The mention of Arc really dates it. I'm disappointed that pg moved on from it so quickly, there was a lot of hype around Arc during its conception but now I rarely hear about it even though I follow everything Lisp-related obsessively.

Good point. I find that view to be far more useful than any other, though I'm never sure if that's my video game bias showing or not.
Except you can?

Have you never taken personal notes on a piece of paper near your desk only to notice that you wrote down some work information on it elsewhere?

Granted TFA is not about an accident but you can accidentally take documents home just like you can accidentally walk into a SCIF with a wireless microphone (your cellphone).
Perhaps tangential to this project, but I have always wanted something that can detect different instruments/sounds and allow me to adjust the volume on them/remix them.

There are a few songs I love, but some of the best parts seem to be "buried" under other instruments.

What do you mean 'huge proportion of people suffer from'?

Frankly this sort of talk reminds me of typical incel rhetoric - overly focused on perceived deficiencies to the point of disconnect with reality. In other words I don't imagine the market you imagine exists.

Caveat; yeah if that kind of body mod became as simple as dying your hair I wouldn't be surprised. But just screwing with your bones to squeeze out a few inches? Most people just wear boots; same effect, zero potential to accidentally cripple yourself.
It is an ad, but it's also an announcement with information that many hners will be interested in and enjoy discussing. There are links to tools and blog posts on the topic as well as links to the advertised product. I don't think it's out of place here.
There's a huge need for real investigative journalism into corruption like this. Kudos to the plaintiffs for exposing the grift.

recreation.gov has some benefits – they've improved usability. The fees are punitive and obscure. Also there's lots of corruption and scalping on the site that they are not taking responsibility for.
It's easy to blame the drivers, but in the era of the smartphone, I suspect that there's a massive decrease in the ability of pedestrians to actually look where they're going...
When I was a "kid" I worked 70 hour weeks making video games. It was a blast. If I was young again, I'd go work for pennies at SpaceX. It would be a similarly stupid decision, but I don't make good life decisions.

"He was right, dead right, but just as dead as if he had been dead wrong."

Outside of HN, in real life safety is a responsibility of everyone. You are careful when you drive, careful when you walk. You don't text while driving, you don't text while crossing the street. Everyone stays safer.
I am not a fan of people needlessly dying. I guess I don't understand why automotive deaths are such a focus on internet boards. I am guessing because there's desire to push public sentiment towards self-driving vehicles? Self-driving vehicles would be interesting to implement/have regardless of anti-car/anti-human driving agendas; the demise of one does not necessitate the acceptance of the other.

Or if we care so much about people dying in some manner, then why not focus on preventable deaths from falls, or accidental poisonings, or other reasons? If the idea is to prevent unnecessary, accidental death then it makes sense to sort the data based on numbers of deaths caused annually by category. Otherwise the pearl cluthing is just that, inauthentic and disingenuous.

Especially in cities which don't have "vibrant" downtowns; the downtowns full of Subways and McDonalds that close up at 5PM, leaving a desolate urban landscape reminiscent of zombie movies.

What's going to happen to cities with downtowns that are nothing more than a collection of office buildings and the businesses that support the people who work there?
it's not just an issue of what "I" want, it's an issue of what the GPL is intended to do. If it doesn't result in the four freedoms, but the GPL allows it, then the GPL has failed to do what it was designed to do.

From the text of the GPL itself:

> Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

RedHat is trying to sell software that is licensed under the GPL -- which has to be, because the base of it was written by others and the only reason RedHat is even allowed to use it or sell it is under the GPL -- and try to prevent users from having the freedom to re-distribute the GPL software they received, with or without their own modifications.

They are trying to subvert the GPL. They know they are. That's why they have all this language where they say they aren't intending to limit your rights under the GPL -- it's just that they'll refuse to have you as a customer if you exersize them, that's all.

Whether it is legal or not is a question for laywers. If it's legal, and it succesfully prevents users from redistributing GPL RedHat, then it's an accidental loophole, and has subverted the GPL's intent and design, as stated in the GPL itslef.
> But that the GPL lets you take GPL software, add your own features on top, sell it, and tell customers that if they redistribute it themselves (as the GPL explicitly allows), you will refuse to sell them software in the future ever again? Nope nope nope. I think it's not entirely clear if the GPL allows that or not, but if it does, it seems pretty clear to me that it's inadvertant, and not what the GPL was intended to do.

Does "Nope nope nope" answer the first question with "no", but then the "I think it's not entirely clear if the GPL allows that or not" answer it with "maybe"? Or was the "nope" think just a wish? I believe the GPL is silent on that. You might be right that this would be an inadvertent loophole, but as you know, it's not trivial to fix this sort of problem.

> does the essential core of crypto boil down to having a public trust ledger?

A blockchain is a public trust ledger that is uncensorable because everyone who wants to can get both a copy of a random sampling of the messages pushed to it (by p2p node gossip of the txpool) and then also a copy of the canonical state (by p2p gossip of the chain-head; the ability of nodes to fetch previous blocks by content-hash; and the ability of all nodes to independently compute block validity and canonicity.) But this uncensorability means that blockchains must solve for the problem of DoS spam attacks, that would seek to fill the chain with noise messages, to the point that it bloats to an impractical-to-store size.

That's why blockchains [that have distributed posting authority, rather than being de-facto centralized "Proof of Authority" systems] always "have" (but not "are") some form of digital money built into them. The digital money is there to be what the old proposals for eliminating email spam called an "eStamp" — a cost for posting your signed messages/transactions that regular users can afford to pay, but spammers cannot.

Without the "eStamps", you just have an unworkable, ever-growing pool of spam noise.

If you choose to eliminate the noise by only keeping the messages that nodes care about store-and-forwarding (such that you lose messages when their originator goes offline, unless at least one other node has accessed them), then rather than a blockchain, you get a system like Freenet.

If you choose to eliminate the noise by combining store-and-forward with TTLs, with push-based probabilistic gossip, then you get the original Usenet numbers groups and SMTP anonymous remailers that presaged blockchains, and were invented by roughly the same group of people (the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk s), being used to anonymously distribute PGP-signed and encrypted payloads in much the same way that blockchains are currently used to anonymously distribute transactions.

> Couldn't a bad actor repair a broken RAM chip with their own parts and it would still be officially signed?

No, because the point is that you get to know who sold them the RAM chips that went into the device, because the RAM chip vendor digitally signed the sale of those chips to them, and their repair job "consumes" that item in their own digital inventory to convert one manifest (representing all the parts in a phone with bad RAM) into another manifest (representing all the parts in a phone with good RAM.) The provenance of the replaced RAM chips "travels within" the provenance of the repaired phone. It's a tree of component sourcing, not just a log of repairs.
> Imagine if we had a similar system for the departments of motor vehicles... pay 20% more but get it all done in minutes online instead of hours at the local office.

The counties here have provided that for at least 30 years and without any 3rd party or paid priority for the non-poor.
> 3) Serial trust ("3-exits", "former CEO/CTO/VP of..."), and

Serial trust is especially interesting for me.

Someone could have founded 3 companies that weren't good investments (possibly all lost money), and VCs will throw money at that person before they try someone new.

Transitive trust is also interesting. The majority of "rockstar VCs" made one good investment. Not really possible to rule out luck... And the majority of the people there now had nothing to due with that decision way back when.
Not sure why you would be insulting on it? My understanding was that it works really well; as does IEEE floating numbers, all told. Understanding the constraints and reasoning behind things goes a long way.
Beware of wrong via hallucination is all I want to say. Unlearning is 10x the mental work of learning.
You can say that about every information system. Even when it comes to our personal health information, nobody throws up their hands and exclaims, “keeping data safe is an intractable problem, we should abandon the whole idea.” You could make the same argument about porn sites themselves. They can’t possibly be trusted to safeguard users’ viewing habits, so we ought to shut them down. Then the state has no such information to track anyway. Win win.
Sometime I'd like to see a court rule on the SEC's theory that a token airdropped to people who made no actual financial investment nevertheless passes the "investment of money" clause of the Howey test.
Modularity and separation of concerns, in hardware.

Historically, you wanted your PIC or 8051 to be in complete control of the system. You built the core of your RTOS around some well-understood central processor, but farmed out tasks like converting text display over an SPI-like interface to modulating a 16x2 character LCD, or decoding your UART into USB serial to an FTDI chip, or decoding MP3 bitstreams into I2S or raw DAC signals, or what have you. SOCs added on-chip peripherals for some functions, but a lot of stuff was off-chip like in this Arduino.

You wouldn't run code on an FTDI chip, that's an inversion of the architecture, and back in the day that was an ASIC that did nothing but covert RS232 into USB packets so there was no way to run code on it.

The ESP32 is what it is because decoding 802.11 RF signals and running a TCP/IP stack is now a task not for an ASIC but a generic microcontroller that's fast enough to do those tasks in software. The processor is so much more powerful than the ancient Atmel Atmega328 in an Arduino Duemilanove that had 32 KB Flash and 2 KB SRAM on an 8-bit bus at up to a whopping 20 MHz that it seems ridiculous to do anything at all with such a 'master' processor.
I always felt the same about toll booth collectors. Sitting in exhaust fumes for 8 hours must have been terrible.

Don't forget how it was basically invented in the '80s so you're just poorly reimplementing what was done before you.
“ I think you're on to something with your observations...”

The parent described 4 of the common heuristics of how we develop trust.

I work in cybersecurity, so I tend to mentally put a “how could these heuristics be abused to get a well intentioned employee/customer to misplace their trust in a scammer?” scenario.

When it comes to society, I have been trying to empathize with those poor souls who fell for QAnon, Stop the Steal, Flat Eartherism, and dozens of other farcical claims that millions of people have adopted, despite some of those people being extremely bright.

Your parent is not really “onto something”; they are just enumerating a few heuristics that marketers, salespeople, people of influence, scammers/conmen have known for millennia.
But might this physical stretching then also allow room temperature superconductors, if not why not?
Seriously this.

If we assume that people are flawed and will fuck up and make random deadly mistakes, one of the most effective ways to make the deaths go down is to remove the cars from the road.

You might have the same mistake rate, but the total amount of cars going down will mean the deaths drop.
There's a thing some people seem to be unable to understand, and it's that... coming after bad things can be good, actually.

The thing about the "first they came" poem is that attacking the socialists, trade unionists and jews is already bad. There's a reason it doesn't start with "first they came for the murderers, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a murderer".

The poem urges us to stand up against injustice even if it doesn't affect us directly. The poem doesn't argue that all slopes are slippery.

Atom wasn’t being used in podcasting because it wasn’t supported by key podcasting platforms! I know from my research of multiple entities that tried to use Atom (since it’s obviously and unambiguously superior), particularly because of some things that claimed Atom was supported, but gave up because it turned out that even most of the platform things that claimed support didn’t actually support it, either at all or fully. As for things like JSON Feed, that’s never been a serious contender.

This Apple Podcasts update saying “we no longer support Atom” genuinely surprises me, because when I looked a couple of years ago, as far as I could tell as an outsider with no access to any of their software, they didn’t support Atom, and never had.

I’m not certain what you’re referring to as “the podcasting industry and standards bodies”, since I haven’t been paying attention to the space (a couple of years back it seemed a bleak wilderness). If it’s things like https://podstandards.org/, well, “Apple has created some thoughtful vendor-specific extensions to the RSS standard”… bleh. I cannot understand how anyone could have anything but scorn for the mess that is podcasting RSS. It’s shamefully bad, and the paragraphs there are rather baffling to me in their untempered praise for Apple and condemnation of (unspecified) others. As for their standard, they’re explicitly standards-washing certain Apple interests (though I will admit that most of the iTunes namespace stuff is generally useful), adding stuff that has no place in a “required standard” (funding!? And what happened to the <link rel> mechanism for some of that stuff, which would obviously be appropriate? There really looks to be a lot of poorly-thought out stuff in this).
Many enterprise apps are distributed as binary release that compatible with RHEL, and people want to run them without using RHEL, especially in situations when it doesn't make sense to purchase RHEL licenses.

Our modern cities are clearly not economically viable (proof of that is that people can't afford to live in them)

No, that's not sufficient proof. You'd need unaffordability, and high rates of rental vacancies to prove that. Most of the unaffordable cities have near-zero vacancy rates.

"That place is too crowded now, nobody goes there anymore."
There’s a growing sense of anger in literally almost everyone I know.

Somewhere on the way, people have become more misanthropic, close-minded, and angry. I’m not sure why.

I think it is social media and the enshittification of all these services? Also, the rise of authoritarianism in America and abroad may contribute to this? Regardless, more and more I see people living in a fantasy world where people both “suck immeasurably” and (strangely) have no freewill or agency and are just meat robots.

I think these two things together are really pernicious.

The Pitfalls of Using LLMs in Customer Service Chatbots
The point I was trying to make is that, after a threshold is reached, one would reasonably assume that these individuals would have their licenses revoked or, at least, be forced to drive in an automobile factory-locked to not be able to travel faster than e.g., 70mph.

The lawyers involved don't stop these individuals from having to pay fines. They can afford the fines and the lawyers.

The lawyers are there to keep the licenses intact. "But Mr. X needs his license in order to get to work at his important job for Corporation Y!"

Financial deterrents don't work well in places with high median incomes like Maryland.
My favourite kind of bullshitting is this. Ie. when you mix plausible lies with definite lies and the truth, messing with the brain.

Like how cereal was invented by a joint US Army/Navy programme to invent a resilient, easily transportable, high nutrient non-perishable food product for wartime use on ships and in the trenches. The programme of course being run by Admiral Kellogg and General Mills.
I filed a criminal complaint with the Arizona Attorney General's office on April 14th. After 2 months I emailed a supplement. They emailed me back with a 'copy' of a letter, dated April 14th, responding to my complaint. I have most of my USPS informed delivery emails from that period, indicating they never mailed this letter. (There's a gap ~10 days after April 14 - maybe I didn't get any mail that day, maybe I deleted it.)

All I want is a public response from the Arizona Attorney General regarding Arizona's system of #MedicalAssault for those who have substance abuse problems. I haven't gotten any engagement from anyone on the twitter, so I figured the check (& advertising) might be helpful.
Worth reading to answer these questions. Alarm was not defective. Repairs were delayed and this happened while waiting for a repair. It wasn't expected that samples would be damaged due to a slightly dropped temperature for 1 week. Most major flaw here was a lack of functional safety/training to avoid this sort of situation.

Nothing, really? I've been following "popular" and it's all low quality rage bate and reposts. New stories are molasses slow in showing up, the same stories will be there the next day or even the day after rather than a few hours. The subs I follow are mostly ghost towns.

Delivery can be especially bad because the drivers have a direct incentive to dash from customer to customer. Maximizing their revenue takes precedence ūber (over) driving safely. This is nothing new. Dominos had to cancel their 30 min or its free guarantee because drivers were running red lights.
Could it be that equality is not the just nor fair answer?

A big silence in terms of women’s equality is found in the most drastic case in fields like the military, where even though women have been allowed and encouraged via advertisement, is still overwhelmingly male worldwide. It’s obvious that women’s bodies are not the same as men’s bodies in general… so why would we aim for full equality (aka identicalness) given these basic facts that men are not like women?

Also see pay and work: the more time a woman spends at her job is less time with her kids, which directly impacts society in many unfortunate ways, especially since men are still often the breadwinners, and even sociobiologically, the role of motherhood cannot equal fatherhood. So is work pay more about capitalism & lowering wages or more about a nebulous sense of empowerment?

In terms of assault and harassment: there is also the general culture on both genders of situations that encourage this. For example, things like clubbing, heavy drinking, proximity with strangers, hookup culture, a culture focused on individualism and bringing attention to oneself in terms of clothing, behavior, etc… all of these are factors.

Perhaps to obtain the outcomes people wish to see, “equality” is not the answer.

Not in my experience. It has more to do with funding. We have a specific tax levied just for transit, and people don't vote to increase it.
At $27 I can get 4-5 Pi Pico Ws. Between that and the ESP32 product line this isn't really competitive.
