In Europe, I’ve always had my parking, taxi, restaurant and hotel reimbursed by the airline in case of delays (such as: bad weather or strike -> we’ll board tomorrow morning -> full reimbursement of all implied expenses).

I thought this was IATA regulations. US travelers are really getting the hard stick herr.
I'm baffled at how shallow some trigger happy downvoters can be. This was a legit question; I live in a reinforced concrete house surrounded by H shaped girders all around and using a star type topology with all external sensors talking to a AP would require placing one of them on each side of the house, plus the three I already have on the inside, because doing otherwise WiFi communications would be next to impossible.

Your ideology will murder us all, each one at a time, until none of us are left.

There is an alternative, and that is that we will win, as we always do.

When a simple, predictable man like Putin, or Xi, make themselves emperor for life, they prove the fragility of their system. Their system cannot survive beyond them. It is the final call. Just as it was in Germany, France, Portugal, Spain... all of the imperial powers had to lose their final war. Soon, you will lose yours. Finally your people will become "Western," aka peaceful. All it takes is losing the final imperial ambition. I welcome you to the future.

My family has lived through these idiotic ambitions for many generations. This is why I am still here, speaking to you. We will live through it again, until we are all at peace.

Cheers.

> China blocks access to Google. Whatever you want to call what the TikTok bill does, it is not the same as what China does.

China does way more than that. China forces all companies that wish to do business in China to host their data in China in a way that ensures the CCP has complete access to it.

It boggles the mind how some anonymous accounts try to attack the US for interfering with a Chinese company doing business in the US, particularly one which is a notorious security hole, but leave out the fact that CCP's China goes well beyond as a matter of policy.

There are also government-imposed taxes such as the U.S. Transportation Security Administration instituted Passenger Fee, which is charged as soon as the ticket is bought:

I've used it primarily for 2 things: dataset manipulation & visualization code and simpler scripts to deploy specific website solutions.

I've had the exact same experience as you, it starts great but cannot handle edge cases and starts to bloat code which has exactly 0 effect on the output.

Same thing with other LLMs, so my understanding is we are far from the utopia.

I've simply had to just modify things at the end myself or talk to a very experienced developer friend of mine who also pointed out the code was clunky, so could be cleaner.

A few more years and we might actually have something that is scary, but doesn't seem like its today

When TikTok urged kids to phone Congress last month, apparently a number of them asked questions like "what's Congress?". I'm going to say yes, our schools have really deteriorated that much.
Can attest to that.

In the 1990s, ABS was not required for auto-manufacturers. I'm not driving slow to be a prick, but doing 85 in that boat with a soft suspension is terrifying. 95 is a death wish move.

General PSA to those who might need to hear it. That huge buffer I leave between me and the car in front of me, I need that. If I get hard on the brakes, my wheels will lock up and I will have less control until I release and then reapply. For cars built without ABS, that's how breaks work.

Some people drive cars even older than mine where they have to pump their brakes to stop.

If you see someone in a old car driving slow please just go around. Please.

This is a tech-savvy bunch in HN. I’d like to encourage my fellow hackernews users to counter this narrative that imo is being pushed by TikTok and the CCP, which is this one about data privacy. It’s a comfortable one for TikTok to attack since they can point to abuses by other tech giants. Every breath spoken or word written about personal data feeds into the CCP strategy. Instead we should be educating our peers, friends and families about the real danger from TikTok which is that it can spread propaganda. Not just influencing Americans to support pro-CCP positions. But there is a lot of negative press about the CCP that TikTok can hide or suppress. This isn’t hypothetical, it’s been happening already. I have faith young TikTok users can understand this. Congress understands this and they did the right thing (for Americans).
So everyone is exposed to broader variety of germs.
There's definitely more than one problem with defense procurement, one of the biggest problems is simply having straightforward, acheivable goals in the first place and not fucking with them halfway through the process.

And honestly at this point the Air Force is handling this much better than the other branches. Despite all the delays and cost overruns on the F-22 and F-35 projects, at least we ended up with really fantastic and capable platforms. The B-21 is also basically on time and budget, which is nice.

Compare that to the Navy's LCS program, a massively expensive clusterfuck with very few redeeming qualities.

The Army is somewhere in the middle.
The problem is not a technologic one, it's societal.

It doesn't matter if you give a piece of the key to the ACLU, one to the EFF or whatever other entities one might think as "impartial" or "without conflict of interest".

As long as there is a law that allows the governnent to send Men With Guns® to these entities, they can and will be coerced.

FISA is the prime example. You can have all the laws you want, but as long as "they" have things like NSLs which prevent you from even having a lawyer without clearance to defend yourself, you are royally fscked.

(This case is in Australia so they might not have FISA or similar, but the point is the same)
Your body is what you eat and how you use it.
Your mind is what you read, hear, and how you apply it.
You present a valid argument but I think comparing an EV being charged every morning to not always having a full fuel tank in an ICE, in the morning, is apples to oranges.
From that perspective the EV has an advantage but it’s not a direct comparison.
Small changes accumulate and lead to divergence.

Even if you could make the toddlers physically identical, you can't place them all in the same point in space and always see, hear, touch the same things.

Add randomness inherent in the current understanding of (quantum) physics and you'd need a strong convergence mechanism for your experiment to prove what you're saying.
Australia is the last country I would trust with the ability to view private communications between citizens, given they are trying hard to normalize censorship of online content. They recently ordered Twitter to take down video of a stabbing, and required Twitter to do so even outside of Australia. Musk and Twitter are fighting the order, and correctly refusing to censor speech outside of Australian jurisdiction. Meanwhile the stabbing victim himself doesn’t want the video censored:

Australia’s online safety czar’s perspectives on implementing worldwide censorship orders through a network of coordinating czars is dystopian:

> Semispace GC takes O(N) for a live set of size N

Is this a rebuttal? How? You have a million live objects, you just want to free 1 object, and this awesome GC accesses O(1 million) objects, and that's somehow comparable to refcounting's O(1)?

> You're also ignoring the work to actually free which is generally slightly super linear

That's like arguing that everyone who claims binary search is O(log n) is "ignoring" the fact that page-table traversals and/or bit-complexity "actually" make it O((log n)^2).

It's "ignored" because the performance of the underlying system is entirely beside the point being made about the comparison of 2 algorithms on top of it. You analyze an algorithm based on the number of calls to the APIs provided to it, which in this case would be mmap/munmap (or VirtualAlloc/VirtualFree, or whatever), and you assume each of those operations takes constant time, unless specified otherwise. It doesn't make sense to dig into the underlying system, especially when nobody has specified what the underlying system is to begin with.

On /r/lk99, one comment strikes ([1]):

>This is a cheap trick - the coil wrapping around the sample literally creates an electromagnet.

> The reason it's not unstable are because the two ends of the wire are holding the sample at each edge and coiled around the middle point of the sample, they are both tapering outwards like a V imagining that the point of the V is the sample.

> The two wires are acting as a single hinge, thus it is held in place when it repelled from the fat stack of magnets underneath.

> The reason it doesn't work with copper is that copper probably has less or similar resistance than the wire and thus short circuits the coil - electricity prefers the shortest path. The sample probably has high resistance (lol) thus the coil's current & resultant magnetic field is intact.

There is some weird inversion going on here.

First, I can't find a reason why anyone would laud banning this app. It seems like it's done A LOT for the creator economy, more than Snapchat or Instagram did for anyone before TikTok took off.

Second, I'm surprised at the amount of China-hate I'm seeing in here, and elsewhere, over this app. So far, they don't appear to have actually committed any crimes, it's a lot of posturing about what they could do. Meanwhile, things that were actually a threat (the "weather balloons" over DoD installations) were hand-waved away by TPTB and allowed to traverse pretty much the whole country before any action was taken.

Huh??

Thanks for the Close() example, that's a nice solution, although would it work if you wanted to handle an error (not just log it?)

> Standard go error handling maximises for locality. You don't see many "long range" effects where you have to go and read the rest of the code to understand what's going to happen. Ideally everything you need is in the diff in front of you.

I'm assuming you're comparing to exceptions.

I don't know about that. I think this relies on discipline of the software engineer. I can see for example someone who is strict and only uses exceptions on failures and returns normal responses during usual operation.

With Go you can use errors.Is and errors.As which take away that locality. Or what's worse, you could have someone actually react based on the string of the error message (although with some packages, this might be the only way).

I still see your point though, but I also think Rust implemented what Go was trying to do.

You get a Result type, which you can either match to get the data and check the error, you can also pass it downward (yes, this will take away that locality, but then compiler will warn you if you have a new unhanded error downstream), or you can chose to unwrap without checking error, which will trigger panic on error.
What is there to believe?

Capitalism is not a religion, there is no belief involved.

There's another problem, that's hitting Europe right now: approximately no one can actually afford to move to "a proper metro area", at least not when it comes to larger cities. Even on a dev salary, when you move to a place you can afford that offers basic comforts to family (i.e. not renting out single rooms shared with others), your commute is now back to ~1h each way. But at least you and your partner are traveling in the same direction, so there's that.

It's much easier for people who already own a place in the city.

I have always thought the best solution is strong encryption, plus weak encryption.

Every user has their data encrypted with a unique, zero-knowledge, weak key. Then it's encrypted again by the service provider with a strong key.

When the government shows up with a warrant, they get the strong key. But the weak key is known only to the user, not the service provider. So now the government has to go spend CPU time to brute force the weak key.

Economics enforces good behavior. Governments with lots of resources can afford to break into any single user's data. But they can't afford to break into EVERYONE'S data and go fishing. It's the same as hiring detective to do a stakeout... you can follow anyone but you can't follow everyone.
> My point is that the API consumer does not guarantee types (say it's REST or something), so the assumption that the string you send it will always be the right type (or call it "format") seems like a bad one.

The raw data from the API will not have any of your internal types applied to it yet, it'll be raw bytes or typed `string`. So I don't really see the connection between this and "I will still always be able to do `as OrgId` or `as UserId` so you need to do have some failure handling". Only your own trusted code can do "as OrgId", so... don't do that unless you have an OrgId. And once your own trusted code has made an OrgId, you don't need any runtime checking to see if it actually is an OrgId.

> A lot of times branding is used to mark data received from a database, e.g.: this field is an `OrgId`, but I can do all kinds of things to that string which might make it not-an-`OrgId` at any point.

What kind of things? Strings aren't mutable so you must be making a new string. But a new string will have a type like `string`, not `OrgId`, and then using it as an OrgId won't compile.
I've definitely seen evidence of this from a few big name tech employers. Revolving job postings that are regularly re-posted with the exact same details, and it appears that they never actually filled any positions. It's possible that they are hiring a lot of the same job description but these are sort of specialized roles with highly specific job requirements. I have a hard time believing that they are constantly hiring people for a very specific job description and continue to have openings for the same. Seems especially unlikely after they recently had big layoffs.

More likely ghost jobs. I think that they aren't planning to fill unless a highly qualified candidate comes along that happens to be desperate and willing to accept a low offer. When that happens, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they hire them to replace someone who is earning significantly more. Potential for big cost savings at the expense of intangible accumulated institutional knowledge and team cohesion/morale.
This kinda already happened for Telcos, LE got convenient backdoors and portals they can access.

Surveillance capabilities are IMHO, absolutely a slipperly slope.

If you build this multi-key thing and there is capability for direct access without going through company legal and staff for each request, the next thing that happens is they write policy or legislation so access requires 2 keys, theirs and a judge or oversight officer - who rubber stamps every request.

You can't really trust them, because they can change the rules.

To be fair, Apple has a long tradition of naming frameworks Core Something, e.g. Core Foundation, Core Graphics etc.

McKinsey reportedly under US criminal investigation over opioid industry work
It's a matter of getters and setters being defined for well-known attributes on the DOM element indeed. This is why it doesn't work of 'x', the 'x' HTML attribute doesn't have a getter and a setter defined on the 'x' property of the DOM element (You can try defining custom getters and setters with defineProperty that call getAttribute and setAttribute if you want to experiment - I haven't experimented but I expect this to work and I think that's how predefined properties work).

For 'value', MDN says:

> it can be altered or retrieved at any time using JavaScript to access the respective HTMLInputElement object's value property

While it doesn't say it is implemented using a setter and a getter (I suspect because it doesn't need to go into such details that are confusing if you don't know this mechanism), I think this is what it implies. I believe this can be found in the spec of the Javascript implementation of DOM.

So it is as "easy" as it looks (note my phrasing totally allows you to find it looks difficult): for well-known HTML attributes, there are usually getters and setters for the corresponding DOM property. Usually, it's the same string, sometimes there's a conversion, for instance with booleans (for the open and the hidden attributes).
