> Not sure what you are referring to with "pick a service to hold your private key". The whole point of Nostr is that you don't need any service to hold anything for you.

Serious question: Didn't the cryptocurrency people say the same thing? Look how that went -- the tech nerds tended to do it "right," and the non-tech-nerds tended to use exchanges-or-similar that were a bit less than stable, to say the least. Am I misunderstanding?
Christ-based exclamations are a thing precisely because Christians used them so much during the centuries where Christianity dominated western European culture. The people doing it usually are Christians or have been heavily influenced by Christianity. They aren't doing it to piss off Christians.
How is that different from passwords, exactly? Okay, maybe you can remember the passwords for services you use on a daily basis, but I must have a couple of hundred passwords to deal with, at least. Password managers can help with the data overload, but only at the cost of introducing the same single point of failure as a private key, and arguably a less-secure one.
But these are stdlib features, not language features.

"Proper" strings, arrays, slices, tagged unions, etc... would need to be integrated into the language (unless you want to end up with a mess like C++).

> For example, it really bothers me when I hear hateful religious doctrine spouted in public. I shouldn't have to listen to that when I walk down the street.

We should have to, though, because of freedom of speech. Graphic pornographic content is a different animal legally. Though I would suggest the parent poster avoid walking down the dead-end street clearly marked "pornhub".
The notion that this CEO and hundreds of others made bad decisions by over-hiring is sensible, but the fact that so many made the same mistake at the same time makes me second-order think this. As cruel as it sounds, what if over-hiring was a good long term decision? What would that imply?

It would mean that _not_ hiring aggressively in a high-inflation period is harmful to business. To me, that is far more interesting to think about than CEOs making dumb mistakes and not getting punished for it because life isn't fair...
> I shouldn't have to see graphic pornographic content when I walk down the street.

I can't read the original article (503 - "Service Unavailable" from a capacity issue), but where are you exposed to "graphic pornographic content" walking down a street today?

If that's happening on a public street today, I tend to agree with you, but I struggle to understand where that's happening today.
I don't think California's overall policy of enriching entrenched land owners is very different from other states. I believe the other states are only slightly behind California in terms of housing crisis phase.

If it's full disk encrypted then wiping and rewiping doesn't matter as much. As soon as the keys are trashed the data might as well be all zeros. Remote wipe is the whole point, it's not a goodbye gift to the employee... it's protecting company secrets. Wipe it and tell people to trash the machine as e-waste or send it back, it doesn't matter anymore.
Google Introduces Passkey Authentication
You can use them, but if you have two pieces of independently developed code, chances are good they're not going to use the same kinds of data structures. Unless they are arrays of 0-terminated strings.
> I'm personally hopeful that there will be a solution here eventually to streamline switching platforms and passkey managers, once someone prioritizes it.

This is hopelessly naive.

We need to be actively making a lot of noise and sabotaging industry efforts to use passkeys until the respective vendors solve data portability.
There are several issues with that approach.

First, it doesn't address the problem, because the problem is that people don't want to read articles. It happens everywhere, even in HN you could often see people commenting on headlines instead of articles.

Second, news are supposed to be informative, not appealing. Writing just the things people want to see is how tabloids work.

Third, you got it backwards. Google is feeding from the news publishers, not the other way around. Without these, Google would have no news contents.

In contrast, other sites like YouTube or Instagram actually host and pay for content. In essence, Google is saying that they don't need to pay for news content they post in their website, but they will pay for it if it is posted as a video.

I actually worked on an Azure based project recently and it was very similar.

It was a small semi static contact form that was deployed on 27 web apps (9 services x 3 environments) and used a NoSQL storage, redis, serverless stuff, etc.

Perhaps. Of course I think, I get it, I just don’t agree with it, or think it’s poorly formed.

I’m glad lots of people enjoy it in a variety of ways and am certainly glad the films were made and hope there are more like them made in the future.
And if your password is compromised?

There's no reason you need to use the same private key for every service, any more than you need to use the same password for every service.
I'm not sure how keeping your cash under the mattress and paying for groceries with it is an improvement.

Not to mention peoples money would smell like their beds. I prefer using safes for quick access things and deep unmarked holes for longer term storage. One of my methods is to pay extra for services so that I keep a credit on each account such as internet, power, etc... I also keep about 100 gallons of fuel with fuel stabilizer and SeaFoam.

I believe the logic is that if one has enough cash on-hand and their bank gets into trouble, they can still pay for food, fuel and other basic things to get by. It probably won't help for paying large bills like rent and mortgage unless people risk keeping a lot more cash on-hand. One can go into their brick and mortar bank to pay cash for their mortgage. It's good to do this periodically to pay extra towards the principal and shorten the loan duration.

From the article it seems like that "current tenants don't want the building to be improved at all so it won't become more attractive to new tenants and current ones get priced out". Looks like inverse NIMBY, NIMBY for tenants? Sad.

I’m pretty sure Musk is not a good manager, but he can select good operators for his vision. Tesla and SpaceX’s successes I believe at this point should be attributed to their other executives and leadership, with Musk just being the marketer for a bold idea and not the actual executor of that vision. Musk is hands on with Twitter and it is a disaster.

We are repeating 150 year old debates now. Occupation and possession aredifferent concepts. If you personally use a plot of land to reproduce you're well entitled to that. If you merely stake your claim to potentially use the land how you want at some point in the future, that's a different concept.

It's like the difference between sitting on a seat on the bus and claiming five different seats on the bus "in case you want a different one later", or because "you're expecting your friends to join later" or "to charge other passengers for your seating service." In times of abundance, go ahead. If those seats are the only unoccupied ones left? Scram.
I'm not comfortable with my 16 year old sending nudes, but it's also something I have no meaningful mechanism to control and is something that creating a federal case out of it doesn't help. This is one of those situations where the cure is worse than the disease. Treating children who take nude photos of themselves as criminals is not the right way to deal with this.

I would strongly suspect 11 year olds behaving in a sexual manner likely did not receive good parental instruction. On the other hand, we have an epidemic of broken homes in this country, so it's unsurprising that this is also the case. I do not think that it necessarily indicates a situation anymore dangerous than the norm, which is that many kids are neglected because they don't have active engaged parents, and they may be exposed to things which are inappropriate for their age due to the circumstances of poverty.

I didn't grow up well-to-do, and I got to be exposed to some pretty gnarly things at 10-11 that thankfully my daughter has never been exposed to, because I was able to provide a better life for her. Unfortunately there are many 11 year olds that will be exposed to horrible things, and that will have an impact on their life. I don't want these things to happen, and I have taken every step I can to make sure my own daughter is not exposed to the same things I was exposed to seeing, much of which was a simple consequence of growing up in poverty in a bad part of town (such as seeing someone OD and die at a bus stop on my way home from school).

That's all we really can do in this situation, is be better parents, there's no meaningful way that society can step in for children with disengaged parents unless we want to criminalize it and institutionalize the children. As someone who also got to experience "the system" for children in this country, it's actually far worse than having an overworked single parent who lets you use the internet unsupervised and wander around on your own while they're at work.
I’m a bit lower, but it’s also very consistent. Pretty interesting to see!

To add to that:

Both the US and the Soviets lost because Afghanistan isn't a country in a traditional sense; it's just an area of land with _lots_ of regions countrolled by war lords that doesn't have allegiance to anything central (i.e. "the country Afghanistan").

It's impossible to win a war against something like that, unless - as you correctly points out - you obliterate everything.

I must admit it looks like I will be proven wrong; I was assuming when the crisis hit cryptocurrencies would collapse immediately. Relative to the more traditional markets though they seem fine. If the ecosystem keeps doing what it does, in a few years people will have settled on a fair price for hash power and then it'll be quite competitive against these unreliable financial institutions.

Someone is going to be subsidising all the largess the regulators are going to have to distribute. That might make the cost of sustaining Bitcoin's energy burn look like the cheap option.

Next time, don't make sweeping claims that you have no way of backing up and pretending that what you're spouting is God's given truth to the world. None of what you said is evident or obvious, and it's completely ridiculous to compare it to jumping out of a plane.

You are making a massive assumption based on nothing but your own beliefs, and you need to make it clear that the assumption is nothing more and certainly not the fact you are parroting it to be.
And? Was there anything I said that was strictly wrong?

You can just show up and park. You can buy an annual pass directly from the government for ~$100 that covers campsite/entrance fees in pretty much every national park, or put some cash in an envelope with a form and leave it in a dropbox at the lot.

The problem is peak seasons. If you show up to Yellowstone without a reservation on the 4th of July weekend, you'll be lucky if you can even get into the park, much less stay there or appreciate its natural beauty.

So if you want to visit a park during a holiday, school vacation week, or most of the Summer, you need to deal with the bloated mess of a ticketing system which was created by the cheapest new grads that the lowest-bidding rent-seeking leech of a contractor could come up with.

My advice: get used to cold weather and visit in the off season. Nobody is making reservations to hike in Bryce Canyon in the middle of December.

Agreed. Swift has been such a disappointment in every department.

If you took Objective-C, modernized the syntax (removing the old bracket syntax that scares new people away from it), and added some more functionality where it is missing (eg. strings), you'd end up with a much much better language than the kludge that Swift is.

The same reason there isn't a traditional publisher with an Amazon clone. One-stop shopping does win, but very few traditional media companies would willingly distribute content for their competitors (probably you could replace "very few" with "none"). Even if they were willing to do that, the antitrust people would be on their butts in short order.

What's wrong with people moving from California to Iowa?
At a tech-focused business, probably, but think about all the programming jobs and IT departments that ultimately roll up to very non-technical people. Often what happens is a vendor becomes the chosen vendor for some expensive tool (think Microsoft, Red Hat/IBM, Oracle, whatever), and they have a solution for almost everything (theoretically). You start having to justify why you want to use a different thing to people who don't care.

Say you have 200 windows servers, and someone wants to use linux, "Why, what are you trying to solve?" Sometimes the industry forces the issue (think marketing people using Macs), but generally people are trying to streamline things they don't care about. "Use the tools that come in this box we buy from this vendor who we pay all our bills too, everything else is a weird liability I have to worry about hiring for and keeping track of."

The end result tends to be pretty mediocre though.
Poor Christians, such a persecuted minority in the US, definitely worse off than LGBT, PoC and women. Yeah I'm doing whataboutism, but seriously, check your privilege.

"this stuff really bothers us" Have you tried minding your own business? Christianity is forced on people through money ("in god we trust"), politics, the legal system (christianity-based laws and morality) schools (pledge of allegiance, book bans), etc.

But sure, you shouldn't have to see graphic porn when walking down the street; is this an actual issue? Does people's privacy and online services have to be amended to make this illegal? Because last time I checked, nothing changed about public decency, and it's not a religious issue.
It’s like the story with the blue checks.

It used to be you had a blue check because you were freaking William Shatner, it’s not about whether or not William can afford or want to pay $8 a month, but it was an honor to have a blue check in the past, now it means nothing.

Problem is that being able to subscribe to and interact with famous people was one of the unique selling points of Twitter. Now you can’t tell William Shatner from the impersonators and because people like that are being driven away, Twitter will lose one of the reasons to be there.
The different bulbs have different "minimums" I've noticed, but if you really want a nightlight setting you might want to get a dedicated bulb or light for it. The full color at "very low red" are quite low.

what is the problem with this. State controlled media are useful accounts to follow, they will tell you the policy position of the governments in question. If they gain followers presumably this is one the volition of those who choose to follow, free competition for ideas and all that. Suppressing accounts is preferring comfortable ignorance over discomforting awareness.
Bluesky is destined to fail for the same reason every other attempt has failed, it only attracts a certain crowd, which ruins the point of the platform. Twitter is full of diverse thoughts and opinions; with news you can't get elsewhere. People also aren't going to dump their millions of followers to have to rebuild their brand elsewhere, so they'll post to both; and unlike with Tiktok, etc where your posts would be unique to that platform, you are just posting the same things you'll post to Twitter. I don't see Bluesky lasting more than a few years. The best bet is that Elon will get bored with Twitter and appoint a CEO that is competent.
All the folderol exists so that ordinary people don’t lose their accounts permanently when they inevitably forget a password.

With just a private key, no such protection. Unless you take active steps to store the key safely, you’re a few Backspace key presses away from losing your account forever (or at the other end, having it stolen if you leave the key lying around).

Twitter was managed well before? They were burning money on useless people like no tomorrow, hardly rolled out any new useful features and spent all their time policing the platform.

Whatever Musk is it's certainly not worse off then before. NPR threw a tantrum because of a label that wasn't the same as what Chinese and Russian media had, which they disingenuously claimed was the same. Then they threw a tantrum when Musk in response removed all labels from ALL media organizations.

Musk is certainly not building trust with the advertisers, but neither are the advertisers acting in good faith. It was also quite the spectacle to see all those blue checkmarks flip out at losing something they got for free to the extent that they went around saying that peoples lives would end because of it.
