> What does signing give you that TLS doesn't?

A huge number of replicated servers have to have access to TLS keys, and a huge number of people have to be involved in the administration of those servers. And, to rely on TLS, you have to assure the integrity of the data within the whole store infrastructure, not just at the point that a file gets injected into it. The practical exposure is vastly worse than with end to end signing.
This is actually an interesting suggestion. Sometimes, things get so confusing that I wish I could remember how I ended up in that situation! :D

The main issue is that "CSV" isn't one format with a single schema. It's one format with thousands of schemas and no way to communicate them. Every program picks its own schema for CSVs it produces, some even change the schema depending on various factors (e.g. the presence or absence of a header row).

RFC 4180 provides a (mostly) unambiguous format for writing CSVs, but because it discards the (implied) schema it's useless for reading CSVs that come from other programs. RFC 4180 fields have only one type: text string in US-ASCII encoding. There are no dates, no decimal separators, no letters outside the US-ASCII alphabet, you get nothing! It leaves the option for the MIME type to specify a different text encoding, but that's not part of the resulting file so it's only useful when downloading from the internet.
> The conviction the US seeks under the Espionage Act is as good as automatic

I find this assessment to be unsupported.

Name a single journalist successfully prosecuted under the Espionage Act. If you have to go back to the 1920s to find an example, then I think I've made my point. Ellsberg was the only journalist in modern times to even be charged under it, and his charges were dismissed.
Yup, you vendor the dependency. I've been doing this for 20 years with basically any dependency that's close to "done" and has slowed down development and maintenance.

Having said that, I've not worked in languages where "batteries are not included"

In recent years, there has been substantial advancement in vocoders for DL audio applications. WaveGAN and MelGAN have emerged as promising solutions, harnessing the power of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to produce high-fidelity audio. Furthermore, parallel-waveGAN and HiFi-GAN have showcased improved efficiency with quicker inference times while maintaining exceptional audio quality.

Which is why there's a tunnel -- when Virginia looked at replacing the ferry that ran between the Eastern Shore and Norfolk/Virginia Beach, the US Navy objected to a bridge over fears it could collapse. (An accident, sabotage, etc.) That's also why I64 has a bridge-tunnel design, as well.

You only have to disrupt them enough to make them useless to kids. There needs to be a critical mass of users for the social media tool to work. If some kids get through, fine. Liquor stores sell kids with fake IDs alcohol sometimes. But most kids won't be able to get access making the site more or less useless to those that can. Any large enough mass (someone at a school distributes to lots of people at the school) will likely be detected and destroyed.
Guantanamo bay and the black sites are a disgraceful legacy of US foreign policy but aren’t germane to this discussion.

Hey, Tom Preston-Werner, co-creator of RedwoodJS here. We've been working hard on React Server Components support in RedwoodJS and really happy to finally have a bare-bones working implementation ready!

Redwood is a framework for quickly creating React-based web applications that provide an amazing end user experience. Our goal is to be simple and approachable enough for use in prototypes and hackathons, but performant and comprehensive enough to evolve into your next startup.

Until now we've focused on SPAs with GraphQL for data fetching. But this new era of RSCs allows us to offer a streamlined data fetching model that helps you iterate much faster. We still offer first class GraphQL API tooling for when you need it, but it's an optional add-on.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

> Users "throw away [their phone] and buy a different device" basically every 2 years

If the DOJ's accusations of lock-in are true, then it's kinda a moot point. Perhaps even more criminal on Apple's behalf.

> its impact on the web is at worst a wash, and at best good for maintaining diversity among web engines.

It is not. Apple deliberately ignored PWA functionality for a decade until regulators threatened them enough to add it. They have dragged their feet supporting actual third-party browser options[0] and undeniably harm user freedom in the browser market.

"at best", Apple is using an illegal double-standard to prevent Google Chrome from competing with their underpowered browser. It is a pathetic plea to avoid competition, which is inexcusable no matter how powerful Google is. Realizing user harms to prevent a theoretical problem is not an excusable pattern of behavior - the DOJ and EU are absolutely correct in their judgement. They'll likely be right when they implicate Google too - but that's a different discussion, and entirely different harmful business strategy.

If users can be lost in meaningful numbers to such comparatively tiny frictions, it seems like the market will never sufficiently be a level playing field.
Characters in Unicode can have more than one script property, so the question "is this text entirely Bengali/Devanagari" can be answered even though they share characters. But Unicode encodes scripts, not languages, and not shapes.

Many things we might want to do with strings require a locale property, which Unicode tried allowing as an inline representation, this was later deprecated. I'm not convinced that was the correct decision, but it is what it is. If you want to properly handle Turkish casing or Swedish collation, you have to know that the text you're working with is Turkish or Swedish, no way around it.
> I prefer not to consider other people as ignorant or stupid. They just have different motivations or reasons.

Oh, I didn't want to imply people are stupid, after all, I (and many other people) made the same error 25 years ago.

But talking about Cargo (the last time I used Java there had been no Maven yet), the packages really need at least some sort of namespaces. But I don't think that (newer) languages without a really "battery" standard library can evade the problems of "too many transitive dependencies".
And without wanting to insult your intelligence, none of the features you listed were something I really wanted or needed from SMS. Its just that, a short message service. Relying on encryption in a world where each and every country does an attack on E2EE every two years is unrealistic. Read notifications are just a "let me spy into your day" feature that I, no-control-freak, never ever needed. The rest also just reads like a corporate feature list, many nice to haves, but nothing, for me at least, essential.

I am fine with using SMS, and it has always served me well.
It is weird to say both that "CSV files have terrible compression" and then that the proposed format, Apache Parquet, has "Really good compression properties, competitive with .csv.gz". I think what's meant here is that csv compresses really well but you loose the ability to "seek" inside the file.
I'm no expert on tax software, but my experience deploying it for accountants is that on-prem tax software is usually updated monthly to incorporate new rules.

Tax rules are very complicated and often can't just be expressed as an entry in a database. In that context, downloading a fresh set of rules at startup is effectively the same as auto-updating.
Report from CBS News mentions the bridge handled "11.5 million" vehicles a day.

To be fair I am truly surprised at the comment thread here and people being surprised that it collapsed and the lack of understanding of magnitude of forces. I always think of HN as a fairly educated group with a large portion of engineers (skewed heavily towards software which doesn't always have a background in the physical environment).

I don't intend to sound pretentious or condescending. Maybe its more that I need to reconcile with my own expectations of the community level of knowledge/domain of expertise.

I rather have a high bar of expectations than a low bar though to be honest.
Worth pointing out that all third party deps at Google have to be vendored. By policy. And generally only one version of said dep is permitted for the entire massive monorepo. (This may have changed since I was there.) And each third_party dep has a set of designated responsible individuals / OWNERS.

This has the effect of keeping things relatively sane.

But this enforced discipline can work well at an org like Google that has plenty of time and $$ and isn't dedicated to a "move fast and break things" philosophy. Not sure how well it would work for a startup.
The funny thing is Facebook already has restrictions on serving ads to and collecting data from kids under 13. They have a popup that asks, "Are you over 13?" at which point my then 11 year old daughter clicked yes.

This is feel-good legislation and is not realistically enforceable. People can argue about it all they want, it won't change anything because it's not enforceable.

>It requires them to use a third-party verification system to screen out those who are underage.

We'll see how well that works.
Right, Florida teenagers are totally not going to use social media after this law. It's like everyone commenting on this thread was born yesterday.

This is a form of government control on your devices and eyeballs, nothing else. And considering it is effectively impossible to enforce, the state is soon going to start suing all the tech companies they don't like and push further restrictions/censorship.
> any source based package manager that doesn't enforce a legal right for the registry to forcefully take over maintainance of published packages from their creators ...

This seems to be a non-issue. The beauty of open source is that you can fork it. The actual issue is that it requires time and effort to maintain an open source project and it's not easy to find someone else who has some time to spare.
You can avoid getting your kids out of that situation by not having any; it seems like an increasingly popular option. DINK or SINK makes it much easier to stay out of poverty.
This is deeply saddening news. I own Affinity Photo and Designer and I'm sure in a few years people won't be able to say that. For most of my usage, mind you, Krita and Inkscape have been able to meet my needs, so more than likely this will just solidify my preference for the open source options out there.
For what it's worth you can implement a C compiler in under 10kLOC. Chibicc is only a few thousand lines [1]. There is also Cake [2] and tinycc [3] which are both relatively small.

I'm not allowed to question a statement that loss of biodiversity could cause civilization to collapse in the next few decades? Really?

This is an objective statement about facts out in the world, and as such it is completely acceptable to ask how this position was reached. I questioned it because it looked like bullshit to me. You don't think bullshit should be called out?
It was already de-facto illegal for people under 13 to have social accounts. Do you know any kids younger than that on social media? I do.

This is the equivalent of paper bags for beer cans - it will do nothing to fix the problem, but it will make children slightly more secretive about their internet usage, which will make some situations (grooming, bullying) even worse.
Why don't they just fine the shit out of that rocket boat company every time they pull that outrageous prank? Or throw someone in jail. Who thinks that is in any an ok prank? Can you imagine someone doing that in a car? Its just a prank bro!
When I was in an internship, I needed a new library for some feature in one of the sites. The _first_ thing their PM objected on was bundle size. Only after confirming that adding my feature would bundle size remain sensible could I continue.

They are very sensitive over this kind of bloat over there, and it is definitely a key metric. You will even get a warning in your email if one of your builds increases bundle size too much!
Let's just ignore the fact this doesn't exist for the sake of going through the mental exercise. Whether identity services are allowed to discard the logs is a legal question. The time in which a user makes a verification request for a website is de-anonymizing in of itself. The government could access both services either in real-time (remember this has already happened here) or depending on how things are stored at a later date to link identities to accounts. So the government has ways get all the information it needs to de-anonymize people who use social media in Florida if enforced.
"There's a better way" - "just" write your application in Java or Python, import Thrift, zstandard and boost, do some compiling - and presto, you can now export a very complicated file format you didn't really need which you hope your users (who all undoubtedly have Java and Python and Thrift and whatnot) will be able to read.

CSV does not deserve the hate.

Vanishingly few of those people have any idea what a satellite is, let alone that they may be visible in the night sky. The vast majority of the global population leans on religion or superstition to explain natural phenomenon. If you know what a star even is, you're in the minority. You might as well flip a coin, because very few people on the planet would even understand the question.

I think you're right that the vote would be no, but not for the same reason you do.

I think many people reading:

> Would you like to have 10,000 satellites launched

... would stop right there and say "I have no idea what that is, so no"

You can also put it as a minimization problem to minimize ||g(u)||, but I assume that does not magically make anything more efficient.
Because they're not liable for any of the outcomes, either individually or in aggregate. I don't believe the govt is generally liable for these damages as long as there was a genuine purpose to it.

I'm starting to think that the modern, loose usage of SWAT is cruel and unusual punishment without a proper conviction. The punishment for actually stealing the air pods is likely less than the trauma of being SWATed and the fines are likely less than it cost to replace windows/doors/whatever.
A problem does not only become a problem the moment you start looking. Is it not for the best if the people of a country are aware of how the people in power use their power? The problem is not that a person decided to leak said emails, it is the fact that these emails were sent in the first place. The US democracy was not weakened through this, this weakness was only made more apparent.

AIUI, this is not how you use vendored dependencies in cargo. You're supposed to edit the .cargo/config.toml for your current project with the output 'cargo vendor' provides.
I like this. We'll get another generation of anti-authoritarian hackers. These kids will learn to circumvent the laws, and the process will improve both their skills and their philosophy.
Agreed. Discriminative AI, in general, is further through the hype cycle than generative AI, and this is a clear value proposition with clear financials.

And, really, they're two sides of the same coin. I could imagine the tulip robot using leveraging speech-to-control LLMs in the future. Something like: "Move to field 17 and focus on the Pink Diamonds"
I mean, my assumption (yeah, I know) is that the 'display' variant is more for documentation talking _about_ the control character and not meant to _be_ the control character. Abusing the 'display' variant this way seems... misguided.
Is this the PSX[0] you're referring to? I had no idea this existed, or what impact it had on gaming consoles.

It's not clear that the vendors will respect that when the going gets tough, or that they don't have "no just force the update" channels. I think Apple has done that, for instance.
There’s always something lost in translation, no matter how good the translator is, and the less the languages are related the more is lost. AI translation won’t change the motivation for language learning that much. It’s more the translator profession that will suffer (and already suffers).
Thank you for this supportive post. You're describing a real dynamic but there's a reason I replied to the person's post. If we're just talking debate styles then you're completely right. But this is more than that - this is real "life and death" in a way because how a person thinks about their situation (eg: being stuck in poverty vs looking for long-term ways out) has a huge impact on their outcomes.

For some reason, for some people, it's very important to insist that "no, you can't change your own stickiness" - if you are poor, you are poor. If you are fat, you are fat. If women hate you, they will hate you. This reveals something about their own approach in life but worse, I worry that it can influence someone who's on the fence ("should I try to lose weight, should I try to better my economics, etc?") and being barraged with messages of impossibility is poisonous to them.

How many is "lots of" because it's real hard to find concrete cases of this outside of the handful of high profile ones that reddit MRAs like to parade around whenever they get a chance to bring it up.

But regardless, this is consistent and a well-understood compromise not an accidental injustice. The priority is stability in the child's life above absolute fairness for the adults. If you occupied the role of parent to a child, you may have to pay child support regardless of biological connection.

We've settled on this approach over the alternative because when unfairness occurs, it is for the adults to experience not the child.
Yeah I agree in principle. There's lots of people who defend it but I think it is a mistake for the Rust stdlib to be missing a lot of quite basic common stuff (random numbers, sha256, md5 are obvious ones to me for example.) They could even break said lib up (stdlib, stdlib-ext, stdlib-embedded) if necessary. But status quo is just inviting future disaster in my opinion.

And don't get me started on the async story. Yikes. Rust is the language that Tokio ate.
Fossil fuel consumption in the US is down way down especially on a per person basis because of improved efficiency and cheaper alternatives. There's more Americans today, but in many ways we are consuming fewer resources while still being better off.

Compare a modern jet with one from the 1974 and sure many passengers have less leg room but it's hauling both people and 3rd party cargo while still using far less than 1/2 the fuel per passenger mile. Such improvements really add up and include things like engineered lumber using fast growth pines.

Look at the most popular car 50 years ago and you'll see the Ford Pinto. It's slow, unsafe, tiny, time consuming to maintain, fuel inefficient, and missing modern amenities but it was affordable. Inflation adjusted it's roughly the cost of a Mitsubishi Mirage which while better in just about every way is a rough equivalent the reason people are buying crossovers rather than the Mirage today is because people just have more wealth in real terms.
JSON? RON? Protobuf? Cap'n'Proto? Anything with more types than "string" which is all CSV has, and with an unambiguous data encoding. Preferably also a way to transmit the schema, since all of these formats (including CSV) have a schema but don't necessarily include it in the output.

About half the problems with CSV are due to encoding ambiguities, the other half are due to schema mismatches.
I don't think the main problem with social media is the occasional inappropriate content.

The main problem is that most of the "appropriate" content is soul-sucking, biased, addictive and empty of substance.
