Sadly the impact of this will be so small google won't even notice. And even if all the angry chromium users that are potentially going to have to switch their browser would take action and be vocal and do something about what is going on with the web, nothing would change. Such is the price of monopolies.

That isn't true: We don't police rich neighborhoods like we do poor ones, so there isn't as much opportunity to catch people doing crime, not to mention that crimes of poverty or opportunity are less when folks aren't needing to steal things. (yes, I realize that not everything people steal are things like food, but mental health is important, and things often fill these needs). In addition, poor people are more likely to get caught for some things simply because of living conditions. A decently middle class person can find a private place to smoke a joint or do drugs. Just go camping, for instance, or out in the backyard. City living plus lack of resources means you can't just go out in the courtyard of the apartments.

I'll also mention that rural places tend to have fewer cops and are seen as having a generally lower crime rate. (I didn't look up the numbers, but this is the stereotype).

Until someone creates a new browser with a new render/scripting engine. Which everyone always jumps on saying "it's impossible", the war is over. Chrome has won. Chrome is currently giving life support to Mozilla and when they decide to axe that, well it's game over for Mozilla.

The depressing part is the freedom, the new that the internet once provided is over. It's been turned in to a commercial breeding ground and we are the cattle to be milked and bred. Until we create a whole new infrastructure, protocol suite away from the broken existing OSI model, the internet isn't going to heal. It's going to be robbed and stabbed repeatedly over and over again.

Look at your browsing history today, how many times have you visited that one site in the last year? Now compare that to how many new sites you have visited in the same year; not a lot I expect.
Even if you're extremely cynical take is accurate people won't use it if performance is unsatisfactory.

Worse than 'dropbox'

There are 3 billion people without internet. It's not a human right, but it's the next tier.

There's a clear path to hooking many of these people up. For instance aid organisations. Unlike installing the scam computer labs where they can just forget upkeep and training, it's known upfront costs they have to be accountable for. And better, small businesses like cafes.

But the 1% are worried it might make their stars look less authentic and their bored ultrarich reddit life needs drama.

Because in reality they don't want to actually go to space and be with the stars, screw that tech of cheap launches and using space, it's just about the books and TV and the appearance.

People are both awful to others and so uninspiring as a default setting.

[edit] For the Flagged reply, it's not logical. The now is a mass of high entropy. The battle forward is already reducing that. This is about caring about their healthcare as human beings for instance, not their crappy Facebook posts. We are about to be hit by AI to mass spam us all, can't you see that? I understand the 'I like real stars' and 'nice conversations', but this is bigger than that. They are people.
>Abandoned perfect forward secrecy and deniability...

I suspect that is the future for encrypted messaging. Pretty much everyone ends up keeping their old messages around thus negating the value of forward secrecy[1]. Deniability ends up being just some forgability scheme in most cases[2].

So the benefit of those features turned out to not be worth the extra risk of the added complexity.

To be fair, one anecdote is the viewpoint from the eyes of someone in the "system" while the other is a viewpoint of those affected by the system. Its essentially recreating the initial conversation of police vs people. One side says all good in the neighborhood, the other says corruption is still a problem.
Love that you included the failed attempts and documented the ideas which you had an followed. Those tend to teach as much as the successful solution (especially for someone like me, who is a not a Java native and haven’t used the more modern versions)
The issue is that Firefox HAS created a new rendering engine, but people don't switch. It has nothing to do with technology, people wont even try to switch. Some for fanboyism, some because they would have to adapt, some don't even know what browser is.

What I do consider staggering is how many technically capable people are not prepared to make a switch.

Google is slowly closing down the lock-down trap they have nurtured for so many years and now it should be obvious to anyone who is looking at "progress" (or decline?) of internet, but this is still not enough to at least stop using the chrome.

Ah, people... we will just never learn.

Long time lurker there I also found it strange and manipulative.

It was also strange to see GME pushed since the sub had a no-penny-stock rule which means anything below 5B market cap would get insta delete.

Part of the strangeness included all the 'ape' comments and copy-pastas everywhere. (what ever happened to the previous 'autist' 'retard' and so on ...)

Even when a huge hedge fund sold massive amounts of stock, the forum was still blaming 'ladder' attacks (not that these didn't probably happen at some point).

Alas, the content on non-daily/non-gme thread was fun, the opportunity was there if you knew when to cash out and ignore things.
From a business perspective, what matters is $'s, not Gbps.

I'm pretty sure the US military will be paying more $'s than any other country's people.

And it'll be used for being able to fly drones with weapons to kill anyone in the world in 30 mins. With that ability, you can decommission a lot of aircraft carriers and spend that cash on decent connectivity for your drone fleets...

iSpatial is also an interesting experience. ImmersedVR is basically a 4+ screen desktop extended workspace while iSpatial gives each window its own screen in multi-level opp center environment. They both have some problems scaling certain content and are works in progress but are the standouts for getting things done in VR. Provided you can touch type well enough.
As all the successful technology, convenience.
it's ok, the graphics are colorful and I'm having fun. I hate the mech recharge mechanic and there's something in the UX that grates me, but can't quite point my finger on it, a combination of "where's that menu" and "how do I get this screen off my face", but the game so far has nothing wrong.

finite resources give me anxiety tho. even wrote a mod for factorio about it.
I'm also curious about specific math.

But I think the DoD billing would be different than you describe. Specifically, even if they're not pushing GBs of video all the time, they'd be paying a lot for guaranteed bandwidth at any time. Pure speculation on my side though - mostly based on seeing overinflated requirement docs.
There is plenty of evidence of inhumane treatment in psych facilities over decades, including human experimentation, drug trials, debilitating brain surgeries, electroshock therapy etc. Psychiatry is probably the single medical field that has caused more harm than it has cured.
Could we please change the title back to its original? There is no obvious reason for changing it on the HN post.

The title of the article is How to hire senior developers: Give them more autonomy and it's not about Peter Naur's view of programming, it's about the author's view on how to hire senior developers.

The article has a few select quotes from Peter Naur's article "Programming as theory building" but the quotes are mainly used to advance the article author's opinions on hiring senior developers, rather than Peter Naur's idea of what programming is. Peter Naur does not seem to be related to this article or its author at all.
> ...jungles of Cambodia, trekked across Myanmar, stayed in villages of central Iran, driven across the deserts North Africa. Never have I felt deprived on good connectivity, even in the deserts of Iran.

That makes me even more grouchy about my current situation :D

You don't have to get too far off a major highway in rural Saskatchewan to have miserable connectivity. You can generally connect to an LTE tower, but between the distance to the tower and how oversold they are, it's a total crapshoot as to whether you'll actually be able to use it. Because the towns are too far away from the switches, the only wireline connectivity you're going to get is 56K dial-up (maybe only 33.6K...).

When they announced the "Better Than Nothing" Beta, I was very excited because "Better Than Nothing" is "Better Than What I've Got" at our rural spot most days.

Edit: I missed your comment in the middle there:

> How is it that in rural US there is no alternative to satellite internet?

Well, the RM (~= county) we're in has a land area of 336 sq.mi. and a population of 275 people (0.8 people/sq.mi.) I have no idea what the population density is like in the Cambodian jungle, but looking at a table in Wikipedia suggests that the least-dense province has about 6 people/km^2 compared to our 0.3/km^2. It's just really really uneconomical to build out wireline service.
Thanks. LTO definitely looks like the more natural option.
Most of the people who ever told a story, sang a song, or drew a picture had no notion of intellectual property or expectation of its legal protection. Yet they told, sang, and drew anyway.
I certainly remember when most blogs were about sharing and not making money. Still, the explosion of tutorials, how tos, cooking lessons, math lessons, science shows, etc on youtube is all arguably because there is a money incentive. The bad parts of youtube (leading to conspiracy videos/fake news) are bad but the good parts (the large number of relatively well produced indie content) feels to me to be pretty awesome and that's arguably because of money.

On the other hand, I only have my experience to go on. I have no idea what youtube is like for everyone, only myself.

I hate all the tech blog posts that seem not about actually sharing useful info but instead about reputation building. I have no idea how much of youtube is that or if it will degenerate to that at some point. Maybe because the tech blog posts don't make money, only rep, they're being used to farm rep.

note: i'm not dissing all tech blogs. There are tons of people who write great and informative posts. I'm just saying that I run into enough that seem like they aren't about sharing, they're about rep farming, and it seems like a phenomenon

You make a very valid point about casualty rates, though I am just about certain that Jim Lovell would have been eager to go regardless.

Getting back to casualty rates, I think you have to at least put them on a log scale to get a feel for their impact on society, at least as long as they are less than the survivorship rate.

80k a year’s a pretty good salary almost anywhere. There’s plenty in NYC who live on less.

GP wasn’t saying everyone in Idaho is a crack head or heroin junkie due to the unfulfilled nature of their work, they were saying there’s too many jobs in America at below living wages and there’s this huge huge gap between the working poor and the white collar that’s only expanding.

Trade schools are great and put out talented professionals who earn decent salaries.

Many people outside of white collar positions and Yale alumni live very rewarding, cultured, and fulfilling lives.

But it doesn’t mean we can’t as a society do better for our lower classes, and a lot of parents are understandably concerned about their children graduating with a mountain of debt, getting a job that pays like shit, not having access to health care, and living an unfulfilling life.

If your life is rewarding in those conditions it is despite your circumstance which certainly does not optimize for a stress free, meaningful and rewarding existence.
I hope they don't see it to much as an industry event, but keep it focussed on the FOSS community. This is what makes the Charme of the event - you get all sorts of content, mostly about technology, less about tech marketing. Especially also from projects with little to no financial objectives.
>Want to leave me a comment? Email me or go away.

The common alternative these days is to have no comment section on your blog, but to post your blog posts to Twitter/Reddit/etc and have the discussion there.

That still builds community and drives traffic to your blog, but with greater potential network effects, and no tech/security overhead or need to be responsible for rando's comments.

We can tell folks what is wrong if you have a common and fairly well understood disease that has indicators that we can test for. People sometimes wait years to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, though, and these have medicines that can significantly improve life. We find cancer, but sometimes treat everything as aggressive (though it is starting to change). And so on.

Heck, we are still slowly discovering body parts.

The brain is one of those things we still don't know a lot about despite the seemingly broad knowledge we have. Some of the knowledge we have is fairly recent and can be thanked, in part, to modern scanning. I don't know how we can expect folks to have a definite test for this when there is so much we don't know.

I wonder if this kind of idea, to scale the time of a game to last tens of years could be an experiment that would inspire people to participate.

The game need not run on the original platform till end and the game could possibly evolve over time, but the actions of original players should have ever-lasting consequences.

Just a weird idea that popped into my head reading your comment.

Haven't heard about "game-ification" of PRs, but even at first glance this idea sounds horribly misguided.

Just as rewarding developers for lines of code written, rewarding them to mark off as many lines of PR as quickly as possible is just so totally moronic I can't begin to comprehend who and for what reason would think that may be a good idea.
It is infrastructure expansion. Just like if someone built an electric grid or new road. Plenty of people may be happy with their existing roads, but making a new one opens up opportunities to people who do want to use the new infrastructure.
thanks so much, this looks interesting.

Work-from-home isn’t going away: Only 4% of CEOs plan to add office space
The original browser "war" between Microsoft and Netscape was over the definition of HTML. Microsoft wanted to control it, and was prepared to damage Netscape's business to quash the competition illegally to impose an arbitrary monopoly.

HTML5 has long been an open standard, maintained by the W3C. Google's role as a W3C member was to end the original browser war by supporting W3C processes with implementations and evangelism that lead to Chrome becoming the most popular browser.

The article's news, about Chromium losing access to app features such as syncing, is a different battle. It is not about arbitrary syntax being controlled by a corporation vs a standards body. It is about the cost of making useful software that serves the public and is given away for free to enable the commons.

Everybody has the right and the technical opportunity to make a browser and ancillary services such as sync. However, a couple of people in a garage don't live long enough to make a browser. Only well funded and well organised groups have the resources to do so.

Even Mozilla relies upon funding from Google to implement Firefox, so really, Google is funding the whole browser ecosystem. That's an entirely different problem to the one Microsoft got busted for in 1996.

It's a problem alright, and one that needs air and sunlight.

To really give this problem the prominence it deserves and requires, we shouldn't be calling it "the endless browser war". We should be calling it something else. Until we do, the status quo is just going to get stronger and more entrenched, because it isn't anything illegal, proprietary, or closed.

The fact that most consumers like Google and don't see the problem makes it all the more urgent to give this problem a name.

Of course I disagree with religious or any other intolerance, but, if you want to do business in Pakistan, you have to follow their rules.

It isn't a case of 'caving to pressure', but of 'complying with the law', since the apps are available in other countries, just not in Pakistan, where they are deemed blasphemous, according to their laws.
Laser links can bring in the HFT traders, but having laser links might lock starlink out of some markets.

Some governments would be happy to let a foreign company run internet services for their people if they can guarantee the data must flow through a ground station within the country. If the satellites have lasers though, the government cannot guarantee that, and therefore may ban the service entirely.
RE: Starlink changing the course of human history.

Exactly. We've already seen Russian authorities say that people will be arrested for using Starlink. All of a sudden, governments have lost the ability to shut off the internet without some serious jamming.

Just thinking of the post-disaster communications potential is pretty staggering.

(I feel compelled to mention that I'm not a "fan" of Elon Musk.)

I'd love to see a multi-link mesh appear across the world, with Starlink stations, wifi, 4/5G, fibre and cable, etc etc. I honestly think that basic low-broadband speeds should be free to everyone in the world, and so should the ability to serve up content from a cheap Raspberry Pi.

It seemed like someone figured out how to weaponize social media.

A lot of things that happened on T_D happened on wsb recently too.

- bots spamming 'X from Y, I just put in ZZZ cash' similar to T_D picture comments when Trump got elected with 'I just voted' where it was mostly spam

- copy pasta same thing, constantly on the GME thread even though it was outdated and moronic... (usually content is either well thought out, sarcasm/jokes, fresh memes)

- An insane amount of bots posting new spam threads visible when reddit ban limits were reached. (good thing for the moderators)
Not a lot. At FOSDEM (at least for the last 10y, I have been attending), you have four kinds of talks:

* Lighting talks/short talks: Most of the time, you may not have Q/A if the speaker talks too long but you can catch they off stage to talk about it. So you keep the live aspect.

* Big/Popular talks/Main roam (Janson): You don't ask Q/A during those presentations so it would not change a lot.

* Mid-sized talks/roams: It depends on the speaker how much interaction, he wants.

* Tiny roams: There you will loose the jokes and the fun going on with well-know speakers in their communities.

I think we will see less informal/fun talks because the streaming format does not easily allow the spur of the moment joke/question. The quality of the speaker will really during those Q/A moments but on a time management side, the good news is that you have less time-keeping to do with a prerecorded streaming event if each talks has his channel.
Rooms are organized by volunteers of the communities. Typically there was a shortage of physical rooms which doesn't exist that much inna virtual event (still they wouldn't take everything I assume and haven't counted if/how much they grew)

If the is no Rust room, it seems that nobody from the Rust community saw need to hold these kinds of gatherings. So maybe an item for your to-do list to push for next year. (And as others have said in this thread: previously it was part of Mozilla and given Mozilla's change of priorities recently, I assume they stepped back)
