And they are free to continue adding features and maintaining their preferred software choices. Nobody else seems to want to do it. IIRC the X11 maintainers are the same people who started Wayland.

> Once we are done with this we expect X.org to go into hard maintenance mode fairly quickly. The reality is that X.org is basically maintained by us and thus once we stop paying attention to it there is unlikely to be any major new releases coming out and there might even be some bitrot setting in over time. We will keep an eye on it as we will want to ensure X.org stays supportable until the end of the RHEL8 lifecycle at a minimum, but let this be a friendly notice for everyone who rely the work we do maintaining the Linux graphics stack, get onto Wayland, that is where the future is.

But we were talking about Wayland here. You're free of course to fantasize about hypothetical scenarios or propose features to software nobody wants to maintain.
What would actually be interesting to me is info on how local data protection authorities across the EU are now interpreting the principles articulated by the ECJ when applied to standard contractual clauses which are what most data transfers actually happen under rather than Privacy Shield.

How all this will play out and be interpreted by regulators is interesting and currently hard to see how everything will be reconciled between trade in digital services, the US national security state, and the fundemental rights guaranteed to EU citizens.

Final Ruling Against Patreon Opens Legal Avenue to Defend Against Deplatforming

Quote: Eventually what happened was that, as China’s domestic copyright industries found themselves competing with cheap knock-offs of foreign goods, they pressed the Chinese government to fortify the IP enforcement process on its own. (To put this in perspective, this is also what happened a century earlier in the US, which until 1890 failed to protect foreign works, and then waited yet another century before joining the major international copyright treaty.)

Let's just not pretend that IP theft was not prosecuted, and IP was not protected in China. That's simply not possible in such a fast-growing economy, which we can all agree that can only be sustained through innovation.

Even the GDPR only applies to EU residents. Tourists will surely be exempt.

It's a huge relief that ByteDance is not the government of China. What level of foreign ownership makes a company purely foreign controlled? If funds controlled by Chinese nationals bought stakes in Facebook/Twitter/Alphabet, wouldn't that put them in the same category? What portion of ByteDance would have to be owned by non-Chinese people before it would be in the clear?

That is absolutely not true. China has blocked and shut down plenty of services that are following the law simply for protectionist or narrative control reasons. When twitter clones started popping up in China they shut down 11 services and chose a single one to survive, that being Weibo.
Even throttle control may not be required, since there isn't any combat/dogfighting in this game where you need quick changes in throttle.
> Android is not a substitute for iOS.

Regardless they compete in the same market, and Android dominates. You have a choice, and Apple is not a monopoly.

Just because Apple doesn't make the product you want doesn't give you the right to compel them to do so.
Developers are complaining that the 30% is a problem.

If this is true, then they will be forced to support any store that has 15% of the market or be worse of than they are today.

Some of the stores will just be bargain basement garbage with nasty policies and perhaps no less than 30% commission, but will have market power because they are owned by Facebook or google.

It will absolutely be worse than today’s monopoly.

If things are made even worse for developers, consumers will not benefit.

It’s true that there will be more ‘choices’ that everyone will be forced to make

But better software won’t be one.
I have to agree with not knowing sometimes what is clickable. I have that problem now in Windows 10 UI, such as in the settings app. Often the text is clickable but that is not immediately apparent. This is a flaw in their design imo.
Here I am, and all I ever wanted was a decent car driving simulator. Not racing. Not off-roading. (And no, not GTA either...) Just following various traffic rules, dependent on which country you're driving in, and following along digitised roads of places I once knew. Partly because I don't have the driver's license yet, partly because I still can't afford a decent car anyway, and partly because I kinda like the thought of being able to try out so many more different brands without needing to have car collecting as a hobby. I mean, sure, I really liked Gran Turismo, but then that's racing again. Is there just no market for this thing?
Oh yeah - and I was prohibited from the computer as well... So I couldn't play Populous or call into that BBS in San Jose to play the pit...

However, I topped this grounding:

I later called into a BBS in San Jose to play "the pit" and chat on PCLink so much that our long distance bill was $926 for a single month.

I was grounded for a month due to that.

My dad yelled at me a bit. Telling me that "computers will never do anything for you"

Well mainland Turkey is also inhabited by Greeks for a millennia they all converted to another religion and not called Greeks anymore. I don't think we can decide what's right and what's wrong by trying to analyze flimsy political identities.
It doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Uber was sold off in china without selling off operations elsewhere.
Not sure where you got your APR info, but it is not correct. CSR's advertised APR[1] is 17% to 24%, which of course varies based on your credit history. I checked my own account and see my CSR's APR is 16%, and it's sometimes possible to get a decrease if you ask. (To compare, I also have a Freedom, the mid-tier card, at 15% and the Amazon card at 18.25%.)

I also have an Amex, which is nominally a charge card, but they are now functionally no different than a credit card. It has an 18.25% APR for the "Pay Over Time" balance.

Of course, none of this really matters if you're using the cards responsibly, because you pay the statement balance in full every month. The grace period means there is no interest at all. No credit card has a good interest rate (outside of promos), and if you need to borrow money, there are better ways of doing it.

Any credit card should be treated like a charge card or debit card. Don't spend more than you have, put it on auto pay, zero interest is charged, your bank account is debited once a month, and along the way you collect lucrative rewards and get better fraud protection and fringe benefits.

(Admittedly, this all assumes that you can qualify for a decent card and can use it responsibly, which sadly the majority of Americans cannot.)

I don't get it, this really needs some explanation.
So your claim is that up until 2003 journalists were routinely revealing the sources they base stories on ?

That's so patently ridiculous so some evidence on your part would be useful. Because we know that many of the biggest stories of all time e.g. Watergate (1972) relied on anonymous whistleblowers.

> Either Blender is so big that it can’t be maintained without the financial support of big businesses, or the financial support of big businesses are a negative influence on OSS projects. Which one is it?

It can be both. That’s what my original point was. I’m not criticizing Microsoft or disagreeing with this arrangement. Other commenters are assuming this false dichotomy as well, which I think is invalid. A company can certainly support an OSS project financially, while influencing it in ways that harm competitors and users.

I have no opinion on Microsoft’s motivation, but users and competitors would be wise to consider what mechanisms are in place to protect their interests as well.
It is honestly frightening that HN wants to give the government more power over tech after what we've seen from Australia and forced backdoors.
As discussed literally two comments above,

If that's his attitude then Hickey is right not to bother. Suppose Hickey puts in months of efforts and gets it so that you can apply the same technique with only a 1.2x performance cost. The professor is still going to dismiss it for the same reason.
Remember: You can't please HN crowd.

Ideal corporation according to HN commenters:

1) Moderately successful, but not too successful (my Foo can't compete with Bar)

2) Run by at most 20 people (why do they need so many people, me and my buddy could do it in a week!)

3) Maintains all products/features indefinitely even if less then 1% of the users use it (Google killed RSS Reader)

4) Directs all earnings back into the product (they have so much money, surely they can afford to all maintain all products/features indefinitely)

5) Pays below market rates (engineers make too much money)

6) Grows organically with no VC/investor money

7) Makes no mistakes. All experiments end up being total hits / cash cows forever.

Erdogan is applying the same strategy used by Russia, in that he's keen to always push as far as the International Community is willing to tolerate. And they're apparently willing to tolerate a lot, because Turkey possesses immense geostrategic leverage, and he knows this. Other regimes that like to push against the grain, like in Poland and Hungary, wish they were as relevant as Turkey.

This sort of act is one where a couple western countries throw out some sanctions against some state-adjacent figures, but nothing too severe; then in a few years, those sanctions quietly go away during an effort to "normalize" relations.
I don't think "weird" is the right term for an ethical system that is more concerned with the rights of those who are perceived as underdogs or disadvantaged than with the rights of those who are perceived as excessively successful or fortunate. The "Robin Hood" folktale is a good 600 years old, and no remotely comparable tale in which the titular character is unsympathetic ever caught on. A tendency towards "restorative justice", bringing those up high down and raising up those below seems close to being a natural state for humanity; if anything, the belief that some abstract discourse about property and contract law means that we ought to cheer for a state in which person A has orders of magnitude more power and treasure than person B to continue is the weird one.
Be aware that a lot of that business is ultimately controlled by the drug cartels.
What's the context I'm missing here?
You are moving the goal post a little bit. Ukraine is bordered to the west with all NATO members. They have been aspiring NATO members since the end of the cold war, currently hold the status of “intensified dialogue”. European nations have expressed interests in protecting the Ukrainian borders. It was in the direct interest of NATO to uphold that, and Ukraine is willing to receive that help.

There is precedent of NATO interfering in armed conflicts outside of the borders of their member states. They did so in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo during the Yugoslav wars. They also did so in Afghanistan and Libya (come to think of it; NATO has demonstrated it self to be more like an invasion pact then a defensive one). Why didn’t they act in Ukraine? You tell me.

Now again, there are non-intervention ways of punishing Russia for this blatant violation of international treaties, such as boycotts or sanctions. However all of the 10 NATO members that qualified opted to participate in the 2018 FIFA world cup hosted by hostile Russia. How is that for solidarity?
We can't decide what's right and what's wrong with any criteria, except for all the criteria.
But if its because of safety, why only JavascriptCore VM allow write execute flag?
If that was the real reason then, dont you think it should also be disabled in JavascriptCore?

Or the real reason, is as it was pointed out in the other comment, is to cripple other browser engines that offer a platform that could actually be competitive with AppleKit's turning their control over the App store (and what people are allowed to access according to their own taste) irrelevant?

And if that's the real reason behind it, its clear the end user best interests are not being taken into account, as in not having access to possible better options according to your own tastes, contrary to what a lot of people in the comments here are trying to make we believe its true.
Do you mean 10 Billion or zero?
Probably because those who are old start moving again with lower joint pain.

My 80 year old grandfather is the most fit person I know. Super healthy, but literally lifts rocks and gardens every day.

To contrast other family members are in their 50s with diabetes and heart conditions.

Keeping active is key. Remove peoples joint pain (which is what this supplement is used for) and of course they reduce mortal across the board.
This reminds me of Mr.Robot. :)
I’m very uncomfortable about the fact a very young person (only 17 years old) has had his identity released like this... where was this boys fair trial first? Regardless if he was behind the hack or not, this is not the way forward to a decent society.
> Calling mutability an OOP issue doesn't make sense to me. You could certainly have immutable objects. You can event have immutable object inheritance.

When they're immutable they're not objects, they're just data. There's no need for encapsulation because if you can't mutate something then you can't break its invariants. There's no need for identity or references, there's no message-passing...
Situationist Prank
I turned my N810 on recently and played a bit, so I can compare it directly to modern devices. "Pretty good" is a big understatement.
A couple of examples:

- I bought an Apple Watch through them that was the cellular version. There was some activation error with the carrier when we tried to set it up, and rather than the employee I was working with shrugging it off and saying, “Sorry, you have to call the carrier”, they handled it all for me and got it fixed before I left the store.

- I bought a Logitech mouse. It was having issues with the cursor stuttering. I went to return it, they went though the process in store of updating the firmware to make sure it was a hardware issue, and then they gave me a full refund and recommended another mouse (which I still have and love).
Well, they should have cracked down on that spyware earlier, and their failing to do so until they had a competing app to push both casts their motivation behind banning those apps as suspicious, and calls into question the supposed "quality" of the review process. At worst, they did it to Sherlock competitors. At best, they were negligent, their review process is overrated and does not do enough to protect consumers against spyware. It is on them to justify their poor timing.
CRON-o-meter.

Meet all RDAs with just a variety of whole quality foods before adding supplements, get more calcium (or magnesium) than phosphorus, and ensure sufficient quality sleep (ZMA, melatonin, blocker glasses, etc). Maybe 20-30 minutes HIIT/lifting every other day.

Everything else is based on genetics (testing results run through interpreter sites).

Vitamin D3 (+ K2) is a common issue. Can also get via special light. Serum 25(OH)D in the 40s (ng/mL) if not doing anything special or to the top of range (~100 ng/mL).

Second is magnesium (at least 1:2 with calcium or 10 mg/kg overall, whichever is greater).

AOR Ortho-Core is great. Same with Thorne, Naturelo, and Life Extension.
A $30B acquihire would be impressive, 100 times more than Amazon paid for Annapurna, the team who built AWS Graviton server CPU on top of Arm's reference design. If the HR department is having so much trouble hiring Arm engineers that Nvidia needs to pay 30 billion dollars to hire a CPU design team, something's wrong. Nvidia already has CPU design teams, e.g. they made a 2014 Transmeta-like design.

https://hothardware.com/news/nvidias-64bit-tegra-k1-the-ghos...

> .. this chip is fascinating. NVIDIA has taken the parts of Transmeta's initial approach that made sense and adopted them for the modern market and the ARM ecosystem -- while pairing them with the excellent GPU performance of Tegra K1's Kepler-based solution.

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/174023-tegra-k1-64-bit...

> there’s an interesting theory ... that Denver is actually a reincarnation of Nvidia’s plans to build an x86 CPU, which was ongoing in the mid-2000s but never made it to market. To get around x86 licensing issues, Nvidia’s chip would essentially use a software abstraction layer to catch incoming x86 machine code (from the operating system and your apps) and convert/morph it into instructions that can be understood by the underlying hardware.

Which other Arm licensee has been talking about x86/Arm instruction morphing in 2020?

If the goal of acqui-billion-hiring the Arm reference design team is to prevent other companies from using those designs, that would endanger smaller vendors in the Arm supply chain, along with many of the devices that run modern society. Regulators may not like that.
I would love to see some links or further conversation on this.

If the reproduction issue was really nailed down, I would support UBI. Without strong protections preventing runaway reproduction I'm firmly anti-UBI.

This is the biggest issue for me.
I think I am coming from the perspective that incessant trolling forced them to issue an official response and that's "snap enough" for me.

You seem to be coming from the point of view (that's my assumption based on our short comments; it maybe something else) that it doesn't meet the literal dictionary meaning so it's not a snap - which I disagree with.

I think that's all to it.
> UNCLOS is problematic when it comes to islands

No, it really is not. It is exactly how 167 countries have agreed that maritime territory should be allocated. China's island-making shenanigans in the South China Sea are merely an attempt to hack that agreed standard.

What is problematic is Turkey's unique claim that islands should only be entitled to a 12 nautical mile territory rather than the usual 200 that Turkey and other countries are entitled to. Highly convenient for a country with lots of nearby islands inhabited by other people.

> Cyprus should not have been admitted to EU before accepting the Annan plan

The invasion was illegal by any internationally accepted standard. Therefore, the invaded people were under no obligation to accept any compromise. They democratically rejected it. It would have been against the core principles of the EU to withhold membership until they voted "the right way".

Delaying Turkey membership on the basis of invading other countries, or its human rights record, is different. That is about getting them to align with those principles before joining. Ultimately, the government of Turkey decided that their own principles were better aligned to the fast-growing nations of the Middle-East.
I comparison shopped Gitlab vs Github a few years back, and it was a joke: Gitlab killed Github on features and price. They still do. I'm not overly attached to either platform, but clearly Github has ridden on their laurels hard for a long time and Gitlab has not.
In a just society, a creator would be forced to choose between self-enforcement of copyright through DRM, or judicial enforcement through conventional means. Not both.

With DRM, the party on one side of the copyright bargain retains all of the spoils, for all time, at the other side's expense. That's all well and good, but the copyright holder shouldn't subsequently be able to use the law to enforce their unlimited terms.
>but the consequences of this were pretty severe

Can you elaborate on this? The consequences were mild at best, with people easily duped being duped and twitter having a (understandably) worse reputation.
FWIW, I think it may be statistically-significant eyeballing the graph. Activities, being counts bounded at 0, can't be normal, and these are very non-normal data, so the t-test is wrong; if he wanted a p-value, https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.s... would've been more appropriate, and I'd bet the p-value will be noticeably smaller.

It’s not people’s feelings I’m worried about. Blood libel led directly to the murder of a ton of Jewish people. Neonazi movements actively promote mass violence against Jewish people. There have been mass shootings at synagogues in very recent memory.

“Just be an emotionless robot” misunderstands the complaint completely.
With intel it's a bit more complicated than that. I think running Macs on their own processors is a bit cost saver for them, and allows more control. And intel's CPU shortages have hurt their shipping schedules. I don't think this transition is about CPU performance.

But yeah I don't think it's about collaboration either.

1. When was this study conducted? I remember a story like this from somewhere around 2008. A lot has changed since then. In fact, I recall that during my onboarding at a medium size tech company, it was an explicit part of the company's security training curriculum.

2. I think you may actually have it backwards. I would imagine the engineering group at Twitter (the people who have important credentials) is in some ways more paranoid, or at least more technically savvy and therefore more aware than many of the people at the FBI.
