The one about Gary Underhill seems to be interesting. Guy supposedly took his own life in 1964.
A nation has a right to protect itself.

It does not have a right to use extrajudicial assassins in a foreign country to kill someone who does not actively pose a threat. In a democracy you have a right to a trial, to see the evidence against you, etc. you don’t just kill people.

By the same logic, India would be fine if Canada sent covert assassins to India to go after the assassins and the people that ordered it? Should Canada send assassins into India to go after the people that have been illegally influencing Canadian elections? After all, they pose a threat to the country, and a country has a right to defend itself…

There is a process for extradition, and international prosecution. India chose to not pursue that process, and assassinate a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.

A lot of the value of land comes from its neighbors: roads, schools, trains all cost money but make land more valuable. It's only fair the cost of those things comes from taxing the increased value of the land.
>The Security Manager was not so hard to maintain it merited a removal without replacement.

It sounds like the OpenJDK folk disagree with you, though. From the JEP:

>The Security Manager has not been the primary means of securing client-side Java code for many years, it has rarely been used to secure server-side code, and it is costly to maintain

>...Improve the maintainability of hundreds of JDK classes that currently delegate resource-access decisions to the Security Manager.

>The OpenJDK Core Libraries Group devotes significant time and energy to reviewing every change to any of these methods. Every new API must be designed, and its implementation carefully audited, with the least-privilege model in mind. However, only a tiny number of applications actually enable the Security Manager.

This seems like a big win in terms of maintainability of the core libraries.
I definitely feel this too, the motivation is there to be ready for anything, because you really have no choice even, like dad reflexes as therapy.

There’s something to this for sure from a biological survival standpoint, having kids is naturally the completion of puberty, and the growth you experience raising children has so many more dimensions than the growth you experience while you’re still the one being raised.

It may very well be something more fundamental to health than we currently appreciate in modern life. Or perhaps it’s some kind of “law of equivalent exchange” where we have merely traded poisons from one cause of death to another, in terms of life expectancy.

It seems we can more easily avoid war and disease and famine today but modern living can end up being a trap that causes a significant number of people to experience a “failure to thrive” of sorts.

Most Google devices do parallel local processing and cloud processing.

The local processing has less latency and works on unstable internet. It's perfect for tasks like 'set an alarm for 8am', even if offline.

The remote processing is good for better accuracy of complex words and queries.

The results are combined in the UI, making the whole thing feel less leggy (although IMO it still feels laggy to have to wait 1-2 seconds after asking a query to get results).

The curious things was that early in Erdogan's reign, that is during the 2000s, Turkey seemed to be genuinely making progress, especially in terms of economic policy and outcomes. That's when he was still making fairly orthodox reforms more or less along the lines required by the EU for aspiring new members. (Yes, neoliberal reforms work!)

In the last few years we saw more 'interesting' economic ideas from Erdogan, like that high interest rates cause inflation.

Yes, humans can (I have) driven in extreme rain or fog where one can barely see one car length ahead. How? Simply by slowing down until you can see a few seconds ahead so there's time to stop if anything shows up in the field of (very limited) view.

The tesla software just continued at constant speed even though it couldn't see anything, completely oblivious.

I think my understand is that because the work itself is already covered by different laws (eg trespassing), you had the opportunity to make a verbal contract with the person who took the photo. And the same in reverse: because they used your camera, they implicitly agreed for you to have the right to that copy of their work. If they didn’t get the copyright automatically, then they wouldn’t be able to assign it to you as a condition of being present, leading to other potential legal complications where works could be created but where nobody holds the right to assign them to someone else, since nobody was 100% responsible for the creativity that generated it

> It doesn’t sound like they are referring to newborns needing to be physically present to get a SSN.

Correct. They already tried to take care of that two weeks ago.

Since 1988, through a program called Enumeration at Birth (EAB), as part of their state's birth registration process (typically done at the hospital when the baby is born) allowed the parents to request Social Security registration. The state would then automatically send the information to the Social Security Administration (SSA) for processing.

Last week the acting SSA director ordered EAB cancelled in Maine, so parents would have to go to an SSA office to register their newborn [1][2][3]. The DOGE website showed that EAB was cancelled in Arizona, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, and Rhode Island (but did not list Maine).

There was enough objection to this that they then reversed the cancellation in Maine. The acting director said

> I recently directed Social Security employees to end two contracts which affected the good people of the state of Maine. The two contracts are Enumeration at Birth (EAB), which helps new parents quickly request a Social Security number and card for their newborn before leaving the hospital, and Electronic Death Registry (EDR) which shares recorded deaths with Social Security. In retrospect, I realize that ending these contracts created an undue burden on the people of Maine, which was not the intent. For that, I apologize and have directed that both contracts be immediately reinstated

He also said that EAB and EDR remain in place for every state.

As far as I know there was no explanation given on why specifically Maine, or on why those 5 other states were on the DOGE site.

The article says they took over a building on campus, barricaded themselves inside, and damaged it. It also says they rejected a deal that would have resulted in dismissal of the charges but it’s not clear why.

That’s certainly a very different situation than simply being a protestor. I understand that everyone has different definitions of what protest means, but regardless it’s not a free pass to escape the consequences of your actions.

If any current or former students had taken over a campus building, locked others out of using it, and damaged it they’d probably end up in jail with a long list of charges. Having their degrees “temporarily revoked” seems like a massive slap on the wrist for the situation, not some dystopian unfair outcome.
ASLR is not security through obscurity though. It forces attacker to get a pointer leak before doing almost anything (even arbitrary read and arbitrary write primitives are useless without a leak with ASLR). As someone with a bit of experience in exploit dev, it makes a world of a difference and is one of the most influential hardenings, next to maybe stack cookies and W^X.

It's not enough to have personal optimism you need a community/culture of optimists.

~10 years ago that was there in a big way for tech. It was peak YC prestige. HBO's Silicon Valley brought the start-up struggles/drama into the mainstream. Most people who worked hard were rewarded. Large in-person tech meetups provided a venue to share your success story.

The tech industry now feels bloated, mundane, low-value/rent-seeking, or as a net-negative for society. It isn't fun to share your success since it comes off as boasting instead of inspiring.

How I miss 2014. I was productive, optimistic, and energetic in a way I can barely comprehend now.

Peertube is software to run a video hosting website. There are many unaffiliated sites that use it. Would you expect nginx.org to drop you "into" nginx and complain that it is not Facebook, or would you expect to find information about nginx?

Build a bunch of apartments above the grocery store. Then divide the land tax across all floors. Voila, the grocery store lowered its tax.

If the startup is able to produce a lot of value without taking much land, shouldn't that by encouraged? The employees will all buy houses with their earnings and pay tax on that land. They'll invest their money in other companies that also pay land tax. They'll buy groceries, supporting the store you mentioned. Etc.

The startup's URL is also "land" and should be taxed.
> Just another reason not to invest time and money into it.

No it’s not. Not unless you plan on taking over campus buildings and vandalizing them, I guess.

The degree isn’t some unrevocable item that you own. It’s an endorsement from the university. There are contractual agreements involved and it doesn’t take much imagination to think of how taking over a campus building and vandalizing it (while encouraging current students to join you) is grounds for them to cancel the degree.

We had kids younger (very early in our 20s) and while it was difficult financially for a time, I definitely wouldn’t change it. Especially after seeing friends who waited. I think having younger kids in your later 30s and 40s put some hard miles on you.
Thanks for this, as an average HN user I didn't click the link and just skimmed the comments thinking how is it possible that they reduced the runtime to 10% of the original. This post clarifies that for me (now on to actually read the blog post).
As a user, I'm not certain I completely agree.

Yes, I don't want apps accessing my messages surreptitiously. Points there.

However, what's wrong with allowing another app to post messages to my messages?

If I don't want it, let me turn them off. Maybe, as a UI expert company, it's easy "block app from sending me messages" when I get a message. Seems like something that should be fairly transparent to the (potentially misbehaving) app.

I use a Garmin, and Android, and I use it for messages all the time, it's great. I can't imagine not taking them. It's easy for me to block stuff I don't want, could it be easier, maybe...

But my point is this isn't something unreasonable for a user to want.

As a general aside, it seems when I hear about Apple products anymore, they are locked down, unintuitive, and generally just unpleasant. I even tried an Apple device again recently...eugh.

You're referring to this document [1] which has been declassified in 2017 [2] but this 2025 release comes up with some redaction removed - but essentially not providing more information. There's nothing interesting. The document opens up with a quote from a magazine (which people are mistaking for a statement of a document itself) and then goes over into detail of the work that guy has been doing - which is pretty mild. The whole document seems to fact-check the quoted magazine.

Absolutely true, especially for small landlords. It can be a legitimate job, and as a renter it’s very easy to get caught up in the idea that everyone is just coasting and taking money once you have 2-3 very bad landlords. My current landlord is a kind person, even if my rent has been raised every year.

But also, sorry, if you’re paying for a property management company, you’re not a landlord you’re a landowner, and people pay you a tithe to use it.

The space between the perception of America and China internationally has much less space between them a lot of Americans would prefer to acknowledge. I don't have much recent data, but I would suspect international sentiment on the whole right now is more favorable of China than the US in absolute terms.

That’s an unnecessarily reductionist take. The value is obviously having demonstrated that you’ve completed the studies required.

The degree is simply the formal proof. If a degree is revoked, that’s a secondary signal that the studies were marked as completed at one time but something later happened that was so egregious that the university felt the need to rescind any endorsements.

Discovery of rampant cheating to achieve graduation would do it. Taking over a campus building and vandalizing it seems like a reasonable thing to cause the university to want to rescind their endorsement of you.
