Oh, the fun idle musing of a non-security person. Its fun reading this list like watching Hollywood haxors attempt to hack something with some bizarre elaborate graphic user interface nobody would ever write.

> Identify risks that can kill people.

While we are imagining things people are more likely to die from excess sugar intake, alcohol, or driving on a freeway than in military combat or from some "hacker". Those are huge risks costing more lives than a holocaust and at much greater expense. We need to isolate these systems.

Talking about security with software developers who have never worked in security reminds of talking about performance. These things are like opinions. Everybody has opinions and most people become emotionally invested in their opinions as though their Monopoly money were something other than artificial. Usually though there is no actual investment of time, money, or professional experience in any of this. An outside observer might refer to this by colorful language.

If you want your opinions on security (or performance) to be more than bullshit... write some software to solve for some part of this.

I personally use another font and theme.

But if I had to pick a font, GTK theme and icon theme from the ones shipped with Ubuntu, I would pick that.

I also assume most people would prefer those settings to the theme that is included with XFCE.

Normally equity refers to everyone getting their fair share.

It's never been synonymous with equality of outcomes.

For example, equal opportunity might dictate that you consider both women and men for a job position, giving women equal opportunity. But equity demands that they'd be paid the same for the same work.
Interesting that they limited the clause to only audio, video and chat. Looking at their definition of Customer Content it means that they can use, for example, documents you shared, transcripts, a very nebulous ‘outputs’ and visual displays.

So they can create a transcript of the conversation and train with it. Or train on any document you may have shared during a Zoom meeting.

I woukd have preferred the exception - if that was the intent - to enumerate the components of the Customer Content that they want to use for training.

10.1 Customer Content. You or your End Users may provide, upload, or originate data, content, files, documents, or other materials (collectively, “Customer Input”) in accessing or using the Services or Software, and Zoom may provide, create, or make available to you, in its sole discretion or as part of the Services, certain derivatives, transcripts, analytics, outputs, visual displays, or data sets resulting from the Customer Input (together with Customer Input, “Customer Content”);

The point is that the upper bound model is much, much easier to run, since you don't have to do any complicated modeling of how much of the substance people are actually exposed to, you just assume the worst case. If this model already gives you the right answer, it saves you the considerable work of coming up with a realistic exposure estimate (and then the additional work of explaining this estimate in a way that people believe you, etc.).

So it's not a case of running 1 model vs. running 2 models, it's running 1 dead simple model vs. 1 much more difficult and complicated model. If the simple model is good enough, you just want to run that. In this case it wasn't, though.
Just as it happens with backups, if you overlook the quality and utility of logs it will come back to haunt you, often costing 10x more time and effort.

Show HN: Graffiti, Hyper-Local Anonymous Message Boards (No App Required)
Hello HN!

I'm Phil, the creator of Graffiti - A web-based hyper-local anonymous message board (think YikYak but with no app required and the frontend aesthetics of Craigslist). It's meant to be pretty lightweight and run on almost anything with a browser and basic location services. It's built mostly in Python and Svelte, and currently running on a small Ubuntu VM + Postgres DB.

I originally started this project to leave geo-located comments for my brother and his friends around town since we all were fans of long meandering walks. I saw some friends-of-friends leave posts as well so I started to add additional features like:

-Replies: Start your message with "@@post_id" to get added to a thread below the parent post.

-Hashtags: Use a URL like https://graffitihere.com/#parks to see only comments including #parks.

-Distance filters: Currently Graffiti supports sorting distances between 400M and 5KM, though I'd like to build better ways to support more granular radii and other geo-based options.

-Tripcodes (optional): Use an imageboard-style tripcode to identify yourself to friends and build a reputation without having to keep the same username.

-Basic Search: Search the text of a post, username, or tripcode to filter posts.

There's plenty more to work on, and I'm really interested in what HN thinks would be useful features to prioritize next.

Most people probably won't see many posts outside major cities like Boston, New York, DC, etc. but we're always looking for new use-cases and to see how people interact with Graffiti so I encourage playing around!

Here's a simple Google slide deck with some getting started tips and tricks: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FoXLiVXbrPOgQA08g-CE...

I'd love to hear your feedback on Graffiti! I'm happy to discuss any comments here, but feel free to send an email to GraffitiHQ@protonmail.com to chat with me directly. Thanks!
Apparently “selective undo”: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Un...
R&D is a significant part of what you have to amortise. I'm guessing they are going to pay the machinery significantly less than if it was brand new. Part of it might even be relocated from another fab. Yields should also be better. That leaves the building but I'm guessing the German state must be generous here and that should help offset that.
Are these not still under copyright? Scarry died in 1994.

Germany has around Dresden one of two regions in Europe with a large cluster of chip industry.

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

ASML buys key equipment in Germany: optics from Zeiss and lasers from Trumpf for EUV lithography.

Intel builds up chip production in Magdeburg, Infineon in Dresden, Wolfspeed in Saarland, Bosch in Dresden and Reutlingen and now TSMC in Dresden.
Someone told me that noise cancellation gave them tinnitus, and some weeks later out of cheer curiosity I was looking into how people who lose some of their hearing can get it back, and it turns out, when you have hearing loss, your brain / ear tries to adapt as much as possible, and you essentially could get tinnitus, its your brain trying to fill in the quiet. So if you've got any sort of hearing loss, I would take that into consideration when trying out noise cancellation. This is of course anecdotal as heck and a conclusion I drew on my own, but it made too much sense to me.

Either way, just posting this as a potential warning, if you use any noise cancellation, its not the technologies fault, its your brain trying to fill in the weirdly quiet bits its not hearing. Thankfully a lot of these noise cancelling headsets you can just not turn on the feature and they're just as good.
These are not "small things", but things people generally don't pay attention and just use a cheap version. Using good quality ones really makes life better:

Rabbit's quorum queues are an improvement on the extremely poor HA/clustering system they provided previously. Users can now choose between both.

Rabbit's defaults are still unfortunate, in my opinion: queues and messages are not disk-persisted by default, though this can easily be enabled. As a result, many folks run and benchmark a "high availability rabbit" only to discover that they're benchmarking distributed state stored in memory, not disk.

Each country has their own energy and water providers, land taxes, etc.

There are a bunch of regulations on how companies can operate in the economic block, but it's still a bunch of sovereign countries there.
I still maintain that the F91W solved the "watch problem" for just about everyone in the world. Ten USD, keeps date and time, has an alarm, illuminates, water resistant, and will last 7 years on battery. The value is insane.
> I'm kinda happy for her that her punishment is fairly mild - I mean after all she'll have to live with the guilt for the rest of her life - but she's definitely responsible for it.

This is an odd statement. She killed someone. Feeling bad about it is irrelevant imo. And living with guilt is not the equivalent of time served.
I'd single out Garmin especially for the HN crowd.

While other watches seem to go in the "consumers like their data in simple colored blobs and are scared of numbers", Garmin goes hard on "chart and graph everything"
AH the 'i didnt know' side of logging. Once you start logging you probably will find all sorts of things going on you did not know about. Things you probably now need to address.

I have also made the mistake of logging because I could. Logging without a plan I have found to not be worth it. If you are not going to take actions on those logs. Why are you keeping/making them? The flip side is when something breaks you will know you want those logs. Hopefully, you will have what you need in them (usually not). But then you turn on more and more as you need it and eventually find a happy medium.
All the diagrams are dead images for me :(
The difference is that their behavior is proper and makes sense, not an effort to steal attention from Bernie. I'll repeat again, the candidates were absolutely not burning through money, time, and political capital for a pretend presidential run to take attention away from Sanders. They were different flavors of moderate to appeal to the largely moderate base. Even if Sanders was entitled to more attention(he's wasn't), there is no reason to think Amy Klobachar or Cory Booker voters would go for Bernie over Biden when their policies are closer to Biden.
I have not read yet, but how much of this critique is relevant to Python and overuse of generators?
I like their documentation in general and learned a lot from it. Especially since - unlike Pincore (which has good documentation too) - they don't focus primarily on their commercial offerings. I feel it's really written with the intention to inform first and to sell second.

People who don't understand what OP just wrote should look at what just happened to the South Korean semiconductor market. over 36% plunge in exports[] and that samsungs memory profit dropped 95%[].

Yes, they depend on ASML, but ASML itself was dependent on IP from TSMC engineers. TSMC already announced that they will stop applying for subsidies from the Chip Act[] in the US recently because the US keeps changing what confidential data needs to be shared with the US.

They seem to be at least slowly understanding that this is a dangerous game.

And for the people that keep talking about ASML you might well want to remember that not long ago the leadership was mocking China's capability to build their own domenstic supply chain only to flipflop shortly after saying that it would be foolish to abandon the Chinese market likely indicating that they might be concerned that their domestic supply chain might end show up faster than expected.

Taiwanese media last year was plastered with news about how the US hollowed out the Japanese semiconductor industry with its agreement in 1986 and how that will be potentially the fate of Taiwan.

But the sibling comments are correct about the potential blowback, let's not forget that the US has been talking about bombing TSMC themselves[]. I guess that probably explains why they just announced a delay to the construction of the Arizona fab.

Yes, that makes sense, the 8 is a nice optimum. But if you engineer for maximum reliability and still need more than 3 gears then that five is as good as it gets. It's the NEXUS SG-C7002-5CD 5-speed model, to be specific. There is also an e-bike one for even more torque applications.
You should move to Japan.
Given the delay to get cars right now, I'm guessing Europe has significantly less "bog-standard" fabs that you think it does.
Awhile back I had to move a MariaDB database that should have been tiny. When we actually went to look at it, it was over 400GB and obviously the first question was WTF. The developers had decided to log to a table which did make for really simple ways to query the logs, but caused us to have to get a bit creative in the migration (which was actually kind of fun in the end). I'm sure it's been done many times, but it's the first time I had run into it.

They are not coming from zero. This joint venture is 70% TSMC, so it is essentially guaranteed that they are basically just going to copy/paste an existing TSMC fab. There is not going to be any "catching up" when the company you want to catch up with it literally yourself.

Besides, there are already plenty of fabs in Europe at these nodes at companies like GlobalFoundries. Getting another one isn't going to be very useful in trying to catch up, especially when it is one from just before a huge paradigm shift. It's not going to teach them anything about EUV, so they would be trying to catch up from 7-8 nodes behind without even using the technology needed to reach the cutting-edge.
What does it change from normal/cheaper keyboards? I've never made the jump because I'm always scared that the additional noise will bother people around me who might sleep at times when I am working.

I suppose you haven’t been following Apple News for long. The cycle is always the same, everyone is explaining why it’s a worthless product, too expensive, no market, doesn’t work, whatever. And then later they’re all about how obvious of a product it is, they or their favorite manufacturer did it ten times better, Apple needs to give the technology away.

Remember Slashdots out-of-hand dismissal for the iPod: ‘No wireless? Less space than a Nomad? Lame’. It sounds so obvious why the product is bad, but it turns out it’s focusing on things that don’t matter.
Decimal floating point floats are exactly as weird as binary floating points.

The only difference is that different numbers are representible. You still have:

- They do not obey mathematical laws for real numbers

- Equality comparison is meaningless

- Multiple operation lead to unboundedly large errors

>Experts that handle applications with "real" numbers can then explicitly switch to "weird float". It is worth a thought.

The weirdness does not go away in decimal floats. It is exactly as weird.

>One could argue that for many use cases (most spreadsheets handling money amounts, for example) computers are powerful enough now that "non-integer numbers" should default to some base-10 floating point

Base 10 floats do not fix money amounts. (1/3)3 is not* equal to 1 in base 10 floats. You can not correctly handle money with floats, as money is not arbitrarily dividable. Changing to base 10 does not fix that.

The core problem with money is that the divison operation is not well defined. As for example $3.333... is not an amount of money that can exist. Even the mathematically correct operations are wrong, you can not fix that with imperfect approximations.

Actually, when housing value grows faster than inflation, rents stay low, and you could have observed that yourself in 2010-2020, when the capital gains in the property value subsidized renters. When the growth stops is the time for rents to catch up.

>To solve the housing crisis, Americans need to be deprogrammed out of this belief that owning a home is supposed to yield a return.

Markets don't quite work like that. A seller will sell at the highest price offered (as same as the buyer will buy at the lowest price), if you were able to "deprogram" this behavior, you'd put the entire market, not just the real estate, in complete chaos.

I would assume land costs are higher in NL, as there is less (I don't think Tesla paid a lot for the land) water in Germany depends on the region (but even Tesla in a dry region seems to do fine, although there are protests), there is more water in the south and less in the north, but again more near the coast (where I live), Netherlands has 26% corporate tax, Germany has 23% to 32% corporate tax, depending where you are (federalist state, some portion is determined by municipalities).

Energy prices are currently high b/c a lot is produced by gas powered plants, but as Germany peaked renewables at 82% lately, and new renewables are very cheap (there are solar plants popping up everywhere here), energy should not be a problem (chip production is not aluminium or fertilizer production).

The main reason TSMC builds there is that there are already lots of chip makers and knowledgeable staff to hire (and state subsidies, which if correctly used can be a good thing, Bavaria made the transition from an agricultural country to a high tech country with state subsidies, money transfers from the richer states in Germany to Bavaria - of course if used badly are just lost without effect).
Depends on what the US tell NL to do, as we've seen before.
Amen. At my company we tried LastPass, BitWarden and there were revolts from either sales or tech sides of biz... nothing stuck until 1password, since then its been bliss.
How was Keller able to pull off so much impactful work over so many organizations? i.e. what proportion of his impact was attributable to novel ideas, solo engineering implementation ability, engineering leadership, or just darn good timing?
I think how people define superconductivity varies greatly in discussions.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing if we concentrated our efforts on proving zero resistance first. IMO, a “super conductor” should only be characterized as a material with zero resistance under certain conditions. Everything else should not be a requirement, but more like a side-effect that had been observed to go along (such as diamagnetism through Meisner effect).

Hopefully that will destigmatize future research efforts in both directions, namely towards finding zero resistance materials and those exhibiting diamagnetism.

The worst thing we can do to science is going on a witch hunt. Curiosity powers this discipline. We don’t need for encourage all crazy theories but discouraging that line of thinking entirely will lead to fewer new discoveries.

Fear driven science isn’t science at all.
