Technically this is a consumer cooperative rather than a worker cooperative model.

But what you described truly is the most direct way to align the interests of stakeholders/users with the direction of the company/product. A downside I think in this case is that it becomes even more imperative to know who your “customers” are, as pivoting will be quite difficult.
Maybe you could require hashcash, so that people who wanted to do automated searches could do it at an expense comparable to the expense of a human doing a search manually. Or a cryptocurrency micropayment, though tooling around that is currently poor.

Having a separate PIN isn’t the same thing. Unlocking the disk with your login password means it’s just as convenient to have an encrypted drive as not (for the typical user who doesn’t need the thing to be able to boot by itself) and it can be the default configuration.

You do realize that Euroean countris also decide what drugs and procedures they will cover on their national health plans too? Because you have a more limited set of options, your doctors will know what is covered and only recomend tose options, but it doesn't mean there aren't things that aren't covered.

It's only because SpaceX lowered the bar so much that if it clears the launchpad it's deemed success.
The wikipedia page is quite in depth [0] but is quite dense and took me a few goes to understand. They're fascinating to understand, and they really are mechanically simpler than a standard ICE + gearbox drive line. I got nerd sniped one day figuring out how my Toyota Crown "gearbox" worked only to discover it doesn't really have one. They don't even have a real neutral gear, the wheels are always mechanically linked to the engine.

They require much more active computer control to work though so they aren't logically simpler in my opinion, but mechanical simplicity is what makes the biggest difference.

There are certainly better more approachable sources though so I leave this as an option as the info is there, but can take a moment to understand.

My aunt bought one of the first ones. It was the first time I experienced a car driving fully silent, creeping up the driveway. Was pretty surreal at the time.
It's called stochastic terrorism, and a society built on top of terror and racism would probably tell you it's "actually a sign of cognitive flexibility and social intelligence."

I had the same gut reaction as you. I was going to defend the joke as not being racist. Until I thought about it for a few minutes, and came to the conclusion that it's obviously racist. Whenever you have a gut reaction like that, you NEED to look deeper.
Rugged Flexibility (concept from the book Master of Change)
I wrote a blog post on the book Master of Change. I am not paid or rewarded to do this, but I am glad someone recommended it to me. I feel I should share it with others as it was really helpful to me in understanding your own position in a life that seems to change all the time. Ignore my post if you wish, but take your advantage and learn of the concept "rugged flexibility" - it might be helpful to you, too.

and I don't know whether it can be reset for a date in December or not. Cornell seemed anxious that it should not come off too close to Christmas, and of course New Mexican practice would support him. I will take this up with the Judge and with Hanna the moment I can get rid of the brief. Meanwhile I would like to know whether there is anything else in which I can be useful to you, since it behooves me to be diligent in view of uncomfortable relations with the present management.

I really don't know, we never talk about humidity here, only about rain (it rains few days each year, but a lot).

Apparently it's more than 60% year long: https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-per...

I agree climate is a bit special in south California, but what is usually done here when a fire is near a house is for the owner to sprinkle it before the fire is coming; if you take time to sprinkle the roof (which is the only part containing wood here) there is less chance for an ignition.

Yes, I can confirm (as the creator) that it is not a NYT game. I wanted to create something as simple as Wordle, but that didn't rely on luck.
I presume that the author put NYT in the title to catch attention. I can't think why else.
Yes I agree. It should be OOB like it is with MacOS. But you can set the PIN (they call it PIN, but you can enter any password) the same as your PW.
Keeping your password in memory like that is pretty sketchy IMO. Then again, that's exactly what the fingerprint reader on my Lenovo tries to do if you set it up (though it uses a token and not the full password).

The reason TPMs are used is the unfortunate reality that most passwords are absolute shit. Very few of them are longer than 12 characters and even fewer don't have numbers and special characters at easily guessable positions. A TPM generates an actually secure key, and the brute force protections inside of it will make sure even quite insecure passwords don't get brute forced easily.

Another problem with this approach is that your password can be reset, remotely if it's attached to a domain. You can turn off a laptop, alter the domain password, boot it, and log in with the new one, even if you've forgotten the old password. With your proposed solution, you'd be disconnecting the password from the encryption password.

At that point, you might as well set the password to be the same as your login password and enable automatic login. You'll need to update both when they change anyway.

This TPM+PIN solution is actually the easiest, most common mitigation recommended for all of Bitlocker exploits I've seen.
Thanks...?
If you start the configuration of the Linux kernel and you go to "Device Drivers", then to "USB Network Adapters", you will notice that there are close to 50 such device drivers.

That should tell you that there are plenty of different USB Ethernet Adapters that you can find when buying one.

Among those that I have encountered more frequently have been several kinds of Realtek, and of ASIX, and of Aquantia.

Especially among the faster USB Ethernet adapters I doubt that there are many without custom drivers.

Some people may not notice this, if they are using only fat Linux kernels, with all the possible device drivers being enabled and compiled, but if you use a streamlined kernel, e.g. for instant booting, you may need to add a device driver whenever you buy such an Ethernet adapter.
Resale values are lower in US because they factor in the 7.5k USD tax credit and the state tax credit mostly, there is plenty of demand for used teslas for example.

LoL, the algorithm is the only reason TikTok was able to dethrone both Meta and Alphabet in short form content (also Snap but who gives a damn about that loser).

TikTok even put their algorithm workings out there in the internet, as part of public presentations, yet Google and Facebook being unable to replicate something that's anywhere close to performant compared to TikTok is evidence of the moat ByteDance has.

Improvement of the ozone hole wasn't from millions of consumers making different choices, it was from government regulation and choices of the few leading corporations in particular industries.

Efficient lighting is a mix of regulation against worse lighting and individual consumer economic self-interest, lowering their electrical bill (and sometimes longer-lasting bulbs).

Neither of these are examples of large numbers of people choosing to sacrifice something for a common goal.

Open source just gives away the code, without setting up resources for the people who work on it. If I charge for the service, which is owned by the members, I could presumably pay upkeep (hosting, dedicated workers...etc).

As far as I know this is how places like REI or some groceries work. They are essentially customer owned. I'm not an expert in this, which is why I was asking for advice.
I work at a worker-owned IT company that has offices in three states and has been in existence for 20 years. We do not provide any kind of SaaS service but I can assure you it is possible! My suggestion is to reach out to the Tech Worker Coop Peer Network for the USFWC:

https://www.usworker.coop/programs/peer-networks/

They will probably have ideas.
Good luck!

PS an LLC is definitely a good way to go, but some states (e.g. NY, MA, CA, MN, etc) have dedicated worker coop company types you can create.

> Who really owns TikTok? Who is the true decision-maker behind the scenes? Who is so wealthy and powerful that they’re willing to let $100 billion vanish?

They're hardly "letting" it happen. What exactly can you do when the US government decides they want to smash your business and take your stuff?
If you have multiple users then you make it so any of their passwords can decrypt the drive. It’s pretty simple to do this securely. Encrypt the drive with a random key. Derive keys from all the passwords. Use each of those keys to encrypt the drive key and store those encrypted keys. On boot, the user enters their password and then this is used to decrypt the disk key.

This also allows you to set up other keys, so that for example a company IT department can have a recovery key for the computer without needing to know your password.

This means your disk encryption security is now the limited by the worst password of any user, but that’s still a million times better than having the key be available to the system with no password at all.
At least the set of approved drugs is known. In the US you don’t know until you try to fill the orecription, then it becomes a 4-way game of telephone (patient, MD, pharmacist, and insurance) with each trying to outlast the other.

Passive investing may well be in the best interest of each individual when regarded separately and yet when everyone does it, makes the market worse and riskier for everyone. Which from what I can tell is what TFA is arguing. It’s like a giant society-wide prisoner’s dilemma.

> Is this not the underlying argument for SBR? Buy and hold and have on your books something that has on paper appreciated, similar to Gold?

Exactly. And the best part about it, to me, is that literally anyone in the world can own Bitcoin and is aware that nation states will be buying it.

Unlike Gold, for now, Bitcoin's price can't be manipulated by removing it from the market and replacing it with a gold-backed instrument e.g $GLD.

Also unlike Gold, Bitcoin's supply is fixed and independently auditable by anyone in the world.

Ask HN: Technical Details of TikTok Ban?

reMarkable however is not very pleasant to use as a reading device, because the screen is just not light enough.
They are. Strix Halo is going after that same space of Apple M4 Pro/Max where it is currently unchallenged. Pairing it with two 64GB LPCAMM2 modules will get you there.

Edit: The problem with AMD is less the hardware offerings, but more that their compute software stack historically tends to handwave or be very slow with consumer GPU support — even more so with their APUs. Maybe the advent of MI300A will change the equation, maybe not.

Kubernetes is very much a choose your own adventure, and it’s very easy for your infra people to choose an adventure through Dante’s 12 levels of SaaS hell.

It doesn’t help that the popular tools like Helm or Kustomize are still so over-general and YAML-happy that they only seem to add complexity.

If I was going to brave these waters again, I would probably write my own tooling / templates with very narrow customization per “service”, and all the YAML generation would be done from TypeScript or similar function calls & composition, or at worst Terraform. The Kustomize or Helm stuff that has YAML tempting YAML… painful.

Hacker: Last night a confidential source disclosed to me that British arms are being sold to Italian red terrorist groups.

Hacker: You don't see to be very worried by this information.

Sir Humphrey: Well, these things happen all the time. It’s not our problem.

Hacker: As does robbery with violence, doesn't that worry you?

Sir Humphrey: No, Minister. Home Office problem.

Hacker: Humphrey, we are letting terrorists get hold of murderous weapons.

Sir Humphrey: We are not.

Hacker: Who is?

Sir Humphrey: Who knows? Department of Trade, Minister of Defense, Foreign Office,...

Hacker: We, Humphrey, the British Government. Innocent lives are being set at risk by British arms in the hands of terrorists.

Sir Humphrey: Only Italian lives, not British lives.

Hacker: British tourists abroad.

Sir Humphrey: Tourists? Foreign Office problem!

Sir Humphrey: Government isn't about morality.

Hacker: Really? What is it about then?

Sir Humphrey: Stability. Keeping thing going. Preventing anarchy. Stopping society falling to bits. Still being here tomorrow.

Hacker: What for?

Sir Humphrey: I beg your pardon?

Hacker: What is the ultimate purpose of government if it isn't for doing good?

Sir Humphrey: Government isn't about good and evil. It's about order or chaos.

LLMs don’t actually “hallucinate”. Hallucination would be the LLM starting from a different context than was actually given to it. Given the fidelity of electronic transmission these days, that’s probably never an issue.

LLMs also have no grounding in abstract concepts such as true and false. This means they output things stochastically rather than logically. Sometimes people are illogical, but people are also durable, learn over time, and learn extremely quickly. Current LLMs only learn once, so they easily get stuck in loops and pitfalls when they produce output that makes no sense to the human reader. The LLM can’t “understand” that the output makes no sense because it doesn’t “understand” anything in the sense that humans understand things.
When the law is directed at a publisher, the 1st amendment is likely at issue. Especially if that law is singling out one publisher and not applying to any other entity, as this one is.
IMHO this would be a huge mistake by RedNote. From what I've seen, the more people learn about their Chinese peers the more they realize they've been seriously mislead by western sources about what the people, culture, and conditions are like. This has been a boon for anti-US/pro-China PR that the CCP could only have dreamed about.
Oh, this is very relaxing. Lovely game!
It doesn’t have to literally be your password. It could be some one-time proof that the user entered the correct password.

This isn’t a replacement for a TPM, it’s a way to use a TPM in a sensible manner. You have the TPM do the password -> key derivation, which lets you prevent brute force attacks (at least without a TPM vulnerability or physical chip-level attack). I imagine the TPM could also be used to securely tell the OS who did the initial login so it doesn’t have to prompt a second time.

Having a separate PIN means something else to forget and people will tend to choose the easiest option. We’ve barely managed to convince people to put up with having a password at all. If it’s a choice between password or password+PIN, people are going to pick the former. That option should be secure, and it’s not that hard to design a system where it’s more secure than having a separate short PIN.

I have a 2022 Prius Prime, and I am moderately sure with the car on and in park I can press the front window defrost button, and the ICE will turn on and start blowing hot air on the front window.

Also, while parked and plugged in at home, I can use the remote A/C button to start heating the cabin and front windshield while clearing off snow and clearing the driveway, and will be powered from my house. I'm not sure if this also works without being plugged in.
