Why do you think books have a finite value divisible by the number of readers they get? That sounds like a very odd claim to me.

Let's say there are two universes U1 and U2 and a book A which is identical in both. In U1, book A gets 100 readers, while the same book in U2 gets 1000 readers. I think most people would say that the book has the same value in both universes, independent of how many read it.

Maybe your thought process involves the physical condition of a book (there is more wear and tear as it passes through more readers), but I'd like to understand your point of view.

Some domains just don't have these issues, like note taking where data is small and there are many acceptable ways to handle conflicts, like backup files and three way merges.

Maybe the question is less "How to make this work local first" and more "How to squash down the problem domain into something that just naturally fits with local first"?

I wish we had something like an embeddable version of SyncThing, that had incoming file change notifications, conflict handler plugins, and partial sync capabilities, and an easy cloud storage option.

I think most everything I've ever wanted to p2pify could probably be built on top of that, except social media which is a separate really hard thing.

> What exactly is an 'executive parliament'?

Sorry - I was being sloppy and made-up a term that at-the-time made sense to me but I didn't proofread my post...

But I was referring to any parliamentary system where executive power is held by (a subset of) the members of that parliament (i.e. how the PM's cabinet's members are MPs) - basically what Canada and the UK has, for example.

> In addition, we don’t intend to capture or count installs for QA testing.

How will this be counted? If via some telemetry running as part of the game/runtime, could an attacker pretend that your game has suddenly has a million installs and get a small developer in trouble?
The idea is to make it potent enough to affect the behaviour of those 95% of the population that's responsible for 75% of the emissions (I made up that number, happy to be corrected) and whose behavior you can affect with economical nudging. No, they won't like that part.

But hopefully the extra income will soften the blow. The idea being that with it, you can either afford some of the high-emission-behavior you were used to. Or you can afford more of the low-emission-behavior than you were used to. Comparatively a lot more, because it's both taxed lower and you have extra income.

It’s not obvious today, but at the time that movie was released, David Lightman’s computer hardware was already “retro”. By 1983, the IMSAI was old, and 8” floppies had been replaced with 5” floppies.

The intention was to show that David, as a school kid, couldn’t afford high-end equipment and was using hand-me-down, or second hand equipment.

To most viewers today, that distinction is lost, as it’s all almost equally in the past.

Also, for even things like physics there are many simple ways to do things. Take Towerfall's arcade physics for example[1]. In under 100 lines you can create the basis for your platformer game. Sure, it's not just pluggable into other pre-existing solutions, ie tile maps, but at least you aren't endlessly hacking all over the place to tweak Unity's physics into submission to get the controls feeling right for your simple 2d game. There is a massive wealth of gamedev knowledge that doesn't seem utilised to its potential because existing engines want sell their pre-canned solutions. I think what the gamedev scene needs are more tools like LDTK[2], with more thought given to how such tools could interop, and a better selection of low level rendering libraries (like Monogame and Raylib) with very robust cross platform support and dead simple build systems (or none at all).

I use a very obscure library called Kha[3] and it has by far and away the best performance for 2d rendering that I have encountered. It is amazing what you can do with just a very basic immediate mode ui library called Zui[4]. I think it is shitty advice to say that you are either building an engine or game. This advice would be applicable if you are building a general purpose game engine, not the highly specific and bespoke engine used for you own game. Your game and your engine are basically the same thing and you take many shortcuts, make many compromises, and build out a rough and minimalistic "editor" used just by your small teams (or yourself) to get the job done.

No-one has interest in Russia losing in a way that would cause instability within Russia up to possibly a civil war. No-one wants to see the return of the chaos of the 90s, including risk of nuclear dissemination.

The continuation of the war also suits interests, especially for the US, broadly by ensuring a continuing split between Russia and Europe and by creating headaches for China, as well as, of course, keeping Russia isolated and weakened.

I've heard a few people theorize about why Android exploits seem to pay more. The theory is that Android is 1) very fragmented, with each manufacturer having different versions and modifications and 2) updates are much slower/non existent.

To get the top payout, you'd need to come up with something that works across all manufacturers versions of Android and probably across 4 or 5 major versions. You might be able to find an exploit for all Androids running version x, but if that version only has 10% of the android market, you wouldn't get a full payout.

iOS users tend to heavily be on the latest version, or one version behind at most. As an example, most recent iOS exploits in the wild seem to be using iMessages. On iOS, you can focus your efforts at one thing. On Android? Your surface area is much smaller because each manufacturer is going to be shipping their own messenger app, for example.
Ask HN: Do I have a Linux bootkit?
Lately I noticed my laptop has been acting weirdly, and have been looking for causes. By using nethogs I noticed that my system makes connections to hosting companies, mainly in Germany, from a root account. These entries typically look like this:

? root 10.138.153.2:53498-68.235.39.11:80 tzulo, inc
? root 10.138.153.2:53156-104.26.5.15:443 Cloudflare

? root 10.132.193.74:56512-199.232.53.91:443 Fastly, Inc

It goes both ways, once sending, once receiving. For example when I woken it up from sleep, I had a dozen hosts making connection to my laptop and sending some data. I don't know what, because I'm not knowledgable enough to investigate.

But the weirdest part is, I upgraded and downgraded the BIOS, reinstalled the system, and even created live bootable usb stick from a fresh sha verified ISO, and this persists. Both my laptop and desktop are affected. I had only tried Linux Mint and PopOS. I have no access to another computer to create live usb stick on it to see if it still be affected, but I have suspicion this is UEFI based rootkit. What the hell is that?

Hella cool.
I was once pulled on to a small unity mobile game that was being released by a small studio in the iPhone 4 days to help fix performance issues. After looking at the frame capture, I could see that the entire scene was being rendered about 5 times per frame from different angles. Turns out the team had a bunch of cameras enabled, but because they only saw the rendering from the last camera, they just edited that one.

I sometimes think Unity makes making games TOO easy, and you end up with people that have no technical knowledge of the way games work so they can’t fix/diagnose the most basic things. Obviously the game runs slower when you render the scene 5 times, but they didn’t even think to open a frame capture tool.

The fix for the issue that plagued them for months, was to uncheck the ‘enabled’ box for these unused cameras. Probably took 30mins to diagnose and fix.

Apologies, I misunderstood your question. I interpreted your question as a dismissive general response, but it appears that it was a legitimate question about a specific thing.
German driver's licences don't normally have addresses on them. You can easily find example pictures of them with an image search on the web.

> If legal actions were to occur involving an average person, how does that person get notified?

The authorities send you a letter at the address that's registered with them (if you have one and they have one). That system is just completely independent of driver's licenses.

Your government ID card and passport do have your address on them (if you have one).

https://icwb.com/de/keine-meldeadresse and https://praxistipps.focus.de/meldeadresse-ohne-wohnung-das-s... are two random website about how to deal with the system, if you don't have a fixed address.

See also https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einwohnermeldeamt

> How would you be notified?

Interestingly, I also don't have a fixed address in Germany, because I haven't lived there in a while.

Officially, you need to tell them that you are leaving, but for the longest time I did not. (Mostly out of laziness.) They tracked me down once in Singapore to remind me to pay back my student loans, and I dutifully complied.

My passport shows my Australian address, because that's where I lived when I last had to renew that document. (And it also only shows that I lived in Sydney without any further details. German addresses would tell to the street and number etc.)

---

Just to summarize: Germany does have many of the same issues in general (but the exact details vary). It just so happens that in Germany this system does not intersect (much) with driver's licenses.

Mostly because Driver's licenses are not used as general ID cards in Germany.
Not everywhere in Europe. It varies by country.

Now as different countries had different policies for decades now, we can compare the health outcomes of these policies. My personal opinion is that the rules can be relaxed in the US, but I don’t have all the data and am not a policy expert.
What's the difference with regards to annexing or not annexing?

You storm into a country, you kill a lot of people, repeatedly, you do not care about these people in the slightest, you bomb weddings for a decade, you put up whatever government that you want there. But at least you did not annex the country, i.e. did not take responsibility for it and its citizens.

It is also "not a genocide", say you.

It's a totally different thing.

That's the question, though. The NSA is known to have strongly conflicting objectives. On the one hand, they're supposed to secure US government devices and sometimes assist US companies in securing devices. On the other hand, they're supposed to surveil foreign citizens using such devices and the devices of US citizens who communicate with foreign citizens, as well as assisting other US agencies in doing that.

In a nutshell, whether they will increase or subvert your security depends on factors outside of your control. But unless they have found ways of surveilling foreigners without compromising the security of any Apple device, it's almost certain that they won't disclose their own 0-day exploits to Apple.

Well the goal is to measure the correction rate within the bounds of ethics, but the question is how accurate the result would be without an RCT. Intuitively I would hope it's accurate, but how would you know without an experiment actually doing it? How do you know there aren't confounding factors greatly skewing the result?

I suppose it depends where in Europe. I spend most of my time in the south and east -- where, e.g., Serbia doesn't even have a prescription system. You can literally buy whatever you want, and doctors won't write you a formal prescription -- they'll give you some product names to pass along to the pharmacist. Bulgaria and other Balkan countries are similar, which is why they're so popular with steroid users and dealers. (I can confirm that you can buy testosterone and other bodybuilding drugs without a prescription, and without any fuss.)

In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, it's mixed, but generally _much_ more relaxed than the US. In many cases, even if a prescription is "required," pharmacists won't stand on principle.

I realize that one can't generalize across the entire continent, but there are certainly regions where things are more like Thailand or China than they're like the USA. And it's really no big deal.
Most of the time: You rest. Most folks have sick days that they can use to stay home and recover. If you need more than a couple of days, go to the doctor.

And honestly, that takes care of a large portion of the medication. I bought it in the US to have the ability to survive a workday: IF I'm staying home and resting and sleeping, I tend to need less of the stuff for a minor ailment.

They do sell a few things in the pharmacies here (Norway) that help, mostly with pain and to do things like dry your nose (nose spray, not as many pills) and loosen up phlem. You can get allergy medicine. And so on.

And honestly, I worked at a pharmacy for 8 or 10 years in the US and there is only a handful of drugs OTC there, too - but there are more brands and more products that have multiple drugs in the same dose. The drugs just differ at times. US stores sell the pseudoscience as well (It angers me, but it isn't just one place doing it, which is the point).

Many of the pharmacies here are open longer than business hours, but it also doesn't always matter. The doctor offices tend to close at 3pm, before the pharmacies. If you are expected to stay home from work, you can get to the pharmacy.
Another view of what a utopia/golden age might look like:

You're dodging the question: what would you do?

Also, we are too kind to some classics out of nostalgia perhaps. I've been greatly disappointed by top rated classic spy and sci-fi novels. The kind of storytelling people got away with 50 years ago really doesn't work anymore today. Think of bad pacing, characters without depth, lazy stereotyping, deus ex machinas.

So on the one hand recency bias results in us giving undue attention to new books. On the other hand we are too forgiving to classics. There is no lesson here. Finding the right books to read is hard and you can't trust reviews.
