> Will we get better at spotting such things earlier?

perhaps. if the species survives long enough to do so.

reducing the problems to problem or pattern makes it easier.

uphill battle, given how so many of these tempting troubles are the product of or propellant for corporate greed and general power-seeking by individuals.

many of these terribly harmful things are also abso-fucking-lutely dopamine delicious. smokers talk about that first cigarette, sugar eaters think about that one really extra cookie, even recognized as harmful, they can trigger longing.

so though individuals get better at spotting bait, the bait will likely be made tastier.

something bigger needs to change.
Lol, you again.

The BTC ledger is pretty good, but it is fallible —- mostly because a human has to control the keys and the UI apps that make using the wallet for transactions are far less secure than the core BTC protocol. Good luck teaching a 90 year old person who hates computers how to vote using their BTC wallet.

Also, the security of BTC isn’t infallible. Once someone finds a weakness in the system, they will quietly abuse it as a 0-day for a while before anyone notices it. Elections should be robust against any single point of failure, and they are. The BTC wallet is until it isn’t.
At that density, cooling seems like it'd be an issue.

You don't understand how DNS works. The root is controlled by a US organization (not the government, but whatever) and it delegates individual TLDs to other organizations in other jurisdictions.

So if the US government wants to fake (for example) mail.google.cz it needs to:

1. Create a fake .cz record and sign it with the root KSK.
2. Make sure only you see this record (so they must control the network path to you).
3. Create a fake response.

This is technically possible, but highly unlikely. It's also going to be very visible and easily detectable.

If you make enough money that you would be happy "happy" paying an extra $30,000 per year, then you're either a very generous person or an outlier. Most Americans wouldn't want to pay that much extra even if they could afford to.
Yup. I have a disability and any time off I take because I’m sick is time I can’t take to have a vacation.

If I can sit up in a chair, I log in and stay near my computer to attend meetings and answer emails.

Even then, the majority of my time goes to being sick.

I'm using separate browsers in separate VMs for banking, business and personal things. And it's all with a great UX on Qubes OS.
What kind of novel UX are you imagining?
I don't have numbers at hand at the moment, but the expectation is that its background rate is effectively zero in the absence of viral illness (COVID or otherwise), and presumably VRM is still lower compared to COVID-induced cardiac events.

However, the latter point doesn't make this finding trivial; there was considerable debate during the pandemic, whether people who had recently contracted COVID (and thus had natural immunity already) should have the vaccine as scheduled anyway, on account of it "being harmless", with early evidence of VRM dismissed as conspiracy theories and fearmongering. I recall many people who declined the vaccine on that premise and were still labelled "antivaxxers" on that basis (which I thought was rather sad at the time).

Furthermore, in many countries this policy was further enforced via "vaccine passports", meaning people with natural immunity still had to vaccinate regardless, in order to be able to go outside and conduct their business as normal, effectively putting people at unnecessary risk purely for the sake of administrative convenience.

Therefore this is a clinically significant finding in my view. Not sure why the article got flagged so quickly on HN...

Well I used telnet before ssh was even a thing. It wasn't that weird back then and most internet systems were multi user where the common man didn't have root permissions. Thus so sniffing rights.

In those days we also still used 10base2 so there wasn't even a switch involved. Every system could see each other's traffic. X terminals didn't have xauth in the beginning so anyone could connect to your terminal and screen grab or pop up pictures (something I did regularly for practical jokes)

On the one hand it's kinda crazy not many bad things happened back then. On the other, not too much important stuff was online in those days. And only a handful knew how it worked.

But yeah telnet and rlogin (authentication simply by having the right IP!!) were the tool for the job for many years believe it or not.

Interesting result.
Will we see other companies sue cities for the results of disastrous social policies in the future? It's certainly a target-rich environment.

Or is this a unique situation unlikely to be repeated? Was this settled to avoid a legal precedent that could be used by other victims of half-baked social experimentation?
Ok, that brought memories. Now back to the future and a post about Gopher.

I’m genuinely interested to hear any views from HN’s admins around traffic observations, and what their plans might be to maintain the current level of sanity with respect to post and comment quality.
If Hungary can have a significantly high degree of pro-government bias in its privately owned media to justify calling that media “state-affiliated”, why can’t the United States? What makes the label justifiable for a greater degree of the same kind not a lesser? Opinions differ on how great the difference in degree is.

"Known binary agents include the following: GB binary (sarin, GB2): DF is located in 1 canister, while OPA is in a second canister.

Why telnet, if you have `$ echo foo >/dev/tcp/localhost/8080`-
I can tell from direct experience that most - if not all - individual contributors (from junior to senior+) at nearly ALL major solution providers are frantically searching on Stack Overflow and GitHub every day to solve the problem at hand, and most likely recently even switched to tools like Copilot just to keep up.

Because most if not all people at the managerial level (or up) don't give a shit about how much knowledge at hand you have, as long as you are able to hit the agreed milestones, so that the project gets delivered on time and they get their bonuses.

Hell, most of them don't even give a shit how terrible the delivered codebase looks, especially if the poor customer decided not to sign a (very expensive) support contract.

In other words: Don't be so hard on yourself.

To me Tech is all about being curious, learning new things while coding and designing, being the best you can, and having fun while making worthwhile stuff.

If you don't feel like you have that particular mindset, maybe its time to explore what is fun and worthwhile for you
Unfortunately, it depends on a lot of factors.

The questions you’ve raised above are the right ones, but there are more, and given the various Pro-cons, unfortunately it’s hard to give any advice without knowing specifics.

How big is the market? Will those who adopt the open source version ever be your customers or will open sourcing it actually expand the market? And so on ..

Either ways make sure the license you use, if you open source, is the right one and doesn’t allow a potential competitor to fork and build their own version.
Absolutely, please do mention if you’re self promoting. Otherwise, get lost?
IMO, support for more rich comment formatting would be very beneficial.

Funny that of all things they take letters of recommendation as an example of a genre with implicit information that will be upset by AI-aided writing. In academia it's common knowledge that such letters are written by the recommendee and then signed by the recommender after at most light editing. The signal is already "this guy we trust thinks this person is the real deal" and the content is irrelevant.

Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem were eating at a Denny's one night - because it's literally the only place open at 10 pm in the Bay Area - when Jensen bit onto a piece of silica sand that had made it into his Grand Slam Breakfast and very painfully chipped his tooth.

His yelled "GPUUUUUUUU" in pain, and NVIDIA was born. Instead of a bill, the waiter brought them the prefilled incorporation documents and on the way out the door, the hostess handed them their seed round.
I mean, to some extent, there's absolutely causation.

Lower pay means you may not be able to afford a car. If the public transport in your area is lousy, you'll be late more often.

Lower pay means if you can afford a car, it's more likely to be an old beater, and if it breaks down, and you're not 110% prepared to switch to public transport on a moment's notice, you'll be late or miss work.

Lower pay means a worse living situation. You're more likely to be in an old building, with a crappy landlord, who may not care about the asbestos in the ceiling, or the black mold in the walls, or the bedbugs, and then you're more likely to get sick.

Lower pay means you can't afford good food, which means you're more likely to get sick.

Lower pay means you can't afford regular doctor visits (especially since you're also much less likely to have any sick time—paid or not—in which to go to those visits), which means you're more likely to get sick.

Lower pay makes it much more likely that you're in a high-stress job—one where you're expected to jump for superiors and customers at a moment's notice, and be punished for trying to act like a human being—which means you're more likely to get sick.

Lower pay means you're more likely to be working multiple jobs, and thus getting too little sleep. That makes it more likely that you'll oversleep sometimes and miss your alarm, and be late or miss work.

I daresay I could go on...

This sounds like an "electroactive polymer." there are some squishy tapes made by 3m that incidentally have this property out of the box. Make a spot of conductive carbon paint on each side, apply a few kV, and watch the spots double in area as the electrostatic forces squish the material.
They’ve chosen not to raise prices in a parts shortage and are calling it a virtue. Meanwhile the common advice is to buy them off of eBay at elevated prices. Essentially scalping.

You can pay suppliers preferential prices for preferential treatment. That has been Apple’s MO for a decade and a half.

Raise your prices until demand just starts to taper. Use the money to butter up suppliers (place bigger orders, pay cash on delivery, in advance, whatever). Get it done, stop patting yourself on the back for five years running for not being able to keep up with demand.
But that is exactly the point: in the world we are in right now, I DON'T have to trust the TLD operator to make sure my services are secure. Sure, there is a risk that the TLD operator will shut down my domain completely, but that is a different risk from the TLD operator MitM-ing my services.

If my CA misbehaves? I can use a different CA. Not trivial, but doable. What if my TLD operator misbehaves or TLD changes ownership (like the .org case a few years ago) - change my domain?

> It's never worked that way.

Yes, it has. When the FDA was formed in 1906, it didn’t write memos to notify buyers about the state of the meat-packing industry, it banned them. When thalidomide was found to cause birth defects, it was banned.

When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the result was not just a letter written to customers of specific banks. It brought specific changes on how banks may legally operate.

Lol, a "we're so high and mighty the other guy's a lost cause" response here on HN. Feels like I'm on Instagram.

Dude, you literally cannot refute the fact that Lula is a communist. His own words say so. His own actions say so. Don't bullshit me about "red-scare tactics" when you have exactly zero arguments. If you don't think these people being communists is a problem, you should educate yourself on the massive damage, misery and loss of life they caused in any country where they achieved power. I'd rather be ruled by literal nazis.

Also I couldn't care less about Bolsonaro. He's irrelevant now, forget about him. I criticized him a lot during his mandate, especially his needlessly inept handling of the pandemic but I do prefer him over literal communists any day. That about sums up my opinion of that guy.

> Compared to productivity software, sure, but cycle-for-cycle, [...] they had to find ways to trick

That's true, but I think the idea was more that other software has not only been mostly stagnant (that, too), but often actually regressing in performance. Games on the other hand have been steadily improving. Maybe not keeping up the full pace, as the mathematical and hardware tricks became unnecessary and were traded in for ease of development, but game developers at least overall did make use of the better hardware. They stopped doing the super clever stuff when it was just not necessary anymore while still providing better fidelity.

> Doesn't sound like gaming to me.

Eh, it's part of it. And it's not like other aspects did not profit from the better hardware as well. Later Civilization titles are pretty compute-intensive between turns, for more complex gameplay. Earlier chess programs had to "think" a very long time for not that great chess performance...

A search also lets you do it with agency, transparency, and skepticism. You can evaluate the trustworthiness of a source given its actual context rather than blindly accept the first opaque answer you're given.

Our practice of judgment and strategy in learning and finding answers is critical. We're not encyclopedias.

The opposite could also be true. With AI generating a skeleton, more thought can be given to what you want to say instead of the individual words.

"Is/Are All You Need Considered Harmful"
Personally, I found "Writing an Interpreter in Go" better than "Crafting Interpreters". It has a follow-up book titled "Writing a Compiler in Go", which (similar to Crafting Interpreter's second half) implements a virtual machine. The books take a lot of inspiration from Crafting Interpreters.

If this sounds at all appealing to you, I would check it out. I found Monkey so far somewhat more compelling than Lox (might be personal preference, though), and I thought the exposition (and code quality) was overall better. Go is also very easy to pick up.

The US federal government is not like other national governments. Any powers not enumerated in the condition rest with the state governments. As an example, murder is generally not a crime under federal law [0] despite generally being considered Bad.

Over the years, for better and worse, the interpretation of what powers the federal government are given had expanded dramatically. Even so, compelling paid sick leave at the federal level would need to rely on the interstate commerce clause.

I'm all for paid sick leave, personally, but doing it in a way that actually passes conditional muster and isn't overturned by a court isn't as easy as saying "this is a good thing, why don't we do it?"
