This is more substantial. But if you are talking of the naive user who would not take notice of their Apple account suddenly vanishing from their device, there are easier ways for breaking in to their device without having to wipe it.

Apple's system doesn't work to secure naive users against dedicated attackers. If Apple's system has any design for security (and I agree it does), it's for users who'd notice when their data is wiped.

They also removed your username/display name from your default highlight strings.

Now you have to go to your preferences and explicitly add your display name to the list of strings you want to be notified about.

It's not "termination on any action against Facebook", the termination is only for:

1. filing a patent infringement against Facebook (for anything, related or unrelated to React)

2. filing a patent infringement counterclaim against Facebook for patents related to React (after Facebook have first filed a patent infringement claim against you for patents on anything)

3. filing a patent infringement against anyone for patents related to React

[edit]

> if Facebook infringes on patents you own you can't take action against them if you are using React.

You can take action against them, you just don't have a patent grant once you do.

You can't really snap fingers and make those kind of company appear out of nowhere.

Those companies exist because of american entrepreneurship culture, and how corporate laws work in the US. US companies have a lot of freedom to throw money right and left to do things because IT moves fast, and that is just not possible in europe at all.

Also those companies are flagships, but they also are criticized because they are big brother type agents. They centralize data from users of the entire world, and let's be honest, it gives an information advantage for american interests (meaning geopolitics, economics, business).

Those companies are not just products, they also are a big advantage for three letters agencies and business intelligence as well. I'm sure a similar european google or facebook would either be bought by US company or see its employees offered jobs at facebook/google.

Europe is not interested in having such companies, because europe doesn't have investors to throw money like megalomaniacs at anything that pops up. Europe is more traditional.

So yeah, the US is the center of the world, there are geopolitical reasons for it, and they are logical reasons why it is also the case for flagship IT companies.

I do think the original statement is wrong. Many of the rich countries are rich because of oil, not slavery. These include Norway, the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Brunei.

Still, I do not find it an absurd generalization.

How many rich countries do you think are rich because they built their wealth on slavery?

While it's not slavery, does that number change if it were generalized to include indentured servitude or forced labor?

For example, Belgium benefited from forced labor in the Belgium Congo. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Congo :

> After the First World War, ... the colonial state gave private companies, to a large extent, a free hand. This allowed, in particular, the Belgian Société Générale to build up an economic empire in the colony. Huge profits were generated[by whom?] and for a large part siphoned off to Europe in the form of dividends. ...

> The necessary work-force was recruited in the interior of the vast colony with the active support of the territorial administration. In many cases, this amounted to forced labour, as in many villages minimum quotas of "able-bodied workers" to be recruited were enforced. In this way, tens of thousands of workers were transferred from the interior to the sparsely populated copper belt in the south (Katanga) to work in the mines. In agriculture, too, the colonial state forced a drastic rationalisation of production. The state took over so-called "vacant lands" (land not directly used by local tribes) and redistributed the territory to European companies, to individual white landowners (colons), or to the missions ...

> During the First World War (1914-1918), the system of "mandatory cultivation" (cultures obligatoires) was introduced, forcing Congolese peasants to grow certain cash crops (cotton, coffee, groundnuts) destined as commodities for export.[31] Territorial administrators and state agronomists had the task of supervising and, if necessary, sanctioning those peasants who evaded the hated mandatory cultivation

Planning one for next year, thinking about a website to send around. Quick thoughts:

- website is (maybe) looked at twice, (if at all). On invitation + on the day itself.
- so updating the page might not reach all invited guests
- show locations on a map (church, party, possible accomodations)
- show schedule of the day, when to be where, what happens...
- show contact info of relevant people
- show possible accomodations (if guest need to book their rooms themselves) including any blocked contingents and expiry date of those blocked rooms

I hope that helps a bit...

(PS: would probably not pay for it since adding a page to any of my wordpress systems or own HTML would be easier. Might use some free offer.

"People got killed, I saw it, so the coup was not done by the government" <- this is just naive. You can't possibly take over a government with standing army 2 million strong using 1000 soldiers, 5 jet planes and 3 tanks.

Also, if a fighter jet pilot really wanted to level the parliament, he would. Just think about it. It is all a big show. This is the only likely explanation. It is 1984 all over again. Everyone fears that their economy will get worse, so they try to keep status quo.

I'm not judging. Everyone has a right to fear. I'd also vote akp because I also fear losing my family. Screw courage. Just saying it is obviously fake and government extorts people using economy, and people know this.

From what I hear it will just be uncomfortable for customers. Banks will have to make sure that you're really who you are. Where you could open an account with SSN before you'll now need more proof that it's you. Meaning you'll have to supply more documents and more "security questions".

That could lead people to not open an account but probably won't deter people from taking out a loan. But will be a big annoyance for customers.

Because you want your web servers to handle requests fast, and serve as many requests as possible.

You want offload your non-time dependent requests to other machines to handle without slowing down your request processing on the web servers.

Also most queues provide a mechanism distributing load and autoscaling.
> You can take action against them, you just don't have a patent grant once you do.

Which opens you up to being countered-sued right? It seems that this leaves Facebook to freely infringe on any patents of React users without consequence.
If I recall right it was the patent agreement clause, where they would have to transfer any patent rights from negotiations with partners that in theory could cover the GPLv3 work.

So if Apple has a deal with a patent troll which has a an obvious broken patent that covers all and every program (but which would fall apart if challenged), then apple could in theory get into trouble with the troll if they distributed GPLv3 software.

Also, patent lawsuits are costly. If you're going to start one against Facebook the cost of switching away from React first would be negligible.
There is nothing theological about the widely accepted meaning of voluntary. If your definition of voluntary includes putting a gun to somebody's head or does not include exchange of one good for another, then you are the one redefining language in service of your ideology.

The problem in the age of kings was that kings enjoyed special rights and the populace did not have property rights. The king could, and often did, take whatever he wanted without consent. We see the conflict between aristocracy and private property even in modern times. Consider how the aristocracy in the UK reacted to Thatcher's selling off government entities to the people who worked in those entities. The aristocracy reacted in horror when they saw ordinary "peasants" getting control of what were previously government entities controlled by the aristocracy. They desperately attempted to throw her out of the conservative party, and eventually succeeded.

I would also point out that the places on earth where the poor have relatively good lives are precisely the places with property rights, and that the places where the poor aren't even able to get a loaf of bread (e.g. north korea, venezuela, several countries in sub-saharan africa) are precisely the places without property rights.

I'm surprised by the extent to which the recent rise of socialism has even penetrated HN. I fear we need another 100 million cold bodies to relearn that lesson.
I question the utility. In my 27 years in this business I've never come across a database migration, for example.

How much would you have come across if most applications implemented this pattern, though? There's some selection bias at play.

Or to look at it from the other side: how many times have you come across a switch when this pattern was implicitly implemented in the application by virtue of using a standard protocol, like SMTP?

Yeah you're right... :( At least it gives a better user experience because there isn't all the pre-installed bloatware.
(Had no trouble zooming the screenshot to legibility on an iPhone SE. What do you want to bet the site was designed in an exclusively fruit-machine shop? They're getting to be pretty crap for dev work lately, too, but that's another discussion.)

I use 9pt fonts in Emacs on my personal laptop, because otherwise I can't use my preferred layout (a maximized frame containing three vertically split windows) and fit enough code on a 13" display.

With a high-DPI display, it's workable enough - at 72dpi it'd be a disaster, as I had opportunity to discover during a brief flirtation with a netbook. Workable though it be, I'd like to find a still broadly similar font that made pairs like i/l and ./, more easily distinguishable at such small size. Hack is not that font; it appears to be a slightly modified Vera/DejaVu Sans Mono, which is no bad thing to be sure - I've used that font exclusively for many years - but hardly revolutionary.

To be clear, I'm not sure whether Hack actually is a modification of DejaVu Sans Mono, or whether it's a novel design. Doesn't change what it looks like either way. And some decisions seem much more driven by style than by usability - for example, curving the tail of the i, to match the l, would actively harm legibility compared to DejaVu Sans Mono, where l's distinctively curved tail makes it very easy to distinguish from every other glyph that consists primarily of a single vertical stroke. That's one of the two most commonly confused groups, and so I'm not really seeing a strong legibility rationale for making one of its members less distinguishable from another.

Some of the sound descriptions in this article sounds very similar to an on going experience I had, although without the health problems (I hope?)

It turned out to just be a bad phone charger. I would charge my phone at night (samsung s4 at the time) and when fully charged and idle it would make a very high pitch and faint sound that sounds like "morse code" or digital noise (I believe the sound characteristics is the CPU doing stuff and drawing power?)

The sound was only be audible in some places of my appartment and it would depend on how my head was turned. I remember hearing this sound even in my dreams.

I've heard this sound outside as well depending on how I turn my head. But lately I haven't heard or maybe noticed anything. I'm also getting older though so maybe I've lost the abiltiy to hear high pitched sounds like that.

Googling "keep hearing morse code" and similar terms reveals that many people have had similar experiences but many wild conclusions.

There might be something shady going on in Cuba but it wouldn't suprise me if bad adapters and sockets would get lumped together with it.
Where Are the Fins? (2009) [pdf]
That should be the link.
As I mentioned, I am aware this does not explain everything, but I was trying to suggest that pharmacology could have some role to play in explaining this (though I could not account for all the symptoms, nor for the motive, which might be along the lines of some kind of truth serum or something like that... my experience involved benzodiazepines, which famously are supposed to relax you).

Also, I failed to mention that the intense buzzing sound continued only until I finally managed to convince myself I was not immobilised, and willed my head to tilt. Upon doing this, the 'sound' instantly disappeared. In my (probably unrelated experience) I was immobile because I was convinced that I could not move so I didn't "bother" trying to do so (for what felt like an eternity) not because I was unable to. These people on the other hand obviously wanted to move, and were very much able to do so... and apparently re-encountered the same local phenomenon in various static locations.

So my experience is probably unrelated, but something about this reminded me of it, so I decided to toss it out there.
