My question about all of these data breaches is why do you have this information in the first place? Next is why are you retaining it for an unlimited time period making yourself a target for hackers. This is especially true for a company like this and their claim that no payment information was compromised. So why do you have names and email addresses home addresses and phone numbers for over 1 million people on file. Do you have 1 million cars parked in your lot right now? Has there been 1 million different people in your lots in the past 60 days? 60 days after someone has pulled their car off of your lot you should have no more information about them except the minimum required for billing justification. Which is a transaction number and the service and since we're talking about cars potentially a plate number. That's it.

Governments need to start enacting legislation to have high punitive damages paid out to these companies customers and not the paltry you get a year or two of credit monitoring garbage. Literally like $10,000 in incident to remove the incentive to take and hold this information to resell it. Additionally the legislation needs to dictate that at the time of the service only the minimum information required to provide the service can be required to be collected. Optional information can be collected but it must be marked as optional. Choosing not to provide the optional information you cannot be denied service or charged an increased fee.

Something like parking the minimum is payment information which becomes a payment transaction ID the moment it's processed, something to identify your vehicle you're leaving plate number or VIN number and a ticket stub that you are required to have with you when you come to get your car. Failing to have your ticket stub the other means would be to prove ownership through the title or registration and an ID. That's the minimum if you want other information to make it easy that's fine but that's all that should be asked for and it should be obvious this is the minimum. Then you don't really have anything for hackers to go after.

I realize this is Canada but this kind of nonsense happens in the US too. And I really love how courts have deemed that the right we have to be secure in our persons and papers and effects does not extend to entities we do business with. I'm fairly sure if you asked the drafters of the Constitution if that meant the government can purchase records from private companies that you need to do business with in order to meaningfully participate in the society that we've built they would say that that protection extends there as well. Because we no longer have personal control of the vast majority of the papers and effects in our lives. The idea that you still have a modicum of control as a customer in your business relationship would always have been a thing.

PGP is amazing but Bitcoin is like PGP on steroids.
Export controls on crypto are one thing, and easily avoided by using open source (since there is an exemption for open source). But import controls are much more obnoxious and harder to deal with.
The main contributor is high real estate prices. Much of the value generated by tech companies is eventually captured by property owners. Geography and open space preserves prevent building out anywhere within easy commuting distance. Politics prevents building higher density housing in most neighborhoods.

The secondary contributor is high taxes. The Bay Area, and California in general, isn't the worst for taxes but in terms of total tax burden (income tax, sales tax, excise taxes, mandatory fees) it's near the top. Especially because state income taxes are no longer deductible on federal income tax returns.
It's all very well to shut the China R&D operations, but is the domestic R&D growing by an equivalent amount? Or is IBM's total R&D declining by the amount of that lost China R&D?
look you couldn't pay me any amount of money to work on Wordpress, but not cargo culting PSR like a bunch of others isn't the red flag you make it out to be.

I was dubious when they declared that projects indent method is somehow a barrier to "interoperability".

When they made a logging system based on strings because one existing implementation was written by a guy who apparently doesn't understand syslog levels, I gave up any expectation that they'd produce anything of value.

It's design by committee with the added bullshit of wanting to emulate Java.
I wouldn't rely on Mastodon PMs for privacy. It's just not designed for that. Use Matrix instead.
This is the exact same dilemma that you face in any other job. Working extremely hard and burning yourself out does nothing except cover up the problem that the function you are providing is under-resourced.
IMHO we should go beyond this. In biology and medicine, you need to spend a significant amount of money to catch errors, as you have to reproduce huge costly experiments. I think NIH, Wellcome and other funders should consider creating a reproducibility track where they give away grants to replicate recent key findings.

I think this would speed up research by simultaneously discouraging fraud and also by increasing credibility of legitimate findings. It would also be nice if top journals created a new category of article, Replication Study, for these big efforts to replicate a substantial finding.

For example, the initial CRISPR discovery took ages to get applied to DNA editing because initially nobody believed in that finding. We could be >5 years ahead with the right incentives.
In the biography of Gordon Moore, he mentioned that when he was inventing Intel's process chemistry they just routinely poured all their solvents down the same drain. The strong acids ate away the concrete (which wasn't noticed until long after), so nearly everything they poured down, went into the ground and hit the water table, then spread out. Moore's excuse was that they didn't really teach chemistry safety when he was in school.

It's certainly an article in context. It explicitly mentions the arrest. It's not portraying itself as being "in a vacuum" or independent of it.

Hmmm, thats interesting. Right now it just shows every character press, regardless of what it was to achieve.

You'd be interested in something a bit more organized, so you can see how they got specifically from one target to the next. I do have a ton on the roadmap right now, but that has been added as well!

> In this scenario, we've already posited that I've been destroyed and recreated. So I don't think these are comparable.

Thank you. I do not understand why people cannot distinguish this critical factor.

There are other critical factors that need to be considered in these discussions :
- Can multiple entities exist simultaneously? (maybe not in an example, but under the conditions of a scenario)
- Does destruction occur? How do we define destruction?
- Are we teenagers smoking weed commenting on HN or have we read philosophy, understand the No Cloning Theorem[0], continuity, formal logic[1], and other such things?

> I'm aware of no process by which I would have been destroyed and recreated in my sleep

Again, thank you. I think people forget how proofs work. Maybe because the confusion between "the absence of proof is not proof of absence" and "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"? I know that the Von Neuman's Elephant[2] is well known, but it appears that the reasoning for it is not so much (as well as a common misunderstanding of Occam's Razor). Since it is actually about how experimental or empirical evidence for things is weak and far from proof of such processes (though it is not lack of evidence either).

I actually think the wall clock time that is used here is a more useful metric here. Using as few keystrokes is not necessarily most "efficient" in time if you have to think longer about which ones to press.
I find nothing to disagree with in that claim, but I do think there is a significant housing bubble that is putting tremendous stress on young people (and young families) in particular. I will admit that involves value claims that I cannot and do not intend to convince you of.

edit: i suppose I should say that I consider most of the 2000s a housing bubble, 2000-2008: the main growth, 2008-2014 the crash, 2014-covid the echo bubble, covid is covid, and now a hyper-bubble. so I agree entirely that the 2000s have never been "normal"
Isn't the answer simple? Most cold cases have a very low probability of ever being solved. The rare exceptions make headlines, but I'd rather police dedicate finite resources to the hot cases with a better chance of getting solved. Those are also the ones where solving them actually helps protect public safety. Solving cold cases appeals to a more vague notion of justice, which is fine, but you're not likely to get robbed by the killer from a cold case in 1987.
As a Nix foundation person - If anyone gets a 100 second pitch for Nix, dinners on me and I'm using it in the Nix marketing efforts :D

Agreed on the packaging experience for nix. We've been talking about that for a while also on the Flox side when we're working with folks.

> The law is quite simple (and it's not just in France), if a website can be accessed from France, then the French law applies.

The internet is global. Any website can by default be accessed from any country. Are you proposing that anyone with a website is subject to the laws of every country? Notice that this is impossible to do; the laws of different countries will require mutually exclusive things.

> It's under the same principle that Megaupload was shut down by the US, despite the company was not connected to the US or operating from the US.

You're citing an extremely controversial practice to justify the same. The question is what should be the case and is reasonable, not what some country has managed to get away with through some questionable shenanigans or might makes right.

> At least to show: "we tried our best".

This is just a fig leaf. IP location services are notoriously unreliable and trivially bypassed. Anybody in any location can choose the IP address they make a request from. Also, fragmenting the internet in this way is poison and should be discouraged as a matter of policy. You're effectively asking websites to block foreign countries by default because they don't have the resources to hire a lawyer for every country that exists to see how to comply with their laws.

With the type of work the NSA does, I can't imagine many of the didn't know who Grace Hopper was. I expect they did it out of respect for her, rather than for the benefit of the general public.
It would be hot garbage. Skyrim and basically all games are held together by suspension of disbelief which is reinforced by the player not doing things that they can’t do. If you give the player the agency to do anything they want then that suspension of disbelief disappears. You are now playing a juggling act of having the AI able to converse but limited in its mechanical agency to do the things that it talks about even if it makes 100% sense or 0% sense. Every time that limit is hit, the game feels broken. Every time the game breaks its happy path because the player was, even accidentally, problem solving in a way that broke the plot, the game becomes broken.

Forget AI. Just think about simple things. Like plot critical NPCs. Most games either don’t let you attack them or cause you to lose if you attack them. That’s good. It just makes sense. Yeah it’s great that some RPGs proudly demonstrate that the plot can go forward with every character dead but that’s absolute shit for most plots. The constraints are very helpful.

VimGolf does it this way.
Often others don't behave in the same way we would or even the way we would expect. My suggestion is in the spirit of trying to offer a little help to your fellow teammates with a few extra clicks, in what seems like a very low effort compromise.

I suppose it depends on your team dynamics, size, structure, etc. I work with a small, tight knit team and if I already knew someone was going to act a little neurotic with regards to a low priority weekend email, I would do the extra few clicks to make their life slightly better. In a large corporate setting maybe I would be less sympathetic, who knows.
Thanks for clarifying. Of those you can 1-click deploy Git-based and Docker-based apps except Docker Compose, since containers are deployed to an ECS cluster. Self-hosted databases are out of scope for what we're trying to do. We're focused instead on making it dead simple to integrate with AWS-managed resources (via resource RBAC, network rules).
A couple of maths professors I worked with had very poor spelling, grammar, etc. Good luck with your approach, if you are trying to hire a specialist in an area that is not middle management, HR or marketing. Let alone if you need people do something in the physical world such as building, cleaning or moving things.
Yeah the point is to make it hard but not impossible to do almost all of the things you can do with a smartphone

It’s the habituation that needs to be broken and making it harder to do the habit is a good middle point
> less than 15 minutes ... Rust, and all

Wow, your rust experience is way different from mine (not just FF, I mean invocations of rustc are where time goes to die). I also readily admit that I struggled constantly with trying to get sccache to behave sanely, so I'm open to that being part of the difference, too
Depends on how you will feel if you don't ship it.

Will it remain a thorn in your side, like that idea that actually could have worked, and that you'll finish it later? or will you just be able to move on without second thoughts?

If the former, then ship it now, it'll fail, and you'll get experience in understanding how hard it actually is to reach people.

If the latter, drop it now and move on.

Honestly, no one is going to use this.

- you're in a restaurant, you look at the menu and think "ah I wonder what the internet is thinking about the ragout", I don't buy it for a second, but let's imagine it happens

- then you take your phone out

- then you authenticate

- then you look for that app that you barely use, what's the name again?

- then the app locates the restaurant through GPS, nice.

- then you need a way to tell your phone which dish you're looking at, will you type it? too long. Will you dictate it? in a restaurant? Will you shoot it with your camera, in a dim-light environment?

- then the app connects to other services to compile reviews, this is slow af.

- then you see an ad, cause monetization

- then 80% of the time, the app responds that no review talks about the dish you're looking at.

- and by the time you're there your date is gone. A shame, cause that ragout was pretty good.
There's a bunch of tutorials out there now, but what's the main case you're trying to solve for? Just an easy dev environment?

One might be avoid mass traffic interception due to malicious or corrupt BGP rules, either by accident or on purpose by a nation-state or telco. Another might be avoiding interception by your own ISP for various purposes.
> But then she goes on to predict that the brightest kids will come from rural areas because they have "good schools". No idea where she got that idea from

She is speaking from the perspective of someone leading a team of people that volunteered for the Navy and were then selected to do technical work for her team.

I think that given the years in which she lived, she would have certainly be seeing the side effect effects of the growing divide in opportunity between the urban and rural areas. A smart, hardworking kid in the city or suburbs is going to have a fulfilling job or go off to college at a higher rate than the equivalently talented and hardworking kid from farm country, where joining the military is probably the best chance at advancement that they're going to get.
You’d have to assume China essentially stops building renewable energy and upgrading their grid on the trajectory they are, and all improvements in renewable tech essentially stop. This is excluding the rest of the world. There are plenty of reasons we could screw this up, but assuming renewables won’t tear into fossil electricity generation is a terrible bet.
Well, if growing or breeding bigger oxen were as feasible as building bigger (mower powerful) computers was/is, perhaps people would take a different path?
In other words, perhaps the analogy is flawed?

Privileging USD for tax payments is a big part of why USD has value. There is zero upside to the US to allow payments in anything else.
I've explored both Zed and Cursor recently and have ended up preferring Zed by a fair margin. Unfortunately their documentation is lacking, but the tool has a pretty coherent design so it's not too bad to figure out. This blog post was the most useful resource I could find to understand the tool: https://zed.dev/blog/zed-ai

Honestly what you describe is less likely to run afoul of antitrust law than hiring some firm who has all that data to tell you what salary to offer. At least you are looking at data and competing, not just paying some consultant to tell you and every other company to lower salaries.
A website being able to do this is arguably a browser bug.

If a browser's sandbox can't even protect against accidental resource exhaustion, I'd be very concerned about that as an intentional attack vector.

> For some reason Firefox has had it prefed off since forever

I'm not sure this is correct. I use Firefox, I have the setting off (by default), but even still I get the more secure SameSite=Lax secure by default even with the setting off, according to the sandbox they link to: https://samesite-sandbox.glitch.me/

For me the setting they mention makes no difference to the behaviour whether it is off or on.

EDIT: It seems like it's because of enhanced tracking protection that I get the more secure behaviour. With that off, I get the less secure behaviour.

Unpolluted quality soil is a valuable commodity. Anyone growing food in an area with a history of electronics and semiconductor fabrication would be wise to haul in a few truckloads of soil from an organic farmer and grow all their plants in raised beds.

It's possible to build semiconductor devices without polluting the soil and water table, but it means every factory needs to build at least a small chemical waste processing plant onsite, or (better) design new closed-loop manufacturing processes that minimize or eliminate waste.
