> the global monetary system was completely reorganized, not least to enable large scale exports of oil from peripheral countries to the core

Your source doesn't mention oil once, except when it links to an article about the 1973 Oil Embargo.

Bretton-Woods wasn't ended out of some grand strategy surrounding oil, it was ended because we didn't have enough gold to cover our dollars. Instead of playing the periodic-devaluation game, the monetary equivalent of a debt ceiling, we ended the farce and admitted it was fiat.
Cloudflare requires a $3,000/year business plan in order to have custom name servers. Namecheap offers this for free.

"Account/Zone custom nameservers are available for zones on Business or Enterprise plans. Via API or on the dashboard."

Update: I say this to further illustrate how they operate.
My mother taught me something similar as a child. She called it “jellyfish” and the challenge was to be completely relaxed in every muscle. Later I added a simple mental exercise (visualizing each letter of the alphabet sequentially). As an adult I sleep on demand; anywhere, anytime. I know it isn’t this “easy” for everyone (not really easy, it took a lot of practice).

So, I work until 10 or so and just head to bed. I’m almost always out in less than 10 minutes.
Google's public OAuth is intended for situations where you want to allow anyone with a Google account to login to your application, regardless of workspace. Given that, it is not a Google OAuth vulnerability that a user can login to your application using a Google account from a different workspace.

If you want to integrate Google SSO into your application and restrict logins to a specific workspace, there are other options you can use that will actually check if the user belongs to that workspace (SAML or internal OAuth).

To the extent that service providers are using Google's public OAuth and then trying to read the domain name out of the returned ID token in order to restrict logins a specific Google workspace, they are using Google's public OAuth instance for a situation it was not intended for because domain names do not map 1:1 to workspaces. However that is a vulnerability on the service provider's side, not Google's.

To the extent that a service provider offers Google SSO integration via Google's public OAuth but also via workspace restricted options, if a company selects the former instead of the latter then the responsibility for the vulnerability is on the company's side. (Slack, for example, offers both because there are some Slack groups where allowing access from any Google account makes sense, and other groups where you would want to restrict access to Google accounts from a specific workspace.)
I've heard people complain about Django many time on HN. I started using it back in the 0.96 version, so maybe its just a familiarity thing.

But I built 3 large successful applications in it in that time. I loved it. I don't use it regularly anymore since I mostly moved away from webdev, but I recently came back into contact with my largest project I build in 2018/2019 and its been running perfect this whole time and was a pleasure to dive back into.

Django just felt logically organized, documentation was on point, core was very readable (at least then).

I always just felt so productive in it. I know everyone has different opinions, experiences and products they are building, but I'm always surprised with the negative comments. I definitely prefer SSR with its reasonable though, so maybe thats part of it.
Like think for a bit that if that was the case Netflix would just move to Cloudflare free tier and Cloudflare would go bankrupt immediately.

Cloudflare's free tier specifically excludes video. See https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-applicatio...:

Content Delivery Network (Free, Pro, or Business)
Cloudflare’s content delivery network (the “CDN”) Service can be used to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.
To explain different. Cars are geared like a bike in the fastest gears, starting takes a lot of torque. Tractors are like the slowest gear like a mountain bike climbing gear. In addition a tractor motor is like a champion squatter and a car's is like a the fastest kid at your school (Olympic sprinters are still strong).

Cars spend no time at .5 mph but plenty at 60. Tractors spend almost no time above 15 and tons of time at .25mph. tractors will pull your house over. Cars won't.

You can pop the clutch in idle in 6th in a tractor and it'll likely start
was thinking the same. seems like a nice bunch of spurious cherries picked by typewriter-wielding bardmonkeys
What makes this a genocide and not every other war where far more people, including more civilians, died? And at higher ratios of the dead? You can find hundreds of videos of Israel targeting militants, Hamas using schools and hospitals as bases, and more.

Nearly a million died in the Iraq war. In a single battle, Mosul, almost as many were killed as in Gaza, including similar ratios of militants and civilians. In Ukraine, far more have been killed, both combatants and civilians - and Russia clearly targets civilians there, and they started the war (while Hamas started the Gaza war). In Syria, half a million died, mostly civilians. Ditto the Lebanese civil war. Ditto the Yemen-Houthi war.
Which uses more aggregate power, bitcoin mining or Windows anti malware software?
I've noticed this as well since our company laptops updated to Windows 11. Launching everything is slower but especially the built-in Microsoft apps like calc, notepad and mspaint. It's incredibly frustrating.
I have a lot of smaller things to complain about in Windows but you've hit the two worst for me.

I actually copied the windows 7 calculator over to my main machine because of this. For me the calculator's killer feature is loading instantly.
It's not an uncommon expression on managing generational wealth. I've frequently encountered it as:

"The first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation blows it."
Bitcoin miners are purchased with full expectation of a life-span and an ROI within that, just like all data centers. Not sure why you're bringing this up anyways.
Are you saying wages should be tied only to the difficulty of the work and not the value the labor produces?
it may be that rust tried to solve for the wrong problems, so while it may be at the global optimum, the foundation is just broken.

that said, design choices like a flat package namespace are inexcusable. even npm started to move away from it.
Its pretty ironic though. Last few years were focused on reducing CO2 output by reducing power usage etc. Now with all the AI hype we suddenly don't hear so much about that.
Regardless of how the US ranks in terms of brain drain, and how that rank is trending, it's clearly an area where the government wants to compete.
Holy shit, what a load of new age crackpottery.
> If you live in a "first world" country you should know the price of your lifestyle is always blood.

This is not only false but also implies the "X is bad so you can also do other bad things" mentality that I don't buy.

With extremely limited support from Europe. Basically, from EU countries only the UK agreed and Blair was heavily criticized for that. From [0]: "...when we went in, there were three countries: Great Britain, Australia and the United States. That's not a grand coalition. " Then Bush answered "You forgot Poland" which became a short-lived meme.

So yes, I think Blair and Bush jr should join Putin and Netanyahu as war criminals. But at the same time there is a great cibilizational divide between Europe and Russia, sadly for everyone involved.

Whose buying? For how much. But maybe for the same reason Meta alleges it doesn't sell user data, because there's 7 billion other potential users who wouldn't look fondly at it. Counter productive as long as there's other routes for growth.
Use criminal asset forfeiture, which requires a conviction. Shouldn't be too hard to secure in those circumstances.

The DSM used to break mental health disorders down into what it called the multi-axial system. Axis 1 being the least impacting diseases, and axis 5 the most severe. At some point we had so many disorders that more than 50% of the population was seen to have Axis 1 or higher mental health disorders. This meant that more of the population was regarded as mentally ill than were considered "healthy."

Rather than accept that >50% of the population being classified as mentally ill might be a sign we were thinking about things in a backwards way they just got rid of the multi-axial system in DSM 5.

Problem solved.
Elon Musk seemed to leverage Twitter to try to manipulate the US election along with a myriad of other underhanded actions.

Should Twitter be banned as a propaganda / risk to US democracy?

What about the groups linked in the wikipedia article: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the UN Special Committee to investigate Israeli practices and the United Nations Special Rapporteur ?

When my laptop is on energy saving mode, the calculator crashes when opening. The snippet tool breaks the drag in the middle and delivers a partial screenshot. The system generally feels like slideshow.

These didn't happen under Windows 10.

Few weeks ago I also had my share of problems under Debian and I'm really thinking about getting the cheapest Mac Mini M4 and re-learning every possible computer habit I have including shortcuts because I hate the current status in any non-mac os/hardware so much.

Sorry for the rant but this has been too much.
That particular story / case had a lot more context to it that we weren't given. I wouldn't be ready to place any kind of merit on it without hearing more. I also think given the OP's industry it's likely there were issues with IP reputation. Could it have been handled differently? Probably. In this case I think it would have been smarter to just part ways upfront and let the client know it's not going to work out. I suspect the contract was designed to say.. we don't see the value in this relationship.. but at this price we'll make it work type deal. I don't think that's the right way to go, but I hardly believe this is how they operate.

I've used their free -> enterprise services in multiple companies and clients. Haven't had a single bad experience with them yet. Always helpful, if a bit delayed at times.
So the deep state is smart enough to take over the corporation and inject all this secret squirrel tech, but didn't think to cook the books to make it look like a marginally-profitable (but boring) business?

It reminds me of the counterargument to UFOs where they say "so the UFO flew here from 100 light-years away, through extreme cold, deep space, intense radiation, dodged space rocks, but as soon as it came into a lukewarm atmosphere with a modest gravity and tame weather, it crashed into a field in New Mexico?"

What was Office 365 is now part of Microsoft 365 for your convenience and to prevent you from ever trying any alternative since you're all bundled in.
> all the graphs show divergence in 1971, 2 years prior

Almost none of them do. First chart: dot is before the dip and divergence. Second chart is a mess, but even then, the non-blue lines are bundled until 1975; the blue line doesn't meaningfully depart until 1973. Third chart: divergence doesn't start until 1980.

Did abandoning Bretton-Woods contribute to these changes? Probably. Is it the Mayan 2012 that this website tries to make it look like? No.
Yes, the amount of effort it takes to audit dependencies scales roughly linearly, so unless you're going to blindly install them, choosing to use a project with so many dependencies means taking on a tremendous amount of ongoing work.
"according to claude" makes it hard for my mind to give much credence to the post in a way very different from "according to Wikipedia" with a link. I intend this politely, but if I wanted to know what claude would output I would ask it myself, during the phase of the moon when the way I've chosen to word the prompt has the best chance of working.
Also Kindergarten is German :)
Would a "better" AI would do a "better" narration with a better understanding of the text? Of course that it would imply a different (and far bigger?) model.

Anyway, even if in theory it might, in practice things may end even worse than doing it with a monotone voice.
They're different concepts but they're very tightly coupled (hence why both were being discussed here). If you could be presumed guilty then your right to remain silent would be rendered moot. And the entire reason the right to remain silent was established was so that innocent people wouldn't be deemed guilty (and thus punished, tortured, etc.) merely based on being coerced into testifying against themselves. Without it you would be as good as guilty.
Yep, I'm very careful what kind of content I feed my subconscious these days.

Watching news is like begging for nightmares, and most of it's made up anyways.
we are thinking to add live monitoring data to it such as datadog or prometheus. What do you use ?
I'm using PowerPoint online to make a presentation where .pptx is required.

It's annoying. A lot of features (video cropping, changing slide master title, ...) do not work in the online version.
I literally had to ask a colleague to edit the slidemaster title for me.

Also, it's quite slow in loading pictures, videos.
My bad. Maybe I was thinking about regex extensions crate.
A lot of changed in the 70s. End of Bretton Woods, Nixon goes to China, oil shock, Southern strategy changes party politics, War on drugs starts, 1968 movements fail, FED turns to monetarism culminating in the Volker shock, Thatcher elected in UK (with Reagan shortly after).

In short it was probably mainly the neoliberal turn.
I agree more companies should look into MSFT alternatives. Not sure I agree with the rest.

Is there any real competitor to Office 365? I know my current employer would never switch as we need an on-premise email server and that basically means Exchange.

Also, we can blame Microsoft for a lot of things, but I’m pretty sure if Office and Outlook didn’t exist people would find another way to spread ransomware …

> what foods do you regularly eat that depend on having a specific color?

Probably all of them. We are super sensitive to colors.

Red meat and fish like tuna and salmon have carbon monoxide and sodium nitrate treatment just to keep them red because that's how people think they can judge quality.

> Consumers will pay up to $1 per pound more for darker colored salmon compared to salmon with lighter hues, according to research by DSM, a company that supplies pigmenting compounds to the salmon feed industry.
The probability that any person would give Brad Pitt money is nearly zero. But obviously it is not zero! We already know that some people believe weird things.

The problem (for the scammer) is to find out, efficiently, _who_ would give (a lot of) money. In the past, they sent email that had typos - I think on purpose: the probability that someone would send money is higher if he doesn't detect that.

With AI, this got _much_ easier, and scales much better: you can generate very convincing text, images, videos and interact with many, many potential victims. The story itself, it seems, doesn't need to be too convincing.
yeah, this whole article makes no sense. Nobody is going to be running their own datacentres, everyone is just going to be running it on their existing aws/gcp/azure.
A couple of extra points I've found useful:

The first test of a class of tests is the hardest, but it's almost always worth adding. Second and subsequent tests are much easier, especially when using:

Parametrised tests let you test more things without copying boilerplate, but don't throw more variants just to get the count up. Having said that:

Exhaustive validation of constraints, when it's plausible. We have ~100k tests of our translations for one project, validating that every string/locale pair can be resolved. Three lines of code, two seconds of wall-clock time, and we know that everything works. If there are too many variants to run them all, then:

Prop tests, if you can get into them. Again, validate consistency and invariants.

And make sure that you're actually testing what you think you're testing by using mutation testing. It's great for having some confidence that tests actually catch failures.
Among other things, what I don't like is the hallucinated stress. Take the classic example of:

> I never said she stole my money

It can have 7 different meanings based on which word you stress out.

The new AI voices sound very natural at a shallow level, but overall pronounce things in odd ways. Not quite wrong, but subtly unnatural which introduces some cognitive load.

Old TTS systems with their monotonic voices are less confusing, but sound very robotic.

Yes, we should also forbid books published by Chinese publishing companies because the CPC might pressure those companies to put propaganda in the books.

We should also forbid Hollywood from selling movies in China, because as we've already seen that means the movies are being adjusted to get approval in China.

We should also forbid Chinese citizens talking to Americans, because they might convince Americans on a topic we don't can't allow American minds to be changed about.
Nope, nothing remotely along those lines. It was quite straightforward and fact-based. We were told what the questions of law were, what facts would make the verdict go one way or another, and we decide the facts based on arguments, evidence, and testimony. Those facts are applied to the instructions form the judge, and you have a verdict. Very dry and analytical, to tell the truth. The prosecutor either proved their case or not.
I feel like this response contains within it a great deal of contempt for average people and their problem solving ability.

Could you not just ask an LLM how one could host this website for free somewhere, and do the same for any logistical challenges that arise beyond that?
It's a very elegant business strategy because you have one clear focus (handle loads of bandwidth), but it can be expressed in so many ways (DNS/Caching, object storage, video delivery/streaming, static site hosting).
Get rid of behavioral advertising. You'll find that most or all of the negative things people have in mind when they say "ban social media" go away.
To be honest, I could see an argument for separating the handling of raw agricultural product from the rest of the food system. The health effects of Oreos vs. making sure our eggs don’t have bird flu are quite different regulatory concerns.

Most of the complaints I've read about Django on HN have to do with ASGI support - which Django added. They're valid but outdated complaints.

It's worth recognising that a year ago gpt-4 was the cutting edge, and today you can now run a gpt-4 class model on a macbook pro (with lots of ram, sure).
This seems like a suspiciously bold statement. Both in the assertion that these groups had achieved universal literacy, and in that other groups hadn't been at least as literate. Japan comes to mind, wrt the latter. Literacy, if not universal, was also widespread across the Muslim world.
This mean searching through time and changes. Imagine prod is on fire and api returns 500. Often you need to check through logs, git, cloud consoles, kub configs etc... with the time machine, Anyshift will directly return the list of 5 changes that occured during the week, including the autoscaler and who did the change
I'd love to see a design that uses a dirt-cheap uC, because the PIC16F1782 chips he had laying around are $2.50 each on Mouser!

Edit: Tried to buy these (either PCBs, the BOM, or ideally fully assembled boards) and holy shit I've never seen a worse website than oshwlab/easyeda. So far: clicked 'purchase parts,' had to sign up, captcha was at max strength and had to agonizingly select slowly fading in cards over four times; clicked to send code; code took a while to get here and captcha expired; entered code but it had ambiguous "i" vs. "l" vs. "1" and I entered the wrong one; repeat captcha, this time only two pages of slowly fading cards; click to send code again; enter code; captcha expired; enter captcha again, enter code again; told I already have an account (I do??); go to forgot password; solve another long captcha; click to send code; captcha expired; enter code and captcha; password reset; get taken to generic landing page; go back to main site and click 'purchase parts' again; says I'm not logged in. log in again; taken to generic landing page; go back to main site and click 'purchase parts'; page loads...takes me to "lcsc" and tells me to make an account. JFC.

Windows 11 is so bad. But I also don’t like what Apple does, with locking down their devices, the terrible iOS 18 changes, the upselling of their other services, the censorship, etc. There’s really no alternative though - I still find Linux to be unusable for daily use because random things don’t work well with it, but also mainly because battery life on Linux laptops is terrible. How do we get out of having just these two choices?
> the US left the gold standard which meant currency could be created by the central bank

You have the causality backwards. We left the gold standard because we created too much currency and were facing a run [1].

Nobody knows and it doesn't matter. Even if I knew the correct answer today it will be changed to something else equally nonsensical in a month or so.
I'm surprised. I've been blocking Jordan Peterson videos for years from YouTube, and I still get recommended something with him in it weekly. I also don't watch political videos generally on the platform.
Make the smoothest learning gradient possible. It helps a lot with kids to increase the complexity over time. Riding a full bike has a steep learning curve. Riding a bike with training wheels then taking them off is a steep transition. Avoid large discontinuities.
I'd assume it's somewhat easier this way than building a net-worth of €830k through working long hours for decades.
