Not that all risk can be eliminated, but this simplifies management while reducing the attack surface area by orders of magnitude.

The good news is companies are increasingly doing it now that technology has finally caught up - now that implementing a private* network with each vendor (or a private extranet across all vendors) is actually viable and sensible.

* Usually a software-only, zero implicit trust overlay network

I know a couple that lived off grid and made it work for a long while. They only had to give it up in their early 80's after several decades on location. Not a bad way to be. The thing that did them in was failing health and they needed to be closer to medical centers.

Sorry to be negative, but I guess the lack of maintenance explains why the undo/redo is so atrocious, both in speed and in correctness.

Lots of these have popped up in the past year. I have a simple question from all of them.

Can this do authentication naively? Meaning, there is some simple code needed to ensure that every logged in user sees exactly the stuff they should, and non-logged in users see nothing.
when you say "our in-memory engine", are you talking about dataframe or the lazyframe?
"Due to an account problem your mobile ID cannot be used at this time."

Three of the main reasons were wide screens, mobile devices, and HiDPI. When a layout only needs to work at 640x480 on a 96dpi monitor where you're guaranteed to have a cursor and keyboard a "magazine" layout can work fine.

When a non-trivial number of users have widescreen displays a layout designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio ends up either crowded on one side of the screen or floating in the center with large margins on either side. A layout filling a 16:9 aspect screen will end up being different than the 4:3 layout. This feeds into mobile as well, your 4:3 or 16:9 landscape layout for desktops either looks terrible or is broken on a mobile device in a portrait layout. The graphics that look good at 96dpi start to look shitty on HiDPI screens.

It's entirely possible to make responsive layouts that handle all those cases. CSS and HTML have lots of options for responsive layouts. The main limitation is time/money. It's a lot of work to build a "magazine" layout that is responsive and displays properly on all devices. It's possible just difficult. It's much easier to make a layout that looks equally bland and lifeless across all devices.

We already are able to travel without any “passport cards”, with the IDs we already have. And with pervasive facial recognition they already know who we are. If I were to guess it’s not just the ID that’s changing, it’s also the backends, which would no longer be per-state. But I’m just hypothesizing here. I’d appreciate if someone knowledgeable chimed in
The application process parent is talking about is Medicaid, not Medicare.

Medicare is pretty ironclad, because the recipients are elderly and vote. Medicaid recipients tend to be marginalized and high need, so they’re used as a punching bag by local governments in states where that’s a good way to score political points.
For the Martins case it seems like there was some actual paperwork issues from the US where he was incorrectly listed as having traveled; hard (for me) to tell whether that was stupidity or malice though.

I think it depends on the how advanced the class is. An excellent teacher with mediocre subject matter expertise will outperform a subject matter expert with mediocre teaching skills in all but pretty advanced courses.

Also, my experience is that most experts aren't mediocre teachers, they're terrible teachers.
Haskell is so alien that coming from javascript/ruby will feel like knowing almost nothing.

It's rigid and forces you into a way of thinking about problems with the single/strict paradigm approach. Very difficult to program in, but I feel like learning it teaches you a lot about the way you program in other languages.

It boils down to the question: is your code provably robust? You learn very often, its not.
well importantly, Elastic was originally Apache-2.0. Then Amazon started using their stuff and they relicensed to their not-really-FOSS-license. Then Amazon forked their stuff, a bunch of legal conflicts happened. Now they are friends again. And now they relicensed to AGPL (which is FOSS).

So they were originally Apache-2.0 which was permissive versus now they are AGPL which is copyleft.

The important distinction here is that if Amazon was to use Elastic directly, they'd have to make their contributions available to users and those users could then upstream those contributions back to Elastic. In the old situation with Apache-2.0, Amazon could take contributions from Elastic but then they kept them themself for the most part without up-streaming.

This forces a give-and-take relationship vs a one-way relationship.

Also importantly now that Elastic is AGPL they can integrate anything they want from OpenSearch's Apache-2.0 licensed projects but unless OpenSearch becomes AGPL as well, they can't pull any contributions from Elastic.

Sorry I got confused by another commenter here who linked to the complaint in Wilson v. Google, No. 24-cv-03176 (N.D. Cal.), filed in May 2024. But now I see that case is not even about incognito mode.
Only because they were using public airwaves.

In California I can just file a request on your license plate number for your public information. You will only be notified that I requested it. They will protect your residence address and phone number. Your ID has both a residence address and mailing address associated with it. If these are the same you don't actually get protected there.

This may have changed somewhat since I'm not in a position which requires me to do this anymore but this was the standard for years.

Which is why I always _highly_ recommend Californian's to get a private mail box or post office box and use that as your mailing address. Then your residence information is private and only law enforcement can see it.

I never meant to be dismissive, in fact my current job is to build a runtime for ML accelerator! I rather wanted to show that unminification is much easier than unobfuscation, and that the SOTA model is yet to do the latter.

Also, it should be noted that the name reconstruction is not a new problem and was already partly solved multiple times before the LLM era. LLM is great in that it can do this without massive retraining, but the reconstruction depends much on the local context (which was how earlier solutions approached the problem), so it doesn't really show its reasoning capability.
Apple's approach with Wallet is to allow the transmission of (selective) ID data without fully unlocking your phone. I believe it's the same as when you tap to pay using a credit card in your wallet. You must provide passcode/biometrics when requested, but that does not unlock your device.
Developers willingly choose to donate their work under an OSS license. So yes there are costs and thankfully people release without the expectation.

It’s perfectly fine to sell your software. There’s trillions of dollars worth of companies that do that.

But I make sure I eat through other methods so I’m able to donate my time.

If Elastic doesn’t want Amazon to use their software, then they shouldn’t release it as OSS. It’s quite simple.

But it’s ridiculous, I think, to claim Amazon is doing anything wrong by abiding by the license.

Elastic shouldn’t feel that Amazon is eating their pie because they chose to put their pie out with a “free pie for everyone” under ASL. If they feel bad, that may be so, but their feelings aren’t as important as what their intellect should set up.
I think you're trying to use DuckDB incorrectly. If you have a writer connection open to the DB, you can't open reader connections as well (including from IntelliJ). You'll get file lock errors, as you noticed. You can either have a single writer connection at once, or multiple reader connections at once. DuckDB is significantly better than SQLite for analytical queries on big data sets, but it's not a replacement for a transactional database such as SQLite.

And newspapers decide every single word they publish, because they’re liable for it. If a newspaper defames someone they can be sued.

This whole case comes down to having your cake and eating it too. Newspapers don’t have that. They have free speech protections but they aren’t absolved of liability for what they publish. They aren’t protected under section 230.

If the ruling is upheld by SCOTUS, Google will have to choose: section 230 (and no editorial control) or first amendment plus liability for everything they publish on SERPs.

Ask HN: Can I link to my vlog here on show HN or is that spam?
Hi

I am Jogi, indie hacker making small webapps as I learn svelte kit and I am starting a vlog with monthly progress / journey updates on youtube.

I just had the idea of sharing the vlog here under `Show HN:` when it comes out in a couple of days but I do not want to spam this place if this sort of thing is frowned upon.

I read the rules but am unclear on them which is why I am asking this here, don't wanna ruin my karma lol, is that sort of thing cool to do or not?

Cheers

SB 1047: Safe Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act
Indeed that aspect was something I failed to get initially, but I still stand by my opinion because most of my reconstruction had been local. Local "reasoning" can be often done without the actual reasoning, so while it's great that we can automate the local reasoning, it falls short of the full reasoning necessary to do the general unobfuscation.
I guess the question might be more along the lines of... Does JavaScript watch each checkbox and POST to some URL when the local user toggles one? Does it poll some URL to learn about changes from the server? Maybe web sockets?
Never hurts to read the article first:
"It’s small and unobtrusive, and no matter what you do with it (click any button, close it, etc) it’ll go away until next year.

You can also disable just the popup on System Settings’ Notifications page, accessible from the configure button in the notification’s header."

I know for a fact hotels (or motels) like to scan or copy IDs to be able to effectively bans, because the person working the front desk has no idea who is and isn’t banned, especially if a single hotel company owns or manages multiple hotels.

If Hilton/marriott/IHG/choice/wyndham were not almost all franchised, then I bet they would institute global bans.

I can’t imagine bars are any different.
Ask HN: Best static site generator for non-designer?
I'd like to take a shot at creating my own portfolio page using a static site generator. However, all of my experience is working in languages like Go/Python with little to no experience in frontend design. But, at the same time, I don't mind learning something new!

The problem is I have no design skills and very little motivation to spend an excessive amount of time learning things like CSS. Is there a modern equivalent of pretty Lego blocks that I can use to put together something that might look nice?

Beautifully said. I'm glad to hear that you feel hope for rekindling this feeling. It sounds like you've already figured this out, but I want to highlight that this a symptom of burnout, and that people who resonate with this should take it seriously.

I remember once I was helping someone at work who was learning Python. They were having trouble understanding how binary file types worked. When it clicked for them, they were so delighted.

I realized I hadn't felt that way in years. It wasn't long after that I realized I was too burned out to stay in my position, and needed to take some time to work on my mental health.

Everyone with this fantasy reserves the right to uniquely define 'remote' as they see fit.

For someone it could be defined as minimal human interaction, for others it could be a function of distance from the nearest urban/ suburban center. For most, it would be some combination of these two.

I've backpacked to some very remote places around the world, but it's hard to beat the USA (western half), Canada, Russia (east of Moscow) and Australia (anywhere not on the coast).

Take a look at record battery discharging for CAISO
https://www.gridstatus.io/records/caiso?record=Maximum%20Bat...

Do you notice anything? The records keep falling ever summer. The battery discharge per day went up by 100% in the last year.

I do not see any bending of the curve.
California is the perfect example of building enough batteries can solve the duck curve problem.

But all it takes is the edgelord or one of his followers screenshotting the comment and retweeting it before it’s hidden and this is effectively nullified. Their followers know the username, what’s actually being stopped here? this type of thing does nothing but hide information and empower trolls.

The plus side is that it empowers content creators to control the conversation, which I truly believe is a good thing, however in practice I find it completely abused especially at scale by bad actors. I do truly hope they reverse course on this decision.

> The typical ways that folks - especially folks who don’t program - bump into bots are things like ticket scalping and restaurant reservation bots. Bots that feel selfish and unfair and antisocial.

This reminded me of how a ski resort, Palisades Tahoe, implemented free but scarce parking reservations for weekend parking last winter. Since it's one of the most popular ski destinations from the Bay Area, you can imagine that bots were written. Every time new spots would "drop" (become available for the following weekend) I think on Tuesdays and Fridays or something like that, they'd be gone in seconds. Clearly bots! So naturally I had no choice but to write one. It just alerted me (via Pushover) when cancelations would lead to open slots, it didn't actually reserve spots on its own, but that was good enough to get the job done for me and my crew.

Several Reddit threads had non-bot-writers discussing that bots must be slurping everything up. I felt so antisocial, but really had no choice.
Well as these social networks are increasingly dominating internet use to the level that they end up being the only thing used in the internet by constituent plebeians, it makes sense that they receive as much regulatory oversight as telecom providers do.

I'm really surprised by the other comments saying that they are renters and they interested in this. It seems like a lot of work, cost and space required for very little payoff. 800 watts of panels gives you ~4 kWh a day, which is about $2.50 at current northern california electricity prices. But I suspect you're not going to have a continuous load like a fridge or air conditioner on this because of its small size, so you'll probably actually use less of that energy. What am I missing?
AFAICT, if you don't want to use it then you don't have to - just like you didn't have to use SDL_render in SDL2. That is what was pitched by maintainer Ryan Gordon[0][1] at least.
