> Not only do I argue that, but it's a banal argument among security practitioners.

Well that's great to know. Do all security practitioners also believe whatever they hear from each other without question? Or do they only expect us mortals to treat them that way?
On the other hand, when I joined a previous employer that (at the time--they improved) had fairly mediocre paid time off policies (not really that bad but it was the first time I had encountered PTO including both vacation and sick time and there was mandatory shutdown around the holidays). When I got what seemed like a pretty generous offer given I was making a relatively small salary at the time and the company was private so no stock, they also made it clear that the PTO was non-negotiable. Now, in practice, given my role no one was eyeing a few hours here and there to go to some appointment or a bit of personal time tacked on to business travel especially if I had traveled over a weekend, but the paper amount of PTO was just so-so.
> I feel betrayed by Oracle due to their detaching of JavaFX from default JDK.

Why? Didn't removal of JFX from default JDK just meant that developers
are expected to bundle their own thin custom-built JREs alongside the
application? So that the applications will run on systems that don't
have a JRE installed, or their installed JRE is too old.

E.g. JetBrains distributes their own JRE with Idea, which contains
bundled JFX. Or, they did it in the past, not sure about today.
Is non-solicitation illegal collusion?

If it is, does that mean that they are legally obligated to try and steal Apples employees? What does that even look like from a practical point of view? How is that enforced?

I am aware of all of the other cases of collusion and wage suppression, but I’m interested in this specific email only, since you wrote “This illegal collusion” is it really?

I’m not being deliberately provocative I am genuinely curious - the reason I’m kind of pushing on definitions is because slimy corporate lawyers will weasel as much as they can, so I’m just playing devils advocate if anything - on a personal level I agree 100% with you!

Why would you not use OTel?

This is clearly the industry standard protocol and the present and future of o11y.

The whole point is that o11y vendors can stop reinventing lower level protocols and actually offer unique value props to their customers.

So why would you want to waste your time on such an endeavor?
Why are you intentionally missing my point?

Are you saying we should somehow all go back to cash and also use cash online?
> It is undoubtedly hard work to fix these remaining problems, as they typically require both rust and C knowledge in addition to deep HTTP familiarity. There does not seem to be that many persons interested or available for this challenge. Meanwhile, there is little if any demand for hyper from existing (lib)curl users.

You might as well replace HTTP with OS, hyper with rust and curl with linux, and you get the current situation with Rust adoption on Linux.
I always wondered why people were not thinking of noise when they think of package delivery drones. Even the garden variety light weight drones makes quite an amount of noise.

This is the same reason that 'flying cars', which in many sense are big drones, is very unlikely to be an everyday thing.
I would almost certainly never implement a UI as a render loop, but if you wanted to go down that path requestAnimationFrame is a much more idiomatic way to do it if you want to match the user's display refresh rate.
> I am saying that in the age of GPT-code-slave-bots I'd rather learn the process of figuring out how to tell the AI what I want and I also iteratively learn through the process.

Why?

It's your choice, but everyone knows AI is like poison for deterministic problem-solving. Learning how to better rely on an unreliable machine only guarantees that you're feeble when you have to do something without it. Like relying on autopilot when you don't know how to fly a plane, or trying to get HAL-9000 to open the airlock when you weren't trained on the manual process.

Using AI to automate takedown requests is just pointless. The only reason automated takedowns work is that their automated messages are canned and written by lawyers with a user as the signatory. If you have AI agents write custom and non-binding requests to people that hold your data, nobody will care. At that point you may as well copy-and-paste the messages yourself and save the hassle of correcting a brainless subordinate.

It's as if the first-world has rediscovered the joy of reading, after a brief affair with smartphones, media paranoia and a couple election cycles dominated by misinformation bubbles. Finally, an unopinionated author with no lived-experience to frame their perspective! It's just what we've all been waiting for (besides the bias).

If I were in your position I would craft my own OTel distribution and ship it.

This is very easy to do: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-bu...

With this approach you’re standing on the shoulders of giants, compatible with any agent that speaks OTLP, and can market your distribution as an ecosystem tool.
I did an analysis and selection of rich client platforms while at (ironically a retail FX/forex company) and Java FX was one of the last ones standing. They all seem to have fallen out popular fashion to web frameworks/Electron, native, and egads React Native. Good to see these resources all in one place.
At least in the UK many (most?) scams operate via a robocall claiming you owe taxes/a bill/etc and you need to bank transfer the money to a local UK account of a money mule.

The money mules are either knowingly doing it or recruited on social media/etc thinking it’s a job and they’re running payroll by receiving and forwarding money.

Law enforcement should be proactively attacking this supply chain by posing as willing money mules - not only they’d potentially be able to unravel the whole network but at the very least act as an effective DDoS on the practice and making that method unprofitable for the scammers.
My day to day shopping list is literally the leftmost foot or so of my desk—which is large enough to accommodate the extra space, and that space positioned right by the door leading outside.

I put anything needing resupply, empty or approaching empty depending on the item, right there on that part of my desk. Unless I’m rushed or preoccupied, checking that space before I leave for the store is usually pretty effective for my defective executive function.

Remembering to clean up the queue afterward is a bit more challenging. But that’s just a mild inconvenience compared to prior years of consistently failing to stock essential items on a routine basis.
Was mine broken? One of my prompts was just '>'. So of course I guessed a random word. The answer key showed I got it wrong, but showed the right answer inserted into a longer prompt. Or is that how it's supposed to work?

So far https://studentaid.gov/ is the worst I've come across (I don't want to enter fake info^ and I can't duplicate my account to double check the requirements). From memory it was something like:

1) No words!
2) Can't reuse last 24 passwords
3) Excludes some special characters
4) 5 Security questions
5-10) Several other password requirements

Are the security questions case sensitive? Who knows.

How can that be so? The article says this:

> In Brazil, the 11 justices and the attorneys who work for them issued 505,000 rulings over the past five years.

Can that really be right? That's an average of 276 rulings per day, or one ruling every five minutes around the clock 24/7/365 for five years straight.

If that claim is true then it's clear that the Brazilian Supreme Court is not like supreme courts anywhere else in the world. It must be normally issuing rulings written by people who aren't the justices themselves. And, it must be a truly massive organization to create so many rulings on so many topics. Seeing as it appears to answer to nobody, nor follow any normal judicial procedure (being both accuser and judge in one body), it would seem fair to describe that as a parallel government acting as a dictatorship. How else could you describe it? What checks on their power do they recognize?
Decentralized and Verifiable Cloud Service on Ethereum
netdata on all our boxes. It’s incredible. Provides automagic statsd capture, redis, identifies systemd services, and all the usual stuff like network performance, memory, cpu, etc. recently they introduced log capture which is also great, broken down by systemd service too.
Banks earn revenue from interchange fees on debit and credit card transactions.

Consumers don’t have any incentive to leave behind their current rewards programs.

Merchants want to accept any payments they can and/or don't have leverage to fight the fees that partially fund networks using rewards to compete for customers.

Perhaps something will arise from FedNow like efforts but as consumers don't see the inflated prices from those rewards programs I don't see any incentives to change.
This is somewhat addressed in the article, although only a single data point.

> In 2018, a freedom of information request from the GMB union found that a Tesco warehouse in Rugeley, near Birmingham, recorded only eight ambulance callouts in three years versus the 115 logged at a nearby Amazon site. Both warehouses employed large numbers of workers at the time – 1,300 at Tesco’s site and around 1,800 at Amazon’s.
We had an asshole neighbor fly a quite large drone over my wife working in her garden and she was terrified. It was shockingly loud. I had a very strong desire to reach for the 20 gauge. Apparently that asshole behavior is legal!

I hear about things like this delivery program and yes I just die laughing that it could be considered a good idea.

Drone noise destroys the wilderness concept too.

Ask HN: What terminal recording tools lets you edit/run recordings?
I have used asciinema(https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema) for terminal recordings. Recently, I've been using Savvy(https://github.com/getsavvyinc/savvy-cli) for recording my terminal activity and saving it as executable runbooks, which has been helpful, since I can edit it. Though the output format for both are useful for different things. Asciinema is more useful for demonstrations whereas Savvy is more useful for documentation/reuse.

What are some other terminal recording tools out there? Do they allow editing the recordings ?
I can’t help but think they’re doing this in the wrong places. I get that areas dense with consumers might seem like the ideal market to deploy in, but the marginal utility over a van plus the noise issue makes it less attractive.

Where I earnestly think this could shine is in rural areas, particularly those where tortured terrain makes the roads a pain in the ass. Parts of Appalachia and the northwest spring to mind in the U.S.

Where I live in Portugal, my nearest city is 12km as the crow flies - or 55km by road. I literally cannot get mail delivered where I live, and have to drive 20km (6km as the crow flies) to the village post office to collect it, and I’m not alone in that.

Air seems like a no-brainier here, and I’d wager there would be induced demand and few people to bother.
> Looks like militarism and imperialism are not compatible at that crazy new 21th century world

Your faux confusion isn't really impressing anyone. Is the US, the most militarist and imperialist nation in the world by far at the moment, "compatible" with the "crazy new 21st century world"?

I've also yet to see any practical examples of Chinese militarism or imperialism. I keep hearing that it's going to start happening any day now, but then it never does. What I do see is the hegemon (the US) trying to take down a rising superpower via economic warfare, and by creating instability in the region - a typical behavior of a militarist and imperialist nation.
They are propagating propaganda pieces in the very comment that you’re asking about their ignorance of these topics.

It isn’t that they don’t understand how disinformation and propaganda is powerful and problematic. It is that they actively want to push said propaganda and it is difficult to do so when you have pesky things like technology that can automatically fact check you.
They only know more because people are careless, providing them all the data.
That is out of the scope. If you are careless, bad things can happen.

As for censorship, thet already can do it easy. Block domain for example of site when you publish you. Just try it yourself, setup up VPS w/ web that is very out of align with your gov. :)
Yeah, Europe is ahead on this; I hedged my earlier statements heavily.

It's not a difficult technological problem to solve. A card's chip should be able to guarantee that the card is physically present for any transaction.

Obviously online payments would pose a problem, people would need to either own USB card chip readers or banks would need to do something new and special.
It's a neat idea, though not what I expected from the title talking about "smart" :)

You might want to replace the single page format with showing just one question at a time, and giving instant feedback on after each answer.

First, it'd be more engaging. Even the small version of the quiz is a bit long for something where you don't know what the payoff will be. Second, you'd get to see the correct answer while still having the context on why you replied the way you did.
> Both problems can be worked around by having a third, general-purpose host where both source/destination hosts can scp to/from.

Yup it's what I do, that 3rd computer having a fixed IP. Conveniently that computer can also keep a copy of the file(s).

Linux/BSDs/OS X (which is kinda a Unx too) all come stock with scp* and I don't really use Windows, so I'm a happy camper.
First things baliffs typically seize are bank accounts, way less fuss with them than with physical assets. You typically only seize physical assets from broke people, or from companies that went bankrupt.

That depends entirely on the capture device.
> When I find that the only tube of toothpaste left is that special, sentinel toothpaste, then I know it is time to buy more toothpaste. And then I have ample time to do so.

I might suggest phrasing this a little differently. Obviously, when you find that any tube is the only tube left, you know it’s time to buy more toothpaste. The problem is that you realize this early in the morning or right before bed, and so you’re likely to forget. The advantage of the “sentinel toothpaste” is that it continues to remind you after that moment, so that you’ll actually remember when you have time to do something about it.

And I think that captures the key thing about a sentinel value: it captures state in a place where you’re already storing state, without requiring you to wrap the state in some external structure, e.g. putting a sticky note on your mirror or storing a string’s length in a separate field.
That isn't how it's supposed to work. I mean sometimes you get a supper annoying prompt like ">", but if you guess the right answer it should give you the point. I just checked the two prompts like that, and they seem to work for me.

I like the website, but it could be a bit more explicit about the point it's trying to make. Given that a lot of people tend to think of LLM as somehow a thinking entity rather than a statistical model for guessing the most likely next word, most will probably look at these questions and think the website is broken.

I think the issue here is who is paying the fee and where is the fee surfaced. A free market solution would work here, but it requires some regulating to create the transparency required.

Everyone pays their own credit card fee as a line item on the receipt, merchants are required to print it on the receipt. If customers actually had to pay their own fee's on each swipe you'd see a lot less people reaching for the Platinum card and instead for the no frills local bank credit card. You'd also see immense downward market pressure on swipe fees as now card issuers have to compete against each other.

The article mentions an Amazon policy to always call an ambulance when they find a medical issue. Seems to me the journalist should have told us more about this policy, as well as whether or not a similar policy exists at Tesco. This isn't enough for me to conclude this is just more biased opinion masquerading as journalism from socialists at The Guardian about one of the left's favorite capitalist whipping boys, but sounds like it would make sense to take a deeper look.
I would argue on the "navigation system" being better in gmaps, though. It used to be the navigation. Nowadays in many places it just shows bullshit. Two scooter ubereats drivers will go through a park, or a tractor through a literal field, and it will guide you through there like it's route 66. Not to mention google changes my route multiple times in a 3 hour drive, even without notifying me - I just avoid it at all cost, as it requires too much attention while driving.

So many places have better OSM-based coverage nowadays.

If you want to make OSM data better (like that business hours you mentioned) I find Street Complete [0] app fun and absolutely friction less way to do that.

You're right, yes, I should have gathered that from both the name and the use of that maxim, which is clearly singular.

That's not right, it's talking about morality.

> it covers all edge cases but it won't work because they can't build that many Porsches

I'm not sure what you mean here.

I don't see a serious refutation of my main point. Every moral decision is unique in at least some detail, and trying to cover all edge-cases in a rules-based morality is a losing battle.

From a quick look at Wikipedia [0] it seems Kant's categorical imperative falls at the first hurdle - he asserted that lying, or deception of any kind, would be forbidden under any interpretation and in any circumstance. Absurd.

What he's saying is that you (konschubert) involved VISA in the transaction. And since VISA is a paid service, you were charged.

As for why you involved them, that is the actual issue at hand, because it's a choice, not something that was forced upon you. But the choice isn't the first one that comes to mind; the choice was between protecting consumers or protecting corporations. And in the US, corporations are better protected than consumers. To level that protection, you (a consumer) have to involve someone else (a corporation) to gain any practical protection.

If that method of protection wasn't needed, you'd be paying using a cheaper (or free) method where you'd be protected differently (i.e. not based on the money going from A to B, but based on the fact that you are a consumer and should thus be protected).

You could also go back to the first choice that might come to mind: protection. If you are not in a society that protects consumers directly, but you also don't want to pay a corporate provider for that protection, you could opt to forgo that protection.
