Let's be realistic. Porn, the subject of this discussion, is not illegal in the US; this is about age verification laws that apply to the website operators, who then self-block users from particular states. No one is going after Cloudflare for this information as there is no crime committed by the user.

Given Cloudflare's logging policy (https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/privacy/public-dns...) and data disclosure practices, the only way US authorities would get anything worthwhile is if they had a specific individual target and a valid legal process. Cloudflare, like most of the big tech companies, is actually very good on this front; they have robust processes and are transparent (https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/slt3lc6tev37/Q1INAiyBub...) about the limited cases in which they do hand over any user data.

(I don't work at Cloudflare, but do work on these issues for another big US tech company.)

In the long run, yes, but Lemonade and other insurtechs have struggled to actually get that right. Their loss ratio (claims paid / premium collected) has historically been close to or above 100% (i.e. losing money), though I think Lemonade has finally been getting that under control recently.

Distribution is also a huge factor in who wins. You can have the best product, but if you can't get it out to enough people, whether direct to consumer or through agents, you're going to struggle. A lot of startups have focused on direct-to-consumer plays, but there's value in taking a hybrid approach to distribution and incorporating agents into your distribution strategy. It's surprising sometimes, for those of us with a tech background, to see how sticky human insurance agents have proven to be.

Zoning is the limiter, but a lot of zoning is due to infrastructure or geologic issues. You can build a trailer on land with septic, but you aren’t going to build an apartment building there.

Not sure if you're arguing against language classes in kindergarten or languages classes in school in general, but I personally had a really good experience with French classes for several years in junior high and high school and one year of Spanish in high school (both schools were public school, too). I don't remember as well as I did back then, of course, but I've by no means "forgotten everything", even though I've been out of high school for over 25 years.

Of all the things I learned up to the end of high school, the foreign languages and all the math are the things I value the most. I still remember French well enough that I could ask for help with various things if I needed to, and I can read it even better than that (well enough to get the gist and some of the detail of something I read, as long as it isn't really heavy with slang). I only had one year of Spanish, but that at least allows me to understand a lot of basic signage in the language and some other reading comprehension. I can watch shows and movies in French and understand some of the lines without the subtitles, and even understand how and in some cases why the subtitles don't match the literal translation.

So if your point was against language education in school in general, I very strongly disagree. I use my foreign language knowledge somewhat regularly, even though I live in the US and have never had a job that required or even used it. There were plenty of kids in my classes who picked it up faster and spoke and read/wrote it far better than me, so I don't think I'm particularly good with foreign languages. This leads me to suspect that you might just not be a languages kind of person, and that's why it's meant so little to you?
Warning, this person may have a conflict of interest rendering his neutrality in this matter open to question.

OR Ansible.
For cities with the most extreme prices, demand is driven in part by larger increases in office space than housing. ‘Unaffordable’ cities for people can be very attractive for businesses due to the local workforce, and for cities office space doesn’t have downsides like the need for schools and similar infrastructure.

That’s how you get extreme prices independent from national population trends. There’s other effects in play, increases in earnings and low interest rates allow for increased prices, but that doesn’t explain why housing specifically would be expensive.
Well, it's been operating for a while now without any major outages, no issues with torrents, exposes way more "techie" features than any other VPN I've used (customizable port forwarding, dynamic dns and customizable subdomain names on those ports, different device profiles, customizable dns filtering lists, all sorts of stat graphs for their various nodes, script generators for openvpn which allow choosing all sorts of protocol related details) works fine for bypassing region locks on the obscure music sites I care about and they've been completely fine with an anonymous Monero payment (well, as anonymous as you can be to what is effectively your ISP).

They have a good record of responding to various restrictive legislation around the world (eg pulling out of Italy after they passed an overly broad 'anti-piracy' law) and also haven't had any open scandals. That's about as good as I can really expect considering that I'm mostly just not interested in my local ISP knowing what I'm up to, and am not doing anything hugely illegal or pirating at a large scale.

For reference, the VPN I used before then offered no real controls besides a limited country selection and a randomly assigned port forward. It was bought up by a company owned by a guy known for running scams, after which I switched out. Now having seen all the customization I was missing out on, I can't really go back to a simpler VPN.

<tab> <tab> no thank you. It's not the 1970s anymore. Makefiles were a pragmatic approach to C and C++ compilation, not an elegant design choice on its own, at least not by 2024 standards.

This is similar to Canada. All the talk is about 'build more homes' and none of it is about maybe not bringing in a million new immigrants in 9 months [0], which is an immigration rate of 3.3% of the population per year.

The weird thing about this one is how it seems super professional in some ways, and rather amateur in others. Professional in the sense of spending a long time building up an identity that seemed trustworthy enough to be made maintainer of an important package, of probably involving multiple people in social manipulation attacks, of not leaking the true identity and source of the attack, and the sophistication and obfuscation techniques used. Yet also a bit amateur-ish in the bugs and performance regressions that slipped out into production versions.

I'm not saying it's amateur-ish to have bugs. I'm saying, if this was developed by a highly competent state-sponsored organization, you'd think they would have developed the actual exploit and tested it heavily behind closed doors, fixing all of the bugs and ensuring there were no suspicion-creating performance regressions before any of it was submitted into a public project. If there was no performance regression, much higher chance this never would have been discovered at all.

I haven't heard that one. And, to be honest, it doesn't really make much sense to me, because the modern Russian constitution is a pretty nice document overall, guaranteeing all the good stuff etc. It's just that it's never really been followed.

This isn't new, either - e.g. the 1936 Constitution of the USSR (adopted under Stalin) was considered a very liberal document for its time. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly were all guaranteed, there was strict separation of powers, universal franchise with secret voting, and so on. Ironically, most of the people who authored it would end up in gulags or with a bullet in their head within a few years of its publication.

I did quite a lot of scientific computation using Apache Spark (thus, jvm) for a while, and the lack of more specific numeric types, like machine hardware supported types, in the JVM was a veritable pain in the ass to work around.

I don't know if that is a handicap to the idea you mention, but it may be...perhaps dropping into C for hardware performance and then back up to the JVM is just too annoying since things representable in hardware had no non-super-tedious representation back in the JVM (Scala or Java in my case).

It seems like a much more suitable parallel construction story to invent in this instance would be something like "there were valgrind issues reported, but I couldn't reproduce them, so I sanity checked the tarball was the same as the git source. It wasn't."
Weirdly, it's possible that this version could be more stable/reliable/safe than the Linux version, since it's apparently a wholly independent reimplementation. I suppose it depends on whether BTRFS's problems stem from the underlying data format or the actual code as written for the Linux driver.

Sure do wish that people would just stop blindly reprinting a company's claims of AI use, without asking what exactly they mean.

Arrests for illegal border crossings is at a record number, but that is a very different thing from the number of illegal immigrants in the USA. See https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-crossings-mexi...

You can get more arrests simply by catching more people crossing the border with more border officers or better technology. Also, coyotes are using swarming techniques now, which means they expect a certain number of migrants are going to get caught, but the border patrol will be overwhelmed and miss the rest (pay extra to be in “group B”).
This seems reasonable to me - insider trading is not “buying or selling your own shares” it’s buy or selling based on information that is not publicly available that will materially impact share prices.

As the article states the issue is there’s no formal legal definition of insider trading but also there’s stuff like “I’m working on a new product that I think will be great so I bought stock” vs “I’ve heard this new product will be delayed so sold it”, and I still don’t fully understand an unambiguous definition or what point it becomes criminal.

That said this case seems cut and dry, their employment contract explicitly prohibited them from trading in stock of any company if they had non public information that could impact price, and they made the trades 7 minutes after learning the information[1]. It’s hard to see how they could plausibly argue they did not at minimum breach their employment contract, if nothing else.

[1] “ The SEC said two facts about Panuwat’s 2016 trading showed it was illegal. First, his employer had a policy that forbade trading other companies’ shares when employees had material nonpublic information about Medivation.
Second, Panuwat traded on his work computer just seven minutes after he allegedly learned that Pfizer was ready to buy his company.”

They build skyscrapers in Tokyo, and in San Francisco for that matter - on mud and bay-infill no less. Zoning has very little to do with anything resembling an engineering limitation.

When Go first shipped, it was already well-documented that the only stable ABI on some platforms was via dynamic libraries (such as libc) provided by said platforms. Go knowingly and deliberately ignored this on the assumption that they can get away with it. And then this happened:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16606

If that's not "getting burned", I don't know what is. "Trying to provide a nice feature" is an excuse, and it can be argued that it is a valid and justifiable one, but nevertheless they knew that they were using an unstable ABI that could be pulled out from under them at any moment, and decided that it's worth the risk. I don't see what that has to do with "not being as broadly compatible as they had hoped", since it was all known well in advance.
