If this were an interoperable standard, I imagine the pool of "approved issuers" would be relatively small, limited to e.g. governments or banks. Bloomberg uses a system not entirely dissimilar to this[1], and I could see Apple and Google building an OS API that the issuers' apps would use specifically for this.

Why would I bother updating software for a TV if the TV is already working? Whats the motivation?
I like the climate change comparison.

One of the opportunities for comparison that this site only barely touches on is the fact that, like climate change, the companies responsible for this global phenomenon both know it's happening and are likely actively working to avoid talking about it. This happened with Exxon, BP, ConocoPhilips, you name it; it's now happening with Facebook, Google, etc.

This undoubtedly happens because any change for the good of folks would undermine these powerful corporations' bottom lines.

>In China each adult citizen is getting a government mandated "social credit score". This represents how well behaved they are, and is based on crime records, what they say on social media, what they buy, and even the scores of their friends.

This really isn't all that different than what is happening elsewhere across the world today. Your Uber rider score represents your "social credit" for that service. Your Airbnb guest reviews impact if you will be allowed to rent a room. Each platform is putting social credit in place via crowd-sourced "trust"

EDIT: I don't mean to minimize China's human rights violations, but to posture that independently of central control many companies are implementing their own versions of these systems, which can have _some_ of the same effects in terms of losing access to services. Obviously one's Uber scores won't put you in jail / detainment camp and I was not intended to imply such.
So you look at GDP as the one factor to determine your facts. The fact that you are comparing a Country with 2.5 million People vs a country with 1.3 billion people tells me more about you than I need to.

Indeed. Although XML has a grammar its complexity led to countless flawed implementations. The original sin of XML is that it has been over-hyped from the beginning. Is it the cause or the consequence of it being over-engineered, I would not say. Anyway following standards, XLST, XPath, saw poor adoption. I am not fond of JSON and YAML either, but since they are much less ambitious, I am somewhat more forgiving with them. None of them is good at being a config file format. None one them is good at data serialization, that should be binary and TLV encoded.

So the education provided you with multiple, different viewpoints, then. If you evaluate specific, individual classes, yes, you'll find a bias depending on the specific, individual faculty. I had faculty ranging from those who extolled the virtues of a strong-man in the white house, to those who wanted a complete anarchy.

I'm willing to bet most university/college educations contain a little bit of everything.

Or, put more simply, wide ranging viewpoints. . . .
Eh, I find the docs aren't as good as people say. If your question is "where is the config file for rc located?" then sure, the manual will tell you.

If your question is "what options are allowed in rc.conf and what is the syntax?" then your answer is not found in the manual page for rc but from a random Reddit post your Google search brought up.

I don't own one, I looked into it the last time I purchased a TV and just couldn't justify the price over the sale price of a regular "smart" TV. The more feature rich digital signage (from Samsung at least) with HDR10+, HDMI CEC, etc. is much more expensive than a consumer TV, i think 3-4x. It didn't fit my valuation so I just have a normal Samsung TV with no networking configured.

> But if your position is that your product cannot compete monetarily and also cannot compete without the advertising that money buys, then it might just be that you don't have as desirable a product as you think you do.

is really true. A free option not taking in great amounts of money, but offering substantial privacy just won't be as visible—especially when it's actively being drowned out by companies with for-profit motives.
Your concerns about "gaming" search results are very fair and valid. However, I feel that provided that sleazy SEO aren't being used, I don't think it's intrinsically bad.

I work for a small SaaS startup (still very early days) and this suggestion could solve one of the problems we have when it comes to marketing our product which very few people have heard of.

For us it's a little harder to get people to understand our product because there are no other well known products that are directly comparable to ours. However, there are well known products that are in the same problem space as ours.

The well known competing products tend to primarily focus on appealling to company "execs", but not so much the actual end users of them. The actual end users need to commit themselves and their skillsets into that particular proprietary technology, which smart ones may realize is not great for their long term career if they're planning on being able to move around the industry.

So our product is similar to these well known products in that it solves some of the same problems, but we differ greatly in that ours is geared towards end users who don't want any kind of platform lock-in.

After reading this website, I'm planning on making a page to compare ourselves to these particular "competing" products, but giving us the opportunity to show why even if you dislike those other products, you'll like ours because of its differences. This will also help people better understand the problem we're solving.
No, but I would if I could. And I remember enough to improvise live with other musicians; I'm not always the best, but I know enough not to embarrass myself; and I know how to learn more quickly.
Interesting, thanks for the reply. I’ll research for sure.

With the PS5 controller having a microphone array built in, I won’t be purchasing, which makes me sad as I’ve been gaming since the ZX Spectrum. Also Sony injecting their ads into the PS4 home-screen which will no doubt carry over to the PS5. Gah. But on a positive note, those new AMD offerings...
It will definitely help separate those that are eager and able to escape poverty from those that aren't.

For example; It can be stated that fixing a homeless issue by giving people homes isn't addressing all of the root causes of homelessness. In slice of the homelessness concerning mental health issues, some people will have sold their homes and have nothing, others will be in a similar sort of position (perhaps even somehow kicked out of their own home) as others have just taken advantage of them.
Interestingly, it wasn't the Obama administration that tried to build the high speed rail. It was the Republican governor of Wisconsin (Tommy Thompson) that pushed for it. Scott Walker used it as a wedge to split the electorate and win the election. Wisconsin Public Radio did a great podcast about it here: https://www.wpr.org/derailed/wisconsins-high-speed-rail-saga...
Funny, just to check I picked 5 random BBC articles about ISRO off Google search. 3 didn't mention anything like that, one said arguments that India shouldn't invest in space tech are misguided and one cited low salaries as part of why the project was so impressively cheap compared to western programs. That doesn't seem particularly worthy of outrage?
I think history disagrees with that. With deregulation and incentive and because how the resource pool in human civilization according to Pareto distributions. You can have a individual coordinate most things bottom up if you let them. Like people thought private space flight was impossible, but it ended up being more impossible from a top down process than a bottoms up on via elon musk.
AIUI it’s partly due to priority rules. In most countries, passenger trains have priority over freight. Amtrak doesn’t own much rail itself, and mostly runs on 3rd party tracks. On these Amtrak only has priority if it’s running on time. So as soon as a train gets one delay, the various railway operators stop giving the train priority, and it just gets more delayed.
That doesn't seem like an acceptable solution. The ads weren't there when I bought the TV.

I found the support article from Sony on this:

https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00225587

If this is a TV that is used by very young children, ads with blood splatter as shown in their example seem pretty tasteless.

Google's page on the introduction of ads has the same thing - an ad for Sesame Street followed up with the ad containing blood splatter.

I've only ever bought one Samsung product. It's a smart TV presumably meant to be used for Steam Link purposes. When it arrived and I turned it on, I found out that not only the Steam Link app was not available for my model, but it also had no Bluetooth support for controllers (only for audio devices???). I double checked the product page and it very clearly shows, to this date, steam Link and controller support. Obviously their customer support team didn't care.
The point about minority views no longer being able to take over is a scary one. There has been a great amount of social progress in the past several decades, and that sort of progress wouldn't be possible under the effects of strong social cooling.
The same submission was actually posted twice before from greener accounts, one was flagged the other ignored. It only broke through (to the second page of HN) with this submission.

I am not questioning the authenticity of Alex's submission but if you think old accounts can't be bought or rented, for the reward of being able to shape public opinion, then you are in for a surprise.

Any forum, once it becomes big enough and relevant enough to shape public opinion, will eventually be used by lobby/PR people.
> I don't care about privacy; I have nothing to hide.

Everyone latching on to this and providing counter-arguments in the HN comments section misses the point.

Most of the HN crowd realizes that this is a fallacy. You don’t need to prove your point here.

It doesn’t change the fact that (outside of HN) it is a very commonly held belief.

While all of the above is correct, it doesn't stop the GFW from implementing per flow based DPI that drops traffic, or throttles it to a throughput that is so slow as to be unusable, based on detection of consistent encrypted flows between an IP that is outside of China, and domestically within China.

The one thing TLS1.3 with ESNI is not is hard to detect. It's a consistent traffic pattern if you throw a sufficient amount of CPU and RAM resources at doing DPI on each and every user's flows.

In an ordinary non censored ISP environment the ratio at which you export netflow data to a collector adjacent to the router is quite low. And not a great deal of CPU and RAM resources are put into doing detailed analysis of it, other than for basic things like figuring out who you should be peering with that you aren't peering already, and identifying percentages of traffic patterns (eg: at 10pm every night we see this much traffic from our on-net locally hosted netflix cache boxes going towards the residential GPON customers).

If you are a Chinese entity with access to the router-design people at Huawei and ZTE, and sufficient motivation to do so, there's no reason why you couldn't crank up the ratio greatly and (on a middle mile and per POP basis) export netflow by a dedicated 100Gbps link to a set of directly-adjacent high performance x86-64 servers, running custom flow analysis and DPI inspection software.
Not fully following what problem this is solving. I was in one of these Go stores and scanning the app to get in is convenient enough for me.

Surprised that nobody has brought up size over the wire yet. XML, by virtue of the fact that it has both opening and closing tags, tends to be more verbose than other standards. With larger requests, this can translate to hundreds of extra kilobytes transferred. Even for smaller requests, people in bandwidth-constrained environments will probably notice performance improvements when using a more concise standard over XML.
Why wouldn't they be? Assange is an enemy of the state. Not "of the administration", but "the state", in total. The FBI is known to keep lists on and engage in attacks against what they perceive as enemies of the state. It's logical to assume that they might still do so.

They probably won't break down your door for commenting on Assange though. They'll have some other pretense, an anonymous tip about drugs maybe.

This question assumes that Standard Oil didn’t engage in anti-competitive practices after they gained a monopoly position which they absolutely did. On the run / don’t have time to send links but this is common knowledge and easy to look up. It’s worth noting that a monopoly alone (a definition for % market share) does not meet the criteria for antitrust. Antitrust carries an extra burden of the company abusing its monopoly position eg what Standard Oil did and arguably, what Apple is not doing.
> There are absolutely people in this world with ideologies about the superiority of white people.

And there are people with ideologies that paint White people as all being fundamentally evil, with some kind of tainted inheritance. This is what Whiteness Studies is actually doing; far different than any African-American Studies course would do. Interesting that it has to be so drastically different, so critical, so deconstructive when White people are involved.

> I would gently point out that conflating criticism of whiteness with criticism of all white people because of etymological similarity is literally a strawman.

I see through your motte-and-bailey game. All White people are automatically guilty of Whiteness; that's the whole point of these courses, to take apart the accomplishments of historical White figures, to demonize White people for being the beneficiaries of the hard work and sacrifice of their collective ancestors, and ultimately to deny White people to opportunity to take part in a collective identity at all. You then back out and pretend to only criticize abstract Whiteness; but of course, this doesn't matter, because no criticism of any other group is going to be allowed to use the same methodologies.

This is propaganda; and there is now some momentum towards calling it out for what it is and rejecting it, including recent executive orders that restrict federal agencies from compelling employees to take this kind of training. My hope is that it can be purged entirely so we can eventually get back on track towards a society where people can get along instead of being artificially divided by an elite that seeks to employ divide-and-conquer strategies to prevent the working class from ever being able to make any progress.

The "ideal that gave birth to the university in the form that we recognize it" is inherently aristocratic.

If the financial investment in university doesn't provide social mobility, if it's a nebulous "preparation for citizenship," then you're essentially asserting, by default, that people who are blind to the financial ROI of university are better citizens.
Just FYI, there's an option to adjust the sensitivity of the remote.

Exactly. I can say that we were a low-middle class family, so whenever we wanted to buy something, we would just go and buy the best one that will last for a while, even if it meant that it is twice as expensive. Nowadays, it is really getting hard to find something that fits this criteria.
