It's not about a single project or even many --- but the gradual normalisation/acceptance of "safe languages" (and likewise, the ostracising of "unsafe languages") that is the main concern. A "creeping absolutism", in other words.

Do I want a browser that's free of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities? Yes.

Do I want a "device" that I can't take control of, despite the fact that I bought it? Do I want unbreakable DRM? No. Hell no.

The problem is that those who work on the latter will see the former, and adopt the same technologies to enslave instead of empower.

Ultimately it's a balance of power. Neither total lawlessness nor total authoritarianism ("zero crime", as some like to call it), to use a real-world analogy.

No, it is not easier. Working on them across multiple repos is just as easy. In either case you write dev tools to apply changes across units. If the units are repos, it adds no additional complexity.
If you extend the infinity sideways (easy with touch, hard with mouse) it seems to depend on how many lobes there are. 3, 5, or 7 is stable, 4, 6, or 8 is very unstable.
It's not perfect, but I believe Coinbase uses a combination of cold (offline) storage for most of its coins and insurance for the rest. Also, as you probably already know, people should not hold large sums on exchanges if they can use secure their own keys (and wallets) instead.

> "Coinbase prioritizes the security of our customer's digital currency through a combination of online “hot storage” and offline “cold” storage. Coinbase maintains 98% or more of customer digital currency in cold storage, with the remainder in secure hot servers as necessary to serve the liquidity needs of our customers. All digital currency that Coinbase holds in its online hot storage is insured. If Coinbase were to suffer a breach of its online hot storage, the insurance policy would pay out to cover any customer funds lost as a result."

Good, but sad info. Thanks for sharing
Not exactly sure what bits GP is referring to, but IMO this is a good summary of what makes Erlang work: https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html
One can look at Sweden and the green parties strategy for dealing with grid instability. Government are interested in a stable grid so they pay fossil fueled power plants to operate in backup mode. That way the power plant get paid twice, once by the government and then for any power that they manage to sell.

The second part to the plan is to spend a lot of tax money expanding the power lines to nearby country in order to increase the capacity for importing energy from nearby countries coal based power plants.

As a conclusion I agree that the people that build power plants don't care about the system as a whole. The government however do care about stability and mine is perfectly fine with spending tax money on that. Politically, voters are not going to be upset that money is spent on grid stability, even if then ends up in the hands of owners of fossil fueled power plants.
This would be a fun game if it wasn’t Free to Play. I wish they would just charge $50 and not optimize for whales and engagement. Diablo 1 and 2 did this and made tons of money.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Coinbase stock track bitcoin extremely closely.
A fresh air exchanger in an HVAC system. The fresh external air coming in is [warmed|cooled] by the interior air being exhausted.
These effects scale. If every single laptop uses a small amount more power than is necessary, the relatively minor increase in energy use for one computer totals up to a significant increase in overall energy usage. Not to mention the unnecessary obsolescence of hardware. The externalities of manufacturing new hardware - and disposing of old hardware - are extremely significant. Just so what? So my perfectly good 10 year old laptop has enough RAM to run 6 Electron apps at once?

Sure, your ceiling lights use less energy than your fridge. That's not a justification for everyone to completely ignore turning them off when not needed.
The network needs a blocks every 10 minutes or so in order to mint a coinbase transaction (the tx that generates new Bitcoins). This is important to ensure that the network reaches 21million cap on time. If new blocks are not minted every 10 minutes, the calculation to reach 21million will be distorted.

One thing to understand is that these folks form a mutual admiration society and keep propping each other by making bombastic claims like this.
Exactly Right! I think this mindset is fundamental to advancing Science. One of the reasons i feel that "doing" Science has fallen out of favour with the public is because the "Researchers" are not being daring and brave enough to "dream up" far fetched hypotheses and in general not pushing the envelope. Most are just regular "salaried employees" with no great dreams/ambitions.
Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine Can Now Be Stored on Regular Pharmaceutical Freezers Too
We're just at a point in the economy where it doesn't make sense to hold on to cash. It's just completely losing its value thanks to a long sustained QE.

People are just putting their money into anything as a hedge - real estate, stocks, crypto, gold. Until the value of the at can be sustained and inflation comes back, it's unlikely much else will change.
The first nine months bitcoin was at a $10k and below level. They are making considerably more money since the boom took off after that.

I don't know if it will be 20x higher either. Just saying, this makes more sense than say, Zoom, which trades at $120B mcap.

I dont think the volumes will last, but if you look at volumes today and extrapolate further growth, then sure $100B makes sense.
Wow, that's a fun fact, there is an insurance. That's pretty cool, I wonder how much insurance are for these companies and brokerages
That routine is gold on so many levels.
It matters to the extent that saying "environmental harm is a deliberate design choice of bitcoin" is false, rather than true.
This makes for a good story but shouldn’t be surprising. You don’t have to go far to find people willing to ridicule a new idea in science. Most of the time it’s “why are you focusing on that area of research? It’s a dead end”.

It makes for a good story for the non-scientist, but as a scientist this is how it works. Until you can prove your theory it’s just a theory and it’s the job of other scientists to poke holes in it.

I noticed your simpler loops and prefer those for sure. It feels like that's what they should have been from the start for flexibility of implementation.
This sounds like the most honest account of the situation from all the sources I've read about it, thanks for summarizing in such a succinct way.

Elon also tweeted that Bitcoin is almost as BS as fiat money in December, while Tesla was secretly buying up their Bitcoin. If you believe Elon swings the markets, you could argue that he was manipulating Bitcoin prices down so Tesla could buy at cheaper prices before their announcement.

Now he seems to be trying to close the loop by legitimizing his previous statements. I wouldn't be surprised if his previous comments are coming under scrutiny and this is his way to convince that he wasn't being dishonest earlier.
> How much do they lose from the PR of gutting their AI ethics division of people who didn't toe the company line? More than a couple million easily, IMO.

Very few people really care about this issue enough to permanently change their behavior. My family was pretty upset about Gebru firing but when I visited all of their computers were still defaulting to search Google instead of Bing or duckduckgo.

A lawsuit where they lied about firing someone is much worse PR and then the truth about why they fired her would get out and it would be much worse. Also she hasn't denied the accusation.
Cloudron.io and Sandstorm.io both do this well. (Cloudron is very actively maintained with a lot of package updates and a very wide package library and feature set, Sandstorm is open source and adds a layer of security in assuming apps are evil or compromised.)

I do think there's probably a good market for a "just plug it into the back of your router" box that has one of these pre-installed and ready to go.

Windows Home Server used to be an attempt by Microsoft to make a home server accessible to the average user crowd. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't feel consumers (or businesses, if we're being honest) should have on-premise servers anymore, and has deprecated both Home Server and Small Business Server, and the UI features that made them more accessible to the layman.
> My pet goose (yeah, weird pet, but she was from an egg I saved and incubated)

Did you find the egg in the wild? I was under the impression commercial eggs were generally not fertilized.

On a different note, how does your goose behave toward people? My dad still tells stories of the cute easter chick he raised, which grew into a non-cute rooster that took over the back yard and terrorized everyone except my grandmother.
I guess since the majority here is positive I shall offer my dissenting opinion.

I signed up for the site in the early days prior to browser sync being a common feature, but I just never found it fit my use model. It turns out the bookmarks I use tend to be either quick access shortcut which browser features like the bookmark toolbar or speed dial is a much better fit for, or short term reference which I end up just keeping in tabs.

I know HN here is generally very positive about subscriptions and mentions it's just a cost of coffee, but eventually they add up and the last couple of years the amount of cups of coffee and the overhead of thinking about which are actually providing their value has soured me on it and left me longing for days when more items were just purchased outright. I've mentioned in other posts moving back to music download purchases after subscription service library changes became problematic as an example.

Bookmark sync is just not worth a recurring payment to me. I use Firefox Sync these days, but if that went away I'd just run an instance before I'd pay for it. It sounds like from other comments here that Pinboard has not been much more reliable of late so it's not even like by letting someone else deal with running it that you get a more reliable service.
1. Lying about why an employee fired in an easily verified way is a huge unforced error. We can probably assume Google is not that incompetent.

2. She hasn't denied the accusations.
But did she release documents to the press?

Exfiltration of confidential documents could mean just forwarding emails to herself or an employment lawyer.

Why Your Wild Trading Ideas Feel So Right
Every so often I have an itch to find a good eInk tablet, and each time I come away disappointed.

Outside the remarkable and a few locked in reader only tablets, the market gets really sketchy (no pun intended) real fast. Lots of questionable companies and brands like Boox, which is disappointing as feature wise the Boox hardware seems more ideal and hackable than the comparatively (and intentionally!) primitive/restricted remarkable kit.

There are a few sort of decent companies with okay products, some even publish their modded kernel sources, but in the end I've never been able to pull the trigger on these $300+ devices that often have both severe hardware and software limitations.

eInk is cool, but it's hard to toss that kind of cash around with so many strings attached...
Discovery is a thing. Big companies are more likely to catch these shenanigans, making it automatically a legit term, and also more likely to have retention policies where you can get it later in discovery.

You're right about smaller corps.

“What we’re really talking about [with] gut feelings is how people sense their internal milieu, which encompasses a multitude of different signals, coming from all over the place within the body,” says Sahib Khalsa, a neuroscientist at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Okla. “The brain is constantly sampling and receiving all these signals, even if you’re not consciously aware of that.”

A recent experiment in Prof. Khalsa’s lab found that such signals from the stomach activate regions of the brain that monitor arousal and motivate people to orient their attention. Such gut feelings—which scientists call interoception—can shape our decisions even when we believe we are relying on data and logic.
Yes and no? In such a situation their brain has high confidence in a bad world. If the world is actually bad, then that's not a malfunction, but among the strengths of the predictive hypothesis is that it allows the same explanation for the malfunctioning and normal cases.
Freshmeat was in that rotation for a very long time
Well the good news is, they open themselves up to lawsuits or adjudication by making false claims about the reason for firing someone. So we can just wait and see if those are forthcoming

Mars to Earth bandwidth is slower than your neighborhood IP.

" The data rate direct-to-Earth varies from about 500 bits per second to 32,000 bits per second (roughly half as fast as a standard home modem). The data rate to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is selected automatically and continuously during communications and can be as high as 2 million bits per second."

"lsyncd" is really good for efficient, continuous sync. If you have password-less, public-key SSH auth, lsyncd is a bless (using it for millions of files and folders and doing good)
Maybe this is just way too niche, but I've been wondering why there hasn't been any e-ink based laptops with a powerful enough of a processor (e.g. 10th/11th gen core i7 would be great) and ability to put enough RAM (e.g. 16GB) to run a development environment.

Something like that would be oh so light and great/easy to carry around. And something purely used for dev doesn't need to have the ability to play videos, etc. (that would just be distracting anyway, right? =)

I know there have been a few tablet/reader-based devices that use e-ink and have the ability to run Linux, but of the ones I've seen, none of them seem to have powerful enough of a CPU (and definitely not enough RAM).

Governments and central banks can and do make it a lot better by being able to print money and run social welfare programs off them, apart from taxation and other revenue. That's the reason that even gold producing countries have moved off the gold standard. Runaway deflation is as scary and catastrophic as runaway inflation seen in Zimbabwe.

She could of downloaded documents for an attorney or to search for the allegations Timnit was accused of. Google will of course phrase it as damningly as possible.

So once again, why assume Google has the moral high ground (in any way) in this firing or is being honest at all in it?
> If you actually want to handle errors (i.e. not use them only as a glorified die() function) the code gets really ugly

And conversely, if you do want a glorified die() function, you want a actual glorified die() function, not something that encourages the caller to 'recover', pick up your undefined, probably-corrupted data structures, and continue trying to use them.
See, that looks to me like naivete about the behaviour of the regulatory apparatus.

Ultimately, a civilisation runs on both rules and tools, and while we clearly have opposite biases about where the low-hanging fruit are, I think we also both know it's not really true that there are zero improvements to be made in either realm. I'd be happy to share my scepticism about attempts to reform the 'rules' side of the equation if you like, but my own interest is in tools.

Some tools allow a few players to dominate a limited number of niches, others allow many players to thrive in many niches. If you're going to be a toolmaker, trying to gain dominance and then keep the environment static is actually a self-limiting strategy, Nothing in nature or history has proven able to do that. The only time one player can dominate a limited number of niches is when there are few niches to begin with. Successfully dominating a niche actually gives more opportunities to create niches adjacent to one's own. Amazon carving out a niche in e-commerce is what allows it to provide services to authors and vendors.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

"A group persisted with shock tactics over the following years – including blocking the road linking the “Calais jungle” migrant camp to the city centre in 2016 and by infiltrating one of its members into the NGO SOS Méditerranée, which helps migrants in danger of death at sea, in 2018."

This NGO was involved in human trafficking and was caught.

The rest of the article is disgusting and just as false. There is a lie or white lie in every paragraph. It is just so despicable.

To my knowledge the idea that depression is a result of low serotonin has not been accepted by the scientific community at any time; immediately after SSRIs were shown to have an effect lots of people assumed that serotonin was important, but reuptake inhibition wouldn't even treat low levels overall, let alone matching the super weird timing effects.
