Corporations don't exist in a vacuum, they are organizations of people working and recieving salaries. I would argue that by having corporate headquarters located somewhere you are bringing massive net benefit if you only look at salary. The corporate income tax is just extra that the government can squeeze out of them and its become apparent that the biggest corporations can get out of most of that anyways in the US by careful gaming of the tax code. Thus my proposal to lower the rate to a more realistic amount and simplify the tax code. Amazon paid $0 corporate income tax last year on $11 billion in income, they structure the company around reinvesting all the profit for the exact reason of not paying taxes. 2% flat rate for everyone is much better than 0% for the most cunning.
The question should be how can we create a new internet where we don't need a centralized 3rd party search engine not a new internet where there is no search engine. You can't find anything if there is no search (engine) and you can't change that.

musl has no problem with utf8, because musl doesn't implement an utf8 string api. musl is strict C11. This is one of the problems. Most libc's do have this problem.
There is casefolding, which is small but too slow (as explained). And 6 years behind. (Unicode 6.0 vs 12.1)
There's no normalization at all, so you cannot search for strings, just for memory buffers. Which leads to insecure identifier handling, such as all public names, paths, ... There is a lot of identifier API in C11 and various syscalls/kernels, which are all insecure. Not musl's or any libc fault, but they should lead the pack, not follow wrong standards.
Having checked unicode collate handling, guess there's none neither. It's planned for later this year I read.
Unicode (the "wide" api) is UTF-32 which is too big and too slow.

It is intuitive to think of it that way,yes but my friends have had bad experiences with what it recommends.

I'm going to be very cynical and say that 7 is the only reason this legislation is being pushed, and that's the reason it's in the middle, surrounded by boringly reasonable stuff.

More cynicism says that it will require IoT devices to be closed source in order to get a signature, and require government access and audit on running devices (to confirm integrity.) That may secretly be the backdoor clause. I'm probably wrong, but the UK government is fully committed to total surveillance, and the opposition either has no position or tacitly supports it.

Domain authority is a distributed 'trust' system?

But you want 'manually curated' but not 'crowd sourced', which suggests you want an individual to or small group to find, record, and curate all pages (? or domains, or <articles>, or ...) across more than 60 Billion pages of content??

There's something like 1000 FOSS CMSs - I would be surprised if there's a million domains with relevant info to sift through just for that small field.

There's no way you're curating _all_ that without crowd sourcing.

Of course you don't have to look at everything to curate, but how are you going to filter things ... use a search engine?
It toasted linux!? (I'm okay being downvoted a little for that...)
I call this the 'Disney World' effect of nature tourism. Self-involved, entitled people who treat national parks and the wilderness like an amusement park that has been set aside for their entertainment. They expect the natural world to cater to their whims the same way a Disney world employee does, and they just do not understand that's not how the world works.
Gotcha, I assumed that it was a little handwavy on the details to be more accessible to a wider audience. It is very possible that they don't let others download the complete ledger and only let you ask for a certain private key's current balance. I agree that this is even more concerning (if true) than regular PoS. I also didn't read the proposal deep enough to know if you can register to be a node that sees all proposed transactions even though you can't actually validate them. If there is on way for external monitoring or audit, this truly is not blockchain even in name only. Then it is simply a replicated database with restricted access.
I think this is a potential basically everywhere, unfortunately most people do not respect the environment and given access will treat nature like a city. Where it becomes an issue is more a matter of forces acting to encourage "normal" people with no previous interest in nature to go and e.g have their piece of the pie for their worthless facebook pic.

Anecdotally, I've seen this multiple times on smaller scales in nature reserves in the UK, social networking and selfies definitely play a big role. It's usually the places with easy access, almost no commitment or effort required, easy selfie opportunities... in these locations in recent years i've observed massive amounts of litter and disrespect, to add insult to injury these intruders tend to be ignorant of safety in general, hurling rocks, boulders and bottles into the path of walkers and climbers bellow from cliff tops.

The reaction from local authorities is to add more fences and gates, locking previously available easy access routes... basically keep the barrier for entry into nature reserves high enough for careless people to stay away.

Did you read the post or are you just responding to your own prejudices? The parent post said that OS vendors should have sandboxes without an App Store. Isn’t Apple doing exactly that with the Macintosh? The Mac App Store is optional and despite all of the conspiracies, it was introduced over 8 years ago and you can release an application on the Mac just as easily today as you could then.

So how is MacOS - a real certified Unix OS “dumbed down”?

Maybe if IPFS (~web 3.0) succeeds in the future, you could solve the advertising problem by inventing a meta network, where all the sites involved would agree to follow certain standardized criteria of site purity. You'd tag the nodes (or sites), and then have an option to search only sites from the pure network. Just a thought.
edit: Maybe this would lead to a growing interest in the site purity, and as the network's popularity would grow, you could monetize the difference to its advance.

Not really, that thread is asking for a limit on S3 traffic serving (ie: bandwidth used). That doesn't cap the account spend nor does it delete data (and you will continue to be charged for data storage, requests, etc.).

I recently used Semantic-UI (http://semantic-ui.com/) in a project. Semantic-UI is a web framework where "semantic" means there are human readable class names like

<button class="minor red labeled button">

Compared to Bootstrap, Semantic-UI ships with high level "components" ("views", "modules", "collections"). And here comes the ugly: They all abuse HTML as if it was 2008. Div soup everywhere. Even lists have to be formatted as Divs, something I havent done since ages, something like:

<div class="ui list">
<div class="ui list item">...</div>
<div class="ui list item">...</div>
</div>

It really felt as if the knowledge about semantic html tags got lost somewhere. Or the authors of this popular CSS framework have another understanding of "semantic". It doesen't meet my quality of structured HTML, thought.
>So we remove a bunch of well tested, working language features on the basis of making the community do less work?

No, it's about focusing effort.
I see a lot of good comments here, I got inspired to write this:

What if this new Internet instead of using URI based on ownership (domains that belong to someone), would rely on topic?

In examples:

netv2://speakers/reviews/BW
netv2://news/anti-trump
netv2://news/pro-trump
netv2://computer/engineering/react/i-like-it
netv2://computer/engineering/electron/i-dont-like-it

A publisher of webpage (same html/http) would push their content to these new domains (?) and people could easily access list of resources (pub/sub like). Advertisements are driving Internet nowadays, so to keep everyone happy, what if netv2 is neutral, but web browser are not (which is the case now anyway)? You can imagine that some browsers would prioritise some entries in given topic, some would be neutral, but harder to retrieve data that you want.

Second thought: Guess what, I'm reinventing NNTP :)

Easy:

Hand every tourist a brochure about the Do's and Dont's. Aka, like Singapore prints warnings (DEATH TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS) on their landing cards.

If laws and rules are disrespected fine the sweet bejeezus out of those assholes (like in the thousands of $ range) and ban them from the country (or ideally, from the Schengen room) for 5 to 10 years.

The problem will solve itself in short time.
Why was it disgusting? Were they thrashing something, like those in the article?
>But static HTML pages isn't the web, and the single page application genie isn't going back in the bottle.

Single page applications are the corporate web. The profit web. The web that exists to squeeze information and money out of you without ever sharing or exposing any of itself. SPA are a cancer on the web that aren't going back in the bottle. Corps are gonna corp and institutions will follow.

But you, the single web dev, don't have to take this bullshit design philosophy home with you. Just because you have to shovel manure at work doesn't mean it's beautiful or that you need to bring the shovel home for personal projects. Get paid for shoveling shit. At home make real web pages.

> Sure, good idea, let's disable 2FA on your life savings account, just because you can't have 2 logins from different locations, or two different users.

You can also restrict IP address access and lock down the server, but yes I also do not think disabling 2FA is a good idea.

> First, it's not a real API between you and IB's servers. It's actually an API between your software and the IB heavy, graphical, client that you installed (the API gateway just being a lightweight client). You have to start a listening local socket on the heavy client, and send your messages to it.

The reason it is done this way is to prevent needing to upgrade all clients when there is a "better" way to do stuff. To think that a $20B company does not have the resources to strip away the minimal windowing stuff for the gateway does not pass the smell test. There is a reason they do things this way and the main reason is that it enforces conscious decisionmaking on the part of the user:

1) Automating filling in login/password: need to decide how YOU are going to store the password securely

2) Disabling 2FA: need to decide how YOU are going to secure the server

In both cases, the point is to make sure there is a human involved in how accessing the account is going to occur. This protects both IB and the client.

So in my case, I decided I will leave 2FA enabled, restrict IP access to one of two IPs, and log in using 2FA once a week. Probably a global maximum in the tradeoff between convenience and security.

> It's asynchronous in the _worst_ possible way. Basically you send messages to the heavy client, asynchronously, and you have a single stream of replies all tangled together with no means to know from which request they originate, which is why all wrapper implementations just _force_ you to make synchronous API calls: so that they can match the replies to the requests.

> There are only some half-baked, unfinished, tutorial-driven libraries that do synchronous request-reply for 50% of the protocol. The official library being an automatically-generated python binding of the Java SDK. Not my definition of "good".

> Did you actually ever used these APIs in real-life?!

ib_insync works pretty well and though I have only ever used it seriously in a synchronous manner, the synchronous API is implemented on top of the asynchronous API. Check it out!
How to Reduce Code Complexity
It's not only due to size...
You seem to have misunderstood rhinoceraptor's point given the context they've responded to.

The post they responded to said that the Raspberry Pi is unsuitable to all "real products" because they can't buy 250k of them - you might actually be arguing against their definition of "real product"? rhinoceraptor merely pointed out that that isn't the goal of the Raspberry Pi, and one thus should use something else if it doesn't fit the requirements. If that's your situation, your competitors will have the same problem. If it isn't, then "use something else" doesn't apply to you.
Just as a suggestion, this question might be rephrased as can we have an Internet that doesn't require search companies, or even just massive search monopolies.

I'm not sure what the answer is re:search. But, an easier example to chew on might've social media. It doesn't take a Facebook to make one. There are lots of different social networking sites (including this one) that are orders of magnitude smaller in terms of resources/people involved, even adjusting for size of the userbase.

It doesn't take a Facebook (company) to make Facebook (site). Facebook just turned out to be the prize they got for it. These things are just decided as races. FB got enough users early enough. But, if they went away tomorrow.. users will not lack for social network experiences. Where they get those experiences is basically determined by network effects, not the product itself.

For search, it doesn't take a Google either. DDG make a search engine, and they're way smaller. With search though, it does seem that being a Google helps. They have been "winning" convincingly even without network effects and moat that make FB win.
Using "elitist" as an insult is getting old. You have to accept that behaviour shown by uneducated people is often inadequate. (Of course, "uneducated" about what... that depends on the context. We're discussing netiquette here but it could be anything else.)
Everyone has missed the most important aspect of search engines, from the point of view of their core function of information retrieval: they're the internet equivalent of a library index.

Either you find a way to make information findable in a library without an index (how?!?) or you find a novel way to make a neutral search engine - one that provides as much value as Google but whose costs are paid in a different way, so that it does not have Google's incentives.

I work in the medical device industry and one major dynamic that's improving surgical capabilities for aging surgeons is the increase in surgical robots.

I was in a lab testing a new product on the da Vinci Robot and one of the surgeons commented to me that "this robot will add another 10 years to my career" -- he was probably in his early 60's already! It will be very interesting to see how robotic technology changes surgical outcomes as robotic surgery becomes the standard of care.
Hey HN, Josh here, developer of Enlyte,

Enlyte is a new computer science and tech community.

HN has some of the best tech content on the web, but the community has evolved and there seems to be more and more content unrelated to tech, which is great, but I’m sure some people would love a tech focused HN, including myself.

Right now the content is pulled from HN top stories and moderated to only show CS/Tech related content. But users can post their own links and questions directly on Enlyte.

There are some key differences from HN:

- Computer Science and Tech content only

- Content is organized into News, Tools, Questions and Other

- Downvoting comments either requires user to spend 1 of their own karma (on Enlyte karma is called “Influence”) OR an explanatory reply, this is to encourage constructive discussions and combat toxic-induced downvotes.

- Posts and Comment Influence Points are capped per Post/Comment (at 50 right now) to combat influence farming

- Markdown support

- Notifications

Some additional features:
HN comment replies can be fully collapsed, so you can dig into the comment that interest you most

- You can turn off filter to see all posts (the ones that are flagged)

Other things to mention:
- Posts pulled from HN have their scores reduced to give content posted by users on Enlyte a chance to reach the top of the rankings.

- Mobile friendly

- If firebase is blocked in your country, unfortunately HN comments wont show up, nothing I can really do to fix that on my end. You’ll have to use a VPN or something.

What I’m working on right now:
- Search, it’s real primitive right now and basically doesn’t work

This is a work in progress, so if you find any bugs (I’m sure they will show up) or have any suggestions/questions, you can comment on HN or email me at contact@enlyte.com

Typically a high-pitched whine from a CRT is from the flyback transformer. I found, when I was a kid, that sometimes a well-placed whack on the CRT's cabinet could temporarily fix the problem.

Nowadays, I have no idea if I can hear that whine anymore or not, as CRTs are quite uncommon. Probably not. Much for the better, as it used to give me headaches.
How would you achieve that? By outrightly outlawing advertising?

There absolutely are paid options on the web. It's just that they don't seem to appeal to a sufficient number of buyers so advertising could become irrelevant.

> Neil describes his pre-university education as “High School”. We don’t have “High School” in the UK - we call it “Secondary School”. This might make sense if Neil was American, or trying to communicate with an American audience, but there’s no indication that this is the case.

Many secondary schools in the UK still have "High School" in their name. I've always used the two terms interchangeably, but maybe that's because I went to "<TownName> High School", or maybe it's because I'm old.
