I will believe that MS is really committed to open source when they open source something they don’t actually need to in order to sell it. An open source DirectX would be revolutionary for cross-platform games. An open source Office would make everyone’s life easier developing integrations and cement OOXML as the standard document format for another lifetime. An open source AD would make Okta and Auth0 shiver. An open source Remote Desktop would over night put every other competing product out of business. An open source Hyper-V would completely change the market and there would be a serious competitor to KVM.

There’s so much potential and wasted effort building around all MS’s tooling because of the lock-in and iron sales grip. And it makes them bank so I don’t expect it to change any time soon but MS could have owned a whole generation of developers if they had focused more on community and openness. Now there’s two completely separate worlds where you’re either a MS dev or an “everyone else” dev.
what if you just build it? What are the sanctions? Can you legalise it later?
And my point is that there's no reason "wealth inequality" is something you'd want to prevent unless your goal was to make the rich poorer.

I completely appreciate that you may think it's a worthwhile cause (or not, who am I to ascribe your views), but I'm just pointing out that it's worth separating "making the poor richer" from "making the rich poorer"; as you rightly pointed out, they are different goals. Some people even want both!

Among those that adopt zero-sum thinking, there has unfortunately been a conflation of the two aims by suggesting that the only way to make the poor richer is to make the rich poorer. What I am pointing out is that not everyone adopts this zero-sum thinking, and the best way to identify whether one does is by asking the question: "is the goal to make the poor richer, or the rich poorer?".

Based on your argumentation, I concede that a more complete question is "is the goal to make the poor richer, the rich poorer, or both?". Many folks are in column A, many in B, and many in C. Until we acknowledge that, we're just shouting talking points past each other based on assumed moral premises.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but GCP HTTPS and SSL load balancers give you certificates for free. They support Google's own CA (pki.goog) as well as Let's Encrypt. Full disclosure I work in GCP, but not on this.

What workloads are you referring to when you say "heavy machines"?
Sweet jesus. I really thought they'd killed this misfeature off after all the shenanigans we had with it in the late nineties.
I can see that many people who worked in cafes before the event, will retrain to work as therapists and will be helping people to adjust to normal life, in the sense, for example, teaching how to find friends outside of work, how to meet with local people for lunch and so on.
There will be a lot of opportunity to teach people how to cook and do other tasks that they couldn't do because of commuting, no time outside of work etc.
I think this will lift us out of depression and improve economy in many ways.

It says (at least, it does now, as I write) 'evaluating necessity'.

[EDIT: I read further down this page, dang commented that he'd edited in the 'evaluating' just 1m before parent's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27453952 So, yes, fair enough, 'necessity of' is ambiguous, as I went on to say in my original comment continuing below.]

Necessity is the concept as well as describing one possible state of it.

Another example: when 'my hunger is sated', I do not 'have a hunger', I am 'not hungry'.
The current source of Hacker News is proprietary, because this forum is attached to a billion-dollar startup incubator and there's apparently real money to be had for wantrepreneurs trying to game the algorithm, and plenty of "business logic" they would have to remove and whatnot.

The current source of Arc Lisp is at https://arclanguage.org. It isn't open source in that there is any way to contribute or make pull requests that I'm aware of (I may simply be too much of a pleb to know,) rather now and then new versions simply descend from the Lisp gods and are posted. So it's more 'source available.'

The current public fork of Arc Lisp is Anarki at https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki. It has deviated a great deal from Arc and its version of the forum is not in any way in feature parity with Hacker News. But anyone is welcome to make a PR and contribute.

If a customer loses the phone, and then ports the number instead of replacing it, and also forgets their password at the same time... yeah, I think it's fair to give them a bit of a hard time before letting them in.

Video verification sounds reasonable, as would some wait time. What's not reasonable in that situation is a self-service fully automated account recovery via SMS and e-mail verification followed by allowing withdrawals.

You're basically evaluated according to L5 requirements. Given that you weren't promoted at that point, it's likely you're not performing at those requirements, and you'll be slowly managed out. More often as people get close to the red zone, they just swap companies preemptively.

Lilium's weird, energy-hungry “small fan” design could be a hidden ace
> It either works, or it doesn't; and if it doesn't, you're out of luck.

In a lot of ways that's my biggest complaint with a lot of "Apple ecosystem magic". I just want them to design all these interesting features -- and even the more basic uninteresting ones -- with a recognition that no matter how seamless they try to be, sometimes they will fail, and that they should fail in ways that are neither invisible nor inscrutable. While I think this problem has been getting worse over the years, in no small part as the systems get more complex, "pretend things never fail" has been a long-standing problem with Apple's engineering culture.

But I have learned I had a misconception about what a phonetic spelling is. I had thought that a phonetic spelling had the property of every sound in the language having one way to spell it, but that is not the case; instead for every grapheme there is one sound.

As a native English speaker, learning a little French (after German and Latin) opened my eyes to the horrors of English. Really French is very tame in comparison.
this is only kind of true. WHile rail IS more expensive you can't compare a barrel in a pipeline with a barrel on a train. Pipelines need to carry diluted oil products to make them flow and then sometimes return that back to the source, so there's extra flow. Pipelines use far LESS energy to transport which is kind of ironic; and they are way, way safer.

I don't see this as an environmental move based on the political signalling it buys and other moves made by the US administration. If we agree that we want to reduce demand for certain types of energy than the first thing we should do is promote FF from Canada that are relatively clean, highly regulated and produced by a trusted democracy over the ones that will be used to fill this void from 3rd-world dictators with no environmental controls.

It is interesting that the Slashdot crowd was fairly universal in panning the idea of paying people less if they lived in a low cost area. In my 17 years as a designated "teleworker" at a SV megacorp, they adjusted compensation ratios. This meant that they didn't reduce my salary when I moved from an expensive city to a cheap mountain town, I just didn't get raises for a few years because my comp ratio was too high. I don't understand why people would rail against this kind of policy. It certainly didn't motivate me to move back to an expensive city.

I'm not sure how well this would work out for those geo-arbitrage digital nomads, but I don't think that companies should be particularly accommodating that corner case.

>OSS work becomes just a source of free labor for large tech companies.

I really don't understand why there are always comments of this nature every time this is brought up. Why is the size of the company relevant? Do people here not have jobs in the IT field? When people contribute to open source, anyone is able to use that code, including you. That means when you go get a job at a new company, you can keep using that code. It doesn't matter if you go to a small company or a large company.
A year ago? Sure. Now the market for remote engineers is competitive.

I basically eliminated my mortgage by selling and moving. My salary can go way down without affecting my living standards.
>Is there a growing sense that our GUI/UI paradigms took a wrong step somewhere in CS history and we've pushed the current UI path as far as it will go?

Yes. It was called "web UI".

This brought a level of casualness and lack of rigor, that infected native UIs as well.

In the 90s there was a lot of GUI research, including by major companies like Microsoft and Apple, and lots of innovations.

But even more importantly, the standard practices of the main OS makers, favored a uniform look, with clear affordances (e.g. button bevels), and so on. The apex of with would be something like Windows 2000, Mac OS 8, BeOS, NeXT, and the like.

Stuff like "mystery meat navigation", "hamburger menus", "invisible scrollbars", huge padding, buttons that look like text, and so on, including "let's make the whole desktop app interface in the DOM" where post-2000 additions, and not for the better.

Still remember 3 years ago vscode launch keynote where the presenter was like "most open source software gets abandoned because open-source developers don't care about their projects. But this one is backed by Microsoft which makes it better and trustworthy..." something around this lines. The contempt for open-source was disgusting

Never used vscode again

My biggest question right now about sustained wfh is how much of the current productivity is the result of relationships that were built in the office.

A year ago, I remotely onboarded for a new position and recently I can head back into the office, and there's a massive difference for me between the virtual relationships I built and the in-person ones.

I learned more about people that I had spent months zooming/emailing with over the past few weeks talking to them face to face. Also having a dedicated workspace and a mental break between home & work has increased my productivity.
>I don't personally find what he's saying there to be especially problematic.

And you're right in theory; in theory it's fine to give people a chance to express their opinion. In theory the out-of-mainstream views have some insight that's worth the questionable bits.

But in practice, what Scott Alexander did was cultivate a community of racists. He provided a platform, he provided cover for them.

From a purely consequential point of view Scott Alexander's political writing has been a detriment. Surely no one would consider "My community is well known as a racist gathering spot" a successful outcome.

It's not just the cost of doing business with regard to free speech norms, it's a poor application of free speech norms reproducing basic racism.
Microsoft takes 30% of xbox purchases. That's the argument.

Apple doesn't take 30% of every purchase you make online. You're free to use a browser and purchase there where Apple doesn't take a cut.

I'm not saying I agree with this, and I think 30% is about triple what's reasonable, but if we're going to rail against Apple here, we should include Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft too.

Mostly that by having remote co-workers I get many of the downsides of remote work without any of the upsides.

Once a few colleagues are remote, all collaboration has to assume remote as the default. Even if I'm in the office I'm still stuck with remote collaboration, but I still have a commute.
But in this case they are setting up a bank that has the ability to facilitate certain banking practices that would be difficult to accomplish without a complicit bank. As such, no person, whether a criminal or not, would be able to commit these crimes without the help of the bank acting as law enforcement agent. The only way it would not be entrapment with regards to the illegal banking would be if they could show that there are other non-law-enforcement run banks that were available to make these facilities available to the defendant. If other banks have mechanisms in place to prevent these banking crimes in the first place, then you couldn't expect that the defendant could have committed them without the assistance of the government agent.

However if they learned information about other criminal activities through this, then those activities would not be subject to a defense of entrapment.

So go ahead and charge them on drug trafficking. But the laundering charges look like entrapment to me. Not a 100% shut and closed case, because it is a bit subjective, but I would expect any defense to have a good chance with it.
I suppose, as with most things, "it depends". If a model-Y base is 39k + 10k FSD, and an ID.4 is 39k, that is ~1100hrs of self-driving (whatever that ends-up being) at that 8.50 price point. If we ballpark 3 days a week, 2hours autonomous drive/day (YMMV, lol) then that is recouped in 46 months. Would rather buy a Tesla, and I don't really care for Tesla.
Kraken's own support site says that they do not in fact support U2F.

https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001363963-Yu...

It doesn't make sense to try to "support multiple keys" for TOTP. You can copy-paste TOTP seeds if that's what you want and feel comfortable with, if the site tries to allow you to use any of N seeds they not only increase their system complexity they also reduce their security by a factor of N which makes no sense.

Edited to add: OK, Coinbase does now have U2F and they clearly state you can use "a maximum of 5 keys" which feels like that's enough.

You're incorrectly assuming that you can predict a site will never allow password reset via SMS only.

You can check if they appear to allow it today. Not perfectly, as they may have multiple variants and depending on other factors you might get presented with one or the other.

But you have no way to predict if next month a PM there decides their current password reset was too cumbersome and they change it to SMS-only. If you had a phone# on file, you're now suddenly vulnerable.
Government gonna govern. Unless there are specific appeal clauses in the relevant permission processes, most governments can (and will) do what they want on this sort of issue. You can interpret it as a prevarication over the private individual/company, or as a reaffirmation of society's right to change its mind.

This sort of scenario is precisely why private interests lobby so hard to add arbitration rules to international free-trade agreements, btw; they want to protect their investments against changes in political winds, by moving judgements on compensation to a dodgy world of ad-hoc pseudo-legal structures.
Because it's not public health policy anywhere that I'm aware of? But vaccine rollout would be way quicker, and 'positive test or vaccinated' proportion of populations would be way higher, and that would influence discussion of other aspects, like 'herd immunity' for example.
I'm mixed on remote work, even as an engineering IC, despite claims that only management want in-office.

To me, the downside of remote coworkers is we've already seen a dynamic at many companies that start with "we'll allow remote workers" straight to "if we allow any in-person collaboration, then remote workers will be second-class citizens, so to pre-empt that, we will actively discourage any in person collaboration."

For example, Coinbase didn't just allow remote but shut down the SF office for this reason. Twitter is re-opening their office but in a crippled state, where the food options are massively downsized, and employees are actively discouraged from eating with any teammates.

If you're the type of personality who gets energized by collaboration with teammates, if you like the real teammate relationships that more easily develop with facetime, then it's not a matter of allowing remote coworkers but whether those remote coworkers now get to advocate for actively destroying any office culture.

Again, I understand why there's many advantages of remote work, but let's not pretend the people who didn't want to go remote are unaffected.
i onboarded last summer as an intern and it was pretty miserable. language barrier with my intern manager mediated by zoom/blue jeans/portal plus the famously poorly documented codebase made it damn near impossible to get things done. i got a return offer but i'm pretty sure it was because everyone was struggling (skip said as much). i'm surprised they're doing this.
I agree 100% - whatever reaction posts like yours get, it's important to realize that a lot of people think this way, quite possibly a majority if you could talk to them on their own, despite efforts to pretend anyone against whatever government / corporate orthodoxy is pushing this week is some kind of conspiracy nut

Google flights takes you straight to the airlines websites. No intermediaries. How's that increasing costs to consumers?

Do third party booking sites usually offer lower prices than the airlines themselves? I've seen it happen but very rarely.
A lot of innocent people are going to feel a lot of pain when that happens (along with completely guilty people of course) - I don't think it's avoidable myself but I can definitely sympathize with the people fighting to try and cushion the transition.
