> There is no such thing as a USB-C hub.

I didn't believe you, then I went and checked.

https://www.cnet.com/news/usb-4-will-resurrect-those-useful-...

Apparently all the hubs that have multiple USB-C ports are running USB 2 over them, or you can just use them for power delivery.

I am suddenly very happy that none of my other devices except for my USB-C hub, actually uses USB-C, I'd be limited to the ports that came on the computer!

Thunderbolt docks can do it, they just run multiple USB controllers on board, one for each port, but indeed, it USB-C 3.1 as it stands today doesn't support hubs.
Maybe trashy is the wrong word, but rather "low-effort" or "repetitive".

A whole lot of news articles are just regurgitated Reuters or AP. There's nothing wrong with that and it is a valuable service. But I am completely indifferent to these sites existence.

The sites that I would really care about if they went under, like HN, Wikipedia, NYT, etc, either use subscriptions or are donation funded. HN has job ads but they are super low key.
I don't really follow the argument you're making here or how it connects to 'js2's original argument, but I'll make the obvious observation that there are extraordinarily difficult jobs that don't tend to pay well (professional classical musicians, for example), and easy jobs that pay better than the mean (garbage collectors).

Not sure what you mean here. I can't recall cases of people being prosecuted for not ratting on people. And the first amendment protects you from being required to make statements. The only exception to that which I can think of is when you are in court and you are under oath and required to testify unless there is a fifth amendment issue. Other than that, you can always refuse to talk to them in any scenario. And the other exception there is you are required to provide your name and basic identification if being detained. But that isn't ratting anyone out. So refusing to testify is the only one I can think of. Is that what you are referring to?
I've never installed purism's version of linux, and they seem to work - I recall the camera/microphone disappear from the usb bus, shown in syslog. I don't remember what happened with the wifi/bt as I leave them off.

I could go check this behavior.

I haven't tried freebsd - could it be freebsd doesn't check for a hotplug?
I was completely unaware of this feature, and blissfully saved by it when building a computer for a family member. It's a killer feature.
Linux would be a tiny drop in the bucket relative to the rest of GitHub. I wonder if they'll mark certain parts of the archive as more important or interesting.
Sure - just let me take a fork first...
I guess this is more a rhetorical question as taking pictures with a back facing camera is an extreme^10 edge case while doing video calls with the FaceTime camera for most users is a daily or at least weekly occurrence.
Rootless support has been in BuildKit since 2018. I feel like all of the tools RedHat rebuilt, that didn't really offer anything new and in a lot of cases offered a whole lot less, is centric to very diehard RedHat oriented folks. If anything we should hope that all of the Docker bits stay where they are because I surely trust RedHat far less under IBMs leadership.

And, no. Podman doesn't offer any advantages in the Kubernetes ecosystem by mapping better into k8s "models".

The Microsoft antitrust case was a long time ago and AFAIK they stopped the licensing shenanigans. Since then macOS has increased share significantly and Linux has gained almost nothing.

That sounds like overkill but IANAL. You should only need to post the disclosures before the info is collected, where the info is collected.

Perhaps whiteness is irrelevant, perhaps not. Socioeconomic background was controlled for the fact that the participants were from the middle class. Whether that's inherent to the US population due to the fact that it's a big part of it, or not is irrelevant. Unless I've missed your point?
Maybe not logic board failure specifically, but I see the possibility of my laptop dying as much more likely than it getting lost or stolen. And it's usually possible to extract a working SSD out of a dead laptop.

I suppose you could also repair the computer if the full logic board hasn't died, but that may not be worth it if the laptop was purchased a while ago, especially given how unrepairable these devices are. And depending on how Apple decides to go about the repair, they may end up not retaining your anyway, even if they could have.
Early programming was viewed as "women's work" because of the similarity between between the work and sewing [1]. I don't think it was quite 80:20 women:men in 1965, but it was certainly higher than 20:80.

Thank you for the correction; is this a recent development? I'll definitely give DDG another try, especially in light of rapnie's comment about StartPage's recent acquisition by a company with a very likely conflict of interest.
This just isn't true though. Or at least I don't see where you're coming from. You might see ads as intrusive, or getting you to spend money on something you don't want to spend money on... but that's not how many advertisers see ads. Ideally, they would only be at your attention when you want them there. If I'm looking to buy a washing machine, and I don't know where to start, advertising is one of the primary ways I get introduced to the options out there.

Furthermore, ads have driven most major media from newspapers to radio to tv... and what has made them so financially accessible to most people. Maybe you can afford to pay money to every single patreon out there, but not everyone can. And imagining a world where everyone uses an ad-blocker and advertising dies means that every content creator is just going to put up a paywall, which means information will be exclusively restricted to people with money. That sounds like a fantastic future.

Frankly the notion that advertising is objectively bad, or good, for that matter is reductive. You might say certain practices are good or bad, and certainly the ones we are seeing online right now are not good, but that seems to me the problem Brave is trying to solve - building an ad model for the web that actually works.
Can we use diamonds to replace silicon in semiconductors? Wouldn't it be a better material for wafers in order to achieve >10GHz frequencies?
Just to be clear, I don't think Apple should put a back facing camera into their laptops. However, they should consider updating the FaceTime camera as it is regularly used by most people.
>Downvoting is toxic

Can you elaborate? It's difficult to agree or disagree since I can't tell what you have in mind. What does 'Toxic' mean to you in this context?
(employee here) We do take security very seriously and have been able to deliver a 24 hour turn-around when there are Chromium updates (like the recent zero-day bugs which were patched in C78). We also have a bounty program open via hackerone that we take seriously which has helped us improve: https://hackerone.com/brave

Strange that /mobile is a landing page for the mobile app, but /desktop is the desktop org, and desktop.github.com is the landing page.

I guess that means no one can make an org called "mobile" (pretty ok with this), but does it also mean this won't be open source?
They even made it super simple to remap caps-lock to escape in OSX Sierra (the release of which, probably coincided with the release of the first Touch Bar MacBook Pro). You can do it from System Preferences, without any extra software like Karabiner. Although, I still use Karabiner Elements for some more complex keyboard remapping.
They probably don't work interchangeably in scenarios where the physical characteristics of the milk is a linchpin of the recipe. Baking in general requires precise temperature control and ingredient control (eg. cake, pastry, and bread flour types), whereas adding milk is more of a flavoring that doesn't impact the resulting drink at much (your coffee won't be a chewy inedible mess if you put a different kind of milk).

Good, then, that nobody has said, or even implied, that.
NodeBB is one of the better engineered forums. The code is a pleasure to read. It's very modular -- makes uses of Node emitters frequently to implement plugin modules via PubSub.

Inertia is far from a feature when it comes to our biggest problems today, particularly climate change. This is going to cause a lot of damage, it already has.
> To say Apple has lost its way would be an understatement. Apple is actively detrimenting those who have stayed in its ecosystem for decades.

Like they did with the transition from SCSI/ADB to USB, or the transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, or the transition from PPC to Intel, or the transition from 30 pin to lightning, or...

Apple may or may not have lost its way, but dropping support for old software/hardware is something they've been doing consistently for a long time. There's nothing new about it.
After 4yrs of using USB-C I don't have any USB-A stuff besides a single microsd card reader for an DSLR camera. Otherwise I have no use for a USB-A.

If I did I have two tiny adapters in my drawer... my office has a few of them if anyone needs them but I've never seen them used there either.
Cool! I'm really curious about what you're up to since I'm doing something similar. Mine's up at https://www.onlyvetted.com/

USB-A right now:

1. My keyboard

2. My mouse

3. My webcam

4. My headset

5. My BT Dongle (which my BT headset won't actually pair with, thus #4)

6. Wi-Fi adapter

7. Xbox 360 controller

Now that is my desktop, my laptop is USB-C, with a dock plugged into the port. Said dock only has 2 USB devices plugged in, wireless adapter for my Mouse/Keyboard, and my headset.

None of this counts the many USB-A charging cables. I have USB-A to Lightning, USB-A to Micro, and USB-A to USB-C, all currently in use. I also have a single USB-C to USB-C adapter.
This was a revelation when I discovered it earlier this year. I could never go back now, it’s so convenient.
Also why no (or almost no) female model railroad hobbyists? I think there's a male aspergers thing going on.. same reason you'll see men programming for fun, but not so many women.
Right. And when you force a model to avoid disparities when disparities really do exist, the outcome is inaccurate data and the consequence is that decisions are made based on inaccurate data.
I remember when the anti-glare was the default and you had to pay a few quid more for the glossy.

Then they changed so the default was glossy and anti-glare was more expensive (but, IIRC, had more resolution).

The retina display is the first one I remember where the anti-glare option was not available.

How did he do this?

“ So, to make things painfully clear: Bill Gates made it so that his company would tax every computer sold no matter whether it ran Windows or not. If a manufacturer wanted to sell computers running Windows, all the computers it sold were taxed by Microsoft. He would get paid for the work a Linux distribution was doing, and the Linux distribution would not get that money.”
No, in making provisions for the advertising industry in their business model, they are aiding its survival. I will always recommend a proper adblocker over this.

Their screenshot shows an "autorenew" enabled on a $0 free trial with zero information on how much it will cost after the free trial is up.

You shouldn't allow people to sign up to "autorenew" at the end of their free trial period without clearly displaying the price that will apply when the trial ends.
In the US at least, we are relatively cut off from our immediate past. It is easier to tell people that it is a tradition and we will believe them.
You're right about where you want to be, because a lot of managers think like you do.

But if a person cost money and provided no value a rational company would fire them. Either almost every company is insanely dumb or you need the employees not directly bringing in wads of cash to support the ones that don't.

This isn't an original idea of mine, if you want to see discussion of the issue Google "cost centers and profit centers", the technical terms for those sides.

To provide a totally trivial example suppose your business is going to people handing out free money, taking the money, and putting it in the bank. Suppose different people in different locations hand out different amounts of money. Suppose you have a data scientist who predicts the optimal route for your money getters to travel. This person is a cost center, and firing them would be dumb. Now suppose you have a caterer who makes sure they don't need to leave for lunch...

Edit: Looking at your last paragraph again I think you might possibly agree with me? I'm not sure if that quote is sarcastic...
This is an interesting observation that deserves to be addressed.

I think in practice, what happens is that there's no easy transactional boundary that can keep the data ownership and ML in separate firms. The theory of the firm [1] states that firms arise when transaction costs are less than the economic inefficiencies of centralized resource allocation. There are some pretty heavy transaction costs between doing data cleaning and data science in separate organizations:

1.) DRM for datasets isn't really a thing, since to explore, visualize, and train on them, you need access to the raw data, and then instead of your machine-learning function you can just pass the identity function to get the raw data. DRM for consumers always relies on a publisher whose incentive is to stay in business (by not breaking any laws) rather than to obtain the raw data.

2.) You don't know whether a cleaned data set will be useful for your ML application until you've inspected it, visualized it, run some statistics over it, etc. at which point you've done most of the work for setting up your models. That means there's a big risk premium for buying data, and potential buyers usually want samples & statistics before committing a lot of money.

3.) At the price that good datasets go for, you're usually dealing with enterprise sales, which involves commissioned salespeople, face-to-face meetings, expensive dinners out, etc.

4.) The type of labeling you need to do is often intimately connected with the usage of the ML model. What constitutes spam? What constitutes abuse? These are questions for your policy team, which the data-collection organization would have no visibility into and no way to set up a one-size-fits-all policy that all potential customers would be okay with.

5.) Software markets tend to be winner-take-all, which means you're dealing with a handful of customers, and one will likely become dominant and able to acquire you.

Instead of separate firms for data ownership, ML, and user interface, usually the service that makes the final product will end up collecting or buying the data outright, hire data-scientists to do the ML, and then offer a product. The end result, economically, is what you say: the money is in data hoarding. But it isn't apparent in prices of a sustainable customer ecosystem, it's apparent in acquisition prices for startups with data vs. salaries of data scientists.

I've given up on wireless mice and have gone back to wired. It feels futuristic! Just plug it in and it works immediately! No pairing, no charging, no dongles, and it's lighter.
I wonder if they fixed the trackpad? The previous trackpad's palm rejection never worked properly.

It always surprised me how broken the palm rejection was on the recent MacBook Pro since previous models (2012-2015) running the same macOS version had no such issues; moreover, palm rejection also works fine on the iPad and iPhone.

What would be the coverage area and audience of this software-engineer-staffed news organization?

edit: to elaborate on my question, when you imply that, unlike journalists, a room full of software engineers could write "production ready code in under a month" – what are you talking about, exactly? Because most readers of HN are well aware of tech firms pouring venture money into rooms full of software engineers and producing production code that is as ephemeral and lasting value as any blog.
Stellar also supports the creation of stablecoins [1], which tend to have a consistent price relative to some other asset (Often USD).

The way stellar works is pretty smart, if I have some currency on the stellar network and you only accept some other currency, it automatically looks for people willing to exchange them to find you a good rate. So even if few people use your favorite stablecoin you can still accept payments in it.

It seems to me like someone with few points is least likely to understand a solution to a duplicate of their problem.. I don't really see the harm in linking it and still letting people answer or comment on the proxied solution.

SE spends half the time saying an overlapping diversity makes it easy to find a question and answer that fits and the other half eliminating that diversity (and bringing non-adept people to dead ends in their searches that land on SO.)
As a consumer of a paid dataset, how would I trust that the vendor is publishing accurate and complete data?
For my own sake I'd add to that list that they should make disclose every 3rd party site they'll need to load scripts from or at the very least include those early in the process. I'm not allowing JavaScript to run from anywhere if it isn't 100% necessary for exactly what I want to accomplish. Filling out a form only to have it fail because suddenly the website wants to run code from another domain is annoying, and each allow/refresh is an opportunity for badly designed websites to screw up my order or charge me multiple times. I do realize that most customers aren't selectively allowing/rejecting scripts, but its been a highly recommended practice for decades now.

I feel the upgradability issue is relatively minor. For some extra money, I can order one with 64 GB of DDR4 and 8 TB of flash. That's probably enough to carry me for five or so years. Quite frankly, my local storage needs topped out somewhere between 1 and 2 TB and have been there for the past five years. Whether 64 GB of RAM will be enough is the big question for me. Even if it weren't, there aren't many laptops available today that can go further than that.

Upgradability is good if you intend to make a lower initial investment and increase capacity at a later point. This laptop is not a toy and, if you are buying one, it's reasonable to expect a return on your investment.

Agreed. That being said, you need to separate Manhattan from the outer boroughs. There is tremendous inequality in NYC.
I'm completely with you. I have the older TouchBar model and every time I use the external Apple keyboard I am so much happier with the physical brightness, music controls and changing volume keys.

Gold jewelry only maintains value from the metal itself. Since what a jeweler will pay for it is based on the melt value of the gold, minus a certain percent to account for purity, you will never get back what you paid for generic gold jewelry, unless the price of gold rises significantly.
If I'm interpreting the second picture right, he may be one step ahead with traffic. It looks like each carriageway has a continuous slot, so I'm going to guess that traffic is on a very long loop, one for each direction so the traffic is constantly moving over that bridge.

Alright, so now instead of mining for bitcoin, everyone is going to be making money directly from advertisers by running virtual machines where they simulate a human interacting with the internet for BAT?

Do I have to solve captchas to qualify for brave rewards?

Can I make more money from being advertised to by being wealthy, and thus more valuable to advertise to or does brave capture all of that? Does no one capture that? Do I still get paid if I don't click through stuff? Do I get paid more if I do? How does brave verify that an ad has even been rendered? I doubt that it's terribly difficult to fool brave into believing that it has successfully rendered an ad at the maximum rate. Is it merely a violation of the ToS and if they "catch you" your bitcoins are forfeit? Is BAT a currency? When they confiscate your BAT, what is the legal process involved?

What if I want to launder a tremendous amount of money? Is brave going to suddenly make that a lot easier?

What if I have a massive botnet on the home computers of the elderly and I want to monetize it, does Brave help me do that?
People in here would probably pay not to have to deal with the TouchBar at all.
