It's cheap propaganda for internal purposes. Everyone spies on everyone. Like there are, IDK, Czech Republic spies in the US. Discovery of "friendly" spies is handled gracefully - no one gets killed, no one gets jumped in a back alley by unidentified perpetrators, and no one even goes to prison. That is assuming you don't turn the spies around to work for you.

I don't get it why this is on HN, it is not particularly significant and it is definitely not related to tech.
I used this at the last gig. It works really well +1.

Potential upsides include less road deaths if self driving gets good, and cheap robotaxis from train stations. Also maybe robotic goods delivery overnight rather than the streets being clogged with trucks and vans during the workday.
Not at all, I’m claiming piracy generally is immoral. I’m sure you can find exceptions, but the general case is the problem.
> Spain absolutely ignores it's own laws and regulations.

Which regulation would those be? The GDPR and similar laws explicitly exclude state intelligence agencies and the like.

> I can't imagine a world where the USA shares everything with Spain, so I can't image why would Spain share everything with the USA.

Spain can assume the US has sufficient resources to know anything it cares to anyway, and Spain doesn't have an empire spanning the globe. The US does. One party has a lot more to lose by revealing everything.
Where I come from, both parties have to consent. The buyer says "I purchase this for $10". The seller says "I purchase for $10." You have a valid sale. Modern forms involve giving the money, then getting a receipt.

Here's the problem - the seller can be a thief. The common forms of seller theft is selling something of less value than marketed, or with conditions that were not brought up earlier (like no repair).

Being illegal isn't be the only measure of theft, not in some societies. You can pirate something without theft -- as long as the seller consents to it. It won't be legal if there's no written agreement of consent. Some companies have this model where you can illegally use their software forever, but have to pay for a license. They want some of the richer people to pay, but the law doesn't recognize this selective consent, so it's enforced selectively.

But in OP's case, there's no valid transaction possible in some situations. They're not pirating nice guy WinRAR. The seller doesn't want to consent and the buyer won't consent. Because there's no possible option, the pirate assumes it belongs to nobody and takes it.

Thieves will often justify a theft, either by saying nobody owns it or that it belonged to them. There's a whole hill of philosophy here about what private property means. Taking back your homeland is not theft, because it's yours. That's why we have laws so a third party can judge these things.

But you know, maybe just come to terms that stealing isn't always unethical. Instead of saying piracy isn't stealing, it's more like piracy isn't unethical. It's pedantic, but solves a lot of the nitpicks people have on the topic.
> Rendall played the anti semitism card.

> It's not very effective.

I am curious though; what are you calling rumours? The murder of thousands upon thousands of innocent Palestinian children? The four premie babies left to rot in Al Nasr hospital? The hundred plus murdered UN workers? The targeted journalists and academics and poets? Reem and Tarek?

Those aren't rumours. They're all on video, and the world has seen them. You can go on Shaun King's Instagram and see hundreds of similar atrocities whenever you like, and so can the entire planet. They're not rumours, they're documented war crimes.

We can all see the residential blocks vaporised under cover of night. We can all see the aftermath of bombed refugee camps and humanitarian corridors and UN schools.

It is infuriating.

So, yes, I'm furious. But if anyone is rabid, it's the people committing these war crimes and atrocities, the people cheering it on, and the people accusing anyone who calls for a ceasefire of anti semitism.

If you're looking for rumours that lack evidence, try the Hamas command bases in hospitals, or the 40 beheaded babies, or the babies in ovens, or the pregnant women slit open, or the "mass rapes"; all proven lies that were spread by Israel and corporate media only to be debunked weeks later.
You can already ask artist A to make art in the style of artist B. So if you ask a machine to do the same thing, it's almost certainly going to be ruled legal by the courts.

The concept of having copyright over a style is ridiculous anyway. Our courts should have their time taken up by making subjective determinations of whether some art is in the style of another.
I just scanned it. It's not an MVP for some product they want to attract investors. It's a tool. Which has documentation written by someone who wrote it.

> [...] wages do not increase as a result of high inflation

Not in the short term, sure. But if the cause of the inflation isn't something permanent, labour is still (somewhat) subject to the same market equilibrium (in real terms) as it was before the inflation. There are some major caveats here (e.g. wage stickiness), but we're talking long-term.

> which is exactly what we are witnessing now

I don't disagree, but again this isn't long-term. I assume you wouldn't expect these effects to last for the rest of eternity (assuming inflation returned to 2% and stayed there)?
Are you are relying on that terminology because you believe piracy to actually be stealing? Depriving a person of something they already own.
> Security isn't about Apple knowing if an app is spying on users

Clearly, what matters to Apple is what _they_ believe is secure, and they of course trust themselves more than they trust Beeper.

> At best a third party iMessage client can only be as secure as iMessage itself

Exactly, they can never be safer, and given that Apple, or we as users, know very little about the company behind the client, third-party clients are much less secure.

It's come down to hostage ransom now. Easier to pull some people off the boat and hide them in the jungle for ransom. The huge vessel they came in on requires expertise to crew.
No, the social contract is a philosophical concept where people agree implicitly to behave a certain way in order to maximize the value of interaction. Part of that involves consenting to governance, but that is merely one aspect of the social contract.
Nope, stealing involves depravation.
Considering that those very hospitals were used as military bases and that Hamas is hiding among the population, the numbers alone don’t say anything about how hard Israel is trying or not trying to kill civilians.

Besides, even if that were the order, that doesn’t make it illegal or immoral. Destroying military assets is an essential part of war. If you want civilian losses to be minimized, you’d do well to keep military assets clearly delineated from civilian zones. If you don’t and your people die as a result… well, that’s on you, not on the enemy you’re fighting.

SaaS isn't owning and definitely is a response to piracy and lockin.
After looking at various keys and their features I chose basic FIDO2 with NFC with no storage or other fancy feature.

Keys with lots of feature have a larger code base and this means more bugs in the long term.

I use my FIDO2 keys for proxmox, ssh ed25519-sk, vaultwarden, nextcloud, GAFAM accounts.

Unfortunately I know of no bank that has adopted FIDO2/webauthn.

Note: Paypal only allows one FIDO2 key AFAIK, so not an option there.
The problem is that Gaza is a hornet's nest

Hamas members are entrenched in civilian buildings and tunnels, and they are well equipped to attack tanks, and they wouldn't hesitate to blow themselves up

it would be suicide for the IDF to do a slow invasion of Gaza, the IDF doesn't have such a big army, and this would drag along and allow hamas leaders to run away, and would allow hamas to regroup.

also, the more time passes, the more it gives hezbollah and other actors to attack.

maybe the US army would have enough foot soldiers to invade by foot and check every street, but again, with human shields and guerilla tactics, it's not sure it would be that much better, because US militaries are probably not really trained enough to deal with such a big hornet's nest that is gaza.
then i very clearly participate in this contract only on conditions of duress. i lack the means to "leave society" and exit this supposed contract without risking starvation or death from the elements: literal threats to my life. no court would enforce a literal contract entered into upon such conditions.
I dunno, Dragon's Dogma 2 is coming out, even if it's just Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen with updated graphics it's gonna be my Game of the Year.
Looks good. I have a suggestion for it, although it might be this library is too mature for such a dramatic change: use dictionaries (which, as of a recent Python, remember which order the elements were inserted) instead of lists.

I did something like that in an old job, except it was a much thinner wrapper around PyQt (and surprisingly little code). A key difference is that setting properties/signals and nesting widgets was done together. One benefit of that over setting properties in the constructor is that, if you need a name for a widget (e.g., to set the text later), you can still set the properties of it in the main bulk of the view.

self.mytext = QTextEdit()
view = {
"title": "My Window Title",
QVBoxLayout(): {
self.mytext: {
"text": "Initial text",
},
QPushButton(): {
"text": "copy from self.mytext",
"clicked": self.copy_text,
}
}
}
setup_view(self, view)

The "setup_view" function was the whole API. They talked about opening sourcing it as part of something else – I hope they do because I found it really handy for quickly knocking together simple GUIs. But this library looks like a good alternative, so thanks for posting.

you know, my default stance is pirating is the way. i don't give a shit who "owns" the media. if it's in my harddisk, it should not go away unless I delete it or the system (fs / hw / what have you) is kill. good thing I don't enjoy entertainment like movies or music. but in the small chance I like it, I'd go to the store, get the disk, rip it or just torrent it.

but bro! that's immoral and you will suffer in hell!

nah bro, we're already in hell.

bro! them popos will catch your ass and put you in jail!

nah bro, if they don't know, it's not illegal.
So you understand now what makes piracy so uninterestingly immoral? So clearly a violation then, enacted by free riders who wish only to benefit from the effort and concession of others?
The reason some things manage state via classes etc is because it can change.

When health changes, maybe you want to change the UI to reflect the new health, without running a "updateHealthUI(data.health)" each time. Maybe speed is also based on health. When a project has enough people and every file is changing every day, sometimes you just want something to observe another state without them understanding the context around it. Most of the inefficiency in a large team is communicating context.

Don't use more than what you need. Sometimes you don't need React.
Well yeah those models would have the most, because people buy way more of them than a Corolla or Camry.

Multiplicity, because relationships become important. Difference, because that drives emergence. Becoming, because when you're dealing with the emergent (eg social structures), how they come into being is essential to understanding them.
Why do you think that? Germany didn't even protest when it was revealed that the USA spied on the phone of chancellor Merkel, the BND sent siphoned german internet traffic to the NSA in an act of treason, and flight passenger data is sent to the USA without receiving such data in return. And again and again the EU enables data transfer programs into the USA, even though it is known the USA does not protect that data from access and that thus all such agreements are illegal.

In such questions, European states repeatedly bow completely to the USA. I don't see why it would be different with Spain.
It is very common that these things get faked.

Especially combined with: urgency (matter of life & death), referenceng laws/penalty if not handled (quickly), reference to kaws/penalties if disclosed.

Now some poor lawyer has to figure out what to do.

Now just heavily increase what you I.agine the scale to be. Those revealed cases are just the tip of the iceberg.

As much as I would like to blame Verizon or any other entity: I think the key point is that the way these warrants get handled is totally unsuitable for the internet age.

Forgery is usually a crime. So sending a warrant (via paper mail) through a country is sorta safe as you can start chasing the criminals, especially through return addresses.

This all changes on the internet. Someone in a different country or a mostly anonymous person can forge and send these warrents at close to zero costs. Enough police stations got hacked to get realistic templates (and sometimes even direct e-mail access). The whole cost/benefit/risk relation shifted in favor of the attacker.

And it doesn't help that most countries want to fast-track these requests even more.
And where would you draw the line?

don't use a general email address for support.

use an online support tool that can only be accessed by people who have a license. possibly use a tool to verify the license before they can even contact you.

everyone else can post issues on github.

also, do you track names and email addresses of those who bought a license? then you can match up requests and reduce the amount of license verification that you need to do.

> Does that also include firmware for devices? Will this government have a large dev team to make software that its populace can use?

The law I proposed has to be working against governments and semi-government institution such as banks, not about random Joes.

The firmware question is interesting, because there is no such thing as FLOSS hardware except of some low-end microcontrollers, thank you for noticing.

The most decent way of achieving this state seems like to prohibit only import of new devices and don't even bother about user's ones or anything second-hand. I have an observation that if you have 2 identical laptops but one with Nvidia/Amd and one with Intel HD then the former laptop will die naturally, such as any laptop with Ati today, while the latter laptop keeps serving until the physical death. You can install Ati driver for Windows 7 but can not for Windows 8 and never; also proprietary Ati driver fails to work with modern Linux stack while free Ati driver uses to much energy to consider the device as a laptop. This is an example of natural death of proprietary hardware/software, just stop import new proprietary devices.

Any authorities checking user devices for anything is a way of tyranny/authoritarism/totalitarism, nowadays the governmenns are working into totally another way, elusive to see for us the adults. In XXI governments use to propagate this or that ideas in schools. Teach them to have their fun and games in GNU/Linux distros and prohibit teachers to propagate Microsoft, Zoom, Viber, Google without restricting usage of these service for leisure. When the proprietary devices will start begging to buy a new hardware but it will not be available inside of the country then we will found ourselves in a new world.

> Will this government have a large dev team to make software that its populace can use?

There is no such thing in XXI as an independed government without a large dev team.
That show’s most out-there predictions all take place after 2050. Your criticism isn’t relevant.

> Major companies in the energy and food sectors amplified inflation in 2022 by passing on greater cost increases than needed to protect margins, according to a new report.

>This does not necessarily mean that overall profit margins have risen, but it does mean that higher prices have been shouldered by consumers, the authors said.

Sounds like the profit margins are the same, but because the absolute numbers are higher for everything, the absolute number for profits is higher as well. That actually seems like what is expected to happen during inflation where the prices across the economy go up by some multiple.
Isn't this pretty much an open secret? Doesn't everyone spy on everyone else, even when they're nominally allies?

It's telling that Spain merely expelled these people, rather than locking them up and/or torturing them for information. I'm sure there's some sort of gentlemen's agreement that this is what you do when you catch an ally's spies.
> Spain is largely a vassal state of the US but also of Germany

Wow, such a claim? Germany, really? Do you have evidence?
Show HN: Realtime global threat assessment driven by AI
(sadly necessary disclaimer: I am in no position to represent any kind of formal Israel stance on anything, so these are just my thoughts derived from generally available knowledge)

Israel as a state was created solely by following agreements proposed by external parties (UK and UN in particular), and even then mostly on lands that were legitimately bought or were not legally owned by anyone (aside from possibly Ottoman empire in bulk) mostly for the reason of being badlands. It then had aggressive war foisted upon it within 48 hours of creation, which it has then won. Any territorial gains for Israel since then have only happened as a result of defensive wars, and a whole bunch of those territories were given back, including the Sinai peninsula. Gaza strip would also have been given back, except Egypt flatly refused to have anything to do with it (I wonder why).

Israel doesn't have any a priori hostility to Muslim nation-states (or any others, for that matter). You can freely practice Islam (or any other religion, including none at all (with some stupid caveats if you are actually a Jew - not a restriction, but practical incoveniences)) inside of Israel, Arabic is the second official state language.

So, unless a nation-state goes forward and declares, by their own volition, that they want to kill Jews and obliterate Israel, or undertakes practical hostile actions - it's not an enemy of Israel, and Israel would indeed gladly be a friendly neighbour (be it in the literal sense, or planetary), trading, cultural, tourist, scientific and any other kind of partner. At worst, I dare say, a disinterested observer - though it is hard to imagine, given the extroverted and warmly Levantine character.
I see your point. Based on your earlier replies it was not clear to me you were talking about the abstract concept in an unrealistic world. Might help to make that more clear.

In some kind of perfect world there would be no need for violence. Yet we live in a complex and ambiguous world, where the widely accepted moral view that killing is a bad thing is sometimes the "right" thing to do. Or would you argue the Ukrainian people should just roll over because the social contract says killing is bad? My point is, I don't see how the notion that piracy is bad in a world we don't live in helps this discussion. To me it feels more like an argument one could use to demand people stop doing this immoral thing now.

Sure, but why Gaussians and not any of the many other well-known smooth functions? Is it because of lack of imagination (since the Gaussian is a sort of "default" choice)? Or is there some reason to pick gaussians, specifically?
None of this frees you from the contract, I’m afraid. Besides, it costs nothing to live as a hermit in the woods! But you probably quite like the benefits of the contract, e.g. all of society, so I bet you’ll stick around.

If the French revolution wasn't about income inequality then there has never been a conflict about inequality... Read the Rosseau and Voltaire of the period leading up to the crises. You can feel their passion when they talk about inequality.

Here's just one event from the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_March_on_Versailles

"The rioters had already availed themselves of the stores of the Hôtel de Ville, but they remained unsatisfied: they wanted not just one meal but the assurance that bread would once again be plentiful and cheap. Famine was a real and ever-present dread for the lower strata of the Third Estate, and rumors of an "aristocrats' plot" to starve the poor were rampant and readily believed.[2]"

Not about income equality per se, but you know, not wanting to starve in the streets. Lol what the fuck.
Fine, I guess, if the license I'd chosen allowed that? Certainly there are other licenses I could choose (licenses that still retain a good deal of openness) that would protect against that if that was a concern.
European drug-makers benefit from those high prices in the US, too. But anyway, I’ve heard that only 11-14% of new drugs are therapeutically important. The rest compete with pre-existing treatments, which I believe is how generic forms bring costs down. I’m ok with universities doing this; bringing costs down does save the lives of poor people.
