Did you mean english speaking countries? Because most European countries (that I would assume are part of the "West") require unicode support as names and last names include non-ASCII letters.

Also, if you work for a "regional company" in Virginia and you don't support unicode you're likely excluding 11.5% of the Latino population that do make use of non-ASCII characters in their names and Asians, that are 7% of the population. So, yes, it is a serious professional failure to do that, even in "Virginia".

"Progressive" are pro-crime, as demonstrated by their victim-blaming and trite phrases like "the optimal amount of crime in a is non-zero".
Teslas tend to meet their EPA ratings if you drive them like the EPA cycle, ie average speed around 45mph in mixed driving, or cruising around 60-65mph on back roads. Mostly the EPA test cycle is not very representative of interstate highway speeds.

> First, the Dockerfile file format for declaratively describing a machine (operating system, installed packages, processes, etc).

I have a hard time calling Dockerfile declarative when the RUN statement literally runs a sequence of user provided shell commands in a container. Is a shell script declarative or imperative?

It is structured and mostly results in an easy to understand set of instructions to create a container image. But it is a set of instructions and you can shoot yourself in the foot (especially with reproducibility)
And everyone else would find it impossible.

Hence the headlong rush to implement regulatory capture.

Network effects are brutal. Austin will replace SF once Threads replaces X.
One other fun fact about numbering, the most frequently dialed exchanges, those for big cities would use the lowest numbers, e.g. downtown would be 223 for the exchange and big cities area codes 212 and so on. The reason was not for the convenience of the dialer, remember it was rotary dial way back when a lot of those first got assigned, it was because the signaling was in band so the longer it took for the dialing to happen the longer the trunk was seized. If you have ever used a rotary phone, you'll notice it takes forever to dial 909 for example. So to optimize for the network they made the most frequently used numbers, most populated places, have the lower digits.

tbh if the open-nvidia driver works for compute (which runtimes, opencl too/etc?) that pretty much neuters NVIDIA's driver licensing "this isn't allowed on gaming cards in datacenters (except mining)" shenanigans doesn't it? it's MIT/GPL2 licensed, do what the fuck you want with it?

also gives them a way to relieve pressure on the AI market. "install the open drivers bro", assuming it works.
SUVs are a nuisance to city streets period beyond environmental impact. They take up lots of space and our dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and people in smaller vehicles.

*That* is the negative externality that isn’t really discussed (or dealt with by government bodies).

We can talk about the climate some other time. But yes, you’re correct - everyone living in the modern world has comforts with negative environmental impact. There is no middle ground, either I go feral or I start killing Polar Bears.
Same thing in Arizona. What uses the most water? Alfalfa. What's that you ask? It's horse-feed. That gets transported to Saudi-Arabia.
This is a common misconception. Corporate directors do not have any legal requirement to maximize profits. Directors' fiduciary duty is not only to shareholders but to the corporate entity itself. They are required to act in the best interest of the company, and companies can have many goals other than shareholder profit. Of course money is the lifeblood for any corporation, and a powerful incentive for decision making, but there's nothing legal that forces a company to squeeze profits at the cost of all else.
Redlining is awful, but it's sad that is really the only topic of discussion in that article. I'd like to know more about how they turned out, how they were received at the time, etc.

I understand the skepticism and all, but I’ve seen something similar-ish work in South Lake Union in Seattle.

It was a wasted neighborhood, with parking lots, old motels, fast food, and a Hooters.

Two billionaires that I’m not super fond of, Paul Allen and Jeff Bezos, put a bunch of money on the line to make a pretty nice, walkable area, with restaurants and parks and whatnot. I’m glad they did.

Who knows if these people can pull this off - it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t - but I wish them the best.
There’s one weird trick to avoiding unsheltered folks in your area: build shelters (or ideally, affordable housing). Major metro areas in California hate it!
>"Real" wealth management has a lot more legal work behind it

This is just me, but if I had legal work and deep pockets, I'd hire a lawyer.

>a majority of people think that when it comes to finance they can compete on an equal level with experts who do this every day

>But if your skilled you surely save a ton of fees.

If you are "focused on wealth preservation" rather than "generating high returns", what is the need for skill?

If I won the lottery, and I just sent, say, a $500M check to a regular discount broker and bought an index fund, is someone going to take it away from me? Are the wealth management divisions of every podunk bank and credit union there for a reason? Would I need to hire "protection"?

Warren Buffett famously said he "upon his passing, has directed the trustee for his wife’s benefit to “put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund.”

And Barack Obama reportedly put all his assets in government bonds when he became President to avoid conflicts of interest.

Obviously not everyone takes this sort of simple approach, but some famous examples seem to prove it's possible.
Do you have any information on electrically-powered drone boats? Or information that they are electrically powered at all? Evidence I'm finding is that they'r e based on combustion motors.

I'm going to assume that those are low-speed at best. Water transport is efficient at scale, but has tremendous drag, and electric boats (of a non-nuclear sort) will tend to be quite slow.

WWII-era diesel-electric submarines typically have a top speed of less than 10 knots submerged on battery power, as compared with 20 kt surfaced (or at snorkel depth), and in excess of 25 kt for nuclear powered submarines.

Though on writing this I'm noting that the Swedish Gotland-class submarine reports 20 kt submerged on batteries, though only 5 kt on air-independent propulsion (AIP), a Stirling-cycle engine design.

I'm finding very little on UA drone ships / unmanned surface vehicles (USV), but this CNN report shows a still photo of one generating a considerable wake, which I'd estimate shows at least a 15-20 kt speed and possibly greater. The copy reads "faster than anything on the Black Sea". I still suspect that stealth and battery limitations would make lower-speed operations far more common, particularly where the hull could hide from radar or other detection in wave chop.

<https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/30/europe/ukraine-drones-black-s...>

The accompanying video seems to indicate engine noise, which would indicate combustion-based propulsion. Given that the explosive payload is 300 kg of explosive, and in the Kerch Bridge attack, 1 tonne of high explosive (HE), as well as the extended range of the missions (Odessa to the Sea of Azov), I'd expect that any battery capacity would be limited at best. Fuel, on the other hand, would help enhance explosions and seems far more likely.

Very clear piston motor noises here, I'd estimate 25--50 HP or greater motor:

(25 HP on a light planing hull will give you a pretty impressive top speed, anything above that is gravy.)

This schematic suggests water-jet engines based on a Sea-Doo:

The unusual requirements to actually pay 75 are not explicitly defined anywhere that I’ve found and I’ve read almost all the fine print if not all of it. This is plainly false advertising. If I go to a grocery store and everything is labeled one price but I get charged 10% more because I’m paying with a card and the only notice is a little sign hanging near the bathrooms down a disgusting hallway no guest goes down, then the bad faith checkbox notice posting is prima facie evidence of intent to defraud. This could be successfully prosecuted under federal wire fraud statutes, considering the litany of more tenuous precedent thanks to our war on drugs, if anyone with real power in this country had a spine or belief in justice.
Yes, my car is rated for 310 miles, in reality it gets close to that at 60-65mph, and is closer to 260mi at 80mph.

But on a road trip I am usually charging from 5-8% up to 50-60% and then moving on. This uses the fastest part of the battery charging curve, takes about 15 minutes, and gives enough charge for 2 hours of driving at interstate speeds before the next stop.
I don't see why the same restrictions to buy a firearm shouldn't apply to pornography, namely:

- ID required

- a half hour or more background check by a licensed dealer

- while it can be purchased online, said dealer must physically be present to hand possession of the material

- A prohibition to certain material, country wide

- individual states impose further restrictions on the material.

Im sorry, but just as I see no reason why an 11 year old should walk out of a store with a firearm, I also dont see a compelling reason why an 11 year old (the average age of a first time porn user) should freely be allowed to watch a woman be savagely sodomized by a group of men as is the case on a typical porn site's homepage.

EDIT: Oh, and states should be allowed to make databases of porn consumer's preferences and habitually leak them for their neighbors to know, just like NY did
Going after things that are technically anti-competitive, but realistically aren't particularly major, is a problem. Everyone thinks "yep we're doing our job, making a difference!" and stops there.

Like a government going after tax evasion "we stopped Frank from claiming an air freshener in his car, so we're saving the economy!" while Facebook farms billions in profits offshore.

Fixing something small has the risk of creating a facades of activity/effectiveness when in reality its still 90% broken.
California is dying. Climate change is killing it. It’s not a growth state, unless perhaps you’re counting the homeless population.
Grew up on the Eastside (of Seattle) in the SHorewood exchange. Learned our number as starting with "SH".

It was kind of fun when the first two digits of a number gave you a pretty decent idea of where someone was.
That's already the case, just not the default. "ls -ld a*b file1.*" will use common way of getting files -- the glob expression; and "ls" will only be used to format the file list nicely.

Except turns out people don't like to type extra characters, so the most common case, "ls -d *" is just "ls".

Yes, shells (and command-line interface) have shortcuts to simplify typing. It's a feature, not a bug. I want to be able to type "ls -t" instead of "ls --sort=time", and any shell replacement which does not offer former option is doomed to fail.
The prefix names they offered are key to the joke:

There are a lot of place just like this that already exist in the US. Travel to the Midwest you will find towns and cities with this vision already in place.

Believe or not, but the majority of companies in the US respect the place they operate despite what you might think.

I was thinking the same thing. I know that being a heavy equipment operator is probably mind numbingly boring a lot of the time, but this particular job looks like it would have been incredibly satisfying.

No, no, I think you're missing the point. Mathematics is such that all mathematicians, in particular Brouwer and Hilbert, will read a proof and say "yes, this follows" or "no, it doesn't follow". The agreement is on the argumentation, i.e. what can be said given a set of assumptions. This doesn't mean there are no disagreements in the Philosophy of Mathematics. The place Brouwer and Hilbert disagrees is about what can be assumed at all times. The disagreement is on the foundation that mathematics lies on. This is also not the only disagreement, there are various models of what mathematics really is. You can ask N philosophers of mathematics (who are also trained in math) about a proof and they'll all agree that the mechanism of the proof follows. What they may disagree on is whether the assumptions are sound, and what "mathematics" really is. Some will focus on the social aspect and point out that "proof" ultimately means "convinces all mathematicians". Some will focus on the psychological aspect. Some will push mathematics outside of material realm etc etc.
How is it different than the Irvine company, which is incredibly successful?
If it does, then Adobe would have commissioned or acquired the license.
In either case they would have _paid_ someone to get those images.

It is very unlikely Adobe would be shipping their software with copyrighted material without paying for them first.
I'd love to help but I'm not sure what words you're struggling with. "Could", perhaps? Or is it just the hypothetical nature of the question and answer that is not talking about a specific person's complete life situation, but responding to someone moaning about how terrible life is because "the rich guys", that bypassed you?
Then get ready to throw out most of history, because that's all we have.

Sharing VirtioFS "chroots" that live on top of ZFS is golden to simplify backup strategies & reduce bloat.. while still being able to maintain workload and network isolation.

I'm not backing up entire VMs through ZFS snapshots nor VM snapshots, and don't need a ZFS-enables backup target either. I'm merely backing up the relevant files (e.g. compose stack definitions, config files, data files) that are in the chroot, from the VM host, to GDrive, using popular tooling such as duplicacy.
Semi offtopic, but don't pretend you're making an acronym when the letters aren't the first ones in each word.

Or, as I like to call it, SOUNDYMAREHEATRONER.
I believe you are wrong there. Transformative art requires no licensing as long as it falls under fair use.

I can quote a book in my article without licensing the quote from the author. I can clip eyebrows off of copyrighted magazine portraits and assemble them into a eyebrow version of some famous art piece and never have to license a thing. I can take screenshots of copyrighted YouTube videos and assemble a "shirts of YouTubers" that I lasso tool'd and collaged together and create an entirely new copyrighted work without having to license a thing. I can take a photo of a street which contains an art gallery and copyrighted art can appear in my photo without having to license anything from the artist. Fair use would cover taking 1 out of 1 million pixels and assembling it into a new image if a human were to perform that action.
Safety isn’t the only consideration. Fully autonomous vehicles that let you close your eyes and not pay attention are worth a slight decrease in safety, just as most people consider driving faster than the posted speed limit to be worthwhile.
Another reason to do this is because it's very easy to back up the entire VM using backup methods that are going to be considerably faster because they're backing up one big file rather than thousands/millions of individual files. And once backed up you have a single snapshot with integrity.
As long as you interact with others' software, the chances are, you will have to read bash in the future. So sure, you can learn fish, but you will likely have to learn some bash (or even sh) anyway. Might as well start from common option.
This point is of the utmost importance from a public policymaking perspective. Laws such as these are easy to craft now and difficult to change later. I feel like we are previewing an unfolding disaster here.

The future will clearly yield a class of "beings" striving for some degree of indistinguishability from or coexistence with humans. Proposals that discriminate --literally discriminate -- without respect for the principles of universality and equal treatment under law are creating and condemning a marginalized group before it even reaches maturity. This is an old and tired theme repeated through history. Let's foresee this and not get it wrong.

Happy to see this on HN! I'm one of the co-founders @ Phylum.

We actively monitor and report on malware and software supply chain attacks across multiple ecosystems. Most notably, we were the first to identify and report on attacks carried out by North Korean state actors in NPM [1], prevented an early typosquat campaign against Rust developers on crates.io [2] and recently a faux email validation utility with a fairly complicated attack chain [3].

We've been monitoring npm the longest, and while I wouldn't classify this particular attack as complex or sophisticated, it's interesting in that it continues the trend of targeting build systems (and more generally, developers).

Our goal is to help clean up as many of these registries as possible, and to provide developers with the tooling to better protect themselves from attack. In doing so, we're open sourcing as many things as we can. We recently open sourced our sandbox [4] that helps lock down disk/networking/env during process execution and have baked this into our open source cli so you can do things like:

phylum npm install <pkg>

To be clear, this particular package did not execute code during install, so the sandbox wouldn't have come into play, but it would have been blocked by the pre-check against Phylum's API.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback on our extensions and suggestions for improving our sandbox! We recently had a few individuals submit some great issues and suggestions, which we absolutely loved receiving.

Happy to answer any questions about software supply chain attacks or security in general!

I grew up in rural Minnesota (half-hour drive to the nearest grocery store) and currently live in rural Washington (about the same drive for food that we or our neighbors don't grow or raise), and in between I lived in cities. A suburb is the last place I'd want to live, in part because I love walking as transportation. Vehicles are only tools to me, never toys (not to say I have not experienced the thrill of zipping 70mph across a field on a snow machine, just that I have no interest in ever doing that again). I try to live and let live, and let people like what they like, but these big shiny toy trucks (macro machines for man-children who used to play with Micro Machines) get stuck in my craw:

"The people who drive them often live in suburbs and have big, clean garages full of all-terrain vehicles that they call “toys” next to a row of shiny helmets, a very good option I didn’t have as I drove three-wheelers from one pasture to another with buckets of feed."
Avoiding all of those things makes you a safer driver, but you have to remember the most important thing on the road, you will be hit by some other driver, and they could easily be doing any or all of those things.
I don't know if this is the ideal takeaway. Otherwise, we should all prioritize making our products flimsier and more expensive.

I think it's just a straightforward failure of creativity — or, even more plainly, a failure to understand their customer. They had a great product, which led to a loyal following — why not expand into adjacent markets?

The cruel irony is that their product was related to something that's extremely disposable. Why not get into the business of coffee beans? Why not partner with interesting coffee growers? Subscription businesses have been huge for decades, now — why not offer consumers the ability to buy an espresso bean subscription to go with their Mokapot, thereby generating a reliable recurring revenue stream?

A glimpse at their Wikipedia page [1] suggests they never even tried to branch out from the small, comfortable niche of cookware.
