"Never fish in the Rubicon", Auron McIntyre [0], sums it up pretty well. Bolsonaro did not have the guts or the military support to go after his enemy, which of course has not such qualms.

The US has its own analogy: FBI interference with the Hunter Biden investigation, as documented by the IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, while heavily prosecuting Trump. You don't need to be a MAGA flag waving GOPer to see there is some imbalance there.

To recap the non-exhaustive list of what went down with the DOJ:

- Tipped off Hunter Biden's legal team about a search warrant on his storage unit

- Prevented investigators from executing a search warrant on his house

- Ordered a "cease and desist" on investigating Hunter during the 2020 election

- Prevented investigators from asking questions about the "big guy"

- Verified his laptop was real in 2019 and then went to Big Tech and told them to censor it during the election

- And didn't even have the key witness in the case testify before the grand jury.

This is simply how it works, not just in Brazil. The deep state isn't neutral, how could it be?

This is one of the biggest scandals nobody is talking about.

Any talk about privacy awareness is invalidated when public sector entities endorse these platforms and encourage citizens to participate.

Any talk about the public sector not picking winners is a joke when they explicitly advertise and provide links on their websites to particular platforms.

I mostly went with Java because it's what I knew best, and I thought was likely to be "fast enough" for the market I was in. I'm sure Go would be similar in this case but didn't want to have to take the time to learn it.

I do think that if Java can deliver on the combination of the foreign function/memory interface and value types, it might really start to look competitive for certain strategies which are just a bit too complex for the "do everything in the network card" approach. When the Aeron guys first implemented their protocols in Java, C#, and C++, C# was actually the fastest, which they attributed to the presence of both the optimizing runtime and value types.
Is SWAT really needed for that though? Is not "the police" enough?
Can you not have both? Each federated instance costs money to upkeep. Some instances could elect for collective ownership or even elect to donate for develop (probably this needs to be carefully considered to deter corporate ownership). I like your idea but I think there needs to be an interim step and for now, maybe that's federation. Maybe we'll get to the place you speak of... one day.

When NFTs were hot, we made one that was intentionally tasteless thinking that it could raise awareness for people to donate to effective charities (pretending it was NFTs for needy children, but actually the proceeds from NFTs would go to the Against Malaria Foundation), but never could really get the whole thing right so decided not to launch it.

If anyone has an idea to actually execute that original idea right and do some good net net, here's the website: https://nftsforstarvingchildren.com/
It does make sense, your language can target C or LLVM. each option comes with pros and cons e.g: C is more familiar, LLVM has better support for JIT compilation.

According to the Wikipedia page using this illustration, there is no maximum size to PDF documents, not even to single-page ones.

It (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format#Umfan...) says:

“PDF-Dokumente können mehrere hunderttausend Seiten umfassen. Dabei ist die Seitengröße durch das Format selbst nicht begrenzt. In Adobe Acrobat gibt es jedoch durch die Implementierung bedingte Grenzen”

Translation: PDF documents can contain hundreds of thousands of pages. The format does not limit page size. Adobe Acrobat has implementation limits, though.

One side will claim the trial was unfair or overreaching or political. The other will claim that the judicial system did work as expected and followed the rules it set forth well before the 2022 elections began.

I have my own take, but then again it is heavily influenced by my own bias. It's hard to share an unbiased opinion here.

The idea that Lula is using his political power to take Bolsonaro out of the game is laughable, IMO.
Yeah the dollar values here are a distraction. I use copilot everyday at my Data Science job. Its useful!

What we are not considering is integrating a custom trained LLM into our work because the tech just isn’t there yet.
I'm pretty sure all the manufacturers have this problem pretty much equally, at least on their "normal" controllers. Nintendo worse probably just due to the very constrained available size.

You see users of all the consoles anecdotally reporting drift problems. I haven't experienced personally any drift on my PS4 or PS5 controllers, nor an Xbox controller used for a PC. I did have it happen pretty significantly on a Switch Lite.

I also think there's probably an aspect of personal usage patterns: maybe if you're just going through sticks constantly, you apply more pressure, or just use them more, or have something like a dusty environment wearing them out faster.

Everyone wants to pay for US labor until the final price tag appears.
It varies a lot depending on studios

Big AAA studios can pay pretty decent (could still get more if I moved to tech though)

I also work on a live service game so we have a couple releases a year rather than one giant release which I think helps a lot with WLB since the scope/estimation is more predictable

Also I've only ever had graphics roles, not sure if pay is different for stuff like gameplay programming which seems to be the thing everyone entering the industry wants to do
Did Java get lucky? I thought it was out with maven and in with gradle--though it's been several years since I've been in that world.

It's just kind of awkward how they all do the same thing in slightly different ways. But not meaningfully different.

They all have some kind of lock file, and they all have some kind of cache that you have to handle specially if you don't want to download the universe in CI, and they all let you specify version restrictions but each uses different files to store these things, terminology to describe them, and uses a different configuration language for you to express them.

Learning languanges would be so much fun if I didn't have to learn a new package manager each time.
But did the average person who was told their debt was going to be forgiven know that? I'm okay with arguing about the details of how much blame to place on the administration versus the regressives in the court, but dismissing out of hand the human suffering caused by the reversal by going "they should have known better" is patently evil.
Those job postings are part of the "labor market test" that is a pre-requisite for applying for an employment based greencard. The intent is to ensure there are no able and willing Americans able to do the job that the immigrant is applying for their green card based on. In practice, they are often set up by immigration lawyers to be mostly a formality, and there is little chance of being offered a job that is advertised as part of it.
No, I don't think that's correct, either by the text or spirit.

This isn't about user reviews, it's about editorial reviews where it is the website/organization itself that is doing the reviews. Think Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, and so forth (although those are fine).

Basically when you search Google for reviews on e.g. an air purifier, you'll find a bunch of sites called things like "air-purifier-reviews.com" that seem to be a legitimate review site/blog at first glance (like Wirecutter), but are just a fake site created by the company whose products are recommended.

Amazon and Walmart with their product listings and user reviews aren't anything like this. User reviews even for Amazon-branded products would continue just fine, although another rule indicates that Amazon couldn't selectively remove negative reviews for their own products (not that there's evidence they have, since there are plenty of terribly-rated ones alongside the good ones).

It's also clear that Amazon wouldn't be able to e.g. create its own Wirecutter or Consumer Reports equivalent as long as it continued its own brands. And it probably means that Amazon wouldn't be able to continue its "Amazon editorial recommendations" which is a row that used to pop up in search results, but that they removed a couple of months ago [1].

I'm fine with whatever. I'm getting to the point where I wish I was liquidated or vaporized in 2018. Shut off the power, tell me I have to live in the woods, take away my car, starve me. Wait. That's what is going to happen anyway. Yeah, they should have just done that to me in 2018. I'm sick of everything. With every key press I type entering this note into this stupid internet guestbook masquerading as a temple for a piss poor religion reminds me of everything that big tech has taken from me. All of my productive years. Nothing to show for it really because all of the work was based around malinvestment and captained by well heeled idiots. The scale of what was stolen from the best minds of my generation. Instead of building facebook.... you know... we might have been able to get ahead of this. But you know. Whatever. Boil me yesterday.
I'd argue it's a terrible work machine for "most jobs" because it's grossly over priced for them. Dirt cheap laptops and tablets can do email and documents. A tablet starting at $799 that's been touted for it's performance should not have "can do most jobs" as some sort of feather in it's cap. It's entirely justified to expect more from a device with this price and power.
This is the actual amount stuff costs when not using babies to assemble.

> What does LLVM have that can not be achieved 1 to 1 in C?

Do you want to have signed integer overflow not be undefined behavior? Sorry, you can't do that in C. Do you want to support SIMD vector types? Oops, no support in C. Underaligned memory accesses? Packed structures? Support for handling unwind structures? Coroutines?

> It feels to me like C should be superior to LLVM and allow to do anything that is possible to do with LLVM, but maybe I'm wrong?

Very much the inverse: as LLVM is used to implement a C compiler, LLVM can faithfully reproduce all of the C semantics, but C cannot be used to implement all of the LLVM features. Even if you pretend C doesn't have undefined behavior, and even if you include compiler extensions as part of C, there are still a few LLVM instructions and intrinsics that just don't exist in C (chief among them is invoke, which is used to implement C++ exception handling).

If you're wondering why it's so expensive, it's a confluence of factors:

- Making things in the us is expensive. This isn't the root cause but leads to the next point...

- Phones are low margin devices. Most consumers are intensely price sensitive. Even if a US-made phone cost only $40 more, it'd still be at a serious disadvantage.

- Therefore, there's no point in competing on price. The batch size of this is limited. Manufacturing has limited advantage of scale. They need to find another hook for value-add.

- And thus, a huge part of the value add of this device is that it's certified "secure", and with a traceable supply chain.

They will probably sell a reasonable amount of these, to interested parties, but this is not likely to be a profit center for them. It's as much as a real attempt at achieving their goals, as it is marketing that furthers their "privacy/integrity" branding goals. Marketing with a real and good product behind it is a great move if you can pull it off, and they seem to be doing a great job!

As an amusing aside, you can search for "username twitter" for many of the people posting here on hn.algolia.com and get a sequence of "I don't use Twitter" then "This Twitter account is decent" in a short span of time which makes me suspect many of these claims are not true.

For my part, this is an annoyance since I use nitter's API to feed Tweets to a Slack I share with friends.
Sure, but I wouldn't consider it reward hacking if we knowingly gave it the goal of maximizing papercips and it did this. Maybe I'm being pedantic, but that would be a pretty clear due diligence failure on the prompter's fault.
For the voters.

If Bolsonaro had not made fun of covid victims and needlessly spilled hate on every other word that came from his mouth, he'd be the current president of Brazil.

A moderate right wing candidate will likely win for 2026, just like an hypothetical moderate Bolsonaro would have won last year.
I work at an HFT firm. Most fun I've ever had.
How about caning. It might seem foreign and extreme, but it works. A fine is just a cost of doing business. Even prison time would usually be spent at a minimum security prison perhaps even with work release. Barely a punishment.

Those are just slaps on the wrist. You know what’s not a slap on the wrist? Caning. Caning would force these scammers to rethink their lives. It is used in Singapore as a punishment, a country widely seen as one of the least corrupt on the planet.

I mean, this is all company bylaws, you can't seriously legislate this. But in any case, C-execs do have skin in the game (particularly if investigated by the SEC). They're usually insulated, but if non-compliant (or grossly negligent), directors can be personally liable.
Exactly! I almost added that to my reply above.

To make the above situation even trickier, let's say the homeowners had a landline for years, but just recently switched to a VoIP gateway. Their VoIP gateway operator advertised a feature that their outgoing caller ID will make it look like they're calling from their old number. This is a real and desirable feature for lots of people. I'd rather not have police disregard all calls from VoIP gateways.

But to GP's point, of course what we really need is a genuine verifiable caller ID. Or at least some sort of verification that's instantly available to 911 operators. In this case, the VoIP provider should be able to assert that the call really is coming from that address in a way no one else can spoof.
Assembled, sure. I can promise you the chips are not being made in the US.

I feel the same. Had 4 twitter accounts I followed on nitter after losing my account, and now, not sure. Feels like a time of (light) mourning.
> There was never any agreement, because a suggestion of even such agreement is anachronistic garbage.

That’s fine. You either lack reading comprehension (see previous replies) or judge the material to be “not an agreement”.

And that’s okay. Because you don’t contest—or if you are you are failing at it—the claim that verbal statements about NATO non-expansion[1] were made by the Western representatives in the general direction of the Soviet representatives. Which was the claim that I have been proving ever since the first reply[2] to my comment.

For those thinking "you can do that in any language, just teach a subset of the language": no you can't! The Beginning Student Language (BSL) and Intermediate Student Language (ISL) are subsets of Racket in the sense that you can take any BSL or ISL program and run it in Racket and get the same result. If the program does not error. But if it errors, BSL and ISL will sometimes give better error messages, which they can do because the're simpler languages.

For example, consider the program `((+) 1 2 3)`. Racket gives a runtime error "application: not a procedure" because (+) evaluates to 0, which is then applied to "1 2 3", which errors because 0 is not a procedure. But BSL can give a (helpful) syntax error, because it doesn't have higher-order functions.

(I feel like someone's going to tell me that BSL or ISL isn't a subset of Racket for some obscure reason. They're at least essentially subsets.)

There is an interesting assumption here that is sadly codified into law. I.e that individuals' who desire the characteristics you describe are willing to pay more than the "true" value of the land if it were not protected by zoning.

We might never know what case is true because both scenarios can't exist at once. I think the closest we can get would actually be Brookline, MA in the same vein as your example of Lexington. There are dense clusters in the area as well as single family homes. One could potentially look at any plots converted from single family homes to apartments/condos to determine each individual's willingness to be located in that relatively sparse city.
> Do you think its terrible that Russia rapes and tortures civilians in Ukraine?.

I think it's terrible, just as much as it's terrible that the US rapes and torture civilians in the middle east.

But that's inflammatory language, which I don't like to use.

I prefer to say that some US soldiers rape and torture civilians, and some Russian soldiers rape and torture civilians.

That's not to excuse the soldiers. And even if they join the military as destitute teenagers (be they US or Russians), they should put effort in atoning for their contribution to large scale suffering.

Basically, we shouldn't treat all soldiers the same: they aren't all war criminals, and they aren't all veterans worthy of respect. It's a career choice.

Of course, most of the responsibility lies with people like Colin Powell, George Bush, Sergei Shoigu, Vladimir Putin, etc...

That's the thing that is left unsaid often: If the conflict is big enough, there are always war crimes (on either side). That was inevitable once the invasion started, and this should've factored in the decision: it was evidently considered an acceptable cost.

That's the monstruous thing, and yet it's pretty banal: monstruous bureacrauts or accountants decided that the benefits outweighed the cost in human lives (and some of these lives would be innocent civilians, victims of rape or torture).

But considering that is useful only if you're inside the country that is engaged in the military effort. If you're outside, focusing on that doesn't help to de-escalate while the war is still raging. The material conditions guide everyone's decisions, and war is no different.
