The author proposes a corollary to Kerckhoff's principle:

> A cryptosystem should be secure even if all the parameters, except the key, are shared across every user.

It seems that if the key counts as a parameter, then surely nonces also count, and we certainly do not want nonces to be reused. This may be why this principle is not best practice. I am quite confident that the author is well aware of this, and I agree with the general thrust of what they're saying... Perhaps another way of saying it is that where parameters can be held constant, they should be. Or to quote Daniel J. Bernstein[1] quoting Mark Twain:

> Behold, the fool saith, "Put not all thine eggs in the one basket"—which is but a manner of saying, "Scatter your money and your attention;" but the wise man saith, "Put all your eggs in the one basket and—WATCH THAT BASKET."

Ask HN: Best Solution for Chapped Lips?
Winter is approaching and I am reaching for lip balm once again. My problem is that most lip balms only help if you put them on continuously and I feel sometimes they even make things worse. Best I have tried so far was O’Keeffe’s unscented Lip Repair and Lanolin/Wool wax. Are there any other approaches? Supplements? Diet changes? Other products?

Cheers
That's because I'm still building the reddit-to-lemmy mapping, and for some cases in creating the lemmy communities themselves.

There is also the fact that the largest Lemmy instances (lemmy.world) decided to consider alien.top as a mere "reddit repost" instance and decided to defederate with it, so I can not recommend instances from there as they will not be reachable.
NYC is the one US city where trains almost make sense, but there are a ton of downsides related to cost, safety, etc. I'd love to see all those dedicated right-of-ways put to more efficient use with self-driving vehicles.
The legal limit is 9g per 30 days, and the recommended dose is 7.2g per 30 days (=240mg/day). So if both parents take the maximum dose, there is none for the kids. (3 people would need 21.6g; both parents together could buy 18g.)

Personally, I don't take it at night, so I wouldn't run into this problem, but the existence of 240mg "24 hour extended release" tablets leads me to believe that someone else must. (I'm a little jealous that they can sleep with it in their system. It would be nice!)

To expand on this, the de facto comprehensive standard for Makefile variables is the GNU standard, if only because there is no other widely used, consistent convention beyond the very small number of POSIX-defined built-in variables. The GNU project blazed the trail for portable, generic build conventions. The GNU Makefile Conventions are documented at https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Makefile-C... In practice there's a wider set of variable conventions based on or baked into GNU Make and Autotools. See, e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Implicit-...

A long time ago I put together my own little summary of applied GNU'ish conventions. See https://25thandClement.com/~william/cuda/Makefile.md.html Notably I specified LIBS instead of LDLIBS. These days I use LDLIBS. I forget why I listed LIBS, but there is some ambiguity and consistency across GNU tools. For example, pkg-config sort of ignored or simplified some older conventions (e.g. dropping CPPFLAGS and making CFLAGS do double duty) which IME wasn't for the better, at least if applied outside the domain of what pkg-config is used for.

Why use these conventions? Because such variables and their semantics will be useful for package maintainers, who won't need to spend as much time learning some bespoke convention and who often have templates for working with GNU-like builds, even when autotools aren't being used. Because they reflect decades of experience in how to write builds that in 80% of odd circumstances (including development, non-production environments) can be controlled without modifying the build rules directly. Relatedly, they're often the minimum necessary abstraction for cross-compiling (though alone not always sufficient).
Hanlon’s razor is a thought-terminating cliche in most circumstances. Malice exists very frequently, as does profit-seeking or other motives that are indistinguishable from malice, and it's not at all the same thing as occam's "don't say god did it when there's a perfectly good mortal explanation" razor.

It's essentially "memetic mimicry", where a second meme rides on the coattails of the first one, simply by obeying the overall form of the first meme so that its credibility "transfers over" to the second one. Like a common snake imitating a dangerous venomous one.

In the DEAs case it was literally confirmed to be operating on malice since at least the Nixon and Reagan years, when it was overtly and publicly wielded as a weapon to disrupt hippies and black communities, specifically. There is absolutely no reason to assume good-faith when law enforcement is involved, and it is in fact a waste of the openness of your mind to do so. Go be open-minded about something else, literally anyone deserves that more than actual literal drug cops.

> “You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Just like the use and spread of 'open-source' Linux is not dependent on any particular company, the use and spread of 'open-source' RISC-V is not dependent on any particular company.

Many Linux companies have come and gone. Linux continues to thrive.

Likewise many RISC-V companies will come and go. The architecture will live on.

I venture to predict that the many proprietary Western-originated CPU architectures will fade away in the decades to come. RISC-V (and/or its successors) will become the world-wide norm, not based in any particular part of the World.

>Where required, age assurance – which can range from declaration to inference and verication – should be risk-based, preserving users’ access to information and services, and respecting their privacy.

so it's purposfully vague. It can be anything from a checkbox you check saying "I'm 13/18/etc." to "we require a face scan or governent issued ID in order to verify you". If you believe their claim, they want to do something more towards the former except with 18+ sites. If you don't believe their claim, you probably veer more towards Techdirt's cynicism as it being sugarcoating for semi-invasive age verification:

>But… it’s not? It’s basically lobbying for age verification, just in the guise of “age assurance,” which is effectively “age verification, but if you’re a smaller company you can get it wrong some undefined amount of time, until someone sues you.” I mean, what’s here is not “lobbying against age verification,” it’s basically saying “here’s how to require age verification.”

>Secondly, why would Age Assurance hinder new companies that want to create content platforms?

Regulation. the more you need to do to get your site off the ground (and make its money back), the higher the cost. Or if they ignore/are ignorant of it they can be sued out of the race.

This can be good (GDPR requirements to protect privacy), but like everything we need to weigh if the effect is worth the outcome. I am admittedly more scrutiny on if every website over X size needs to make sure their site is "child friendly".

> I know some people still warning others off a neighborhood they were mugged in 20 years ago, but they don’t mention how long ago it was when they say it’s dangerous.

But, like, wouldn't a neighborhood with a lot of muggings be more likely to have more people doing that?

> So for instance when a group of well off people move into a depressed neighborhood, there might be the same number of muggings, but 10 times as much talk about it because these people go to the police and write to the paper about it.

That seems like a valid explanation for a single neighborhood that just started gentrifying, but seems unlikely to be common enough to disrupt the correlation that I'm talking about globally.

Perhaps the bigger picture is that the corrected pay gap - not the uncorrected pay gap - is what so societies should focus on fixing.

Which is more fair:

* A society where boys and girls are told they can't study in the field of their choice because of their gender because the government wants equal representation.

* A society where boys and girls are free to study whatever they want, and are given equal pay for equal work.

It’s even worse than this because once the idea of mass CSAM-scanning is normalized, a false accusation is immediately credible (they would know, after all…)
You can still reconcile the wrong things and have the books balance. e.g. you sell a subscription for $1. User A paid on the 1st, user B paid on the 3rd. You mistakenly reconcile user A's payment to user B's bill and vice versa. Your books still balance, but you better hope you didn't charge user A any late fees.

It takes a while to get to the point but the article eventually gives one:

>Last Monday, Google announced “a policy framework to protect children and teens online,” which was echoed by subsidiary YouTube, which posted basically the same thing, talking about it’s “principled approach for children and teenagers.” Both of these pushed not just a “principled approach” for companies to take, but a legislative model (and I hear that they’re out pushing “model bills” across legislatures as well).

And if you want google's official lede:

>Today we’re releasing our Legislative Framework to Protect Children and Teens Online. The Framework outlines some principles for laws seeking to improve online experiences and keep children and teens safer when using the internet. We hope that sharing our experiences and perspectives will advance the work of the policymakers and experts addressing these issues, and we look forward to engaging constructively with them.

in essence, they want to push out more government sanctioned age verification (or "age assurance" as Google calls it), similar to COPPA.
Exactly. I think one could argue that "gains" have yielded more successful startups.
e.g. Amazon/DoorDash - driving to the store was "fine", but ship to home = way more convenient
Uber - Waving down taxi is "fine" experience, but on demand transportation = way more convenient
Slack - communicating through email is "fine", but async messaging = more real time and productive
you're right! nothing matters and anyone should do anything they want!

The City said they were going to go for a fraud and abuse case. I have 0 experience with that subject, but I would assume there would have to be an action, or intent of an action, to make it a crime. I wonder if the data simply existing on a hard drive would be enough to convict.
Now that I think about it, I don't think I have a strong moral conviction against a judge ordering someone to delete data that contains sensitive information they received in error. Jail time and a fine? Absolutely not. Forcing them to delete (and confirming deletion)? Yes.

Tesla's Full Self Driving is driver assistance software and is not an autonomous vehicle[1].

There are rules governing autonomous vehicles in California. They must report all accidents involving their self driving vehicles[2], miles driven, disengagements,... Tesla's FSD does not follow these rules.

Tesla's marketing may imply that FSD is an autonomous vehicle. However, today, in California, these are driver assistance programs and not self driving cars.

Sometimes, things should end. Sometimes they end too soon (Farscape comes to mind [0], thankfully it did get a finale at least,) but when you keep adding on 'the additional adventures of' the risk of winding up in some form of everyplot, or just breaking canon, gets wayyyyy tooo damn high.

As a counterpoint to that, Picard Season 3 is incredibly watchable, (even RLM thought so,) I hope you try it if you haven't. It somehow does a pretty dang good job with things.

If feel like Seattle needs an all day and weekend Sounder service, more than it needs self driving robo-taxis. 1.5 hours away you might be at the edge or beyond Sounder reach so this may not help you much unless you get a local bus to your closest station, but you can probably still just drive to your closest station and not having to have to deal with driving in the city.

If the Sounder would run like the ferries do (say every hour until like 8PM and then a couple more trips before midnight) it would really take the hassle of going to the city for much more people than robo-taxis ever could.

Getting overloaded is common in stressful situations in aviation where it's often called getting behind the airplane. It's the reason we're taught to aviate, then navigate, and then communicate. It's a graceful degradation where by purposefully ignoring what's not currently most important you can focus on what's most important rather than failing at everything. For me flying gliders, the most stressful situations I've been in are winch launch rope breaks with questionable land ahead possibilities. In those cases I've never made a call that I'm entering a modified circuit. Despite a decent amount of experience, I'm just too busy.

Relatedly, gliders are really good at flying themselves. I heard a story about an aerotow where due to a miscommunication the instructor and student thought each other were on the controls. They only discovered this once the instructor praised the student for their best take-off yet. Similarly, learning to land feels like it's about doing the minimum possible. Keep the nose up and just wait. So not only are good pilots paying less attention to distracting inputs, they're also spending less effort controlling the glider on the output side.
It's impossible to say how popular the series would have been in the late 90's without the cartoons.
It'd probably still be a fantasy classic, but I never actively searched out the fantasy genre. I read those books because of the cartoons.
