Business law is a state issue in the U.S. The reason that the U.S. has one set of legislation (more or less) is that 50 states (well, 49) have voluntarily adopted the Uniform Commercial Code. There is absolutely nothing stopping Europe from doing the same or similar except lack of political will.

Tauri when we last tried it was using your default browser to power it, which is great in theory. When we went to use newer API's such as the Popover API then browsers like Safari had a subpar user experience for a number of reasons of its own.

As much as the performance and lightweight aspects of Tauri are great we also have to weight the consistency of user experience which Electron gives having Chromium built into it. All that said... it's worth us taking a second look to see if Tauri will work for us in this use case!
It's so strange because that must be what people who don't know about the term think, but those who do all know it's not really an alt-right meme at all even if it's technical origins are as such.

It's like if someone moved to America and said "Oh Thanksgiving? Never heard of it but I looked into it now, and it's a weird holiday based on whitewashing the murder of Native Americans". Technically it's true but you aren't a supporter of that or blind to that fact when you celebrate it with your family, and the insinuations about you from that are likely incorrect.
> Are you on the outside looking in, and this is what the US looks like to you?

No, I lived in Canada for 12 years, my family lived in the US for 6 years, and I regularly visited for work and pleasure. My first hand experience is that the US is a shithole.

> Pick one. Wages trend higher where it’s expensive. Wages trend lower where it’s not.

No. Slightly higher wages do not offset the incredible cost of living in cities. And likewise, if you live in a cheap area you still have to compete with everyone else for certain goods.

> Japan doesn’t have a safety net either. Is it “horrible”?

Japan does have a safety net.

> The US has a substantial safety net via charity

lol. Guess I'll die unless Jeff Bezos decides to give me money.

It should be federally covered for everyone in the country.

> None of my friends, family, or acquaintances in my entire life have been a victim of gun violence

Yes, that's statistics for you. I'm Brazilian but I haven't been murdered even though lots of people are murdered in Brazil.

> I know of three people who committed suicide with their own guns

This is gun violence.

> it’s just not part of the day-to-day reality for most people.

It literally is. A ton of people own guns for "protection", because what if the other person has a gun. There are areas of cities you avoid because they're dangerous. If you get stopped in your car by a cop, there's a non-zero chance you will get shot. Kids literally have active shooter drills in school. It literally is part of day-to-day reality for most people. You're just in it so you don't realize it.

> The system of checks and balances baked into the US system is failing tragically at the moment, but we are not at the level of a dictatorship yet.

Yes you are. You get a choice between two parties who are basically the same. 70% of the country's vote is thrown away in federal elections. A vote in Wyoming counts for 4x more than a vote in California. Counties are gerrymandered so badly your vote doesn't matter even in local elections. Voter suppression is table stakes. That's not a democracy.

My take is that Americans like to make infrastructure an excuse for everything when it really boils down to priorities and preferences.

I'm pretty sure healthcare costs in the US are also higher as a percentage of GDP compared to EU, so higher wages would not explain the difference. Also productivity should be higher?

To have this perspective you must believe that this will never get better than it currently is, its limitations will never be fixed, and it will never lead to any other applications. I don't know how people can continue to look at these things with such a lack of imagination given the pace of progress in the field.

Every nation on earth makes some attempt to lessen inequality. But pick any ill that exists in society - crime, prejudice, traffic accidents, noise pollution - and try to completely eradicate it, and chances are it will cause misery.

I think this is a large reason why forums and comment sections can get so out-of-hand.

Yeah, there's no illusion here at all.

Look at France, its electricity cost per KWh, and its carbon intensity per KWh generated. In recent years, all are much, much better than Germany's. (And their carbon intensity numbers have probably been consistently better since like the 1990s.)

It's almost as if making your economy that requires a lot of electricity dependent on electricity generation methods that require fuels supplied by potentially-hostile foreign countries is a bad, bad idea.
Thank your question. The OS does have currently some limitations in the signature area, as this is one of those things that is still a work in progress due to trying to focus in many common threats first before expanding on the verification. It does perform hash comparisons, but then again, the proper ED25519 signature verification is still a work in progress.

The threat model is still evolving, but the core goal is to provide verifiable attestation of system operations with these key properties:

1. Non-repudiation of operations

2. Tamper-evidence for operation chains

3. Verifiable boot sequence attestation

You are absolutely right that the cryptographic aspects need significant hardening. I even have some key improvements planned for future versions:

1. Proper ED25519 signature implementation using the ring or ed25519-dalek crates

2. Secure key management for signing operation proofs

3. TPM integration for hardware-backed key storage and verification

4. Formal verification of the proof generation and verification logic

The core verification chain itself (in merkle_tree.rs and hash_chain.rs) provides tamper detection, but it does require significant hardening in the cryptographic area. Now being sincere, I really wanted to emphasize on the VKFS(verified kernel file system based on the Linux Ext2) implementation first as that was a very tough one to make.

Anyways, I really appreciate you diving into the code and highlighting this. ( * ´ ω ｀ * )

Show HN: Analyze utility data and get alerts
We started this product to analyze water usage which was too high for a house. We ended up improving it to support gas and electricity and provide insights and usage information.

It can also detect abnormal increase weak over weak and send an email, e.g. for a water leak or over use.

It can show electricity usage with separation from EV, AC and everything else. It's not perfect but it works.

Account required (you also need to download your utility data) but it is free for 2 weeks.

To get data, you need a Green Button compatible utility, or one compatible with our Sync Companion app (HTTP client to log in to your utility and download a CSV); feel free to reach out if you want to add your utility.

Thanks HN!

> This was discussed briefly during the Obama healthcare debates, but broadly rejected by left who wanted to eliminate private options.

As someone who voluteered in this field during that time, this is just a repetition of right wing propaganda. There was no serious movement to eliminate private options. Every country with a single-payer system that I'm aware of has private options as well, they just aren't popular because they aren't good or necessary. Right wing extremists want to present this as eliminating options, but in reality, it's just people not choosing private options when they have other options, because private options suck.

The real reason the left rejected a the "compromise" of non-profit options is that it still requires people who don't have money to pay for insurance. Simply slapping a non-profit label on an insurance company doesn't fix anything.

Note that non-profit health insurance companies exist already, and have solved exactly zero of America's health insurance problems.

These opinion pieces are so tiring. Talking points:

- The sanctions induced energy crisis exists, but is not the reason.

- The lazy Europeans are the problem.

- We need more tech.

- Trump will ruin everything.

All of this is false. There is no mention of the dollar status as the reserve currency, which enables the reckless U.S. deficit spending while shielding it from the consequences.

There is no mention of German industries, which had been productive, closing or moving abroad after the Nord Stream sabotage by one of Germany's "allies".

There is no mention that tech is overvalued and not a panacea. Russia does have Yandex as a Google replacement and it does not help. China has Baidu. So tech in the U.S. has been inflated by printing money, which the EU and China cannot do.

I expect more from a European newspaper than just telling Europeans to work harder.
Anywhere in the world, you might be "one <what if> away from <unsolvable problems>." That's not a US-specific thing. The US is better at some things and worse at others. Obviously we all make these choices on different merits, but IMO don't live in fear.

Being in the group of people who has a choice of countries to live in _and_ being in the top 10% in the US puts you in the top 0.1 to 1% globally. Enjoy it while you can!

I wouldn't jump on it except for the number of times I've been discussing this online and people completely seriously counter "Python is a fairly slow language" with "But it's popular!"

Fuzzy one-dimensional thinking that classifies languages on a "good" and "bad" axis is quite endemic in this industry. And for those people, you can counter "X is slow" with "X has good library support", and disprove "X lacks good tooling" with "But X has a good type system", because all they hear is that you said something is "good" but they have a reason why it's "bad", or vice versa.

GPU style SIMD parallelization cannot take separate if/else branches.

If/else in GPU land is implemented by having the GPU execute the if() side with (EXEC-mask), THEN the else() side with (not EXEC-mask).

Ie: the exec mask makes the appearance of skipping over the unnecessary code. But in practice, one of the 32 CUDA threads executes on one or the other branch. And this the system must physically execute both while throwing away the results.

---------

CPU parallelization in contrast is a true skip of the unnecessary if/else side. It takes a branch predictor to do it well though.

This also means that in a GPU, if one (of the 32 CUDA threads aka lanes) needs to loop 10,000 times, then ALL the CUDA lanes loop 10,000 times (with the other lanes possibly throwing away 9,999+ iterations of work as waste heat).

> Which "they" .. the Coalition in Opposition, the Labor Government, the various multi billion dollar private sector players (Santos, Fortescue, Rio Tinto, et al)?

AEMO. AEMO are the only ones who are tasked with keeping the grid running at the least cost.

The private players are playing "how can I use this crisis to make money" game, the pollies are playing some game akin to "whats the best way to buy votes using the voters own money".

AEMO handles the private players by attempting to create a market aligning the profit motive with their task. That's hard enough when the technology is stable. Right now it must be near impossible. I have no idea how they handle the pollies. It's probably a case of "keep your head down and hope they go away".
I can do that. What's the best way to get them to y'all?

People won't do this. A very very small percentage of people will do this. Time and time again that's been proven to be true. Which is fine, but the globally connected social media could never have existed by charging every person on Earth.

Mark my words, paid search will not overtake free search. The people who value paid social media over free social media enough to actually pay are always going to be a very small minority (albeit well represented in this forum)
A separate allocation is not forced. The implementation could allocate a block of memory large enough to hold the two pointers for the interface value together with the largest of the types that implements the interface. (You can't do that with an open interface because there's no upper bound, but the idea here is to let you define closed interfaces.)

In cases where there is a lot of variance in the size of the different interface implementations, separate allocations could actually be more memory efficient than a tagged union. In any case, I'm not sure that memory efficiency is the main reason that people miss Rust-style enums in Go.

Correct.

In most of the non-immigrant parts of the world there is discrimination that pales in comparison to what is supposed to be there in America. Most native born Americans have no clue how good they have it, despite things being as bad as it is.
