I hear your concerns, I recognize your needs. I just don't see that rebasing the camera's software atop something more flexible & open-to-building-atop like for example Android would in any way pose a threat to the camera as you know & love it.

The fact is there's no reason you'd even have to know a camera is running Android. You can put whatever user-interface shell you want on to an OS, and it could run the same form factor, present the same (hopefully better) menus and interfaces & buttons, flip through menus just as fast, have the same optics, allow the same batteries. Get Micron or someone to use persistent memory so the boot time is even less than what you have now, which is not, as you say, instant, at least not on any camera I've ever seen.

New cameras like the Sony A7S iii have really good buttons-or-touchscreen interfaces. I think a lot of people have thought buttons are the way to go, have a die-hard perspective on what a proper camera is, but they, now that the future is here, are finding the flexibility offered amazing, finding that they would never want to go back.

> The idea of ruining a perfectly good system by pushing Android onto it ‘because apps’ or whatever it is such HN/disruptive nonsense.

The software defined world is one of open possibilities. "Because apps" is such a droll unimaginative slander of that notion. It's great that you feel so well served by your fixed-function cast-in-stone device, but it A) doesn't have to be that way forever, for every-one, and B) if cameras do get more flexible & capable of user-defined behaviors, it doesn't mean you have to lose this thing you evidently love.

Allowing people the flexibility to explore additional ways of doing photography seems to me like it should be obvious & is a frontier I look forward to opening.

I come from a different place. My friends are all pro-sumer, not professionals, but we're all insulted beyond belief how inflexible, how bad the computational photography is on our fancy mirrorless cameras, especially as compared to modern Pixel cameras. More-so, failure to start allowing more creative uses of cameras is an existential risk to cameras. Yes, some photogs will keep readily buying forever, but a lot of consumers find way more value from their phones, and cameras ought to want to be able to compete, to be devices for creativity. Right now, they are, but primarily inside the same lines they have been for decades on end now.

> This is exactly what most photographers want.

Not that big a market, compared to the rest of the world, who also enjoy taking photos, it turns out. But I think the photogs would be better served too, in the long run; much better served.

And I don't think they'd lose anything either.
Fair enough, I got the impression that the user who called me snarky was gaming the rules to get my comment deleted, so I was a bit annoyed. After the first page, their comment history is mostly sarcastic and demeaning remarks, so it was clear to me that they simply didn't like what I said for personal reasons. I realize it doesn't make a difference and perhaps you reached your conclusion independently of their remark, but I was understandably a little miffed and felt like I got played.

Regardless, I'll remain conscious of what you said.
A good camera goes a long way in the hands of a skilled photographer. I could use the best camera and still my photos would look like it came from a potato.

As a non-us citizen I don't regard the US as a free country anymore.

Mind you, Bill Clinton was impeached due to the Lewinsky scandal not much for the scandal itself but because he lied about having an affair with Monica Lewinsky, and it was considered inacceptable for the president of the US to be lying.

Now you've got Orange Donald lying all the time and nobody's complaining that much, and journalists are getting arrested almost literally more than ever and nobody's batting an eye.

> This line does its best to define the script’s location directory, ~~and then we cd to it. Why?~~ (struck through in original)

I've done this to make little bash utilities, and while it's cool when it works, it really doesn't work.

Never try to guess the script's location. You're adding very weird, broken, magical behavior with no way to test it. So keep it simple and write these scripts to expect help from the user.

If you need resources for a bash script, expect them to be in the working directory, or a standard directory, or have the user pass paths in through environment variables or other means.

Yes, it's gross and inelegant. It also won't break mysteriously.

"Population Shrinks in California, Still Most Populous State" — NBC Los Angeles, May 2, 2020 [0]

> California had a population of 39.78 million as of January [2020], the state Department of Finance said, down from its previous report of 39.96 million residents in July [2019].

That's the most recent 6 month period we have reported numbers for, and occurred in the 2nd half of 2019. For the full year in 2019, population was still slightly up overall.

A weird thing happened as I hit my late 30s. The best way I can describe it is 'acceptance'. I accept who I am, at my core, is defined by my genes, my experiences, and my experiences' affect on my genes. I used to think that if I just tried hard enough, I could be different. I could be cooler, more attractive, etc. Now? I simply accept that I am simply not compatible with some people, and that's ok.

I know that sounds like some sort of cringe hallmark card. I know I completely dismissed that sort of sentiment when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I've found it rings more true.
I don't understand what you're arguing here. You don't run sed, awk, and jq directly, you run them via Bash, your preferred scripting language that can execute arbitrary, sophisticated code.

Personally I don't use Python much for these use cases. For anything beyond trivial scripts I write Go programs, compiled into statically-linked executables that I can scp onto a host and run, the only dependency required at that point being libc. Or ideally the remote host is running inside a container, which would allow me to reproduce the dependencies locally (but also has a bunch of other complexity).

But saying "just use Bash" and then patting ourselves on the back is not really solving the problem, it's just kicking the can down the road, possibly not even very far.

> I admittedly haven't read the article yet (...), but does it take into account that we've had a lot more unrest than usual this year?

If you have more unrest than usual (and it shouldn't be usual at all to have unrest) it's even more important to have more journalists circulating freely and writing/publishing freely: that's how you get to see and understand what's actually going on.

If you don't have journalists doing their job freely, you only have the state propaganda to listen to.
Tough titties.

When the "real" journalists won't stand up for "non-real" journalists like Assange, they have to expect the same treatment will be meted out to them also.
"But what are we afraid of China actually doing?"

Invading and annexing neighboring territories like Tibet, Sprately Islands. Committing genocide on ethnic minorities like the Uighars. Surpressing the political will of their own people by doing things like mass murder in Tiananmen Square. And these aren't even the fears but rather just the typical acts of the CCP. Keep in mind that China is a nuclear power that intimidates and wishes to invade its neighbors.

Free exchange among peoples is alive and well. It is easier today to make a website and share anything than it has ever been in the history of civilization.

I think challenge it doesn't solve a user oriented problem.

Most users care about the enjoyment/utility/stimulation they get out of a social network. Some users care about their privacy. Needing an extra $30-60/year does not rank high on user priorities.

While facebook might make $200/US individual, their profit margin is only 30%.
> It's a far simpler language than Python really.

This is true, but if you already know Python, then "awk + Python" has greater total complexity than "just Python". So the question is does awk add enough value to be worth the incremental cost of learning it in addition to Python? I think for many, the answer is "no".
What's toothless is trying to enforce EU rules on tech companies based in Ireland.

EU rules look great, until one of the nations decide to sh*t on it, see Hungary (I'm a Hungarian citizen, but not really proud of it any more) vs EU recently on budgeting, or Ireland being unwilling to actually enforce any EU regulations.

The sitting president and his allies are actively trying to bypass millions of votes by asking state legislatures to appoint electors against the state's voters' will. That's a fact. Well, they did until that didn't work. Then they tried to throw out the electoral votes of four swing states. Trying to bypass an election like this is indeed a coup-attempt! I've got sources and everything! I've put a few sources below but I'm sure you can find more. These attempts to throw out millions of votes is not normal.

DeSantis urged Pennsylvania and Michigan residents to call state lawmakers and urge them to intervene. “Under Article 2 of the Constitution, presidential electors are done by the legislatures and the schemes they create and the framework. And if there’s departure from that, if they’re not following the law, if they’re ignoring law, then they can provide remedies as well,” he said.

I think you’re right from a technical point of view. Sure, it might be slower than a dedicated GPU, and sure the Intel CPUs in the MacBooks are not the fastest in the world in the first place.

However, the comparison still has value from a practical point of view: the new thing is more than 3 times as fast as the old thing. This matters to the people who use the things more than to people who just want to compare abstract chip performance.

Firefox should sign a deal with EU and get funding from them. Their selling point could be "Unlike other browsers, Firefox won't send data to the US and will enforce GDPR even on sites that arent compliant". Otherwise Firefox will be an expense account of some google exec and be treated as such.
I'm THAT customer. I purchased the iPhone 12 mini with high hopes but for the price, I didn't feel like I was getting enough. I only had 2 out of 3 rear cameras (of the pro) and I would have preferred telephoto instead of wide. The battery life wasn't quite there either. The only improvement was 5G but coverage is still spotty anyway. I exchanged my purchase for the SE and I'm pretty happy. I still get the smaller easy to reach screen size and the fingerprint sensor is a welcome from the past. I think TouchID > FaceID. I was an iPhone X owner for a number of years until the screen randomly died.

I wouldn't really call it balkanization. Most services still operate across borders. Thanks to the internet I have contact to peers from all over the world. Some aspects of the internet will become more localized in the future, but generally inter border communication is still growing I think.

And in fact on an EU level, rules are unified instead of balkanized. The digital single market project brought things like the GDPR or the abolishment of EU roaming charges, allowing you to travel around the EU without having to pay extra to your phone provider.

Apropos to OP, this article also quotes JWZ.
Personally, I think the GDPR cookie notifications have severely degraded the user experience of the web. I also think it's become just another "Terms and Conditions" - something that people reflexively accept because they want to get on with using a product.

Future regulations with teeth, but don't exist yet, are things like:

- Data portability: I should be able to export my entire Facebook account in full in a standardized format and easily transfer it to any other social network of my choosing.

- Algorithmic control: I should be able to choose which recommendation algorithms are being used on me, or opt out of algorithms entirely.

- Algorithmic transparency: As a consumer, I should be able to see something similar to what Facebook's growth team sees. What specific changes caused people in my cohort to increase their watch time by 2%? Was it better button placement, which I'd be okay with, or was it an increase in conspiracy content, which might not be?

All of these things might be huge overhauls and difficult for the social media companies to deliver, but if you are pushing content in front of billions of people's faces for hours a day you should have an equivalent immense level of responsibility.
Works for who? Sure, there are success stories of online dating, but I wager a large amount that most people's experiences with them are negative.
It's a blog post, not a PR piece. The only issue I take with it is in the first screenshot, where it says to 'click the CloudShell icon' and then presents you a screenshot that doesn't actually highlight what and where the icon is. You just have to already know that '>_' is some sort of hacker parlance for a shell.

It's just a picture of the corner of the page.
Signal has a desktop app; you might need to put the sim into an android/iOS device for initial setup.
That might make BoringSSL a poor fit for use outside of golang.

I was distinguishing between "rating films" with "restricting access", but yeah, the content of the films doesn't matter--it's censorship whether the content is LGBT+ or Al Qaeda beheadings. The pertinent question is whether a third party is obligated to show you that content. As it relates to social media companies, my position is that if a company is exercising the right to censor (effectively to curate content) then they must also take responsibility when they curate illegal content, such as child pornography or intellectual property--they don't get to have it both ways.

Similarly, I don't think your local theater's prohibition on minors viewing 'adult' content compares favorably to a large social media company which steers and manipulates so much communication that it can unilaterally sway national elections. The latter is an issue of national sovereignty.
I can’t comment on why Europe isn’t the world leader in tech... but are we really missing out on much? The head counts (=jobs) of these companies are low compared to other sectors.

> The worst aspect of C would be pointers and unsafe memory access, which Perl doesn't have.

In a practical sense, it doesn't. But it's there if you specifically go digging for it:

Hello, world.

Ask HN: Privacy Communal Fund RFC
The problem:

There are many FOSS projects on which many of us rely on for our day to day privacy. Financially contributing to these projects is very important but can be very challenging to 1) individually put in the time to make a contribution 2) do so annonymously - eg sending cash and 3) make a meaningful contribution for every project, meaning I can't send 1$ to 30 different orgs.

The solution:

Operate a communal funding pot to which anyone can send an arbitrary amount of money (cash - digital - crypto). The fund will support a public list of organizations that meet some criteria chosen by the community. At the end of the month or the year, the communal pot is equally split and contributed to all the projects.

Example:

Let's say the fund supports Tor and EFF.

Alice donates 10$ to the pot

Bob donates 30$ to the pot

Denis donates 1$ to the pot

Emily donates 4$ to the pot

By the end of month the pot has 45$

The fund sends 22.5$ to Tor

The fund sends 22.5$ to EFF

The vision:

- Operate a recognized fund that serves as a mean of aggregating large volumes of small contributions.

- Serve as an income stream for the selected orgs/projects to either help them survive (for small projects) or relieve pressure from corporate or state funds (for larger projects).

Stalker / Solaris director Andrei Tarkovsky's advice to young people and being alone (video):

https://www.openculture.com/2015/03/andrei-tarkovskys-messag...

I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.
