I'm stuck on deciding what my primary mail provider will be. I do not mind paying a few bucks a month, would anyone have a suggestion? Regarding drive replacement, I will probably host a nextcloud instance.
It still does a lot of callbacks to Google. the solution here is definitely switch to Firefox, but if you're really stuck on Chrome you could try Ungoogled chrome [1].

What company is going to advertise months in advance that they might be going bankrupt? That's the surest way to make it come true.

This seems like some kind of weird libertarian fantasy where companies and employees have access to the same information and use it to make rational economic decisions. In reality, almost any failing company will use its payroll obligations as a bank of last resort to squeeze out that last chance of turning things around, and there's no contract that would protect employees from that.
It's really weird, it happens on my "new" 2016 MBP and a work machine. But I can't tell why I'm getting slowdowns.

The glass is testable though and would quickly be found. Dark matter and dark energy are assumed to exist with no experimental observations occurring. Every experiment has so far failed to show the existence of said entities.

One possibility is that we do not have any way to find said entities with any means at our disposal. Another possibility is that they do not exist (just a figment of imagination) and that the theories requiring them are wrong. In that case, one should be looking for other theories that might be a more capable explanation.

The question here is to determine when or whether we should stop looking for these entities and maybe move onto another model/theory.

The basic assumption of all gravity based theories and models is that the universe is electrically neutral everywhere and that magnetic and electric fields have no possible influence at stellar, interstellar, galactic and intergalactic distances. Whether this assumption is true or not is difficult to gauge since we only have visual observations (at all sorts of frequencies) and cannot actually get out there to make the required measurements.

So we have to fall back to what we think is reasonable and work from there.

Well, my Gmail account dates to 2004 but my personal domain dates to December 2000! I've lost domains that I continued to pay for, in fact I'm pretty sure that Zoho was paying for their domains as well.
This is maybe a stupid question, but why don’t violins have markings to indicate the notes. Obviously you wouldn’t have physical frets like a guitar because that would alter the sound, but one of the reasons beginners sound so awful is because it takes years before they can reliably play in tune. Is there a reason why?
IE lost users because it was abysmal. And the reason for that was they wanted to keep people on the desktop.

Who knows... if IE was already as good as early Chrome, perhaps there would be no Chrome.
i found that on my machines Chrome 69 is one of the fastest and consumes the least amount of ram of all Chrome releases so far.
on mac the difference between firefox and chrome is night and day for both speed and memory consumption, unfortunately. even safari 12 fares better than firefox in this regard.
Most companies you rent stuff from enjoy the benefit of scale. Car rental companies operate cars at a lower cost than the average car owner.

Still, “owning X” and “getting a working X for a while at a time and place most convenient to you” are two different services.
With regards to privacy I trust Apple more than Google, if only for the fact that their business doesn't operate on the principle of violating your privacy.
This doesn't matter.

The people who fix your computers or help you over the phone are the family friends who are geeks/programmers. Once the geek herd has moved on to something else, then the mass follows whatever they're currently using, because they're the ones that advocate the change. It will take a few years, but once Google has lost the geek vote, they will die a slow death like Microsoft did. At this point my money is on Microsoft taking the geek mindshare back.

This looks exactly like what happened when Chrome started killing IE.
I'd say 95% of people are happy that their accounts are all synchronised and follows them around. They pick up any device and carry on where they left off, similar to how Kindle bookmarks are synchronised across your devices.

IMHO the vast majority are not interested in understanding in the technology, they just want their stuff to work.

80 years ago if you had a car then generally you'd need some understanding, 30 years ago spark plugs needed changing every 5k miles, points needed cleaning etc etc. Now anyone can hop in a car and without doing anything the first problem you'd probably have is the tyres wearing out.

People don't want to know how or why, they just want it to be reliable and easy to use.
There are a number of things were Chrome is worse, actually.
IIRC, that's all in place, and has been for quite a while.

The problem seems to be that one side there's the Government(s) pushing this legislation through, and on the other side we have the above organisations along with increasingly outraged Netizens. In the middle there's a gaping abyss, and no matter what we try (so far) we can't seem to bridge the abyss to get ourselves properly represented. I don't know of a way that would enable us to effectively protest and actually get some results. Goodness knows, my "elected reprsentative" does eff-all to represent me!

There is quite a large downside to app bundles, that is that it requires you (the developer) to hand over your app signing key to Google. The fact that updates from the play store are signed end to end is pretty great in my opinion, this doesn't apply so much if you give away your signing key.

As far as I can tell it's not a technical reason why they ask for your key - bundletool [1] supports generating a set of signed APKs (.apks, APK set archive) in the same way the play store would from an app bundle. Android Studio's GUI could just as easily generate that to upload directly to the play store instead of an app bundle. This would net the same benefits to the end users and the same level of convenience to the developer, all whilst keeping your private keys private.

Quite likely, the Walmart ones are better, at least if it comes to taste and looks. Unless you're an expert baker. And then your cookies probably still aren't better, you will just claim they are, and it's polite to agree with that assessment. In fact, it's polite in our society to agree that any half-good DIY attempt has better quality than commercial equivalent, even though it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Diseases and host populations co-evolve. Disease co-opts a human civilisation's own behaviours and vectors of exchange for itself.

Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome develops this idea in the context of the Roman empire, showing how the co-development of trade, commerce, urbanisation, and medical knowledge (or ignorance), interacted with other factors, including wars, climate change, financial crises, and religion, to provide the conditions for the emergence and spread of disease.

Thinking we are beyond diseases' reach strikes me as extreme hubris.

That feels like whitewashing part of the blame that applies to engineers and product developers. We don't get to say "oh it's those pesky money people, how dare they", while drawing a salary from the same pockets.

It's not expensive at all compared to cloud hosting to keep hardware running. Hardware is really stable and usually runs for years without any issues. You can even use colocation and remote hands, it isn't expensive.
Only market forces can alter the course now. A decision has been made at the CEO level to aggressively use Google’s grip on the browser and search engine markets in any way that helps their bottom line and has been calculated to not trigger a massive PR backlash among the general public. The rank-and-file Googlers tasked with enabling these misdeeds have a simple choice: remain complicit or refuse to work on these products and accept the potential consequences.

> So does Docker now provide containers that can guarantee immunity from (certain) privilege escalation attacks?

In my opinion the isolation mechanism of major container software like docker is flawed and thinking about it gives me headaches. One problem is that you need a daemon running as root. It's better if you don't have to leave the user space at all. To be fair plash relies on fuse and newuidmap/newgidmap which are suid, so there is at least a little bit happening with root access rights. But it's comparably very little and there is nothing self-baked running as root.

There are many details that for me are unclear in docker, one out of the of the tip of my head, is that the usage of a overlay mount is disabled by non-root users (also inside user maps) because the kernel does not want to guarantee that a bogus setup can cause a security issue.

> Would you move to Docker/runC?

Never :-) The whole point of this is to not use Docker/runC. One of the core aspects of plash is that containers should just be normal processes. Processes is an interface that existed since decades, for containers I need to learn a new tool just to kill one or list all that are running (use ps/kill in plash)
After all that I have some trust issues. Btw. how should I be sure that Chrome wouldn't copy my documents from my drive and send them to Google?
I started using an iPhone, partially to get away from google services.

I don’t know for sure if I can trust Apple with my data, but on the balance of probabilities I feel slightly safer with the company that makes its revenue from hardware sales, vs the company that makes its revenue from advertising.

I always preferred "intr,hard", because having filesystem operations fail really stresses out a lot of userspace applications. Most developers haven't thoroughly tested their handling of "what if this disk operation fails?", because it's a pain to do and a rare case.
You need to look at this as solving puzzle piece by piece. In essence they are getting better and better at doing sophisticated controllers for multi-DOF robots. Atlas is 35-DOF robot and we get amazed by it. Human body is 230+ DOF mechanism. If they can continue on their current path they might be able to produce very usable robot that can replace human in laborious work. Sure, it’s long way to go but so someone would need to develop this tech nonetheless. Human labor is the largest industry on the planet worth 10s of trillions of dollars and is the biggest bottleneck. A 10 or 20 years investment for a trillion dollar business opportunity definitely makes sense.

Intermittent, but very cheap when available, power sources ruin the market for baseload, even if they can't cover 100% of the power demand. When they ARE available, they crash the price of power. Baseload sources depend on the market being there most of the time to pay back their costs.

High capital cost systems, like what fusion reactors will be, are ruined economically if they can only charge a lot only a small fraction of the time. They will find it impossible to compete against sources with low capital cost but high operating cost (like, say, turbines operated off hydrogen produced at times of low power prices). The latter may have horrible round trip efficiency, but that won't matter.

"And the advantages in theory..."

What advantages are those? Fusion has inherent DISadvantages that are fundamental, most importantly low volumetric power density compared to fission reactors.
Well, I think you’re paying for the better speed in chrome by sacrificing your privacy. Isn’t that how this all works?

You consent to being tracked -> google gets money off of tracking you -> google can pay more engineers to work on chrome and make it faster -> you get more tied into chrome’s performance quirks and ecosystem -> google gets more money by tracking you -> and so on...

If that sounds fair to you, then none of google’s actions should bother you (probably). But for me personally, I switched over to Firefox a long time ago when I noticed that chrome was becoming increasingly user-hostile in design.
I assume this is based on a lot of (web/mobile) devs being on HN and them using macOS predominantly based on conferences etc.?

I'd agree with that assessment, macOS probably first, Linux second, but then you have to remember how many Windows users there are. The HN regulars are probably mostly on Mac/Linux, but I'd imagine just the drive by Windows traffic would put it at the top spot.
I Uninstalled Chrome a few days ago, more due to the fact I don't need it. Safari has been my default for a long time, specially due to the fact I can use 1Blocker across the phone, iPad and my Mac. FF's Containers has replaced Chrome's profile features for me. Infact I have gone ahead and made a seperate container for Google and defaulted google domains to it, just like what the FaceBook container does.
Similar to Trello but for e-learning. Cool!
Its a harsh but fair analogy. The region has lost its soul.

People moving there have little intention of setting down roots and staying long term. People who have lived there long term are just waiting to cash out on their house and move far away and just hoping the local tech ecosystem doesn’t implode first. Employees think they’re playing the companies by taking big pay then getting out and going elsewhere. Companies think they’re playing employees by having a seemingly never ending supply of “miners” looking to live and work under conditions most “normal” people would laugh at. Yes, it’s a mess.
I feel working in an executive role, where most of the day goes into meetings is easier than working for the same time in a technical role.

Google strikes off a right balance between annoying and convenient. It's kicking off all Privacy concerned people, Ad Block people, overopiniated people off it's platform indirectly.

Websites get less money from Firefox users per user then Chrome users. If Firefox users make less money, going to future, devs will not optimize for it.

If the only remaining Firefox users block Ads and block analytics, I do not think google or some other search engine will pay to them to keep their default. There is literally no benefit of having such people on your platform.
Obviously fake news, they never 'restores consciousness' and they lied, which is not unusual since we see time after time these 'vegetative state' stories are simply made up.

"The results seemed promising. As Newsweek (and many other publications) reported, although Guillaume did not fully recover consciousness, he showed signs of what’s called minimal consciousness—a significant improvement. He could follow objects with his gaze and move his head on command. "

Light acts like a 2D wave when it's linearly polarised. But it can also have circular polarisation - which rotates - or some mix of polarisations.

If you put a vertical polariser in front of one slit and a horizontal polariser in front of the other slit, the usual pattern of fringes disappears. So polarisation does matter for the experiment.

But I'd strongly suggest not thinking of light in wave and/or particle terms. In Quantum Field Theory everything is made of fields, which are more like carriers of probability which strongly hint at some weird non-local properties, than a nice smooth lake surface waiting for some ripples.

If you try to apply physical intuition to QM it soon stops making any sense at all. So IMO it's best not to start there.

What I don't like about these "discovery" apps in general, is that they tend to show you the best of "topic x" based on some algorithm. The algorithm is usually using some type of user provided data. But they usually fail to take into account my level of knowledge about this topic. So I end up only finding good podcasts in the form "topic x for people who have no idea how x works". I want the opposite.

Honestly I don’t think I even do that many actual searches any more, maybe I work too much, or am just odd?

The most frequent services I use, after thinking about it, are:

- local business/food/bars (hours, reviews)
- driving directions
- accessing email to confirm a signup/lookup a receipt/license etc
- events, theater showtimes
- flight prices
- pay bills etc
- check reviews/HN/ random articles.

Most of these I access directly or could be provided by any basic app/search engine.

After reviewing this list, you are left with a few extremely low margin services and a dismal grouping of actual usage, at least seemingly from Google’s point of view.

I’m not saying I’m better than a non power user (mom etc), but are they really worth more? Does clicking on Pinterest links half of the day, or forwarding political/funny emails really have value to 3rd party companies? (Google etc)

Maybe in the short term, there is a circular, ad revenue generation model, but is it really sustainable?

I ought to argue the point. I will do so by RAA.

Assume that energy users do not learn to cope with just renewables. In that case CO₂ emissions go as at present, ie. the CO₂ content in the atmosphere increases by about 2.25ppm/year. In 2050 that works out to about 500ppm and in 2100 to 600ppm (these are conservativish numbers, since they assume that the 2.25ppm/year stays flat while in reality it has been increasing steadily).

ITER is not thought to lead all the way to fusion power; at least one more round of experiments is required afterwards. The Wikipedia page mentions 2035, so assuming that the next round also takes 20 years and only one more round is necessary, the first actual fusion reactors could start construction around 2055, and large amounts of fusion power could perhaps be available around 2075 or 2095, when CO₂ content is 550-600ppm. This is absurdly high, therefore the assumption is untenable.
