Quote: "There are only very few truly independent search engines in the world. Google, Bing, Yandex, and Baidu are the best known ones. Most other players only white label results from those four and are dependent on them and their business model"

Well, DuckDuckGo is pretty known and independent of Google. Not long time ago was an article here on HN about how DDG operates and they have their own web crawler, not relying on Google.
It will, no worries. What would prevent Google AdWords Inc providing ads to Google Search Inc? It's like any other company signing up for an ad network.

My point is that if your company sells information rather physical products then breaking it up is pointless.
Perhaps the .dev tld isn't the best venue for this post.

Yes, global companies should not be able to give away products or operate services at absurdly unprofitable rates (see: Ridesharing, a myriad of other Google services) just because they have billions to burn. It's horrifically anti-competitive and raises the barrier of entry unnecessarily. It's not like vertical integration is some new invention, its historically been fought against by anti-trust regulators. We just live in a world where they effectively don't operate any more.
I think it would more accurate to say a report by the Trump administration says truckers don't pay enough, but this article does not mention any steps by the administration to increase taxes on trucks.

I'm not trying to argue a political point, but it would be interesting to see the current adminstration be for a tax increase.

I don't think he's all that brilliant. He does have one extraordinary skill, and that is to make himself appear brilliant by being prolific and obscure and using other psychological tactics. This is a very useful skill (Donald Trump used it to become president) but I think it is very important to distinguish it from actual brilliance. To my knowledge, Curtis has never done anything that is actually brilliant.
It would be interesting to see an analysis where the most fundamental results in mathematics are looked at under the light of their discoverers' ideological beliefs and psychologies.

Charitably, the emphasis could be put on “if you give it a bit of time.” Read that way, it’s not an argument for intuitive UX, just a comment about how the UX grows on you. It doesn’t contradict what you said. Should it?

After all, this is a discussion forum where regular humans can share their experiences. Not debate club.
There actually isn’t much to these tbh, oscillator, mixer and pcb antennas. To use these in an application you would have to still process the analog waveform coming out. Fortunately the frequency is very low (audio range) allowing for all manner of inexpensive detection/measurement circuits.
The Electoral College's intention was to balance large states' power with small states' desire to not let large states run everything. The college had nothing to do with slavery or the Three Fifths Compromise. Slave states gained more power in the Electoral College from the extra 3/5 votes, but a) the compromise itself had nothing to do with the Electoral College's creation or design, and b) 3/5 of a vote gave less power to slave states than their preference, a full vote for each slave.
I agree completely. The only risk is that once you get to real analysis, your prof will yell at you for mixing notions of complexity and computability into your ideas of what a function is (happened to me).

Are you reacting to the blog post, or something else? I didn't see any anti-success rhetoric, only anti-monopoly rhetoric. But for the record, success isn't sacred, especially if people succeed at something that sucks. I'd be decidedly anti-success where genocidal dictators were concerned, for example. I'd be explicitly against their ambition, their drive, and their personal fulfillment and growth journeys, sorry.
It is in poor taste to refer to the Hebrew Bible as the "old Testament."
As I've observed, ERP systems also require factories talking to one another on the phone, to work out production plans and schedules. I worked for a company that supplied parts to customers with ERP systems, and their systems generated boom-bust cycles. We took care of them by making our own estimate of how much each customer needed per month, and keeping a bit of inventory cushion.
If there can be multiple graphics editing programs (GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, ...) and multiple 3D modelling tools (FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, Blender, Wings3D, ...) why shouldn't the space be big enough for multiple EDA tools (KiCAD, LibrePCB, Fritzing, Horizon, ...)?

" they sent every keystroke I type in the URL bar to their own servers"

Well, that's how you implement an autocomplete feature in the 1st place. If they'd sent every keystroke you typed outside their URL bar, now that's something to be aware off. So, did they?
I second this, IMO to a first approximation reading that book is the way to understand programming in Forth.

A good one in the Southern U.S. is the pronunciation of the word "Appalachian". I'm from NC and whenever I hear someone say "Appa-lay-shin" I immediately know they aren't local and I start acting a little different accordingly. Not in a mean way, but I know I can't open up completely to those people because from experience I know they might judge me according to stereotypes about that region.
Yeah, parallels sort of like a triangle is made of parallel lines. Only if you stretch the analogy beyond all meaning. I mean seriously, at that point any teacher correcting their student is 1984 for pointing out any mistakes.

Sure - this might be a step in that direction. But so far? Seriously, give me a break. When there's no recourse, corrections are secret rather than transparent, there's no public audit - then come back and complain. Not that the law sounds brilliant or anything, but equating everything to 1984 simply devalues that comparison to the point of meaninglessness.
If you want advanced high school level maths, Haese and Harris does have worked solutions. I've also heared good things about the Oxfort math book I think.

I went to a lot of subreddits where high schoolers hang out. They are brutally honest when it comes to what good math textbooks are.

Why are you fighting this battle?

As you say, my side lost.

That my side won’t accept it is a you-problem, not a me-problem, as I left the country. If you want to rule over the Remainers who didn’t physically leave the UK, you’ll have to bring them on board. But trying to engage me will do nothing. I’ve given up on the UK.

Have you considered the possibility that everyone who you accuse of 1 is sincere about what you label 2? I do not need to know if you think the EU is too left out too right to believe that you are sincere about not knowing its benefits.
Of that sounds harsh. What do you mean by complexity? I understand computability (having made a Turing machine from a mostly XML based language :D).
> Are billionaires awesome? Nope

I disagree here. Billionaires are often pretty awesome. Once someone gets way more money than the could ever need, they tend to pursue other activities that they enjoy more than making money, which is frequently giving it away (Bill Gates, Warren Buffet) or starting moonshot space companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or Virgin Galactic. Even Zuckerberg donates to projects like these.

Rich people take on projects that may not be viable yet, but are important nonetheless, essentially filling the role that government used to play in R&D.
Not a fan of Google at all, but I'll pick them over "privacy focused search engine" owned by German publisher of Playboy any time of the day.

These guys call for banishment of "search monopoly" yet are in it for the money and business share. Privacy is just a currently sound competitive angle.
The key piece missing is regulation, which he called out. It sounds like you disagree with him on going as far to break up a company like Google (which it sounds like you support).

But then you turned this into a personal attack and questioning his motivation, which you already “suspect”.

Regulation is missing, in my opinion, and breaking them up doesn’t address the problem and is a dicey proposition all together. But attacking people is breaking rules and only makes you lose credibility.
I know, just an example to imagine breaking Google up in a really stupid way.

That's only the first half of what socialism means, the second half is that if they make poor choices, and their corporation goes bankrupt, the other corporation has to employ them and give the same amount of voting power, as to the old workers who had made better choices, and kept their corporation working.

The first half is pretty much uncontroversial, and would work under capitalism too. The problematic part is the second half which resets the board, giving the same voting power to qualified and unqualified worker, and removing the incentive to work well.
Thank you, your response was very informative. It got me to dive a bit deeper into some of your essays and blog posts. I learned a lot particularly from these:

Why would such a thing be necessary when you can just grab the plates instead?
Second that question. If you don't do product lines with varying platforms, buildroot is much easier.
It's not the only decision point, but I try to avoid companies that exhibit a pattern of scummy behavior such as Wal-Mart, Nestle or Uber. Further I'm not only a consumer. I'm also a potential (small time) investor and employee of these companies. The bar for acceptable behavior is even higher if I'm going to work or invest with them.
> Has Europe’s pro-union climate led to more competitive software companies, or better pay and benefits for its software engineers?

E.g. we get health insurance even if we quit or switch jobs.

The thing about European software companies tho is that they are hardly unionized at all.

>Every European engineer I talk to seems either amazed or resentful about American software engineers’ salaries and benefits.

I am not, to be honest. Sure, at a first glance it might seem the US devs make tons of money. But once you account for cost of living (like the astronomical rents in every major tech hub city) things do not look that rosy anymore. I know US people who make twice or trice what I make, and yet they live in dumps that you can hardly call apartment and they say they cannot afford any better. That, combined with the at-will nature of US employment, really doesn't strike me as desirable.

I like living in a country where I have a pretty awesome standard of living, a nice apartment that I don't have to share (unless I want to) and a safety net that is (at least for now) able to catch me should I ever struggle or become sick, so I won't go homeless.

Those things are largely thanks to work the unions did in the past and keep doing.
A function is (at least formally) a relationship between two sets of things. It doesn’t matter whether there’s any sort of algorithm that lets you input an object from the domain and calculate the corresponding image under the function, or even an approximation. This came up when we were talking about Dedekind cuts or something like that so it’s very much not pedantry at all in that sort of context.
I'm not arguing about Gandhi facts. Your comment was flamebait. By unsubstantive I mean comments that add more noise than signal to a thread.

It's also against HN's rules to use it primarily for political or ideological battle. Would you mind taking the spirit of this site more to heart, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html? We're here for curious conversation, not to smite enemies, and those two things can't coexist.

Yes. Also search WW2 war stories about radio operators, this technique dates back since then.

I gotta disagree. I've been working with Joy the last couple of years and I think it's possibly a "silver bullet".

Interestingly, it sidesteps a lot of the problems with stack manipulation by means of flexible combinators that permit various kinds of higher-order stack/expression manipulation.

Also, see "Compiling to Categories" wherein Haskell is converted to a kind of point-free form very similar to Joy... https://conal.net/papers/compiling-to-categories/
What behavior here is breaking anti trust laws? And please be specific. Amazing that you compare Google and genocidal dictators.
I'm not so sure that we would want one community around one package for electrical engineering. The industry has always been relatively stagnant, such that even a mediocre UX like Altium's is a breath of fresh air compared to Zuken, Mentor, Cadence, etc. and we could do with a lot more experimentation in open source ECAD to make up for the missed opportunities. That means a lot of orthogonal experimentation in file formats and version control, DRC, standardization of schematic and PCB modules, and so on that should not be coupled to one project.
For what it's worth, some people apparently read code differently than other people -- some subvocalize these symbols -- and reprogramming your brain to use short names for symbols might be very useful. I'd guess some other people have compressed mathematical symbols to an unvocalizable mental representation.
>Google can keep Search, but Ads, Doubleclick, Analytics, Waze, GCP, Google Home - all of that needs to be broken up.

>Some of the resulting businesses may have to update their model or may not remain profitable, but historically break-ups have resulted in an increase in value for the new businesses.

All of this teaches one lesson: be more like Apple. Treat your customers poorly and massively overcharge them. Make sure you are never the biggest in your field. Essentially, don't offer products that are too good for the price.

I'd also like to point out that if those companies have to be spun off on their own, then the only way for some of them to make money is to sell your data to third parties. Right now Google doesn't seem to do that, but how else would Analytics monetize itself, if it cannot offer ads?

OP is right-on as to why this is a big deal in academia.

I don't think it would be possible to split off AdWords from Search. Search would either partner with AdWords or roll its own ads and then we'd be back to square one.

When Bell Telephone was split it was cut along geographic lines. That would also not work on a tech company for obvious reasons --- software knows no borders. I don't know of a sensible way to break up tech giants because the efficiencies of scale create a natural winner take all market.
I don’t follow. I support a few remote people on my team now, and it would be much more difficult without video conferencing.
You most likely can. Just listening to people type on a keyboard gives a very unique feel with each person. Try it sometime, listen to family members and colleagues type or find some youtube video. I can ID all my family members and some coworkers by the sound of their typing.

Obviously, if you can get the content of what they're typing, it gets much easier still. I think I've seen papers where they ID programmers based on the code they've produced. This applies to other types of writing too.

You can build a model from keystroke timings and figure out people's SSH passwords too. https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/sec01/full_papers/song/...

> The BSP companies like it though, my theory is that, since Yocto is so complex(unnecessarily), only them can solved the problem for clients.

I also think Yocto is mainly an advantage for BSP vendors, but I think where the benefits might offset the complexity is when managing lots of client specific variations and adaptations for the same base BSP.
When they started doing partisan Democrat shit like screwing with legitimate searches to place their favored information at the top or just simply diminish the importance of other points of view, they went evil big time. We can't survive this and still be free people. We will end up like China and it doesn't matter how we got there. If corporations are doing this to us, then corporations are the enemy of the people.

And look, the brave kids in Hong Kong are the ones we ought to be emulating RIGHT NOW because if we wait until we are as weak as them, we're screwed, just like they are. The reason they are fighting now is because they finally realized they have no future but a gunshot to the back of the head and a quick fall into a ditch, covered over by a bulldozer. That is your future under collectivism--the boot on your neck forever with no escape, which is what modern day China is right now.

The only way to avoid it is to have INDIVIDUAL rights and have government and its fascist corporations treat you like an individual and value your rights. Corporations are doing the collectivizing that our government can't do, but imagine a corporation with the power to kill you. That's the course America is on right now.

If you want my true opinion, I don't think we get back out now without bloodshed. The oligarchs believe us to be doormats and without push back we are doormats.

> Some of Yarvin's writings are at best eccentric, but as he has not been a part of the project for some time already, I think it's fair for today's contributors to the project to ask you to set aside his intent, or your impressions of it.

"Some time" is pretty vague. He left the project earlier this year, and the project is still named after his fascist blog. I asked one of the Tlon employees in this comment section why the project is still named after Unqualified Reservations (UR), and so far haven't gotten a response. I think it's fair to expect a project with this history to address it head on and actually denounce the views of Yarvin/Moldbug if they are trying to be viewed as non-fascist. A project can be apolitical, but a project with a political past doesn't get to act like it's apolitical just because the founder steps away on good terms and nobody else is blogging a racist and anti-democratic ideology. If the current contributors don't agree with Yarvin/Moldbug's intent, it seems fair to expect them to actually make that clear.
