Those large media distributions didn't appear out of nowhere, they were built by entrepreneurs and communities. They slowly merged into the huge operations that exist today. That said, those publications have got so big that some have become divorced from reality... you only have to look as outlets like The Guardian and the huge losses they continue to absorb. Extreme even by industry standards.
Dear Facebook and Google: All I want for the the UK general election this year
128MB Flash off-chip, and I know of several Linux distros that can run with under 50MB, so I would say it would be entirely possible to run it.
And when you download Firefox from Maharashtra (a state in India), you do not get the Marathi version. It is non trivial to enable Marathi (you need to download a language pack addon, folks who need this may not be technically sound enough or speak enough English to figure this out). Marathi is the 19th most spoken language in the world, with more than 14 times as many speakers as Norwegian. What I say for Firefox was true for all browsers last I checked.

So "at least for Norwegians" is correct; this doesn't generalize well at all.

To be fair, Google in India defaults to English anyway (it's complicated -- might have been a sensible choice in the past since you could assume that folks who use the net know English, but it is probably exclusionary now that everyone is coming online). But I'm sure what I said for Marathi works for many other languages.
"'highly probable' Russia interfered with Brexit"

"the huge flows of migrants into Europe had been deliberately encouraged by Russia to destabilise the EU"

sigh... Put it another way - is there any hardship in this world that was not induced by Russia? This is not even funny anymore, this is sad. Brexit is work of Russkies. Are you guys are completely impotent and incapable of making your own decisions?
I'm baffled as to why people keep insisting Elixir is "Ruby-like".

Is it just because they both have "def" and "puts"? Cause that's just about where the similarities end :-)
You'd be surprised.

Lots of the higher priced products have only marginal (if any) differentiation from cheaper options, sometimes only the brand being it.

That's how you can have $400 plastic "brand name" glasses and $30 "non brand name" glasses that are made in the same chinese factory, with the same plastic materials and quality control, and both owned by the same parent company (e.g. Luxottica).

And let's not get into clothing and wine.

IIRC it's the browsers language, not the system language. Might be wrong here.

.NET is primarily used by two cultures that don't place a big emphasis on open source development: Windows and giant in-house enterprise IT projects, often at banks. Banks have historically struggled with open source: it took a long time for them to start using it, and much longer still to start contributing.

Java's focus on cross-platform support from the start probably seemed like a waste of resources back in the 1990s when Windows was so dominant, but it had the advantage of making it more popular amongst UNIX users and the existing open source culture. Java going open source long before .NET also contributed to this. The end result is that you get organisations like Red Hat, Apache, IBM that create vast quantities of high quality open source Java code, and a culture that is steeped in open source development. Whereas in .NET it's rare to use components not built by Microsoft and when they do exist they are typically proprietary, same as in the 1990s.

I love such summary sites, and probably will spend the next weeks reading/watching stuff from this one. However, I have to note a mistake I often make that other people may make as well:

Often when we think "wow, that's life changing!" it's actually a strong emotional response of surprise. It is really helpful when it happens because the content provided demands it. It helps us to learn faster and stay motivated to the end of the content. But sometimes it's not the content itself, but the presentation. And just like Coka Cola may taste exciting when you haven't been drinking any sugary drink for years, the presentation itself may be the only thing exciting about it. It creates the emotional response by artificially triggering our buttons, but not because it really has some valuable lesson.

I really need to remind myself of that before I start to dive in. Hope it helps some others to filter the real content from the sugar water as well.
True. Laravel is probably the best PHP framework I've come across but the error display page seems like the only thing I didn't like. It can be quite daunting at first; errors that are easily decipherable using PHPs inherent error message display can seem quite arcane using Laravel.
por qué?
That's interesting, because Google search is actually pretty good at the Japanese script thing.

So they have the technology to do cross-script indexing in Japanese for maps, they just don't use it?

Yes, true. Most people who started to use reddit have gained massive amounts from knowledge from it. But reddit itself is not content. Content is what people create in the subreddits. Saying "reddit changed my life" is the same as "email changed my life", no specific enough.
Guardian spokesperson: "Our primary objective is to bring audiences to the trusted environment of the Guardian to support building deeper relationships with our readers, and growing membership and contributions to fund our world-class journalism.”

Precisely. FB's brand with respect to news is damaged to the point where it's negative. FB is the place to get fake nuz. The Guardian and the Times are wise not to allow their content to move under the FB brand.
Innovators and Distributors
The issues that seems to trouble the majority of users on Reddit, or at least the more vocal users, seems pretty fare removed from the average persons life. You sort of end up with the impression that the average users for the "mainstream" subreddits are pot smoking, male-to-female transgendered, bacon-eating vegans, 14 year old hippies with college degrees.

If anything I believe that Reddit have shown me that people across the world are much more diverse than I would have imagined. Similar in many many ways, but with vastly different priorities and problems. In the more niche subreddits people communicate extremely well, despite their differences, simply because they share a common interest.
LXC best mimics a VM environment so its a nearly seamless transition for VM workloads and setups. I have noticed a lot of people are catching on and using LXC more and more now compared to a couple of years ago where there was massive confusion about containers.

The biggest difference is Docker does not run the init in the container, LXC does so it behaves more like a lightweight VM. LXC also has proper support for standard networking and storage in the container. It's self contained.
>I assume you need to own the land it's placed on, so how could it be used for vacationing?

It's quite common for people to buy a house outside the city (or more) that they vacation too. And whenever they get a chance to relax, they go to that place (as opposed to random travel locations).

This is similar in concept, just with a smaller (and artificially expensive) house.
Google News detected my location (Munich) and set the local news source to show news from there, but I guess they didn't have any partnerships with the news providers except one that offered real estate market updates. It was amusing in the beginning to read that a big investment company bought some office block, but it annoyed me so I set it to give me news about Saudi Arabia instead, so I can ignore it.

I recommend you to take a presentation training from domain experts (mainly physchologists) and you'll understand how wrong you are.
It's not FUD, it's an awkward reality. The FSF themselves don't deny that there's a contradiction. The right to use modify code privately is one of the four freedoms, so your insistence that the AGPLv3 violates it is just supporting the existence of a fundamental contradiction.

This is from the legal analysis by Eben Moglen & Mishi Choudhary for the Software Freedom Law Center[1]

>Whether to extend the copyleft concept to the delivery of services by free software over a network is a complex issue long discussed in the free software community. Freedom zero requires that any user be allowed to run any program for any purpose, which of course includes the provision of computing services to others. Freedom two requires respect for the right of private modification. Their combination requires that anyone be able to run privately-modified copies of GPL’d programs for the purpose of providing computing services to others.

That's very clear that freedom zero and freedom two necessitates allowing people to run modified GPL programs on servers without making the code available to users. The AGPL is explicitly designed to prevent that, so it's inevitably in conflict.

>even then it only requires you to offer the corresponding source to the work that was modified with the new modifications.

As I demonstrated in my other comment the language in the AGPLv3 is identical to the GPLv3 when it comes to the issues of derivative works/combined works/aggregate works. Everybody accepts that the GPLv3 requires software linking to a GPLv3 library to be made available under the terms of the GPLv3. The same applies to the AGPLv3, so in many cases it will mean people will also have to release their own code that links to the AGPLv3 library they are running on their server, if they make modifications to the AGPLv3 code.

Check out Thorconpower.com - obviously not the current deplorable state of affairs.
IRC also needs someone to run a server. Just because a protocol isn't p2p there's plenty of reason to open it. You can independently develop third party clients, use your own server instead of Apple's etc.

They simply lied. They never said "We'll open Facetime, but only if it's implemented as a p2p protocol & client"
This is fun in theory, but doesn't really give you a lot in practice. A few random points:

* On many server systems swap is already disabled today (for availability reasons), so you don't really win anything. (Although what you're doing also won't hurt, so it's fine.)

* On many desktop systems on the other hand, swap is not the only reason for memory to end up on disk, mainly due to hibernation modes. This doesn't just include OS-implemented hibernation modes, but also firmware-provided ones (e.g. Intel's RST.)

* If you're running in a VM (in the cloud?), the hypervisor pretty much doesn't care what you lock in memory.

* If your process crashes you may end up with a crash dump, depending on the system's configuration. (On Linux you can avoid that using prctl's PR_SET_DUMPABLE option.)

Even if none of that is a problem for you, you still need to fill and use the values you protected. Where do you get the keys from? Is that path protected as well? This might be fine if you can generate them in place, but even then it's pretty hard. The same is true for key usage: How do you make sure that the key doesn't end up in another portion of your memory? It's almost certain that it ends up either on the stack or somewhere else sooner or later...
ha, yeah. Like job spec on 'seek' last week they wanted at least five years commercial experience with react js. Rofls all around. Someone must have a time machine and got the job as the ad is not there anymore.
> When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

That's extremely concerning, given that the domain name industry has a very robust set of regulations and legal procedures to govern privacy, mediate dispute, and establish consumer rights. I'd be very concerned about what this relationship between Njalla and myself would do to those protections - they're not a registrar, nor are they a reseller - what am I actually paying them for?

Unfortunately, the ToS and/or registration agreement that I am signing up for doesn't appear anywhere that I was able to find. I went through the purchase flow to try to buy a domain, but it won't let me proceed without funds in my wallet, and I'm not going to put 30 euro just to try and read a legal doc.

In other words, this seems like it's Probably a Bad Idea(tm), though it's difficult to know without more transparency on their part. (full disclosure: I work for a company involved in the domain industry)
Never heard of Bullet Journal before. That will change my life.
It's also common all over the world. Especially when people live in the city, but have interests/roots in the countryside.

English aristocrats, which all could travel out of UK whenever they wanted, would still have "country houses".

Have you tried going through the yellow pages and calling a couple of local lawyers and accountants?

Another option would be to go to functions that they frequently put on and chat to some relatively informally and if they show interest then make an appointment to go indepth.

These are the two avenues I would try if I were in your situation. Or ... did I miss something? I don't think many lawyers nor accountants would be reading HN.

It's a non trivial process to set up a Firefox language pack, and involves googling the right things and navigating pages in English. Some languages have official downloads which you can choose on the download page, but not all. My language -- the 19th most spoken -- does not have this option, for example.

These days the textual UI of the browser isn't too important (the icons are what matter for day to day usage) so people just live with it.

At least Crystal brings new features like static typing, light threads, and compilation. From the README I don’t see what Rooby is bringing to the table.
Agree. The language is different. The standard library is different. The runtime is different. The last two quite substantially at that. JavaScript is more like Ruby than Elixir is. I'm tempted to say Go and Jave are more Ruby than Elixir is.

FWIW, I've been using elixir for about a year now, and I think it's fantastic. I still use node & ruby for scripts (which can get complicated, but almost always for one-offs and asynchronous processing), Go for anything I actively want to share memory (though, started using Crystal, can't wait for threads), and OpenResty for any web proxy/middleware stuff. But Elixir is now the lions share for me and I find it fun and productive.
My understanding is that ownership of a domain belongs to whoever is listed in the Whois, and therefore long established Whois privacy products already deal with the problem (of "private" ownership) through the use of a contract between the customer and Whois contact (proxy owner). Can you clarify if that understanding is wrong?

IAAP, but that is still a great article to drive home how fundamental and simple this property of our universe is.
Some apps and sites, like iTunes Store, do this with the license agreement, since they like to pretend the document has legal power, it has to be presented in one of the country's officially recognised languages. So like the article, someone only understanding English in Germany signing up for iTunes has to accept a legal agreement in a language they don't understand...
Unless you're a fish
Crystal is years ahead and way better with an active community. What purpose does Rooby serve?
Sure, if you run a server that's only running some unmodified AGPLv3 software then you don't have to share the source, although in that situation the user typically has access to the source through other channels anyway (the market for selling private AGPLv3 code is pretty much non existent, so the code is almost certainly from a public project).

In the real world people typically want to use code as part of their own service/application which contains domain specific logic they wrote themselves.

>You can perfectly well run an AGPL webserver and not be forced to put your operating system under AGPL.

Because the GPLv3 and AGPLv3 (the licences are identical in this regard) have explicit sections excluding operating systems and system libraries from the terms of the licence.
If a paper becomes a part of a large feed, it risks becoming an interchangeable part and that means the aggregator can lower prices.

In some sense, Apple faced that problem, too. It created its own sales channel, whereas the Guardian has one to fall back on.

In contrast, Intel when faced with that problem in the PC market, choose to work on brand awareness through the "Intel Inside" campaign. Reason likely is that, to create their own sales channel, they would have had to start making PCs, thus competing with their own customers.

So, Intel accepted that there were larger entities offering both their and their competitor's product, as long as it had ample opportunity to market its brand there.

So, perhaps the aggregators should work on two things: pay more to their contributors, and allow contributors more to present their brand.
> Rooby is a Ruby-like object oriented language written in Go. You can think it as a simplified, compilable Ruby for now.

I have to ask, if your goal is "compilable Ruby", then...why not Crystal? (https://crystal-lang.org/
) Seems like it accomplishes your goals, already exists, and is (as far as I know) stable and well regarded.

Nothing wrong with reinventing the wheel, and you may have very compelling reasons to write your own project. But it looks weird when there's already a well-known project in this space and you don't compare yourself to it. How are you better?

While network effects exist and are worrying, this is a bit too strong - you can have two accounts concurrently, and many people do. Hence why FB had to buy Instagram and Whatsapp, and why Snapshat has more than a hundred million users.

I completely agree. I'm located in the U.S. and use dollars and English customary units, but I prefer German-style dates and British spelling. Displaying metres and Celsius to me because I prefer to spell 'colour' properly is stupid.
:-( that sucks.

One that surprised me not long ago was that The Verve never got anything from Bittersweet Symphony (ironically). They had sampled a song that itself was a cover of a Rolling Stones tunes from 20 years earlier. The Stones demanded (and got) all the royalties.

The decline of fishing as a profession over the past 40 yrs is due to changes in technology and catchable stocks, not the UK's membership of the EU or the Common Fisheries Policy.

That's not how poverty works. Poor people don't suddenly change their mindset once they become rich. Some never change it.

Poor people are usually still afraid of falling back into poverty plus they still have poor friends or relatives who might rely on them.

Two of these three have low dense population. And harsh weather in those areas are not indicative of how tough will climate change be. After all, it has been about as harsh since humans inhabited those. But climate may get worse all over the world. A lot of people will have to migrate from coastal cities, both rich and poor.
> experience “rural farm life” or “communal living” just a couple hours away from Tokyo.

You just straw-manned your way into a negative review of the concept. I think the vast majority of people looking at this can clearly see it's not actual rural or traditional communal living, but a relaxed getaway in the outdoors that's easy to get to, with top range locally sourced dining possibilities and an environment that actively encourages social interaction. The site you linked makes no mention of rural farm life or communal living.

It sounds like this isn't your cup of tea (and to be honest it's not exactly mine either), but I love the trend of people repurposing buildings and old spaces rather than knocking them down. I also love the trend of locally grown and sourced food, rather than importing everything. Literally one of the best meals of my life was all locally sourced. Meanwhile most things I buy from the supermarket down the road are imported and taste bland. I hope both these trends continue.
