Amazon has a research group it unironically calls the "1492 project".

It turns out that the colonial frame is actually useful for predicting behavior, and should be kept for precisely that reason.

Tech companies invade spaces with long-established established norms around property rights (e.g. wiretapping is a crime, I own my communications), then operate entirely outside those norms, and once they are powerful enough they assert that their norms have been law all along.

This is akin to "buying land" with beads from people who have a completely different understanding of what "buying land" means. There is no informed consent.

Informed consent is the difference between a voluntary market transaction and colonization.

No of course not. My point is that google will change things as they did in the past. The way google snippet works is simple, they scan the data and sum it up.

I searched multiple results right now. "bill gates net worth" data was taken from Wikipedia and CNW didn't even exist on the first page.

"Beyonce net worth" showed a detailed snippet for businessinsider, and second link was CNW. Same for Eminem, 210M from groovewallet, and second result was CNW.

I just couldn't find what CNW is complaining about.
No, that's not it. It was earlier than that...

I have a very basic version of something like this called a Bus Pirate, based off of a PIC. Unfortunately the Bus Pirate is more or less a dead project. I also have a Saleae logic analyzer which is a fantastic tool, but only reads data.

The Glasgow is a huge upgrade to the Bus Pirate! Most of the time I don't really need too much capability when experimenting with a new sensor or peripheral but I am sure the Glasgow will come in handy in development.
Right but they don’t encrypt the files, do they? So they have a clear copy of it in their servers, correct?
That's exactly what I needed, many thanks. The author there also discusses other rationales which he considers later invented excuses, not the real reason, then shows what he believes to be the original idea. Once having this I've also found a shorter summary by the same author:

"It evolved during the development of the machine later called the “Blower” Linotype, which entered production in 1886. In this machine, the magazine consisted of a set of rectangular tubes set vertically (and permanently) in the machine. Mergenthaler knew that he would need to supply matrices in varying numbers, and he knew the frequency of the letters (stories that he asked for a count to be done are dubious - typefounders and printers had known the letter frequencies for centuries). But he was worried that the matrices might be damaged by their fall through these vertical tubes. For the most-used matrices (e, t, a, …) this was not really a problem, since they were supplied in greater numbers and would tend to fill their tubes a bit more (limiting the distance of their fall). But for the less-used mats (supplied in fewer numbers) he feared a problem. So he arranged the tubes in decreasing lengths and put the most frequent characters to the left. The layout of the magazine-tubes led directly to the layout of the keyboard below them. We know this because he said so in US patent 378,798 (filed 1886-07-17, issued 1888-02-28): “… If long tubes were used with a smaller number of matrices at their lower ends, each matrix would acquire a considerable velocity in falling to its place in the tube. This would tend to lead to the mutilation of the matrix.” (p. 3)

In the 1890 machine later known as the “Square Base” Linotype, Mergenthaler introduced a different solution to this - the inclined magazine, which avoided matrix freefall in the magazine. But he kept the “etaoin” layout."

Now the only thing missing is the scanned "US patent 378,798" which seems to be too old to be accessible?

Freshly downed live trees aren't great for firewood. The moisture content tends to make the wood difficult to light (if you can't spare lighter fluid, diesel, gasoline, candles, etc.) and it tends to produce a lot of smoke once lit. I've done enough camping that I can get wet wood burning if I have enough dry twigs, dry pine needles, birch bark, etc., but if your only experience with starting fires is pouring lighter fluid on split wood that has been dried 2+ years, you're going to have a bad time trying to get wet wood burning using only things you find in a forest after a storm.
> It looks more like an ethical argument than a legal one. I don't understand how this data would be protected under US law. Can someone explain if you think otherwise?

That question kind of misses the point. This was a US House hearing. The right question, in the context of such a hearing, is whether it should be legal. The other thing to keep in mind is that this was the action of a company with considerable market power. There's not much that's off limits in principle once it turns into an antitrust case.

Having said that:

> it just looks like a bad business model

seems about right to me. No other companies had done this, and that might be because of the difficulty of monetizing numbers. Few people are going to pay for the information, but it's ultimately just a number. Consumers are better off the faster they get the number they're looking for.

Do you need unlimited data? Gaming is equivalent to streaming hi-def video. With good codecs that doesn't really tax even the low end of 5G bandwidth capabilities. It's really all about latency.

Of course, it's not just games that might be streamed this way. Any computing device could be.
Well, the expression problem is a clearly formulated question: how can we have three desirable things at the same time (no need to modify existing code, no need for code repetition and no need for runtime type errors [1])? See also the project management triangle: if you need something fast, good and cheap, then fast, good and expensive won't be a satisfactory answer, no matter how many millionaires are satisfied with the latter.

I would put parentheses here, I never like mixing logical operators with other types (or even different types of logical operators). While it's of course entirely redundant here, it also makes the code easier to read IMO.

I think the parent's point is more convincing: why make this check only for root in the first place?

Seems a reach to suggest this was a novel scenario introduced by recent European colonialism, rather than a human phenomenon going back millennia
Most likely the same way how enthusiasts are reverse-engineering those 8-bit CPUs today: decapping and tracing the transistors under a microscope.

For the East German Z80 clone U880 there are some wild stories of how the secret service stole blueprints from Zilog, but the more believable version of the story is that some chips were smuggled over the border that had simply been bought in West German electronics stores. The East German Z80 version had definitely been reverse engineered - not simply cloned - because the U880 has a slightly different undocumented behaviour (for instance, the undocumented X and Y flags behave differently than on a real Z80), also apparently the Z80 has various 'trap transistors' which prevent that the mask can simply be cloned, those trap transistors had to be found and fixed (I guess this was the reason why the U880 project was delayed by a year or so).

The much bigger problem than reverse engineering the chips was setting up manufacturing anyway. For East Germany this definitely happened with secret service support. The story goes that a small chip manufacturing company was set up in West Germany, which soon after declared bancrupty with the entire manufacturing equipment sold off to another company somewhere abroad. "Somehow" that equipment disappeared en route and showed up in East Germany a few months later.

No it cannot. That is not what war crime means.
You used to have to apply for a re-entry visa. Technically Japan distinguishes between "entry permission" and "status of residence", which few countries do and, given it's an island, doesn't really make any sense, but that's the reason for the policy. With the change to the Residence Card system in 2012 normal travel no longer requires applying for re-entry visas. Here's a notice from when it changed:

http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact_1/en/point_3-4.html

To add to what bojo said, when you apply for it at the airport these days you basically just fill out a tiny piece of paper and they say "OK, see you when you get back" if you're going away for less than a year. I don't go overseas much but if memory serves the process is basically the same for PR and non-PR visas.

I don't really know much about the implications of only coming back once every five years or so.
Files are encrypted at rest, but no end to end encryption, you're right.

You implied both that there is no oversight and that it is bulk collection. Both are not supported by your source, which says there is some oversight by a judge and that the FBI manually requests data on specific individuals. It may be a violation of civil liberties, but it doesn't support your claim.

You keep calling it “theft”. It is obviously not literally theft, since no physical object has been taken. The only thing you could possibly mean is “copyright infringement” (which is commonly called theft in imprecise and inflammatory language), but copyright does not apply to a simple fact like a dollar amount, no matter how much research lies behind it.

You might be of the opinion that it should, but that is a different argument, which you did not make.

Your comment got me interested and i compared die photos of both chips.

580BM80A die photo:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1801BM1/vm80a/master/img/v...

I am not an expert in CPU design, so please correct me if i am wrong, but chips look rather different (at least Intel logo was removed on the 580BM80A die). Could it be that 580BM80A implements Intel's ISA, but actual CPU architecture is of their own? And could we call it a "copy"/"replica" if so? Like could we say that AMD CPUs are replicas of Intel CPUs, because they implement the same ISA?

That's one of the nice things about 5G. It's an evolution of all the prior mobile protocols that have identity and security baked in from the start. That's what SIM cards are for and why mobile cloning died out.

With 5G and IPv6 you don't really much app-layer security, with the right APIs to give you access to the mobile layer security. The telcos already have the infrastructure to do ID verification on a mass scale and hand out SIMs tied to real world people, or real world manufacturing companies.

> I wish the system wasn't so discriminatory :(

There are very few people from 'good' country list that want to go to Switzerland (or any rich country) for nefarious reasons. Be it running from law or wanting to live off benefits. So there is less hoops to check those people.

There are far more incentives to try to get to rich country from a poorer country, if you make the process too easy you will get an increase of people wanting to come in. And those are hardly going to be only doctors and engineers. It will be poor and low income in general, willing to bet all.

This isn't fair, its discriminatory and racist approach. But it is also reality of this planet. Life is unfair.
I think people assume the Hippocratic oath actually makes a difference. It's culturally important to many doctors of course, but how often has that hindered the military or the CIA from hiring enough doctors to facilitate a new interrogation program? Of the illegal human experiments that happened in the US many had doctors working for them as well. It's a good guiding principle but the idea that it would actually make an impact of any kind is debateable. It doesn't matter if 90% of coders follow the oath if 10% or even 5% are enough to handle the demand for oath breaking.
How We Interview Engineers
Yes, don't treat people badly (mostly) because of the way they look.

But be realistic. Someone that wears all black has made a choice just like the person that is always fashionable with lots of clothing. Some beard and hairstyles take more work than others. These are lifestyle choices people make. Someone knowing how to do 20 hairstyles to get their hair off of their neck decided to learn that instead of something else. A man with a complicated beard style probably spends some time daily on it to keep it up. A person with nails half the length of the fingers they are attached to probably eshews some practical things simply because the nails are in the way. A person that wears traditional clothing due to religion probably isn't a good candidate to date me.

I understand that being poor might make it so you don't have a lot of choices in these things. I've been there: My look was basically whatever I was forced to wear to work and whatever I could find at thrift stores. At the end of the day, though, I still had choice -and to discount what these choices tell others about you is, in itself, dense - as is discounting that humanity often makes snap judgements based entirely on how things look.
Ask HN: Stories from migrating away from relational databases?
I am interested in stories from people who started out with a relational db (postgres, mysql, ..), outgrew it in the sense that it could no longer handle the amount of data and/or requests and then migrated to a NoSQL db. I am not talking about projects that used mongodb from the beginning "because it needs to scale", but stories from migrations from one to the other. What triggered the migration? What type of data did you have? How did the migration turn out? Did you get the expected benefits?

The reason I'm interested in this is that I hear it again and again: We need to use a NoSQL db, because postgres is not fast enough. Is it though? Did you try and it was actually not fast enough or are you talking about some hypothetical future performance benefits? I am sure there are cases where this is true, but I am just as sure that there are cases where a relational db is just fine.

Hardware became a commodity over the past 2-3 decades. It gets replaced, not serviced. And most people got used to not caring about getting something serviced beyond a few consumables (like a battery). It's hard to stay afloat selling to a niche so not many companies try.

On the other hand the pace of evolution has slowed down and upgrading stuff is less of a necessity today. So most people no longer feel the need to pay for flexibility, they'll go for other things like design, thinness, weight, etc. Phones probably showed the way, they became the ubiquitous computing device and for anyone born in this era they simply set the standard fro all other devices.

I miss my ThinkPad 600x for example but not necessarily because I could (and did) tear it down and build it back over and over again. But also because it seems today we're sacrificing a bit too much for the sake of design. Like impossible to use keyboards, lack of ports, everything glued, etc. because anything else will make the device a bit thicker or heavier.
For example a specific error string which is definitely in a github repo - it won't find it. I was trying to find why the error is printed. In the past, I used google to even find codes related to my interest (so I additionally specified language keywords like "void" "define" "float") - not working anymore. Fortunately github search works for that but it's slow. In the past, Google ignored "c++", amusingly now it doesn't ignore it but it has much much smaller index, it seems. Google is now useful only for "programming" queries like: why is c++ popular. And most results are then Quora / Stack Overflow / YouTube. Google is sadly a tool for masses and their simple queries about restaurants, actors, etc now. :(

China will make its high tech chips one way or the other, it cannot be a superpower and stay at American mercy regarding this ultra important ingredient for military hardware.

America should want to have as much influence in the process as possible, though of course it wants to minimize its losses through espionage etc as well.

As an uninformed external observer this seems as a rather short term move from the US. Plus it should also consider that other actors are watching how this unfolds: Europe, India and others are becoming more and more vary of their dependance on US tech, wouldn't want to balance them to the Chinese side..
