There was a Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas that shut down because it didn't get enough numbers. So I'd be wary of assuming a project like this would be a huge success.

I'm a fan of Star Trek but I have to admit it doesn't have anywhere near the level of cultural force as something like Star Wars, or Marvel movies. For shame.
Those frameworks sound a bit vapid and conspiracizing in taking mundane goals and trying to make them sound sinister as possible. Akin to racists taking immigrants and minorities having 3 or 4 kids on average instead of 2 as "planning long term white genocide".

Whether something preserves a given group's wealth is utterly independent of it being good or bad for everybody else. Rule of law and not having bandits choking trade also help to preserve their wealth. So would a hypothetical vaccine for all diseases. The definition of oligarch is also very non-standard as it would not only mean college educated technically qualify as they use their disproportionate earning to earn more to build and preserve their own wealth but so would teotoller factory workers over their peers as they would spend less wealth by not drinking and with compound interest/average stock marker growth and time could become a shocking fund.

To be frank in absense of other details in the summary the "framework" is so vaucous that he can conclude anything he wants including "the agricultural and food producers have ultimate control of the army, navy, and airforce" or "that dentists are the gatekeepers to being upper class".
Is this a "commoditize your complements" thing?
Trust Ratings for News Sites: Browser Extension
IIRC they were going to use the reference impl of Java but Sun wanted to inject themselves and the Java brand all over Android.

Plus Sun couldn't design a decent UI to save their lives, so Android probably wouldn't have been successful if Google had allowed Sun a large role in the platform.
If DNT is a setting and respected by the website, how is this fingerprinting? My understanding is fingerprinting you need multiple metrics to compare to ensure someone is unique and thus you couldn't fingerprint purely based on a single setting (DNT) alone. (Obviously if it is not respected it becomes one more metric to add to enable better fingerprinting)
It decentralizes not just "data", but requests themselves. Data is "already decentralized", but HTTP requests are not because their context is always dependent on the service provider's intent. Given an HTTP request like:

"PUT /posts/1/update <body>"

Vapor stores the entire serialized HTTP request instead of just the "<body>" part and double signs
both on the user side and the service provider side. And this transaction can be trustlessly relayed to 3rd party nodes as well as returned back to the user as a receipt for evidence, because the raw transaction is self-validatable complete with the enclosed public key against which to check the signature, as well as the Bitcoin transaction ID acting as the checksum for raw transactions being synchronized.

You ask who owns the data, but it can be structured so that every user stores every single transaction on their wallet or local storage, not to mention 3rd party nodes that can act as insurance.
You can train programmers because there is time and there aren’t often lives at stake. Nurses have to hit the ground running in specialist areas where there is (I’d assume) often little time to acquire all necessary skills in order to perform at the required level
Unless your web traffic represents single or double digits of worldwide web traffic, I don't see why anyone would bother.
To be fair the real problem is not mandatory TLS, it’s mandatory WebPKI certs: self-signed certs are not a problem in a local docker container, and is not worse than unencrypted.
Not too mention that the Coca-Cola company also own a staggering amount of more or less known brands, the bigger of which of course being Sprite and Fanta, which are likely large consumers of lemon oil.
What does QUIC solve then?
It just means that including the T2 chip adds more locks that half work for criminals, but locks that fully work for casual users.
Any recommendation for a specific liquid metal paste?
Op can't avoid this problem if following the reviews-masquerading-as-affiliate-marketing pattern.

What's needed is to turn it all upside down: rather than reviewing new products, review broken products.

Make a site about how things break -- review broken and worn-out products to teach how to identify cheap products (where are the stress points, what manufacturing techniques exist to alleviate those). Then compare those with used products well past their warranty period that haven't broken, and look at why they haven't.

Repairability also comes to mind. Everything breaks eventually -- can't cheat entropy -- but when it does, can you easily repair it? Right-to-repair movement would get in on the action.
I would say no but either way it's not what Google copied.
That's the one. I couldn't think of it the other day to add to a previous comment. It's really eye opening and shows an aspect of plants that you really never expected. When I smell a freshly mowed lawn, I'm reminded of that documentary.
I don't mean to discourage governments and groups trying to do what they can in regulating business. But surely privacy is a software feature not a corporate policy.
Relying on others to not use the information at there disposal seems destined to fail.
Is the site down? Nothing seems to happen when I enter text into the search bar.
I think it's a mistake to track the metrics at a individual level, and an even bigger one to do it publicly. Your team owns your product, not your individual devs. So by measuring each team member individually, you end up mis-aligning incentives.
SQL is an ISO standard, which Oracle like everyone else also pays for.
We don’t need AI to create a fair tax policy. We need political will.
> See, this is a clear example of altered footage. The contents and the time period are clear from what you see. But things aren't always that clear.
For instance, someone decides to make a documentary on a contemporary hot button topic.

Sure, and I agree that's an issue, but here we're talking about historical footage for the purposes of understanding history.. frankly anyone that 'matters' and especially actual historians aren't going to think it's original, contemporaneous footage, whether they understand how it could have been produced/altered or not.

If it 'goes viral' and the uneducated assume it's an original C19 recording... It doesn't really matter? It's sad for misinformation to be 'viral' instead of stellar reporting, sure, but it doesn't alter learned knowledge of history.
I always thought it is because our eyes are arranged horizontally and not vertically...
This is however a soft-limit per region
Nope, they pay for ISO which Google hasn't done for Java.
This was my first thought as well. "Oh, it's screwed on? People are gonna lose that screw in a heartbeat." And then one wow after another.

This is the kind of industrial design that needs to happen more.
Early in my career I wrote Smalltalk in a GUI-based environment (VisualWorks/GemStone), with the browser, debugger, transcript, etc. It was an incredible experience.

Later, I used Common Lisp with SLIME and had a very similar experience, at least as productive, except that I was using my preferred IDE (Emacs) and saved the code to normal files so I could use more common tools like grep, SVN/Git, etc. I still built code into an image, which I could update live via the REPL.

I haven't used GNU Smalltalk personally, but I do like the idea of a Smalltalk that's less of an island, particularly if that makes it more palatable to a new generation of programmers.
I guess this refers to the "Red Ring of Death"? IIRC, heating problems -> thermal shutdown?
Go read your own comment again. Saying that a nation acting in the best interests of its citizens is ethically wrong is laughable. Saying it's as ethically wrong as slavery is absurd. On net, this is a good thing for highly skilled H1B applicants (which is whom we were attempting to bring over in the first place, right?)
Or go full BYOD and forego the network equivalent of 14th century defenses
You can love your job in the same way that you can love a hobby that you're passionate about, where you look forward to Mondays, and get genuine excitement and pleasure from the work.

I think that's what people mean when they say they love their job.
Back when I was working for Nokia, the APIs were patented, this is nothing new.
It was really really bad.

So bad I had considered building a sound dampining enclosure for it.

Instead I bought an aftermarket fan (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075R3W8V7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...) and using Ifixit, replaced it.

Now it's much quieter.
Continuous Availability and Active-Active Bucket Replication Across Datacenters
There's potential overlap using names when it's busy. This happened to me once and my name isn't particularly common.
> If you need dual datacenter up time it also becomes very expensive as you need to buy cloudera or confluent.

MirrorMaker is pretty decent and part of the oss release. There are also multiple alternatives available. There is no need to buy anything.
I couldn't handle Steam Link on WiFi. For anything beyond Stardew Valley and Rimworld the sudden quality drops and latency were too jarring. After setting up an additional gigabit switch for the bedroom and running some Cat5e it works well enough for most FPSs.
Thanks, that's exactly the kind of tip I was looking for!
Well, you're not actually reviewing the product. Sure, I wouldn't mind a time series of the price history of an item esp in cases with large jumps. But, generally the point of reviews is to tell me about the product. I can do my own evaluation of what I am willing to pay.
There are multiple implementations and their interoperability is tested [1], with some implementations already having bindings to higher level languages (aioquic) or into existing servers (nginx).

Super valuable feedback, thank you! I will definitely work on all the things you mentioned to make the submission-process way more intuitive and frictionless.
Hetzner Online to open Finnish data center by end of 2020
On review/discussion sites I find it very useful to know how new an account is, how many posts they've made, and a score (up/down votes) on their previous posts.
If you count the air on a non-watercooled gaming PC it comes to around 85% or 90% of volume used for cooling too. If you pack a watercooled PC as tight as possible including the radiators it's maybe 70% of volume dedicated to cooling.

This things run for hours and hours, it's hard to understand if you just use your computer to do cloud things or maybe compile something every once in a while. I'm into photography and I've been learning Ableton and my Mac wasn't doing it anymore, after an hour the fans go super loud and the CPU underclocks and Lightroom or Photoshop become super slow and Ableton starts clicking. I got a Thinkpad T where like 50% of my laptop is now cooling and I can work on it for hours and everything runs fine.
You would bother if you wanted reduced latency for a better user experience.
Your google point is pretty valid, they’d be removing a source of income and sending users to a competitor. I think DDG is fine for the time being.
Red ring of death? Just throw it* in the oven!

* The motherboard, not the whole console.
The problem is you can't trust what you're reading to be from the source. Maybe the site doesn't take credit cards. But after a MITM it might suddenly start taking credit cards. And other things. Whatever the attacker wants! All in the seeming name of the origin.
That's... Always been the case?
At the same time, online-shopping is through the roof because of lockdowns. People still want to buy things, especially when they're scared or bored.
This story is definitely something a lot of young ambitious people face, glad the author found some new areas to grow!

As someone about 10 years older with time to reflect, one thing that stood out is burnout. When you’re younger you can keep going nonstop, but even while young it can hit you every few months like it hit me.

My first thought for Saturdays with nothing to do is to build a casual social network that will compound over time and pay off in spades. Once people hit their 30s and 40s and their network is now in management positions, it can have huge benefits for your career or entrepreneurial endeavors.

So one idea is on your open Saturdays, yes spend half the day working out or swimming, but then take it easy the 2nd half, go spend 6 hours at the local beer garden with friends (or make friends), and build from there.
There have been a few of these note taking systems that have passed through HN lately. I use org-mode for some notes and sometimes open-junk-file (that I discovered in in Spacemacs). What I miss is a tool that will help me keep some notes encrypted at rest but will allow me to search filenames _and_ content. nb seems to support searching, and encryption, but not the two in combination.
Interesting idea, just added this idea/feature to my backlog :)
I don't mind at all. Even the PS4, IMO, was a massive step up in cooling from the PS3 generation.

During the PS3 generation, I went through five or six consoles and those were a mix of the different sub types (original, slim, etc.) due to overheating issues that would cause hardware failure.

I've had my basically launch PS4 almost since it came out now and no heat issues whatsoever.

If the PS5 evolves even further past that, at the cost of more components/design tradeoffs then I'll take it.
Launching Tags for Slack
The widening responsibility for front-end developers
Testing a 13 Pin Towing Socket without a dedicated tester
IIRC SUN's revenues at that time were flat $16B, so they were in a zombie mode, likely could have survived for the next 10-20 years but the board gave up seeing all their competitors growing like crazy YoY.
Stan the T. rex sells for record $32M at auction
HTTPS is free (with let's encrypt) and useful for privacy.

For example:
No one is stopping someone from intercepting your request to your clinic and add a form asking for personal details - and then using those details to "restore password" - or simply ask for your CC number. You might not fall for it but are you as confident in all other patients?
You call the people with the highest scores top performers. You're going to ignore that in performance reviews?
Love the site but I feel like this could be exploited the same way as Amazon reviews, e.g. paying people in fivrr to 5-star review your shitty product.

Wondering if there's anything we could do to fix this relationship or if community submitted reviews are broken in general.
I introduced a credibility system for every user, similar to Reddit's karma so people can see how trustworthy the user is in the Buy For Life community.
I could also imagine picking reviewers by interviewing them initially - someone who owns and uses the product for a while.
Which is pretty much the summary for > 99% of crypto projects. The try to solve an imaginary problem that doesn't actually exist in the real world in the least efficient, and most convoluted, way imaginable. Then they fail.
A real danger of not going with TLS is MITM attacks. Specifically, injection of hostile JS, CSS or whatever that can be used to penetrate your browser and/or local system.
Let’s Encrypt can’t generate certificates for localhost, much less containers accessed via a local network.

Sure, you can get anything to work, but it WILL be a huge PITA.
What is interesting here is that in international relations and territorial claims Taiwan is really only different from the mainland in that they haven't the power to go after the claims that both sides of the straight essentially have and are too weak to be assertive and displease other countries.

Taiwan stays mostly quiet about the territorial issues with India because they want to play India against the mainland, as is plain in this tweet, although they have the same understanding as mainland China.

I can see "we love you Taiwan" replies from India... Maybe so now if if they were in power in Beijing you wouldn't.

> This bug costs $20 each occurrence.

Knowing how much a bug costs is not always trivial.
They've also talked about how they've designed the system to run at a constant level of heat production/cooling capacity, so the fans never "ramp up"; the system is constantly cooling a roughly constant amount of heat and so they were able to design the console's cooling system around that.

It's a lot easier to optimize a system when you have roughly fixed inputs, and from what the Japanese YouTubers at the hands-on event said, it basically doesn't make enough noise to be distracting unless you're using it as a pillow.
End-to-end Encryption for the Rest of Us: How to simplify your workflow
Isn't there a performance burden?
It is possible. In Belgium, the tax authorities have all this information and more. The 'tax on web' site mostly fills in your tax forms itself and asks you for corrections. For a lot of the population, these corrections are minor to none, e.g. some of the smaller charity deductions are missing.
Looks cool! Would live to try it!
Thanks for the explanation. It's about the wording. The fellow used "whole environment" and "image based development". I used the term "virtual image" from the Bluebook to mean the same. The Bluebook says "Two major components of the Smalltalk-80 system can be distinguished: the virtual image and the virtual machine. 1. The virtual image consists of all of the objects in the system [...]". The important point here is "all of the objects", especially also the compiler. There is no Smalltalk language outside of a Smalltalk-80 virtual image. You cannot do anything in an original Bluebook system without running the virtual image. That's what the fellow referred to by "whole environment" and I by "running in a virtual image". In GNU Smalltalk you don't need to load an image (i.e. persisted Object Memory state) to do anything reasonable. There is a compiler and and interpreter, and being "file based" is known to be a core benefit proposition of GNU Smalltalk, isn't it?
Yeah, as a hardware engineer this feels like porn to me but I also feel the whole thing is overengineered and expensive to design and build(for consumer electronics) versus Microsoft who drew a box in AutoCad and called it a day saving tons in R&D, tooling, materials and manufacturing which is how most hardware projects are ran nowadays in this industry since at that kind of scale the small things add up quickly, eroding your already razor-thin margins but maybe Sony has enough money to bankroll this project.

You can also notice the difference in cooling design. Sony has 2 heatsinks, a large and complex heatsink on the top with many heatpipes for cooling the APU and a small heatsink on the back for cooling just the VRMs stuck to the backplate with its own heatpipe(holy cow!) while XBOX is just a large copper plate with aluminum fins saving Microsoft tons in materials and build cost but they had better done their math right to make sure that it will be enough.

Sony had balls to go this route, I'll give them that. Respect.

I suspect Sony didn't penny pinch since they plan to make most of their money back from sales of games and services(ala Apple) while Microsoft probably wants to make more from the hardware itself(ala Android devices).

I have no dog in this fight, but my favorite part is the PS5 consumer friendly expandable storage via M.2 PciE drives(Yeeey!) vs the XboX overpriced and proprietary SSD cartridges(Booo!).
Sounds like you ran out of hobbies. Find a new hobby.
There are a few areas of concern here:

First, getting authentic data from the provider so that you know what they published is what you're reading.

But also links and embedded links/scripts. Since HTTP can be (relatively) trivially MITMd, it not only exposes end users to getting manipulated info, but also, having them running Javascript that's not what the site owner intended.

In fact that's exactly how China attacked GitHub recently:
https://threatpost.com/github-attack-perpetrated-by-chinas-g...
Browsers don't have access to local files so this isn't about editing a file on your computer.

VS Code runs on electron so it is already an editor running in a browser locally without an Internet connection required.

He works at AWS? Is that considered particularly impressive to be envious over? Sure he went to Hopkins but that's not atypical in the Princeton area.

I'd imagine for most of his peers from high school he's considered a disappointment for working at "only" AWS, they're probably all ML Engineers at FB or Google or Two Sigma, etc.
Again, the typical programmer doesn't kill someone when they write a bug. Judging from the backlogs of each company I've worked at, not a single PaaS, SaaS, BaaS, CaaS, DaaS, FaaS, GaaS, HaaS, JaaS, KaaS, LaaS, MaaS, NaaS, QaaS, RaaS, TaaS, VaaS, WaaS, XaaS, YaaS, ZaaS, or other would have a living customer base if one bug == one death.

There are edge cases and there are certainly plenty of times when software bugs can kill people. However, to say that the typical programmer holds life and death in their hands with every keystroke is an extreme over-exaggeration and I think you know that.
Seems like individual differences in bioavailability of drugs is a big problem in drug effectiveness. It seems that a procedure in which the amount getting to the bloodstream is measured, then adjusted (either by dosage increase, or bu supplementation with grapefruti) would be effective.
I think even the CR model has drawbacks - users on this thread talk about degradation of product quality from a manufacturer over time. It's hard to imagine that even a CR model could handle that. Their comparisons are a snapshot.

I still turn to Wirecutter or Outdoor Gear Lab first when I'm trying to understand the landscape and feature set of major purchases because you're right, that's the only way to make a broad comparison.

Amazon does sponsor several review sites via their Onsite Associates program[1]. The bigger challenge for me with buying BIFL from Amazon is that they seem to have real problems with counterfeit goods[2]
