The systems exist are in the form of "you go into a secure room with specially-networked computers and do your sensitive comms there." These are secure not only because of the use of strong encryption (which Signal does) but also because of the restricted access (which Signal doesn't). You can't accidentally add a journalist on these secure systems for the simple reason that the US government doesn't give accounts or physical access to randos (which Signal effectively does).

> Out of all of HN’s biases, the violent hatred of advertising is by far one of the most misguided.

Interesting, I perceive it exactly the other way around. I'm surprised this thread is as high up as it is, usually as per my perception, anti-advertisement sentiment gets shot down hard, presumably because a large part of the HN-crowd works for companies like google or facebook which rely on ads as a business model, or start-ups whose products are only used because users were shown ads for them.

My take: The human mind is hackable; it's just too easy and efficient to appeal to our emotions and most basic instincts. And while it was mostly fine to ignore it while it was "only" increasing consumerism, we currently see what happens when the same is applied to elections, with predictably terrible outcomes.

Your stance is still the old HN stance; the market actually works, any change that would impact the status quo is neither welcome nor needed, etc. etc. - this was the gospel for at least a decade, but we're finally awakening to the fact that hey, maybe this is actually bad, even if it made loads of money for many of us. Maybe it led us to the awful situation we're currently in, with big, ad-based monopolies, an absolute clownshow in the highest of offices and CEOs of said monopolies playing the lackeys.

Most big social developments in human history were non-serious and silly to many people before they actually happened.
There are privilege boundaries within which this fundamentally is a problem as well, for example inside banks where this could be used to silently monitor for events that could then be used to trigger frauds or other bad things.

The problem is that it is very hard to see how you can prove this is going to be safely implemented, for example, is it possible to say that your sharepoint or confluence is "safe" in terms of all the content that's in there? I do not think so...

Exactly! "Life After Parsing" [1].

IMHO C Family is a symptom of "low-level" of competence. I often get surprised by superficiality of their arguments. "Sophistry" is a useful concept (in a single word). Ad nauseam?

The thing with trains is, you have to build them on elevated sometimes anyway, just because of geography, unless if you maybe live in a super flat pace.

And a train track, is way better for wildlife. Even if you run high frequency, most of the time the track is occupied or empty for a while.

Case and point, we have trains going threw mountains and all across everywhere. And the amount of wildlife being hit is vanishingly small. Animals turn out not to be stupid. Many small animals might even survive if they are on the track.

A single train line, can replace many car lanes.

The most dangerous animals for crashes are (a) human suicide (b) cows.

> In the ideal train world you still end up with roads everywhere because "last mile" freight needs to get places and trains don't work well for it (think your kitchen trash).

This is just lack of imagination. Let me guess you are American?

You can easily have train tracks (ie trams) that connect trash collection points. And people can bring their garbage to those points with a simple cart. Just like people go shopping. At worst what you need minor trash collection points that then get moved to the major ones with tiny electric trucks.

And since the volume of such traffic is low, you can easily run that on something like bike lanes or simply in mixed traffic. And you can mostly do that in the night. This is how it already works for areas that are car-free. Its really not magic.

> Passenger trains also cannot be blocked by freight loading/unloading which means you need a separate road system.

No all you need is separate cargo stations or breakout lines. And that exists, and has existed in the past.

If a rail track is so occupied with passenger trains, then clearly there is enough demand for another line.

Most rail lines are not that occupied and can handle an occasional cargo train, you just don't run crazy large trains like in the US.

And bonus, each new rail line increases capacity far more then equivalent car line.

> but they still need to be frequent and that is rarely the case again pushing people to cars

Your argument does not make sense, bus and trains are the same. You have a 'lane' the lane has a certain capacity. For both you can decide on frequency. And on both you can instead run trucks or cargo trains. If capacity of 1 lane can't handle demand, you need another lane.

And individual car transport on one of those lanes, is by far the least efficient overall solution.

A lot of your points are literally just lack of imagination and lack of investment.

>The GP put in the work to verify his own memory, after acknowledging the gaps.

The original claim didn’t say anything about it being the experience of their son for specific questions about unions. It was much broader than that. And at least partially inaccurate, given the stated result isn’t even one of the results.

>And then you belittled him.

If asking for a higher standard of evidence for a broad claim than referencing a previous experience and then trying again, but not even sharing the link from a tool that makes it easy to share the conversation from, is considered belittling, then maybe the castrations going on in these models is the right way to go for this crowd. I, personally, aim for a more truth-seeking standard.

I’m serious. The Matrix is a movie made for entertainment. If the plot of The Matrix were “people live in The Matrix and everyone is fine with that and nothing interesting happens”, then it would’ve been an awful movie.

Again, you’re not experiencing a mundane or perfect world. It would be like being in a video game or movie, if you wanted. Some people would experience the plot of The Matrix as any of the characters. Or you could travel around the galaxy solving mysteries and fighting evil as a Jedi Master. Or you could spend some time living a quiet pastoral life in the Shire with your hobbit friends. Or you could do it all over and over again experiencing the highs and lows each time.

From this behavior, one would think support for Israel was the central pillar of the Christian faith

For some, it is their primary goal. They think the end times are near, and by escalating the conflict they hope to make it happen as soon as possible.

They support Israel because the Bible says that those that bless Israel is blessed. On the other hand, they think only some Christians will survive the end times, so any non-christians (jews included) that are hurt, doesn't really matter. It's just collateral damage in a holy war.

It is one of the reasons why this conflict is so special for many.

This is not a conspiracy, but a minority of evangelical Christians with access to lots of money that pays lobbyists. They don't even try to hide it, and you can read about this from traditional news sources that has covered this for years.
The actual issue wasn't Go over Rust, rather having key people responsible for C# design, on a Microsoft project, going for a Google language.

"Last week he sent a letter to India’s president, Droupadi Murmu, urging her to join him in a tango to celebrate 75 years of ­bilateral trade.

Xi said it was “the right choice” for the two countries to be “partners of mutual achievement and realise the ‘Dragon-Elephant Tango’”, which, he added, “fully serves the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples.”

Someone might warn the Indian government: watch out for someone who describes themselves as a dragon and you a mere animal...

And:

"Indians are sceptical that there is much mileage in talks when the trade balance is almost nine to one in China’s favour. In part, this is due to severe restrictions on Indian imports of pharmaceuticals, IT services, basmati rice and beef."

I assume this is about the Canon[1] thing? And who gets to be the Gatekeepers - the people who decide which writers and works get included and excluded in each generation's version of the Literary/Musical/Artistic Canon thing?

As far as I can work out, it's mainly about what stuff the professors and teachers teach to the students and kids as part of their formal education. Whoever gets to set the curriculum also gets to tweak the Canon? Outside of formal education, things get a lot more fluid and fun: Canons take decades to change; Cultural tastes can evolve over weeks.

As for Shakespeare, he wasn't considered the English language's greatest writer during his lifetime, or even after (according to Wikipedia[2]). It took him near 200 years to gain such acclaim.

This law is no different than any other prohibition. It's not like we have to go back to the legal lab to figure out precisely what advertising is because, unlike things with clear definitions everyone knows like fraud, discrimination, or defamation, advertising is particularly nebulous.

Sub headline in the link says investigation "cleared" Waltz. When of course, what actually happened is that the investigation showed how extremely reckless negligent and careless Waltz was. I wish the guardian was more explicit about how nonsense this government propaganda is about this incident.

The danger (which we've seen play out) is that this gets used as a pretext to ignore unfavorable election results, and then all those objections are forgotten when the election results are favorable. This "panic" had no intention of improving anything, nor did it.
I was surprised to see how many of these were already assigned high school reading at my public high school. We went through maybe a quarter of the list? I do disagree with making it a checklist. Some of these books will end up being an absolute slog with no value to their reader, and kill progress in the list. Great Expectations was like that for me, and later Pride and Prejudice.
It's impossible to enforce a law like this. The real solution is to create personal AI filters for each person that reads all the data for the user, filters out anything that doesn't enrich the user, and hides the rest. A general-purpose AI-enabled spam filter for your entire digital life.

I think that Blindsight is a much tighter story with great horror (existential or otherwise) elements, and the consciousness themes were outstanding.

Sure. But people here are talking about frequenting chains in their hometown. If national chains are the best options in your local area, it's a sign you need to move to a better area.

Nope, the actual ssh implementation parses all the config files once, at the startup, using buffered file I/O and getline(). That means that on systems with modern libc, the whole config file (if it's small enough, less than 4 KiB IIRC?) gets read into the RAM and then getline() results are served from that buffer.

The scheme you propose is insane and if it was ever used (can you actually back that up? The disk I/O would kill your performance for anything remotely loaded), it was rightfully abandoned for much faster and simpler scheme.
What a mediocre list of material.

They all pretty much sit within a European/American spectrum of "worthy" works - there is a dominance of caucasian male thinking embodied within this list: it's not very broad, even with the odd hat tip to a Bronte sister and Maya Angelou. Nothing from 80% of the World's population, all rooted in a classical Western school of writing theory. Dull.

I also have a concern that they aren't a great foundation for a young person approaching adulthood trying to understand their place in the World and their own beliefs and values about themselves and the World they live in.

As you would expect of adult literature, some of them have sex and sexuality as themes that are explored by protagonists, subplots and subtexts. While this is something we should expect literature to play a part in, and it is of course healthy for adults to consider their own feelings relating to sex and sexuality based on their own contexts and needs through art forms like literature, I'm not sure throwing that at a 9th grader feels quite right. Maybe it is. I think it depends on the child.

The worst crime here though, is that this list is composed of books that are only considered good by the "educated" literarti.

There aren't many page turners that will keep a younger mind engaged and excited. There's only a few that stand out as an opportunity to let a curious reader explore their changing selves through the context of an interesting imagined World - the only real point of literature - in a way that will stimulate and excite their curiosity for the World they are actually growing up in.

And y'know, I'm a huge Shakespeare fan (I live in London, regular attendee of Shakespeare productions from all the usual companies), but this is leaning into some weird material. All 154 sonnets? Much Ado, Hamlet & King Lear, but no Romeo & Juliet or Macbeth? Huh.

Also, I see you, Ayn Rand fans. I see you. No. The Fountainhead is not a good book, she isn't a good writer, and the philosophy she espoused is not justification for you behaving the way you do. Don't try and get grades 9-12 into your little weird cult, you unsympathetic self-absorbed weirdos.
I don't like Tesla and the premature "FSD" announcement was a huge set back AV research. An AV without lidar killing motorcyclists is not surprising, to say the least. And this is a damning report.

That said -- and I might have missed this if it was in the linked sources, I'm on mobile -- what is the breakdown of other (supposed) AVs adoption currently? What other types of crashes are there? Are these 5+ fatalities statistically significant?
It should be definitely worth it because you can reuse databases of sequence to seed mappings for all future models.

> It's impossible. How do you even define advertising? If you define it conservatively, then advertising will skirt through the loopholes. If you define it liberally, then you have an unfair, authoritarian system that will definitely be selectively enforced against political enemies.

This is just the perfect solution fallacy.

Nobody in this conversation thinks there's a set of laws that would work perfectly to prevent all advertising. That doesn't mean it can't be a hell of a lot better than it is. Playing whack-a-mole with loopholes and making careful regulations to avoid inhibiting human rights is still a huge improvement over letting corporations trample human rights at will.
You can build the most secure app and install it on the most secure hardware, but if people simply instead use their private phone to chat with other people on their private phone using a random app from the App Store, then it just doesn't matter.

You can then write as many rules as you like about how you're not allowed to that, but if you don't follow up and enforce those rules then people will keep doing it. Bottom line, no one cares about security enough to compromise convenience, and unless you start to literally throw people in jail they never will.
This is cool from a theoretical perspective, but `fork()` can be prohibitively expensive, at least on the hot path. This is a cool tool that should be used with care.
Is this a definition for "advancing" regards civilization? Bc it is not happening, and it is arguable if it is good for us at all.
In theory, I'm all for this. In practice, we have to take smaller steps towards this radical change and see how far we can actually get in real life.

In Norway, we have a total ban on advertising on certain products, like alcohol and tobacco. We also have strict laws regulating advertising towards children and political messaging on TV and radio.

There is only one problem; these laws where made before the digital age, so they have been sidelined. Political parties buy ads on Facebook and Insta like there is no tomorrow and children are constantly exposed to ads on social media. Only the ban on alcohol and tobacco is somewhat successful.

The right next move would be to ban peronalized ads (ie tracking of personal data). This is the one factor that has made the advertising industry (with Google and Meta at the top) go completely of the rails.
