Just in case you're not british, no that's not what they did. They organised a referendum, voted in parliament to follow through on the vote, then spent 5 years negotiating pretty much the most damaging version of an exit that they could, burnt bridges with the EU, signed an agreement on the border with Ireland which they then decided to renege on, trashed our trade with the EU through failure to compromise on anything, failed to prepare our ports leading to massive queues and delays and the loss of small to medium business transactions with the EU. Implemented damaging and unnecessary additional british regulations which diverge from EU regulations and standards, necessitating extra cost to uk businesses which must support both standards. Screwed over the horizon science funding, screwed over studying abroad, and many other things too. There was a version of brexit that was minimally damaging, but on every case they pursued a maximally antagonistic solution in order to pander to the ERG and be seen to be tough to their senile voter base.

Thank you! “Why on Earth wouldn’t an educated adult want to be pressured out of her interesting job and back into complete dependence as soon as she has a child? Must be the mobile apps, not that taste of freedom they’ve had…”

A year of (mostly) maternal leave is silver, but a legal framework that normalizes working high-skill jobs part-time for several years is absolute gold to prudent young to middle aged women with aging parents but some desire to still have kids.

Aging parents: delighted to have them still with us, but on a practical level, not much lightening the child-rearing load. All the capacity for nurture, none of the capacity of chasing down a three year old who saw a dump truck drive by.

My small child’s grandparents and dear great-aunts are mid-70s to mid-80s. Two generations of having kids late will do that. My working part-time and flexibly has enabled us to promote my child’s relationships with them and makes it easier for me to help them, which they need a bit more every year.

I didn’t have to make the stark choice I see my friends back in the States making: go back to work before the baby is mobile and full time, or give up any serious job for the next several years and get to start over a decade later.

That eBay story is wild, and does make you wonder how deep the rot must be in that company. Also, why on Earth does eBay need a "global intelligence center" and a "global security team"? Do they have a completely separate line of business that I'm not aware of?

At least one person went to prison, so there's that.
Yes, this happens, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. That, like cars, bicycles should also be separated from pedestrians? I agree, dedicated cycle lanes are great and we should have more of them. But this is an entirely separate issue.

Show HN: Build your own lunar lander autopilot
Inspired by a previous post of a lunar lander game [1] and a subsequent autopilot for that same game [2], I made another lunar lander game where the user writes their own autopilot!

Its written in Svelte, rendering with HTML Canvas.

The options tab will let you set your initial conditions. The settings are encoded into the URL, and there's an option to include your autopilot code in the URL as well to save your state or share it with others.

> because HFT's provide no value at all to the everyday person

If you participate in the stock market at all, you indirectly benefit from HFTs lowering the bid/ask spread and therefore getting a better price. Now matter how insignificant, but the benefit is there.

Of course if we're dealing in millions, not thousands, then the benefit is more pronounced, but a couple of cents here or there still make a difference.

At the very worst HFT firms are a net neutral.

> "make lots of money at the expense of mainstreet investors"

Can you elaborate on this further? I don't see how HFTs make money at the expense of mainstreet investors. HFTs make money on the expense of inefficiencies, therefore making the markets more efficient.

>Because that's what's really happening here. Once you sell your data to Facebook, Twitter, etc, it's no longer "in your house." If you granted third parties license to collect and sell your data under terms of service, then that data no longer belongs to you, and you agreed to that.

That's the general thrust of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence and is called the "third-party doctrine". But the Carpenter decision in 2018 is a big exception to that, and it's likely that more are to come.
> Yes yes you've got a big list of cherry-picked papers

What's wrong with that? Show me a similar list of papers proving that animal agriculture is the solution for our problems, and I'll happily change my viewpoint. The problem is that no such independent and peer reviewed studies (can even) exist.

> Then just a quick dismissal of goats

Yeah, I think that grazing is extremely destructive for the ecosystems. Not when you've got a single goat or two, but at the scale yes. It's not a secret that previous civilizations had environmental pressures that contributed to their collapse, and overgrazing could be one of those reasons. A lot of those previous civilizations places are now deserts. Coincidence? I'd bet not :)

> existence of cash-cropping other then to say 'oh yeah it's probably animal feed'

We would need just a fraction of resources if it were not for pastures and the need for animal feed. It's not probably, it's for sure. Again, science.

> Really? Rice is animal feed?

I never said that. I'll give you this link/graph again:

Rice is 5.6%, animal ag (incl. feed) 60%.
I've always been surprised that this surprised some people.
Yep, we used to use that in a few places. CI jobs, batch processes, etc. Prometheus has PushGateway which we also used before migrating to VM, but it had certain drawbacks (can't recall exactly what, sorry) that the new solution didn't.
Libreware and Libre Sofware as an Alternative Term for “Free Software” ?
The terms "libreware" and "libre sofware" is interchangeable to the term "free software (defined by FSF)" to describe software that grants users the freedom to use, modify, and distribute the software. Both terms refer to the same concept, emphasizing the principles of software freedom rather than its price.

However, the term "libre software" and "libreware" is more useful or clearer than "free software" for a few reasons:

1. Avoiding Ambiguity: The term "free software" can be ambiguous and lead to confusion. In English, "free" can mean both "zero cost" and "freedom." While "free software" advocates use the term to convey freedom, some people may initially interpret it as software that is available at no cost, missing the essential point about the liberties it offers. On the other hand, "libre software" or "libreware" directly emphasizes the freedom aspect, reducing potential misunderstandings.

2. Cultural and Language Differences: In many languages, the word used for "free" only refers to price and not freedom. This can create a language barrier in conveying the idea behind "free software." By using "libre software," which is derived from the Romance languages and translates to "free" as in freedom, the message is more universally accessible and understandable across different cultures and languages.

3. Focus on Liberty: The term "libre software" or "libreware" ;explicitly highlights the central aspect of the movement, which is the freedom to study, modify, share, and use the software for any purpose. It places emphasis on the four essential software freedoms defined by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

4. Neutral Term: Some people may associate the word "free" with low quality or think it's just a marketing gimmick. By using "libre software" or "libreware" ;the terminology is more neutral and avoids any negative connotations that might be associated with "free" in the context of software.
It was the easiest for us to deliver a binary that works on Linux, macOS and Windows. Others can then use this binary as a reference to package LPython into other distributions. You can also install LPython from source, but it's harder than just using the binary that we built correctly (with all optimizations on, etc.).
You would think so, but Congress has occasionally done things like this, like pass the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, both of which impose restrictions on government access to information beyond what the Courts at the time required under the Fourth Amendment.

One concerning development is how much the Democratic Party, which used to be a major proponent of restrictions on government searches, has cozied up to the defense and intelligence establishments since 2016 because of a shared interest in stopping populist right-wing movements that also happen to be anti-interventionist. They're also less keen on digital rights these days because they want to censor right-wingers online.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect people here to cater to a least common denominator of comprehension.
If you watch the video, 9.6 years to payoff and 25 years to replacement in this particular case.
> The storage costs wouldn't be a huge deal to either group.

Broadcast-grade video tape cassettes were expensive even in bulk, and all tape requires climate-controlled archival storage since heat and especially humidity are quickly destructive to the adhesives that hold the magnetic layer to the substrate. (If you'd like more detail here, the term of art for this failure mode is "sticky-shed syndrome". While it's obviously more of a problem now than then, archival needs were understood at the time.)

Depending on format (Betacam SP or U-Matic), an open-ended commitment to preserving all programming would involve adding at minimum 2/3 to 1 cassette per hour of programming - more if you want multiple copies. So your running costs start out sizable and only grow over time, in search of a highly speculative payoff that at best won't be realized for years to decades.

The most eye-catching title I’ve seen.
I've just started adding logs to notifico (ex: https://n.tkte.ch/c/1/2023-07-28), which is very barebones. Don't get much time to work on it, but I'm working on implementing search in a cost-effective manner. If the ~3000 IRC channels that use Notifico opt-in to logging they'll get it for free permanently, and I'll be offering nightly dumps to an SFTP server of your choice to make sure there's no lock-in.

You're totally right that you need a bot to have open logs online, I'm just trying to point out that a huge number of open source projects (CPython, FreeBSD, Haiku, Quotebrowser, random NASA weather balloons, thousands of others) already use a common bot so it's not that hard of a problem. The bigger problem is political, in that most IRC network discourage logging, and many communities are outright hostile to it.

Notifico discards PRIVMSG's immediately and the rest of its logs after a couple of hours normally, but in its last decade of operating it's seen more than 2 billion messages to give you an idea of how much has to get indexed.

Also, writing your own bot for IRC is trivial, and has no TOS, complicated APIs, OAuth flows, or other barriers to entry. Can absolutely do the same for Discord but they've already been making changes to make it more difficult to log or export your data.
The 4A does actually evaporate for a subset of Americans. Reagan's EO12333 permits warrantless collection for Americans subject to background investigations. You are fair game for the panopticon from the submission of an SF86 application until the time you end your security clearance.

They're saying that for a sequential number, you must have a central authority managing that number. If two environments have different authorities, they have a different mapping of these sequential numbers, so now they can't share data.

Berlin startup scene is a joke compared to the Silicon Valley though. Cambridge, London, Zürich, maybe Munich I would agree to a certain degree - but not Berlin. The rule of thumb is that it's better outside of EU though.
I'd like a cyberdeck that uses a Linux tablet as its display. So I could dock it and use a good small mechanical keyboard, maybe a low profile Keychron, or use it on the go.

An Android tablet would also do, since there's a lot that can be done with Termux, but I'd much rather have a "real" Linux device.

Seeing a keyboard like this one[1] makes me wish I could get some sort of origami fold out dock for a tablet, that would be so cool I'd have to wear shades indoors.

> Do you have a good reason to believe that we can consider negligible the proportion of people who are entitled to participate in this class action but are not aware of its existence and their rights and responsibilities? Can you show that it's probable that they're not in the majority?

It's not really the set of people who are entitled to participate in this class action but are unaware of it that is relevant here. The relevant set is the subset of that group that would choose not to be in this settlement and also would individually sue Facebook over the legal issues and factual allegations involved in the class action.

I would expect that most people who are sufficiently concerned over the Facebook activities involved in this class action to actually individually sue would have already done so or at least started preparing to do so long ago and as part of that would have kept track of other lawsuits that overlapped with theirs.

It would be great if someone with appropriate "back in the day" credentials would take over membership of this document and powerwash the gratuitous Eric Raymond edits and insertions off of it.
Oh, I think I see the confusion.

"proof of personhood" is something of a term of art which worldcoin did not invent. They are not literally claiming they can prove, in a mathematical sense, personhood. What would that even mean? See for example this, which seems to have originated the term in 2017: https://berkeley-defi.github.io/assets/material/Proof%20of%2...

"proof of personhood" was created in contrast to "proof of work" and "proof of stake". If you want to get technical "proof of work" is also not a mathematical proof, it is more of an argument of work, since it's possible to get lucky and find a low hash without doing all the work. The word "proof" is not doing what you think it is doing.

There are a couple other "proof of personhood" protocols and none of them mathematically prove personhood, because that is obviously impossible, some of them are listed at the beginning of this post: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/07/24/biometric.html
Sure, but I imagine (not an automotive engineer) some vehicles simply can't be designed to be crash-compatible with regular cars. Think buses, real trucks (like for cargo, not the big cars that americans like to call trucks), specialized vehicles...

And either way, the intent of my "counter-proposal" is to point out that the normal size cars shouldn't be considered not suitable for road use just because there are bigger badder cars out there and that, if anything, the big and dangerous cars are the ones that should be segregated to protect everyone else, not the other way around.
