US law does generally make fraud the bank's problem. Identity theft isn't loophole in this, it is a situation in which there is a logical ambiguity in differentiating one fraud from another. If they just believed everyone who said "it wasn't me that spent that money!" that would just be opening another vulnerability.
Eric Schmidt Says Google Is Falling Behind on AI–and Remote Work Is Why
This. I was kind of shocked when I realized I had completed the installation of GrapheneOS via my web browser.

I will likely pay a premium for the Pixel convenience when it's time to get a new phone. Will run this 6a until support ends.
This is awesome. How come we never see ads?
I'll never understood why Netflix, Hulu and others haven't done something similar to this. It's a much more natural way of "finding out" what you want to see. Create a bunch of channels based on existing tags or categories, have thing playing on a schedule, and allow me to zap through.

Bonus points if you allow me to zap as efficiently as I was able to back when we had analog TVs and cable. I was the master zapper, zapping through hundreds of channels in seconds. Just buffer the adjacent channels and calculate the maximum input latency.
He was a towering intellect - there's this book I got as a gift: https://www.amazon.com/First-Scientific-American-Benjamin-Fr...

He was an towering intellect and positively influenced any situation he was placed in - the odometer, the mapping of the gulf stream, counterfeit detection for paper bills are so far removed from his background in publishing, and later role as statesman - I can't think of anyone since who had such an striking impact; certainly no contemporary leaders who will be remembered so fondly 200 years from today.
First time I tasted scotch I thought it tasted smoked mud. I was making faces.

God I love whisky, and french cheese, and red wine, and oysters.
> You don't think we have the technical ability to determine this, to some degree? We have self driving cars for crying out loud.

I actually work on self-driving cars, so I have some experience on this. Trying to predict safety performance based on more easily measured metrics like hard stops is hard. AV companies spend a lot of time thinking about it. I don't think they get it perfect either.
I don't know why I love this.
Which says:

> You cannot completely disable IPv6 as IPv6 is used internally on the system for many TCPIP tasks. For example, you will still be able to run ping ::1 after configuring this setting.

I'd be concerned their workaround is just limiting it into a local vulnerability that spyware, etc will abuse on all the systems that end up not patched because they used the workaround..
I guess it's to me that's still just an pessimistic perception. Ray tracing was also extremely slow for a long time until Nvidia built dedicated HW to accelerate it. Is there reason to believe that splats are already well served by generic GPU compute that dedicated HW won't accelerate it in a meaningful way?

Here's splats from 2020 working at 50-60fps [1]. I think my overall point is I don't think it's performance that's holding it back in games but tooling & whether it saves meaningful costs elsewhere in the game development pipeline.

Gnus is not too far from that if someone maps HN to NNTP.

I think there are some HN to NNTP bridges available.
> Identity theft is rampant in the countries that don't have such a system

No, fraud is rampant in the countries that don't have such a system. Calling it identity theft makes it sound like the onus on preventing the practice is on "whoever's identify was stolen", instead of correcting pinning the onus on the bodies issuing accounts and loans without verifying information or identity.
I haven't seen the episode in question, but from what I understand people be can electrocuted/drown from swimming in water with current running through it. It is for this reason that it is not recommended to swim in marinas.

We can talk about the App store tax or other gross things Apple has done but to my knowledge Apple has never rug-pulled on something like payments. I can't think of a time they released something for free/lower fee then add/raised the fee. Maybe I'm forgetting something?

Also I think this is related to/create because of the DMA so they are opening it up because they have to, they aren't likely to try to close it down/add fees.

By “bad” I mean “commercials exist and are shown on TV”.

I don’t ever want to see a commercial. I have never been influenced by one. I never will be unless they change dramatically. There is no sales pitch that does not immediately make me dislike the salesperson.

“You don’t deserve your money as much as I do.” That’s all a commercial is. “We want your money so here is some quick audio and maybe video designed to convince you to give your money to us, in exchange for something less valuable than the amount you paid.”
You actually have less ocean front property because the land mass shrinks.
If you’re still under the impression that network and server design wasn’t about enabling remote work from the start, then you’re simply not seeing the bigger picture. The entire foundation of these systems was built to break down geographical barriers and enable people to work and collaborate from anywhere. This was never just about sharing resources—it was always about laying the groundwork for what would evolve into remote work.

From day one, the goal was clear: create networks that connect people regardless of their physical location, setting the stage for the flexible, remote work environments we have today. The evolution of these technologies wasn’t a happy accident; it was a deliberate move towards a world where work isn’t confined to an office.

If you disagree with this, you’re not just missing the point—you’re denying the very essence of what these innovations were designed to achieve. The idea that remote work wasn’t central to these developments is, frankly, shortsighted. The fact is, the potential for remote work was embedded in these systems from the beginning.

So, if you still don’t see that enabling remote work was the core outcome of these advancements, it’s time to wake up to the reality. To deny this is to fundamentally misunderstand the direction and purpose of network and server design from its inception. It’s not just about what these systems can do—it’s about what they were always meant to enable. And if you can’t grasp that, you’re not just behind the curve—you’re lost in the past.

Welcome to the internet. First time here?
It's a pretty good idea, but how are the videos picked? I flipped through all the channels and 11/12 was Americans talking (and the last one was sports). Would it be easy to be able to set the language?
Ask HN: Why does adding '+FB' to an email still deliver to the original address?
If you send an email to the address ‘hn+fb@gmail.com’, which doesn’t exist, the email will still be delivered to the original address ‘hn@gmail.com’. Why and how is that possible? I think for this to work, the email address should first be used on a Facebook account.”
These kinds of Next issues are why I stopped using it.

It is not bugs per-se as every framework has them.

It is that you are utterly stuck when they do and even 100s of thumbs up on issues don't get things fixed.

Case in point: can't defer chunk scripts anymore. Hard to get good performance scores as this is untenable.

Fetch cache limit is 2Mb or something like that and enforced by Verel. You need to fork NextJS and self host it to fix.

Probably 2 or 3 other such issues I forgot as well

Any over opinionated "batteries welded" frameworks will have this issue.

Use any of the usual MVC suspects like Rails for example and you avoid being stuck. You can find fixes or swap libraries. They tend to have battle tested out such issues anyway.

I was hoping they built a functional toaster inside the dishwasher, such that you could put bread in with your dishes, both would come out hot and ready, and the crumbs would be automatically washed away.
You're absolutely right that they're common in poor countries and that we can't afford more modern and safer alternatives. Not to mention that the more modern alternatives heat the water much more effectively, providing way more comfort.
There is a free service call Have I Been Pwned which uses your email address to see what data breaches you are part of (https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

While it uses your email to check (not SSN) odds are if they have your SSN in the dataset they also have your email.
While I'm in favor of restricting warrants in this way, it is important to realize that it will result in some crimes being unpunished, and potentially even deaths.

There is a cost to living in a free society that needs to be recognized, even though it is still a cost worth paying.
totally agree, I had an electrical device catch on fire because of this exact instance

Once electronics gets wet (like stuff you plug into a wall), it usually should be discarded for safety's sake.

edit: its not just that, the water causes the copper to oxidise and swell, touching places it shouldnt
Hmmm, I see more and more of the opposite. Children are consuming more resources we don’t have, how can you put a child into this world heading into oblivion anyway, etc.
the tabletop part is what sounds limiting. but if it could follow you around the house, that could be useful
I think they could find another reason to strike it down.

IMO, part of why the ACA was upheld is that it is (or was) a model that conservatives wanted to apply when privatizing other government functions. (e.g. Social Security) Roberts in particular appears to believe in this sort of wonkish conservatism and it played well with liberals giving him some of the "above politics" veneer that has since been lost.
Gives you some sense of what weirdos still have physical media these days.
Water is a lubricant as well. And yet it is not a good lubricant for all applications. WD-40 is absolutely spectacular for certain things, but if what you want is a lubricant there are much better options. For instance, there is a silicone version that will make a sticky old lock work like new.

You could probably burn WD-40 in a propane stove, but that doesn't mean it's a fuel.

> since a lot of channels are annoying to me using headphones, they pan the audio sources too hard left/right and it's super distracting

I find this interesting. Are you oversensitive? I've never even considered that this could be an issue. Do you experience the same problem with other things like music and games?

I have gotten these emails as well for a Cloudflare-hosted site. I was surprised when I got them because they seemed to crop up out of the blue (a month or so ago?) and AFAIK I couldn't think of much that could actually cause a 500 status code on my end.

They don't want to solve your problem. You aren't their customer. They want to comply with the letter of the request in as much as it covers their own butt in terms of regulatory requirements and/or political optics.
The main reason I know for using those switches is when running Chrome headlessly for automated browser tests. I'm sure they have other uses I haven't come across. The fact that the flags are specific to the version of Chrome you are running is not a big deal when you typically specify the version in your test harness anyway.
The US has three dumb points pushing back on this.

The first is religious nuts who think it would be a "mark of the beast"

The second is anti-government types who are, well, anti-government anything.

The third is many business owners, because it would become much harder/risky to hire illegal immigrants to work.
> Rust over easier-to-write languages like Go?

I think people already exposed to Hindley-Milner will find Rust far more tolerable and productive than Go.
Not good news. Doesn't matter if the business is presumed competent. What matters is that the business can steal your assets to pay for their losses.
no, electric showers heat the water much more effectively, providing way more comfort; here in argentina i have to wait 45 seconds or so for the shower to stop running cold because the hot water has to run all the way from the hot-water tank in the kitchen. and i have to cut the shower short after about 20 minutes because i run out of hot water. i had the same two problems when i lived in the usa, though constant-recirculation systems have become more common there in recent years, solving one of them

electric showerheads, by contrast, provide instant heat, and they provide it for as long as you care to shower. what they don't provide is hot water in the sink for washing dishes, unless you take the dishpan to the shower to fill it. and if they're incorrectly installed they can be deadly, but that's a pretty rare problem both with hot-water tanks and with electric showers. i've never talked to anybody who knew anyone killed by an electric shower, and the nature of electrocution is that it's unlikely to injure you without killing you

(tankless hot-water heaters, called calefones, are common here in argentina, and they also solve one of those two problems—the other one. rooftop evacuated-tube hot-water thermosiphon hot-water heaters are also somewhat popular here)

i think that, aside from dishwashing, the main advantage hot-water tanks have over electric showers is that historically natural gas has been much cheaper than electricity. since chinese solar panel producers have driven the cost of solar panels down by a factor of 20, that's not necessarily true anymore—but the intermittency of solar-energy production favors hot-water tanks, if anything, even more strongly

apparently electric showers are common in the uk, which is not a poor country: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41250251 but with much better safety measures than i'm used to seeing in latin american countries
This is what I had hoped horse creek/horse canyone was going to be before it was killed off. The board also needs a stable/updating linux distro like raspberry pi os is along with VS Code and language server support.

Interesting I thought this was part of the DMA, that they had to open up hardware to everyone, specifically the NFC chip.

How Matt's Machine Works
I haven't dug far into CT. I'm slowly making my way through Modern Foundations of Mathematics (Richard Southwell) [1] that was posted here recently.

That said, two comments:

1) The definition of a category is just objects, arrows, and composition. If you're looking for more features, you might be disappointed. (If you've grown up with 'methods' rather than arrows, then you don't necessarily have composition.)

Writing your logic with objects and arrows is just damn pleasant. If I have bytes, and an arrow from bytes to JSON, then I have JSON. If I have also have an arrow from JSON to a particular entry in the JSON, then by the property of composition, I have an arrow from bytes to that entry in the JSON.

2) The various CT structures are re-used over and over and over again, in wildly different contexts. I just read about 'logict' on another post. If you follow the link [2] and look under the 'Instances' heading, you can see it implements the usual CT suspects: Functor, Applicative, Monad, Monoid, etc. So I already know how to drive this unfamiliar technology. A few days ago I read about 'Omega' on yet another post - same deal [3]. What else? Parsers [4], Streaming IO [5], Generators in property-based-testing [6], Effect systems [7] (yet another thing I saw just the other day on another post), ACID-transactions [8] (if in-memory transactions can count as 'Durable'. You don't get stale reads in any case).

They're also widespread in other languages: Famously LINQ in C#. Java 8 Streams, Optionals, CompletableFutures, RX/Observables. However these are more monad-like or monad-inspired rather than literally implementing the Monad interface. So you still understand them and know how to drive them even if you don't know all the implementation details.

However what's lacking (compared to Haskell) is the library code targeting monads. For example, I am always lacking something in Java Futures which should be right there: an arrow I can use to get from List<Future<T>> to Future<List<T>>. In Haskell that code ('sequence') would belong to List (in this case 'Traversable' [9]), not Future, as it can target any Monad. This saves on an n*m implementation problem: i.e. List and logict don't need to know about each other, vector and Omega don't need to know about each other, etc.

The big issue is not the water that will dry if you wait but that the hot water will make something that is glued or something that has two materials that expand different when heated break.

There is no amount of letting it dry out or adding rice that will solve if things are apart.
You seem to be invested in this topic in a weird and unhealthy way but there is nothing of value here in this comment.

You baselessly accuse journalists of straight up making things up and then go on to give some anecdotal evidence that conveniently nobody can disprove.
I think we've got liability pretty well buttoned-up in the banking industry. I'm more concerned about the non-bank businesses. (I recently obtained utilities at a new house. All three utilities-- electrical, gas, and water/sewer-- use my SSN as an authenticator for my account. In 2024.)

If you guys want to go down an unusually interesting rabbit hole, the book Open-Focus Brain by Les Fehmi and (especially) the associated audio exercises, are all about this.

I’d replace “instead of” with “in addition to”.

Going after data brokers seems like low hanging fruit, and necessary even if the ID system needs to be replaced. This is a top level issue that need to be addressed regardless.

While I think it’d be great to design a system where the information you mention is harmless (I’m curious how this would work without just shifting the problem to whatever new identifier is established), the reality is that this information is not harmless, and will continue to be dangerous to leak for the foreseeable future due to the myriad of systems that use this data in its current form. Any theoretical project to replace this would likely be a long and drawn out undertaking. Addressing the information environment in the meantime seems like a good idea.
Extremely pedantic difference but not quite. They'd still be able to coast which makes it single speed. Being able to freewheel or not is the difference between a single speed and a fixed.

People on HN like to pretend that non-tech people couldn't possibly be good at doing things that techies aren't. Most techies couldn't kick a soccer ball that far, let alone come close to hitting a target that far away, so they assume the very idea is impossible.

Those who actually watched Beckham play (in Europe, or even during his retirement era in Los Angeles) knew what he was capable of[1], and that's why the general public was willing to believe this ad could have been true when it was released: because Beckham could easily have hit a target that big and that far away, and it wasn't much of a stretch to believe he could land a ball inside a trashcan with practice.

[1] Beckham was a free kick specialist, and is regarded as the best free kicker of all time. The movie "Bend It Like Beckham" derives its title from his legendary skill.

Hack is custom made for facebook and its use cases, and there’s no use for distinguishing those kind of IO at Facebook. The main use case for the effects system is actually privacy, wherein where processes that aren’t privacy controlled cannot access user data or data that got processed by other functions that did. And that’s enforced by the runtime. It’s super cool and a great example of what those systems are capable of.
You do realize that crimes are specific to geographic regions, yes? How EXACTLY would you propose building inherent limitations into a general purpose computing device that would account for this?
