> do you have in mind a hypothesis which you think is not testable but is still part of scientific inquiry?

Atomism was certainly not testable when it was first proposed by the ancient Greeks, and yet here we are. What is unscientific today could be scientific tomorrow (or in a thousand years). I would argue that figuring out how to (dis)prove something is also part of scientific inquiry.
I'm going to posit that unless you've used GNOME, KDE, etc. on more than one distribution, it's potentially unfair to judge the DE based on that singular experience.

I've had very different experiences with various desktops depending on which distribution they are on. Ubuntu tends to customize GNOME more than Fedora, so it's possible that what you didn't like was more to do with Ubuntu than GNOME. (Not dissing Ubuntu here - I tested 24.04 recently and it was fine. I actually liked some of their customizations.)

We should make the data on large platforms like YouTube and social media in general accessible to all companies for AI use (with the actual creator’s positive consent).
Is that true? The first thing we see is a graphic showing another 11 automakers.

Seems unfair to say its clickbait because it should cover the thing it covered that is enabling us to call it clickbait.

No, for exactly the reason we just saw, and the same reason why vaccines are tested before widespread rollout.
Do they even need to target OSHA specifically now that they eliminated Chevron deference?

Presumably, as with all other federal agencies, all OSHA regulations not specifically encoded into the law by congress are moot, and can only be re-established via lengthy and expensive litigation, where judges (instead of domain experts) will set the technical standards.
Jira is a lot better than a huge number of software it replaced.

My big complaint is Jira is that it’s too flexible. Way too easy for micromanagement to seep in to solve a problem with “just one more field” or one more ticket state.
Terse minutes are pretty common across the board (um, no pun intended there). Unless the meeting happens in a chat fora, it's usually a very brief summary. Doubly so when it's a personnel matter because the less said the better.
People use gpg because it is relatively auditable and -- unlike Signal -- is not funded by this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Technology_Fund

One can claim that the OTF sponsors encryption like Tor and Signal to help dissidents abroad. Maybe, but the list of organizations and people involved in the OTF are far from a glowing endorsement.

In that light, discouraging gpg and PGP makes me more eager to use gpg.

Some comments theorise that the NUL-file was deployed to fix the issue with the corrupt file that caused the crashes.
Completely agree. The lack of clarity around all this is hardly confidence inspiring. Definitely seems like a good time to be considering AMD or Qualcomm.
I don't understand why people keep posting about this when it's clear that all the threads are getting nuked. What makes this so special that it will go through?
But.. But.. But.... This is HN. You must use AI / LLMs for everything! /s
Honestly, my idea would be a privacy protecting search engine, think DuckDuckGo, that promises to never use AI without careful research and if it is used promise that it'll always default to off.

It feels like everyone is putting AI in even though not many people particularly want AI.

Security Auditing Your Website: Preparing for HIPAA Compliance
The clickbaity nature of the title is unlikely to prove popular here, but I felt it was still very much worth the watch (as with almost anything involving Stephen Fry) with salient points being made.
FYI, both the following statements can be true:

1. Crowdstrike didn’t test adequately

2. Viruses can move pretty fast once a foothold is gained
GPG is hard in part because the problem it is solving is hard: allowing people to send private messages to strangers over an open system with diverse implementations designed many years ago without any regard to privacy.

It is also hard because it was released (as PGP) ~30 years ago when computers and available encryption algorithms significantly less powerful than they are today. Hence, there are more choices in the system than would be ideal.

In my experience it can be effective if adopted as the default for email with a group that works together daily (ish) and takes responsibility of standardizing on strong cipher and key size choices and distributing a trusted set of keys (regularly since some will always be expiring). This is a fair amount of work compared with “have email be clear text and selectively use Signal for extra sensitive things.” (And you’ll still want Signal anyway. Email is just the fallback.) But it relies much less on people figuring out what to put in the “sensitive” bucket.
Thats not a very useful heuristic. There are numerous relationships that effectively shield liability, and many of these make perfect sense.
I think the way we do ballot access also contributes to it. We give candidates backed by established political organizations preferential treatment (vs separating out qualifying for the ballot and support from the organization).

> It's clicbait for making it seem as if Telsa is somehow unique in being down, and they go on an entire sidebar/tirade about it. But actually there's nothing different about Telsa vs the other car manufacturers.

Their point is that Tesla got to where it is due to a variety of factors that did not apply to most of the other manufacturers, that some of those factors had built-in time limits that may be being reached, and that Musk has been doing things that will reduce some of those other factors.
If having seed funding from the US military / government is a dealbreaker for your communication platforms, you should not be on the internet in the first place. Google “arpanet.”
This entire thread is stupid.

Computer security as a whole has improved, whilst the complexity of interconnected systems has exponentially increased.

This has made the barrier to entry for malware higher, and so means we no longer have the same historic examples of large scale worms targeting consumer machines that we used to.

At the same time the financial rewards for finding and exploiting a vulnerability within an organisations complex stack have greatly increased. The rewards are coupled to the time it takes to execute on the vulnerability.

This leads to what we have today: localised, and often specialised attacks against valuable targets that are executed as fast as possible in order to minimise the chance a target has to respond or the vulnerability they are exploiting to be burned.

Of course the “smart people belw” must know this, so it’s unclear why they are pretending to be dumb.
This is a very partial view. A good number of people, including American democrats were disgusted by his unwavering support to the current genocide in Gaza. Many believe he could have stopped it with a phone call and explicitly refused. I know many who swore they would not vote for him, regardless of the circumstances.
There are plenty of places to discuss this that aren't HN. The HN Guidelines say

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
Hell I’d love something like that even for random online interactions. Getting paired with random interesting people from all over and have casual exchanges that are private and not recorded forever on some social platform.

If it is a sufficiently clear-cut case, they might. However, no-win no-pay lawyers (the only ones accessible to most construction workers' families) rarely act in their clients' financial interest.

Typical tactics involve settling for whatever maximizes the $/hour the lawyer earns (e.g., they might take a low-ball settlement the first week instead of spending months on discovery to get to trial), and having fine print in the contract saying you have to pay for expenses regardless of the case outcome (and then racking up all sorts of expenses on your behalf, and perhaps settling for a value so low your cut doesn't cover the bills).

A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

English had multiple attempted spelling reforms, but that mostly resulted in differences between American and British spellings of the same words. There was no central power to enforce a single English spelling because America had successfully broken off from the British Empire whose coercive force backed the English language.

In contrast, France was extremely good at putting down revolutionaries in their colonies. Even when they gained nominal independence France would invent debts to impoverish their former colonies. France was also extremely good at putting down local languages, even within France itself. France waged a century-long campaign to hunt its own minority languages to extinction[0] and the language regulators are themselves part of the same infrastructure.

In other words, "regular spelling" is a colonial atrocity and English's incomprehensible spelling rules are a demonstration of freedom.

This can even be demonstrated in each language's attitude towards loanwords. English stole huge swaths of Latin, Greek, and French vocabulary. Text even a few centuries old is difficult to read and anything older than Shakespeare is completely inscrutable[1] as there's too many Germanic root words for this ostensibly Germanic language. Meanwhile in France, their language regulators fight tirelessly to invent new calques for English loanwords to stop the "Anglicization of French", as if that were a thing that needed to be stopped.

Well, I suppose there is one reason why you'd want to stop it: loanwords make it far harder to regularize spelling. Think about, say, all the Japanese loanwords in English. Hepburn romanization[2] tried to make them readable to English speakers, but didn't do a great job, so now English has to accommodate spellings like karaoke, tsundere, or sakura alongside spellings like pleonasm, beef, or Olympic. Good luck inventing a spelling system that can both faithfully represent the "correct" sounds for all of those words, while also remaining legible to present English readers, and being adopted in every country that speaks English to some degree - off the top of my head that includes America, Canada, the UK, Australia, India, Nigeria, and South Africa.

[1] As I put it to a native Japanese speaker: "You can read Genji, I can't read Beowolf."

[2] Which itself isn't used by native speakers since you can't round-trip Hepburn to Romaji. Japan itself uses Kunrei-shiki romanization, it's the one that spells つ as tu instead of tsu.
There should be no problem on the customer side. Just do a chargeback in this case (and please do this only in case of a scammer as the consequences are severe for a business. Always reach out first to the company before doing this!). If enough people do a chargeback the payment provider of the company will kick them out of business in case you can prove in the dispute from the payment provider that the auto-renews go against regulations in your respective country.

I've been using Cloudflare's thing ("tunnel", I think) for the basic functionality, but I see this does additional things. If I ever want to do those things (or I just decide I want to try something different) I'll keep this in mind.
Sure, everyone's experience is subjective. A lot of the tech debt I've seen that ends up being true baggage for developer velocity is inherent to some core foundation of the codebase leading to large rewrites. Most teams I've worked in try to address the smaller tech debt while working on related features that otherwise would use the tech debt (i.e. "leave it better than you found it") but that I'm sure depends on the team and what pressures they face.
depends if you define long tail as customer count vs contract size
One downside of self-signed certs is that browsers will to upgrade all localhost ports to HTTPS thanks to HSTS. In practical terms, that meant:

- we needed to upgrade all dev servers to serve both HTTPS and HTTP.
- we downgraded server to server comms to HTTP (something about invalid cert chain)

I think the ideal solution is to use “local” domain names but that requires a DNS resolver (via Tailscale or similar).
> to think about how individual agents decide to cooperate or not on life-extension tech

I think the sort of people that can afford it in the early years will be the sort that amass ungodly amounts of wealth and the sort that would be difficult to defend as virtuous in the Stoic sense.

I personally am not a Stoic, I've been suicidal since I was 12 and the only reason I'm still here is that my survival instinct has kicked in every time so far. Indefinite life extension sounds like hell tbh. I'll serve my time as long as my body refuses to die, but I do not engage in any specific effort at life extension.

PS: I vaguely get the time discount thingy. I will need to think about what it means.
No, but there are impenetrable barriers. 0days in paricular are usually very specific and affect few systems directly but even the broader ones aren't usually followed by a blanket attack that pwns everything and steals all the data or monies. Just about the only way to achieve this kind of blast radius is to have a kernel-level backdoor installed in every other computer on the planet - which is exactly what those endpoint "security" systems are.

I'm for limited immigration but not how it is right now when there are millions entering the country each year and we're not building more homes to keep up with the new demand and we already have a housing crisis. Immigration should be orderly and law based.
That doesn't surprise me. I imagine that construction labor is a lower fraction of expenses for very large projects, as well as real risk, and overhead.

C++20 added `[[no_unique_address]]`, which lets a `std::is_empty` field alias another field, so long as there is only 1 field of that `is_empty` type.
https://godbolt.org/z/soczz4c76
That is, example 0 shows 8 bytes, for an `int` plus an empty field.
Example 1 shows two empty fields with the `int`, but only 4 bytes thanks to `[[no_unique_address]]`.
Example 2 unfortunately is back up to 8 bytes because we have two empty fields of the same type...

`[[no_unique_address]]` is far from perfect, and inherited the same limitations that inheriting from an empty base class had (which was the trick you had to use prior to C++20).
The "no more than 1 of the same type" limitation actually forced me to keep using CRTP instead of making use of "deducing this" after adopting c++23: a `static_assert` on object size failed, because an object grew larger once an inherited instance, plus an instance inherited by a field, no longer had different template types.

So, I agree that it is annoying and seems totally unnecessary, and has wasted my time; a heavy cost for a "feature" (empty objects having addresses) I have never wanted.
But, I still make a lot of use of empty objects in C++ without increasing the size of any of my non-empty objects.

C++20 concepts are nice for writing generic code, but (from what I have seen, not experienced) Rust traits look nice, too.
You cannot trust corporate "end-to-end" encryption, it often is marketing language without any basis in software.

So GPG (PGP) is the only current choice to be "reasonably secure". That means if you make no mistake and your counterparties make no mistakes, then you can communicate relatively safely about medium-sensitive things online.

Absolute security, however, requires a one time pad, and if you desire it you had better use a medium with a smaller attack surface [than the Internet].

When your processor is cooking itself to death, all bets are off. We have seen some of them in our data center over the years, albeit very rarely.

Biden's presidency makes me wonder if we really need a head of state these days. Is it really necessary to have such a single powerful figure in the executive branch?

The biggest exception (IMO) would be in times of crisis, where a strong executive is necessary.
