I'm sure it would reduce ransomware attacks by an order of magnitude. These are not simple attacks and the cost to launch them isn't that low. It requires large effort from groups of smart people to penetrate these corporate networks and it's time-consuming for attackers. The opportunity cost for these smart people is high, most of them can get a high paying job. The reason these attacks persist is because it's so lucrative. These's definitely a break even point for attackers. If 80% of ransom payments are stopped the attacks will stop because it will no longer be profitable for attackers.

It's really annoying when tech companies section off user freedom and privacy protections to specific regions. Maybe if there was a ton of countries that had contradictory laws, but these app store decisions for sure could be implemented in the US, but alas... they want to squeeze as much out of us as possible.
Firefox lets you use uBlock Origin on Android. After the EU's recent moves, that will come to iOS eventually.

This is a promising idea! I wonder how you check and ensure the quality of the filtering and digest. Can you share more about the underlying models?
Has there been any movement on "real" browser options (i.e. not just calling the built-in webkit in the backend)? I know there were a boatload of requirements Apple gave to do it and I'm out of the loop after that (was it consider a reasonable set, has anyone been trying to apply anyways, etc).

Ask HN: Have you used Contra? Do you think it will eat Upwork's lunch?
I recently built a Contra page and I've been using it for literally all of my freelancing, and I feel like it is what you would get if you took all of the shitty parts of Upwork, and inverted them into a platform that actually cared about the freelancers. For example, this is my page:

https://contra.com/jdbohrman?utm_campaign=social_sharing&utm_medium=independent_share&utm_source=copy_link

It's commission-free, and the design is built to where I can actually just share it with clients without having to jump through hoops. I think Contra may eat Upworks lunch.

Cass and her team did an excellent job assessing the available evidence and current clinical practice. Anyone who has read the Review with an open mind, and considers the wellbeing of children first and foremost, can see that.

There's a great deal of ideologically-driven pushback to her team's work, mostly from people without expertise in the field. But that can be safely ignored due to not being based upon evidence nor reason.
It’d also be pretty naive, speaking to your seemingly quite narrow experience with the outside world. So, thank goodness you didn’t say it.

IIRC, SCOTUS recently ruled that only an explicit quid pro quo is considered a bribe. So laundering monies thru multiple parties is a-okay and mutual backscratching, such as a gifting someone an RV and then coincidentally getting preferential lucrative judgements, is reciprocal altruism. Or something. Because vibes.

I know, I know. Requiring conspirators to say "this is a bribe" for there to be legal jeopardy is sort of nuts.

That is a good point, but, it would still be really nice if the convention for current just so happened to match the flow of electrons through a wire since it is the common case. At least, I remember that being pretty disorienting for me at times in some electrical engineering classes. Wish I could remember something specific though!

Do appreciate you pointing out some counter examples though, always fun.
The BWT based FM-index is one of my favorite data structures. It's used frequently for DNA mapping, where the 4 letter alphabet can be encoded in two bits and the occurrence function can use clever caching, bit bashing and the pop count function to get nice performance.

Now, I don’t know how representative this book is of Murakami’s novelistic style, but I wonder: Is this low-maintenance, attention-deficit prose part of Murakami’s attraction, especially among the young? Do people enjoy reading him for the same reason they persist in listening to music as blandly familiar as Clapton’s? If Martin Amis is engaged in a “war against cliché”  a phrase in danger of becoming a cliché itself  then Murakami, on the evidence of this book, is a serial appeaser. How much does his thigh hurt? “Like crazy.” How do we know the weather is nice? Because  as he tells us (twice)  there’s “not a cloud in the sky.”

• you have a scheduled furniture delivery to your home, but you forgot. The driver texts you they are nearby. Then again when they arrive. You don’t respond because you forgot and you are not near your phone. Would they not CALL you to please come to the front door and let them into the home?

• emergency call after getting into a car accident, or if trapped in elevator, etc?

• waiting for rideshare pickup in a busy location where there are many vehicles and it’s hard to spot your uber / lyft. Like at an airport or after a concert. The driver may need to CALL to quickly describe where you should meet them.

• Your spouse or parent or child was admitted to the ER at the hospital. Their phone lists you as an emergency contact. You’re suggesting the hospital would use a chat app to contact you?

If your answer is just “wechat”, then that’s fine - but that basically IS the phone app in china (and many other minis apps combined into a super app) lol.

Of course you understand that electric trains exist in the US right?

The Chicago area (where I live) is serviced by electric train lines that go back at least 100 years.

The issue that the US faces is that Americans prefer private travel and that the demographics make that hard to overcome. Our tax policy doesn’t make it easier but frankly there is no economic reason to extend our electric train infrastructure further than it exists.

[edit] that’s without mentioning that the US has the most highly developed rail infrastructure in the world. We choose to put freight on it…

This is great, but I wish there was a shorter and more to the point version for me to link folks to.

> 100% of US freight trains use electric motors

I think you mean diesel-electric. They are talking about electrified miles of track which is almost exclusively limited to passenger lines in the US. Even where freight trains run on electrified track, they still use diesel-electric motors.

Do you know of any resources on such swizzle loaders? I've toyed around with hand-coding x86 SIMD myself, and getting everything horizontally in the right place is always a pain.
Cursor Has Raised $60M
I suspect that what will really make the difference is work-from-home. We know it's not resources -- we are much better off than preceding generations. It may be that without a sense of a home and being in the home, it's hard for people to feel like taking the next step of having children, so they don't.

People who have children today are looking at a deal along these lines:

- Send your kids away early in the morning to be looked after by strangers.

- Go somewhere else to be looked after by strangers yourself.

- After 10 hours (including commuting), come home to talk to your kids.

- Wonder about what's really going on in their lives.

- Do this for 20 or so years for each kid; maybe thirty years in total.

I can see why people who consider this reflectively -- whose parents did this and whose grandparents did this -- might simply opt out.
> Undocumented or unauthorized alien/immigrant is a technical legal term, "illegal alien" is loaded language used for propaganda.

You'd best tell your country that their main legal document contains "loaded language used for propaganda". Title 8 of the US Code contains multiple references to illegal aliens; just as one example, 8 USC § 1366 requires the Attorney General to report annually on how many "illegal aliens" are in US prisons: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1366

A person can also be an "alien terrorist" (8 USC § 1531), a "criminal alien" (8 USC § 1231) and an "illegal entrant" (8 USC § 1182).

Your government is free to stop using these terms and has not done so. It has repealed, replaced, moved sections of Title 8 before, and will keep doing that. The current law is defined using the term "illegal alien" in several places.

Also, the Democrats attempted to introduce a bill to change government terminology, that bill did not go forward: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/3776 - as they are currently in control of the executive, they can use whatever terminology they like, but they also can't bind their opponent's terminology should they get back into power.

Same as a typical airport, everything into bins, send them through the x-ray machine, and walk through a metal detector. Leaving Paris, I had to go through French passport control (a person) and then through the UK passport control (a kiosk, same as Heathrow). The passport bit I get has everything to do with border control. I figured the x-ray scan and metal detector was universal. I've seen reviews that seemed to suggest that. I have no personal experience, though, with Eurostar staying within the Schengen Area.
I support pro-level access, but I hope there's a very, very meaningful boundary between amateur and pro users so that my parents don't brick their device. There's something quite nice about the Chromebook that satisfies both casual family members and programmers.
The "women can have career progression or kids but rarely both" problem is not just a problem in Japan. It is probably unavoidable if all real work is done in offices or factories.

Here’s the lead: taxation. Imagine that. People avoid pain more than gain pleasure, and people are sensitive to their wallets.

First, I never liked Gnome, I remember trying it few times years ago, and quickly returning back to fvwm2 every time. On the other hand, I never understood why window managers put icons on the window title bars, and in my own fvwm2 config, the max and min icons were the first thing I removed. I mostly used keyboard to toggle between maximized and unmaximized state of a window, and if I really needed a mouse for it, I would double click the title bar with the same effect (I also used keyboard to toggle vertical only and horizontal only maximization). With practically unlimited number of virtual desktops, I never needed to minimize a window, and I usually had too many windows open for a taskbar to be useful, instead I had a popup menu for finding windows (both just this desktop and all desktops). Now, after switching to i3, my windows still have no icons on title bars, and I use rofi to find windows, so still no taskbar.

Huawei's HongMeng(Harmony) kernel appears to be EAL6 certified [pdf]
My stance is similar: I insist that any computer I use to run my main OS uses the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) method of booting. This effectively eliminates UEFI's role completely after control is handed to the bootloader, using the pre-UEFI boot method of locating the first sector of the boot device and executing that.

As a user, I see very little benefit to using UEFI.
In simple agricultural societies, primitive hunter-gatherer societies, feudal societies, &c, both parents generally work (or worked). It's just that they both worked in or near the home. Having a single-working-parent household has probably never been sustainable for any length of time, in any kind of society.

Women generally contribute considerably to factors in the economy, whether it's stuff like nets and rush mats or ballpoint pens and machine-sewn shirts. What is different about industrial society is that parents can do basically no meaningful work around their children, and so they can't be available for their children, because not working is not an option.
Jailbreak Prompts for All Major AI Models
It was horrible by ibanker standards when they came to find they couldn't sell the loans. And then it got worse.
I recently needed something like this (and ended up rolling my own) while using the Dropbox API.

There have a fairly conservative rate limit, so you have to think about every API call you make. When traversing, it makes the most sense to do a recursive "ls" of the entire directory tree, keep it in memory, and perform whatever other actions you want (search, list, etc.) on the cached tree.

The implementation ended up being a pretty simple IDictionary<string, string[]>, but it would be interesting to try switching to something purpose-built.
The one electric Caltrain I rode recently played an ear shattering tone inside the trains when the doors were about to open and close. With any luck and enough complaints, it should be easy enough to dial that back or drop it entirely. I don’t remember the old trains ever playing a noise as loud when the doors open and close.

this is my question too, lol
Can't edit my original comment, but I guess maybe I was wrong. I went through a long security line with x-ray and metal detector, but I was going between Paris and UK. It also had passport controls for leaving France and entering UK, all done at Gare du Nord (nice because at St Pancras we were able to just walk right out without any more hassle).

I had read some reviews saying Eurostar security was airport like on all routes, but maybe I was just reading some other schmuck's experience on an international route like mine :-). Hopefully anyone reading my comment reads a little farther so they are better informed.

And so, I amend my previous comment. I'd be satisfied with an LNER equivalent, but if I can get Eurostar speeds at LNER convenience, I definitely want that!

I wonder how much the UK paid for the LNER lines, e.g. from King's Cross up to Waverley Station in Edinburgh. Not that it has any bearing on US costs, but I'm curious. Here everything is just stupidly expensive to build, and pretty much any stakeholder can derail the whole thing, even the tiny ones. I'm not a big fan of using eminent domain but there are times when it is the sensible choice.

I don't think the available data actually shows that. In a wide array of simple societies -- whether the people's primary mode of production is agriculture, hunting, gathering nuts or shaking trees for breadfruit -- it turns out most people are not break even on calorie production until they are about 20! Children probably didn't ever -- or didn't often -- make anyone richer.

It was more of an opportunity initially. Bezos saw a chance to purchase extremely discounted systems. He had the foresight to move redundancy from a single host to clusters and then eventually data center level redundancy. This decision reshaped how services were implemented and scaled. Specialized devices returned because they offer a better value or in some cases enabled products that were never possible before. At the end of the day a lot of decisions are based around cost. Can you do it with a toaster or an oven cheaper? Can we cut all of our food into pieces and cook it in a Beowulf cluster of toasters? I think you get the idea.

> It grows with the size of the economy.

Your own words demonstrate the zero sum nature. During COVID YouTube had a huge spike in viewers as people stayed at home, but rates absolutely tanked because the value is defined between advertising budgets and available distribution not some inherent property of a viewer seeing an advertisement.

This is just like how gas in aggregate grows with the economy/oil prices not the efficiency of gas stations. It’s these external factors which make them zero sum.

> So what you mean to say is that targeted advertising is the same as mass advertising, that there's no benefit, perceived or otherwise, of targeting users.

No, I am saying tracking users is one of many methods to target users. The value of individual means of advertising varies, but the ability to target users doesn’t disappear when you ban tracking users. What changes is how valuable individual options are not the total value of all methods of advertising combined.

> There's no going back at this point.

Things often seem more stable than they actually are. Banning tracking is a tiny blimp compared to the kinds of changes you see after major Supreme Court decisions let alone major events like revolutions.
