Dead? That's like calling a transistor a dead technology. They just mostly stopped being their own little boxes. Unless you mean dial-up modems specifically.
With roadmap decisions like these, the compute or storage cost for the data is an insignificant part of the product decision making.

The real cost of doing something like this is doing user research to figure out the set of human behaviors around the memorialization process, deciding where in the product to make the functionality available, training material for how it escalates up to human support teams, and what other things are on the team's plate at the same time.

Radical might not be my choice of words, but he's got a certain type of ideological purity around free software that's definitely on the extreme end.

Here's a paraphrased version of what he's saying:

"GitHub [...] has done terrible harm to our community.

GitHub was so bad for free software, all along[.]"

Now, if you were to define "our community" as the open source community, this would be laughable - very few people would argue that open source software has been terribly harmed by GitHub (on the contrary, the rise of GitHub has seen many projects flourish). I don't necessarily think he means the wider open source community, though - he's referring to his own Stallman flavor of free software.
> … but I was really REALLY hoping to snap my first name which was registered by a European person 10 years ago, has 0 followers, and has never posted.

I created a Twitter account in 2012 and it was immediately put in “private mode” because I didn’t want to post anything; ±7 years later the account is still empty, no posts, no followers, nada. The only reason I created that account was to prevent cybersquatting over my short-and-simple username (which I have to clarify is not “guessmyname”). I’ve done the same thing in other popular websites which I also never use, aside from signing in once in a while to keep the account “active”.

Can you imagine if I release my Twitter account, after almost a decade of constant cultivation of my other professional profiles (GitHub, GitLab, LinkedIn, etc) and then someone starts posting malicious messages to make my username look bad? People will quickly associate these messages with other accounts on the Internet with the same name. I don’t want to take that risk, and I guess other people with inactive Twitter/Facebook/Gmail/etc accounts are the same.
Not true, according to here

I said public target. The thing was aimed at web pages, the sell was applets.

Not quite true either.

I didn't say CGI just stopped existing and emphasized commercial use - it was too slow too once you hit even relatively medium-ish traffic. FCGI, NSAPI, in-process-tcl, plopping-piles-of-C-in-your-own-custom-apache-build were all solutions to that problem.
It's not cynicism. It's acknowledging the reality of work in a lot of these environments as the root cause of these problems.

You will be stuck with an old slow PC trying to fix some issue until midnight, and that just takes a heavy toll on people.

As things can't work well, there is a lot of responsibility deflection going on, it would be naive to think otherwise.

Also, a lot of these posts in HN assume that the only way to live is to work as an employee for someone else, under similar conditions.

It's important to realize that there are other professional options available, which many people won't even consider.

For your option list, I've seen a lot of 1. As for 2, there are lot more bad companies than good ones, and you can't tell from the interview process and can't also change each 2 months.

As for 3, half the workforce would switch jobs then. The problem is not the people, it's the system.

I would add 4, do contract work and stay while the balance of the good things / bad things about the job make it worth it, then do something else after a year or two when it doesn't.

This relates to 2, sometimes a company is the right company in the beginning, but it's no longer the case later on. For example, I bet you won't work there forever.

This is especially true where there is different behaviour between units. You can't just assume that your 99% estimation (plucked out of thin air) is correct and discredit other potential explanations.
Especially if your primary goal is the social factor and the "having a schedule for a few hours a day"-thing (which I completely understand) and getting some money out of it is secondary, I guess a lot of people in that demographic might just opt for volunteering.

True, it completely fails to pay any bills, but depending on what you do, you might get some everyday benefits out of it and it's a lot less annoying and exhausting than many jobs you could do elsewhere. Plus, nobody bats an eye if you decide to go from one volunteering gig to another after a few months, after all you're doing it for free. Switching jobs is more of a hassle.

As far as I can see, this kind of working hours isn't accounted for in these charts and I see that group as prime candidates for deciding that none-paying but nice, meaningful work is better than pushing numbers for another few years when you could make do without it.

What's AMP?
A handler now? The linked article is classic RMS: pedantic, relentless, and reasoning so nuanced to the point of being indecipherable if not imperceptible to all but the few who have spent countless hours wrestling with RMS' ideas.

If you assume RMS is smarter than you, or at least more analytically rigorous (like a computer)[1], then you'd be hard pressed to find anything RMS has said which isn't consistent with the entire body of his thinking--including his opinions on certain age-related matters and his recognition of and apology for the insensitive manner in which he expressed them. Which isn't to say you would consequentially agree with him, just that his reasoning is about as impeccable as is possible for such insoluble human social issues. You almost always end up having to wrestle with and reject his premises, which can be difficult because his premises are often agreeable on their face. But by doing so you develop and strengthen your own views. RMS is like Socrates, a pacemaker in a race, or the Energizer Bunny--absolutely exhausting, but if you're disengaging then more likely than not you're the one falling behind, not him. Which is fine--the biggest premise of all is that any of this matters, and if you have your doubts it's impossible to match his stamina; just don't pretend like he's the one slowing down or tripping up.

[1] I want to say that one should simply apply the HN rule of assuming the best version of the argument. But RMS almost always puts forth the best version of the argument, at least from a logical perspective, though certainly not necessarily a rhetorical perspective. Thus with RMS the better habit is assuming he's smarter than you, regardless of whether that's true or not, as it forces you to identify and trace the elements and threads of his reasoning, which are invariably present in plain sight.

You (deliberately?) misread the parent's comments. It was not very long, and it centered on the word "both".

> I suggest to just give them money, and then they can buy the bread and healthcare they need.

Elsewhere you wrote that "unforeseeable, big events" should still be covered by insurance, but I don't think you understand that if people don't have enough money, even getting regular checkups and medication can be pretty "big" from the affected person's perspective. If two people are scraping by on a universal basic income that is enough for basic shelter and food, and one of those people regularly needs checkups or medication for some chronic condition, then you are screwing over one of those people.

This isn't about the freedom to choose not to be chronically ill, because there is no such freedom. Neither is it about the freedom to choose not to be treated for chronic medical conditions. There is no such freedom, the word for that "choice" is "torture".

> General criticism

AMP has been widely criticized by many in the tech industry[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] for being an attempt by Google to exert its dominance on the Web by dictating how websites are built and monetized, and that "AMP is Google's attempt to lock publishers into its ecosystem".[27] AMP has also been linked to Google's attempt to deprecate URLs so that users will not be able to immediately see whether they are viewing a webpage on the open Web or an AMP page that is hosted on Google's servers.[28]

Joshua Benton, director of the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University, said: "there is a sense in which AMP is a Google-built version of the web. We are moving from a world where you can put anything on your website to one where you can’t because Google says so."[29] Ramon Tremosa, a Spanish member of the European Parliament, said: "AMP is an example of Google dialing up its anti-competitive practices under the nose of the competition regulators."[29]

That's a very special setting, most enterprises aren't like that. For example, for material, you get a crap old PC where you can hardly run your IDE, where you can't install anything.

These days it's doable to at least get a second monitor. But for things such as an SSD drive? At least a couple of years ago it was nearly impossible.

The reason why burnout is frequent, is because in general in most places work conditions are bad and stressful. In my view the problem is the system and not the people.

Your professional setting seems like a good example of how it doesn't have to be like that.
I may be wrong, but I read before on HN than bing is used for 99% of the search results.
Gate keeping

Imagine doing the wonderful things RMS did in the past, being a hero of both FOSS and software in general. Imagine then being remembered for the ahole tricks that came later instead.

Github opened up both software and FOSS to me. I found projects despite not having a computer science education, not working full time in software, not having a personal network of academic buddies, not using irc. Very occasionally I contributed, and my submissions were taken on the value of the bugs I fixed, despite my lack of reputation.

RMS is a gatekeeping mysogynist pxxxx. He is failing to damage the community despite his best efforts because he has marginalised himself by his behaviour.

Ps. I haven't started a repo on github in a while, but I firmly remember it suggesting you add a license, and linking to explanations of the different licences. Did RMS want them to force it on you?
I was hoping for something more along the lines of a book, blog, or academic paper that goes into the subject in some detail.

Well, you weren't, but the OP is a Show HN by a company offering such a service.

I dunno, I think for most people uBlock rules are going to be easier to handle then setting up their own DNS server. Sure, I have my own resolver too (Unbound), but since you need an ad blocker on top of that anyway, I just keep my rules in uBlock. The following is all you need to block all subdomains but allow the bare domain:

A simple fix would be to pick a character that can not otherwise occur in Twitter handles, like ':'. Then move every inactive @foobar user to @inactive:2019:foobar. If a follower of the original account complains, change "inactive" to "memorialized" or whatever, possibly adjusting the year backwards.

If I choose to squat the now freed up @foobar handle and not do anything with it, next year they can move my inactive version to @inactive:2020:foobar and free up @foobar again for the next person interested in using it.

Any way they solve this, there is a danger of people using bots to mass-squat liberated names to offer them for sale. I don't see any very good way around this. Possibly to give first pick to users with long-standing accounts that share a nontrivial common substring with the liberated handle. For example, if my current Twitter name is @firstname_lastname, and I really want @firstname, I think it might make sense to prioritize me over @random_bot_204safhq23.

Federal Data Privacy Bill Takes Aim at Tech Giants
I feel it’s because of network effects as well as inability to steal IP easily.

Network effects purely because once you have enough mass of people on board, you can easily attract more people and it is easy enough to distinguish yourself from your competitors that it deters people from switching and/or even being able to make a comparison.

Second you can’t easily steal IP. Anker making a next generation charger will have to face copycats who went to their OEM and were sold the design or the product itself from the backdoor. It’s simply difficult to keep things under wraps when it has a physical + human component. Not so easy in software. To substitute Instagram you’ll probably [0] have to write everything from scratch. Computers when configured correctly will not exactly sell your work from the back door.

[0] I mean source code is still stolen but it’s still marginally harder to use source code than just selling the stolen designs. Plus stealing source code works only once because the victim will then clamp down harder and then continue to innovate it’s way out of the mess.

1. Most Twitter users are not malicious in the way you suggest.

EDIT: 1'. Twitter has rules and procedures against impersonation: https://help.twitter.com/forms/impersonation though I don't know how effective they are if you are not going by a real name but by an Internet handle that you claim is unique.

2. If you have such an important personal brand to protect, your Twitter account should not be in private mode. It should be public, with a public tweet explaining that you are really you but are choosing not to use Twitter, and where to find you instead.

3. If you have such an important personal brand to protect, you presumably have something interesting to say. Twitter is not a bad platform to say it.

All in all, if they take away your squatted Twitter handle, I wouldn't feel bad for you. Certainly not without a lot more information about why your brand is so special. And, well, if you can keep them from doing it by logging in once every six months, it seems that that is something you can shoulder to protect your brand.
