I actually think the .xxx TLD plan from a few years ago was about the best version of this legislation that could exist - essentially adult content would be limited to a certain subset of blockable TLDs. If a site is showing adult content and not on an adult TLD, it risks a state-level block until it's compliant.

This seems much easier to police, gives 80% of what the legislators are trying to achieve, and doesn't require entrusting KYC to a bunch of dodgy websites.

Sure, it won't block VPNs and there would be problems at the start while things migrate, but if realistically your goal is to keep kids off adult websites then it's at least more reasonable than this proposal to entrust the parents/guardians with some amount of responsibility to make sure the safeguards can't be circumvented on their kids' devices.
20 years sans orbit has to be blamed on more than Bob Smith. :)

Human behavior is not generally a result of reasoning.
> How about I authenticate with the payment provider instead of some random store clerk? I don’t want the merchant to even see my name at all.

Apple Pay and Google Pay don't show the merchant the cardholder name IIRC, and they authenticate you with biometrics, although the merchant may still use AVS and therefore ask you for your zip code.
Where in those articles is the conclusive fact that Israel is an "openly genocidal regime". Was America openly genocidal for the civilian deaths in WW2? I would say Russia is openly genocidal, but ask a Russian and they say they are saving their Ukrainian cousins and it's Kyiv that is openly genocidal to Russians. If dead children makes a genocide then nearly every war ever fought was genocide. Israel will say they have teams of lawyers reviewing every strike and if the civilian to combatant or military objective ratio is within the bounds of international law then they will strike. The geneva convention is pretty clear on when civilian areas stop becoming protected.
All this “AI” hype is a constant reminder to me that you cannot reason anybody out of something that they want to believe. People's need to believe in miracles is obviously stronger than all reason.
The article says any “video-sharing platform” would require all users, adults and children, to upload their IDs and pics.
Porn websites are video sharing platforms, so they must comply no matter the age.

But don’t worry, porn sites must also run a biometric analysis on the images sent to check if the user is 18+!
The Irish government is far from being far-right. And I don't think it's only a push against porn, it's a push against any kind of anonymity on the internet.

How long until you have to scan your ID before connecting?
One results in MOVSX, the other in MOVZX [1]. The difference thus is sign/zero extension when moving to the larger register. However, they seem to perform pretty much identical if I'm reading Agner Fog's instruction tables correctly.

EDIT: Ah, the other reply notes that this is likely only visible in a method that also does calculations and thus keeps those values in registers.
Lol, the fact you're downvoted shows how little critical thinking some people on this site have.

The US has done things like this for generations, the 'red scare' is a perfect example of the state creating lists of people's political and personal preferences and using them against them. Knowing the list exists and you could get on it my standing too close to those thoughts not approved was used as a force to keep people only thinking 'good thoughts'.
I agree somewhat. Ideally, the internet wouldn't be addictive at all, and hence wouldn't be an issue for children or adults. A whitelist seems reasonable for the current state of the internet, but I can't think of anything beyond Wikipedia that you could put on it. That said, you still run into the more fundamental issue of what exactly is adult content? Violence, gore, and gambling certainly, though I'm not sure casinos should be legal at all. But I struggle to justify it for porn. It's probably more healthy for children to have access to some kind of pornography.
Look at bookkeeping. Not taxes. Super lucrative and easy to do.
if the value starts out in a register, short => int is a sign-extend instruction. short -> ushort -> int is 0 instructions.

Notepad wouldn't recognize Unix line endings and would interpret the whole file as one line. Word wrapping doesn't fix that.
There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there.

Well you‘re making the error of assuming that charging the PHEV before a trip is required. Also, the fact that the BYD is 5x more electricity costs is almost irrelevant for a 1k km trip, because there‘s just an $8 difference for the whole trip, assuming $0.2 per kWh.

On shorter trips, the BYD will come out on top because it can go on battery for way longer, which is (even at 27kWh/100km) cheaper than the Volvo on gasoline/Diesel.

The charging functionality is just a bonus for hybrids (I doubt many people drive a big part of their mileage electric by plugging in). Primarily, the battery serves to conserve energy while decelerating. The BYD obviously also uses the battery as a buffer for its range extender, but the Volvo doesn’t do that.

I can easily block TikTok because it has little informational value. Youtube on the other hand is a serious and important learning resource and I would not want to block it for my kid.

At the same time, offering Youtube Shorts in the same service under the same domain is like "cabinet next to their bed with cigarettes, snickers bars, and painkiller pills" as a sibling comment aptly put it.
Parents can easily control which parts of the internet their kids have access to

Citation needed - I think most American kids (sorry Ireland) are pretty much unrestricted on the internet by their tweens, since most parents buy them smartphones but don’t know how to do meaningful browser lockdowns.

Re:”naked people”, I think that’s doing disservice to the proponents of these controls (who I vehemently disagree with, ofc); the modern porn landscape has problems with non-consensual videos (see: Pornhub & GDP), extreme content (violence, CNC), and really harmful stereotypes about gender roles. It’s much more than just “healthy human sexuality” as many people on here seem to assume.

I think the only workable solution is a) better parental controls by default on the client level, and b) better educated and supported children. Children are smart, they know sex exists, and they know it’s something they don’t care at all about - they can be our allies in this fight.

If this move is to prevent teenagers with a motive from accessing porn, then: HA
The intent is to ask for ID in order to connect to any website, the article already says that this law will apply to any video sharing site including facebook, twitter, tiktok and even mastodon...
There's a sibling comment asking for a source, which I can't reply to for some reason.

> What Norquist and ATR want is for people to be aware of taxes.

Norquist is entirely disingenuous. Nothing would stop a tax payer from looking into the details of taxes assessed just because the government prepared something for them. (In fact, nothing would prevent a tax payer to continue to use TurboTax to verify and understand the taxation.) On the flip side, nothing about the current system actually makes tax payers more aware of the taxes they’re paying. Half the marketing of TurboTax is to allow you to finish your taxes quickly by basically just clicking through and adding basic information.

Speaking for myself, I would definitely be _more_ aware of taxes I’m paying if the government would prepare taxes for me. When comparing my filing of taxes in the US to the filing in Sweden that’s definitely the case. Sweden sends me information which I can then verify and correct if necessary. The grunge work is done and I can focus on details. In the US, I need to waste a bunch of time duplicating work and the go through the details later (and hopefully have enough time and energy to do so).

P.S. I keep using TurboTax as an example but they’re obviously not the only one. I chose them since they’ve parasitically attached themself to the current system and lobbied government to keep it from making things more efficient at a detriment to their bottom line.
This was mostly apocryphal, with one basis in reality. Spotlight reindexing could use a lot of CPU if you had a large photo library, but that was also a background task so it meant lower battery life for the day or two.

What happens in almost all cases is that people attribute things to the biggest visible change they know about, which is usually a major OS release. Facebook used to use like 30% of an iPhone’s battery life but because it was in the background people would say the iOS release did it because they remembered installing that and it changed the UI palpably, whereas the Facebook update automatically installed in the background.

I used to see this with people saying an OS release killed their hard drive: when pressed, they’d remember that they’d had things get slow or files corrupted before but hadn’t recognized that as a sign of imminent failure, whereas that OS upgrade was a really visible change which caused a ton of I/O activity.
I'm sorry, what? Are we still living in a democracy or is it already back to the USSR?
The fact that it was hard to get information meant the ones which did break out were infinitely better. The ones you could discuss things were very into the things you were discussing.

Keys and IDs in Wallet get expanded support. Users can use their ID in Wallet for apps requiring identity and age verification.

Most ISPs have a fairly effective child safety mode. Combined with one of those parental protection apps, you can probably prevent your own child from seeing anything you don't want them to.
>For some reason you and others seem to think every action or decision takes the same amount of effort and willpower

Thats a weird observation to make. can you point to where anyone has said that?

I certainty havent said things require the same effort and will power, just that any action with effort requires some willpower.
Web pages are all about tags with data and metadata. It shouldn't be hard to add metadata about content type. I never quite understood why labeling initiatives never gained traction:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_for_Internet_Content_...

* https://www.w3.org/PICS/

* https://www.w3.org/2007/powder/

Throw some <meta> tags in and browsers can parse: then have a password-protected "filter controls" area in settings (and perhaps a GPO for corporate environments).

I would think that the porn companies throwing some money at web browser developer resources to implement this wouldn't be a bad idea. Every time this idea comes up (again) they can point to it and say "we did our part, now it's up to the parents" (or whatever).
Both of them. Just to be sure. /s
No video-sharing platform for you then.
I bought the xreal air one last year. Just looks like a pair of sunglasses, plugs into my MacBook Air via USB-C, and Projects three 1080 P monitors in my field of vision.

"well, I don't know, some hard data would be good to have for this discussion."

Right, it would but collating and presenting the data would be the subject of an extensive blog. I know of specific instances but explaining the background is time-consuming and often boring as the matters in question often aren't of interest to the reader whose primary interest is the broader political issue.

Perhaps a recent HN story about how Musk's Starlink satellites are emitting spurious unwanted electromagnetic radiation and are causing interference to other radio services may illustrate the point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38857676.

One of the most important axioms of radio spectrum management is that one service should never interfere with another, it's one of the guiding reasons for the existence of the ITU—International Telecommunications Union—whose job it is to ensure that the electromagnetic spectrum is free from interference.

Had it been technically possible before say 1980 for a Starlink system to be launched then inference of this sort would never have happened because interference regulations were strictly enforced back then. Satellites would have been strictly scrutinized for interference before launching and if a 'wayward' interfering satellite made it to space then the FCC would have required it to be scuttled.

Why is this different now? Well, in the 1980s rules were relaxed, the FCC and the spectrum management departments of other governments were downsized and or outsourced and or their powers reduced because of political pressure from vested (commercial) interests who didn't want to pay extra to maintain high protection ratios on interference. Of course, this wasn't unique to spectrum management, deregulation was all the rage in the Reagan-Thatcher era, and along with deregulation came lower standards. Commercial interests argued that the standards were already too high and there'd be no problem from lowering them.

In many instances that's not what happened, this Starlink problem is but just one instance of many similar interference problems. And it's not confined to something seemingly as esoteric a RF spectrum management, just look at say the disastrous deregulation of the UK's water and sewerage systems. And there are hundreds more similar instances across many countries.

"there's still some steps to go before we reach a McCarthy-era hysteria), ..."

That's true, as there's always inertia built into human tolerance. The trouble is tolerance doesn't mean that annoyance and frustration don't still build up, as clearly they do. As we've seen throughout history, eventually, something snaps and the mobs rage—the French Revolution, US independence, the Civil War, Kent State, etc, etc.

Those in power either never see the writing on the wall in time or they reckon they can weather the storm. It's a perennial problem.

Simplest feels like a folly. No project of significance stays in a simple phase. They all grow and expand.

Having a stable reliable generally applicable decision/toolset you can apply beats this hunt for optimization to smithereens. Don't optimize case by case. Optimize for your org, for your life, lean into good tools you can use universally and stop special casing your stuff. There's nearly no reason to complicate things by hounding for "simplicity." Other people won't be happier if you keep doing side quests for simple, and you won't be either.

Out of pocket maximums and simply being able to get insurance regardless of your health is pretty huge.

I think you just identified another problem with LLMs - we don't know their values, either.

Of course when you listen to human experts you're using the shortcut (and you do it based on trust), as I already argued. You have an option (in most cases, in free societies) to dig beyond just experts judgement, you can study their reasoning, and understand their sources of both values and facts.

Anyway, I disagree with citations not being required. If Wikipedia had no citations it would be less useful (and more prone to contain misinformation). Same goes for Google. So the next best things we have to "artificial brain that contains all the human knowledge" have citations, and for a good reason.

>The usable energy is proportional to the cross-section of the borehole

I mean we thought oil the same way until we developed fracking. While it's not likely a 1:1 relationship with fracking, I'm sure some clever geologists/drilling experts could massively increase the surface area available for heating given the right incentives.

As for facilities, the volcano eruption rate is rather low on human timescales, especially for effusive eruptions that don't tend to blow the entire area to bits. Getting 50-100 years between eruptions that could possibly total the facility is likely worth it as you don't have a direct fuel cost.
Pretty cool to see another review and retrospective on Windows Me. I was just reading a contemporary review on Paul Thurrott's blog the other day [0]. I didn't use Me when it was new but I've played with it a bit as I grow my retro PC hobby. I think it holds an interesting place in Windows history, being such a short lived release that was built with the intention of being quickly superseded.

A "fun" Windows Me fact: it's intended to be pronounced "Me" (as in "I") and not as the initialism, "Emm Eee". This was a way to convey its home user-centric nature.

The main issue with smoking as “shouldn’t I just enjoy it” are the secondary effects on other people. There are ways to mitigate some of those (e.g. not smoking when anyone else is present) and others you have to choose to ignore or not consider worth worrying about (e.g. the potential costs to the health system if you do have major problems later).

Not to pass judgement. We all do things that cause secondary effects to others. I just picked smoking here as an example because everyone knows what those are.

This is an extremely short-sighted and crypto-moralistic position masquerading as reasonableness.
