I'm still surprised at how quickly and permanently Big Finance fell out of the national limelight after the 2008 financial crisis. In my view, big banks and private capital firms have a much bigger impact than Big Tech on the average American's ability to find work and afford housing. My impression is that American press attention shifted to Big Tech around 2012, coinciding with the end of the Occupy movement. I'd be curious to see whether anyone has quantified this shift, such as with NLP analysis of news articles.
> An extra port is not inconvenient

An extra port:

- is e-waste for everyone who never uses it

- reduces the rigidity of the case

- increases costs

- adds weight

- takes up space

- lets in dust and potentially liquid spills

You can see why people who never use them say ‘no thanks’. Isn’t it better that the people who do want them take on the costs of the port via a dongle?
Agreed but let's also give credit to Apple for trying to innovate. The TouchBar wasn't a bad idea just that it probably wasn't tested thoroughly with all types of users. It more seems like a "I think everyone's going to love it" kind of a designer's idea. Anyway, would happily buy a model without it.
Maybe consider that it’s more nuanced in real life.

That $12 card reader, even expensive USB-3 card readers, are often a lot slower than that builtin one. They get lost and broken, not even considering that when you’re on the go, many photographers will absolutely try to shed as much unnecessary weight as possible, as not many people are built like the hulk or have an entourage of assistants doing the heavy lifting.

I use my laptop a lot outside of an office, and having that multitude of builtin ports is an absolute must, as dongles are quite difficult to deal with in situations when I don’t have a flat surface to put the laptop on. That TB/Ethernet dongle I regularly do have to use has been a great source of frustration.
Any views on Vanta vs Tugboat Logic vs Laika? I’m trying to choose among them am leaning towards Tugboat Logic. It’s policies seem more thoroughly drafted and they let you test drive the platform, which none of the others allow. Vanta has more integrations but doesn’t currently do Jamf from what I can tell.
This Pad thing only relevant because they copycat all up/ux

It would be totally justified to call new/innovative tablet/OS a Pad
Like others posted, I definitely meant rust, if we're talking compiled, compile time checked systems languages -- there are only so many recent entries with something new to say in the space.

If we're talking just pure abstraction I think there are a lot of other choice that could have delivered similar improvements in performance for an IO-dependent workload, with better methods of abstraction, ecosystem, and safety -- that choice for me would be Typescript.

[EDIT] Also to note, even as a Haskell zealot I'm not crazy enough to suggest someone choose Haskell as an alternative where Go would have been good enough. I have enough experience with business needs to know that the purity/safety/whatever other benefits of haskell just aren't worth the lack of ecosystem, difficulty in finding developers, and hit to developer speed. Haskell is too far on the spectrum (on various axes) to be the right choice most of the time, and not enough companies have shared how they've outperformed with it to even start the conversation. Haskell is like the mercedes of programming languages -- airbags show up there first, but regular cars get them eventually.
Really, you can’t detect that if you’re on the machine?... and if you’re not on the machine or its acting differently to what the logs show. Isolate it until you can investigate.
>"That skiing trip to the Alps that you organised for your workers last year..."

In my other life when on job interviews sometimes they would describe various perks (free food, drinks, twice a year retreat, pool tables, Friday night outings etc. etc. ) as an advantage of working for their company.

Maybe I am weird but my internal thoughts were - can I just have it in cash and I'll find my own ways to organize my life. Do not need any help in this department.
Calling people you don't agree with stupid does not help, actually, it makes you part of the problem.

Continously learn about computer science, one paper at a time
Ok, to me it is obvious because words are themselves symbols - and thus everything that we can describe, and reason about, is symbolic. Us discussing here is symbolic, and a book is a complex, structured, symbolic message. Even if my understanding and your understanding of a particular word may differ somewhat, and there is subjective subsymbolic meaning (e.g. when I read “love”, I tie it with my life experience, and yours is nothing alike), when you compose complex messages those nuances lose importance.

If you read War and Peace, and I read War and Peace, even if our experience of the reading might be slightly different, it will be due to how we react to it, and to which passages we tend more attention; and we will generally agree on what Tolstoy wanted to communicate - not only on the words themselves, but on the world constructed, and the implications of it that are not explicitly described.

Another way to look at it: we don’t have any evidence that we need more than a symbolic approach to replicate what we do with language: and we have built a whole civilization based on written education, which is based in symbols.

2FA prevents harvesting of passwords - but it just means that they have to be actively (or programmatically) attacking

I suppose if they AlSO have protections against proxying (forbid more than X login/login attempts from a given IP) it might help - but certainly not against spearphishing. Honestly don’t see how you can protect against even moderate level spearphishing reasonably.

Some banks have a “word” or picture you select that they’ll show you durning login - never understood how this can’t just be proxied.

Certificate based authentication in theory allows both sides to Authenticate the Other.
There's so many MAGA supporters on HN, it's hard to imagine this won't be flagged, but when I look at the pics of the people invading the Capitol, I honestly believe that not a single one of them deserves the technology that's been given them.

Millions of man hours dedicated to solving amazing technical problems which allow greater access to information than ever before in human history, and these useless idiots use it to spread lies, disinformation and foment insurrection.

We require licenses for operating machinery like cars, and I truly, honestly, and without hyperbole think it's time we do the same for information technology. Spreading misinformation and disinformation has cost the U.S. nearly 400,000 lives and counting. That's worse than the number of car deaths by an order of magnitude. Time for us to act accordingly.

Kara wants to blame Big Tech, but I don't. I blame the jerks who abuse and misuse the tech for personal gain, and the idiots who are their willing followers. I loathe Facebook, but it wasn't Zuckerberg inciting people to insurrection.

Big tech has been restrained, all things considered. Think about it. Can you imagine if the head of, say, Microsoft, Apple or Google was as mentally ill as Trump? Serious, serious damage could result.

You want to drive a car? You go take a test that shows you understand the law, and respect others on the road. You want to use a smartphone to share news about politics? You should have to take a test that shows you understand the law and respect others as well.

They actually get around SNI blocks (or did, I'm not sure if anymore) with a technique called "domain fronting".

Not exactly sure what the current state is.

> The other reason Optane excels is latency.

It's not an "other reason". IO operations at queue depth 1 are a direct measurement of latency. Queue depth 1 is not about throughput at all.

> Suppose the workload is light, at only 500 IOPS, which are "small" enough to service quickly.

I will assume the workload is light in CPU too, since spending half the time waiting for the disk is apparently not an instant disqualification.

> So disk A is in fact actually 1000x faster, if you're waiting on its result. Which, for single-threaded operations, you often are. If you're instead optimizing for throughput, you don't care.

If you're waiting on a bunch of results and disk A gets them to you significantly faster, it sounds like your initial premise of "only 500 IOPS" was wrong or misleading.

If you have a response time you want to meet, then you should measure IOPS with a sliding window of that many milliseconds. If it's still 500 at most, then disk B will still be fine for meeting your target.

If it turns out that "500" actually comes in bursts of 50 operations, and you want to be done in 10 milliseconds, then you should label your workload as "5k IOPS". Put in a drive that does at least 10k and you'll see all calculations done in under a frame; basically perfect latency. A drive a million times faster would have no practical difference.
I feel like the migration to open floor plans and offices where you need to take your knowledge base everywhere (e.g., conference rooms) has lead to laptops being the default loadout for many companies.
"toxic wasteland" isn't the reason they gave for moving to Arm, though I don't have a reference to hand.

> How do people expect the GPL to be respected when distributions don't respect other people's licenses?

Easy: they are different groups of people. The people who expect/want the GPL to be respected and the people who strip other people's licenses with reckless abandon are not the same people.

The same could happen with any license, there's nothing in the GPL which can make you more prone to disrespecting other author's software.
I have absolutely no education on the subject and have done almost zero research, but I wonder if this "Self Destructive Behavior of Humans" is merely the evolutionary local optimum of tribal behavior.

Historically, it has been an advantage to have a strongly tribal drive. Cohesive groups achieved much more than individuals and yet were small enough that they could effectively self-police and agree on common goals.

However, as the capabilities of each tribe increased and the world became smaller through travel (and now the internet), tribalism, us-versus-them still remain part of our basic instincts and subconscious, however it is now the source of international and high powered conflicts.

10000 years ago, our tribal programming resulted in the survival of a group of families and the development of townships and emergence of societies. If a tribe got particularly bloodthirsty, their impact was almost purely local and perhaps eventually their notoriety resulted in a decline.

Now, sticks and stones have been replaced by nuclear weapons and ICBMs. A first strike capability is no longer dangerous to just one village, but entire continents.

Perhaps our technological evolution has outpaced our biological and social evolution, and the behavior that was optimal even 1000 years ago is now a grave danger?

I think that's sort of a moot point. The fact is, there are plenty of people out there that can be whipped into a frenzy by misinformation. You can blame them all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that they are there and that they can be a dangerous and destabilizing force.

Legally seen it could lead to this, I guess?

But practically you could just download it from idk. a server not in the US/EU/UK, or a server in the US/EU/UK which doesn't know (or care) about the problem. Or from
a torrent or similar.

Furthermore (assuming Apples sues and wins a case) I don't think they will bother trying preventing a (for them) small amount of private people from using it. Through if it becomes more successful it's likely another matter.

What they care about is that you can't buy a tablet of which the UI looks, feels and behaves like iOs.

I just fear this might be abused by Apple or other entities as an argument why devices should be looked down and users must not be allowed to install their own Os as this would lead to all kind of fraud and lost revenue. (Just to be clear I'm fully aware that for a tech aware person this argument makes no sense, but propose it to an old politician who doesn't really understand anything IT related and they might believe you, and at least in Germany we have way to many tech incompetent politicians...)

EDIT: Also in the parent post I probably should have used the term distribute inside of the EU/US/... Anyway I'm not a lawyer so the exact terminology might not be quite right.

I don't understand what you mean. Something about 2FA does this? How?
Some thoughts having just completed this:

* It costs $40k in year one and $30k/year in subsequent years if you do the now typical stack of Vanta, pen test, vulnerability monitoring and audit fees. This makes ROI pretty straight forward to figure out.

* There's really no benefit to getting Type 1, you just need to get the Type 1 posture and then wait out the monitoring period in order to get type 2. If the customers actually care, they are smart enough to know that it's a lot harder to fudge it for 6 months than it is for one four hour Zoom call.

* You can definitely get to about 60% of SOC2 just doing obvious best practice (code reviews, SSO, HTTPS only, database alerting). The next 20% is worthwhile but not intuitive, the final 20% is neither.

Agreed with the top comment about infosec teams being reasonable. At this point I think it would be pretty hard to do deals with public companies without having Type 2, and our domain isn't even that security focused.
It would likely require proportionate rather than equal coverage. That's how it works in Ireland anyway (though not always uncontroversially - it's a hard thing to get right all the time). Fringe or extreme opinions don't automatically get credulous airtime.
Of course Ive pushed the design this way. He also designed the Apple Watch to be a design centric device and didn’t want it to be about health.

I wonder if any of these design choices are what led to him leaving. I’m almost confident a consensus was around one of these major changes he bet on and leadership heard all the nasty feedback across the web. Maybe Ive took it personally and just decided his time was over.
Isn't that the point of separating a paper into editorial and opinion? The opinion section should be a place where journalists (or other figures) should be able to voice their concerns on what they see as important.

Kara has been pretty vocal during the last few years on her opinion of social media allowing Trump to spread disinformation and try to incite violence. It took inciting an attempted coup and a couple of people dying before they did the right thing. Her opinion seems to be that they shouldn't have let it get that far, seeing as the writing has been on the wall for a long time.

It can, simple as that. Some make it moderately more difficult by showing you, say, 9 pictures and asking you to pick the one that's yours. But, again, dead easy to proxy.

> The way he proposed to Anna, Christofi writes, “is so quietly bashful that you can’t help wanting to hug him”. He is quite right, but I won’t give away the plot.

Spoiler alert, this is how he proposed, it's quite sweet:

Anna describes how Dostoevsky began his marriage proposal by outlining the plot of an imaginary new novel, as if he needed her advice on female psychology.[5] In the story an old painter makes a proposal to a young girl whose name is Anya. Dostoevsky asked if it was possible for a girl so young and different in personality to fall in love with the painter. Anna answered that it was quite possible. Then he told Anna: "Put yourself in her place for a moment. Imagine I am the painter, I confessed to you and asked you to be my wife. What would you answer?" Anna said: "I would answer that I love you and I will love you forever". [0]

Sigh. Not this again. Linux has been ready for the desktop, for me and many others, since more than a decade.

I have not claimed that HTML is the bottleneck. I have claimed that we are using it for things it was not meant for, creating major inefficiencies.

Can we agree that modern web-based UIs can often be slow or just CPU-intensive? If so, then why is that?

Your claim is effectively that HTML has no impact on the problem. Purely perfomance-wise, yes, modern browsers are plenty capable of doing DOM mutations super fast. No problem there. But since we are using an ecosystem that wasn't meant for interactive UIs, we need to create inefficient layers on top of it. Why do we need to create those layers? Because the underlying abstractions (HTML/CSS/JS) are not suitable.

I am not sure how else to make you understand. How come in 2021 there is no easy way to build a performant interactive UI on the web? If the ecosystem were suitable for it, surely we would have a reasonable solution by now. Considering how DOM changes are done plenty fast, JS is plenty fast and that we have major tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple) working on the web, we should not have any issues.

In any case, it seems we are not going to be able to convince eachother. I am a believer in fundamentals. Get them right, and the rest follows. HTML was and is great for documents, but for interactive UIs, we can do better.
