I don't have a direct summary link, but if you read random storage revenue/capacity reports that seems to be the case.

There are a few large buyers of bulk storage which appear to be using it for some form of nearline. At least in my experience (which is obviously warped by the part of the industry I was in), enterprise applications needing IOP's have been overwhelmingly moving to pure flash. There remains a large amount of revenue in hybrid arrays, but the volume is shrinking (although maybe not the raw capacity, similar to the mainframe which is selling record amounts of capacity in fewer and fewer machines). A few years ago I stopped being surprised to see a couple racks of infortrend's or supermicro storage chassis (or any number of other 2nd tier vendors products) sitting at one end of random datacenters, where the local storage admins were running some huge snapshot repo, or Ceph, or whatever on them and the resulting capacities were frequently powers of ten greater than the online storage.

Also, I've seen plenty of tape arrays too, but they don't seem nearly as common these days. Partially, because tape has the same problems as disk (lots of bandwidth, but it never seems to be enough). It seems everyone still has one, but you have to hunt for it, and it might only be getting the most critical data (or stuff that is required for compliance with some law), which turns out to be limited by the 2-4-8 drives they have constantly spinning, where an operator walks in every few days and swaps a couple dozen tapes offsite. Sure there are larger libraries but it seems most admin's start any conversation about tape with a groan and eye rolling, which tends to be an attitude that keeps finite resources from being heavily invested in them. So, people will buy 10+Gbit links between their data centers (which sometimes tend to be shockingly inexpensive) rather than spend $10k on a tape library and a fedex account.
National Security Letters can't compel engineers/companies to do pretty much anything. National Security Letters can only request non-content information. A NSL also can't compel the gathering of additional non-content information beyond that already being gathered.

So a NSL could request the records for who you are sending encrypted messages to but not the content of the messages and if your messaging provider can't or doesn't already gather that information they can't be compelled to start gathering such information.

If a NSL requests information which the recipient believes violates that guidelines of information which can be requested they can disclose the NSL to legal counsel and challenge the NSL in court.
"“These calls let me capture upside while reducing my downside risk,” Paul told CNBC. He later tweeted that the trade -- selling some of his Bitcoin holdings while buying the call options -- was profitable."

So, it wasn't worthless to him and this is a meaningless story. Got it.
This would be the task of someone who was kicked off a platform and believes it violates the Constitution. I haven't had it happen, so I have no standing to pursue such a case.
Why are blacks always put in a position to have to answer this very question?
If an attacker controls a subdomain and can trick a user into visiting it (e.g. evil.example.com), the cookies may be out of scope, but the password manager may (or may not) treat the subdomain as part of the domain in terms of .well-known/change-password requests, allowing a subdomain to redirect the password manager and potentially stealing credentials.

It is undefined behaviour. The spec is under-defined. That's my issue, there has been no security pass of this at all. It is left up to each individual password manager to make this secure (or not).

More difficult than just getting the VM up and running, IIRC. Something, something, hardware security key to get iMessage working. Or something. Anyway, there are workarounds with which others report having success, but at that my point my interest ran out.
Maybe it's a translation issue, but this article doesn't really answer the question at its root level and keeps referencing recent events - obviously Russian troops in Donbass are concealing their identity, but Eastern European troops have been wearing ski masks for decades now. Why? I'm not sure "to confuse the senses" makes sense, since for 100+ years warfare has happened at long distances.

Why not both? I think for most of the working class, it's a dystopian novel with a warning. For most of our politicians and the ruling class (and oddly, many of the big tech companies), it's a utopian novel filled with great ideas.
A non-trivial number of countries have separate signing and ratification procedures. This is common enough that no reasonable observer in international politics automatically equates the two. Most of them have procedures that mirror those of the US!

It's worth considering that changing this process from one widely understood to one widely not understood is likely to lead to more confusion about weird internal political processes rather than less.

The reason they banned porn, is not because of some sudden guilt about porn. It's because, apparently, there had been a lot of child porn that was getting published. Tumblr seems like it doesn't have the resources to fight off child porn, and AI is too dumb to know what is underage or not. So now they are just banning all porn. That's why Apple banned their app from the app store recently.

The bad thing is that, this will absolutely kill the platform. Porn and porn gifs have always been popular on Tumblr for as far as I can remember. I'm not a Tumblr user, but this is just a fact anyone that has ever even casually browsed it knows.
>Honest question, is this a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy? You expect to be judged by the color of your skin, so you act constantly in fear of being judged, making your time in the industry "suck" as you put it?

It may very well be self-fulfilling. But my point is that this issue doesn't exist for white people. You can live with the fear of impostor syndrome and not feeling qualified enough, etc. But your completely unchangeable physical appearance does not contribute to that. Every shortcoming that could possibly exclude you from any job is within your control to fix and work on, whereas we will always be left with this single unpredictable variable no matter what.

Sure, but in a professional setting, on your own work, it is completely unacceptable.

Imagine if musicians did the same as computer scientists: all the keys, strings and holes in all the instruments would be labelled wit the note that they play. Difficult instruments like the clarinet would be rejected and deemed "obsolete" and non user-friendly. Young musicians would rally against the old musical notation, and would switch to a colored animated markup that only works inside new versions of ipads. That would be laughable, wouldn't it? Don't try to do the same with computers please. Learn the tools of your trade and master them. Do not fight against powerful tools because they need some training to use. Do not require "discoverability" for professional tools.
How well is Gecko/Servo suitable for embedding in another application as a web browser? Apparently it is very easy with Chrome, why we have 25+ Chrome derivatives.

I probably share much more with a Moroccan software engineer than I do with a local white blue collar worker.

Although with the engineers that studied in North africa (which we have a lot of in software), I feel closer to the kind that embraced french lifestyle and obviously plan on aging here, than those who seem to regret their homeland and stick to its traditions and look like they're just cashing in.

But I get it. I'd probably look the same if I had to go live in the US.

Great read, although I thought it wasn't quite cynical enough about the bad things Chrome can do with Blink (is that their rendering engine? Whatever it's called, I forget, but it doesn't really matter) dominance: the article suggested that the way forward is to ensure that the standards process has equal representation, and I agree with that, but once all the other browsers are using your rendering engine you don't have to care about the standards process. Just like IE back in the day, or Netscape before that, you can introduce a blink tag and everyone else has to do it or it gets to be standardized later to be compatible with what you've done. The standards process becomes more or less useless every single time we get into this situation. Google's already doing this to a certain degree, see also SPDY and QUIC, or any of the various Chrome-only CSS things that everyone else adopts. For SPDY/QUIC they're still working within the process, but they basically get to force their baseline without any competition even so. Later they won't even have to pretend to work within the process.
Here's the thing, you don't always necessarily know. But your mind is always doing that extra calculation to figure out what is going on.

"Is this person questioning my credentials because they question everyone's credentials?" "Was that crude comment made because they're just oblivious or because they're actually racist?" "Does this person treat everyone just as poorly, is it something I'm doing, or is it prejudice?"

Having to do that double mental processing can be exhausting if you're in an environment where people are insensitive or outright offensive. Some people handle it better than others but it can take its toll on anyone.
According to scrum, the scrum master is not the product owner and not a member of the dev team, but rather an objective person who does just the scrum master duties, e.g. facilitating when needed, e.g. making sure people are following scrum instead of getting distracted, not stalled by roadblocks, not taking marching orders from more than one product owner, etc. In scrum, the dev team organizes its time after priorities are set. Scrum does not want a scrum master to be a project manager - if you’ve seen that they’re just mixing unnecessary stuff into scrum and scrum is getting a bad rap for that. I don’t see a scrum master as being a full-time job unless they’re working with multiple teams, so it could easily be anyone knowledgeable outside the team who will objectively play the role.

>Seriously, what's Uber/Lyft's long term goal?

Massive fleets of autonomous vehicles transporting people.

People often fall into the trap of seeing Uber and Lyft as a taxi service, they are absolutely autonomous vehicle companies. The human drivers are simply there to collect massive amounts of data, and build brand recognition, while the autonomous vehicle technology comes to maturity.
I knew someone would make this comparison.

The ability for an static ad to screw with your mind is orders of magnitude less than the ability of code running in your browser to engage in nefarious behavior with the aim of stealing your PII for the purpose of financial crime or just intrusive tracking.

Subway ads are like boring old banner ads on websites that are only targeted based on the content of the websites they are on.

>Research has shown time and again that there are exploits to trick human minds, and you cant really just update your brain to shut those down.

It's very hard to run those exploits when your level of access is "2x2 square of glossed folder paper on the wall"

Static print advertisement like found on subways is orders of magnitude less bad than TV, online and arguably radio ads. I don't see why there is some perceived moral argument against using them to help pay for the upkeep of society.
I'm a developer and a Firefox user. I'm always a little sad when I pair with another developer, and they ask why I'm not using Chrome.

As a daily Graun reader myself I will say sadly that they are guilty of editorializing as much as any other rag.
You can't own that market at least the way Uber or Lyft do it. It's so easy for their drivers to switch and it's easy for their customers. In my view they will keep their dominant market positions only while they subsidize rides and lose money. But as soon as they raise prices to be profitable there will be plenty of competition.

I think the endgame is to dump the stock on the public market so investors and execs can cash out and mission accomplished. I don't think there is any viable long term plan.
This is mostly correct, except for FCC exceptions for stuff you build yourself. For example, it is legal to broadcast on the FM band if your signal meets certain signal strength criteria. Also, the FCC itself doesn't do assessments, they are done by independent (expensive) labs.

But the rest of what you say is correct.
The funniest thing is that people calling themselves liberal are often racist (towards white and sometimes asian people). I'm an immigrant from a poor Eastern European country where salaries and quality of life are lower than in many South American countries, and I'm constantly judged based on my skin colour.

You make a gross assumption about his perspective aligning his views on what is wrong with the world with the views of liberal individuals.

When you empathize with him and understand that he comes from a different background you can begin to understand why he expresses difficulty in understanding.

I am brown, i never really hear race discussed much in my social circles in a comedic theme, not a racism theme.

There's another data point.

My poiny is that people are diverse, have different perspectives, and having an open mind facilitates dialogue
That’s awful that you have to go through that.
I like your intro to the topic, and how it's nice to both sides. But you're drawing quite the straw man when you say

> one side thinking (and saying) the others are racists because they don't support various race-targeted policies (or talk about systemic racism all the time)

This completely ignores the actual racism that exists, and makes the social left out to be some group of insanely judgemental people that are so furious for reasons as small as "[people don't] talk about systemic racism all the time"

I don't know anyone who's mad about people not talking about systemic racism all the time. But I do know a lot of people who are furious about racism, and they talk about racism much more than "omg can you believe that someone doesn't support Affirmative Action" Or "wow, this person isn't thinking about systemic racism 24/7? How racist of them!"

Yes, people do discuss "race-targeted policies", and people can get judged for not agreeing with them. And although a certain degree of tribalism definitely exists (on both sides), if someone could provide me a good, clear argument against a "race-targeted policy" that also accounts for the issues that policy seeks to fix, then I'd happily agree with them (and not think they were racist). It's a shame so many discussions about those policies end up being arguments over the definition of racism (instead of, you know, how to lessen its extent and effects), and that is the problem with both sides.
Ask HN: Who actually enjoys using Facebook products?
I've noticed lately on HN there's been a lot of negative attention towards Facebook and their products. This doesn't surprise me and I think it's deserved given their actions, but I find the tendency of HN to dismiss FB's products as "useless" to be narrow-minded.

I personally don't agree with a lot of what FB does, but I still find their products very enjoyable and useful. Contrary to popular opinion here, it hasn't made me unhappier to use FB or Instagram. I've only ever used FB for close friends and I still engage with them regularly on the platform. Furthermore, Messenger has been great for maintaining contact with my closest friend groups throughout the years. I also really enjoy browsing Instagram as a photography and I've made some really awesome and genuine friendships with other people in the community through it.

I'm not trying to excuse FB's actions as a company, but I'm interested if other people on HN also have similar experiences. I can honestly say that my life would be undoubtedly worse if services like Messenger did not exist in it and that it would be much more difficult to maintain some of my most important relationships otherwise.

If you commit a major crime against Chinese law, and then visit China, they are within their rights to arrest you for it.

Similarly, if you commit a major crime against Canadian law and visit Canada, they can arrest you for it. And if you also committed a crime against US law, the US can petition for you to be extradited after the Canadians arrest you.

I fear I don't understand where the overreach is. I've clearly missed an important and nuanced detail. Can you help me?
I'm not sure how long they can keep doing so. At what point it may affect iOS's reception in general?

From my own experience, making the app I'm working on (CKEditor 5 - a web based rich-text editor) compatible with mobile Safari is right now impossible. None of the RTEs work well in mobile Safari because of its quirks and bugs.

If Apple will overdo this (just like Microsoft did with IE6), that may affect iOS's usefulness. Sure, right now you can't build a business without your presence there, but there may be a breaking point. It's hard to imagine and I kinda doubt it will happen (I rather agree with the author of this article that Apple will invest enough to keep Safari alive), but it's a possibility. Microsoft screwed it up once, so can Apple.
It's because of FATCA I think? Banks in many countries won't usually refuse completely, but you can't open cheap accounts, because they want to charge Americans as much as possible to recoup the extra costs.
It's not that they aren't a useful service at whatever price level would bring them profitability at current sales levels as much as that the demand curve may be such that if they were to raise prices theyd lose at least enough sales that it might not bring them to profitability at any price point.

I.e. while someone earning $200K might decode they can afford $20 rides rather than $10 ones, someone making $50K might think differently. The "who cares" when people go back to riding the bus is Uber.
Not parse them into a tree, to start with.

Use a streaming JSON parser, and compare them token by token unless/until they diverge, at which point you take whatever actual suitable to identify the delta.

Parsing it into a tree may be necessary if you want to do more complex comparisons (such as sorting child objects etc.), but even then depending on your need you may well be better off storing offsets into the file depending on your requirements.

https://github.com/lloyd/yajl is an example of a streaming JSON parser (caveat: I've not benchmarked it at all), but JSON is simple enough to write one specifically to handle two streams.

I have to imagine it's more difficult for Indians. You were placed, through no fault of your own, as the enemy of the domestic worker. You were brought in, or outsourced to, for the explicit purpose of suppressing the wages of domestic workers. So this is an additional layer of potential negativity on top of plain old racism/in-group preference/etc that other minorities might face.
And you can have some serious fun with this with a not-very-powerful computer.
You have not really disproven most of the more recent issues he brought up. The US (and Britain) did have a big hand in the struggle that culminated in the Iranian revolution: for fear of getting a USSR ally, they got a completely out-of-control regime and then have fought it with the dirtiest tricks they could muster ever since. Sure, nobody is fully innocent, but that doesn't justify acting like a c*nt in return; it actually justifies blaming "the big bad West" and helping the worst sectors of Iranian society. Isolation always helps this sort of regime, see also: fascist Italy, socialist Cuba and so on.

> The most ardent, ideological, committed racists I've ever encountered are all in tech. Tech circles are the only place I've had multiple people try to evangelize me with what amounts to neo-Nazi ideology.
