Aeronautics is (still) an incredibly glamorous field, and fighter jets and aviation disasters are a stereotypical topic of fascination for male engineers. HN is all about the "cool", charismatic side of engineering, and it doesn't get much cooler than critiquing warplanes and analysing air disasters.

Geeking out about this kind of topic is routine for people with an interest in engineering. And let's be clear: it really is just a matter of geeking out, people getting a thrill out of playing at "appearing to really know their stuff".

It's not just about branding, it's also about knowing what you eat. And also about restaurants not being able to make every possible piece of food from scratch.

If they made their own veggie burger, I love that. If they bought the best veggie burger on the market, that's also great.

There are plenty of brands involved in restaurants, in meat, in fake meat, in the preparation of the food (Big Green Egg for example). It's rarer to come across brands in vegetables or non-meat/meat-like products, but it happens. Sometimes their bread comes from the best bakery in town and they want you to know that.

Making everything from scratch is a lot of work for a small restaurant. There's nothing wrong with outsourcing it to a specialist.

And they also sell branded drinks, don't they? They don't brew their own cola or beer (well, some do[0]), and they will tell you what brand they've got.

Thanks for the explanation, really!

Of course I think it's absolutely a mess. (Reading Google documentation is probably the most important thing NOT to do, it just confuses people while generally being completely unhelpful and less than useless.) And this is because Google is a master of failed communication. They just so suck at it, I don't know how can they consistently be so bad at it.

Anyway, the products and the concepts and the engineering and the flow is mind-boggingly simple.

Picasa evolved to Google Photos. The desktop client vanished. There's a Google Photos app, default on [all? most?] Android phones. And it has a backup/sync function, so if you connect your Google account it syncs photos to Google Photos. (This can be disabled, and there are probably countless apps that can/do backup to Google Drive though!)

Google Drive is completely separate, except they added an optional feature pseudo-folder. Which was bound to confuse people. Because [I guess] they exposed the underlying "files" from Google Photos. (Of course they are just blobs on a blobstore and tables in a DB.) So they connected that API/DB from Gphoto to Gdrive, and made it look like files. Which is stupid, because the semantics was never defined/cleared for users who are not somehow imaginary-systems engineers.
> This is true, and I have very strong feelings about developing an indigenous discourse on technology and against the passive acceptance of the influences and ideologies coming from California.

Italian here, I can agree that it would be nice if more "indigenous" tech stuff existed in Italian but English is the de facto language in tech and anyone working on the field should be able to at least read English articles otherwise you'll only limit yourself.

Here on HN we see many blog posts or content produced by non-native English speakers and I don't see what's wrong with it, it opens up your content to an huge community that's quite global not only from SV

So there's a few things to unpack here.

> with their own malicious version, designed to inject adverts into users’ browsers

Your very first example wouldn't be prevented by these changes.

> 42% of malicious extensions use the Web Request API

So 58% don't event need the Web Request API to do something malicious. So these changes don't really improve safety at all.

> hacking the extensions, buying control of popular extensions

Both these scenarios need to be addressed at a different level. Things like enforcing 2-factor for high value extension authors (> 100K installs or something). Also remember Google operate a walled garden here. No extension can be published on the store without being vetted. They should be identifying high profile/value extensions and subjecting them to additional checks.

For me, and I'm sure many people, my biggest threat vector is ads. They threaten my security (malicious/malware laden ads), my privacy (tracking), and performance (slow, bloated ads). My ad blocker protects me every day from this threat vector. Google are now definitively weakening mine and a lot of other peoples protection in order to improve the security of the few. To me this does not seem like a reasonable compromise, especially when there are alternative ways to address their concerns.

And I'm sorry, but I really don't trust the motivations of a company that makes billions of dollars a year off online advertising, that has publicly stated that Ad Blocking is a threat to their business model, to then be making a change that just so happens to cripple Ad Blockers.

For a v6-only host to talk to a v4-only host you need a router performing stateful NAT64 at some point (it's fundamentally impossible to statelessly route IPv4 packets to v6 hosts because there aren't enough v4 addresses). While in theory that router could live anywhere on the IPv6 network (and packets are routed to it via normal IPv6), normally you'd have it on the 6-only host's network (and coordinate with their DNS servers if they wanted to be able to connect to 4-only hosts by hostname via DNS64).

It's a little ugly, but it's pretty much the same situation those v6-only hosts would be in if they were v4 hosts without public addresses (behind NAT), and they get to use ordinary direct connections when talking to a v6-enabled host on the outside.

I struggled to see the value-add, I think it does automatic bundling & inserts polyfills based on UA strings. The whole pika project looks like a rewrite/alternative to the npm servers, kind of like MetaCPAN is for perl's CPAN+search.cpan.org

20° is a 36.4% grade [1].

New Zealand's Baldwin Street [2] is the world's steepest residential street, according to Guinness World Records, with a slope of 19°.

San Francisco's Filbert Street has a gradient of 17.5° [3] and that's that's steep enough that it has steps.

Of course, a road can be "very steep" and "normal for SF" at the same time! IMHO even if a road is very steep, if you're hiring scooters in a city the brakes (and geometry) should be good enough that an average rider can safely descend the city's steepest roads.

There's a LOT of effort going into cancer research. It's just cancer is not one thing. It's not like HIV. There are many many different types of cancers, and they are currently treated and diagnosed differently. They are expressed differently. Many cancers are extremely treatable now thanks to research (testicular cancer >98% survival rate), while others are not at all (<1% for pancreatic).
Of course Stripe would oppose it. It stands to lose transaction volume.

I haven't researched this law more closely, so I might be missing something, but... this requirement seems mostly sensible? I might disagree with details, but I support the premise.

The vast majority of online purchasing UX I see in the US makes it possible to charge a credit card with just possession of a card and some public records searches about the card owner's residence. Requiring a second out of band verification from the payment account owner would be a very sane way to prevent stolen payment info.

Sure, it might drop conversions by 25%, but given how getting your information stolen from someone who probably has your payment info is not a matter of "if" but "when" in today's climate, maybe it's time we modernized how we pay for things online.
Restaurants source lots of products. Certainly in the drinks department, but I've often come across some form of branded meat, usually to show their meat is better than just your standard random meat.
You obviously won't die from not watching Game of Thrones.

However, depending on your circle of friends and acquaintances, you might be excluded from social interactions. This can range from not getting occasional references, to not being able to participate in many conversations (during "peak" Game of Thrones a couple of years ago, they were a major and frequent topic in many circles) and hence being side-lined, to even being semi-ostracised ("Why should they hang out with this loser who doesn't even watch Game of Thrones?"). Obviously you could claim that you should get other/better friends, but that's not really realistic, especially if you're already on the border of social isolation.

This will have negative effects on your well-being and even your health (loneliness is a major health risk, on par with obesity and smoking).[0]

I'm not watching game of thrones, but I can't quite see the connection here.

The argument doesn't really depend on people finding they have to view something.

They want to view it, so they look at the offering, which is illegal with bad customer experience or legal with better customer experience. They weigh their options according to their preferences, illegal VS legal, ad riddled pages vs smooth experience, having to find out how it works vs having it work in the TV out of the box. And then they will check the price to see what is the better trade off for them.

A good customer experience like Netflix will increase the odds that someone won't go through the hassle. Then if the price is reasonable people won't on average decide for the illegal option.

The problem for Netflix now is that a lot of third parties like Disney retract their content. This raises the price and worsens the UX, because you have to go through multiple subscriptions. This again raises the probability of pirating.

This is all just basic economics, not a moral argument.

No, it would be straightforward for a worm to figure out what internal network addresses they were using, what routers there were behind, and send packets to those routers whose destinations were those internal network addresses (192.168.1.2 or whatever). NAT does nothing to stop that.

Most routers won't forward those packets. But that's got nothing to do with whether those routers are running NAT or not.

I have come to the conclusion that the problem is a pretty fundamental one we have in tech.

You no longer agree with a person to something. Everything is a platform that aims to function with as little human involvement as possible. But there is nothing wrong with human involvement. They can adapt to individual circumstances and be someone you can talk to in case of an issue.

Multicast for everything is difficult. But would it be all that difficult to have 100k or 1M entries?

Something that would definitely be doable today is an IP header that stores 25 or 50 extra destination addresses. But it seems like nobody really cares. Just make streaming services send out a thousand packets with identical data.
Very likely. It would have to be good of course, and it might get some getting used to, but much of our food is already far more artificial than that, and lab-grown meat might well end up being healthier, more economical, and certainly more animal friendly than real meat.

it's fine, but every language allows to express ideas that cannot be expressed in other languages, or allows you to think about the same ideas from a different perspective.

"They were teaching their students big ideas. But they were ideas about what causes what — not about supply and demand."

Because supply and demand doesn't cause things? I think there are some citations needed for that claim.

Reading between the lines, I think the VOX article makes the "new approach" sound more stupid than it actually is. It is of course a good idea to test economic ideas with rigorous methods.

Article makes it sound almost as if the "new economics" was just "grievance studies" - creating statistics about how disadvantaged some people are (as if society and economics have been previously unaware that such people exist). That would be stupid, because it doesn't teach you anything about what you could possibly do about it. But between the lines, the professor seems to conduct experiments to determine actual outcomes of economic measures. That makes sense. But you still need "normal economics" to come up with measures that have a shot at improving things.
