Anyone remember when Netscape was a browser monopoly? Then microsoft, then google?

Or ICQ, then AIM and MSN messenger, then various, culminating in a WhatsApp owning IM.

Or MySpace’s social media monopoly being replaced by Facebook?

Yeah privacy is important. Has been since long before we were railing against the Clipper chip in the 90s.

Yeah companies have been grabbing data for a while. And it predates the web back to direct marketers and before.

Walled gardens and vendor lock-in are nothing new. The publishing platforms of today are doing exactly what AOL was doing over 20 years ago.

Today’s web let’s anyone spin up a fresh IP in seconds and use 100% open source software that they can freely modify to publish just about anything they want, while retaining full control of the entire stack down to the NIC, with total portability.

If you use one of the many platforms that want to lock you in and eat all your data, that’s your choice. But you don’t have to. Is it that the open minded consumer is dying?

Given how long I have to wait for the ever fashionable JS heavy SPA's to do _anything_, I'd almost be willing to bet it would still take less time.
I’d actually prefer to not own a car at all. Since I work from home now, and walked to work before, I’d rather just not have one.

But I agree, the marginal value of nicer cars is questionable at best. The benefit of a Model 3 was mostly going to be tax rebates and access to the car pool lane for my wife in crowded Los Angeles.

Yes, but it’s not the moderation here I have an issue with. It doesn’t bother me at all that programmers write and submit posts about medicine. What I would like to see is our peers submitting and up-voting more articles by experts. Expertise comes in many forms, to be sure, but, as readers, we should be checking the background of certain kinds of posts before we boost them.

I've read most of the paper but I just wanted to clarify something: is the goal of this to invent modern cross-platform HTML/CSS or am I missing something?

Similarly, despite the fact that the user's data can be hosted on their own computer (ex: name service), I find it hard to believe that any major site hosted with Qbux would not still have sign-in pages and de-anonymize their users. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the on prem data / distributed approach?
I love Shotwell, but there are a number of people who could do a fair job to run rocket operations. Its not like other rocket companies have major issues with running operations. The part that no other company can do is the part that Elon does, and that is ultimately why the operation side is so successful.

> The most practical approach is a decentralized system that protects the web

Oh, I know: (continuing and expanding of) social and technical efforts to make running their own websites and connecting them with websites of their friends easier for the average user.

By "social" I mean: it's desirable, it's a good idea, so let's stick to that and simply keep our "prognosis" of how it's all too late, or how people don't want that, to ourselves. They should want it, that's the point. How to achieve it is another thing, that's where wide debate is necessary, but that computing should empower people rather than make them less free -- that should be a baseline demand that doesn't adapt to reality, but seeks to adapt reality to itself.
> really did not like someone demonstrating a working prototype

In my long and painful experience in software development, almost no stakeholders like being shown they've wasted time and effort on something even if they were told from the start it was a waste.

(Although I suspect the kind of people who would be pleased to see a working prototype are also the kind of people who would listen to reason in the first place...)

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Man! If every organization held true to its founding ideals. do no evil, or heck, March of Dimes. You know, that document you cite also has a list of ten amendments, of which I know zero have been held to over 200 years. That's right, even the US has violated the 3rd amendment by quartering soldiers in warzones, for example Afghanistan, and even WWII (the amendment does not specify homes of citizens).

Do you think the US follows this clause of the constitution? Did you even know it was there? "In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law."

Forgive me if your assertion that the least binding part of a legal document that has brooked all sorts of breaches to its principles holds very little confidence.

One side was fundamentally built upon slavery (and for the "but but but" kid in the back you will notice that the Union did not exempt their slave states from the Thirteenth Amendment) and attacked the other out of fear that their slaves would be taken away.

I dunno, that feels like that kinda matters, too.
Everyone knows that interviews are imperfect and interviewers even more so. It is mostly about getting a question which you have seen before. However, what piqued my interest is "recruiter saying that I was rejected because....". How does one get such specific feedback on their interview? Throughout my career all I ever got was "unfortunately we do not share feedback".

> This representation is certainly well definable.

Do you mind defining it more formally for me then or pointing me to explanations/systems that would permit such a definition? I'm not really sure what such a formulation might look like, but then again I'm not nearly well-acquainted enough with mathematical topics past what is commonly taught. Does it involve the hyperreals, surreals, or one of the other systems beyond the "standard" reals as mentioned by other comments in the thread?

> I think your objection here is in the same vein as those who object to the notion that 0.999... = 1.0

> For most people, the concept of an infinite representation is not well defined.

I think (or at least hope) it's a bit more nuanced than that. I understand that some reals with infinite decimal representations can be well defined as an infinite series, and that defining 0.999... using such a series allows other manipulations to be done to complete the proof.

However, adding the concept of an "end" to said infinite series kind of breaks that understanding. The translation to an infinite sum no longer seems to hold, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

It's also somewhat counterintuitive to have an "end" to infinity, but as the rest of the thread shows intuition isn't always reliable for this kind of thing, especially for those who aren't particularly familiar with more detailed bits of math.
Because Trump is petty and destructive, and his voters love him for "hurting the right people".

What none of them realize or care about is when power shifts the other way - there will be calls to stop funding red states.

Red states take and take, and hurt blue states whenever they can. Look at the hurricane in NY and NJ and the response to it, and the response in LA. We're tired of always pitching in to help and do the right thing even as the people we help demonize us and try to hurt us. Enough. Fund yourselves with your conservative politics. We'll use our money to give ourselves a state worth living in.
Then it’s probably not a vitamin if we can synthesize enough of it to function fine.

The definition of vitamin is that it’s gotta be organic, necessary for healthy functioning, and we must be incapable of synthesizing enough of it to survive, even if it’s also available in our food. This is why cholesterol isn’t a vitamin; it’s necessary for us to live, but we’re fully capable of synthesizing enough of it on our own.

I don't know a single person that believes this. This is what people who hate Elon and Tesla believe about Tesla stockholders.

Its honestly crazy if you look at what Tesla has done since Elon took over, to think that he is a problem. He is the opposite.
A great example of the no-code system might be something like Power Automate/Power Apps/Power BI from Microsoft.

It's pretty painful to use when you want to do something simple in code like explode an array, take a few of the values from that and implode back into an array again.

Things like AWS Quicksight or Google Data Studio might be in the same sort of world too.

I know it's hard to believe that the CDC et. al. would just blatantly lie to you. But consider that they were simultaneously saying that masks WOULD protect healthcare workers. Here's an example tweet where the surgeon general claims that masks do not protect regular people, but they do protect healthcare workers. This is obviously nonsensical, those two things can't both be true.

Additionally, the surgeon general has repeated this claim on live television as recently as a week ago. There is no way he's that incompetent.

Regarding the last point specifically, there is an established texting convention. Say you you (or autocorrect) have made a mistake and typed word A and you have already sent the message, but really you meant word B. Then, if you notice this mistake (granted, if), it is common convention to simply reply “*B”. Then, when the recipient reads to the mistaken word A and wonders why the word A seems out of place, they can look at the subsequent message and substitute B for A, without you even having to explicitly designate which word you made a mistake in (this is still sometimes necessary, but rarely).

About non-algorithm competitive advantages. It's easy to switch search engines, so google invests madly:

Capital - massive capital investment in data centre around the world, for low latency, particularly for Google Suggest. Capital is an enormous barrier-to-entry for web startups. Google made search capital-intensive.

PR - consumer habit, supported by those myriad projects that position google in consumer minds as "leading tech company". It matters that you are the best; it matters that decision makers know you are the best.

Data - being first gives you a headstart, but competitors will catch up if you don't run at least as fast (and ways to improve that consumers care about - more running track). If you can something you have to do this that competitors lack, it's easier. So google madly collects data, and uses it to e.g. NLP of queries

Backend - Sergy did a lot with little hardware in the beginning, and that has continued, I believe including their own silicon.

All that gives google time to rival better search - and money buy it.
I made my own user stylesheet for HN a looong time ago, so why would I email anyone? I showed a simple fix, but oh well. If I wanted to paste something big in block formatting I would put it on pastebin, in this context I'm just a bystander trying to help people with a problem I don't have.

Access was one of my favorite Microsoft products of the late 90s. As a high school kid learning C, VB6, and Linux I came across access and really liked that it let me make easy forms. If you knew how to do DB design access was a great tool. I made a grading system for a teacher and several other teachers adopted it. They used it for almost 8 years before moving on. I was just a curious high school kid able to make useful software with a little persistence. It still feels like that level of accessibility in terms of software tooling does not exist in modern dev. It’s all watered down and abstracted in ways a simple Desktop app is not.

Healthcare workers are in all-day contact with COVID patients that have late stage symptoms (fluid in lungs) and they perform operations where fluids spray around.

Of course do not / do protect are simplifications as the effects are not binary. This is needed for communicating with the public, the meaning was "don't help much" vs "make a significant difference".

If the health authorities always used the precise and caveat-ridden language of medical journal papers in order to ensure each sentence is logically correct when interpreted literally, they wouldn't get any messages through.

The guidance about public usage of masks has changed in a lot of countries because the guidance changed from "no evidence that it protects the public from infection enough to make difference in epidemic spread" to "let's take even the small benefit of reducing spray from the potentially infected mask wearers". It's a sensible change when the mask shortages let up.

No need to fan the flames of lightly assuming malice from health authorities, it's a bad time for that.
I don't know if I had COVID-19 since I couldn't get a test. I had dry cough for 4 weeks since early May. It didn't go away.

I increased Vitamine D supply by taking a supplement and eating more fish (salmon, herring). The cough became better but became much better only when I also added Echinacea.
The surgeon general disagrees with this claim. He claims that the masks do protect the healthcare workers. You can see the claim in this tweet, where he also claims that the masks don't protect you.

Before Elon Tesla was 2 guys with a piece of paper saying 'we should build Electric cars'.

Elon provided most of the funding, and it wouldn't have gotten of the ground without him.

Next Eberhard ran the company straight into the ground and Elon had to take over.

Then Elon had to invest even more money to save the company.

From there he made it one of the most valuable car companies in the world.

Thus, anybody who thinks Tesla would actually exist without Elon is just a fool.

I was lured in initially by the novelty. But it has become an amazing tool for organizing myself. When I browse HN, I shift-click on everything interesting, and it automatically gets organized into a nice collapsible tree.

> Anyone remember when Netscape was a browser monopoly?

No. It was ubiquitous, but not a monopoly as it did not control anything. It was the best implementation at the time, similar to how KFC never had a monopoly on Fried Chicken, despite KFC being the only commercial offering in many regions.
This can be solved with the Idaho Stop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop), although in they absence of common sense you'd probably need a "really stop" sign for dangerous corners.
This argument makes no sense partly because it has an incorrect and vague definition of the open web. Whether or not the monopoly platforms adopt your preferred TOS is not what is killing the open web. It is the existence of the monopoly platforms themselves that is killing the open web, not their posting policies. If they had the most liberal posting policy imaginable they would still be destroying the open web.
Wait a minute, I thought software was the one emulating grunt worker functionality this whole time!
It's not clear from your comment which context you presented it in. It's definitely embarrassing for people to have this sprung on them unaware, especially presentation-style in a big room. You gotta show people stuff like this in private, 1-on-1, in a very casual "hey, what do you think of this little hack?" kind of way. People are a lot more receptive in that context, and if they have time to go away and mull over just how much time you could save them, and help them get done, they might actually like it.

In short, don't embarrass your coworkers.

That's always the case though. The reason why we use programming languages is because we need the expressiveness they offer. Attempting to simplify it any further severely limits the type of applications you can build. And so you end up with cookie cutter apps. It might be fun, it might even be useful for some back office tasks, but if the marginal cost to produce a thing goes to near zero, it would imply the supply of apps competing for that category would explode.
Or it might be the fact that he doesn't want a government to ruin his business when he believes the reasons for the lockdown are not good enough.

Chicken pox goes dormant in nerve cells then it reactivates after immunity fades (shingles). That's how new generations keep getting it. Now there's a vaccine given to children but the world is still full of us carriers for a long time.

There is a huge number of flu strains out there so that's a different kind of problem. Along with the fact that the immunity provided by a vaccine is not 100% anyway, and often much lower for influenza viruses.

Of course coronaviruses have been around a long time too (many as common colds) without much (any?) success in combating them.

Changing the cipher supposedly helps, too. Probably placebo though.
The problem is not the viewing, but editing. When you say "Open In Photoshop" does this mean you can make changes and then save the "file"? What if Photoshop doesn't just "save" a file, but writes several intermediate files onto the filesystem and does a bunch of file renames to create a "backup" of the original image. Those operations are no longer just operating on a single file any more. From the perspective of a security system implementor, how can you understand such intent from sequences of raw POSIX filesystem calls -- because that is all the sandbox enforcement code in the OS kernel gets to see and approve or deny.

For code that uses Apple's Cocoa frameworks, when you ask at a high level to work on a file (or a bundle) a "Powerbox" is used -- it runs out of process and hands back the App permission to make modifications to that file (or bundle) based on the way Cocoa manipulates objects. If the app doesn't use Cocoa, the best that can be done is delegate permission to a directory.

The iPhone allowed a different security model to be created as there was no direct access to "files" and "folders". There were and still are problematic APIs that are based on a give me full access or nothing model. It is quite a challenge to retrofit a security model onto something that ultimately doesn't break something major in an unexpected way.
That's not a comparable number since number of cases depends on how many are tested. For example, Denmark have drive through testing centers, Sweden doesn't.
Okay, but that conflicts directly with the idea we need to avoid labelling someone ranting about facism, locking people in their homes, and The Meaning Of America.
> I believe the capability of humans to synthesize sufficient amounts of D3 under many circumstances makes it a hormone

Its molecular structure precursor is cholesterol, a steroid hormone which by convention is a molecule with 3 hexanes attached to pentane and an R group, it under goes a series of cleaves in the presence of UV light to yield D3.

D3 and its known analogue's behavioiur and bioactivety also behaves like a steroid/hormone in that it can passively diffuse across a membrane. and helps down-regulate other metabolic reactions. Its effects on reducing inflammation in IG patients is well documented and worth checking out.

This is just wrong. Tesla relies on margin. The other automakers don't make money with their EVs for the most part. They make money with their ICE vehicles.

Actually all the other automakers are stripping their R&D programs and dropping new EV vehicles to survive.
