Thanks for this really interesting feedback – especially that the subdomain method could create more opportunities for cache poisoning.

Interested to explore how a cache poisoning attack might be easier on a Domain Verification protocol TXT record compared to a DNS-01 TXT record.

Given the scenario: an attacker is attempting to claim a domain (example.com) with service provider (SP1) who uses a DNS revolver (DR1) I don’t immediately see how the subdomain approach makes a cache poisoning attack easier.

Couldn’t the attacker similarly keep asking DR1 for <rand>._acme-challenge.example.com and spam back NS delegation answers for _acme-challenge.example.com, with the goal that upon cache poisoning success, they could fraudulently claim example.com with SP1?

I may have overlooked something here, if so please explain.

With either method, DNSSEC would definitely seem the solution as you’ve suggested.
This looks fantastic :))
How do you think AI and tools like midjourney could improve this asset creation process (if you think they can be used in this scenario)?
I mean, as someone who had a newborn during that time it was pretty stressful and upsetting trying to feed them. But I can understand if you have been completely insulated from these issues in your life why you might take more issue with the authors tone.
I guess the people cheering this have not lived in Europe. Typically what happens is that some of the local hackers who naively trust the state and disclose their hacks will have the book thrown at them. Either on the basis of an inconsequential technicality or because authorities arbitrarily decide the hack intended to cause harm or was not "proportionate", enabled by the vague wording of the law. Meanwhile the actual criminals who mostly aren't located in the EU to begin with get off scot-free, even if they can be tracked back to Russia or somewhere local law enforcement can do nothing about it in the majority of cases.
In the case of plastic, you have a chemical issue. The linguistic issue - the ambiguity and the "poor choice", that plastic will more easily "break down" in chunks, not in de-structured carbon etc. -, can point to that.

We are already seeing some material variations that are strongly ineffective for their intended purpose, and that will contribute more to the diffusion of microplastic instead of (re-)cycling.
Your directors are more creative than mine. Our CyberSecurity had ChatGPT non functional within days of it being released publicly. Apparently it's too much of a risk, or some nonsense.
I usually charge phones wirelessly, and since I built the charger into my desk it's easy to pick up the phone, do what I want to do, and put it back down again. There's no friction at all, so unless you want extended use there's no issue.

I rarely even think about charging it anymore.
>QM is whack

Very much so. But I also think it always had to be that way. A universe of infinite classical regression (atoms made of atoms made of atoms...) would be more insane than whack.
That was my experience exactly. Burnout creeps on you without you realizing and only once it stops and you disconnect completely do you realize the mess you were.
Any links? I'm assuming you mean something more than the periodic rollups?
I believe you mean a technology called NeRFs. Check his out:

This still has to be bridged with compressed texture representations (and compressed model representations) but I think that's not too far away.
I recently repaired a family member's iPhone. A crappy Lightning cable had been used and the tip metal piece of the plug had somehow broken off and gotten stuck inside the socket.

Like this:

Here's a decent 2 minute video that explains the problem and the fix:

It's really a shocker to me whenever I see people in obviously difficult situations worry about their productivity. Like is this really what modern life has become? Build whole identities around being productive and doing a good job to an extent that someone who sees a foundation of their life falling apart is feeling guilt about not doing enough for their work.
> If we had enough in the 50s

By what standard? In the 50s a lot of things didn't even exist.

> then if we took a hit on GDP now when we have more productivity than the 50s, then we can take care of everyone.

If the hit is closer to 100% than to 0% then no. Examples: The USSR, Maoist China, North Korea.
Like you point out, the “unfair[ness]” of making better chargers faster than the EU standard can keep pace threatens to revert to least common denominator experience in the name of less waste.
Removing ports is ironic as, other than headphone jacks from phones, USB type A being dropped from MacBooks (iMacs and Minis have always had USB Type A) in favour of USB-C is the port HN loves to moan about, and here we are, arguing for USB-C on an Apple device. The money, as others point out is a rounding error.
So you buy something else like Nest, and then google buys the company and removes your functionality anyways.

That is, if vendor lock in will even allow you to get some other product without having to replace every device in your home (and hope this new vendor doesn't do the exact same within a few years).

Fair consumer protection regulations are necessary in modern society, the "vote with your wallet" strategy doesn't scale.
It’s the same in Instagram: removing recommended posts only has an option to remove for 30 days. The consistent enshittification of products with these sorts of behaviours just makes me want to use them less. Unfortunately I’m sure they’ve got data that shows that my reaction is a minority.
> One of the issues I got with Apple Shortcuts is the lack of timer based triggers.

That’s odd, I have (just double checked) an automation to run a shortcut every day at 0030 on my iPad. Maybe it’s just disabled on iOS?
That would be fraud to investors, given investors own the company in a shared manner. If some investor approve printing new shares all investors should be notified. But there are no laws settings how many shares a company can print.
I am one of them. Heck, I have even worked for a wireless charging startup for years :)

Even though I own all sort of wireless charging gadgets, somehow prefer the definite result of connecting a cable compared to putting my phone on a surface and moving it a lil bit to make sure it work and is in/supports fast charging mode. I have of course cables all around me.

> What happens when there is a better USB-C plug

EU laws are not like physics laws, you can change them. That's why so many people are employed in policy and law making.

So if it happens that in the land of cable freedoms they come up with something much better, it would be adopted. At first, those electronics which can accommodate more than 1 type of charging plug will start getting this new plug alongside with USB-C and if there's actual demand for it they law will be changed to allow only that plug.

I don't know how much if this is about environmental concerns, I'm under impression that EU is never happy about rent seeing companies and tries to standardise everything. That's probably why it's going after browsers and App stores: it expect company products to be picked for competitive reasons, not compatibility reasons. Another example is EUs enforcement of standardized EV charging plugs, arguably Tesla plugs can be better but overall it's better for everyone to be able to charge everywhere even if it was possible to have slightly better charging plugs on some stations.

I imagine, the US citizens are confused by all this due to the nature of how EU and US function. With GDPR, the American audience was imagining that startups will go bankrupt when trying to comply with EU law and there were tantrums about some people abandoning their projects because they don't have resources to deal with EU regulations. Maybe it's because how lawsuit happy the US is, maybe it's because how the laws are enforced in US is different than most of EU - I don't know, but in general Europeans feel differently than Americans about the government involvement.
What are the open, easy to install and use, and sustainable alternatives? It feels like enough work has been done on the margins of replicating some of the capabilities of Alexa and Google Nest hardware and software, but it’s not packaged up in an accessible way for the mass-market?
"Furthermore, many USB-C devices that are sold are low quality and can damage devices that are plugged into them by failing to follow the specification (eg delivering too much power)."

The simple solution as done elsewwhere across many technical endeavors is to mandate standards, that's why the ISO exists.

For example, if I plug a 220/240 Volt appliance into a power wall socket that's rated at either 220 or 240V then it should work properly—one doesn't expect say 400V out of said socket.

That countries mandate a given voltage ± a specified tolerance that's well defined is specifically to avoid malfunctions/equipment damage.

A manufacturer that goes against mandated standards should suffer the consequences.

If other industries have no problem with mandated standards then why should the IT/computer industry be excepted or any different?
How did you decide on the CAT achievement test to resell? How does it compare to alternative tests (like Iowa) for homeschoolers?
Ah, Mattermost. Their philosophy is to get people involved on terms they do not intend to keep, and then pull the rug from beneath them and force them to pay up. It's the only chat program I know where they've rugpulled the same basic features and put them behind premiums more than once.

It still kind of blows my mind that basically all this reduces to assembly and then machine language.

I’m of the age where my first computing experiences were on green screens, PET computers, networked VAX machines at the colleges my parents taught at and so on.

I was aware of what assembly was back then, and the idea that the game or basic business program I was using was just a sequence of MOVE ADD eax and so on. I just couldn’t quite get how you could be smart enough to use that to something useful.

And everything we see today is basically just a bunch of moves and adds and pokes a layer or three below the surface.
One of the funny/sad consequences of watching Silicon Valley, is that a lot of my friends (in my African country where only 4% has electricity) think that the startup need to expand no matter what, even if it has no viable business model, you can run a "budgetivore" business for many years like Linkedin/Amazon and in the end you will find a business model.

So imagine. Instead of building good and sound startups that can be champions in the country/region, they waste the meager resources available in the country on fake startups/crypto-scams.

Sad.
If you have any hallucinations at all, you're not microdosing. Microdosing is right before the tipping point of recognizing you took something at all. It should be recognizable from long-term effects, not immediately.
If the new plug comes from a big company (like Apple) then maybe they have the time, money and lawyers to push it through the bureaucratic layers a couple of years until maybe it gets approved.

However, there is very little chance for that to happen now, considering most of innovation comes from small startups who don't have the resources or disposition to research something that is illegal to put on the market. So we are stuck with USB-C and committee-driven "innovation" for the foreseeable future.

Hopefully Apple will not adopt this forced mandate on other markets and maybe they can innovate there and back port the improvements to the EU. Most of tech innovation currently happens in the US anyway. We'll see, but I am not optimistic. Large companies always benefit from regulations since they have the resources to comply while denying a possible differentiator for small companies.
I have a suggestion for Google: make an interactive graphical mind map representation of your products and shows relationships between them. Have that be the response to google.com/products. Add layers, like for a map, that show old and new names, and proposed names. Make an attempt to identity the product-neutral set of "degrees of freedom" that each product gives the user. This would be a fun, stand-alone project for an intern. Maybe use D3 or processing.js for the front-end.

Such an artifact would be useful to users and Google leadership alike.
Maybe they could pull their heads out of their rears and put Google Duplex on iPhone?

One day I fully expect to wake up to find my phone issuing me the warning "Google Fi has been discontinued. Please find an alternative carrier by the end of the month"

Or

"Google Photos has been replaced by our new service, Google Pixa. Please back up your photos as they cannot be transferred to our new service"

It's almost like their project/team structure depends on cannibalisation.

I already lost my wedding playlist (2019) because Google decided to rebrand Google Play to YouTube Music.
My wireless charger has magnets that align it and keep it aligned.

The reverse is possible too: there are some verbs (at least savoir and pouvoir, not sure if there are others) that can be negated just with ne, without pas, although it sounds stilted and old-fashioned. You are unlikely to encounter this in the real world but it does show up in books. For example Dumbledore in the French translation of Harry Potter says “je ne puis” and “je ne sais” a fair amount.
AI is scary like Harari says but the tone of the article sounds better like a Terminator movie: we are fighting to a new technology, there will be a war if AI reaches some intelligence thresholds (passing the Turing test or not...).

I am saying that just as an hypotheses: I don't think we can control the daemon or alien as Harari suggest. The AI technology is different from nuclear technology, "everybody" has the technology to run it. We don't need enriched uranium.

All this challenge anthropocentrism. At the end is the complex reality who will shape the next iteration of the world.

From a more HN social perspective, I think it is important that everyone could potentially create and access this technology based on open source software and computing power.
I wish some of the privacy focused GA alternatives had SOC 2 reports, or ISO 27001. We’re working towards our first SOC 2, which makes it hard to incorporate anything without one into our product.

On prem is a lot of work, and not something i want to approach lightly.
It depends on how AI technologies are distributed in society. Let's assume the worst case. A restricted set of people have access to AI technologies. Let's call them "The AI Rich". All the rest of the population is effectively useless to the AI rich.

You are saying that the rest of the population will starve to death because the AI rich won't given them jobs. They won't build their houses etc.

But guess what? In a free market the AI poor can still trade and work as they always did. It doesn't matter if the AI rich build and exchange yachts and other luxury goods between them.

What you have now is a two tier economy, but not one where people are starving.

This is also the worst case scenario which I don't think it's going to happen as AIs systems are proving quite easy to replicate and most algorithms are open-source (and training data is available publicly).
> Want to improve it? Contribute to USB, or come up with an entirely new standard that everyone can agree to.

They tried that with Lightning. Micro USB won because it was cheap. Apple are USB-C contributors.

> Enough with the FUD.

Indeed.
> There are many good and decent people, who are firmly rooted in reality and facts, that count themselves as part of the Republican base.

I'm sure that's true, but those people aren't being voted for. Those people aren't in power and as long as people are voting for literal Nazis there is no discussion to be had. Can't have a rational discussion with people who don't believe you should even exist.
AMD Linux support is excellent. Overall support will depend on what the OEM puts on the motherboard: touchpad, networking, sound, backlight, etc.

True. But the scalper problem was so large before that they didn't have a better option.
If it were just Marvel. My impression is, we'll soon have every movie that was moderately impactful in millennial childhoods be reanimated in some endless loop of seqels or turned into a "cinematic universe". Probably with LLMs streamlining and automating that process.
My point was that it's covered irrespective of the number of times a paper gets downloaded or read. The papers could get read 0 times but they're still making bank as long as they have those library contracts
it is free under fair usage, for now. i will add some pricing later. but planning to offer a free layer. did you use it / like the product?
Reviewers don't get paid indeed. It used to be that in exchange for getting published, you'd join a pool of reviewers that got to review new submissions. I reviewed plenty of papers like this. Many of them pretty bad too. It's not a fun job and it's important to do it well because some other sorry person is going to be reviewing your paper at some point. The price of publishing is having to read a lot of poorly written papers.

Editors don't actually get involved with the review process unless there is some conflict. Editors are of course paid positions. Their job is to keep supply and quality up. Generally, they get more hands on later in the process.

The only cost beyond that is indeed some simple, mostly automated, layout work and file hosting. Some of the more prestigious publications have actual professional editors on staff that work with authors to improve style and quality. But most scientific journals don't do any of that. Actually printing the papers is rare these days. It's mostly online at this point.

I've been out of academia for twenty years now, so things have changed a bit probably. But even back then, it was all pdfs and I rarely used printed media (other than laser printed copies of pdfs). Visiting a library or handling actual printed journals or a photocopier just wasn't a thing. Most of that went away in the nineties.
In this thread: people invest time into a free product and then complain that they get rugged.
How do you know how to change the laws if nobody is allowed to try different things (thus innovate)? USB-C didn't come from nowhere, and it wasn't a given that it's better than MicroUSB - first the market tested it, then it became a standard.

EU laws have worldwide effects, there's no land of cable freedom anymore.
GPT is surprisingly good at helping you ask yourself questions, and providing some ideas for exploring better well-being.
Probably Perl, though it will continue to bring surprise to those who find it has been gluing their systems together.
Well blame the consortium members that rejected it over Micro USB!
The elementary school I attended thought this system (+an additional list of blacklisted sites) without a supervisor password was enough to keep students from accessing non-age-appropriate material on school computers. It sure didn't stop me.

I'm using the matomo self hosted version and like it overall. I love you can track all outbound clicks without having to specifically add Dom elements to outbound links to make this possible.
Unfortunately matomo is blocked just like Google Analytics by every ad/tracking blocker. Doesn't matter if you host it yourself and only track global stats vs tracking users across the web like GA does. The only solution seems to be writing your own analytics.
This can be true for some resources that people consume in limited amounts, like food. It's not true about houses, cars etc as you can always want a larger one, a faster one etc.
I wonder about this point.

Let’s say there’s a UBI, there’s still a ton of jobs that won’t be taken over by the robots for at least the rest of my life that will still need to be done. If we learned anything from the Covid unemployment benefits it is given a chance people will sit at home instead of working for essentially the same amount of money.

What they don’t ever explain is how they plan on incentivizing people to do all the crap jobs. Everyone always talks about the writers and programmers needing to get compensation for their lost jobs but for every one of those there’s probably a dozen people who would get a raise from a UBI and just stop working.

Unless there’s an underclass that is prevented from collecting the same UBI as the displaced white collar workers I can guarantee you there will be nobody taking that job to suck out your septic system.

And I’m intentionally ignoring any economic impacts of a UBI because I’m more interested in how people propose to solve this without creating a virtual caste system.
