What magic power did Nikon have, to put themselves in place to make money from digital cameras in 1999, that Kodak didn't?

Kodak had multiple opportunities to save themselves. I'm more than passingly familiar with their situation.
I agree with the SVN part. I learned how to use SVN before git and it helped me with learning how it worked.

Without a clean history it takes longer to find which commit changed things and why.
It seems like this would be somewhat of an interrelated valuation.

If launch costs decrease by an order of magnitude, reliability of payload can be relaxed, and therefore costs of payload engineering and manufacture decrease.
I don't understand your point, content signature verification would have the same consequences that HTTPS for non-repudiation, no?

Also it's really different from DKIM: the problem with DKIM is that since the signature is part of the email itself, so unless the receiver bothers to strip it (why would they?) then it's stored forever in the metadata, even though arguably its use as an anti-spam feature stops being relevant once it's been delivered to the MUA. So basically every time you send an email through gmail you effectively also send a signature saying "I, Google, vouch that h4x0r@gmail.com did send this email" and the receiving end will keep this signature for as long as they keep the email.

HTTPS session keys however are not typically saved unless somebody goes out of their way to do it. As such it's a lot less likely to be used for blackmail in hindsight. In general people use archive.org to prove that some content used to exist in this scenario, not old HTTPS session dumps.

And like for DKIM the solution is fairly trivial if it's really an issue: every time you rotate your keys (which should be fairly frequent if you use something like letsencrypt) be sure to make the expired private keys available publicly to give you plausible deniability.

I have yet to hear a good argument against HTTPS everywhere honestly, it generally boils down to "but I don't want to do it" with some weak post-hoc justification for why it's bad.

> the common NATO defense

Against whom? In practice, NATO is an offensive alliance: Afghanistan, Libya and Bosnia were not defensive wars.

NATO military spending already dwarfs that of any potential rival. Every dollar spent on the military is a dollar not spent on social programs, hospitals, schools, and other things that actually improve people's lives. Rather than pressuring everyone to ratchet up military spending, the world would be much better served by disarmament.

Appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to let us know that.
Not very impressive a CPU at 7-8W power drain beats or just trails behind a desktop class $799 Ryzen 9 5950x at +49W consumption in single threaded performance?
>I mean that's kind of expected if you compare a low-power CPU with fewer cores against an unlimited-cooling desktop monster with much more cores.

Are we looking at the same charts here? For cinebench multithreaded, the AMD 4xxx series CPUs are zen 2 parts with 15/35W TDP, hardly "unlimited-cooling desktop monster" like you described.
You need to use either merge or rebase, or git won't allow you to push. Also, pull doesn't modify your remote tracking branch (origin/branch) - fetch does that.

I do agree that usually, when you have a local branch dedicated to a particular remote tracking branch, it's not a good idea to merge the remote into your local branch - it's generally much better to rebase your local branch onto the remote tracking branch (pull -r).
Italian methods for cheesemaking are nearly identical to US methods (including, in most cases, pasteurization). I can't think of any cheese preparation differences that would have the slightest effect on lactose. It is the case that Italians eat more sheep milk cheese (pecorino) than Americans, and sheep milk has a bit less lactose. And Italians also eat more aged cheeses. But I don't think this is nearly enough to explain any differences you may have seen.
I suspect each component belongs to a separate team (each with its own backend infrastructure & load times).
That doesn’t scale.

If the solution was always just ‘show your code’, anyone could make up an allegation against them as a way to get them to reveal source code.

Also - arguing that if you’ve done nothing wrong you should have nothing to hide, is a bizarre position to take in an argument about privacy.

If we were to apply it to Apple, we would need to apply it to everyone.

If someone actually produced evidence of Apple lying here, that would be a different matter.

Nobody has produced any evidence at all.
Our business/regulatory environment reflects the values we wish to have, they are not a given and require work. We need concrete use cases to convince the public that privacy matters and to make it clear that technology can deliver it.

For example, in our local swim team, I pushed back on using Facebook live-stream for broadcasting a time trial (parent audience was not permitted due to COVID) and instead we distributed heat videos with a password protected server. It seems other teams went with the convenient approach, and now they are banned from recording (since a few parents, correctly, complained). Since then we have gotten permission to continue what we were doing, because we put privacy first. But even so, this begs the deeper question... why is privacy not the default? It's about monetization (cost) and convenience.
> I don't think it's in Google's best financial interest to fight against DRM. So they won't do that.

Yep, it's much cheaper to ensure employees to give money to EFF ;)
IIRC the biggest Zen3 mobile CPUs are 8-core. So they'll have at most 2x cores. And that's ignoring the low-power cores on the mac which probably still count for half a core each.

AMD is likely to be faster in multicore overall, but not by much it seems.
> The reason email doesn't support unsending is not some essential property of messaging. It's just that at the time our email protocol was defined,

email supports unsending in exactly the same ways you described for packages. It most definitely is a property of messaging.

Your fron porch is called "outbox". works the same - you can delete from outbox before sending.

If both you and your recipient are on a properly configured Microsoft Exchange server, you can unsend a message, which is similar to the university department.

And if you aren't, you can still send a message saying "hey, please don't open the last email", and it's up to the other side if they do or don't.

For better and worse, email has a lot of similarity to real mail, down to the distinction between content and envelope.

The main difference is the speed of delivery - you would not expect any of the ways you suggested to work 3 months after you've sent your package -- and yet, compared to the 500ms or so that it takes the email to reach the recipient, that's what attempting to unsend after one minute is.
Our current energy sources would be in jeopardy during the aftermath.
>I'm curious what other people think the informational value of these hearings are.

Considering that they are not even under oath, precisely zero. They can lie to the lawmakers' faces with no recourse.

I very distinctly remember Jack telling congress the time before last that they "do not shadowban", and then screenshots of their admin dashboard were leaked[1] that show they explicitly did have multiple kinds of shadowbans.

Ask HN: Citizen Terms for the Great Reset?
The Great Reset appears to be happening. Companies and countries seem to be working together to implement a new international system. I don't see any voices representing citizens in articles or anywhere else. Citizens should have a voice (equal? higher?) in how this should unfold.

What can citizens reasonably expect from companies?
-what can they provide?
-what can't they provide?

What can citizens reasonably expect from countries?
-what can the provide?
-what can't they provide?

What can citizens expect from one another?
-what can we provide?
-what can't we provide?
You're right. This is why "defaults" need to be part of the conversation.

Agree. But don't you think this would come off as a lot less impressive if Anandtech had included all of the old rivals from 1-4 years ago that still rank above the M1?

"If you currently own a 2016 15" Acer, buying the new 2020 MacBook will be a downgrade." sounds pretty lame to me.

That's why I said they had a very Apple-friendly comparison set.
M1 has multiple cores. 2x-4x multiple cores does not necessarily mean 2x-4x faster.

Rebasing one tree on another is a pretty specific thing, you may not need to do it very often.

But casually manipulating the order of, or combining or filtering, patches near the top of the tree is something else. There are tools for this, eg

> It's probably not that efficient anyway to be using pihole's filtering in Firefox compared with just ublock origin anyway.

Pihole operates at the network level. It can block Windows Telemetry, ads on your Roku, smart devices trying to phone home, etc. Any guest devices that connect to your network also benefit without you having to install blockers on them.

It's not a replacement for ublock, it's used in conjunction with it.
I set my dad up with Firefox + ublock origin. Next time I visit he's changed to Edge and 85% of his screen is covered in blinking adverts on some news site he looks at.

> compared to the last version of this [Macbook Pro] model we reviewed in 2019, the new one has no concerns with its keyboard, excellent battery life, and even better performance. It’s an upgrade all around.

That's the most important part.
I have a theory on why ST perf is always the most important metric for me, and some other folks. When you're waiting for something synchronously, like rendering a webpage, stuff to open, etc. you're usually running a ST load. For stuff that can benefit from multithreading it's usually planned task. So does it make a difference if it takes 4 minutes compared to 3? You will still context switch.
The problem is "guaranteed source of truth" doesn't exist. When the network operator is you, or your family/company, you may trust the local DNS to respect your privacy more than you do Cloudflare. Not all names are intended to resolve the same everywhere -- sometimes the local DNS will give the RFC1918 address for a local server instead of the public one, or have a set of local names that are only accessible on the local network. How do you propose to globally resolve the reverse lookup zones for 10.0.0.0/8 et al?
Git is like piano. You can play chopsticks or Berliotz. Are piano's too hard? Unlike other tools out there, git is utterly transparent on the mechanics above and under the hood.

Yeah, as someone whose next laptop wont be a Mac again, this was a good ad for what AMD has achieved lately. MyLenovo P1 got a Intel Xeon of some kind, and while I'm otherwise very happy with the Laptop, the CPU is hot, uses way too much power and constantly throttles.

I wonder if it is something to do with this information:

Josh Hawley is a US Senator for Missouri.
Stock market usually looks at the future valuation of a company. I think TSLA will hold its value for the next 3-4 years. But, other manufacturers are going to catch up after that. For most of the investors, 3-4 years is enough to invest today. The rest of them believe that Tesla is going to keep its innovation pace in other areas like self driving cars.
One of the biggest problems in Among US is out of bounds cheating. That is players that are in the same physical room or on chat (Discord is most common). Nothing is more frustrating than someone accusing another player and having "my friend told me on Discord" as proof. Espcially in a psychological game like this.

I think the only "solution" you end up to avoid cheaters will be to gather a collection of trusted friends to play with, as finding good public games is to much hit and miss. Which is a shame as I enjoyed playing with random strangers a lot.
Probably right. I have family that works for Intel, and I have heard stories about the amenities and infrastructure (like "Air Intel," a fleet of corporate jets that take employees between Intel campuses).
Most of my 'side projects' are at home and not public. If you were to see my github page it is empty. I personally find with most of my 'side projects' are one off and sometimes I might pluck out a function or two out of something else but that is it. They are like you said mostly static and never really revisited.

I wonder if a 'rules of the road' sort of document in repos would help? A sort of 'here is what you can expect from the maintainer of this repo'. I think some people end up taking on too much and then you find out some key bit of infrastructure is done by 1 guy in his spare time, and managing their own job. Then others come along and expect you to fix it for them when you pretty much have abandoned the project. For example many of my projects would be in a 'AS-IS' category, if I made them public. I am not going to really revisit a project from 6 years ago that did something specific I needed. Not even if you show up with a nice pull request unless I am feeling particularly charitable that day.
It's certainly an impressive achievement and makes it pretty clear why Apple is transitioning away from Intel. I'm a bit surprised that the fact that this is on the TSMC 5nm process seems to be glossed over in the comments. Apple is benefitting from some what seem like on the surface to be significant process improvements. Will be interesting to see how other players take advantage of it as well.
Well of course AirBnb is "better placed"; they're ignoring local zoning. It's probably an indication airbnb has a negative impact on the places you're visiting.
I get why this idea of becoming iOS-like is uncomfortable for a lot of people, but will they take away the POSIX-ness of the OS? What about all the people that spend all their time in Vim, TMUX, Emacs, and/or zsh? I think these people will continue to be pretty happy on macOS if they already are.

In my experience, installing alternate OS's on Mac hardware has never been frictionless or satisfying anyway.
So I guess the counter argument that these platforms are acting as newspapers with editors is that they didn't actually make an editorial decision by limiting virality or putting a warning message on posts and articles.
No really most people don't care. Out of a group of 4 tech people that I spoke about privacy, one is concerned but won't go further than having an iPhone (even if he knows privacy is just marketing from Apple) and the others though they have the technical knowledge to make some changes really don't care.

One even told me that he wished Google knew him better so some functionalities worked better for him.

The non tech people don't even let me talk to them about privacy. I lost half my Whatsapp contacts that didn't want to install Signal.

This story is a conspiracy theory. Literally.

At least one difference I notice in this case is that neither the article itself, nor the comments in this thread (at the time of writing this) contain either of the terms "conspiracy theory" or "QAnon" - but attach either of those, and you'll find all sorts of people who will suddenly develop a very passionate sense of caring/interest of a different kind: in discrediting, downvoting, and silencing anyone who in any way supports or perpetuates this type of a story.

In this case, I suspect the main difference is that the "public relations" departments of the Canadian Government and CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) are bush league compared to that of the US. In the US, this story would probably have been preemptively "taken care of" in the media before it even broke, or in 24 hours via a full court press if it did happen to accidentally fall through the cracks, and people would fall in line as they always do.

Let's wait and see how the Canucks respond, assuming this gets any traction in mainstream newspapers (I'm guessing it does not).
Even when open-sourcing code for dull work problems, there are other things to offer besides a "production quality" library. Well-organized data files in a simple format could help people. I've snatched CSVs and JSON files from plenty of GitHub repos, even if I never use the repo's primary language. Saves me days of effort.
All of the above, the worst of those being the 2nd.

They’ll be 2-4x faster in some multicore tasks. CPU benchmarks specifically break out single core performance as a separate metric, because as of 2020 a lot of everyday work is single core bound (stuff like 3D graphic design, video editing or compiling large codebases not considered “everyday work”).

Not to mention that even in multicore tasks, you don’t usually scale perfectly linearly due to overhead. And also, the biggest Ryzen processors are usually in desktops, and Apple Silicon hasn’t entered that market yet.
If you want a laugh, go in an enterpise PM meeting, listen to their pain points, and pipe up that you could write an integration of (system X) and (system Y) (that they spend most of their day copying and pasting data between) in a weekend.
I'm not in that camp as I am a History/CS major. My dad had a PhD in English. My CS education was much less relevant to me than the History side. Love liberal arts. ;)

It's bullshit in the sense that if you're going to be a PhD, you generally want to move to industry, enter a career path where the rigor of the PhD process pays off or tenure track academia. If the academic prospects are so poor that you get a raise managing a Starbucks rather than being a contract visiting professor for 18-36 month stints, that's bullshit in my book.
Small business in the US is really ambiguous, but mom and pop is used very differently than small business. IMO, this bill doesn’t really line up well with the classic small / mid sized distinctions, but that’s political. Everyone wants to say they helped small businesses, and this is aimed in that general direction.

“In the United States, the Small Business Administration establishes small business size standards on an industry-by-industry basis, but generally specifies a small business as having fewer than 500 employees for manufacturing businesses and less than $7.5 million in annual receipts for most non-manufacturing businesses.[4][5] The definition can vary by circumstance—for example, a small business having fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees with average annual wages below $50,000 qualifies for a tax credit under the health care reform bill Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[6]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_business#Size_definition...

A sub 500 person factory could easily be too large for this bill, on the other hand an ACA small business would be tiny by comparison.
