The claim is that G2A acts as the equivalent of a fence.

Let me explain. Many crooks want money. A lot of illegal activities generate what looks like value but it's hard to turn into money and unless you do it's useless. A stolen television is valuable but why would I pay 60% of retail price to some geezer in a lock-up at 2am for what is obviously a stolen TV? The Fence buys stolen things from crooks for a fraction of their value, then operates a seemingly legitimate business which sells those things to ordinary punters to collect the difference.

Being a Fence is a crime. "Receiving stolen goods" we call it in most places. You're guilty if you know or should reasonably have known that the goods you got were stolen.

The argument against G2A is that logically the stuff they're buying for cheap can only exist if it's being obtained by crooks. A week after a game is released for $25 the _only_ reason somebody wants to sell 100 codes for $5 each is that they used stolen credentials to get those codes and are cashing out.

I think in a monolithic Java or C++ application the organisational boundaries often do flow along class boundaries (and actually the boundaries between two programmers can be nearly as high as those between two teams).

In object oriented programming classes are basically black boxes of code with well defined interfaces. In that sense modules, packages and microservices are just new types of "classes" we invented since the law of Demeter was formulated in '87. The purpose of all of those constructs is just to give a clear interface to a black box of code, just that those black boxes get successively larger.
Looking at Mozilla IRC at the time, the reason wasn't bribery, but something way more basic.

Did you ever support an old SOAP server made in '90, that had a lot of bugs, that was slow as hell made of molasses, and was vulnerable to several security exploits?

Now imagine you have millions of users demanding, speed, security and those XML add-ons , I mean servers.

Basically Mozilla decided to ditching the old system in favor of the newer one, was the best choice at the time.

Remember his famous “Giant Sucking Sound” comment?

There is a lot of truth to this. Since Fedora is the upstream for Red Hat, and IBM historically kill off anything not making a profit, how long before this happens? I wonder if they'll split the two?

Red Hat does "control" a disproportionate amount of Linux development. Everything is also now basically dependent on systemd.

I'm seeing more and more IT guys I know move over to Free/OpenBSD because they don't like the direction Linux is taking. While Linux is only a kernel, the entire userland is basically dependent on systemd.

Linux has become what it hated in Windows. A massive, bloated mess. I've always preferred BSD on the server and something else on the desktop (hurry up, Haiku!). I still wish BeOS would have gotten more traction beyond the BeBox.

Methinks the move towards FreeBSD--and it's happening in quite a few circles, will continue, especially if IBM get heavy handed with Fedora/Red Hat. I'm not worried, per se, but I am concerned, for the aforementioned reasons.

I don't have the sources now, but I've read that Japan had earlier made peace overtures which were ignored.

Also, the US was intent on getting an unconditional surrender from Japan, whereas Japan was hoping for a conditional surrender.

If Japan's peace overtures were accepted, even if at the cost of some conditions, hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved and Japan need not have been the world's first nuclear casualty.

This is not to mention that there were some high ranking US military men who tried hard to get the first nukes used against even larger population centers than Hiroshima or Nagasaki (Kyoto was their desired target, if I remember correctly) so that they could get better data on the nuke's effectiveness. And not to mention the widespread anti-Japanese racism in the US, which viewed Japanese people as subhuman.

It's far from clear that nukes were used against Japan merely to save lives on both sides, nor (even if we disregard the intent) is it clear that they did so.

Hope springs eternal in the hearts of men. Here's the thing: We have a LOT of evidence that those corporate promises mean nothing. There is a vast history inside and out of IBM of exactly this pattern of everyone saying nothing will change and then everything changes.

What you are saying to us is that the only reason you think nothing will change is that you really, really believe the IBM people. (Just like Palmer Luckey:https://thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2014/03/...) But that's even less than what other companies have been able to offer skeptics. But we know

"Seventy percent of U.S. acquisitions in the United States negatively impact the acquiring company’s results, sometimes immediately, and often continuing many years after purchase. Approximately 40 percent of the acquisitions of the last 10 years brought devastating business results. In about 80 percent of such cases, product or service, market share, and cultural impact are far below the goals anticipated in the beginning."

Those exchanges are those "on and off ramps" that the Facebook is talking about here.

Otherwise, Libra can be used "anonymously" just like Bitcoin. You download a client, you generate an identity and then you can receive/send it.

https://developers.libra.org/docs/my-first-transaction#creat...

That's why the whole money laundering issue comes up in the first place, because Libra is a cryptocurrency much like many others.

Its distinction is really that it's not decentralized (like Ripple), that it's backed by real assets (like Tether - supposedly) and that Facebook and some other big corps are involved.

Those are all reasons for crypto-idealists to hate on it and spread FUD, which the Facebook-hating rest of the interest readily gobbles up.

In practice, those are all reasons for Libra to actually work as a means of exchange, as opposed to a highly speculative risk asset. Ripple transactions are instant. Tether price is stable, despite its sketchy background. Big corporations can influence points-of-sale.

You still have to cover expenses (development + running costs - like maintaining your multiplayer network). The way you set the price combined with the projected sales should lead to profit. But you may very well decide to have markets with higher purchasing power to subsidize the ones with lower purchasing power so that you can cover those costs and make a profit. You could very well just have losses.

If the answer to your question was "no way" then software would be the one guaranteed way to swim in money.

> Security is tricky for many companies ... The solution is to have security controls that cross cut entire enterprises and give operators a place to control them

This is definitely an area worth tackling, and one where multiple companies are recently growing. That's not the only issue though.

Security has many levels and the landscape is historically filled with opaque practices and prices. That does not entice people to go forward with security audits or solutions.

We've seen improvements on tooling with SAST but active security is largely pattern-based WAF or at the network level. This has poor signal/noise ratio and can't protect against more advanced attacks that target above the network layer (including HTTP).

Recent developments target more knowledge of the application and the business logic itself. Facebook itself for example has internal tools to detect data leaks. Being inside the application is much more useful because they don't just see data flying by but have knowledge of context and call sites, which allows to register malicious calls on the spot, protect just in time (even against zero days because you hinge on behaviour), and show the exact line of code (including the call stack) where the vulnerability lies, allowing to surface and fix it, or even virtual patch the vulnerability live.

> however what we have today is just a jumble of different solutions that consist more of blocking access rather than allowing the business to run securely.

The goal of ASMs is precisely to solve that: those tools are kind of APMs like New Relic or Datadog, only geared towards security. Big names like Facebook or Google have their own internal tools, but a couple of independent solutions have emerged already, and I think that having those companies around is going to be a shift that will benefit everyone's security in the long run, due to their accessibility and ease of use compared to previously existing solutions.

Understood, i see what you are referring to. Then yes - generally speaking - Instagram and Pixelfed both allow for users to post pictures and allow interaction based on them...the differences between these platforms then become more about for example how those functions are achieved (centralized vs decentralized/federated), and how much control one has over one's own data/content.

It is my opinion that one of the platforms allows for far more freedom/liberty and control of one's data and presence...while the other one is Instagram.
To really get off-topic: The use of 'she' is likely in immitation of the female-gender pronouns that are used to refer to ships and other watercraft or like nation-states, as is common in English. Likening FB to a large ship or country is not unreasonable in terms of how big corporations can be, and I think it may be applicable to larger firms like GE, Ford, Shell, etc that do not have majority voting control by one person. However, as FB is totally controlled by Zuck (an edge case in public companies,for sure), I think that refering to FB like a large ship or micro-state is not apt.

FB is Zuck.

>The problem is that a touchpad is still fundamentally an indirect pointing device, rather than a direct pointing device like a touchscreen.

As a counterpoint, cursor movement with a trackpad is just as indirect, yet we make the cursor move around directly with your finger.

Why not make the cursor act like traditional scrolling? Treat the cursor like the contents of a scrollable view, and your finger motion acts like it's moving the viewport relative to the contents even though the cursor/page is actually moving while the screen/viewport is stationary?

That sounds super weird, yeah?

Having flipped my mental model to "one finger drags the cursor, two fingers drags the content", going back to "one finger drags the cursor, two fingers drags the viewport relative to the content" sounds similarly strange.

>And ergonomically, it's easier to perform a down scroll on a touchpad with the non-"natural" scroll direction, because your fingers have more room to curl further than to straighten out when they're resting normally on the trackpad.

Not really an issue; scrolling has momentum and requires very little movement. Give it a push and then put your fingers back down to stop it, it's not like a clicky mouse wheel where you have to scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll to go more than a few lines at a time.
> Incentivizing human beings means treating them like the rats and birds

Not at all. Incentivising means to motivate. How many people work because they want money rather than because they like to work?

> Rewarding a child for reading makes them read for the external reward (for someone else) and makes them hate reading even more because of the humiliation and having to go against their own internal compass in order to get something they want.

The first part might be true in some cases. But the latter part certainly isn't. We might try to take the moral high ground but parents effectively bribe their children on an almost daily basis: "if you eat all your dinner you can have ice cream / chocolate for pudding"; "if you go in the bath now I'll pour extra bubble mixture in"; "if you're a good buy while we are shopping then I'll buy you a magazine / chocolate"; etc. Even just the process of potty training involves giving over-enthusiastic praise every time they use the potty / toilet instead of wetting themselves - effectively rewarding them with gratitude.

Children are wilful creatures and, as much as we promote independence, we still have lives we need to manage with chores and other stuff that isn't always fun. Even as adults we manage that by saying things like "if I tidy the kitchen now I'll chill with a glass of whisky and an episode of my favourite show" or "I'll go for a run 3 times a week then reward myself with an ice cream at the weekend"... etc. I used HN as a reward for some really dull work (eg I'll write 10 sprint tickets then read something interesting on HN).

Suggesting that the whole concept of a reward system is broken is a massive over-exaggeration. True, rewards can be a broken way of encouragement when used inappropriately but lets not throw the baby out with the bath water (proverbially speaking).

> You may say this prepares them for the “real world” of exploitation but maybe 1, truly successful people find ways to include their internal compass in their daily flow career-wise and 2., a society where almost everyone tolls at the whims and pleasure of a very few ought to be questioned (reference the insane levels of inequality worldwide, having a king emperor is not sustainable).

I think you're trailing off into a hugely philosophical tangent and one I don't really agree with. Capitalism is largely driven by financial reward - many of the greatest disrupters did so for financial gain (the whole "changing the world" meme is really a more dignified way of saying "we want this product to make us rich"). So you can work for personal rewards without being exploited.
