to replace these with somewhat larger (say 70-seat) planes that have better economics and (really!) feel bigger inside than the 737 like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_family

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_E2_family

but pilot's unions are afraid that they'd be paid less to fly smaller planes if the US airline industry. The economics of this kind of plane are so much better than

that airlines would have no problems filling the seats at small airports (see "Southwest Effect".)

> Do you realize that page was established in 2013?

No, but that makes sense. The framing would have been much more apt back then than it is now, with the Snowden stuff being fresh.

> If the reference is keeping all your messages, and potentially your PGP keys, in "cloud" storage at a PRISM provider it's not particularly hard to understand some ways in which using Thunderbird instead is supposed to help. It's a fair point it's not a particularly satisfying mitigation though.

The reference is just "instead of Gmail, use Thunderbird" (e.g. https://prism-break.org/en/subcategories/macos-email/). They don't mention PGP in that section at all, though there's a later one about "Email Addons, which does, which is easy to miss (e.g. skipping b/c you don't already use addons).

Their (broken HTML) recommendation to run your own email email server is also suspect, because it's a bad tradeoff. Unless you want a second, unpaid job as email server administrator (with a pager!), you're "protecting" yourself against a rare hypothetical threat (government surveillance) by making yourself vulnerable to a much more common one (run of the mill hackers).

Realistically, they probably should have just said something along the lines of "email surveillance is practically unavoidable," so don't use it for anything you don't want monitored. PGP failed because it's too hard to use, so no one uses it, and any reasonable use of email will mainly involve exchanging messages with some "monitored provider's" servers.

Right. Basically routing (i.e. connecting pads / terminals of various electronic components) is a relatively hard problem and usually gets done by hand.

Ergogen lacks the ability to spit out routed PCBs, but the Samoklava repositories shows how to use a KiCad CLI addon to do just that and generate final files ready for fabrication (though you should always inspect them).
Wonderful! Had similar experiences, too. My dad and I built the AR1500 receiver together on top of the ping pong table in the basement. My first "transistor radio" as a kid was also a Heathkit. I can recall test equipment like a VTVM and other stuff which we also built together. It was a great introduction to electronics and radio with lifelong benefits.
> said he did not want to publicly criticize Google or other companies until he had quit his job.

This seems to me to be the only line in the article that is incorrect or incongruent with what he is now saying - specifically the use of “Google”. It’s about ~10 paragraphs in on a ~20 paragraph article (I’m eyeballing).

> Does this seem normal to you?

Yes. Currency is a mean of exchange, nothing more.

Economy is essentially how to satisfy the needs of its participants with the limited resources available. For the graph that you linked in a somewhat alarmist fashion to make sense, you need to compare it with a plethora of other information for it to make sense.

What is the productivity of people and corporations? What are the level of imports and exports? What is the cost of living? How much in taxes did the government earn? How adequate are the expenses in infrastructure? What is the level of debt held by the public and private sectors? Is that debt sustainable?

All those are just questions that I haphazardly put together while writing this reply, and they all tell other facets about the state of the economy that the money supply won't tell you.

>>Since 2007, wealth has declined for all but the top 20%.

>Oddly (or not oddly) enough that’s when the monetary base graph starts skyrocketing.

A deflationary economy would massively widen wealth inequality, as it heavily favors capital holders (as money itself gets more expensive over time).

A lot other things happened after 2007 that helped increase wealth inequality. I see the "skyrocketing" money supply as a side-effect of those things.

Correlation does not mean causation.

I'd reckon that the Palace of Versailles cost a helluva lot more than Mount Rushmore.

Edit: I haven't been able to turn up good numbers for the original cost of Versailles without spending more time than I have to spare at the moment, but on an ongoing basis the annual budget for Versailles is about €100 million, while the annual budget for Mount Rushmore is about $5 million.

Edit #2: Looks like the Brits spend around £50 million annually for the maintenance of royal palaces, and those are still in active use.

But if your phone OS / cellular firmware is compromised then e2e or even at-rest encryption won't matter. Anything you can see on your phone can be seen.

I think a more rational alternative is to consider that everything except your unexpressed thoughts and emotions is already logged. At some point, this will become true (if it ain't already), so....then you at least will be ahead of that curve.

So if everything you do is monitored, how do you achieve privacy in such a world? That is the question, I think.

In fact, it's similar to how a corporation or nation needs to think about protecting their own secrets. They have to assume compromise (of people, systems, etc)...how do you confuse and compartmentalize what you want to protect?
Reaction: Author is wearing really tight blinkers, in pursuit of a clicky headline. Multiple mentions of coworkers, but no mention of even asking about their tip income. (Let alone their strategies for encouraging better tipping. After hinting that she has zero experience at tipped serving jobs.) If she doesn't like Waffle House food well enough to eat her $3.15 meal credit every day - if only to know the menu better, and talk the food up to customers - why the heck did she apply for a Waffle House job in a tight labor market? Let alone one that's kinda distant from her home. And trying to depreciate the $28 pair of shoes over "almost 9 shifts" is laughable.

[NO, I am NOT asserting that serving at Waffle House is a good job. But this article smells more like a hatchet job than an attempt at honest reporting.]

Hey HN, I'm sorry to do this publicly but someone on Reddit suggested asking for a BlueSky invite here. I've grown really tired of constantly reporting anti-lgbt and anti-Jewish content on Twitter only to have Twitter say they don't find anything wrong.

Also, I read the HN guidelines and I think this is alright to post? If not, then I will kindly delete it.

Starship not separating, launch stand disintegrating, 5-6 raptors not working, HPUs exploding, all of those were failures. That doesn't mean the test as a whole was a failure, but you cannot say that everything worked fine.
IIRC, RocketLab launches from Wallops were delayed by about a year due to delays in FTS certification. Doesn't bode well for seeing Starship launch again any time soon.

It’s really frustrating to me how much public info is getting “dumped” in Twitter spaces, which are for the most part impossible to get back. It’s hiding useful information that would let people make more informed decisions, even if just on something like their own opinion of how something happened… it’s as if you put press releases up on a time limited Snapchat… it’s dumb. And I can immediately think why Elon is doing it, it’s harder for people to go back and dredge up what he says and report on it if the primary source is gone. It’s his choice (unless legally obligated by other circumstances such as reporting requirements) but it’s deeply frustrating to try and follow Space industry news when you have one of the most newsworthy recent events disappear into a smokescreen of hate posts online and primary sources get turned into disappearing mirages in twitter spaces.
Yep, the 2007 Ford Escape hybrid I have is a US model. The next year in 2008 was when the new Escape model design had the Ford Sync audio system with aux input.
Is that the same optical mouse you could find in Xerox-Olivetti 8088 PCs? What the pictures do not show is the raster pattern mouse pad it required. Basically same tech as in ordinary mice but the optical encoders looked directly at the surface, not at grated discs rotated by a rubber ball.

I much later found again the same mouse pad and started using it for nostalgia reasons. Sadly the mouse itself, IIRC, was not directly compatible with standard serial mice.

My dad worked almost his whole career as a Xerox (and later outsourced) service tech and I remember having all kinds of cool stuff discarded by them at home. Not many kids had their 486 full of SCSI discs.
Saying there's an ubiquitous failure of a certain approach to a problem doesn't mean "give up". I think it means you should step back, question your assumptions, think more broadly.

Yeah I don't want to be unfair or unkind, but his responses in this article seem to reflect rather poorly on his character. The thought process seems to be something like:

"There was an opportunity for someone to gain notoriety and money at a profound cost to the human race. Someone was going to do it. I don't actually feel bad about being the one to benefit, but it is fashionable to pretend to have a conscience about such things."
They’re also adding in a one time cost for shoes in their calculations on 8.5 (IIRC) shifts to come up with their low number. Shoes which should last a few hundred shifts minimum. And are tax deductible if you itemize.

Also the food credit is only a loss if you don’t use it, it’s a net gain if you get the maximum amount of food because I highly doubt it’s capped at $3.whatever.

Bad math is just bad math.
Anyone know where I can find a recording of the "Twitter audio chat on Saturday"? As-is it's not clear the article's body supports the claim made in the headline.

> Musk claimed it was because "the vehicle’s structural margins appear to be better than we expected."

What do high "structural margins" have to do with inability of the self-destruct system to respond to commands?

This is pure speculation (since again, I haven't been able to find the primary source), but it sounds to me like the self-destruct system did respond immediately, but the command to self-destruct wasn't issued because the vehicle took 40 seconds longer than expected to reach a state where a self-destruct was necessary. If that's true then this isn't a critical safety issue like the headline is implying.
I agree. Novice chess is great. Especially with local peers. I find it loses its appeal pretty quick when you start playing in a system like lichess however. Once you stop progressing quickly which is probably around a month or three of interested play.

That may not hold if it’s an established form of social competition where you can earn prestige by being good at it within your local peer group. It would be nice to see more intellectual challenges take that role among young people.
That’s 100% straw man. The issue isn’t the anime cultural reference, the issue is that the splash screens are a slightly suggestive picture of a female child/teenager who’s not in my family, which is creepy for adult males to have on display at work regardless of which country you live in.
That kind of argument can be applied to any value-based systems. s/crypto/ with /banks/, /religion/, /houses/.

No. False equivalence.

Crypto-currency has never yet demonstrated any significant value to normal people, though plenty of the latter.
In general it's a good thing that more and more people are aware of the necessity for good security practices for all online interactions - but the belief that individual technological efforts can defeat large-scale corporate and nation-state monitoring is pretty silly. At best you'll just have an added layer of security against things like theft of credit card information by criminal gangs.

If you actually want to do something like communicate with a journalist while hiding your own endpoint from exposure you have to go to fairly ridiculous lengths, such as acquiring a laptop used only for that purpose and which has no associated identifying information, use random open Wifi networks to log onto, and have a decent understanding of the concepts of public-key, asymmetric and symmetric cryptography.

Note that there is simply no way for two known parties on the internet to hide the fact that they are communicating with one another from government-corporate managers of the Internet - although it's possible to keep the content hidded, to some extent, unless your passwords get compromised, which seems fairly easy to accomplish for such actors via keylogger malware installed through backdoor attacks using secret zero-day exploits and so on.

The only real solution is the passage of data privacy laws that provide criminal penalities and which allow class-action lawsuits against corporations and governments that engage in warrantless mass surveillance or the retention and aggregation of customer's personal data in searchable databases.

Pick up a nicotine addiction.

Seriously, it has long been understood that people who smoke have dramatically lower levels of parkinsons. It comes from the neuroprotective properties of nicotine. You don't have to become a smoker, you could theoretically use any of the other forms (vape, gum, patch)
Specifically, the Federal Reserve doesn’t allow it. They are explicitly stoking fractional reserve banking by preventing narrow banking, leading to this performative art (deposits backing fractional reserve lending, FDIC oversight, etc).
