> it is safe to assume the worst, and possibly be pleasantly surprised if/when it's shown to be a legitimate arrest.

Why would you make an assumption in this case with no evidence or data? Are you saying the majority of FBI arrests are now driven by politics? Would you be surprised to learn that there have been similar foreign national arrests under previous administrations?
What risk do they have sharing that strategy? It is an extremely basic and common strategy

>>> the use of minimalist phone and a laptop is something I'm planning for all my travel

This is a strategy recommended to literally every employee that works at a national lab. Similarly to anyone who works with a security clearance, SBU (secure but unclassified) materials, or even ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) (which includes anyone that works in aerospace. A rocket or a jet is "missile technology")

I don't think their comment has any PII or even signals to adversaries how to fight back. It's just common for people to have lots of information. Sure, adversaries can press you about this but at that point they're probably going to press you for another reason anyways.

> The dream is that new features is just new code, rather than refactoring and modifying existing code

I don't just mean new features. I mean new cross-cutting capabilities. I mean emitting metrics from an application that has never emitted metrics. I also mean adding new dimensions to existing capabilities, like adding support for a second storage backend to an application that has only ever supported one database.

These are changes that I was always taught were important to anticipate. If you don't plan ahead, it'll be near impossible to add later, right? After a couple of decades of working on real-life codebases, seeing the work that people pour into anticipating future needs, making things pluggable, all that stuff, seeing exactly how helpful that kind of up-front speculative work turns out to be in practice when a real need arises, and comparing it to the work required to add something to a codebase that was never prepared for it, I have become a staunch advocate for skipping almost all of it.

> Unfortunately in my experience people follow by example and the frog can boil for a long time before people start to realise that their time is spent mostly doing large refactors because the code just doesn't support the kind of flexibility and extensibility they need

If the engineers are doing large refactors, what in the world could they be doing besides adding the "kind of flexibility and extensibility they need?"

One thing to keep in mind when you compare two options is that unless the options involve different hiring strategies, the people executing them will be the same. If you have developers doing repeated large refactors without being able to make the codebase serve the current needs staring them in the face, what do you think will happen if you ask them to prepare a codebase for uncertain future needs? It's a strictly harder problem, so they will do a worse job, or at least no better.
I avoid Microsoft products at any cost, and have done so since I began using computers in the 1980s. I suggest others do the same. The company and its practices are unethical and morally bankrupt: and those products don’t even work well. The more people who stop using Windows the less they will have control of gaming.
We don't see it aggressively enforced in the US (unclear if that status quo will continue) but copyright infringement is also in the criminal code, and that can't be indemnified.

Civil indemnification still means a sued party must go to court and assert it as a defense, and there's no guarantee that a judge won't throw it out as invalid. These are uncharted legal waters.

Not strict, but there is underlying structure.

It's not really practical, but it is interesting to compare it structurally to programming languages.

A verb (or verbal adjective) basically forms the "root" of a clause, and typically appears at the end of it. If we related that to the concept of a function, it would be like writing them in postfix form, with whatever comes before it acting as the arguments to it.

(args)func

(WORDS)VERB

Other parts of the clause are suffixed with a spoken "particle", which denotes its purpose in the sentence. These kind of resemble optional/named parameters/keyword arguments, where we can specify them out of canonical order - but the particle behaves like the named parameter to specify which it is, and they too appear in postfix position.

(arg1:subject, arg2:object)VERB

;eg
(NOUN:ga, NOUN:wo)VERB
(NOUN:wo, NOUN:ga)VERB

Both examples mean the same, but the former would be more typical, and the latter less common.

A verb clause which appears before a noun modifies the noun, which bears similarity to a subexpression.

(NOUN:wa, ((NOUN:ni)VERB NOUN):wo)VERB

Some particles modify a sentence and come after the verb - for example, to make it a question it's followed by a particle like `ka`, `no`, `ne` or `na`. These might resembled keywords - again appearing in a posfix position.

(NOUN:ga)VERB ka

Compared with a typical programming language, Japanese is structured the opposite way - from right to left.

I Avid too. And manage two sizable (300+ virtualized editors) on-premise VDI systems, and one bigger(somedays 600+) AWS-based one that holds more Adobe than Avid. Remote experience is a bandwidth and latency thing more than anything else, but the technology is limited - for example you can't do a good ProTools system virtualized with a control surface and sync can be a real pain to sort out. As for Avid's solutions to the problem: they do it a couple of ways:

- Composer/Nexis all hosted on Cloud (AWS): fine, but pricy and the Nexis experience is meh

- Composer hosted Cloud/Nexis hosted on Prem: actually works well, but you need to have a direct-connect to AWS (the network can be pricey)

- Composer on on-premise VDI/Nexis hosted on Prem: works really well, and I have a bias towards this instead of fully in cloud for not only security reasons since the TCO is less

- Composer Cloud (or whatever they call it today - used to Composer Sphere): this is a setup where instead you stream real-time proxy to the Composer from MediaCentral. You can download hi-res media if you need to. It works ok, but it more suited for News workflows. Security is a thing with this solution.

- Adobe/OpenDrives on AWS: I mention this, because we do this too. This has all sorts of things to talk about, and is pretty good, but, again, you gotta know what you are doing.

For the on-premise ones, VMWare is our Hypervisor of choice, and, yup, we are looking for other options. And we have all the usual IT problems: domain management, updates, roaming desktops, etc.

If you are looking for 3rd-monitor image viewing (like in the old days with hardware), you can swing NDI or 2110. NDI is ok, and for 2110 you need a network and router to handle it.
Your comment assumes the sanctity of elections...

Google has been around since 1998 with people putting every dark secret and worry into search queries. Not once has someones searches been leaked by employees, despite highly political people working at these companies with a lot to gain by leaking to a journalist or similar.

Likewise with private messages on Facebook, order history on Amazon.

Big Tech has way more to lose than the small "privacy focused" alternatives, and clearly for them to go this long with this many employees its through design not luck.
None of the articles I found went into more detail than the NY Times one. What they all say in common is that the French researcher was denied entrance. If the US version is true (and I can't be sure either way), then the presupposition would be that individual was already on a DHS list, not that customs necessarily found it.

As for whether they knowingly let a spy leave, that would depend on a full timeline.
Yeah this is the last straw for me. This thread breaks pretty much every rule HN has, the comment thread is filled with absolutely vile, delusional, partisan hate and propaganda, it's been on the front page for hours and no moderator has decided to remove it, not enough users have flagged it to get rid of it, I'm officially giving up on HN at this point.

Not going to waste my time any longer flagging and downvoting political content and trying to keep HN good. The propagandists and hate have won and have majority control over it now. Every day a third of the front page is political/social/mainstream news content which isn't supposed to be here. Adios. Time to find the next place.
the "freedom" being limited in this case is the freedom to privatize otherwise public work
Huh, that's a good idea, to create a benchmark to rescue the concept of suffering from relativism. But it won't work for me. I'm very anti-death, I don't see death as an escape, or as an action at all: I'm here to live, however unpleasant it gets. Death would be no more pleasant, because being dead is not an experience. It can't logically be an improvement.

That is evidently false. If I had a longer commute it would work fine too. I have done ~2 hour road trips with it already.

You are bringing up a different point, which is that FSD arrived later than promised or at least implied (I don't know exactly how this was sold in 2017). That is self-evident at this point.
Let’s not lose sight of the cause and effect here. The Israel lobby leaned hard on Trump to stamp out any whisper of criticism against Israel. Meanwhile, groups like Betar are gunning to deport pro-Palestinian students, crowing on X about how they’ve compiled lists of critics and handed them straight to the Trump administration.

You can spot the same playbook in Germany, where they’re scheming to strip citizenship from dual-nationality migrants if they dare speak out against Israel. In Berlin, police are brutally pummeling pro-Palestine protesters—scenes you’d never expect to see in Germany.

Then there’s the clampdown in UK and other European countries on journalists and everyday folks calling out Israel’s moves in Palestine.

Across the West, these anti-free-speech tactics are piling up, all to muzzle anyone who questions Israel.
But isn't it being implicit what makes it a subtype? It doesn't have to be a pointer; integer coercion should also be considered a form of subtyping.

I don't know what to make of context here; if you're referring to whether you have a pointer to a type as context, I think it makes more sense to consider that part of the type (i.e. a pointer a A is a subtype of a pointer to B, while A is not a subtype of B)

Why did many European countries discontinue fluoridation? https://www.euronews.com/health/2024/11/23/trump-could-push-...

> However, in 1973, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that there was no legal basis for fluoridation…. The debate hasn’t been meaningfully revived since then, Hofman told Euronews Health. "People started to say, ‘Well, the government should not give us some medicine [when] we cannot choose where to buy our drinking water from," she said.

That’s the “little c” conservative viewpoint. You don’t need to prove it’s harmful. The default should be not putting chemicals in everyone’s drinking water.
Wow gorgeous vis and the restorer put in a ton of work to make it a bit of their own especially with the color variants. Kudos to them! Probably going to buy this.

As a whole the piece is amazing, but when zooming in on the details, the digital version kinda feels lifeless with too-straight lines and identical clipart. I think what gets lost in this kind of digital recreation are some of the stuff I love most from old maps: the subtle variations introduced from printing, the hand-carved lines in the hatching not being perfectly straight, the moments of bespoke difference that no standardized font or clipart captures.

The restored version is not quite the same, and that's fine especially since those details are hard to see at a glance. It's beautiful overall. I wonder though if we can use some of our newer image generation techniques to re-introduce the wonderful subtleties of the print version.
No, I’m asking if it’s possible they might just rightly or wrongly believe water fluoridation is bad.

A decade ago I ranted about Facebook to my technical friends. They all agreed that it was a terrible privacy nightmare, that eventually it would start selling that data to generate a profit, that we really ought to use something else, but in the end I had no alternative. As one of them said "If you don't have anything to hide, you have nothing to fear". I was ready with the counter, but before I could even get to the counter point he retorted "Yeah that's obviously not true, but it is the argument". At the time I didn't understand, but now I do. Fighting against these systems is meaningless for the individual. I can't stop Facebook from gobbling up all my data any more than I can dictate that the petrol in my car must be ethically sourced from Sweden.

You can't distrust your way out of Google, Amazon, and Apple storing your voice.

It was a lot easier to be a counterculture rebel when what you were counter cultural about was the driver for the printer at your research institution. When I want to pay my taxes (which I can do electronically, imagine that) I need my phone and browser and weird authentication app to work. I need them to be the ones that everybody else uses, because if I'm using some niche application, nobody is going to help me when it breaks. When an important email doesn't arrive in my mailbox, the sender isn't going to be understanding that I want my mail on protonmail that for some reason has a technical problem that day. He's going to ask me why I'm being difficult.

The Steam Deck has done well, and releasing SteamOS for free so people can install it on their own PCs is great, but I think they should make a “Steam PC” they could sell. The majority of gamers aren’t technical and buy pre-built PCs. A Steam PC with Steam OS pre-installed would make it easy for these people to game on Linux and pump up the Linux gaming share of the gaming market.

Roe v Wade was — along with all the other things he has had a hand in removing — not a good thing. But don’t take my word for it, look to what actual (female) supreme court justices have said about it: It was over-broad and questionably defensible. It was not a good ruling, and it’s nice to have that space opened up for something better to come along.

Medical trials should be financed by the corporations standing to profit from them. Tax payers should not be on the hook to check their work.

Veteran healthcare is severely overfunded. Ask any veteran who will be honest with you and they’ll say the same (Most of my coworkers are veterans, the stories are wild). You have a tiny slice of people who actually need help, and a massive cohort of folks gaming the system to be declared as “disabled” as possible, despite often having next to no actual disability. Or — people intentionally harming themselves to get more disability. Again, ask a veteran.

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of Doge, but I don’t see their efforts putting me any more at risk than Experian, EquiFax, TransUnion et. all who have already leaked all my info to anyone who might care. Oftentimes getting paid to do it!

Judges generally are the antithesis of democracy. They sit above the law and make decisions about what is legal without being subject to any popular support or potential consequences. They are by and large the least democratic aspect of our system. Marbury v Madison is the biggest of all fingers in the face of democracy. To say that an instance of the people rising up to get rid of the unelected arbiter of the law is somehow damaging “democracy” is frankly ridiculous. People en masse working together to decide how they will be governed is democracy.

The presidential pardon is at the core of our constitution and is a vital part of ensuring political prisoners can be freed. This is a case of that, and I generally support it — even in egregious cases like Biden’s entire family being pardoned of “everything everywhere all at one”, or whatever it was.

I think his track record first term was pretty decent. No wars. It was the next guy that got us in two, killing literal millions. And the other option was promising us “more of the same”. No thank you.

Generally kids don't use toothpaste with fluoride because of the risk of swollowing it. Yes, we know it's bad in high doses, which is why kids toothpaste often doesn't have it. You have to wait until they are old enough to spit when brushing.

In reality what will happen is that rich kids will be just fine because they will get their fluoride treatments at the dentist every six months.

It's the poor kids who will suffer because they don't see the dentist regularly because it's expensive, so they won't get their treatments.

This is a big part of it, actually. Content that leaks prior to launch can reduce revenues significantly. Both from lost viewership due to people already having seen it, and from negative reviews of the unfinished early edits. Many movies change significantly for the better from early cuts.
You're not really contradicting me you're actually underlining what I was getting at.

You claimed the COBOL ecosystem is too small to depend on. I pointed out that the embedded driver ecosystem is similarly small, yet we rely on it all the time. That’s a valid comparison as both involve small pools of specialists, niche tooling, long lived systems, and a steep learning curve. When I say “ecosystem,” that’s what I mean, not “tax systems” or “insurance policy engines,” which aren’t standalone developer ecosystems in the same way. Equating those with actual engineering ecosystems like COBOL or embedded drivers doesn’t really hold up.

Since you say you work in embedded then you should be well aware that embedded driver developers form a highly specialized subset, often with deep platform specific expertise and niche tooling. It is, in fact, easier to train a developer to work on enterprise COBOL systems than to become effective in low-level driver development. That’s not controversial it’s backed by experience across industries.

As for suggesting I must work for IBM because I don’t agree with your framing that’s not a serious argument. It’s not grounded in facts or reason, and doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to the discussion.

If you’re interested in debating the actual points, I’m happy to continue. If not, I’ll leave it here.

I'm happy to believe it if I can understand what is leading them to that belief, which is exactly what I'm asking. Is it a general aversion to unnatural stuff (hence my previous comment) or based on some evidence (hence my initial question) or something else (what?)?
Across the board budget cuts say nothing about supporting the scientific method. These university could easily fund their projects out of their massive multi-billion dollar endowments. We should ask why they aren't.
Having better priors can be useful, but they're no substitute for evidence. These assertions about how naive you supposedly should have been about some company are less useful than sharing evidence about what the company actually did.
> I am equally uncomfortable that other people are out there beta testing FSD.

That is probably because you are unaware how far it has gotten. Irrespective of that, a driver still needs to be there and pay attention. As soon as you take your eyes of the road for a few seconds it will warn you very prominently.

I'm going on the record here to say that FSD will be a better driver than 99% of humans in the next 2 years. I may be wrong, but I don't think I will be.
