IDK that it's an option. Is the current administration in Wisconsin able to walk away from the deal they made with Foxconn? If so, then great, they can ignore the sunk cost fallacy and walk away only slightly injured.

But, and I'm not an expert here, I assumed that deals like these have some kind of protections in place to limit exactly that sort of course reversal from happening. From an outsider, this appears to be a situation where they may not be getting handed the full 4 Billion Dollars that everyone mentions, but they still used deceptive tactics in order to receive a sweetheart deal from the Wisconsin government.

My current understanding is that this isn't as good as some people are trying to make it seem (Net positive for the state! Much Gains!) but also not as bad as others seem to assume (we paid 4 billion dollars and get 0 return on that during the lifetime of the deal) and instead seems to be somewhere in the middle (we are paying more money than this deal is actually worth)
You can't completely remove locks. You can make them very small and hold them for a very short tine using hardware support. Atomic increments, atomic compare-and-exchange are supported by modern CPUs.

On that base, you can build lock-free data structures.

This "Fundamentals of Electromigration-Aware Integrated Circuit Design" appears to be a decent starting point:

https://www.ifte.de/books/em/em_chap2.pdf

It won't answer your question directly (especially if you just read the free material instead of obtaining the whole book) but it should orient you for further reading. Note that electromigration is sensitive to temperature. Running cooler can extend the lifetime non-linearly, whether achieved via lower duty cycles or more effective cooling methods. You need to know how many years at what temperature the processor will run, not just the dimensions of the conductors.

THEY HAVE ME INTERVIEW HOMEWORK // HTTP Partial Request
There’s no explanation on your site anywhere (at least without signing up) but as a content creator what would my readers expect to experience with your service? Am I basically counting on people to go to your site, set up a new account, and load up their “wallets” with USD that can be semi-automatically siphoned off when they visit a Quid-enabled site?
Is Amazon next? Microsoft? Who else would benefit from something like this, and have the ability to pull it off?

I am hoping this gains more traction and Google and Facebook get very publicly shammed.

However, I am curious if there is anything Apple can do to stop this without actually breaking the functionality of enterprise deployment certificates.
Thanks for taking time to put an example. I am familiar with the assignment rule, but this is a refresher. My question was more on why it was one function being used for all others.
I'm always amazed how diverse the people on HN are. Not everyone is an IT professional but we share a passion for technology.
The main reason, I suspect, many, including myself, opt for using DuckDuckGo is because people have started to care about privacy; not because they necessarily wish to help foster competition. I see fostering competition as a nice, natural byproduct of valuing privacy.

Glitch sounds amazing, and way better than the tools that existed back then.

But back then, Geocities was popular and loads of people had heard of it. I have never heard of Glitch. It seems like there's become a re-division between "people who like to tinker" and "literally everyone else". On the one hand that's great but it kind of feels like everything is AOL again now.

The last vestige of fun, weird and popular is probably Tumblr, which everyone agrees has the absolute worst user interface. But you can theme your Tumblr page to your absolute heart's desire.
I don't doubt it, but as it was a given user's space that was bad as far as navigation or such ... so what? Kinda like the dumpy diner people go to because it is cheap and has that atmosphere they're looking for. Maybe the table wiggles and it's not a great spot, but that's what it is.

If you're talking about security issues, I get that, valid concern. I've got no good answer for it.

I do think there is a loss, that there isn't that personality.
Sounds good, and it would be perfect if you could make the 'How it works' button point to somewhere that explains the Gmail integration right off the bat, rather than buried a bit. :)

It's not a content blocker. It does have a lot of "instant answers" with information put in a box next to search results so you don't even have to click through. e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=who+is+the+prime+minister+of+malay...

Also it has "bangs" which give you shortcuts to lots of other services. https://duckduckgo.com/bang
Why "still"? Even if the chances of a failure of both engines is almost zero, it has happened that there are losses of fuel. The ram-air turbine allows the pilots to have some instrumentation. That's super useful, for example in this accident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236
It’s commercialized, that’s it. You still have the same weird stuff, probably even with some growth but it doesn’t get visibility relative to all the commercialism.

Having been on BBSes and the internet since the mid 80s I’m as sad and nostalgic about it as anyone but you can’t turn back the clock. Instead we need to fight today’s battle—big tech company hegemony.
Realistically there is no concept of security and much less privacy in India. you could do a filetype:xlsx PAN aadhaar on Google and tons of files with phone numbers, addresses etc will show up. The central voting list of all voting eligible indians with age, address, gender etc is publicly available to anyone who wants at https://electoralsearch.in/ You just have to give the starting initial like A and leave everything else blank.
I'm with you. I switched to DDG, and within a day i started subconsciously adding `!g` to my query. And it's for simple things, not even complicated programming queries. For example, if i wanna see what the weather is, typing "Toronto weather" in google gives me the current weather right on the front page, whereas with DDG, i have to scan for weather network and click on it to actually get the information. Same goes for a TV show/movie/sports score. Google has Imdb rating/current live score right there on the home page.
Interested in hearing more about the results of your investigations.

I think people value good content, but not all content is the same. Certain creators or agencies have intrinsic "quality" associated with their reputation, and if there is an interesting story or video that I can't find anywhere else, I'd pay a few cents to read or view it.

For general stuff, like current news and affairs, where I'm just wanting to learn about an event or happening, I'd most likely Google around searching for a free synopsis somewhere that will get me gist of the "thing" versus pay the NYT or someplace else 25¢ for the same information.

Original, high quality content has value. I just don't want to spend $20 a month hoping to get my money's worth.

I think part of the problem is there is usually an all-or-nothing approach taken.
This mostly works. After military service, I never changed back my cell number and I never answer if it is from the old area code. Though, I did once and it was a volunteer fire station asking for donations.

Does the timing of this have anything to do with the Facetime bug? It feels like they could have done this a long time ago.
> I say this -- but I'm terrified of what future that will bring to the internet. Where now everything is behind a micro-paywall.

I feel like it couldn't be worse than the current situation where everything is "free" = ad-funded. Especially when those ads are consolidated under few giants.
For initial import I like it to be a manual process so I can judge risk. I have some really bad python scripts that read/write excel documents that will alert me when licenses change.

My plan is to move to Black Duck or the commercial libraries.io subscription for my automation needs.

For Kubernetes I'm really impressed with Aqua Security as they do OSS license adherence and OSS security vuln alerting if you only deploy into containers. It's not a cheap product, but love how they do OSS assurance as part of build and deployment. It's a nice model that allows a central security team to use technology to enforce policies - good for "research" environments where dev/researchers don't want to do any effort for OSS packages.
The internet is the great equalizer (1996). People used to believe that. Today, it sounds sarcastic.

We — the programmers, designers, product people — collectively decided that users don't deserve the right to code in everyday products. Users are too stupid. They'd break stuff. Coding is too complicated for ordinary people. Besides, we can just do the coding...so why does it matter?

As a programmer, let me say that when I've switched over to the role of user: As for our bedside manner, we programmers xxxxcould stand to improve a bit! (Not all. But on average.) Remember to treat users as people you're supposed to serve, not as an underclass that needs to be kept in line.
As annoying as MySpace tended to be, I fully appreciate what the article is getting at.

I miss the days where people who wanted to have an online presence could create a website, and it was actually a comparatively good experience.

Facebook is the defacto standard now, and you have to do things their way. Yes it is by far the easiest way for most people to share their photos and thoughts if they want their friends to see them. Unless they are twitterers or whatever.

But I really wish the internet had continued to progress as....it could have.
"You're proposing a tax that is 3.5 times as much as the thing itself costs."

Yes. Yes I am. I did say it would probably cut 90% of the industry.

"That of course would incentivize advertisers to make sure their ad spends are effective which would in turn create more incentive for more ad tracking."

They may sit there and wish for more tracking, sure. They're pretty addicted to that as the only model in the world for making money.

But if you may something much more expensive, and therefore much less profitable, you are saying that you'll get even more of it. That's not how raising prices works.

They're not tracking every last cough we make because they have to to make any money. They track everything because it enables them to make .03% more off of us, and that .03% is profitable. (Number made up, but the evidence strongly suggests we're long past the point of diminishing returns on more tracking, yet they do it anyhow.) Take away the profitability, and they'll stop doing it.

They'll have to. Most of them will be bankrupt and won't be tracking anybody anymore.

Besides, exactly what "more" tracking are we concerned they're going to deploy in a world where they have 90% less money and probably even less profit? They already read all our email, track everywhere we go, track everything we see on the internet, listen to a good chunk of what we say, and use our social connections in every conceivable way to monetize us. What's left?
I've definitely had those dunning-kruger effect moments in my career where I thought I was an underperformer until I got feedback from management to confirm otherwise. In fact, I would say that most companies do not have much of a system at all for positive and negative feedback. It's usually one or the other and done badly.
I find Facebook to be quite useful, and the content to be of moderately high quality for the type of content it is intended for: social updates from friends and family.

The conversations on FB range from informative to toxic, and depend, like the internet forums of old, on the moderators. As FB does not actively moderate discussions, toxic conversations are the fault of the participants and the moderators, not on FB.
I see we have different definitions of "fun" and "weird".
>> seems some people do.

Yes, people do charting. No, they dont actually make money on it. There is a vast market to manage money very profitably for anyone who can demonstrate consistent performance (mutual funds, etfs, hedge funds, etc.) There are also many sites now that will audit your performance and prove you are performing well by tracing outcomes. If indeed charting was profitable, there would be proof of it and people trying to profit off it by managing money using it.
This Author got to have some personal hate against javascript. Otherwise, it just does not make sense.
This doesn't make sense.

"A-Players hire A-Players; B-Player hire C-Players"

If B:s hires C:s than in analogue A:s would hire B:s since it's a bell curve-ish distribution not digital buckets. Who hires the A:s? A, B and C:s by accident?

"I believe it forces people to improve themselves and their game."

You probably want people to improve their skills in their craft, not players to improve their skills in the a management game.
But Glitch isn't a way for a normal person to express themselves, is it? Sure, you can write code which can be viewed by everyone, but you can do the same with github, Glitch is mostly only used by programmers, and you can't express yourself through code like you can express yourself through styling your own social media profile.
There are some similar lock free data structures in golang up on github such as "onering".

One challenge of writing this kind of code in go is that go routines are not pre-emptive, so you can't just port over an implementation that works in c.
The Internet is not fun and weird anymore because it was used to be a hobby. Nowadays content creators do it for the money. When you create content for your hobby you're more relaxed. You can say stupid things, make mistakes, interact with your visitors, try and build a community because relationships is all there is. The moment advertising comes into play everything has to look professional. You start asking for emails to send newsletters and you shove advertisements into the visitor's face in order to get a click. Your site becomes impersonal after a while.
What model do you have? I don't believe I have that feature on my XZ1C.
Exactly. Gut feeling is another word for intuition. Such background cognition is a great tool in science and has been found in use by a lot of top scientists and thinkers. Training it by broadening your knowledge and then using skepticism and other science tools to focus your thinking is a great way for finding stuff out.
Most of those problems are specific to JavaScript. Just strip out JavaScript.
Really? It’s called GraphQL and its schema can’t describe a simple tree?

This is a really neat project, I look forward to diving into it deeper.

Within the last week or two, I've (re)discovered the Game Boy homebrew scene, which seems to still be rather active. It's still quite Greek to me, but I've been attempting to learn how to make games in GBz80 assembly.

But the author (vendor?) seems to miss what was actually fun and weird about the "old days." When you screwed around with MySpace like that, you got that pleasurable frisson borne of thinking that you were doing something you weren't supposed to do -- or that you were doing something the developers of MySpace hadn't foreseen.

Creating a tightly circumscribed environment in which "glitter" is one of your built-in affordances is hardly the same thing. It's the difference between discovering rocket jumping in Doom and having rocket jumping become an intentional mechanic in Quake. The latter might still be fun, but it's no longer weird (and certainly not fun because it is weird).
Nickel tends to be very corrosion resistant. Though these properties are probably diminished by the increased surface area of the porous topology.

I run a small forge. Every alloy I've used will corrode way faster if it's not been finished smooth. I can only imagine how fast a metal (even nickel) foam oxidizes.
> Adhoc querying of multiple resources and REST are not incompatible, see e.g. oData.

This.

Sometimes I wonder if graphql proponents either are unaware of established REST strategies and tooling or if they intentionally turn a blind eye .
See cousin reply. It's not about what they want to do, it's about what they can afford to do profitably. They'll want to do it even more so, but they won't be able to do so.
How I brought down the response time of Hashnode to 100ms
Don't misunderstand me, I'm a Wisconsinite as well. So I'm incensed by this whole cluster-F. I was just pointing out that while we have spent millions on construction and royally screwed over a lot of farmers and people in southeastern WI, we haven't actually handed over any money to Foxconn yet. So we may be best advised to take our losses, which I concede are considerable, and leave the table so to speak.

I'm just trying to be rational.
I don't think "Joe the Average Wisconsinite" really had a say in this deal.

Yes yes, elected officials are SUPPOSED to represent their constituents, but no number of people protesting outside his office is legally capable of stopping Walker and Co. from misrepresenting their interests while they're in office.

And I mean, if there was some kind of quid pro quo between Foxcomm and Walker and Co., all the more reason for this not to benefit Joe Average.
> We know that users presented with these kinds of dialogs don't read them. They just blindly click "OK" to get the dialog to go away. So now you're just annoying people to no good purpose.

I would say you're annoying some people so others have the ability to make that choice, and the site developers will definitely see the friction of that dialog as something to be avoided. It incentivizes good behavior.

> It's measuring the wrong thing. 1 kilobyte of badly written code can do as much or more harm to the user experience than 1 megabyte of well written code will.

That depends entirely on your connection, keeping in mind your connection might be from your phone, when you have very poor reception.

The fact that people are immediately assuming it only matters for execution time after loading illustrates part of the problem, which is that developers often forget about entire classes of access and thus don't consider the problems they create for them.
“Mister Pichai, we can NOT allow a creepiness gap!”
Man, this really resonates with me. I learned how to program because I wanted a website for my Halo 2 team back in late HS early college. I started with a MySpace and learned some basic HTML and CSS (a minute after I learned that making a website was not just dragging things around in MS office and saving the file as "www.my-cool-website.com"). It was ugly and it was hard. Then a friend told me he had some hosting we could use and I learned to hack together some PHP in notepad.exe with just enough MySQL to add and remove things. I used for loops and that was it. No functions or classes. One big file, similar things were copied and pasted all over. No version control, just a handful of different copies of the PHP file on my computer, and deploying was uploading via FTP. I got a bootleg version of photoshop and learned how to make fancy web 2.0 graphics, and I installed PHPBB and integrated it into our site. The forum was actually pretty successful for a hot minute (a hundred or so active users) and I learned a little bit about community management.

I do disagree that "coding is now a privilege" or at least that it's more a privilege because of the demise of MySpace. It's easier than ever to learn how to program; it just takes time and motivation. The only thing that's harder is figuring out which technologies you actually need to learn to realize your vision (because there are so many more ways of doing things than there were in 2006); however, people are also generally nicer now than in 2006 (when I would ask people for help, they often would expect me to have read certain textbooks or know C before they would send me the link on standing up a LAMP stack). The toxic bits of StackOverflow culture were just normal--if you didn't already know the answer, you didn't deserve to know it.

Anyway, that's my 5 minute stream of recollection.
Disable Javascript by default and make turning it on the exception. The web would be a much better place.

>Fortnite isn't a game, it's a place - As social media becomes ever more toxic, Fortnite has become the new social network and a place to hang out where you go to talk to friends

Who are the boomers writing this shit that don't know groups of friends socialize online without social networks? Both before and during the era of social networks? Games as the rallying point isn't novel. Has this guy never heard of ventrilo, mumble, discord?

The worst part is, people who never used the internet to talk to people before the iphone will believe this dreck.

It's still not even worth it to ask for it as a writer. I've written a few long-form articles (hour plus reads) that have 25k+ reads on Medium. If I was able to get that readership as an author, I'd be a best-seller -- potentially making $100k or more from my writing.

Mind you, this is insanely successful for a writer.

Even still, if on Medium, 3% of people who read my articles are willing to pay $0.25 for them -- I'd make about about $600.

TBH, I'd rather not bug my readers for that little bit of money.
I'd love an easy, trustworthy system to donate on articles I found particularly useful/entertaining/whatever. They wouldn't have to be behind a paywall. With the scale of the internet, maybe a pay as you will model is possible.

How is CSS and HTML with no JavaScript and okay, no frames, risky?
I had expected this story was about a Rolls-Royce problem; their Trent 1000 engines are giving the 787 a bad name. But it looks like it was just a normal software interlock that would never cause a problem during flight.
While I'm not a huge fan of JavaScript heavy sites, I do think it's a little disingenuous to drag content blocking in as part of the argument. Ads have little to do with his basic argument, it just there to make the sales pitch go down a little easier.

It's also not very effective as an ad-blocker or anti-tracking tool.
Notice how many stock-picking darlings suddenly started losing money once regulators started finally enforcing insider trading rules. The likelihood is that crazy stock picking performance pre-2008 was mostly on insider knowledge, not on charting prowess.
