I think we are talking about two different things. Yes, of course you can build an accounting system using whatever database algorithm and programming framework you like. But your users expect debits and credits and A=LE or A-L=E because that’s what their auditors expect.

In the scenario four I presented earlier, I believe it is intuitive to think of unearned revenue (liability) as a positive number. When the customer picks up the order, the unearned revenue will be transferred to equity.
This is a bad idea. We should be forcing demonetization of the platforms content creators instead of hamstringing children.
No I'm not joking. Content creators making money should be outside where I post about my cat. I'm fucking sick of engagement bait.

We socialize here, just last month I read someone's comment about life in the Canadian country-side and realized he's the brother of a Youtuber I'm watching for years. The same happens on any other social platform be it in the internet or real life.
Yeah the London ones were enormous back in the day. I seem to remember 100+ attendees. We only have a tenth of the population - so my expectations are appropriately "managed" :)
>the government act with expertise to solve the problem

Do you have an idea which problem did they solve? Did banning certain psychoactive drugs solved the problem of drug abuse? Maybe banning alcohol removed it from the streets during great depression? Banning gambling? Kids will find a way to get into their social media accounts anyway, and then these democrats will tell you they need to ban every VPN service and set-up Deep Packet Inspection devices for every ISP, make their own govt CA, and trust me all of it will be done in the name of people and child safety.

Sad to see a dysfunctional govt. which bans and calls it a solution to the problem. When I will be in the office I would ban the whole concept of banning itself once and forever, and any politician who proposed a single ban in his life would be banned from service. I will of course step out for proposing this ban immediately.
It’s sad though because maybe 90% (?) of what’s sensible about Ubuntu is probably just Debian
You're literally spreading misinformation in your comment.

a) The government was trying to outlaw deepfakes and fake accounts. But also require more transparency for users to contest moderation decisions. It did not try to limit what you can say.

b) There is no law that makes it illegal to criticise the government.
> Claiming otherwise is just dishonest.

I didnt claim otherwise. I asked a poster what area they thought Rogers had a monopoly in. Telco sector has gotten quite a bit better in the last few years, but there are certainly still improvements needed.
> I’m not certain we’d want to create incentive for less polluting compounds over security.

Sure we do, if that pollution causes a greater risk. Those two security costs seam hard to compare though.
If you think the luddites were attacking the hardware because they were afraid of technology you’re mistaken.

Please read the article I linked, it explains how the luddites’ motives are completely misunderstood by most people. This misunderstanding is furthered by people using the term Luddite as a pejorative. But this is somewhat like using the term “Black Panther” as a pejorative.
Are you European? Because if are actually an American then you are just not operating in reality. I think after this most recent election result, we all need to take a step back and start thinking more realistically.
This is misunderstanding why people respond that way.

There are a lot of people who can't easily change their behavior, e.g. because your theory is that they should buy smaller cars but their business requires a vehicle that can carry heavy loads once a week and they can't afford to buy a separate vehicle for that so the larger vehicle has to be their daily driver. Then a tax meant to induce a change in behavior is received by them as an unavoidable tax hike, which they naturally resent and oppose, and because of the nature of politics they'll then propose the opposite of whatever you're trying to do to them.

What you really need to do is to make it more possible for them to do the thing you want. For example, right now if you want to have a modern compact car for most use and an old truck you use once a week for truck stuff, you have to register and insure two vehicles. That isn't currently economical, but it's what you want to happen so they're not just driving the truck at all times.

What you want to do is to make it economical. Only charge a registration fee for someone's primary vehicle and waive the cost for a second one, and make insurance work in such a way that having two vehicles doesn't have any higher liability premiums than driving the same total number of miles in one vehicle.

Then they can do what you want, and in fact have the incentive to, because the smaller car will save them gas most of the time but they still have the truck when they need it.

They’re not mutually exclusive, and this isn’t about democracy.

We know that developing brains have been deeply impacted by the easy dopamine engineered hits Meta and Bytedance deliver.

To me this feels like a contemporary version of the opium wars, but instead of nation states at war, it’s companies vs people.
But not a worse problem than blocking it for everyone
When the laws come in, many Australians will get VPNs rather than provide ID to random websites.

If social media sites are compelled block VPNs, is that technically achievable/viable? Cloud providers and VPN services have predictable IP ranges, so are easily blocked (/majorly inconvenienced) by sites motivated to do so. But social media companies might not want to block VPNs since a lot of legitimate traffic comes through them (e.g. people anywhere in the world who simply wish to have that extra layer of privacy from their ISP and wifi owner).

Are there VPN strategies that will allow an Australian to reliably access social media as though their traffic is coming from another country?

I also guess Australians who try this might have to access social media sites via a browser on their phone (as opposed to native app).

Asking for a friend, of course.

I'd say the next steps is that you also force institutions for kids to ban it, regardless of parent choice.

Parents must present proof of disabling said websites for their children. Or their kids can just not have those devices with them.

Do this for schools, activity clubs, restaurants, fast for food places, etc, and you've basically hit 80% of places where kids are all the time.

Hen or egg? To make it worse, for some it's simple in their nature to show some degree of anti-social behaviour. We all have to learn how to interact with others in a social manner, be it on the playground, school or internet.
Banning smoking in many places plus banning advertising it plus banning selling it to kids reduced smoking by unfathomable amounts.

I don't understand what that /s is doing there. Are you implying that lobbying doesn't exist, or that it's ineffective? Because then I have some bad news for you.
> in-equality

If your concern is that some parents will be able to afford to give their children their own devices, but not afford any parental-control software with them... Well, that's better-addressed with an explicit "Digital Tools For Needy Parents" program.

If you mean some parents will choose to give their kids more autonomy... Well, isn't it proper for that to be their decision? I have little sympathy for neighbors who use the logic of: "You are banned from giving your child $thing, because I'm tired of hearing my kids whine that they want it too."
This is a for profit business not a limited common ressource being shared.

What you are missing here is that the adjustment is not low usage users subsidising high usage users, it’s OVH margins. Nobody is being subsidised. Low usage users just make OVH more money than high usage users. OVH doesn’t mind because per user costs are actually low and they are already competitive at that price without adding more complexity to their product mix. Users which would lead to an actual loss are rate limited.

Which is why a bunch of this will never happen. They have a boatload of money sunk into EVs and the only thing more powerful than christian nationalists are corporations, especially auto manufacturers.

A large number of red states have foreign car company factories. If those scale back or shut down, people are going to be pissed. Dollars to donuts all those car companies have plant idling and layoff plans all drawn up and ready to go the second tariffs come in.

I half want to see it for the /r/leopardsatetheirfaces moment. Who would have thought it'd be unwise to have a man who bankrupted multiple casinos (by shuffling personal debts into them), an entire sports league, an airline, and failed to sell alcohol and beef to Americans...be put in charge of a national economy.

He'll make a lot of bluster, Big Three will tell him to knock it the fuck off, he'll find someone to blame for his base (probably the auto company execs), and go back to eating Hamberders while staring at a national security brief written at a 3rd grade English level.

> I mean, other countries would kill to preserve such long-lasting heritage, especially one that's in active use and very much a part of the city.

Nah. In China there wouldn't even be an announcement, you'd just turn up one day and it would be gone.

Tokyo famously redeveloped their fish market, and that was far more of a piece of popular heritage than either of the markets mentioned here.

This is no different from what happened to Covent Garden 40 years ago, and no-one sane wishes we'd kept that as a fruit and veg market.
This is an announcement targeted at US customers. One could assume that at least some of these might assume the American English sense of the word.
> are not represented

Young Greens/Labor/Liberal allow members as young as 14.

And these groups have significant and direct input into political policy.

So simply not true to say that have no representation.
Also, for Java, Virtual Threads are a very new feature (Java 21 IIRC or somewhere around there). OS threads have been around for decades. As a heavy JVM user it would have been nice to actually see those both broken out to compare as well!
> The people here that claim "secureboot prevented that". No, it didn't. A simple call to sbctl to sign the rootkit is missing, because, as every Linux device, you will have to have the signature keys available locally. Otherwise you can never update your kernel.

If, hypothetically, you were using a system without custom keys, e.g. with a third party kernel trusted via the Microsoft / Red Hat shim program, [1] wouldn't you be safe, so long as secure boot was enabled? The bootkit would not be able to sign itself with a trusted key since the private key would never exist on the system to begin with.

Obviously, I'm aware that this approach has other problems and has had vulnerabilities in the past.

> I remember talking to a journalist about a series they were working on, they said the feedback they’ve gotten has been overwhelmingly positive and no one had anything bad to say about it. The comments on their articles were absolutely negative and vitriolic.

There are two quite different possible interpretations for that fact pattern.
I personally welcome this change. Anecdotally, I experienced unimpeded and unsupervised internet access throughout my younger teenage years, and was exposed to some truly horrendous material courtesy of the bigger social platforms. My parents knew I used social media. They believed it was fine because it was "just MySpace and Facebook".

Meanwhile, I witnessed large amounts of open bullying between my peers, recordings of physical assaults, underage revenge pornography, and a massive decline of people physically spending time together outside of online contexts, culminating in widespread loneliness and isolation.

In recent times I have seen the dramatic failure of social media companies to moderate their content, actively promoting extremist content, and even openly protecting the originators of illicit material.

Rates of youth suicide skyrocketed shortly after the rise of smartphones, social media and always-available internet access as evident by published statistics. While none of these can be individually attributed as the cause of this rise, all are undoubtedly a contributing factor, as suggested by countless studies globally.

I suspect that it is technically possible to make an anonymous identification service because the result to the social media site just had to be yes or no.

In the Netherlands you have a government identification service that identifies people to other government sites. And a bank service that uses the banks identification service also roll to identify to other sites.

Technically it would be possible to delete any trace afterwards.

However. I have never ever in my life seen any government choose not to take advantage of an opportunity to exert more control over their citizens if the possibility exists.

Plus rather than force it on everyone it should be a choice of the parents. Clearly not doing this is better but in the absence of that parents deciding is better for the others.
Is that the ideomatic way to do it, or the best way you can imagine?
Well but that content is also distributed over this social media sites.
> Most people ... push the pedal when they want to go and they leave it to the car to accelerate at a reasonable speed when they do.

I'm going to need a source for that. There are literally tens of thousands of accelerator pedal types, with different hinges, different travel, different stiffness and different engines with different ECUs and different drive modes attached to them. There's no one default way to step on the gas that people would just pull out of muscle memory.
You don't recognize that people can think. You assert that the offspring behave like the parents. You imply that the offspring are defined by their genes. You have no concept of the cultural transmission of ideas. You imagine that looking at everything biologically is correct. Your reasoning is bad, and you should feel bad.
Regarding Java I'm pretty sure that benchmark is broken at least a little bit and testing something else as not specifying initial size for ArrayList means list of size 10 which gets resized all the time when `add()` is called, leading to big amount of unused objects needing garbage collection.
I read a very sadly sweet near-future-sci-fi book, very much in the vein of Bradbury, called “Klara And The Sun,” by Kazuo Ishiguro.

It very credibly tells an agonizingly familiar human story, from the perspective of a inescapably inhuman android protagonist - by seeing the world through her eyes, you also learn who she is, and what her experience of consciousness is - you in fact are offered a precious insight into the nature of artificial consciousness that no one else in the book is quite properly aware of.
I think UEFI has many problems. However, you should not confuse separate (but related) issues from each other. If the initial booting functions can be altered by the operating system, that is a different issue (which perhaps UEFI makes it more severe). An internal hardware switch to disable this function would be helpful, and possibly a software function that the BIOS disables once the system starts (so it can only be altered by the BIOS setting menu, or by a BASIC or Forth in ROM or something like that). Functions being restricted by internal hardware switches would improve security, especially if also the initial booting functions are made less complicated too; if you are paranoid then you could also use glitter or whatever to detect hardware tampering.
Goroutines being go structures, the runtime can cooperate with itself so it doesn't need to do any sort of probing: function prologues can check if there's enough stack space for its frame, and grow the stack if not.

In reality it does use a guard area (technically I think it's more of a redzone? It doesn't cause access errors and functions with known small static frames can use it without checking).
If you're using a recent Electron. Nearly everything (Discord, Slack, you name it) does not. This is all from memory, but I believe Wayland was "fixed" in Electron 19, but with a showstopper bug that was never backported. Many Electron apps are on 18 to this day.
Why would you not just use the odometer reading?

Cars get sold, eventually. You put the odometer reading on the paperwork to transfer the car. Check that against tax records. Purchaser has incentive to check that the recorded mileage is correct, otherwise they’ll have to pay the tax. The odometer is already tamper-resistant. Not perfectly so, and there is fraud, but there is always tax fraud.
Isn’t that kind of dumb when none of the other languages do this? Apparently allocating memory is really fast? Maybe we should change the test to load 1MB of data in every task?

> Is that the ideomatic way to do it

Well... I'm actually not sure what ideomatic means (English isn't my first language), but it's the standard way of doing it. You'll even find it as step 2 and 3 here: https://go.dev/tour/concurrency/1

> or the best way you can imagine

I would do a lot much more to tune it if you were in a position where you'd know it would run that many "tasks". I think what many non-Go programmers might run into here is that Go doesn't come with any sort of "magic". Instead it comes with a highly opinionated way of doing things. Compare that to C# which comes with a highly optimized CLR and a bunch really excellent libraries which are continuously optimized by Microsoft and you're going to end up with an article like this. The async libraries are maintaining which tasks are running (though Promise.All is obviously also binding a huge amount of memory you don't have to), while the Go example is running 1 million at once.

You'll also notice that there is no benchmark for execution time. With Go you might actually want to pay with memory, though I'd argue that you'd almost never want to run 1 million Goroutines at once.

Though to be fair to this specific author, it looks like they copied the previous benchmarks and then ran it as-is.
There is myID (formerly myGovID) which would be the logical vehicle for a government provided age verification service. I've heard (but can't find a source) that it's build on OIDC/OAuth, so extending it to be an IdP exposing only specific claims (ie, age) shouldn't be a huge leap.
