Absolutely. The bigger you are the easier it is to claim plausible deniability for each of the "isolated" incidents. If the executives will even meet the people who they've put in this position, it's easier to lose or just never hear the complaints and red flags.
You don't need to link it to any customer details. The way it usually works is the website records every serial number checked, and warns you if somebody has already checked that serial number. For additional assurance the serial number can also be concealed with tamper-evident packaging, e.g. scratch-off paint.
Very promising, although the jury is still out: "The new paper is 77 pages long, and it will take time for mathematicians to check it carefully. But many feel optimistic that it is correct. “It really looks the way a proof of this result should look,” said Katz, whose earlier work laid much of the groundwork for this new result."

I feel like saying that AWS should be regulated like a utility because lots of businesses use their products is a little sill. They have heavy competition in basically all of their markets, their moat is their breadth of services and they’re constantly at risk of being unbundled by a competitor that has more time to devote to a single product segment. They have persistent natural competition with colo-ing that keeps their prices from straying too far from commodity hardware and an ops person.

Like if you’re looking to regulate a market this seems like one of the last you’d peg as not being healthy.

I would be very interested in seeing HN commenters' theories on the following scenarios:

A) what happens if Google decides to stop funneling money to Mozilla? What becomes of Firefox?

B) at what point do you think the $350+ million/year cash flow to Firefox will get cut off?

C) do you think Mozilla has a reasonable chance of success of replacing that amount of money with a deal with Microsoft/bing?
It’s also not 100% Google fault. Chrome was needed to move the web forward when it was launched. And are they now suppose to make a less good browser to help competitors emerge?

I’m not happy with the current situation and would hate to see Mozilla fail, but I can’t fault Google for the current situation.
> How many kids need to die from attending school and catching covid? For me, 1 is enough and we are already there.

This is equally as irrational as people who just want to fling the floodgates open.

~5 children per year die on playground equipment in the US. Are you actually proposing that we sit around until we've neutered a lethal virus enough that it's less dangerous than playground equipment?

The IFR for school age children is astonishingly low. Low enough that we don't even really have a good sample size. CAs data right now is showing 1 death out of ~50k infections. My first Google hit with IFR estimates for those age ranges puts them at 0.0016% for 5-9, and 0.00032% for 10-17.

Assuming every single one of those kids is in the higher risk 5-9 bracket and that every single one gets infected, we would end up with less than a thousand fatalities. That's about 10% lower than children that die from drowning (or congenital birth abnormalities, or drug overdose/poisoning, they all hover around 980 per year). It's slightly higher than the number of children who die from heart disease.

On the other hand, it's less than a quarter the number of children who die in car crashes per year, and less than a third the number who die from firearm accidents.

I don't suppose that you're going to stop putting your kids in the car, despite it being 4 times more likely to kill them than the worst case scenario of Covid in schools.
Ok, give the homeless homes and don't complain about homeless shelters in your upscale neighborhood. Reform police, there are major american cities with protests and minimal violence.

You complain about symptoms with no regard for the root cause.
At this point, it's hard to say if you're looking at blips or systemic trends. There are certainly reasons one could imagine that there's a more general exodus from San Francisco and the Silicon Valley sprawl more broadly. While I generally like SF as a visitor, the negative side of the ledger gets longer with each passing year and most of SV broadly doesn't have much going for it, especially for the CoL, except for its access to places that are actually nice. So if people don't want/need to live there for high-paid tech jobs I can certainly imagine many leaving, at least to the point where CoL somewhat adjusts to sustainable levels.

The problem is that the USG isn't responsive to the well being of it's people because it doesn't need to be. The reasons are mostly abuses of technicalities which are different in our present time than they were in Rome ~yr0 ce.

They are subject to repair.

Our nation's brightest political theorists such as Lawrence Lessig have put forth simple solutions to their credit. Theres the majority vote interstate compact which has been ratified by many states already. Simple vornoi redistricting would solve the gerrymandering problem.

Ideologies and philosophies don't build civilizations. They distract otherwise capable people. Practical circumstances shape civilizations. That's really the major lesson of the classics if you read them.
Didn't we do this to ourselves, though? The tech community did decide that vendor lock-in is okay, walled gardens are okay and also that a browser monopoly is okay.

My impression is that this is what's different this time: it was chosen by developers themselves
That’s just not true, in practice, though. Laws are written by legislators who ultimately need to win the confidence of their constituents. No amount of money will install a representative who cannot win a democratic election.

We’ve seen this play out time and time again.

Jeff Bezos’ own district in Washington State is represented by a socialist.

Hillary Clinton outspent Donald Trump by 2x in the 2016 election, and still lost. In fact, she had far more corporate backing than Donald Trump, and still lost.

In the 2020 Democratic Primaries, Michael Bloomberg spent $1 billion (!!) on his campaign, and won just 9.4% of the popular vote (1.38% of pledged delegates).

Tom Steyer (a no-name billionaire), spent $343 million on his election, and won a humiliating 0.38% of the popular vote (0% of pledged delegates). Interestingly, you would think he would have at least 1/3 of Bloomberg's vote, which suggests that the vast majority of the variance in Bloomberg's vote share can be attributed to his existing name recognition as a famous businessman/politician. No amount of money was enough to make their core message resonate with ordinary voters.

Bernie Sanders spent $195 million on his election, having spent less than Bloomberg + Steyer and while having handily beaten both.

Joe Biden spent $105 million on his campaign, less than Bernie, and still beat him by 3 million votes.

Elizabeth Warren spent $121.31 million on her campaign, and also handily beat Bloomberg + Steyer while having spent far less than them, while losing to Biden while having spent more than him.

Those are just the anecdotes (of which there are many more).
Decades of research[1] suggest that money probably isn’t the deciding factor in who wins a general election, and especially not for incumbents. Most of the research in the last century found[2] that spending didn’t affect wins for incumbents and that the impact for challengers was unclear[3]. Even the studies[4] that showed spending having the biggest effect, like one that found a more than 6 percent increase in vote share for incumbents, didn’t demonstrate that money actually causes wins.

In fact, those gains from spending likely translate to less of an advantage today, in a time period where voters are more stridently partisan. There are probably fewer and fewer people who are going to change their vote because they liked your ad.

Yes, money helps you broadcast your message. If your message resonates, you can even win elections (what a concept). But money alone isn't persuasive.

I'm amazed that you haven't had that experience yet.

Years ago, when the web was less commonly used, it was pretty much frowned upon to send HTML emails. These days, it's almost the opposite: people asks "what's wrong with you" when you use a text-only email client (setting).
> Those who declined were physically assaulted.

Anecdotes aren't the same as data and that story certainly doesn't characterize the general practice of mail in voting. Do you have any data on your claim that organized voter intimidation is a widespread problem? Surely something as extraordinary as that would receive major media attention. All the stories I can find are of basically white supremacy group intimidating black voters at in person voting locations.
I ordered various brands from Amazon and then just took 1 tablet per 1-2 glasses of water. Initially, I simply added a bit of salt to the water. Also, I usually drink ~2x more than normally because most of the water comes from food so if you keep your usual drinking levels, you get dehydrated. I believe that's why most people feel miserable (outside initial sugar/caffeine withdrawal), because they are dehydrated and the initial 10 lbs/5 kg weight loss is all just missing water. Also, taking pure chicken broth once a week might help with getting the protein that is lost back (100-150g/week).

I think if one works from home during COVID-19, then starting on Friday, going over the worst during the weekend, and then just functioning normally during the week is a perfect way to lose weight without any measurable effects on one's work performance.
> Which is a good thing, because these devices can actually run different browser rendering engines.

In theory yeah, in practise it looks a bit murky to me right now due to the state of the web. Apple is under a lot of fire right now (quite rightly) but I have a suspicion if other browser engines are allowed to run on iOS there will effectively be no incentives to develop for any other browser engine and we'll start seeing "Works best / only in Chromium" type websites and apps (I've already experienced this a fair bit using Firefox).

Re. Covid, it would be a simple solution to spread in person voting out a few days. It would be an inconvenience but no need to invent a new system.
From reading the comments here, the margin isn't that much, and from their perspective we're the faster ones. Relativity is weird.
Please reread this thread. This is the comment I was replying to:

> SpaceX isn't doing the install work work on these Starlink kits. They just sell you some hardware.
If you're a terrestrial-based internet provider, you need a fleet of installers and they also have to do constant maintenance work

This is not true. SpaceX is absolutely going to be doing most of the installs through independent contractors. The original post implied they just ship you the antenna and the end user can set it up, which is wrong.

That's why the sealed ballot boxes are accompanied by by two officers and the candidates are all present at the count.

Rogan has been, at best, insensitive to trans people. Given the volume of people who hold agendas against trans people and trans rights and Rogan's willingness to host people without holding a critical eye to their opinions, I'd be very careful about using his podcast as a jumping off point to the topic. I'd really recommend reading the stories of trans people directly and engaging with the scientific community.

If you're a programmer, you could download the source code to ssh, then modify and recompile it to implement the functionality you desire.

If you aren't, there are many places on the web where you can hire a programmer who can do that for you, most notably Elance, Freelancer, Guru, Upwork, and vWorker -- but there are others as well.

My apologies for the following, but this is something I have never heard of. I have many questions

I tried googling but the beds seem to be stone but you then place a mattress on.

Doesn't it hurt your bones when you wake up in the morning? How long have you slept on it? Is it in a frame or straight on the floor? Is your floor specially supported or is it thin like a kitchen bench top?

That's in some sense already native git functionality.

(Though I recognize that the entire askgit here is essentially a layer on top of some existing functionality).

But changes to a specific function is a particularly underused feature in git.

You do `git log -L :nameOfFunction:fileItLives.ext` and git will show you changes to the function over time.

Of course that syntax is completely arcane (which contributes to its underuse), but e.g. for Python I just wrote a trivial thing to let me instead write `git pylog foo.bar.baz` and it translates to the right syntax above (that lives here: https://github.com/Julian/dotfiles/blob/76bd63f6c9a2c650c185...)
"Having a Python C module gives significantly more power and performance, but comes with costs. it requires more code, it’s harder to find good documentation; and few features are easily accessible. While C modules appear to be an under-utilized tool for writing high performance Python modules (based on some FunctionTrace profiles I’ve seen), we’d recommend a balance. Write most of the non-performance critical code in Python and call into inner loops or setup code in C, for the pieces where Python doesn’t shine."

I've been wondering recently about the maintainability/community aspect of C vs. pure-python packages. I was choosing between a pure-python simhash library and 5-times-as-fast library with a C++ core, and ultimately had to choose pure-python because the C++ one doesn't have recent releases, can't be reliably installed from source, and is harder for me to fix if it breaks. In other words it suffers from a lower bus facter, which I'd predict is generally true of Python packages with a fast non-Python core.

This got me wondering, what is the way to write a fast core for a Python package that is most ... likely to survive, I guess, once the original maintainer loses interest? Would it be some form of C (I think necessary in this case), Rust (once the tooling gels a little), lua, wasm, something else?
Oh certainly. But this doesn't change my point. That autists and neurotypicals come across different perspectives due to the differences in how they socialize.
You could make a case that most internet platforms are increasingly social.

Think about what would be left if you took away all "social" apps from the internet.

Even if we don't go that far, think about non-social online apps that don't use the "web".

For example, iCloud, Dropbox, Microsoft Office, Adobe creative cloud, etc. Most users of these apps use native apps instead of a clunky browser.
Unfortunately even "trusted" senders I know often like to use third-parties to handle tracking and analytics and from there you don't really know where it's going to end up.

Of course you might argue that I shouldn't trust people using these services but then I might as well stop using the internet altogether.
Fair enough, but I didn't base my argument on just search. They hold a commanding position in just about every significant area of the Web. A better product is not enough to dislodge them.

And lets not forget that a very large portion of the population would need to hear about that product on an AMP page in their Chrome browser on their Android phone, probably following a Google search or noticing a story on Google news.
I’ll just throw this out here for people interested in 3D printers: the Prusa i3 mk3s was a very similar experience for me. I actually wanted the kit but no localish vendors had any, so I ordered the preassembled version. Open the box, set it on the table, load filament, and go!

I’m probably ordering a Formlabs Form 2 for work in a couple of weeks because of some of their specialty resins, but did want to point out that around $1000USD can get you a workhorse if a printer!

Another option that I’m also looking at is the Prusa Mini. We have a bunch of small parts to print, and getting an army of smaller printers to work in parallel looks like a significant speed improvement.

The new competitor would have to be so much better than Google that any given user has a >10% chance of switching, for the competitor to capture a remotely relevant marketshare.

That seems fairly unlikely to me. Google gives you what you're looking for immediately for the average query, and anything beyond that is a power user detail not relevant to most people.
FAG are America's new Hollywood.

> if all nations signed and followed UNCLOS [0] guidelines

I guess a large part of the problem here is that the actual land boundaries of such "nations" are not so clear. In that particular case, any claim about north Cyprus should be considered semi-legitimate (to say it mildly), as there's no international consensus on the validity of this occupation.

Notice moreover that, even if you agree in a common set of nation boundaries, the UNCLOS guidelines are still ambiguous. The definition of "internal waters" is meaningless, depending on an unclear separation between "archipelago states" and non-archipelago states. Would you say that Greece is an archipelago state? the UNCLOS does not give an answer, and the definition of internal waters is thus different.
> That is like saying "the sick made this hospital uninviting".

But the sick do make a hospital uninviting! Think of all those heart attack patients who opted not to visit their local emergency department. Heart attacks are still happening regardless of how many additional patients are at the hospital due to infection.
That's effectively how it already is though: there's one market for connectivity, and a separate market for cloud computing. If you don't want to build on Amazon's cloud, you can build on Azure, GCP, or one of the smaller competitors.
