> SCOTUS recently rejected an appeal from a man who was arrested for making a parody FB page of his local police department

The police in Novak v. Parma were executing search and arrest warrants [1]. There was no judicial oversight in this case.

Also, Novak established (EDIT: reaffirmed) "protected speech cannot serve as the basis for probable cause." The court was unclear "whether [his] actions—deleting comments that made clear the page was fake and reposting the Department’s warning message—[were] protected speech." Very different from reading a prepared statement at a city council meeting [2].

Frontend dev, and the others I've met seem to just read a few pages on MDN and Stack and wing it from there, lol. I wish there was a good book on the engineering side of it. The UX side of it has a few good titles, but the dev side is pretty messy.
reading it closely it exemplifies everything wrong with the current job market:

> adapting our organizational structures

"free money is gone so we need to downsize"

> to improve agility and accountability,

"we don't have money nor time to nurture juniors. they are gone"

> establishing unambiguous ownership

"We're dropping risky products and specializing towards the most profitable features, ".

> and driving improved efficiency and transparency through reduced layering".

"we're making the remaining workers work more to make up for the people we let go. And cutting out some key managers, producers, and middlemen that will slow things down in the process".

I honestly see is as corpo talk to justify all the usual things that happening as of late.

I hope he wins, but if the town gets a good lawyer a quite compelling argument can be made that calling them violent without proof of violence (was there any proof of injury in custody of that football player?), pro domestic-abuse for employing an abuser(can it be proven they knew and if so, do they have grounds for dismissal without that person being convicted of a crime?) is derogatory.

If it was derogatory he could've been asked to stop. When he didn't, I imagine he could've been arrested for trespassing and all the rest (including strip searching) can be explained as "normal procedure".

I'm not arguing it is right what the town did, it is obviously very wrong. Getting his case won might not be so easy, but it definitely succeeded in highlighting the problem in that town. Will it lead to change? I'm not sure.

> I have to completely reject your proposition that non-coding roles are toxic or excess. I work with highly brilliant minds, with coding and non coding architects and one thing is very clear: the non coding architects are contribute more value to the end product than the coding principle engineers.

I reject your rejection. In my experience any architect/staff/whatever high level ivory tower guy worth anything will look for every technical opportunity they can and will often bemoan the fact that at their level most of their day involves meetings and powerpoint when they'd really like to be digging into the code.

If a sr. technical leadership position seems happy to have their day full of PowerPoints and committee meetings the most they are ever going to contribute to their field is an amusing/horrifying story on TheDailyWTF.
Dystonia- why musicians get the yips
I was so excited about WebAuthN. Part of my irritation about passkeys is that I want to like them. It's a cool idea and they could in a parallel universe somewhere be really good. I wish the people working on them weren't systematically undermining my trust in the entire concept.
Is this a sensationalist headline for Magnus Carlsen admitting to being distracted during a game? Get this junk off HN.
> Which consumer base has demanded enhanced security and convenience (for which passkeys are the proclaimed answer)? The non-tech crowd has no idea what it is and is probably just hearing about it. The tech crowd on a forum like HN seems to be mostly against it because of issues with account recovery and cross-device use that passwords don’t pose.

Yeah it's going to be mostly the tech crowd at this point, and it will filter down to non-tech people. And we will all be better off when we are all using passkeys. Looking at my girlfriend's computer her password situation is a nightmare of potentially compromised passwords, reuse of weak passwords, among other issues. Even after spending hours trying to clean it up there are still tons.

If we were in a passkey only world then no more weak passwords for her to reuse, no chance of phishing said password from her. Even if the server gets hacked there is no password to get pwned.

I really don't care what the contingent of passkey haters on here say. A lot of the discourse here isn't what it used to be. Little better than Reddit for techies.

> From what I understand, it seems like passkeys may ultimately rely on SMS OTP or similar mechanisms for account recovery. The other likely result would be losing the account forever, especially if the user is a single device one (there are billions of such people around the world).

That's not as I understand it. Why would SMS OTP be used? 100% of accounts today will already have a password, that's how you would login if you lose your only passkey device.

If/When passwords are not a thing anymore then why wouldn't the recovery use a "lost password" type flow that happens is facilitated via the account email?

> I’m going to wait it out a little longer to see how the interoperability factors play out in reality and learn from those who are braver than me.

Fair enough, but you can add a passkey to an account and your password will still work. So it's not like it will cause any harm to try it. You can even remove passkeys from an account if you really don't want to use it.

The worst thing about passkey support on Amazon is they didn't embrace it completely so you still have to go through all of the login form bullshit instead of being a one step biometric unlock that passkeys can enable.
Great project, sorry about the unavailability of cheap price data for the consumer segment.

Professional data is expensive, and one-person companies are not on the radar of data vendors and exchanges, who try to make big contracts e.g. with national banks abd brokerages, who then make that data available to their customers via Web portals. The quality of financial data isn't very good even if you pay a lot.

If your project had been a startup, you would have had to check whether your assumptions apply ahead of building out your front-end and incorporating, ideally: "Can you build it for an acceptable price?" (factoring in the data licensing cost) & "Will they buy it for the price (+ your margin) that you can build it?"

Government entities don’t generally learn a thing from being sued. The problem is that it’s not their money: it’s the taxpayers’ money, so no pain is felt. This is also the source of many other problems with government.

(Tangential) I keep saying this: if any other company without a business model as strong as Amazon was run like Amazon they'd be dead.

But for some reason execs see Amazon and think "if they can ship and utterly mediocre product and win, so can we"

My brother in Christ first build a distribution network that can deliver a million products to my place within 1 day, then you earn the right to ship an eyesore app.
>They won't come out and say "we overhired and now we are shedding our deadweight" because no one wins with that more crude statement.

to be frank, we should probably stop pretending they "overhired". That term implies that these MBAs were somehow blindsided by the imminent recession that analysts have talked about as far back as 2020 and that this wasn't an intentional strategy to maximize growth while labor was "cheap" (or at least, the money to hire labor).

This was all calculated and most companies still came out of this larger than when they entered the pandemic. It was all calculated and workers were nothing more than expendable pawns. Not much we can do about it without stronger labor laws, but that's a multi-decade battle.
Employees could have their 1on1 meetings with ChatGPT /s
Yeah, I've oversimplified a bit with this title. The more accurate statement is in the first paragraph of the article: "Solving the BB(3, 3) problem is at least as hard as solving this Collatz-like problem."

I also agree somewhat on the one trajectory vs. multiple trajectories point. However, note that (assuming we live in the world where this TM never halts) proving a single trajectory in this system is "harder" than a single trajectory in the classic Collatz conjecture. Specifically, (assuming the Collatz conjecture is true) proving any single trajectory is "simply" a finite computation. However, proving a single trajectory from the article requires showing that it never halts which will require some more fancy math!

Anywho, I don't want to oversell it. This does not prove that BB(3, 3) requires proving the Collatz conjecture or any existing well-studied open problem in Math. But I think it's sort of a "second best" result: As hard a problem akin to a well studied problem.

How hard is this Collatz-like problem? Well, let's see if anyone can solve it :)

At the end of the day regret for stuff like this only makes sense if you could have known at the time that it wouldn't pan out and you did it against your better judgement. If you made the best decision with the information you had that's all you can do, everything else is up to the gods.

This sort of outcome based thinking where you fret over past projects in hindsight with knowledge you didn't have when you had to make a choice just isn't worth bothering with. Most projects fail, most businesses do, that's just how it goes. I remember reading a blog from an ex finance guy where he pointed out that nobody was ever fired for accidentally making money from a bad trade. In our results based culture it's pretty easy to forget that we really only control the process.

What you say only makes sense in the world where printing presses have only just been invented. Copyright law, today, does not restrict only the "act of making a copy".

It restricts a whole lot of things. E.g., display, adaptation, performance — hell, even translation.

For example, under US law, a copyright holder is expressly allowed "to determine and decide how, and under what conditions, the work may be marketed, publicly displayed, reproduced, distributed, etc."

And this is just from the list of "Economic rights". Copyright also includes sth it calls "Moral rights" which has nothing to do with copies being made. If you post on Xitter claiming you wrote the LOTR books, you are technically in infringement of the moral rights of J.R.R Tolkien.

----

When you say, "I can do anything I want to it even if the copyright license forbids it as long as I don't distribute the code", you are very conveniently (and illegally) ignoring the copyright holder's exclusive right to control how their work is displayed or performed.
Sounds like the perfect recipe for corruption.

Would this be that bad?

It's essentially a case of brand dilution. Today 'Harry Potter' is a brand that has certain values. If a new Harry Potter book shows up on the shelves tomorrow I can be very sure it's a kid friendly, easy to read, book about wizards. People can feel safe buying as a present for their niece or grand child that likes Harry Potter. In this alternate future a 'Harry Potter' book could be literally anything. If that is 'good' or 'bad' is left as an exercise to the reader, but something would definitely be lost.

The only way to beat the value proposition of music streaming services is piracy. If you’re not willing to torrent then nothing will ever top Spotify. People who use these types of libraries are usually pirating at least a majority of their music if not all.

Even then, discovery is a challenge and requires a decent amount of effort to make it even approximate the level of discoverability you get with streaming services, but it is possible[0].

That said, private trackers offer a level of archival quality that you cannot get with streaming. I recently was listening to a bit of ska/rocksteady/early reggae and Spotify had abysmal coverage of old albums compared to YouTube and private trackers.

I think the best solution is probably Apple Music since you can at least fill the gaps in the service by uploading your own music, however you want to get it.

> you can write programs that only halt if arbitrary mathematical conjectures are true or false

I don't think this is quite right - you can write programs that halt iff arbitrary mathematical conjectures are provable (in a suitable system of logic/axioms such as ZFC), but there are problems (such as questions about Turing machines with a halting problem oracle[0]) for which we can't straightforwardly construct a program which halts iff they are true.

There is this belief out there that there is an either-or relationship between quality and time, but it isn't so. The quality-time tradeoff is not a straight line and there is in fact an optimal point between the two. I wish more people embraced this. There is so much bad software.
It's simpler than this still. If it runs forever (likely), then you will never be able to say anything about ZFC.

If you see it halt, ZFC is inconsistent. If you never see it halt, you CAN'T conclude anything.

But we could already do that under Gödel incompleteness, so there's nothing unusual there!

If you write down random proofs on paper and find a correct proof that leads to contradiction, you've proved ZFC inconsistent, without using BB. If you keep trying forever and never find one, you'll never be able to conclude anything at any point, just like with watching the machine run
