It's not up to governments to agree.

Right now, there are encrypted communication solutions that exist. None of them have been built by a government. We can build Chaum's network and start to use it. If we do that, government will have to either accept this network as a legal usage, or admit that they don't care about kids and crimes but just want to spy.

And sure, some government will admit that, but it's not by chance that right now the bad legislation are justified by "for the children" instead of "because we want to spy on you": admitting that will make these legislation obviously harmful, and they will be stopped even more easily.

There are some reasons why a network like the one proposed by Chaum is not used. One is that it's not easy to put in place, similarly to how difficult it was to build ethical journalism network for example. A second one is that some people don't want such network, either because they want to do illegal things or they want to spy on citizen. But another reason is the childish mentality of being instantaneously against any ideas that does not fit into the "100% anonymity" of the Silicon Valley techno-libertarian (not saying that anyone who is against is like that, but some who are against are indeed like that).
Humans evolved to constantly identify threats and ward them off.

A side-effect of this is that as real threats dwindle and disappear, brains will naturally fill the gap with progressively more paranoid and unfounded fears.

I remember, in ancient history, that my very average public school system had a zero-electronics policy (with the exception of the mandatory TI-xx calculator, medical devices, and watches). Any other electronics, like computers, or musical equipment, were provided for the students by the school for specific classes or lessons.

School security guards would wander the halls and catch kids listening to walkmen, or playing with some other gizmo, and seize them -- recoverable only at the end of the year by the student's parents.

Cell phones technically existed at the time, but were too expensive and bulky for students to be carrying around. If people had them at all they were usually mounted permanently in a car.

While it was pretty draconian, I get why the rule was in place, though I can also see why it would also be relaxed somewhat given the massive increase in the prevalence of personal electronics since the stone age I grew up in.

But I don't understand why it's turned into such complete wild west. Even during my time, if you kept it in your bookbag, you were fine. That students are wandering the halls, or sitting in class, on their phones, is mindboggling.

"But what about emergencies!", that was trivially handled by all parents having an emergency number, where they could call the school and summon the student in just a couple of minutes over the public address system.

I really fear for future generations.
Show HN: Siege - Real time data pipeline with a single command
Hi HN, we are so excited to be sharing this on here!

Siege is the fastest and the simplest way to spin up a real-time data pipeline, which you can then query, filter, visualize with just clicks of some buttons, no need for any instrumentation or code changes.

It works by capturing JSON data from your API transactions, transforming this data, and then storing it in an optimized columnar database for easy and fast querying.

I've put together a 3-minute demo on Loom just now, showing you how I made real time dashboards in minutes: https://www.loom.com/share/04bcdae67b4d49b5bc145ae2fe9bd17a?...

We use this approach. 14 years in and have a mortgage as a shared expense (auto withdrawal from our personal accounts covers this). This has worked just fine for us.

Bigger purchases (car, new heating system) we discuss individually based on our savings and income at the time.
It doesn't solve the larger issue, but really the FDA, the schools... none of them can manage these kids outside of school. It has to be the parents.

If the FDA or schools try to somehow fix student choices outside of school, they will fail every time.
While not in the US, I think this can work everywhere.

We have one account, where salaries are deposited. This also doubles as a savings account, and the account from which all none-debit card payments are made. There is no debit cards associated with this account.

Then we have a personal account each. These get a fixed amount transferred to them each month, if that isn't enough we'll manually transfer whatever is needed from the joint account. We have a debit card each for our personal account, but not each others. This is mainly so we can get each other gifts without revealing what it might be. It also seems a little abusive to be able to keep taps on your partners spending.

We might need an actual savings plan in the future, but probably won't be needed until the house is renovated.

Once we moved in together everything financial became "ours". There is no point where one of us can be in financial troubles alone. It helps that we've always had more or less the same view on how finances should be managed.

In Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—the ontological status of animals and other life forms generally places them as part of God's creation, but humans are typically seen as having a unique, superior status. Here's a brief overview of each religion's perspective:

### Judaism
In Judaism, the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) describes God creating animals and humans, with humans given dominion over animals. This is based on the Genesis narrative:
- *Genesis 1:26-28*: God gives humans dominion over all living creatures.
- *Genesis 2:19-20*: Adam names the animals, indicating a role of stewardship and authority.

While animals are respected and their welfare is considered (e.g., the commandment to not cause unnecessary suffering, tsa'ar ba'alei chayim), humans are seen as having a special role and responsibility.

### Christianity
Christianity inherits much of its view on animals from Judaism, with additional interpretations from the New Testament:
- *Genesis 1:26-28*: Same as in Judaism, humans are given dominion over animals.
- *New Testament*: Jesus emphasizes the value of every creature (e.g., Matthew 10:29-31 where sparrows are valued by God), but humans are considered more valuable.

Christian thought often emphasizes stewardship and care for God's creation, including animals, but maintains the superiority of humans.

### Islam
In Islam, animals are also seen as part of God's creation with humans given a special status and responsibility:
- *Qur'an 6:38*: Animals are considered communities like humans and are part of God's creation.
- *Qur'an 16:5-8*: Animals are created for human benefit, but humans must treat them with kindness and care.

Humans are considered superior and responsible for stewardship of the Earth and its creatures, but there is an emphasis on compassion and justice towards animals.

### Comparative Perspective
- *Equality and Superiority*: In all three religions, humans are generally considered superior to animals due to their unique role and responsibilities assigned by God. Animals are valued and their welfare is important, but they do not have the same status as humans.
- *Stewardship*: There is a common theme of stewardship and responsible dominion, where humans are expected to care for and protect animals and the environment.
- *Respect for Life*: Despite the hierarchical view, all three religions emphasize respect for life and the importance of treating animals humanely.

Overall, animals and other life forms are respected and valued in Abrahamic religions, but humans are considered to have a unique, superior status with specific duties towards other creatures.
>The requirements are unclear, or a client changes what they want during development. A client changes what they want after development.

Agile supports some uncertainty, but often a mile is taken when an inch is given.

You have to take it in stride though. Developers stay employed for shipping bad or happy-path-only code all the time.

>Is friction important to individuals? Do I benefit from thinking about friction on a project, even if nobody else on my team does?

Even if you were to eliminate a lot of friction, the profit would go to the business anyway.

The military has different incentives, of course.

Besides pengines and web development I have very little experience with SWI specifically.

And, well, yeah, it's common (e.g. look for cuts in https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/blob/master/src/lib/c... ), but I don't think I've ever written a cut and I use Prolog rather effectively as a tool for problem solving. It's an interesting and quite powerful way to model and examine problems even if I don't produce programs with 'imperative' interfaces. Some scripting tasks are also quite easy in Prolog, e.g. certain log parsing, stuff like that.

Internal monologue (or dialogue, as it can play out as imagined conversations) is an apt name for it. Imagine reading a play. Everything is expressed as language, and ideas and concepts are expressed through that language.
> Half of fragments are toward a lower orbit. The other half only boost apogee and either lower perigee or leave it unchanged.

I think this is something that's not intuitive to othe average person. Basically: a collision can change an object that's in a circular orbit into an elliptical orbit with a higher apogee. But it can't circularize the new orbit higher without a 2nd "burn"[1].

Which means that if a satellite that would passively deorbit in a short amount of time is in a collision, it is necessarily true that all of the fragments will also deorbit in a small multiple of that time.

> Basically, Kessler is not a concern at VLEO altitudes. Unfortunately most proposed Starlink competitors cannot afford to launch the thousands of satellites necessary for a viable VLEO constellation and instead are launching dozens or hundreds into LEO orbits which aren't self-clearing and do pose a Kessler concern.

Thankfully, Kuiper will be just above Starlink. From what I understand, their passive deorbit times are ~10-20 years.

The real problem is with OneWeb and the upcoming Telesat Lightspeed which are both at 1000km+. It sounds like OneWeb was planning on a greatly expanded next generation constellation, but they've since scaled their plans back and are incorporating bandwidth from geostationary satellites into their offerings.

> A Data Lakehouse is fine but what benefit does it give you over a much more simple solution of ETL/ELTing the data in batches (weekly, daily, hourly, etc) and letting it sit in some kind of DB.

Lots of engines like Polars, PyTorch, Spark, and Ray can read structured data from databases, but Lakehouses are more efficient.

Databases aren't as good for storing unstructured data.

Databases can also be much more expensive than a Data Lakehouse.

Databases are awesome and have lots of amazing use cases of course. Like you mentioned, data lakehouses are great for high data volume and throughput, but there are other use cases as well IMO.
First thing I would do is to wonder how I could enforce that ... for fun and games on others.

And really if we're talking about having to enroll a device into some sort of managed device system, schools don't have the time or manpower to manage tracking every kid's phone that is in the school.

And if we're talking about something you don't actively choose to enroll, we're back to my fun and games.
Well said, I completely agree with your characterization. Glad you and the bike were okay from the incident in Ecuador.
I have a wife and 2 pre teens at home.

All of our fixed costs are shared in a way to promote an equal amount per month per person. For example, I pay my daughter school's tuition and my wife pays of my son's. I pay Netflix, she pays Prime Video, so on and so forth.

For market and groceries, we have a credit card account with two cards. This was a game changer for our home expenses management. I have the total spent per month on a spreadsheet and can see how things are going, especially in regards to inflation, currently at 19%/y where I live.

Everything else like going out with friends, small indulgencies, fuel etc. each one of us would cover his/her own expenses.
But I do think my joke wasn't very good, in retrospect so your comment is not surprising.
I don't understand (2); I (and probably you, too) never had a phone going to school, or playing outside, or doing most other things, and this was fine. If you really need to get in touch for the rare emergency that will probably never happen you can just ring the school. I sometimes see parents talk about not being in contact 24/7 is like [1].

On a practical level, "no phones at all" is just so much easier to enforce.

Yes, that's called compromise. It's basically one of the foundations of society and civilization. It's not a blocker for public-interest projects.
There is a potential clash here between control and privacy.

A few years ago Apple blocked[1] some parental control apps because "they put users’ privacy and security at risk"

This actually came up with our school. They tried to use an app to control student phones but it was fundamentally limited by these Apple restrictions.

Social networks aren't the only reason that phones shouldn't be in schools. There are very few good reasons why a kid should be looking at their phone in school. Kids having phones is just a sweet spot where parental paranoia (legitimate) intersected with the opportunity to indulge your children (they're begging for it), with a luxury item that kids could discriminate against each other over (social disorder.)

I accept that it's understandable that we did the experiment, because it was a new device, but it offers no significant benefit to the parents and children (in fact playing into their neuroticism), and allowed companies a new way to go after those children to exploit their insecurities for money. It's moronic that we got rid of Saturday morning cartoons because they were just longform ads aimed at kids (but they were fun!), yet we allowed this contagion in school.

They shouldn't even be on Wikipedia in school. There's a teacher there, speaking, and a book. Look at Wikipedia at home. The teacher is expensive and only available at certain times, Wikipedia is cheap and always there.
Perhaps you should re-read what you wrote. You specifically stated that US law does not apply to US citizens abroad.

In addition, one of my examples specifically allows the prosecution of non-us citizens for their actions abroad toward US citizens. This directly contradicts the point you claim you were making but didn't accurately state.
> But would you rather be rich in a world of scarcity? Or middle class in a world of abundance?

I can tell you that many people would choose the first.
> Post-truth, post-shame, hyper individualism where everyone can be a winner if you're loud enough.

I don't think individualism has anything to do with this. If anything, the Internet/Social media gave...let's say...not the sharpest tools in the drawer an unprecedented ability to organize and be the loudest voice.

Typically, in order to have an authoritative opinion, you kind of had to show that your way of doing things was better for the community (e.g. building a windmill to grind grains). In the Internet/Social media era, all you have to do to sound credible is be loud and organize with other loud people, and there's no burden of proof required for anything.

So you end up with the villagers sacrificing cats and dogs, because the loud minority suggested it, and then their crops and livestock get eaten by rats and wolves respectively.

Basically, large, not-smart people have created large groups that advocate for things that just don't fucking work, and there's no feedback loop to prove them wrong, because there are no consequences on the modern Internet.

> I wonder why doesn't it come like this by default. It runs faster too because it's no longer frequently thermal throttled.

Because pumping up the voltage also allows them to increase the base clock frequency without causing instability. Consumers learned to compare the frequencies during the CPU wars so that's what they juice for marketing purposes.

Newer Thinkpads are notorious for this. Many of them can operate fanless 99% of the time if they just undervolted them by 100mV like you did. It's the first thing I do with a new laptop after installing a clean OS.
You're probably right about the terminology, sorry. My problem is that a lot of legitimate senders have failing (or soft-failing) sender setups, so I can't have my forwarder just drop all that (I'm not even sure my registrar-provided forwarder has that option).

Another option would be to have another inbox on the domain and have Gmail fetch with POP/IMAP, but many domain registrars don't have that service. Or is that what most people do?
Regarding the q & a, a few tips.

Somewhat obvious, but try to anticipate what questions might be asked, and come up with good responses in advance. In addition, you can potentially create backup slides to support key points.

Make sure you understand the question(s). Feel free to ask the questioner to clarify. It's also fine to try and paraphrase their question and ask if you understand them correctly. In fact I recommend doing this even when you're pretty sure you understand, since it (i) buys you time to think of a response (ii) helps others in the audience who might not have heard (iii) is especially useful if the presentation is recorded and the questioners don't have a mic.

Try to keep your responses brief and to the point. This gives time to more people to ask questions. Rambling on and on when a short answer would suffice often makes people think you don't know what you are taking about. In a technical presentation it's often much better to simply say "that's not something we've considered, interesting", or "that's something I'd need to think a bit more about" than to try and bluff. But obviously you don't want to do this for every question.

If someone is being really awkward and/or you really can't seem to answer this question, better to suggest taking it offline to avoid hogging the whole q & a period.

Try not to get too defensive.

When practicing your presentation, ask people to be as picky as possible and make you think on your feet. Hopefully the actual questions you get will be easier.

IMO handling the q & a well is almost as important than the presentation itself. It's a real shame when I see some interesting work with a good presentation and the reviewer then undoes it all by not being able to respond well to basic questions.
