No, that's a new Windows laptop that you're wiping and installing Linux on. You can buy laptops nowadays with Linux already installed and completely set up.

> 36 percent of adults view Facebook positively, while 33 percent see it negatively. And Twitter’s rating is 24 percent positive, 27 percent negative.

Am I correct in reading here that more adults view Facebook positively than negatively?

Interestingly, it also shows 68% of respondents agreed with "The federal government should not break these companies up because competition should be left to the free market without government choosing winners and losers", vs only 28% disagreeing, and for all such breakup questions asked there was 59% that totally agree with not breaking up, vs 30% that agree with breaking up. This is a clear majority in favour of not breaking them up, whereas the majority on HN seem to favour breaking thhem up.

This clip from Mr. Robot S02e11 regarding eCoin, substituted with Libra in this case, maps suprisingly well to the hypothetical narrative on the shifting nature of skewed monetary power.

What would provide sufficient base for you to accept that statement?

Because I think there is some basis in that statement, given the many conversations I've had over the last 20 years I've known of free software, and known of people who dealt with Stallman.

>>I can't stand the smell nor taste of them

From what I know it is common to not stand the smell and taste of what you are allergic to. When a child really refuse to eat something it can be an idea to get it tested for allergy, since it unconscious can be because of how their body react to it.
Seems a overblown. For all of the pages of reporting, they only cite two blood test results of kids, and they were both under the 2.5 ug/dL guideline. Many, many children test over this level in the U.S., and in the eighties a large percentage of kids tested over 10.
No, since France and Germany are not businesses, they are governments of two countries.
I can think of ptrace() attach to other processes of the same user outside of the chroot environment and inject arbitrary code.

Apparently some emergency services recommend & use it.
At this point my opinion of Facebook is so low that I'd rather trust the incompetent monetary policy of governments than the competent but positively evil policy of Facebook.

I'm aware that I'm very biased here but the tragedy that is Facebook upsets me all the more for what it could've been. Instead of being a boon to society, they've become the worst form of surveillance capitalism.

I wouldn't trust facebook with handling my garden, let alone a monetary system. They have proven time and time again that they are reckless if not outright malicious and outdo even some incumbent bad guys in the sheer underhanded disregard for anything but their own bottom line.

i think DoH is DNS wireformat via http over TLS whereas DNS over TLS is the plain wireformat over TLS.

EDIT: so for DoH you would need to speak HTTP but for DNS over TLS you only need to wrap TLS around for example by using stunnel or something.

The pressure on Lenovo, Google et al will never be sufficient to force them to change if people don't retaliate forcefully enough.

I primarily responded because I disagree with your opinion:

> The views of people on Hackernews don't seem very representative of those of the general population, maybe because hating on Facebook is an excellent excuse for people to feel superior to the general population.

I agree with the part that HN isn't representative of the general population. But I don't think the reason for disagreeing is because we on HN want to feel superior to everyone else (maybe some people do, but I don't think most people here actually think that way..).

The data from the poll shows that a negative opinion of Facebook is not particularly uncommon. It might not be the majority opinion, but it's also not an uncommon opinion among the general public.

Don't know about friendship, but there's certainly a point of contention in that the US has allowed breeding the monopolies we have, without any action whatsoever by US antitrust enforcement (eg Fb/Whatsapp and Google/DoubleClick acquisition). It stands to reason that the EU must take action here in order to protect the common market. Another upcoming conflict is EU's underfinanced banks becoming easy targets after years of Draghi zero-interest ECB policies.

Yeah, Apple's service is abysmal. The University Village Apple Store in Seattle wanted to hold onto my macbook air for a week to replace the battery because they didn't have one in stock.

Sorry if I'm dense, but that would mean that the two protocols _are_ the same except for port number for practical purposes right? I mean there's no reason why the same actions could be taken when running straight wireformat vs over http right?

edit: In response to your edit :)

So is the main objection to this that it breaks traditional layering then? E.g. here's a post in a thread that I found a bit helpful:

(The rest of the thread is interesting as well.)

I guess one downside with DoH is that now there's a larger incentive to break through your https in general?

Running one's own sounds like the only one that would increase your privacy more than cloudflare... but I worry if I slip up and don't keep patches etc up to date a private dns server could be more harmful. Probably better to leave such things to professionals.
Ive never found linking to take more than 5 seconds with the standard linker which, but lld exists and its super fast in my experience. But i guess its only needed whon working on huge c++ like firefox or sth. like that.

«Yeah, very confusing statement - would they use this same logic to ban Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?»

No, and that's the great point everyone is missing. Paraphrasing their logic: "it is inherent to the sovereignty of nations that no private entity can claim monetary power". In other words, they don't want private entities to control monetary power, but they tolerate this power being in the hands of "public" entities, such as the peer-to-peer/decentralized nature of many cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

This we-will-block-Libra attitude combined with we-will-torelate-Bitcoin-and-others is a big sign of approval for these cryptocurrencies.
Kevin Anderson often stresses out this point.

In a similar vein, not all units cost the same to compile -- even with many jobs in a make -j situation, toward the end of the build there may be only a few units still in progress. These lengthy 'stragglers' might benefit the most from this parallelism and consequently reduce total compile time. Quite looking forward to this project landing in a stable release.

On the topic of linking-- can you sub in the gold linker for faster linking in your projects?
No. The file handle is created after the initial chroot. Then the process chroot again! By fchdir to the file handle, the new AND original chroot are defeated, and a follow up chdir to ../../.. will go to real root.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. If a user isn't an idiot blindly following fashion (we know there are plenty who use Apple for "the looks" only). If they are a user who really loves Apple, it's really about the ease and smoothness of the services/ecosystem. The hardware can be crap priced twice as high as it should be at times, but the services are smooth and those who like them love them. I'm not a fan, but this is what I observe in the long-time Apple fans I know.
I'm just saying we need to figure out how to change the lobbying process to not allow these big players (e.g. conglomerates) to influence the political process so much. However, I do agree with you that our country has descended into tribalism not seen before, which undoubtedly helps the folks who want to undermine our democratic process.
> without also impacting a lot of other companies and people doing similar things because the law should apply equally to all.

Other blockchains have not been blocked outright because they don't pose a threat and are developing slowly, so EU countries are working towards more or less sensible regulations. Facebook has far more power to drive adoption, so in order to avoid a situation where Facebook screws up (intentionally or unintentionally) they block the currency preemptively.

> quite a lot of EU citizens own and actively trade in bitcoin, eth, and a wide variety of other coins already

Relatively, not that many. Also, those currencies are being mostly used as investments, not currency.

> Why would a Libra coin be any different just because Facebook is behind it?

Precisely because Facebook is behind it: a foreign company, known to bypass and ignore regulations, with interests that do not necessarily align with those of the citizens, and with zero accountability.

> startups doing things with block chains and smart contract.

As long as it is not a global currency owned by private corporations it's ok.

> This would make it more similar to what e.g. Apple Pay and Android Pay enable

A different coin is very different from Apple and Android Pay. Payment systems are very different from coins.
Really driven working class people get out of the working class (basically by definition), don't they?

They either start their own company/contracting, become highly specialized professionals, or get a degree and take some boring white collar job that pays better.

Managing finances is just a gimmick when you have zero disposable income. That's basically 24/7/365 crisis management.

Sure, if you manage to get some savings/credit-score together it's very important what you spend it on. (Eg classes/moving or finally doing that trip to Vegas you always dreamed about.) But if you can't increase your income significantly, then investing or spending it makes no difference. (Because investing it is just continuing the saving, for whatever purpose, let's say to have a rainy day fund, or medical emergency fund, amd spending it just decreases the years you spent saving up, but your overall lifetime income will not change much, thus your range of possibilities won't either.)

Are you talking about adding mTLS between cloudflare and the origin?

If the origin doesn’t check CloudFlare’s TLS cert, an invalid cert wouldn’t block a scanner like this.
Yes, but if you are not overworked then you can use that time to take care of the children. Also, for some reason people don't use help of grandparents as often anymore.

Like they say: you're not your job, or: you're not your code, maybe we should say: you're not your children. They are important, but not everything.
This is blatantly illegal and if you really wanted to you could win a lawsuit against them (there are many reasons not to start legal action, but you could). I worked for a large game studio and we had a mandatory training session about protected classes because of things like this.

I’m bothered that medical research has seen influence by the MBAs. Ie. we don’t research looking for cures anymore because then you’ll only sell the drug once. Instead research management therapy so that you can have lifelong customers that need your product (pill) daily for the rest of their life.
While wanting to be concise your problem statement above is all over the place and full of digressions. More importantly, being concise and generating excitement are two different things (and can even be orthogonal: you can have an exciting slogan that's not clear, for example "Think different").

Note that this paragraph is almost unparseable: "The second part, I'm trying to show there is a real value but again, it sounds like marketing buzz. In reality though, it IS low cost, since I am the only developer use software design aspects like procedural generation and low cost assets. The training value is higher because i'm building what I'd want to use to train because I know it will make me better (versus a powerpoint)".

I kind of get what you say. In a convoluted way, you say that you've used cheaper assets and techniques like procedural generation to keep the costs down.

You also assert that your training program is good value because you've built it to scratch your own itch, based on your idea of what would make a great training program. Note that these hardly assure us that your product is indeed good value (building "what you want to use" is not a guarantee that the result will be good, or that customers would derive value from it).

While your product might be great, and you could be an excellent programmer/founder, perhaps conciseness / marketing / product branding are not your thing, and you should delegate that part to a specialist.

In any case, here are my attempts:

The "VR simulations for First Responders" part is concise and fine as it is. You don't need a two-dollar word like "focused" though. Keep it simple:

"VR simulations for First Responders. Low-cost high-value training!"

or:

"VR simulations for First Responders. Low-cost training for high-value results!"

For the other motto: "VR Simulations for First Responders, specializing in experience gained".

How about:

"VR Simulations for First Responders. Experience without the hassle!"

"VR Simulations for First Responders. Experience distilled!"

"VR Simulations for First Responders. Instant experience!".

"VR Simulations for First Responders. We teach experience!"

"VR Simulations for First Responders. Gain years of experience in two weeks!"

Maybe something in that vein?
This reminds me of a certain line of discussion about WWI. The leaders of the countries involved looked to the last war for clues on how to fight the next one. Except in the case of WWI, mechanization and the fruits of the industrial revolution had transformed the way war could be and ultimately was fought. The result was catastrophic.

It seems that we may be seeing a similar transformation with weaponized robots. Not just planes, but ships, tanks, trucks, and even submarines.

The US is leading the way here, with its ongoing, active drone warfare program:

https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/

But unlike nuclear weapons, the barrier to entering the drone club is much lower. Poor countries and even non-state entities can play.

The strike against Saudi Arabia also hints at the enormous leverage possible when automated warriors are used with the goal of economic strangulation.

As such, this attack may be a preview of a world in which automated killing machines rework power relationships between countries rather suddenly.
Not very realistic for people who need to put food on the table and where the evil vs non evil is not that clear. Especially if you work on a very small cog in the machine, which most engineers do ofcourse.

Where do you draw the line? Maybe your company makes software that is nice but it is sold to companies using it for evil? I think this is too vague and not solvable by engineers unless in clear cut cases like you mention; not many of those really.

There are not infinite jobs either; most companies will, at some stage, do things that you might consider evil.

It is generally management that should be blamed; they have the oversight and make decisions about client base etc. In rare cases where an engineer knew they were wrong very clearly but still did it, then sure, punishment is ok.

Edit; I see you are from Eindhoven; I was born close to there and studied at the TUE under Dijkstra pupils. We had a little group at the time that believed in Dijkstra like thinking; software has to be proven correct and we added that it has to be ethical. It was an idea to somehow make software dev a gild. Then we grew up and saw nothing like that is possible unless you want the world to grind to a halt. The Netherlands would be a likely candidate for this kind of experiment though; you cannot really die of poverty there unless mentally ill, so it is easier to ‘just quit’ if you think your boss went satan on you.
They claim to provide jobs, like any business. As for Libra, it's close to competition with "money," and they are restraining Libra from competing in the money business that the two countries are engaged in.
