> The way this is already being exploited in the wild is that a scalper/scammer buys 1 ticket, then resells the same ticket multiple times. Multiple people believe they have a valid ticket, show up at the event, but only the 1st ticket works. The other people who try to use the ticket are turned away saying that their ticket has already been used.

That is one of many ways this is already exploited in the wild.
Who wouldn't kill for a foolproof way to generate Collison brothers on cue, from cheap inputs. Now that we've heard the arguments for talent recognition, what are some prospects for talent development?
I tried this last weekend and it was anything but smooth. Many discovery/connection issues, and only two of the four devices sent over anything except the highly compressed "preview" stream, and they wouldn't send the final copy no matter what I tried. Had to make do with the lower quality videos to get the edit out quickly.

Bonus: FCP on iPad would keep throwing a blocking error stating it couldn't get the final streams every sixty seconds or so, for the entire duration of my editing and long after the other devices had left the vicinity. It seems the FCP project is somehow tainted by this.

Next time, I'll just record separate videos from all of them and use Resolve to sync via audio analysis to create a new multicam video.
Is water harvested on Mars habitable for fish? If not, bringing such large volume of water to orbit and/or Mars could be too costly.

What does "once" mean here? Book sellers use a business model where the cost of creation is split between all of the purchasers. If "once" means that piracy can begin after the first sale, well, that first sale is going to cost a fortune or the book won't be created.
Same here. If they should ever show up at my doorstep (very unlikely though) I would gladly hide them for as long as they need to.

This is laughable, there are killers, syndicate bosses, drug dealers and human traffickers out there on the run, maybe the prosecutors should get their priorities a bit in order...

I agree, the German translation is pretty bad (phrases like "Hier ist, was sie über Quicklang.", "Es ist ein Durcheinander. Sie wissen Bescheid.", and "Du kannst all meine Programmierprojekte auf X" are incomplete or awkward).

It also doesn't sound like this can handle dynamic phrases like "buy {{count}} items"?

That also assumes the iteration provides value to me as a customer.

I bought a license for Sketch years ago. It expired. Thankfully Sketch provide old versions for download so I’m still on version whatever-it-is… and it does everything I need. I know there’s new functionality but I’m not really interested in it.
It's too easy to get unsuccesful results. (Does listening to Macarena for 8 hours per day cure brain cancer in mice?)

So unsuccesful results are very difficult to publish and to be the base of a thesis. So you must find a twist or secondary result and make it the central part. (Does listening to Macarena for 8 hours per day cause brain damage in mice?)
Or even just bind it to ctrl-e in bash:

IP-intensive industries contribute 41% of the US GDP and employ 44% of the US workforce [1]. If you abolished IP all of that would go away. How would you replace that? I'm not a fan of IP either but I think it's pretty hard to escape that reality. Big companies like NVIDIA (3T market cap) are almost 100% IP.

IP is more-or-less central to the US's economic and security strategy. Without it, the country loses a huge amount of power and influence in the world.

Open Sound System (OSS), rather than Open Source Software, if I'm reading you right. I only recall because I've been toying with sound software for decades, trying to get various synths and music composition applications working. Apologies if that didn't address your confusion.
On a disk, different characters have different pitches…typically fonts aren’t monospace.

Because the system is entirely mechanical, kerning is as good as the typesetter makes it. Or as bad.

The business use was camera ready art where appropriate lighting would disappear paste-up artifacts. So you could get anything you wanted with a straitedge, #11 blade, good light, time and experience. But for many uses, the quality of the typefaces was enough without kerning…I mean drawing letters by hand was and is the most expressive way to realize a unique creative vision. Using a machine means accepting a good-enough.
What is your actual need here? You talk about confusing documentation for a low-level process which basically no user is expected to go through if they aren't exploring the foundations of a linux system, or a developer working on their own distribution, and then complain that this is a lack of "a decent installer process".
Yeah, except NO.

A lot of people think live event ticketing is the same problem as airplane tickets, but they really aren't. As an example, there are rules about requiring identification for commercial flight. There are rules against requiring identification for live events.

Not a database you can trawl for your own uses, just something that if you scan an ID pops up validating(/rejecting) it and lists the associated name.

I guess you could abuse that to turn partial IDs into more realistic ones? But that feels like a stretch. I can't see it being that useful for much more than confirming that an ID isn't a fake, which seems hard to abuse.

Yeah no, the first link takes me to a random press release on their corporate website. Unless I already know that this corporate press release site is also the site where the product info is, I won't know to look for it — many modern products have the corporate entity and the actual product separate. It would literally be easier to use feeling lucky on Google. It's deeply wishful thinking that anyone would go and explore the website for your corporate entity just because you're trying to sell something.

It took me about a year to build all of this stuff in C++. So I imagine since I've had to learn rust, it will probably take me the same amount of time if I can save time with dependencies.
The article says...

> If you’re someone who doesn’t notice motion smoothing or doesn’t particularly care about it...

This basically is me.

It then proceeds to describe a number of things that would be blatantly obvious and asks you to imagine if you couldn't turn them off. Yes, if my Kindle's fonts all went 3x size, I'd both notice and probably care.

But this "logic" fails to work with that previously quoted sentence. Yes, I would care about something I noticed or cared about. But why should I care about something I don't notice or don't care about?
'This time'? What's that about?

The 'robots' (AI, web services etc) continue to wallpaper the entire space of intelligence-workers. It's going to steamroller across that space until it encompasses the tasks 'from soup to fish' as they used to say.

Automation (in America) has been going on for 20 years, at an increasing pace the entire time. Never mind employment figures, they're counting cashier-at-McD's the same as professional accountant - 'a job'. Folks have been moving down the economic ladder in freefall for decades.

Oh, you’re serious. Sorry, let me laugh even harder.

Companies famously give out attractive raises to retain individuals. They definitely do not give out pittances, and then act shocked when said individuals leave for a competitor.

Honestly, I don’t give a shit if the FTC had the authority or not. Retroactively grant it to them or something. Non-competes are farcical for 99% of employees, and anyone trying to use them to bully people deserves to be mocked.

We're talking about an intercom in a school system. Why would they care about encryption or someone listening in? They probably just want to be able to talk to other people on campus, and not have it be taken over remotely by some script kiddie and turning it into a node in a botnet.
it's good - or at least, fine - for stuff that you want to look as true-to-life as possible. Sports, nature documentaries, news coverage (if you're into that)

> Does anyone knows how Ticketmaster works, really?

For the most part, no. I'm actually shocked by how much understanding you are demonstrating in this post. I did not expect to find that on Hacker News.
Ehhhh it’s not always the case. Lots of laws have low levels of support (from constituents) but high levels of inertia that prevents them from being repealed. Subsidies are a prime examples. Alpaca subsidies for the Korean War were not repealed until the 1990s. (There’s probably also an important distinction between general support and support from the smaller population of monied classes that skews this further).
Needs your API key as it needs to access the email forwarding service which you want to use with it.

It's not just making up a bullshit address, it's generating a random localpart then going to the email forwarding service you've integrated and having that service create an email forward to your real address per whatever settings you have there.

Any email sent to the address it generates (signup confirmations, password resets etc) need to get to you, after all.

This design is completely different to using <business>@example.com. The latter is kind of useful for your use of 'who has sold my address' but has privacy drawbacks this design doesn't. e.g. if a spammer gets bestbuy@exmaple.com they know you prob also have twitter@exmaple.com, facebook@exmaple.com or whatever else and it's all just the same guy with the same inbox.

Truly 'random' addresses at generic forwarding services means that if Ashley Maddison gets breached again then your secret remains safe. sj4h3bd@forwarder.net could be anyone.
Ever heard of .po files?
Indeed, most movies make most of the money in the first few weeks of showing. Were it not for the physical limitation of having to go to a theater, much of that money won't be made.

Same with books: were it not for the need to buy a book before it shows up on libgen, or the need to have a physical book, book sales would plummet. Actually this is exactly what some of the anti-copyright activists proclaim as the goal: removing most of the need to buy a book, at least from the publisher.

Of course, there is the counter-example of music: people who pirate music also buy a lot of music, when the price is below the impulse buy threshold; see Bandcamp or Apple Music. The lack of copy protection does not incite them to pirate the same material, because they want to support their favorite bands. Those bands which did not sign up with major labels, of course, because the major labels earn and pay a significantly different amounts of money.
I don't remember exactly, but somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000.

Why does it exist?

Because it's legal and profitable.

If you don't like it, try to convince regulators that it shouldn't be legal and provide a framework for criminalizing/fining it without unintended consequences, and then find a way to pay regulators more in bribes than the HFT shops do, even though their pockets are deeper than yours, and then things may change.

If that sounds impossible, that's another answer to your question
The barcode is just another field in there, so it can be updated the same as anything. Passkit is very simple. For the barcode part you just tell it type of code (from the available types) and value to encode.

Which other manufacturers recently had a huge hole open up in the plane mid-flight? Which other manufacturers are guilty of conspiring to defraud the FAA? Which other manufacturers installed software that resulted in deadly crashes because pilots weren't even aware it existed and/or weren't trained on it?

It's possible that there really are other manufacturers with these exact same problems, but either way it looks like Boeing has more than earned all the scrutiny and criticism they're getting. I'm all for naming and shaming other manufacturers that make deliberate choices to routinely put profits over human life though.

Show HN: Extreme Mutation Testing to Optimize LLM Agent-Based Mutation Testing
Hey HN, Steven here from CodeIntegrity https://github.com/codeintegrity-ai/mutahunter We’re obsessed with automating software testing, specifically mutation testing, and have been frustrated with its slow adoption despite its proven success. I have a pretty different perspective on mutation testing and have shared my thoughts on its current state - https://www.jungsteven.com/blog/2024-07-03-past-present-future-mutation-testing

Over the past few months, we’ve developed a new mutation testing tool that’s easy to use and compatible with any programming language. We believe LLM-based injections are the future for generating relevant faults and automating the process of analyzing surviving mutants to better fix bugs and improve test suites.

Our approach to mutation testing is as follows: first, use Extreme Mutation Testing to cover all pseudo-tested methods, and then use LLM to inject relevant mutants. LLMs will also specifically guide users on where to improve the test suite or fix the codebase so that developers don’t have to manually go through the surviving mutants.
We envision mutation testing to be something like Netflix’s Chaos Monkey, injecting relevant faults and seeing how your system breaks. We are currently developing these features to make mutation testing more seamless and easier during the development process, so that more and more people get used to using mutation testing.

Please give it a try, and we’d appreciate any feedback from you guys. Excited to see how this turns out!
Either that, or tired, stressed, overworked, understaffed employees just naturally do worse work.

It's absolute bullshit because the crime (copyright violation) had not been proven at the time of the transaction, and without that, how does one know they're violating copyright vs. exercising fair use rights?

It's almost circular logic.

I loved the Affinity Suite, but it’s such a shame that Linux isn’t supported or that it isn’t provided in a Wine-friendly distributable (a regular installer executable rather than a Windows App Store package).
You're assuming they won't find stuff to do with more computing power. Based on how software has bloated over time, even machines like you're talking about will be used for simple stuff.
Gender identity is a fairly recent cultural invention too, it just started out as a euphemism for the desire to be the opposite sex, or, more commonly, some stereotyped idea of the opposite sex.

In a culture without such polarized ideals of how males and females should behave and present themselves, the concept probably wouldn't exist at all.

What Is a Blunder in Chess? (2023)
Yep, just realized I got comments threads crossed here. Ignore the banning voters question, sorry about that!

My understanding of the history of how the Nazi Party took power is a bit different than what you're describing, curious what you may have seen that I haven't. My understanding is that the party was always based on racist ideology but that it only went antisemitic in the 30s around the time Hitler gained power.

Sorry again about the voting question, that's very confusing when I got the context wrong here!

When the sun shines, no question about it solar is the cheapest. But is it still the cheapest when you account for battery storage?

Remember, poor countries can't just print dollars to buy batteries from China. If they don't have domestic manufacturing capacity, they have to spend foreign exchange reserves to pay for the imports. That gets expensive real quick.

Developing countries also often lack the technical talent available in wealthier ones. Quickly spinning up battery manufacturing can be difficult to do.

All I'm saying is: don't assume these countries haven't done the math for themselves. Saying "just use solar" might be sound advice. But it might also be a rich person telling a poor person to buy a Costco membership because it saves money. It's objectively correct but it may not be feasible for the poor person.

If anything developing countries are more open to the cheapest solution. They can't afford to get into ideological debates about whether climate change is real or worry about saving coal jobs by promoting "clean coal".
I think it made sense at the time. From what I understand, you can make Java run as fast as C++ if you're careful with it and use JIT. However, I have never tried such a thing and my source is hearsay from friends who have worked in financial institutions. Then you get added benefit of the Java ecosystem.
Since I'm seeing people repeat the mistake, I'd like to point out that it's obstinate.
The one feature that keeps me on KeyPirinha over PowerToys Run is the ability to configure and launch portable apps from specific locations (and subdirectories).

I strongly suspect that 'Run has the feature, but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Beyond that they mostly occupy the same space, with 'Run slightly faster to popup (and by slight I mean measured in mS).
Is WFH destroying IT work culture and affecting salaries and promotions?
> Tighter spreads, the difference between you buying and then selling again is lower. Which often is good for the "actual users" of the market.

I just wanted to highlight this one in particular - the spread is tighter because HFTs eat the spread and reduce the error that market players can benefit from. The spread is disappearing because of rent-seeking from the HFTs.

I do not care if this book is in some library 1000km away. If I need a book I will search in my local ones. Never understood what is the point in what worldcat does but maybe others use it in some way useful to them.

I'm saying you can't independently fund whatever features you desire without a fork, because upstream is under zero obligation to accept your contribution. They may have a conflicting vision of where development needs to go, or simply be unwilling to assume the risk of taking your contribution.
Fairness and equality before the law benefits everyone.

But we live in a broken society where corporations have the rights of people (including political donations as free speech), but don't have the ability to be punished in a way that is at all aligned with what we inflict on actual people. This also means that punishment is largely not an effective deterrent for large companies, where the penalties when they're caught are smaller than the revenue when they're not caught (see cases of tech giants laughing off penalties in the 7-9 figures).

If the cost of being able to actually punish companies is that you sometimes have to actually punish companies with the side effect that we can't spend the whole $900B/yr on war machines to pass on to wars on the other side of the planet ... then sigh, I guess we'll have to settle for only buying $880B of death this year.
AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 Series vs. 14th Gen Intel Core CPU Performance on Linux
I think you're being unreasonable. "Acceptable quality" is whatever a reasonable person accepts an argument for. If Roku doesn't want to run afoul of these laws perhaps they should make these kinds of features optional instead of forcing them on people? I remember back in the day when a software update removed my ability to play FM radio on my phone and that was certainly frustrating for me. I personally continued using the phone but I could see how someone who purchased the phone for that feature would be dismayed at its sudden removal.

The whole point of these laws is to prevent manufacturers from squeezing people by making products that fail early, or that are difficult to use. If you don't understand why this is important then I'd question how much life experience you really have.
You can also read the Boeing documents. The hazard analysis listed MCAS as hazardous. By Boeing process controls, that should have mandated redundant sensors. Why were they optional? Because that could increase profits. (Seattle Times has done good reporting on this).
