Right so it's a compliance thing.

Rather than just visiting on a tourist visa and relying on the fact that no immigration officer is going to come bust in your hotel door and yell "hey are you doing work on that laptop!", you go through a bunch of tedious bureaucratic hoops to get the assurance that they definitely for certain won't come inspect what you're doing on your laptop.
If YouTube cannot police or moderate their own platform, then that's a problem they created for themselves.

'Sorry, moderating this content is something we cannot manage' is not an acceptable response, they are a trillion dollar company with access to tools which can be run at scale. Scam prevention is a cost center, which is presumably why they don't care, and that attitude needs regulation (as they'll never change on their own).

I think the same can be said for large tech companies.

What happened to the whole "importance of prioritizing safety and ethics in AI development" and "responsible scaling" mission statement? Funny how fast this gets dropped. Where is the government body enforcing accountability?
Libraries are funded by the government. They've been diligently scanning books for decades but nobody has had even the slightest interest in that until their favourite hackerman showed up. Libertarian god complex is so tiresome.
1. Calling a rescue worker a pedophile because the rescue worker saved kids and made Elon look like a useless diva

2. Firing employees at a company he purchased (i.e. people who did literally nothing to him), in as vicious and demeaning way possible

3. Sexually harassing an employee on his airplane

4. Frontrunning a story about sexually harassing said employee by suggesting that it was some political issue, thus making his own sexual misconduct a red vs blue problem in an already deeply polarized society

5. Advancing falsehoods about election security in the US

6. Releasing a product to public roads called "Full Self Driving" which is, in fact, not fully self driving

7. Hiding data required for the public to evaluate the safety of this "Full Self Driving" which is already operating on public roads

8. Was such a hysterical crybaby about rebranding PayPal to X that the board had to fire him from the CEO role while he was on vacation

9. Requesting permission for Bladerunner imagery for his We, Robot event, having that request declined, then stealing said imagery anyway

> I don't see how the importance of planes not hitting each other makes it impossible for us to protect that personal data if we wanted to.

Accountability if something does happen. We can't just randomly assign ID's to do that without finding some way to trace who took what ID (ruining the point). These are private jets so they have no reason to keep record of flights like public airlines.
Since a daily activity once checked presumably never become unchecked, this could be just a big sheet of hexagons you can color in when the activity is done. Yes, you need to print out a new one once a year, but that's pretty trivial cost and time wise compared to the calendar gadget. Granted, the calendar is a cool gadget.
Experience certainly does, and with enough experience comes old age.
Prompting is a skill you can develop with practice and get better at. Also, some tasks just aren’t going to work well for various reasons.

Yes, LLMs can actually help with coding. But it’s not magic. There are limits. And you get better with practice.

So buy a chartered plane company. No one will know which airborne plane in your fleet is yours or if you're even in the air and you get the tax write offs plus the profits from the company.

Do you think Mark felt guilty about Cambridge Analytica? Or feels guilty every time a Meta company is subpoenaed because his intentions were purely for advertising?

If the potential of individuals being stalked as bad as you say, how much stalking do social media companies enable by their existence? A musician was shot dead after the assailants learned of their location from an Instagram picture - do you think Mark shown basic humanity towards the victim since then?
Facebook used to post sites you visited. Not even interacted with by liking, it would show that you have read a certain article. They still collect that information, but they no longer publish it on your feed and rather keep the information to profit off of themselves. It's close enough that I'd say it's the same thing.
Probably the best thing that can happen to the kernel... this type of measure generally backfires spectacularly by giving talent the opportunity to thrive, if anything as a way to fight back against injustice and arbitrary decisions, or for sanctioned opposition to invest in resilience by dumping more money in things otherwise not consider a priority. I always thought Argentine music from the 80's and early 90s was legendary, and this stems from a post-Falklands war, self-inflicted sanction against anglo music... regional bands thrived and created gems that even today can be appreciated as masterpieces...

Luckily DoH doesn't seem to be implemented by devices yet. And I could do MtM, because most devices don't really seem to verify their tls certs.

One day they will do both, but that day is probably far away.

And they are on my network, so if they don't function without their own DNS that's OK by me.
An apology from a serial killer is pretty meaningless if they spend the next twenty years killing people.

Same applies here.
One of the pieces of history I didn’t appreciate at the time, because I was just a kid: Bork was Solicitor General in the Nixon administration. When Nixon ordered that his AG fire the Special Prosecutor investigating Watergate, Nixon’s appointed AG and deputy (very ethically) resigned instead. This left Bork as acting AG, and unlike his superiors, Bork was very happy to fire the Special Prosecutor at his boss’s request. In other words, almost everyone in the Nixon administration had more ethics than Bork.

What was so disgusting and surprising about the Bork nomination is that it was clearly a reward for that behavior, one that persisted across multiple presidential terms. It sent a message that “no matter how damaging your lack of ethics might seem in the short term, there is a reward for loyalty and willingness to short-circuit the criminal process” that would have felt at home in an organized crime family. The stuff we see today is just a further development of the metastasizing cancer that began right there.

I'm with you, it's sadly the nature of the beast. Think about the federal government alone: DoD military ID, veteran's ID, passport, social security card, etc. are all separate organizations with different scopes. It's madness.

Whether you like Facebook or not, what they do at scale (tracking the online metadata of billions of people in order to generate ad revenue) is different in both subtle and obvious ways than following a single individual around in the real world from place to place. These differences are important.

For example, following people around in the real world, aka stalking, is frequently accompanied by threats or acts of physical violence, especially for famous people. Even for normal people, being tracked in the real world frequently leads to theft, burglary, or harrassment. On the other hand, being tracked by social media companies does not commonly result in either of these outcomes. Why? Because our actual physical bodies exist in the real world, making it an arena with much higher stakes.

Imagine if Facebook tracked everyone's physical location, saved it to a log, and then published that log to a public website, while keeping it updated in real time. Do you think people would find that an upsetting addition to what Facebook does now? Would you find that to be an upsetting addition? If so, you must admit there is therefore a difference between doing that and what they do now. If there was no difference, then there would be nothing additional to be upset about.

This is not me defending Facebook's tracking. This is simply me refuting the numerous assertions you've made in this thread that Facebook's tracking is "identical" to real-world stalking combined with publication of that information. It's not.

As much as I like the concept, I got a little concerned over the math, and found this 2022 article [0] which lays out some of the challenges. To boil it down:

> Problem #1: Can the payload survive spin-up? [...] At its full-scale size and with a desired exit speed [...] just before the payload is launched, of somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 gs [...] This represents a peak acceleration that’s eight times what the current prototype experiences.

> Problem #2: Traditional liquid-based rocket fuel cannot be used. [...] if you have a liquid-based fuel on board, you need a plumbing system to contain and control it; this is exactly the type of system that will not survive the spin-up accelerations that SpinLaunch requires.

> Problem #3: Piercing the mylar sheet preserving SpinLaunch’s vacuum could destroy the payload. [...] the launch vehicle will strike the mylar sheet with 25 times the kinetic energy of current tests [...] “hitting a wall” of atmosphere

> Problem #4: The atmospheric drag force experienced by the payload will be tremendous. [...] The payload will be moving at its fastest where the atmosphere is the thickest, which maximizes speed and energy losses due to drag. This will also heat up the payload substantially, and in ways that no payload that’s ever made it to space before has experienced.

> Problem #5: Gun-based ballistic launchers can achieve much greater exit speeds than SpinLaunch.

Would it be a fair comparison? C# didn't have good support for JSON in the standard libraries for almost 20 years[1]. ADO.NET seemed like a failure to me as well, but maybe I just didn't understand it.

The System.Drawing namespace at least as of .NET Framework 4.5 required virtually all of its operations to be done through a System.Drawing.Bitmap, which meant that no matter how your image data was represented, it needed to get rasterized. This wasn't a big deal for most desktop/local use cases, but it's very inefficient, so if you had any servers relying on this, and had a reasonably decent amount of traffic to those servers, you could be getting CPU usages way too high.

As an example, I remember one time we were hosting 30 kb TIFF images (high res, 1 bit per pixel) for download, and generating the thumbnails was done in real time, which caused literally gigabytes in memory churn per request due to the rasterizations... IIRC I fixed it by using emscripten (this was 2015-2016) to do resizing and rendering in the frontend with a small C module using LibTIFF, then the server only needed to send the 30 kb files as is. Unfortunately I've had a hard time finding people to work with these days that give me that kind of room to execute.

Does Go's standard library have these rough edges or is it actually pain-free? I'm on the fence about whether I should learn Go or Rust while I am on a short employment break.

Sure, yes I do wish that we weren't opening such huge holes as we are for aluminum, iron, coal, etc. I worked in the upstream oil industry for a bit and live in an area heavily coal mined, I just wasn't clear how lithium mining compared and didn't want to assume that damage was on the same scale as the others.
Exactly! For $300 and a few hours of time, I could easily find a handful of people willing to feed this kind of narrative to any journalist looking for a hit piece. The fact that most people don't instinctively question the veracity of these claims just shows how staggeringly uncritical and poorly educated we've become as a society. Unless you're bound by specific legal obligations, there's no rule demanding that you tell the truth. Journalists are barely held to any standard of factual reporting because the bar is proving "actual malice".

And before anyone jumps to cry "fraud," let's be clear: fraud is obviously illegal, but the legal definition is specific and detailed.
The argument is that this is public data for safety reasons (so planes don't crash into each other). What others do with that info is about as relevant as any other public data. Which these sites give little care of.

They barely care about harassment/stalking on their own platform that is objectively illegal. So i don't feel sympathy here.

>If he was broadcasting other people’s real time location while protecting his own, then that would make sense.

It's a bit frustrating how many people here don't understand the difference of precision in knowing plane data and car/foot data. What use is "Person is in City" to the point where they make an argument of "risk of physical harm?".
Ah - thanks for the heads up! Been on HN for 14+ yrs and first time I noticed that ;)
This smart contract pretends to be an automated trading bot that exploits market slippage on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap. It promises users easy profits, but in reality, it steals their funds.

The contract's code is intentionally confusing, making it look like it finds new liquidity pools and makes profitable trades. Instead, it generates a hidden address belonging to the scammer. When users interact with the start or withdrawal functions, believing they are trading or withdrawing profits, the contract simply transfers all funds to the scammer's address.

In short, this fake bot claims to make money through DeFi trading but ends up sending users' funds to the scammer's wallet.
As far as I can tell the level of analysis being applied here is "Zuck is bad, therefore tracking his plane is good, therefore banning anyone who tracks his plane is bad."
So what’s one more, for voting? Or better yet, allow a way to quickly issue people state ID cards at DMV voting centers and other similar facilities. That way you get an ID for voting, and for other state identification purposes. Easy-peasy.
It also avoids differentiating on two very different scenarios: coming to Japan without a work visa to work illegally for a local company, and doing work for an employer or client not in Japan while being in Japan.

On paper, all laws are strict. In practice, some of them, and some interpretations of them, are considered a higher priority than others (which can range to straight up ignoring them or even violating them themselves).

The point I'm making is I don't get why they've bothered with such a pointless visa, and it sounds like some PR stunt. If it extended to a year or was a residence permit then it'd be an actual valuable visa worth the effort.

The only thing I can think of is maybe they hoped it'd be used by digital nomads to come work for local companies for 6 months, but that doesn't sound likely. PR gimmick or "we're doing things" purpose more likely.
Outsiders like Donald Trump in 2016 and Bernie Sanders on multiple occasions also shouldn’t be able to come in an effectively (in the case of Trump) or nearly take over an existing political machine and transform it in their image at the low low cost of changing their party registration on a form with their home state.

You can do it too! In the State of California where yours truly is domiciled, changing your party registration is easier than changing your underwear so if there’s a particular party whose primary you want to vote in for whatever reason, that’s a thing you can just do with absolutely no cost to you whatsoever. You don’t need any buy-in. If political parties are going to be a thing, and we’ve accepted that they’re just going to be a thing for over 200 years and counting, then there needs to be some buy-in for people running under their banner and proportionate institutional influence from the leaders and rank-and-file of the organization flying that banner. Given freedom of association is a thing, parties are not going to go away no matter what you try and do to constrain them, so I’m okay with them also being a focal point around which people qualify for the ballot and secure donations and staffed time to run for office since that is what they are there for.

Real party turnover used to be higher. Parties would either fall out of favor and die and be replaced, or they would face credible risks from smaller parties and work to absorb them into their ranks by taking in the issues that energized them. Right now they’re functionally just an identity group, and that makes them both fragile and dangerous since their name still means something to voters, but their party functions do not command the premium they used to.
We could start by at least processing our own steel (we still process some, but not nearly as much as we used to). Newcastle Steelworks, just north of Sydney, was back in the day one of the biggest in the world, but it closed down in the 90s. Nowadays, we ship iron ore (our number 1 export) to China, and literally ship that same material back to Australia as steel. Insane!

Wouldn't corporate fraud be opening them to a lawsuit? Say your a hedge fund that decided to invest and buy 23% of availabile market shares, the fraud of misrepresenting the company's situation leaves investors with no way to trust a market, and basically your stuck relianing on the financial reports alone.

How/where? We see a lot of companies inside as nature of business our business; almost no one cares. Some say they care but in the end it's money and shipping fast. If that can get code quality for the same price, they feel they are overpaying and they can ship faster.

Not sure if you are joking or not, but BRICS certainly have enough developers for that effort, especially if it is encouraged and financed by the member states. I would not be surprised if this happens.

Not even close. You voluntarily give your info to Facebook and other websites/apps. Facebook and other meta companies have no idea where I am currently because I don’t use their products.
It's not even close to as large as the footprint of oil and gas. The Thacker Pass project, which is one of several that are all individually described as satisfying global demand, will ultimately disturb only 7000 acres. Fossil fuel wells usually disturb 5 net acres each, and there are five million such wells in America alone.
