They were actually objectively-true statements. That person just didn't give you evidence supporting them. Here's a few things these alternative designs do:

1. Tiny amount of code in kernel mode with privilege services run with as much untrusted code as possible. Linux is already miles away from this. Even starting with Linux makes you automatically lose against a minimalist, security-focused design. There's even vendors that pre-supply folks with money vulnerabilities to use against Linux. A steady stream.

2. Built-in support at the very foundation for both strong process isolation, decomposing a system into components, and making them communicate easily. The security is almost always better if it's baked in rather than bolted on. At the least, there's fewer bad interactions or escape hatches that can happen when combining insecure and security-focused code.

3. For many L4-related projects, Camkes as a way to handle IPC for you. They usually have some kind of middleware for automatically generating code for components to communicate. They focus on correctness and security more than feature support. I don't know how Docker compares there.

https://ts.data61.csiro.au/software/TS/camkes/

4. Now, like Docker, Genode has some kind of build tooling to put it all together. I haven't read as much about recent changes. So, I'll just say they both do this kind of thing now. I'll also note that separation kernels are typically designed to be integrated with an application, OS, or whatever into a deployable image that contains just what they need. In most, the resources and scheduling policy are also done statically in the code to reduce attack surface.

If you're talking security and componentization, Genode-like designs have Docker beat with a foundation that has way less code, is actually designed for security, and makes achieving it easier by default. One still has to work on assuring anything they build on top. The GenodeOS might have vulnerabilities, too. Just by the numbers, Linux is going to have way more with higher impact on average. If you doubt that...

Dispute Over Russian Testing Divides U.S. Nuclear Experts (2001)

While the CTBT has not entered into force, a monitoring system has been set up around the world with sensors to detect nuclear explosions, whether they are in the atmosphere, underwater, or underground. Twenty-five of the system’s monitoring stations detected the September 9 North Korean nuclear test.

If your admin is itching to abandon multiple nuclear treaties, I'd like more than a "probably" at a speech at a think tank, given that we have an international monitoring system.

> judging a cryptocurrency projects usefulness on cryptokitties is like judging a front end frameworks usefulness on “TODO MVP”

If you sold one of your TODO notes for $170,000 [1] frankly I think that'd be a fair judgement to make.

> substitute crypto kitties with something more real, like say a government starts to issue ownership information for cars (pink slips in the US i think? idk exactly) on the blockchain... there’s live, traceable ownership information, duties can be calculated and applied automatically, and traded on a platform like this. this is an asset that has real value because it exists in the real world; it’s not the bit of paper that has value, it’s the significance that it constitutes ownership of an asset

You know you can do that with a database right? Literally, a database. Like we have today. That's how it works today. You're trying to introduce complexity and inefficiency into the US government. It's like trying to sell ice blocks in the arctic, but somehow dramatically less efficient.

I already trust the government to allow me to drive my car. Why on earth does this need to be decentralized? It's the definition of centralized. A vehicle registration reflects the governments acknowledgement that you own that vehicle and are allowed to drive it at the governments discretion. If they revoke it your blockchain entry will be totally worthless and just out of sync with reality. The value is created by the government.

>almost the entire ad-blocking market is controlled by the company behind Adblock Plus (eyeo GmbH), who has contracts with Google. It appears they also own AdBlock, and uBlock (not confused with uBO), so during the last years they basically tried to capture the entire market.

This makes me wonder if there's any way we can give gorhill a bunch of money in donations. He's in a much more important position than I previously realized, and despite the statement in the uBlock readme ("Free. Open source. For users by users. No donations sought.") I think it would be an excellent idea to make sure he has permanent financial stability for as long as he continues to work on uBlock.

If he wants a multi-million dollar corporate buyer to come along, I'm sure he can get it. But as long as he's incentivized to continue building a truly pro-user ad blocker, we should at least make sure he's not in a situation where he could be forced to sell out.
Same here. Replaced Dropbox with Resilio Sync. It's really beyond the pale to retroactively cripple existing accounts. And their website still claims "Sync files across devices" as a feature for free accounts, which I'd consider a lie ("Sync files across devices", which is the entire point of having Dropbox at all, is very different from "Sync files across three devices")
> And yet there are many Maps, Airpods and Apple Pencil competitors.

Yeah, and they're all garbage because Apple's offerings make use of private APIs that competitors don't have access to.

Look, I love Airpods. I love the Apple Pencil. I use Apple Maps because I don't trust Google with my location data. But all of these products dominate their respective markets because they have access to private APIs.

It is literally impossible to make a stylus that works as well as the Apple Pencil because Apple. Ditto for Maps and Airpods. This isn't me being anti-Apple, they're seriously the only FAANG company I trust at all. But they have an unfair advantage here.

All it would take would be to license the M2 chip for Airpods and open the API, to open the APIs that make Apple Pencil work and let Apple Maps push to the Watch and Airpods. They're not. That's a choice.

>(Even though the one-liner turned out to be a bit more difficult to write than I thought at first due to '\r' characters in the input file)

Although you solved it, another way is that one can always pipe the input through a filter like dos2unix first. Very easy to write and versions can be found/written for/in many languages. Essentially, you just have to read each character from stdin and write it to stdout, unless it is a '\r', a.k.a. Carriage Return a.k.a. ASCII character 13, in which case you don't write it.

I'm confused about the difference between what people are saying here, and what chromium is working on. Referring to the email discussion of the feature:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-exte...

"
It's really unfortunate how many people seem to be commenting here without understanding what the proposed changes even are.
To be clear:

1. This change _IS NOT INTENDED TO GIMP AD BLOCKERS_. Rather, it is designed to make them faster and more secure. (Yes, even despite the limitations that might impact uBlock.)

2. The new proposed content blocking API _is not final_ and can/will be changed.

3. Threatening to switching to Firefox is not helpful and _WILL NOT CHANGE GOOLE'S MIND ABOUT THIS_.

If you don't understand this, please refrain from commenting as you'll only be decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio in this thread and thus making it more likely that the entire thread (including those who are expressing actual legitimate concerns about the limitations of the new API) gets ignored.

If you want to help:

1. Explain a specific use case that the new API can't handle (including a technical explanation of _why_ it can't handle that use-case)

2. Suggest constructive changes to manifest V3's API that will improve its capabilities _while still adhering to the stated goals of manifest V3_

3. If you can't do any of the above, please refrain from commenting so you don't just make things worse

Sorry if I sound aggressive. It just really frustrates me when constructive technical discussions get hijacked by large volumes of unconstructive, uniformed comments. It makes it way harder to get real work done.

> The absence of studies out of these areas with links to harmful health effects is evidence that such levels are likely safe.

That's such an odd wording, making it sound like there's only an absence of studies showing harmful health effects. When in actuality there's an absence of studies, period.

That's why the commentary about the German KiKK study suggests also conducting such studies in the US. If those were already a thing, then there'd be no reason to suggest conducting them?
For work stuff I rely on multiple profiles for different client work (I use about ten of them...so far) and so I stick with Chrome.

If Mozilla didn't have such a demented mechanism to operate with multiple profiles then I'd happily switch from Chrome. This is a feature that should be upfront in the UI, not hidden behind about:profiles and it's generally janky UI and behaviour. This needs to be a first class citizen, not what feels like some half baked afterthought.

Not to nitpick, but if you were to go by the typical comic-book example most 'rich dickheads' end up being super-villains.

If the question is : Do I want the immensely rich to start moving the world around from under my feet with their unlimited resources in order to do 'Cool Things'?

A: No, I don't. 'Cool Things' is too loosely constrained a parameter to allow trillions of dollars to flow into unchecked. What happens when some ultra-rich individuals definitions of Cool Things involves morally unethical behavior?

>Reports have since emerged that the U.S. government has been monitoring Russia’s tests of its still-in-development nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, which the Kremlin says will be nuclear capable. These launches have occurred from Novaya Zemlya and would, by definition, involve a nuclear reactor smashing into the ground at the end of each test, whether it is successful or not.

it sounds like real reactors. One would hope that it were mock-ups.

Wrt. the nuke warheads testing - Russia being that behind in supercomputer capabilities which are required for simulation probably tries/looks for various sneaking approaches of actual testing. I mean all that glorious super-duper-"wunderwaffe" revealed by Putin in the last couple of years means nothing without working warheads. The improved delivery precision allowed US to produce even further yield tuned-down versions of W76 and W88 which normally would require actual testing and was done using simulation instead. The Russia seems to still stuck with the aging models of its warheads. It makes me wonder that there seems to be no stories on attempted export of HPC stuff to Russia similar to China https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/10/us_intel_china_ban/

Claiming that a complicated problem involving a lot of humans, that is very much not solved at the moment, can expect to be fully "solved" in 3-5 years stretches my credulity.

I fully expect the next decade to look much like the past several decades, with both sides of the security arms race making incremental adjustments and improvements.
Okay, I'm not sure about this one, but I have to say, some of the ideas are interesting here, and it aligns pretty well to people here's predictions about cars, journalism, etc.
That part of the code doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's baked in at a rather low level in the browser. That's how it can block requests! In JavaScript!

Google will begin by deprecating the webRequest block API (that's in progress). Then they will begin deprecating the code that supports it.

Then they will begin removing and deleting the "unnecessary" code. Then, at some point in the future, they may make other breaking changes to the webRequest flow that assume that requests cannot be blocked. Each time Google writes new code that assumes webRequests cannot be blocked, Microsoft must patch that code too.

With each successive change, Microsoft will be forced to make a choice:

1. Support both Google's webRequest API and the Microsoft's, at increasing cost with every merge and rebase where Google has cut off or altered another piece of functionality

2. Adopt Google's API and break ad blockers

Google has a profit motive in shrinking the ad blocking market, and therefore they have a perverse incentive to make their browser worse for users, and more expensive for any forks that want to maintain ad blocking functionality.
Can you elaborate on what this is and why you think it’s so great?
Segregation in the Bay
> Why is this a big campaign issue?

It's a big campaign issue (for Warren, and simultaneously not really a big campaign issue otherwise) because Warren is far behind the leading candidates, in a distant third or fourth place depending on the poll, so she's trying to use big concrete policy proposals like this to gain traction.

> Why not break up Walmart while we're at it?

She has other policies that would target Walmart, too.

They're saying that "freedom gas" can be spread "throughout the world". That's nothing to do with energy independence from OPEC. They're talking about what they plan to sell to their allies:

>> “Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy. Further, more exports of U.S. LNG to the world means more U.S. jobs and more domestic economic growth and cleaner air here at home and around the globe,”

They're also associating "freedom gas" with "cleaner air" "at home and around the globe".

That is nothing like a "simple neologism". It's clear, unadulterated propaganda.

Yup, let's not sugar coat it. Most HN says "switched to Firefox and haven't looked back" but Chrome does a lot of magic that makes everything faster (or at least seem faster - doesn't matter to me as a user). Firefox also still occasionally freezes even for a few seconds with some busy javascript, haven't had that experience on Chrome in a long time. I'm using FF for ideological reasons but currently Chrome is simply better in terms of user experience.

And sadly web became so dominated by Chrome that some pages simply don't work correctly under Firefox. I'm not going to switch bank or my mobile operator just because they suck at properly designing websites.
