Yes. This isn’t quite what the author was talking about though. They used the term “sandboxing” to mean that dependency rules in the build system can act on things that they don’t depend on. You’re talking about a higher level sandboxed view of the file system.

The kind of sandboxing you’re talking about can be mostly solved for any build system with some wrapper shell scripts, or an environment shell script. That’s how most people are doing it.

At my work, there’s a crazy sandboxing system for Linux written as a C program that actually creates an environment with a modified file system, and access to certain paths is strictly enforced... no process launched from inside this environment can access anything but the whitelisted paths, by any means. This is a very heavy hammer, and I suspect over the top and unnecessary. OTOH, this definitely prevents mistakes, and my company is large. I don’t know the history here, but the existence of a system like this leads me to assume there must have been some large and real pains that lead to the development of a heavy-handed sandbox.
You aren't getting this.

Let's break this apart a bit more slowly.

They did not blog about this.

Atlassian, the company hosting it, did not write the post.

Their customers, the people using Atlassian's servers, did write the post.

Fascinating, thank you for posting. I'm always intrigued by steam systems in places like NYC.
This is a quite questionable statement. There was a post here at HN a few days ago [1] and the article [2] says:

"Meanwhile, global warming lurches ahead. Greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow. So do solar and wind power. But do you know how much of the world’s primary energy comes from fossil fuels today? It’s 81 percent—the same as in 2006."

I didn't check the numbers by myself, but it sounds reasonable: while renewable sources grow, the consumption grows as well. So maybe we need nuclear power too in addition to solar/wind/etc? I don't see too much alternatives around.

>kicking the user out to Safari would significantly reduce the usability of the app

Am I the only one who HATES when apps open links inside a webview and you have to tap yet another button to open the link in Safari? Most apps do that and they annoy the hell out of me.
really appreciate your comment. want to learn more about this:

...presumably foisted on companies by the FDA to avoid liability...

because I had thought the foisting ran in the other direction. I had been under the impression that the companies want to avoid liability so they nudge the FDA into creating a regulation that supports what they wanted to do anyway. not sure.
I'm not sure pressing a button and waiting 10 seconds is a "negative user experience" tbh.
Their eggs aren't!
You’re discounting the security/authority that “medium.com” brings over a random domain name. You might get less traffic from HN and Reddit if you weren’t on Medium.

Edit: just because a few people (myself included) have a negative reaction to a Medium link doesn’t change the fact that many Medium links are upvoted on HN.

That capital C in the title weirds me out.
I'm sure the people who think they can determine for the rest of us what is "legitimate" hate speech, find it "sensational, vulgar or politically harmful content."
How much control do the app have over a web-view? Would it for example be able to log user input (steal passwords), or insert content (ads) ? Do the web view make it's own https request ?
> Thats pretty reductionist - so is every newspaper, cinema, and television station.

Indeed, and that's the key point here. That's what people are failing to understand.

> other side that would suggest that a large company like that would be inherently harmful without actually deliberately leveraging its market share in anticompetetive ways

You might claim that, but your burden of proof is very, very high. And that has nothing to do with monopoly or anti-trust, so you need to create a new law and regulatory framework to act on.

As I mentioned in another comment: The Supreme Court has defined market power as "the ability to raise prices above those that would be charged in a competitive market,"(8) and monopoly power as "the power to control prices or exclude competition."

CPMs are falling, users never had so much choice, and DDG, Snapchat and Tik Tok can easily enter the search, social media and ads market.

In other words, even if what you're saying is true, it has nothing to do with this discussion.

Quite natural. AI in market finance is a fraud for the moment.

AI models totally fail to do what classical (and parsimonious, explainable, cheap...) methods/algos/models achieve quite easily (BS, Hawkes, RFSV, uncertainty zones, Almgren-Chriss/Cartea-Jaimungal... etc.).
Actually, I'm tempted to say that AIs don't work at all.

I've seen so far funds leveraging "big data" with AIs (eg. realtime processing of satellite imagery, cameras, (more) news...) and get more/better information (than the others) to finally calibrate and use these (parsimonious) models, nothing (interesting) else.

Do not get fooled. Lots of banks announced that they use AIs, to surf on the hype, because today if you don't do AIs, you're not in, because today everyone is a Data Scientist, that's all.

But you can mvp fighter jets - thats what prototypes are?

Of course, it may seem to you like the majority of the work is done in the case of a prototype. This is not the case - a vast majority of the work that goes into developing a jet fighter consists of the documentation as to how fast it can fly, its flight ceiling, etc.

Maintnence manuals, and developing a supply chain to ensure we can have a resilient delivery despite war or changes in the economy.

Training programs, to ensure that pilots are able to safely learn to fly the thing

Testing, which of course requires that a prototype be built in the first place.
Especially with the swipe gestures on the new phones since the X, my pet peeve are apps that use web views inside their app inside of just opening Safari.

The worst offender is the Gmail app since half the links I click on there interact with cookies in the Safari app (account activation, notifications, etc). And Gmail will even keep nagging me to install Chrome which I will never do. Ugh, I really need to switch away from Gmail.

That pre-colonial farming in Africa required relatively few hours of labor is well-known. I don't have a great link but "female farming system" is a term to start from (seriously, I didn't make it up).

The reason, if I understand right, was that the limit on human population was set by disease not labor. In northern climates (where fewer of the diseases we evolved with thrive) instead the marginal farmer was on some stony hillside from which maximum effort could only just produce enough calories for winter.

I'm less sure whether such societies were involved in more warfare, it's possible (the men had time on their hands & soccer hadn't been invented...) but I don't know the data.

I also don't know how to extrapolate this to the future of our society.
There's definitely a stronger inclination within the "left" to attribute sex-/gender-specific trait differences to culture/environmental causes rather than genetics. I'm kind of interested in the challenge of picking out how far genetics predetermines things but as far as I know there's not really a scientific consensus - at least nowhere near as much as for climate change or GMOs?
I agree, and more so, it's something that most people feel more confident in assessing.

Put yourself in the position of someone that genuinely doesn't trust themselves to assess scientific evidence. One scientist article says one thing one week another the next, and they all feel vaguely related and unrelated.

If you can't trust yourself to weigh and understand the evidence yourself you instead look to the institutional pressures you think you understand.

In all the topics there is a well-constructed 'Them'
* GMOs: the FDA is largely controlled by the agriculture industry themselves, across parties and administrations. It's not irrational to fear that the FDA is not adequately regulating food.
* Vaccines: similar fears about the pharmaceutical industry are valid.

Both those industries have paid scientists, government regulators, and news organizations to spin data for their benefit and to avoid justice of different kinds.

*Global warming: the same people that seem to be overly concerned about cute owls and monkeys are "the liberals" which control the universities/research. Sure smog is bad, but (as one Denver taxi driver said to me once) "it smells like money." Sure they mean well, but they are likely to blow the issues out of proportion.

That's a system someone thinks they understand while who knows what an ice core really means.

TFA indicated that avoiding indicating identity/allegiance might help, but I'd like to see that study actually done.
> Literally the first sentence on this page describe the censored content as "sensational, vulgar or politically harmful content."

I know. Hate speech. Also, isn't that the same list that social media like facebook, reddit, etc use to censor now because leftists demanded it?

> Your argument that this is the same as the desire for blocking legitimate hate speech in the US is simply political inflammation

Wait. So who determines what is hate speech? You?

> It's not at all the same. Please stop.

It is the same. So please stop. Free speech doesn't exist to protect speech you agree with. It exists to protect speech you disagree with. It exists to protect hate speech.

Everything is hate speech if you actually bother to think about it. Is LGBT speech hate speech to muslims? What about speech against flat earthers? If I say that the earth is round, is that hate speech?

"Hate speech" is just an excuse used by tyrannical puritans to justify censorship speech they don't like.
This is not a situation where legality is in play, it's an Apple policy rejection. Apple can say it's "for legal reasons" but Apple is enforcing it, not the government. Nobody is suing OP.
I've seen very similar situations. My theory is it's because we have glorified assholes like steve jobs and every executive thinks they are the next jobs.

In my mind hacking is fiddling with things with a vague end result in mind and learning as you go. I think a lot of cracking falls into this category.
Thank you, this is the best comment so far.
Most of the popular online services have screwed up their interface.

I think it started with Digg. It was once a loved website. The screwed up the interface and everyone ran to Reddit.

Now Reddit has screwed up their interface too.

We all used to love Google for its simple and elegant web interfaces. Look at what a mess GMail is now.

If there is anything that more than 10 years of Web 2.0 teaches us, it is that once we host our content on another company's service, we are at the mercy of that company. They can take our content and serve it over absolute crap interface providing an absolute crap experience to our readers whenever they want to. They are never going to care about the presentation of the content the way the original author might. So I think it is time to take back control and host your own blogs. I know not everyone wants to buy a domain name, buy a VPS, set things up, and keep a blog running. And no, GitHub Pages, is not a solution. GitHub Pages is great today but if there is anything that more than 10 years of Web 2.0 teaches us, it is ... Do you see my point?

So as technologists, we need to think how we can make it easier so that anyone (from young kids to the suits type) can setup their blogs and publish content with ease. Any interesting solutions? Any takers?

Seriously, bandwidth just is SUPER cheap period. The fact that some people theoretically might not even have $4.99 to kick towards their "hobby" does not negate that fact.

Like I said above, I did all the stuff I did with nothing more than $5/$10 month cloud hosting plans. Almost no one is going to hit any kind of bandwidth limits these days unless they are trying to run SaaS or just pirating full BluRays in the dumbest ways possible. But we're not talking about those people, we're talking about hobbyist content creators.

There's a difference between being virtuous and signaling that one is virtuous. Neither is contingent upon the other.

> why can't these devices continue to help patients, but in a secure way

my guess is that they are subject to the usual security vs convenience trade off, that more security means more time and money spent gaining access to the devices for legitimate actors (e.g. nurses) which means some additional patient lives will be damaged or even lost.

of course, that may be well justified depending on how much dangerous or malicious hacking there is

15 years ago there were plenty of people paying $5 a month for shared hosting FTPing hand made HTML over. Now it is way easier and even tech people aren't hosting their own in general which is bad. Right now there are great JAM stacks out there. You could have your markdown formatted content in Git, rendered by Hugo, and then pushed to Cloudfront backed S3 for literally pennies a month and CDN'ed all around the world but hardly anyone does it. As tech people I think we are the most to blame posting to Medium because it is technologically easier than ever before to self host, yet most are too lazy.
It sure can. I have piHole running inside a virtual machine (Ubuntu 18.04).
There is a rational fear of the market leader taking most of the market share over time.

But all that aside, this product exists already, it's called a CDN.

I'm not sure the effect is logically sound -- before the price hikes you weren't willing to pay a dollar more for name brand (or premium drugs etc), but after the price hike you are? I'm not sure if the authors have a mathematical model supporting the decision, or are just observing illegal drug markets and generalizing.

Submarine piece? Lots of successful startups grow into large companies or exit without being remote, and remote startups fail just as easily. GitLab's success is arguably because of developer disenchantment with Github, as well as Gitlab giving more away for free than Github (VCS, CICD pipeline, etc), regardless of employee location arrangement.

Also, what is "success"? Taking $150MM (EDIT: corrected) in investment and not showing profitability [1]? I am not against the startup underdog story (a rising tide lifts all boats). I am against marketing fluff.

> and unlike the Marshall Plan, it isn't helping move these countries into China's camp in a putative global war.

China doesn't need African foot soldiers to burn away in the trenches, there are enough Chinese people to serve as cannon fodder. Sounds harsh but that's the ultimate advantage of China compared to any other military except maybe India's.

What the Chinese are doing actually is to ensure they control the world's reserves of uranium and rare-earth metals. Or, if they don't control it or the governments by puppet/bought governments directly, then by extortion a la "you give the West their uranium, we grind your economy to a halt". Or, by controlling the shipping ports in the sea countries of Africa so that resources from the landlocked countries cannot be exported, or at least the transport cost rises.

The latter strategy they are also pursuing in central Europe - they bought, for example, the port of Piraeus via Cosco.

Whoever crosses their path can be ground to pieces if the Chinese wish so. The West is too f...ing dependent on China and that's gonna bite us in our behinds.
