> So users are expected to run debugger tools in order to figure out what some hidden program is doing?

That's like saying "So we're expected to investigate and have a full trial before sending someone to jail?". If you just want to delete it, go ahead. If you want to go as far as creating a whole domain to blame Chrome, yes, you do need more than just "I deleted it and coincidentally my computer got fast".
Can you elaborate on that? As far as I know, E ink corporation and related patents are owned by a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer [0].

seconded, but i think youre misunderstanding the paradox's axioms. part of the assumptions are infinite homogenous distribution, which i think addresses your point (the "the paradox" section).

i think the salient point is why youd assume stars are both infinite (both in existence and lifespan?) but homogenous on an arbitrary scale.

edit: additionally, as long as orbital motion is included in this contrived model, blockage would certainly produce a less than perfectly bright sky.
Saying this repeatedly does nothing to make it actually true.
I agree that a programmer should know how to do things with shell, but when I read:

I immediately remember how great are Jetbrains IDEs. I just can't imagine how someone could refactor code with such accuracy and without hurdle just using Linux vi or any cli tool...

Google’s Keystone acts basically like malware; it sits in the background and has the ability to basically have its way with your computer. That being said it is hidden but I have never seen it try to hide itself; as a non-Chrome user who has it installed on my machine I see it run from time to time. Other than that it just waits in the background largely silently. Clearly, Google engineers should never have shipped the violation of consent that is Keystone, but the claims here are almost certainly bogus.
Completely agree. I am critical of Red Hat for not announcing this all at the same time, but I likewise very much agree with you. We still have a full year and they've said to expect an announcement within a month or two (at least that's what I read elsewhere, nothing I've heard internally).
If you are a regular end user You can safely ignore it and just use systemd or not and not worry too much either way.

It could be a USB-C adapter issue if you are using HDMI. Just try different adapters until you find one that works well with your monitors.

I don't understand why Apple doesn't make a high-end multi port USB-C dock after all these years. Third-party quality isn't consistent.
They are definitely separable, based on intent.

The marketplace of ideas works only insofar as everyone involved operates with good faith. Weaponized misinformation is the opposite of that: expressing what appears to be an opinion, but is actually a manipulation tactic. Look in particular for arguments that appeal to emotion (especially anger), nationalism, and in-group/out-group. The fascists understood, and still understand, these strategies.

If you can't tell the difference between a genuine opinion and a misinformation tactic, you are ill prepared to participate in today's media environment.

> after some critical distance the intensity will actually drop to zero.

No, it won't. If you're going to use a quantum model of light (which you have to to use the concept of "photon"), then you have to use the quantum interpretation of "intensity". The quantum interpretation of "intensity" is the probability of detecting a photon; and this is a continuous quantity which can get smaller and smaller indefinitely without ever dropping to zero.
Also great article! Got the chance to read it and I actually ended up linking it in my post

It doesn't have to be "easily accessible" to be valuable.

Corporate espionage exists, insider trading exists (and is more common than you might think), there's any number of parties who might pay for insider info (once properly laundered) about Facebook activities.

Why would "the government of Iran" care about what Facebook is up to? Isn't FB banned in Iran?
> Turns out though that the intensity actually falls off faster than 1/r^2 toward the end due to quantization effects.

No, it doesn't. See my other post in response to you upthread.
Had the opposite experience. Worked in an investment bank since Brexit was announced years ago and this has changed nothing at all whatsoever.

Nonetheless, I can recall 3 news articles saying the bank would close shop in London and the last one specifically called out my department to be closed. None of it was true, in fact we were still hiring. Lesson learned that newspapers would say anything for eyeballs.

It’s stupid to think otherwise . If it came to a matter of national hunger due to crop water shortages or drinking water shortages the federal government would use the military to dig a fucking canal across the country if they needed to.
Actually I did a Ph.d. related to chemical separations of nuclear materials. Granted my direct research was narrow on some aspects of solvent extraction related to actinide separation, but I did get a general impression of other areas from hearing stories and presentations at conferences and such. My impression is that you're vastly underestimating the complexities and challenges of those steps. Yes, this is just an appeal authority type argument, but your point is a lot of generalized high level statements without supporting evidence. What you're saying could be true, but from my impression it's more likely to be magical thinking. I'd love it to be true, but just because we want something to be true or it sounds nice doesn't make it more likely. In fact, we should double our due diligence for claims that tell us what we want to hear.
Technical Co-Founder for Clean Tech Startup
Cormo.Energy|Remote, San Francisco, CA, Berlin, Germany | FLEXIBLE_IDEA | Solar Energy, Renewables energy, clean tech, climate tech, fintech, ocean economy, supply chain |looking for technical co-founder

I am searching for a Co-founder to build a business with sustainable impact, yet a profitable and scalable business case.

About me:

I have bootstrapped a consulting business specializing in Industrial IoT / Smart Factory and Product Management, my background is in finance. I have been going back and forth between the US / San Francisco and Berlin, Germany for the past 3 years.

Status Quo:
Since a few months, I have decided to venture into the next business and took a look at different topics in fields that have a clear climate / sustainability impact - areas of interests:

- Supply Chain, Transport, Shipping
- Ocean Economy
- FinTech
- Renewable Energies / Solar
- New Work / Remote Work / Digital Nomading
- Outdoor, Extreme & Boardsports
- Mobility
- B2B-Platforms & marketplaces

Ideally, your background has a stronger focus on tech / engineering. However, most importantly you are an entrepreneur with the drive to iterate and test until we hit a nerve and then bring the endurance, flexibility, people & management skills, and the growth mindset to scale.

To give you a hint of what has inspired my business philosophy over recent years -
- Let my people go surfing, Yvonne Chouinard
- How to win friends and influence people, Dale Carnegie
- Delivering Happiness, Tony Hsieh (R.I.P.)

Next steps:
I have been working on a solar energy case that is relatively close to pitching angel investors and that would be ready to get some public grants in Germany. However, I am open to taking an entirely new direction or to jump on your early stage business/idea.

The most important thing is to work with great people. Therefore, this is more about you than about the business we pick.

I will say that it seemed like this was a pretty big story to be not be covered in the tech press. I do wonder if there really is much evidence.

On the other hand, I generally feel that Chrome is garbage that slows computers down, so I wouldn't be surprised. But I don't see enough evidence here.

> brightness is not continuous, at a certain point you only have one photon left

If you are going to use a "photon" interpretation, you are using quantum mechanics, and in QM "brightness" involves the probability of detecting a photon and does not require there to be an exact integral "number" of photons. So brightness is still continuous in QM; the probability of detecting a photon can keep getting smaller and smaller indefinitely, without ever having to discontinously jump to zero.
people. as a computer scientist you're probably thinking, "this can be solved by analysing a source code forge" or, "this can be solved by running an algorithm". it can't (or, more to the point: it can tell you quantities, but not quality or value).

i mentioned in another post: github "glorifies" the person and the changes that they make. "look at mee! look at mee! i'm making a commit! i'm wiping my backside now! aren't i great!" which gets you precisely zip in terms of actual strategic value.

changes measure change.

people will tell you - if you let them - by providing you with the information needed to make a qualitative assessment.

so.

provide a type of wiki/website that allows qualitative assessments to be made, on a per-library / per-project basis. then put the metrics (the "criticality value") onto that.

pre-seed that wiki/website with stuff from github if you feel so inclined but DO NOT limit the wiki/website to exclusively github. i repeat again: doing so would be a disastrous mistake.
Ask HN: Can anyone open their messages on fb mbasic?
I have been using https://mbasic.facebook.com/messages/ as an alternative to the cluttered messenger interface. To the best of my knowledge, it was the only way to read messages without javascript. However, it seems totally broken since a few days ago. I suspect the issue is global as I asked a few friends to confirm they have the same.

Is facebook renouncing to their users who do not have a js capable browser (and a sufficient CPU)?
I mean Chrome is bad on Macs in terms of resource usage and speed.

But this post alleges it is really bad when not running, which seems like huge news if true.

I don't see enough evidence here, but I'd be open to the idea that this is true if someone looked into it deeper.

I think you misunderstood what earnest is. And more importantly the core of PG's argument.

A genuine fixation or being earnest != interest. Earnest is way more than that. Showing interest is merely a step towards being earnest.

It's easy to be interested in everything but it's hard to be earnest about something.
I might say that there are an infinite number of copies of the image always there, all washing each other out. Each is a slightly different image (each has a slightly different centre of projection, in the jargon). If your pinhole is infinitely small, you get an infinitely-weak shot of a single one of those images. As you enlarge the pinhole, you get a larger collection of images, all added together, so you get more total light, but a bit of blurriness (because the images you're adding are all just a touch different).

You said: People don't go "I really want a walled garden".

So you admit after all this my exact point in the first place. Almost nobody is deciding based on this because there are thousands of other things that are either more important, easier to understand, more talked about in marketing and reviews, or simply because they've never even heard that some are walled gardens and some aren't. Clearly someone who has never had a smartphone before wouldn't choose based on specifics of the App Store when they're probably trying to figure out how to make a phone call.

I think the thing is that the title is ‘chrome is bad’, and that’s something most of the crowd here can sort of agree with for a variety of reasons.
The Chinese, in practice, do not give the constitution almost any weight.

For example: The constitution promises freedom of religion. It doesn't take much search to find out how patently false this is...

Wikipedia: "Though technically the "supreme legal authority" and "fundamental law of the state", the ruling Communist Party of China has a documented history of violating many of the constitution's provisions and censoring calls for greater adherence to it. Furthermore, claims of violations of constitutional rights cannot be used in Chinese courts, and the National People's Congress Constitution and Law Committee, the legislative committee responsible for constitutional review, has never ruled a law or regulation unconstitutional."

> Can you imagine a more important change than one in the relationship between intellectual curiosity and money?

Semantics and edge conditions aside, no. I can't imagine a more important change; this is truly a concise and meaningful question. The world will be a little bit better if you ask your 3 closest peers this question.

Including semantics, I believe our language must provide a thought framework to guide intellectual curiosity towards sustainability; ie, named classes of intellectual curiosity that create more opportunity for intellectual curiosity. Further, our language must meaningfully relate the concepts of intellectual curiosity, economic productivity and capital. For example, discussing the relationship between global economic productivity and the potential of a viral pandemic could frame problems in a way that promote intellectual inquiry, incentivized by capital, to preserve future economic productivity.

Including edge conditions, I believe we at least need to constrain intellectual curiosity that would harm. Part of this goes back to semantics; ie, what is harm? But another component exists around cultural norms of transparency, regulation and authority.

> As long as those almonds can be exported to profitable global markets,

They can’t though and that’s the point. They essentially don’t pay for the water from the Colorado river and if they paid the rate consumers are charged the cost of Almonds would 10x. Almond demand would likely fall 95% or so at that point and a lot less water would be wasted.

Americans are subsidizing almonds with free (or next to free) water while we bicker over the scraps of water leftover (restaurants not automatically pouring table water in CA).
Thanks. Luckily not my personal problem (or if it is nobody has told me yet...), but knowing how much hassle goes into any major upgrade (even if it's smooth sailing technically) in places with overly conservative processes, I hope those paths and changes get clearly communicated.
Describing that work as "being naked in front of a webcam" is like calling software development "typing at a computer". You can make any job sounds trivial and downplay its value by describing it in a way that removes the skill and effort involved.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to imply some else's work isn't valuable to make the point that this work should be more valuable.

I believe a good way to think about the market for vulnerabilities is this:

There are markets for vulnerabilities that slot seamlessly into existing business processes. In other words, you can tend to find a buyer for a vulnerability that would replace another vulnerability already being used, that accomplishes pretty much exactly the same thing as that vulnerability. The more people run that business process, the more likely it is that there's a liquid market.

Lots of organizations have business processes that rely on browser RCEs. Generally, there aren't many organizations that have business process that rely on serverside vulnerabilities in line-of-business applications that have instantaneous half-lives, because once the patch is developed they're gone.

I'm not an OS engineer and have no desire to get granular with my OS, I just want to be able to load it up and do stuff.

>but seeing how much someone makes by being naked in front of a web cam vs a software engineer salary is kinda sad.

I'm sure if you could think of a way to make software engineers as appealing as naked women, you'd probably find yourself a pretty great job paying well over the people on onlyfans.
Well, we mostly agree! I agree with everything until:

> their belief that 12 months is "enough time" shows a clear ignorance of how the product is used in enterprise or they fully understand and are banking on the desperation of enterprise to sell RHEL licenses.

There's another explanation, and I think it makes a little more sense than yours which would require Red Hat, literally the company whose core job it is (which they are damn good at, enough so that you use it) to provide an enterprise distribution to some of the most conservative companies on the planet, to not understand how the product is used in enterprise.

The suggestion that RH is "banking on the desperation of enterprise to sell RHEL licenses" at least makes sense given the facts, and that's kind of what I thought too when I first saw the news (the way they worded it sure made it seem like this was a money grab).

It is possible however (and indeed this is my belief) that Red Hat doesn't consider Stream to be that big of a change, and they've given a full year to migrate. Indeed if you read my blog post[1] I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I have zero inside info on this but I would bet highly that sales of RHEL were a factor in this decision for sure. I don't see how they couldn't be. But given how long Red Hat has been providing all their sources publicly (which they DON'T have to do) and acquiring and open sourcing companies, you don't give them even a tiny benefit of the doubt here that maybe their not just one-sided evil capitalists trying to squeeze nickels out of the CentOS community for short term gains?

I'm okay with it as long as it's customizable. What I dislike is when apps or sites don't give you the choice.
