> the problem mostly isn't USB-C, it's manufacturers

So can't we complain about the joint results of the manufacturers AND the USB consortium and thus label USB a failure (or a success if someday they overcome this)? I think this is turning into a true-Scotsman discussion.

how does a license server work? did you build it yourself?
You know how Firefox has a deal with Google where if you use Firefox and do a Google search and click on an ad, Firefox gets a cut of the ad money? This is sort of like that: Binance and Brave have a deal[1] where Brave promotes Binance from an in-browser widget[2], and in return Brave gets affiliate money whenever a Brave user signs up for Binance (whether by clicking on the widget or not).

In cases of affiliate hijacking, the company (and not the user) is the victim because the company is made to pay referral money when the hijacker didn't actually refer the customer. This didn't happen here because, again, Brave and Binance have a deal and Brave is operating according to that deal.

I suppose editing URLs out from under people is a little weird, so now that there's been an outcry they'll probably change it to identify Brave users by UserAgent or by injecting an HTTP header or something.

One thing I appreciate about the Blender Python API is that it follows the conventions of the wider Python ecosystem [1].

Other tools, like KiCad and FreeCAD for example, have Python APIs, but they tend to follow the conventions of the underlying C++ code. In the wider scheme of things it's pretty minor, but it the consistency is nice.

Two Treatises Of Government by John Locke:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Treatises_of_Government

>"The Second Treatise outlines a theory of civil society. Locke begins by describing the state of nature, a picture much more stable than Thomas Hobbes' state of "war of every man against every man," and argues that all men are created equal in the state of nature by God. From this, he goes on to explain the hypothetical rise of property and civilization, in the process explaining that the only legitimate governments are those that have the consent of the people."

Playing the devil’s advocate, limiting the number of bankers may make it easier* to regulate their behavior as a whole, because there are fewer of them to monitor/investigate. Predatory or exclusionary lending can be difficult to detect and curb already: increasing the number of actors to regulate may make it near-impossible. What are your thoughts on protecting borrowers in a web-scale marketplace of lenders?

In my experience, it is very hard to get companies to even admit what the real cost of open sourcing something like this is. Lots of them just don't even want to talk about it or show their estimates at all, they just say "we will never open source" like Qualcomm does and the conversation goes nowhere. Even if the price is very high and it takes many years, we still need to start somewhere. Then the industry as a whole can chip away at it slowly, because even very slow progress is better than nothing at all. And what's even worse than no progress is if we just give up and sit around waiting for some other company like Google or Apple to foot 100% of the bill to redo all the work over again from scratch.
From my perspective, none of them. The browser is reasonably fast, and you can still share bookmarks and logins with other installations if you create a Mozilla account (or host your own sync server!).

But, from my perspective, just having uBlock Origin installed in the extensions is a huge differentiator, that gives most pages a lot of speedup. Stylus can also be helpful to fix some suboptimal mobile designs.
I'm working through Crafting Interpreters right now, converting the Java to Python as I go. Most things are fairly straight forward to convert, but there are definitely some topics that I've had to learn about in Java (not a language I know very well) so I could figure out how to do it in Python. Really great book and great learning project.
So basically, when CloudFlare was making the decision to adopt Nomad, they had already adopted Consul and had already built in-house a custom scheduler (unimog) for their customer traffic.

It's rather disingenuous to compare to Kubernetes-based installations by pointing out that Nomad is a single Go binary that's easy to install, because they're also running Consul and unimog. For what it's worth, kubelet (which schedules jobs, like Nomad) is also a single Go binary that's easy to install, as is kube-proxy (which helps services running on a node to send traffic to the right node, so, roughly analogous to Consul).

If anything, the author practically makes the case against Nomad. Practically speaking, the only reason why CloudFlare adopted Nomad is because the stars aligned on their stack. Most companies will actually reduce complexity by adopting Kubernetes instead, compared to running two different schedulers for jobs and externally-managed service discovery.

I actually have one burning question if you don't mind answering:

Pulumi has two different k8s modules, the standard one (pulumi-kubernetes) and "kubernetes-x" which has a much nicer API that reduces boilerplate:

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetesx

The second one doesn't seem to be used in the Pulumi tutorial content and has less stars/recognition.

Are these interchangeable? If so, why not use @pulumi/kubernetesx instead of the standard k8s module everywhere?

Shrine – A TempleOS Distro for Heretics
Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one. And exactly - it's such a massive jump that it deserves a careful look, which it doesn't seem like it really has gotten so far. I'm not saying it's going to give people cancer, but we just don't know what it may or may not do. Maybe there are absolutely no side effects. Maybe it's even beneficial to health! Hell, exposure to enough EM radiation in the hundreds of nanometers range is actually a requirement for human health.

But maybe it has a negative effect on anything from birds to bacteria to humans, and I think it's worth investigating that before we deploy it extremely rapidly in all of the world's cities.

I mean, the #1 post on HN right now is how highly skilled engineers accidentally made the Golden Gate Bridge emit a loud noise that's blanketing the Bay Area. And that's a bridge, which humans have been building for some 20,000 years. And it's made out of one thing - steel - which we generally understand very well.

I really hope there will be no side effects. But the chance that there will scares me a bit. 5G will be rapidly rolled out at enormous, unprecedented scale and density in nearly all the big world cities - and in 2020 most of the world lives in cities.
Ooh, that’s a good one because I tend to post then edit, edit, edit, so a little delay would be nice. Thanks for the suggestion!
There are local communities around the world that run their own credit lines for exchange of goods outside of the banking system, so it's not that Offset is enabling something that isn't happening already. Maybe the software is more convenient but is it any more different? I'm trying to understand. My question is what's preventing few people accumulating trust and credit lines and eventually becoming bankers for this system? Everybody needs bread, but those that sell bread don't need javascript applications, so there has to be a middle man even in this system for me to buy bread. The current banking system exists because it has established credit lines with goods that are almost impossible to acquire without a middleman, like petroleum, electricity, infrastructure.

I worked at a Computational Population biology lab where we studied social networks. I had the idea once of how to value the amount of money a social network is worth. I also quit Facebook this month and I don't intend anything below to support any of their actions and also below is some quick calculations. The easy answer would be to say that the social network is worth whatever its net revenue is.

A lot of ways people can value social networks in general would be to first to value the network effect Facebook has.

"Metcalfe's law states the effect of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2). "[1]

The next issue would be to attempt to price the individual user. Applying Metcalf's law could give you some kind of metric.

One way to do that would be to look at Facebook's S-1 and see how much revenue they get per user. Their net income from the first quarter of 2020 is $4.9 Billion dollars. Also they had 2.6 monthly active users.

So doing the math is (2.6 billion) ^2 people / $4.9 billion dollars which is $1.38 per user[2] . Assuming everyone is connected to each other (which is unrealistic) we have an upper bound of $3.5 billion dollars.

I think someone did more analysis on how to actually apply this here.

I'd say if you see a large "FREE" button / banner / another clicky thing, the first reaction should be extreme caution and distrust. If they are trying to aggressively advertise it to you, they definitely see a way to profit off that, and the source of the profit is you.

The only exception should be things like "free and open source", but these things usually don't obnoxiously jump into your eyeballs.
Yes, we have that research from Facebook itself, which they promptly shelved.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/26/21270659/facebook-divisio...

"“Our algorithms exploit the human brain’s attraction to divisiveness,” one slide from the presentation read. The group found that if this core element of its recommendation engine were left unchecked, it would continue to serve Facebook users “more and more divisive content in an effort to gain user attention & increase time on the platform.” A separate internal report, crafted in 2016, said 64 percent of people who joined an extremist group on Facebook only did so because the company’s algorithm recommended it to them, the WSJ reports."
Jon was a jewel. He ran a quantum computing group of about a dozen people at the Jet Propulsion Lab that was next to my own group in the organization. Eventually the NASA funding in that area got too tight and the group disbanded.

Jon's group members were incredibly prolific article publishers, which always caused considerable foot-shuffling when the annual ranking (back in the day, a stack ranking, 1 thru N) was done. It was not much fun to be ranking our own group members against Jon Dowling or Colin Williams.

Our weekly meetings with those one level up in the hierarchy were a major snooze ... unless Jon was there. The dour manager could barely progress through the agenda between Jon's wisecracks and asides. (And the manager was powerless to clamp down on it because Jon was charming and a top contributor at the same time.) Nothing got done at that meeting either way, but Jon made it a lot more fun.

Isn't the ISM bands at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz? That shouldn't be interfered by 3.8 GHz 5G signals. Is it because of out-of-band intermodulation from 5G signals or because there are parts of the 3.8 GHz spectrum used by medical devices not for wireless networking but for sensing/measurements?

Hey - author of the repo here.

I'm very interested in learning how to secure anything. What we're securing may be computer-related, but it might be a painting in an art museum or a medieval castle or a ATM machine...is there a set of steps I can follow to secure it?

That's why I created this repo. I've included links to many different books and papers in this repo, as well as notes on any books and papers I've read.

This will hopefully be a lifelong curiosity for me, so if you have any other resources I should look at, please submit a pull request and I'll merge it in. The repo is very much a work in progress; I by no means have read everything that I've linked to. Let's make this a collaborative effort!

Great looking app. I tend to setup a table in Notion, and then use the chrome web clipper to add pages to it. Cmd+K and enter is all it takes. Hitting enter again takes me to the page where i can add tags or notes which make them searchable later.

The RAVPower is 50% smaller than a 13-inch MacBook Pro's AC adapter while providing the same wattage. Also, the RAVPower has two ports, a USB-C and a USB Type A so you can charge two devices at a time.

The RAVPower is also cheaper than buying a 2nd Apple AC adapter when you want to leave an adapter at your desk and have a 2nd one in your bag to use elsewhere.
Are you talking about health effects?

I don't have a study on hand but I expect the effect to be less than lower frequency waves.

First thing to get out of the way, these are not ionizing radiation. Basically, the only thing electromagnetic waves up to visible light can do is heat. UV is borderline.

The question is what they heat. The general idea is that the lower the wavelength, the deeper the penetration. 2/3/4G frequencies will heat your insides, 50 GHz will only heat your skin. Of course the power is so that under normal conditions, the heating is negligible.

As for the effect of millimeter waves, while testing this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System they subjected people to massive (100kW!) doses of 95 GHz radiation. High enough to actually burn you, and yet, the adverse effects were minimal.

If you are talking about technical problems, like interference, and how to deal with radio waves that are starting to act a bit like light. I guess that 5G is designed by people who know what they are doing. Simply that we are able to make it work is almost like a miracle to me.

Yeah, I don't use static analysis tools to "grade" my code. I use them to automatically find simple issues I might have overlooked. If ESLint doesn't find any issues, it doesn't mean my Javascript is actually good. It just means it isn't bad in the ways ESLint is looking for.
I support what the police are doing to handle the protestors, but if I speak out against that I'm labeled as a racist or a bootlicker or any other deriding comment the protestors want to label me. It's fine, I can take the behavior, I'll hold space while they let out their rage and then I'll embrace them again just like I would my own child. And one day they'll look back at themselves and wonder why it was so easy for them to be emotionally triggered.

I may be misunderstanding your point, but couldn't the USB-based pairing that Apple uses for their keyboards and mice solve functionally all of these issues?

There's no dongle (they're bluetooth) and pairing is dead simple (plug it in once and it's available everywhere). I don't think I've ever seen a security analysis of their peripherals, but the potential for a mitm attack on the keyboard seems like it would be equal to or lower than a wired version.

This assumes, of course, that you're using Apple products across the board but it is a solution nonetheless.
I've been using Brave for this reason too on desktop. I installed opera for the first time in years last week, very nicely surprised. Fast, chrome based browser. The extension bar on the left is a useful add-on. I'll be removing Brave after this news and be using Firefox mainly, with opera as my 2nd browser.
Brave is really not solving any problem. People that truly want ads removed so they don’t get tracked or bothered, should simply install Firefox. It’s a brilliant browser regardless, and being developed and supported by a non for profit with a proven track record is what makes it trustworthy.

Brave can’t compete with that and Eich is not somebody anyone should rally behind in respect to ethical choices, or moral example. His personal choices to support legislation that will deny basic human rights from the LGBTQ community is a BIG clue.
A full programming language gives too much flexibility. In particular, this includes the flexibility allowing to shoot oneself in the foot.

A person who constantly works with computers is painfully aware of the people's ability to screw things up by an honest mistake when programming them. The more complex the thing, the easier it is to make a mistake, because human attention is finite.

Whenever you can limit the language to the task at hand, and build in guard rails that would prevent you from doing things you should not be doing, it's usually a productivity win, even if it precludes implementation of 3% of some most advanced and complex solutions. Reliability and simplicity go hand in hand, and reliability is often the thing devops people value very highly.
