Containers are the API hack we put in because we couldn't change POSIX. The isolation and packaging were available in 90's era capability-based OSes (and 70's mainframe OSes), but backwards compatibility is more important than anything else, so we build matryoshkas of OSes inside OSes.
Maybe Google can learn a thing or two about how to do a recommendation engine that actually works for YouTube.
It may actually become a trend. For well known reasons:

- Community

- Nginx served us well for almost a decade. But it didn’t adapt to current development best-practices

- Operationally Nginx was quite expensive to maintain

- C++

- Observability and monitoring

Re: the added question on "integrated systems": your VM hypervisor will map a device tree for VM guests as well, this is how QEMU and other hypervisors expose virtio devices to guests as well.

Yeah, it's brick-and-mortal terminology.
Hopefully nobody is surprised by this.

Not simply because of the cesspool that most social media has become. But because of the centuries-old saying, "You get what you pay for."

Don't want to pay for professional journalists to do real reporting? Then you don't get to find out what's going on. It's common sense.
The only solution to what the article is ranting about is to grow the ecosystem. Move it beyond all kinds of banking. Move it beyond all kinds of finance. Move it beyond all kinds of any specific industry or endeavor. Otherwise, we'll continue to have people ranting about cars because people drive to and from some kinds of jobs the article writers think are bad.

The co-founder and I are good at figuring out product together, but we lack sales and fund-raising abilities and that's what this exec will bring. I have to mention here we were both a part of a startup studio that spins out companies and pays salaries to the founding team so he and I both got a salary. However to join this company I gave up my job at a FAANG like company where i had unvested stock (that has since doubled) and 40% more base salary.

EMV is the standard for the debit/credit cards with chips. It includes modes with PINs, signatures, and neither, depending on the configuration of the card (i.e. the bank) and the reader (i.e. the shop's bank/intermediary).

Its not really a social media network, like the others in the list. You don't broadcast personal messages to your friends, and update a feed/homepage with personal info. Sort of like pinterest, and if I am missing these hidden giants please bring them up(I may have missed some).
All the benefits of brick and mortar retail shopping basically disappear when you add all the friction and hassle of wearing masks, standing apart from people, avoiding contact, etc. The shopping experience of going to a mall, trying on clothes, etc or a chatting it up with a clerk at a video game store is not matched by ecommerce, but in the current situation, buying online saves even more trouble or time than it normally would. It's very unfortunate. I fear that so many businesses will never recover.
Anxiety induced shopping is a real thing. Leisure travel is another huge wallet share that’s been nonexistent for several months now.
There is no such thing as "split price". You get 4 shares for each share you previously owned, and it's up to the market to resume trading at a new level. It's a non-event, really, except it makes some operations easier.
Dart's package manager (Pub) uses an SAT solver to find possible solutions, and even more impressively, to describe why a dependency can't be fulfilled:

Because dropdown >=2.0.0 depends on icons >=2.0.0 and root depends
on icons <2.0.0, dropdown >=2.0.0 is forbidden.

And because menu >=1.1.0 depends on dropdown >=2.0.0, menu >=1.1.0
is forbidden.

And because menu <1.1.0 depends on dropdown >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 which
depends on intl <4.0.0, every version of menu requires intl
<4.0.0.

So, because root depends on both menu >=1.0.0 and intl >=5.0.0,
version solving failed.

Also this part is very weak:

> When a service enables SMS-2FA, an attacker can simply move to a different service. This means that a new attack isn’t necessary, just a new service.

If you implement 2FA you do it to protect the user account on your service, not all services.
True, but U2F is still a better choice.

While telcos may eventually fix the broken protocols, it's likely to be decades before that has rolled out widely.

In the meantime attackers are going to automate telecom hacks.. why not?

That said, for simple services sending a single use password by email or SMS is quite easy :)
My hairdresser does so for reservations, and it's working out fine.. Nobody cares of that account is hacked anyways.
Yeah, but that sort of punts the question of "how does the [firmware] code figure out what CPU is being used", unless that's backed into the firmware at build time.
> Facebook was the last Silicon Valley company to create something that literally has disrupted the way we live and interact.

I feel completely out of the loop. What has facebook created that is so impactful ?

I see them as a company that incrementaly executed better than the previous social networks and successfully killed/absorbed competition. But is there any critical thing they really created from the end user point of view ?
The important part about ascent from depth is ratio of pressure at initial depth to decompression stop depth. So 10m to surface is 2x, 20m to 10m is 1.5x, and with depth the ratio becomes smaller and smaller. It's the last 10-20m of ascent which are the most critical WRT decompression illness (and this is also the reason why even recreational divers who do not need decompression still do safety stop at 4-6m). Placing the lab at 18m down is a good balance between dramatic reduction in decompression time for deeper dives and simpler (cheaper, more reliable, etc) life support systems, as well as ability to get in and out within a reasonable time. To reduce the need to decompress after staying at the station the atmosphere there could be enriched in oxygen. At deeper locations you'd need to seriously worry about long-term oxygen toxicity (and thus use helium mixes, which is both expensive and brings other issues, the first being the need to certify divers for use of mixed gasses - that requires training way in excess of what most researchers would have).

(Full disclosure: I'm a technical diver:)
If someone from the Vivaldi teams reaches this comment section, I have a few questions.

As I understand it, the major reason you don’t publish everything as open-source is to protect the Vivaldi brand, which you feel would be difficult because Vivaldi is not yet a household name:

> When it comes to large projects that have been around for long enough or are household names, people won’t take notice of the fork.

> However, as Vivaldi is still small and could be easily overshadowed, this makes our brand more vulnerable and not just in terms of revenue.

Does that mean that if Vivaldi became as well-known as Firefox or Safari, you’d be open to open-sourcing everything?

> only 5% is our UI closed-source code.

> (…)

> If a new project based on our code implements features that are fundamentally against our ethics (damaging to human rights or to the environment in some way, for instance)

Can you provide a concrete example on how a malicious actor could damage human rights or the environment from browser UI code (HTML+CSS+JS on the Desktop, Chromium’s Java UI on Android)?

> there is some security-relevant code in the UI as well. If you think that specific security-relevant parts of the UI should be open-sourced to make Vivaldi more trustworthy, let us know and we’ll consider putting it out as part of our code bundles, so you can check it for yourselves.

Even though I’d be unlikely to personally review it, yes, I do think that’s important.

I will note that I’m not a Vivaldi user partly because I don’t feels its open-source components are shared adequately. Browsing the code is an inconvenient task: it has to be downloaded as a single 1.5GB tarball from a webpage (https://vivaldi.com/source/), which means code changes aren’t simple to track when compared to getting a GitHub/GitLab notification of changes and analysing the latest commits.

In other words, it’s impractical for someone to investigate your code out of curiosity. It becomes a chore, something you have to decide to consciously carve a piece of time for, meaning less people will do it.
On the ubiquitous political ads, I had to fax something to my doctor last month. I didn't want to subscribe to something to send a single fax and all the fax services that I might have used were unavailable thanks to the lockdown. I found a service that offered free faxing with an ad on the cover sheet. I didn't think twice about it and sent the ad. The confirmation page also had an ad on it. For Trump/Pence. Now I'm terrified that the same ad was on the fax and I'm going to need to get a new doctor.
The w3 (failed) PICS rating system[1] has always fascinated me. In short: Everyone (including the author) gets to rate everything by whatever scale they want to use. Everyone gets to use ratings made by whoever they like. I could see it work as well for academics and intelectuals as bodybuilders and progamers.

One angle of my fascination was how the [rating] baby was pretty much tossed out with the bath water. It was shouted down and denounced by journalists (as for example an adult filter which ironically ended up its only application) Some journalists described a perspective as if they had a kind of tenure. They were published for so long that the idea of a rating system was just offensive. We could argue that a good rating system would use existing talent for calibration but the real question to ask imho is: If PICS was so bad, what did we get in stead? Anon 5 star ratings? Thumbs up? HN points? Number of github saved games? To say it doesn't compete with publishing in journals is somewhat of an understatement.

End of the day all we are looking for is good meta data. If note worthy people in a field want to endorse a HN topic, a blog posting, a usenet post, a tweet, a youtube video, a facebook posting or a torrent[2] real credit could go to the author.

A rating system or spec therefore could simply accommodate that process. (It should for example require the author and their endorsers make backups available.)

Journals are from the horse and carriage days. It is quite embarrassing how we didn't come up with something modern.

Even Cook underplayed the mentality these guys are working with. Yesterday, Zuckerberg essentially said that his definition of Facebook's competition includes running into a friend at the grocery store.

The wider they can cast the net, the easier it is to fend off antitrust controls, or at least the threat of them, as far as their stockholders are concerned.
It isn't, but it should be more democratic.
Possibly, but its really however the market prices it.

For example, if the theory goes that more people will want to buy apple now that the price is a "steal" (people think it's harder to 2x a big number than a small number) then it could go above that on open.
That would be consistent with ~90% marketshare, wouldn't it?
I wish those restrictions would include forcing providers to support AirPlay. Amazon Prime recently cut off airplay support (last year). ”Due to technical limitations and to improve the user experience“ but we all know it’s for business reasons or possibly DRM reasons. Netflix and other video apps followed shortly thereafter once they saw Apple didn’t retaliate. Now they all say you should use their official smart TV apps, but that doesn’t work with older Apple TV set-top boxes and it’s a worse experience all around regardless (at least in my opinion, I know some people disagree or don’t care one way or the other, but now it’s no longer an option for people like me who do prefer the AirPlay experience). AirPlay used to be one of the major selling points of iPhones for me, but now it’s only useful on pirated media where you have the .mp4 file...

(and to preempt the counterargument about just using Chromecast, for whatever reason in my experience across a multitude of devices Chromecast has always been extremely unstable, and often is more hassle than it’s worth. Nowadays I just put an iPad on my coffee table and watch that even though I have a huge TV sitting on the wall a few feet away)
Because antitrust laws are a thing.

If you make a new phone OS tomorrow and lock it down to a single store with a 99.99% cut, no one cares and it's not illegal. You don't have oligopoly.

When Apple or Google get a little too strict with their app stores, things get a lot more ambiguous.
With your proposed method, the single attack point becomes the email account.

I was not expecting an article based on a statistical study, with this title, be this well-crafted. Caveats about self-reporting data, highlights on confounding factors in the conclusion, it is really good work.

You can't take anything really interesting from this study, but at least i found a writer i believe i can trust when talking about point i'm less competent in.

For the purpose of indie log it might be sufficient to handroll a custom script that takes the snapshots and then use ffmpeg to convert them to a video.
I believe this is a false dichotomy. It's not cancerous to want to pursue e.g. advanced hardware (Oculus) or hundreds of millions of users (Instagram, WhatsApp, et c).

I refuse to believe that with capital being what it is today, there is no funded route to having e.g. 100M users that doesn't eventually involve working for the big five.

OWS has done it (in a strange way), so there are definitely some paths, if a bit weird.
Not to mention things like Bowdoin providing iPad Pros with Magic Pencil and Magic keyboard to all their students (plus paying for cellular connectivity for those students who need it). I imagine this is going to have a knock-on effect where this becomes a quasi-standard setup for remote education improving Apple's bottom line going forward.

5 billion franks, the equivalent of hundreds of billions in today's currency (the exact amount is difficult to calculate for obvious reasons). It was significant enough to promptly cause an asset bubble in Germany when the French paid it with surprising alacrity, which then contributed to the spectacular crash of 1873 and ushered in an economic depression that lasted two decades (though many other causes contributed to the latter, of course - it was a worldwide crisis).
It would be interesting to look into that. Would be funny if it turned out they still had more physical copies of the most popular book than they had digital lendings - it'd kinda confirm that the right move was to throw out the limits, because the need was there now, and the counting would take months.

Did they publish stats how often their most popular books were borrowed?

$2400 a month is pretty far below entry level for any white color job. Its about what you would earn full time in an Amazon warehouse. Or minimum wage in NYC.

People are saving a lot of money too from not having to commute, entertainment, travel, etc. that spending shifted to consumer goods. Plus, government handed out a lot of free money on too of that.
And then 60% as many people pay $1.49 instead of $0.99 just to get you back what Apple took, so now you're down 40% of your original revenue instead of 30%. Not really an improvement, is it? If developers could actually increase overall revenue by raising prices this way they'd have done it regardless.

> If you can’t get someone to pay $1.49 instead of $0.99 was your app that innovative?

Well yes, because you had a large number of people -- enough to keep you in business -- willing to pay $0.99, or to pay $99 but not $149, and now all of the value of your entire business to both you and the customer is destroyed.
It seems you might be the person who prefers to get news from headlines, which is perfectly fine, but the article says that it's likely that they're less informed not because of anything to do with social media or the type of journalism they're exposed to, but because they have less interest in political news.
It could be an e-commerce site, which depending on the case can produce a shitload of logs. Imagine having a few hundred of thousands of users daily and you record every page they view, along with heatmaps, and whatnot. In most cases those logs should never be touched by a human in raw format. You feed them in your analytics engine, and start making decisions about your conversion. And then you delete them because the goalpost is constantly moving.
600 a week is 2400 a month, which way over any entry level salary in Europe.

$2,400/month is the legal minimum wage in some cities. ($15/hour)
I think part of it is "it works for me" thinking in conveying information. Someone who is good at pure reading and writing may not think to add any illustration to their work, in fiction and some non-fiction that works, but sometimes it really helps visual thinkers if you include some pictures or diagrams to show what the thing is.

I spent a long time trying to figure out math until I encountered college texts that represented things geometrically, it probably had not occurred to those people who wrote the 20 year old math books I encountered in high school to do such things, but since then someone somewhere figured out how to help people learn better by conveying the information in additional forms.
If you have a combinatorial problem that your first inclination is to use a brute-force backtracking-based search then maybe you could you a SAT solver instead. It is a declarative way to solve the problem and good SAT solvers employ some very clever heuristics such as non-chronological backtracking and clause learning, which you might not get if you try to write the backtracking search yourself.

One example that I like is that some Linux package managers have switched to using a SAT solver to satisfy package version constraints.
That would only be parsing Lisp s-expressions, which is a simple data syntax. But it's far from the complete syntax, which btw. is basically not statically parseable, since Lisp syntax can be on the fly reprogrammed by macros.
Sure, I understands your point. My fear is untrusted code executing on my machine. It wasn’t till I ran a tcp dump that I realised my terminal (KiTTY) decided to ‘phone home’ to ‘check for updates’ - I manage everything through apt, and a terminal by nature executes code so I view it as high risk and don’t really like this behaviour.
Cryptocurrency enables people to make anonymous monetary transactions. Also, so does cash. Drug dealers and criminals still very much prefer cash. Is it wrong to work with certain traditional finance companies because of their association with cash? Should we be worried about users associating your favorite language with the seedy world of cash transactions which subvert the traditional role and spying capacity of large financial institutions? This is the first I've ever heard anyone suggest that Haskell is associated with criminality in any way. Its associated with academics, and nerds, and maybe even hobby programmers. But if I bring up Haskell among a group of people, criminal enterprises is not going to be in the 100 top-associated things with that language. There is no elephant, the connection is strenuous, and if such an elephant existed, it would not be worthy of serious consideration.

I don't disagree with your point (it is pretty interesting!) but I do think 2008 – one year after the iPhone was introduced – is a bit of a special scenario for Apple that isn't broadly applicable to other stocks/downturns.
I read the title and thought this article might have more to do with my spending 10 minutes finding the perfect variable name.
These are people who prefer vim, and are perfectly fine with the :q magic.
It's unclear to me precisely what you mean, and we may be agreeing here.

But the 'variable under test' is definitely part of the hypothesis, and a study without a hypothesis is, not useless, but much less likely to produce a useful result.

There's a relevant xkcd:

If the (pre-registered) hypothesis was that green jelly beans cause acne, then this is at least an interesting result.

If you run this experiment with no particular hypothesis, and then decide on that basis that green jelly beans cause acne, this is just a setup for a later failure to replicate.

At best. At worst, no one bothers checking your results, the company stops selling green jelly beans due to bad publicity, and people who enjoy the green ones are deprived of them for no good reason.
I don't think, I'll ever go back to the grocery store after using Prime now from last 4 months.
Oh right, I tried looking for it and it's not in the current specification AFAIK. What there is, though, is the misa CSR, which accomplishes something similar described in 3.1.1 of the Privileged spec. The misa register is a bitfield of the supported standard extensions. Not sure but I think it's not readable in U-mode, or it's undefined.
Plus, a lot of employed people got checks from the first round of stimulus -- $1200 per individual, $2400 for a married couple, and $500 per child. That's just free money for people who didn't lose their jobs. Some households have earned more during the pandemic than ever before.
