"unique upsides from the Xorg experience"

Genuine question, from a users perspective what are they?

You're mostly right in everything, except that 'the Deep State' is not that deep and is not that much part of the state - most US propaganda is actually pretty transparently done by the corporate sector. We call it PR and marketing now, but it is exactly propaganda, used to great effectiveness everywhere in the world. Teb other major leg of US propaganda is the entertainment industry, which is also extremely effective at selling grand narratives, and has a very favorable lens from which it always presents the US and its allies, whether it be in gaming, mass market films, or even critical darlings (see the fawning reception the extremely pro-American, pro-militaristic 'The Hurt Locker' got everywhere in the critical press).

I can completely read Vonnegut's 'Cat's Cradle' in about 3-4 hours--just a nice afternoon. When I read Rushdie's 'Satanic Verses' or Pynchon's 'Gravity's Rainbow' it can easily take me 3-4 months (though if binged, it would probably take a month), not just due to length differences prose style. Vonnegut is conversational (Pynchon's 'Crying of Lot 49' is almost as easy as Vonnegut's books) Rushdie and Pynchon are (usually) dense and complex. So some books will take most people a lot more time than just binging GoT end to end. But some aren't much more than a long movie.

I’ve seen a lot of the following: Person B is mildly competent, but keeps having their bad ideas shot down. Person D is not, but uses their diverse identity as a crutch. Person C ends up a bystander, blamed for the bad deeds of Person D because B+D have formed an unholy alliance with B providing the technical cover and D providing the outrage, making the bad technical decision about identity instead, despite them not speaking for all of identity. Between the two of them, the are able to wield power for mediocre ideas, and mediocre ideas are often much worse than bad ones. Bad ideas get thrown out or die. Mediocre ones gum up the works for ages to come.

Master vs Main is not a big deal. Changing the default without any technical advantage is a pain in the ass. Had they bundled it with Git V3 when moving to sha256 and everyone having to rebuild their repositories anyway (another mediocre technical idea), it would be palatable.

I do think there are times when they are juxtaposed. "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" is the cliché. Ideally they can coexist, but for the libertarian ideal to work, humans have to be rationale. I think we are anything but rational although we like to pretend we are
most times.

That consent, to a certain extent, is implicit on being a willing participant in a free democratic society. It's part of the social contract.

>"the people are the government" in approximately the same way that individuals cells are a human being

I don't think I agree with this analogy. A collection of human cells cannot volitionally decide for the human being to become something wholly different. A government, by the people, can change it's entire makeup to serve it's changing values. When I say the people are the government, I mean the people in a functioning democracy have the power to make the government reflect their value system. I feel like you are misinterpreting my statement by reading it through a individualist/collectivist lens.

NVENC does have lower latency than Intel Quick Sync, NVENC > Quick Sync in all regards. I'd be ok with using Intel Quick Sync though, the only one I would avoid entirely is AMD VCN. I haven't looked into or compared encoders since 2017 but the takeaway was that software offered the best in latency and IQ. Dependent of course on what software is doing the encoding. I focused on Steam.

I just dug up one of my sources for you, you'll enjoy this.[0] It may no longer be accurate but it's at least suggestive. They all have similar latency, but you'll see the in the longest delay results (my eyeballs always focus on worst-case), has the software encoder on top. I'm currently considering a 5800X (higher sustained boost clocks due to heat/VRMs) or 5900X (lower sustained boost but more cores for potentially better streaming) to upgrade my system.

Given an 8+ core system can encode so well, I'm fine with either a 6800XT or 6080. I really don't have enough information yet. For years I used to buy based on NV's OpenGL support (and after NV's Vista driver blunders, AMD), but since the Oculus Quest was released, my primary deciding factor is VR performance. NV has held the edge there historically, but 16GB VRAM for the same price is not to be dismissed outright. If NV will match AMD's 16GB at a similar MSRP I'd go that route, the GDDR6X would cut into their margins pretty good though so I'm not holding my breath. I find AMD's Infinity Cache approach so interesting that I'm leaning towards rewarding their innovation. It works so well while cutting costs means that their approach is probably the future for all GPUs.

Anyway, with this evidence you hopefully now have more hardware to choose from for your upgrade. I had a great luck with Nvidia for a long time (currently using Pascal), but zero good reason to be entirely at Nvidia's mercy these days. Radeons got a big bump in quality since AMD bought ATI and it'll continue to get better.

They are correct in a sense that it was doing it "without notice". But they had a good reason to do the slowdowns, no malice needed, their one and only big mistake here was doing it without a notice.

The reason they did it was to prevent battery degradation and bad battery life by throttling the CPU. Except back then, iPhone CPUs weren't overperforming monsters they are today, so the slowdown was fairly noticeable. And when done without a notice or reason, you get a perfect publicity shitstorm.

In fact, this feature actually still exists for iPhones, except it now officially exists in settings and can be disabled. It throws a notification on yours screen and auto-activates if your battery degrades below certain level, but it can be disabled (so you can choose whether to prioritize performance or preventing battery from further degradation) by a simple click in a settings menu. And it also explains exactly and in very simple language what this feature does. It isn't hidden behind a million menus either, it is right there in settings => battery => battery health.

EDIT: to clarify, Apple throttling was not only done to prevent it from holding less charge due to battery degradation. Battery degradation to a certain level also led to iPhones rebooting randomly. And apparently it was not that rare of an issue, because the reason I posted this edit in the first place was due to seeing more than a few comments in this thread mentioning that it had happened to them.
It occurs to me that if anyone is going to release an ARM based CPU that is competitive with Apple, it's Nvidia. A Microsoft/ Nvidia partnership could create some pretty impressive Surface laptops, and if Nvidia were allowed to sell those CPUs to OEMs for other 2 in 1s or laptops, Microsoft might just get some traction on their ARM efforts.
Because it takes far longer to confirm if a claim is true or not than it does to make a claim.

> rich enough to buy the newspaper

That's not how it worked. The moment Gutenberg invented the printing press, printers popped up everywhere and printed anything and everything. That means newspapers, newsletters, pamphlets, flyers, advertisements, bills, leaflets, everything.

It was cheap to print, not remotely restricted to the rich, and you certainly did not need to buy a newspaper. Schools print newspapers, businesses do, too.

A lot of it was political, too. For a famous example, see "Common Sense".

> The corporations had the choice to continue to be complicit, silence him completely or provide some balance from other sources

I am not so sure. Did they really have a choice?

I think the financial incentives are lined up so that inevitably such a click-baity behavior and culture is nearly impossible to ignore for the news media as a whole. How can everyone choose not to report together, when it makes such a good-selling piece of content?

I am starting to think that algorithm-driven news sources and targeted advertising is something we should consider banning. Breaking up our collective culture into small bubbles of isolated realities is something that is driving many countries, not just the US, apart.

Even in Finland I see people who are not only entertaining, but 100% believing all the Trump conspiracies based on stories, Twitter posts etc. picked up from social media, although we pretty much don't have any mainstream news here. Even if the educated and responsible journalists have been drowned by the flood of fake news, do-it-yourself journalism and information warfare. They cannot keep up and don't have the time to fact check everything. And when they do, the people who believe in this... shit, have already moved on to the next piece of content that supports their view.

F this.

What an incredibly paternalistic and disappointing quote from Obama. “If we don’t have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from false”.

So clearly we need the gov’t to step in help the rabble who are clearly unable to figure out the “truth” on their own.

Does he realize this is the exact argument authoritarian gov’ts give for censorship? We need to censor to avoid “social disharmony” or stop those “fomenting discord”.
One of the reasons Hacking Healthcare happened is the huge dearth of material for just this question, unfortunately I don't have anything else on that still. One absolutely timeless work not directly about technology but that is still very relevant is "The House of God". It is "fiction" but it is probably the most realistic depiction of the actual happenings at hospitals that exists and as a result something technologists can benefit from.
If one considers the App Store as a marketplace and that it can be considered analogous to E-Commerce marketplaces, then a 15% fee is actually directly in-line with the standard set by Amazon and Walmart.com.
Exactly and this is the dirty little detail that people don't want to realize. People think you can just censor right wing misinformation but guess what happens? The right wing movements simply create their own websites and start blocking anything that is a counter argument. Biggest example is reddit which has focused on blocking right wing groups. /r/thedonald used to be big on reddit but they got banned. So they went on to create their own version of reddit and now that website has exploded in popularity. It is apparently in the top 500 most visited websites in the USA now.

It is very likely that moving forward, many right wing people will shift away platforms like facebook, twitter, and reddit. In fact, these platforms already exist. Gab is a replacement for facebook and parler is a replacement for twitter.

Here's some perspective: NH is one of the most politically correct online forums in US. US itself is one of the most politically correct and tolerant countries in the world.

>It’s not just about hosting, they also provide basically the entire software stack you’re using. Pricing that is difficult but I don’t think it should be disregarded.

The entire Software stack are included in the iPhone purchase price, and as of 2018 they are included in Apple's Services revenue on a per unit cost including but not limited to OS, Siri and Maps.

The software stack argument makes sense in consoles where they are selling at cost or barely break even from a BOM / Hardware perspective. But Apple is making industry leading profit margin on all front. So Apple is double dipping, as Apple like to call it in the case against Qualcomm.
[edit: I missed that the parent comment was scoped to iPhone, rather than the OP story about Macs.]

You can distribute [macOS] apps directly to customers.

From Apple's site:

"While the Mac App Store is the safest place for users to get software for their Mac, you may choose to distribute your Mac apps in other ways. Gatekeeper on macOS helps protect users from downloading and installing malicious software by checking for a Developer ID certificate. Make sure to test your apps with the latest version of macOS and sign your apps, plug-ins, or installer packages to let Gatekeeper know they’re safe to install.
You can also give users even more confidence in your apps by submitting them to Apple to be notarized."

> During the 15th week of the year, we saw the highest death rate in Sweden this millenium. A total number of 2505 people, 358 a day, passed away. Not since the first week of year 2000 that many people have died in Sweden. The 14th and 16th week of 2020 is third and fourth respectively on that same list. The month of April is the deadliest in Sweden since the 1990s with 10 458 deaths. You have to go back to December 1993, when 11,057 people died, to find a higher figure. At that time, the flu was unusually malignant. If you go past that month, you have to look back to 1918 and the Spanish flu to find a more deadly month.[0]

> For a react app all what that javascript from bootstrap does is get in the way

But don't you have the choice to not use Bootstrap's JS then, and instead use either premade React components that are vanilla JS or use React Bootstrap components if you wanted to?

I'll admit I haven't written any React code but if I Google for React Bootstrap components I find a ton of resources, even 1 to 1 ports like https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/alerts/. I also see tons upon tons of vanilla JS React components, all ready to go where you can drop in CSS class names and you're done.

Someone not using React with Tailwind is left with basically having to implement everything on their own, or try to stitch together a bunch of libs that others have written with their own individual opinions and lack of standards. It's a much different world. It's a world where you can spend 10 hours trying to get a responsive drop down working instead of 10 seconds with Bootstrap.

Yesterday there was a discussion on the HN frontpage about Firefox "HTTPS-Only Mode" and the thread's 2nd to top comment was a user saying they wanted only one source of DNS data: their ISP. (No other alternatives or backups.)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25122260

Perhaps some users really do not care if their ISP now or in the future censors their access to resources on the internet. Perhaps some users will only start to care about the potential for censorship when a site being censored is one they want to access.

Generally, anyone using third party DNS is potentially subject to censorship via an easy, popular method.

SNI is another easy method. Browsers by default send plaintext SNI to every HTTPS site. However not all HTTPS sites require SNI (check for presence of SNI or check SNI against Host header). Additionally, all Cloudflare sites support encrypted SNI.
This is exactly the issue with all recommendation systems. It's silly when I look at Amazon and see 15 different cat water trays just because I got one for my cat a month ago - but when it comes to social media the effect is really poisonous. YouTube is a good example: if I listen to something about Roman history it's all Rome all the time - a much better recommendation would be to suggest Greek / Persian history - rather than pigeon-holing me after 1 or 2 videos.

I really think I would watch more videos if the recommendations -challenged- what I enjoyed, rather than couching me, but I have to assume that someone has run that experiment and ad revenue went down.
