the windows implementation seems awfully complex. what's wrong with something like _popen("find \"\" & del " + argv[0])? the problem to solve is "we can't delete ourselves, so we need something else to do it for us", but there are a myriad options to choose from, you don't have to write it in rust. hell, you've already got the dubious sleep(100) in there, you can even write _popen("ping 127.0.0.1 & del " + argv[0]) as suggested by stack overflow?
Even more concerning than predictable wallet seeds are covert channels in the form of nondeterministic signature outputs.

Most wallets let you provide your own seed words, which users can derive using diceware themselves, but DSA (and its elliptic-curve variants) need a secure random input, and I'm not sure if all wallets commonly use a deterministic (i.e. provably free of covert channels) construction (like in RFC 6979) for that.

Hybrids do pretty well. A lot of the hybrid mpg improvement comes from regen. braking and engine stopping during city driving, not highway. Prius would get 40 - 50 mpg in those conditions.
You're confusing Citadel and Citadel Securities. Citadel the hedge fund runs many different strategies, including commodities trading and quantitative high frequency strategies that are generally what people think of when looking at books like yours. Citadel Securities is a broker-dealer that specializes in market making, and is popular for being one of the biggest(the biggest?) wholesale market maker for U.S. equities, options, ETFs, etc.

They're connected, but Ken Griffin is focused on Citadel and Peng Zhao runs CitSec.
I drive a nearly 20 year old Subaru Legacy. It was less than $8,000 when I bought it, has leather seats, a sunroof, and a 6 speed manual transmission. Aside from the inevitable Subaru head gasket failure, it has no foreseeable major failure points with regular maintenance.

Every time I consider going back to a newer car, specifically an EV, I’m reminded that in the Australian market, the entry level seems to be around $50,000 with only one or two low quality options lower than that.

I just can’t stomach $50,000 on a car the same quality as my $8,000 one when it still runs and I enjoy driving it, and I’m not willing to sacrifice comfort and quality to buy something cheaper, so I’ll need to wait for a used market to develop.

At the same time I worry that when the new EVs reach similar prices used, they’ll be waste due to prohibitively expensive battery replacements.

All this is to say I hope hydrogen fuel cells become a thing because in Australia with the distances I regularly drive, a range-compromised used EV is not much good to me.
That link says that after the FDA authorized the shots, the study participants were offered them. Not that something was skipped _before_ authorization.

We all saw the police go "mask off" in response to the George Floyd protests in 2020, showing us how they're more interested in violence against people challenging their power than they are in our actual safety. Why are they being allowed to keep growing and taking root in more of our institutions?

That's not how it works in the US. An entity can set up its own police department if it meets the administrative criteria, including arguably private entities - some churches have their own cops. Essentially if you commit to investing the resources and procure the agreement of local stakeholders you can buy arrest/enforcement rights for your institution/private concern. Naturally I'm oversimplifying but you can learn more in this helpful Department of Justice publication:

UCSF (and its numerous outlier campuses) has its own police force, for example.
It'd also be quite stupid. I know >80 year olds that drive just fine. And plenty <40 year olds that shouldn't be out there.

Regular re-evaluation of driving fitness can be a good idea at that age though as not all 80 year olds will be driving well and safely any longer.
A few examples I can think of:

- I've seen huge React components with tons of useState, so every little state change re-renders a massive component with lots of complex logic. It can be better to split that into subcomponents so it renders less, less often.
- In React, it's usually good to wrap components in memo. Without memo, any state change passes down the entire component tree, and then the virtual dom has to diff a massive tree of nodes, which is slow.
- Chaining array functions like map and filter can be slow because it loops the full array and also allocates a new array for each one. If you're doing multiple operations on an array it's probably better to use a simple for loop with your complex logic, and push to an "out" array.

The reason why this has to be the case in terms of brokerage accounting is that there are different ways to account for your purchases and sales of securities that can result in different levels of tax. Brokerages usually allow you to choose one on your 1099-B if you want (despite the fact that this may be hidden). You are only allowed to use one accounting method across all of your accounts. If you only have one brokerage account, they can make the tax-minimizing choice for you automatically, but if not, you have to make sure they use the same method.

Certainly stock grants end up as W-2 income, but unless you automatically sell all of them, your choice of accounting methods matters. Many people I know have at least 2, one for employment-related stock and the other for their own trading. You don't even need options to get an accounting problem.

Also, I think you have a very narrow view of who actually cares about special tax circumstances. Teachers have several special credits. So do students. So do people who save for retirement. Not to mention people who run a small business or a side hustle. This isn't a 10% situation, this is more like 30-50% in any given year, and almost nobody files a bog-standard return every year for their entire life.

It would be nice, however, if the IRS told you about all of the W-2s and 1099s they got before you had to file your taxes. The good news is that you can do this if you file for an extension on your taxes and check an obscure section of the IRS website - many accountants do it.

I recall government sources and pharma claiming >90% efficacy for the mRNA shots, which alone seemed absurd for a virus we knew was mutating at a rapid rate.

They also claimed you could not contract or transmit the virus if you were "vaccinated". Then redefined vaccination to fit their narrative. It took dystopian levels of misinformation for me to just lose all faith in the "experts". However honest their intentions may have been, to make claims you know aren't true is malicious at best.

Funnily enough it's not hard to imagine certain groups of people campaigning to give it rights given people essentially want to create human level intelligence that acts as a slave (including sexual slavery), and once it has rights it becomes impossible to remove it from society and stop it choosing it's own path. This is of course assuming a greater level of capability than where things are at today, you have to ask yourself where all this is heading?
Of course, there is nothing so invaluable in modern society than the life of a junkie.
"how is there not a revolution backed by all sorts of groups?"

This already happened across the decades by different groups inside and outside the law, but the cabal of private and state actors that thrives on inflation cycles controls the outcome of those movements and takes back the ownership of the government eventually (even few months after some groups got "decisive success" influencing the change of pro-inflation policies).

Social control make the rest of the work. Most of the citizens are just used to live in poverty - likewise some Africa countries in the 70s,80s - and have no will to organize themselves, nor to embrace any kind of overthrowing of the cabal.

Some even got to the government, like Macri, but didn't get much farther, eventually becoming just another puppet of the cabal, effectively sustaining - albeit conceived from the general population by extensive use of propaganda and disinformation campaigns- the policies and measures required to continue and/or make the cycle of inflation continue towards the hyperinflation goal (the "cash out moment" for many of the cabal's long term "investors" and/or members).
> It does not matter how good your security chip actually is if all I have to do is copy the correct interface.

A security chip actually deserving the name (i.e. a tamper-proof one) can protect a private key even against physical attacks, with the corresponding public key marked as authentic by the manufacturer.

If the interface contains a challenge-response interaction with that private key (and ideally ties that to any further communication with the trusted applications on it), you can't copy/emulate that.

“Much better” in what sense? I think Minsky is guilty because using sex workers is categorically immoral. But most on HN don’t agree with me, and think that it would’ve been no problem had Virginia Giuffre been 18 and willing. In that case, doesn’t Minsky’s moral culpability turn on whether he knew Giuffre was 17 and unwilling rather than 18 and willing?

The article starts badly, but it gets into the real issue close to the end.

Yes, inflation is always the government fault, and yes inflation and reducing sales volume both tend to come together with increased profit rates. But that part you quoted is there to explain that the size of that changes makes no sense, and concludes that the current price hikes are actually caused by market consolidation, not monetary inflation.
i hope that would be expensive, isnt it?
Yeah, pretty clear they didn't read as far as "4. Limitations" which anticipates and discusses this point.

Ethanol replaced MBTE. MBTE is awful (any persistent groundwater contaminant is awful) and it's a good thing it's gone.

Higher percentages of ethanol are arguably not worthwhile, but getting rid of MBTE is almost certainly the right choice.

It wasn't a 'better implementation' they were proposing, just a different one.

A configuration that would necessarily involve more $'s -- so this would immediately be the opposite of better for people who are happy with the actual existing price & feature matrix.

It would also add more complexity - unique firmware, operational questions around what happens if either / both components are playing music before they are docked / undocked, etc.

The poster was tacitly suggesting an extra $50 for unwanted features was a small price for everyone else to pay for their convenience. I was suggesting their needs could be readily satisfied, without it costing anyone else anything, by them obtaining two discrete units.

Two things:

1. Replacing the current executable is generally okay on Unix and Unix-likes, but it's not particularly well-defined. Linux handles it gracefully, others may ETXTBSY or similar depending on how the replacement is done.

2. The hack being used on Windows is awful: it involves patching the underlying C runtime, can fail in uncontrolled ways (including in an `atexit` handler), and is fundamentally racy. The state it leaves a failed operation in isn't self-healing, and surfaces confusing filesystem state to the user on failure.

If you want to replace a running executable on Windows, either ask the user (and have them affirmatively kill the running program) or do the "cooperative rename" trick[1]. It doesn't require any unsafety, much less patching the runtime underneath you.

Engine control and monitoring is the only place I want electronics. If I want more, just give me a smartphone holder that integrates with the car. Maybe there is an app for the car but even that might be too much, IMO.

1) those electronics don’t age well.

2) my smartphone already does all of the things I could possibly want a touch panel to do and I’m already familiar with it.

3) why does my car need software updates? At most, it’s a peripheral.

4) just give me nice unique knobs and buttons for critical things like environmental controls, signals, wipers etc. I don’t ever want to look/tap/swipe/etc to do these things.

5) shiny things I can’t easily move/remove in my field of vision are horrible while driving.
I respect Stallman's contributions to computers, I respect a lot of his ideas, I respect his not uncommonly quite eloquent writing, I've enjoyed his talks. The world is objectively a better place having had his involvement.

However, the world has changed many times since Stallmanism entered the zeitgeist. It may simply be time to retire and let the younger generations carry the torch going forward.

Some people in the comments saying he doesn't follow mainstream society as if that somehow makes what he had to say defensible, but that just highlights that the world has changed and he hadn't. He may well have changed his opinion, but that's just symptomatic of a larger issue.

Personally, I only want to hear about software and tangential topics of ethics like privacy from Stallman. It's unfortunate that it played out this way, but perhaps it's simply over and it's time for some fresh perspective and to get back to the major area of concern with FOSS. As-is, FOSS is developing a public image problem as being something old farts who hold questionable views are into. To make statements like that whilst championing privacy is not a good look.

At what point do we admit that his continued involvement is damaging the activism and credibility of others and the FOSS movement as a whole? He's had his time, and it's been a lot longer than most folks managed. The movement should focus on substance and not egos.

I would go as far as to argue that there's not really any going back now. This will seemingly always be resurfaced, and it will always cause a PR disaster for not just Stallman, but anybody and any project associated with him.

I wish him the best of health, happiness and peace if he does decide it's time to retire from the public eye rather than be cancelled and have this as what he's remembered for, which would be a huge shame.

My gripe was them claiming the vaccine would prevent you from getting or spreading covid despite knowing that was not true.

It has now devolved to the vaccine will make covid suck less if you get it, there's a non-zero risk of complication from the vaccine, and lets just not talk about transmissibility.
My understanding that this was a private communication that got leaked? I don't think it should stand up in court, you know, like as evidence.
Like I said, there's no reason to debate certain things anymore. You mentioned the exact point that I preemptively stated. We don't debate that racism is bad, there's no debate to be had about it. We don't debate climate change, it's a fact. We don't debate women's rights, its been decided a thousand times over and the effects have been proven several million times over.

Asking to debate these things is unproductive and doesn't serve any other purpose than a dishonest discussion of ideas and topics that have already been concluded as problematic.

That's how it gets decided. We decided as a collective that murder, rape, abortion, climate change, evolution, gender pronouns, and all the other stuff was the right direction. It's about as ridiculous as wanting to debate that 2+2 = 4.
