>It's always funny when some rag tries to say "X declined to comment". No one is going to comment on some random crap you publish on what's a glorified blog

Strong disagree. I like when people writing articles at least give the other side a chance to comment. It makes me feel the piece is less obviously biased. Of course it can be abused by giving the other side just a dew hours to comment (so basically no real chance), but it's still better than nothing.
thank you for this!!!
Assuming they connect to towers in Israel and Egypt? I wonder how esims from a foreign provider can be used for this purpose.

If your goal is to get carbon out of the atmosphere instead of keeping it bound up in a fuel > CO2 > fuel cycle then splitting to C + O2 is exactly what you want to do. I.e., the same thing trees do; true carbon sequestration rather than repurposing.
Curiously absent from OPs story, so we already know the answer.
Of course infrastructure is useful, even if not that amazing.

But why are governments charging us for it even more than the Romans did when countless other, much much more amazing things (and just as useful) came down in price dramatically during the last 2000 years?

I have a hunch: in my town all road repairs are made by companies owned by friends and relatives of the politicians in power…
Rust Async has very real constraints but it's definitely _not_ supposed to make your app slow. Most will agree that it is often best avoided unless demonstrated to be required by performance requirements. IMO this advice also applies to other lang's async, but even moreso in Rust. The complexity is real.
Amazing how the government is _finally_ coming around to this, especially after the ship has sailed in terms of mergers with Rogers/Shaw, Telus/Numerous smaller ISPs, etc.

_Now_, there's a problem with competition, because they approved it all in the first place!

Amazing.
What have independent experts said about it? I see it passed peer review.

Having no expertise myself, I know it's still easy to shoot down anything. That's why I always look to people with expertise, who know what's significant and what's not, because everything in the world is flawed.
Perhaps, but USB-C is arguably the equivalent of the Lightning port. Broken TLS is not the functional equivalent of working TLS.
I feel like this comment is focusing entirely on the aesthetic qualities of -punk cultures. In cyberpunk's heyday it was tacitly understood that the genre was about abuse and loss of power incentivized by the accessibility of incredible technologies, but today it has a more pop veneer of shiny holograms and cyborg badassery. Steampunk seems to focus entirely on what-if worldbuilding at the expense of developing critiques on say rapid modernization in the industrial era. I am not so familiar with mesopunk but I have a feeling it's about more than just slice-of-life narratives in a particular setting.
The AI-bro fantasy is of AI building a smarter AI, which then builds an even smarter one. If this isn't extrapolation, does it exist?

Also in the Vanity Fair there’s an extract from the new book about the time the future FBI director was snooping for employees’ dirty laundry at Dalio’s hedge fund and conducting year-long show trials:

Re: Star Simpson, SilasX wrote

"No. She went into an airport wearing a circuitboard with flashing lights that made some people uneasy. When they asked her about it, she ignored them. Edit: Also, she was holding Play-doh, which no adult does at an airport, and can look like plastic explosives.
Even if they did overreact (and they pretty much have to aggressively err on the side of caution), it was a bit tone deaf and callous for her to act that way."

1. Photos of that "lump of putty" came out years ago. It was a ceramic flower, which Simpson had to wait a year to show to the general public, because the police confiscated it and held onto it as long as they could.

In other words, Pare told a bald faced lie to the public, and then abused the system in order to shield his own reputation by burying the evidence where it could not been seen.

Years later, Silas is doubling down on Pare's lie.

2. Simpson most certainly did respond when asked. She told the crazy woman at the desk (who saw a breadboard with a few blinking lights and had a panic attack) that what she was looking at was an art piece.

3. To even go so far as to say that Simpson was being foolish for not having anticipated the completely irrational reaction of the woman at the desk, who phoned in a ridiculous alert, and the police and prosecutors, who knowingly pressed a meritless charge in order to cover their own donkeys, is to engage in victim blaming at it worst.

There is no way, in advance, to predict an irrational reaction that is so irrational as to have no connection with Reality. A blinky badge is not a bomb, period.

The only two sides on that issue are the right one, and the one that should get one thrown into a padded cell.

I've seen multiple. The one I like is 'pinks and blues' where you're given two of each - a pink and a blue - and you write out why you think two dudes should get a blue (good) and a bad (pink). If you start accruing a bunch of pinks, there's a problem.

It's very simple and probably wouldn't pass muster with an HR department, but it was effective at getting rid of turds.

Rust makes tradeoffs explicit, which means you often have to make decisions you don’t have to worry about in other languages. I suspect this is where your perception of its being over-engineered may be coming from.

Traits are mostly well-trodden ground, being rather like typeclasses in Haskell. The ability to use them for both generic bounds and dynamic dispatch is lovely, but a source of confusion if you’re new to the language.

In my experience lifetime management is the biggest hurdle when you’re getting started. I’ll admit that five years into learning rust, with half of that working with it professionally, I still sometimes get lifetime errors that I don’t understand. However, I have gotten much better at them over time (name your lifetimes well! it’s a lot more helpful for understanding for a lifetime to be named ‘frobnicator than ‘a, IMO).

Anyway, only thing for it is to give it a shot! The feeling of easy performance wins and strong type safety is hard to give up once you’re used to it.
A lot of small businesses push the price increases onward. Food distributor says all your burger patties are +10%, all your burgers are +10%, unless you think its very temporary.

One benefit of local "anything" is that the prices are often way better. Ex: Live in a small town, the land rent can regularly be $1-2/sq. ft./month ($10-20/yr) while a quick on Sydney (where Gamurs is located) runs $8-10/sq. ft./month ($90-$100/yr).

Frankly, Sydney's mostly already subdivided into work shares from what I've seen, and its difficult to even find a spot that's not just $500-1000 / worker / month rates (or "contact for price"). Its part of the reason Sydney's childcare is ridiculous, cause the space to even have a facility cost so much (and you have to have a min reg space per child).
Same, would love to know more about it!
This is actually one of the major criticisms I've seen from archaeologists and geologists. The dating is from core samples (and apparently poorly done ones) with no related context showing actual human activity.
It's not a bad way to guess, up to maybe 16 or so. Most Go server programs aren't going to just scale up forever, so having 188 threads might be a waste.

The Phys.org article paints a much more clear picture:

> More specifically, the researchers found evidence of several efforts that together over time, added up to a completed structure. The first consisted of sculpted lava—where builders had carved shapes onto the top of a small, dead volcano. Then, several thousand years later, sometime between 7900 to 6100 BCE, another group added a layer of bricks and rock columns. Some unknown time later, another group added a dirt layer to part of the hill, covering some of the earlier work. Then sometime between 2000 and 1100 BCE yet another group added more top soil, stone terracing, and other elements.

> The research team has also found some evidence suggesting there might be some hollow parts inside the structure, suggesting possible hidden chambers. They plan to drill down to them and then lower a camera to see what might be in these areas.

Haha, yes, of course.

He's not Walter Isaacson. He's just a low-level reporter at the NYT who mostly publishes GPT-4 level articles on what the current stock price of a bank is.
Nobody cares. Millions of apps run on mysql despite your objections. Good luck with that one
I didn't read the article as it appeared to go off on tangents that don't really get to the heart of the matter: SARs and everything else are super super secret and there are severe penalties for even cluing someone in about them. There is a lot of bullshit clockwork that is hidden from consumers under the guise of anti-money-laundering and anti-organized-crime stuff. If I recall the training correctly, you aren't even allowed to acknowledge there is this whole secret process!

just nationalize it already
Governments, like societies in general, are just aggregations of human beings. No facade of legalisms can ever fully overcome that fundamental truism.
You think if the government issues certificates this breaks TLS? I had no idea it was so fragile.

Here's what's happening - the government wants a unified framework for digital identity. They're not saying you have to use it, but they want the framework to be there.

Part of the framework is that you can get a certificate with your name on it, signed by the government saying this is officially you, and you can put this on a website to digitally sign the website.

Obviously the government-issued certificate is going to have certain parameters, and they want browsers to accept these parameters so these websites will work.

How else would you possibly do this, than publishing the certificate parameters and saying browsers must accept these? I don't think they prohibited the browser from saying "this is an EU identity certificate", did they? I imagine it appears as an EV green box showing the person's name and country code.

I don't know why I'd ever want that to appear on my website, but I guess some people do.
How much crime it catches is directly related to how much crime it could prevent. If the measure is totally ineffective and criminals hardly ever get caught then there is no deterrent.

No. You posited that the majority of the value generated by labour is appropriated by the owners of capital.

These are orthogonal issues: it’s not enough for governments to have CAs in trusted roots, as this attempted regulation demonstrates. OS-supplied roots exist because ordinary users can’t and shouldn’t be expected to make PKI policy decisions to use the Internet securely.

If you’re trying to circumvent your corporate laptop’s MITM, you’re playing a lost game. It’s also a game that has nothing to do with ordinary users on ordinary, non-work computers.
> which shows how rules that supposedly protect poor people from abuse, in practice only help those with access to the skills of the professional and managerial classes.

Maybe the world's problems and solutions are inherently too complex for someone without those skills to have any hope of navigating. Maybe the only real solution is to use Patrick as an example for everyone and ask/demand that professionals spend some amount of time advocating for people less fortunate/educated/knowledgeable than themselves?
Well, I see my house as my home. But I do know that if things ever got rough I could sell it and live somewhere cheaper with a good chunk of money left over. So it is an asset, even if you don't think of it like that on a daily basis.

Whether renting is cheaper than buying varies. In the short term it often is, but not always. There is generally a long term point where buying is cheaper - but again, not always! If you can do something else with the money you save renting, then good for you.

To put this on context, to rent a house in my street is only a tiny bit cheaper than a mortgage on it. So it would not make long term sense to rent unless you had no choice.
How the hell is the price that high.

There may be some places that are easier than others, but in my experience it's the consistency of knowing you'll have access to good wifi, outlets, bathrooms, and a desk which provide a moat. Otherwise it's a gamble whether the coffee-shop you stop at will have those.

>I am still baffled how all my colleagues just went along with it and never were like: Wait a second! This is awful!

They probably went along if MISRA compliance is pushed by a clueless manager who wants to impress a customer with "our 100% MISRA compliance" and who doesn't want to hear about your 'WHYs' to exceptions to the rules, then all you can do is blindly comply and suffer through while you look for another job. Ask me how I know.
I've seen companies give the range for an entire career ladder even though the listing is for a specific level. The laws aren't comprehensive enough to require it, but they should actually break it down instead. E.g. SWE1 135-155, SWE2 150-175, Sr SWE 165-200, etc. They should also detail equity comp and bonus.

If you don't do this, somebody qualified for Sr Staff will see a ridiculously low minimum, assume that's total compensation, and ignore your listing.

> Once you got in the habit of appeasing LINT, your code was not only more readable but more explicit.

I get the hate, however:

A) C/C++ sucks at interop.

I don't mean C++01 vs C++13 vs C++15 vs C++17 vs C++19 (and good luck if your project doesn't explicitly specify which type of compiler it needs), I mean Visual Studio vs GCC vs LLVM vs 30 different build flags, compiler versions, target architectures, ABI and caller conventions, linker foibles and just generally one of the most buggy toolchains in existence. A tool like MISRA C doesn't save you from all that exactly, but having a standard at all is important _especially_ when doing security/safety stuff.

In VM (Java/NET/Python/JS) world you have to worry about some library calls and maybe bytecode compatibility, the amount of stuff you don't have to think about is just staggering.

In C/CPP you need to be both disciplined and explicit to safely do just about anything.

B) Formally provable systems are the dream.

Linter rules do wonders for catching common issues, but they don't catch real bugs very often. The downside of systems like MISRA C etc. is they install a false sense of security "oh it passed the tool so it must be good". In fact you are just _automating ignoring watching for issues_, and worse _obfuscating the code so finding issues is harder_.

But this is why we all hope(d) Rust/Go would save us and produce more reliable software, more cheaply.

eIDAS in fact forces browser vendors to do that, but there are two problems with what you're suggesting:

1. Good luck teaching 99% of people to be wary when they see the blue address bar. People generally do not understand address bars, which is a large part of why browsers removed the EV indicator.

2. There is a strong possibility that a future version of eIDAS will force businesses in the EU to get certificates from an eIDAS CA. At that point, people in the EU will be seeing the blue address bar constantly, and most of the time the certificate will in fact be legit.
If I read the article correctly, it's actually "a compiler for a language that only supports basic arithmetic, without a lexer, a parser, symbols, nor an optimization phase".
