Many people I know, despite commanding six-figure salaries, are not able to really take a hiatus from work. Imagine if you had kids. If we were in just about any other first-world country, there would be a safety net for the unemployed. The system we have now is not a safety net- it's designed to be as difficult to apply for as possible, and in states like Florida, unemployment is $275/week, capped at around $3k. $275/week doesn't even pay my mortgage.
As a technical solution: Could the identifier be per flight and anonymous, rather than having ID be per plane, with the owner/user published (where?)? Would that meet other needs?

The FAA could have a database connecting flight IDs with (confidential) plane IDs.

Transformers that transform your body
Agreed, OP has seen too many movies. Other suspicious things (some of which suggest a longer-brewing confrontation):

- The "hint of a Russian accent" that Zac supposedly put on (but nobody except Shamji ever noticed)

- How quickly Shamji and his associates were to claim that Zac "seemed suicidal"

- The "heating up knives and clearing up blood" text from Shamji hours before Zac's death

- The traces of blood spotted by the police when they searched the apartment Zac jumped from

But hey, the cops asked a few questions and none of these shady characters instantly signed a confession so what more could they possibly do?
Logistics experience seems more relevant to that job
I think it's the other way around - some people saw the possibilities and formalized their thoughts as extropism. It's not the first group to have these thoughts. See Russian Cosmism, for example.
The article talks about the timeline. Coal burning started roughly 100 years before their measured warming effects.
You are not seeing any downside because you are only thinking about yourself. Somebody made the website that you are visiting and enjoying. They spent time, effort, and maybe some money to make it. And they get paid by ads to keep access free. Now, I know hackers will come screaming about how their human rights are violated by seeing an ad on a webpage. Okay, block the ads then. But for a business to block the ads of other companies and then put their own ads. If you don't see how that is wrong, then I don't know.
Why do you think anyone reserves the right to block funding to what gov determines as “hate speech”. If someone wants to pay for hate speech they can anyways do it right now with donations.

Ideas like this quickly devolves into gov marking any message that criticizes them as “Hate speech”. Democracies like Japan, to an extent Singapore do that already, officially by law.

Nations like Canada, India, Israel, Hungary, do it indirectly in unofficial but rampant ways.

Speech is not a crime, listening to hate speech and starting to be unjustly hateful towards people is a crime.

Punish the people who discriminate and act on the advice of hate speech. Do not punish speech, or else soon, you’ll get confused when gov starts changing what “hate” means.
As Scythe pointed out, because in the US the vast majority of policing is not federally funded, its not at all uniform, so the effects of the FBI and CIA and other federal agencies in toto is negligible. And state-police, while having a larger effect than the federal agencies, also have significantly less power over local jurisdictions than local police departments. The US--and honestly this is to its credit--has remarkably strong local police departments that are funded predominantly by the residents they police. This is even parodied, or criticized, in media when they show "small town america" cops who are either totally incompetent because there is almost never crime in the town, or are in league with nefarious forces and have to be investigated by outside agencies (see Killers of the Flower Moon, which is specifically about the formation of the FBI for that purpose, even if it has expanded its purview since the early 20th century.)

Even if state police are federally funded, why does that matter? The use of that funding is still under the power of the state (or else it would be unconstitutional, for the federal government to direct how state institutions are operated).
> But a relational DB isn't right for every workload.

While sometimes true, I'll counter that it's more common that the application was not truly designed for a relational DB, and instead was designed for reading and storing JSON.
Adam Back certainly fits the profile the best. Invented Hashcash, has a Ph.D. in Distributed Systems, and is English. He's also still deeply involved with Bitcoin and has a lot of influence, which best can be seen when he successfully proposed the "speedy-trial" activation method for Taproot.
Honestly, I think anything that brings more attention to the stupendously wasteful travel habits of wealthy individuals such as celebrities and politicians is a public good and should be encouraged.

Ms. Swift has essentially unlimited resources to protect her privacy, so perhaps she should choose a method of transportation that doesn't involve broadcasting ADS-B information across the continent as she travels.
As a furry, there's one thing I haven't seen discussed; maybe this is about extracting more revenue from higher paying customers, but I feel like it's probably a sacrifice of revenue in favour of brand image/perception.

Perhaps they no longer want to be known for being the place where the "weirdos" are bouncing around the hallways. A la the poor normies staying at a hotel during a fur convention, or trying to get into the bar during a meet (though the whole place is often hired out by us; we _definitely_ provide enough alcohol revenue)

Works fine when I log on. At the beginning of the Musk era, everyone said the technology would fail. That hasn't been my experience. Plenty of tweets appear when I go to the site.

I actually had Coil set up on a few of my sites, and I would occasionally get small micropayments showing up in my ledger. I was sad to see it fail, but I also profoundly agree with CC that for the web monetization API to actually work, it needs to distance itself from the crypto/grift ecosystem.

> budgets often work differently.

Very differently. Instead of a system you continually iterate on for its entire lifetime, if you're in a more regulated research area you might build it once, get it approved, and then it's only critical updates for the next five (or more!) years while data is collected.

Not many of the IT principles developed for web app startups apply in the research domain. They're less like cattle or pets and more like satellites which have very limited ability to be changed after launch.

"editing binaries after compile" is "too spooky" but this is preferable. I find this amusing.

I'd much rather have some nasty little script fondling compiler output as the final stage of the build to achieve the same goal. toolchain agnostic!

Which is a good goal, and one I've found occasion to wish I had pursued on occasion. "wtf my changes aren't working its almost like ... its not actually updating the binary ARRGH"
I did some digging because I was curious.

From the 1860 census [1]:

Total Population: 31.4m

Total Population: 309m

Total Incarcerated Population: 7m [3]

Percentage of population incarcerated: 2.2%

OP is absolutely not correct, even if we are generous and assume every incarcerated person is forced into labor.

She's not an asshole (publicly, anyway) so I would imagine she doesn't have people (in the mainstream) waiting to pounce on her for fragility and hypocrisy. Well the latter wouldn't apply to her the way it did with Musk, anyway.

It's silly to pretend this is an issue people have strong opinions about in a vaccuum, divorced from how they feel about the subject. Which is another way of saying it's one of those things that doesn't deserve to be news, it just happens to involve a celebrity.

on the technical side, symbols and emojis can render inconsistently among terminals, leading to potentially confusing messaging. on the artistic side, personal tolerances towards whimsy and playfulness vary wildly and should only be used very sparingly and ONLY if you know what you're doing (if you have to ask, you probably don't)

I could have just fallen prey to exactly the flaw that you're describing, but if I look at Apple during the Sculley years and immediately prior to Jobs' coup vs afterwards, I think that the company changed direction and the subsequent progress was by no means pre-ordained in 1991-1997.

Likewise, Microsoft during the early Gates' years was not a lock to rise to the level it attained.

Or the Buffett Partnership and eventually Berkshire Hathaway under Buffett.

Maybe these are outliers (and by company size/outcome, they quite obviously are), but that seems to itself be a (perhaps circular) argument that leadership plays a significant role in directing the trajectory of the company.

> What's this nonsense where I have to enter my username, THEN wait for the page to load, THEN click "send verification email"

I can’t speak to all of them, but many sites that require (only) a username first have enterprise SSO integrations.

The enterprise buying the service (understandably) doesn’t want its employees to type in both username and password on a 3rd party site, especially since the SSO process will handle auth after the username is entered.

I know of one site with both username and password on the first page, and has enterprise SSO. Login will automatically fail if you enter anything in the password field when logging in with an SSO-enabled username. But that doesn’t stop copy-pasted credentials from being transmitted to their server, which is something enterprise customers want to avoid
As I've said before, one of my biggest concerns with LLMs is that they somehow manage to concentrate their errors in precisely the places we are least likely to notice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39178183

If this is dangerous with normal English, how much more so with legal text.

At least if a lawyer drafts the text, there is at least one human with some sort of intentionality and some idea of what they're trying to say when they draft the text. With LLMs there isn't.

(And as I say in the linked post, I don't think that is fundamental to AI. It is only fundamental to LLMs, which despite the frenzy, are not the sum totality of AI. I expect "LLMs can generate legal documents on their own!" to be one of those things the future looks back on our era and finds simply laughable.)

Five at random would be fairly trivial, do you mean giving the five adjacent or nearest countries? Then one would learn to tell them apart, or even if not, at least you'd learn to associate the area whenever hearing about that country on the news or so. That would be a nice improvement probably!
Agreed - which is why this is an area that needs more thought and development
I'm curious, what's the point of paying for Optery per year? Isn't removing your data be a one time request. Except for supporting new brokers that might appear.

Are you familiar with the recent Mercedes-Benz Source Code Exposure [1]? It's a good example of why you should consider a secrets manager for any serious project. Environment variables come with a lot of risks and are difficult to manage as teams grow. 1) ENV files are easy to accidentally push to a repo. 2) It's easy for environment variables to get out of sync among developers. 3) In the case of exposure, it's often difficult to rotate secrets quickly. A secrets manager removes this risk - but you do need to trust whatever service you decide to use, as well as make sure it's compatible with your infrastructure/cloud environment.

I don't think that website really wants to call attention to the fact that it's serving you ads. They want it to be a seamless part of the Internet experience. Ideally, you wouldn't even notice the ads are ads. They don't want to support services that remind you that they're there, and are annoying. And if you want to monetize your site, they already have a preferred solution for you: sign up to show ads and get a check from them.
What a shame.

From the article: "In the U.S., hybrid demand significantly exceeds production capacity, leading to tight inventories at dealerships, Miyazaki said."

I'll further my point about hybrid being such a low-hanging, realistic solution.

The core technology has been there since the late 90s. Every single major manufacture can quickly produce them. This doesn't have to be just daily family cars, the luxury market (Ferrari) and the 4x4 segment can also take advantage of this. There is already a hybrid Tundra available.

Lets take London for e.g. there are about 2.5 Million cars, lets assume if all of all them were to be hybrid, you would have SIGNIFICANT reduction in fuel consumption and costs to the owners, without ANY lifestyle change. You are not giving anything up as there is something available for everyone's taste.

No range anxiety.

I seriously do not understand why governments don't take this seriously.
Optery customers get Removals Reports every 90 days. PCMag.com wrote this about the Optery Removals Report: "With the Removals report, you see what was found along with a new screenshot demonstrating that the data was removed, and a link to verify the removal. No other personal data removal service I’ve seen gives you this level of verification."
"Science" that can't stand up to a few expressions of opinion is not deserving of the name. If your claims are supported by evidence, you shouldn't fear the speech of critics, no?
I think if you express an opinion like that you ought to say why too. It could be you have a point. But you could also be (mis)interpreted as a critic who, instead of building things themself, finds imperfections in things the real builders make...

> whatever helps them protect their monopoly

Ah yes, the story of bad people not wanting their livelihoods taken from them by good tech giants. Seriously, is there no room for empathy in all of this ? If you went through law school and likely got yourself in debt in the process then you're not protecting any monopoly but your means to exist. There are people like that out there you know.
Taylor haters have gone absolutely nuts lately but that idea may be the craziest I've ever heard
If it operated differently based on what it was outputting to, that kinda defeats the point of 'dry run', which is to see exactly what's going to happen based on what's on the other side of the pipe when I run it for real.

Forced labor in prison is not "slavery", as that term is generally understood. It may be bad, and that labor benefiting private companies may be worse, but that doesn't mean it's "slavery". Also, people duly convicted of crimes lose many of their civil rights. This is not new, and there's nothing wrong with it per se. (It happens in every country.) Seriously people, you're not being clever or radical. You're just being foolish and/or dishonest. People who are against forced prison labor are trying to convince other people that it's "slavery" because they want to get rid of it (or pare it back, or stop private companies from benefiting from it, or whatever). It is very much an Orwellian tactic.
Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything at all at any time.
In situations like this, I always wonder why you start with a threatening letter from the lawyers, and not just a phone call between the two parties, where one of them would say "hey look, I know you can do this, but it makes me scared for my safety—I think you can understand why—and I really hope you'd consider not doing it". Start from that, rather than just going straight to threats. You can always be a dick later, try being a human first.

That said, I'm actually on her side here. I don't like being tracked on the internet, and I do everything I can to avoid it. I can't imagine someone following me around, and me being persuaded by the argument that I'm in a public space, so I have no expectation of privacy. As far as I know, there isn't another option except to be in the public space if I want to get somewhere. And I think people who track other people because they can, and you can't stop me are in many ways worse than people whose motives are entirely venal. Just act like grown-up, civilized human beings.

It impresses me how many global warming skeptics are in this forum as opposed to, say, the scientific community.

on the other hand the rate of change isn't constant and there isn't a guarantee that the incredible progress in the past ~2 years in the LLM/diffusion/"AI" space will continue. As an example, take computer gaming graphics; compare the evolution between Wolfenstein 3D (1992) and Quake 3 Arena (1999), which is an absolute quantum leap. Now compare Resident Evil 7 (2017) and Alan Wake 2 (2023) and it's an improvement but nowhere near the same scale.
