It might work the first time, but as someone commented elsewhere, people will come back, with the means to defeat/counter it by some means or another. It's pretty stupid to escalate peaceful protest like this, unless you want the conflict to escalate. Maybe that's exactly the intent, to justify extreme response to any escalation by protestors.
Trump is threatening their country, and since Canadians cannot vote in the US, there's only one effective way they can drain Trump's power, which is economic warfare. Economic downturn is well correlated with incumbents losing an election.

You are asking Canadians to put some random group of Americans' interest in front of their own self-interest. I think the ship has sailed.

Yeah, there is a conflict between "use your very best fingers for everything" versus "spread the work across fingers so that it gets done sooner."

Let me explain a bit more what I am thinking. I imagine that the central bank issues many many 1 cent digital notes. Each note is unique (much like cash) with a unique private+public key. In this system, whoever holds the private key for a note owns the note (similar to cash).

Now, the central bank also issues to each citizen a device that holds all the notes they own. If I want to give you a cent, I transfer the private key to you (by holding our devices close - no internet needed). But in order for you to trust that I indeed deleted the private key off my device, I need some sort of confirmation. This confirmation comes from a security enclave (consisting of a processor and the memory that stores the private keys) within my device. It should be able to emit a cryptographic certificate signed by some bank issued key that confirms the transaction.

The idea is that security enclave can't be hacked to extract either the bank issued key or the algorithms that the enclave performs.
Spending compute to encode a string just to decode it with more compute, because the whole purpose was to print the decoded string seems... a bit wasteful at best. I don't understand.

Sure, the excuse here might be that the generated QR code can be used to connect other devices as well, but if that was the reason, it would have been mentioned i guess. It seems like the QR code is only generated & displayed to be read from screen... It seems to me– a judgmental moron– almost as if chatgpt came up with this...

Sorry if this sounds harsh, most likely i am wrong and don't get something here. And usually i wouldn't have commented because my comment doesn't bring something positive to the table...

That doesn't make sense. Consumer goods have become cheaper and more accessible because the third world has become more productive and richer. If they become richer still it will be because they become more productive still, which will mean their exports will be more competitive (cheaper).

Ask HN: What's the strategy behind the US Administration's trade policies?
For some time now, I’ve been trying to zoom out and understand the bigger strategy behind the current U.S. administration’s actions.

So on the surface, many of these moves, such as the increasing application of tariffs, even on close allies like Canada, seem disruptive, counterproductive, and damaging to both the U.S. economy and long-term international relationships that United States have been building for decades.

Considering how much US relies on many of these trade partners, I find it hard to believe that these actions are purely shortsighted or reactionary. There must be a broader strategic goal in play.

However, from my perspective, the logic behind it isn’t entirely clear and I refuse to believe that POTUS and his closest advisors haven't thought this through. From what I have witnessed, Republicans come across to me as the party that engages in the most strategic maneuvering compared to their rivals.

All that said, can someone please chime in and shed light on this for me?

Current mainstream card payment systems allow for offline payments (at some risk) as long as the merchant terminal has intermittent access.

EMV payment chips probably have enough compute and storage to do some sort of stored value application. With the right design, you could store transactions on the card and the terminal, and when using an online terminal, build a tunnel from the card to the issuing bank to a) report the card stored transactions and b) refresh stored value for offline transactions.

You don't need a block chain, PKI should be enough. Especially in countries without 5000 banks and 5000 credit unions which are pretty much banks.

> I reacted negatively to the idea earlier that agency should be considered an aspect of intelligence.

In the hopes of clarifying any misunderstandings of what I mean... I said "agent" in Russell's sense -- a system with goals that has sensors and actuators in some environment. This is a common definition in CS and robotics. (I tend to shy away from using the word "agency" because sometimes it brings along meaning I'm not intending. For example, to many, the word "agency" suggests free will combined with the ability to do something with it.)

I recommend Russell to anyone willing to give him a try. I selected part of his writing that explains why his definition is important to his goals. From page 2 of https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~russell/papers/aij-cnt.pdf

> Even if a doctor knows that men are 2x as likely to get heart disease, he still needs to check his female patients for it if they exhibit the symptoms.

Interesting example, because it's actually one that shows these things are useful. Women have worse outcomes despite lower incidence, because of underreported/played-down chest pain from familiarity with monthly cramp pain. So where we men might be saying 'oh god, my chest, it's the worst thing imaginable', in triage it pays to know that the woman saying 'ooh, my chest feels a little tight' is actually experiencing exactly the same thing.

The original purpose of the registry was to tell COM where to look for a DLL file given a GUID. Then COM could create instances of objects.

You still see that in there with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

You can technically create objects without the registry, if you load up the DLL, then call the exported functions to create a Factory object, then use the factory object to create instances. It's what COM itself does.
> The whole "Lets port everything to Rust" is so misguided.

Well, good thing that nobody sane is saying that then.
This is an area the newer languages get right - I don’t think Rust or Go has any undefined behavior? I wish they would have some kind of super strict mode for C or C++ where compilation fails unless you somehow fix things at the call sites to tell the compiler the behavior you want explicitly.
I think the intended purpose are cases like hotels where they really should be offering QR codes but instead just display text on the TV. If you control the display device then definitely just use the QR code but the problem this solves is when someone else has made bad choices.

You're not the sole arbiter of what's real and not real news. Misleading on the account of asserting so.

Thanks for the fun fact? Why would it ever matter what you heard of or didn't hear of? Oh, 'cause it's supposed to be misleading! In that what you heard of exists, and what you didn't hear of doesn't exist. In the same fashion the news isn't real, now the (supposed) taxonomic rank of the weapon isn't real either. Got it. But then, you're not the sole arbiter of this either. Misleading on the account of asserting so, once more.

Because if you think it now sounds like massacre, then it does, right? Misleading on the account of asserting an opinion as fact. Also speculation, and at that, speculation of (malicious) intent.

The short answer is start your own company and to contract. The more realistic you are about your abilities the quicker you’ll find work. For IT the big three are network analysts, database administrators and system administrators (cloud?). Endless jobs. I wish I had known that then but I was in telecom network engineering. It’s a limited field.
You're a lot more limited more limited to the kinds of APIs you can safely encapsulate in C. For example, you can't safely encapsulate an interface that shares memory between the library and the caller in C. So you're forced into either:

- Exposing an unsafe API and relying on the caller to manually uphold invariants

- Doing things like defensive copying at a performance cost

In many cases Rust gives you the best of both worlds: sharing memory liberally while still having the compiler enforce correctness.
The topics[0] feature in the evolution extension is probably even closer to Git branches, since they are completely mutable and needn't be a permanent part of your repo.

But then you tacked this on to the end and it's entirely unnecessary. The linked article is actually a very good one about recognizing bad faith use of labels.

Of course whether or not the label is legitimate is itself perfectly reasonable to discuss.

> the multivariate findings may help answer a question people have been puzzling about in psychology for quite awhile: Why do we have all these studies showing that male and female behaviors are so similar, yet people in everyday life continue to think as if males and females were very separable? It is possible that people in everyday life are actually closer to the truth because when we reason about personality, we rarely reason about one trait at a time.

> rarely do we consider the harm that could be caused by ignoring sex differences! One can think of many ways in which pretending something doesn't exist may actually cause greater harm psychologically than accepting the facts of the matter.

> I am a strong believer that individual differences are more important than sex differences. Nevertheless, sex differences are also part of the picture, and may be particularly detrimental to a relationship if all partners go into the marriage thinking that they "should not exist", instead of coming to a healthy acceptance of sex differences
