But Microsoft bad, everybody say so
Yeah - you're right.

(I won't stealth edit it to make it looked like I didn't fuck up tho...)
of course it's cultural.

People would now rather watch twitch, cat videos, or Instagram than Waste it on what ppl used to spend it on..

People now would rather pay for some proprietary SaaS or pay with their data than take some piece of software, learn it, make it better, then host it for other users for little to no compensation.

There are fewer people to create truecrypt, fewer Stallmans in the world now because the culture isn't conducive to the libertarian ideas that a Stallman of that time period might have...
Let's have a looksee:
-The internet is shit now because the government hasn't regulated it.

-The internet is again shit because greedy corporations force me to use their walled gardens, how the hell else would I communicate with anyone if I didn't allow them to siphon my data as payment to these fascist overlords.

-The internet is a shitshow because not everyone has accepted that both https and JavaScript should be mandatory.. It must be the children of anti-vaxxers, somehow refusing to believe the science, a clear byproduct of not having the first point and an easy solution.

-the internet is again a shitshow because the government hasn't told these fascist hardware manufacturers that I can't be bothered to read the quick start guides which clearly say change my router and IP cam password from 123456 to pa$$word.. Who the hell has time to do that with both pewdiepie and GoT having so much new content.. If the govt just had those clowns hard code pa$$word in the first place I'd be fine. Better yet, just let me get it as a service, they can just update it for me, then I can add nigahiga to my watch list.

-The internet is finally a massive shitshow because, all these companies making money from me being the product have no right to, especially if I'm not getting a piece of the action. Time to break up these corporate capitalists and redistribute the wealth to the people where it belongs.

I can keep going, but I'm certain it's scorched earth now. The truth is, a society that prefers the government give them things or provide their safety net, the Stallmans are going to be harder to find, because the ideas that go with such are very threatening. Pretty soon, it'll lead to making decisions for yourself AND taking blame for the outcome, good or bad, with or without a physical profit.
Does it start with an "R" and rhyme with "repeated-so-often-its-been-ground-into-the-dust"?
Aldi is a favorite here in the rural Ozarks. The closest ones to us are over 40 miles away but my wife and I make a point to shop there when we're in the area.

There's talk of one being built in Branson, MO, which is less than half the distance and everyone in the entire County has their fingers crossed they will.

These are big issues here. Aldi's would give us all another option and save us money too.

Here, a lot of the little "mom & pop" stores got killed by Wal-Mart and Lowes close to 20 years ago. Dollar Stores have now replaced them in the past few years, which is kind of strange to see because they're very similar in most ways, and they've now taken a pretty good chunk of WalMart's market share.

Our first Wal-Mart in Branson is still there, and it's pretty small compared to the "Super Wal-Mart" they built there a few years ago. But locals don't really "love" Wal-Mart like they did 25 years ago. In fact, most really do not like it, but they didn't have many other choices just a few years ago because all the little Mom & Pop grocery stores had closed.

The two Aldi's close to us are constantly busy. They're like a rural "Trader Joe's" for us bumpkins in that they have stuff no other stores carry, and their produce is usually a lot better too.

who are white men? it's weird to be called a white male name if you're not. not upsetting just presumptuous. what if people started calling you rachel in a friendly way? sure it's friend... still feels weird and out of place... and ultimately unnecessary if you're actually trying to be friendly.
$24k, most likely. Unless this couple also has a lot of other possible deductions, they'll likely just opt for the new standard deduction, which is $24k if filing jointly. Still less than their previous deduction, but not as drastic a loss as you claim.

And with the near-elimination of AMT, it may end up being a wash for many people in this situation.

Nah, it's just a repetition of predictions that people have been making for decades. It has nothing new to offer -- just the same old tropes about California's inevitable decline and the rise of alternative Silicon Valleys in other states that never materialize.
This is also true of other services. While Facebook is famous for its shadow profiles, equally (if not more) concerning are DNA ancestry services - effectively, if any of your relatives submit to these tests, your DNA can be easily matched even if you have never used their services.

Honestly, this thread just sounds like something pulled from someone busted on NBC's "Greed" show. Not that I am opposed to reducing one's tax burden, mind you. It's just that this doesn't sound like a feasible way of doing it.
I'm not certain but it seems if two wires were crossing and you absolutely needed to move the one under you could cut the wire and fusion splice[1] the two ends together afterwards.

That isn't demonstrating a good faith belief.

Buying a Rolex from some guy in a car park is different to buying one from a jewelers. The former wouldn't protect you in any way, the later would let you demonstrate a good faith belief that it wasn't stolen, and wasn't fake.
It's for a drone-based sytsem. Python, OpenCV, ROS are the main parts, plus some machine vision camera SDKs. I've also put in some optimised machine learning libraries which are a bit finnicky to setup. ROS is an absolute mule to get right and I like having it in a closed off place so it can't mess around with the rest of the system. I have the actual ROS workspace in a shared volume so they're persistent if I fiddle with the Dockerfile.

None of it really requires docker, but it's nice to have the whole environment encapsulated, and having a record of what I had to do to get some of these things to install is invaluable.

I have a shell script which launches the container (I just run a new one) every time the Pi boots.

Amazon's policy on outside activity is very reasonable.
Good point. I was trying to vocalise this feeling but did not find the right explanation why I enjoyed so much the selection of random stuff.
You get to control where it goes, rather than the government.

For most people, their values are an extension of their identity. (This, BTW, is why we get values voters on both sides of the aisle who vote against their own economic self-interest for a party that supports the kind of world they want to live in.) If you're making 2x+ times what you actually need to live the personal lifestyle you want, the rest is going to shape the world around you anyway. If you give to 501(c)3 organizations whose values happen to line up with yours (or better yet, control your own family foundation so you can set the agenda entirely), you get to write that influence off against the money that you spend on personal expenses.

I've often heard of the dividing line between upper middle class and wealthy as "Upper middle class people think income. Wealthy people think control." The vast majority of a wealthy person's wealth is held in various legal fictions anyway - a network of corporations, trusts, funds, and foundations that are each separate legal entities, but are all controlled by members of their family. Who cares if the money is in your name if it's the name of an entity that you can sign for?
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is a nice example of one of these. I've visited the basement on several occasions and it is absolutely astounding what sits around there gathering dust. The collection on display is but a very tiny fraction of what the museum actually has.

I don't think I trust the whole idea of "technical writers". Software is a complex thing. Is was recently pouring through docs of Kubernetes and Spinnaker, and with the minutia of one-off, OS specific warnings and use-cases, strange naming conventions, gotchas, and conceptual jargon, I find it really terrifying that somone who's only a "technical writer" would be writing the published documentation of such things. How do they know they're correct? Have they run the tests?
Docs are hard enough to read as they are, and often, you're reading them over and over again because there's some detail that you've missed for your use case, and these are generally details possibly known only by the issue reporter or someone who actually implemented the thing. Docs aren't hard to write, and if you have to, you should just copy paste them from your comments and/or unit tests (unless you haven't written any of course). Making docs pretty and easy to write by someone else because you're too lazy too is an even bigger sin IMO. That's all I have to say about that.
As far as I know wow64 exists to run 32-bit processes on 64-bit Windows, so given their statement I would assume no.
If there’s enough friction, no one would bother publishing to public repo instead of setting up private Nexus instance, which is quite easy. And it’s quite possible that the leak could happen on early stage of CI setup for that project (private flag removed, but wrong login used). It’s a mistake very easy to make: “private” flag is just not an appropriate tool for private CI.
You mean giving up on standards like IE6 and below, adobe/macromedia flash, RealPlayer, Quiktime and ActiveX ?

You mean the open web of ICQ, Skype, AOL's walled garden?

The web of 5, 10 and 15 years ago was much less standardized then we have today. Even though chrome is basically the only major browser left, almost all content you browse today is written in to an open standard.

Walled gardens existed in the past just as much. We just didn't really consider them walled gardens because there was really no real alternative.

The only difference now then in the past is scale. It seems that a closed and non-standard platform is ok if it is small, but the things that forgiven for a site with a few hundred thousands users is not for a site with billions.

Which is as it should be, I think. We should have different moral standards for different sizes of market domination (the same way we have for monopolies), but let's not paint it as if the web was more open in the past.
If redundant sensors contradict each other, what should the pilot do next? That's not easy to figure out. Even if you had say 10 redundant sensors, and 1 doesn't agree with the other 9, is there cause for concern or no? And I'm not sure they'd install 10 sensors either, eventually you'll also get information overload for the pilot.
There used to be an Arab-focused LGBT dance party called Habibi, which isn't the same thing, but at least the DJs may know where else to go
we have evidence of widespread irregularities in casting votes via mail for people abroad in italian elections (there are a ton of italian citizens abroad, due to ius sanguinis rules).

That entails basically going to people, buying a voting slip and casting it on their behalf. Or better, buying packs of slips from officials. For e-voting it would be the same.

Sure, you can increase jail time and reward revealing it, but that is not a panacea, as the existence of _any criminal activity_ proves.

The problem is about money, not standards. There's no money in the free and open web. Capitalism is fundamentally antagonistic to the web as a platform. It wants to build barriers and walled gardens and spam the system with advertisements, because without all this junk, there's no money to be made. We need to realize this fundamental antagonism and look into nationalizing or strongly publicly funding / regulating the web in a manner consistent with public good, like we do with other utilities (rail, electricity, water, etc)

This may seem radical, but this antagonism will only get stronger over time. The capitalists who run these businesses are certainly aware of and worried about this future, & at least one presidential candidate (Elizabeth Warren) is thinking in these terms.
> x86 isn't RISC and not all operations take the same number of cycles.

Yes but it doesn't say instructions per hash, it says cycles per hash. Unless some kind of frequency scaling is going on, the number of cycles per second should be very consistent. If bytes/hash is held constant and cycles/second is constant, then MiB/second and cycles/hash should be exact inverses. I don't understand why this is not the case in these tables.

> Also, the code might have different levels of possible parallelism and might impact the pipeline differently.

Again this can affect the number of instructions being retired, but not the number of cycles. A cycle is a cycle, regardless of how much work is actually being accomplished.

> Comp Sci education for the low level basics is often completely neglected nowadays. This should be freshman year stuff.

I'm a low-level junkie who lives in godbolt.org and Agner Fog's tables, writes JIT compilers, and does FPGA design for fun on the side. It's possible that I'm mistaken here, but I do have a fair amount of background in this.

I don't think that altering the technical details regarding the implementation of HTML, CSS et al would do much of anything to stop the proliferation of walled gardens and spyware.
I would like to belatedly disclose that I an an employee of Google, and that the opinions I have expressed are mine and not my employer's. I apologize for not disclosing in the parent post, most of my replies here were written in a highly off the cuff, passionate manner as this subject matter has long been very important to me personally, as a long time FOSS user and small time contributor. I did not expect it to resonate with so many people.

This aside, I also definitely hope nobody feels offended by these opinions, open source means different things to different people. Regardless of what it means, I'm hoping the best for the future of open source, and I remain strongly optimistic.
I work almost exclusively for politicians, specifically buying ads online (a lot on FB). It would be a new development to me if there is a tiered/segregated approval for political ads. Perhaps now that you have to sign affidavit, but it feels like the same outsourced process as normal where it's mostly automated process.
Hm, I'd consider Whit and Martin to be the same generation as Blum and the RSA gang. :) I'd say Goldreich, Goldwasser, Micali and friends are the "next generation", if you really want to distinguish generations, no?

I didn't actually find the joke too unfunny, but not acknowledging the giants on whose shoulders his little business stands is a pretty inexcusable faux-pas.
I wasn't condoning popups. I was making a high level observation of package systems in general.

That said, I fully support a terminal level confirmation the first time something is pushed publicly in any package manager. It is absolutely the correct thing to do to add safeties to a process that is irreversible and can have negative consequences. Often enough, making anything public online is irreversible, and making something public that wasn't ever supposed to be can have negative consequences in many respects.

But what I was really thinking of when I was typing my original comment was moving to a system where someone actually approves new package publishing accounts and or some subset of package namespace requests. Systems that start without any sort of moderating or approval process seem to eventually settle on one. The reasons for this are numerous, from security to just keeping people from overwhelming the more common or sought after names and general sanity checks (does a system really need to allow separate packages for a term where one is singular and one is plural? Who does that help?).
I've thought about trustless lotteries quite a bit, and haven't really came up with a solution that works without using head-to-head brackets.

>A bad actor can't change the outcome of a flip but could prevent it from resolving.

The post glosses over this but it can get pretty bad. E.g. 99 actors have revealed their seeds and then the 100th decides whether to reveal or not, based on whether they or their confederates will be the winner after that final reveal.
We must live in different climates. Electric heat is common around here and a house can easily have over 10 kW of heat. An electric range gets a 50A 240V circuit (12 kVA). An electric clothes dryer has a 30A 240V circuit (7.2 kVA). All it would take to exceed 5 kVA per house is for everyone to be cooking christmas dinner on a cold night. Maybe somebody has a shower (electric water heater turns on) and then uses the hair dryer (1.5 kW).

Granted you can probably overload a transformer a fair bit on a cold night. I'll ask next time I'm talking to someone in distribution what their allocation rule is.

I feel like I'm used to seeing a 3 x 33 kVA cans feeding only a few houses (that incidentally had natural gas heat and hot water...)
That sequence is very inaccurate because:

you missed the step where medium banned other sponsors from being on hackernoon.com while continuing to run their own popup ads on hackernoon.com.

"request a story" is a feature by Medium that hasn't existed on Medium for years.

*when the internet links to a story on hackernoon.com, it's hackernoon.com/story-title. hackernoon's sustainability means the contributors' stories will get more long-term readership.

There are no good guys and there are no bad guys. Medium changed their business, Hacker Noon is adapting. Smaller companies depend on bigger companies across all industries.
I just started a week ago, didn’t polyfill the demos, but will do it when i get around it, nothing in there that wouldn’t work in FF. Would be super happy for GH issues (for instance error logs).
There seems to be such a simple solution here that would solve the problems without even needing to breakup companies: require companies offering user generated content for free, to host such content under 'copyleft' licenses, unless users explicitly opt out, and provide simple/API means of access and submission. Copyleft meaning that anybody could freely copy and use the user-generated content from these sites, so long as they themselves also enabled anybody to freely copy and use that content.

Content (and other incentives) from users that are opted in would be treated identically to those that opted out. The opt out option is mainly for sites like YouTube where somebody might rely on the site for income and want to voluntarily allow YouTube to publish their video under a restrictive license.

The idea is simple - get rid of the network effect. When content is provided under copyleft licenses, anybody could effectively create a social media system where users could see messages from e.g. Facebook and also post messages that would be cloned to Facebook, yet not on Facebook.

The possibilities here are endless and it would pose a relatively small regulatory burden on companies. And most important of all - it would actually probably work. The network effect works like gravity. Even if you break something apart, it will sooner or later come together again even if under a different form.

---

The biggest problem I see is a problem that any idea that could work, will never be considered. Big tech is driving big bucks to politicians. As recently as 2012 the FTC's bureau of competition submitted to the commissioners a lengthy analysis that recommended suing Google for conduct that had, and would continue to, cause "real harm to consumers and to innovation." The commissioners, majority Democratic appointees (not a partisan jab, but rather emphasizing that this is an institutional/establishment issue - not a partisan one), chose not to pursue the case.

> it's in npm's best interest to make it easy to publish leftpad.js easily

That's what I was getting at above. It definitely was in NPM's best interest to do so. Depending on your definition of "easily", is it still in their interest to have it quite that easy? Perhaps a different default is in order now, as you suggest. Or perhaps it should even require a confirmation dialog on the terminal for the first public push? People will still use NPM at this point. Not having enough packages or a package for a specific functionality is hardly a problem for them any more.
Yes, indeed. The author is a decades-long 777 captain, and I doubt the mistake is his. Probably some unfortunate edit by CNN.
This we had in place, but without react driving the scene we used manual Redux subscribes. Every change meant figuring out what part of the scene graph needed to be added/removed or changed. Basically the same problem one would face with jQuery and the dom.
A centralized system will tend to behave more efficiently than a distributed system

If that was always true, we literally would not even have the Internet. Centralized, corporate networks like TYMNET died like flies once the open, distributed Internet became widely available.
Yup. It's pretty gameable using collusion due to the ability to refuse to reveal.
