Whats more amusing is that the DOJ and FinCEN think their KYC and anti money laundering regime works simply because people with sanctioned names don't have bank accounts here…. in their name

They seem to completely not notice that every individual and business would never know if another bank account existed in their name if it wasnt used in a different kind of crime or overdrawn forever.

there are plenty of people that just want access and dont do anything bad with it, aside frok the paradoxical standard of having access or impersonation to be bad

same is true of credit, although the original identity can see the extra credit line added, sometimes the phantom is a better steward of your credit than you are. Like “wow mixed lines of credit, paid on time! thanks undocumented person!”
Most companies would save money getting reducing, or rid of the office space, as some did after covid

Most companies advertising jobs, have remote positions now

I don't see a RTO movement, I think they are experimenting what works best, trying to get a balance. But their processes have not evolved enough to include remote workers

Software development tasks are hard to estimate. How can a company, without being too invasive, make sure a employee is not underworked or overworked?
I also use generated "passwords" for security question answers because most of the questions are idiotic and easy to guess for someone who is really targeting you.

They don't need to be plausible sounding, by the way, a random string of characters is fine.

Pet's name -> probably in your Instagram

>Are you suggesting it's because of plants and not because they're poor?

I believe they are suggesting that the diet being plant-based is not a guarantee of health or a long life-span, contrary to what the parent comment implied.

And that nutritious and healthy diet is not necessarily plant-based.
I agree on every level, but I'm compelled to remind you this is the America where wendy's (?) had to revert to a 1/4 pounder from a 1/3 pounder bc people thought they were getting less meat. And let's not forget the ever-present anti-education cohort that can't be convinced math is good even when you tell them it's how you calculate discounts or tips.
What do you mean? Big tech advertising unfortunately works too well for me. A friend heavily uses the look alike feature on fb to target similar people that purchased his product. Fever ticketing also uses this too.

If you’re having ad quality issues, it could be that they don’t have good advertisers matching your profile.
Two problems:
1) As people have found out all too often, something you previous had access to, suddenly you don't because the streaming service suddenly removes it for some reason. This is extremely common. This is much more common with movies, admittedly.
2) For music in particular, why pay a monthly fee for something you listen to over and over? That seems very strange to me. I own albums I've had for decades; the idea that I should have been paying a monthly fee just to keep access to them sounds literally insane.
Head tracking can be disabled along with spatial audio enabled. Spatial audio is a theoretically great feature even in now with proper mastering, but I think head tracking is an optional feature that's prepared for AR.
The question will be will the distribution of ibeer/games to genuinely innovative uses of the form.

That being said I don't know what the first "wow" app was for the iPhone other than games?
Caveat: contractors are also into disposables in some cases. I had a conversation with our electrician the other day, and he told me there are tools he invests in, and very similar - to a layman like me - tools he buys absolutely the cheapest brand, because he knows the latter are going to get damaged regardless of quality, so he treats them as consumables.

And there's a systemic solution, called unemployment insurance, that every company is required to pay into, and they pay more when they lay people off. What else would you have us do?

These are grown professional adults we're talking about, not helpless wards of the state. It's not unreasonable to expect people to be able to take care of themselves.
I imagine Quickbooks is adding more features as part of an upsell. The business loans by paying invoices upfront was a bit of a ZIRP policy though (now interest rates to SMB's likely would be prohibitively high, ~15%).

Just to clarify, PUE of 1.1 means 10% power waste not spent on computing. However, Google datacenters are extremely efficient, and they design everything end-to-end for efficiency. A normal datacenter with less efficient cooling, less efficient power delivery, less efficient buildings, etc. easily adds up to a lot more wasted power.
Agreed from personal experience. And a huge component of housing is where you live.

I'd argue that the single most financially-beneficial choice you can make as a SWE is finding a remote or hybrid job, then leveraging that to live somewhere you enjoy that allows you to save much more money.
Yes and no.

With limited IPv4, many places have dynamic IPv4 in a way or another, or have IPv4 behind some sort of NAT, so the actual IP of the accessing device may be hidden, or are private addresses. Anyway, that doesn't mean that i.e. your ISP couldn't be asked what person was using certain dynamic IP at some time.

With IPv6 it depends on implementation. Your device may have a public IPv6 address, persistent or not, and you don't need to be behind some sort of NAT (unless it is something to access ipv4 addresses), so if a lot of those conditions apply you might be tracked.

But there is a lot of conditionals in both sides, and the elephant in the room is that you are tracked for more things than just your IP address.
The thing is, with my mediocre $5 VPS, all I needed to do was copy four lines of config files (as documented by the VPS provider) and open a port in the firewall on the server itself, just like on IPv4.

Amazon is horribly behind on a lot of things (just look how long it took them to get DNSSEC working, and it took them a couple of tries to not break entire domains for people using it!). They're ahead of Azure, but that's about the best you can say about that.

I suppose it makes sense, IPv4 addressing is now an additional method to make money for Amazon, so why make it easy for customers to migrate?
What is the Mercedes progress?
Probably makes verification easier because you don't have to worry about the case of "sharing resources between hardware threads" - instead you can focus on worrying about the only-slightly-less-complicated "sharing resources between privilege domains on a single hardware thread".

edit: Instead running two hardware threads interleaved and sharing the resources on a single core, the implication is that you're turning it into a problem of scheduling work on separate cores with some provably separate resources. That probably makes it easier to have certain guarantees, and leaves you more time to worry about resources that you really do need to share but cannot afford to duplicate/distribute across the machine. Sometimes you really want two threads to share memory!
How are attackers getting username and real names from this? Surely the password reset page doesn't reveal that information?
Why would they care?
It's kind of a misunderstanding to say that IPv6 became official in 2017.

The IETF has multiple standardization levels, with Proposed Standard being the first and Internet Standard being the last (there used to be Draft Standard in between but it was eliminated). Proposed Standards are deemed ready for deployment and lots of important protocols (e.g., TLS, QUIC, etc.) are at Proposed Standard. IPv6 went to PS in 1998, and people have been trying to deploy it ever since, so it's really more like 25+ years since it was official.
Does Apple not have a business listing management system?

On Google Maps anyone can submit a correction. Business owners can also sign up for an account, verify ownership with a mailed postcard, and then claim and protect their listing from rogue edits.

How does it work on Apple?
I'm continually amazed at how anyone can pull money from someone else's bank account in the US just from knowing their account and routing numbers — and they're on every check.
Watching the demos for this the phrase "Apple are building the end of culture" came to mind.

> There are standards for sizes of screws, washers, motors, cables, plugs, sockets, ...

Looking at my iFixit screwdriver bit set for electronics, which sports some 60+ bits and still doesn't cover everything I happen upon, I'm thinking the standards are being less than helpful here. I mean, it's good to have them, but it would be better to have way fewer equivalent options.

good job all the networks cables are glued in and no one ever plugged a cable into the wrong port, or doing so might result in all the devices behind that firewall getting exposed directly to the internet and no one noticing because everything still works.

but Im done burning karma on this one, good luck have fun.
Maybe prefix the answer with "precise match only," in all caps?
You can give unique emails to every service, not provide your real DOB, use randomized security questions, and a per-service alias name.

The only cases where this doesn’t work are banking and airlines, which are required to check your government ID. Trello isn’t, and you can give them a burner forwarding email and fake name so this kind of thing doesn’t affect you.

You’d be surprised how much business you can conduct without providing your name. (pro tip: the “name” field in the credit card form is not matched against the cardholder.)

Also, make sure your CC billing address is a post box, so you’re not giving your residential address to everyone you transact with (the address/zip is matched).
Also even for HTTPS adoption - it was introduced in 1994, and in 2010 even major websites like google and facebook were basically only bothering to secure their login page which is how Firesheep came to be. It was only really that illustration of the business need that caused anyone to start bothering, and despite that demonstration, adoption was below 50% as late as 2018
I’d imagine sending the message from an airport wifi IP would get it priority .
Ask HN: Why isn't a reason for flagging a submission required
I was curious if anyone knows why HN doesn’t require a justification to be given when flagging a submission. For example, I routinely see submissions posted when cloud services are down. Tonight I posted Peloton’s status page when there services were down a second time today, and my submission was immediately flagged (https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39098237).

I find it quite irritating that your submissions can be anonymously flagged with no justification given. There’s also no way to dispute the flag.
It helps that pointer-to-T is a distinct type, where (apart from Ada) index-into-array-of-T is just like any other integer.

I’m not shameless the anti-capitalists are.

I asked a friend of mine @ google about what-next in ML the other day, and they recommended this post from a friend of theirs.

Observing many researchers using the same data (2022)
add a software router to the network that hands out public ips to all the devices on the network.

or better, just accidentally switch a cable over from the router to the routers switch, see if anyone notices their private ips all became public ones.
Internet Protocol version 10 (IPv10) (2017)
This is also kind of how the conversation went, though. Each sides drew a line on the sand each and two crossed at a steep angle. The European side said that's impossible and the conversation ended.

It was also clear that the European parts were pretty upset, if not felt threatened, about the volume and growth of Japanese users. They came in numbers, they speak languages most don't understand, they post content most aren't interested in, they themselves aren't interested in following European laws -

well, that kind of sound like certain kinds of problem that happens IRL...

e: also, however anyone frames it, it won’t change the fact that they put a lot of effort to keep networks segragated and fractured, rather than the whole unified and distributed.
Hyperthreading works really well when the same code is running on each core, but the data dependencies are different. Databases and ray tracing are probably the two best examples of this, but any parallel code that does a lot of random memory access or "pointer chasing" will benefit a lot.

With typical database servers, hyperthreading provides about 1.4x the performance "for free" because it allows execution units to do something useful while another thread is waiting for memory.

Where it isn't useful is typical game engines, except in some corner-cases as you've noticed.

Typical game engines like to have dedicated cores with the highest possible performance. Hyperthreading improves overall throughput at the expense of single-threaded throughput.

Similarly, game engines tend to run task-per-thread with different code, which tends to pollute the L1 code cache too much. So if two different threads are running on the same core but are doing different things, they'll fight over this precious resource.

Intel measured something like a +20% overall improvement averaged out across a wide range of workloads. A few had regressions, and a few (like ray tracing) had huge benefits.

IMHO, hyperthreading makes the most sense for servers, or laptops with a small number of cores (2-4). For high-end gaming, 16 cores with HT off will likely have the best performance.

This may well sometimes be true, but I doubt it passes over to "often".

Right, and the local bit being 0 is currently undefined, but the original and lasting idea (apparently) is to create a central registry for it, so that in some future case where you have to merge corporate networks with their own ULAs there is zero chance that there would ever be a collision between the two.

Even in so far as the local bit being 1, there have been at least two attempts to create a "voluntary global registry" for your randomly generated prefix, mostly for the same "collision avoidance" stated above.

In either case, somewhat unintuitively, those are still _global_ addresses, and don't have the same level of "non local routing" restrictions that the RFC1918 address space explicitly gained.

It's been a mess, and at some point, the IETF just seems to have given up on it.
I hate this. That's not what free means to 99% of consumers. I refuse to use it that way.
Reassigning a block sounds a lot harder than the IPv4 version of making something accessible, sending out a single packet to hole punch the NAT.
I’d go one step further and say that the government also has no right to know where you sleep.

This isn’t a prison, my location isn’t anyone’s business but my own.
Unfortunately that particular test telling everyone their fingerprint is unique isn't very useful.

Try something like fingerprint.com, close your browser session, go back, and compare IDs.

On Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser, it should generally register each session as your first session, with unique IDs. If not, the useful life of the tracking should be short.

Some tip that I read on the internet if your child wants to have a look into the cockpit: don't ask before the take-off because at that time the pilots will have a lot of things to do (doing checklists, preparations, ...). On the other hand, after the landing asking to let your child see the cockpit will have a much higher chance of being successful.
I will note that while 20,000 chemical compounds sounds like a lot I don't know that is true.

Aren't there hundreds of compounds in an orange?

I do agree with the conclusion though, we likely have tasted (or could have tasted) weaker options over the years.

I wonder if the real conclusion is "we don't understand the human body enough to predict what will work so getting lucky is our only option".

This is an obvious Straw man[0] fallacy.

Intuit is a corporation engaged in lobbying efforts in order to retain and/or expand its market-share and not an individual needing representation in a criminal indictment.

Unless your position is that Intuit corporate officers should be criminally prosecuted, which, if that is the case, I apologize for my misunderstanding and can see your point.

Not having to worry about if hyperthreading helps or hurts should make it less confusing. If your threads are cpu-busy, run one thread per core and you're done.

If your threads are io-busy, pick thread counts based on io limits (depending on where on the throughput/latency spectrum you fall)

If you've got P and E cores, you might need to do some perhaps new stuff to balance threads --- the old way where an e core was about half the perf of a P core, so two threads on P and one on E was kind of even won't work without hyperthreads, but if you don't cpu pin your threads, maybe it works out. (Maybe the OS needs to do more work to track usage though)
I didn't propose that Russia had any capacity to realistically attack US mainland at any given point, but it had plausible capacity to attack US forces on allied territories in attempt to overtake allied territory if it were not effectively countered by the allied effort.

This could have easily developed into a strategic nuclear exchange.

But what Russia did with relative success was to infiltrate US using its spy network and soft power. Even today there still is a large number of useful idiots in US and in the West in general who effectively help Russian goal even when it is has clearly displayed that it is a genocidal dictatorship.
Because people care if they or their kids are having their own learning and development impacted.

While they do not care if the companies ability to function is degraded. Notice how the people who are impacted by this are the ones calling to return to in office.
Not really; they sell each x86 core as two vCPUs. There could be some confusion if a new generation has fewer vCPUs but better performance. Customers should do their own benchmarking but I'm sure many of them don't bother and just choose VM types based on specs.
What I got from it was "don't post about your child on social media, and try to make them less associated with you". I agree that this will only go so far though.

The US or EU could likely do it, yes. If someone is willing to put up the capital to do it. The point of Sam Altman's statement is that he wants someone to do it.
And the reason it's recommended against is that you might later decide to join your local network to another one and then you'll have to renumber them. Which is exactly the same problem with IPv4 local addresses. Except unlike IPv4, there is a mechanism to prevent that ahead of time
