In that case, it seems the root cause of your concerns about other Internet users is that updates for their systems from the OS developer are no longer considered trustworthy. Given that the developer in question has something of a track record now of delivering potentially unwelcome updates, such caution is reasonable. So I think you're aiming at the wrong target here.

In any case, the vaccination argument only works if it's defending against a real threat. If there's a genuine security issue here, perhaps it is. On the other hand, if this update really is causing otherwise absent telemetry software to be installed, not installing that telemetry software is hardly a threat to other Internet users.
I can't help but think that people using excel to accomplish their task instead of writing a program is a lot like Pythagoras doing geometry without algebra. When you get away from the numbers/code it makes it easier to visualize things.

In the UK there sort of is.

A disproportionate number of journalists come from the Upper and Upper Middle classes. They're sent to private school then study something fluffy (English, Politics, Psychology) and then go work for one of the big national papers.

They don't need to work so can spend their time promoting their causes.
Topsoil loss is a major problem for the environment, but it is worth pointing out that we do not need topsoil to grow food. We have hydroponics and aeroponics and a range of other solutions that do not use land in traditional ways. There is also reason to believe that an increasing fraction of our food will be grown in this way rather than on the land if only because the vast majority of farmable land is already farmed.
That's what the article is about. Also openSUSE (and SLES) run in 64 bit mode on a RPi 3 by default without issues, using a mainline kernel and FOSS userspace (no proprietary /opt/vc stuff).
> Whether that is true or not: How do you expect it to become viable when coal is subsidized?

Cutting subsidies to coal and/or increasing subsidies to solar just raises the cost of energy for end users, which does not affect the average HN user, but will affect the average citizen.

Germans already paying a ridiculous amount of money per kilowatt hour (in fact, we are the first world country with the highest electricity price, 40 US cents as compared to 12 US cents you would pay in the States).

Raising subsidies is an antisocial move that will lead to increased public unrest, at a time when we see right-wing politics raising it's ugly head again.

In the end, the pot goes to the spring till it breaks.
VW seems to specialise in having a number of brands that sell similar vehicles that differ in fairly minor ways.
I see it more as a hedge. I think the prevailing opinion is growing bearish on fully self driving cars. great progress has been made, but as we (the public, at least) learn more, it just seems like production ready vehicles are further away.

my take is that the technology is too valuable (and disruptive) to not invest at all, but so expensive and far away that it doesn't make sense for an established manufacturer to give it the full court press.
Writing emulators, compilers, operating-systems, and codecs are all standard-skills of any low-level systems programmer. My entire team of 50+ people are capable of doing this stuff. The difference between us & Fabrice are: (1) we work for a major company & none of our stuff is publicly available; and, (2) he's still at least head-and-shoulders above most of the people doing this. He'd easily be in the top 5 for my team, and certainly better than of the kids under 40.

Collecting too much data: Ooops we're sorry. Facebook has breached on multiple occasions their deal with the FTC. Until now not much has come out of it.

iOS 12 is only "fast" if you compare it to the disastrous iOS 11. At some point around iOS 12.2, our iPhone 6 Plus became so slow that we replaced it (with a new iPhone of course). iOS 10 would have been a good LTS release for the iPhone 6.

This trend honestly makes me feel dirty to work in software. If you only use a few core apps, iOS 12 looks and feels just like iOS 7, yet it needs several times the horsepower to work. And unlike on the web, we can't blame it on JavaScript ads. It's just shoddy engineering that aligns with Apple's incentives.

Another thing to note is that the future of Blender development never looked as good as it does now.

The recently introduced 'Blender Development Fund' already recieves € 37245 every month in donations, which directly goes to hiring more Blender developers.

As impressive as 2.80 is, I'm really eager to see what 2.81+ brings, one area which looks like it will get a major improvement is 'sculpting' where a newcomer (Pablo Dobarro) has been making waves with a lot of interesting development in a separate branch, resulting in hints from the Blender Foundation of him being hired soon.

Good times!
Even the coal lobbyists admit that there are at most 50k jobs if you also count component suppliers and the like. 50% of the 20k direct employees are also 50 or over. We could just pay them early retirement and would get away cheaper than the damage the extra CO2 causes.
Pretty sure that’s just how things work. Svante guard designs start out as elite expensive works, whether they’re furniture, art, or fashion. As time goes one that work “trickles” down to mass produced items for the masses.

That's what you think being more tuned in. Most of the people I talk to seem to think it's right around the corner. I think that's because Elon Musk does a good job of making everyone hear him say it's nearly there.

I had a power company as a client once, years ago. They had a plant that burned lignite. I was new to the industry and asked what that was.

Although I believe that the amount of effort put in will also provide an amount returned, this isnt always the case, and moreso in this type of "showbiz" career. It also doesnt help that by lowering the bar in this field, you yield better results (see early pewdiepie, belle delphine) it provides better results with a fraction of the effort.
Could it be that in 1968 you felt social pressure to keep cool and calm and unafraid? In that experiment, the presence of "confederates", people who cooperated with experimenters made everyone much more passive.

In 2019 you feel social pressure to act to look responsible and less pressure to look unafraid, so we think differently.
> Almost no viewer or browser support

For browser support it should be possible to implement a poly-fill similar to https://github.com/UprootLabs/poly-flif which renders images in the FLIF format (https://flif.info/) into canvas elements.

FLIF as a format might be worth looking at while you are reviewing the area.
They key difference around the risk of security breaches between this proposed service and 1password is that user data in the 1password cloud is encrypted client-side with a key derived from the user's master password, so there is no way for anyone who gains server access to see the passwords. In the proposed nopassword service, the server would have to maintain passwords in a less secure way, since it would need access to them in plain text to automate setting/resetting/filling them.
Car sales are rapidly declining across the world and we may have hit peak car. Consolidation will likely arise in a market like this by itself. Combine this with the threat from companies like Tesla and you can see the old behemoths wanting to combine forces.

It would be multipass, so it would render ever increasing quality reconstructions, limited by a configurable limit, so that you can limit power consumption on mobile devices.
True, but in perspective a decent N64 emulator requires less than a modern web browser. Though admittedly that's a really low bar.
What? Of course it is. Companies develop certain models together and then they sell it under their own brands all the time. Peugeot Partner/Citroen Berlingo and pretty much every van out there is a shared development.
Looks like a good reminder that as long as you're not hosting it, you're at the whims of the developers.

I chose KeePass a while ago and I'm satisfied with it. There are many compatible implementations out there, and some web-based like KeeWeb.

You can self-host the entire server, or you can use their own and use an online storage provider to store the KeePass database.
Laziness? Or time constraints and specialization?

I see the last stage of compiling as a special skills which requires a lot of time, especially if you want to support multiple platforms. If you're thing is to create a great programming language, then your time is better spent on that rather than create a bad or ok backend supporting very few platforms.

> You mean you don't have to login to use the journal? That authentication is done by IP-Address?

Depends on the journal/resource. Many resources purchased by universities are authenticated by IP. It's less friction for students when trying to access something, and provides psuedo-anonymity.

There is some push to move to something like OpenAthens for all authentication/authorization, but universities do not want to lose the privacy aspect for their students.

I've met him as well, a few times, but do not know him personally like you.

He is definitely very humble and a very good listener. When he told us about this side project he was working on about a year ago, he made it seem like it wasn't a big deal, just a small js engine, would never compete with v8. After a few questions, it was clear that the goal was to implement the latest ECMAScript spec, with all the goodies. It will never be in the v8 league, but it's on a league of its own.
Regardless of your personal opinions on YouTube, It's mostly all the kids are watching these days.

> Tldr if you hear a fire alarm, stand up and leave without a moment's hesitation. No need to run, just get out quick. Please!!

That is specifically counter to the FDNY's guidance on alarms in high rise buildings. You get up, congregate at a stairwell, and wait for instructions from the fire safety director. Simply leaving the building without knowing the nature or location of the emergency is dangerous, and staying where you are may actually be the safest course of action.

Yes - a market that went full mercantalist companies would not be sane or functional. The only time it becomes illegal is price fixing or similiar.

This is just standardization. If one has something sufficiently better than the standard there is an incentive to defect and use it.
the "nanopass" approach mentioned in the article is used in Dybvig's chez scheme (not the nanopass library, just the style of compiler construction), and chez scheme is as close to an industrial grade scheme compiler as it gets, and is pretty fast.

It would only be "illegal" if their collaboration resulted in a monopoly. It clearly doesn't. Two businesses collaborating to fend off threatening competitors is perfectly fine. In fact, it's a good thing insofar as it raises their ability to compete, preserving the competitiveness of the market.

In principle, sure! "Nullius in verba" and all that. But where I think this is interesting and most important is for those pieces of knowledge whose scale / cost make independent confirmation firmly outside the reach of any but the most well-resourced of agents. I think the subject of vaccine safety exemplifies this well. There are only a tiny number of people in the world who, realistically, can independently kick the tires on whether vaccines do / don't work or whether they are / aren't safe. Vaccine believers / skeptics are basically all just left to take someone else's word for it.
The Young Hands That Feed Us
I think it should be the normal thing when is about safety, it would be anti-humanity to say have an invention that makes better breaks and not sharing them with the other manufacturers or for "self driving" to have 20 different implementations, using 20 different training data sets on 20 different OS+frameworks+hardware combinations, if you can get this reduced to a few it should improve safety.

Also keep in mind that this companies do not compete on most of the parts of a car, many of this parts are designed,created and sold by third parties, this third parties can make products for different companies. I assume that now there is not a sufficiently large number of companies building this electric cars parts or self driving hardware and software from which the car producers can buy this parts.

You're right though, most FOSS seems way less likely to remove features people actually depend on that most proprietary software.
Probably a big portion of HN's readers are at least upper middle class. That doesn't mean that they don't have to work. Median income is a lot lower than people think, as are median savings.

No, that's not the standard for a combination in restraint of trade. Controls on monopolies and abuses thereof are not the whole of anti-trust law.
