You're downplaying the implication of "moving one part of the architecture to the client". This inversion of the model means the user is sovereign over their data. It means ad fraud (responsible for billions lost) is dealt a massive blow. It means the publisher doesn't have to watch hand after hand take from their revenue before it reaches them. It means the user, finally, can get paid for the limited commodity called "Attention".

As for what guarantees Brave won't do evil, look at our design principles. When it came to syncing data from one device to another, we designed it in such a way that we could never see what data was moving from device to device. Encryption on the machine shields all eyes, including our own, from your data. Consider also Payments--the user's ability to support content creators. Even here we implemented the ANONIZE protocol to protect your anonymity and privacy. That alone wasn't satisfactory, so we also channel the info through a VPN to mask your location as well.

All that we do remains open, and engineered in such a way that Brave couldn't abuse your trust even if we wanted to. This future friendly principle ensures that Brave couldn't turn sour on you in the future; not without a massive re-engineering effort beforehand. But even then, all of our code is open and auditable.

Google was "Don't be evil," but Brave is "Can't be evil." The difference is subtle, yet profound.
Yes, SCOTUS has repeatedly upheld binding arbitration clauses as valid, and that they even override state law and apply in cases of naked fraud by the company:

The headline is rather misleading. The EU parliament has approved it, the EU as a whole has not. The parliament is one step on the legislative process. National governments carry much more weight. Time to lobby your local politicians.

>There's this growing school of thought in the US that thinks it's the private sector's duty to "Take care of people".

It would seem to me the growing school of thought is it’s the taxpayers duty to “take care of corporations”.

It’s not the taxpayers job to buy Wal-Mart employees and their families food.

How can you conclude that an employer paying its employees enough so the don’t qualify for food stamps is “social welfare”? Food stamps in and of themselves are social welfare, the fact the employees qualify become corporate welfare.

Ah, yes the famous "news" conspiracy consisting of thousands of anonymous people who don't coordinate their activities with each other but are all somehow trying to bring down Tesla by independently reporting actual things that Musk or Tesla have said or done.

Or, Occam's Razor: the news is reporting this stuff because Musk made it newsworthy by constantly hyping and over-promising in the past. As a consequence of this self-initiated publicity, negative events concerning Musk and Tesla are now considered newsworthy, even if they wouldn't be for other executives/companies.

That being said, no matter what company you are, losing 5 C-suite executives in less than a year is extremely disturbing news and in almost all cases is usually followed by the company declaring bankruptcy in some form within a few months.
Going forward, they need to specify in their contracts with content providers that losing the right to sell new copies of a given work does not mean that customers who have already purchased that work can no longer stream and/or download it.
It's bizarre. I have been treated for ADHD with stimulants for years and when I walk my psychs office there is Adderall/Vyvanse and Shire Pharmaceutical paraphernalia all over the walls, posters, tote bags, little models of the brain stamped with "Adderall XR".
One problem with the "rent a gas car for long trips" approach is that for many people their long trips are at times or for events that a lot of people also need a gas car for. Rental cars may be hard to come by at such times, or may be very expensive.

> Unimaginably fast

From the article:

> I also like the load time estimation found in the bottom right corner -- that's a constant reminder how long it will take the page you're working on to load for your visitors. My resume page is pretty good on wait time -- 14 seconds and that includes a graphic in addition to a massive HTML file!

His "unimaginably fast" website took 14 seconds to load. Compare that to today's "bloated" sites like CNN's home page. Loads in 4.3 seconds, and finishes asynchronously loading all the bloat in 7.8 seconds.
That sounds like a distributed mainframe. Can I rent cycles on other peoples machines?

Disclosure: I work for Intel.

As far as I can tell nanometer is basically a marketing term now and will not be as important to performance as it has been in the past. Not only is there not a standard for what constitutes a Xnm chip these days (Intel, TSMC & Samsung all have different descriptions) but chips in the future will be heterogeneous in which features are a specific nanometer size. It's getting so expensive to reduce nanometer size that the next generation of products will have some 5 nanometer features, some 10 nanometer features, and some 7 nanometer features.

Chip packaging technology, power performance and advanced fabrication techniques (ex. EMIB, stacked die, EUV, die disaggregation) will decide who has the most performant chips from now on, not feature size.
Because at this point phones are kinda boring. The new chips seem cool, but look completely wasted on a phone. Where is the iPad Pro with the new chips? What about the long rumored MacBook with A-bionic whatever?

Nothing in todays announcement makes me want to upgrade my current iPhoneX. Better graphics on a tiny screen? Yawn. The basketball tracker demo was neat, but those are very specific use cases.

The Apple Watch looks like it is really coming into its own. They should have closed with that.

EDIT

You know what would have really blown the doors off the one more thing? If the iPhone Xr started at $499. That's how you grow the market.
This is not the motivation of players pushing for this law. They don't care about small players and instead want to push revenue for their content. There is no other elaborate explanation about a "modern copyright".

The law is specifically for big media publishers with huge legal support to increase bycatch IP enforcement in a broad manner.

It will improve absolutely nothing and is in general a bad law that has a huge potential to seriously hurt innovative content creators.

And I don't think that sticking it to fly-by-night operations is a socially desired outcome. That is heavily in opinion-land and I simply disagree.
I am not surprised. I have been following copyright and "digital" law for about two decades. Most people just haven't changed their minds on copyright, wiretaps or many other things. If you want to convince people it has to be better than "it ruins the Internet". Because a lot of people don't even like the Internet that much. They already see it as run by large companies, trash social media and various malicious things that may affect their kids or get them scammed. A lot of people that are "pro" Internet just haven't given it much thought, they are mainly accepting their own chosen status quo. And that is getting worse every year. All these things we are talking about like remixing, encryption and social media have been studied and talked about in the past. Unfortunately few people care about a solution, they are happy if they read Reddit, watch some porn and "fight" by clicking some links every couple of years. I guess that sound cynical, but if one side is saying what is in-line with the rest of society and the other doesn't really have a story then it is going to be what it is.
elsewhere it suggests “Python + Numba” and “Python + C” as possibilities. i have to assume that numpy would be okay. i mean, it’s close to being part of the standard library at this point.
"In 2014, Microsoft finally announced that Ballmer would retire, and in early 2014, Satya Nadella took charge. Nadella got Microsoft organized around mobile and the cloud (Azure), freed the Office and Azure teams from Windows, killed the phone business and got a major release of Windows out without the usual trauma. And is moving the company into augmented reality and conversational AI."

Okay, but:

- Microsoft is still irrelevant on mobile

- Azure already was four years old when Nadella took charge

- Windows 10 was not actually well-received

- Microsoft is irrelevant in Augmented Reality and conversational AI, which are already by themselves not that relevant

Microsoft can't be Apple because Microsoft is uncool. It always will be uncool. It can't do the transformation to a fashion brand like Apple.

I'll make another prediction: The days of "revolutionary" consumer products are over. People won't be living in VR/AR, they'll keep watching stuff on their phone/tablets/TVs. There will be more innovation in B2B and Microsoft is actually in a better position here in the long run.

I don't understand why car rental places haven't tried to address this yet: e.g. offer drop-off and pick-up (of the car, not me), including evening and weekends.

You can sort of get this through Turo, but you don't get the network benefits (one-way rentals, easy replacement, etc.).
I agree with this. I also believe this is why socially normal (i.e. not socially awkward, not shy) people can have problem talking in crowds. Needs more cognitive overhead to analyze what words may cause what on certain people.
I appreciate the walk down memory lane; curious what the web would have been had it been for something client-side like that, rather than web bugs.

Better models definitely exist, and I'm convinced Brave has proposed one with great potential. Let's catch up in 10 years to discuss this again ;)
The biggest pattern is that the entire automotive industry is changing course in a big hurry, in the direction of electric cars. All of Tesla's executives are now in very high demand with lots of offers coming their way.
Counterpoint: until I can drive around town as conveniently as I could in the EV, I won’t buy a gas car. (I won’t anyway, but....)

People focus on the extra time spent charging on trips (which is real but not huge) and ignore the extra time spent filling up at the local gas station every week even when you’re not taking any trips.

Honestly, the issue I have is I don't care if modern databases try to solve those problems, I only care if they _actually_ solve those problems, instead of them lying that they provide CAP and are distributed/infinitely scalable, when in fact, it isn't.
True, but the reason it doesn't deploy it is that it has decided it cannot drive the U.S. frackers out of business, even if it drives them into bankruptcy. The initial investor may lose their investment, but the oil keeps flowing. So, they are trying to bring the price back up by holding back some of their capacity. Either way, it doesn't seem like the amount of money they got when a barrel of oil cost $125 or more, is coming back any time soon.
I bet you dollars to donuts that the average person doesn't spend 5 figures on a car. They spend 4 figures on a second hand model.
It could very well be the other way around too: product is getting too popular and doesn't have ads, but directly competes with our product that does have ads.

Reader/iGoogle didn't have ads, but stopped you from visiting places that did have ads.

Inbox didn't have ads, but was directly pulling users away from gmail which does.

It still takes ~30 mins, and the one near me isn't open on Sunday afternoons, which cuts into my Monday morning and pushes a 2 day rental to a 3 day one.

Yep. Here in Portland we also have services like ReachNow & Car2Go which have the cars sprawled out around the city rather than needing to go to a specific place.

As a cyclist, I wish more of these services (Enterprise included) would have cars with bike racks on them. Car2Go did with their Smart-car fleet, but that was phased out.

There are plenty of cases where it's preferable for those things to be owned and maintained by core teams. One of the biggest benefits of the Linux Kernel is that drivers are distributed and maintained as part of the core kernel. Likewise, one of the biggest disadvantages of not having this model is in software like Jenkins, where recently the creator of Jenkins explicitly called this out as one of their biggest problems. It's not so cut and dry to say what pieces of "added functionality" should be "core" or "not-core".
I got a 2013 one not long ago with a 24kwh battery (with about 20kwh of capacity remaining). I paid well under $10k for mine with a bunch of Nissan incentives (warranty and MOT cover for 3 years, things like that).

In fuel and tax savings it'll have paid for itself within those 3 years (versus a petrol or diesel car), after which it's effectively a free, zero-tax, zero-fuel-cost car.

My point being that an EV is already an absurdly good deal if you can make it fit your lifestyle. Also, I realize I'm biased, but I don't really get the range anxiety argument. If I run out of gas in a car I need to get towed to a gas station. If I run out of electricity I need to get to literally any wall outlet.

I think the number of spots you need is actually similar. A car will occupy a spot for much more time, but it will need it much less frequently since it’s only necessary for long trips.

That’s why your nearest supercharger is out in the suburbs: it’s for travelers, not locals.

> They're simply an unreliable company

I don't think it's intentional, but it's a side-effect of Google's bonus structure[1]. There's more money to be made (by employees) if their team successfully launches a new product. Maintaining existing products isn't as profitable, in fact, launching and deprecating popular products as frequently as possible is the optimal scenario for maximizing bonuses.

I see the ability to use machine learning algorithms to take the digital exhaust of a system and post process it into an algorithm for anticipating the outputs of that process to be quite powerful, and is having an impact on a lot of systems today.

Could you elaborate on that ? What does that mean ?
Very cool! It's actually simpler / smaller than I expected. Even back then I imagined CPUs having a lot more transistors.

The only real danger I could think of is if you have a database administrator working for you and it says as much on LinkedIn, you could then check that DB admins qualifications that they have also provided on LinkedIn and determine the specific tech stack that your company is using.

I read the answer but didn't understand the answer given. Can someone elaborate on this? Wasn't the original 6502 an "integrated" chip?

Is my understanding of a "discrete" CPU incorrect?
Ask HN: Are You Registered to Vote in Your Country?
I realize registered to vote may not make sense in all countries. I believe Australia has mandatory voting, so everyone who is an adult citizen is presumably registered, and I'm not at all sure how china works and how much the votes matter there (I know that there is only indirect national representation).

As well, I know in the United States, where I reside, former felons are disenfranchised in states like Florida where 10% of the adult population are not granted the right to vote even after completing their sentences (though there's an amendment to the constitution, the Voting Restoration Amendment, on the ballot to change that).

In any case, I'm curious if people are registered to vote, and why or why not.
Wrong on both counts. No, you can't beat HomePod with just random speakers, and yes, the speaker emphatically IS the product with HomePod.
