What’s in the Government’s UFO Files? Senators Want Public to Know
They didn't take back their ccTLD nor is it unavailable. The (Dutch) company Freenom managing it was sued by Facebook for not policing their free domains used in phishing attacks.

This is a very different case. I would point out maybe it's not a super great idea to pick a ccTLD in a country with a decade long war internally. I've seen Haiti's (.ht) used a decent amount (notably as a secondary for sourcehut, sr.ht) and would think this one is a particularly vulnerable one as well.

You’re confusing privilege with confidentiality.

From YKW, and squares with my very foggy recollection from PR.

—

Sure, I'll outline some key differences and similarities between privilege and confidentiality in the context of legal practice, specifically regarding client identification.

*Privilege*

1. Privilege is a legal concept that protects certain communications between an attorney and their client from being disclosed in legal proceedings.

2. It can be waived by the client, and there are certain exceptions to privilege, such as the crime-fraud exception.

3. However, the scope of privilege is generally limited to the content of communications themselves and doesn't typically extend to information about the client's identity, except in rare circumstances where the disclosure of the client's identity would reveal the substance of a confidential communication.

*Confidentiality*

1. Confidentiality, on the other hand, is a professional ethical obligation that requires lawyers to keep information related to the representation of a client secret, unless the client gives informed consent or the disclosure is impliedly authorized to carry out the representation.

2. This duty of confidentiality is broader than privilege and may cover information the lawyer learned from any source about the client, including the client's identity in many circumstances.

3. Unlike privilege, a breach of confidentiality can lead to professional sanctions for the lawyer, but it may not provide the same protections from disclosure in legal proceedings.

*Comparison and Contrast*

1. Both privilege and confidentiality are essential to ensure the free flow of information between a lawyer and their client, fostering trust in the lawyer-client relationship. They both serve to protect the client's interests.

2. However, privilege is a legal concept subject to legal exceptions and waivers, and it protects from forced disclosure in court, while confidentiality is a broader ethical duty that extends beyond the courtroom.

3. In most cases, the identity of a client isn't protected by privilege, but it may be covered by the duty of confidentiality depending on the context. If revealing the client's identity could harm the client or betray a confidence, then the lawyer has a duty to keep that information confidential.

This is a simplified summary and these concepts can get complicated in real-life situations. Always consider local and jurisdiction-specific rules and case law when dealing with privilege and confidentiality.

Because TLD is the property of a sovereign. A sovereign that does not report to the US Government. For US business to use their property as their face to the world (such as pm.me) they need to understand and accept that they're putting their business fate in the hands of a sovereign. Things like OP (X Government takes back .xy TLD) happen, people need to pay attention to power, and geopolitics.

Break things down. A simple language VM is going to have a way to represent objects in memory, a byte code interpreter, a simple garbage collector, and a way to load things.

A byte code interpret is a stack, some way to represent functions on that stack, and then a loop to interpret beach byte code and move the program counter.

Client says stuff doesn't work, is it tech support?
That's true, but it does communicate something important to companies and individuals looking to use, contribute, or build on the project to say what kind of open source it is, rather than just saying its open-source IMO. Would be interested to hear if you think it could be clarified though.

Oil is primarily an energy source. When we talk about "carbon" in the context of climate change we're usually talking about carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of energy generation that itself contains no consumable energy. Saying "carbon will be the new oil" is like saying my poop will be my new food source - it just doesn't make sense.
This specific problem should only directly influence the .ml domain, but it's possible other instances are overloaded because of .ml shutting down.

Lemmy.ml still seems to work for me, I wonder why that is exactly. Perhaps the administrators have bought the domain from .ml's new owners?
> Maybe 2 chargers 50kW would be perfectly sufficient and much more economical outside of freeways?

That remains for the free market to decide....if the owner considers a generator is cheaper, then leave him be. Where grid power is enough, electricity will be much cheaper than a generator, so if the owner wants a generator, it's probably a choice between having a generator charger vs no charger.

I'm not an expert in this, but this link from NOAA seems to be a definitive explanation. Short answer is yes, but it also leads to more ocean acidity, which causes problems for ocean life.

https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/ocean-co...

Carbon dioxide, which is naturally in the atmosphere, dissolves into seawater. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that breaks (or “dissociates”) into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).

Because of human-driven increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there is more CO2 dissolving into the ocean. The ocean’s average pH is now around 8.1, which is basic (or alkaline), but as the ocean continues to absorb more CO2, the pH decreases and the ocean becomes more acidic.
It was also dangerous for your PC: as soon as people ceded the ability to led their parties control what we run on our devices--such as by "only firmware signed by Apple can run on my phone"--we lost this war.

Isn't this because the vast majority of existing codebases and know-how are in webpack? They're trying to supplant webpack with a simple --turbo and keep existing momentum.
Pretty outrageous.

From Article

""Another Texas woman, Amanda Zurawski, testified about her experience of beginning to have a miscarriage at 18 weeks into a long-sought pregnancy, dooming the fetus. But due to the state's laws, she was not able to obtain standard medical care—a prompt procedural abortion that would hasten the inevitable termination of the pregnancy to prevent complications—because the fetus still had detectable electrical pulses from cardiac cells. (Embryonic cardiac activity begins to be detectable at around week four of pregnancy, but an actual fetal heart and heartbeat do not fully develop until weeks 17 to 20). As Zurawski waited for fetal cardiac activity to fade, she developed life-threatening sepsis and spent three days in the intensive care unit. The delay in care also caused the development of scar tissue, which may prevent her from having children.""

> The public doesn't care how/what the devs want it to do. The public cares about what they can make it do

This is _hacker_ news. I don’t care about what it was “intended” to do either; I care about what it can do when pushed to its limits!
First line:

> Since the turn of the millennium, most American families have been invested in
the stock market.

The actual percentage appears to be 61%.

Now, that's definitely a majority and so the line is defensible. However, I would say that "most" has connotations that are in conflict with "more than 1/3rd of all Americans are not invested in the stock market".
I've heard enough horror stories lately (including[1]) that I'm considering moving a container registry off of a cctld. Container registries for whatever reason use .io by convention (docker.io, gcr.io, ghcr.io) so our public-facing registry does too, but I've been thinking that it's not worth the risk. .io is probably safer than most just because of how load-bearing it's become, though.

I wouldn't say that buying stock in companies that provide air conditioners to consumers fits any definition of fixing the problem of man-made climate change. In fact, wouldn't a warmer planet be better for AC businesses?
> The first thing that comes to mind for me is that cities are usually pretty far from the farms.

This isn't actually that true though.

Even in places like San Francisco or Seattle you can find farms and greenhouses within 10 miles of downtown. Moving them, like, 5 miles closer at the cost of millions and millions of dollars doesn't make much sense.

The long supply chains are for things like avocados or apples or prepackaged salads. All things that vertical farms don't really do.

> In my experience, people that live in cities have never really had fresh vegetables before unless they've personally grown them.

This is a hilarious argument to me because most grocery stores in our area already offer hydroponic lettuce and tomatoes, but they are sold as an inferior product to the stuff grown in soil.

>military casualties were to be expected, weren't they?

First, convenient to ignore the 100,000 civilian deaths. Second, what you are saying is the war was basically won*

*After hundreds of thousands of additional military deaths fighting to completely dismantle Japan.

>The details were up for grabs

Again, these "details" are hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths. You are acting like death from atomic bombs are the only deaths that matter, so people that die during battle or millions of deaths from starvation from a blockade[1] are fine. This is just so divorced from reality I don't even understand what you are trying to say. Yeah, we could have just killed millions Japanese people with a blockade or kill 100,000 Americans and a million Japanese during an invasion. Atomic weapons were totally unneeded.

Why doesn't everyone run their own Lemmy server and federate? Seems to me this would be the only way to avoid all the various server problems.

I don't even think it's misleading. You don't know what XYZ show Corp does or will do with the land. It's a mystery not a deception.

On the other hand, if the buyer is called XYZ Fun Center and tells you that they're going to put in a nonprofit for Orphans, that would be deception.

It all comes back to the idea that saying I won't tell you what I'm going to do with the purchase is not a lie. It's perfectly honest
Oooh interesting, thank you. I totally misunderstood this as the "integers never need more than 64 bits, so hash tables are constant" argument.
I employee you to try a "no-town" run. It works in Diablo I and II. Essentially once you spawn in, you have to leave and never return which opens up interesting gameplay.

Waypoints? They're essentially useless. You can't return to town and why would you warp back to a cleared area?

Why go to the Den of Evil? You can't get the skill point from Akara anyways...

Town portals become useless, however, identify scrolls become one of the most valuable item. Do you hold onto the unid'd gloves that take up 4 inventory spots or drop it?

Do you equip the javelin that has 4 durability, or do you save it for the boss?

Do you remember where your cache of health pots were?

It's really hard and really fun. If you've tapped the Diablo reservoir and looking for something new, I'd try it
Ask HN: Why can't I buy a MacBook that is connected to the cellular network
This just mystifies me. It's such a spectacularly and obviously useful addition, and technically almost trivial to implement, and yet it doesn't exist. My iPad Pro of course can do it, and so can my iPhone, but the totally maxed-out 16" MacBook Pro can't.

I'm on the road constantly, and the ability to just use my laptop whenever/wherever I want without having to fuss with a hotspot, and to have graceful failover from wifi (like if I'm at a hotel on a Zoom call) would be worth quite a bit.

I know I would pay basically any price for this, and I can't be the only one.

And yet.
I’m not sure why you think it would be.

Probably because it is confidential and most people, and many attorneys, don’t understand that privilege and confidentiality are terms of art with distinct meanings.
The issues tab is a fun read - never seen a response like this on a web spec.

At least Montenegro is managing their own ccTLD, not like some mysterious islands (.io, .pw, etc).

Tamagui Takeout: React Native, NextJS, Supabase starter that updates with PR bot
Tamagui just released a starter kit called Takeout which integrates:

* React Native & Expo
* NextJS
* Tamagui (styling + prebuilt UI components + tree-flattening compiler)
* Supabase preconfigured w/ auth, login screens etc.

With 100% code sharing between RN and web. So you effectively get an iOS, Android and SSR’ed app on the Web from a single codebase.

What’s particularly interesting is that it goes further than a normal starter / bootstrap repo in that they have a GitHub bot that gives you automatic updates via Pull Requests.

A new model to fund open source?

My estimation is that fully integrated starter kits like these potentially saves weeks of integration time.

> You can immediately see that you value soulslike as a superior genre, yet to me I see those games are just as grindy. Die to a boss a million times to learn the timings -> finally you beat it. Not that much different than ARPGs where you kill lots of stuff and die infrequently. It's just two sides of the same coin.

That's not the same at all. The grind is built into Diablo, there is no way to avoid it. I regularly play souslike, it has been years since I needed to grind out a boss.
> who is finally putting their foot down and deciding that we are all going to be forced to either used fully-locked down devices

The person who wrote the proposal[0] is from Google. All the authors of the proposal are from Google[1].

I've been thinking carefully about this comment, but I really don't know what to say. It's absolutely heartbreaking watching something I really care about die by a thousand cuts; how do we protest this? Google will just strong-arm their implementation through Chromium and, when banks, Netflix & co. start using it, they've effectively cornered other engines into implementing it.

This isn't new to them. They did it with FLoC, which most people were opposed to[2]. The most they did was FLoC was deprecate it and re-release it under a different name.

The saving grace here might be that Firefox won't implement the proposal.

I agree on "forget your existing low level customers" and I think you're hitting on one of the growth paths but there's another one.

The path you are hitting on implies the client/employer already knows what they need and are gatekeeping on it. It's great to be able to get past those gates - ie, if you've grown yourself into a FAANG-caliber engineer, go interview at Google, but in this case Google already knows what they need and what that looks like.

The line from the article that I cited is the other dynamic - where the client doesn't know what they need. You're right that might be because they are a low level client and don't actually need your expertise (what you mentioned) but it may also be the case that they do badly need you but can't recognize it because of your relative difference in levels.

In general, the higher your level, the more likely it is that even otherwise high-level people will not understand the nuance of what you can bring to them. In that case, there's the sales process that should kick in, and by sales I simply mean helping the client see that they have a problem and that they would be much better off if that problem was solved, and that you're a rare breed who can do it.

That may be a good reason for a company to avoid certain TLDs but it certainly doesn’t make it right for a government to just cancel a legitimate business.

So if Mali confiscates a TLD “rightly so” seems like an unreasonable response. “This is a warning to all of us” makes sense however.

> Capitalism, shareholder or otherwise, is a mechanism to optimize production

This has nothing whatsoever to do with capitalism.

Capitalism is an economic system in which those who invest capital rather than labor or ideas are considered to be entitled to the bulk of the profit from the endeavor. This is defended by the claim that the capital-ists are also exposed to more of the risk, and hence deserve more of the reward. There are strong counter-arguments to this position.
