Exactly this.

There's no fixing the system when there is no onus on the police to act like they care. They enter a home that was a victim of swatting and kill everyone? Tough luck, "it's part of the job", "we told them to stand down and they didn't", "we couldn't risk the life of the first responders".

There's always a reason as to why police violence is fine. Its almost as if the police isn't really there to protect normal people.
Biden allows Ukraine to use US arms to strike inside Russia
Back in the day I used to jokingly describe Perl5 as a "lisp-5ish." Lisp-1s like Scheme have a single namespace for all functions and values. Lisp-2s like Common Lisp allow a symbol to have separate bindings for functions and values. Perl symbols on the other hand have at least: scalar, array, hash, and code (it's been a long time since I did XS). I'm fairly confident I'm forgetting at least one or two on top of that.

If you avoided the many footguns the language offered, you could actually write pretty clean functional code. Of course you had to be extremely diligent with your testing because the interpreter did not provide much help even with warnings and strict enabled.
In Europe this would have been a completely different story. It's highly unlikely (compared to the US) that a SWAT team equivalent would kill anyone. The guy could have got away with 5-7 years max.
I know it's a museum, but I prefer to live here.
Yes, it's viable. Are you incapable of reading? Read the comment again and don't strawman. Do you want people to have zero respect for you?

> when it’s clearly a niche case

The entire oh but rural people is your niche case that you bought up.

For more than a decade now countries such as the US, Australia, etc have been more urban than rural. The overwhelming vast bulk of people live within urban areas.

And still some twit will counter a comment suggesting more people should walk, use lighter more efficient vehicles, etc. with a niche but what about farmers type parry.

That's weak.

Efficient solutions for the future should pay attention to distributions of people, trips, resources, etc.

Sad weak counters focus on "but some are different from the many therefore .."

Steve Hsu (MSU) helping to look for Trump admin appointees in science
From his Twitter post:

US Scientists, Technologists, Academics:

The Trump transition team seeks highly qualified individuals for government roles. One of the main goals will be to restore competitiveness and meritocratic values to institutions like NIH, NSF, DOE, DOD, NIST, Dept. of Education, etc.

Through these institutions, the new administration intends to enforce these values on our university system.

Highly motivated individuals with strong credentials, please DM me - resume preferred. US citizens only.

> Republicans have made no effort to appropriate funding for this work at either the federal or state level, for example.

The article states that drinking water systems for 26 million Americans are vulnerable to significant cybersecurity risks. What that obviously implies is that the drinking water systems for... 308 million Americans face an at least mitigated and acceptable level of cyber-risk. Are you stating that 308 million Americans live in counties led by Democrats, as they're the only ones capable of securing their water systems? Clearly that isn't the case. Are you crediting all of the good things about the good water systems to Democrats, and all the bad things about the bad water systems to Republicans, somehow? That feels unlikely; though I'm sure the federal government funds a significant amount of our local water systems' budgets, and currently the Republican party is the party of anti-federal government, obviously past and current Republicans also had a hand in creating some of that federal infrastructure and no one is saying it should entirely disappear.

> This sounds like a recipe for fraud and waste due to the sophistication of those responsible at the local level, with no accountability.

Its actually fascinating how Republicans would say the same thing of some of our federal institutions: That they've become so big that they're impossible to hold accountable. There's some truth in both extremes: but the Republican view is that the voting populace can more-easily hold their local government and utilities accountable than we're able to hold the federal bureaucracy accountable. Given the measurable performance and efficiency of some of these federal institutions; I do believe that Republicans are, at least, operating in good faith, even if I tend to side with Democrats directionally. Of course, we've become a culture of extremes: you're either in the party of "don't touch it, touching it is anti-federal and anti-democrat" or "tear it down and salt the earth it stood on", there's no in-between take that maybe these institutions just need an overhaul (well, there was [1], but it never panned out).

Fyi went to look at your site on iOS and some animation for text you have made the text at the part of the page I was reading jump all over the place so I gave up as it was seriously annoying.

Likely not the only visitor with that experience. Just a heads up.
Over here (Greece), anonymous reports are generally given very low priority, to the point where if someone anonymous reports a suspicious vehicle, the police might not even investigate. A report by an eponymous reporter does generally get investigated, though, because there's a lower likelihood of the report being frivolous.
Worked on building a new desktop this month. Most AMD consumer CPUs support unbuffered ECC RAM to help protect against inflight bit flipped. DDR5 standard has chip level built-in ECC to protect bit flipping on the RAM but not in-flight. Went with Kingston again because CORSAIR only sells quad-kits. Dual-kits should be a thing with CORSAIR because most iATX motherboards only have two slots for RAM. Kingston marketing and sales understand this.

My POV, ECC should be standard for inflight on all desktops. The majority of desktop (business and education) is used for content creation versus pure content consumption. And ECC needs to ditch 1 bit and move to 2 bit or more masking.

I’m regularly surprised why there’s not more recognition of the slow moving sex strike since the 1910s and Margaret Sanger began liberating women from abusive relationships.

The resulting neo-reactionary response since then with the “pro-life” movement is entirely predictable

The concept of a sex strike predates the written record. Read Chris Knight’s 1991 “Blood Relations” for an absolutely fascinating deep dive into what is arguably the most effective means for social change. That’s not an un controversial position - however seems exceptionally well argued by Knight.

See the case study of the matrilocal Sharanahua

The quoted activist even says as much …“labor strike.”

All periods of Sex strike are typically kicked off in periods of major social change or chaos. Makes sense in every biological sense that the environment becomes uncertain and more dangerous. There’s a reason there’s an entire group of society called the Baby Boomers.

A lot of depth here that is very well researched but goes totally ignored.

There has been a lot of Bluesky shilling on social and legacy media over the last week. It almost seems intentional.

It is not the panacea they expect it to be. Most of these people don't even know what they're running from. Case in point, the histrionics in the very first sentence.

It's reminiscent of the Jonestown cult exiling themselves to Guyana.

A quick trip to the Bluesky homepage showed its feed promoting some of the very same political 'influencer' accounts that spew some of the most toxic and divisive content on X.

Folks packing up and running from X because their 'friends' are, unknowingly are bringing the cockroaches with them in their luggage.
Ask HN: How does one negotiate for a remote job?
Asking for a friend who is interviewing right now: for life reasons he would really appreciate a fully remote job. Do you think prospective employers/hiring managers have fixed remote policies or is there flexibility if they're willing to give up some compensation? Is there an approach that is better than just asking directly?

Asking about a full range of companies, not just FAANG.
> I'm pretty sure there are a number of people in the US who don't support the police in any way at all.

Yes, this is so trivially true of any place that it's not worth mentioning, as generalizations are meant as just that: Something that a majority (or at least a large minority) are like. For example, people do say "people in the US speak English", even though there's a number of people that don't. This doesn't make the generalization any less useful than "Americans like baseball" or "Americans wear shoes around the house".
It's fascinating and makes me want to know more about how the culture works.

Do you think water systems are managed at the federal level? They're not. Municipal water supplies are primarily managed by local and state agencies.

> A VC, on the other hand, is often content to have zero returns for years followed by a 100x payout through an IPO

I know how all this works, but 100x payout is for the small initial investments, not after 10 years of operating at multi-billion-dollar scales.

Small amounts of money are set on fire all of the time, chasing this kind of high-risk return.

Nonetheless, there's an expectation of a return, even if only in aggregate across many small startups.

What I was observing (from the outside, at a distance) was that Twitter was still being run by a startup despite being in an effectively monopoly position already and a "mature" company. Similarly, Amazon could set money on fire while they were the growing underdog. If they doubled their headcount today without doubling either revenue or profits, the idiots responsible for that would be summarily fired.

I get that Silicon Valley and their startup culture does a few things in an unusual way, but that doesn't make US dollars not be US dollars and magically turn into monopoly money that rains from the sky just because interest rates are low.

> To own Russia?

That's not the goal.

It's for security: It's less risky now to fight Russia then later, after they've conquered more people and territory, and have political momentum.

It's for security again: If Russia wins, it greatly damages the international order which has prevented wide-scale war for generations. Remember the world before 1945.

It's for people: The lives, freedom, rights, and prosperity of tens of millions of people are at stake.

> and government officials accurately advised the public that it would significantly increase survival rates and reduce transmission rates.

Not true. The only claims by the vaccine manufacturers were that it would stop people getting sick. They made no claims about infection/transmission. So there were two possibilities: Either it did work to reduce infection/transmission, or it only suppressed the symptoms and made asymptomatic transmission more common.

Government and media claimed the first without evidence, and we actually got the second.
It’s missing the fifth B, Beguines. The Beguines were a movement among Catholic lay women in Europe from 1200-1500. Women would live chaste lives in small communities among themselves (towns within towns) supporting themselves with lacemaking and the like. They could leave and marry if they chose but remained chaste while in the community.

The difference between the Beguines and the 4Bs is the Beguines were moving towards something better (religious enlightenment), as compared to the 4Bs running away from something they perceive as worse (real or imagined risk of sexual and emotional abuse). The Beguine mystics became quite famous for the intensity of their religious beliefs and practices, with their martyr being Marguerite Porete, burned at the stake for her heretical views (“The Mirror of Simple Souls” is still a pleasant and powerful read). Eventually the Beguines became tolerated and eventually absorbed into existing Catholic religious orders.

Movements based on bliss and transcendence tend to outlast those based on fear. Might get some nice furniture out of it in any respect, though, see the Shaker movement.
The same thing that has happened forever. People practice and gain skills on their own time before being welcomed into the professional community. Skilled new college graduate programmers have often put in a decade or more of learning before they graduate because they start young. They may have taught themselves many programming languages, studied many open source libraries, learned about profiling and efficiency tradeoffs, etc. Companies with serious engineering needs simply don’t want and haven’t wanted those who lack this natural desire to build and iterate. The only change is that the bar continues to rise a bit and all people are now competing at one level or another with machines.
Bitcoin is proven as a monetary asset competing in a $900T total addressable market. Ethereum is more of an experiment looking for a use case whilst also having the founders print money for themselves so it will never be interesting as money.

> If the kernel had to be reauthenticated periodically (think oauth's refresh token)

If the kernel is compromised, this is pointless I think. You could just "fake it".

SEP is already very active in filesystem encryption. The real important thing is evicting all sensitive information from memory. Reboot is the simplest and most effective, and the end result is the same.

It's an apples-to-oranges comparison for all sorts of reasons, but England and Wales has a population of about 60 million and averages about 3 fatal police shootings per year. From that perspective, 'regular' sounds like something of an understatement.

Swatting just isn't a thing here - our armed officers are trained completely differently and held to much stricter standards regarding the use of force. American police do have to deal with much more widespread gun ownership and higher rates of violent crime, but that's only one half of the equation.

Policing in the US is exceptionally fragmented across thousands of agencies, with no consistent standards of training and supervision. Even if there was a clear political mandate to reduce the number of police-involved shootings, there's no effective mechanism to change how policing is carried out on the ground.

That test case involved a 76-year-old patient with severe pain in his low back, buttocks and calves when he walked. The pain started a few days after he had been treated with balloon angioplasty to widen a coronary artery. He had been treated with the blood thinner heparin for 48 hours after the procedure.
The man complained that he felt feverish and tired. His cardiologist had done lab studies that indicated a new onset of anemia and a buildup of nitrogen and other kidney waste products in his blood. The man had had bypass surgery for heart disease a decade earlier.
The case vignette continued to include details of the man’s physical exam, and then provided his lab test results.

Generational indexes in a SlotMap or similar should rule this out.

How so?

> You need an allocator for the indices.

Yes, this usually becomes a central point of synchronization. (If you just have a SlotMap, you might not think of it as an "ID allocator", but that is half of what it is.) It doesn't have to be fully synchronous, though, and you can do fancy things with atomics.

> On rare occasions, it crashes with an invalid index.

Indexes become a sort of Weak pointer, and you get an Option when you dereference them, so you can certainly crash if you .unwrap() it or similar. You can use a Vec with "infallible" indexes if you don't want to support deletion, but if you do want to support deletion, the deleted case can bite you one way or another, no?

I'm actually far more concerned with the other thing I mentioned, just like on old versions of windows, safari updates are coupled to iOS updates. So if your phone doesn't get any more updates, or you just don't want them, your browser engine is out of date, giving years old safari versions significant market shares. And this impacts stuff like being able to use "gap" for flexbox, which I don't think qualifies as a proprietary chrome feature

We actually do know, it cannot directly*. What it could do is functionally disable RAM, but that would basically cause the phone to hard lock and even cause data corruption in some limited cases.

This is still being actively researched. I have no evidence, but would not be surprised to find out that a SEP update has been pushed that causes it to pull RAM keys after the kernel panic window has closed.
