This is just the default configuration BitLocker used for a long time, there is a no hardware constraint that causes this. However, pins are easier to remember, usually guaranteed to be available at the pre-boot time the tpm needs unlocking and as the TPM ships with anti-hammering abilities they offer sufficient entropy to protect against attacks.

There's a very obvious utility in the US which should be able to prevent this: The US Postal Service.

It's federally required to exist, and services all Americans already. Basic banking services should be one of the things it is expanded to provide in a minimal, safe fashion (i.e. no loans or lending, but guaranteed electronic banking and funds transfer services).

In practice, you would need multiple cables, some for going up and some for going down.

And then there is the power/energy factor. Lifting a cargo up would take a lot of energy that has to be transported by other cables to the cargo-carrier, converting electrical energy to potential energy.

Cargo coming down has to store that store that same amount of potential energy as electrical energy somewhere or dissipate it away as heat into space.

While I like the concept of a Space Elevator, I feel that the practicalities will prevent a working structure being built for centuries, if ever.
TradeDesk has algos that set bids (supply side), rather than set prices (sell side). Maybe SSPs have algos for setting floor prices that would be affected.
Oh, no doubt - I'm certainly not trying to defend EA's particular flavor of polyamory. But from Time's perspective, you have a term like polyamory that the general public is not likely to be familiar with, and you only quote extreme and stereotyped viewpoints in defining it, without reference to any other definitions or statistics or lived poly experiences outside of EA's particular interpretations, you contribute to a culture of fear that all non-monogamous relationships are equally toxic. Perhaps horrifying was an exaggeration - but the omission in the reporting is irresponsible at best, and in the current culture, can cause real damage even to unrelated communities.

I think the early Pentiums are pretty close to the instruction set of the 80386. However there were many iterations to the Pentium that added new instruction like the MMX.

You know that how you experience the world
is not the world as it is.

Your eyes move about constantly but you dont see it, and the brain removes things, and the brain adds things, you smell, you listen, you feel, you end up with a construct you perceive, that you know is inaccurate.

You will only ever know the inside of your own head, your own consciousness.

To the extent that everything could be all inside your head, everything.

Some people like to think about this world being a simulation being run
by some sort of beings for fun.
They could again be simulations, recursively, until perhaps there could be
a non-simulation at the top.

and it might be that the "simulation" they are running is only calculating
and modelling a single brain and they plant things inside of it.

From that perspective nothing that you will ever perceive is real.
80486 and Pentium added relatively few instructions to the core instruction set, but there are a couple of pretty important tools which got added. The ones you'd miss the most would probably be:

* CMPXCHG (486). Central to multiprocessor synchronization and locking.

* CPUID (P6). Admittedly, if the instruction set were frozen you wouldn't need this... but if not, it's how you detect what CPU you're running on and what it supports.

* RDMSR/WRMSR (P6, kernel only). A general-purpose mechanism for adding extra special-purpose registers to the CPU without having to allocate an instruction to each one.

* INVD/WBINVD/INVLPG (486, kernel only). This was the first Intel CPU to support cache; these instructions were used to manage it.

Maybe I overlooked something, but the author keeps repeating that they wrote a "streaming" parser, but never explained what that actually means. In particular, they never explained how did they deal with repeating keys in "hash tables". What does their parser do? Calls the "sink" code twice with the repeated key? Waits until the entire "hash table" is red and then calls the "sink" code?

In my mind, JSON is inherently inadequate for streaming because of hierarchical structure, no length know upfront and most importantly, repeating keys. You could probably make a subset of JSON more streaming-friendly, but at this point, why bother? I mean, if the solution is to modify JSON, then a better solution would be something that's not JSON at all.
Yes - this is (part of) the motivation for the current idea of "small modular reactors". The idea with SMRs is that if you build the units in a factory, not on site, then things like unexpected ground conditions necessitating costly design changes can be mitigated. Making them smaller might also reduce things like extremely tight tolerances on certain parts leading to potential delays due to having to "throw it out and start again".

It's closer to the model used for nuclear submarines which have a better track record in terms of delivery to time and cost than civilian nuclear power.
I’d say “better regulation” rather than “less” - things like fraud and money laundering are important to fight (consider how bad ransomware would be if the attackers didn’t have to convince their victims to make a cryptocurrency transaction first) but we sacrificed due process to get there. It shouldn’t be impossible to have better regulations but the national security ratchet effect is pretty strong, as I’m reminded every time the TSA scrutinizes my sandals.
That's an inherent limitation of heat engines - if you burn the same thing in a power plant, then you could get 45% instead of 35%, but you can't possibly convert, say, 80% of burned fossil fuel into productive work.
Or take the SQLite route, if you don't need to reject strictly invalid JSON5. When they extended SQLite's JSON parser to support JSON5, they specifically relaxed the definition of unquoted keys (in a compatible way) to avoid Unicode tables[1]:

> Strict JSON5 requires that unquoted object keys must be ECMAScript 5.1 IdentifierNames. But large unicode tables and lots of code is required in order to determine whether or not a key is an ECMAScript 5.1 IdentifierName. For this reason, SQLite allows object keys to include any unicode characters greater than U+007f that are not whitespace characters. This relaxed definition of "identifier" greatly simplifies the implementation and allows the JSON parser to be smaller and run faster.

You do not need to wear a uniform to get into Berghain. The bouncers, above all, are looking for interesting people who they believe will add something to the mix rather than just go there to consume and gawk. There really is not much to conform to, other than some contextual awareness of the fact that you're going to a techno venue and there is a certain culture behind that, e.g. flashy logos or ostentatious clothing is generally frowned upon, and you should be dressed comfortably enough to actually rave. Most importantly, I think, you need to give off a vibe of freedom and non judgement, the things going on in Berghain are not for everyone. Elon didn't get in, and frankly it would probably be a buzzkill if he did.

A much more common issue is that many people forget that neither wind nor solar provide baseload and even with the cheapest batteries on the planet, we won’t even close to buffering a national grid’s demand for days.

Having said that, any future electricity mix must include nuclear power. France proves that only nuclear allows for deep decarbonization unless you have lots of hydropower and a small population like Norway.

For people who still think that wind and solar alone can do it, I just recommend looking at Germany which had to resort to restart even communist East Germany era coal plants to stabilize the grid after the nuclear phase out.
> Widewine does not require a TPM and relies entirely on security by obscurity and it's considered good enough by the industry.

Widevine's highest security level, L1, does not rely on security by obscurity.
But it doesn't rely on a TPM either; rather, it relies on a trusted execution environment, like ARM TrustZone or Intel CSE[1], that is more highly privileged than the OS itself. Microsoft PlayReady is similar.

Apple FairPlay, in contrast, is worse: it's disabled if you turn off Secure Boot on Macs.

Ask HN: Alternatives to (Enshittified) Google Voice?
I've been using Google Voice for holding on to my phone numbers for more than a decade, even though the actual phone service has been with many carriers with unmemorable numbers.

Google Voice has dropped way too many calls for me of late to be tolerable. I'm hence moving "my number" to an actual carrier service, but that still leaves me locked-in enough to be painful when I need to change carriers (because of their own enshittification).

Lots of discussion in the comments here about how ingrained banks are into our current system.

I am unsure what distinction the linked page is trying to draw between payment for goods/services and debt. The first paragraph seems to unequivocally state that businesses do not need to accept cash (from a Federal law perspective anyway).

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an
organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.
Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept
cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

I'm very far from dealing with 500k personal banking transactions, but my immediate thought is that if you're doing so you're probably making mistakes. If it's revenue from sale of a company or similar, move it through escrow with your attorney. If it's a legal settlement, do the same. If you don't have an attorney but are dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars, get an attorney. If it's income from trading or investing it should likely be a transaction from a recognized brokerage which shouldn't raise red flags - and if it's a private investment, see above about an attorney.

And of course if it's business transactions, do it with a business account.

>If the Economist makes such mistakes in their headlines what does that say about the quality of their journalism?

IMHO, it has always been crap, because of their biases, and pandering to their audience.

But that's beside the point. "Mistakes in a headline" happen to the best of outlets, and always have had. I assume you are OK with an outlet making a typo now and then, no? (There's even a name for this phenomenon, the "printer's devil"), and that making some doesn't mean the outlet's journalism is bad, right?

Your question would only make sense if they frequently made typos, and showed some huge careleness about it. Not something one would generalize from seeing this ONE mistake.

Anyway, this isn't even a typo or mistake. It's a well known expression. Wouldn't it be prudent to first look it up in a dictionary before questioning those that dared to use it? It just means that SV businesses are jumping in that particular domain (piling in: to move into a place quickly).
