Slightly unrelated to the OP but: I think that in a more prefect world, the legality of parasocial internet use (which smartphones do a great job of enabling and encouraging) should be tied to the legality of cannabis use.

Too young? Shouldn't be able to use it. In a public place? It's rude and inconsiderate to those around to start using your phone / smoking; there should be designated areas where it is allowed.
lol that was my first thought too.
They also published some Nancy Drew games, I believe, one of which im currently reverse engineering!
I think this is an unavoidable side effect of Touch ID fully happening inside the module. The logic board has to have full trust of the module, because the module will simply inform the OS that fingerprint X was seen - the OS/logic board have no way to confirm the information
I would expect it can’t be part of the reason, otherwise things like “we don’t sell to women on weekdays” would be legal.
How do you feel about gun control?

Should we prevent people from owning guns because _some people_ like harming themselves and/or others?
In terms of YubiHSM, they make two versions, the non-FIPS and the FIPS.

My original post was made with the non-FIPS version in mind, which is effectively a non-certified glorified Yubikey that just has different firmware that allows HSM-esque functionality such as key-wrap, and a more API-friendly interface even if the documentation is terrible. :)

I agree that for FIPS/CC, by all means charge what you like for the certification badge, since any company that needs the compliance tick-box will pay whatever price is asked. My beef is more with the non-certified pricing.

Ultimatley the problem is when you clearly need more than one, and ideally minimum of three or five units in order to achieve suitable hardware redundancy. The sort of people I have in mind would be private individuals (e.g. freelance developer, OSS-project maintainer etc.) and SME-sized companies and non-profit organisations for whom 3x650 or 5x650 could be financially unattractive or even plain financially impossible.

Perhaps we could meet half-way and you could have basic functionality and then more advanced functionality and/or increased storage capacity unlockable through software licensing on a pay-as-you-go model ? As long as the fees were one-off and not yet-another-company-selling-a-subscription-pricing-model.
It seems you have no clue what you are talking about. A PKI where the CA private key is not secret is not really a PKI now is it?

As for asking buyers: I doubt 0.001% of buyers in any market segments has a clue about PKI or public key cryptography at all. This is E2EE "lets have a government back-door" all over again: IT DOES NOT WORK. The Clipper chip was not that log ago, now was it?
Definitely. And all of their 25 users. It was literally a non-issue even back then but titles like The Terrorist’s Handbook and The Anarchist’s Cookbook had a lot of shock value.

Animal torture is such a fringe and infinitely small area that even if it’s deplorable it’s not, and never has been, prevalent in any meaningful way.

Funny enough the first fallout we had among admins when we started The Pirate Bay was about a cat torture video that forced us to take a stance on freedom/anti-censorship vs decency and compassion. (The latter won, but not without losses in the team because they found it hypocritical that we “censored” uploads.)
Tbh? While I can tell a difference, I couldn't tell you which one is supposed to sound "better".
> After a long legal battle, 2 million players, including Shellz and her husband, will be eligible to get a small part of their losses back — about 20 percent for those who lost $10,000 to $100,000.

This is ridiculous - are people incapable of free will anymore? I'm sick of "journalists" painting people as victims for gleefully engaging in reckless behavior. Remember the idiots who lost millions on Robinhood and tried to claim it was "too easy" to lose money via day trading? Or children "addicted" to loot boxes in video games? I know this is HN and the inevitable comment regarding pHd pSyChOlOgIsTs designing dark patterns into these apps so people have no agency over themselves.

My guess is there's some ambulance chasing law firm sourcing these poor fools, they use the PR circus to generate buzz about how they're poor victims, then they broker back door deals with the companies to get some settlement vs the negative press. Idk who the negative press works on - there are actual victims in this world, and these people are NOT victims.
Some rural communities already do this and have small private forums restricted to the locals. That does not exclude using cash, it's just another method of trade to fall back on or to use when it makes sense. If the internet is down they can all meet in a church parking lot or someones field.
i think that depends on what you mean by "frontend framework"

consider the following examples:

Bulk Update - https://htmx.org/examples/bulk-update/

Infinite Scroll - https://htmx.org/examples/infinite-scroll/

Active Search - https://htmx.org/examples/active-search/

unless you adopt the tautology that anything you can accomplish with htmx automatically means you didn't need a frontend framework, i think many people would expect that accomplishing UX patterns like this would require a front end framework like react or similar

on the marketing front, i don't know what to say. I try to be funny on twitter, but I've been doing that forever and nobody cared. ThePrimeagen and Fireship Dev started covering htmx in July which was a big bump, and the Github Accelerator helped too. I think i mostly got lucky: right place, right time, right vibe. I don't spend any money on marketing and I don't have any VC or FAANG backing.
One of my friends showed me an "casino" app on his phone where they don't give you real money but you can earn (or buy) "premium currency" that can be redeemed for various rewards like a free dinner in Vegas or 20-50% off a room, which I would assume Big Fish Casino is doing something similar. It could be that or it could be the big A word that casino's hate (addiction).

Quite a lot of people have a bonafide fear of their phone being stolen, especially when travelling and so on.
"it costs 2x as much but doesn't require me to navigate my messed up IT org" is an underappreciated motivation for a lot of architectures you see people pump.

Your IT org political problems may not match, and therefore their architecture may not either. Also there's the question of what problem you are trying to scale at what scale, with what resiliency/uptime requirements, etc...
Density of the entire country is not super relevant — the vast vast majority of travel is within a city or two away from where you live.

I’m not saying that nobody should ever drive, and if you have a long ways to go between obscure locations it totally makes sense to drive.

But if the US optimized for the 99% of trips that people make, within 30 miles of where they live, then it just comes down to regular urban planning where density can be “whatever you design”.

But yeah this is specific to cities and suburbs, I’m not trying to imply anything about people who live further out or who are making far-away trips.

If your household only needed one car for the monthly trips to grandmas or out for camping in the wilderness, and you didn’t need to drive at all around your city, that would still be a huge win for Americans today. Especially those with kids who depend on the parents for transportation by car.
Thankfully you've provided an example further down the thread, so my comparatively weak intellect doesn't need to do very much inference:

>As an example, it is within the realm of possibility that Israel or the United States use nukes on Iran, and there would be pretty strong logical/rational justifications for doing so.

Iran has promoted hostile rhetoric against Israel since the latter's inception as a state (with a brief thawing of relations during the Shah's time in power). You could reasonably say that its anti-Israeli stance is one of the two fundamental foreign policy positions of Iran, alongside containing the expansion of Saudi influence in the region.

Despite this (and despite having nearly 10x the population), Iran's ability to project power anywhere beyond its immediate borders has been limited to funding Islamic fundamentalist proxy groups. They have no functional nuclear weapons, and no capability to target Israel with a conventional land or sea attack. A real threat to Israel's sovereignty is neither credible nor imminent enough to warrant an Israeli preemptive nuclear strike (assuming such a justification can exist, as you're suggesting).

It's undeniable that the Soviet Union perceived the US to be an existential threat to its sovereignty. For some reason though, I find it unlikely that you would describe a preemptive Soviet nuclear strike on the US as "rational and reasonable" from their perspective, despite fulfilling many of the same criteria as your example: a hostile power outside of reach of a conventional attack, whose foreign policy is molded around precipitating your failure as a state (with the added qualification that such a power could actually deliver on this goal in a tangible way).

With an "imagination" like that, we can do nothing more than hope you're far from the reins of power.
I can't give a short answer, but IMO the best long answer is the book Addiction by Design by Natasha Dow Schüll.

I would say the TV show : Dark.

In my opinion it’s one of the most complex thing I have ever watched.

That is a terrible example of a reason to panic. If the programmer believes the list to be exhaustive and it isn’t, then the programmer is wrong. So raise an exception and let the caller decide what to do with it. But don’t punish the caller by forcing it to crash just because you made a mistake as a programmer.
China kind of needs that trade surplus of ~$1T, more than all the other countries need that equal but opposite trade deficit.

The book “lights out” gives an eye-opening look at this in terms of the electrical grid. Apparently, there are many transformers that can only be manufactured by a couple overseas manufacturers, sometimes with 18+ month lead times. And some of the infrastructure needed to deliver these parts (e.g., railways) don’t even exist anymore.
> p.s., I don't have any credit card.

This feels like it's just throwing money away though. Like, just an example - Banana Republic will give you a CC for 20% off purchases + 200 dollars off of purchases. There's no fees. So as long as you always pay the minimum, or don't spend on it, you just made 200 bucks + 20% back on anything you've spent.

The "cost" is that American Express knows that I'm buying certain items. I'm ok with that... I find it kinda weird that anyone wouldn't be - is it supposed to be a secret that I wear pants?

I get wanting to avoid using a CC for something sensitive, but what's the issue with putting groceries and clothing on a CC that pays you back? It can easily be thousands of dollars back to you.
My point was that’s not actually the problem in the grand scheme of things. Thats only an issue if the module is abandoned because then you cannot find the new host for it. And if the module is abandoned then you’ve got much bigger issues already regardless of the language and import semantics.

Plus if you really don’t want a full domain in your projects import paths then you can vendor in those modules, albeit at a cost of higher maintenance for yourself.

The biggest problem with having the domain name included in the import path is just purely visual noise. It’s pretty damn ugly. But that problem is purely aesthetic.

I will grant you that when package versions were encoded in the import path, that was extremely problematic (to say the least). But that’s gone away now we have proper module versioning (and I say that even as someone who doesn’t particularly like the solution that Go finished up with).
For lambdas in particular, you can set reserved concurrency, which is the most of a particular lambda that can run concurrently at any point in time: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-c....
There's a tweet exemplifies the state of Apple software, and Apple's attention to it: https://twitter.com/krzyzanowskim/status/1707684940337283563
"Suzie Kelly of Dallas previously told Reveal News how she spent about $400,000 on the game. She took out a home equity loan and used the money she inherited when her mother died to fund her habit."

This is a symptom of problem gambling. The article makes it sound like this app is exploiting the same neurological reward pathways as regular gambling, and causing the same kinds of damage. The lack of monetary reward might prevent more people from trying this compared to other apps where winning money is a possibility, but exactly the same kind of people will get hooked on this version, and in the same way, and cause the same kind of damage as problem gambling for money.
You don’t earn real money in a physical casino, you earn chips.

You’re correct that those chips are exchangeable for real money but the chips still serve a very real purpose: to dissuade you from picking up the cash and walking out. The vast majority of people who win chips plug them straight back into the casino games and end up leaving with nothing. It’s all about the addiction to gambling itself, winning money is merely a potential bonus. So the end result is not a whole lot different than these apps.
I agree with you over the parent. The idea that being a so called "Western nation" makes you immune to government abuse seems to be more propoganda than fact.

I looked into Canada's bank seizures, and at the hearings it came out that it was the banks not the government that was pushing for that. Canada's elites do act like the general population are more property than citizens... But I don't see how physical money can solve the problem of tyranny better than digital.

A tyranny can search and seize your physical assets just as much as your digital ones. They passed laws making it harder to store money anonymously, and storing digital assets anonymously might actually be easier in our day and age
I wish someone could ask Apple about the middle ground. You want to protect consumers? Fine. Alert customers to the use of non official parts but don’t brick any functionality then.

I want Apple to tell me when that shop that promises original parts is actually giving me an original which I can track.

I don’t want them stopping me from using it unless it’s genuinely incompatible at a firmware level.

The biggest lesson i learned when i was in an org thay started using serverless heavily (because its the future!) is that its an unmaintanable mess. You end with code spaghetti, but now its split across 100 repos that might be hard to find, and designed purely on architecture diagrams.

From what i can see its basically recreating mainframe batch processing but in the cloud. X happens which triggers Y Job which triggers Z job and so on.
The issue is that there are some people who physically can’t help but pour all their money into these skinner boxes.

The insidious and unfair bit comes in when you realize that these companies specifically engineer their apps to take advantage of people with that kind of addictive personality disorder.

Check out the talk “Let’s go whaling” to really see what I mean. He opens the talk with “let’s set ethics aside for an hour”

China’s economy is not too strong in fact and they have few allies with strong economies or militaries.

This, along with sports betting is the new smoking tax for dumb people.

There will always be a substantial part of the population who can't think critically, save money, etc.
China is not independent for the inputs both material and capital to those industrial processes. They also are not able to consume all they produce so a vast majority of their outputs would dry up if they were to start a trade war.
Usually you do put a comma to separate two adjectives that modify a noun.

Native speakers know not to include it here, and I don't know why.
Part of what this is trying to solve requires working with zero abstraction over the underlying hardware: driving the laptop's built-in speakers as hard as possible without literally melting them, which requires not just processing the audio data in realtime, but also accounting for the particular characteristics of each laptop model's several speakers.
On the contrary, most people are not hackers, and our job is to make tools usable, unbreakable, and since this tool is their digital twin: secure.
Can you link the source? As far as I know most HS4 categories of trade goods never went to zero.
The new implementations are more permissive than the old ones*. So if your program is rejected, it would have been rejected under the old, simpler implementation as well, and you can use your intuition of the simpler rules to understand why.

*excluding bugfixes, of course

What's actually hard to reason about is problem cases like in TFA which seem like they should be valid, but the compiler rejects anyway. These are cases where people's intuition doesn't match the current implementation, so I think moving the implementation closer to people's mental model of borrowing will make the language easier.
Hindsight is rose-tinted.

Tho I think those kinds of things weren’t as easy to discover or as widely talked about as the internet was largely a hobbyist thing at the time
You are correct that the thing these people are addicted to is not the chance to win real money. So in that sense it's not the same as other casinos.

But the government regulates plenty of addictive things that are not "winning real money".

The thing in common is a for-profit company taking advantage of a weakness of human nature, which in some cases leaves a meaningful number of people financially destitute. I think there's at least an argument to be made that it's worth putting up some protective measures.
There's another that uses what they call a "compiled stack" which I believe is the same concept.

Work From Home (WFH)

One thing WFH advocates fail to recognize is that, if companies embrace it - now they have the ability to replace super high paying US based WFH employees with low cost WFH (anywhere in the world employee).

WFM advocates don’t realize that they are effectively advocating for offshoring their own job.
I wonder how much this changes as American priorities change. It seems as the population ages and entitlement spending as a proportion of GDP grows, there’s less tolerance for expensive world policing.

I think python is dominant in AI, because the python-C relationship mirrors the CPU-GPU relationship.

GPUs are extremely performant, and also very hard to code in, so people just use highly abstracted API calls like pytorch to command the GPU.

C is very performant, and hard to code in, so people just use python as a abstraction layer over C.

Its not clear if people need to understand GPUs that much (Unless you are deep in AI training/ops land). In time, since moore's law has ended and multithreading becomes the dominant mode of speed increases, there'll probably be brand new languages dedicated to this new paradigm of parallel programming. Mojo is a start.
I think this paragraph from the OP addresses that pretty well:

> One obvious takeaway from the paper: whoa, America is far more reliant on China than it thought. But actually this underplays the complexity. Think back to our Brandauer electrode. The chances are that it was made of metals which were originally refined in China (I’m guessing here, but given China is the world’s biggest metal refiner this is not implausible). Those metals were then shipped to the UK where they were turned into the micron-accurate electrodes I saw being turned out of the machines in Birmingham. Then they were shipped back to another factory, probably in China, where they were put inside a rear view mirror.

Now I'm not saying China's not capable of manufacturing that electrode, probably of the 45% not made by Brandauer some or all are from China anyway, but the point is it shows the kind of disruption it would cause to any country. Some like China less than others like the UK, sure, but still disruption. Globalisation isn't quite 'we all get everything from China now'.
Two things will happen in that scenario:

- the economic damage to china will cause the overthrow of the CCP

- any serious escalation would be met by a naval blockade of china and mass starvation

Justifying their behaviour with 'addiction' makes them completely unresponsible for their actions. If that's the case you'd have to declare them incompetent for doing business and assign them an agent.
I can guess.

These are games where you earn points (in the form of tokens). Those points place you on a leaderboard within your club.

Just like if you were playing any their game which gives you a score and let's you compare your score with other people.

The catch here is that the games are all simulated Casino games - and one way to boost your score if you got "unlucky" is to spend real money on more fake tokens.

The games are "fun" because they emulate 100+ years of casino development in terms of figuring out what mechanisms people enjoy the most.
> I will give the tiniest example from my personal life - these past few weeks a dear family member has been trying to take out a sum of money from their bank in the form of cash. However, they very quickly encountered irrelevant and overblown bureaucracy (even though it was their money). This prevented them from withdrawing the money until they complied with certain regulations that the bank required them to comply with.

This could, just as easily, have been a story about an elderly person who was trying to withdraw a significant amount of cash to "help someone in need," where that someone is a predatory scammer.

This could, also just as easily, be a story about someone trying to withdraw cash from an account known to be linked to human trafficking, where the "overblown bureaucracy" is attempting to skirt KYC/AML.

You can earn real money in casinos, that's why they do exist. They pay out just often enough for people to believe that they are one pull away from hitting a jackpot.

If they never paid out, people would never go and the casinos would not exist
