> Interrupt-based sampling introduces skids on modern processors. That means that the instruction pointer stored in each sample designates the place where the program was interrupted to process the PMU interrupt, not the place where the counter actually overflows, i.e., where it was at the end of the sampling period. In some case, the distance between those two points may be several dozen instructions or more if there were taken branches.

I think one of the things that GA is doing is actively removing bots visits because they skew country/browser/etc. data. Maybe Matomo is not doing that (so well)?
Another thing is that people blocking GA trackers will also not show up in GA, but will (probably) show up Matomo.
I was once pulled in to consult on a new unix system that was being connected to a bank's mainframe. The operator I was working with, who had worked on mainframes his entire career, hesitated and said he needed to call someone because he couldn't remember the password into the unix system. When they didn't answer, I asked if they wanted to try 'root', or something. They did. It worked. Stunned silence followed. They wanted to know how I knew that. Nobody was supposed to know that.
NGE asked a lot of interesting questions about the nature of reality and humanity’s relationship to itself, but I think it intentionally left the answers up to the audience’s interpretation.

Not a bad way to go, but personally I felt was unsatisfying because I was a bit spoiled in having first seen Gurren Lagann, which I felt was far more concrete about the message it was trying to convey, and definitively answered one of the central questions asked by NGE: when a young person is forced into a desperate life-and-death situation, and comes to believe in the self that believes in them, what happens next?

Even if you have, that's problematic on your part. Just because people look differently doesn't mean they won't be welcoming towards you, that's tribalism at it's finest and needs to stop.

The ones that do feel intimidated/uneasy about it need to work on their own perception of other people and not the other way around. You don't change the mindset of a group because there isn't any, it only exists on paper in your gender studies textbooks. Humans are individuals and everyone has their own mindset regardless of genitalia, skin color, age etc. Thinking otherwise is both disrespectful and racist/sexist/agist.

My experience is that Chromium DevTools are much more polished than Firefox's. For instance, the network tab is a pain to use with FF on a small screen because the columns have a large default width, so the Method column ("GET") is as large as the URL path column. And you can't resize them. Chromium has a better default, and I can resize them. If I view the detail of a request, pressing Esc will close the details view in Chromium, while it will toggle the console in FF. Even with the mouse, at first I struggled to find how to close the details with FF (the toggling icon is not part of the toggled window, it's next to the filter field!).

I challenge you to scroll down his timeline until before the SEC investigation. He was spreading memes way before that ever happened. Also, the SEC investigation was regarding Tesla and him running a public company. SpaceX is not a public company and he doesn't really have a history of tweeting nonsense about SpaceX projects.

Is iCloud really that lucrative? It's $9.99/month for 2TB - that's roughly 1/4 the price you'd pay for that much storage on "normal" S3, for example, or about what you'd pay for S3 glacier storage, not including transfer costs.

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is about the same price as iCloud, but also charges for downloads.

Since Backblaze is profitable (as far as I know?), presumably Apple are making money off iCloud storage, but I'm still not sure if I'd use the word "lucrative" here.

It would be nice to know the priority of blocking elements between firefox default anti-tracker list, ublock origin, and privacy badger.

When I see a tracker hit ublock origin does it mean that it bypassed firefox anti-tracker blocking, or is it the reverse?

Given all that is going on with VPNs, your caution is warranted, but one should also critically examine the claims that are being made.

Proton definitely has an office and subsidiary in Vilnius, it's not a secret because it's on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMz62oHb6K/ The office is inside a 30 storey building, so it is not surprising the address is shared with quite a few other companies. That doesn't mean Proton as a whole is headquartered there, or that the subsidiary somehow controls the parent company in Switzerland, or that there is somehow data mining going on.

Those are the claims that have been clearly debunked. The fact that Proton has a subsidiary in Vilnius, or the fact that we outsourced our HR back in 2016, are not secrets, and is on our Instagram and the Reddit thread linked above. This is the truth, and this is not some wild EU-funded data mining conspiracy as some would have you believe.

"Capitalism" is used as the label for the policy one might more precisely describe as "regulatory minimalism"; the philosophy that opposes minimum wage laws, that opposes collective bargaining by employees, that opposes safety and environmental regulation, that opposes universal health care, etcetera.

This philosophy is associated with the term "capitalism" because its proponents tar any improvement of the social contract, acknowledgement of climate change, or balancing of negotiating power as "socialism/communism"- terms used interchangeably as a boogeyman rather than for any engagable definition, but always pitted as the opposite of "capitalism".

If you read between the lines, it looks like that they still "create advertising profiles" if you're a gsuite user.

Starlink has the potential to provide lower latency around the globe than terrestrial fiber because light travels faster in vacuum than in optical silica fiber.

You have misinterpreted my post. It is an "if-then" statement, not a claim about whatever DDG may currently do.

However, I will say that I don't see a hell of a lot of point in playing more-contrarian-than-thou on this topic.

Contrarianess may feel good and be fun in internet posts, but it's no way to actually make decisions.
They provide MX forwarding for delivery, but we use them because it saves us from having to buy a per user email account with gsuite or outlook.

Ask HN: Starting a worldwide branding company from a small country?
Hi, I'd like to get an advice regarding starting a branding/marketing consulting company

The problem is that I'm from Slovakia and I'd like to work mainly with companies from the US, Britain or Australia. Do you think companies from these countries would even consider hiring a company from Slovakia? There's A TON of them in each of the countries mentioned, so why to hire a company from a country most people don't even know a lot about?

I've worked remotely for multiple early-stage startups from Australia and Britain and I just can't imagine working in Slovakia again. What do you think?
What did you change to?
"to show you ads", what exactly that means is beyond me. They obviously scan your emails, as there are a ton of features that require it, things like recognizing when a flight is upcoming, etc. If you trust them not to use that for advertising I have some valuable beachfront real estate to sell you.

Remember Twitter/FB's 'oops, we were accidentally using the recovery number incorrectly', Google essentially just leaves that door open via the language used in this answer. Without a definition of "for advertising" it's just meaningless.

> you don't choose to get sick and fall into medical debt -- but capitalism underpins the health system that induces that medical debt (which is a major contributor to poverty [0].)

The medical system not a free market. It is a hybrid of a state-controlled system and a capitalistic system. Here are some ways of how the system is state-controlled:

1. Hospitals cannot be freely constructed. One must apply for a "certificate of need" to gain permission from the government to build a hospital. This is not a free market.

2. Credentialism is BAD in our medical system. There is only one group of people approved by the government to do prescribe most medications and perform most surgeries - doctors. This is not a free market and greatly increase costs. Doctors earn a median of 300k/year and are the highest paid profession in every state. This is not a free market.

3. Hospitals are legally forced to treat anyone who shows up at their door - even if they can't afford the treatment. This is not a free market.

4. Medicare/Medicaid are forced to nearly buy any drug, regardless of cost, if it could save a live. Even if a drug is 500k/year, the system is forced to buy it. This is not a free market and greatly increases costs.

It might be clearer if you just called "the current form of capitalism" crony capitalism. It's not free market and that's why I laugh whenever people say that capitalism is failing. Progressives won a long time ago (during the Progressive era) and crafted a massive government, instituted heavy centralized planning, and we're seeing the failure of the centralization of government play out today.

Some of those updates are to catch up to Chrome's developer tools. If I were in charge of Firefox, I would honestly have them hire a developer or two to focus solely on the Developer Tools. I'm sure there's many things that browser developer tools could do that we have not even scratched the surface of. I prefer Firefox overall, only use Chrome due to manager only looking at my work on Chrome (it will be deployed in a WebKit container). The DOM Breakpoint feature is one I found out this week about in Chrome, glad it's now in Firefox.
It seems that it should be feasible to cache more kinds of errors if the request that populated the cache and the subsequent request are identical. These attacks all rely on that not being the case. However, "identity" is a more slippery concept than most might think. Generally it requires putting requests into some canonical form, but defining that canonical form (especially what it excludes) requires making exactly the same kinds of distinctions that were missed to make these attacks possible. It just shifts the problem around, and introduces new potential for breakage. In the end it's no better than just following the darn standard, whose authors probably defined what was cacheable with exactly these concerns in mind.
Is there a good transition path for someone who uses a lot of Google products? In particular, I use Chrome across all my devices, and I depend on the ability to search my history/recent tabs/etc from anywhere. Will Firefox give me the same ability? Is the transition literally just: Install Firefox everywhere and start using it instead?
