Hardware level attestation isn't even required, and would only marginally increase security. Phones are already heavily locked down. If you're in a position to extract from app data, you're probably in a position to compromise the chat app itself, rendering any attestation pointless.
Also, carefully consider the costs. It's usually pretty hard to get the first 80-100k; burning your principal to 0 probably doesn't make sense. If it wasn't hard for you, that income stream is worth a lot, so you should carefully consider whether you're burning any bridges.
If you're not burning bridges or burning principal to 0, that's a complete reframing of the situation.
I get that law enforcement might want to sell surplus equipment.

But buying things with the idea of selling seems like an organization that's operating way outside it's mandate.

Re: "problem that was best left unsolved"

This is a good example of a hard-won life lesson... There might be a solution to a problem, but the solution is worse than the original problem. I semi-jokingly call this "the healing power of apathy". The reality of it is that, sometimes, there are problems in life where benign neglect is the best response.

> The world knows how to make good cars now.

Companies can forget how.

Stellantis (which owns Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, and some other forgettable car brands) forgot how. The CEO was fired on December 1st, 2024.
His strategy had been to crank prices way up, add on post-sale service charges,
and get the biggest bonus in automotive executive pay history (not counting Musk's current litigated bonus.)

Sales went down. Way down. Chrysler now makes only minivans. Overpriced Jeeps are piling up in dealer lots. The "mild hybrid" power train, with 21 miles of electric mileage, is a dud.
The brand image is in the tank. Nobody wears a Stellantis T-shirt.

The US has 3 million unsold cars sitting on dealer lots. Some have been there for over a year. How many will still start?

The router is the least painful part of my network right now because it's easy to choose your own advanture on halfway decent x86 hardware for a bit more power budget spend and there are multiple high quality router software options including but not limited to openwrt. The parts that I have closed source pain are primarily the wifi aps (Can somebody make a u7 pro max equivalent for less money but similar aesthetics and make openwisp easy for a home gamer to use please??? or make some sort of a front end to make it easy to drive an ansible backend for configuration/update of each ap and a [insert grafana like product here] frontend for pretty/useful logs?)

> … just reloaded the saved bugs.

Let's pretend that someone had made "bad" changes and saved them in their current image file, and they had not archived their other changes.

They would be able to recover all their "good" changes without the "bad" changes because their changes were automatically recorded in a transaction log file.

They could replay the "good" changes from the changes log into an original image file, and not replay the "bad" changes.

What a quote
This report doesn't include the DNA sequences that were deleted from databases soon after the outbreak.

https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2021/07/delete...
It's a made up term. Law has delineated that how fast a user can pull the trigger is irrelevant. The difference is semi-automatic rate of fire or full auto rate of fire. One requires the trigger to reset before each shot fired (Semi) and one has a trigger that mechanically allows multiple rounds to expel from the weapon with one pull.

It's cut and dry. The NFA act of 1934 (which many believe is unconstitutional and should be overturned post BRUEN), was the only law written to establish this rule. The 1986 FOPA was written to stop the sale of post 86 machine guns from MFG and Sale (prior weapons are still legally able to be sold).

Again modern claims of assault weapon are used to conjure up an image rather than provide any factual definition in line with the above comment.

At the end of the day there is nothing for "people who want to die on the hill of being pedantic" have to admit. The laws are clear, emotionally charged words have no bearing and are being used to muddy discussions around a clearly defined set of laws.
I can understand the reasons for wanting to incorporate in a state other than Delaware, but I think it's one of those things where if you have to ask on HN, the right answer is still Delaware (assuming you want to raise funds with equity).

Why would we trust data authored by the lab leader who would be severely punished by China if she were to release data implicating China and therefore contradicting the CCP?

That's not correct. In countries with real health care, all treatments that are listed for an illness are always approved. There just is no denial process that could block e.g. a cancer treatment. A doctor diagnoses it and decided the treatment, the insurance pays and has no say in the matter.
I'd argue that the case you give isn't an example of using a computer to generate data, it's a case of a human adding data (the data being the fact that the binary classifier should have a 50/50 balance).

This sort of massaging of data has its drawbacks as well--obviously this only works if the balance of that binary classifier actually is 50/50 in reality: I don't know enough about your case to say you were wrong, but I can imagine a lot of scenarios where a binary classifier should not be represented 50/50 in the data.
These cables offer enough bandwidth to service an entire country and then some, because they're also passing along data coming from further on. We have no satellites that can offer anything close to that rate.

A lot of apps have sync to handle that workflow.

My gut feeling is that most RSS users, including myself, simply use client apps.

Java agent to detect blocking calls from non-blocking threads
With a few exceptions (like APL), I've always found it pretty easy to read code in most languages, as long as I understood the paradigm, and the original author made at least a tiny effort to use sensible naming.

Imperative languages only have a handful of concepts, like variables, type declaration, looping, branching, function call, etc. and the language and the context generally make those pretty easy to identify.

The other language types (functional, forth-like, etc.) have similar (but often different) concepts, and once you understand the concept and can see it through the syntax, it's pretty easy to follow along.

Writing new code in a new language is the difficult part.
From that reference:

“These data provide no direct evidence to favor either a lab accident or a natural zoonosis,” said Bloom by email, with more explanation in a Twitter thread. “However, they do indicate the importance of continuing to seek new data about the origins and early spread of SARS-CoV-2.”

That is, recovered data from the deleted samples also show no close relation between strains from the lab and the COVID-19 outbreak.

Right, even then the rate of fire is only relevant as to say it was a single pull for multiple projectiles vs a pull for each round. If you have the money to pay the $200 tax stamp, undergo the background check, and can find a pre 1986 minigun, you can shoot upwards of 6k rpm. Some states may have prohibitions on it, but again, those are being contested in courts and I suspect post BRUEN they're not going to hold up to muster.

While I'm always glad to take inspiration from other projects and did research a few of them before creating mine, ComfyUI wasn't among the ones I researched.

I took a lot of inspiration from Blender though, and in fact reproduced many of its features/behaviours.

The one thing that converted us from Taskfile to Justfile is how it handle parameters injected at instantiation.

https://just.systems/man/en/recipe-parameters.html just works better for us than https://taskfile.dev/usage/#forwarding-cli-arguments-to-comm...

We use Docker Compose for our dev environment and were trying to do something like (notice the extra dash dash for separating the arguments out):

task poetry -- add requests django

It was not working as we expected for some of the users due to the argument dash dash stuff - they were forgetting due to muscle memory but the following does:

just poetry add requests django

under the hood it was just calling (the equivalent):

docker compose run --rm --build poetry poetry "$@"

Just arguments are more ergonomic.

This is how just does it:

poetry +command:

docker compose run --rm --build poetry poetry {{command}}

USD and EUR are in for a massive correction in foreign exchange value. It's not like a dollar earned in reality is worth ten times more than what a person in Thailand earns. So enjoy it while it lasts. The law of supply and demand means that as the supply of USD and EUR to other countries increases, their value will decrease. Especially the EUR, which has nothing to back it up. At least the USD has the world police to back up the currency value.

update: I consulted my copy of 'The Sleepwalkers' again, and I see that Martianus Capella is listed twice in the index.

Koestler claims that Martianus Capella's system, wherein Venus and Mercury orbit around the Sun, while the rest of the planets orbit around the Earth, is originally due to Herakleides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclides_Ponticus, not to be confused with Heraclitus), a 4th century BC Greek philosopher. But I see that wikipedia links to an article [1] by Eastwood from 1992 that claims this to be a complete misattribution lacking any evidence.

My first job in NYC paid very little. I did something to my foot that required surgery and about 6 weeks on crutches. I ended up spending most of my paycheck at that time to getting car service from Brooklyn to Manhattan for work. During that time I was just spending whatever was needed to maintain the status quo. Only years later did I realize the privilege I was experiencing. During that time I remember colleagues remarking in disbelief that I was taking car service to work.
My thinking was the only alternative was the subway and no way thought I was experiencing privilege. I was just trying to keep my job.
I'm not a fan. It works well for what it is, but what it is is an additional language to know in a place where you probably already have one lying around.

Also, like make, it encourages an imperative mode for project tooling and I think we should distance ourselves from that a bit further. It's nice that everybody is on the same page about which verbs are available, but those verbs likely change filesystem state among your .gitignored files. And since they're starting from an unknown state you end up with each Just command prefixed by other commands which prepare to run the actual command, so now you're sort of freestyling a package manager around each command in an ad-hoc way when maybe it's automation that deserves to be handled without depending on unspecified state in the project dir.

None of this is Just's fault. This is people using Just poorly. But I do think it (and make) sort of place you on a slippery slope. Wherever possible I'd prefer to reframe whatever needs doing as a build and use something like nix which is less friendly up front, but less surprising later on because you know you're not depending on the outputs of some command that was run once and forgotten about--suddenly a problem because the new guy can't get it to work and nobody else remembers why it works on theirs.
Especially when steps have been taken to ensure that the truth - no matter what is it - is undiscloseable.
