To clarify: Gentoo did no harm. Many Gentoo users cited the risks of prebuilt binaries in their evangelism of Gentoo. That perceived risk remains an undercurrent in people’s thinking today, even though we’ve generally since realized that prebuilt binaries aren’t the risk we were led to believe they were back then. I blame the Gentoo evangelists of yesterdecade for this persistent “anti-binary” mindset, not Gentoo itself.

PowerPool malware exploits ALPC LPE zero-day only 2 days after disclosure
I think one side of the aisle is definitely more to blame than the other for this manufactured controversy, but to be fair the Democrats also intentionally conflate the pension and healthcare liabilities, for somewhat similar reasons as the Republicans. Democrats have put themselves in the position of implicitly defending pay-go funding for pensions because they don't want to spook public sector unions at the state level where pay-go is the norm. (At the federal level the USPS was the outlier for using pay-go, rather than fully funding liabilities.)

It's indefensible policy wise. The USPS is capable of fully funding the pension liabilities and are making solid progress. It's the healthcare liabilities which are bankrupting them, but Congress has prohibited them from cutting retiree healthcare benefits even though the USPS deliberately (and smartly) negotiated for that flexibility in the union contracts.
Most people will always flock to the “free” option that all their buddies are on. It’s entirely possible for me to host streaming video on my web server that I pay for. Hell, it may even be within my skill set to deploy it. But if you watched my video(s) on my sever, there would be no easy, one-shot way to populate similar videos on all my friends own web servers. The same applies to (micro)blogging services like Facebag and the Tweeter.

You get what you pay for, and most don’t want to pay a subscription fee to watch random cat videos whenever the feeling strikes.
The counterpoint to your potential Instagram downfall is that "kids these days" are making "Finsta" accounts, or fake accounts that they only add their close friends to, so they can post things they don't want the family seeing. Facebook tries very hard to enforce people using their real names, something that Instagram doesn't need to do.
In PoC||GTFO [1], there are a lot of playful file tricks where a PDF is a ZIP file, or an ecrypted volume is a PDF file, etc...

I think you're ignoring the capabilities and UX that desktop can provide vs. mobile. You're essentially asking for what Ubuntu did with Unity and GNOME with... well, GNOME, in that they're shoehorning a mobile/touch UX into a desktop. That isn't always the way to go.

Who's really the sucker when they can just keep counting on forever increasing real-estate valuations? Even in the 2008 collapse, banks got bailouts and the market today is just as ridiculous as it was pre-2008.[1] "Too big to fail." The cars, the private school, they're nothing but a couple years of home appreciation with a generous tax writeoff discount. Free money, no work required. Houses in the middle of the desert and homes that have burned to the ground, are worth more than a garage full of Ferraris these days.

Savers are stupidly working hard and socking away meager sums rather than hopping on the housing gravy train.

I don't think all regulations are bad, but in my opinion the EU hasn't been adding great regulations, GDPR IMHO wasn't great, I think it does harm innovation and even worse doesn't add much value.

If you delete your FB account and they remove you from the public but still use your data privately, for the average Joe, does it really matter? Also does Joe care?

I think Joe doesn't care, and the negatives will outweigh the positives.

Tech (FAANG) probably should have some regulation, but I am really concerned with the tech people (HN) being so acceptive of regulations that are obviously bad.

I'd say defending terrible regulation is not better either.

This worldview does not take into account network effects, which consolidate the aggregate investment of many people onto a few bad projects. For example Common Lisp is a more effective language than Javascript and always the wrong choice. Corollary: ClojureScript is ecosystem-compatible with Javascript, and TBD if it is a long run better choice!
I'd say it's arguably a degenerate case, but it's very arguable.

Probably if Babbage had employed watchmakers, he could have got it done, but clockwork run on springs isn't as impressive as massive, clanking machinery driven by steam engines.

He would still have had the problem of driving typesetting equipment, but that seems like a smaller problem. Output on punched paper tape was the solution the later generation chose, and would have worked.

Amusingly, the original telegraph inventions (plural) output dots on paper, but accidents of finance left us with the inferior audio clickery. Sort of like how we are still using x86.

> is the case against all down to Google's ownership of the project?

My main issue is that Google hosts your site and tracks all of your visitors directly, whereas you never (directly) see any of those visits. This of course depends on your definition of "ownership of the project" and whether that extends to "ownership of your site and its visitors".

> these seem like issues with Google's cache and hosting, not the spec.

Based on your brief description, these don't sound like they could be issues with the cache or hosting; rather they sound like they're likely with Google's JS implementations of AMP JS libraries.

In the US, there are spanish streaming services available and Chinese streaming services available. You can find movies from every country. It's a free market, and services from other countries are allowed. If they did what you said, it would be difficult for foreign streaming services, and even small American services to exist. And it would just concentrate the industry further in a few big companies.
Its very diverse. Most people dont realise and I often see people say 'I want to work in marketing'' which is about as specific as saying 'I want to work in IT'.

Even with advertising alone there is 1) buying it, 2) concepting the brand message 3) writing the specific content 4) creating how it looks 5) creating the material and 6) Placing it 7) project managing the process 8) analysing the results - all as separate fields.

And within above people can specialise in specific categories like online, above the line (e.g. billboards), below the line offline (e.g. snail mail), TV, sponsorship etc

And that's just getting ads live....

I googled 'types of marketing jobs' and read about 5 articles and they all have different guides about what makes marketing roles and none seems to cover it.... One article put sales in marketing which is a common misunderstanding of what marketing is, and several times I've seen companies put top sales management in charge of marketing because 'they can sell' which does not work as its a surprising different skill set.

But here's a couple of articles to cover the common areas;

Individuals who run their own business are far more vulnerable to the harm form GDPR than well-resourced enterprises are.

“this regulations that stifle” was in somewhat broken syntax, which led me to believe that it was saying something to the effect that (s)he was speaking of regulations in general and saying that they stifled innovation as a whole. Perhaps your mental parse didn’t have that connotation, and I could have been wrong in seeing it that way.
You still watch what you want out of what's available to you. The question is, what is this going to do to what's available? Will it result in more local content, or less non-local? One of those increases your options; the other decreases them.
> It’s counterproductive to label all regulations as if they’re the same.

I don't see where all regulations were labeled. What's counterproductive is to ignore an obvious trend. And despite the differing motives of the recent tech legislation, their effects are similar and can be summarized by these effects as a whole. I'm not sure where this trend of looking at what laws are "designed" for vs what they actually do came from, but I hope pragmatism returns one day. In the interim, I wish legislators would just sit on their hands.

Maybe not naive but I think never trusting your own home is just a recipe for paranoia. You have no reason not to trust your home unless some actor had reason to do so from the onset. It's not a trivial matter to bug someone's home or bedroom without their detection unless you have free and clear access.

Edit: Just now realizing that you meant we shouldn't trust encryption and phones, not our home. Whoops. Leaving my response for posterity and lulz.

- Inter-thread latency 64b- across packages

"After 2020, lidars will probably be significantly smaller -- the size of a credit card or a postage stamp, according to the report."

This seems unusual to me. I presume that it costs something to make LIDARs smaller. Unlike with consumer electronics, though, there's almost no need to make them smaller. Assuming autonomous cars are the primary use of LIDAR in the future, why invest into making them smaller than they already are?

Yes, I understand PFS, ratcheting and all that. But you're talking about stuff captured off the wire. And yes, that can be protected with PFS. Even OpenVPN does that. But I thought that we were talking about devices and stuff stored on them. Even if all transport had PFS, devices and encrypted files all have passphrases and/or secret keys.
I know it was a "stupid" question. But, sometimes I do that in the hopes that someone will provide a guide to a better understanding of the topic. Plus, HN is a good place for anecdotal stuff and "war stories" that are hard to find on other parts of the WWW.
The author of this article is a genius, able to express the problem so clearly. These types of regulation that have been coming through the EU are good for the biggest of businesses. Complex and difficult to follow regulation allows the big companies to build a big moat, they have the money to build systems to satisfy the regulations, even to game the regulations. And no new companies will be able to disrupt them. Who's going to risk $60 million dollars on your startup before they get anywhere, just so they can comply with regulations?

EU, get ready for Google, Apple, Amazon, Disney, and Coca-Cola to choose what services and products you get, and how much you pay for them.

The thing about 401ks in the US is that you have to be working for a corporation to get one. If you are a 1099 none of your retirement savings can be tax-deferred. IRAs are kind of a joke compared to 401k and a lot of the tax benefits for "small businesses" don't really matter if you're a sole proprietorship with no other employees.

You should be able to cut the UV time down to a second or two, before you get problems with the stuff starting to melt from the radiative heat, even if you use a strong fan to cool the surface. This is worst-case, and I do think you can get away without a fan, but there might be edge cases.
If a law is going to require an algorithm, the algorithm should be supplied by the government, open and free for all to use and they should be responsible for the correctness of the results.
No offense, but maybe the market cap of the wealthiest corporations in the world isn't the measure we should be looking at for society health. And given where the world is headed, maybe we should be thinking about stifling tech.

That being said, this isn't the way to do it.
The Super Rich of Silicon Valley Have a Doomsday Escape Plan
Very interesting that you point to a Meditation book (The Mind Illuminated) and a Stoic book (A Guide to the Good Life).

I've read both, and I like both philosophies. While they both share similarities (non attachment, living in the present), it seems that in Vipasana you wouldn't try to get rid of a bad thouhgt by using your rationality. You would just observe it.

While Stoicism demands engaging rationality to overcome the emotion or bad thought.

Have you thought on how to reconcile the two? This is something I've been pondering for a while.
Common wisdom in 1998 was that search was a feature and the money was all in "portals", the all-in-one gateway to the Internet. Yes, most Americans with Internet access had tried Altavista/Lycos/Infoseek...and found them wanting. My go-to Internet start page in 1998 was Yahoo, and among older people it was often AOL.com or MSN.com.

Google's first major business deal was with AOL, and they promised AOL a guaranteed amount of revenue that would've bankrupted Google had they not delivered on it. Those aren't negotiating terms you agree to when it's clear (to other people) that everyone is going to use your product.
It's baffling that people are willing to pay for another walled garden.

There is an old-age pension scheme which is funded out of normal revenue (our constitution frowns of government revenues going into special pots of money). This is entirely separate from the system called superannuation where a mandatory fraction of your income goes to a retirement fund of your choice. (Obviously I am grossly simplifying).

From what little I understand of US politics, any move to something like superannuation gets called "privatizing social security", and is a no-go zone. On the other hand our government pension system is proudly socialistic and does not pretend to be an individual savings plan.

Social security seems very 20th century American in that it puts an individualistic veneer over a programme that makes more sense from a socialist point of view.
