No, no, no.

Basic web searches note the expression "write by the seat of your pants", which in turn is inspired by "fly by the seat of your pants". That's a completely mystifying expression to me.

On the other hand, your answer is an impressive feat of projection: the armchair psychology you invoke to explain why someone would do something you don't understand at first is clearly an explanation for why you would choose to type out an off-topic
demonstration of your grasp of basic internet skills.

It must be, following your sample of psychological theory, really satisfying to plant some kind of flag saying "I know how to Google". In a forum called "Hacker News" no less.

I know it's pleasant to feel superior to other people, but this particular claim-to-superiority is both incredibly low-(intellectual)-effort and trying-too-hard. That's not s good look on anyone.

The solution to this is not to hide data (it's illegal in the US to forbid employees talking about it with each other anyway, which means they can compile a list of what everyone's making).

The solution is to take salary negotiation out of it. Flat pay structure within a job title/level, with criteria laying out what the requirements are for each title and each level, solves this immediately, and rather than turning into "Why should Bob make more than me when I work as hard", turns into "Here's what we need to see in order to promote you to Widget Adjuster level 3, would you like to work out a plan for how to get there?"

So one personal anecdote makes you conclude that the point of the article is wrong?

You have to look at the general population, not at individual cases. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Right to a fair trail is also a positive right.

Ehh, I'm not sure. The actual right is better described as the right not to be unfairly tried, which is clearly negative. The distinction is more than semantic: if the State launches an investigation and then drops it, leaving suspicion in the public's mind, you can't force them to go to trial to present your case and clear your name.
Do you consider a simple web interface where I can upload a photo?
In practice I think the positive negative distinction is somewhat pointless. All rights, regardless of their "nature" require enforcement and consistent interpretation and neither of those things come for free.

Part of the problem for Americans is that they have two definitions of rights. There's the ones in the Bill of Rights, which are phrased in a negative way. And there's those in the Declaration of Independence, which are provided by the creator and that governments must implement. And those rights are extremely broad. Heck, just the right to life could reasonably be argued to ban the death penalty. (Luckily for jurists everywhere, the Declaration of Independence isn't actually on the statute book.)

In practice, I think the distinction (and to be quite honest, pretty much the entire minimalist/constitutionalist approach) is mostly used to justify path dependence. The founding fathers believed that later generations would have enhanced understanding of the world. Fetishising their every decision just makes for a worse America.
>>> given that the battle-proof ZFS has finnally been ported to Linux for quite some time?

ZFS has not been ported to Linux yet.

At best, one could say that there are SOME pieces of it being ported and tested on -exclusively- the latest Ubuntu.
Is that actually true? From my cursory understanding, it seems that there has been a slew of theoretical breakthroughs (including ways to architecte and train networks aside from just blindly throwing more computation resources) that significantly pushed the field forward. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Hinton's 2006 DNN which pre-trained each layer one at a time as a restricted Botlzmann machine, computationally simpler activation functions like ReLu, the development of residual networks, the development of GANs, etc.

Of course GPU-based training has helped a lot, but my impression is that these theoretical breakthroughs were also important.

Yes, of course there is an explanation for the asshole behaviour of software vendors. That does not make it any better. Introducing and keeping unnecessary deviations from the standard in your software product creates massive costs for other parties in the long run (aka, externalities). Creating those costs in order to gain an advantage in the market is just the behaviour of an asshole.

Because, short of that, I can't see how exploit trading incentivises weakening of systems. It just incentivises people to find weaknesses.

I got so sick of AMP links I switched to Bing as default. Compared to google is sucks, but still better than dealing with AMP pages.

The second is very important, there is still a lot of research and engineering to have:

> Everyone knows what everyone else is making.

How wide are the grades? I know a few corporate places that have "standard pay grades" except they're normally wide enough to grant managers almost laughable latitude in what they pay people on the same grade. There's at least one place I know which has a single grade covering £40k to £80k.
In that same page however, they also define "mostly OK" as:
> mostly OK: safe for general use, there are some known problems

This would seem to suggest they are saying it is okay for production use. Otherwise, what do they mean by "safe for general use"
This assume Google can't do anything about it. But it can.

It can deny the use of it's services to people using ad-blockers.

It's possible that we see a migration from youtube. Maybe some people will be ok with migrating from gmail (probably not the majority though. I did it and it was HARD). But very few people will stop using the search engine or google map, because it has absolutely zero decent competitor. I tried them all for months, fairly. Their are not even on the same planet.

So apart from a few geeks, people will just disable the ad blocking software if google decide to force their hand.

Besides, wait for the W3C DRM standard + webassembly to be used to hack very hard to block ads...

To me the best thinking around in the design of a writing tool is Scrivener. It is the first writing tool that seems to understand that writing, research, note taking a process and the page is the output from that process. My single objection to Scrivener is that its native data structure is RTF. I dearly wish it was a pure markdown tool.
Since the offer is made by a shadowy organisation, how would we know whether it indicates anything reasonable? Companies with money to spare could use it to easily discredit competitors. First, company A offers $X (where $X might be a full-term equivalent salary or more) to a shadow broker for an exploit in company B's product. Likely outcomes include:

If an exploit is found, company A can play it for what it's worth, either accusing B of negligent behaviour, sloppy coding, defunct bug award program, etc., or exploiting the bug (via anonymously hired help) for a while, possibly in such a way that company B's customers notice the issue before company B does.

If an exploit is not found company A can still accuse company B of negligent behaviour if company B hasn't matched $X in their bug awards.

If company B has done everything right company A can pull the offer, and try to convince a reporter that this indicates an exploit was found and is being used without anyone at company B noticing. Dumber stories certainly have surfaced, and the damage could be significant.

> TL of AMP here

Hello. Sorry, but I have to express my deep disgust for what you do. "Give us your content and we'll rank you higher' is the opposite of what made the web and Google awesome.

If you care about user experience, downrank pages based on CPU usage, Memory usage, number of tcp/ip connections, number of domains connected, number of ips connected, number of bytes transferred, percentage of time that the UI is non-responsive and so on.

Trying to force the web into your little AMP cage is a terrible idea. It's the Facebook way of doing things. Are you really so afraid that you have to join the crooks? Would you have managed to take such a big part of the pie from Microsoft if you had been afraid of them and played their game?

Don't fight oppression with oppression. Fight it with freedom. Get rid of that AMP crap.

That's not an honest depiction of the situation for 2 reasons.

1. If the 9th amendment is interpreted to mean the courts can declare anything they think is a right, it allows unlimited power. "The Ninth Amendment obviously does not create federally enforceable rights."

2. Overturning Roe v. Wade wouldn't require much legal logic, except the precedent has been upheld several times. Without that, you could question any of steps it relies on:

a. there's an implied right to privacy (9th or 14th amendments)

b. the federal government has a mandate to enforce it

c. this right implies states cannot restrict abortion

d. the "balancing test" is legit, terminating the right in the last trimester

So, talking about ads... Yes my adblocker on the web is pretty nice... But I'm still getting bombarded by ads on Youtube and Twitch.

That's the difference, if you own the platform / app, you get 100% ad views.

By putting more DRM on the web and 'sneaking' ads on the web, they will prevail.
That's what google would do if they wanted to help the web, and not just faking they do. They used to, now they are just playing pretend for PR reasons.

For an admittedly artificial example of positive vs negative rights.

If you consider, say, a person living in the middle of a desert.

A right to privacy amounts to just being left alone, and enforcing that would only be required if another party were actively violating that right. <- It's easy to argue for this.

A right to water, on the other hand, might require that some other party be forced to provide water to this person in the desert. <- Here many people might quite reasonably argue; why should others put themselves out to facilitate this persons life choices.

>The right to free speech, conscience, affiliation , assembly and other political freedoms mean we need to tolerate and protect the proverbial nazis’ rights to try and spread their politics. Bitter pill for anyone scared of a proverbial nazi takeover.

Nazi's are an easy target. The problem starts when things are not as clean cut -- when actual politics are involved, as opposed to crude stuff like "exterminate all jews" and "blacks are inferior", etc that Nazi's might say.

Let's say a team wants to overthrow the presidency and bring something like another parliamentary system in the US. Or rewrite the constitution and remove the BS ideas from 3 centuries ago.

Should they be allowed to express their ideas? If they get somewhat popular and other people worry about their influence?

And what's stopping disagreeing people from considering them the same, or worse, as they'd have more current influence, than Nazis, and asking to ban their speeches etc?

(Many people considered the CPUSA like that in the 30s and up to the 60s)

But, you know, maybe they're right. Maybe online advertising is a dying business, and maybe that's why no one solicits for advertising partnerships at the bottom of their articles.

Who knows. Maybe their article is, seriously this time, completely correct, and maybe that flashy graph they've got at the top of the page -- you know, the one asking about whether or not you search for products on Amazon or Google -- isn't because no one really feels the need to google for toilet paper before buying some off whoever is convenient.

You know what will help? Some pullquotes from CEOs saying things like "brand owners are detemined to take the lead". Of course they are. That's why the Internet is now devoid of atrocious ads.

The CDDL also has patent clauses and so it's conceivable that a user of OpenZFS which received it in a way that violates the OpenZFS license could be liable for patent infringement of an Oracle patent. And there have been many cases of companies suing users of software over patents.

Another issue is that you should always get software like your filesystem from your distribution. We do a lot of work making sure that your systems can be safely updated, and making sure that upstream bugs are fixed for our distribution. Even community distributions put a lot of effort into that work. As someone who works on maintaining a distribution (I work for SUSE and contribute to openSUSE), I would guess that most people underestimate how much work you need to devote to maintaining the software in a distribution.
I started using apple maps a few months ago. This far I haven't had a single reason to look back.

Search engine wise they are clearly on top. On the other hand, do enough social engineering and people will start using a worse product regardless.

If you own $1 billion of equities on swap, you can guarantee that your broker has actually bought the equities (or something close to them) as a hedge. There is no way that your broker has an unhedged $1 billion equity swap with you. They collect a spread on the swap transaction of a few basis points, which is hopefully less than the cost to hedge the swap. They don't want to take the risk of the position moving against them by more than a few basis points (typically the equity market moves hundreds of basis points per day) so they almost always hedge.

The Japanese FX broker, on the other hand, has the odds so firmly stacked in their favour that they have no need to actually do any FX trading (though I expect that they do some). If the margin is high enough, the statistical fluctuations don't matter that much. That's the difference between a brokerage and a bucket shop.

It has "official support" from the ZoL folks. And yes, openSUSE has ZFS packages in OBS. But we sure as hell don't ship them by default, or in our official repos. The same applies for Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, RHEL and CentOS.

Ubuntu is the only distribution that official supports ZoL, and actually ships it in it's official repositories (and by default). What that means is that Canonical is effectively saying "we trust there's no legal reason why we cannot do this." No other distribution has made that claim.

EDIT: Actually NixOS also supports it, but the point stands.
