Although politicians and the court does not understand the cookie, That doesn't mean we won't have a backlash. It just doesn't guarantee the backlash is technologically sound. EU's cookie law, for example, is just stupid from the pure technical standpoint.

It's your computer that store a cookie to local storage. It's your computer that decide to send back previously stored cookie. And they're crying like they don't have a consent.
Venezuela has a peg to another currency doesn't it. And government bonds issued in denominations other than bolivar.

What is the UK pegged to? What alternative denominations are UK bonds in?

There is literally no mechanism by which UK sovereign bonds cannot be changed back into Sterling. None.

So it can only matter in the minds of those people who haven't a clue how currencies actually work.

The motivation could be altruistic. But OP implies they were blindsided by human nature. Given the adversarial aim of the project, which was known to them when they built the protocols, and the personal writings of its designers, I question that assumption.

The protocols weren’t naïvely designed. They were designed against the threats of the day. The threat model has changed, making the protocols look childishly optimistic in the way someone walking into a modern battlefield with a wooden shield and sword might .

> I wonder if the existence of such giant monopolies is more of a symptom or result of a non-functioning capitalist system.

I think it’s a simple confluence of the US having many English speaking people with lots of money, plus English is spoken worldwide, plus labor is readily available in the US.

There exists buyers, labor supply, and the inherent ability for software to scale with very low marginal costs means targeting the US market results in a higher probability of success.

Once you can grab the rich US market, you now have the momentum to grab other markets, and being first is more important than being better where network effects are in play.
Is the goal to build the actual workings of the app (you want to learn CRUD app development)? Or do you have a product/service that you want to sell using the app (e.g. you want people to be able to create an account and buy and sell).

In the first case just search for tutorials or best practices on building apps. For the second case, just use an off the shelf application.
I agree that the EU has too many regulations preventing innovation and high taxation preventing investment. However, I think the main reason is that "big tech" is a winner take all market. For example, look at Google, they are investing way more than $10 billion in their cloud and yet still can't make a dent in AWS, even Microsoft is still far away. Same thing with search (Microsoft invested billions in bing) or Office (Google investing billions in docs) etc. There is no way in hell €10B is going to be enough. The market already picked AWS.

The only country where these are not dominant is simply the one where they prevent these winners from entering, that would be China, they have their own cloud, search, retail etc.
As an average, I guess it's about right for Germany.
Another hard earned €10B gonna go down the drain.

It's pathetic that people in Germany and other countries have to pay 50% taxes for BS like this.
When the vast majority of people agree that we should do something reasonable for the common good and you disagree loudly while flailing your arms about, then it doesn't make you a defender of liberty, it makes you an obnoxious moron.

"As Brother Francis readily admitted, his mastery of pre-Deluge English was far from masterful yet. The way nouns could sometimes modify other nouns in that tongue had always been one of his weak points. In Latin, as in most simple dialects of the region, a construction like servus puer meant about the same thing as puer servus, and even in English slave boy meant boy slave. But there the similarity ended. He had finally learned that house cat did not mean cat house, and that a dative of purpose or possession, as in mihi amicus, was somehow conveyed by dog food or sentry box even without inflection. But what of a triple appositive like fallout survival shelter?"

(Brother Francis goes on to assume that it is a shelter for the Fallout, which as far as he knows is a wandering demonic spirit, to survive in.)
How many will die if every human alive today gets Covid-19, and will those who survive be able to repopulate the Earth, or will the percentage lost be a barley noticeable blip when individuals in the year 3000 look at the chart of human population growth from the dawn of humanity to their current age, assuming our species survives that long? If a blip, this has all been much ado about nothing.
Google already knows anyways, using the map to set home is just for user convenience.
This postmortem is incomplete: it fails to address the main three roots of the problem:

3. Clearly one of their employees was using a port forward to access production.
The EU has been in that program going all the way back to agricultural subsidies. I see those subsidies and research funds as the historically first form of a massive UBI scheme, an electorate-friendly scheme. Its just that the Income comes with a lot of bureaucracy and a menial job.

The scheme is not sustainable but at least it prevents social upheaval

That isn't direct democracy. That is a republican form of government. Whenever you have representatives instead of citizens governing themselves, you can have situations where the government saves the citizenry from themselves but also situations where the representatives exploit the government for themselves. Both cases have happened throughout history and are happening with the coronavirus.

In the US, Fauci was initially anti-mask to preserve supplies for health care officers. This theoretically saved citizenry from themselves but at the cost of long term trust in institutions.

Democrat led governments lengthened lockdowns for political gain. Republican led governments shortened lockdowns for political gain.

- Democrats point at the increased infection rates in Republican states as proof that lockdown measures are still necessary but ignore much lower death rates we are seeing.

- Republicans point to the economic devastation that lockdowns cause as cause to end lockdowns without proper planning to limit infection.

- Democrats push for very large stimulus over loosening lockdowns without discussing the long term costs of adding so much to the deficit and the long term costs to the economy.

- Democrats hoist blame at Trump but ignore how certain Democratic run states were some of the worst at initially handling the coronavirus.

- Trump overhypes the availability of vaccines and underplayed the virus.

I read somewhere - I believe on HN actually, some time ago - that a number of high profile sites were exempted from this restriction, Netflix among them. Really, wasn't this a thread right here on HN, saying that this was anti-competitive, oligopoly essentially, making any other sites of smaller competitors and upstarts automatically worse off? I'm sure someone will be able to provide a link...

There are other examples where only the large sites benefit while everybody else has to play by stricter rules: "EU Parliament bans geoblocking, exempts Netflix and other streaming services" -- https://www.dw.com/en/eu-parliament-bans-geoblocking-exempts...

EDIT: User teraflop posted a link to the list of "sites that are allowed to autoplay video even without any prior media engagement" right here in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24818178
That’s why I originally brought up Netflix, even though their domain is very different than Facebook. Netflix seems to have decided that the best way to optimize for renewals is to get subscribers to spend more time on the service overall. Which isn’t unlike Facebook et al doing the same for ad views.

> It is an active process, which generates metabolites, some of which have been shown to be harmful to the inner ear. You probably want to have a period where the auditory system can wind down, regenerate and prepare for the next wake period.

Something like 30% of people suffer from tinnitus. Falling asleep with a loud ringing is hard, and for those suffering it's not like we get an auditory break anyway.

I wonder, can others not hear their pulse through their pillow when in a dead quiet room? It's very annoying and I have to fall asleep on my back if a room is that quiet.

> I've not heard "denial", a la Trump, from Johnson.

He literally said it himself when he recovered from COVID-19

> A few hours later, he received a positive test result, and the next day he made a video statement in which he said he was self-isolating, but would continue to work and lead Britain’s coronavirus response.

> But during the next nine days, as he worked in isolation in an apartment above his official Downing Street residence and office, his condition deteriorated, with persistent symptoms including a high temperature.

> Later, he said he had been in denial and continued to work despite feeling groggy and “pretty rough”, until doctors told him firmly to go to hospital.

Boris Johnson was forced to change attitude, but he didn't believe covid-19 was a life threatening disease.

> The quote from Johnson isn't talking about what you're inferring. It was a broad statement of what was going to happen

If he hadn't been in denial he could have acted sooner and save a lot of those people that instead died.

It's the PM responsibility and anybody else.

If we were talking about Italy, for example, I would tell you that 60% of the covid related deaths are a responsibility of Attilio Fontana, the president of Regional Council of Lombardy who left elderly to die in nursing homes while he was subcontracting the supply of medical equipment to his brother in law and when journalists found out he tried to repay the debt using his own money from a Swiss account (yes, he has secret money in Switzerland)

But in UK B.J. is the major responsible for the debacle.

I mean, Samsung is one of the largest companies in the world and they already run a global cloud infrastructure to support their electronics division. I can't imagine that a PM who really cared would have much trouble getting a couple of endpoints provisioned if he or she wanted them.

The more likely scenario is that they came up with what they thought was a good-enough solution and just moved on without really considering the knock-on effects.
>CPUs get more energy efficient at lower speed. or a given process, energy/op is roughly linear with clock speed.

That is not true. For any given node process, with the same CPU design there is an optimal energy efficiency curve with regards to its clock speed. Any lower doesn't save you energy per workload, higher means you are paying Exponentially more energy.
Names of locations in assembly language are typically constants, similar to global arrays in C. There's no my_ptr, as such; there's an address, and my_ptr is its name. When you watch my_ptr, you want to monitor what's at that address - ``watch *my_ptr'', in gdb terms.

Not the end of the world, just annoying.
Yeah, and it happens but wire transfers can be a real pain depending on the bank. And you need to get the account number of landlord, and now you don't have a simple way (the canceled check) of proving you paid rent. While less than ideal, checks often have the most upside, which is why they still get used.

Another way of looking at it, a check is more or less a form of wire transfer using the ACH system. I just wish there was a way to remove the paper check aspect of it, in a way that is commonly accepted by private individuals + small business in addtion to big outfits.
I recommend to every hiperactive-proactive sociopahts that currently are expert on AI to stop increasing the chance to more than 98% of people dedicated to this career -> create,fix or maintain software in the world lose its jobs doing stupid things like this, are you pro-capitalism?, pro-monarchy? pro-poverty.. really?, this is what governments want you do, they don't have the capability in its brains to control a technology like this and they will destroy everything like currently are trying to do with several little countries cataloged like terrorists!

IMHO Hetzner is far above AWS/GC/Azure in price and simplicity.

The only drawback I see in Hetzner is that they don't have a lot of data centers with a relevant geographic dispersion, but that's only relevant for a Unicorn-level scale, or applications that require TP99.99 latency in the lower-end of the double-digit scale uniformly throughout the globe.

I would say that, at least in current US politics, it's more like a tyranny of the minority, abusing the system to increase the relative disparity of power.
I think it's funny to see people dismiss those who want to "tear down the system and replace it" as something untenable and hard to achieve, then go on to propose proportional representation.

How do you see any sort of path forward for proportional representation being adopted as an amendment to the constitution? I see no path towards 2/3 majority voting for that.

Hey thanks for the comment. Could you talk about what you see as an alternative...but assuming that k8s (most likely some cloud managed flavor like eks, etc) is what the native devops is based on ?

What I'm seeing is that ML/data engineering is diverging from devops reality - and going and building its own orchestration layers. Which is all but impractical except at the largest orgs.

I'm yet to find something that fits in with kubernetes. Which is why it seems everyone is using fully managed solutions here like Sagemaker
> Scaleway looked closer to an AWS competitor but I haven't used it enough to know how good it is.

I've tried out Scaleway a while ago , and unfortunately they double-charged my CC just because. I'm not sure how widespread is that behavior, but to me it was enough to remain a OVH/Hetzner client.
Could you expand on why you consider this vulnerability to be such a major indicator of incompetence, versus all the other major vulnerabilities that regularly pop up in software? They all seem obvious in hindsight, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20.

(2) to see if AI would or could create a language that was profoundly different to any existing 'human created' programming language
(3) to see if this kind of exercise could give us any new insights into aspects of the nature of programming languages
(4) to see if it was possible to use such an exercise to improve upon or refine existing 'language development tools' for creating domain specific Languages (DSLs)

I can understand some Esperanto videos where the speaker is extremely fluent and talking very fast. If I could slow down the videos, I could transcribe almost the full thing even if I don't know all the vocabulary. That is impressive to me.

That is something that I struggle with - I think people who think you have to take Stoicism all or nothing have it wrong.

But, if you accept that it was average people coming up with the best ideas that they could at the time, that they could wrong, and that you could take what is good and improve on that which is deficient - that is the right way to approach anything generally.

The same for Stoicism - don’t treat it as religious dogma - treat as ideas to wrestle with and learn from.

There are also varying degrees of lockdowns that can be effected depending on the situation. My point being that lockdown is a last-resort blunt tool used to prevent an explosion of cases overwhelming health care capacity, it's not something that people inherently support indefinitely. We don't cream our pants thinking about how great a world under lockdown is.
