I have same values as you, I am getting confused why I see so much socialism is bad on HN, especially from US citizens, is there a confusion like they think socialism means everything is public property, so confusing it with some communism implementations.
I understand that fixing the corruption/lobby in current US system would help I am not sure it could be done without some socialist, for the people party/layws.
What exactly did he or Uber do that is morally reprehensible?

To me "morally reprehensible" implies something quite extreme, like, say, genocide, callous violent crime, rape, etc.
To be fair "Firehawk Raptors" is a pretty cool name. Even maybe for a death metal band. Or the next javascript framework.

Peer review is done by fellow researchers, without being paid by the publisher. However, the publisher does find the editorial board (and sometimes pays them) that finds the peer reviewers, often (but less and less so) provides typesetting and proof reading services, and most importantly provide the infrastructure that makes the articles available and makes sure that they remain available in the future.

(And there's a ton of other things, like making sure people pay to access articles when they have a subscription and the like, but those are services they provide to themselves...)

In Chrome's implementation are the cache, cookiejar, and history all kept completely separate? For example if I go to foo.com and inside that it loads a facebook script in an iframe could it get all the normal facebook cookies or would it be blank? Which "site" would the iframe be?

Back in the day (Around when I ported chrome to Linux for a time context) I wrote up a spec and implemented a browser that did site data compartmentalization. Data leaks from cookies, history and especially cache were not possible because the data just wasn't there to be leaked. It was a pretty cool design that along with per site settings and split view search was definitely ahead of its time. Alas I was forbidden from working on it by my employer at the time and have been watching for some of the features to appear in other browsers since.

You could also just... not send WeChat private messages to your friend about how you don't like the great firewall of China.

I've always felt if you go to a country you should respect it's laws, and if you feel you'll be unable to respect it's laws due to moral conflict you shouldn't go to the country.

And it's not like you should want to benefit from a country (or let a country benefit from you!) that has laws you're so opposed to that you'd be willing to risk severe punishment to comment on them...

All coins built upon PoW suffer the same scaling issues as bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is the most popular, it hit the limitations first. Second layer technologies such as Lightning Network and Rootstock do solve various problematic use cases. Bitcoin is the most widely held cryptocurrency and is the only cryptocurrency with second layer technologies being rolled out into production as we speak.
Ask HN: What's the best textbook you've read?
The following is a quote from Noam Chomsky's book "The ten laws of power"
(translated by me from an Italian translation; I wanted something to practice
my Italian on that didn't have speech bubbles). It's from the chapter called
"Aggredire la Solidarieta" (Erode solidarity):

[The assault on solidarity] is the technique utiliesed, for example, to
assault public schooling. Public education is founded on the principle of
solidarity. My sons don't go to school anymore, they are adults, but in
keeping with the principle of solidarity I think "I will voluntarily pay taxes
so that the kid that lives in front can go to school". It's an impulse innate
to the human being, that nonetheless can be extirpated in such a manner that a
person can find themselves thinking: "My sons do not go to school. Why should I
pay taxes? Privatise the education system!". All of public education - from
prep school to higher education- are attacked in this way. One of the jewels
of American society.

Chomsky lists complex and varied reasons for how this happened, but basically it comes down to free market capitalism -unsurprisingly, given the author. I kind of tend to agree- in the sense that the "wisdom of the markets" is promulgated as the natural order of things, in US political discourse, at all levels thereof. So everyone grows up and lives in an environment where the highest ideal is to get all the money. I guess, growing up in such an environment it's not so hard to see how people end up not caring about such niceties as taking care of vulnerable members of society, or free education for poor kids and so on.

There are many forms of socialism, quite different from each other. You're likely referring to the Soviet model with state ownership, but the welfare state example is pretty much the Nordic model and social democracy.
I'd be more inclined to think this was someone who didn't understand the implications implementing a performance improvement. This bug is clearly deep into unk-unk (i.e. well past the known areas of concern) territory and took a great deal of insight to the fundamentals of speculative execution to discover.

I know it's not the same thing, but this is seemingly an issue with Coinbase as I had issues with them back in early 2016.

I had to get my bank involved with a purchasing issue from Coinbase. They declared the charges as fraudulent since I couldn't get a response from anyone at Coinbase. This was back in early 2016 before the recent crypto madness too...

I've seen 2001 at least 10 times in my life and I love it to death, but I got to see it in the theater once and it was like I'd never really experienced it at all before. You can't appreciate the incredible sound design until it's absolutely filling the air around you. Not just the music, but the klaxons and the moments of dead silence.

The rest of it was spent creating one of the most impactful companies that the world has ever seen.

Are you talking about Uber? More convenient, cheaper taxis? Sure, I like that as much as the next person, but it's hardly one of the most impactful companies in history.
I suspect it depends on whether you view Musk as an unparalleled world-changing genius, just a good businessman with an instinct for good fields to invest combined with a talent for hiring the right smart people, or an overhyped hack who got lucky (anecdotally my personal feeling is that most people on HN seem to fall into these categories with ratio 5:1:3)

Either of the last two could conceivably be considered an insult given the difference in jobs, and creativity and control inherent in the task of directing.
It doesn't matter: torrents hardly enables it to exists, any more than ftp does; its just the current tool of choice for piracy.

You ban it, and they'll switch to something else, and you'll have done nothing but make things slightly less convenient but with relatively large cost to enforce. Why not just do the job properly and ban general purpose computers, limited to government approved and locked down hardware, os and apps?
The U.S. Needs to Make IP Policy a Priority, Now
I think I've had all the same thoughts about 2001.

However, I'm surprised you got your family to sit through it. I don't know any kids under say 10 who could pay attention long enough. Heck, I don't know many adults that could either these days!
Huh. I didn't know Bitcoins could be flipped.
A concern with people that write and prepare patents for inventors is that, in the desire to attack "patent trolls", the courts and laws have gone so far as to harm the basic rights of small inventors. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If this harming of rights were true, then one could arguably expect funding for small startups to decline since those small startups would have less ability to protect their intellectual property and be more vulnerable to established competitors, which would result in the small startups having a lower likelihood of success.

As noted in the article, numbers for startups have declined, which lends credence to the idea that the courts and laws have gone too far. Furthermore, other jurisdictions (China) are picking up the slack and seeing increased startup activity.
Meanwhile, for contrast regarding fear of politicians: In my London borough, my local ex Member of Parliament a few years back praised police after they used anti-terror powers to stop him while he was taking pictures of a bike path...

I go to a gym once a week. When I started 5 years ago, I was spending like 20 minutes doing high-intensity strength training. It was enough to make a steady progress and build muscles albeit slowly. After 4 years I hit a plateau. So now I spend like 50 minutes in a gym still once a week to continue the process.

I doubt that I can stick to anything that requires more frequent efforts. 15 years ago I begun to train karate, but training twice a week for 2 hours was too much so I eventually dropped out.

I think we are rewarded with "tolerance" which we interpret as love, based on our perception of the cat; if it is our own we see it as love; if it is someone else's, we think it is a friendly cat.
This is not the ignorance of the crowd, it is the insight of one informed individual. Dismissing as irrelevant all concerns except those that have already been exploited would be closer to being "the [self-inflicted] ignorance of the crowd" in these matters.

His HN comments certainly indicate a lack of self awareness. Or maybe a sense of self.
Bugs happen.

What is likely is that security agencies with their larger staffs and budgets do discover many of them before the private sector. It's certainly plausible that the NSA knew about this new class of attacks before we did.

BTW -- forget about CPUs. My biggest concern is with the chips that get less security attention: GPUs, network chips, USB controllers, etc. Those are likely just as bug-ridden or more.
You're also right, in the end it's just a matter of definitions. Maybe if I don't care about paying a high amount of taxes (but I insist it should be a fair system) I will be called a socialist by some. And actually "fair" is also a nice debate starter.

On the other hand, saving a bank with taxpayers money is somehow often regarded as capitalistic. And somehow, creating almost all money as a dept of less wealthy people to more wealthy people, forcing said less wealthy people to pay rent to the more wealthy people for most of their lives is also called capitalistic. These are strange times. Perhaps all this is indeed only corrected with some true socialism :)
I don't think the negotiators representing the German universities belong in that camp :)
Ask HN: How to handle user management for a SaaS without SAML support?
As a company the usage of various SaaS is quite common (e.g. DockerHub, Github, Google Analytics for techblogs, ...).
Some of those services offer auth interfaces like SAML (LDAP, Active Directory). Github is one. Some services offer nothing in this direction. DockerHub is one.

Often the usage of a private account (eg in Github) make sense to keep history, resume and so on. Even google is doing this. See https://opensource.google.com/docs/github/#accounts
The issue here: You are not able to get a mapping to the employee because their username, email or avatar can be quite wired/different.

The big issue appears when the employee is leaving the company. That is the main reason for this Ask HN.

I "dream" from a kind of engineers self service center.
A web ui that has several "plugins". Each plugin related to one service (Github, Dockerhub, GA for techblog and so on).
Every person who wants to see the analytics of the techblog requests access via this web ui. In the background a mapping between their google account and the company email / employee identifier is maintained. And the user is connected to your GA account via an API call to google. This could be done with various services.
In the background a cronjob is running and asking the LDAP / Active Directory if this user is still active (i assume that when an employee is leaving that the AD account is disabled/deleted). If the user is not active anymore, access on all services will be revoked automatically.

I think that this problem is faced by many companies.
Maybe this is a free startup idea.

How you deal with this in your company? Or what solution you use / suggest / refer to?
Or is there already a open source version of my dream service center?
Or any reason why this is a dumb idea and you have a better alternative in mind?
You don't even need to go that far, just generate a bunch of UUIDs and sell them to people.
I am wondering on the cost benefits this has with Apple. While it is insignificant with the iMac Pro, it will be important once it is filter down to entry level.

Apple now basically have its own IP in everything. Instead of sourcing and paying IP or chips, they can now mix and match their own and build with TSMC. All with the help of iPhone's R&D. I am pretty sure the next one on the list is WiFi and Bluetooth.

This a potential saving of up to $50 in BOM cost. If you tell most PC vendor a extra $50 profits per machine they would have their eyes wide open.

This roughly translate to a $100 cheaper Retail pricing, but given it is Apple they will likely use this saving to put YET another silly features on the Macbook to sell it at the same price.
If you know what you're doing, the UI/UX of a native desktop application can be light-years better than that of a web application. For almost any purpose.

SaaS, by contrast, is typically easier to monetize, distribute, and update; it can also be easier to build, depending on functionality and UI complexity.
Reading everyone's comments, knowing nothing about this stuff, I had a random question:

Does all this create an opportunity for another chip line (architecture) to capture some of the server market?

I'm thinking specifically of SPARC. How far behind is SPARC now? A decade? Is that gap surmountable?

Given that 1) both AMD and Intel have issues, and 2) the commentariat have written the variety of ARMs are a mess too, and 3) maybe the people who care (those with server farms) will mitigate risks by adding a completely different architecture to the mix (prefer hetero vs mono culture).

Just curious.
Highlights:

> 1. In terms of total returns, residential real estate and equities have shown very similar and high real total gains, on average about 7% per year. ... The observation that housing returns are similar to equity returns, yet considerably less volatile, is puzzling.

> 2. We find that the real safe asset return has been very volatile over the long-run, more so than one might expect, and oftentimes even more volatile than real
risky returns.

> 3. ...our data uncover substantial swings in the risk premium at lower frequencies that sometimes endured for decades, and which far exceed the amplitudes of business-cycle swings.

> 4. Comparing returns to growth, or “r minus g” in Piketty’s notation, we uncover a striking finding. Even
calculated from more granular asset price returns data, the same fact reported in Piketty (2014) holds true for more countries and more years, and more dramatically: namely “r >> g.” ...globally, and across most countries, the weighted rate of return on capital was twice as high as the growth rate in the past 150 years.

The patreon/kickstarter model is much better, but the issue with that from the industry's perspective is that it pays artists more or less directly from their fanatical core of devoted fans. You see this model at work on Twitch as well, where a small group of "subscribers" can support a stream that is viewed by the much larger group of followers.

The reason the industry doesn't like it is it requires fanatical fans. It doesn't fit with a model of bland, mass-appeal content; the kind of stuff that everyone likes but nobody loves.
