Yep I'm sure setting an example contributed a lot here.

This decision is not going to stop exit nodes (and the worst stuff on tor probably doesn't even use exit nodes but hidden services) but it keeps Austrian IPs off the map making them seem a country in control.

The same way companies go crazy mitigating ratings on bitsight but don't care about fixing real root problems because they're not visible anywhere.

Keeping your front yard clean is a big thing in IT. In our company our corporate network is not detected by bitsight but our guest wifi is. Meaning one bad apple in a handful of guests can give our entire multinational a bad rating.

So what did they do? Make sure bitsight actually shows our real endpoints and makes an accurate result? Doing some rudimentary checks on the guest portal to make sure outdated systems can't connect? Only allowing VPN access on the guest wifi?

Nope they just turned off the guest wifi so that contractors (who still need to do the work we pay them to do) plug in the corp network against policy, or use the coffee shop wifi next door.

Bitsight rating fixed, problem hidden but not actually solved and in fact worsened by people connecting unmanaged gear to the corp network as guest. All the while gloating in the A rating which is completely meaningless.
Given the weight of the batteries, I expect you’ll see companies and customers opt for a battery half that size. The reduced weight will add a few percent to the expected range, so you might see a 600 mile battery with 45% of the capacity.
Tax breaks for businesses are not a secret plot by the illuminati to prop up their side-investments in commercial real estate. Please read what you're actually linking to and replying to.
Agree - wis there no additional layer of abstraction between autofocus and screen readers? Why is there such a dependency on this unrelated functionality? I’m inclined to see this is a failure of screen readers, and perhaps more broadly the standards on which they are based if they can’t handle what is a reasonable and common use case for normal web browsing.

I think the Scheme version of SICP will live on outside of academia and CS undergrad studies.

I'm using SICP for self-learning and I had the choice of Scheme, JS, or Python. I still chose Scheme.

This is because I figured Scheme would offer something those other languages didn't since Scheme is the original language of the book and Scheme is just "different" than other languages. It forces you to think differently about programming.

I'm glad I chose Scheme. SICP with Scheme is the best choice imo since Scheme most clearly illustrates the lessons of the book.
That’s accidental complexity though, not essential complexity. ;)
Washington passed away two years after his second term. Him not seeking a third is consistent with him being old and ailing.
You're right -- I mix the two up because I've rarely seen someone get injections that hasn't done the Botox thing. I assume it's the Botox that makes their lips move ... strangely?

> Green washing and ESG aren't an authleft project. They were invented by corporate interests looking to avoid brand damage, so at best we could say it's a right-libertarian project.

This is naive I think. The same crowd goes to Davos every year. It’s far deeper and insidious than “we don’t want to pay for lawyer/lawsuits”.

The real quiet part is this: they want their genetic lineage to have better resources than others. Usually, group dynamics (tribe) provides a better overall outcome for their kids. The fracturing of unity has led to a bunch of elite clans to seize Gov power through proxy of social justice, climate change, etc.
This phrase leaves out the largest branch of the Abrahamic family tree, namely Islam. It also underplays the revolution that was Christianity.
Sure maybe they have to say “yes” to the price, but I’m asking if they have to actually provide the drugs. Could they just decide not to sell them at that price or to just sell less?
And Scheme, but the code in this book makes clear the limits of that influence (or, perhaps, proves the idea of “the medium is the message” in the context of language design.)
Depends on what you think they’re masters of. Developer experience? Sure. Modern programming languages design? Absolutely not.
Additonal 10 gallons of fuel is a rounding error to a typical car mass, its effect on fuel efficiency is not detectable without precise lab equipment. Certainly you're not going to notice that when paying for gas.
Even in its prime, it simply didn't have enough interest from Debian developers for maintaining an official port.

With each release there are roll-call emails to help judge whether a port has sufficient maintenance to be included in the official release, and I generally see a single developer for SuperH/SH4: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/10/msg00134.html

There are a few more developers listed on the qualification page, but they don't seem to be responding to the roll-call messages: https://wiki.debian.org/ArchiveQualification/sh4

Debian doesn't sit down and do market research on amount of hardware shipped, and then allocate developers and resources based on that; they base whether there's an official port on whether there are already enough developers and infrastructure to maintain it, as builds failing on that port can block work on packages.

And besides the developers, the SH4 port had infrastructure issues, such as taking 6 days to build GCC: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2011/04/msg00173.htm...

So the answer to "why wasn't SH4 an official port" is likely "there simply weren't enough developers and infrastructure for supporting it."
Yocto does have other benefits than just resource usage. It's also good if you want to customize your compiler options, or if you operate in a safety-critical context where you might need to trace the origins of your compiled binaries.
I don't buy it. I think what happened is they lead with the budget and timeframe. What good does that do? You get 90 million and 5 years, are you going to actually implement the thing? No you are going to get the perfect hybrid of political lawyerly parasite to suck the 90 million dry and the short timeframe makes it more attractive to the parasite not less.

The explanations make no sense in the article. Automating heat treatment is computationally expensive? What the hell are they talking about? The guy who is doing the heat treatment is not doing computation!
Or if the order comes with strong pressure from the mafia or the government, and it's not ammenable to a bribe-override?

Ah, the Crusades were good because the Moors invading Europe was good? Or is this another case of "You say what we did was bad, but people who I think are terrible also did the same thing, therefore what we did was actually good!"

I guess this adds "also other people did things like that" to it, but are you saying anything here you couldn't also say about slavery or serial killing?
Back then in Germany they charged the people who reported CP.
My gasoline car doesn’t get 400mi of range. Most modern EVs easily get 200 miles. Only a fraction of people will tow a boat or camper.

Once you drive an EV you realize that the range is less of a concern than you though it would be.
"Moes" for short also.
How do you manage reputation?
The greatest instance like this that I've seen on the internet: https://youtu.be/TjVOWOKa-lY
Maybe open source generative AI can help solve cp. Cater to all these pedophile fetishes, and no need to exploit children? Remember how we phased out ivory for piano keys, and other poaching?

With diamonds, there is still a push to source “the real thing” kept alive by De Beers, and other cartels like that. But for a lot of poaching, we found replacements. I think that’s how plastic got started too btw!

Also PETA has approved fake lab-grown meat, perhaps it can reduce demand for torturing so many animals in factory farms.

PS: Japan has a culture of infantile hentai or something in its animation - which may alleviate a lot of demand for actual cp — how much cp is in Japan? (There seems to be a lot of unusual/unnatural sexual norms in Japan… from Hikkikomori to dating vending machines to total celibacy for a large proportion of the population.) https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2009/may/11/japan-child-po...
Such countries exist, but as this case and Andrew Tate show, actually putting it in such frank terms may not be a good idea.

Yeah, maybe you can buy yourself out of trouble. But I suspect in many such cases the people involved prefer to be bought quietly.

Make things too uncomfortably public or too embarrassing and the same people might well throw the book at you.
It's perfectly rational if nobody cares about the laws being broken there, and they will have no repurcursion for admitting to it.
Looks like there's more going on than what the title implies about the Tor exit node:

> What do you do now?

>§I left Austria and now work for a German company in IT, and have a data center in Kosovo… hosting grey area things there. Warez primarily.

> Also, I do want to add that I have more backstory. The CP was not the only reason for the raid.

He goes on to mention someone using the exit node to try to hack a NATO facility.

That said, the "confiscate first, come up with a fitting crime later" approach countries take on a whim are deeply troubling.

It sounds like they have had their suspicions against this man for a while (not without reason, it seems) and saw the child porn report as a chance to pounce on him, but later found out they didn't have as strong a case as they might have wished.
> Or the same Apple UX where there is a different shortcut depending on whether I want to switch between windows of the same app or windows from different apps?

That one is on purpose, and I vastly prefer it to (what I presume you are implying) the "alt-tab across every window in the universe". I'm delighted that even Ubuntu now honors the alt-backtick versus alt-tab distinction, although I'd bet that is configurable, which is likely what you're asking for, too

My experience is that the Windows windowing system supports keyboard navigation through the UI elements much, much more than Apple (and often Ubuntu, too). I do prefer that, but not enough to use a vastly inferior OS that just happens to have strong keyboard UI navigation support

There are people working to make server-level chips for it but none of them are really quite ready yet.
I'm biased since I made LiveSvelte, but it works quite well! I made a video to showcase some of its features here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMkvbW35QvA

Working with it in a real project now, instead of toy examples like in the video, it works really well for when you have highly complex components that rely on quite a lot of local state.

What you'll find is the developer experience is quite nice with LiveSvelte compared to JS hooks.
I grew up in fairly similar circumstances to the author, and only one of my childhood friends has died, from a motorcycle accident. I think that the author's experience is pretty uncommon.
> What's the difference in lifestyle between 300K and 500K? 500K and 1M?

Pretty massive, particularly when it comes to taking vacations and bringing friends who can’t afford them with you. $300k barely permits that domestically. $1 or 2mm lets you do that comfortably all over the world. Or, alternatively, single handedly saving restaurants you love or a buddy’s small business.
And as a result, life is just great for minority ethnic groups in China like, say, the Uighurs.
So "Judeo-Christianity" in this context is just a euphemism for "Christianity."

> What has become known as the People's Crusade passed through Germany and indulged in wide-ranging anti-Jewish activities, including the Rhineland massacres.
The service is technically ready for use and I've already sent several thousand emails with it, but I have the Beta tag on there for now just to tell people that it's new and to reach out if they want to chat about their specific use cases before proceeding.
> CEO pay used to be roughly 4 times the pay of the average worker, not 30 to 40 times the pay.

When you have $100 billion subject to his decisions, do you really want to cheap out and not get the best you can find? Take a look at Nadella's reign at Microsoft. The value of the company increase ONE THOUSAND PERCENT under his leadership. As a long term MSFT shareholder, I have no problem with his compensation.

Besides, his compensation is coming out of MY pocket, not the employees. The shareholders pay his salary.

> Publicly traded companies end up being driven by perverse short-term incentives.

They don't grow if they are driven by short-term incentives, they collapse. Do you really think that companies grow into the S&P500 by sabotaging their prospects?

> including their ability to stay in the middle class

Worker pay was and is determined by the Law of Supply & Demand, not some expectation of the CEO.

No. The Notion was not very much the same. Medieval views of the Torah / Old Testament were very much informed by anti-semitism.

Medieval crusaders would have balked at the idea that Jewish and Christian values could have any form of harmony.
Technically yes, and _only_ technically yes. I don't see Toyota bZ4Xs on the roads, no-one is looking forward to them. Do you know what a "compliance car" or "compliance vehicle" is? It's not a serious intent to be in that market.
How will we make, cement, steel, plastic and fertilizer?

If we do what you are suggesting, half the world population will starve to death.
In reply to myself I wanted to share a thought. This one is less bleak but probably less palatable too:

Governments should give their militaries a standing order: when society collapses, hunt down the billionaires hiding in their bunkers, ships, castles, wherever they may be hiding. Make it known that the richest 0.01% of the world has no chance to escape the doom of humanity.

Maybe that would make them try to prevent it happening. The 0.01% are the ones with power, and all they do with it is hoard it and seek more.
Seems like you want to shutdown vast parts of society for climate goals with a top down control. That would lead to deaths of millions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

There is nothing specific to provide you with because you haven’t presented any specific points in the first place. You want to shutdown energy production from fossil fuels. That would be extremely immoral if you think about the consequences.

Edit:
Responding to the comment below, you're told lies: https://www.humanprogress.org/the-collapse-of-climate-relate...

Edit: Responding to dTal below - You can't just shut down fossil fuels without killing millions, not to mention complete loss of freedom, our country and everything it stands for. We both have same goals to get rid of fossil fuels, but I disagree with "plenty of alternatives exist". The only alternative we have is nuclear power. That's not looking good. The same environmentalists that want to solve climate change are also against nuclear power, and against any solution to climate change. They want you to not have kids – that's the quiet part. They're also hypocrites. There is no objectivity to how much decarbonization is acceptable, the end goal is to eliminate you. It's a cult.
>Everyone else wants western standards of living and is copying the same infrastructure to get it.

This is an excellent reason why we should focus on putting our own house in order, in spite of all those people who say "there's no point doing anything while China is burning coal".
It feels like we could cut out the middleman by giving people money for doing nothing, and letting the robots do the dehumanizing jobs. I'm not sure why people think it's morally superior to force people to do useless stuff to get the money.
And we shoved a million more people in prisons on that time frame, that are now an administrative burden on society. 'We' all pay for that.
Similar sentiment to, “just rent a UHaul pickup instead of owning one just in case you need to move furniture/appliances”.
All I really need to know is

1. What is the 1.0 for distance, and model of car doing it

2. What is the expected multiplier for said new technology

3. What is the life expectancy curve for the new tech

4. is it any worse/better than the old battery on safety. I'm just not that worried about battery fires other than if newer tech is more apt to do it. I've been riding around sitting on gasoline tanks for decades now and it can't be much worse for safety.
“Now”? Seems like this has been going on for a very long time.

We started paying attention now.

As for the US gov and institutionalized corruption I highly recommend Lester Lessig’s work around political donations reform as the first step to democracy in the US.

We the people and the republic we must reclaim is an excellent summary of the issue and the solution: https://www.ted.com/talks/lawrence_lessig_we_the_people_and_...
I've long been a fan of a carbon tax on imported goods.

The biggest problem was being taken seriously. Everyone gets an eye-twitch from time-to-time. I made a special appointment with my PCP and was told "get more sleep", reduce stress and eat more things containing potassium... I have since found a new doctor. :)

This was the early 00's but considering your project 20 years ago, that lands in at about the right time-frame.
If your power grid is unreliable, then maybe work on fixing that rather than just giving up on climate goals.

Defeatism never accomplishes anything.
If that’s what is required, the focus should be on how we do this with minimal disruption. The fact that you don’t like the medicine doesn’t really matter.
As someone who read the Bible and then decided that atheism was the only logical path, I would be extremely picky on which principles to stick on, because there are some really valid ones in there, but also so much violence and abuse to give the Mein Kampf a run for its money.

In my experience, every time people with executive, military or political power name religion, divinities or whatever related, something very bad is going to happen, and religion is just the leverage to make atrocities more acceptable to the masses.
One thing that worries me about the cultivated disinterest in developing weapons of war among silicon Valley engineers is that we’re going to fall quickly behind.

In the USA the smartest people in the world are working on adtech. In China and Russia they’re building super-sonic missiles and AI drones.

If we don’t develop the weapons first then our adversaries certainly will.

Ask HN: Any chance on TeleSign GDPR requests?
Hello !

Did anyone had a reply from TeleSign, after a GDPR request ?

I emailed TeleSign with mine, after this story from 2 weeks ago

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36629031

They replied that they received my request, and "will revert in due course.". But that was the only message I received from them.

What is happening ? Did the story overwhelm their office ? Are they waiting to burn evidence ? Or are they just ignoring them ?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were overwhelmed. But companies in Europe rely so much on consultants and subcontractors "to have a flexible workforce" that they could just have hired new workers, if they had too many requests :/

So, did anyone of you had any chance ?
If you draw this distinction it doesn't apply to Sparta either.
Glad to hear that. I was worried that you would say you were using Safari. We keep having problems with Safari doing the wrong thing and we don't have convenient access to Safari instances.
The problem with that methodology is that it doesn't only hide race. Criminals tend to be repeated offenders. It only proves that the police couldn't recognize them.
For ML work. Is ChatGPT 4 is worth it? Which another LLM?

Why didn't OpenAI think of this? Clearly this is a far better solution than regulation!

RISC-V by design and be ambition is for everything, serious compute and embedded. Its just that its far easier to release embedded chips and that standard for that was ready far earlier.

Serious compute simply takes far longer in terms of product cycle and the relevant standard came far later.

A lot of use for RISC-V is also not in places that is target at end consumer devices.

There is not much yet in terms of RISC-V PC? The HiFive Pro P550 should be coming out at some point. Or the Unmatched currently.

Wow I never noticed that tab switching gesture thing on Brave. Quite lacking precision as you said though. Thanks for pointing it out!
Basically all these file transfer solutions are crap, from a quality and security perspective.

Procurement works by ticking off features of a list, possibly comparing prices. Quality and security are hard to quantify, and often cannot really assessed by the purchase managers themselves, so they don't play a major role in purchasing decisions.

Thus, vendors aren't really incentivized to make robust, reliable and secure software, they are incentivized to sell their software.
Just below the title (on YT page) it says "...more". Click / tap on that to expand into a summary.

Imho: out-of-control capitalism, and the resulting wealth inequality with all its negative effects.

Ok, the world obviously isn't (yet) ready for a Star Trek style utopia where money isn't important & people work 'for the common good of humanity'.

And yes, globalized capatalism has served humanity well to make efficient use of resources, innovate, and drive down the cost of mass produced items to near-zero.

But conditions have changed. GDP is a poor yardstick for measuring a population's overall well-being. Nor need I explain how greedy corporations & their advertising has enshitified the web. Or how much human talent is wasted when poor people can't afford a proper education, their lives wasted in sweatshops making cheap T-shirts.

Going forward, we need something better as a base for our economies. 'Capitalism 2.0'? A good pinch of socialism? Universal basic income? Bhutan style GNH?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_national_happiness

I don't have the answers. But 1 thing is for sure: free-wheeling capitalism in the form of multinational corporations creating 'shareholder value', is NOT it.
