It highlights a sickness that every social network has, and explains the title of the article well using real-world examples that folks are likely to understand. I see what you're getting at with getting too deep into all the nuance a subject has, but the nuance in this case just isn't very thick: "social media" makes it's profit by using you as a resource, which means spying. If you use anything in that space, it will spy on you. And it is all for the same reasons.

That said, it doesn't have to be repeatedly discussed. That's fair! But this article is high up and generating comments, so I feel other folks don't agree with you :)

> there is a meaningful difference between these actions taken by a geopolitical adversary and these actions taken by SV growth hacker culture.

Both countries are about equally likely to throw me in prison or harm me in some way. SV also exists to funnel data into the spy complex of the US (just as TikTok probably does for China). For someone outside of the US (and even inside...) the threat levels are the same.
Not me, but I hope an SME will be along in a minute so we can both learn...
Do they use water towers for pressurising mains water in Netherlands?
Gon need some citations there boss. Most studies I've seen of this show no or only a very weak link between enforcement and crime rates. There are a ton of confounding variables & broader trends and it's very difficult to make confident assertions about it. It is mostly only the police and police affiliates who release "studies" that strongly correlate these.

What you're saying makes intuitive sense but it turns out people are not for the most part destined for criminality or not. It's a social phenomenon that responds to social pressures and incentives. If you arrest all the criminals in an area, the pressures that created them will create a new batch of criminals, in fact are already creating them.
Has the world moved past the need? Last summer, we were talking about the possibility of rolling blackouts during the winter. And while that was not necessary, a kilowatt-hour of electricity was tens of cents during the winter. I remember at least seeing 0.40€/kWh and it probably exceeded 0.50€ at points.
If you haven't already, I would consider some less committal steps to find out more about the problem you're experiencing.

1. Take an unusually long time off - double whatever the most is you've taken in recent years. If you don't have the leave, call off sick. Keep a note of how you feel about work each day when you get up and when you go to bed.

2. Try to list what makes an unusually good day at work. Even in a very samey job there are days you travel; days you have meetings with specific kinds of people; days you work on something a bit unusual.

3. Consider finding a good (not always easy, but if you can afford it you'll have a much better hit rate if you go for min. £75 an hour) psycho-dynamics therapist. When "interviewing" them, say that your initial goal is to find out if moving jobs will make you happy.

What you do in your early thirties when you have the freedom and desire to instigate a big change could be very important, and it's worth finding out more about yourself to help make the right choice.
I said our friend was trying to "insinuate something sinister;" it takes heroically motivated reasoning to read that to mean that their opinion was sinister rather than whatever conspiracy they meant to imply is happening.
As far as I currently understand it, most of the code on my headunit is probably 99% identical to the code on 2021 Accord units. Same goes for Acura cars; I can't publish the APK files themselves but there are Acura versions of Honda logos in most of the APKs. Also check out some of the APK filenames: https://github.com/librick/ic1101/blob/main/docs/apk-hashes.....

I welcome PRs/contributions from the community; things like Honda-internal model numbers represent a non-technical obstacle for me as a lone developer. It'd be great to see boot/recovery images for similar vehicles, Accords included.

One of my goals is right-to-repair adjacent. I bought a Honda in the first place because they have a reputation for having an active modding scene and I see value in that positive feedback loop. Hopefully having the repo as a resource helps other people do more hardware mods or manufacture cheaper/consumer-friendly replacement parts.

I've considered trying to make an open source replacement of the /sbin/earlyrvc binary for rear camera hacking specifically. I caught a lucky break because the binary includes logging messages left in by the Honda devs and the messages include method names.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement :)
Let's say it takes n batteries to store electricity produced one day and use it the next day. Then it takes 10n batteries to store electricity produced during ten days and use it during the next ten days.

With synthetic fuel let's say it takes m fuel producers / consumers to store electricity produced one day and use it the next. Then it still takes m fuel producers / consumers to store electricity produced during ten days and use it the next ten days. The only thing you need to scale up is your fuel tank, but that is very cheap.
Big balloon tethered to sea floor. Pump air in when you've got spare energy, hydrostatic pressure forces air back out when needed. The neat bit is that the air pressure doesn't tail off as the bag empties. Site near offshore windfarms and you don't need much more infrastructure.
I don‘t believe it was destroyed. Russia would have continued attacks ok Kiev otherwise.
Deception is always possible, but both Ukraine and the US have claimed only minor damage to the Patriot, repaired and back in service within a day. Patriot batteries are also made up of a number of different launchers; damage to one doesn't take out the whole thing.

All we have in the footage to go on is a flash. No indication of what kind or how much damage was done in it.

If i had to relocate, probably not.

But in a normal tech hiring market, I’ve given up full time roles for a six month contract to perm role that paid slightly more. But built my resume.

I would have definitely jumped at my current $BigTech remote role where I made over $150K more over two years than I was making at a 60 person startup I left even if I had known the job would have lasted two years. No I wasn’t laid off. This is purely hypothetical.

Medicine is one of the most corrupt industries in the world. Patients are competely at the mercy of their doctors, who very often have a financial conflict of interest in what they prescribe.

The deference shown to those in whose hands one's life, or the lives of their loved ones, sits, means there is even less effort to subject them to accountability than the paltry amount that there would otherwise be.
For what it's worth, I'm not aware of there being multitudes of people running into the same thing you're seeing -- it's part of why this particular case is so odd to me.

I do see that you're in touch with Erik regarding gift cards, though, and that's definitely an alternative that should get you back into a workable state!

VanillaNet: The power of minimalism in deep learning
There are trashcans outside of practically every convenience store, which exist about every 100 feet. They don't expect you to go walking off eating or drinking whatever you just bought. People hang outside the store, eat/drink/smoke, discard their waste and carry on. It's just a different culture and societal expectation.

If you want my honest feedback don't do it. It depends on what you want to do exactly, but most of the outcomes of manual labor is the same. I'm in my mid 40's and my girlfriend is in her early 50's. I worked with chocolate and ran the family candy store when my dad couldn't. She's been a chef for 20+ years. The thing no one tells you is that it's brutal on your body. It'll break down after a time. The pay is bad, and it won't cover the cost of what you're doing to yourself in the long term.

You also have to be prepared for a major culture shift from what you're used to. The food industry at least is different than what you're probably used to. It's rough. You have to be comfortable with things not being above board, heavy drug use and heavy alcohol.

Our jobs in tech are so easy compared to what other people go through. The pay is good, and the freedom is amazing. Unfulfilling is really a complaint well off people get to talk about that aren't struggling to survive.
Although it's not hard to find stories of people who worked a high-powered professional job, burned out, and now works in something much "lower" down and loves it.

Obv doing that would be a mistake for a lot of people for money reasons, but still.

A Unified Theory of AI Risk
>Um... which platform?

In practice all non-TSO machines that need a load-load barrier for acquire but no barrier for data dependencies (i.e. loads through pointers). Notably this includes ARM and POWER. These architectures still needed relatively expensive fences on the release path.

On TSO machines (SPARC, x86 for example) acquire loads and release stores are free.

Alpha was the strange outlier that also needed a barrier for the dependent load path.

But acquire and release are such a sweet spot for programming that ARM (and apparently POWER) have since added cheap (although not free) acquire load/release stores.

Far from being a mess, the C++11 memory model (and acquire/release in particular) has been an unmitigated success that has allowed writing, discussing and proving the correctness of very practical lock free algorithms on real hardware while not resorting to the expensive SEQ-CST model. Also since it inception, all relevant architectures have formalized their memory model and made sure that they can implement acq/rel efficiently.

Ask HN: What Mastodon server should I choose?
As I've posted a lot to HN you can get an idea of my interests and style. I agree very much with the HN guidelines with the exception that I have a few interests, such as sports, that aren't welcome in HN.

What I don't like is continuous breathless posting about our political system being in a state of crisis and it doesn't matter to me if the crisis is that "they" want to take away your AR-15 or that "they" want to kick Disney and NASA out of Florida. (What both sides seem to agree on is they'd prefer to live under one-party rule like China)

I certainly like free software but I use Windows on a regular basis and don't want to be a pariah because of this.

On my current server I find some people I like but the "explore" page is 90% people I want to mute. I'm wondering where would be a better fit for me?
How to Monitor Snowflake with Grafana Cloud
Having checked the website https://kidzfun.art, it looks like you compute the masks once, and don't recalculate anything upon edits.

If you would like to dynamically adjust the masks, the following algorithm should be O(sqrt(N)) lines of JavaScript executed for realistic cases:

Split the image up into monochromatic regions of at most 1000-4000 pixels (you want to regions to be roundish rather than long and stringy, so use breadth first search to create them). Then keep track of a graph of these regions with edges between adjacent regions. For a 2000x2000 pixel image, the graph should contain ~4000 nodes, so finding a monochromatic component would not take an appreciable amount of time.

Updating the graph after a fill operation is straightforward - just relabel the color associated with each changed region. The only point I'm uncertain of is whether canvas operations are fast enough that each region can have its own mask and up to 4000 draws as described in the blog post don't take too long. The individual masks wouldn't be very big, and the total number of pixels to be colored isn't any different to the blog post, so it may be possible.

If something is drawn with the pen tool, then every region it touches would need to be recalculated. Assuming the pen tool is circular and not substantially larger than 1000 pixels itself, this should be a fast operation as it won't overlap too many large regions and there are few enough regions we can iterate through all of them every frame for a bounding box test.

There are cases where this goes wrong - for example if the regions end up being very stretched. If there are 1000 1-pixel wide vertical lines, and the drawing tool allows a 1000 pixel horizontal line to be drawn in 1 frame, the algorithm described looks at a million pixels (possibly 4 times each as it checks for adjacency), which might be too slow. However, since this is aimed at a touchscreen, I'd be impressed if your children can and want to draw accurately enough to cause a problem. Further optimisations could work around this problem (and other problems such as having lots of 1-pixel regions that would bloat the graph).

devit's suggestions are also worth incorporating.

Since this algorithm only becomes interesting with edits, it's not really something I could implement as a pull request to the GH repo.

I may have been in error on my opinion. I just did manual web search, and asked ChatGPT+Web and Bing+ChatGPT and could not find much to support my opinion. I will keep looking.

Anyway, thanks for challenging my opinion - I am likely changing my mind on this.
Serious question, in an interconnected online marketplace how are you supposed to comply with these granular state and sometimes municipal laws.

Is there some kind of monitoring database or notification that you can subscribe to?

It seems very expensive for every single business to have a compliance lawyer specifically for this task of complying with each state's mandates to a tee.
Correct. No one crushes empty soda cans in Michigan because you lose the deposit.
Plans are useless.

Plannning is essential.
I suspect it helps with temperature regulation for the tanks.

Building a SaaS with Rust and Next.js
I feel badly because it seems like I've sort of wasted the potential of my education - but I'm only 4 years in so we'll see what happens.

Worst case, I'll just schlep it as an electrician or some kind of consultant.

$200k jobs seem hopelessly out of reach and I have no real idea how to rectify what is seemingly wrong with my track record.
Because telcos blindly trust the metadata passed to them from outside their networks, and this is by design (going back decades to when all telcos were "trusthworthy" quasi-national actors).

The sheer volume of calls that go through a phone network, and the lack of a central system to locate the true source of a call, means it's somewhere between prohibitively expensive and impossible to validate and verify the metadata of every call coming into a telco's network.
This is just the CCP system, but privatised (worse).

Law enforcement won't be happy until every last one of us is under 24h surveillance at all times.

You're criticizing someone's use of the term "American values" when they both put scare quotes around it and said that the CIA was not interested in them.

Though I can't imagine this is going to be particularly constructive, I've spent a lifetime on the lookout for any opportunity to brag about the names I've given various hardware devices because they're quite funny.

Perhaps - for end users/non-admins - it'd be best to point first to a list of "favorite" names??

Here are my favorites of mine, which have all notably performed the function of a unique system name quite admirably:

- Gravel (iPhone 8 Plus)

- Jorts (iPhone 12 Pro Max)

- Hildur (Desktop PC)

- [Kudzu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudzu) (iPad Pro)

- Winterkorn (Wireless OBD2 Scanner)
It seemed to work well in Angular in the tiny app where I tried it, but to be clear I didn't directly mess with the history API – I used the navigation mechanisms of the Angular framework to manage this. Calling the browser history API directly could probably confuse the framework.
I focus more on the outcome I would be okay with and my progression towards it over the problem. As I learn more, I can get a better sense of what the outcome should be.

If I'm approaching the problem first and not the solution, I try to classify if the problem is technical or organizational. If it's technical, I try to identify each of the barriers, and search endlessly for something that looks like it would get me a little further along in getting insight into how to solve the problem. It its organizational, I look at how I would restructure how I am approaching the problem or work or communicate with others in solving the problem.

Sometimes, I need to redefine the problem, scope of the problem, or what a successful outcome looks like. For example, I wanted to find a way to verify that the reports I was entering in PDF forms were being filled out properly. I spent forever trying to find a tool or program the PDF form to be verified. After a while (several months), I realized that verifying a spreadsheet would be a lot easier, and that I could generate the same report from the spreadsheet. Once that perception changed, I was able to tackle the problem I had: not being able to ensure that a procedure was filled out properly.
Sadly because of trade harmonization that "US insanely long copyright lengths" are now everywhere's "insanely long copyright lengths".

Imho it should be "50 years or 10 years after death of the author, whichever comes second" with some special mechanism for releasing abandoned works from copyright.
It really depends on your personal circumstances. If you have no dependents and live in a medium-low cost of living area then you have a lot more freedom.

That is indeed how the law works. The law is nothing without enforcement.

A better example would be Uber, though, a company which is now massively success despite early legal problems

Also, once again, Facebook likely wants everyone to be using their product and is unlikely to go after people.
What is the public data about the cost of this and its sustainability as a business? Seems like a facade if unsustainable...
"Um. Isn't that what this case is trying to establish? It's unclear what the legal expectation is or isn't."

Not really. The general terms are quite settled that it is fine for a person to film stuff from a public area, even if they are able to see a private area. The question is about whether police can also do that or if the 4th amendment prohibits it. Based on the long standing decisions that you don't have an expectation of privacy of being filmed from a public location and that the reasonable expectation of privacy is all that prohibits a "search", then it's a pretty logical outcome. Unless, again, they want to change the longstanding test. So it would not be about establishing anything, but rather changing something.

Absolutely! Alas, the Finnish administration seems more interested in using areas with cheap electricity to attract electricity-intensive industry rather than, say, exporting it to other countries. Heck, in neighbouring Sweden they have issues transferring power from the large hydro dams in the north, to the densely populated south where the power is needed.

While building better grids is practically doable, I don't see it happening anytime soon; the idea, of using cheap electricity to entice a FAANG to build a data center in one's backyard is preferable to most elected officials here.

In that situation it's probably better business to just buy cheap electricity off the market and use it to do something useful.
In defense of those customers, the back button has become a game of Russian roulette. Most of the time it takes you back to the page or UI state you were on. The rest of the time it breaks the JS, takes you to an awful "before you go" page you never navigated to, displays the mysterious "confirm form resubmission" dialog, or in the case of the infamous Treasury Direct site, marks your account as disabled until you perform a new kind of corporeal signing ritual that your local bank branch manager has never even heard of but apparently must now perform with you.

It's sadly reasonable not to expect users to trust, or even try, the back button.
