I wonder how much of this is caused by the interplay between Apple and Goldman Sachs complicating things. Normally when I deal with Apple support it's relatively smooth. Just today I worked through an issue that required patiently responding to the scripted Q&A with a first-line tech, who escalated me to a tier 2 tech that very much knew what he was doing. Ultimately he was as baffled as I was about what was broken, but we were able to find a workaround that fixed it even so. But he was very knowledgeable, very courteous, and I was actually pretty impressed by the whole experience. But no third-party support had to be involved, nor anything to do with the presumably highly regulated financial industry, and maybe that's a key difference.

If you’re trying to tell me what I believe, you’re wrong. By the way, I’m a pastor.

If you’re trying to tell me what Muslims believe, you’re also wrong.

Saying that Jesus is the Son of God is very different from saying that He is a prophet of God. That difference is precisely why Muslims cannot agree that Jesus is the Son of God and why I cannot agree that Muhammad is a prophet of God.

I agree, in hospitality you see a lot of passionate chefs, most burn out due to working insane hours as they are passionate about: that dish, that prep, that service, that function, covering and ensuring that service runs when the shift is short.

I left for teaching English, and I see the same thing. Every advert wants someone passionate, and then once they are in oh we need this covered, this extra work 'think of the children' style, and the same burn out occurs.

I'm passionate about one particular sub-sect of software, but I've learnt my lesson. I most certainly won't get a job doing it. I'll continue to tinker in my free time, and keep it for myself.

> Honestly, when Brave makes the kind of claims that they do, an oversight like this is inexcusable.

The claim was never about absolute privacy but rather as strong as default as possible while keeping the web functional. And in that department they are delivering more than any alternative - more than even Firefox out of the box. Not to mention that TFA itself states that the implementation was far from ideal.

Anyway, the biggest question I have for those that are so quick to criticize Brave is "what else do we have with a business model that can disrupt Surveillance Capitalism?". Apple could if they wanted, but where is Safari for Windows/Linux? Any of the others? Doubtful. Even Mozilla's dependency on ad revenue from Google makes them less credible. So why shit on Brave when there is absolutely zero potential alternatives?

The parent mentioned "kids these days" and also "It's funny to watch, a lot of these have seen before and will again.".

Whether Socrates actually said this (or some other famous or not so famous guy from over 2000 years ago), it does show that that assessment is probably very very correct. And very funny to read indeed. Even if you don't agree with all of the parts of the statement (I don't) you will most probably find some you'd agree with. YMMV if you don't have kids :)

I'm looking at integrating IPFS with sandstorm (sandstorm.io). The sandstorm (and other homelab/homeserver) community have an interest in self-hosting. IPFS allows people that are interested in seeing something stored to pin it themselves. But yes: bundling IPFS with the app is pretty much what would need to happen.

As they are now, neither the IPFS ecosystem or sandstorm are really decentralized -- or maybe I should be more precise: not decentralized in a resilient way. Yet, I think both are great technologies that enable some interesting things.

I'm not as interested in the blockchain notion of decentralized though. I'm looking for resiliency to severe netsplits. As a thought experiment, if Earth crosses a coronal mass ejection event and our power and communication grids go down, would we be able stitch things back together again when our grid fractures?

This is why we have always had consumer regulation. Note the relative difference in power here. In the short to medium term apple can do whatever they like and the customer can get stuffed. In the longer term we have regulation so the the strongest might not always get their way.

It's yet another kind of bait and switch. Bait you with good service then switch to behavior that would be considered abusive inside any bricks and mortar shop anywhere in the world.

Apple aren't your friend. They'll show you this whenever it suits them. If you have feelings other than suspicion and dread about Apple (or any other big tech company) you need to address those because you're having your basic human responses of being kind and decent hacked by highly paid and trained professionals.

"I don't like Apple but some of their products are better than the competition" Is the absolute best they should ever get from your emotions.
The author isn’t complaining about the disabling of their account per se but how it’s being handled to the customer and the recovery process. You can disable, but you better give me plenty of notice and head ups with correct information and a easy way to contact back. Not wasting time and giving the customer the run around. Imagine your car got towed and your house got reclaimed by the bank and yet not being able to call your bank directly and you have to ask around and find some email which you don’t know if it’s working and it takes days to reply. Not cool when we are talking about money and account disabling here.

I think we already have a culture that exaggerates this aspect. Tried-but-failed stories do not sell very well. Not everyone can be successful and pretending this is case makes people that feeling left out blame them self (or maybe immigrants). I am not advocating a "entirely random" view, just a more nuanced and perhaps more realistic one. Also, I do not think humans will ever stop struggling to achieve things in life, even if we had a society where success where attributed to pure luck.

(Perhaps we should define "success" in this conversation)

The problem is physics can't even distinguish whether light travels instantaneously in direction x, but at c/2 going in the opposite direction. There is no known way to synchronize clocks or come up with a clever apparatus to prove that light moves at the same speed in every direction.

You need to make some strong assumptions in order to try and measure asymmetrical latency on a network. I believe the method you are proposing is to measure RTT when RTT differs depending on the starting node. The difficult problem is determining how much of your RTT time comes from node A to node B as opposed to node B to node A. I believe you need to at least have some sort of oracle on both sides which can synchronize time without using the network path you are trying to measure (I think you can do this if you have node C which both A and B have a fast connection to relative to each other, this implies that the delay between A and B is significantly longer than the speed of light delay).
I'm on board with not allowing paste into a confirmation field since you might have copied the wrong number so there's nothing to gain from confirming the same mistake.

As a pure exercise and assume 5-10 year investment horizon. I would pick:

MSFT, TSLA, AMD/NVDA (any semi-conductor/chip makers), DIS, JNJ

Reason:
* MSFT will win the cloud war.
* TSLA doesn't even have real competitors. If Elon somehow merge TSLA and SpaceX, then it'll be the next multi-trillion dollar company
* DIS, its content vault will be a force in streaming. I don't see how netflix can beat them.
* JNJ, it's Johnson & Johnson.
* AMD is the only one I have doubts. I think semiconductor/chips business will see a whole new demand in different industries. Whether AMD is capable of capturing that market is up in the air, but INTL definitely showed it lost its ways.

> That’s a nice thought but clearly doesn’t work in practice.

It doesn't work if there is regulatory capture. But if the government is captured then you can't have your tax either, so then what are you proposing as a solution?

Google and Oracle are familiar with each other. Apple and Intel are familiar with each other. Amazon and Netflix are familiar with each other.

> You don’t think a unavoidable tax that goes into smaller companies won’t hurt monopolies?

If they can keep abusing their monopolies to prevent there from being any competitors? There still won't be any competitors.

In the US, even before the 2008 the percentage poverty rate was higher than the 1970's. It was about to come down lower than the 1970's just before the pandemic hit. After the pandemic I presume we will be back to worse than the 1970's rate. But the poverty rate measure has been flat or worse for 50 years.

However, even though the overall rates were returning to flat before the pandemic - the percent of people below 50% of the poverty line in the US has been historically higher by 50% than it has been in history since the beginning of the measure.

If you're an HN reader, you have to realize that for the most part you are in an incredibly fortunate bubble of being in a job that is in demand in a financially supported sector of our economy - it is not that way for many Americans (or many other citizens of other nations).
The real scary truth is that people probably don't care as much about you as you might think they do. The way you frame the problem, assigning envy of your success to acquaintances by default, worrying about negative attention, reiterating how hard you've worked, leads me to believe that self-importance might be the underlying issue that saps your enjoyment of life. I say this not as a personal attack, but as a cautionary observation.

I know it's hard to deal with a fear just with rational discourse. But if you have a good salary and work in tech, you are probably getting more out of the dystopia than the dystopia is getting out of you. So just learn to enjoy life without worrying about hypothetical events that remain statistically unlikely even by the most conservative estimation in a world of billions. Anything else is self-indulgent.

That case was confusing because he was talking about the Chinese word in English, so it really sounded like he was referencing the English derogatory term. My guess is that most of the people who complained didn't even bother to try and understand what he was actually saying, so this arguably did involve some sort of 'magical' thinking on their part.

> That's one aspect of it, but from another perspective, this is a simple power play.

I would characterize it more as a threat display with collateral damage. A power play implies that the thing you're using the power play on is the direct goal, but here it's more a signal to show that anyone can be taken down. Sort of like when the overlord kills a randomly chosen subjugant to send a message.

I do think there is an aspect of this to it, yes. I don't personally attribute any large scale organized (organized who?) intention behind. More that the emergent properties of our culture have left this new shiny machine gun laying on the floor and some people, for various reasons, are firing off a couple of shots.

We're living in a tumultuous time where power structures are changing. That tends to temporarily leave a lot of destructive toys around and people are going to scrabble for them and do a lot of harm before things settle back down. I hope that when they do we find that the power in the US has been distributed more equitably than it has in the past.
> If you’re trying to tell me what I believe, you’re wrong. By the way, I’m a pastor.

I don't dispute that's what you believe, but it isn't the position of all Christians.

The Catholic Church is quite explicit about its belief that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. It has expressed that belief in the decree Nostra aetate of the Second Vatican Council, and numerous other Vatican documents since. And the Catholic Church is not alone among Christians in this belief.

I think there is a real disagreement among Christians as to whether the God of Islam is a (somewhat distorted) account of the God of Christianity (the official Catholic position, but certainly some Protestants agree with it too), or whether it is a completely different entity (the position of yourself among others).

I think from the Muslim point of view – the Islamic designation of Christians as "People of the Book" only makes sense if Muslims believe that Christians worship the same God as they do, even if wrongly and confusedly.

I don't have any personal experiences with homeless people, but my understanding is that the vast majority of the homeless suffer from serious mental illness / addiction.

> how much of that reliability do we need?

There are two guiding clues for that. One is to look at https://www.electricitymap.org/ranking and see how Germany is doing. One can derive the weather based on how brown the color is.

The second clue is energy prices swings more heavier as a country replaces nuclear with renewable. Heavy energy using industries can't double production when prices shrink by 50%, but they will stop production when costs exceed profits. This is already happening in Sweden when prices jumped by +70% this winter. It will be interesting to see what happens when the steel industry is becoming even more dependent on energy prices and will have to stop for weeks during the winter, and the effect that will have on employment contracts.
Alternately: User-agents changing the behavior of well-written sites without user knowledge is almost always a bad thing.

Giving the user more control is great: things like reader mode, option to disable auto-play video or options to kill resource-intensive scripts. This isn't a tool for the user, it is the browser's behavior whether the user wants it or not.

If autocomplete=off is user-hostile, then it should be changed in the spec. The spec gives a few use cases (site has its own autocomplete, field is sensitive information that shouldn't be cached, field is a one-time key). If autocomplete=off is removed, how would those cases be handled?

AMD doesn't even have the performance crown, by a long shot. NVIDIA did hold that pretty much non-stop since... Maxwell 2?

As of no difference in compute workloads, I can put Blender as an example: https://techgage.com/article/blender-2-91-best-cpus-gpus-for...

(6900 XT is 20.6 TFLOPS FP32, RTX 3090 is 35.6 TFLOPS FP32 _and_ also has the tensor cores, AMD can't win there because of sheer brute force)

And AMD's software stack removes them from consideration for a huge extent of compute workloads. If they aren't ready to have a proper one, it doesn't matter how good how much their hardware is good or not, it might as well be a brick.
