Doesn't look like the type of regulation we were hoping for. The regulation seems to apply to content moderation and controlling information. Basically the exact opposite of what we need.
Idk, certain things that aren't inherently political could be perceived as such. I actually really like reading about economics, unfortunately in our current political climate - many would likely try to make grand assumptions of my politics / ethics based on how I think about economics.

If I'm ever able to transition to contracting or living off of my endeavors full time I'd write under my true name. Unfortunately, I'm still a white collar wage slave.
Nah. I can see why it sounds small, but I'm having trouble thinking of places where 10% isn't of huge significance.

If you drink one cup of coffee a day, that's less than 10% of your waking time, but coffee is systemic to your life.

If 10% of your cells have a defect, that defect is systemic to your body.

> Under ideal market conditions

Human on Human interactions, which are required for the majority of employment, employ game theory to ensure that your pay is below your value. When talking about labor groups/unions you can approach an ideal scenario. Even those will have variation that are manipulated by human to human interaction.

There are no "ideal market conditions". The real conditions are such that, statistically, you will be underpaid in comparison to your value within a company. Sometimes you get lucky and drop into an upside down position, which is overpaid, but that's the best wage slaves can hope for.
This is very interesting. If you're managing hundreds of accounts pulling data even from Config from the master payer level is tedious and time consuming. If that data can be pulled out and queried with a real query language (config ql just doesn't cut it) it would make mass management so much easier.

>Another interesting tidbit is the answer to the common trope that 'private platform can act as they wish since they are private' :

Now the EU is saying the same thing to Apple. It is their market, and they dictate the rules. Which is perhaps a taste of Apple's own medicine?

I wonder what those people who keep saying it is Apple's platform they can do what ever they want had to say?

I sometimes wonder had Apple not been such an arse with its App Store and monopolistic rules. Would these regulations ever come up.
The reason why I'm surprised is because a lot of what counts for political commentary within Silicon Valley circles has emphasized stances in cultural issues which seem opposed to either the Christian attitude or second amendment rights or other views that get broadly tagged as "conservative" or "unkind".

It's definitely possible to be tasteful and silent when sitting on a Zoom call as people voice strong views in support of XYZ, but it's another thing to wonder if your working relationships are at risk if you voice the opposite, and the majority of media sponsored by SV money sets up the discourse to make that view look foolish which triplicates the amount of work you need to do to defend it.

At the same time it's possible that this is just an issue of a vocal minority of companies controlling the majority of impressions. Since you seem to have had more positive experiences (which I wouldn't expect), I should let you have the floor.

> "Disturbing the peace" seems to be fabricated

Aren't all laws 'fabricated' by legislators? But disturbing the peace is a law like any other, whether you think it's a 'natural' or 'fabricated' law. It's pretty ancient more like natural laws.
Its clearly a product of the riots this year. If you watch any of the live streams on youtube from the protests, its the most retarded thing ever. Literal convicts, just let out of jail, at the forefront of a civil rights movement, screaming how Black Lives matter, and how they are privileged white males. Tell me some of them were not being paid to be there. Because generally convicts are the least empathetic people.

And some of the "Journalist" running around with iphones livestreaming. Its not really an organic thing. Where they just happen to be there, to record something. Often, that some act is done, just for them so they can record it and livestream it.

I even watched one of these livestreamers, help direct a guy away from the police after he shot someone.

I only bring this up because its not so clear cut, where the "journalists" are the good guys. When any guy with an iphone can call himself a journalist. You get all kinds of people.
Oracle is one of the most hated companies on HN, and for years, I assumed that it's a backwards corporate behemoth. Of course, as I work with startups and not huge enterprises, I have actual experience only with Postgresq, MySQL and MongoDB, and not Oracle, but that video about anthropomorphisizing Larry Ellison is so funny.

However, I started going through CMU intro to databases course (btw, it's amazing) and one advanced database feature or optimization after another, I hear "only MSSQL or Oracle do that". Which strated me thinking: is Oracle really that stupid and backwards? Or is it just folklore?
To rephrase... because the models predicting model failure (often) use the same assumptions/knowledge as the original models, so they both fail at the same time once assumptions become invalidated.

"intertemporal heterogeneity in the relationship between variables that are frequently used to predict [...] imply that model instability is a significant source of risk for [folks] that rely heavily on predictive statistical models and machine learning algorithms [...]"

No shit, Sherlock! aka "overfitting"

I don't mean to deride the actual research that was done, but I would hope that people understand this general property better before jumping on the bandwagon to use statistical models -- without needing the benefit of hindsight.
Plenty of companies run their own servers because cloud is too expensive at their scale. Same goes for metrics. It's a direct result of one-price-fits-all pricing models for software as well as pricing that is not correctly tied to value.
with the way things are today there is no way i would get a permanent implant. it would have to be all open source at least. and maybe have some sort of switch on the outside like the librem 5 where you could physically disconnect it from working

If you believe it does, why?
This seems more interesting of the two, grafana is pretty simple to setup and maintain. The harder part is handling the metrics themselves, be it with influxdb, prometheus, or something else.

Several of these cases involved a blogger(or other small syndication) confronting police who were responding to an incident. You don't have to look far to see these encounters on youtube. I'm not justifying the police in these situations, however the "journalists" were doing much more than observing; bordering on obstruction.
I absolutely see where you're coming from but I can't help but think this strategy will only ever gimp one's ability to grow. I always think of the example of Lebron James. If he was always comparing himself to others he wouldn't have gotten nearly as good as he is. Especially since he's risen to the top end of the skill bracket. Comparing yourself to the people in the room only gets you better than the best person in that room. That strikes me as a very slow way to get to be the best ever unless you're in some supremely gargantuan rooms.

I think what everyone ought to do is only ever compare yourself to yourself. "Am I doing this better than the last time I did it? If not how can I do that?" It's a function that's always growing and the rate of growth is how much effort you put in. It's not bounded by the people you're comparing yourself to.
What number would you pick?

I would say that any company that has 45 million customers is doing pretty good. 10% definitely makes many companies the largest in their sector, not every company is a Google or Amazon that’s completely consumed it’s market.

I agree. This is being done currently by the Clojurists Together organization. They fund 4 open source Clojure projects per quarter, and based on the desires of their members (anyone who pays into it), I think they fund 50% established projects and 50% speculative.
Hah, you must never have tried this on an otherwise idle stock Sandy Bridge before Linux added mitigations :)

x86 interrupts are slow but at least reasonably consistent on a non-idle system. If your system is deeply enough into its various idle states, this is not at all true any more. I’ve seen latencies over 10ms on Sandy Bridge with C1E enabled.

I've written some good PostScript over the years. It's a wonderful, clean and very simple language. Stack languages tend to be. I find it very readable because it's so simple.

Of course others like elaborate closures and syntax that seems simple but ends up hiding tons of complexity about the data structures. To Each his own, I say.
The way the Zyxel box is configured in modem mode on A&A results in it not having a globally routable IP address, since your router gets it instead. I expect this is a common way to setup modem mode, and it feels like the "correct default" way to do it.

This makes basic connectivity between the Zyxel box acting as a modem and the TR069 server challenging, though perhaps not impossible (you could, say, allocate a small IPv6 prefix to the modem, but I'm not sure if A&A's TR069 servers work over an IPv6 only connection).

I got a PhD so I started a bit late but I do not regret spending my 20s as a grad student. At least when I started working, a PhD came in useful. I should note that this was a long time ago so my advice may be less relevant today. In general, my advice is to save as much as you can early in your career. Thanks to the power of compounding, $1000 saved in your twenties is worth a lot more than $1000 in your forties.

> “In the absence of desired social experiences,” the authors write, “lonely individuals may be biased towards internally directed cognitions,” as if “to fill the social void.”

At least in my experience, those "internally directed cognitions" create a level of detail in expressed ideas which attract others to converse more with me.

Did I just figure out that I'm the Kwisatz Haderach, or don't most people do this?
No, you wouldn't. From the section you quoted above:

They could've cut it down to e.g. the last n changes to a page if this was a concern.

Honestly the whole migration feels like it has happened before things had been properly thought through. There are pages lying around with {{IncludeSubnav{"")}} directives in the text that don't render properly - and they put this into production.
That document looks stale. Last changelog entry is 2018-11-17.
They definitely need a special case for “no data collected”.

It should say something very direct like “This app does NOT collect any data.”. Instead, the App Store listing includes this extremely awkward set of phrases:

“The developer, $DEVELOPER has indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below:

Data Not Collected

The developer does not collect any data from this app.”
Defining now from In the past?

Don't think that's necessarily circular.
Are you saying all the people in question were simultaneously committing crimes?

Because otherwise your analogy makes no sense. Since, you know, you said you would be committing a crime.

The real question is, is this an honest question - are you really asking what other people think, or, are you deliberately implying all the folks in question were somehow criminal?
Blob Opera, a Google Experiment
IIRC (it's been many years) after many loops that animation started desyncing in the real Flash player too. It wasn't terribly noticeable after only a few loops, but the fact that it happened made me think that the audio loop was completely async from the animation.
I think it's more of a "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck." If you call yourself a journalist and have a record of reporting on things, then by this definition you are one. But you can't decide you are a persecuted journalist because you got arrested.
Police don't need to know of you're committing a crime, only think that you might be. It's up to the courts whether you did

If a cop thinks it's illegal to have your shoes untied, or to be jogging, they can arrest you
Damn this looks really good. Data-first SQL integrated interfaces always get a +1 from me, managing resources without unified abstractions is always painful, especially when you have to do this at scale, standard CLIs always end up falling short in some way

Apple's privacy changes might seem like a good idea from the outside, but essentially or paradoxically leads to higher entry barriers for new competitors and cement the role the actual players have.

Now notice a few things:

1. The first cop who throws a punch at them is clearly abusing his power.

2. A 2nd cop realizes what's going on, pulls the 1st cop off the news crew, and provides a place for the news reporters to run away. (This isn't clear from the Australian news camera. But some people filmed this incident from a 2nd or 3rd angle. The news crew was defended by one of the cops)

The officers who wish to intimidate the media exist. But there are also officers who realize this is a very, very bad idea.

-----------------------

The right-wing media (which a large number of cops do follow) have been describing "the mainstream media" as the enemy of the people for years. Its not surprising that those particular cops who listen to that message are now beginning to throw punches at media crew.

We're now seeing the results of that indoctrination. If the media is the enemy, then it is "fair" to arrest, punch, and otherwise intimidate them.
The converse is true too.

Many felt, many times, totally alone and alienated in a group of friends.
I am nowhere near their numbers, but I run a boostrapped business that would never be possible if it wasn't for Clojure (and specifically ClojureScript). A while ago I decided that I'd be permanently setting aside a percentage of revenue that will go towards sponsoring open-source developers that write and maintain libraries that my project uses. The contributions are very small, but growing steadily.

I think what matters mostly is not the contribution size, but the mindset. If every company using open source contributed at least a little, we would have a healthy ecosystem.
I mean, it's a double-edged sword.

On one side, the death of traditional journalism really has opened up folks' eyes to bias in reporting. Having one or two main-stream news sources really opens up the possibility for bias becoming truth.

On the other side, now that everyone is a reporter, people roll around inside whichever cocoon of bias makes them feel the best.

It's very frustrating, and overwhelming.
ChromeOS has been going through a big process to divorce the browser updates from the operating system updates, so that they can continue to deliver updates to the browser itself even after older hardware stops being supported.

as it is, you can keep using the old hardware after support ends, you'll just have an outdated browser and linux kernel. In the future, that problem should be reduced to just having an outdated kernel.
There's a certain amount of irony there where there's about a dozen different regexes that all match different languages. And none of them are right, for that matter (non-ASCII email addresses are a thing).
How’s that? Seems like it’s just saying “we’re not going to treat you like a journalist if you don’t claim to be one, and you can’t claim to be one without having done any work before.”

Whats your goals? Are you looking to make a technology decision for a product, or are you looking for one to learn to help you get a job?

If you're looking for a job, AWS has the largest market share (33%), followed by Azure (19%), and GCP (9%).

If you're looking for a place to host your product, you probably can't go wrong with either of the three, but there are some minor considerations...

Personally, I would consider GCP a little more risky long term. There was a report last year about Google considering existing the cloud business and setting a goal to be a top two player by 2023. Since this seems unlikely, what then? Google has some anti-trust concerns, but the bigger anti-trust concern is probably Amazon. There is a non-zero chance that AWS gets split out from Amazon at some point.

Finally, I don't really know GCP that well, but it's my understanding it's a little easier to manage for smaller teams. I believe AWS is considered IAAS while GCP is more PAAS (although the lines get blurred depending on product). In my experience, for companies using AWS... having a DevOps team that smooths over the rough edges of AWS and provides tooling on top of AWS warts has been a requirement.

I have no experience with Azure, but I can't see Google out performing Microsoft in any world as long as MSFT has .NET stack.
The problem is not truthiness, or lack thereof.

We live in the attention economy. We have medias monopolizing that attention.

It's the Supermarket of Ideas™, right? Maybe the Freedom Speeches™ and Freedom Markets™ camp followers could advocate for some competition.

I dunno, maybe something crazy, like a doctrine of giving interventions their fair share of oxygen. For example: After Alex Jones spins up the peanut gallery, trained psychiatrists can talk them all off the ledge. Make sure they all get a cookie and some nap time.

> This only affects servers that do indeed serve the "anybody can talk to me" CORS headers.

Again, even if these CORS headers are not sent, the browser still does a request to the server in order to find out whether the headers are being sent. Check running python3 -m http.server in your terminal, and then do var v = fetch("http://localhost:8000/hellllllo") in your browser's console. You will get a big red CORS error in the console, because the builtin python http server does not send these headers. But the web server will still receive and respond to the "hellllllo" GET request! It will show up in your terminal's log. For some insecure servers, getting a specifically crafted request might be enough to exploit security bugs. Like I said, take a server that has a limited size buffer for the URL after which it overflows letting you write data to whatever is beyond that on the stack.

> This change doesn't actually increase this risk

Alright you have a point here, but it's still bad this feature exists in the first place.

> This is a pretty common pattern for lots of popular software that has a desktop component

Because it's used doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

> There's ongoing work to restrict this further

Huh that's very nice. Indeed this would resolve my concerns:

In the future, whenever a public website is trying to fetch resources from a private or a local network, Chrome will send a preflight request before the actual request.

Preflight requests are hardcoded and barely have any attacker controlled data (except for the ip address maybe, as 127.0.0.2 is as valid as 127.0.0.1).
Boo. The EU has had as much time as anyone to build a native digital economy. The web was born in Europe (TBL was working at a Euro science facility when he created it). Yet despite having an educated populace, wealth, infrastructure, and a bureaucracy that will favor homegrown tech, they are definitely behind North America and Asia and arguably behind India and even Africa.

No one is asking the tough question - why can't the EU build?

Half way in coming to the conclusion that "building a proper text editor is just to complicated and tedious" is a complete joke. It was clear form day one that solving the over half decade old text editor issue would be a very big thing! And I'm better not saying what I'm thinking if this wasn't clear.

I feel fooled. No matter how smart this person is now I'm extremely skeptical to anything coming form that direction. I have just no faith in people that give up because things start to look complicated. Especially as it was obvious upfront that things will get very very hairy. There's a reason the text editor issue isn't solved until this day and we have to deal with a bunch of 80% solutions.
