Multinational companies are not bringing profits home. This was perhaps the best decision Trump made was to even the playing field and brought it down to about the same as most EU countries.

Europe is a much larger population but it’s not as rich as US per capita so don’t expect europeans to buy more US goods. I agree that sometimes the tariffs are too high. But the situation is more complex. VAT in Sweden is 25%, a Tesla Model S cost about 100k$ here because of VAT mainly not just tariffs. Many US products are simply too expensive for the same reasons and a Europea generally lower purchase power. Americans like to buy European luxury goods many europeans themselves can’t buy. Trade is not a single transaction. I would love to own Tesla or buy more american, but I can only afford iPhone not Tesla. And iPhones are made in China...

Nato has protected EU, but not against the refugee crisis which affect EU much more than US. US seems to infact increased the problems and is simply trying to leave now. US cares about mexican immigration but don’t do much to help situation in ME.
> It would have been better to preserve users (UIDs) as the 'security' boundary for data. Leaving processes (PIDs) to offer the containment for safety (virtual memory etc.), and specifically not security of data.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but to me what you suggests sound like it would allow malicious JS running in my browser should be able to snoop data from my secure password manager (running as a separate process), because they both run under the same UID?

Is that correct? Since most systems are pre-dominantly single-user systems, I honestly think the PID-isolation model makes more sense, as I'm not trying to defend against other users trying to spy on me, on my own laptop.

Org Mode keeps being pushed again and again, but honestly this title is one of the boldest claims I've seen about it.

Just look at the document. It's a 400+kb HTML page of Emacs configurations, keybindings and other stuff that makes absolutely no sense unless you've been an avid Emacs user for years. Where is the Plain Text here? I see nothing of the sort. Sure, the output might resemble Plain Text, but it's clearly not.

I have nothing against it or those who use it, more power to you, but please be realistic.

Sorry about the rant.

I do use org mode for writing documents and presentations but I feel like a lot of these 'organization' tools just result in spending more time tweaking them than actually doing the work you set out to organize.
That has always been the case actually, since Windows 3.x, except that back then probably Borland would be a better option.

Using such tools for me was only to do university work at home.

>Interesting that the meme that games are ST bound persists when that hasn’t been the case for several years

Except you don't get that it's not a meme, ideally CPU's were expected to scale into the 10-30Ghz range, that never happened because of the end of dennard scaling.

So yes ST performance is paramount, the only reason it's not is because CPU scaling hit a brick wall and because of power and leakage issues, when new materials become available that enable higher frequencies, you will see everything dramatically improve.

So no DX11 and Vulkan will not magically make all games faster, they are optimizations for graphics pipelines.

Most of today's games we're interested in run on 10year old machines just fine. If you think you can't run an i5 2500K /w a modern GPU and run 99% of all games you are clueless.

Most games are targeted at console specs and have held PC gaming back for decades.
Just to be clear, everyone agrees on the advantages of QC and no one disputes that Google has built a quantum computer. Let me try to paraphrase the arguments.

1. QC needs qbits. 1 logical qbit needs many (tens to hundreds) of physical qbits.

2. We need Quantum Error Correction(QEC) to read cleanly from qbits. Current algorithms for QEC need about a 1000 logical qbits.

3. Current state of technology has only 50 - 200 qbits has very low signal to noise and the noise is inherent in the system (you cannot engineer it away)

4. The current systems, specifically Google’s, produce a sequence of numbers. It is possible to have a low complexity algorithm on classical computer which can produce similar sequences (i.e. pass the test for QC produced sequence)

4 is possible because reading from the qbits is noisy and such a noisy data can at best replicate a classical computer. So, the current state of the art, Noisy Intermediate State Quantum computers are not useful for any computation and we need to get to 1000+ qbits to achieve the supremacy. Of course, not everyone agrees that the noise cannot be engineered away or even if the noise is such a big deal.

A lack of discipline on sending out notifications, and you can be spammed all day long with workflow-breaking distractions. Even direct messaging can interfere drastically with your productivity.

True but I think addressing those inconsistencies in the build system is doing it on the wrong level. Ideally this should happen outside the actual build and any dynamic configuration that is derived from the system environment should simply be passed into the build. CMake makes this easy using toolchains.

I’m one of those people who is entirely happy wit Apple’s default apps, but the opportunity to change “default apps” (such as the browser, email client, and so forth) is one of the things I have always looked forward to and am hoping that will come through on iOS/iPadOS 14 (if the rumours are to be believed).

The funny thing is that the elaborate process (including the jailbreak) he went through to “change his default browser” didn’t really change his browser since all ‘browsers’ available for iOS are actually mandated to be implemented as Safari webviews. So he might’ve changed the chrome and the collateral features, but he’s still using the Safari/WebKit rendering engine.

Good point, another essential part of civilization. You might add though, that some citizen/users can contribute in ways other than fees: in communes/collectives, you might say contribute some professional services in exchange for virtgov ones. Although barter is still basically money, the virtgov can sell that work product outside, like a corporation, because the lines are fuzzy anyway.
ex-(french president) was what they were trying to say, but unfortunately that doesn't look good as a headline.

french ex-president doesn't sound right to me, because that would mean a french person who is an "ex-president". Subtle difference, but to make a point let me stretch it out a bit. He could be an "ex-president" of anything, maybe an ex-president of a high school class, and just happens to be a french guy.

What they're trying to say is a person who is an "ex-president of france", so the "ex" prefix applies to "french president".
I was a big fan of org mode, and I still think nothing beats it for free form note taking. But if your use cases are very simple todo tracking, you might want to try OmniFocus. I have bene using OmniFocus and found a very easy to use replacement. It doesn't match the flexibility of org mode but gets the job done.

Oh! I'm working on this exact problem at the moment: a dashboard to keep track of your different backups.

* Get notified when backups fail or take too long via email, slack, webhook, etc.

* Run your backup scripts and tools with our open source agent, which takes cares of reporting backup results to the dashboard.

* Alternatively, write your own integration with our API to report backup results and send logs yourself.

We'll launch privately soon at https://backupshq.com, I'd love to hear what you think of the idea. We haven't decided on pricing yet, but would like to offer free usage for personal use. Either way, I'll hook you up with some free credit.

It's a pity for him though that his situation doesn't seem to be negotiable.

The de facto stance of America is that the revelations were not shocking enough to alter the status quo. So post-hoc one could imagine that the exposed NSA could have just been a transparent NSA from the start. But the way the story unfolded, despite not shocking the system deeply, he's still left playing the part of the traitor. He probably did make life more difficult for the NSA though, as I'm pretty sure a lot of people ramped up cybersecurity.
I have just started the plunge into the emacs and org mode life, so I am by no means a die hard defender of the name.

Org modes files do export as plain text; this makes them super simple to deal with. It looks similar to a non-rendered markup file. Not pretty, but definitely plain-text.

One huge feature of org mode I have yet to use is that you can nest org mode files. So you can have ten org mode files from different parts of your life all get pulled and displayed into one screen.

No chicken are fed antibiotics! It’s against the law and chicken manufacturers use that as a marketing ploy - “antibiotic free chicken” is as much as “water is wet”. Also free range is a sham - you can add a small fence leading to outside opening but the rest of the building can be dark and crowded and still call it free range.

Can I get a quick rundown on why Org Mode is better (easier/faster/more organized/whatever you prefer) than a ~/TODO.md file?

I use this format:

! for tasks that contain a warning, careful, beware

> for tasks I am waiting for others to give me output about

? for tasks I am not sure about

v for tasks I've completed

x for tasks i won't do, WONTFIX

```

so, for example, today i'd have:
```

## 2020-05-25 orgmode

> ask about orgmode on hn

v rant on hn about my own flatfile task management

x install emacs

? look if orgmode can be tested on vi

Housing prices are set as high as they need to be in order to guarantee at least “a little bit” of poverty.

Everyone being housed is effectively a signal to landlords that rent is too cheap.

We obviously produce enough capital to ensure everyone is housed and fed, yet housing costs simply keep rising with productivity because, well, why wouldn’t they?

Zoning/NIMBYism doesn’t help either, but even with perfect zoning, prices would still rise with productivity.
All these analyses are forgetting one big reason: culture (and yes, cost too of course). The first office I built (out of 6 or so) was open plan, specifically because I was starting up a tech company in a conservative culture where the 'boss' was behind a close door (often a solid, non-glass door). Open plan meant not just more people per sq.mt. and cheaper construction (which it does, by an order of magnitude); it also meant that the boss was available for any question no matter how trivial by just calling out his name.

That was a huge step back then. I know it's almost expected now (which is probably why we're ready to move to remote/open cultures) but you gotta remember why open plans were revolutionary when they appeared and what cubicle farms meant for the company values, not just its lease payments.
Happily, nothing in that article really contradicted the Wikipedia page (or at least my reading of it). I took “guided” to be a kind of romanticized “swam alongside,” not that the ships were using the dolphin as literal navigational aid. The article actually confirms the behavior.
> Crowds, for example, behave similarly even if you shuffle around who is in the crowd.

Indeed, but the issue is that the Wikipedia editors are not a crowd, it's a crowd of crowds. What's the behaviour of that? And can we compare this context with those used for whichever experiment was used to come to that claim I'm citing above.

> You seem to be operating under the assumption that if we only threw more manpower at Wikipedia we could incrementally improve it to perfection. That seems implausible to me for various reasons.

My idea actually was that overtime, editors would improve in their way of doing that task. However, admittedly, they would have to hang around long enough for this to happen. Maybe that's what "Hyper-Libertarians" have in mind as well? That by default humans are trying to get better at what they do, and thus the system can only improve?

> It is also an expression of personality.

That's a point I disagree with: I don't believe that an encyclopedia article should show personality, but quite the contrary. For me, an encyclopedia is something like a dictionary with a more in depth treatment of the topics. It is first and foremost a compilation of informations.
For high core count (server) CPUs all levels of cache are local to core(s). For example, in Intel's current plattform each core has a 1.x MB L3 slice attached to it. In AMD's Zen 2 design, each CCX (group of four cores) has 16 MiB of L3 attached to it.

Based on these architectural features Intel has had CAT, which essentially turns LLC slices into private caches for certain cores. That's intended for performance, but is now also relevant for security.
I started using org mode with doom Emacs. As an Emacs novice it was pretty easy to set up and came with some nice defaults for org mode.
One additional reason for reducing addiction is that addictions like video games can make your baseline of 'fun' too high, so doing productive things doesn't feel fun even though it would otherwise.

Before JavaScript got fast and feature rich we had Java Applets. We also had Flash for a longer time. They are not fundamentally different from JavaScript: if our CPU runs code from the net there could be exploits.

So maybe the thin client model? All the code runs on the server and the UI is streamed to the client? But the lag would be higher and the cost for the web server would probably have prevented any internet boom.

Why not, it's the customer that ends up paying because there's less performance per machine, and so they may need more of them. If all cloud providers use this fix then there's really nothing you can do. Some may provide true 'bare-metal' machines but I'd imagine they're pricey and a pain to maintain / monitor.
Markdown is comparable the the org mode format (although not favourably), but it can't be compared to org mode as a whole.
Org-mode clearly is two things:

1. A syntax for organizing information
2. An Emacs configuration to create and maintain files in said syntax.

Clearly, the "plain text" part of the quote that tripped you off refers to 1. And in theory, you can write and read that format in any editor that supports plain text files. But I think you're right that in reality, and unlike competitors like Markdown or reText, this one is tightly coupled to a single text editor: Emacs.

Does that make the tag-line wrong? I don't think so. But perhaps it sounds like a stretch in the light of point 2.

At the same time, I think this motto ("your life in plain text") has been around for a long, long time - from a time, when org-mode was less complex. Like many successful (niche or non-niche) products, it has grown tremendously in terms of features. So, perhaps that motto was more fitting to org-mode's beginning.

That said, all tools for using anything with a non-trivial set of options or features are complex. Think IDE's or Photoshop etc. -- you don't need all the features to get started and you won't even use all features on a regular basis. But whenever you want to do something, and the tools gives you the possibility to do it, it will make you happy.

That's why you end up with long instruction manuals.

Is it different for any other tool of sufficient complexity?
It's all due to investor pressure. Netflix was bleeding itself dry until they started making these changes.

It's really not though, renewables have already surpassed coal in the USA for the first time while hyrdo is treading water.

> There will never be Rust in Chrome

There is a branch in the repository right now trying it out. Rust is also used in ChromeOS.

Mozilla is not the largest Rust user, nor does the largest user control the language. Governance is consensus-based, and anyone is eligible to join.

> You said it yourself "the only real way to get a job working on Rust was to work at Mozilla"

I may have said that a long, long time ago, but it's not true today. The Rust team at Mozilla has been shrinking, and other companies have been letting folks work on Rust as part of their job.
