It seems that Western society is divided over the question as to whether or not employers have some broader duty of care to their employees beyond the economic arrangement of employment.

If the CEO of a factory had to sell half their maintenance-hungry machines to balance the budget, do they owe it to the sold or retained machines to take a pay cut so they "share in the harm of the layoffs"?

The factory machine example is silly because they are machines and offensive because many people would agree that employees are very much not machines.
For whatever reason, Domain Fronting is considered more of an attack behavior, used by red teamers and penetration testers. Doubling down on that behavior likely didn't seem as appealing from a PR perspective.

I don't understand why this attitude is so pervasive nowadays. in my opinion, curiosity about one's craft's history is a crucial part of the hacker spirit. I can't imagine, for example, never having used a landline, yet not finding phreaking to be incredibly interesting to learn more about, even though it's about as far from practical knowledge today as it could be.

did we mess up somewhere and fail to convey this aspect of the hacker spirit to the youth? or are things just changing too rapidly?

No they get two. Just as Wyoming, which is how the country has always worked and is the only reason the country exists in the first place. I’ve no idea where you pulled “1.3” from but this has always been and remains such an insufferable talking point from left leaning people, the United States is just that, a republican union of states, larger states specifically should not be able to impose their rule on smaller states.

Asking because I am on that team :)

I went through the same hiring process and had a positive experience at every stage. I had a strong competing offer but went with the JAX team at NVIDIA.

I'll pass it along as feedback.
Yes but you would have to do that from top down. You can't shine a spot light on the back of a person's head to blind them. Not to mention the tricks they use to make RF signals directional to both send and receive.

When I tested out of high school, one of the test questions gave you a list of planets and their diameters.

The multiple choice question was: which of these answers lists the planets in order from smallest to largest diameter?

This was for a high school diploma equivalent! I was stumped for a while wondering if I was understanding the question correctly.

Anyway, I passed the test, but the fact this question was on there gave me serious doubts as to the general skill of the populace. I'm a fan of RCV over the current system, but I know it's going to trip a lot of people up.

Yeah, I think you & ghaff have the right idea. But even Reagan didn't touch this one. Much political pain, not much gain.
The culprit could be Instagram. Check this video out, iPhonedo measuring the phone temperature when running Instagram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6X2ZIkYFsQ
that's called jamming and was addressed by the comment. if you wear very narrow blinders and point your face right at where you want to look, then the enemy needs to install their spotlight right ahead of you instead of just anywhere in front.
I'd actually refine it to "displacing people by force when those people wouldn't have displaced you had the roles been switched". Otherwise the displacers don't have the moral high ground, seems to me. They just got lucky vs. the displacees.
I'm with you. Still on my iPhone 11 (first iPhone I ever bought after years of running my previous Samsung phone into the ground) and zero inclination to upgrade. My wife has the same phone and will iPhone talk about her mom's new Samsung phone takes nicer pictures but like...that's it? Pictures look slightly better - to be fair she's an amateur photographer so she sees things that are far less consquential to me so I see where she's coming from - but not brand-new-$1200 device better.
Are you talking about the micro-HDMI ports? Because the USB ports in the pictures are fairly clearly USB-A, except for the power which is USB-C.
> How exactly are they different from Apple, then

Because Apple sells the highest security mass market consumer device ever made? Because Apple brought easy to use, end to end encryption to the masses with iMessage?

No clue what your point here is besides regurgitating some non-specific conspiracy theory about the extent of Apple’s cooperation with the government.

> That's the Free Market's job.

Regulation is not the free market’s job, as you evidently believe since you are so excited about digital markets regulation.

Maybe they could start by not categorizing wood pellets shipped across the Atlantic and produced from strip mining forests in southeastern United States as “green energy.”

> Or as effective as their USB-C regulation

How was USB-C regulation effective? Yeah Apple complied, but are customers’ lives better? In aggregate? By what metric? I for one had to buy a new iPhone cable for the first time in half a decade to connect my phone to my car. By its stated aims, the regulation was not effective in my case.
They are the same thing? If a majority refuses to buy new products due to bad QA it does effectively blame the company for bad QA

Buses are usually the cheaper inferior option. While bus service doesn't inherently suck, the type of decision making that chooses buses to minimize cost will usually cost optimize every portion of a bus network until the experience suffers. Dedicated lanes are not provided so buses get stuck in traffic. Bus stops without rain shelters or even a bench (versus full stations). Operating budgets get cut and then the interval between buses goes to 30 min. Service after 10 p.m. gets cut.

The bus networks that don't suck are usually called "shuttles" and are underwritten by tourism districts, airports, and theme park operators.
Number is a bit high but may be counting GPS, and EU GPS satellites you would have to block. You can "see" 4-12 GPS satellites at a time for one system. Assuming the EU system has the same style layout.

> Not much of anything has changed in the last 6. Not really. It's still basically the iPhone X with a couple of screen size options. Yeah the chips are faster on paper, and the photos have gone from really good to better, but it's a really incremental product these days

These kind of comments seem to be low effort because they don't really show an insight into what has changed. Of course, if you compare an iPhone from one year to the previous year, it may seem minor. But claiming confidently that not much has changed in six years is hyperbole. The improvements in camera, screen brightness, colors and many others strongly disagree with such claims.

> A used iPhone 13 Pro Max in great condition is about $450 these days where I a.m.

Of course, this could be a great alternative to buying a new phone since it's only two generations behind and is also a Pro model. It will do well for some more years (software wise) and probably need a battery replacement around that same time (depending on how it's been used till now).
Not really, Rust can be 1% of the codebase but by Rusts nature it is implemented the most critical paths.

Rust is insanely awesome for embedding. So you can have Python app that 90% of your team works on and embed Rust for the critical parts to optimize.

But I get your point, however Rust is one of the most discussed programming languages in the past year on HN so it must be doing something right.

Find starting point in dungeon. A* to every room. Rooms with a large distance (iter count) and with only one or two paths out (choke points, use graph to see edges) become potentials, every potential that is _far & narrow_ is flagged “enclave” with rewards increasing by distance to start.

This is one way to approach the problem. The other way is to do prefab rooms and when generating your dungeons, randomly select one or two prefab enclave rooms to throw into the shuffle. Shuffle the rooms and spread them out then connect hallways and such. This is the approach that Enter the Gungeon took.

Another approach is what @otikik describes. Tracing the walls buy assigning a value to the cells that can then be scored. Minesweeper style.

I believe the rationale is that in the LLMs’ training data, higher-quality information is available in places where people are polite. The LLM is just copying that statistical fact.
An additional problem is trust.

With any RCV method, you win because math says so. In a normal election you count.

It's basically 100% guaranteed that someone who won most first choices but lost the election will try to delegitimize the election with stupid populism.

The first and most important job of an election is to ensure peaceful transfer of power.

My favorite alternate system is approval voting. Vote any number of candidates rather than just one. Most votes wins. 5 seconds and no nerd required.
If lower bounds are reasonable for certain reasons, then it seems reasonable to apply those certain reasons to upper bounds.

I think it's deeper than that; I think the problem is app ecosystem. More and more apps that you need to use (e.g. the only way to perform 2FA with your bank) are dependent on Google/Apple services, use anti-root, anti-tampering and remote attestation techniques, making them impossible to run on free (libre) mobile OS alternatives.

Of course it would have been far more expensive for big tech to do it.
Those people simply can't contribute. But it's not because they don't want to, there isn't much to contribute towards. The swedish economy, as any corporate-socialist economy, isn't able to absorb people - unless of course they are "cheap" and two can replace one. And that's where the issue comes from. Some of those people have had enough of being an underclass and the only way out it appears is through crime. What else are they going to do? Start a business? Sell components to volvo and ikea? Those types of small businesses have been obliterated as in any country dominated by corporations. So these people can't contribute by working because there's no economic growth and can't start a business because state-private enterprises can't grow fast enough.
Still. Our company only bought it half a year ago, at least 3 of them. So no, we won’t get to enjoy it for 8 years…

Honestly this is a sign that times are relatively good. Most people of any stripe have little desire to engage in politics for its own sake, and FSF is fundamentally a political entity. When the only people participating are the radicals and crazies who make it their whole identity/want to play revolutionary, that means all the normal/reasonable people have better things to do. It's when things are so bad that the normal/reasonable people are forced to participate that you get effective political organizations.

Perhaps FSF has solved all the problems the community at large deems as worth solving.
The jellyroll li-ion batteries invented by Sony, perfected by U.S. firms, and their IP then stolen and maximized by Chinese firms (namely CATL), are an inelegant, imperfect, and in many cases fundamentally dangerous design.

You don't need to block line-of-sight to the GPS satellites to create a GPS jamming attack. You just need a more powerful emitter near enough your intended target. No need for 30 planes trying to interpose themselves between the target and satellites.

If I write "water is wet", I'm referring to the matter known as water, not the symbols that make up the English word "water".

Likewise, in this conversation, 1+1=2 is saying that if you take the idea represented by the symbol 1 and then add it to itself, the result is the idea represented by the symbol 2.

The ideas behind words and the words themselves are not equivalent.

The problem is as cartoonist Gemma Correll quipped in 2016, "the fountain of knowledge versus the geyser of crap off the internet" (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqTgBk...)

The more serious analysis is that veracity and reliability of the net are worse than they are with paper and books because the barrier to entry and distribution is effectively zero. We haven't leveraged technology to increase the quality of information, just its accessibility and cost.

The quality and veracity should be part of the mechanism.

I'm trying to propose systems that have yet to be imagined, feel free to dismiss them, it's fine.

I should probably write an article on it. But we're talking 10,000 words, probably 4-8 weeks (I'd do interviews, citations, ask for reviewers, etc.) I can't really do that here in a comment thread.

The problem with the current veracity systems is that people with bad epistemologies put us in the same place as before. If millions of people thought astrology charts and dream interpretations were more valid than germ theory than our current veracity systems would hand out medical degrees to fortune tellers.

It's insufficient. You need theory of science to take a bigger role in the design.

Moving off Windows or Azure or whatever probably isn't adequate.

All architectures based on certificate authorities are fundamentally fragile in the same way. People look at me like my head is spinning when I suggest just adding ephemeral self-signed CA root certs to deployment pipelines (or, god forbid, use SSH keys, or even symmetric keys).

However, those approaches have a much, much smaller attack surface than HTTPS or standard X.509 SSH authentication, so I'll keep recommending it.

I think the reason for the pushback is that, in this space, attack surface is roughly proportional to monetization potential.

> There are plenty of techniques the military could use to make jamming or spoofing almost impossible.

The US DOD is not as confident as you are, as they looking at backups/alternatives:

> DOD primarily relies on GPS for accurate PNT data, which is essential to effective military operations. However, multiple threats can render GPS data unavailable or inaccurate. DOD recognizes the threats to GPS and is taking steps to address them by developing more robust GPS capabilities and alternative PNT technologies. GAO was asked to review DOD's acquisition of alternative PNT technologies.

> To fully block a military unit receiving GPS, the enemy would need to have ~30 planes in the sky over the unit, between the unit and each GPS satellite, broadcasting the jamming signal. Pretty infeasible for them.

All GNSS signals live on a finite number of frequency bands: L5/E5, L2, E6, L1/E1:

> The ITU have allocated the following L-band frequencies to GNSS (bold are aeronautically used):

> *GPS, the centre frequencies are 1575.42 MHz (L1), 1227.6 MHz (L2) and 1176.45 MHz (L5).

> *GLONASS operates as frequency divisional multiple access (FDMA) and there are two operational centre frequencies 1602 MHz (L1) and 1246 MHz (L2) and at 1207.14 MHz (L3). GLONASS over this decade will also introduce Code Divisional Multiple Access (CDMA) similar to GPS.

> *GALILEO has a range of frequencies assigned in the L-band as follows:

> ** E2 – L1 – E1 – Centre frequency 1575.42 MHz (band from 1559MHz – 1591MHz).

> ** E5A – Centre frequency 1176.45 MHz (band from 1164 MHz – 1188 MHz).

That's amazing, it feels similar to people playing chess in movies (not sure if it happens in real life) without the board, just remembering the positions.
Handy tip if you’re parsing the output of a command in your programming language of choice:

output = run(
“list-cats”,
“—format”,
“%(name)s\x1f%(age)s\x1e”,
)
records = output.split(“\x1e”)
cats = dict(
r.split(“\x1f”)
for r in records
)

In reality it’s a bit fastidious to use RS and US. I tend to just use “\1” and “\2”.
