Which sounds a lot like the "DNT" (do not track) or Microsoft's "P3P" (Platform for Privacy Preferences Project) headers. Which both failed, because if companies were required to respect those standards, all advertising and tracking would be extremely easy for users to opt out across the board as a single global preference.

The problem is that each site can choose its own text to display, which buttons/options it shows, and how those settings are supposedly enforced. This doesn't belong in the html of a site. This is exactly what a cross-browser preference should be doing. Which should probably be a modern–and most importantly standardized equivalent–of the P3P header. Every site should have a static set of options it can request, so users are used to accepting or declining the same set of permissions regardless of the site that is visited. Otherwise agreeing to the per-site cookie banner is just as convoluted as expecting users to read Terms and Conditions policies. I have never read the text in a cookie banner, and I never will. I click the OK/Accept button immediately, just like any T&C/ULA.

Imagine if requesting webcam, microphone, notifications, or gps/location permissions were possible by a site including its own custom banner, and if you clicked OK/Accept, it immediately got access to those features. Of course browsers don't allow this, because sites would abuse it and trick users into granting permissions when not desired. Instead, your browser provides a standardized prompt for requesting such permissions. There is no reason for tracking cookies to be exempt from being required to follow the same model.

If they're prohibited from treating credits from non-regionally accredited schools differently, then I suspect schools will put into place policies that are not "blanket" policies, but instead policies that dictate individual evaluation of each student, which will turn out to accomplish the same thing. Which really wouldn't be great, but also would filter out a lot of people of questionable academic credentials: regionally accredited schools generally meet some minimum standards, while non-regionally accredited schools are a crap shoot: some are just fine, but many are awful degree mills that don't even grade work beyond assigning an "A" for any submission.

Still remember the day the first time tuning Turbo Pascal (and later Turbo Prolog). How can that be so fast?

Fiber actually has limitations based on the length of the cable. Photons that travel perfectly straight arrive faster than photons that enter the cable at a steep angle and bounce off the walls a lot. Because of this, as you increase transmission rate, you start to get interference between signals, and instead of a clear On-Off, you start to get various degrees of brightness until the signal becomes too degraded.
FEC does not perform miracles. It only trades off some throughput for a few orders of magnitude in BER. FEC can also be defeated by common types of distortions. If you get a spike of alien crosstalk then you aren’t going to just get one bit error, so you really do need that high fidelity connection if you don’t want your link to shit the bed in the real world.

68k to PPC was exactly "going from a popular architecture with broad software support to a less-popular architecture". ARM today is waaaaaaaaaaaay more popular than PowerPC ever was, and nearly infinitely more popular than when Apple switched from 68k, and 68k was very popular back then.

> Why is it fine?

> And why abolish copyright?

Because these days a world without copyright is how things are in practice. Copyright infringement is trivial. People do it even unintentionally. Might as well stop pretending and just accept the consequences. We just can't go back to how things were before computers and the internet. If the result is less creation overall, then we must accept that.

Enforcing copyright in the 21st century requires sacrificing computing freedom as we know it today. Computers would only execute approved "lawful" software. Subversive programs which do things like play movies without consulting the rights holders first would be banned. That would surely mean the end of playful hacking and the free and open source software community. I don't think anyone here wants that outcome. I certainly don't. So I defend the end of copyright.

I've been warned before about ideological discussion on HN so I will refrain from elaborating further. I apologize.
Yes, taking good notes and having a good system of review and summarization is a very good skill.

Which note taking application do you use? I couldn't tell from the article if a specific application was mentioned.
Is it out of control though? The police has 700K members in the US. Millions of daily interactions with people of all kinds. All you could find is 400 cases from ALL the years. And I guess the claim is brutality wasn't justified in every single case. In reality there are not 400 cases on that list, and in many cases the violence was justified.

I'm not saying the police doesn't do wrong, they absolutely do. We have examples of rapes, unjustified murders and beatings, entrapment. They are extremely rare. I think last year the police in the US killed 9 unarmed black men and 21 unarmed white men.
Thanks! Yeah, I passed this part of Mac history right by.
Of course they do! Private mercenaries, prisons, banks, repo companies, landlords, insurance providers, all kinds... of course they do. Corporations were initially an arm of the state to do state functions. They still do that today.

What corporations don't have is any obligation to cede to the public demand or be held accountable for their actions. There's no democratic control, no way they can be fired by the voter nor do they have any responsibility of transparency.

Voting systems, red light cameras, municipal water, nearly every aspect is controlled by private corporations shirking responsibility oftentimes for decades. Polluting a town's water supply and walking away pretending they didn't - there's even many well known movies about things like this with academy awards. Often the criminals get away with it having hid under the legal fiction of the corporation.

If a secretive unaccountable private corporation determining the outcome of an election and claiming the audit trail is a trade secret doesn't ruffle your libertarian feathers then there's something seriously wrong.

What you claimed is yet another silly thing I've been hearing my whole life. It's totally wrong. Any inspection would immediately reveal this
The argument I'm responding to is one that says people are wrong about brains being computers because people always believe they can make brains out of technology of the day. My point is that all of these things are the same theory, and it is one that has not been disproven.

If a brain cannot be produced in a turing machine, it must perform some non-computable activity. That would mean physics cannot be accurately simulated in a computer, which I believe would be earth-shaking in that world. That brains can be reproduced in a simulation is a default assumption, that something composed of molecules can produce outcomes that cannot be computed is an extraordinary claim, for which, I believe, there is no evidence.
Thank you; that makes sense
“ADD” isn’t a disorder in DSM-V.
"An adhesion contract is a contract drafted by one party (usually a business with stronger bargaining power) and signed by another party (usually one with weaker bargaining power, usually a consumer in need of goods or services). The second party typically does not have the power to negotiate or modify the terms of the contract. Adhesion contracts are commonly used for matters involving insurance, leases, deeds, mortgages, automobile purchases, and other forms of consumer credit.

Courts carefully scrutinize adhesion contracts and sometimes void certain provisions because of the possibility of unequal bargaining power, unfairness, and unconscionability. Factoring into such decisions include the nature of the agreement, the possibility of unfair surprise, lack of notice, unequal bargaining power, and substantive unfairness. Courts often use the “doctrine of reasonable expectations” as a justification for invalidating parts or all of an adhesion contract: the weaker party will not be held to adhere to contract terms that are beyond what the weaker party would have reasonably expected from the contract, even if what he or she reasonably expected was outside the strict letter of agreement."

Trying to negotiate (in writing) and getting it denied makes it abundantly clear it is a contract of adhesion. This significantly weakens the contract's validity on abnormal clauses.
I'm curious when/if there will be a drive to displace OpenSSL with RusTLS. I'm also unsure how many remote exploits have come down to TLS implementations, but it seems that it's such a core part of system security, any drive towards providing a library more safe from exploit is a good goal. Also, would be interesting to see performance differences.

Finding a life partner is not easy. I suggest not adding "must be ok without a diamond ring" to your criteria. Also, communicate beforehand rather than taking a stand on an issue she will literally wear for life and expecting her to accede.

I say this as someone who likes the idea of moissanite, but relented to getting an "ethical" diamond from Canada (there is some dispute about provenance of these diamonds).

In other words, this isn't a hill to die on.
> becoming unusably bad for many languages

I presume that is not due to a failure of the ML, but instead is often due to the lack of a good corpus of text, or the lack of appropriate manual training/nudging/correcting of the model for unprofitable languages.
The hard part of that would probably be getting unauthorized access to the photos in order to modify them in place, rather than the adversarial image perturbation per-se.
Hydrogen leaks in an oxygen atmosphere (like the one here on earth) are pretty dangerous, as they are effectively invisible in daylight, due to almost all the energy going directly to infrared. Due to that NASA test engineers used to walk with a broom in front of them in areas where hydrogen leaks could happen. If the broom suddenly caught fire, there was a burning hydrogen leak in front of the engineer! A picture of this can be seen here:

https://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff1997/ps1.html

Not just leaks, hydrogen can destroy the structure of many metals and make them brittle:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_embrittlement

And another issue is the very low density - you van see it with hydrolox rockets, how big they are & how their liquid hydrogen tanks are compared to the LOX tanks. This adds up in tank weight, removing some of the energy/density benefits. This is one of the reasons many next gen rockets are opting for liquid methane instead of liquid hydrogen.
Totally agree with you. I think the industry is going through an "emperor has no clothes" thing with unit tests and dependency inversion at the moment.

The creator of BDD gave this talk a few years ago, which resonated with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y0tOi7QWqM

> it occurred to me that it would actually be kind of great to write tests where the entire implementation including the language itself could be swapped out without really changing the tests.

This is exactly what I've been doing and advocating for for a while. Don't mock things like databases at all in your code. If you want to use a mock, use a "first class" mock like https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/emulator.

The other thing is that TDD was born in a world where containers aren't the norm. All the pain of higher level testing really comes up from setting up an appropriate environment. If you're already using Docker or k8s, that pain is pretty much 0.

This won't be a popular statement, but archivers don't have a legal right to reproduce websites, either. I imagine archive.today is on even shakier ground via bypassing newspaper paywalls. archive.org operates under an opt-out policy which is not how copyright works, and archive.today operates under a "f### you" policy. It's just that website operators haven't chosen to take legal action against this practice.

I understand the innate desire of people to have a "better to ask forgiveness than permission" view of saving old web content (because we all enjoy finding out the thing we thought we lost forever by not backing up ourselves was in fact recoverable), but either copyright law exists or it doesn't. If you want a secure future, make archivers opt-in via a meta tag on pages to indicate the content is under a permissible share-alike license.

I'd like to see how many poorer men in general. I'm a black engineer and I couldn't count how many of my classmates would have graduated if they were in my shoes.

There were 4-5 weeks at different where I just ran out money and sat on bed instead of eating thinking I couldn't be hungry is I was sleep. I usually found enough money to collect to buy a bag of rice for the month. But regardless of race this is hard. Given there no attempt to help anyone with anything as simple as a food shelter on college campus why would they stay.

It's kind of un-nerving watching some engineers friends discuss this. It's kind of arrogant and presumptuous. I'm not even close to the smart person I grew up with. When they discuss that maybe black people may not have the intellect, that I know a guy who was forced to work a meat packing plant that could run circles around you in any STEM subject, but wasn't given the opportunity or was willing to starve himself for the chance.

I think the US leaves a lot of talent on the cutting room floor especially those interested in subject we deem essential. It's pretty saddening.

> In order to enforce copyright in the 21st century, computing freedom must be sacrificed.

I'm not sure this is true. The publishers aren't demanding that Internet Archive add DRM to their e-books - they're demanding that Internet Archive stop distributing them entirely. I can certainly imagine a world where DRM-free e-books are the norm and unlicensed distribution is limited only by legal threat and not by technical means. Yes, the fact that information can now be copied instantly for free (it could previously be copied with some time and effort with a photocopier, or with typewriters samizdat-style, or with pen and paper monk-style) means the publishers are less confident that legal threat will be enough... but we did mostly end up in a world where DRM-free music is easily available.

But also, physical books aren't going away. As long as you can buy physical books, you can participate in a world of copyrighted books without running DRM agents on your computer. You miss out on some potential 21st-century gains like having the text of the book in electronic format and being able to share it without spending some time at a scanner, but you haven't lost anything you had in the 20th century.

(Also on the topic of computing freedom, how do we get the benefits of the GPL - especially receiving things like source code - if we no longer have copyright?)
Yes, but this was only for Visual Basic. Delphi, MFC and WinForms each have their own and is just a library. JavaScript also had libraries since, if nothing else, you can always load multiple scripts per html page.

Also, FWIW, i wasn't only referring to JavaScript but also server-side too (e.g. PHP or Python or whatever).
Didn't mention anything specific, but I use a regular google doc that I just update on a weekly basis. It does the job for me.
If you don't care about user control, why would you be using Linux at all? When you hit a bug in a flatpak or snap, what are you going to do? E.g. on Linux you now just can't input Japanese text in Slack and there's no way to fix this.
> To begin with, Google's main accomplishment is ads.

Google's ad business doesn't exist in a vacuum. AdWords is a license to print money because Google search is so good. Without Google Search, Google's ad business would be <10% of what it currently is. So how can you argue that's not an accomplishment?

AdWords is about the only form of online advertising that I personally have no issue with. You have the intent of the user to find something and they've told you what they're looking for. As long as an ad is clearly marked as such, I have no issue with including ads in search results. It may be what the user is looking for.

> When Amazon steps into a market, everyone is terrified.

Like the other giants, there are things Amazon is good at and things they are not good at. Prime Video (which you mention) is no Netflix and honestly only exists because it was bundled with a service actually want (ie Prime free 2-day shipping).

> They also have owned IMDB since forever, and it's quite cool that they've allowed it to remain a great resource for movie enthusiasts!

IMDB, for me, has reached the point where I'll prefer Wikipedia if at all possible. Particularly on mobile, I tend to find it's a horrible experience. On mobile you have the extra step of "see full cast". Finding TV episode synopses and cast is always an exercise in "where have they hidden it this week". I'd say it's stagnated, if anything.

I do respect the Amazon strategy of acquiring leading lead-generating sites (eg dpreview). That's not typically what Google does. More often than not, Google is acquiring the talent rather than the tech. It's a different strategy and not necessarily worse.

> Amazon has its issues as well,

That's an understatement. Amazon has a counterfeit product problem that I'm honestly shocked hasn't made them the target of some AG investigation yet. Dodgy sellers buy up product pages for a good product and replace it with something crappy, keeping all the reviews. Amazon also prefers their own products in a way that's arguably anticompetitive. Amazon provides logistical services that i've certainly read some horror stories about (eg look into the Louqe Ghost S1 US distribution through Amazon).

Amazon's stranglehold on online selling is (IMHO) the best case out of any the tech giants for anticompetitive behaviour.

As a user and someone who knows nothing about flatpak other than "it can install apps" what you said is true. I use flatpak and appimage because they allow me to use software without cluttering my /bin and other root subdirectories. And also because I can install with them software that my distro does not include in its repositories. All resides in my home and it's easy to remove without leaving any traces. I didn't know flatpak apps were supposed to be sandboxed until I read this article when it was posted a few years ago. Whenever I want to sandbox something I use firejail.
Many AI systems are used in the backend to increase revenue. Netflix has a very complex recommendation algorithm based on deep learning/statistics. Amazon uses a lot of machine learning to optimize transportation (NP-hard problem!) , sales, etc..
> So, I guess my misc advice is to find some sort of responsibility that forces you to get up early.

What I find is that my judgement is impaired in the morning - and that I don’t act rationally: it’s like I prefer that nice feeling in my head I get when I’m half asleep - if I had responsibilities I’d just disregard them because at that point in time I value being in bed more than anything else.
