What rights in the US would have helped here the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't already do. Section 9 and 10 seem to cover this well
I wonder how that's going to fare with the clamshell configuration of the starship in its reusable configuration. If there is one advantage to traditional rockets, its that you can get away with really bulbous disposable fairing configurations needed to fit something large and cumbersome like a station component.
Is it true you can use a fake name (and presumably address I guess) for privacy.com credit cards?

I have virtual cards through capital one but they seem much less feature rich.

This is what Credit Cards do. They're shady AF but have no problem cancelling your card due to inactivity.
I'm thought the Netscape logo only animated when the page was loading? I found myself instinctively hitting the stop button to try and make the logo stop looping.

Overall, it's really great though. I love the stuff popping up on Neocities.
We provide ID verification specifically for eCommerce to help prevent chargeback fraud: https://getverdict.com

This is the first where I've heard of using IDv for preventing triangle fraud on the fulfillment side.

Just curious - how does this fraud harm you the delivery service? The chargeback hits the merchant only no? Or are you the merchant in this transaction as well?
In china they have a saying "A punishment milder than death would not sufficiently assuage public indignation"

I only post this as a fascinating example of how different Western and Chinese perspectives can be. Not that these people would be killed in China, or that it would be justice if they were- but we don't even have this in our vocabulary!
To those interested in the actual data: On June 2023 roughly 280k failed asylum seekers were met with a a yearly deportation volume of around 16k or 6%.

Note that "failed asylum seekers" does, for the most part, not mean people actually resisting deportation in any illegal/violent way, but mostly consists of people who are being granted a sort of amnesty ("Duldung") for various reasons in line with german law.

This only leaves 54k people that would actually be candidate for deportation in June 2023, which increases the deportation rate to roughly 30%. At this pace deportation for the average failed asylum seeker that is actually traget of deportation shrinks to 3 years.

Czech government to stop offering services over IPv4 on 6.6.2032
Allow me to append a short summary in English:

- The Czech government adopted a new directive titled "The restart of DNSSEC and IPv6 enrollment in the government"

- Until yesterday, no administration on the European continent has made such a decisive step as setting a end-of-support date for IPv4

- Selected date is highly symbolic, the 6th of June, 2032, the 20th anniversary of the World IPv6 day

- This decision has already sparked discussion on the RIPE NCC forums

- "It's a signal to all internet players to take IPv6 seriously"

- Nevertheless, the EU itself has already taken even greater leap towards IPv6 adoption
Or nickel!
NASA hasn't been able since the Shuttle got retired in 2011. They've been relying first on Russian rockets and then on SpaceX ever since. There are several alternatives in development but nothing human-rated yet.
Bugs are inevitable. The real issue is with the post office management that prosecuted people they knew there was a good chance were innocent, withheld evidence, falsified evidence, and harassed journalists investigating.

What really bothers me is that the CEO of the Organisation at the time was also a Christian priest/deacon

> witness statements from Fujitsu staff due to be heard in court were then edited by the Post Office as it sought to maintain the line that the system was working well as it pursued innocent people through the courts.

People don't cancel shit because they don't know it's charging, they don't cancel shit because businesses make it artificially hard to do so, oftentimes requiring you to connect with a representative over chat or phone and having them argue with you and try to re-sell you the product. Almost every subscription I have right now was started with a free trial with a few buttons, but canceling? Canceling is usually a 20+ minute task of sitting somewhere on a computer or on a phone (or worse, both) when it could be EXACTLY as many buttons.

And we know that, because Apple basically mandated it with App Store subscriptions. Cancelling subscriptions there takes seconds. And we also know that the various subscription companies absolutely hate it.

The one that specifically burns me to no end is I recall hearing from a friend that they were on the phone with a representative from one of those meditation apps trying to cancel their subscription, and just, your product literally is made for people who struggle with mental health issues and especially anxiety, and making that base of customers jump through social hoops of fire, and argue with another person and make them stand their ground on wanting to cancel, is a SUPREMELY CLASSLESS MOVE.
Go into your banking/credit card app and enable purchase notifications. Now, every time your card is charged, you get a notification directly on your phone.

Don't recognize the charge? Deal with it immediately. Get a charge for something you need to cancel? Deal with it immediately.

The Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter

Engineers (and scientists) often boast ourselves as master of causality. We solve problem by understanding the domain. We laugh people as cargo-culting - not knowing why one does things. The Secret of Our Success shows it is a feature rather than a bug. The effect of "culture" takes much longer to manifest, often beyond our comprehension. One example given by the book is how we process cassava, lots of superfluous ritual. Without those processing culture, people get poisoned slowly. Only with modern chemistry do we comprehend the full extend of those ritual. But people have been eating cassava way before modern science were available. Similar can be said about medicine, lots of folk remedies don't work. But when they do, they do. Is not understanding a feature or a bug?

With the advent of LLM, things seem to come in full cycle. We now prompt the engine and get a result/an opinion of sort. No longer is understanding required. I see the use of LLM in software engineering very anti-engineering, hindrance to learning and understanding. But it might not be a bug after all.
I don’t think you’ve read the comment chain correctly because you’re literally just repeating what I just said.

Though you make a distinction between virtualisation and emulation when in fact they can be the same thing (they aren’t always, but sometimes they are. It just depends on the problem you’re trying to solve).
Yeah some development servers that didn't actually send the mail anywhere but did give usable error messages for example would be amazing.

To avoid it being used as an attack vector they could be tied to special app registrations that had to be registered with the mail development system in advance.
Your comment was disgusting. There’s no counter argument needed.
Company claims the change was made because Xilinx, which it bought, doesn't put country of origin on chips. However, it is keeping Made in Malaysia branding on the CPUs.
Tonic's RAG evaluation platform is Tonic Validate, which has open source RAG metrics https://github.com/TonicAI/tonic_validate, and a web app for tracking and monitoring RAG performance https://www.tonic.ai/validate.
Not OP but probably a waste of effort for an early stage startup.
I really liked Flattr, and used it for a while. The big problem was getting money in and out.

Their idea of accumulating microtransactions ("Flattrs") internally for a month and dividing up a fixed amount was a really nice idea: both to reduce payment processor fees, and to remove any anxiety about clicking on a Flattr button (the same amount was spent per month, regardless of how many things were clicked, so go ahead).

However, those monthly payments were also internal: transferred between from one user's "account balance" to another, and those balances had to be topped up manually via a rather laborious bank transfer (supposedly to keep fees down). I think there was an assumption that money would be moving around a lot inside the platform, e.g. blogger A gets Flattred for their post, and they Flattr developer B's application, whilst B Flattrs musician C's song, etc. I think reality had more of a creator/consumer dynamic, which made it more important to smoothly get money into the platform.

I think they would have fared better by allowing users to be automatically charged each month (like Patreon, etc. who came later). The "account balance" idea could be simplified to withdraw-only, for tracking how much was received (i.e. 0 for almost all users); and perhaps allow that balance to be deducted from the monthly charge. It seems obvious in hindsight, and perhaps they did change to such a model; alas, I think their early buzz was squandered due to this friction.
The contradiction I was wasn't with sticky, but the statement that "nothing changed". It seems clear that at least one thing changed, namely consumer expectation during the debacle.

The person you were responding to was arguing that that something has changed in the world. It seems you agree and think it is consumer expectation
Ah, right, thanks for correcting me.
I hope it was Kelsey of 74gear fame flying, he flies 747s for Atlas Air and has a very approachable aviation youtube channel. I'm sure this will make a fantastic video if he's at the helm.
For me is a call for boycott on one side, a call for class action in EU because such demand means:

- they plan to trap customers in subscription scheme, that's one of the few logical reasons to oppose ADDING ways to use their devices;

- they surveil and profit from data gathered form their users, to be known if under the respect of GDPR and similar norms or not;

Those reasons suffice to AVOID any vendor who have such track record FOR LIFE, even if they change after a certain backlash. That's is, people simply must understand the concept of subscription trap and the concept of ownership, witch should be known but evidently it's not that understood for the sake of human civilization and evolution.
you pick a really big number, and 10x it. it's all part of the negotiating. let a jury decide the final number. some people will tell you some formula about salary at the time, calculating anticipated increases in salary of that time, blah blah. screw a bunch of that. make it hurt.

however, isn't this a UK issue?
Let's not pretend that the only people getting ripped off are those who are 100% irresponsible and entirely devoid of any redeeming financial virtue.
Even if that were true, countries where most of the wealth is dug or pumped from the ground are the worst places to live because it can all be be easily extracted by foreign companies who pay a cut to the dictator directly and the people have nothing to threaten the laughably rich autocrat with.
I’ll not speak on the side of potential bad, but I will talk on what I see as good about these teams being CNA’d. The entire policy chain depends on them, and requires them to do their work, which makes it easy to point at as a team and say “one of our core values is making that CVE list trustable” instead of it being used to hide reports.
Socialism rewards psychopaths even more than capitalism does. In that system, the psychopaths quickly become the ones who define what those "guardrails" are, for their own personal benefit; and then use the full weight of state enforcement power to prevent any dissent.

At least under capitalism, the decentralized free market eventually erodes the ability of a corporation run by psychopaths to continue to operate, if not as fast as we might like.
Mistral fine-tunes are competitive with GPT 3.5 and 4 on many, many tasks, people are just enamored with the (admittedly impressive) ability of very large general models. In terms of business applications, the range of things that need GPT-4 to solve vs. Mistral 7B is diminishing small and infinitesimal when you factor in Mixtral. I’m all for doing advanced research to create the most interesting and powerful thing possible, but in more practical terms, OpenAI has zero moat. Once the infrastructure around open source stabilizes and we get a few more rounds of improvement to efficiency, I think this will be plainly obvious.
I have a personal belief that I can’t quite articulate in rigorous scientific terms that there is some information-theoretic barrier for us to understand the “true nature” or “essence” of our own intelligence, and so if we can’t get to that, we’ll never be able to model it (notwithstanding “all models are wrong”).

The belief that we can get to AGI comes off as religion to me. It is a substitute for something we can’t really understand, and it will continue to shift the more we learn, yet always remain out of reach. There will be some true believers, and some people simply gunning for power.

Might as well call AGI Nirvana.
Sadly, this is not at all surprising. Making journalism sustainable is incredibly difficulty in the internet age, and it's even worse for subjects like this, where competition from social media is intense and the barrier to entry is nearly nonexistent. Plus, even the best publications struggle with not being the easy money spinners their billion dollar owners want them to be, since it's not the kind of business that's going to get you a unicorn/FAANG level return on investment.

I downloaded and like the simplicity. I think that there is a way to give the user far more utility here. At least in on large phones liked Z-Flip, or tablets, or computers. Anything touchscreen is best too.

• outline (like Workflowy)

• Wiki

The wiki will be collaborative between users or across a company in paid version of app.

The wiki will be basically a scrollable web page that has images and text. The usage pattern should be to save web pages while making optional voice transcripted records of your thoughts...and then when you do a daily or weekly review, you're actually able to do some research based organizing of the new material and place within the context of the other days' and weeks' research and saved links.

Yeah, that would be epic.

No, but NASA's on the cusp of regaining the ability with SLS rocket/Orion capsule/Artemis program. First crewed launch targeted for Sept 2025.
But did Bell Labs put those out as products? There are things that have come out Google (Kubernetes, their contributions to Linux and containers, gRPC, HTTP/2-3, Bazel, Go, compression, etc.) that have been similarly useful for others to build businesses on, the same way Bell and Xerox's research stuff became the foundations for other things outside of those companies.

But the discussion here is around Google's inability to create good products, so I don't think the comparison is apt.

A previous Ars article gives some additional perspective on the crew's relationship with ESA. Axiom is also partnered with Thales for a commercial space station, so other links already exist.

By filling this astronaut reserve pool, ESA seems to have created a market for Axiom Space, a move that might raise questions given the agency’s purpose is to promote the European space sector. In fact, the ESA’s founding Convention enshrines the principle of geo-return, which grants member states at least an 80 percent return on their contributions into ESA’s budget in the form of research and development contracts. Although the cost of the Axiom missions is paid through ESA, most of this money goes to the Texas-headquartered Axiom Space and its launch provider, SpaceX.

Interesting, it feels to me like the parties do pick the candidates (in the Democratic Party at least). They obviously don't pick directly (and they work hard to maintain the perception that they are neutral on primary candidates), but between super delegates, debate entry rules, and media coordination (such as airtime and exposure), it's pretty stacked in favor of the candidate preferred by those in popwer. And that's before there's any direct coordination between the party and the candidate[1].

That depends on the card and how you acquired it. A corporate Amex is typically backed by the employee, but they are falling out of favor in part because of that.

If you have a corporate card through a bank other than Amex, there’s a very good chance you do not carry the liability for paying it.

Your employer could come after you if they feel it was used improperly, but that’s a very different can of worms than carrying credit liability.
>> The whole point of virtualization is you're running as close as possible to directly on native hardware. That's literally what makes virtualization distinct from emulation for VMs.

> You’re thinking of containerisation.

no.
Should we stop trying to enforce laws because people try to evade enforcement?
This is how it starts. First ChatGPT starts suggesting all these bloggers "Silos are fine as long as they have APIs" articles and "silo this, silo that". Soon enough the overton window has shifted and we're talking about military silos and silos having APIs in the same sentence.

Before you know it, GPTskyNet5 is firing nukes off using poorly secured and thought-out webhooks setup by some random defense contractor at missile silos because some DoE scrum master needed a promotion.

This is the beginning of the end!
I don’t know why Canada gets so many weird AF legal claims on HN and Reddit (in particular that we supposedly don’t have the right to self defence), but we do, in fact, have the right to remain silent and to not be compelled to testify against oneself.

There are circumstances where you can be interviewed without a lawyer present, but you cannot be compelled to answer those questions, and you can still consult a lawyer for all interview questions.
If you want to stop internal transparency from accidentally becoming external transparency (or leak), it becomes extremely hard to scale.
They hired smart people not to monetize their genius, but to tarpit it: to eliminate the small chance that one of them might work at a startup and build something that threatened Google's cash mashine.
We did negotiate them down a bit but we didn't feel that we could come to an agreement within our budget and decided to move on. Apparently this was an excellent negotiation tactic because they came back with an offer of $0!
> Ultimately it is your money and your problem. No one is looking out for you.

This is true, but it doesn't mean that collective solutions cannot exist or should not be desired.
This plane is a 74, so it's got 4 engines and IIRC there was at one point a trans-atlantic flight from SFO or LA (with passengers, this one was cargo) that had a compressor stall on takeoff and they just KEPT GOING on 3 engines and made it almost all the way to Heathrow before diverting due to the less efficient fuel use.

Lithium is a pretty volatile chemical though. Does the 50% more common take into account the fact that some lithium blows up?

I do this as well, but with Chase, and use a filter to stick them into their own folder so they don't hit my INBOX. I use maildir for my local email and have shell scripts built on top of easy filesystem access to my credit card purchases.

Oddly, I get emails for everything except gasoline purchases. I'm afraid to contact support because in the extremely unlikely event that it gets forwarded to the correct people, the attempted fix would break something in my workflow.
At least in Europe I've seen plenty of thermostats/boilers that support OpenTherm which allows the thermostat to set the boiler temperature instead of only switching on/off
yes but this happens in every commodity and serves to the earlier point

what happens is that because the price goes up and the margins potentially increase, more investment is tolerable for more expensive extraction methods
Yes, the DDoS followed us to networks with countermeasures, and yes, the countermeasures worked. We don't want to disclose too much about that, though.
Love that movie! What an amazing piece of small-scale sci-fi.
I work at a Fortune 50 company and the pendulum for us has already swung back around. 5 years ago it was all "move everything to public". Now, we're building a bunch of on-prem infra and there are huge projects to move workloads back.

For us, on-prem is about half the cost for compute and storage vs public cloud.
Retiring to Germany is highly problematic because of the health insurance requirements.

It is mandatory for all German residents to have comprehensive health insurance which covers all treatment for any condition at any hospital with no deductibles.

Employees are eligible for a government scheme which delivers health insurance for a fixed proportion of your income, and covers all non-working spouses and children for free. You would however have to purchase private insurance for 4 people which complies with German requirements, which would cost a fortune, particuarly if any of you have any pre-existing conditions.

I think you also really don't know much about Germany if you think it is a good place to get by without learning the local language. German is such a widespread language that Germans can live their whole lives without having to have much contact with English, whereas in smaller countries films and books in English are widespread because it's not worthwhile dubbing/translating them.
