I could say the exact same thing for your interpretation. Why not just say 1000 years ago the budget wasn't cut? It would have the same meaning. Oh wait, it wouldn't have the same meaning because 8 and 1000 years are quite a bit different.

8 years is probably not meaningless for the poster. He probably moved there 8 years ago or had his car stolen back then and is saying nothing has improved since then despite there being no budget cuts.

It makes no sense to say in the last X years if the poser just mean X years ago. It would cause unnecessary confusion.
That makes sense if you already have a pub/sub service running. But if you have a pub/sub service running, you probably also have a service that can count events so you won't need ratelimitapi.com.

In this case, I'm guessing the ability to configure the rate limits on your end would be useful. But again, I'm not your potential customer, so don't take this as customer feedback/feature request. I'm just thinking out loud :)
Here's my advice: stop coloring our discussions with those norms.

We all expect the courts to give the benefit of the doubt. The problem is that we echo that expectation in our discussions. We are not the courts! We should be loud and direct with our criticism.

There is no doubt here. I refuse to give corporations that benefit.
It's the one that literally everybody got, as I understand it.
Some inputs are hard but I don't see this as a problem. There are many characters in most FG's so I don't see a problem with some characters having challenging or even extremely challenging inputs. Some players enjoy that challenge, and if you don't, you don't have to play that character, you can play one that fits your playstyle.
You are overthinking it.

If you see your contractor not using PPE, you just tell them to put it on. Just like you'd tell him to do it properly if you saw him cutting corners somewhere else.

Contractors want to get paid, so they generally tend to do what the person paying the bill asks them to do.
>> Credit belongs to whoever actually makes it work.

That is according to whom? Is it a rule you just came up with or accepted practice? And if it's accepted practice, in what community is it accepted practice? Because where I publish and review there's really no such rule and credit belongs to the people who deserve credit for the work they've done that was useful to others.
> As with many conspiracy theories, too many people would have to be “in the loop” and not blow the whistle.

I used to believe this, but I do not understand how anyone can say this after the Snowden revelations. The vast majority of engineers are not martyrs. Given a choice to blow the whistle and then seek politcal asylum in Russia, most will not blow that whistle. Instead, they will live their lives and work to support their families.

"But this is not about Goverment Surveillance!"

Maybe this is true - I don't want to argue it here but I do think large tech companies are willing accomplices in many surveillance states - but an engineer at Open AI or Dropbox will probably not be facing felony charges for blowing the whistle. They will be facing the end of their career in big tech, and that's enough to dissuade most of them.

I'd guess maybe 200 engineers would have to be in loop before there is an 80% chance that one blows the whistle in any five-year period, and if they are careful they can keep the number of engineers in the know MUCH, MUCH smaller than that.
> On the other hand, bodycams run out of batteries or the electronics glitch or automated video downloads get skipped, in ways that simply don't happen with paper notebooks or data stored in central databases.

Systems are going to fail, but they need to fail safely. If a bodycam is low on battery or not acting properly, there needs to be some notification for both the operator and department to know that the bodycam failed or is about to fail, and their procedure has to handle such cases. So for example have an indicator light that comes on at 20% battery power and officers need to return to the station and swap cameras when that light comes on, and battery levels at the end of a shift are logged automatically with a notification if any are returned below 10%.

Of course genuine failures are going to happen from time to time. If an officer falls and damages their camera in the middle of a shootout, they're not going to call a timeout so they can fix it. But such instances should be rare, documented, and reviewed. The department should at any given time be able to produce a list of what footage they are missing and why they're missing it, and such reports should be audited by third parties. During the review, evidence should be collected - pictures of any damage, software logs, statements, etc. as well as actions taken during that missing time, which should be reviewed with increased scrutiny. So long as the discrepancy is properly documented, it's fine, though procedures should be updated to prevent a repeat of this particular failure mode.

Basically if a critical piece of footage is lost it should be easy to show that this was an isolated incident and that it won't happen again. If they can't, then there is a fundamental problem at the top level of management. This is all standard practice in other high stakes fields like pharmaceutical production.
That's fair. And as another commenter pointed out, this is probably your responsibility as a parent. Of course, we also let the government tell us we can't let our kids work, so clearly there's a line we draw.

So I ask, why is it the government's responsibility in this specific case?

Most claims about whether something is "healthy" or "unhealthy" rely on single studies with small sample/effect sizes. We know that many studies fail to replicate, and in the absence of preregistration there are researcher degrees of freedom for scientists to find whatever they want to find in the data.

I don't know about the current status of alcohol research, but unless there is a large body of replicated work supporting a claim, we should be skeptical of it.

They still haven't removed the driver, which Waymo did in 2018 when AI was much less advanced than today. Therefore it's pretty clear there's some fundamental limitation that probably has to do with hardware and/or inability to build proper guardrails for their AI, as opposed to the capability of the models. In other words: building AI models that can drive impressively in the common case is likely the EASY part of the problem, and they haven't made much progress on the hard part, which is likely dealing with the long tail.

> unrestricted manner.

They didn't say unrestricted, they said locked out. As in, not accessible at all.

And you know what is also very hazardous to a developing person's mental health? Being left out of most social gatherings and interactions with their peers.

You can block your kids from accessing social media, but to succeed you also need to force their peers to communicate and interact with them in a unique and more frictive way. And you have no right to force someone else's kids to do that. So the reality is that without a lot of like-minded families that do the same, your kids are going to be left out of a lot of things.

So is it unrealistic to control your children's access to social media? No, not at all. But locking them out from it entirely as you stated, is a good way to negatively impact their social development.

Tell HN: Apple will subscribe you to AppleTV+ without telling you where from
TLDR: Apple will treat a purchase request from a device they don't recognized as yours, as valid.

This morning I received 2 emails from Apple, one to tell me I have subscribed to AppleTV+, the other to tell me:

"Your Apple ID, <me>, was just used to purchased AppleTV+ on a computer or device that had not previously been used. ..."

I have not done this, in fact I have avoided all these come-ons like the plague. I logged in to AppleID, checked all my devices and my digital footprint, all looks OK, I changed my password, checked AppleTV+ and sure enough I have the ability to stream.

I called Apple and asked their tech support if they can tell me what is this "device that had not previously been used". Apple should know what it is because "not-X" is an identifier. The support guy says he is unable to tell me.

I hope this is a bug, which is the most benign explanation, and not a smarmy way to drive up the subscribers number. There's no money involved so no real harm done, I'll cancel it. Any more of this, from any company, I feel should be a class action lawsuit. If there's a transaction, the seller should be able to present a recognizable and attributable record of it.

"Adequate measures" are, of course, a complete loss of anonymity, adding your website to the surveillance state apparatus.

> even the raspberry pi is a decade old itself now as the poster child for consumer arm64 Linux

That's a pretty good example actually, the various Pi versions are probably the best supported ARM in existence, and even they are incredibly limited in what they can run.

For some reason the way OS support works on ARM is that every OS needs to explicitly support the exact underlying hardware or it doesn't run. For example the recently released Pi 5 can only really run two OSes right now: Pi OS 12 and Ubuntu 23.10. How is that possible, I ask? Why the fuck isn't the required firmware shipped with the SoC and made compliant to run any aarch64 build of anything? It's not like it's new hardware either, it uses a dated 5 year old Cortex A72.

Meanwhile x64 has apparently done the opposite and standardized hardware to a level where software support is completely irrelevant. Pick any new or old version of Windows or Linux or FreeBSD or whatever, pick any motherboard, CPU, GPU, disk combo and it'll install and just work (with a few exceptions). It baffles me that this standardization that's been a blessing on x64 is impossible to achieve with ARM. I don't need a specific release of Debian with firmware from Gigabyte to work with their motherboard, it doesn't give a shit if it's an Intel or AMD CPU or something third entirely, but for ARM this level of support is apparently like asking for cold fusion.

> that’s also true for x86 systems.

Really? I mean I suppose there must be some very specific OSes out there that aren't compatible, but I've yet to hear of any. Hell, you can even run Android.
Right, but the idea is to restrict to those financially sophisticated enough not to be taken for a ride. That after all is what the "qualified investor" concept is actually about, you either are sophisticated enough to know better or wealthy enough to survived not being so.

Is it unrealistic? Like, social media wasn't invented when I was a kid and I found some way to spend my time.
