Isn't the point here, though, that the shady people reach out to try and buy control of non-shady extensions? How would you know whether or not your previously non-shady extension is now shady?
The difference is the "terms of service" on these things...something many, including many here, don't even bother reading. Apple specifically states they don't collect your data..which is why when there are times people find out that they have (like the time they were caught having real people listen in to Siri requests to see if they were accurate), all hell broke loose and there are several lawsuits about that very thing against Apple.

Google says right up front, right in the open "hey, we're gonna look over your shoulder at EVERYTHING you do with your phone. Go ahead and switch off all those placebo buttons on the "privacy" tabs, but we'll still glean telemetry from you". Ok, they don't use those exact words, but they do state that's what they do. But even then, it's not enough for them so they dig more and more and more.

Apple gets their feet held to the flames all the time, especially now that they're leaning into the privacy. Will the convince anyone here? I doubt it. Everyone here are "experts" and they're not gonna let Apple fool them! No-sir-re!
Cars are isolated? On a regular basis I drive 5 different cars, various makers, I can hear a Harley just fine in either.

And from every parked car where a driver has a conversation on speakers I can hear it so well they might as well have had it outside of their car. New Teslas, BMWs.

Saatva mattress. (Very good)

Nest bedding pillows (shredded memory foam). (Best) It is also specifically made for side and back sleepers like myself. (is cut out a bit in the middle)

Sheets vary (we have multiples). But usually what the wirecutter recommends.

Duvet from Costco - I think. Cover is from IKEA and is like $20 or so.

I also use a cotton blanket for myself but not everyone likes those. My partner loves duvets.

It works really well. We’ve never experienced a single bed that is better than ours.
Sometimes you might want to reply to another comment, rather than to the article itself.

Another possibility is maybe the article won't load but you might have something to write anyways, in which case reading the article first won't do.

I know, because both of these thing sometimes apply to me, and probably others too.

> Fiber is only reasonably inexpensive in dense urban areas.

In dense urban areas it is expensive to retrofit a network. You have to maintain the existing while you run the new, won't have a lot of space, any digging or new poles is expensive as there is a lot of infrastructure in your way, salaries are much higher, etc. Europe is a good example of this. DSL remained in most areas because dense urban areas are expensive to convert.

In less dense (sub-urban) areas, fiber has much lower ongoing maintenance costs versus copper, labor costs are lower, it's less prohibitive/cumbersome when you need or prefer to dig, and pole attachment is cheaper/easier.

In very rural areas, customers are so sparse that it's a money loser whatever you do. Installation of the copper phone lines was paid for by government programs, and the USF fees continue to subsidize their continued operation. While fiber has lower operating/maintenance costs than copper, the payoff period for the conversion is many decades, so decidedly uneconomical.

When FIOS first came out, it was unsurprisingly the sub-urban areas which were the first to be converted. They are the sweet-spot for most profitable FIOS conversion. Urban areas remain expensive to convert, but internet service has become more profitable over the years, and losing your customers to a competitor which did the investment is bad all-around, so conversion happens regardless of expense.

Most telling fact is Verizon opting to get out of wired service entirely. It's a lower margin business than most, requiring high up-front investment with long/slow payback... at least in areas where there is any competition.
Yeah, it's interesting that the author DIDN'T go to high school, but talks about how bad bullying is in high school.

I was fortunate to not really be bullied much ever, but my anecdata from myself and asking friends is that bullying was MUCH worse in Middle School.

From some Googling, I couldn't find any studies, but everything I saw seemed to say the same.

My only major bullying was by a kid who got bullied a lot - randomly just kicked me down a flight of stairs one day. I'm not sure if that even counts as bullying, and it's hard to blame him too much as a major victim of bullying himself...

But getting kicked down a flight of stairs sucks! I don't recommend it.
Mockintosh RESTful API Mocking – Part 1: Configuration Syntax
What they do is have many people steal stuff under $950, every day. It adds up over time. They usually steal things with a long shelf life and then resell it on ebay, amazon and other places. It's an organized theft ring.

> that's probably insured anyway

That's a pretty poor attitude, imho. You're ok with stealing things as long as they're "insured?" Who pays the insurance, and what are insurance rates based on? Insurance companies are looking at these multi-million dollar losses and jacking up the rates in these areas, or not covering certain areas at all. The end result is businesses are closing, and the community is losing access to various stores because of it. So, who's really benefiting from this?
Do it! I switched from iOS to a Google 4a last week, and have flashed my phone with CalyxOS. I was very tempted by GrapheneOS, but having microg built into Calyx has meant the very few apps I want that aren't on fdroid work perfectly fine for me (so far, these are my banking apps).

CalyxOS turned out to be about perfect for my use case, and I've been incredibly happy with it.

They have a flashing tool, which basically involved me plugging my phone into my laptop and running a script. Only thing I really needed to do was follow the prompts.
I think it's wonderful to see "pure R&D" these days. The days of Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, etc. are gone. Even NASA is so much more restrained.

Focus on practicality leads to incremental change. But free research and aspirational (maybe impractical) goals are what brought us the revolutionary technology we rely on today.

This is as kooky as Doug Englebart's team's work was at the time, and similar in the focus on the human/machine interface. Some aspect or later interpretation may stick just like Augment's ripples through the industry.

Startups can't do it. It takes large organizations to maintain the resources for long-term benefit like this. So I commend Yamaha for putting the cash into an impractical effort. I hope they keep it going. My kids may get something revolutionary out of it.

That would be a misleading permission if the extension has full DOM access because it could be easily circumvented.

Wow, downvoted into obscurity despite factual basis. Overclocking can in fact produce EMI.

I realize that audible noise is very readily recognized as harmful. It’s been studied and proven to be harmful, as have other forms of pollution. I think EMI affects less people directly but it’s still noise.
Whoa. Really, really disappointed about this. The Phabricator approach to reviews and merges was incredibly impactful on a previous team. It encouraged discipline and an informative main branch that was always linked to reviews, and free of commits like "fixing lint errors" and "actually fix lint errors, for real".

> The most obvious things Google can do are to either limit the power of extensions and deprecate abusable APIs or to be much more stringent about human review of extensions, both of which they're doing and are justifiably unpopular.

I don't know about that. They seem to have too much stringent non-human review, which is what I usually see complaints about.
> The trend of reducing AP classes in the name of 'equity' is very troubling, as it remove the chances of smart students to have a stimulating environment, and let them learn at their faster pace.

This is happening at the school I worked at. They're offing the AP courses in the name of dual credit, which is absolutely useless if you want to do anything halfway related to the degree. But parents like how it looks better because "college credit" is always seen as good, even when it doesn't transfer because it's from a local community college that state universities laugh at. I've had students in the past told they wouldn't have to repeat it in college to just have to do just that as it wouldn't count towards their major, whereas a more rigorous AP class would have. It's all because our guidance officer might be the most incompetent person in the world at her job.

In the words of one of the few remaining AP teachers, "Her children aren't accelerated so she's going to make sure nobody is." And it's not far off, with her telling kids to take easier classes and not challenge themselves, etc. It's awful, thank God I'm on a leave of absence this coming school year.
There's something quite cyberpunk about smiling AI-generated corporate headshot faces extolling the wonders of <insert product here>. And I don't mean that in a good or bad way. I imagine we'll start seeing these all over the place quite soon.

Does it still desperately want you to squash all your patches, or does it do a good job of handling an ordered stack of patches these days?
Back when I worked in a vacuum lab we used copper O-rings between tubes, and the edges of the tubes had a knife edge to cut into the copper.

It was pretty expensive - you’re only supposed to use each O-ring once. We had a big box of them that we’d occasionally send off to recycle.

No idea, but I wonder if squatting on the most popular misspelt domains, to serve malware/whatever?

e.g. facebool.com or similar, presumably there's an interesting distribution of similar misspellings.
I'd guess it's not profitable for them?
It does an excellent job handling stacks! You may be mistaking it for Phabricator, which defaults to squashing.
Just a guess but maybe they want to detect domains people are looking up that don't exist so they can squat them.
Not exactly. I happen to work for a bank.

My employer was minimally directly effected by the housing market crash, but due to the intermingling that comprises the financial industry everybody was seriously hurt indirectly. They were forced to purchase, by the federal government, a major stock brokerage that was in serious trouble for pennies on the dollar and assume all their troubled assets.

> Representative government" seems fine until one looks more closely at who is actually represented.

When looking at current politics I find your statement incredibly strange. I used to think the Republican Party represented the wealthy and special interests (certain business interests as both major parties have their special interest priorities). That was years ago when they were the stronger and more dominant of the two US major parties, back when they had values and weren’t so hypocritical about them. But now they seemed to have strangely thrown away dominance for a failed bet on populism to energize some new core constituents to the disgust of everyone else. I have trouble finding who is actually represented by that, but then I guess a lot of people have that trouble which explains that parties atrophy.

I would hope to see improvements to make face/neck movements look more natural, to overcome these issues over time!
How do you picture it being decentralized but not self hosted? Self hosting was my first thought and I can’t think of a way to keep it from being centralized under an organization’s control without at least having it as a simple to setup Heroku or Digital Ocean app.

Intriguing. I have never used Reddit except as a search result.

The ">" is ubiquitous in email, usenet, Markdown, Github and Discord, which are more familiar. It seems to be a widely used convention here on HN as well, even though HN software doesn't highlight it.

It's baked into a lot of modern software due to long-standing convention for about half a century.

Nowadays that software includes anything taking input with a vague similarity to Markdown. There's a lot of that about.

> So I guess it's just not that important to me, overall, to use a convention that few people have ever used.

Lots of people have used it, because lots of places have copied it from where it originated.

At any rate, HN is mostly-plain-text environment that is more similar than most newer places that have adopted the convention to the context in which it originates, so in addition to its relevance to past experience, it makes sense on its own here.

> So I guess it's just not that important to me, overall, to use a convention that few people have ever used.

Yeah, lots of HN conventions each wouldn't matter if HN had one specific relevant formatting feature for the use case the convention addresses, but it doesn't, so we have the conventions we have.

Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks!

I went ahead and did a helper bot for my game using discord.js in typescript.

It even has daily trivia and a currency -- necrocoins.

I think it went relatively well, but I can understand why other people go for serverless solutions.

For those that want to know, google cloud's free tier was and is enough to handle a bot with relatively low amount of active players (around 590 as of this post)
Assuming this works, isn't this pretty much game over for dentists? I'm aware that dentists do more than fillings, but it seems like there would be a serious contraction, even if this costed something like $1000 a tooth after insurance.

That being said, even if this worked, it's not like it's instant, so you still have to be careful with your teeth. I wonder how this differs from novamin, which supposedly does the same thing and you can already purchase now.

Had a similar experience the other day on the highway. Traffic was doing ~85mph so I was too and got passed on both sides within inches of my side mirrors by a group of 8 or so people on racing bikes with loud exhausts doing at least 100mph. I didn't hear them/notice them until they were basically in my blind spots, it was very unsettling.

I also suspect that the bulk of exhaust noise is projected to the rear of the vehicle anyway, which makes it not especially useful as a "safety" feature if you are unsafely driving considerably faster than and weaving through traffic.
Putting extra hardware in there to allow it to run Linux is probably less expensive than the savings from being able to target Linux for your software.

Indeed! R.T.Russel's Z80 version also includes a built-in Z80 assembler that works in exactly the same way. Being able to inline assembler with BASIC was a stroke of genius, and many developers of the day relied upon it to assemble their code. I've extended the Next version to include the Next-specific Z80N opcodes such as NEXTREG and PIXELAD.

1. Thanks..as it shows the article in question was full of holes, such as the Russians requiring an app be baked in and not being able to uninstall. This was false.

2. This is for iCLOUD backups. Yes, that's a problem. But you can turn off iCloud backups totally...and then use your computer to make the backup while tethered and THAT can be encrypted. If your security conscience, don't use iCloud back-up. Yes.

3. Adverts in the App Store aren't tracking you. They're adverts in the app store. I forget that when someone these days sees an ad, their face melts.

4. Again, Apple isn't sitting there looking over your shoulder watching everything you do for the ads. The ads are for the apps that are "free" and get revenue from the ads in their apps. Usually pushing people to pay the $1.99 for the app. Annoying, yes. On the level of Facebook or Google? Not even close. But keep an eye on this.

5. Apple took 3 years to fully cut ties with a supplier using child labor. Fully cut ties. They are no longer doing it...but took their sweet time. Again, hold their feet to the fire over this.

I personally don't think the monetary consequences would be very large. We have absolutely no idea how it would go but for me personally I'd probably just continue to learn normally and I bet a lot of other people would as well! However, having doctors working at 80% efficiency (Enough not to be fired but bad enough to kill some people) wouldn't be the best at all...
Yeah I had an API server to write. I looked at FastAPI and checked out the example project. So much tooling for formatting, type hinting, linting, deployment, etc. And while the project claims to be "comparable in speed to Go" the benchmarks they linked to showed that meant "significantly slower than". In the end I just went with go instead. Python has it's place but you can avoid a lot of work by using something else sometimes.
