That's actually a good point.

Tho, I think class is more than just income. E.g. you don't become upper class as a prostitute or drug dealer, just because you manged to get by well.

Either way, within a class a white man will still have better chances for influence and freedom than a black trans woman. So gender and "race" are not obsolete classifications.

However, I think any sense of identity is the cognitive fallout of experiencing lack of self-efficacy, chronically. Seeing the increase in white men building an identity around being "white" and male, too, indicates a wide decrease in class mobility.

Pitching those identities against each other is indeed class warfare.

Pretty easy to reconcile non-pedantically.

For a large portion of their user base, "a world where you can belong anywhere" doesn't describe a post-successful-coup United States.

For "Where people can live in a place," the "live" implies "peacefully thrive," and not "storm the seat of government."

In fact, I think most corporate mission statements have an implied "no fascist dystopia" subtext.
> You can collect Arbeitslosengeld II ("Hartz IV") in cash at the local job center, no bank account required.

First off, that's not the default. So statistically this isn't true.

Second: The Finanzamt and the GwG would have a different opinion about that, see [1] and [2] (pp. 10 and pp. 11) regarding that.

I personally know somebody who did collect it in cash in the past, got sued by the Finanzamt, and lost in front of the court (ironically with a Bargeldstrafe).

Also note that even the SGB 2 and 3 make this very clear, without room for interpretation, that you need a bank account [3] (pp. 43). The only theoretical exception would be if the costs for a bank account would require more than 100 bucks that you are legible to get in advance per month [4] (pp. 43a) but that's pretty much impossible to prove without having a bank account in the first place.

What's 'Tesla level' AI? Is it just their dangerously misnamed 'self driving' tech that's really just adaptive cruise control that every manufacturer has?

Two comments:

First, what's OMSCS? Could you supply a bit more detail rather than just "have you heard of it"? What is it? What's good about it?

Second, 5% acceptance rates are not typical of "the current university system". That's only a few "elite" schools. 40k/year may be more typical, but you can easily find less than half that.

Sorry to hear it. I was thinking this would be another BLM/anti-rabble-rabble post about saving our democracy and all that jazz. Now I wish it was that.

I fundamentally agree with Steve Jobs's take about this company, though I'd prefer to feel otherwise. I respect that they have been trying to find their way out of that pit; I really enjoy Dropbox Paper and use it at work most days. I just don't think it will be enough for them, but I hope to be wrong about that.

For any given technology or service, given the choice between the cheapest consumer option and a reliable enterprise option that costs 50% more, most small businesses will choose the consumer option every time.
There's one big structural problem with the idea of a consumer union: what happens when negotiations break down. Typically for a worker union, that means the union tells workers to go on strike. Imagine being told by your union that no one should use google.com/gmail/maps/docs/etc until further notice. It wouldn't fly no matter how you slice it.
On the flip side, why would it be legal? It's looks like a pretty cut case of copyright infringement. It's their software, you're not authorized to use it, but you're using it anyways.
Uh, those numbers are more than three/five years old at this point. Beyond comments on the test bench not being properly set up, Ryzen has improved significantly since then.

AMD's latest consumer-level chips significantly outperform Intel's chips in both price and performance. When talking about prosumer video editing performance, the Ryzen 9 5900x, the second most expensive "new" chip from AMD is a 3.4% performance improvement over Intel's most expensive "new" chip 10980XE. Additionally, the 5900x retails for $549 USD while the 10980XE retails for about $1,000 USD.

> Policy enforcement based on feelings is inherently arbitrary and contrary to the rule of law

This is entirely not true in the real world. When a prosecutor brings a charge against someone, all sorts of factors are taken into account, based on prior law. The charge of "menacing" is a great example. How about "making threatening statements"? Or any number of other obvious examples that rely on subjective interpretation within a context.
If by "dumped their whole DB" you mean "a snapshot of their public pages", then yes. Otherwise, no. This was an ArchiveTeam-affiliated scraping operation that relied on slurping down as much public-facing data as quickly as possible, just like their other efforts.

I'm confused here. Someone shared with me a file via dropbox, xlsx, and right at the top of the sidebar where I can leave comments, there's a download button.
I agree. This week I set up my Nextcloud on a remote server and will probably get a home appliance eventually. I don't detect any sarcasm. Am I naive?
Why are you so phocused on this topic?
I'm curious what's wrong with L2TP over IPSec. I use it primarily for remote management of networks and haven't had any problems with it. It's simple to set up, and pretty much every device has a client for it already built-in (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android). Is there a use case it's particularly poorly suited for?
What I can see is some geofencing of sensitive areas like we do for airports.

However, the down side is that unlike the FAA this might be abused.
A lot of the reason margins are so thin is because the suppliers now make more money than the actual carmakers. If there's one thing Apple's good at it, it's squeezing suppliers on costs. Going EV also helps here, as there's fewer parts required.
Look, I need that leftpad import, ok?

For one thing, the requirements for effective teaching is going to be vastly different between a captive audience of 5-10 years olds that effectively need to be disciplined and educated and grown ass adults who seek out the content on their own.

I think remote learning could be done far better for older teens and adults. The remote experience is always going to be subpar for young children.
No, unions and governments are very different things. The fact that we left things to the government without grassroots power is in part what allowed regulatory capture to persist.
I'm heavily invested in Linux for years already, a i3+terminal+firefox+emacs guy.

I forced myself to work on Windows 10 Enterprise for a week and left kind of feeling OK about it. It's a bit slower than Linux, a bit too many moving things by default and I definitely prefer the env vars and config files over registry and control panel. But. I didn't use WSL or WSL2. I just had nushell and Microsoft's terminal app, with winget and all that. Some keyboard shortcuts and multiple desktops enabled, writing Rust software with emacs, firefox and a good terminal was not bad at all. I would not dislike working more in there, but in the end find Arch Linux to be the end game OS for me, so keeping the installation just when I need to debug some Windows issues.
I don't think there's hatred for the ecosystem, it's just one that you don't get to see unless you're exposed to it by chance or pushed into it for a specific reason.

.NET is in the corporate world but you'll have a harder time finding a .NET-related job if you don't already know stuff about it.

Since I don't currently use windows and I don't casually want to build a corporate type of software on another system in my free time (I'd much rather fold some origami, I'm likely one of the people that aren't called "passionate" about dev), I didn't get to be exposed to it easily - unlike "typical" web and mobile-related languages for example (Java, Obj-C/Swift, JS). Some of it might have been shown when I was a student (Java), and other things are just requirements of the times (I want to try making a mobile app -> either web or native languages). Didn't see .NET at university, and early jobs didn't involve that, so now it feels like a missed train somehow.

Is it worth focusing on when you're not already living in that ecosystem and you're on your own?
Just a little more info and a meta-HN fact:

I don't ordinarily use bit torrent, but I was downloading a couple OS images and the provider requested I use bit torrent so I went and got Transmission during the period while the malware was up, but before Transmission discovered it. I got lucky and saw a news article, perhaps on HN, about the infection the next day or two, verified I had it, removed it, and ran a set of offline backups. Had I not caught it, after a several day waiting period the malware would have encrypted my drives for ransomware. So I got ridiculously unlucky to get the infection, and then ridiculously lucky to see an article suggesting I might have it before it went off.

About HN, the parent comment is getting a disappointing amount of up and down voting relative to its total score.
It reads very much like something written by people in that post-college, know everything time of their lives.
> I'm not sure general development will continue to be viable on the M1s.

I'm not trying to carry water for Apple here but what types of development are you talking about that won't be able to continue on the M1? Sure a lot of stuff wasn't there at launch but it looks like even docker (which was speculated to take a long time to get working) is getting close to a solution for arm and x86 containers to run on the M1. Brew is another one that wasn't ready at launch but my guess is that within a year or so the M1 (or it's successors) will be nearly identical to my current dev setup (which is one reason I'm waiting for the dust to settle).
As many others have said, I try to only downvote those not adding value to the discussion, or not following the guidelines. I have also (as I'm sure many people have) been the victim of downvotes simply from people disagreeing, which I think is not what downvotes are for.

Which got me thinking. How about a system where we penalize downvotes that are on comments which also have several upvotes? If a comment is genuinely not adding value, or against the guidelines, one imagines it would not garner many upvotes. So if a comment gets upvotes as well, this probably indicates that the downvotes are for simple disagreement, and those downvoting should lose karma.

I'm not sure what the ratio should be, or how much the penalty should be. In my mind equal numbers of up and down indicates that the downvotes are misplaced. So perhaps something like if upvotes = downvotes/3, or maybe some hard limit like 4 upvotes would trigger downvote penalization. Perhaps this would make people think twice before downvoting for disagreement.

As an aside, on StackOverflow downvoting costs you 1 point. I don't think that's a good system because sometimes a downvote is warranted, but something like the above seems more fair.
That's not actually an answer to the question, just a lazy way of dismissing it that adds nothing.

Cars are in the process of transitioning to consumer electronics software devices.

That’s a good fit for Apple and the others in this space (except for tesla) have no ability to execute on software (or even EVs really). The old car companies are dumb and slow and their industrial design mostly sucks. [0]

I think it makes sense, particularly if you model the future as autonomous vehicles and AR as the next platform.

People will be in their cars using their Apple devices and doing other things while in transit. The car will be a lot different than today in that future and Apple wants to be part of that design.

This is a massive winner take all (or possibly duopoly) market in a way similar to phone platforms.

[edit] In the US the dealership model hamstrings legacy car manufacturers from making important changes. These dealerships have legislated their existence and block things like OTA updates. They're staffed largely by people who dislike EVs and don't really understand the product. This is another big problem for any legacy manufacturer trying to make a big shift.

[0]: For an example of dumbness, GM bought Cruise (smart) and then relegated them to a single product at the edge of their line (dumb). They don't realize what they have or the existential threat they face. I don't hold out hope for any of them.
They need to get out from under Dell’s thumb. Until then no new CEO will bring significant changes.
I use it because I feel people are fundamentally dishonest sometimes about the implications of their ideas.

Some political ideas are not "we must both give up something to exist together." Some are "My idea is morally right, and by necessity it must conquer yours." I use SSM more because it's a pure example of this; what exactly did marriage advocates "give up" in the bargain? It was the opponents who more or less had to capitulate near totally.

This is what culture war is. It is the use of politics to establish ideas and defeat or subjugate those who disagree with it. This does not mean it is inherently immoral; one of the frustrating things about this is the realization that no, the conquerors are not the rapacious Mongols we think they are. But i think people often don't get how much a political idea can be subjugation more than compromise.

As for changing, nah. Can you imagine a world where it has changed so much divorce becomes illegal again? What would it take for people to cast it off? If we were possible of this kind of change as a group I think we'd have far less to worry about climate change for example.

Somewhat meta: Is anybody else getting kinda sick of the hype cycle that drives all of these incredibly speculative announcements? The kind of rabid fandom this hype creates is something we really don't need.

Seriously, we need a lot less hype and a lot more products in our hands (ideally at a lower price due to the reduced marketing spend to build all this BS hype).
> Re: Stack Overflow, while I agree with you, most of my experience with SO downvoting has purely to do with other members thinking "I feel this is a stupid question so I will downvote you".

This has been my experience too. For someone like me who's a non-professional programming hobbyist, SO has been one of the most toxic and unhelpful communities. My only helpful experiences there are with the people who also happen to have their real names for their user ids.

I've had questions downvoted because I omitted something that "should have been there", downvoted because I included some things that "should not have been there", downvoted because I "asked for a suggestion" (eg: which type of DB is better for this kind of data?), or because I asked for something "that has been asked elsewhere", even though the two questions might have different tech stacks and use cases altogether.

I recommend most beginner programmers to go to reddit instead, where there's a less barrier to entry and visibility for questions. People are happy to answer you in Reddit for some karma, while on SO, the people who answer correctly have to subtly beg the questioner to mark the answer as correct.
> I'm guessing they bank on a small % of "whale" consumers using all their allowance and everyone else being way under the limit

For a £7.99/month plan, the cost of goods sold (COGS) on the actual storage and bandwidth is probably about 33% of that -- and that's based on average usage.

Here's a longer explanation with citations that I wrote in 2018: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16465883#16470633. I haven't looked at their annual reports since then, but the COGS could have easily dropped by 50% in that time, so it might be way less than 33%.

Just based on that 2018 data, the other £5 or so is customer acquisition cost, software development, support, administration, and everything else.

The COGS is a small enough part of the price that, even if they could remove a lot of it (by reducing usage and/or the cap), the absolute cost reduction might be 10% or 20% of the current price.

This is true for the smaller plans of almost all SaaS. The vendor's variable COGS are not what you're paying for. (Exception: cloud services with entirely usage-based pricing and no monthly minimum, like S3. Those are rare.)

Their problem with Siri is that their stance on privacy gets in the way in this regard. They won't mine and use the massive amounts of data that they need to train their AI.

To your point; that does mean they probably won't have as good a driver assist system as others because to do so would mean they would have to keep tabs on where and how people drive.
I think it’s really worth considering, but don’t do it off of my post :) Chat to your family about it but also consider speaking to your doctor about anti anxiety counselling/medication. Helped me get through a lot of it.
Apple already tried that with BMW apparently. BMW went along with it until Apple wanted to use Apple branding instead of BMW. That ended the contract. I guess Apple has to find a Car manufacturer who wants to turn into a supplier for apple instead.

I would like to see a platform take this even further, as OMSCS still seems to be tied to an antiquated model of education where students have limited freedom of choice.

If a school chooses any of say teachers / projects / learning material sub-optimally, why should a student need to suffer through?

Taking a look at 3blue1brown video comments, you see many students expressing that their tuition paid professor had failed them and they didn't truly have an intuition for the topic until after watching the 3blue1brown video.

Ideally, a decentralized model surfaces the best to the top so that everyone can learn from, and the creators be rewarded as such.

Beyond that, the new model should do away with timed blocks in favor of true self pacing. This accommodates people with limited time, handles emergencies well, and enables quick learners to accelerate their path without any special permissions required.

The platform should be as 'hands off' as possible, providing only the connections between the creators, tutors, certifiers, students, and recruiters.

It should have no admissions process, and ideally be free. Traditional colleges do a lot of gatekeeping. Education should be accessible to anyone. Let students pursue education, regardless of their presumed 'chance of success', or financial status.
They had C99 support to the extent required by ISO C++ compliance.

The backtrack from "we don't need C anymore" is most likely driven by, WSL, Azure Sphere OS, Azure RTOS, and above all probably some vocal customers with enough power to make it matter.

Even the Windows kernel team dropped the COM based userspace drivers framework, replacing it for a C based one.

In any case, everything from C99 that became optional in C11 isn't planned to ever be supported.
Their closer-to-neutral stance and low-frills style also don't draw in the audiences that the major news outlets do. The American public is too conditioned for sensationalism and sexy graphics to watch PBS NewsHour with the late Jim Lehrer.
To play the devil’s advocate: maybe it doesn’t make sense if you think of Dropbox as a utility for syncing files across computers. But maybe it does make sense if you think of them as a company that’s responsible for safely and securely storing a non-trivial share of world’s data.
But if it were 100K of their biggest/highest paying consumers who make up the bulk of the union, they would at least come to the table. I share your pessimism of inaction.

I'd have loved that at the time! But clients don't like it when we ask them to fix these things.

Less flippantly, with large organizations, the people giving you the data aren't necessarily the people who entered the data or have the ability or skills to fix it. They may also be legally prohibited from altering the data, so correcting errors can get tricky.

Obviously, for downstream analytics you need good data, so we have to fix it as well as possible. Usually, it involved a lot of back and forth with the client. We'd tell them things like, "you have a lot of dates that are set as January 1, 1900, we'll treat those as undefined, does that make sense?" That's why a tool like Great Expectations, especially as it adds data introspection features can be super helpful. I can write a quick spec, compile a report and send the client that report in record time. Even without major errors, the client has all sorts of tribal knowledge about how to use that database is used, and often you have to deduce those rules or do good data introspection to ask the client the right questions.
TL;DR they used GPL software and so had to provide the derivative work back to the community, latest upon request. That's how it went "accidentally" open source, if you want to save a click bait click, no source code was stolen or accidentally posted publicity or anything.
