I'm not doing research for someone as disingenuous as you (sorry I don't have a canned response file for reference on Government overreach/abuses) but this was a discussion on this website just yesterday:

I'm pretty sure since you made your way to Hacker New you can also Google the relevant information you are asking other who came to a random article to somehow have already compiled for you.
You don’t even need to convince the handful of people in charge. Independent geoengineering will become a thing faster than you expect.
Some of us are attached to our current civilization and would like to preserve it. Others would like to continue enriching themselves.
Wasm is just a lobotomized assembly. On an embedded device your code is likely the only thing running so just use normal asm? Your free copy of GCC will happily compile c to it. Try.
Well their wiki page says "300+" employees pre-layoff citing this source https://www.gamekult.com/actualite/la-premiere-mise-a-jour-m... (although I can't see any reference to that number in that text. My French is practically nonexistant though)
Note that Toit has nothing to do with JavaScript or the Web. It was from the beginning designed to run on embedded devices.

You asked if the technology is actually used this way. The answer is, yes, it is (or at least similar abilities are misused in a similar way).

> Not really, if you get into the story it's much less about abusing technology, and much more about abusing FISA courts.

It's about law enforcement having easy access to information that they're not supposed to use unless they have good reason to, and them using the information even when they don't have good reason to.

> I also think that said courts releasing a public reprimand for that behavior is precisely the sort of accountability and transparency you don't get it in authoritarian regimes.

True, though I would have preferred denying those requests in the first place.

> The system isn't working perfectly by any means, but it isn't some techno-fascist hellscape.

Yet.

You seem to be attacking the thesis "these tools can only lead us to techno-fascism". But how about the converse thesis: "When fascism shows up, it will inevitably use these tools. And therefore we should be cautious about building these tools, and allowing the authorities to use them."

> You could remove the technology from the story entirely and it would be the same.

Without the technology, the data would not be (ab)used on anything like the same scale.

Look, I'm not entirely opposed to law enforcement having information available when they need it. But we keep expecting them to only use it when they have legally-recognized good reason, and they keep going well beyond that. We should know by now that there will be too many people in law enforcement who will attempt to abuse the process and subvert the limitations, and we should start thinking seriously about how to prevent that.

Whether "we can't prevent that (well enough)" is grounds for not building the tools at all is a different question, one we are not forced to answer quite yet. We should at least start at "how can we make these (much) harder to abuse".
I'm in the market for a new personal laptop. At work for the past 7 years I've been using ChromeOS devices. At work currently I have an M1 MacBook Pro 16. In the past, I'd been running Linux on x86 essentially since Windows XP.

In reading the current state of things (and seeing how craptastic Windows 11 is on my son's Lenovo X1 Carbon), I actively do not want to buy a Windows machine. There are very few hardware vendors that seem to actually give a crap about providing a high quality product & user experience, and - although I was fanatical about my Thinkpad T40 back in the day - I've become jaded by my Pixelbook that "just works", and now my MacBook.

I don't believe, because only Google & Apple are able to control the whole stack, anyone building Windows-based laptops is actually able of creating the level of quality & polish consumers would like to see. That's said, but not unexpected. Microsoft & Intel should have anticipated this.
Yeah it’s been tough to deal with it. Like I said I find way more pleasure holding and selling apple shares than I do buying their products. I’m fact now I wish they make even more artsy phones lol I won’t use it but they will sell.
Of course it makes sense, if you know anything about that program, or society. If you don’t, well then it doesn’t, hut that seems pretty obvious.
> A better system would take ideas from game engine design and realtime system execution budgets, with cascaded controllers on separate threads with dedicated compute resources for components that need higher update rates.

This is how I've structured a control system, but using a pub/sub system to share data across those boundaries (and log/inspect in general). "Nodes" that share some resource or fundamentally run back to back based on the data flow can live in the same thread. Higher rate components (eg inner loop controller) live in a thread with a much higher priority. All of this is event driven, deterministic, and testable.

If you have more details about the system you're imagining I'd love to learn more, because so far I don't see what's incompatible with what you've described.
Meta’s Research SuperCluster
That private flight every now and then has such extremely negligible emissions compared to a whole industry of much larger planes which fly as much as economically possible.

Can you really not see the difference between these two different usages?
I wouldn't call WinUI 3 a success.

What is new here, is that this is the continuation to make all Win32 apps sandboxed.
> Meanwhile, the SFPD has the lowest rate and biggest decline in arrests per reported crime

SFPD (as well as other Bay Area law enforcement agencies) are hamstrung by the judicial system. From policies that effectively eliminate accountability (thefts below a dollar amount, individuals below an age, etc) to DAs cutting people loose as soon as they are booked so they never even see a day in court.

Think of it this way: If you are a QA engineer working on a video game, and week after week 100% of your bugs get closed as WONTFIX. Are you going to continue finding 10 bugs a day, or will maybe 2 a day get you by?

To be perfectly clear... I believe policing should be hard work. From an investigative perspective they should have to put in the hours and not just get a surveillance state handed to them. But I also recognize that once a potential perpetrator is located, we give them no good options for how to proceed and make our community safer.

Half of student loans are $222/mo or less. I'd also like to mention that if student loans became a lot harder to come by, people like myself could not have afforded college.

Curious how you would do it as a service, interesting idea. It always felt to me like you couldn't do it without the hardware component, because without a box in your home how can you be assured of privacy? The box is where the cert protecting your privacy lives, and it it's in some data center it becomes a "trust us, we won't look at it" situation (and if your threat model involves subpeonas or PRISM type requests you are SOL).

But maybe I'm missing something.

https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector#per-capita-gr...

After electricity and heating transportation is, by a considerable margin, the second largest source of emissions. And as the article points out, on a per capita basis domestic flights and single person car usage are several times more emission heavy than other modes of transport. So this is certainly one of the most important sectors to tackle.

> That "eventually" makes the theory unfalsifiable, but still not entirely useless. We've taken a lot of pains to avoid the fate Marx predicted: social security, medicare, unemployment insurance, WIC, etc.

Whether those steps were to prevent it or not is..disputable. While the exact steps taken in the transitiom from 19th C capitalism to the dominant modern mixed economy weren't exactly the same, a number of them (perhaps unsurprising, since they were in many cases championed by people inspired by Marx) mirror elements of the immediate program Marx lays out for the German Communists in the Communist Manifesto.

Its true that the dominant modern Marxist take is that the transition to the general transition to the modern mixed economy is essentially a liberal salve to keep the working class calm while preserving capitalism, but it can also be viewed as capitalism having reached a point of sufficient stress that it, as predicted, triggered the beginning of the systemic revolution (which may be proceeding slower than Marxists prefer, but if one looks at past revolutions in dominant economic systems, not necessarily unusually slowly.)
5) is not factually true.

One viable alternative, that would not require extra building, is to change how hydro power is used. Instead of running it semi-continuously, run it as the counterpart to solar and wind instead of fossil fuels. So in the day it does nothing, while at night it runs at higher capacity that usual.
I've been on HN almost since its inception and anecdotally over half of the comments on posts like this are from cranks with nothing productive to offer beyond mean-spirited and tone-deaf criticism. There have been posts of projects by young teens that have elicited unusually harsh feedback. Very few people here are willing to charitably acknowledge the effort and vision of a fellow hacker and to provide supportive guidance. They are the epitome of the "akshually" meme.
Getting older makes my reading ability worse, but I can't find "world calculator" on that page, only the US?

Your class is not based on the number in your bank account, but on how you make that money. If you are dependent on an Owner to pay you for your time and labor, you are a worker, regardless of what token "riches" you are paid to believe otherwise.

You don't go from worker to owner until you buy three properties to rent out or start your own business.

No, it definitely invalidates that conclusion
I interview people and ask LC-style questions. It’s not the only part of my interview nor is it a dealbreaker to not get the optimal solution. Being a savant capable of finding a mathematical breakthrough in 30 minutes is not important. But it gives me a chance to see how nimble you are with code which is important.
Given Asahi Linux - there's no situation in which you can compare a dual-celeron to an M1 chip and come out desiring the Celeron unless it's like half the price (tl;dr - it's only $150 cheaper so no).

On the contrary, having a certification not tied to any particular employer (hell, any company could require or prefer X level of that certification) and letting candidates holding that certification skip the grueling, insanely-long hazing ritual they have to go through with every single company they interview at that's in a similar pay-bracket, would tend to do the opposite of wage suppression (versus the current system).

Test once, interview as much as you like for the next, I dunno, two years, no more multi-hour live leetcoding required (the employers shouldn't want to spend money on that, if they just need to make sure you can do it—the certification handles that). Some of the FAANGs already practically publish study guides, so it's not like they're opposed to making the system pretty damn clear and possible to study for. No, it must be that making each interview painful is the point. Else, why would someone who's already passed at two other FAANGs and also the very one they're applying to, a decade ago have to go through it yet again? It's incredibly expensive, and only makes sense if the point is to make sure employees think twice and then thrice about going on the job-hunt again.
Thanks for letting me know. No issues on my end with uBlock and same deal with a few other users I asked to test.

These incremental steps are imperceptible by design. We already live in a dystopia, but most do not perceive what is happening on many fronts.
I had unbearably bad heartburn for years, especially at night, which made it difficult to sleep.

I started avoiding trigger foods like dark chocolate and started front-loading my meals earlier in the day. Still drink lots of coffee.

I now have my final meal about 4.5+ hours before bed, and it's usually small.

My new routine became habit and all symptoms and suffering completely disappeared. And it's not like my body changed, because if I do eat too late, I get bad heartburn like I always have.

Also worth mentioning that I have a very slim build and have a diet high in fiber with minimal processed foods which probably helps too.

This is news to me - got any links?
I had a light-switch moment listening to some conservative or other on a rant about how the left is making up climate change in order to justify government control of business/society. It's the kind of comment that says more about the person making it than those they are accusing. If you loathe the idea of collective action, then an existential problem that requires collective action to solve poses a problem for you, and denial seems to be the simplest route out of any cognitive dissonance.
I don't think anybody expects incorrect code to behave correctly, but as usual the issue is about mistakes. The C compiler can't help you preserve Rust's invariants, so when you make wrong assumptions or declare a wrong interface, instead of a compilation error, you can get UB silently creeping in.

The FFI-glue language they propose is meant to prevent these types of mistakes.
After their superfish debacle [0], I just have not been able to give them my money regardless of how great some of their machines are. Maybe someday.

Ask HN: What issues yet to be solved by the K8s GUI tool you are using?
We are a small team crowdsourcing ideas for our next open-source product for the Kubernetes community.

We would like to know:
* What is your favorite GUI tool for K8s and what are your main use cases?
* How long have you been using K8s?
* What issues do you currently face with K8s that are not yet solved by the tool you are using?

All input is appreciated! Thank you.
That's right--in the U.S., some utilities are "investor-owned." Others are cooperatives (owned by customers) and still others are owned by various local governments.
The Supreme Court has held that anonymous speech is a huge part of the First Amendment as non-anonymous speech has a pretty chilling effect. With a surveillance state you are taking away the 'anonymizing' effect people felt of being in a crowd, that they could speak without being singled out.

Yes because we all know self-reported data from employees on how loyal they are and how bad corporations are is a reliable method to come up with studies that are worth the paper they're written on. Get a grip.
As it currently exists, Airbnb rents lots of houses for 1 or 2 nights that are ideally suited for throwing a large party.

If they don't want to do this, they can always stop. Or maybe demand an adequate damage deposit ... or a longer term lease.

Otherwise, it seems they are at odds with a lot of their customer base.
With that sort of mentality I'm not sure I would want to risk my life with one of their products.
Breaking Down Barriers: JDK 21’s Approach to Beginner-Friendly Java Programming
Circa 2004 I remember realising the novel idea of slowing down a vehicle with an electric generator, rather than disc brakes…

However, I soon discovered that it was known as “regenerative braking” and was being introduced into many modern hybrid vehicles

I still remember the incredible feeling of thinking of an invention that I’d never seen or heard of…
I suppose this means the Carboniferous Period must not have had many insects.
History says that while the idea may have merit, the implementation has been poor, tragic even.
We still all of the work. They can't do it without us. We have tremendous power that we seldom acknowledge.
but this is 'doable' or reproducible; guessing correct numbers by chance is not. Even though there is some luck involved, this is more of a skill than just pure guessing.
People picking through trash beats recyclables going to the landfill. (assuming the trash-pickers don't pull trash out of the can and throw it on the ground in their haste to find recyclables, anyway) So from that perspective, I'm glad someone is doing it.

But on the other hand, it's tragic that people are so desperate for the small sums to be had from recycling that they spend their days digging through other peoples' trash like that.
I'm horrified by the negativity and fatalism in this thread.

Do things seem dire? Yes.

Is this the time to give up? No!

We all already know what needs to be done. What we lack is the political will to do so because 50% of our political leadership has refused to acknowledge any necessary action and instead keeping everyone busy with distractions like threatening trans people and re-banning medical procedures.

There is an appalling lack of focus on the big picture from the percentage of the population that, let's face it, is motivated by religion and nothing else.

We have a rising threat of authoritarian fascism worldwide, and it's NOT in order to save humanity by enacting sweeping societal change to address our warming planet, but is instead to reintroduce hierarchical societal roles based on gender, race, and sexuality, and give those at the top of the food chain another generation of blissful prosperity while the planet burns.

Our ancestors overthrew governments, assassinated leaders, and uprooted whole societies over far less.

I realize a community of technologists and startup enthusiasts benefit from capitalism, but it needs to be asked whether the system that brought so much prosperity to humanity over the last 100 years will be the same that brings us atrocities and gloom in the next 100.

Painful revolution must not be considered off the table.

In Denmark most providers charge you hourly rates.

Here is, for example, the page of my current provider: https://www.ok.dk/privat/produkter/el/priser

This page doesn't yet include the additional costs (last mile...), but there is definitely a big difference whether I consume the energy at cheap or expensive hours.
Correct. This is called "third party doctrine," and the theory is that since you've voluntarily entrusted this data to the third party, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in it and a warrant is not needed.
Sure.
I think that's right - you can be rich and helpful, and rich and unhelpful.

What is happening now seems to be a claim of not being rich at all, which is honestly just weird.
Glad to hear it! I don't enjoy a surprise guest on my body, either, haha. I just have to fight this fight because arachnophobia is often paired with extermination.

Very very few people have that threat model and Helm probably wasn't secure enough to beat the government anyway. The "cloud providers don't look at your data" security model is good enough for people who are just looking for privacy.
