When people come to me with this kind of preoccupation I remember them Steve Jobs dropped out of college. Heck, my BIL dropped out of high school and makes twice as much as me as a commercial pilot. The most difficult way to suceed is trying to go the same "proven" path as everybody else. And crying over your privilege instead of putting it into good use doesn't help anybody, either.

Personally, I think that the government vs. industry split becomes rather academic when you are speaking of monopolies, especially monopolies that spy on you. I expect that there's a slow motion merger into a GoogleFacebookMicrosoftApple.gov body with the companies acting as cabinet branches.

Does anyone know a good resource for someone who hasn't done a deep dive on networking in a while, but wants to brush up on the technicals of how DoH works?
If that's the concern, you can run a DNS server on port 443.

DOH also doesn't help much with censorship: If you look at traffic patterns, you can detect and block DOH servers pretty easily: look for small queries to a constant endpoint that come just before new connections.
Show HN: RemoteMore – We connect developers with full-time remote jobs
Agreed. But I do see it as very similar to preloaded/preselected search. We're numb to that feature of browsers and sometimes fail to remember we don't need them. In many regards DNS in the browser gives back control to the end user. As governments and service providers encroach DoH and DoT are leveling the playing field.

Also keep in mind there are different modes DoH in Firefox can operate in. [0] Ultimately I welcome the feature and hope we see more not-for-profit options as defaults in Firefox.

For Minsksy it’s at least statutory rape, not cool at all. For Epstein it’s the whole gamut of messed up stuff, also not cool.

It seems to me that Stallman is saying that qualifying language is valuable as statutory rape in USVI (and most other jurisdictions) has a much smaller penalty than other forms of sexual assault. So using the same word for Epstein and Minsky is not fair, I think, to their victims.

But saying “use more accurate language” is not the same as saying what Minsky is accused of is totally cool.

It's measured peanut flour. This sound like yesterdays $200 sling. I understand the lab setting, and administration should be expensive, but letting a company patent ground up peanuts weighed and in a capsule sounds a bit insane.
Since big tech companies seem to have an advantage over smaller ones (otherwise smaller ones would already be dominating the market), presumably they'd just be replaced by large Chinese equivalents, which wouldn't be broken up as they have much more cooperative relationships with their government. TikTok is already quite popular in the west, proving it's possible. Unless the west tries to ban all Chinese social networks, which would require some kind of national firewall, in which case it'd lose any moral high ground it had over China for China's banning of WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter.
> Yeah but Mythic+ is not the mainstream content most of the players experience in the game.

So, your objection seems to be that players who don't want challenging content are catered to much at all. You don't want those players, who comprise most of the player population, to have "mainstream content".

Viewed in that light, I don't see how your criticism can be viewed as legitimate.
> Alternatives, especially private alternatives readily available to citizens, will increasingly be viewed as the enemy.

Trust is the central component of the monetary system, you must trust the notes and systems used to exchange money. Creating a framework that brings this trust has been a central component since the invention of money[0], thru issuing that money and having the king or whatever passed as authority sign the coins. This is why issuing forged money has also always been such as an important crime - because that was forging the signature of the king/queen/emperor/minister of treasury.

So it's not that surprising to see that guaranteeing that trust and trying to prevent the issuance of alternative currencies is a role that governments attributed themselves in that framework.

One question is whether it actually is their role to say "you should not trust anyone else's signature" - aka your enemy reference

The more important one to me is, accepting this is now a thing, whether they should instead regulate what issuing organizations need to provide as guarantees under that signature.

I personally think so, because I don't trust FB one bit, and I'd love them to be bound to a set of rules

And in the US, the President oauth is on the Bible and "under God" if I remember clearly. So, in a way, it is still the case: how would a Jew or Muslim or Buddhist be able to do that?

Governements are elected to provide services for the good of the nations. That include security: physically (police, army) and economically... so the money is a way for a state to provide security for the trade

Getting arcade-like text effects. Most presentation effects are pretty basic (boring), they generate a text block and then just shove it into place (or dissolve it, or...)

That's true of every security feature. That is security 101. Saying that is prActically saying nothing (worthwhile). And it would be better said alone. Not in context of of tool otherwise people will assume ur bashing that tool as worthless.
Fortunately, some of those things can be faked, er..., simulated. ;-) Actually, it's kind of surprising, because a 50+ year old employee, if they've been in the industry at all, has already been faking those things for two or three decades.
Though this is a blog post, I thought the article was rather amateurish, and does not analyse the matter with the depth and precision required.

I used to like rts while I was younger, but now I find them too gamified, in the sense there is too much of abstract ion. You give a building order and a fully built ship materializes in seconds. Each of your men-at-arms are having the exact same stats, personal lity and skills. Individual units are pea-brained. The number of units are too less to how historical battles actually happened.

Sometime I thought paradox style grand strategy was the answer to these flaws. But playing them now feels like playing cashgrab mobile "waiting games", you essentially set something up and are just waiting most of the time for the clock to tick till the progress bar reaches 100%, that is, it had kind of ended up even more gamified.

Perhaps there is a divergence in player interests, some want simulations with toy soldiers, while others want a competitive experience, and may be there is no easy way to cover both these aspects in a single game.

There is a reason that company isn't based in Europe.
It seems to be relevant in that it describes how the common formation of adjectival phrases in English (from which these new transitive formations discussed in the Language Log are a deviation) is based on adjective + prepositional phrase, and our subject sentence follows that pattern - "entitled" is being used as an adjective, and "to jump pay for the time you spent in training last year" is a prepositional phrase.

You are entitled to jump pay for the time you spent in training last year

You are familiar with this aircraft

Nobody would argue that that second sentence is a 'passive sentence', and it consists - in this analysis - of exactly the same grammatical elements.

But this all just comes down to the fact that 'to be' is a weird verb and it screws with a lot of grammatical assumptions; that the way participial adjectives are used blurs the question of what is the 'verb' in a sentence, and even that the verb 'to entitle' is a strange one in that it is often tricky to pin down what would be the subject of an active sentence using entitle as a verb.

I think we can all agree that it's basically a terrible choice of a sentence if you want to provide a clear example of how to favor the active voice in writing :)
Big tech is a threat to democracy? What a backwards, self-serving hunk of junk. Big tech might be the only way to sustain democracy. Technology gives governments the power to instill a lasting total dictatorship, something completely unprecedented in the history of mankind. Of course they are afraid that big tech takes away from their pie by becoming too powerful and preventing them from setting us up for an eternal dictatorship.

Wake up people. China is the canary in the coal mine. If big tech doesn't step up and provide some sort of a shadow government, pressuring our real government, we are actually really screwed. Going forward, the government NEEDs to be undermined by the private sector, this is the only way to provide a power balance.

C# v5 was released in 2012..
Uber has been doing it for years. The actual plan has a key second step:

1. Sell at discounted prices to grow quickly, capture market share and public image
2. Raise prices to profitability once you have an advantageous position in the market and consumers either love your brand or they have no options to switch to once your prices go up. Alternately for startups, you can sell the business once you have an established position and let someone else worry about profitability, or sell to another big company that wants to kill their competition.

The key in the plan is step 2. However, for MoviePass, there was no way they were going to get to step 2. There was every reason for the theaters to compete with MoviePass instead of making deals with them. Most people only visit one brand of theater (whichever meets the cleanliness/price ratio near their house), and each chain could make their own subscription plan cheaper without cutting a deal with MoviePass. So MoviePass was never going to get to step 2 where they had an advantageous market position, because their one key feature- being able to be used at multiple chains- wasn't compelling. So they cut their subscription to $10/month, which consumers loved, but everyone knew that it wouldn't fix the problem with the business model, and they were basically just giving free movie tickets to consumers with investors money.

I still use an Android phone even though I despise what Google has done for the open internet. Amp, unsemantic HTML5, promulgation of video ads, Chrome monoculture, dropping XMPP and RSS, search ad extortion, tracking, recaptcha, YouTube bad behavior, the app store monopoly / protection racket, etc. They still do great work in many areas, and you can't cut off the nose to spite the face.

You can also argue that an OpenBSD user is not your average user. So I think the default from Firefox makes sense (since most of Firefox users are on Windows and should probably be average users), and the fact that OpenBSD override that default also makes sense.

The moment you open that door you have created the ultimate scapegoat in every corporate decision. Now every engineer is personally responsible for corporate decisions. It's easy when you look at VW and Facebook, but the more nuanced these things get, the more that what your advocating for is that programmers have to be lawyers as well.

This horrible precedent and pushes the blame for everything downstairs. Meanwhile, corporate execs have the very corporate shielding you're advocating that engineers don't. Maybe you think they too shouldn't have such protections, but how you can advocate for personal liability for programmers without first implementing personal liability for executives is beyond me.

This so incredibly short-sighted.
> What a bizarre statement.

Perfectly correct statement.

Also, what the hell is that supposed to mean? If something is inherent to something else, it doesn't mean it's exclusive to it. Maybe something got lost in translation, but if not - they don't even know how to say whatever it is that they want to say.
Well, I’d be way happy if I could spend the next 20 years making what I’m making now (adjusted for inflation) doing what I’m doing now, but it seems like there’s a certain age where your salary expectation is $0 - IF you’re in software.

> Maybe we'd find out who the real greatest programmers are.

I don't think there is such a thing. Certainly there are well-known coders who are terrific. But there are also great coders quietly working away in mundane jobs, doing great work, without any fanfare. And we have a huge variety of work in the industry. A great programmer in one area won't be a great in another. And that isn't even getting into the philosophical discussion of academic coders vs. pragmatic.

At the end of the day, any list of the best coders is going to be built upon opinionated criteria. Maybe instead of discussing an artificial list, just go out and say "Thanks", to any great coders who you work with.

Likely the latter. Do not conflate renumeration or political views with intelligence, curiosity or just street smarts.

All of these forms of intelligence are genetically valid, but phenotype is determined by environment. You may get a great farmer, or you might get a researcher depending on environmental conditions...

So yes, they do matter a lot on outcome. If you haven't found a computer early, there could be a problem of you being outmatched and not proceeding alongside that path.

If he did it would be even more stupid. I think he secretly likes that google listens, for some strange reason. Being spied upon gives some strange sense of being connected, of not being alone, perhaps? Its scary not to be a part of the system. People like having their choices made for them and all that.

Working long hours continuously on something you don't like with people you despise will burn you out. Working on multi-year projects is especially bad.

On the other hand, working long hours for a few months on something you like with people you admire won't burn you out. I was raised on a farm where you worked hard at different things depending on the season, with slack periods between. This was much healthier than engineering.
