What non-advertising revenue model would pay for both Firefox development, and timely repairs and improvements to advertising blocks? It’d have to be a recurring or subscription model — one-time payments aren’t viable for recurring updates — with no free option (like there is today), as otherwise no one would pay for it (just like today). Solve this and perhaps they’ll make you the next CEO.
Pretty sure you just joined the demo scene.
This is bad, but the right way to fix it is by taxing empty flights or better CO2 emissions per-flight, not by targeting the proxy metric of “flights from this one airport”.

Would the mega-rich pay extra if they needed to? Sure. At the margin they would fly less, and you could use the tax revenue to buy CO2 offsets or invest in infrastructure projects that will have the same effect like renewable energy generation.
It has .NET generic.

Would .NET with F# make big difference here?

I'm little surprised Java beat .NET. Is that typical these days?
It's worth noting that the product and sales cycle for commercial aviation is measured in many years. And...2001/2002 was quite a bad time for commercial aviation as well.
It applies to families obviously. Like the tax code for the one child policy, there’s precedent for this.
Most of those really old devices are usually air-gaped from the internet for incidental reasons. Either they run on closed networks or have no networking at all.

Apple isn't just "a retailer", and regulators seem to agree. Also, Google provides seven years of updates for their current Pixel devices.
If you want to teach someone how an encoding works, why would you not tell them that a single symbol can take multiple codepoints?

It seems like you're advocating people learning incorrect information and forming their impressions of it on falsehood. Which is probably why people think utf-32 frees you from variable-length encoding.
It's not neccessary that the LLM by itself comes up with ideas, only the person who tells the LLM.

«Gee what if the kernel could do clairvoyance? Implement a syscall! Specify the parameters and the structure of the data being returned!»




A more realistic scenario is just imitating Linux' syscalls.

EDIT: Just had an idea what could happen. Some guy can't do kernel development but is annoyed that a feature request got declined. Someone else set up an LLM-driven kernel development system. That guy now tells the system to implement said feature. The rest of the story: even more community fracture.

>python script on GitHub that allows to decrypt passwords the browser stores locally in their %Appdata% directory.

Yes, otherwise known as "if you run code on your computer, it can run code on your computer".

If a random python program can "decrypt" the passwords, that's not encryption. And browser password management isn't about security, but convenience.
> but then after Daniel responded that the analysis was junk, they persist at it, assuming Daniel was wrong, and just re-prompted LLM to paraphrase the crap again.

Lack of self awareness, you will be surprised by the amount of people that have that, that’s why I prefer to work with smart emotionally intelligent individuals than ones who supposedly are “smart” with higher GPA/degree and such, because that behavior will be their everyday job and eventually turning the none-sense argument into a political one.
The reality is that it would be very hard to find Python code that does not use NumPy (or some tensor lib), for matmul.

Including time to JIT compile is questionable, why not also include time to compile the compiled languages?
I think it was both, and has become more the former now.

My preferred line-width for code would be 80 characters, not including indentation for the line, with a maximum of 120 characters including indentation.
>at least in writing, since I can't imagine how it could be actually enforced

You can check passwords against known-compromised lists and then tell the user "sorry, please use a different password". This is something that is a recommended best practice, and has been for at least a few years.

>Or at the least enforce an aggressive password change schedule

This has been explicitly not recommended since at least 2016 by NIST. Research has shown this leads to password fatigue, which results in weaker passwords that are just iterated on (password1 -> password2 -> password3).
every saas should have a byo storage option
The problem with the RANDOM approach is that it scales with how many terminals you open on a given day. Compensating for that requires state.

I'm too lazy to write actual code right now, but here's a sketch of a possible solution that allows bursts. This is racy but safely so.

declare N, the burst size. Say, 5.
declare T, the time in seconds after which a new burst can start. Say, 3600.
declare S, the time in seconds after which a new occurrence is allowed within a burst. Say, 10.
declare P, a unique identifier. Say, the-last-sunday.
declare D, the directory to store state in. Say, /tmp/bursty-ratelimiter.
mkdir -p "$D"
if "$D/$P-central" exists and its timestamp is within the last "$S" seconds, exit the process without doing anything else (hmm, I suppose when opening multiple panes at the same time, this race might actually matter ... I guess you could use a lock if it matters that much)
touch (create and update the timestamp of) "$D/$P-central"
for I from 1 to "$N"
if "$D/$P-$I" exists and its timestamp is within the last "$T" seconds, continue with the next iteration
touch "$D/$P-$I"
run the rest of the program under load
exit the process without doing anything
So my parents gift me money in their will, and I am owed it somehow because I share genes?

I don't get it, apart from certain return for if the child did genuinely 'earn it' through caring for parents in old age etc.

We need to end this divine-right thinking, IMO.

I think it's the perfect place to get tax rev (it's the tax that is furthest away from 'units of work' that I can think of. Far better than getting it from an income tax). I.e. it is the tax that penalises people the least for creating value.

---

I guess my current position is that

1. It is poor economic policy not to go heavy on inheritance tax (as far as emigration of the upper class remains inelastic), and

2. People claiming their relatives' estates is not compelling to me (but I am open to being compelled)

Or that's what at least I infer from that, because I don't know of 60 fps eInk displays :).
A malicious program is going to have a difficult time adding something to your ~/.profile script if it cannot access your home directory. Although I don't doubt that many flatpak programs have too lenient default permissions, and the various XOrg lack of isolation issues are unfortunate somewhat remedied in wayland.
Lots of various reasons. Performance, cost, compliance, and reliability are the ones I've personally seen.

except for the part where the company collapsed, so just maybe there's an argument to be made that there might be problems with this approach.

...I mean besides the obvious "running a crypto fund in a landscape where knowing what you're even doing is not a barrier to entry", of course.
This still requires them to keep tabs on people and know they exist. So even though you may not have an ID card, HMRC still knows you exist and about your payment habits to be able to tell if something fishy is going on?

I don't really get why some employees push for permissive licenses

It makes sense if you consider that for many people their projects are kind of like a resume or a branding situation. "Owning" a project or framework is like building up a portfolio. And for some GitHub is as much a social network as it is a utility. I was definitely in this mindset after I left my long-term job and needed to hunt for work, and I understand the motives in a sense. If you have your stuff under permissive license, more people will use it, and your own "brand" is bettered.

But I think in the long run it's not great.
It's the same with most creative fields really. The vast majority of people earn very little from their work, and a few really skilled/lucky folks at the top of the field earn a fortune.

See also music, art, game design/development, content creation on sites like YouTube and Twitch, blogging, etc.

Part of this is simply due to competition; there was stacks of it before the internet got big, and there's probably a thousand times more now the internet has become normalised. The barrier to entry to writing a book or becoming a writer is extremely low in the grand scheme of things (well, if you have the determination/patience to finish), so enough people do that you're spoilt for choice there.

Add this to how challenging the marketing/sales side of running a business is by default, and how trying to make a sustainable income as an author or creator is basically being a sole trader/entrepreneur, and well, it's not too surprising that most people don't do particularly well from it.
This. Saying “It’s not our fault, it’s yours.” isn’t going to fly when the government comes looking. I remind everyone that there’s a new law about data breaches in effect. [1] The FTC will want to know what their security posture is and whether that meets HIPAA compliance rules or not. If not, they may lose their HIPAA compliance and be barred from applying, rendering their whole operation illegal under the FTC (s/you can only collect health information under HIPAA/you can but you still need to notify the FTC when you’re breached/).

This is a serious HIPAA violation not just a security breach. This defense of theirs isn’t a smart strategy if they want to stay in business not to mention the impending lawsuits.

A dysfunctional criminal justice system probably doesn't hurt either.
That is in agreement with what I wrote. There is no tax benefit just for labeling an office “headquarters”.

As much as I dislike publishers gatekeeping what gets read, It's a big ask to commit several hours to a self-published book. This is one thing I like about Japanese light novels, I can look up the release calendar and pick out a few that look interesting. They are a relatively quick read and only around $7 (about half that if you live in Japan).
This comment is indistinguishable from the one you would write if you simply didn't like the result of the experiment.
Mr Bates vs. the Post Office
Liked Telemate also. Pretty sure it had the ability to script a session. You could create a script and set it to dial in when nobody was on the board, download a file and log off, saving precious time on the board, and the busy signal.

Also liked Telix. Was more simple and like Procomm, but Telemate seemed more extensible.
Completely unsurprising misinterpretation of the word "launder."
Passkeys ?
I was an intern at CenturyLink the summer they opened their new building in Monroe. Monroe was not fun to live in but the building was gorgeous and great to work in. From my understanding, the building sadly sits more or less empty now as more and more of the workforce moves to Denver (aka home of Level 3 who more or less took over CenturyLink after being acquired).
The second chart is basically the first chart with the slow 4 removed (well, not removed but at such a scale that they're irrelevant).
> Lastly, the strongest Linux safety guarantee is IMO the GPL license, that conveniently all these Rust rewrites are turning into more permissive licenses. Which steers away from what Linux was, and still largely is, a community effort based on the work of thousands of volunteers.

There is nothing about permissive licenses which prevents the project from being such a community effort. In fact, most of the Rust ecosystem is a community effort just like you describe, while most projects have permissive licenses. There's no issue here.
There was no brute forcing done. The credentials were from other sites that were leaked via Tor and the users on 23andMe used the same email/password combo. That’s why you don’t reuse passwords, when possible.

Nothing on 23andme’s end failed unless you consider someone using a correct user/pass combo while not being the owner as a fail on the part of 23andMe rather than the end user.
No, but I learned from this that self-contained builds can be compressed. Why isn't that an option in the publish gui of vs 2022?
Because every object stepped over is downgraded from visited to not visited. At most 1 object is set to visible per lookup.

No, it was signed by the Palestine solidarity committee AND co-signed by 33 other organizations. Why do you think Bill was threatening them and demanding their names? Many individuals were doxxed and more were likely kept safe because it was signed by the org, not individuals.

Apple could release it for other platforms (let’s not talk about the original Windows release). Or others could build a browser on the engine.

You’re right most people couldn’t switch tomorrow. Right now Firefox is the only credible non-Chromium browser I’m aware of for Windows/Linux.

Honestly that comment was mostly there to try to forestall the people I expected would come out of the woodwork with vehement Apple hate. And if someone did in one of the replies below my comment.
This data is highly suspect. Just last year they had “unknown” at 12%, and the recent macOS drop strains belief.

Most likely this reflects increased bot activity.
Luxury: "something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary"

In order to use DNA tests in genealogy, you need to know every segment on every chromosome that matches. Matching is not a go/nogo proposition. There are degrees of matching that depend on the biological relationship. Ex: Parent/children average 3,700 cM (centiMorgans), siblings are 2,600 cM, first cousins 900 cM etc.

Think about that the next time you flip a light switch or flush a toilet and consider whether returns should be the only reason.
I don’t think this is true. When I heard of LK-99, I remember talking of my friends about it and we sort of daydreamed about what it could mean for society if true. None of us are on social media anymore (except HN if you count that).

Sometimes you just get excited, or want to be excited. Otherwise it’s back to wake up, work, eat dinner, sleep. When cool stuff seems to be happening, why wouldn’t we talk about it? Even if it ends up being a dud, it’s still something to talk about out.
Ask HN: Fundraising for my domain-specific 2B startup – VC vs. others?
Hi HN, recently I started by part-time one-man startup after working as a lead in trading industry for years. The product is a 2B solution for hedge funds and many players expressed interests. So far around a dozen of firms are willing to pay $30K/year for the minimal product. My estimation of the entire customer base is approx 200 firms. The development will take roughly a year.

However, unlike in 2C world, most of its upstream services and data are proprietary, and vendors charge us for about $200K per year for basic licenses even after negotiation.

To cover this cost, I'm considering three options:

1. Raising funds from a tech VC. Pros: very mature business model and mentorship. Cons: This isn't a hyper-growth business. Not sure VC will be happy to see that.

2. Get money from hedge funds' acquaintance. Pros: they know my business model very well and have confidence. Cons: Lesser-known source with no mentorship.

3. Spend my own money. I have $400K liquidable assets in bank.

Could anyone suggest the best choice here? Happy to provide more details per request.

Thanks!
> I can't think of any lawful way a gun can help you with dealing with a disagreement with the government.

No rebellion is lawful. The American Revolution was highly illegal and the American Founders were traitors to the British crown. Even the possibility of one puts a check on government overreach. For an extreme example, a government is probably not going to routinely shoot protestors if they will start getting return fire (though they can probably get away with it once or twice before retaliation starts).
Where your first argument falls apart is the other several million users who had their data breached didn’t have compromised accounts. It quite literally isn’t their responsibility or problem at all.
i wonder how much of that is due to rust being too young to have myriads of dubious code to copy from.

Perl is even more memory safe than Rust, but the amount of crappy code is overwhelming...
Some base level of cardio only makes it harder to gain muscle mass if you are really short on time. I don't think it'll hinder the average person to maintain a surplus – first, you don't burn that many calories exercising as you might think, especially once you're adapted to it, and second, our food environment makes it relatively easy to increase calories if needed.

I'd also challenge the idea that cardio interferes with your recovery for weight training purposes.
It's ironic that you call it cynical, but assume they see it as being a talking monkey (I assume "money" was a typo) and selling their reputation. That seems overly cynical to me. Many people will happily do things where the financial payoff doesn't really move the needle for all kinds of reasons ranging from enjoying it or wanting to be available to fans and admirers, to just filling dead time or boring moments. I'd imagine part of the appeal is that these services have made it quick and easy to use it as a way to fill dead time doing something (talking to fans) they often end up doing for free anyway.

You should tell them, yes. And talk about it more at some point. But you don't have to go into much detail when today's lesson is specifically teaching UTF-8 or UTF-32. I don't know about you, but I think I could teach the latter about ten times faster.

As part of a comprehensive dive into Unicode it's a minor part, but for teaching an encoding it's a significant difference.
