> Would Rust prevent this?

This is often hard to say.

In a very literal sense, you could write this same code, in unsafe Rust, so one could argue that Rust does not prevent it.

Some may argue that if this program was written in Rust in the first place, "concatenate all command line arguments into one big string for processing" wouldn't be the way you'd go about escaping command line arguments. The issue here is about misplacing a null terminator, Rust strongly prefers a "start + length" style of representing strings instead of null terminators, so you'd never really end up in this situation in Rust in the first place.

I'm sure there's other ways to evaluate the situation as well. Which one you find compelling is up to you.
The asymmetry only lasts as long as their branch is better than some community fork.

That’s approximately as long as we have between now and when they stop investing in improving the end user experience.

This is pretty close to ideal IMO.
I've also started doing this, with USB-C to C cables you might want to get something like the C2C caberQU cable tester as a lot of cheap type c cables don't actually wire all the conductors.

Also I like to note the cable length on the label, measured by myself since manufacturers always count the connectors on the total cable length and on some of them that can add up to almost 10cm
If they were serious they would have a specific number rather than exactly 10. This is for investment attraction

Just go clarify matters for anyone not living in California: Cupertino is not a charter city, enjoys zero deference from the state, has no right to home rule or any of that nonsense. General law cities are strictly administrative subdivisions of the state and exist to execute and promulgate state policies.
> Can the USA please stop orchestrating large international conflicts? It's getting really annoying that almost every major conflict is fuelled by the states.

Seeing how morally confused the rest of the world is, I am thankful that my country has the biggest army, navy , and air force. I mean you can't even properly assign moral blame for who is the aggressor here (China... the state that continuously threatens a violent invasion of a territory that is not theirs).

Given the moral depravity of many non-Americans, I think it's reasonable to enforce basic ethical standards by force.

As cool as this is, the word “microplastics” is a little misleading. There are dozens of types of plastic in common use, each made from a different monomer with a different chemical linkage, of which PET is only one. The engineered protein in TFA will only work on PET and we’ll need to design new proteins for the other types of plastic. (I can help with that.)

The problem with enzymes eating plastic is that enzymes are small Pacman-shaped protein blobs that are maybe 10 nanometers in diameter, whereas things made of plastic like bottles or even microplastics are huge in comparison. How do you get the little Pacman jaws around the bottle to start breaking it down?

The research paper [1] describes the authors’ effective innovation. They make a protein where one end is a pore-forming shape, and the other end is a PET cutting (called a PETase in the jargon of the field). This way, their protein can access nooks and crannies in the macroplastic shapes, allowing tons of copies of this small enzyme to fully degrade a bottle.

Without this, a great deal of physical agitation is required to break down the plastics into small enough chunks that earlier Pacman enzymes could work on, increasing the time and the cost.

I hope we’ll see the idea of linking the enzymatic “scissors” to a protein pore be used to engineer enzymes to degrade other types of plastics in the future, as the general idea of getting the catalytic machinery into physical contact with every bit of the bottle is broadly applicable to all plastics, not just PET (which is great news)

The next stage of technology requires advancement in several areas - like gearing AND the shape and proportions of the blower.

The number of similarities between modern leftism and organized religion is uncanny. You've outlined the "blind faith in regulation" aspect but the more you look the more you find. They have their own scapegoat, epic struggle, sacred figures, sacrilege, science denialism, 2nd coming, it just keeps going. I wonder if it's residual from centuries of religious rules ingrained in us. I strongly suspect there's an intermediate between biological instinct/ evolution and learned behavior. I think the leftists are still chained to the pattern of worship just without the traditional deity.
For Berkshire in particular most of this cash is part of the float for their insurance business which they need to have on hand and available to pay out for potential claims and they will only ever keep that part of the float in cash equivalents. Still they have a large amount of cash beyond what they need for the float which they attribute to lack of opportunities to invest in given their immense size and investing style. They also want to be able to be in a strong position in a downturn or crisis situation. Hoarding all that excess cash still presents a major opportunity cost for them, although now not as much as before with higher interest rates.

Stripe shut down our business before it started
As a background, we have built automated marketing solution for other startups and we collect 10% commission from the users we bring to other companies

We have signed up for Stripe on Oct 6, had a call with Stripe sales to see the best integration type would fit our business model and they recommended Stripe Standard Connect and use application fee feature to collect our fees

After our team finished the integration we went live and before we earned our first $100, Stripe shut down our account saying "high-risk" of disputes despite having 0 disputes, we appealed and it automatically said "account will remain closed". Few days later, they emailed saying it was a mistake by the system and they re-enabled our account

I asked our team to reintegrate Stripe again to make sure we did not make any technical mistakes causing this issue somehow, our team said it cannot be due to technical issue but they integrated again and we went live again.

And guess what happened?
Right before we got our first $100, we got closed again and all our payouts has been reversed and they closed our connected account as well for "fraud" with 0 disputes just like they did last time

How anyone is even able to build business with Stripe? Am I the only one having this issue?

Stripe team please check my account (acct_1NyIcmItbV4B1gP4) and help me out, either re-enable our account and explain what is going on and why this keeps happening or explain what terrible mistake we could have made to have our account closed and all connected accounts closed

For HNer's that would like to read the account by Plato, most of his discussion is in Critias, here:

I'd CTRL+F for 'Atlantis' to get the relevant part, as the rest of the text isn't too relevant to the Atlantis myth. It's a very short passage, relatively.

That's all that time has left us from Plato's accounts, just the two stories. It;s really not all that much, considering the ink split since then.
Wow, that's really interesting. I'd love to see comparisons between Apple and more well-known third party manufacturers like Anker, CSL or UGREEN.

Some of the exposure in these cases is due to the fact that you have cybercriminals who've been doing the same things for more than a decade. That is a very long time in which to make just a few key opsec mistakes, and also most RU cybercriminals back then did not take as much care to cover their tracks as they do today.

I don't think SSPL is worse than AGPL in practice, in fact it is better.

The SSPL is effectively a stronger AGPL. This makes it non-OSI-approved, but the licence itself is completely fine.
The major difference is that the SSPL also mandates that you release everything needed to run the software, not just the software itself.

For reference, it's worth to read the OSI's blogpost about this, it's quite illuminating: https://blog.opensource.org/the-sspl-is-not-an-open-source-l...

It's also worth mentioning that most of the attacks against the GPL, AGPL and SSPL are done by corporate shills, and OSI is also full of them. They pretend to support "non-discrimination of fields of endeavour" but they are undermining free software to SaaS-ify it. Don't fall for the "SSPL is not open source" propaganda.

When you don't have governance beyond "self-governance", you get gang warfare.

Gang warfare conditons are worse because in addition to having to secure basic things like food, water, shelter, and comfortable surroundings, you also have to be constantly defending yourself, and you still don't escape the competitive landscape of humanity. You only make it less pleasant. Large groups consisting of numerous fighting gangs tend to get exploited for resource-extraction by larger groups with less infighting, because they need weapons constantly.

Not big IMHO. Does a family have a right to excommunicate a family member that they determine simply will not do anything but destroy them?

> about half of American households had no savings in retirement accounts

We're looking at those who have 20 years left, not those who could have 60 years left. Naturally one could avoid saving anything for 39 years and then plop down a $600,000 lump sum in the final second and you would be in the exact same place as someone who slowly amassed $600,000 over the span of 40 years, so half of the population having nothing saved doesn't tell us anything.

Bringing us back to the actual topic: Of those who have 20 years left, how much do they have saved?

I do appreciate _not_ using some home made license, thank you.

Personally though, I find the AGPL too restrictive for projects. The [OSI Certified] EUPL I think is perfect:

* If you don't modify the code: Behaves like the ASL2.0

* If you do modify the code:

* Behaves like the LGPL in that your private codebase remains private, but changes to the library must be submitted back during a 'distribution' event

* Behaves like the AGPL: Offering a service that uses the library counts as a 'distribution'
You are building application - I could estimate from your description alone that you're better off wrapping the DOM interactions.

For websites that need interaction, DOM manipulation is IMO a better move due to it using a more fundamental/universal skill, light or no build process, faster execution, and explicitness.

This is a categorization, with lots of room for grey areas! I bring it up because your use case falls squarely in the category that benefits from a framework.

Is it possible to build a trustless authentication system, that doesn't need certificates ? Cert-authorities have always been a attack-vector, which wasn't too bad because if they got compromised trust could be revoked, minimizing the damage. If that can't be done anymore because of legal or political risk, maybe a better system can be designed, which doesn't have this potential ?

Maybe technical design has to take into account the existence of bad political actors, and minimize the political and legal attack surfaces not just the technical ones.

I did a anti-slip course where we learned dosed breaking to reduce break distance. And once a circuit racing course where the instructor just told me to break with all force available.

The latter stuck. This instructor logic was, only if you are a pro driver you actually can outperform ABS. In emergency situations I break with full force without hesitation. This has lead to multiple avoided crashes and TBH two back collisions. Once I pushed so hard the break light sensor had to be replaced. In that case I saw a SUV struggling to stop in my rear view mirror. I had enough control to move to the right and have that SUV crash into the vehicle in front of me.

In this line of thought, it can be life saving to be overweight. I was about 120 kg back then and therefor had quite strong legs.

The fundamental misalignment between the economy and commentary on it seems to be continuing. The top comment on an HN article about a 40% jump in profit for a business with $130,000,000,000 in the banks is directing people to prepare for a stock market crash.
As an additional plus, I think many SaaS companies (e.g. Google) ban the use of AGPL software on their company computers. The more advantages we can give to non-big tech developers, the better.

Ok, this entire premise is silly. "Humans can do things that a computer can't" is fine and all, but the entire point is that most people are not practicing that style of braking and can't do it. Heck, the beginning is that most people aren't braking at all during a wreck. Thinking that "perfect braking" would be the answer feels very disingenuous.

And if you aren't covering how much speed was lost at the end of the stopping period your analysis is kind of worthless. Yes, you can stop faster with clean road and good execution of old stopping technique. Ignoring that the analysis is that that just isn't happening, but focusing on the extra 20 feet you travel with ABS ignores just how much slower you are already going for that last 20 feet. Even assuming you'd still be in a wreck, if you can reduce the brain to the panic of "slam brakes" and get a massive reduction in speed, that is still almost certainly good, no?

I have high hopes for the future of Matrix in large part because of the Matrix Foundation. But what happens at Element when you and Amandine leave? What stops Element from being bought by a huge corporation that takes the whole thing proprietary and kills it?

I'm sympathetic to the position that you find yourself in here (I have a standing recurring donation to the Matrix Foundation). But this seems substantially less secure of a future.

I don't know if it would work from a legal perspective, but it'd be nice if there was some sort of dead-man's switch.

That depends on how we define culture - some ways it's defined in people's minds don't really exist, some do. Also, to the extent something called 'culture' exists, we also can say that alien lifeforms exist, but that doesn't mean we know anything about them.

I'd ask, 'how are you defining it', but that seems unfair on HN: Answers are far too long and complex to explore here - I'm certainly not trying! :)

That seems like two words for an incredibly large, diverse, complex collection of - of what? how is that part of the sentence accurately written?

I think this story supports my point about our reasoning about culture. We infer about all of Russia and its 'culture' (whatever that is), based on a second-hand anecdote.

Of course, social customs depend somewhat on time, place, participants, and many other factors (language, participants' ages, recent events (don't be too cheerful after a tragedy), etc. etc.) and we have an instinct that helps us grasp what will fit in any moment. But that is a very complex, undefined thing.
