The ADL is getting advertisers to drop Twitter since Twitter won't delete the posts they don't like. That seems like action to me. Also the ADL and similar orgs had a direct line of access to content moderation teams in the previous twitter leadership.

Getting companies to not delete posts if they want to not be held liable for stuff their users posts helps prevent this issue.
This story ... was really good. I feel funny stories like these are way to rare today. They used to be way more common.

I wonder if ReiserFS would have suffered as much from the murder if it hadn't borne Reiser's name.

After all he was the lead dev but not the only person who worked on it. But I can imagine nobody wanted to take on a project with his name.

Perjury is only if you make a statement under oath knowing it to be a lie. The DMCA doesn't require you by statute to tell the truth. As long as you tell the truth under oath on the witness stand, if it got that far, then you'd be fine from a criminal prosecution perspective.

Of course, you'd probably get counter-sued for a number of civil torts for being a fuckhead.
I strongly suspect that regulation at the IoT product level will have a very small practical impact because I think its largely targeting the wrong issue. The vast majority of the vulnerabilities aren't coming from the manufacturer, many of them are making relatively small changes to a reference design provided by a company like Broadcom (which is notorious for exactly the behavior I'm about to describe).

The reference design problem is an issue where a manufacturer like Broadcom creates a specialized chip. To use this chip they create a "reference driver" for it, package it in a custom firmware, then will never update that reference software. I've worked building internet routers for homes and small business and there are pieces of software we couldn't touch because they had been modified and only the fully compiled version is provided.

Broadcom passes the buck by calling it a reference design and washing their hands of it. Some upstreams do provide the source, but it's the complete source, not just the changes they made and usually without any specific reference to what the specific version they based their changes on was. Trying to tease specific changes from the Linux kernel's raw source code is quite the needle in the haystack problem.

I'm not sure how a lot of device manufacturers _could_ handle this. They tend to have very small development teams that are more electrical engineers than software engineers and usually their only directive is to make it work under an extraordinarily tight deadlines. Maybe part of the answer is they need to hire more to be more responsible... But even with experienced developers _every single hardware manufacturer_ is going to have to repeat the security fixes that companies like Broadcom refuse to fix.

I don't even know where to begin proposing a legal foundation for reference design software. I do think if the penalties and pain were strict enough at this level it would lead to a different shortcut that would be much more beneficial to the world... If Broadcom and other companies doing this kind of malicious apathy were forced to keep their reference designs up to date, my money would be that they stop doing it entirely and instead get those driver merged into the Linux kernel proper where it can be properly maintained and updated by the legion of developers that care.

The act of getting that code into the kernel would force them to improve the code and not take the shortcuts that cause so many headaches because the kernel developers gate the quality of code they produce.
Businesses that can turn profit from monkeys as employees are best businesses. Running such businesses on tightly standardized PhDs is best for its own survival. So that's what everyone does to various degrees, and it's also such a horrible thinking.
Yeah. Interesting feature. I would like to know how popular it is, or is it just more feature creep from Apple.

Or do you have a better suggestion? I will retell this story so please share.
Yeah fixed bid for most sw projects just seems dishonest and not a satisfying way to work with people. And yes, I could easily make a business out of overcharging for cookie cutter type work. Speaking in generalities, there's always exceptions.
It works well. And if they don't want to use us as the programmers, no problem, we deliver a document at the end of the first with recommend designs etc they can tak else where. T
Ah, I see.

Well, I stand by my position that the other is also a problem, but maybe this rulemaking isn't an approach that can cover that.

Don't get me wrong, this is still worth doing...

When you bill by the hour, what you’re really saying is “I have no idea if what I’m doing will have any value, and I honestly don’t care — all that matters is that I am not exposed to risk for even a single minute of my time working for you. I get paid for every minute.”

Yes, that's the point. As a software freelancer you have no responsibility to take on risk for a client company that you have no ownership in. You'd be a fool to do otherwise.

Every hourly billable contract I've signed has included a detailed scope. Contracts that very clearly delineate responsibilities and compensation. Both parties are agreeing to the value the freelancer is providing. You'd be a fool to hire a freelancer without understanding the value they provide. And as a freelancer you'd be a fool to sign a contract without clearly defined responsibilities.

The author seems to believe the method of compensation determines the value provided. But these things are orthogonal. I've worked with multi-million dollar agencies that bill by the hour. They provided a lot of value, they knew precisely the outcomes they were responsible for, and delivered those outcomes.

Blog posts like this come along every so often, usually when a freelancer discovers that there are circumstances where they can make more money on a fixed cost contract. For instance "This project will take me 40 hours. If I charge $100/hr I'll gross $4000 total. Or I could quote a fixed cost of $5000 total, and net an additional $1000".

The downside is estimating software is hard, mostly because the end product is almost always a moving target. Generally speaking, clients have a good idea of what they want. But "what they want" almost always changes as a project progresses.

The upside for the freelancer is that if the scope can be nailed down, and a client is predictable, a fixed cost model allows the freelancer to capture any additional value/profit from their productivity.

Which is why savvy businesses are fine with paying hourly rates. They want to fully capture the value of the freelancer's productivity.

In my experience, from a freelance point of view, it tends to be a wash. There are many fixed cost projects where you will come out ahead. But there are always projects with tons of scope creep, and cost increases are almost always more difficult to negotiate on fixed cost contracts. But YMMV, and there's no single correct answer.

This won’t be productive. You’re making a strawman argument.

I said there are other circumstances where civil liberties were restricted and war was a common one, not that they were justified or anything else you’ve said. Civil liberties have been restricted in past pandemics as well.

I’m not going to debate the rest of what you said because it’s a response to an argument that I didn’t make, but it’s largely wrong.
Fully agree. If some company vanishes, consumers are left holding the shit end of a broken stick. It would sure help if there were protections for those that effectively volunteer their time and effort to keep things running for others.

> kill my SSH session, and then scp or rsync the file over, and then usually SSH back into the system.

Naive question: why the need to kill the ssh session? Can't you just open another terminal window or tab (or tmux/screen tab if that's part of your workflow)
Just a warning - once you open this up you will need to be really good at handling takedowns. You will get abuse, probably quickly. This will mostly be phishing or malware sites, but there may also be CSAM.

Sure but you are missing an entire category of devices that revolve around home automation. Think light switches, dimmers, faders, plugs and door bells. These types of devices have an interface but also need IoT to be useful but not necessarily the cloud. If I install something like this in a light panel, it seems a little odd to me to "kill the IoT" of the device. It loses tremendous value. Again think of the incentives. Should we be incentivizing manufacturers to create devices that can so easily be created that lose value that I may have invested in as a part of a renovation?

Can we create/incentivize an ecosystem of IoT devices that can live without the manufacturer tying these devices to a cloud service or the Internet in general?

Let's find ways to incentivize second lives vs another renovation 5 years from now when my light switches and outlets no longer get updates.
That is along the lines of the motivation for my question. Automatic differentiation is such a natural fit with Haskell...
Manjaro / Plasma on a laptop here. Updated and upgraded as far as can be done prior to Uranos.

I really, really, really don't like Dolphin.

My biggest beef is it doesn't update folder contents in real time. I've done side-by-side comparisons with Thunar. Thunar's view changes immediately when you've done a file thing (like saved a file with an app or created a file in the terminal). my install of Dolphin just sits there.

We'll see about the file hiding feature. Hopefully it's just a setting that can be defeated as I find myself looking for temp and archived files on the reg.
That's the thing though: most IoT devices shouldn't be Internet-connected, and most definitely should not depend on a vendor cloud (or increasingly, a cloud of a different vendor that sold white-label IoT solution to the "vendor" you you bought the device from). It's an unnecessary limitation, a combination of laziness (going over cloud is easier than figuring out local-first and standardizing on some VPN solution) and abusive business (the cloud on the other side of the world is holding your Internet-connected air conditioner hostage, better play nice).

If brakes are not Internet-connected, that's mostly because they were established before Internet - and given the trends in car manufacturing in general, it's only a matter of time.

(In some sense, we're already there - if you have cloud-connected self-driving, and that self-driving can override your command to apply brakes, then your brakes are de-facto Internet-connected, even if connectivity isn't a hard dependency in all cases just yet.)

Already included in the law. That's banned. The EU's pretty good about avoiding obvious loopholes in these kinds of laws, since they usually have a long lead-time.
This is a wonderful thread, and I am so glad to see so many sharing my nightmares and some of my conclusions. I encourage folk to work together on actually filing proposals with the FCC in their format. I would gladly join on such an effort, but am too busy to lead such an effort.
I've been seeing this complaint on tons of HN posts lately. Cloudflare sucks.
The ability to run your code many places instead of learning many proprietary ISAs is its own benefit.
I doubt it, but it depends on what you mean by “significant”. Large percentages? No. Large absolute numbers? Perhaps. Significant contributors? Almost certainly.

I wish the title said "Haskell" instead of "Function Programming". I mean the two aren't interchangeable. Was actually hoping for Clojure personally.
screenshots on wayland work just fine.

as do screen recordings, if you have the right tools that support it. the problem is that apps need to be written specifically for wayland to make that work, and so many apps are broken and can't make screenshots or screen recordings. just this week i tried a few for a quick recording, and none worked. either they got sound or video but not both.

what did work was obs with the pipewire plugin. so it can be done, it's just that there are a lot of old apps that haven't been updated yet.
Again, cash in the context of the article has nothing to do with physical possession of money in a safe or something.

And, you seem to imply I don't have an understanding for how banking works. If one of your bank accounts gets yanked for fraud investigation, you shouldn't be getting all accounts frozen at all banks, outside of some government intervention involving freezing assets. If that's a situation you have to worry about, then sure maybe having physical cash matters. It doesn't for 99.999+% of people.

In the vast majority of cases, if you have an account frozen at one bank establishment, until they finish action... the rest of your money is fine at other banks. You should have plenty of time to go through the appeals process and whatnot.
If I understand correctly, the labeling will be voluntary. So, I would guess that one of the challenges here is balancing the strictness of the requirements vs. the burden to manufacturers, i.e., it can’t be too hard to implement the commitments or nobody will label their products. What are other balancing considerations that you are having to consider? This could help figure out where we can “tip the scales” in comments.
This may have some overlap/coordination with the CPSC and FTC laws regarding truth in advertising.

An ideal world would be that products marketed towards consumers would have labeling on the box, up front, of an supported until date. With a government definition of what that "support" means. Something like Google's Chromebook's Auto Update Policy (except properly displayed/communicated on the box/device) would be a good start. Nothing preventing the manufacturing from extending that date later, but it puts a line in the sand for the consumer to make a choice up front.
It seems that the article/study does not disagree with your point:

> Our results showed that reading for pleasure in early childhood can be beneficial regardless of socioeconomic status. It may also be helpful regardless of the children’s initial intelligence level.
Maybe in the 60s. Since then, it's always your parents' fault you're (whatever).

The message for the last decade has been very much don't-feel-guilt-or-shame about anything, just blame those who came before you. Doesn't matter if your parents divorced, stayed together, were overattentive, were underattentive, were poor or were rich. It's their fault you're miserable.

In reality, it's learned helplessness reinforced by social media and ongoing tech developments. Let me drive for you. Let me cook for you. Let me entertain you. Let me tell you what to believe. Let me write "your" speech for you and create "your" art for you.

It's life in captivity. Animals in cages at the zoo are always miserable.
got any data on that, or are you just using this as an opportunity to take a stab at a company you don't like?

either is fine, just be open about it.
Social democracies are not socialist, which means that workers own the means of production. Any other twisting of the word socialism is simply wrong. This changing of definitions is not helpful for both true socialists nor for those who oppose it, as both sides will misunderstand each other. If you mean to say social democratic policies such as high taxes and generous social safety nets, say so, but that is not socialism inherently.
All with none of the experience or knowledge...
The difference in attention being paid seems rather sensible to me. It's more useful information, because it's actionable. You can't alter the genetic make-up of your children post-facto, but you can nurture them.

It should. Would double check, nonetheless.
First read to your kid. Fill your house with books and let them know by example that they are fun and important.

The other advice I'd have is to take your kid to the library once a week. Let them pick out a couple books (maybe also pick up one your choosing so that you can expose them to more things - kids can be obsessive) Once they can manage a chapter book tell them they are allowed to pick whatever books they like from anywhere in the entire library. Kids love having choice and flexing agency. Don't worry if they pick up something too mature/scary/boring/whatever. Anything they want to pick really is fine, but if they don't like it they'll have to wait until next week to swap it out.

Get them their own library card as soon as you can too. Make a big deal of it. Having an official document for access to the books highlights the importance of them too.

So I'm aware of aromatic interactions in proteins and DNA <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3530875> and electron holes - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_hole> which is a quasiparticle.

Is this research then relevant to charges moving through DNA or proteins?
You really think that a personal attack on the head of state for Russia and an assistant secretary for health are equivalent? How much harassment do you think Putin would be subject to as a result of you (assuming you have the 1.3m followers the Babylon Bee has, which you don’t) attacking him?

We both know you don’t think they’re equivalent. You’re just trying to find technicalities to excuse abhorrent behaviour.

Ive spent hundreds of hours reading aloud to my kids. It's a big investment but I believe it's almost certain you'll stumble upon something that will catch their attention. It's also about family culture - if you establish the habit of reading at a certain time of day (we do it after dinner / before bed) then it's easy to stick with that over turning to other things to fill the time.

This comment makes me sad. Plan 9 is still very much alive - see 9front.org a fork that is actively maintained.

> but sadly I think it's not quite the abstraction(s) we need in the modern day.

This leads me to believe you formed this opinion without ever exploring it. Plan 9 is built for a networked world like the one we live in. Perhaps you should study it a bit more before drawing such conclusions.

I'd suggest you check out the adventuresin9 youtube channel.
Ah, the utopian dream of a world where every manufacturer gives away their intellectual secrets just so users can play tech guru. You're suggesting that companies offer up decades of R&D and risk their competitive edge, or else face 30 years of liability? With the speed at which technology evolves, we're lucky if a device is even relevant after 30 months. And let's not forget the minor detail of skyrocketing costs. Want a device built under these fantasy rules? Hope you're ready to pay through the nose—think 10 times the current price. Because nothing says 'accessible technology' like pricing out the average consumer.
If Labour was in government that cynical take would be pushed hard by British conservative media.

If you can make hydrogen and capture carbon, you have the ingredients for making plastics. It will likely be more expensive than today’s plastics, at least initially, but for critical needs like medical devices, this is totally acceptable.

You can build solar and wind power without fossil fuels, or at least not much. We are able to power large vehicles and industry with renewable energy now. Most notably, with the advent of green steel, infrastructure projects in general no longer require significant use of fossil fuels. Now to be fair, this was not known to the greenies, who thought that solar panels on the roof and an EV in the garage will magically solve everything. But this is known to those who actually study this problem. This problem is rapidly resolving itself in reality.

I cannot read a book in a short amount of time. But from the sample it is just repeating fairly simplistic arguments against green energy. It is mostly a repeat of what was being said on theoildrum.com from a while back. Even then, they were mostly wrong. These days, the few areas where they were right are also being proven wrong. It is akin to the “god of the gaps” argument, where the gaps where we didn’t know how to eliminate fossil fuel usage are constantly shrinking.
Write software that runs on old hardware - look how much tech goes in the bin because of planned obsolescence
Thats kinda glib -

One, the people who benefit from fossil fuel consumption are too diffuse to easily tamp down on.

Two, we cannot replace fossil fuels in certain applications.

Three, even all the green technology will need lubrication from something, unless we plan on moving back to whale oil (not exactly a renewable resource), we're stuck with oil based lubrication. Silicone use can be expanded, but it's not a 1:1 replacement for most oil based products. Burnable fuel is still a byproduct of this production.

Four, we cannot replace non lubricant petrochemical production at all, oil will still need to come out of the ground, and we will have fuel as a byproduct of that as well.

Fuel will continue to be available at a minimum as a byproduct of lubricant and petrochemical production, so while I think we can eliminate at least 50% of fossil fuel consumption - I just see no way to get to 100%. Getting to that 50% requires a whole lot more nuclear power than we have been willing to build.
