When you start going down this line of arguments, then you also have to take into account the abuse of return policies, ordering and wearing clothes once before returning them, ordering several similar items while intending to only keep the one you like the most, and that sort of thing. Also Amazon could easily add - in case it does not already exist - a policy to its terms and conditions that explicitly states that orders can be canceled in case of errors, at least as far as laws allow such policies. But there are certainly already some policies targeting fraudulent orders and whatnot.

Rust is unpleasant to look at. I know its silly, but that my biggest gripe with it as well, aside from sometimes overly complex type signatures due to generics. As a reference, I consider Python and Kotlin to be a e s t e t i c.
> I would probably experiment with exceptions if I were making this language.

Hard disagree. Rust made conscious design decisions (i.e. limiting type inference) to enable local reasoning, and exceptions are non-local.
I thought the point of code is to make it more difficult for the non-initiate to read it...

Actually, I think a good, justly polymorphic function should probably have a word of a reasonable length and parameters that are called `a`, `x`, `f`, since the parameters convey almost no information. If they have any greater length, it's just a restatement of the known information about the type.

The more unique information a name conveys, the less information the types convey and the bigger a chance you have of bugs or coding yourself into a hole.

But also, if you've called it `x` hopefully there's only one thing it can be and its scope is just one or two lines so you've written a single unit. If there's anything else `x` could be, then you've got a problem - your unit is too much.

Not every piece of code should be written this way, but your vocabulary should be built up of pieces like this.
OP said "corporate". A person and a company are two separate things (even though they get problematically conflated in the concept of "corporation").

Calling citizenship outdated is a fashionable idea for the class of people who can cherry pick their prefered work-, investment- and tax environment.

In the old days an individual would have some sort of responsibility towards the community, including the effect of house ownership as described by OP. Another outdated concept?

Yeah, I don't have any problem paying $60 for a game. I haven't paid that much in a long time though, since the vast majority of games I'm interested in are far less than that even when not on sale.

And if you take inflation into account, we used to pay $60 for NES games, which would be closer to $130 today.

Context: There are about 2^33 people on earth, so it takes roughly 33 bits of information to identify a single person.

(In practice, it's probably slightly more bits because not all bits carry unique information.)
"as it is in many cases now due to https"

That's not exactly true. Referrer is only hidden if it's explicitly asked by using a meta tag:

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />

Or by using Referrer-Policy:

Referrer-Policy: no-referrer

The default behavior is no-referrer-when-downgrade. This means that referrers from https to http are hidden. But https > https is still visible. And with https adaption reaching saturation, referer headers are usually still sent.

Some people feel at home with APL (A Programming Language) or its descendants. It was first developed by Ken Iverson as a notation to be used on paper for communicating procedures and algorithms. It was the subject of a book published in 1962, then became a programming language running on IBM mainframes in 1966.

The following line of code produces all the prime numbers below the value R.

It should be noted that the so-called "cookie law" is about more than just cookies. It's about all user data and who can access it and for what reason.

If this more tightly controls who user data is given to then that is a big improvement. If it's just trying to find technical loopholes in the law... well EU law tends to take a dim view of that.

I think '100% uptime' is pretty much shorthand for "absolutely no reason to turn the machine off or stop services on them running, ever".

As the above link mentions, everything is redundant. CPUs running in (near) lockstep - voting bad cpus out, redundant storage, power etc etc etc.

I've not seen a better write up on IBM's equivalent systems - but I've not had a reason to play with such big iron. NSKs however were much more affordable, and were used in the late 90s/early 2000s in various telcos etc.

Apparently the motivation for the attack was that "KyoAni has stolen something from the attacker", unconfirmed reports that the something in question was a Light Novel the attacker wrote but got rejected by KyoAni, which apparently then got turned into an original work by the studio (possibly stealing here and there from the LN or anyhow drawing inspiration from it) without crediting the attacker or compensating him.
I can see this happening in all honesty, I am sure that editors get to read a lot of stuff from applicants which can then be polished to produce something in-house, kind of like when bigger companies fish for start-ups tech to reimplement it in-house.

Anyhow, the article doesn't mention it but I just though I would write this down in case anyone was curious about the potential motivation.
A similar line of argumentation has been historically used to push every outrageous thing on innocent people since forever. You sell the "abuse" as defense for a shocking crime. Ok, you only said DDoS when the usual is terrorism and child abuse. But the bottom line is the same: I need to take something private from you to defend myself.

Except a $10/month Netflix subscription is not a lease, it's a prepaid service. They all state very clearly that if, and when, someone doesn't pay those services are no longer rendered.

The gym memberships could be different if the contract is setup to give you your first month free when you sign up for six. But even then most give you some guarantee such as "if you're not satisfied". I think your point is that this type of service creates a cat and mouse game with which there is only a temporary winner.

What I do like about this new "trend" is the abstraction of the end user. Netflix doesn't need to know who I am. If I pay I should be able to consume service. I realize this opens the door to more potential fraud for them, but the reality is the people commiting that fraud today are already using fake names, addresses and email. And if services don't have real information and single use card information when they get breached the value of each record is significantly less. So at the end of the day the inconsequential side effect seems to be a win from a breach cost standpoint.

>"Anonymity in real life is much different than anonymity in the lab, and most people are content to be “one in a million” even if they cannot be “one in 6.7 billion.” In any data set, highly unique individuals (i.e. the outliers) may stand out, much like today’s celebrities do not enjoy the same level of anonymity as the average citizen. However, the fact that some individuals may be identified in a particular data set does not mean that any (or all) individuals may be identified in the data set."

Or better work at AVL for a few years. Their large distributed system is real-time, and on failures people might die. Esp. in the Formula 1 dptmt, where everything is 10x faster and larger with much more sensors.

On normal complicated control systems, such as in an airplane, you do have plenty of time to complete your task in the given timeframe, but in F1 there's not much time left, and you have to optimize everything, HW, protocols and SW.
Much harder than in gaming or at scale at Google/Facebook/Amazon.

Eg you have to convert your database rows from write-optimized to read-optimized on demand. A simple fast database cannot do both fast enough.
A normal firewire protocol is not fast enough, you have split it up into trees. A normal CAN protocol ditto, you have to multiplex it. You have to load logic into the sensors to compress the data and filter it out, to help transmitting the huge amount of data.
If you buy a subscription you have that subscription until you cancel it. It wasn’t “renewed”, they just charged you the yearly cost.
Imagine if your gym membership was forced to ask you every month if you still want the subscription and would have to cancel it if you didn’t respond.

That said, if you want to now cancel it get in touch with their costumer service they’ll likely help you.

Facebook collects phone numbers of random people, if a FB user uploads their contact list.

Facebook collects data in shadow profiles.

Facebook collects login credentials for email accounts.

Facebook asks for phone numbers for "two-factor authentication" and then uses it in different ways.

Similar for Google. Most default options are enabled if you set up an Android phone (and these options and settings track you). Opt-in? Off by default? Nothing. Just to name one example.

Dark patterns to give consent everywhere, like buttons suggesting that opt-in is the only way to do it and so on.

All of this is kinda known, and illegal under GDPR. Consequences so far? None.
I will fully admit that I have only the faintest idea of how modern multiplayer games work, but I agree from my understanding that the old business model of selling a complete game once seems ill suited to that style of game.

(Although, counterexample: Mojang made a fortune out of selling Minecraft, a complete multiplayer game, where you host your own servers, with no paid DLC or hidden catches, but then later came out with the Realms thing where they had optional paid server infrastructure. That's a thing you can do. Not sure how it panned out.)

That being said, my point was that there are still plenty of companies, such as Nintendo, successfully operating in the traditional way without facing much hostility for daring to sell a complete, polished, mostly bug-free product for money.

Therefore I think it is inaccurate to state that "every way to monetize a game will be interpreted with hostility" like the grandparent did.

the police was never about protecting the citizens. Its is about policing the citizens. The thieves are made an example of, to discourage general petty crimes. Big flashy crimes are sometimes worked on to make a show of force, and to keep up appearances.

Individuals will not get any protection from the police. Therefore, take your own protection into your own hands. Alarms, and strong doors and windows, good locks. Don't store too much valuables, and keep a security camera visible to deter would-be thieves. If you can, fire-arms are also needed. I know many here are against guns, but i do believe they have uses, and self-protection is one of them.
Ask HN: Advice for Working in a Flat Org?
I just started a new job as a senior developer in a flat organization. I’m about four weeks in and I’m struggling a lot on a daily basis.

The company is very “flat”, in that we don’t have a direct manager we report to. Instead, we get to choose what we want to work on and people volunteer to join projects. The problem is, I don’t know enough about the product or company culture yet to really navigate this confidently, and I’ve already gotten scolded for picking things that aren’t high priority to work on.

I’m confused and my lack of productivity has been making me feel depressed. I feel like at any moment I’m going to get fired for just not “getting it”.

Am I missing something about flat organizations? Maybe it’s the anxiety, but I just can’t understand why I’m failing here. I was a very successful senior dev at my last job.

How does one navigate a flat org?

Could Firefox's containers be extended, and include an option to resist fingerprinting?

This would limit the information sent by the browser (maybe run everything in a lightweight VM with standardized performance, feature and settings), including the referrer used to open the containerized tab (which might be done already).

The VM sounds complicated, but we already have qemu running in browsers. Reduce the timing granularity, randomize I/O slots, and lie about the RTC, and fingerprinting becomes much harder, unless I am missing something?

Side note: I am against fingerprinting me across websites as an individual, but I am perfectly OK with fingerprinting me about my interests, provided everything is done in a stateless manner: if I spent more time on the technical section, which 80% people skimmed over, maybe offer me more technical articles at the bottom?

But please, do not keep information about me. Tracking would be illegal under the GDPR provisions anyway, AFAIK, cookies or not.
You sell the "abuse" as defense for a shocking crime.

This works the other way around too. You use the abuse of non-personally identifiable information (by combining it with other data points, illegal without consent in the EU) to take useful data away from innocent webmasters.
It means just that it makes no sense to answer that question based on human morals ... doesn't mean the answer is set in stone.

It specifically doesn't mean that one non-human entity should be treated the same as all other non-human entities.

For instance an argument could be made that it can be moral to cheat the State, but not Society. It's not an argument I want to discuss now, but the point is, you can use ethics and come to different conclusions about entities that are not human beings ...

Honestly, I don't see any intrinsic problems with Rust's syntax that makes it unusually ugly.

Rather, I think the problem is that the syntax is 100% fine in isolation, but has some issues when taken together with experience in other languages — when you skim the code, some parts of it beg to be looked at like C++, while other parts push you to read it like a functional language. Unsurprisingly, neither fully works, which makes the experience jarring. Once you accept that Rust is its own language with its own rules and stop trying to borrow (hah!) from your experience with other languages, it feels much better.
This is common usage in non-US English to refer to companies.

It's kind of nice, actually - "are" helps remind us that Facebook are a company composed of many people. Using "is" makes it seem more abstract.
>I wonder if there is any way for open source communities to effectively promote the "take a step back and remember what really matters in life" approach to conflict resolution.

We've spent decades debating on the merits of spaces vs tabs, and Vim vs Emacs, and a ton of other completely pointless stuff.

What you're hoping is just a pipe dream, people will get invested in the most petty and asinine stuff out there, and take it as a personal insult if you disagree.

> There is a bit of a conflict in the mechanics of democracy with zoning laws and taxes

There’s really not. All extant democracies recognize private property, with certain limits for the public interest. Zoning is an extreme imposition on private property rights, of a sort that ordinarily would only be consciences in light of equally compelling public interests. Unfortunately, we had a few bad Supreme Court decisions at the height of white panic about desegregation that normalized such impositions. You’d hesitate greatly before taxing someone half the value of their property, but local governments think nothing of eliminating half the value (or more) of private property through zoning or historical preservation ordinances.

A “really high-capacity x86 machine” is really just a machine with a lot of CPUs and memory. It is not a machine that can feed each one of those CPUs, or DMA to each one of those memories, from separate network or disk IO sources, all at once. Basically, there’s only one PCI-e bus, and it’s a bottleneck. That’s why, for IO-intensive operations like search indexing, you don’t scale x86 vertically, but rather horizontally, with map-reduce strategies: you need each core and each DIMM of memory to have a commensurate IO bandwidth available to it. And that’s also why a 64-vCPU VM on shared hosting will always underperform a 64-core dedicated instance from the same provider: with the dedicated single-tenant host machine, you’re not fighting over an “oversubscribed” PCI-e bus.

Mainframes are built differently, such that each CPU and NUMA zone of memory has its own (virtual) private bus to its own (dynamically) dedicated IO peripherals—it’s like a little circuit-switched network with CPUs “placing calls” to peripherals. And, because of this, mainframes do let you just scale your problem vertically, without IO bandwidth limitations ever getting in the way. They function less like like one computer, and more like a Mosix cluster that all happens to be running on a common backplane. But, unlike Mosix and its ilk, the DC only sees one SNMP node with one set of traps, and the whole thing provides hotswap robustness against itself rather than that robustness being partitioned per machine.
