Point is that justifying and evaluating this is hard. Like really hard. It is especially hurtful to younger / less experienced people because if you have not been in the business for long, you don't know enough dynamics and factors and costs etc and you just might make the wrong decision.

It's all speculation (much like advertisement, I agree). But as much as we hate advertising industry because of their data collection practices and stuff, they do provide you a metric in return while this doesn't.

You changed your argument flavor like a neutrino, used a false dilemma and had it swim with red herring. Don't take this as a harsh judgement but as something to work on.

There are ways to solve this now with type systems, dependent type systems, affine type systems, session types, etc. That allow us to track and prove what pieces of data should be visible (for many definitions) to whom.

We also will not know the cost unless we start designing our systems rigorously. Think of it as an accounting problem, and economics problem and engineering is made of up primarily as the combination of economics and failure analysis.

We have the means and methods to solve these problems now, we should use them.
I got $15 bluetooth headphones from a r/buildapcsales post, everyone in the comments said it would sound like shit, but I've been using them for over a year and I couldn't be happier. it's got noise cancellation, battery lasts for close to a week with my heavy usage, and it's got really good quality. Maybe just to me, but I'm young, so my ears shouldn't be that degraded yet. But I have gotten pairs for my friends and family and they are all happy. Sure, they aren't XM4's, but they are literally $15, and I have gotten way more than that in value.

ugh yes, I wasted so much time on that overhyped piece of shit trying to see what was so great about it.

I slogged my way to early in the third story, and felt like I just did not give a single shit about anything that was going on in the story or the systems or anything. I put it down and never got back to it, never even bothered looking up the Real Final True Ending. Everything in the second runthrough that was supposed to be a SHOCKING REVELATION was something I'd suspected since, like, the first boss fight. Nothing in the third was suggesting it would be any different.
Aspects of this sound similar to Stellar and Ripple. Could folks with more knowledge elaborate on the differences?
> I've been in a position where my abilities vastly out stripped those of the rest of the team. I was insecurely seeking praise and adoration by fixing as many problems with the code as quickly as I could.

To paraphrase someone else, you "disrupted the gentle surface tension of the market" by working at a difference pace than everyone else.

The team can be slow, or fast, or whatever, but if you're incongruous you're gonna have a bad time...
The issue is that Electron and SDL will fix this 10 years later, old apps will still not work.

Same issue with tray icons, GNOME is expecting cross platform apps will use their shirty design OR their users will use only new GNOME apps.

>You could also say that SSD would mean that Mutter needs to do extra work just to satisfy an application designer ego

Is better that say all the 10 WM implement SSD (maybe as a fallback for old or non native apps) rather then force all toolkits and old apps have to implement this how they think (won't you get apps that will look like XP or OSX because you forced the app to paint the buttons). As a developer myself feels rather stupid not to just provide the SSD for old apps , really feels like "let's make this old and non native apps look and work like shit so people use my cool design.

But I could see an argument that GNOME devs are not that competent though, they implemented a shell that will kill all your apps if there is an error in an exception(on wayland)... so incompetence could explain why they are not capable to provide both SSD and CSD too.,

Considering it got xdg prefix and was included in wayland-protocols that should be as standard as it gets. Weston is barebones "reference" compositor. It's not for normal use. Mir is dead. The xdg-decoration is based on KDE's own protocol, it was later refined and pushed to wayland-protocols by wlroots devs. Now kde uses the xdg-decoration too.

>Every compositor library I've looked at also considers this optional

Because that's the point of it. If compositor doesn't implement it, application would have to fallback to CSD (however very inconvenient for many apps, or users who suddenly will not see a decoration due to purely _technical reasons_), and even when it's implemented, application have to explicitly ask for compositor to decorate the window.
"To our surprise" is an adverbial. It has no voice. It can modify passive or active constructions, but it does not prefer one over the other.

Passive: To our surprise, the door had been left open.
Of the data that I've seen, adtech has about as much legitimacy in claiming they "might" save lives as the TSA does.[1] The last year the TSA released the stats on their Red Team tests, they failed to detect 95% of threats. Some of the threats that made it through were fully assembled handguns, fully assembled bombs, and partially disassembled versions of both. As many have pointed out, the TSA is largely security theater. It makes people feel better that we're doing something, and apparently the greater the intrusion on privacy, the more secure people feel.

This is in a way similar to the engineering to marketing ratio with technology companies. Many lean hard on clever engineering and end up failing. Early on marketing is essential to communicate successfully with potential customers in order to solve the problem of who is going to buy the damned thing. Without a path to sales what you end up with is like sports car with a fabulous engine and no wheels. No matter how clever or useful the idea, it will only spread and become successful with social propagation.

My question was: If we prefer not to use the word 'passive' to describe this difference, what should it be called instead?
> How did the population in general become acclimatised to other things we now see as immoral[0]?

Pretty much all of our examples in that list of things have direct human victims. Its far easier to get people to realize things are immoral when there are direct human victims. Eating meat usually doesn't have direct human victims, so it is harder to get most people to agree its immoral.
It's abundantly clear that there aren't incredible opportunities on the second, third, fourth rung of society, speaking as someone that "lost" all of the meritocracy games. We get the message from everyone that we clearly do not matter.

For the record, I don't know how the average Yale graduate is "advancing our species" more than the average UMBC or UNC Wilmington graduate.
this is fascinating. Rogin is making the claim right before your eyes and your conclusion is that he doesn't mean it because he never printed it?
But the article explains why no data actually leads credence to the lab-escape hypothesis.

For SARS and MERS we had data within months.

We don't have data on animals because it was a lab-escape event.

The claim that lab workers got flu-like symptoms in late 2019 blew my mind.

I wish I had time to investigate myself, but I'm 90% convinced that the reporter is correct and this is a lab-escape event.

This is similar to my belief as to why modern American politics is the way it is. It's so much left vs right, red vs blue, etc.

During the cold war, we had a common enemy in communism. Sure there were disagreements, arguments, fights, but at the end of the day, most everyone could agree that we had to stand up for America.

Now those common enemies aren't such a threat, so we look across the aisle for our enemy.

It used to be "we just have different visions for America but we all want to succeed" and now it's "OMG you are trampling my right to ___________ you Nazi!".

Your comment says all this much better than I ever could, though.
No, the alternative is to not to keep breeding farm animals in the billions, which is a major cause for natural habitat loss [0].

Instead have more R&D into creating meat like substances that doesn't require to kill an animal and doesn't require such a huge carbon footprint - and we are getting there slowly.

And that's the mission of Ethan Brown (Beyond Meat founder) - he said you won't be able to change the culture of meat eating, but if you offer people something that's as good or better and cheaper then people will switch.

Again, the main question really is why inflict pain and kill an animal if you don't need to?

We are not hunter gatherers anymore.

The above comment excludes people who still need to eat meat to survive.

The “Uber for …” came to mean any kind of service that you get by pressing a button on your phone. Hence the overuse. It’s just a startup trope now.
This is good to see hard evidence of a scam that has for many years been obvious to anyone who bothered to look -- Amazon reviews in any non-obscure category have been fake for years, and there are multiple startups/services working to mitigate it, e.g., Fakespot [1], which are definitely helpful.

Now we get to see if Amazon is actually just really bad at filtering a bad problem, or really just DGAF as long as the fraud drives sales and commissions.

What we should see is wholesale delisting, banning, and prosecution of vendors, and banning and selected prosecution of fakers. What will we actually see?

I'd think Amazon would care when people abandon them because it is just too hard to find anything real, but the level of fraud on there indicates that Amazon prioritizes other metrics. When a few figure it out, it doesn't hit the traffic & sales numbers much. When many figure it out, it is likely too late. Did Bezos exit while the exiting was still good?

Ask HN: Privacy-focused or useless analytics tools?
The number of privacy-focused analytics tools is ever-growing. And the perfect balance between freshness and promoted evilness of legacy tools is appealing.
Rightfully, all of them try to mitigate identity to promote privacy. And while it makes sense, at first sight, questions arise around the usefulness of the resulting statistics.

What is a visitor in a privacy-focused analytics tool? Can we have a returning visitor when it is not tied to identity over time and across visits? How can we even interpret these numbers?

Let's summarize the ladder of identity on the web:
Logged in user > Persistent identity (e.g. cookie) > Ephemeral identity (e.g. 24h hash) > no identity.

Privacy-focused tools seem to provide the last ones while promoting the same advantage as the first ones! Coolness over effectiveness?

What's all the fuss really about?

It's worth noting that the question is not about all the different kinds of statistics these tools can provide without relying on a cookie but about the legitimacy and the relevance of the visitors' related statistics (e.g., new, returning, etc.).
I haven't had exposure to this space since the GDPR went into effect, but it used to be trivially easy to do this. A quick Googling shows there are still providers of this sort of service, such as GetEmails[1] which bills itself as '100% compliant in the US'.

Sure, and the anti-regulation or anti-tax guys still demand that police protect their money and goods - so I can't understand when the anti-regulation fanatic is saying that free market will eventually solve this , transparency is too much of a burden or danger.

I can’t really tell if they’re just dropping older SPARC systems or the architecture altogther.

OpenBSD will eventually face the same issues with older systems, and I believe they already dropped platforms because hardware couldn’t be replaced.

For newer SPARC system you could “just” buy one. Oracle doesn’t need to donate them, it would be nice if they did, but the community around Illumos, Debian and OpenBSD could raise money to buy theses systems.
That link doesn’t support your claim.
It's extremely depressing. I really don't feel like I have much hope knowing I'll never be able to achieve anything because of who I was when I was in high school - it's even worse because I knew what I wanted in high school (Siemens, high school research, etc), but had no idea how to accomplish it.

> If universities want government funding they must admit classes that accurately represent the socioeconomic conditions of the wider population. 1% of the class can be in the top 1% of the income bracket.

That's insane. They are in the top 1% because of being smarter and because of hard work (especially in the US, where they are more likely to have made their wealth on their own than inherited it). Their children are likely to inherit some of these traits. Limiting the number of smart & hard working kids in universities will lead to a dumber nation.
I'd love to see some negative growth there.

The whole platform is a joke. I wish people started founding their own new small communities again instead of going for a subreddit.
Yeah, they should have found a stronger con man.
> Apple is disrupting whole economy for apps.

Not at all. Facebook can simply require you to enable tracking in order to use Facebook.
100% agree. And I apologize for insinuating that you were trying to grab the high ground. That was probably a cheap shot.

The larger point is that it's easy to judge the past and make sweeping condemnations. I see that in wanting to condemn the West due to it's past. But surely people will condemn us as well for things we know are wrong, but we do anyway. At least I keep doing them. I like my iPhone. I like cheap electronics. I like affordable clothing. And behind all of that is some pretty egregious stuff. Where does that leave me in history?

Really sad to see that almost all comments here immediately turn to "victim blaming" and mention that this is a story about the need for backups, and not the story of hardware manufacturers removing the rights of consumers.

And while the RTR laws would have helped here, let's remember there's only one thing we can do in the meantime to put pressure on these companies: don't buy hostile hardware in the first place.

Nobody's perfect. I use an iPhone and I just bought a watch from them. But I think it's equally true that you should be able to keep two thoughts in your head at once: even when buying Apple hardware because you're more or less forced to (or really want to), keep talking about how this is unacceptable and lobby every lawmaker you can. It's not cool.

Tesla tells regulator that full self-driving may not be achieved by year-end
I'd be incredibly surprised if mobile power management did not account for the difference between "blitting array of 2D pixels" and "running massively parallel shader". Even if not done for energy conservation, it might be for TDP profile.

Separately, it's long been a thing on Nvidia Optimus laptops where the most inexplicable thing could cause the iGPU to be swapped out for the power-hungry discrete GPU. A GL-powered terminal definitely seems like it could be in that territory.

In short, many reasons it could be less efficient, hence the question, is there any evidence that it /is/ less efficient?
The code you are showing does a lot more than MV:

- it's portable accross OSes (and keep flags if the OS supports it, deal with encoding, etc)

- it ensures selinux context is saved if there is such a thing

- it has proper and rich error communication with the calling code

- it's includes documentation and comments

- it outputs json par parsing and storage

No to say "mv" is not awesome, because it is. There is much more boiler plate in python, and is why I'll often do subprocess.check_call(['mv', 'src', 'dst']) if my script is linux only.

But you are pushing it
Again this particular cultural problem was resolved a long time. Ubuntu and XFCE and GNOME have since all aligned on this matter. I see what you are trying to illustrate, maybe it was true 10 years ago, but it's not now. Cultures can change you know.
