If the Signal clients are using E2E encryption, then trusting the server code is significantly less important; the whole point is you don't need to trust the server. With Telegram, E2E encryption is not enabled in all modes, and is not the default.

Steve Jobs was unpopular too with a significant portion of Apple staff, and outside of Apple too.

Something I've noticed is that many people prefer to work with pleasantly incorrect people over bluntly correct people.

This seems to have an obvious remedy: just be pleasantly correct.

Okay, now try to tell someone their "baby is ugly" in a pleasant way! It's basically impossible. Their feelings will get hurt.

The difference between people like Steve Jobs and Jim Keller versus the middle managers that got to their positions through making nice is that the former don't hesitate to call people's babies ugly. Or beautiful. Or mediocre.

They call it like it is, and some people just prefer to be lied to...
It's like net neutrality but for gatekeepers. They can't abuse their position.
1. The client is up-to-date on GitHub, which is a much better situation than with WhatsApp or Telegram. An outdated server code just gives you reason to distrust their metadata handling.

2. Trust is a bit more complicated than that. FB sells your data and Telegram is very shady in many more regards. The situation with Signal is completely different.

3. Even if the server code on GitHub was updated, what exactly would give you reason to believe that they run that version in production? Ultimately, you cannot trust the server. This can only be solved with decentralization.
I use a Sony Alpha 65 from 2011.
I am not upgrading it because I am very happy with my lenses (I tried a lot of lenses and now use only 2 most of the time) and it has a GPS to tag photos which newer version do not have.

I dont understand why high end cameras don't have a GPS when a 100€ smartphone does.

I wish they'd be more open about this, since it's one of the biggest hurdles with Signal.
It's not that the government freely shares that information (they do some) but that they actually sell information to companies that then create searchable products on that data.

And of course you can't generally opt out of the government selling you data (a friend litigated this and lost).
Correct me if I'm wrong but unless you're already an established brand that people actively seek out, or part of the first X listings in a category of a thing everyone wants (i.e. SEO, Ads, accounting for webshops), wouldn't you already be too late on these market places?
So if we assume the level of service is not much better, AWS is the more prudent choice, no? So trademark issues aside, AWS does ES better than Elastic?
Can someone quote the actual rule that Australia is proposing? Does it affect all links? Would HN be affected?
Yes, probably should have been a bit more clear about my point. It was not just Reddit and I think the evidence is a bit stronger than you hint at. The fundamental problem facing the 'free speech uber alles' crowd is that there is a growing body of evidence that shows how de-platforming works to limit and contain the most violent and toxic online actors.

I know there might not be a distinction for a lot of people, but the name and the headline makes it ambiguous, at least to me.

Maybe add an "About" page outlining what it's meant for?

Most of the headlines I see right now aren't about git, which is what I would guess something called "Git News" was :-)

There are close to 32 billion millisecond in a year. If the chance of a collision happening within a millisecond is 1 in a billion then my intuition is that the probability of a collision happening at least once a year is quite high, indeed.

It's like a dice: You have 1 in 6 chance of getting a 6 every time your roll the dice. Now, if you roll the dice 100 times the chance that you'll get a 6 at least once is then pretty high.

In fact, Elastic new license was created by Mongo.

i follow almost everyone who puts a like on my stuff on github; then every project they like appears on my github timeline in return. I see a lot of cool stuff, but frankly, I don't have the time to follow up on all these leads. there is so much fragmentation in the oss world (speaking as someone who worked in different domains and programming languages) It's as if there are different tribes who all live in their very own bubble.
Doesn't burying the trees drastically increase the length of capture? Then it's a matter of cost and resource optimisation. I'd do the job of planting, cutting, trucking, and burying trees with pride.
I'm a bit disappointed by all the good guy/bad guy judgement going on here on HN, when both players are working with the market forces to get the best result.

From AWS' perspective, taking an OSS Project and offering it as a hosted solution is legally fine.

Elastic isn't happy about the fact that AWS make more profit from their OSS product than themselves, so they recognize that OSS isn't their best approach anymore, and do it differently.

AWS decides that forking and maintaining the their own OSS version is more profitable in the long run than paying license fees.

What changed since Elastic's original license choice? Hosting an SaaS version was possible back then, but it didn't happen at the scale that it is, so it was more of a theoretical problem. Now it's a very practical problem.

This is a bit of a simplistic take, and there seem to be a lot of side shows (like trademarks), so more details lurk in the shadows.

If I were to try to make a value judgement, my premise would be the flourishing OSS is a good thing. AWS's actions have have driven Elastic to make their product no longer OSS, which is not good. OTOH they maintain an OSS fork, which is good.

But the interesting broader question is: would it have been beneficial for OSS if Amazon were paying some license fees to Elastic, for an OSS product? I think we need to find some model whereby OSS shops are not forced to rely on the whim of a giant to make their money. Whether this can be done sustainably without restricting usage rights remains to be seen, IMHO.
I don't cheat myself anymore that I can be productive after normal working hours.

My body doesn't want to sit any longer than it already does. And it isn't healthy either. Also mind is not as flexible.

Possible solution for any body issues might be frequent exercise and for mind -- working in the morning as suggested in other comments.

I'm working on my project for around 6-7 months already. First couple of months of work was done mostly during weekends and after hours. But recently I had a 2 week Christmas break which I used to work on my side project full-time. This made me realise how much more productive and creative I'm when I can single-focus on one thing for couple of days in the row. I've redesigned my whole app, it looks and works much better. So in result, a little over one week of work had similar effect to 6 months of working after hours.

So perhaps a good solution is just to take days off to focus entirely on your product and use your after hours and weekends to actually rest.
I haven't been following this too closely, so I'm hoping someone could bring me up to speed a little bit.

Do Google actually need to pull all of search in order to avoid paying news sources? Why wouldn't it be enough to remove Google News in Australia & deindex news websites?

Also, as I understand it, in order to comply with the regulation Google would need to negotiate a price with news sources. Couldn't they just reach agreement with just some news sources and deindex the others?
I have found a similar issue in another COVID related website recently. Effectively zero validation on data entered. This enables any half competent dev (could probably just use some Firefox plugins) to completely own the whole process.

The internet was meant to enable access. Now I see government services being put on the internet only to become owned by anonymous developers and then dolled out from there.

It’s far from equal or equitable.

Then Google should hire journalists to write it.

Those Silicon Valley boys, always trying to make money on the labour of others. Will they ever come up with a business plan that is not at heart slavery, theft or extortion?
Yeah I used to see it from time to time, but it’s been w long time now. It seems to me that modern C++ doesn’t really need it unless you’re doing something like including data files (rather than source files) multiple times.

Having said that, I almost did something like that recently, to initialise some generated data structures (include once for the structs and again to initialise memory pools), but I ended up finding a cleaner way that didn’t need it.
I like the idea of adding RSS support (to LibHunt); however, what do you imagine being syndicated in a topic? All recently mentioned projects?

Edit: OK, I will add RSS support per programming language. So every time a new projects gets into the top mentioned projects it will be syndicated.
> What I don't quite udnerstand however, is why is sorted random better if I'm using an index in both cases?

Data locality. The default index in most RDBMS is a btree which is ordered and clustered so when you look up items in an index if they sort similarly they’ll be in the same index page(s) and thus cheaper to retrieve. For PKs that means when you go through your records it’s cheap to get siblings.

When the ids are randomly distributed it’s way more expensive to add them because they get added at random positions (writes are scattered which is bad) and when you retrieve them you have to jump through the index at random loading a bunch of pages to get just one or two records from it.

Things are even worse if the table itself is clustered after the PK because now your scattered index is also ducking with your actual data reads.
Those people desiring greater flexibility etc have no reason to move away from Whatsapp. I mean, if Telegram has the same ups and downs including security approach as Whatsapp, then what's the upside of moving to it?

>what could Microsoft do that would change your perspective on them?

I mean it's really complicated. For starters I'd like them to stop forcing people to use their bad products just because they were there first to lock down the market and or abused their position. This is still happening today.

Then I'll be more open to use their good products, and there's plenty of that. I want to be excited when MS announces a new technology, not to be reminded of how bad they behave as a company and the negative impact they have on my life.

>And do you hold other companies (FAANG) do the same standard?

Yes. At least with e.g. Apple and Google I can just not use their products, but with Google it's getting harder and harder as they monopolize the web and close/lock Android even more. Google removed don't be evil from their motto, MS should change theirs to We love open source when it's convenient. Nothing wrong with doing manipulative PR like everyone else, but don't be surprised when some people don't want to drink it.
Using an ordered ID prevents index fragmentation. Inserts will be slower and ultimately so will reads. In a database like MS SQL Server this is especially true since data is physically stored on disk based on the clustering key which is the PK by default.

Perhaps these people didn't object for the reasons I described above. ISIS is nothing like the Capitol Hill demonstrators.
I think a lot of people on this thread are getting the wrong idea of how art archiving works, which is understandable, as the art world is pretty opaque at the best of times.

Being stored in a museum's basement is not a terminal state. Beside the growing effort to digitize collections (like this one), new curators design new exhibits based on their archive--and the archives of other museums who are willing to loan pieces--all the time. The archives are also typically accessible on request, though this is mostly done by researchers/students.

Being stored in the archive simply means there is a team of people dedicated to caring for a piece until there is someone asks to see it. This system isn't perfect, and some museums are better than others about access, but it is far from the "buried forever" scenario that many seem to be imagining.

In fact, the "lost forever" scenario is far more common on the private market, where art is bought as an investment in which the owner is actually incentivized to restrict access. Due to the complexities of international trade, there is a huge amount of "lost" art sitting in some anonymous buyer's vault that may or may not ever resurface. To be clear, I have no problem with the private ownership of art, it's just more often the cause of the problem being discussed here (inaccessibility) than it is a solution.

The indexes advantages would be the same when you think of searching. But for inserting (and deleting) it is much faster if they are already orderded. You don't need (or well, the DB engine) to traverse any trees or anything. If they are 100% ordered, inserting new ones to that index would be just add something at the end of a list, much faster.
Opportunity #67: Selling backward-looking lists of successful business models.
As a rule of thumb, a table that grows over time probably has a "creation time" field, and a query that touches one row probably touches other rows created around the same time (like a weekly report). Since rows are probably stored on disk in chronological order, you can index the "creation time" field and do a good job, but if your primary key is already roughly chronological you may be able to get away with one fewer index and keep inserts/updates cheaper.

I had a 25-30 year old Caprice and then tracked a new Camaro. I have a bit of mechanical experience with all the work that comes with those. Of course electric vehicles will be the next big thing.

I definitely would not work at a dealer or chain. Being part of a small company or your own would be great. Not moving up wouldn't be a big deal in that kind of role.

On a side note, I'm confused why everyone is obsessed with moving up. Can't people just be happy where they are? I really don't see much difference in my company between the various levels, nor is it a very big promotion at 7%.
> "Well I'm terribly sorry you feel that way, we will no longer feature you in search results"

The publishers also lobby for laws that make dropping them from search illegal.
That would be insanely self-destructive for Google.

Other similar countries such as New Zealand and Canada would start looking at the US-based Google and start to wonder if they should continue to be allowed to have such power over sovereign nations. More independent-minded nations such as France and Germany would almost certainly take preemptive action to protect themselves.

Not to mention that Google is trying to "sell-sell-sell" GCP and Google Workspace to not just Australian businesses, but Australian Government. Every pending deal would be instantly cancelled and every existing customer would migrate off Google in a hurry.

Google might lose billions of dollars of revenue to protect what? News? Nobody pays for that!

This does not deal with the very real fact that Signal's server code is out of date by 9 months. Period. Telegram's closed-source server was used as a weapon against the Telegram community by Signal people for ages. But now that the shoe's on the other foot, let's be apologists.

The problem is that restrictions are not thought through. If they were banned from using Android altogether, they wouldn't be able (legally) to port it on that architecture in the first place. The same goes with the RISC-V as well - the law could be written to allow only certain countries to use it freely.
These obstacles are kind of similar to patents. When you discover something and then you learn someone was first to patent it, you have to invent your own thing, so in this regard these embargos are just an inconvenience rather than a real instrument to force another country to behave in a civilised way.
I wonder how authors of RISC-V must feel when their architecture is being appropriated by a country that violates human rights. Is that in the spirit of the free license?

And, at the root of it, is ad-based business model.
