> I've always found it odd that people have such guttural reactions to cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency has been used for a huge number of scams, and generally to allow criminals launder their money and do more easily their job. All of this, and more, at a huge environmental expense.
Technically the concept is great, but the implementation and use has been mostly harmful so far.

On the other hand, I'd expect the EV to deal much better with sudden acceleration and deceleration as well as aggressive cornering. Also everything required for the car to work is low to the ground, either between the wheels or on the undercarriage, with much lower part count. Fewer things to fail, and much harder for an attacker to disable (no stereotypical "sniper shot through the engine block").

As long as you only drive short trips (e.g. airport to destination) an EV sounds like a big upgrade.
> Sorry, not even remotely close. I want to see some serious evidence.

There was this blog post of a company trying improve their clients' webpage performance by incrementally migrating them from JS to WASM/Rust: https://zaplib.com/docs/blog_post_mortem.html

In short, their idea failed. Those rewrites did not yield the "orders of magnitude" perf improvements that they were hoping for. A quote from the article:

> Rust is faster than JS in some cases, but those cases are rarer than we expected, and the performance gain is on the order of 2x some of the time, not 10x most of the time.

Having had a good deal of experience programming in JS, this doesn't surprise me. JS engines are extremely good at JIT optimizing, especially if you know what you're doing and give them code that's suitable for optimization (e.g. using mostly primitives and arrays, simple loops, avoid creating tons of intermediate data structures, etc).

IDK if any of this counts as "serious evidence". It's purely anecdotal really. But it's on par with the "evidence" presented as a counter to this.
They are maintaining backward compatibility.

"A \{variable}"

is currently invalid syntax, so it's fine to use. Something else like

"A ${variable}"

is valid syntax, so using that would break existing code.
I think he correctly diagnosed that getting money out of politics is foundational to being able to make any sort of other lasting progress. I don't know why Democrat voters don't see that as the obvious direction that needs to be pursued to the exclusion of all else.

No...the organization is behaving exactly as intended.
How do people deal with old clients? The Android app I (partially) work on can't even use JDK 8 (I learned this when trying to use Double.hash() to hash a double).

Coming from C++, where I can use C++20 and still deploy to ancient devices, I'm seriously baffled how people work with Java. Is there any way to use new JDK features in an Android app that also has to deploy to Android SDK 21 (i.e. Android 5.0 from 2014!)?

> I don't dispute that Google can terminate Brand's account under current law. My point is that the law should be changed so that they can not do that purely on the basis of accusations.

Why?

> The rule of law requires that the law and the legal process is effective.

Sure.

> If the consequences of accusations are no longer primarily decided in court, then the law becomes ineffective and even more unequal than it already is.

If the scope of the law is expanded so that every change in relations between two persons not resulting from a mutual agreement to change requires going to court, the resulting social friction will make the law more ineffective where it is.

If Brand wants to only enter into business agreeements that are framed so that the only behavioral reason for termination by the other side is a ruling by a court that he violated some law, he can insist on those terms, but that's a expensive proposition for the other party and society, and I see it as absolutely undesirable that such conditions be a legal default or, worse, effectively obligatory as a matter of law.
Same here. The server lived in our student library, there were also some very creative parody video of our university president and of various teachers that I unfortunately didn't keep.
I never have, but I've heard about things like this. Often times eBay just doesn't care they really have no incentive to care either. I've had defective items sent to me and when the seller doesn't care eBay for sure doesn't care.

The one way to make sure that everyone cares is always use a credit card when purchasing. Your credit card company works for you and they will always care. Your credit card company doesn't care about eBay or the seller or anyone else but you. File a dispute they will look at all of the evidence eBay will be required to provide counter evidence and if eBay or the seller shipped to the wrong location the credit card company will find in your favor.

Filing a dispute will also be the quickest way for eBay to take notice and attempt to resolve it outside of the dispute process. Because when you file a credit card dispute they immediately pull the money out of the seller's account and issue you a temporary credit back. That's why the credit card dispute process is the best dispute process because filing a dispute with eBay there's no monetary incentive for them to do anything. But when the credit card company yanks the money back now it hit them in their pocketbook and if they do nothing by default it'll be awarded back to you.

I have never lost a credit card dispute process but I also don't dispute very often only in legitimate cases similar to what you described. I've disputed in cases on products that the seller indicates are non returnable but what they shipped is different than what is in the pictures of their posting. The credit card company still finds in my favor and the sellers just out the money.

It's not that I don't want 4G, it's that I don't want to need 4G. Yes, 4G is more efficient for the same amount of data... but Jevons is fully active and we are consuming way more data in 4G than in 3G to the point that we are just using more and more equipment, devices, services, ...

I am proud to call myself a luddite, because contrary to popular knowledge luddites (and neo-luddites) are not technophobic but technocritics: they question whether a technological progress is also a social progress, a human progress, an environmental progress. There is little reason to believe that 4G and 5G are such.

Instacart IPO Is an Expensive Lesson for Venture Firms
Late 90s largely - we started with H2 and when H3 came out, enthusiastically switched to it as soon as the two guys who would always have friends over got their copies. They always had the latest stuff because they were upper-middle class and back then even such people would live in commie blocks, since it was free real estate, and send their kids to public schools.

H4 didn't make such a splash because even though it was better balanced, it felt like a downgrade in many respects.

I went to a different middle school so when I regained contact with my grade school friends they were already either exploring alcohol and sex or got sucked into WoW - in one case even both.

Anyway H3 left a mark on my generation thanks to its great replayability and social aspect that fit well into post-communist reality, with walkable, but hideous architecture and absent parents, majority of whom were working overtime(by western standards at least).
Fair enough, but the solution cannot be cars. Its simple geometry. Cars do not scale in cities and small spaces. Enough brainstorming would give a cycle-friendly non-car solution to this. I don't know: sprinklers + shading + narrow streets (shading) etc. Car-centric cities only make cities hotter if anything.
This is one of the most obnoxious websites I've ever seen. Why did they need to try to reinvent scrolling instead of just making their point?
I'm extremely sure it's far from the only one, and the practice is not limited to the US govt.
Thanks for all the constructive criticism on the pagination. It's an experiment I'm playing around with on my personal site (which is what they're for right?). Definitely sounds like I should have tested it on a few more devices, lol. Will work on a more readable view.

In the meantime, a few helpers:

- Scrolling "past" the end of the page will move to the next page.

- Left arrow, Right arrow will nav back and forward.

- On mobile, swiping will do the same.

- Space and enter key will nav to the next page.

Interesting to contrast this with their main competitor at Chess.com, which uses AdSense and tracks users with googletagmanager.com, sentry.io, kaxsdc.com, facebook-sdk, and other third-party data sources.

uBlock is cutting off lichess.org's Fastly CDN resources without loss of function, but is otherwise silent. Conversely, uBlock, Ghostery, and PrivacyBadger light up my browser like a Christmas tree when I visit Chess.com.

Yet another reason to prefer Lichess.
I am with you - while this might seem excessive there are enough people that have the cash and the threat model to go with it.

From what I could find the 2009 Protection version (then called high security) was more around 400k-450k€. A standard model 7 runs from ~115k up to ~145k€.
When my grandpa was navigating B24's in WWII, he saw a B24's wing flying by itself. The Japanese had set the plane on fire from nose to tail, and the body separated from the wings. The B24 has the wings on top of the fuselage, so the wings could stay together. The body, of course, fell into the clouds below, but the wings stayed aloft. And naturally, because they didn't have to carry a fuselage around, they accelerated, and lazily curved out of sight of grandpa, who thought he might have been the only person to ever see something like that (and survive to tell the tale...)
Customary (and extremely welcomed by the many postmen & women I've had the pleasure to know, my father having worked for Royal Mail / CWU) in England as well as Scotland (and I'm sure in Wales/NI too - probably elsewhere as well, and even in places where it's not customary it won't do any harm to thank people providing year round services to you with a small gift once a year!)

Also, while I agree with you that in this case (having a full postcode as well as name) it would have likely been an easy task for the local postie, Royal Mail do actually have a small team* of people who work in figuring out more tricky ones, so if a local person can't work it out for being on their beat it can be sent to the "address detectives" (great title!) to try to solve.

This is a great example of that from a year or two ago, including a few other similar stories at the end: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jan/07/lives-across...

* My knowledge is both 20 years out of date and fuzzy in my memory, so I've no clue how big a team it is nor if there's enough confusingly-addressed items to need anyone working on it full time, or if it's just one aspect in a wider set of responsibilities that a team does when needed.

Saudi Arabia is invading Yemen.

North Korea is running a giant state apparatus that lets one man lord it over tens of millions; all his whims are satisfied while they go literally hungry.

Venezuela is ruled by a dictator - millions are hungry and poor. Families torn apart by mass emigration.

I'm currently replacing my network equipment with Mikrotik, not because I believe it to be safer than Ubiquity, but because then at least it's made in the EU.

But now I'm thinking: Is it better that the US is spying on me in Europe, vs. having EU governments do it? I feel like I'd be somewhat more safe from the US, compared to if my own government decides to spy on me. Maybe I should look into Chilean network equipment, I can't imaging that they'd have much interest in my online activities.

Ok fair enough. If we stipulate that, then we just need to regulate these emissions because they are getting a free ride on externalities. We just need to say 'if you wish to dock at our port, you must have a boat that emits less than x'. The market will then adjust by building ships that are cleaner. Cost of a cruise will go up by a few bucks, problem solved.

That's actually not true. It can do nothing about M of N cryptography. (That's when a key is broken up such that there are N parts, and at least M (less than N) are required to decrypt. It doesn't matter how many rubber hoses you have, one person can fully divulge or give access to their key and it's still safe.
"People" are not a unified bloc with a consistent set of non-conflicting opinions.
A shocking number of people (edit: who implement billing related software) are unaware of how many decimal points of accuracy their local tax code requires to calculate vat or sales tax correctly. And those things are often specified in terms of arithmetic correctness.

I had our CFO stand behind me while I talked him through every step of our VAT calculations once, because he was legally responsible if I made us round it wrong, to the wrong number of digits. And had we e.g. done something grossly incompetent like used floats for those calculations it most certainly would have been wrong, but so would it if I used fewer than five digits past the decimal point or failed to round in the right direction after that.

It's usually not hard, but it requires being aware that you need to look up the right rules. And know better than using floats.
There are several videos on PH of ppl doing the deed while autopilot drives the car for them, not saying that excuses privacy concerns but this issue is complicated by a rollout of autonomous features.

I will say, as someone who values FOSS - if you see areas in your app that don't feel super proprietary and that you can library-out - that puts forward good will to people like me.

Ideally your app would be all FOSS components and i pay for the glue to tie it all together, but i've seen that become too easy to knock-off. Depends on the app of course. Still, FOSSing parts can do a fair amount of good will to the FOSS crowd, imo.

Man, reminds me of my first work project, we rebuilt the time clock in 2006 for our department. I knew about inaccuracies in floating math so I thought I was taking precautions, but in the end my first native PHP float implementation introduced enough drift in just the hours field that we'd lose $40 a year. Rebuilt for the Decimal object and it lasted long enough until the entire organization bought it's own COTS solution.

Are you kidding? WaPo serves the intelligence community.

>After creation of the CIA in 1947, it enjoyed direct collaboration with many U.S. news organizations. But the agency faced a major challenge in October 1977, when—soon after leaving the Washington Post—famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein provided an extensive exposé in Rolling Stone.

Citing CIA documents, Bernstein wrote that during the previous 25 years “more than 400 American journalists…have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency.” He added: “The history of the CIA’s involvement with the American press continues to be shrouded by an official policy of obfuscation and deception.”

Bernstein’s story tarnished the reputations of many journalists and media institutions, including the Washington Post and New York Times. While the CIA’s mission was widely assumed to involve “obfuscation and deception,” the mission of the nation’s finest newspapers was ostensibly the opposite.

Android doesn’t use proper Java, it runs their own bastard child of it. You can sometimes get away with byte code desugaring of more modern features sometimes, and it has been getting better recently, but it is far from ideal.
It is fair to think that if the CIA is compromising US companies, then China is likely doing the same to Chinese companies. To assume otherwise is wishful thinking.

I guess we might as well not bother with passwords either or disk encryption either. After all other exploits exist and there's not point protecting against any attack vector unless all are covered.

Lots of people believe that. They believe truthfully you can get to the level of AWS, MS, Google, Facebook or Apple whilst standing up to the nations that host those companies. I've walked into government employees in the hallways of tiny ISPs, I see no reason to believe at all that larger companies are any different except for when easier backdoors have been installed.

In the JEP (https://openjdk.org/jeps/430) there is a bunch of prior art:

Scala s"$x plus $y equals ${x + y}"

Kotlin "$x plus $y equals ${x + y}"
JavaScript `${x} plus ${y} equals ${x + y}`
Ruby "#{x} plus #{y} equals #{x + y}"
Swift "\(x) plus \(y) equals \(x + y)"

Is any of those actually better? You have a non-existing better suggestion that works in the same cases they outline in the JEP?

I think the following is the main part to keep in mind:
