To be fair, the question of whether it’s historically accurate is irrelevant because the film obviously doesn’t depict real events with real cardinals… even to the viewer who knows nothing about who is who in the real-life Catholic hierarchy, the terrorist event that triggers a major plot twist should be a big clue that this is a fictional thriller, not a documentary. Apart from that, the setting is contemporary so history has nothing to do with it.

So it’s a gossipy political thriller where the setting is the Vatican, not the White House or the House of Lords. The question remains: is it a reasonably faithful depiction of the way a real papal conclave operates, in both procedure and the negotiation/clique-forming/decision-making process? Catholic friends of mine who know much more than I do about what goes on in Rome actually have the opposite fear: that it is all too realistic and exposes too much about the power games that go on instead of earnestly seeking the good of the faith, and of the faithful. If that’s the case, then in the long run it can only be good because, as Christ Himself said: “you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

Edit: to be fair, there are some flashbacks in the film to historical events taking place in Latin America, IIRC these are also fictionalized but yeah, I could imagine someone who knows the history of that particular situation being able to say that it's innacurately depicted; however that's not the key theme of the film's narrative, which is a contemporary papal election. By contrast the film "The Two Popes" does deserve the historically-inaccurate tag, because it depicts a meeting between two real-life people which definitely never happened and is purely the imagination of the playwright who asked himself "what if?" In that case, I do wish that the film would preface itself by making it clear that it is purely a flight of fancy in order to explore ideas around faith, theology and succession because I'm sure a lot of people really do believe that Francis did have private conversations with Benedikt and received his endorsement.

It takes a village to raise a child, and modern society is not conducive to such an environment.
>I hate the cost excuse. People in Africa have kids with no money.

In 2022, the infant mortality rate in Sub-Saharan Africa was 49 deaths per 1,000 live births, while the infant mortality rate in the United States was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births. Cost isn't excuse. Cost is what for example decreases infant mortality. And that is just the start what the cost does, all the way to the better education and beyond.
I think such a guide would be great.

My perspective:

A lot of people who operate servers (including me) just want to view and search their logs -- fast and convenient. Your tool provides that. They don't care about whether the backend uses ClickHouse or Postgres or whatever, that's just a pesky detail. They understand they may have to deal with it to some extent, but they don't want to have to become experts at those, and to conclude everything by themselves, just to read their logs.

Also, those things are general-purpose databases, so they don't tell the user how to best set them up so your tool can produce results fast and convenient. So currently, neither side helps the user with that.

That's why it's best if your tool's docs gives some basic tips on how to achieve the most commonly desired goals: Some basic way to get logs into the backend DB (if there's a standard way to do that for text log files and journald, probably fine to just link it), and docs on what indices Telescope needs to be faster than grep for typical log search tasks (ideally with some quick snippet or link on how to set those up, for people who haven't used ClickHouse before).

So overall, it's fine if the tool doesn't do everything. But it should say what it needs to work well.

That is a least bothering aspects of opposition to me. Whats frustrate me is how people still believe in politics even though nothing much really change. Debt, taxes and inflation driven by greedy politicans will increase, uneconomical spending and socialism dependence on state rising. Most wouldn't get any penny without fundings from our taxes. Or mortgage. We have ridiculous amount of state employees (highest police members per citizen), heavy bureaucracy, 50 thousand new regulations every year. It's not sustainable both for economy and sake of mind.
Thermal insulation is usually better in concrete apartments. Also, when I was working in the US, the places I lived were mostly "cardboard" houses by default. In Germany, I don't have much choice. So in my case, it's not even weird flex.

> Otherwise bus travel is too slow and unreliable for people working 40h+

This feels like a very US mindset.

In many other places buses are very reliable and cities are built around them e.g. dedicated bus lanes and so they are often much faster than driving.
Kind of tangential, but one thing I realized recently I didn't get about oauth2 (or openid), social logins for that matter: when you click on the login button, you're sent to whatever site the site you're logging in to wants to send you. It could be a fishing page or whatever. Is that not a significant issue?

I've never seen any warnings about this - I feel like generally it's touted as a better (practical, secure) alternative than having your own per-site email address and password, and most identity providers are careful to say "are you sure this is the site you want to log into" (mostly because people are abusing oauth2 for logins), but nobody says "hey, triple check before clicking an off-site login link!"

I feel like there needs to be browser-side integration that keeps track of which identity providers you have, and which ones you've previously used on which sites. Somehow facebook pushed passkeys through, so it's not like browser-site cooperation can't happen in the login space.

IIRC there were some oauth2 alternatives years back but I don't think they went anywhere. It'd be nice to get rid of all the cruft in the standard about http logins, maybe support flows that don't rely so heavily on DNS, etc etc too.

Yes. On the other hand the global population boom is a recent phenomenon on historical terms (it started in the 20th century) and is the main cause of our current environmental problems.

Thus, arguably a lower population is the best long term solution for a sustainable human presence on this planet while maintaining or expanding living standards, but indeed this comes with big challenges (which governments and obviously business interests do not want to face).
Frustrating this law comes from my country, which seems determined (for now) to be at the vanguard of draconian over-reach. It isn't hard to see this being extended to SDRs.

I fear for the day that the state insists on limiting our computing choices to sanitised controllable devices, and that having a root-access programmable computer is viewed by them with the same suspicion as keeping Great Grandpa's old service revolver in the attic.
> it holds the operators of those systems to the same standards to which we hold traditional publishers

This is not really true though, is it? Involving OFCOM holds the internet to broadcaster standards, which is very different from print standards. We ditched print censorship and "think of the children" in the Lady Chatterly case, long ago.

> I think the Investigatory Powers Act (which allows for this spat with Apple) is a terrible piece of legislation.

It is. Long ago I was briefly involved with the UK Campaign for Digital Rights campaigning against it. Nowadays that work is being done by the Open Rights Group (UK HN readers check it out!)

The deeper problem is the UK security services got stuck in counterinsurgency mode during the Troubles, and then the War on Terror, and that infects everything with paranoia. There's no way to tell these people "you are fighting yesterday's threats".
East Asian cultures like Japan and South Korea are extremely chauvinistic when compared to Western societies. Gender roles are still strong and women are expected to be a "good wife" taking care of kids, house chores, etc.

It's no surprise that educated ones will reject that, as a sibling comment mentions, Japanese women labour participation is lower than in Western societies.
Depending on who they worked for, they may sign a document that says you will be hacked and monitored for the rest of your life.

> but I would expect buses that carry 20 passengers each

FWIW, that's a _tiny_ bus. Typical city buses take 80-100 people, articulated buses about 150. At peak time on important routes they'll generally be mostly full.

The major capacity limit on buses is stopping. On busy systems at peak times, you'll tend to get clumping at stops, as similar routes line up one after another.

No, it is just the messed up rental market in Stockholm. Government and HOA controls don't let people be landlords for more than 2 years of a time and require you to ask permission from the HOA and to have a reason.

The actual apartment I was renting was pretty well kept though, proper cleaning, air ventilation inspections, very good laundry room, fully renovated less than 10 years before I moved in. The apartment I bought however was similar conditions.

It is possible to get a first-hand rental contract but it takes years upon years and you can never get something in the location you want.
What you said doesn't refute the point.

India has low tax compliance, so people who pay taxes (middle-class, salary jobs, no way to hide income or wealth) shoulder an unfair part of the overall tax burden. This is obviously being worked on by the government, but it remains true.

Once you add up the expenditures from double-spending (for example private health insurance, private retirement saving, private school, toll roads) the tax burden is well above what you would pay in an EU country.
The solution is lower interest rates - for both markets.

The problem is, regardless of the confidence number, you can scan and mark document for grammatical errors.

In VLM/LLM powered methods, the missing/misred data will be hallucinated and you can't know whether something scanned correctly or not. I personally scan and OCR tons of personal documents, I prefer "gibberish" rather than "hallucinations", because they're easier to catch.

We had this problem before [0], on some Xerox scanners and copiers. Results will be disastrous. It's not a question of if, but when.

I personally tried Gemini and OpenAI's models for OCR, and no, I won't continue using them further.

Yes, huge improvements. Latencies are super low.

The stability is not perfect yet. Sometimes it crashes but stable enough for me as a daily driver.
depends on the user. The short answer is it’s worth it if your wifi airspace is very congested or if you have a use case for wifi 7 speeds, such as moving large files around your LAN often.

The 6ghz band has poor range but this can be a benefit actually. It means your neighbors 6ghz signal can’t flood your home like their 2.4ghz and 5ghz can. So there’s very little interference on the 6ghz band. This also means a more stable connection and a little lower latency.

If your wifi works well today i wouldn’t bother upgrading. Unless it’s a fun hobby purchase.
I assume you are not suggesting that so long as it's possible to choose to be a hermit in the deep woods, then your technology use is all optional.

In any case, stone tools are technology. Making fire requires technology.

I'll set aside people who need technology to live (clothes are technology, but so is a CPAP machine).

I'll set aside how places are increasingly going cash free (cash is technology, and credit cards are more advanced technology, and phone payment requires even more technology).

Take my gym. Last year they switched to QR phone entry. The QR code changes every few seconds, so you can't print out the code and take it in. The handful of people without a smartphone, like me, got an exception to use an RFID card.

However, those who have a smartphone were not allowed to use an RFID card, even those complaining at the front desk, angry because they did not want to bring their phone with them to the gym.

It's true they are not forced to go to the gym, though note that most other gyms around here have also switched to smartphone entry, and I chose this gym specifically because they are the only one offering a specific style of group training that I want.

Or, take some of the examples at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43137488 where people can't pay for parking because they need a smartphone app which requires not just iPhone/Android, but is only available from the local country's app store - rather difficult for foreign visitors.

It's true they are not forced to park there. They can find somewhere else and walk or take the bus.

Or, take the local college. They are a Microsoft shop. You need 2FA via smartphone app to log into their machines, access email, and the like. Signs and other info about upcoming events require a QR-code for info like time and place. People are not forced to use a smartphone, since they have a choice to not go to college, or find one of the decreasing number of schools which don't expect everyone to have a smartphone.

Or, a friend of mine lives in a city with no good mass transit options or bike options. Those who don't have a car use app-based taxi services. She knows a couple of people who choose to not have a smartphone, so they are limited to places they can walk.

In all cases there is still a choice, but it becomes increasingly Hobson's choice - and we've decided that living as a hermit, even metaphorically, is not what you mean by an alternative to not being forced, right?

> If Google has failed so far to resolve mem safety issues in their decades old giant code base, then I'd rather hear standardization ideas from someone who succeeded. If G succeeded at resolving those issues, then that's a concrete positive example for the rest of industry to consider following. They ought to lead by example.

Google saw "the percentage of memory safety vulnerabilities in Android dropped from 76% to 24% over 6 years as development shifted to memory safe languages" - which I'd say is a positive example.

It's not that they've already fully succeeded (I don't think anyone has on codebases of this size), but neither is it that they tried and failed - it's an ongoing effort.

> You and I don't need to be told to start a new project in not-C++ do we?

Don't need to be told because we all already avoid C++, or don't need to be told because it doesn't really matter if we do use C++?

I'd disagree with both. There are still many new projects (or new components of larger systems) being written in C++, and it's new code that tends to have the most vulnerabilities.
I am not interested in adhering to some arbitrary purity standard (like "memory safety" in this case). Almost always, purity ideologies are both irrational and harmful. What I am actually interested is to prevent real problems like remote code execution and Heartbleed-esque leakage of private data and for this, mitigations like CFI, shadow stacks and bounds checking are enough.

> They prevent but do not entirely mitigate.

Ignoring the semantic difference between "prevent" and "mitigate", if at the end of the day, the security provided by the two different approaches are quite similar, I don't get the problem.

If you have an example of a successful widespread exploit that would have happened even with these mitigations, please share.
