Per capita doesn't matter at all in this context though. If you were looking to immigrate to a country, you would have a better chance at getting in to the country that accepts 1 million people per year rather than the one that accepts 1,000 per year. The current population of each country is not a factor.
IMO Flash was already languishing and Steve's criticisms were valid.

It was a big deal when Steve made the call, but I'm not sure the call was a random act of Steve as much as, Flash was hardly in great shape.

It was home to a lot of content you couldn't find elsewhere, but Apple not supporting flash didn't happen in a vacuum.
How does the HN sorting algorithm work when this goes from top page to the bottom of the second page despite having by far the most points and is also a relatively fresh post?
Fair enough. Asking personal questions out of idle curiosity is something I tend to be sensitive to, so I apologize if I seemed overly harsh.
Unrelated, but has there been any push to require a "reason for this law" section for every law put on the books?

It seems to me like a simple requirement to make legislators be explicit why a law is on the books would be of tremendous service to the public, the judges, and others involved. And it would cost almost nothing (it does not take a long time to write up a "commit message" of why a "code change" is happening).
I'd be curious to know how this will stack up against the EV3 system. It's also interesting that they include 4 motors, ultrasonic and color sensors, but no touch sensor.

EDIT: other interesting notes: the motors have absolute positioning, and the stuff uses new connectors.
> You want to rewrite parts the language because a few people are offended?

No I don't. I want to use the word denylist instead of blacklist. So do other people and companies. Other words have gone in and out of fashion without rewriting parts of the language. Yes, the slippery slope logical fallacy definitely applies here. You are greatly exaggerating what's happening or what could happen as the result of using a word with a clearer meaning, in professional settings.

> the history of the term whitelist/blacklist, they are not rooted racially.

The continued use of the word black to mean "evil" in the workplace and white to mean "good" while those terms both also apply to people's race is the history of the past few decades. In a society where people are being systemically oppressed on the basis of race. And it just so happens "coincidentally" that it is the oppressed minority that gets to hear that the same name for their race means "evil" on a regular basis at work. No thanks.

> Do you realize how often people are offended at the most miniscule and obnoxious things?

> This isn't PoC crying for change.

Choose one?

PoC are asking for change about these specific terms, and it came up as early as the 1970s. This has been an ongoing conversation that you have not been a part of. A simple search will help you educate yourself about the specific PoC who have complained in various formats including scholarly articles, presentations at public meetings, as well as editorials, and blogs. In addition to these specific terms, the larger subject under which this falls is microagressions, and you will find countless sources from PoC talking about that issue and why it is important to fix.

And are doing it out of their own pocket. Uber isn't paying them to clean unless someone pukes in the car, and they certainly don't get anything to cover wear and tear and maintenance. However, drivers need to maintain a clean vehicle or else they get a poor rating and are forced out of the system, and need to maintain a working vehicle or else they cannot work that day. When you start to factor that in, your rate as a driver sinks like a stone.

The Canadian model for business isn't all that great.

It doesn't do a great job of serving the country's social needs, and it also doesn't do a great job of producing competitive businesses.

There's a fair number of public funds that get funneled into unproductive firms through things like innovation grants, and there's a lot of protectionism for incompetent incumbents. All of this seems to enrich a small class of elites, at the expense of the public purse. Most Canadians just shrug their shoulders at all this, and move on with life.

reference counting is reference counting.

a reference counting gc is a form of garbage collection.

not sure what applies here, as am not versed in objc, but, the terms are distinct - in theory one can have an object system that refcounts objects so that they are not mis-deleted if some reference still exists and the object is accidentally deleted by some code, but still allow for mostly-manual memory management.

The communist countries seen a huge misallocation of funds into giant projects that didn't make sense (e.g. huge steel mills in Poland that were always losing money).
It is sex discrimination to refuse to hire someone due to them being married to a woman if you would hire someone of that person's opposite sex despite them being married to a woman.

To be even more explicit about this, an employer cannot refuse to higher only married lesbians. A cisgender man married to a woman could bring a suit for sex discrimination.

Discrimination is defined by what's called "disparate treatment," that is, treating individuals differently because of their sex. It doesn't relate to what is legally permissible outside that situation.
In the end you have to play to your strengths and do what you enjoy. If you think you would like a sales role and a sales driven company, then go for it. If not, you are spinning your wheels for a chance to glean something. If it's an avenue you would take anyway, then you have more possible positive outcomes.
I know the job requirements. I was asked to interview with them, thanks to my technical background and presentation skills, I was offered the role.

It might be nostalgia talking, but those years felt like the end of a golden age.

I went to university at 17 in 2001 with a Dell notebook and a self built Duron (IIRC) tower. Instead of partying, I used my new found freedom (and decent internet connection) to try every OS and piece of software I could get my hands on (though I never stumbled across BeOS). I spent the most time with Windows 2000 Server on the notebook (as a "client") and Redhat on the tower (as a "server").

It was a different time then. Lot's of free time, huge explosion in open source software, basically no network security or limitations.

It is going to be very interesting to watch how this trial proceeds - if indeed, Julian doesn't succumb to the Belmarsh torture and perishes, before the trial can run its course.

For those of us who have been paying attention to Julian for decades, the turning of public opinion against him has been a very fascinating lesson in Western hubris.

I think the most important conclusion of all of this is that a) the US government thinks it has what it takes to continue to commit war crimes and other crimes against humanity with impunity, and b) those who pick up the mantel from Julian's passing will have learned a lot from his case.

Most important of all, I believe that c) the leaks will continue. It is going to be a very rough time, given todays climate, for those who continue to slavishly support the US military industrial pharmaceutical complex' crimes against humanity. Julians' heinous treatment just means, when the leaks continue, it'll be with the gloves off. There won't be a loud, obvious flamboyant cult figurehead to depose - more than likely, the leaker strategy going forward from this point onwards, will be a lot more effective.

One can hope, anyway. Until the American people prosecute their war criminals and faces justice for the crimes against humanity committed in their name, and for which they are thus responsible, the American people will continue to suffer as well. A nation ruled by war criminals is a victim of its own cowardice.
Decentralization Off the Shelf: 7 Maxims
The potential of decentralization to contribute to a more equal society is huge. Where government and corporate control of information are causing harm, decentralized technologies can give power back through new data ownership and governance models. So why are these technologies not more widely adopted? What are the main obstacles to decentralization, and how can we solve them?

In our latest research report, Decentralization Off the Shelf: 7 Maxims, we interviewed 53 practitioners and led workshops with a total of 85 participants to find out. Here are the 7 key changes we need.

We're keen to hear your reactions. What resonates? What seems new? How does it relate to your work?
Agreed, $99/year may seem reasonable for all the features and principles but for most users on Gmail and Outlook, it's a steep entry fee. Probably intentional for initial launch so that mostly power users try it out.

I think a different approach would've made it $49/year and have additional features as add-ons. That way users can opt in and only pay for things that they want. Also gives the dev team signals on what features are most desired.

There is no proof that those leaks have put Americans at risk so far, and many years have passed.

Yes, and a bankrupt pile of garbage is not one of them, as any even half-sophisticated investor would tell you. You don't need to be up to your neck in 30-years to know buying a bankrupt company is a bad investment.

This is honestly not something I thought I'd ever have to type out in words on a forum full of tech folks.
The modern web bloat has just been due to huge amounts of JavaScript becoming common - if you compared basic video playback it was normally at least a factor of two worse playing the same video in Flash, which often meant the difference between dropping frames or playing smoothly.

The big win was avoiding all of the crashes: every browser raced to move Flash out of the browser process because it was so common for Flash to crash and take the browser with it, and many of those were exploitable.
A better analogy would be a thief broke into my home, and stole cash, jewelry, electronics and also a handgun that had been used in a crime.

The prosecutors are absolutely right to prosecute the thief, but upon discovering that I had the handgun used in a crime they really should look into that too.
>they are projecting US-centric views on to the wider world innit?

Projecting, maybe, but at the same time the last few weeks have shown there's a not insignificant amount of people in other Western countries who are addicted to American culture, latched closely to the teat, who are all too eager to have American issues imported into their own societies.
> Anonymous end-to-end encrypted

End to end encryption implies that you have established an encrypted connection with a known participant and secured it by verifying your keys either off-band or via some CA provider to prevent MitM attack.

If your chat partner is anonymous, and your only connection is via offered service, there is no way to determine if you are being spoofed.

So anonymous end-to-end encryption is an oxymoron. I wish people would drop this e2ee fetish, insisting it everywhere, and would learn how it works, so they would be using the real thing where it makes sense, instead of opting for readily supplied snake oil.
I don't get it why my Windows 10 installation is still downloading updates for Flash Player. I deselected it in some setting which was to be found somewhere (Windows 10 settings are a horrible maze), but for some reason it still thinks it needs to protect me from this deactivated piece of malware.
Why should they be preserved? Why should it stick around forever?

The "useful tools" have been replaced with better tools available today. It's the same reason why most people don't use a rock and chisel to build a house - better tools exist and older tools have been abandoned or mentioned in history books.

Plenty of games, musical bands, and artwork over the last century have been lost to time and forgotten. There's plenty of Jazz music in the 1930's and 40's that was never recorded to paper or vinyl. And that's OK. People moved on to other forms of art.
This comports well with my memory of the time. I remember there being a lot of "Flash sucks" sentiment online, but no decent alternatives. The days of entire UIs done in Flash was largely over by 2010, IIRC, but there were still things like video playback that couldn't be handled easily without Flash. I remember explicitly installing Flash on Linux, simply so I could watch Youtube with relatively little friction. In my mind, by that time, that was the main purpose of having Flash around at all.

I am really glad HTML 5 has matured to the point that it has. Not having to have an entirely separate runtime environment running in the browser window makes things so much more stable than before. Now, if only we could figure out a way to make having lots of tabs not be painful, and maybe get a bit of a handle on memory usage, I think I might very well be out of things to complain about in terms of basic browser usability. ;)

First off, I absolutely love the photo of the cops dancing with the protestor.

Secondly, you should flesh out your description of what qualified immunity is so people have an understanding of what being for or against it really means. Please feel free to use parts of the explanation I posted here previously:

Lets say you want to build a deck. You put together the plans, take them
to the planning commission, and they rightfully reject it for being
structurally unsound.

Qualified immunity is what prevents you from personally suing each member
of the planning commission to pressure them in to reversing their decision.
Think of it like the legal system throwing an exception, we aren't even
going to consider this because your beef is with the city not an individual
employee.

Police have qualified immunity because otherwise they would face personal
lawsuits every time they wrote a rich guy a speeding ticket, or a convicted
murderer has nothing better to do but get his law degree in prison.

Qualified immunity does not protect civil servants from criminal charges,
or when a disinterested party (someone who does not stand to benefit from
the case, say the ACLU or NAACP) files suit.
> Would this be considered anti-competitive today?

Disallowing a technology that is controlled by one company in favor of a technology that is standardized and can be and is implemented by many companies? I can't see how you even begin to think this is anti-competitive.

(I do think that there's a lot problematic about apple's lockdown approach to devices. I think you can make an argument that the whole approach of device lockdown is problematic and should face some regulation. But picking out the flash deprecation seems like an odd way to highlight that.)
I think it seems that way because of the 7:1 in the semi finals. But honestly, the result came to be mainly because Brazil was really playing like garbage the whole tournament and only made it that far because the referees had seriously helped them. They shouldn't even have made it out of the group stages.

The remaining German matches were really close (The match agains France, mentioned below, was the real final of the tournament) and even the final was very close all the way to the end. Germany also struggled against Algeria.
> They have a problem with their employer, and are being heard in the court of public opinion. Why is that "a bummer"?

The court of public opinion doesn't have a good track record, for one. It's decisions are often based on fashion more than any kind of ethical principles.

A classic exploration of this phenomenon is contained in the novel The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe.

Not too long ago the company where I worked was having a similar debate concerning services provided (through an intermediary) to ICE.

One particular facet in the discussion that stuck with me more than the rest was a comment by a co-worker who was visiting from the Berlin office.

They talked briefly about small monuments on the street by their home marking the spots where people were arrested and taken to concentration camps as their time and place of death. They pointed out that in many cases those dates are in the mid 1930s. Up to 10 years before the discovery and liberation of the death camps.

Calling ICE nazis (while still hopefully hyperbole) is not necessarily an unfounded comparison.

>However, the Gunship Video is evidence that he legally published the materials obtained

It isn't a binary choice between everything published is either legal or illegal. He could have published some legally and some illegally. People can view this specific video as being published legally while other information was published illegally and therefore only the illegally published information is covered in the indictment.
And yet, perhaps the most breathtaking display of football dominance I saw from that Germany team, was from their 2016 Euro semi-final against France. It was way more impressive than their brazil dismantling. Their control of the game was out of this world.

Football is "unstable" as a game. To dominate in a consistent way, you actually need to be overwhelming superior to your opponent in many different stages/aspects of the game. Any weak link and you are at the mercy of fate.
