It certainly has, and it has been a key element in the radicalization and racialization of our politics. Many Trump voters were exactly that demographic, and resentful of the double standard. Not a healthy development for the body politic,

The CHERI / Morello effort looks pretty serious, thanks for the pointer... (pun intended?) I wonder if there is an equivalent in x86-land? As far as I see, this is limited to MIPS, RISC-V, and ARM architectures. But again I'm left

I came here wondering the same thing. I guess I could just get the eGPU I've tossed around for a while?

Really, really hate the "podcast invasion". If I could click a button to make all podcasts disappear from Spotify forever, I would. I still listen on Spotify a lot---I have extensive playlists built up there over a decade. I keep

Someday, a benevolent AI will serve as our supreme court. One can hope... and/or fear! I actually think taking things out of human hands could give them more legitimacy.

The difficulty of computing the hashes is the entire point of them, to enforce scarcity. It's not wasted if you belief that scarcity has worth, which in the digital world it certainly does. The price people are willing to pay for somet

Of course, it is counterfactual. I was just trying to illustrate the point that payments would come in very handy for internet infrastructure.

Bitcoin is a means of transferring value peer-to-peer across the internet. I believe in that. I also am interested in the predictable inflation schedule and limit on issuance---I think it's a nice option to have. Bitcoin is actually pr

I imagine for companies like those funding this, it's part of their bigger-picture plan to offset their carbon emissions, aiming for net zero and whatnot.

Film critic reviews are the Hacker News of the film world: nerds nerding out. I once went out with a woman who was highly steeped in film criticism and such. I think she volunteered as dramaturg at a theater company or something like that.

The goal would be to make the various tradeoffs transparent, whereas the apps manipulate the process to maximize engagement. YOUR goal in using dating apps is to find as many options as possible, but the APP's goal is to make money...

Complaining about gentrification is like complaining about the day being hot and the night being cold. There are reasons for things. Look at those, then adapt.

Filming within 8 feet seems like a fair restriction. I'm surprised it wouldn't already be covered under existing laws.

I just saw a poll yesterday showing greater support for permanent standard time. After all, it is "standard". The farther we get from "noon" being the sun directly overhead, the worse for health, in my view. But probably

It is Russia that has abdicated its responsibilities under the Budapest Memorandum. Give it a read, it takes half a minute.

If Ukraine is annexed by Russia, the defense of the Baltics becomes much more difficult, as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania then become susceptible to Russian attack. (Moldova too but they're not in NATO) In the graph of adjacen

Pff, just let sites break, that's what webdevs are for :-P We all survived the shift from 1 digit to 2 digit, so this seems like way too much trouble.

Agree that it's like Python 2->3, and that's why I think it was a mistake to do it that way. Phased deprecations are the way to go in my opinion.

The USD is relatively overvalued due to the geopolitical position of the United States, the petrodollar system, etc. By being the "reserve currency" it has built-in additional demand beyond what would be expected. This strengthens
