If nobody uses their browser and nobody contributes to their project, then the point of defending an open web is kinda moot.

It's not the hill I want Mozilla's philosophy to die on because if they do (and they will if they do as you ask), then there is no point to it. The open web dies to thundering applause from Google employees.
It had an uncluttered UI, multi-process tabs, sandboxing, V8, Incognito, and a few more. Some of these were available in other browsers, but the mix was rather new.
> I don't know why some people want vegetarian food to taste like meat.

There are lots of reasons people want vegetarian versions of meat. Here are some of the most common:

1. Still want to eat meat, but want to reduce the environmental impact of meat production.

2. Don't want to eat meat for moral/preference reasons, but still enjoy the taste of eating it.

3. Want to eat meat, but don't like the dietary impact and want a healthier replacement.
> [eBay] stayed remarkable true to their mission

Having used eBay since its early days, I stopped when they lost their focus on auctions and became just another platform. Now I have to bother with market research to set a fixed price - much more hassle than auctioning at zero Euros and letting the market find the optimum price (only works in liquid categories though). I understand that the mass market finds auctions bewildering and prefers fixed price... I'm still disappointed.
And yet...

The real problem is that regardless how much we trust Google and Chrome nobody can make guarantees about future government or corporate politics so it should be really important to us to keep the browser market competitive.
If you go to McDonalds and order a burger with fries and a coke, then surely just changing the actual meat in the burger to a Beyond Meat burger is going to have close zero effect on the overall "healthiness" of that meal.

>World isn't overpopulated. I don't think there is a hard limit on number of people.

Yes there most certainly is a hard limit on how many people this plant can support. We have increased it, and continue to increase that limit with technology at a faster rate than reproduction but there are social trends that are seeing that progress rolled back.

Anti-GMO, Organic, and several other social trends in food production means the amount of land, water, and other supplied needed to a feed a person is growing not reducing. With out Advanced Farming, pesticides, GMO Crops and other advancements we would have exceeded the planets ability to provide long ago.
Indeed. Michelson once said "… it seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established … An eminent physicist remarked that the future truths of physical science are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals."

I think the pessimists of today will be proven wrong in a similar manner.
I must say I'm on the fence about such databases, because I realize how law enforcement and social services can benefit from increased cooperation and having an idea how person might behave when they're stressed out, ie. when police confronts them. In Switzerland we had several scandals in the previous century about political and social tracking that police implemented without governmental oversight, and since the law has actually "caught up" under the banner of keeping up with trouble-makers at soccer games, tracking mechanisms now appear regulated to some degree - making room for nuance, hopefully.

From that perspective it doesn't come as a complete surprise that law enforcement first comes up with the idea, then gets reprimanded and then due process is put into place while letting police do their work, because, let's be real here, that's what they're trying to do, not implement an Orwellian dystopia. I wonder how much jumping to that accusation helps in this kind of discussion, even though I'm all for sensitizing law enforcement on these topics.
> help enable them to grow into better people

Wow, 'better people' - that's loaded and almost completely unspecified here. That's ripe for abuse.

"become christian, god will make you a better person"

"do as you're told, obey orders, you'll be a better person"

"don't disrupt the teacher even if they're wrong, people don't like 'clever' people"

I could go on all day. That's the thin end of a dangerous wedge. I don't like conformists.
YaCy works and in my experience that's pretty much the extend of it. I never (not a single time) found what I was looking for, vital sites like StackOverflow and Wikipedia aren't properly indexed, the pages that are, are wildly out of date. That plus it's incredibly slow.

The page the article is linking to http://canihaznonprivilegedcontainers.info is mixing up running as root with running docker with --privileged. Latter one renders Docker security to zero, but is barely required.

I’m not saying “go run your all your Docker images as root”, but this is clearly FUD.

Non-privileged containers are still having "root", just with way fewer capabilities (See Docker [0] docs).

I’m not an expert, but I guess depending what you are doing the most problematic capability might be AUDIT_WRITE, because it is not namespaced and could be abused for DOSing syslog. But you might require it for things like sshd, sudo, adduser, passwd, …

Depending on how you are holding it the NET_BIND_SERVICE and NET_RAW can be an issue (depends on how your docker network looks like), but the others appear not to be a security issue per-se.

This page [1] gives a good overview on default capabilities, though they are also confusing to the reader with "better disable this".

I've created an issue, not sure if I have resources to fix their page though. [2]

> What do you have to gain from interacting with the police? Now, compare this to what you stand to lose by interacting with the police.

The job of the police is to help me. To do that effectively they have to sometimes talk to me. It is therefore in my interest to talk to them.
>The Three Felonies A Day is an example of politics, not research, and has some rather motivated reasoning:

A "sceptics" link is hardly refutation. These sites attract professional "minor detail pickers" and "technically-correct" pedants, who more often than not miss the forest for the trees.

The message is not the exact number of felonies per time period, it's that people can have all kind of laws broken and given causes to be arrested without them knowing it.

Even if it's 1 felony per month or 1 per year it's still more than enough, and that's the point of "thee felonies a day".

That's true. I agree with this in general. From your initial statement I thought you were including those oils even in the context of their natural occurrence.

He's basically asking if there's any reasonable theory fitting the fact that Google withheld Widevine and the hypothesis that Google is a good guy.

The jump to the null hypothesis that you've stated is made too soon without doing this first.
>However, their market share is not down to better browser or "some advertising."

No. Their market share is wholly due to being a better browser. That is an absolutely true statement when it comes to Windows and PC. It gets muddled with Android, because there you can make a case that they push Chrome as a default browser.

>Firefox slowly climbed to the middle, by being very good. They never got to 50% of the market.

It was a different time. FF did wonderful work with moving to a standards-based web and breaking IE hegemony, but they got blindsided by Chrome's relentless drive to squeeze every frame of performance out of JavaScript and WebKit. That's the thing with Chrome, they were not only pushing web standards forward, but more importantly they were pushing performance and security in a way that FF could not follow. Around the time that Chrome came out, FF was starting to struggle with a legacy architecture and that made it impossible for them to keep up with Chrome.
Ask HN: How did you implement GDPR compliant Global Log Collection system?
Hello Guys,
I am running hundreds of servers across the globe. Right now all these servers are pushing the data to centralized ELK cluster. I want to make a regional log collection system. Like all EU servers should send all logs to the EU cluster likewise for Japan, US, India servers.

Maintaining ELK clusters per region can be a pain and paying a huge amount to AWS Elastic Search Service is not a good idea.

Do you guys have some better suggestions? Any tools or best practices I should follow for this project?

> If everyone avoided talking to the police all the time, it would make their job more difficult, and they would be less effective.

It would make their job more difficult, it doesn't automatically follow that they would be less effective. They might be as effective with less data if most of the data was noise, or be more effective by concentrating their efforts on fewer interactions and getting much better results from that, or become as effective or better by having to work harder. Or it might push them to develop different and better techniques.
The principle here - that good community policing has a strong preventative, social aspect - is nothing new. It has long been expected that good community police officers know people in their area who might be at risk of going down a criminal path and use their judgement to intervene appropriately.

So is the objection (of some) that this principle is wrong, or is the objection that this aspect of what is generally considered good policing shouldn't be systematised and recorded?

"In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold." Charles Holland Duell, 1902

Potentially a very useful convenience. A couple of suggestions:

1. I would make it a bit more obvious when versions are not yet released. For instance nodejs v14 is listed with its planned support lifetime in the same colours as v12. While there is an indication that this is not a current release (no content in the release column for that row), it might be useful to also alter the colouring (perhaps fade or grey it out a bit?).

1.1. Or instead perhaps leave out unreleased versions for consistency (you don't list Debian 10 for instance, though there is some info out there: expected release mid 2019, expected mainstream support to mid 2022, expected LTS (server only) to mid 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history#Release...

1.2: Or perhaps list future releases in a second table?

2. A couple of things that might be useful to add if you have time to add and maintain the info: MS SQL Server versions & their service packs and Firefox ESR versions.

3. A display bug: at any window size in current Chrome on Windows with default zoom, "Fedora Linux" wraps in a way that suggests "Linux" is a separate item in the list. Perhaps use a non-breaking space to help that?

Seriously, every time you used to open google docs with firefox, they asked to "try&download chrome" as it was faster (or whatever). I don't have the screenshots any longer but it was so bad I added to grease monkey.

Another example: Windows: Chrome, installation being under user profile to bypass any system checks during installation process itself and further updates.

If the advertising industry is such a powerful force of mind control that we literally have no free will anymore, then why did they let _you_ figure it out?

You're giving them way too much credit. Do you notice how the world is full of failed advertising campaigns? How the world is full of failed companies and failed products that the evil geniuses in advertising weren't able to make people buy?

There's a world of difference between 'we can use some principles from psychology to try to exploit people's fears and make them more interested in our product' and 'our unlimited powers of persuasion make free will an illusion'. And despite the hype, most big-data, machine learning, 'downloading your thoughts from Facebook before you've even had them'-style targeted advertising amounts to showing you ads for the thing that you just bought.
Nonsense unless your are on LFS. Your package manager does that whether it's binary or source based for every dependency for every app.

Maybe instead we can bemoan how the version of webkit in xyz repo is outdated?
Russians SIGINT/Cyber folks have been using various techniques to locate and identify Ukrainian forces using their personal devices in order to target them with rocket and tube artillery with devastating effect.
You're correct, but you're confusing the notation and the implementation.

On your (eth0) network interface you're specifying a network that your interface belongs to, its used to determine routing on that interface, if you give it a single /32, there is no "network" for it to route to.

WireGuard isn't using the CIDR notation in the address value for routing, it's using allowed-ips.
The objection here is “because data”
It wouldn't matter how sensible the environmental standards were, because the Trump administration was making them.

For instance, a year or so ago the EPA placed heavy new restrictions on asbestos, all-but-banning most of the previously legal uses by requiring manufacturers and importers to prove their safety to the EPA's satisfaction and indicating that wouldn't be possible. (They couldn't just outright ban them.) This is how you'd have seen this action described if you found out about it from HN: "EPA is allowing asbestos back into manufacturing".

Now, this was of course completely untrue. Prior to the rule, companies were allowed to import, manufacture and sell every asbestos-containing product covered by it whenever they liked, without any EPA approval. The new rule replaced that free-for-all with an intentionally hostile approval process where companies had to convince a skeptical EPA that actually, asbestos was safe before they started manufacture or import and wait for them to complete their risk assessment (which they've indicated will probably be "fuck no" in all circumstances). Anyone who read the notice or researched the status quo should've know that. It also wasn't particularly suprising; it was the culmination of a years-long process that started under the previous administration, and it ended in about the toughest restrictions they could legally place.

It didn't matter, though, because it fitted into the correct narrative about the current administration - and this was a restriction on a really unsafe substance that was in the pipeline for years and didn't even have anything to with Trump or his trade war.
I hope it won't start to cost money in the near future
That's merely advertising. Google did not force chrome into any platform except android (which only happened after Chrome's dominance).

Mozilla could've paid for more advertising (e.g, partner up with Yahoo or some other big web property). But even with a push like that, FF won't have won because it didn't the high performance that drove Chrome's retention rate.
Food for the brain.
I never thought about it before tbh
That is an incredibly US-centric view. I'd have absolutely zero problem talking to and interacting with police in Poland for instance.
But countries do have a decision making process. It's called politics. It doesn't control every aspect of the country, and culture in particular is hard to control directly, but police is a government function, paid by taxes. If there's anything a country should be able to control, it's how their police operates.
Are you actually serious about that or did you miss all the investment that VW does into electric cars?

Well, If you exclude costs in your formula, all is benefit. This is true. Lets talk about the costs.

The economic damage caused by Chernobyl in 30 years is estimated in 235 Billion of dollars.

Source Belarus Foreign Ministry: http://chernobyl.undp.org/russian/docs/belarus_23_anniversar...

This includes destroying trust in Ukrainian agriculture for 30 years and removing also a good chunk of lands suitable for agriculture in a country previously called "The Breadbasket of Europe (and soviet countries)".

I would expect also huge maintenance bills for a long time. The cost of the new sarcophagous and auxiliary buildings is estimated in 2.3 Billion dollars extra.

Plus increase of health services and cancer surveillance checks in nations affected by the disaster (like Ukranie, Belarus or Russia, but also Polland or Germany). Belarus registered a x40 increase in children's thyroid cancers since the accident.

Ukraine and Belarus still need to spend more than 5% of its annual budget in benefit payments to compensate 7 million people for the accident. In whole, Belarus pays around $1 million at day for Chernobyl

Plus the cost of vigillance of the restricted area to avoid garbage collectors (if not, mafias could load trucks with free metal scraps and sell it in Moscow, Berlin or Paris for example), or keeping unauthorized adventurers from doing stupid things.

Plus the cost of the damaged nuclear central itself that lose a quarter of its planned energy production for 15 years and is not producing any energy since the year 2000; only debts.

Taking all of this in mind, As thematic park and bussiness, Chernobyl is a ruinous one. Is a nice continental nature park, the first in the world, but apart of that is a ruinous adventure.

China is an offender in the eyes of the usa. They are free to have their own policies. They also have every right to have their own policies around IPs and patents.

Now that it makes people unhappy in the US, I get it, it's a different mindset. But as much as the US has the right to disagree with China's policies and vision, China has every right to disagree with the US one.
The US government as every right to try to protect its market but China has every right to fight back.
> Maybe one's IP address on a cellular connection doesn't matter as much as I thought. I just did a check and it didn't even get my city correct.

It all depends on your cell provider. A lot of cellular providers use GCNATs so their whole customer base appears to connect from just a handful of IPs without any proxy headers (which is why doing a ip address geo location on yourself is giving you wrong info).

A few providers will give you a non nated IP on request (and usually for a fee). IPv6 should “fix” the issue.

Adherence to standards is very good across the board. It isn't like it was in the 90s when standards were seen as mere guidelines and suggestions.

Safari is going strong. FF is going to be around but they are certainly struggling - and it's their fault. They have had the uncanny ability to make the wrong decision every time. They are hamstrung by their legacy architecture that they are just starting to break out of. Their side projects (Firefox OS, Pocket, Reality) were/are a total waste of time. And of course, they promoted and then fired Eich over nothing - which leads one to wonder what kind of a circus they run internally.

Microsoft is interesting and for now they are using a packaged version of Chromium - but I could see them do a hard-fork in the same way that Google forked WebKit because at some point a trillion-dollar company won't want to be tied to another trillion-dollar company's roadmap.
There are people there who think a beef patty isn't considered a "processed food"

Where do you draw the line with processed? A beef patty is in essence just a steak, ground up, and mushed together. Now there are no doubt some more unsavory purveyors of beef patties that do more than that, but in itself I find it hard to argue that a beef patty (which I can trivially make myself in my own kitchen using only a chefs knife) counts as processed.

edit: that being said, I don't find his overall argument persuasive at all and it's not like he's a neutral scientist.
