I did read your post, and I disagree, the writer presented the speculation of the two main characters¹ as to the nature of the 'relationship' between the prison warden and Bernice.

Basically, the writer related to us what those two men believe about this event. There are two independent sources for this belief, and to me that's acceptable journalistic practise.²

He is helping the two men tell their story, you are free to disagree with their speculations, but that's what they told the writer.

1: And other relatives.

2: Now the subhead, does contain the word 'rape', and that's maybe the only thing I can fault the article on. However, headlines aren't typically written by the journalist, but rather by a copy editor. I'm not sure what Buzzfeed's practises are on this.

I'm confused on what the definition of "Google News" is. Is it https://news.google.com/ plus the Google News app, or does it also include the news links shown in Google Search results? I imagine it's the latter, given that is probably how most people use Google.

I also don't understand where Google is supposedly making huge revenue on news. Is it solely ads in Google Search? Anecdotally, I just queried for a few different subjects that are in the news today, and there were zero ads in the results.
Let's hope it includes blocking auto-play videos from TheNextWeb.

An ideal platform would use a foss compatible framework. It would allow the user to configure which server to use to push notifications(one server for all apps, since that is needed for battery reasons). Notifications would be encrypted with the apps key.
I assume you're being downvoted because of the unnecessary political commentary.

However, I am curious as to the process for getting a kext signing cert, as that plays a part in the value of having the certs in the first place or not.

I didn't mention anything about serial numbers and the fun and games that goes on there when trying to get a Hackintosh working with iMessage/Facetime/iCloud services, which is a bit of a mixed bag. There could be security implications related to that, that haven't been worked out of the woodwork yet, but the kernel extensions feels like the biggest risk there.

My reference was really to the fact that it has the same hidden properties as the port. What days throughout does it support? What charging capabilities does it have? Can't tell by looking at it.
You know the names of those brands, and recognize them over $generic_brand, and mention of them immediately brings to mind their marketing pitch (sports, skimpy clad girls, etc).

Even if you didn't buy, the advertising worked. You may have built your self-image around beer with the twigs and beaks left in, but others will have a self-image that fits the story and will be vulnerable to being persuaded to buy beer-oid swill.

I was incredibly fortunate with the treatment for my injury. I woke up in A&E with the worst hangover of my life, a shattered tibia that was held together with some external rods, and an inexplicable back pain that I mentioned to doctors as soon as I woke. They took me in for a CT scan, and seeing the images did an operation on my spine the same day - it was major trauma that had the potential to cause paralysis (so I managed to skip the queue!) Basically, they put in some rods that kept the L1-3 verts spaced apart and pinned the lot while it healed.

I was given the option to take it easy for 18 months and get the rods removed, or go for fusion. I took the prior decision and had the metalwork taken out around 3 years ago this month. The physiotherapy followed that whole fiasco. Today I'm at about 80-90% back to pre-injury back health, bar some scar tissue and flexibility issue.

Luckily I'm British. 3 initial surgeries, 3 months in a hospital bed, 1 year of physiotherapy, 2 surgeries to remove the metalwork in my leg and back, 6 months of physio following that, various follow up appointments with doctors and surgeons, and enough medication to tranquilize an elephant - I didn't have to pay a penny. God bless the NHS.

Exactly. I work in web/tech at a museum and I see AR/VR as the next big thing to hit the horizon. The potential is very big, and very cool.

It's not quite there yet, but it's coming soon and once it gets going, it will be as big as the iPhone hitting or greater. It just needs to hit that sweet spot of price, esthetic and functionality.

Should You Static Type Check Your JavaScript?
I don't think I have ever experienced this. I do however experience something like the opposite: music I don't like can evoke anything from a mild sense of dread to an almost caged-animal level of irritation - a very physical level of tension I feel all over. Especially horrid are the highly repetitive songs with vapid lyrics which inevitably go on to punish me by becoming an ear-worm infection for hours on end leaving me feeling exhausted. It makes the day seem unendurably long.

I am a bit of an odd duck when it comes to music though. I often go for weeks and weeks without actively seeking out any music at all. Not that I don't like music, I do, but I don't regularly experience that need for it that so many others seem to have. But, when I am programming and need to go into hyper-focus mode, I often find fast-paced Metal is the ticket, energizing and stimulating.

I haven't thought it through much, but on the face of it I like the idea of receiving some compensation whenever my data is _resold_, plus a way for me to see _where_ my data has been resold, maybe even a notification.

It's a bit like a songwriter receiving a royalty whenever their song is played on the radio or in public (see https://www.prsformusic.com/).

Obviously this would be a challenging thing to implement.
> you don't have a right to compensation every time your data changes hands, just for each unique copy

This is just a matter of law, unless there's a hidden moral assumption behind what you're saying. Your comparison to the IRS makes the point quite easy to draw: laws -- say, laws about handling of PII -- can be changed.
Why would they pay you for your data? How much is it worth?

If you click on 0 ads per year, you generate $0 for Facebook and therefore your data is worth $0.

For a personally targeted (using your data) ad click on FB, you're looking at ~$3.25.
For a web targeted ad click on a niche website, you're probably looking $0.50-$2.50.

In other words, your "data" is worth $0.75-$2.75 per click of revenue

FB spends 17% of revenue on direct costs and another 18% on marketing. Let's ignore R&D improvements and assume 35% of costs to serve that revenue.

Profit per click for FB = $0.49-$1.79 per click.

Please consider that these clicks must have real intent behind them. In other words, there should be at least 10% chance you'd actually buy that product.

In other words, your data is not worth that much money.

...

On the flip side, FB should offer a paid ad-free version of their services but who honestly would pay $10/mo for FB + Instagram etc.?

Interestingly, I think an earlier version of the title had "in all-stock deal", but I think the mods removed it. I wish they hadn't, as that's an important detail for the reasons you mention.

Don't forget about practicing restoration (catastrophe scenarios). So that you will know how long time it will take to restore, and if something is missing. Last time I did it I did not remember the password for the encryption key. Sure I had it written down on a piece of paper, but the scenario was that the building had burnt down.

Everyone (or at least most people here) knows that Google has all those advantages. The issue is that we keep falling back on those advantages, rather than doing the work necessary to make owning your own platform realistic.

I also laughed at the irony of OP's site going down, but these are the growing pains that will ultimately be necessary if we don't want the internet to be walled gardens run by 3-4 companies.
Talking to the HN crowd about platform ownership is pointless. It's obvious that most people here are not able or willing to grasp the long-term consequences of super-centralization, including many so-called security and scalability experts. Not a big surprise, because a lot of them work for highly centralized platforms, aspire to become one, or to be bough by one.

They are not 70s products but they look like 70s products. See my original comment about how those TUIs look and feel worse than programs you'd see in DOS despite having a lot more power and features available to them - even if you confine yourself to the basic colors (but many modern terminals also support -simple, yet usable- graphics, more colors and more characters).

> Then there is a kind of self reinforcing effect where people like working within similar paradigms, and people get used to TUIs in general.

Yes, it is basically a matter of fashion and what baffles me is that fashion.

I mean, even if you consider that terminal-based applications are great, why limit yourself to what a beefed up VT100 could do? Why when typing "ls" not also have a tiny folder icon near the directories (you are already going into the hassle of adding colors anyway, a little icon would make it more obvious which are folders and which are files when you are looking at a huge list), why not having a command akin to "cat" that can decode and display image files right in the terminal, why not have an over-time graph in "perf"'s realtime TUI mode, Emacs already supports different font sizes when running as a GUI program, why not have this in terminal mode too, Clang's static analyzer can show you data flow-based errors, why not have graphical arrows superimposed over your syntax highlighted code when you run it from the terminal (Xcode already does that but it is a GUI), etc.

These are just some examples from the top of my head, i'm sure i can come up with even more.

I think by using only text-based UIs people get used to text-based UIs and all they can imagine is within the limitations of text-based UIs.
Are you referring to the fact that software work is more easily outsourced than trade work? If so, that hardly seems taboo.

At my last job I had a nontechnical boss, and I would have been ecstatic if he had a) enough of a clue to try screwing around with SQL, and b) the wisdom and humility to ask for help.
I filed a bug report about something just like that many years ago (hanging in a CPU intensive loop if you remove all the files in the looping playlist out form under it, i.e. a disk drive goes offline or USB stick is unplugged), and he brushed it off and dismissed my bug report, telling me simply not to do that.

And I also took the time to file several other very detailed bug reports against the Video Effects / Magnification Zoom user interface, which is not only ugly and poorly designed from an ergonomic perspective, but actually drawn into the video at video resolution instead of being drawn in an overlay at full screen resolution, so it gets rotated and is unusable when you combine it with Video Effects / Transform / Rotate, because it fails to transform the mouse events the same as the video and user interface. He brushed that one off as working as designed, too. It's still just the same as it was many years ago when I filed that bug report.

I'm serious: Give it a try, you'll fall out of your seat laughing at how terrible it is! Check out the lowres pixelated font it uses to draw "VLC ZOOM HIDE" between the thumbnail and the bizarre curved zoom scale wedge! The mouse target area of the zoom wedge actually diminishes in size with the width of the wedge, until the minimum zoom target area is only one video pixel wide at the bottom, so it's almost impossible to click. (And it's totally impossible to click anywhere when the video is rotated or flipped, since the target area isn't correspondingly transformed.)

Yes, I know the drill: It's free software, so I should just download the source code, read it, figure out the problem, fix it myself, and post a pull request. But I don't feel spending my time doing that after the author of VLC won't even admit there's a problem.
The sound of The Shimmer from the trailer and in the movie (See here https://youtu.be/89OP78l9oF0?t=54) makes my skin shiver every time I hear it. Also I loved Annihilation both in book and movie form. Have you seen its spiritual predecessor, Roadside Picnic?

On my case, I've switched to tiling window managers because it streamlined my work and made me a lot more efficient. It has nothing to do with "performance" in the computing sense.

I've tried to use the existing "containers" systems on regular desktops and they simply sucked. Not even close to what I get on i3.

This idea of using the mouse to click on everything you need to do is something I cannot get around. Creating advanced GUI tools for "people who know what they are doing" sounds counter-intuitive to me. If you know what you are doing, you can use the damn command line.

GUIs are normally built with less features and/or dumbed down versions for the average user, not the other way around. I suppose if we forced ourselves to build better GUIs that were super flexible, this wouldn't be true. But the reality of today (or ever?) is that normally if you know what you're doing, you're using a CLI and not a GUI.

The time investment is worth it. Once you ease into the keybindings you rarely think about it, well at least for the most common things you do.

The single greatest thing about Emacs is the robust basic modes, which most other modes extend from. So far I haven't used anything as good, although I feel the gap is lessening with VSCode.

I really dislike switching between mouse and keyboard. Emacs's consistency and mouse-free operation speaks to my heart the same way Mark Zuckerberg wears the same shirt every day, it's one less thing to think about, and that's why I love it.
The bext, bdep instructions are the same as x86_64 BMI2 PDEP/PEXT. These are essentially scatter/gather instructions for bits and generally have a latency of three cycles on x86_64. I've never used them. I wonder whether Intel C uses them for anything but intrinsics.

But ARMv8 has the more prosaic Bitfield Operations which fit in 32b instructions and are single cycle on A75. I use these a lot.

I agree. The whole point is that they are already providing a service to you in exchange for your data—a service that is quite expensive to run. If you want to sell somebody your data, that's fine. Pick how you want to be paid. Services or cash.

If a company located in US, like Facebook, avoids paying taxes there (strange that someone who pretends to be rather left leaning person like FB owner escapes taxes, but that's a different story) it is the US problem, not a global problem and they should sort this out somehow - for instance make FB to pay directly for services/resources provided by the state, maybe in the global economy corporate tax does not make much sense any more?*

Doesn't have to use services/resources. It can just pay a tax for the privilege of operating in the country.
