Actually governments don't care too much about protecting local jobs. What really annoys them is not collecting their taxes.
Regardless of the reason, removing DRM was a good thing. The DRM free store is still available, and it was done years before Apple got into streaming.

I reused a small CD jewel case to store the guest network WiFi QR code on the coffee table, and I also included a NFC tag with the same info that you can tap under the QR code, with a small NFC symbol carved out in the middle of the QR code (thanks to the error correction mecanism) to indicate the possibility.
This story has close to 500 up votes as of 2:19PM Pacific and is no longer on the front page. Why flag an article that is simply trying to show how HN can potentially be improved?
The other replies are pretty good. You can find all sorts of goodies in string data inside a binary: hostnames, URL fragments, error messages or templates, credentials. Pretty much any string constants that a program might use.
One thing about self driving cars is they need the ability to command the electric power steering system. I worked in EPAS for 6 years and it was a big deal when customers started wanting to do that due to liability. My guess - and it's only a guess - would be that some situation is leading to normal epas operation getting disabled but self driving not enabled. Not sure whose steering gear they use.
I've always believed that ever higher degrees of wealth come with an obligation to manage people in better and better ways. Otherwise, wealth should be taxed so that "idle rich" end up having to live like the upper-middle-class.

IE: If you get very wealthy because you start a company, and manage your company in a way to improve other peoples' lives, that's a great thing. (Now, does Elon Musk deserve 50+ billion dollars? I'll just handwave and say that I think he could still live the same kind of life, and make a better contribution to society, with a fraction of that money.)

But, if Elon's kids all inherit many billions each, they either have to manage it in a way that improves other peoples' lives, or they need to be taxed back to the upper middle class.
Let's just have a really large number of reasonably well to do actors deciding how to allocate capital.

Unemployment has never been lower, with jobs growing every month of the past year. January 2024 saw the most growth followed closely by December 2023. https://www.axios.com/2024/02/02/us-jobs-report-january-2024
It could certainly be a bug! but it could also be a lot of other things.

Yes, the timestamp munging is an artifact of HN's re-upping system, described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 and links back from there. About the timestamps, there are past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

The original times are always available because the modified time is used only on the frontpage and the article's /item page. If you find the article on /from or /submitted, for example, the timestamp will be the original. The two timestamps converge over time.
Yes I am aware of the propaganda article contents.

Blaming Bitcoin for enabling these fossil fuel plants to continue is a red herring that distracts from the real issues: ineffective global energy policies and the threat Bitcoin poses to centralized financial systems. It’s easier for governments and critics to scapegoat Bitcoin than to admit their failure in promoting renewable energy or to face the uncomfortable truth that Bitcoin challenges their control over monetary policies. The narrative that Bitcoin only supports dirty energy is a convenient oversimplification, ignoring the broader economic incentives at play and the potential for technological innovation to drive a shift toward renewable energy sources. Let’s not mistake symptom for cause; the focus should be on fixing flawed energy policies, not demonizing a technology pushing for decentralization and innovation.

You must not be familiar with The Register. This has been its editorial voice since day one. It's equally derogatory to all subjects.
The first logical workaround that appears to violate the spirit of the law while maintaining the letter tends to work out better in fantasy than in the courtroom, as courts take a pretty dim view of that.

Not that you can't use some legal chicanery, just that you need to make sure lawyers came up with it.

This all lands pretty deep in fantasy-territory discussion without picking a particular jurisdiction, however, and assuming legislation that didn't cover that scenario.
Ecosystem and ability to hire folks who are already competent. Sure it's not the most technically optimal framework but you can build great products with it.
In an ideal world, manufacturers would begin to phase out the use of PFAS as waterproofing, which many already are. An alternative would be Nikwax, waxed canvas, or polyurethenate-coatings or TPU coatings. These alternatives are already used in many goods! For containers (not wearables), you can get aluminum, stainless steel, TI, or glass waterproof cans and jars and bottles that have threaded, screw on caps with silicone o-rings to create watertight seals.

For outdoor goods like backpacks or bags that you want to stay waterproof, I personally recommend PU and TPU coated drybags. For clothing like pants or shirts, I'd recommend opting for non-water-resistant/non-waterproof versions, and just buy an umbrella or raincoat with a PU or TPU coating to shield you rather than trying to wear clothing that will have water bead. Waxed canvas clothing is another option but it can be heavy. Cool if you are into it though, Fjallraven is famous for it, as is Filson.

I don't think you'll be too sad if your disposable food packaging gets a little soggier. You'll probably be a little more sad if you get cancer :(

So over time, hopefully you own fewer and fewer goods that are destroying the planet! Happy friday.

I use a quake style terminal. Hit f12 and the terminal appears no matter what desktop is focused.

If I didn't use that I could definitely see just using my tiling window manager to manage splits.

My personal sweet-spot for writing technical documents these days is Asciidoctor with semantic line breaks [1]. There are some warts in the asciidoc syntax but it covers a lot more of the features I need for the types of documents I'm writing compared to Markdown.

> The direct-syscalls-inside-the-binary model used by go (and only go, noone else in the history of the unix software does this) provided the biggest resistance against this effort".

I know this annoys unix people. But I have to say I actually really like that Go shakes this up. I believe the C function monopoly just isn't healthy for things. You should be able to make a new completely unrelated language. The Go developers were the first in a long time to do this, not because they are stupid, but because they were ambitious.
I'm 55 and still getting interviews... got my last job at 52.

Exactly. Too many commenters here are ignoring (or unaware of) the fact that wealth is created.

SolidJS and React are on the opposite ends of the JS framework worlds.

Solid doesn't use a virtual DOM like React. Solid is close to Svelte, Vue is in the middle more leaning towards Solid and Svelte today and eventually will be with Svelte and Solid when Vapor comes out and then React is on the other end.

Solid and React do feels similar to the developer because they both use JSX and similar APIs but they aren't compatible.
The court's functioning is absolutely still a secret to its plaintiffs [EU residents]; its location is a secret, the DOJ refuses to say if it has taken a case yet, or when it will. [That implies it has not published any rulings, or maybe it will never publish rulings]. Its decisions will also be kept a secret, from both the EU residents petitioning the court and the federal agencies tasked with following the law. Plaintiffs [EU-residents] are not allowed to appear in person [not even remotely by Zoom, it sounds like?] and are represented by a special advocate, appointed by the U.S. Attorney General.

I can't see US citizens being told to just trust a secret European court whose deliberations aren't known, yet affects their lives, visas, travels, finances etc.

"Maybe the secret part is getting in front of them." No, they already stated that the EU plaintiffs don't have the right to appear before the court. So they don't get in front of them.

On the "Animal House" taxonomy of double-secret, it's up there.
Just make money radioactive. Problem solved.
I think these are necessary pre-requisites to larger projects that you may try to bring to market. If it's too daunting and you can't ever finish then the reality is you're probably not yet competent enough. Hayao Miyazaki went through thousands of unfinished short stories and Manga before working at Toei and other studios then he finally developed enough confidence and competence and started hitting homeruns later. It wouldn't have happened without that prior buildup over decades.

This is where you are supposed to search Soviet WWII personnel and I guess that some of these documents come from here.

However, this documents lists a different address for Grigorii Schonfinkel! "Садовая-Триумфальная, д. 2 кв. 12" (Sadovaya-Triumphalnaya 2, apt. 12)

What's interesting about it that it is usually addressed as "Тверская 30". Maybe not this building after all? Or there was a reason why it was addressed that way.

https://retromap.ru/1319377_55.769246,37.605020 - Looks like the address actually existed back then, and wasn't an alias of Tverskaya 30.

This looks really nice, thank you! I’m actually building a Django and htmx app right now and will definitely be using some of these code samples.

As a side note, I really wish the use of strings as Django templates was more common and had better support in IDEs.
I think it would be really interesting to get a tracker for the ones that hit the front page, then fall off, and then surge back in 30-60 mins. I wonder what's going on with those ones.
Cached webpages have pretty much been dead since the pandemic, at least from my usage in the last few years.

There used to be a prominent cache link under the search results, then it moved to a weird overflow menu thing, and then finally about a year or more ago, Google exposed no cache version for most websites. This just seems like confirmation.

Still really shitty. I used it constantly. I hate new Google.
Seems like a lot of unnecessary self flagellation for a side project that mostly worked.
You're giving a preposterous amount of credit to executives for the value that is mostly being created by the lower level workers. So, if every CxO-level leader in the world disappeared tomorrow (or if their compensations simply got capped arbitrarily), nothing would get built ever again?
Needing more people for funding just adds friction to an already hard problem and will reduce the number of such things that get started.

I fundamentally agree with your arguments, but not your conclusion.

IMO we need a greater number of rich folks and fewer ultra rich ones. Those with over 100 billion dollars simply cannot spend it, which means capital is not being allocated at all! Bill Gates has so many employees just dedicated to spending his money responsibly, and he still keeps getting richer.
Fiat currency is a speculative gamble, and controlled by a specious and small number of players.

You could have said the same thing about it the early financial system as well.

What you have is a developed ecosystem and a developing ecosystem, and you’re pointing to the developed ecosystem and saying the developing one doesn’t have all the things. Of course it doesn’t. It’s developing. And it’s doing it in spite of the existing financial system trying to damage or destroy it periodically.

Let’s not confuse the technology innovation we’re referring for the mature ecosystem of a graduated and dominant financial ecosystem.
I’m confused - is the experience different if you pay now?
> Both [msyscall and pinsyscall] can only be invoked once by a given process, which is done by the dynamic linker.

How are/were static executables handled? I’m a little fuzzy on how execve notices that a given executable is dynamic (and needs ld.so to run it) or static (in which case.. it just jumps to the _start symbol?). If the dynamic linker isn’t involved, what calls msyscall/pinsyscall?
Oh hey, this was my side-project for a bit before CDK team took over! Super exciting to see this as part of core CDK now!
I'm on Verizon FIOS - they rolled out IPv6 a couple years back and it was so poorly rolled out and communicated (i.e., lots of things/services were complete broken) that I fully disabled IPv6 on my router and don't intend to reenable it until I have to...
The challenge is, one can usually only make that kind of trade off when something is well known enough to know the risks and benefits in a wide variety of environments.

The first real problematic PFAS compounds were in fire fighting foam used to put out aircraft fires for example, and took decades for their problems to show up.

Which requires either extremely exhaustive (or essentially impossible economically) testing, or yolo’ng it. Or only using already known compounds.
>Unless his contract specifically says that, bull.

I imagined he's not paid hourly. I have to deal with off work bad behavior so I don't see how holding someone accountable on an official social media account is too far.

>But @GarryTan doesn't sound like a company account to me (I'm assuming the 陈嘉兴 in the account display name “Garry Tan 陈嘉兴” is also personal name information, not company affiliation, please correct me if I'm wrong).

that is indeed where things get muddy and where we gotta look closer.

In this case, this isn't just some small personal account for maintaining contacts. his Bio has a banner that reads

```President and CEO
Y Combinator (insert social contacts on the right)```

and his bio reads

```President & CEO @ycombinator
—Founder @Initialized
—PM/designer/engineer who helps founders—YouTuber—San Franciscan—technology brother—Accelerate human abundance```

Other workers who mix these in their bio would at least say "Opinions are my own", which is a dubious defense for someone like a CEO, but one that was not taken anyway.

>Calling for the bad side of a double-standard to apply to all is not the way I'd choose to fix the situation.

well we've tried the good side for decades, and headway isn't made. You gotta change your approach if you want empathy.
But the government is (in principle) elected democratically.
Why would it be better to have fewer entities allocating large chunks of capital?
should rename to BOINCIT so it's a perfect anagram.
A few times I've seen a message in my car (I have an "S" and a "Plaid", neither of which are in this recall) that the power steering may not be operating properly. But despite the message, it never felt any different. The message just disappeared and I never worried about it after that...

> Also emerging on Friday, Tesla is recalling nearly all of the vehicles it has sold in the U.S. because some warning lights on the instrument panel are too small.

What warning lights on the instrument panel? Is this just a software update to the LCD display?
1.8M people over the age of 55 die every year in the US, half of which are in the labor force. Progress is inevitable as these workers age out, and younger workers take their place.

Smart athletes let technocrats (e.g. scientists and doctors) make those decisions for them!

In the case or billionaires, we know Zuckerberg is really good at making social media apps. That doesn't mean he's good at anything else!

Plenty of talented rich people have demonstrated that given the chance they'll lose lots of money on foolish ventures outside their area of expertise.
If I understand correctly what you're describing, it's more or less what's happening now. But it may not look like it if you're on the beginner grid, and may only look good/better on the larger grids (either expert size, or custom with very large size).

But in short, when you uncover the first tile of this wave, at each frame I uncover only 1/60 of the total. So if you've uncovered 600 tiles, 10 should be uncovered on each frame, and it should be done in 1 second if your display is at 60FPS.

But if you uncover 60 tiles only, it will uncover 1 per frame, and that can look pretty bland. Could it be what you see? If that's the case, I believe (with a good 60% certainty!) that I mostly need to revisit the method when it's for a small number of tiles.
Well, the examples you have mind are likely not “democratic societies” (even though they often put a “Democratic“ in their name for good measure).

But then, if you look at the US from the new deal to Reagan or most of Western Europe from WWII to the 80s, you have an idea of what a planned[1] democratic society looks like. And then the scarecrow is less powerful as an argument, isn't it?

Also, Communism hasn't been defeated by the power of the Free Market. It has been defeated by the appeal of democratic societies living under a welfare state system.

When all a democracy has to offer is a free market but no shared well-being, dictatorship is around the corner. (You can already see it with the rise of populists leaders all around the western world).

[1] there used to be so much more planning compared to what goes now that from today's perspective I feel it's fair to call that “planned societies”.
It could also be wanting to be useful. Like healing the sick vs playing golf say.

Companies vote with their $$$, and are happy to donate to any and all political parties to do their bidding, so

a) Unless it's a core part of what differentiates party A from party B, voters won't pay that much attention (compared to other issues), so parties can have the same (lack of) policy that favors the companies, to keep those donations flowing.

b) If the parties all have the same policy, there's no-one the voters can vote for to work in their interests on that issue, so they'll vote for whoever they were going to vote for anyway on the other issues.
Looks like they’re only charging him for the mosque thing where they traced his call. Presumably they can’t rule out the accounts being a larger ring of swatters. It does make you wonder that they traced the call after he had supposedly done it so many times before.
Well, considering it's a title of one of her songs, it's like saying "Shake It Off" for Taylor Swift, or "Single Ladies" for Beyoncé.

> I'll just handwave and say that I think he could still live the same kind of life, and make a better contribution to society, with a fraction of that money.

Elon's an interesting case because he very passionately and sincerely spends his money on what he believes are the most pressing problems facing humanity. Almost all of his wealth is invested towards those goals.

He's an asshole and treats people terribly. But he is very consistent about investing in what he believes to be most important.

The problem is that GDP doesn't measure the distribution of economic activity.

And reducing economic inequality might reduce GDP even as it improves the lives of poor people. Forcing people to work harder is good for GDP even if it isn't the best thing for the workers.
Really I'm just surprised they haven't done the math on those color blindness types and just added that to the WCAG algorithm. Maybe someone has already?
This is really cool. I have wasted far too many hours playing minesweeper and this adds a bit of challenge back to a game that's become a bit too mundane for me(I mostly play it to fall asleep now).

I will say though that it seems like the map ends up a bit empty, reducing the difficulty. Managed to get through the expert setting without encountering a single 5, for instance.

And a question: Does this generate maps where guessing is necessary, like the original? I didn't come across any, and I was curious whether that was by accident or design. I hate those situations in what is supposed to be a logic game.

Great work!
