>centralization has the more favorable best case scenario while decentralization has the most favorable worst case scenario

This is a very insightful observation.

I guess that makes me slightly pessimistic for favoring decentralized services.

Microsoft should buy Vivaldi and make that their default browser.
There is a lot of Enterprise/Corporate stuff tied to IE. For example sharepoint stuff (which my work uses) heavily is tied to IE.

Cable TV was a way to escape the crippling hegemony of broadcast TV. Along the way, it consolidated into its own new crippling hegemony.

Satellite was a way to escape the new crippling hegemony of cable TV.

Then the wireline companies bought them, and killed them, because they threatened the cash cow.

Internet now offers a better way to escape the crippling hegemony of cable, except the wireline companies are making sure that they are the only effective providers of Internet.

There is nothing new here. Just old imperialists who want to make sure that their empire doesn’t die, so that they can continue to exploit the peasants.
Is it ok to steal from the rich (nation-state and ultra-wealthy investors) to help the poor (me)? If I could steal a million dollars out of YC's checkbook I would do it in a heartbeat, wouldn't you?

Neat, although I was optimistically hoping your map aggregated all the actual GPS positions of all the different brands of dockless bikes and scooters onto one map. Since all the bikes (or scooters) are effectively equivalent it would seem useful for the customer to have an aggregated map app (less so for bird/lime/whatever).

Also, I wasn't aware South Lake Tahoe has scooters!
oh dont get me wrong, there is almost 0 value to this site outside of a little chuckle from myself that it worked. I'll only add ads in that very slim case where it starts costing me money
Someone needs to note that Chromium is a browser and the rendering engine is called Blink. You can't build a different browser and rename it based on Chromium but you can use Blink as your rendering engine. The article says "...building a new web browser powered by Chromium, a rendering engine...".
We do still fortunately have three (more or less) independent popular implementations: Google with Blink, Apple (and now Microsoft) with WebKit, and Mozilla with Gecko.

These are still three strong and independent voices; Chrome has substantial control on desktops, Apple has a stranglehold on their highly popular platforms, and Mozilla has both the hearts of the tech community as well as wide regard in bleeding edge technology with Rust, Quantum/Stylo, and Servo.

Install the LastPass binary, and you get copy password back in Firefox.
Probably stored indefinitely. Imagine 30 years from now, a company being able to go back and check on the current president's ride history when he was in his 20s.
Financial time series are usually too noisy to make predictions on those time scales. In reality, there's also not enough data when your forecast window is that far into the future.
David Koresh's followers were burned to death after he incited them to violence against the authorities.

Jesus, if the Bible is to be believed, healed people, told his countrymen to pay taxes to the empire that had conquered and subjugated them, and died quietly after stopping one of his followers from starting a fight with the mob that took him to be murdered.

They seem like pretty different people to me.

Edit: factual error. I thought Koresh started the fire, but Wikipedia says it's unclear how it began.
wouldn't you expect though; if the experience got so bad, that you'd have a sort of 'hard-fork' like we see happening all the time in the crypto space; with devs moving to whatever platform is best? That would have just been nigh impossible with close sourced software; at least there's a potential path should we ever have to confront that situation with chromium.

Practically, I wouldn't guess that we'd see that, since chromium ends up being the closest implementation to true web standards; well, since they define the standards practically, anyways.
Well of course and you make a fine point, but I don't know what the app is up to when I'm not using it. And there was also the fiasco of them tracking after rides were completed [1].

I suppose what it comes down to is that we pour huge amounts of information into our phones and by extension, companies that don't necessarily have our best interests at heart, and any steps I can take to ameliorate that without a huge trade-off of inconvenience, I am all about doing. I don't know what my data will be worth in a few years!

It amazes me the amount of advertising dollars funneled into advertising to users who are not even allowed to use the website (those under 13).
WTF do you mean "lead to sites not bothering to be made compatible with Firefox"?? If Firefox follows the published HTML standards then there wouldn't need to be any special compatibility effort made by us web devs! That is exactly what made I.E. (and Edge) so cr@ppy in the first place!! /facepalm
Where are you that high school only covers up to precalculus?
In Australia (depending on the level) you do multivariate calculus among other things. Perhaps other subjects aren't covered as deeply.
> One new development is that you used to be able to get your invoices mailed via snail mail. Then that disappeared and you got your invoices mailed via email. Then that disappeared and now you have to create an account on some portal so that you can download your invoice. So that's one userid/password combo per business relationship or service that you use privately.

It's annoying being on the other end of this: management deciding, for cost reasons, that snail mail is out and email is in.

Somebody else then worries about the risks of emailing documents that contain private information.

I think a case can be made that some kind of email token login is the simplest solution here: passwords only introduce another attack vector since you can usually reset them by email.

Are there more elegant solutions to this problem?
What made you choose Rust? And what were your impressions of it for this project?

Right, but if there was a post about how the US is still polluting with a lot of coal, how often is the top post "But China..." Similarly, India has even more US immigrants, but look at the top critical articles on India.

There's plenty of new evidence showing that China does engage in so-call "Sharp power"

I think the proper policy is that HN users should upvote the sidetrack if they find that to be most interesting, and upvote the normal topic if they believe otherwise.

I'm sure admins can take a look into both Russian, Chinese, or even corporate influencers, and find ways to scale down their impact, which the admins should. If they're real opinions of a 1:1 person, then that's fair.
Elixir, Julia, Rust.

Elixir - Tried Erlang a long time ago, totally sold on Lisp and message passing since then.

Julia - Interested in multimethods and sort-of typing as core language features.

Both of them: I miss macros.

Rust - Some of my hobby stuff is in C/C++ but I don't particularly enjoy the compilation model or lack of safety.

Out of the three, Elixir is probably the most immediately relevant to me (web developer), so that's probably what I'll end up exploring next.
I can't seem to find my copy of the book right now, having recently moved, it's somewhere among the books in my shelves, but... can't find it. The sentence in question is near the end of one of the chapters in the first half of the book. The second half of the book seems to assume the first half of the book is a given and is consequently a complete waste of time, being built upon a false premise.

The only people who think this is a reasonable book are people who are already Christians.
I had that suspicion too when looking on how much resources they put into Visual Code editor.
Both factions completely ignored white Midwest people in 2016, though. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin.

And the progressive wing's go-to is "they're racist". Those 4 states voted for Obama twice, how racist can they be?
Yes, it does. Assuming you have all the requisite stuff enabled.
No need to beat yourself up, I falter on that too sometimes. I even have a script that auto-adds it back.
quora already sells your data to as many third parties as possible... i don't suspect this changes much.
Their desktop strategy is really confusing. I think even to themselves. It seems since around 2000 or when .NET came out they lost direction, repeatedly tried something, didn't really finish and dropped it. Mobile strategy wasn't much better.

The analogy is imperfect, as c is not just the speed of light, it is also the universal upper bound of the speed in general, whereas the Mach can be exceeded.
About 12% of Windows10 users are on Edge according to this[1]. Another 6% are on IE classic.

An organization running original software on the internet first needs to be preventing vulnerabilities in its own codebase. Nothing “admins” do is going to help much if the application itself is full of SQL injection and direct object reference. You can have impeccable configuration, firewalls, etc. and not even be playing the game.
A Dangerous Copyright Bill in Must-Pass Spending Legislation
Worth noting that unlike previous business cycles the Fed is manipulating both the long and short end of the curve. Quantitative Tightening (QT) is the Fed's program to sell and/or let expire the long-term Treasuries it bought during QE 1/2/3.

As the same time, the Fed is raising short term interest rates using its tried-and true headline short-term interest rate target.

This is not just unusual - it's unprecedented. QT has the effect of suppressing the yield curve inversion signal (by artificially increasing long-term rates). As a result, the gap between the next yield curve inversion (the one mentioned in the article hardly qualifies) and the next recession could be surprisingly short.

Backing off now on QT and short term raising, with unemployment at a very low point and inflation ramping up, would be lethal to the Fed's credibility. Whatever Powell says to try to talk the stock market up, he's locked and loaded and can't do much beyond stick with the program: triggering the next recession.
Companies hate users who don't want to sign up. They do not want that relationship. So it's a win-win if you dont' sign up. Why would companies feel obligated to generate content for free?

If their systems get hacked and they have your snail mail address, they get your snail mail address as well. Email doesn't change that story.
Is Chromium different than WebKit now?
Fine the offending user on their next ride? Offer discounts that promote good behavior (to avoid unnecessary regulatory over reach)? Experiment in various locations to figure out what method works best?

It's an entirely new mode of transportation; there are lots of fun things to try as we refactor our world. That's what startups do.
chrome also decreased this month, perhaps there is something larger here?
OK, how do I get the Chromium team to integrate parallel layout written in Rust?

Sometimes innovation is at odds with whatever Google's Chrome team feels like doing. That is why engine diversity is a good thing.
Was the water company thankful enough to compensate you for the $X,000 consulting services you provided because they didn't set up their own security monitoring?

Why does it convert everything to DAI and not let people pay with DAI? Seems really backwards:

“hey here are these 42 tokens we accept but no stablecoins

Although we convert to a stablecoin”

That actually does make this funnier, since it even accepts Maker, which is the governance token for DAI, but no DAI

The 1% don't care how money is made (who it kills or destroys the planet) so long that it flows. An existential threat from externalities is just another new inelastic market to exploit.
I think you are being a little unfair to say ALL car parkers feel they own all space next to roads. I am sure some do, but I am a car driver who is happy to give up some space for other forms of transportation. I think there is a happy balance to be found.
Not on Linux, and we've waited too long. 1Password supports it direct from the extension.
That’s only true if Chromium does everything correctly, and even then it ignores the chilling effect where nobody cares unless Chrome does it.

Right now I have perfectly valid SVG and HTML5 that straight up does not work correctly in Chrome.
The US has considerable influence over the kingdom, and the bizarre political situation in the US has emboldened that regime to do all sorts of misbehavior, from holding rival aristocrats hostage to this killing.
Install the lastpass binary in addition to the browser plugin. It re-adds that functionality back.
When some people stand near a fence, and some other people breach a fence, the bullets can hit innocent people by accident, you understand that, right? So why do you pretend like you don't?

IDF could kill everyone in GAZA if they wanted too, they don't, quite the opposite. Deaths are accidental. On the other hand most of the Palestinians would gladly murder every Jew.

virtual card #s is a great system, why did it rot?

I assume it's because the whole industry prefers data-brokering your purchase history, joined on credit-card # to establish identity.
They (Quora) don't hate you if get to their site via a Google referer. That's really shameful.
> dutifully sign up for the monitoring offered

and then the monitoring company gets breached.

I don't give any real info besides my first name to any site that doesn't have a legitimate reason to need it. If they force me to confirm an email address, depending on the site, I may use one of my main emails, or may go generate a disposable address.
The Quora link to more details is a masterpiece of corporate obfuscation. Posing as a FAQ, it presents questions, then proceeds to not answer them (at least, as of a few minutes ago).

I agree: it's a crazy strategy. And you're correct: if my bank sent my details to someone with a half-baked attempt to prevent them accessing the data they were given, I'd be getting a new bank.

But regardless of how crazy this scheme is, I don't think it justifies taking advantage of that craziness to unwrap such content.

I think it's reasonable to question the approach of banning the plugin too: the problem is the users' choice to use the plugin, not making it available. But ... when there's no justifiable use for the plugin, and the author clearly intends it to be used to view unauthorized content ... I can see that it's an attractive strategy to just ban it.
I assume they care about it massively, lest cities drop the hammer a la SF.

Also: it's a fun exercise to go back in time and look at all the laws sponsored by automotive & oil companies to create today's car culture (case in point: streetcars). I assure you: there was a lot of protectionism & it wasn't always about the consumer.
On carbon, trajectory counts. China's government is investing in clean energy and taking it seriously. America? ... Maybe this topic is a bad example for what you're trying to say.

My beef is seeing liberals succumb to red scare and hypernationalism regarding China. They have problems, but they've also done a phenomenal job for their own people these last 40 years.

Not even close. IE6 was a browser that was set in stone. It only ran on Windows. It's legacy that we live with today is the ActiveX controls that are basically parts of Windows. MS stopped innovating on the browser part of IE6 and focused on ActiveX e.g. native Windows components that you could use in the browser. You can't talk about IE6 and not mention how embedded it was with Windows. That is what made IE6 bad. You could not use your Mac or Linux environments to browser the internet. Lots of great ideas came out of IE6 XMLHTTPRequest. Access to the native desktop devices. Storage APIs, realtime communication anything you can do on the desktop you should be able to do through the Web. That is what we see happening today with Chromium and Mozilla. These two teams and now with MS being more involved as well. There is a huge amount of collaboration it's nothing at all like IE6 days.
> it would not be inflationary to just pay them out

That depends on what the creditors do with the money. If they keep it in a bank account, the effect on prices is minimal. If they go out and buy a lot of goods and services or financial instruments like stocks, of course that will inflate prices.
>There is research showing that online pornography distorts people's views of sex

I'd cautiously agree with this wrt commercial porn, where the negative effects, coercion etc are well documented and "sex negative" as you describe.

Tumbler is full of OC. How on earth could this be seen as "sex negative"? These are adults, freely sharing their kinks. Not sure there's much room for outrage here.

All commits to the Chrome codebase are gated through Google, an ad company whose driving motivation is in delivering value to shareholders, not to improving the web. Once the web becomes a Google monoculture, I won't be holding my breath to see any features land on the web that could threaten Google's bottom line.
The article doesn't say that more than 15% is put in trust, or that the child is spending $XXX,000 on himself.

Of course, the child also isn't generating the whole business himself either.
Being a software engineer doesn't preclude one from also being a fascist, or a totalitarian, or a nationalist, or a racist. There are no doubt people out there, software engineers just like you and me, who are nevertheless proud of what they've done to the world in these kinds of actions.

Certain types of software engineering attract these kinds of mindsets, in fact. Totalitarian-authoritarianism is a big problem in the technology world; its subtle effects all too easy to ignore, subjectively, when the mindset starts to take hold ..
My point is more that I don't think ads will generate any $ at at due to the nature of the website.
I moved from LastPass to 1Password recently. Had been using LastPass for several years, but filling failures, the lack of copy password in FF (and no binary workaround for Linux), and generally unhelpful support when I contacted them prompted me to move.

Very happy with 1PasswordX (the browser-only version) - filling is much better, copy is supported out of the box, support have been very helpful when I've reached out. Much better customer experience.
Advertisers had their campaign data compromised, too. Yeesh.

Your examples have nothing to do with whether you use Chrominum engine, though.

Say that Chrome implements a web feature you don't like. MS use their own MSengine for their Edge browser that doesn't have that feature. But websites expect Chrome, and they use that feature, so MS Edge doesn't work with those websites.

Say that Chrome refuses to add a feature you want. MS use their own MSengine for their Edge browser that has that feature. But websites expect Chrome, so they don't use MS Edge feature so as to not break for their Chrome users, and MS Edge browser is no better off.
If they had made it open source, cross-platform (like vs code), with sane telemetry options (unlike vs code) I would have gave it a go. I don't get why they though anything else had a chance in the current market.

Changing a bike tire is not difficult, and is a lot easier to do than it was when I used to ride a bike to school. Even then there are may types of goo you can put in the tyre to automatically patch a hole should it happen. Bike pumps are a lot smaller than a drink bottle and normally clip to the bike, or would easily fit into a backpack. Again, in most cases you will not need to use it.

That leaves parking, acknowledged and your risk of having the bike stolen is totally dependent upon where you are and what facilities are provided. Many work places are seeing the benefit of fit staff and are providing bike cages in the corporate carpark. Same with shower facilities so you dont stink the office out.

There are many excuses you can use against bike use, but most of them boil down to it being something you are not used to doing and to do it you need to change your habbits.
