I think you lost the context. Wal*Mart is threatened by other retailers. Why might they be losing foot traffic/customers/sales?

People want to shop with others of similar taste/preferences. They presently cater to the one of the lowest common denominators (Dollar stores could be lower, I guess), so how could they appeal to other shoppers?

That’s the crux of the question. The current stores appeal to one audience but not another.

Whole Foods has the same problem, except from the other direction. Working class folks will sneer at Whole Foods. It’s not their bag. Amazon would have to open something that caters to price conscious shoppers if they wanted to expand groceries to working class shoppers...
Ah, economists, those who pretend to know things.

Why would that be? Curl can perform incredibly complicated requests to the point where they're barely legible on the command line.
"Good. It’s a shame that Biden had to back down from the initial 28% because of domestic opposition."

He can always change his mind. Plus--I have a weird feeling Biden would't mind putting off spending trillions on a nebulus bill right now. Of course he won't admit it publically.

AIM statuses were the method of ephermeral self expression back then. Installing bootleg versions of VBB, UBB, and feeling like an absolute boss when people signed up. Warez forums, EFnet, skinning winamp, downloading 50 rar files and waiting in anticipation for that file.

Most people, unlike the activists, aren’t that politically involved. My parents are immigrants from a Muslim country, and are annoyed that progressive activists like Ilhan Omar have become “the face of Islam in America.” They tuned in long enough to vote for Biden in the primaries when it seemed like a progressive might win the nomination instead, but they’re not going to go out there and stir things up.

The other problem is that the media narrative is controlled by white progressives who amplify the activists. Nobody invites my dad on CNN to express his view that he’s faced remarkably little racism living in America since 1989, most of that time in a red state. Nobody has my mom on TV defending Trump’s law and order stance and complaining why it took Biden so long to condemn rioting. Instead you have talking heads with degrees in cultural studies subjects that my parents wouldn’t even have allowed their kids to major in. FFS, 40% of men voted for Trump. When was the last time you ever saw one on TV?

It’s been nice to see some normies speaking out about this. Zaid Jilani, who grew up as a Pakistani kid in the south, is one example: https://mobile.twitter.com/zaidjilani. Wesley Yang is great, and Matt Yglesias has been willing to broach the subject as well. Every now and then Fareed Zakaria on CNN chimes in with a take, like during last summer when he noted “hey immigrants actually love America and think it’s pretty good.”

But center-left whites people need to defend their turf. The progressive left tries very hard to act like they’re speaking for all “people of color” and draw moral authority from that. They will amplify and retweet a handful of say Asian activists, and because there are so many more white people that really skews the perception of what Asians actually think and want. I think often times center-left white people are too scared of being labeled conservative to push back on that.
The best outcome of this might be to have extensions more widely available on mobile browsers. A bad outcome would be that Firefox limits the capabilities of its extensions.
The answer to your question is simple. Governments are the highest sovereign bodies. They can agree on whatever they want.
It might just be a common journalistic practice to briefly profile any name introduced into an article.
Right, I understand. My point is that if they're going to mention cURL, but then describe it as "a command-line tool that transfers data using HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, and other common Internet protocols." why not just say the attack can be executed directly from the command line? Any techincally literate audience will understand that implies cURL (or any other tool!) and an non-technical audience will understand its simplicity, if that is in fact the case.

I still think it's strange to mention cURL specifically in the way they did and agree with the GP. Here's another terrible analogy for the HN archives, but it's kind of like saying, "the smash-and-grab on the jewel store can committed with a Stanley™ 16 oz Curved Claw Fiberglass Hammer" when of course any heavy, handheld object will do.

While I do think there are bigger societal and systemic issues, I agree with you. My first thought is that they don't have enough work to do. I've worked with gay, trans, transitioning, liberal/conservative, whatever and it's never been an issue (or even anything we thought about). We were too busy trying to make enough money to keep from going out of business.

The shared challenge with people different from yourself is a great way to remove biases. Unfortunately, there are fewer avenues for that type of challenge today, and fewer still as people retreat into their homogenous bubbles.
I be curious to see if there is a Terminal User Interface that can also have a GUI mode as well if opened directly rather than in a terminal.

At least in Quake this was not deliberate choice. It was fortunate accident. It took some time for people to discover bunny hopping and once somebody figured it out it took like a storm.

Hopping wasn't discovered immediately. I remember we were doing things like strafing into walls to speed up movement before we knew bunny hops are possible.

I don't think idSoftware predicted how the game would be used when they were working on it. I believe the movement mechanics is just a byproduct of simplistic movement calculations.

These so-called skeleton screens are a common technique and not inherently bad.

When you know an elements exact dimensions but not its contents and have more important things to serve first, it’s completely valid to use.

It gets infuriating when these grey boxes animate about but them decide not to display anything anyway and just collapse. Or they load and load and load and not account for network errors. Or when the box sizes has nothing to do with the size of the element it’s being a placeholder for.
I don't take this as "Google doesn't care about UX" or performance as some comments suggest. Google is a large company and its not one unified team working on various projects in exact sync.

That said, as Google will start promoting non-AMP content that passes Coe Web Page Vitals, its become a bigger deal.

Still annoyed that Target and Walmart refuse to accept Apple Pay so that they can continue to collect identifying data on all the customers that pass through their doors.
This whole debate is the conflation of proximate causes and antecedent causes.
If the most skilled person gets hired, is that an example of meritocracy?

According to some people's definition - those who emphasize the proximate cause of the decision - yes, this is absolutely a meritocracy.

According to others, no, it isn't, because of the genetic lottery and other antecedent causes outside of the control of the hiree.

Who is right here? The answer is that both parties are right. They don't disagree on the underlying reality. They just disagree on what aspects of that reality the word "meritocracy" should refer to.

It gets to be difficult to constantly come back to management for money at a small company. The MFA/Identity services want 3-12$/user. EDR wants 4-12$/user. Phishing training, same. VPN (fortinet in my case) same.

> This is about extensions, not plugins.

What's the difference between an 'extension' and a 'plugin' in your eyes? These words seem semantically indistinguishable.
Depends how you read it. When I see “was the result of a compromised password” I think “they should’ve used something mitigates the risk of compromised passwords”. I don’t think it’s blaming the employee but rather blaming the company’s fragile security model. Everyone should use MFA on as many things as possible

What we have today is not capitalism. Capitalism requires free markets. What we have today is a market propped up by money centralized printing. The winners are chosen by the money printer.
Corporations profit the most from infrastructure, education and other collective achievements of a society, so it makes sense that they also funnel resources into that system.

The charitable interpretation of this agreement is that this is to be achieved by coordinating taxes of multinational corporations.

It seems reasonable to me, strategically speaking. I have political reservations (to say the least) towards high concentration of power though, since we’re talking large corporations, G7 and so on.
In other words, US is the #1 backer if imaginary assets which are also the best trick used by major multinationals to shift their tax burden. In order to solve this problem US does not get rid of imaginary assets but raises the tax on the world.

Sure, so the competitive advantage of poor countries will be what -- low wages?

I think the point is that, it did evolve, as your link shows—and there are lots of other sane alternative shells, too. The problem isn't that they don't exist; it's getting people to adopt them in sufficient numbers.
This is a terrible idea. This “race to the bottom” is what drives efficiency and better ways of doing things. It’s why we don’t have $10,000 desktops in our homes with 386 processors.

If computer chip manufacturers decided to create a floor price for their products that would be collusion and bad for consumers. Same here. It’s bad for citizens of a country.

You damn know some developing country is going to be told “nah, sorry, can’t lower your corporate tax rate too low to spur investment, those jobs are staying in developed countries”.
“ That’s contributed not only to increased drone activity, but also to more dogs and bicycles on the trails – all of which are prohibited.

“We’ve seen a significant increase in dogs, particularly off-leash,” Loebl said. “That’s devastating for wildlife and this is prime nesting season. The dogs chase the birds and the birds abandon their nests.”

Another problem is the development of multimillion-dollar homes on the hillside at the north end of the reserve overlooking the wetlands, said Fish and Wildlife warden Nick Molsberry. While most residents respect the sensitive nature of the estuary, there are a few scofflaws, he said.

“It’s residents that sometimes feel entitled, that feel they should be able to use the land as they like,” Molsberry said. Authorities are ramping up enforcement and citing people who break the rules. “

It’s sad to see people taking ignorant actions that harm future generations from experiencing nature.

Good. I didn't think such a global minimum was politically possible. There was recently an article on HN where the author claimed that high tax rates don't impact high net worth individuals because they have already made their money. It just makes it harder for others to join the club. Perhaps what we need is a global maximum wealth (rather than income) cap, as a multiple of global median per-capita wealth. Perhaps start with a large multiplier (say 10,000x) and reduce 1% annually?

That's throwing the baby out with the bath water. Apple has a legitimate need for a subsidiary in countries they operate. What needs to stop is the shenanigans around revenue & costs designed solely to generate profit in low tax countries.
Selling fake products masquerading as a real ones. That’s literally the worst case scenario for a customer.

If I buy a product and it has issues—okay, it happens. Maybe I post a bad review or just don’t buy it again.

If I buy a product and it’s something else, the seller should be ashamed of themselves.

I have bought (and returned) countless fraudulent books from Amazon to the point where I had to weigh the books, count the pages, and compare with publishers.

And then I closed my prime membership and I’ll take the longer wait times for a real product.

bsdiff is pretty similar to RTPatch, which is what the game industry used in the past. I'm unaware of what you're describing ever being used in practice, especially among large game houses.

That said, patches aren't really downloaded as standalone patches anymore because of Steam distribution. The way Steam handles it is documented, and if you're interested, it's available here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading#Building_Ef...

But as an overview, Steam splits files into 1MB chunks and only downloads the 1MB chunks that have changed. The 1MB chunks are compressed in transit. Steam also dedups the 1MB chunks. I would assume that this works fine to manage the tradeoffs between size and efficiency.
The endgame of the people isn’t relevant to whether the law is good or bad, legal or illegal.

This group is for gun rights and seems to want to remove all restrictions, thus the pictures of happy people with guns, etc.

It seems their aim isn’t to figure out what firearms are too dangerous, so they won’t be participating in that discussion.

Assuming that everyone shares my problem and wants to solve it is not accurate. If I make a bad law that’s ambiguous, I shouldn’t expect enemies of that law’s aim to help me fix it, but to destroy it.

Some people don’t want gun limitations.
> If firewall changes are necessary for HTTP/3 to be adopted (eg connection tracking in routers may not work anymore), that can cause big problems in adoption.

If firewall changes are necessary for HTTP/3, then it's a slightly 'dumb' protocol in some ways.

If that's a prerequisite, then perhaps more effort should have been spent in getting SCTP and DCCP accepted and run HTTP over one/both of those. QUIC seems to have basically the same feature set AFAICT.

Besides the architecture decision of having QUIC being on top of UDP, are there specific features that are much better than SCTP and/or DCCP? Are the other two better in particular areas? How complementary or competitive are the two approaches? (Genuinely curious.)
The thread is a shitshow of bluster, vague accusations, mob down voting and carefully selected facts on both sides but it's interesting that it is still possible to piece together what actually happened by reading a selection of the comments from both sides.

My impression is that one side is slightly more keen on obscuring the full facts than the other without outright giving the impression that that is what they are doing.

I get it as a video still if I add 'tianenmen'; but that's not necessary with DDG (my usual search engine) which I thought relied on Bing.

"racism within police departments is responsible for the killing of black people in the USA"

Firstly, if they are mistaken about facts, that doesn't necessarily make them racist. That just makes them mistaken, and possibly racist depending on the reasons they are mistaken.
