At least here it's certainly very possible to avoid palm oil. Read the list of ingredients and don't buy anything with palm oil as a listed ingredient. Always read the ingredients and the nutritional information.

That's not accurate though, is it? Unless you're exaggerating for effect.

I don't think most people on HN are against non-free products at all. I think they're against products that provide little value compared to their price.

There may also be some general exhaustion from so many products moving to a subscription model, instead of an old-fashioned one-off purchase. $9/month may not seem a lot, but it quickly adds up.

When I had cable internet DOCSIS only configured this cheap "modem" box that I bought. It pretty much was just an adapter that turned the cable connection into an ethernet one. It sounds to me like people in this thread are buying routers with a built in modem and that creates a security problem because of how DOCSIS allows firmware uploads?
Alone the amount of tarmac for jet runways is massive. It is also often concrete which has a massive CO2 impact.
Yes but the key is to have an ISP that [is forced to] allows you to get your own modem. Also most of the world is on DOCSIS 3.0, so any older than that is DOCSIS 2.0 which would be max 50 Mbps which is not ... nice, and that's DSL territory (VDSL2 does up to 100/30 Mbps).

Being able to use your own modem would fix a lot of problems I have with DOCSIS ISPs, but sadly there's no regulation for it. So yeah, you have to use theirs.

Can you explain how Apple’s anti tracking measures are going to hurt small business and make fraud easier?
Agreed. Safer would be 222nm UVC as it can't penetrate the outer layer of the eye. This is what medical facilities actually use. Unfortunately no LED's exist that can emit in this range at a useful output power. This is still limited to excimer lamps. There are LEDs in this range, but they can't emit high enough output to break down genetic material.
Same reason there's a thriving market of other editors really, horses for courses. People use best what they use most, sometimes they make a conscious decision about it and sometimes they just fall into it. I imagine that a lot of tools are just used without much questioning, and that's fine. The basic feature sets of text editors are pretty much the same. Write, delete, move, copy, paste, save, create.

The main benefit is about choice, I keep a stack of text editors around just out of curiosity, because I like playing with software and editors and sometimes you find features you think are neat, and then go off to try and replicate them in your main editor or tool. Open source software is good at communicating ideas and text editors as a whole have really improved each other over the last three or four decades.

It's minimal in the sense that it's a small template. It's not "minimal" in the sense that you can't do without every single line of the template. Just remove the parts you don't want. It would defeat its purpose if there were multiple templates that each aim at different things and then you have to decide which template you have to choose. Having two minimal templates is not minimal because of the redundancy.

Not hard to be the most privacy focused big company when the competition Google , Facebook or Amazon...

I don't understand why we should always have good guys and bad guys and we can't accept that none of those company respect us.

Nothing will change if we relay Apple's propaganda about privacy. People will think that the solution is already there and it's Apple. And it's not. Apple has catastrophic Privacy, just a bit less catastrophic than Google but that's it.

> So you need to be very efficient with the installed base of software

That's only somewhat true. Until the modern era of cloud hyperscalers, fairly weird architectures with poor compatibility were quite successful, especially in HPC and defense markets. Cell and its derivatives were successful for their time. Any number of quirky microcontroller architectures were successful before the Cortex-M family came to dominate (and some still are). Yes, the startup costs are always going to be high, but success in the broader market isn't necessary for a performant architecture to survive.

> Maybe this will favour experimentations?

I don't think so, if anything the high performance aarch64 designs like Apple's M1 are more similar to x86_64 designs than previous generations. Large caches, wide execution, serious OoO, stronger-than-expected memory ordering. I think more experimentation will come from the RISC-V community targeting more specific applications.

And now we're full circle. You've gone so circular that you've agreed with my point - we need philosophers more than we need STEM professionals.

Perhaps what you're really trying to say, is, "we need more modern philosophers." They will come. Nothing is stopping you from becoming one - but you can't throw out the philosophy side, even if technical solutions to problems require specific expertise.

> he only points to a specific rhetorical device used in politics

Right, but that's the topic I was responding to. If politicians are making a habit of blaming things on the EU and implying the EU is unaccountable, that strikes me as a problem worth taking seriously. Presumably it wouldn't work in the first place if the people had unshakeable confidence in the legitimacy of the EU.

> The E.U. is very much a representative body

Sure, but I wasn't commenting on this. My point was a specific one about perceived legitimacy, without which there can be no EU. Whether the EU is actually democratic, is another matter.

Apple doesn’t need to fix this for users who aren’t using Apple devices. However:

The privacy feature of “Sign In With Apple” uses an email address for each service that you can use to access your accounts from other non-Apple devices, as long as the site implements a Reset Password process that accepts account email addresses (which virtually all do). The private email addresses are under Settings > iCloud > Apps Using Apple ID for apps where you hide your email.

The idea of "The West versus Islam" as a clash of civilization is pretty recent. Probably only appeared after the end of the cold war and gained steam after 9/11.

If you think of the crusades they were more like Roman Catholicism against Islam (and Judaism and Eastern Christianity). For example the crusaders attacked and plundered Constantinople which was Christian at the time - just not catholic.

England have certainly been to war with France more than it has been to war with "Islam".

It's not clear to me why IDFA was ever implemented. No user would want it.
One important implication of not using full encryption is that it protects users from themselves. If a user forgets their password, Apple can still unlock their data. From a security perspective, this obviously isn't ideal. But, from the perspective of the average user who has lost all of their data, this is great.

> it has literally no purpose beyond mining peoples' data

Its main purpose is targeted ads while repurposing or reselling peoples’ data is a nefarious secondary use.

Multi-sided markets are important revenue models that are tailored to user preferences and behavior. We are trying to strike a balance; we don’t need to demonize all advertising centric business models to win the argument for better privacy options.

I think both Apple and Mozilla are more aligned with my personal preferences but their positions are also perfectly aligned with their core business models.

Whataboutism doesn't add much. In both cases the sponsoring countries should not be protecting criminal activity.
Do we have a total effect of ads and fake news on society? Something that's actually reliable and not propaganda itself? It seems extremely difficult to be able to differentiate between an ad letting people know that a product exists and it directly influencing your decision. Or you could consider letting people know about the product existing as influencing the person, but then it's hard to argue that ads are actually bad.

With tobacco it's far easier to show a correlation, because people can just not smoke. People can't just avoid the effects of advertising, because it's all around us. Even word of mouth can be an ad campaign.

Also, tobacco probably is too regulated. It should be regulated to stop other people from experiencing the negative effects of somebody smoking. Limiting what flavors cigarettes can have and enormously taxing them seems like it has gone too far. People should be allowed to make their own choices in a free society.

CockroachDB does not yet support 3D shapes or indexing. We've discussed extending it to 3D, and you are correct that S2 does not support 3D. S2 was a very convenient starting point for us, but we use a small subset of it, for computing the covering. It is viable to replace that part and consider a decomposition of 3D space.

We would probably need more than 64 bits for the cell-IDs, which is fine given that the IDs are being stored in the inverted index. And since we only represent the actual cells that are populated, it would likely not effect the index size. The main performance challenge is that as the trees get deeper, the number of ancestors one has to search increases -- unlike subtrees, which can be searched with a single range lookup regardless of depth, the ancestors are not in a single range. This can slow down queries even if most of the ancestor space is empty. We have some ideas to prune this search.

I don't get the downvotes. Did I insult or offend any Mozilla fans (which I am one BTW, even after some questionable decisions of late)? Am I wrong saying it's ironic to connect to Google -possibly the largest tracking company by far seeing they are present in almost every website out there- in an article praising anti-tracking measures? Is it bad to tell Mozilla to be more consistent with their message and actions?

Wish people who downvote would at least take the time to tell what's wrong with the comment. I don't mind being corrected... quite the contrary!
The beauty, from a nefarious standpoint, is that you don't have to pay people to spread disinformation. You just have to use the right psych techniques on them and ensure they get proper reinforcement.

These are the techniques that have turned my family and many of their friends (and clearly a measurable percentage of Americans) into the exact opposite of the values they taught me and demonstrated for decades.

They truly believe virtually anything spoken by people like Limbaugh, Glenn, Orielly, Carlson, etc.

If you try to use some logic or evidence, even showing two conflicting statements made by one of those idols, they just shut down. The cognitive dissonance is too uncomfortable.
