If Google colludes with Microsoft to decide each can have one market, free of competition, that would be illegal.

For example, Google trades the sub-thousand dollar laptop market (ceasing development of Chromebooks) for a monopoly in search.

My interests lie in developing accessible web and mobile applications that are capable of engaging users and efficiently satisfying their needs. Additionally, I am interested in helping people begin their software development careers through mentorship and promotion of the field.
The biggest change the U.S. could have hoped for with Covid was 2 week sick pay;

For the 3 trillion CARES; the U.S. probably could have funded it for this year easily, but companies would fund it on their own in the future.
OWID's UI/UX is definitely not my favorite (try to highlight a particular country's line in a graph) but their worldwide data quality appears to be the best right now compared to alternatives.

If you see misinformation being spread, spread the correction.
One assumption as to why "do the bad thing" is "because it will make China behave in the manner we want".
The main difference is that it's OCI-based, so works with Docker/containerd and hopefully K8s soon (we are working on the latter). Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe LXD runs K8s inside without privileged containers. Having said this, I know LXD and Sysbox use many of the same OS-virtualization techniques to do what they do. And in fact we owe much of the work we've done to the ground-work done by the good folks at Canonical/LXD.
Same here, this is just utter nonsense. I have to assume the person that wrote that comment hadn't actually been using dotnet Core at all. I note how they provide no examples of bugs from this "bug-ridden" and "undocumented" platform.

I've been using dotnet since it was originally created many moons ago, and dotnet core is the best incarnation yet. Documentation is excellent - I don't think I've ever once came across an undocumented feature?!

Well, Newton's life was heavily influenced by an intellectual property battle over the invention of calculus, and he spent his later life hunting and executing counterfeiters, so, maybe appropriate after all?

Given how much time users spend in their browser, not allowing other browser engines could be entirely explained by not wanting to deal with support & review issues when users notice their brand new iPhone has 20% less battery life than it should (because they're using a browser that doesn't use Safari's engine).
> You're confounding American corporatism and capitalism.

No, I'm not.

> In which part of capitalist philosophy do you find "rent extracting monopoly power"

Capitalist “philosophy” is a post hoc rationalization for what was already going on that didn't even start happening until several centuries into the mercantile class using their growing clout to pull rent-extracting monopoly power away from the hands of the feudal aristocracy and into their own, and didn't kick into really high gear until needed as a defense after major critiques of the concrete reality of capitalism started appearing.
Maybe their thinking goes along the lines of "an installable game, whether local or not, is considered like an app, wheter it adds its own icon to the homescreen or not, and since it's considered as an app, it must be held to apple app store policies. now unlike youtube and netflix which primarily host video content that don't act like an app, even though you can download content for offline use in both apps."
There are about 50 countries with cases over 50k, 40 of which are missing from that chart. Being 8/50 is I think indicative of being worse. I think the statistic that shows just how bad the US is doing is that they account for 23% of the world's total Covid deaths but only 3% of the world total population. How can a country doing a good job have those kinds of numbers?

But as you said in your other reply, we understand Covid to be a regional disease that comes in waves, washing over a region and then subsiding. For smaller, denser countries in Europe, it is easier for this disease to reach all regions. America is vast with a much lower population density, and the virus is taking its time finding its way around.

However, if you break the US down into regions you can see how bad it is. NY state has a comparable population density to Italy (162 vs 200 for Italy), and both were hard hit at the beginning of this thing. New York state suffered 1,687 deaths per million, while Italy only suffered 582 deaths per million so far. This I think provides a more nuanced picture rather than just looking at deaths per million by country. Population density is really a factor here.
How can I verify this claim? De-compiling?

Also it's very easy to use proper crypto in the wrong way. How can I know this is not the case here?

> The benefit of shell scripting is that it is simple enough to have as a tertiary language that you can pickup and use after a six month hiatus.

I've been using/abusing traditional shell scripting languages for over a decade now and I still struggle with the rough edges (especially quoting/escaping/argument passing).
I think that the race to the bottom that ended with the domination of the F2P model is not entirely because of Apple, but they contributed by not doing anything against it.

And they were one of the very few companies that could have done something.

They saw it happening and they chose to not intervene.
For those who use Tweetdeck, you should know that there is a browser add-on called Better TweetDeck that makes it, well, better.
Thanks that actually sounds like it could have value, but again it's a new paradigm to learn.

It's like a while back I trained myself up on GWT because in my mind it was the future of reusability.

Sure it was Java based and everyone hates Java these days I guess, or at least hating Java is a meme. But the entire concept and value was that you write everything as reusable components.

Then all you really needed to do was choose your compile targets and the compiler would do the rest, generating cross-browser / device versions of your application code as needed.

I can see now what the OP means and honestly from my point of view the post-XHTML / DTD / XSD diaspora is circling back around to trying to find standard ways to separate data from presentation.

I think I get it now, thank you.

I find it hilarious that they put a dark mode toggle in the corner (why would I want this on a per-website basis?) that doesn't even change the rendering of their sample components (the only reason I can think why that would be useful).

> Amdahl's law is about the limitations of improving the speed of something, but not necessarily through parallelization.

Right, but the goal here is not to improve the speed of something, but rather to handle as many different, mostly independent somethings as possible, without necessarily improving their speed (latency), at all. Amdahl's law comes into effect in the delta between mostly and completely.

> they meant that thread creation time may be tiny compared to the amount of time a newly created thread will do work in a server context. If that is the case, improving the thread creation time will have limited benefit to serve time.

Right, this is the same argument as for the context-switch overhead. Still, I have to say that both virtual thread creation and context-switching are much better than for OS thread, but the point of the post was to show that in many common use cases that is not where most of the benefit comes from; rather it comes from the number of threads you can have.

For example, if thread creation time was high but you could create millions of them, you could create all of them up front and pool them and still get most/all of the benefits. But if thread creation time was low but you could only have a few thousand, then you'd still lose big because of Little's law.
Thanks! Both of your suggestions sound very interesting. I personally like the idea of creating large network topologies with a very few outer containers: the real mesh would be at L2/L3 levels. You would launch your large topo with just a 'docker run'.

The numa-aware idea would take some more research on our part, but at first glance looks like something that we could definitely explore.
Funny, that's exactly how I feel about Windows.

I'm pretty sure this is, like, your opinion, dude.
I thought the post was referring to the discoverability of the search feature.

No way to know that pressing Alt shows keyboard shortcuts on windows either.
> Politically, Xi didn't even want these camps. Other factions pushed for it.

Curious about this. Were the internal discussions leaked? Thought it's hard to tell who the factions even are, and basically impossible to find out what they want.

A lot of this stuff (AV software) is getting deployed at all different layers of the environment. Firewalls are getting better at dynamic file analysis and file blocking, the endpoints are loaded with user behavior/analytics, av and dlp tools. AV is so omnipresent because it's in a decent amount netsec appliances these companies stand up
I'm glad we agree that people should have somewhere to live, and that if a society isn't providing that for its citizens, then that society is failing. This is apparently not a view shared by a lot of people.

However, there's also the other side of the situation, one that reflects TFA. Huge numbers of ordinary people have been lulled into spending vast amounts of money buying property in the patently false belief that property values never go down over the long term. In other words, that property investing is "safe".

The UK and the USA have seen a couple of crashes where over-leveraged property investors have gone broke. Australia hasn't yet. When it does, there will definitely be demands from hard-hit Aussie Battlers trapped in underwater mortgages for the government to help them out. Does our society have an obligation to rescue property investors who are on the verge of bankruptcy?
There is form here, of course. Banks were rescued when their bets on the property market went bad. If them, why not anyone else?

Treating property as a consumer-grade investment is doing harm to our society(ies). Change my mind ;)

I wonder What kind of policy allows Youtube, Netflix Apps?
So your examples are government projects that have yet to be completed? Also I fail to see how either of your examples challenges any cultural norms, and while a successful fusion reactor would render an entire industry obsolete, how does a mandate to be climate neutral do so (obsolete does not mean "we changed the law so that you are not allowed to use this technology anymore")? I guess I'll stay tuned, and maybe change what I said in 30 years once these projects are finished (assuming that the American efforts to deploy practical fusion power are not finished first).
I am suggesting we think about these problems. It isn't "working around rights" to question the anything goes situation we have right now with social media and even our official government media and traditional media companies. Furthermore, our rights guarantee us against government censorship, and I am not suggesting that. It isn't a workaround or an attack to say those rights don't apply everywhere. And I am not insisting on anything. We need to think about it. Humans are easily emotionally manipulated, and our technology is a powerful medium in which to perform that manipulation. It is a very real threat to many systems.

It is a fact that the 2016 election was manipulated via social media propaganda through the direct and indirect influence of the wealthy and various companies (Robert Mercer, Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, etc.). It is a suspicion that foreign actors also played a part in this. Are you suggesting we just throw up our hands and allow these things to take place? These are explicitly attacks on the very system that you say I am supposedly attacking. We need to address these things as we are clearly vulnerable to them.
LOL. Yes, I'm certain that the billionaire-owned media is left-wing.
Blocking people on twitter is a "fundamental" situation? I'd love to hear what you call Trump sending in the military to clear protesters.

And again, I'd also like you to explain the logical leap between "AOC blocked some people on Twitter" to "AOC wants the power to tell Facebook who to censor".
Calling it foolish implies choice. Your genome may be in the database if you have family that participates.
Where did the title come from? "September" doesn't appear once on that entire page. There are a number of dates - August 2020, May 2021, October 2021, December 2021, but the September date seems pulled out of the air.

Could we update to use the original title? "Transition from classic Sites to new Sites"
Don’t you use the Spotlight search bar at work, which should give you a similar feature?

(Or Alfred as a power-user alternative)
If you mean your reasoning, yes.

They don't need to "verify every video" because a video is a video. It's all about the codec, security etc wise, not the content. With dynamic code, like a game or app, it's obviously different.
It's naïve to think that works.
Sure. Battery-life expectations, security (like actually this time), expected integration with the rest of the operating system. But even speaking as an EU citizen, this ruling that only one browser engine can be used is very un-american. Where's the freedom in that. If I damn well know my battery will run in 10minutes if I use an app, well as an american (i'm not) I should be able to.
>>> HIBP (or an eavesdropping attacker) can’t really assume that your password is in the list.

According to [1] by Troy Hunt, around 86% of passwords from one dump were already in the HIBP database, so attackers could assume your password is in the list with 86% certainty, extrapolating from that.

If we look at the returned data for a sample hash prefix (that of "password", which is 5BAA6), and sort them by count of password use, we get these password hashes with the most usages:

~ curl -s 'https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/5BAA6' | sort -t: -k2 -n | tail
42BAADCD710F9EA7E62B60E01D05469AC64:14
EA2008F79BE2B0E0C02A1642725433BBB2F:15
3A8ADE4CF1DAD5342AF2F9FC9247EC21943:18
5E2BCB2FEF09257B0306B4744418999611B:18
A516C42C8CD4C7E7E328ABB90D002A9890E:29
CF2F87E596758D031C0006D1827C9908E5C:34
EF0E14CCB17E525D76050283148A57828F8:44
8E0D5C9D144BACC76E52C44F5B61E8DF629:213
2648FB0B2EDA4FDFF99BF51E912CD95C023:7201
1E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8:3759315

Summing the counts gives 3768295, so 3759315/3768295= about 99.7% of passwords with that hash are "password".

Going with a more obscure password, like say "obscure", you get 1801/4319 = about 42% of passwords being "obscure". This means that if I search for the password "obscure" on HIBP, HIBP can be about 40% sure that my password is "obscure".

How is this not a huge security issue? I would agree that folks with unique passwords not appearing the database are safe, but anyone using a common password can be identified with pretty high probability, and even someone with a password only occurring once in the database is at risk because a typical query returns about 500 results: low enough that a human could brute force a web input that didn't have rate limiting in an hour or two.

It's funny to me that there are a bunch of dark patterns on the Wired site. Is it willful ignorance, or lack of self-awareness?
> As an iphone customer and an iphone developer, let me just say apple can just go f* themselves

But you keep buying their product, so apparently... you can?
> Well, ultimately, it is. If a "store within a store" (or a second independent store) gets too much traction, it will hold the platform back.

A better solution would be for the DOJ to force Apple to allow other app stores and open installs.

> If such a store/third entity becomes powerful Apple can't direct the future and make the changes it wants (the jump to Apple Sillicon is just a recent example, deprecating Carbon, notarization, etc) but has to placate to that too, or risk the ire of tons of dependent users.

Where is that a problem in reality? They've changed their desktop architecture, and that's a completely open platform.

> Apple has seen that play out when it gave too much power to Adobe, MS and others, and has been correcting for that ever since Jobs came back...

Apple built something that is now widely used for conducting business, finance, communication, etc. They no longer deserve to have a singular stranglehold on it. The world depends on iPhone, and it needs to be opened up.
No, the balance of gravity to outward radiation pressure from the core is static in nearly all stars that aren't some of the largest we have observed.

The story of how (and why) plate tectonics came to be accepted not only as established scientific wisdom but the central organising principle of geology is a fascinating one, studied at length by Naomi Oreskes:

https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3Aoreskes+kw%3Atectonic...

Gross continental geography, radioactivity (energy release, isotopes, clocks), bathymetry, magnetic fields analysis, seismic surveys, nuclear testing (more radioactivity), fossil-record analysis, vulcanology, earthquake analysis, stratigraphy, core sampling, and so much more.

All were parsimoniously explained best by plate tectonics.

I was going to say the same. The reputational damage is significant if Google is actively trying to change their reputation, but zero if not.
How can they allow game streaming apps like Steam Link but not xCloud/Stadia
1. "hohlyandiya" is considered as derogatory name of Ukraine, it's strange to see it being used on Hacker News (a link for non-Ukrainian folk here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/хохол and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/khokhol).

2. Ivano-Frankivsk regional hospital/clinic. Well, massages probably can do many things, they just don't cure/slow progressing myopia.
I don’t think this is about revenue sharing, presumably game streaming services could simply not include purchasing games or subscriptions in the app, the same way you can’t buy books in the Kindle app.

This is about the much more subtle and insidious way that Apple leverages their control over iOS to block software that Apple deems threatening. App Store guideline 2.5.2[0], disallowing downloading and executing code in most circumstances, is a sister policy to this one about game streaming services. What both of these policies have in common is that they ban things that have the potential to supersede iOS itself, e.g., by becoming a successful app platform in-and-of itself (if you squint you can see the connection, if you can play Halo this way, why not Photoshop?)

Ben Thompson has written the definitive article on this protectionist mindset that drives many of Apple's store policies[1].

In 2018 Google claimed they were seeing 3 Petabytes weekly from DataChannel usage. This is from the 2018 KrankyGeek talk.

For me personally I use DataChannels pretty extensively for Teleoperation work. Also project like https://github.com/nurdism/neko and https://github.com/giongto35/cloud-game are pretty compelling.

3 out of 8 ‘official use cases’ depend on it. https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc-nv-use-cases/ as well.

Oh I also think great for E2E security. It is better to exchange metadata and keys via a DataChannel. If you push that stuff through signaling there is a good amount of information leaking.
And even so, you're not allowed to sign up or renew your membership via an iOS app. Heck, I don't think you're even allowed to link to a web browser page from the app itself. Well... you are allowed to pay from the app, but then Apple wants a 30% cut to enable that. The video streaming services have balked at paying that. Rightly so.

It's exactly NOT the same logic.

Videos, security, behavior etc wise, are all the same (as long as they use the same codecs). It's the video player code that matters and might have be audited, not each video.

Games and apps are obviously different, as they have dynamic behavior.

So it's not the same logic at all.
