How much did the current owners buy it off the church for?

And sure, some agency might have some notification about some wire transfer that happened. It doesn't mean they know what it related to. It doesn't mean the IRS has any knowledge of it.

The IRS probably didn't know and wouldn't know about the kids I have until I told them about it. Sure the federal government would have theoretically known about it from telling the Social Security Administration (not necessarily a requirement!) and later applying for a passport, but the IRS wouldn't automatically know these things. If I told your cousin something do you instantly know it? Federal agencies suck at sharing information.

I do agree we can simplify filing income taxes for the vast majority of people. I agree most of the US doesn't have a kid every year, isn't in a non-reporting real estate state, don't do a ton of stock day trading, isn't donating half their income to charities, etc. But you shouldn't assume the IRS truly knows all your tax situation, and I'd recommend still looking over that simplified return if you've had an odd year if we ever get there.

> Sounds like nonsense to me. With sufficient friction, many people pay an accountant or some tax software to maybe do it right or wrong.

Not only that, I can give you a better way to make people conspicuously aware of the amount they're paying in taxes:

1) Stop requiring income tax withholding at all. Instead, require an equivalent amount to be contributed to an IRA and not withdrawn in the same year.
2) No withdrawal penalty for using money in a 401(k) to pay your taxes.

The problem withholding solves is to prevent people from spending the money they would owe in tax by the end of the year, which this also does. But now there is no more "tax refund check" whatsoever, and no confusion that the government is paying you instead of the other way around. Instead you have to write a check against your retirement fund to the IRS, in the full amount of your tax.

No need to make the filing process a bureaucratic mess. Also encourages people to have an IRA, if they don't.
Funny, around 25 years ago as a university project I added IPv6 support to the Java JDK. Today we're still not there.
I think most web pages do not need such features. WebAssembly has seen lots of adoption on the websites that do, like Figma and Photoshop for design, Zoom and Meet for interactive video, Unity for games, etc. etc. But most web pages are just text, and that's fine.

Wasm was never intended to be used on every web page, just like the Video element wasn't.
I think there's a lot of inertia with the JavaScript-based systems and WASM represents a certain upheaval to that model. I have been toying with Blazor WASM recently though and to be honest, so far my experience has been very good, including debugging. I think WASM will grow quiet adoption over time, particularly for business apps.
> effective ... way to beat the house

Statistically, it is not effective. Your card counting needs to be (basically) perfect, and you need very deep pockets to handle extended drawdowns.
But but all the people on the interwebs told me that ipv6 is ugly and stupid and it's never going to happen!
shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated.

sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/

Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-...

Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/

Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript

(cough also my WIP game is being built in WASM.Rust, https://ant.care/ https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants I've been enjoying the experience!)
It's Indonesian, which as I have guessed, doesn't have one at least as far as I google it. But it's astonishing that this kind of book have so many translations! Even into Chinese, wow! I guess it's truly one of most influential book.
In my experience before they blocked it: it hallucinates something that looks like training data. A GitHub readme that under closer inspection doesn't actually exist and is incoherent. Some informational brochure about nothing. A random dialogue.

> mostly because we've failed at teaching our children history and basic types of government

Or you know the whole part of the history book where 20th century communists called themselves socialists too, least of which the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)...

Lenin was in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. China calls itself "Socialism with Chinese characteristics." North Korea is an "independent socialist state." Ho Chi Minh's roots were in the Socialist Party of France before being a founder of the French Communist Party.
I bet it is used in a lot of ways people don't notice. In my site[1] I use wasm to run an ancient piece of code called SGP4 to propagate satellite orbits, but it's totally invisible to the user. Someone actually ported SGP4 to JavaScript but it's slower and the results don't perfectly match the original, so it's great to have the option to run the real C version (actually the original is Fortran but the C port is the standard these days).

While using a setuid binary to edit the password/group "databases" is the historical default, there's no real technical reason why it must be that way. The passwd program could communicate with the database service via a socket. Likewise the NSS and PAM stuff could communicate with the same service via a socket. No reason for it to be lots of in-process loadable modules in this day and age.
> The services have taken the piss and now they'll get the repercussions of it.

Whose fault is it really that all content is not available on a single service? It's nobody's fault, it was inevitable given how things work.

How could you "fix" it? You'd need legislation saying that all content must be made available for licensing at the same price for every service. But that's not enough, because why would HBO sell their content to Netflix and vice versa? No, you'd have to force them to make it available. But that's not enough either, as they could just set the price extremely high. And at this point what would be the point in having multiple streaming services at all? Perhaps we need legislation that enforces separation of content producers and distribution, like the Glass-Steagall Act but for TV, or Net Neutrality?
Because if I'm getting threatening messages telling me not steal at the start of a movie that I have paid for I am going to be pissed off, and I will react by not paying media in the future. Especially since experience has told me that there's zero repercussions for pirating, and it's usually far easier to pirate than to pay.

Note that, rationally, I should take note of the distribution company and react by not paying for their media in the future. But I don't have time for that, so I'm more likely to react by not paying for any media of a similar type (movies and TV) in the future.
Sad that even for experts ipv6 is still a no go filled with landmines.
The German had just shown that they would fight to the last minute, enrolling cripples, children and old men in the Volkssturm. It was perfectly rational and reasonable for the US leadership to believe the Japanese were going to be just as stubborn and fanatical. In fact it would have been simply naive for them to believe otherwise.
You and met at Kepler's way, way back when you were talking about your "Silicon Snake Oil". You signed my book and wrote in it "I hear you, John!". I have no idea what we talked about or what you agreed with me about.
From what I understand, it’s still pretty clunky to do multithreading with it. So people who want the speed of near native execution often also want extra threads.
Yes, but WASM does not solve a problém which (many) people have. Of course there are some applications, like online image or video editors.
Dismantling Knowledge Silos
This also blew up on every social media and news site as well, not just here.
Very impressive, and kudos to the developers and originators.

I just hope Stract doesn't go 'corporate' the way DDG did. :(
> social scientists overstep their bounds and try to use their latest shaky research results to make recommendations in areas like parenting, management, and public policy. This usually ends up making things worse for those of us who have to live in the real world.

Social scientists actually have data and deep expertise. Every recommendation should be examined critically, but why should we distrust social science recommendations more than those without data (and often without expertise)? What other basis is there that you trust?

And is there any basis for your very broad generalization? You criticize social scientists for misinformation; what should we think of your comment? It looks like you are just repeating commonplace biases; is that the basis?
Having grown up in a different century, I'm even comfortable if the phone stays behind when I leave.
I would be interested in the long perspective of constantly reinvented gui toolkits and what he thinks is progress vs reinvention.

Early html was surely reinvention, but CSS gave us the first fine grained presentation customization mechanism.

Material design? If I was a Soviet despot... Well anyway.

Ui is alas more fashion than function. I remember the original iPhone and is realistic apps, which angered UI designers so much that we now have buttons with no visible feedback as to if they are clicked, and anonymous unicolor squares everywhere.
I don’t mind them operating as a business and I’m happy to pay for a service that is providing me value. But I am unwilling to put my own time and effort into patching the shortcomings of whatever dumb heuristic they’ve implemented as “household” detection. I have _slightly_ more important things to be doing right now, and as we’ve already noted in this thread: Netflix isn’t the only game in town anymore…

NetBSD seems to have more mature support for non-x86 architectures and also tends to run on old and arcane hardware.

It also just feels like classic BSD Unix, for better or for worse.

Personally I find NetBSD's pkgsrc package system to be very useful as well since it is portable to other OSes (including macOS and Linux) and doesn't require root access to install or use.
You are right that there are software bugs that aren't memory bugs.

Now as GP was saying, Rust inherently mitigates a great deal of generally serious software vulnerabilities, which is great, even if it doesn't mitigate anything else.
I remember findind this site when solving exercise of creating sign function for Z with arithmetic operators only. I used this[1] page to cheat and reimplement mod in C (by default % is rem) with defined zero. Unfortunately it doesn't helped me yet, but I still like this site.

Unless Netflix compares the performance with Linux and publishes the results, it's hard to know if it's a great idea or just based on the whims of the most senior sysadmins.
What is an HDMI dummy plug? I read the description, but didn’t get it. What does it do?
Expected return on a machine and profit margin on that machine are literally identical. Imagine there's a hypothetical $1 machine where we simply remove variance. So you insert $1 and you get $0.75 back. It should be clear that for each $1 of revenue, the casino profits $0.25. This is a 25% profit margin. Variance can add some noise, but does not change the long-term expectation, which is what the regulations are based on.
im really sure you have found the answer, it’s most likely more of a perceived thing than any of us wants to admit. DEFCON attendees can be walking stereotypes at times anyways, but the combination of drunk, low yielding hacker(wo)men(tm) roaming your hotel probably just made the juice not worth the squeeze.
Fine, but then why talk about Newton if you are aware you know nothing about them? Talk about what you know.
Amazon Prime Video is even worse, on Linux they only serve 480p. Any pirated file is much better quality.
Thank you for your clarification. I was aware that a VC fund isn't as simple in structure as having an individual 'own' it, but I was using some shorthand. Maybe 'manage' would've been closer to the mark.
Thanks! I'm very unlikely to fly to the US for conferences though (in fact I've never been there in my life!). Especially to Seattle as it's so far away from me in Europe. I'm in Spain which is pretty much a low-wage country so things like intercontinental flights and foreign hotels are prohibitively expensive.

Boston might be an option if it just happens to be around a time I might visit for work (but again I've never been there in my life so it's not all that likely even though we have a major office there).

Why NetNewsWire Isn't Available for Vision Pro
The Japanese were killing more civilians in China and other occupied territories in two weeks than a single nuclear bomb did. If the bombs shortened the war by just a month, and that's a perfectly reasonable estimate, they were morally justified.

Read up on Japanese atrocities. They were just as bad as Nazi concentration camp.
Thanks. I wasn't aware that it was only a single patient who developed MTC.
I have several different specialists I've had to see and the minimum wait is 3 months, usually 4 to 6.
More importantly, the pirated content isn't DRM-encumbered, you get to keep it and it can't be pulled whenever the streaming service feels like it. So the same situation as with DVDs all over again.
Dismissing Freud
Frankl doesn’t exactly object to this idea. It’s more like he’s proving Freud wrong.
Don't all cars have this? I've driven lots of different cars from all kinds of manufacturers and they all have Bluetooth lag, sucks if you want to watch YouTube just sitting in the car waiting for something.
Even if you're right, you should explain your statement when you make it. Otherwise you bait people.
DEF CON started as a bunch of teenagers running away from home to get ridiculously drunk and trash some place, and it hasn't changed much. Vegas was the perfect choice. It was a party. Getting to smash up an obscene capitalist hellhole was a key perk, and still is to this day.
You need to check a calendar and see the current year - the days of Casinos' roughing up card counters is long long long gone. Might be great for your screenplay or fan fiction but doesn't match reality.
What projects are you working on?

Are there any local Rust communities or meetups?

Any challenges you've faced specific to our locale?
With NetBSD, I've discovered an OS that gives me joy in a way that's hard to describe: NetBSD is neat, works everywhere, and its users are friendly.

It's not as well known as FreeBSD (or Linux) but yet you've got everything in a smaller community that's well organized and big enough that you can, share, and learn with them. I like that pace :)

I hope I will be able to offer minimal contributions to the kernel: for now, my project is adding an init_flag to pass the kernel to be loaded,and the init run too, like --init-args do similar on FreeBSD or Linux,

My other project is about boot time metrics: https://old.reddit.com/r/NetBSD/comments/1agmfja/collecting_...
My other small project is for metering boot: I'ts just small sqlite database that'll automatically extract tslog boot info to better track regressions, improvements etc: with a kernel that now boots in 60 ms or less, you want very accurate numbers!
Not sure if WASM is there yet, but maybe the crud app can be built using a programming language that the developer prefers? Like Java, C#, Go, Rust, C++, whatever instead of JavaScript/TypeScript?
> I DONT WANT TO TALK to people in grocery line, especially when I don't have a phone. I perfectly ok to just stand quietly.

I do! My day is almost always made better by a random encounter with a stranger. I wish I was confident enough to start those interactions myself, but I always inevitably think back to messages such as yours, and my anxiety gets the better of me.

>Are you really this upset because people don't know a 60 year old movie reference, and downvoted a comment that didn't add to discussion?

Maybe you should read more carefully before replying.

I already said above that I was not complaining.

As for my comment (the supercali... word) not adding to the discussion, you are wrong again. The comment was in the same spirit as my parent and grandparent comments, who used words like cromulent, embiggen and perfectumentous.

>And you need to flex your age because of it?

Wrong again. Nothing in my comment shows that I was "flexing my age", as you call it.

>If you get this upset you don't have to post on this site.

Oh, I don't mind posting. I am having fun. I don't let comments like the one that I replied to, spoil my fun.

>Or you can learn to be not as reactive to social media.

Er, the term is "social" media, not "lone wolf baying at the moon" media.

It indicates people reacting (by replying) to other people, which could include approvingly, neutrally or critically, just like in real life, you know.

But there is something in what you say. This "comments about comments about comments about ..." scenario is getting boring and tedious.

From now on, I'll let the blind downvoters be blind downvoters and keep doing their thing. As I said earlier, HN points are not at all important, to me, at least.
Ahh I see. This way it makes a lot more sense, thanks for the explanation :)

I go to a lot of European hacker parties/camps and I can certainly recognise the mindset you mention (and I identify with that mindset as well even though I work in a corporate job). For this reason Las Vegas made no sense to me but in light of your comment it does now.

And yeah getting ridiculously drunk is definitely part of the experience :D

> Other side of the equation is - Production of Content has become cheap

I spend a lot of time in both production and post production. The price for good content has certianly decreased but it most certianly hasn't become any definition of cheap. Consumers want very hogh quality content these days and that only comes with experienced staff, you can use cheaper gear.

> Distribution has become free with global reach

Every time someone says this I want to know what where they get this information. So now I am going to ask, prove it. Show me the VOD service or streaming service that is free with global reach. Even network egress from any provider costs a ton of money nevermind compute for transcoding and storage costs. Again prove it.

There are concepts though shared by the area. Piety. Face culture. Ancestry worship. Conservative values.

In 2021 I paid in cash, showed my physical ID and vax card, and was on my way with my badge. Nothing about the exchange was recorded. They take privacy incredibly seriously, especially the goons working registration. There was also basically no COVID that year, despite DEF CON happening right during the Delta outbreak. A big nursing conference the week before got hit hard with Delta, but DEF CON took that shit seriously, and it worked well.

Pretty sure there was no vax check in 2022 and 2023, and I do know some people who got COVID in those years, but people who took decent precautions were generally able to dodge it.
you say that like a person informed enough to know what a white hat is lol. Let’s be real here, even the ethical hacker bunch can look VERY wonky and rowdy to an outsider, especially if you are as far removed as the hospitality industry. The only time they had to deal with hackers in the recent past was decidedly painful for them
> But you still have to explain the observation that the night sky is empty of signs of life.

It's really not that hard to explain. The last time I looked into this it was the case that we wouldn't be able to detect ourselves more than a light year out. The closest star is the red dwarf flare star Proxima Centauri at 4.2 ly. So, the question really isn't "where is everyone?" but "why is no one doing active SETI right now in a way that we can detect?".

That's exactly OPs point, we are heaping assumptions upon assumptions and most people discussing this topic don't even know how mind bogglingly huge those assumptions really are.
I think a lot of folks commenting here think these bans are an attempt to reduce plastic usage or CO2. The bags are a litter problem, and the bans solve it.

My lifehack was to do this in the morning, at 4 AM or so. Gaming, books, movies, whatever I want done. Often I do something more productive than scrolling reddit all night, but you can do something unproductive too if you so desire.

You also get really irrational when sleepy. There's this phenomenon of being too tired to sleep, and you end up in a loop of being too tired because you're not getting any sleep.

Another lifehack to sync your body clock is just to not sleep. You're up past 3? Take a bunch of caffeine and stay up. You'll fuck up your day and feel horrible, but you'll likely be asleep by 7 PM that day, lol.
