Moraes is on the Brazilian STF, the highest court in the land. In other countries, this kind of stuff would go through multiple lower courts. Here, the head guy is just giving direct orders and answers to approximately no one. So it'

I'm just glad they're prioritizing crew safety here. I don't have a lot of trust in Boeing right now.

It's sad to me that the 'common' buckeye seems to be anything but common these days, it's always been one of my favorites to look at.

That's an important correction, given that their EULA disclaims all damages. So their customers may get nothing at all for the global outage.

I mean, to me that's just a convincing argument against using kernel-mode spywa-, err, endpoint protection, with OTA updates that give you no way to stage or test them yourself cannot be secure.

More secure OSes would consider an application being able to take down the entire OS as a security issue and would make that impossible.

That kind of phrasing lends itself to some wild misunderstandings...

But how do we know the answer you gave us wasn't generated by the sneaky prover? :)

This misunderstands how "security by obscurity" came about, because there are good and bad types of obscurity. Back in the 1800s people were selling shoddy locks that were easy to pick and they were mad that people were disclosin

Now you're making me wonder if there's a 6502 emulator making use of that fact.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the longest running ones to be fractal in a sense given that the self-similarity is sort of compressible? I guess we'll probably never know, because it's not clear that we'll ever find an

Looking at the pictures on Wikipedia regarding those programs, it's interesting how they seem to result in fractals.

They seem to be talking about 18 USC (a)(2) in that quote you're reacting to, which reads: > (2) corruptly gives, offers, or agrees to give anything of value to any person, with intent to influence or reward an agent of an organizat

A lot of laws cover more conduct than people think they do, but I think that part of the point here is that it works on giver and receiver.

That article is bad. It ignores the ruling specifically pointing out that 18 USC 201 among other laws does cover 'gratuities' as well as bribes, and it misleadingly claims that "[t]he Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down

This is a good approach, I get a lot more information by going directly to the source in cases like that. Unfortunately, it makes some things like Wikipedia less useful because they explicitly want to use secondary sources rather than prim

When I read the news, I filter out the verifiable bits and simply discard all weak or low quality evidence, not unlike the reasoning used by the investigators in this story on HN the other day when they were looking for missing persons: h

I liked how they used logic to narrow things down to just what was verifiable and only ended up searching a few spots in the end. It makes me feel like the police should work with them to solve other missing persons cases.

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a miniseries out of this yet. It'd make a good one.

Yeah, this was a good read and definitely the kind of material I come to HN to read.

I have one, actually, from my grandpa's generation. He told another family member about his time growing up in the early 1900s, riding trolleys and eating Walnettos (a strange Walnut-based candy bar). Then the Spanish Flu came around
