It's good to know that exists, but having to rename a folder on the desktop to a magic incantation with a GUID in it is not an acceptable replacement for the previous control panel.
One thing I'm a little surprised not to see in the article is any discussion of distracted driving. While I think in the EU cars are slightly smaller on average, there are still plenty of larger vehicles on the road but relatively fewer deaths. The only thesis I have as to the potential disconnect is that in the EU there are far more stick shift operated vehicles which demand more attention and limbs to operate as compared to American vehicles which skew heavily automatic, making it much easier to doomscroll twitter or try to respond to a text.

The same action can be illegal in multiple ways and across multiple jurisdictions. Murder is a federal crime, for example.
Yes, also because (at least where I live in NYC) cops are flagrant violators of both traffic and parking laws. Follow a random cop car for a few minutes and you will undoubtedly see them run a red light. Walk to ANY precinct in the city and you will see the cops' personal cars parked all over the surrounding sidewalks. Reporting these issues, no surprise, accomplishes nothing--the cops simply close the ticket with the notice, "no action necessary".
Now lawmakers in Congress are expected to introduce a bill on Friday that would require federal standards for hood height and visibility to protect pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

I don't think that hood height and visibility are worse with EVs. EVs are heavier than comparable ICE vehicles because they contain dense batteries but they're not larger.

Is there a reasonable networking library for just throwing data packets somewhere using WebRTC in browser, specifically with a client-server rather than P2P? I've probably started work on such a thing like 4 times now but I've never gotten very far because I always found that whole stack incredibly convoluted and onerous to work with if you're not using it for it's intended usecase, but I really would like to have a go-to library to make little multiplayer webgames that use UDP under the hood.

It also requires manual JSON for many things, which are also not searchable, nor assistive-tool friendly because it relies on individually navigating through a tree of autocomplete rather than viewing them all on a single page...

> tldr; your statement overlooks the reality of businesses with high ethical and financial obligations, like Google, Amazon, and Azure.

- These companies underpin much of the internet's infrastructure.

- Their security practices are far more advanced than typical businesses, with SSH being a heavily restricted last resort. That's not to imply that everyone else shouldn't strive to do meet that (modern) bar too.

- Dedicated teams focus on minimizing access through time-based, role-based, and purpose-based controls.

- They actively develop new security methodologies, often closed-source, but with public evidence of their impact (e.g., https://cloud.google.com/docs/security/production-services-p... ).

- They rarely experience conventional hacks due to reduced blast radius from attacks and insider threats.

- Leading security experts in both major tech companies and niche organizations are driving new strategies and ways to think about security... their focus includes access reduction, resilience, and reliability, regardless of whether the solutions are closed or commercial for them. The ideas spread. (looking at you, Snapchat, for some odd reason)

- This is key: This evolution may not be obvious unless you actively engage with those at the forefront. I think it's what makes people think like the comment above. We cannot see everything.

- It's crucial to recognize that security is a dynamic field... with both open-source and closed-source solutions contributing.

So, the notion that volunteer-led projects are inherently more secure overlooks the significant investments in security made by major corporations that host the internet, and their relative success in doing so. Their advacements are coming to the rest of the world (eventually).
A counter point on premium VR headsets. They are teleportation devices.

I've used every popular VR device, but one Vision Pro experience stood out - 'The Haleakala environment'[1]

It was literally like being transported there. I know because I had been in that exact spot a few years before. I have a rich visual memory which served as reference, and no exaggeration, it felt like was there. I was immediately in tears. It was profound.

The Vision pro's lack of a killer app because development is unintuitive, userbase is small, the UX is alien and the hardware costs of constructing these experience is still rather high. Give it a few years. The hardware is already there. This isn't a solution in search of a problem. This is PalmOS, a solution that is too early to the market.

I have family with disabilities. Being able to teleport my loved ones to places they could never go themselves is worth the $3000. If I could record my most profound memories with 'VR recorder', I would. My parent missed my graduation because of being continents away. You think they wouldn't want to be teleported to it ? Wedding photographers cost $4000+, so we can relive those memories through shoddy snapshots. Why not be teleported back to the most beautiful day ?

Don't knock it till you try it.

I don’t disagree but not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

Problems with regulation are the expected consequence of living in the real world and not a model. They should be fixed and we can do better.

I just don’t see how any of this leads us to more regulation. More government control means less efficiency and likely MORE corruption.
Depends. For my hobby project that hasn't been monetized, being charged $100k is way worse than it going down.

If it were critical infrastructure, or monetized in a way that brought in revenue to cover the charge, then maybe I don't want it to shut down despite skyrocketing costs, but that's hardly the only situation you could be in.

The Chase Sapphire card was rated as the best travel card. I had no idea that I had been flagged personally at the time I applied.

I can't remember why I chose them for a business account. At the time I was working under the assumption that this was a "lightning strike" type of event which could have happened with any bank. I'm more inclined to believe it's Chase-specific now, or at least more likely with Chase, esp. based on other anecdotes in this thread! I was also inclined to believe that most large banks are terrible. For example, I have experienced extremely poor customer service with B of A, and Wells Fargo is a very sleazy company. However, my experience with Chase is by far the worst I've personally experienced.

I'm a very happy customer of Mercury Bank for my current business, FWIW.
Having flashbacks to the time where we had paid for a server and were paying for rack space for a customer and they were refusing to pay their bill. Our lawyers told us in no uncertain terms that turning off the server would be a terrible idea. “Obstruction of service” is the term that comes to mind.
> I cannot understand why any shareholder would vote for this devaluation of an asset.

This is why we have a kind government, whose most eminent and enlightened courts of justice would step in and save people from their own bad decisions. After all, even the TSLA shareholders are still human beings and should enjoy the protection of the law, just like any other more valuable citizens would.
I heard that pianos have stretched harmonic series due to string tension/weight/something, so piano tuners actually have to tune upper notes higher and lower notes lower, while ensuring various harmonics interact well. There's quite a bit of art to it rather than pure numeric ratios (which may or may not be possible to encapsulate in ML).
Do you have any more specific examples where it has caused a problem not having int type specifically?

I can't really remember having a problem with it myself, but maybe your usecases are different.
So nice to be considered. Glad that our children will be considered minority stakeholders in this.
Google (rightly) catches a lot of grief for having multiple overlapping products (e.g. Chat), but Microsoft should be equally shamed for having such a hodge-podge of overlapping configuration interfaces in their own OS. In Windows 11, there's really no telling if the setting your're looking for will be in one of the newer/flat interfaces or a classic Windows GUI window.
While weight is bad, as far as pedestrian killing goes, height is even worse. A car hitting you in the knees is very different than one hitting you in the liver, in the spine, or straight on the ribcage. The pedestrian can also end up going under, instead of flipped over, and there's a big difference in damage.

The issue is that even EVs are being built taller, as we have a race to see over traffic.

One thing I'm really curious about is why caps are so hard? (Perhaps this would result in a more technical blog post?)

IE, you clearly don't want to terminate or shut down an account if they get too close to a cap. But what about things like a warning email, service slowdown, ect?

Likewise, the old "slashdotted" or "hug of death" might be an appropriate result when something goes beyond a reasonable safety buffer?

Anyway, just curious. It's clear that it's a complicated topic, and the real constraints and challenges are interesting.

Sometimes, just for fun, I entertain the thought that speed limits in cities could be based on a vehicle's impulse.
They’re guaranteed to be permanently online as much as such a thing can be for $20/month or whatever. They don’t shut it down if you’re not using it, if that’s what you’re asking but they do occasionally come down for upgrades/migrations/incidents/etc. I’d ballpark most providers in the 99% uptime range.

Some provide root, some don’t. Last I checked, you’ll pay more for root because most of the servers are physical so you have to rent a whole server basically.

The servers are typically IO bound on the NIC so they aren’t super picky about what you do with CPU and memory. They won’t let you run a crypto miner or do heavily parallel transcoding, but if you want to chuck a Python+SQLite web app on there I doubt they’d care.

> steam tunnels, roofs, and penthouses explored,

Most of those should be explicitly open anyway. If a steam tunnel isn't safe for a few students to be in maintenance should need extra training to enter it as well. Roofs are too valuable spaces to make off limits (this is a rant should apply to all flat-top buildings). A penthouse might be a private space if so stay out, but many of them serve public functions at a university and should be open.

Ask HN: Imagine a world with 1Tb/s internet. What would change?
For the past ~10 years, it seems like internet speeds here in the US have stagnated. Probably 80% of places I've been to or lived have been 100Mbps-500Mbps.

I'm curious what things would look like if the internet was suddenly 1000x faster.

Would there be new apps we could build? Would it enable novel use cases?
Ah sorry, in OPs comment he says "heavy-duty" which I took to mean as part of the descriptor for what would trigger a fine (as in weight) but on second reading I think he means that the fine itself should be large and is not discussing anything related to the weight of the vehicle.

This doesn't make any sense. The problems a business faces are:

- Receive money from customers. If the customers don't have Bitcoin, they're not going to pay you in Bitcoin.

- Pay your employees and suppliers. Very few of them will accept Bitcoin.

- Borrow money to cover differences between revenue and expenses. The entity loaning you the money may or may loan you Bitcoin, but what difference does it make? They're going to give you the same scrutiny and terms as any other lender in any currency.

- Security for your enormous wads of liquid assets. Banks have vaults and FDIC insurance. Bitcoin has nothing on its own, and if you use an exchange, they can do exactly what a bank does and freeze your funds, or in many cases, just steal it and spend it themselves.

You say later you just mean "well, you can withdraw some of your country's legal tender from the bank and store it as Bitcoin in case you need it later." You can just diversify the same way everyone else suggests by using multiple banks. If you trust zero banks, you can withdraw cash and stuff it under your mattress. You can loan it to a local drug lord. You can buy gold. You can buy forex and put it in a foreign bank. I guess some of these options are less liquid than others, but what advantage are you really claiming keeping your rainy day fund as Bitcoin has over anything else? Generally speaking, businesses tend to stick with things like commercial paper and treasuries and that has seemingly worked out fine.

I wish we had real verifiable base rates on the probability that a business will go under because it's cash and near cash equivalents line item was seized by authorities even though they legitimately did nothing wrong versus a business will go under because it decided to keep all of its funds in cryptocurrency and it either tanked overnight, they lost the key, SBF took their money because he felt like it, or whatever other reasons might happen.

Would you seriously bet the former is more likely than the latter?
Basically, could I say something like, QFT is about fields, but what are the fields, are they in something, are they self instantiated, what makes the fields?

> Over the past three decades, the average U.S. passenger vehicle has gotten about 10 inches longer, 8 inches taller and 1,000 pounds heavier, according to IIHS.

As a New Yorker I'm not often in a car, but whenever I'm stuck in traffic I think about this. If all the cars are 10 inches longer, that adds up over the course of all the cars I'm stuck behind and has a real impact on the carrying capacity of the road.

To another point of the article, I walked by an SUV the other day where the front hood was up to my shoulders. I'm pretty regular height at 6' and just thought how getting hit by that thing would probably kill me. It's like all the cars on the road are in an arms race with each other.

the client COULD use something like https://www.ipify.org/ to get the IP, which can then be used as an additional client argument.

But if an adversary uses the SAME network, then the IP address that the server sees will be the same for the client and the adversary, so it only matters if the adversary takes the packet and sends it from a different network, which the adversary won't have to do, because they still control the network where the packet was originally sent from.

We talk about warnings in the post. We'll do that at some point. The hard part about caps is what to do when someone hits them.

If there was a way to make caps work for our core customers, we'd do it. We're open to ideas. A theme of our work this past month and these next several months is extracting maximal value from ANFWWAONW, our new billing system. The thing you have to remember though is that our belief about our core customer is that they are averse to nothing more fiercely than service disruption.

We're not in principle opposed to caps. We just don't have a product story for them that we're comfortable with. Keeping you from spending more money than you wanted to is an explicit product goal of ours (again: see post); we're just very wary of trading availability off against that goal.

This would work in this specific case where we know that there is a maximum rate at which work is produced. Arguably I was hijacking the thread to discuss a more general problem that I've been thinking about for a while. I have the sense that a ring-buffer that has a wait-free push with low bound on consumer side latency that doesn't require fixed interval polling would be a nice primitive that I certainly could have used at times.

And in fact ... the wait-free wakeup part of this is already there. Now that io_uring has futex support, a producer can enable kernel-side busy polling on the uring, and then submit a FUTEX_WAKE to the ring without doing any sys calls. This Github issue [1] has a nice description.
