Apple is more like a cult with totalitarian rule. Google is not too far behind.

Both track your every move/conversation and share ALL your data with government agencies via the PRISM surveillance program led by the NSA (Google joined PRISM in 2009; Apple in 2012).[1] These BigTech companies/PRISM members are beyond the law because they are defacto extensions of Big Brother Surveillance. If Apple were to make a PRISM break from membership, then it would likely receive lawsuits for tax evasion and monopoly behavior (antitrust). Understand the game?

Consider This About Apple:

• Apple uses offshore quasi-indentured-servant labor to bypass labor- and wage-laws;

• The rotten fruit evades the spirit of taxation by setting up shell companies in Ireland, tiny islands, Nevada, etc. to hoard billions of un-taxed dollars in these vehicles;

• The BigTech Global Company uses monopoly-like power to control its users behavior and even inserts forms of malware to make the OS perform slower and/or drain the battery to encourage users to upgrade their phone!

>> Remember, freedom (Liberty) requires continual effort lest one becomes enslaved.

Google, to its credit, still provides open source software of the Android OS for anyone to port and modify. It’s called Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Anyone who makes a modest effort can install AOSP on a non-apple device – even many older phones.

There are a myriad of open-source and partial open-source custom ROMs that are often built using AOSP, but not exclusively – Ubuntu Touch, Replicant, Resurrection Remix, PureOS, LineageOS, TizenOS, ParanoidAndroid, KaiOS, PostmarketOS, etc.[2]

One may simply flash a custom ROM on their used or new non-Apple device. Take 30 minutes to read instructions on any number of tech forums such as xda-developers.com, for one example. What you will realize is stable custom ROMS are more secure than native stock OS by Apple and Google. And, one may modify the custom ROMS as any lover of freedom chooses.

There are also devices coming to market that have kill switches that disable cellular tracking by PRISM, etc.: Purism’s Librem 5, Pine64's PinePhone, OpenPandora’s DragonBox, etc. And, these organizations are honorable and community-driven, either partly or entirely.

So, just because a lot of people won’t make the tiny effort to liberate themselves from evil (and continue to justify a “walled garden” implemented by said evil rotten fruit), doesn’t mean the small number of people who choose liberty over security should be sacrificed at the alter of evil.

No laws or regulations are necessary. Vote with your dollars and actions.

Wake the Flock Up, People!

I do. You can't enjoy Monty Python without enjoying absurd. Everyone draws the line in a different spot I suppose.
Extradition treaties generally have an exemption for "political offenses," which in this context has historically meant crimes against the state, such as espionage, treason, sedition and rebellion. Even acts that would normally be criminal can be exempt from extradition if they were carried out as part of a larger political crime (like rebellion). These sorts of exemptions date all the way back to the mid-1800s, and are standard, in my limited understanding.

The US-UK extradition treaty goes even further and states that extradition will not be granted when the charges are politically motivated:

> extradition shall not be
granted if the competent authority of the Requested State determines that the request
was politically motivated

I don't think anyone can deny with a straight face that the prosecution of Assange is politically motivated.

Well, just like apple can auto remove applications that were pushed out from their app store, they certainly can install new application signed with privileged entitlements on your phone that can spy on you without you even knowing. Remember that when apple advertises that "built for security" garbage on you.

At least with most androids you can unlock the bootloader and install something like linageos and remove google services to stop their ability to spy on you.

OpenAI is exploiting the rules of society, as every human entity does under sufficiently strong optimization pressure.

I agree, interesting note about low background steel. But if it's everywhere, it's the same as counting a tree rings.
This is somewhat circular reasoning though. Apple and Google have deliberately made it impossible or difficult to sideload to maximize profits.

That's a shame. With no local scene, and no radio to get leningrad programs like https://naftalin.radiorecord.ru , it must've been nothing but saunas, accordion, lox and great patriotic stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dciV2ruUIsI on infinite repeat. My condolences.

For GPT-3, I think they mainly scraped stuff off the internet. Anyone with enough time and machines can replicate that, but it is a non zero effort. GPT is an exception here I think. It's harder to build open source MRI diagnosis tools for example when nobody gives you open source MRI scans with diagnosis data.

It's more a lack of compute power problem plus a lack of people problem. The compute cost alone was estimated to be 4.6 million USD. As for the people, folks who can push SOTA are extremely sought after. So the individuals involved also pay a large opportunity cost by working on things for free or comparatively small open source pay.

Also, I think many open source organizations/communities haven't recognized the value of open source ML models yet and don't invest in them as much as in parametric models. I think this will come with time. Last, anyone with a computer can write code, while few people have access to the hardware needed.
Yes, but it's still hard for phones to communicate with peripherals in meaningful ways, especially via USB. IOS is a bit better on that matter, Android OTG is a catastrophe. I understand why a lot of people prefer iPhone, especially artists and musicians.

Large scale use of hydrogen for grid-connected storage would involve storing the hydrogen underground. This is an order of magnitude cheaper (per unit of energy storage capacity) than storing it above ground. CAES also uses underground storage, and for the same reason. Trying to use CAES with above-ground storage for seasonal load leveling would be even more ludicrous.

But in any case, the energy density argument I made is independent of just where the compressed gases are being stored.
Yeah - so layer-lawyer would argue that the only thing that needs to talk to serial.h would be the protocol - but, in the real world of deployments that actually work in the field, it's often the case that layer lawyers get in the the way, and being able to bypass the protocol to talk directly to the phy is a thing - which means you end up including the phy at multiple places.

Purity vs Practicality.
As I said,

Presumably one reason the loss of species is bad because it lessens biodiversity. If extinct species could be re-introduced in a more amenable future, then that would be a good thing, no?
Segment published a report on tool usage. "SMS and Push" was @ 12% and was not in the top-10. Even in the "SMS and Push", there was Braze/Iterable etc but no Twillio.

https://segment.com/blog/customer-data-platform/

This is not surprising. The personalized SMS/push notification use cases (for which you need Segment data) are commonly implemented via marketing platforms (like Braze etc) as opposed to directly via Twillio.

I think this was the other way around. Twillio is powering a lot of these new age marketing automation tools. Instead of just being at the infrastructure layer, it wants to go up the stack and own the marketing applications. Sendgrid and now Segment acqusitions are part of the same strategy.

They did the same thing for the contact center (call center) software space. Lot of the cloud contact center companies were using Twillio and now they launched their own contact center product. That has been one of the key drivers in their 3x increase in valuation in the last 1 yr.

https://www.twilio.com/use-cases/contact-center

Segment's partners like Braze etc should be worried.
Fair points, but not directly on the issue raised by the complaint. Its not about the legitimacy of the sending money off transaction, or about the funds availability policy. What the victim was complaining about---and what I was agreeing with---is the bank's failure to have any mechanism to communicate when a check actually cleared.

Fixing that wouldn't require a change to the funds availability policy, and wouldn't require it to dishonor any transactions. As the original complaint indicated, it would literally just be a UI tweak: the online banking system could highlight provisionally available funds differently from really really available funds, and in that way communicate to customers what is actually cleared and safe to spend. This isn't a big ask.

In addition to protecting account holders from a massive range of fake check scams, that would also protect them from a bunch of other crooked stuff.

For example: did you know an employer can reverse a direct deposit of a paycheck for some amount of time after it seems to go through?[1] Employees get screwed all the time when their employer randomly decides "oops, we paid you too much" after the money is already spent. Which is insane and unfair but---we wouldn't even have to change the system to protect many employees. Just have banks clearly indicate which direct deposits are final and which might still go poof if the employer unilaterally decides.

Try lowering carbs in your foods. Drop sodas, alcohol, sweets and snacks. Don't add sugar to your coffee or tea. First 2 weeks will be a bit difficult and you'll see just how addictive those things are, but after that you'll be fine without them and feel better.
I never liked this story. Meat, according to Wikipedia, is "animal flesh that is eaten as food". So they're familiar with biological creatures very similar to those on earth, and they eat them? But at the same time, they have trouble with the concept that biological creatures can have some degree of intelligence? That's just nonsense.

And why then do they keep using this term "meat", which refers only to some parts of animals?

Maybe that's just me, but I feel like the point of the story is to gross the reader out by repeatedly calling them "meat". ;)
IMO it is too basic. No broad phase, no smart polygon intersections, and far from touching Bezier curves and paths. But the tutorial is well made.
Not the same story but related: Microsoft had to rebrand his online storage SkyDrive to OneDrive once because the television broadcaster "Sky" won a trademark lawsuit in UK.

Can anyone tell me how this is possible? Why am I not allowed to use the word "sky" in any product name completely unrelated to TV?
While it may not be surprising that Google is taking this action, the claim that the author is being disingenuous seems unfair. As far as I can tell, Google itself is making the word "droid" a key element of its objection [1] (the author did not name his company OrpheusAndroid), so issues raised by its meaning, origin and usage are in scope (they may also be moot if Google has or licenses "droid" itself as a trademark.)

[1] "As I guessed, on last day of the time period to object, there comes a mail from Trade Mark Registry of a opposition from Google claiming that I infringe the word "droid" and its similar to 'Android" for which they own trademark. The entire opposition notice was flooded with word droid."
I think you're slightly at cross-purposes: GP is saying that since globs lack the Kleene star, they cannot be used to define all regular languages.

Star-free languages are a strict subset of the set of regular languages, so there exist regular languages that require the Kleene star to be represented as a regular expression; indeed the Wikipedia article you linked gives an example.

It's perhaps worth noting that neither regular expressions nor globs are themselves regular languages: they are just used to define regular languages. Consider that regular expressions usually require some form of parenthetical notation, and that languages with matched parentheses cannot be regular as a trivial consequence of the pumping lemma.
This is a REALLY good argument
This goes against my intuition in several ways, so I'm curious if there are examples to discuss.

- Scaled deployments have Segment connecting many systems run by many teams, so the cost of coordinating a replacement can go up just as fast as Segment's.

- High growth companies have fires everywhere, including other infrastructure, so it's not obvious that Segment makes it to the top of the list.

- I expect the bulk of Segment revenue is not from companies with "high growth" by HN standards but scaled enterprises with high complexity and lower growth. These can dominate net rev retention even if there are smaller companies growing faster.

Again, no data to support the above, just a different narrative. Anyone have facts?
There's lots of great Android phones at $300 or so. No need to get a bad one.
Lol Ive used Arch as a driver for about 9 years now. No problems. Meanwhile, I constantly get asked questions about how to unbreak colleague/friend Ubuntu setups because they broke things try to get a slightly more recent version of X package.

Rolling does not imply non-stable. Stability is the sum of many factors and to me, consistent packaging is key to that. Ubuntu and other distros that package software unconventionally is a maintenance headache for the original software authors and the enduser both. I frankly don’t understand why anyone would use it as a desktop driver.
With Arch, I feel in control. It has an "I built it, I can fix it" vibe. The result is it has been far more stable for me. I've struggled in the past with Ubuntu releases. I put them off, and then eventually I'm forced to update, and something somewhere breaks in a way I struggle to fix. Fedora, and Open SUSE were slightly more stable, but eventually I ran into the same issue.

Not with Arch, though. I have not run into a problem that I couldn't easily fix. I've been using it daily for a few years now, and I really love everything about it.
I wonder how much Clippy is to blame for the visual motif used in this comic strip.

Common motifs, elsewhere, for a shell are a dollar sign and an underscore or a greater than sign and an underscore. (The latter is somewhat odd for a shell, given that it more resembles the prompts on Microsoft/IBM command interpreters, and not the PS1 prompts of Unix shells, which are commonly dollar symbols, hashes, or percent signs rather than greater than.)

The security issue is a growing systemic problem. The hardware is fine, but the vendors no longer support it.

We are going to need a new revenue model or open-source paradigm to come to the forefront. The community approach is improving, but doesn't yet come close to the level of support one finds for Debian on the desktop.
> One year it’s Obama prosecuting whistleblowers, the next it’s Trump

I agree with you, but I hope you're not making a false-equivalence between Trump and Obama, or that the Obama administration's actions against free-speech had the same motivations - and lack of conscience - as the Trump administration's.

It would be much fairer to compare Bush Jr to Trump - it was under Bush Jr we got "free speech zones", for example.

The parser from the article's performance is closer to 360mb/sec, the 2gb/sec is only achieved by over-allocating an incredible amount of hardware. CSV parsing is such a simple problem there is no reason to waste a whole machine on it, and in many contemporary scenarios (AWS Lambda), it's simply not possible to waste a whole machine on it.

I never finished packaging and writing tests, but https://github.com/dw/csvmonkey hits 1.9gb/sec on certain data sets with one thread, and that implementation is not even representative of the limits of single thread performance. https://github.com/geofflangdale/simdcsv follows a similar approach to simdjson, where multiple passes over the input are used, but with lower latency vector instructions (csvmonkey used one of the slowest). Character set decoding is also fused into the parser. There are no benchmarks published in that repo, but I expect the approach trounces my effort even if the current implementation doesn't.

Why be satisfied saturating one NVMe drive when a few threads could saturate the PCIe bus instead?
> There is no need to buy the flagship phone every year or every two years. I can understand it if they cannot afford it, but anyone who’s into technology and can afford should make sure they have the latest software updates. They should also educate others about the importance of timely updates.

This is certainly not going to happen. When you get a new phone, there are only three ways it can hurt you: (1) costing money; (2) being the wrong shape; (3) having the latest software updates.

But getting the latest software updates is guaranteed to hurt you in way #3. If you update your software, a lot of it will stop working. Unsurprisingly, people have noticed this.
