If one is in doubt of FreeBSD then I don't think this is the most compelling article on the topic. However I do strongly recommend FreeBSD to anyone curious as to what an "alternative Linux" (for want a better description) might look like. By this I mean FreeBSD is one one of the most accessible UNIXes out there (ignoring Darwin for a moment) and it supports a fair amount of GNU-isms that long time Linux users would have become accustomed too.

For me, native ZFS support is FreeBSD's killer feature. It's had containerisation (called "jails") long before Linux knew it was a thing and combining those jails with ZFS gave you several of convenience features that VMs and/or Docker offered but 10+ years ago before Docker was a thing. And yes, I know some Linux distributions support ZFS in an official capacity but having used them and FreeBSD, ZFS support on FreeBSD is easily light years ahead of Linux. It's hard to substantiate why other than saying all of those minor niggles you have with Linux+ZFS simply doesn't exist with FreeBSD+ZFS. On FreeBSD, using ZFS feels as native as using the ext4 on Linux.

It's a great shame that the industry has monopolised on Linux because FreeBSD brought, and continues to bring, a lot to the table.

Well that's macabre. I really don't think that grinding to an emotional halt is a natural consequence of attentiveness. It's the opposite, if anything.
W3W is an amazingly cool idea... on the surface. Once you scratch that surface, it has lots of issues, ranging from inconveniences to critical. The HN crowd is likelier to dig into a cool idea like this and surface a few problems. All it takes is adding hype to a couple of semi-serious issues to rub a certain type of hacker the wrong way, which leads to more digging, which leads to more problems being found, and it spirals from there.

OK, but the corollary to this is that there are a fair few people sitting around doing not a lot on the taxpayer's dime.

I am not from the USA and I read the article to understand a bit more how unemployment benefits work in the US.

I find the title misleading, it's the pandemic $300 per week additional benefit that gets suspended not the whole unemployment benefits people looking for a job are entitled to (Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program).

Correct me if I am wrong.

Now, is the situation back to normal enough to justify it, should those unemployment benefits stay the same, etc. those are all important questions.
I dunno why I always thought for some reason LiveLeak is Russian only today discovering it's British?

It's shame what's happening, first they take down WatchPeopleDie (honestly Rotten and Ogrish were way long time ago), now LiveLeak, it's shame you are not allowed to see uncensored content anymore, I used to be regular visitor of WPD also for discussions, one could learn lot of useful stuff what to do in dangerous situations or how to avoid them.

Show HN: I wrote a book about working in a security team
After years working security at FAANGs, me and a friend decided to summarize our lessons learned in a short handbook. A lot of it is about how to deal with security in a larger company, and the kind of mentality and tricks you need to have to operate against the grain.

There is no free market anywhere, ever. There are only interest groups and power relationships between them, leveraged by various political traditions, one of which includes a very specific kind of relationship we call "money".

The concept of a "free market" belongs with Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. It's not something a rational adult should ever admit to believing in.

Remember this next time the financial industry demands a bail-out or a major military project goes ridiculously over budget, and everyone pretends to be shocked and surprised.

Basic income would allow for people to focus on their own health and take work when they want to do something.

Part of technological and societal progress is that we don’t use the threat of starvation for people to better for themselves. We have enough money to bring up the bottom economic class and still let the top have their private cruise ships.
OECD defines a "healthy full employment" rate to be 4-6% unemployment, so the labour pool is unhealthily low already.
It's the same thing with climate change. A lot of people still don't understand how bad it actually is.
While you probably won't hear free-speech advocates shouting nearly as loudly for this as for view-point-diversity (ahem)... there is some legitimate concern that this content is often legal.

And more than that... it was often news-worthy. The kind of stuff on that site included war crimes, murders, armed robbery, reckless disregard for the safety of others, accidents caused by poor city maintenance...

You may not like the videos, but the things that they captured will happen whether the videos exist or not. And while I wouldn't recommend that anyone make a habit of watching something on LiveLeak, it was still a resource that had educational possibilities.

Like you said: most of the world is a great place. And I think most people, upon seeing violent content like that, would become deeper advocates for peace and safety. It's hard to be a big tough guy who thinks he's rambo when you see how meaningless your life is against a bullet.
Over the phone, even “F” and “S” are confusable. The what3words list is too long and has too many uncommon words to be reliably used on phone-calls. And in that case, what's even the point?
>yearly new coin caps are pretty controlled with a decreasing inflation rate that will reach zero eventually.

So there are ~130 billion Doge in circulation, what is the max possible supply and who is setting that supply cap?

My understanding is there is no supply cap and will never be a supply cap just like ETH, which means Doge can be devalued right into the dirt. This sounds like an extremely bad store of value to anyone that has studied what makes hard money.

I expect a lot of people will be burned when this great example of bad money unravels....
That doesn’t seem plausible at all since the deletion of this page will direct more attention at this topic than just keeping it up.

I’m completely certain that there is some completely harmless explanation to this and I wouldn’t read anything at all into this (except that this post is very old and not a part of their website where they pay excessive attention as to whether old stuff is still up).
There's not a lot of big, profitable business in Montana (in fact apparently the largest company in the state has about 10k employees). What you're talking about is monopsony power which yes, can depress wages, but as the article points out Montana has an unemployment rate of 3.8 percent and every sector has labour shortages. It's a tight, competitive labour market, not a loose one.

There is no magic here. If everyone charges more and pays more you have, on aggregate, gained nothing. That's the point, if merely raising nominal wages would make everyone better off we'd have a magic button to solve poverty.

Apple is the origin of the modern mobile web. And you can publish a web app on the App Store if you want, and many do that. The rest is very much a matter of philosophy and design that goes well beyond "Apple wants to push the App Store".

The reason why Thoughts on Flash was removed is that... Flash literally doesn't exist anymore. It's not like the text is not preserved historically all over the web. I have a PDF of it even somewhere on my drive.

Maybe. From a few decades in the industry in and around security, I have no faith in assuming that a serious vulnerability triggers any kind of change in the culture that led to it.

Then it means your working business model relies on VC money or government subsidies. Founders can take the cut but not the employers who don't benefit from it. Isn't the buck supposed to be passed down to the customers, not the workers ?
> or you harm people out of the office

Some people work half time, should we all not socially interact during their absence, because it would disadvantage them as well?

The enemy of better is best, and I feel you are actually making a case against home working by being so extreme in your demands. Some people would like to work from home, understanding it adds a social challenge, but still prefer it for a myriad of reasons.

And some people need to be in an office to be productive. I think it's a nobler goal to try cater to both, than set up some extreme all or nothing scenario.

The solution seems to be to force people back into the shitty jobs by threatening them with starvation rather than improving conditions.

Much has been said about how much of a dead end this jobs are but I’d like to reiterate how incredibly difficult it is when you have no time to improve your lot in life. There’s so many statistics about how poverty and poverty jobs are a trap that most never escape in the US compared to other developed countries.
The difference is not only the scale of things but especially that a war is caused by people, on purpose, too often with the consent of their population.

As a non-native English user, I recently set my default browser back from DuckDuckGo to Google after the un-satisfied experiences with the former one.

The reason is that, Google can support my quick checks about English usage that can be minor to native users, such as

"as a result" vs "as the result"

or

"looking for the X factor" (I feel like I can write this phrase but not quite sure I understand what X factor really is or if there is anyone really using this term)

or

"someone advocating for implementing" (I want to use this phrase to indicate some colleague but I want to know if saying this is natural enough (or has more search results))

Silly but I do rely on Google to do this for me. Sometimes I feel guilty about this because I know these search requests costs energy and increase carbon emission.

DuckDuckGo is nowhere near the performance of Google for this. Also, it frequently returns NSFW websites at the first result page.

I was reading yesterday about how "Old Reddit" is often used by a tiny proportion of users (~5%) and the vast majority of users are using a mobile app to access it.

This varies by subreddit, of course, but anything with mainstream appeal is likely to have most users on mobile web or an app.
Is it measured the same way though?

Unemployment is currently more than paying my mortgage in California.
I think the question is less, is it accurate, and more do we know how inaccurate it is?

Inaccurate models csn still be useful as long as have an idea of how inaccurate they are in the worst case. If we have no idea how accurate something is, we can't tell if its sufficient for its purpose.
The logic is a bit misleading, because you implicitly assume that goods and services should be as cheap as possible, while rents and real estate prices are rising to all time highs.

If rents were lower, and goods and services were more expensive, then many people would earn more (since many low paying jobs are in retail and personal services). And it would be a lot easier to lower living expenses by just consuming less.

You make the bold assumption managers are aware of the Streisand effect when they're about to trigger it. So far reality has shown even management in IT companies falls for this every time.
{Free/Net/Open}BSD DOCUMENTATION Rocks!

Not just the online documentation, but there are really good offline (books) documenting the BSD stack.

Back in 1998 I chosed BSD (openBSD) for my thesis just because there was _a lot_ of reliable information about internals, how to develop, etc.

For Linux the documentation wasn't as good, and had to search too much online for internals, also and it was a moving target and I was afraid of working on top of something that might change while I was working on my project.

Now you can get a lot of information about linux just googling; but if you're offline you can get great *BSD documentation.
"Slid into their DMs"... Arrrgh!

On and Off I try with Twitter, but it just doesn't work for me. I would delete my account, but there's so many companies and services who are only accessible via their Twitter accounts, that without an ability to message them, you can't raise an issue.

As an interesting (well, to me) side note, a few months ago I migrated away from being 'Jaruzel' on many sites to 'MattOwen_UK'. Within 24 hours of switching my account name on Twitter, someone else had grabbed @jaruzel. I was surprised at the speed that happened.

Wow. I wasn't aware that Steve Jobs wrote essays. Are there more?

I think this part is interesting, because it's still true:

> Our motivation is simple – we want to provide the most advanced and innovative platform to our developers, and we want them to stand directly on the shoulders of this platform and create the best apps the world has ever seen. We want to continually enhance the platform so developers can create even more amazing, powerful, fun and useful applications. Everyone wins – we sell more devices because we have the best apps, developers reach a wider and wider audience and customer base, and users are continually delighted by the best and broadest selection of apps on any platform.
I said it was buzzword bingo to me. Nothing about that is condescending. I clearly and explicitly painted myself as a layperson before asking a basic question, further indicating that yes, I'm a layperson and no, I'm not trying to be condescending.
It reminds me a little of a story I read about Alcoa, the Aluminium manufacturer.

They had been have issues with improving productivity. One of the issues was the workforce and unions were reluctant to accept any change.

New management came in and rather than pressing on productivity issues they decided to double down on safety. They hadn't been particularly bad but not great either.

Obviously staff and unions are never going to complain about making their workplace safer. What also happened was as soon as process were open to change to improve safety they were also open to change for productivity.

I wonder in cases like yours whether the pandemic just unstuck a lot of things because all the previous excuses floated away as soon as someone says "because covid".
YouTube, NetNinja had great courses that are real easy to follow.

My intuition is that the answer is "uhh, no." -- is there any secure way to run untrusted javascript on a page? So that we could have those awesome newgrounds style wildwest galleries where people upload their weirdsies again. I've seen some synthetic namespace shenanigans that I've had a hard time breaking out of, but nothing that makes me comfortable.

I know Flash never had a reputation for.. security, but Youtube-for-html5 games seems like it could never exist for my intuition. I'm sure you could get away with it on small scales, but anything beyond a person's ability to curate and we go backwards.
Sure you can. You can build up a tolerance, but most people are not mentally prepared to confront graphic violence.

It takes months of hard training for soldiers to be prepared for confronting death. How is a school teacher going to feel after watching a video of a school shooting? Probably not very safe all of a sudden, and that could have long lasting scars even if it wasn't something they personally experienced.

Edit: And while I agree, LiveLeak was a source of truth for news stories, it also was a fetishization for some people. I think in order to truly tackle the legacy of liveleak, we can't ignore that some people watch gore for the gore and not because they want to be more informed citizens. I don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we must confront that reality too.
Which proposal is that? The ones about putting more taxes on people making over $400,000 a year?
This will come in handy during DFIR, although we have different workflows for doing live analysis on machines for now.

We used to watch the stuff on Ogrish back in the day,when we were teenagers. I couldn't say it desensitized me but made me realise I can't do shit about it. When one side of the planet is launching rockets to space and the other throwing stones on people because they looked at someone, there's no fixing of this only slow, agonising passing of time,with the hopes that it will eventually improve as people will be less and less willing to do certain things.

It also made me realised,how we, people in the Western world,are insulated from many horrors of this world both directly and indirectly by the lack of coverage on them.
The essay rather suggests HTML5 as a better alternative to Flash for web development, not app development. Having said that, I haven't read the latest PWA situation on Apple platforms, maybe it is true that they are trying to prevent PWA from getting popular. If that is the case, I hope Google and Microsoft can take advantage of this shortcoming of Apple platforms.
Adobe’s then-CTO Kevin Lynch was a staunch defender of Flash and argued here that Apple's approach to platforms was anti-competitive: https://youtu.be/Z512TwwyRWM. Years later he lead the original Apple Watch software project, and still does to this day.
So fixed right?
To me it was, of course everyone is free to see it their own way.

Every social network seems to evolve along the same lines. It starts with a clear concept of what it is, it gets popular based on it, then it starts getting lots of people, and lots of features, becomes a mess, so the timeline gets algorithmic, and suddenly all that's left of the original service is bunch of random noise from random people on your home page/app when you open it, but you keep doing it out of inertia.

Twitter was revolutionary because you DIDN'T have to read someone's long thought on whatever subject. Instead they were forced to keep it short.

You know the saying "I didn't have time to write a short letter so I wrote a long one"? It's funny, but it's true. It's very easy to spew garbage. Being succinct takes time.
I just mean that they're saying "no" to the slightest thing. And, really, they have to do that for time purposes. It's just kind of shocking how selective they can be and still be successful.
> The reason why Thoughts on Flash was removed is that... Flash literally doesn't exist anymore.

Please explain how that alone is a reason to make the richest corporation on the planet go through their whole online presence and remove a few kB of redundant text.

Nobody does that just because it's not needed anymore, it's more expensive to pay an employee for deleting this than just keeping it up for another decade. It's very obvious Apple wants to hide the fact Steve Jobs would disagree with their current way of doing things and fell for the Streisand effect as everyone does.
The target group has changed.

Back in the day it was better for the geeks. They don't care about all that extra crap as much. But they do care about a simple API they can start hacking with and just drop a status line.

But today it's used by governments, election campaigns and presidents for important PR communication. And by grandma at home. They need those features and don't care about simplicity.

Target groups change as you grow. And that's also why often times original founders and engineers leave because it's not anymore the thing they signed up for. But they get replaced by other people.
