Ha! I only figured it out after buying Kona Rove NRB, which is not even an entry-level bike, but it turned out to have disk brakes and extremely fragile paintwork.

It served me well, but I am still somewhat cautious when descending since then.
We will probably look back at this time as the golden age of information technology. Monopolistic phenomena are emerging everywhere. Things are going to change[1].

There's no real way to demonstrate that a few larger players are better than many smaller ones.

Maybe is good for economies of scale, but mainly for the big fishes and only marginally for end users.

One of the A in FAANG drives their assembly contractor so hard, they had a problem with worker suicides.

The other A in FAANG busts unions and instead of providing safe working conditions, just parked ambulances outside to load up workers as they fell from heatstroke.

There's so many shrill voices insisting the web remain in some tight small box, unthreatening to all other interests.

This bent of radical conservatism against online platforms is really dismaying to me. The web has, my whole life, gotten better & better. Oh yes, there are ads & big companies. But it keeps getting richer and more powerful, we keep finding new exciting uses, we keep being more creative & empowered from the web, & it's ease & connectivity & rich capabilities. And wow, there are so many angry men, really upset pissed off vocal folk, that can't stand that the web has gotten better. That see: oh there are ads, so I need to hate the web, I need to hate the web's growth.

I just find it incredibly incredibly sad. The web should continue to grow and thrive. But there is such a loud angry mob of people who really really really really really really really hate that idea. There's no reason, no kindness to negotiate or mediate with them. They are just so so angry & so against the web's growth. I for one can not imagine having such a limited horizon, such limited vision, such deep rooted desire to choke off any medium.
Whoever makes the first 'secure enough' (for IP industry lobby) DRM solution that uses NFTs for access management of digital content is going to make a ton of money.

The hard part isn't the tech (DRM can't be perfect, but it doesn't stop other solutions from being sold), its getting buy-in from the IP industry lobby. They probably cringe at the idea of digital access rights being resold or traded as it erodes their monopoly pricing power.

Being able to trade movies and songs at release sounds fun, and I'm sure wallstreetbets style traders would pile in if the ecosystem develops enough confidence. Would also allow content creators to recoup investment much faster at the expense of long tail royalty type earnings - which some may find very attractive.
Dale Carnegie vs. Lin Yutang: How to Stop Worrying and Start Loafing
Micah Lee's comments on The Intercept's handling of Reality Winner's case can be found in "Working Securely", see pp. 2--3:

Sadly in both the Terry Albury and Reality Winner cases, I think there was little we could have done to prevent them from getting caught. In Reality’s case there’s a lot we should have done better, but even if we did it all perfectly, she almost certainly would still have gotten caught because of how things happened on her end that were outside of our control. In fact the affidavit against her doesn’t mention printer dots or anything like that.

I believe the lack of mention of specific identity tagging in affadavits is something of a red herring. Winner admitted in her interview with the FBI during the initial search to smuggling out the documents, as noted in the TAL re-enactment above. There's no need to go beyond the sufficient in establishing cause or belief.

NYT on The Intercept's handing of Winner's documents:

The startling carelessness about protecting Ms. Winner was particularly mystifying at an organization that had been founded on security. The Intercept had hired leaders in digital security, Ms. Clark and Micah Lee, for just such situations. [Intercept journalist] Mr. [Matthew] Cole did not involve them at all.

You want to talk about quality of life difference between $7/hour and $23/hour ??? Sure where do you want to start?

Want to talk about quality of healthcare… the US will lose badly here (except in certain types of cancer). And skewed statistics because the US just refuses treatment to a bunch of folks which hides treatment/mortality rates.

You want to talk about median income 33k (us) vs 43k (au)?

Or back to the more pressing point: when you only have corporate lobbyists and no lobbyists for workers (unions) workers get skrewed across the board.

Tables, Google's AirTable Rival, Graduates from Beta
Which of their own tech giants has Europe put into check against their own self-interest? None, because they can't create them to begin with.

Unfortunately for Europe, making empty excuses won't help (as the past 20 years has overwhelmingly demonstrated).

Free trade does not imply putting monopolies into check, as all monopolies are not an inherent restraint on trade. Besides that, there is no free trade anyway. It doesn't exist anywhere. When you sign trade agreements what you have is not free trade, you have structured trade agreements, not a scenario where anything goes. Trade agreements are specifically a restraint on trade, by agreement. Free trade is entirely an intellectual con. It can't exist, it has never existed, it will never exist. There isn't a single major nation that actually wants free trade, either.

And further, Europe is more protectionist than the US is and that has always been the case throughout all of US economic history. It will always be the case, due to the extreme nationalism that will always exist in Europe and the nationalist forever-conflicts between nations there which also will never cease.

Google wasn't a tech giant before it had an aging, entrenched monopoly? Of course it was. Google was one of the world's largest technology businesses by 2008, a mere decade after its founding.

Apple doesn't even have a consequential monopoly anywhere on planet Earth. In the US it has half the app store market, that's it. Outside of the US its position is dramatically smaller.

Amazon doesn't have a monopoly in anything other than e-books.

Microsoft was one of the world's largest technology businesses before they acquired their desktop OS monopoly.

Intel was one of the world's largest technology businesses before it acquired a monopoly in PC microprocessors.

And Facebook - well absolutely nobody is stopping European nations from creating their own globe spanning social networks. The Europeans haven't done it and can't do it, for obvious reasons (fractured, incompatible markets).

There are no nations in Europe eager to hamper their own giants, either. Germany isn't eager to cripple their auto giants (now or in the past). France isn't eager to cripple LVMH. Italy isn't eager to cripple Luxottica's monopoly. Spain isn't eager to crush Inditex. The Europeans wouldn't be rushing to destroy Airbus if they were to acquire a monopoly aerospace position. And so on.
First thing that came to mind is that you should set a max width of the content container. For those of us that have a ultrawide for example, it can become hard to read when the content spans the entire screen.
I have never done that to be honest, if it’s not a big hassle I could try to do it
Nah. People tried that already with bad results. Not to mention, what happens when the foreigners you are exploiting start demanding the same things the locals are?

Not only that, but the social and political ramifications of having not only blue collar workers out of a job, but also the PMC class as well. You want a revolution? Cause that is how you get one.
Science itself assumes a metaphysical reality. Science can only make observations on the material world. Science cannot confirm or deny metaphysical underpinnings.

I think classical vs quantum physics is a good example. It gave us information on determinism, but it didn't explain who / what is setting the odds.

Science can give us estimates for all the universal constants. It cannot tell us how they came to being.

We know there was a big bang, we don't know in which medium the big bang occurred.
Sure, but look at what cues their system uses:

"The highest predictive power was afforded by head orientation (58%), followed by emotional expression (57%). Liberals tended to face the camera more directly, were more likely to express surprise, and less likely to express disgust. "

The system isn't telling you anything about the person themselves; it's picking up on artifacts about how different subcultures present themselves in a public profile.
The most likely theory I've seen so far is that he wants to make it Free in the Parler/4chan sense, using the positive karma balance behind the word Freenode to legitimize it. This, like all other theories, is not supported by strong enough evidence that it can be declared certain.

No; pretty much everything in my comment is undisputed old hat, so it is kind of tangential.

The main myth is not that any of that is false, but rather than thin tires more than compensate for these effects due to their reduced air drag and weight and so always end up being advantageous anyway.

(And they almost certainly are on a polished indoor velodrome track, where the effect of surface imperfections is next to nonexistent.)
The comparison doesn't really make much sense IMO. Searching with and without indexing is targeting two very different use cases. I wanted to try idutils and see if it suffered from pitfalls (like if the indexing scanner didn't grab a token) or how it handled regexes. But I couldn't get it compiled using these commands[1]. It failed with:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -MT fseterr.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/fseterr.Tpo -c -o fseterr.o fseterr.c
fseterr.c: In function 'fseterr':
fseterr.c:74:3: error: #error "Please port gnulib fseterr.c to your platform! Look at the definitions of ferror and clearerr on your system, then report this to bug-gnulib."
74 | #error "Please port gnulib fseterr.c to your platform! Look at the definitions of ferror and clearerr on your system, then report this to bug-gnulib."
| ^~~~~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1590: fseterr.o] Error 1

So I can't even easily get idutils to try it, but suspicion is that it misses some key use cases. And from what I can tell, its index doesn't auto-update, so you now have to use your brain power to remember to update the index. (Or figure out how to automate it.)

ripgrep is commonly used in source code repos, where you might be editing code or checking out different branches all the time. An indexing tool in that scenario without excellent automatic updates is a non-starter.

I don't know, the vast majority of 46+ year olds I know hardly exhibit any more skepticism of official narratives than GenX/millennials/GenZ. I just think that going along with the program was a fruitful course of action for so long that it became very ingrained habit. The ones who had their brains broken by the 60s assassinations missed out on all the Beatles/Woodstock/counterculture fun, and then it certainly didn't do them any good to get pissed about the CIA trafficking drugs into the country in the 80s. I think the (middle class) people in the imperial core have been sheltered from the depredations for so long they're just convinced "it won't happen to me."
I'm saying that secular people have more religious tendencies than they are aware of. By understanding religion and/or philosophy, those tendencies can be recognized.
When I aged out of the cool jobs I figured out how to make a good living as a freelancer mopping up these messes, or replacing them. Dreamweaver and WordPress were the best things to ever happen to programmers who have the stomach for it — bottomless pit of maintenance work. Because the customer depends on these half-baked solutions they will pay me double or more what they paid their nephew who “is good with the computer” to write them.
In this particular case, the commonly-available FT232 clones supposedly worked better than the original - the bit banging mode actually worked reliably on the knock-offs, whereas not so much on the actual FTDI chips. (The difference that FTDI used to brick the clones was that writing to the EEPROM one byte at a time, which wasn't allowed according to the datasheet, worked on the clones but not their own chips.)
Why does Boeing have a higher market cap than Airbus? That seems nuts to me...
> Is it that much better than the food you could make at home?

Oh, my goodness, yes. My experience was Alex in Las Vegas before it closed.

The food was, of course, excellent.

However, the wine pairing was phenomenal. Most of the wines were very good to start but putting them with the particular dishes made both of them amazing.

So, for starters, unless your house readily uncorks 8 unique, really good bottles of wine to pair with 8 courses, you are certainly getting something very different, at least.

Now, I will grant you that this was before the whole "It's more important to post my food pictures on social media than actually enjoy the food." So, things may have changed.

Thank you, commuted, not pardoned. But whether he was right or not in thinking that sentence was disproportionate, it does not inform us about whether Winner’s sentence was appropriate.

The DEC VMS operating system had an extra component to their filenames. It was name.ext;version where the 'version' was an integer that incremented. Normally you would see the last N versions on any modified files until you purged them and then you'd only have one and the version numbers would start over.

When a program read a file it wouldn't say which version and the most recent would be read, or the next version written.

You could use a special filesystem that worked like this.

Edit: searching 'filesystem for git' has some matches.
It does not have to magically open the server to open an attack vector against the site by other means, e.g. MITM on an open WiFi access point. Other comments in this thread discuss this in more depth so I’m not elaborating here.
That goes beyond this one industry - the resume filter of HR departments is a tough gauntlet to get through.

The bill's only been very recently published (HN is picking up on this quite quickly), so there hasn't been very much official commentary on this just yet.

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties are in the process of analysing it https://twitter.com/ICCLtweet/status/1404417358135971841

Otherwise though, there has been widespread backlash. The govt. absolutely have the votes to push this through parliament if they want to, but public sentiment could definitely give them pause.

Given the scale of the bill, and it being accompanied by another related bill which apparently reduces oversight of the Garda (police), my suspicion is that this is a strategic strawman bill, with the intent being to push through a watered-down-but-still-pretty-terrible version of it after some "consultation" & amendments to remove the most publicly-objectionable highlights.
I'm not familiar with GNU sort's --parallel flag.

JS and PHP are often a joke due to their inconsistencies.

Anyway, these are also low-code languages. They are not low hanging fruits because of the syntax or the features but because of the API and boilerplate geared towards specific domain. These almost get out of the way of the people who are not fascinated by the technology itself but by the product they are building.

It’s so easy to use JS and PHP to solve a problem.

For PHP, you simply wrote your code and put in a folder in a LAMP machine and it works.

JS is even easier, you open the developer tools in your favorite browser and there you have it. Instantly start working on your idea.
The comment in [1] is from January and the spec is dated March, so perhaps they saw an early draft? I only took a quick glance, but it seems fairly readable now. It would be nice to be able to connect game controllers to web pages.

The fact that they tried and failed (if they did fail; maybe they will succeed eventually?) shows that they cared at least a little about standardization, even if it was somewhat half-hearted.

When negotiations fail, it's not a given that one side is entirely at fault.
I really really wish LetsEncrypt would support 1 year long certificates.

Round Robin DNS isn't really supported "easily" so for those sites & others, manually replacing certs every year would be a more practical option.

To generate revenue, they should charge for stronger business confirmation like all the other for-profit certs.
I'm in this situation and yesterday I replaced all the d3 SVG generation (d3.append, select, data, join, etc) with Vue template syntax (using v-for). So now I'm only using d3 for the x and y axis functions. The code is now much simpler. However, I lost the ability to animate with d3.transition, which I had been contemplating.
Yeah, I live in a mild climate and my previous house was in-ceiling electric resistance heating. We mostly just bundled up, but just for a lark, I set all the thermostats to 65 for the month of January to see how much it would cost. It was a bit over $1000.

We had the warmest attic on the block though, I'm sure.

In a truly free market this would happen naturally and slowly equalize the wages in America and elsewhere. Given that the US government exists though it can artificially limit this process and require visas and work permits or else tax businesses that flee offshore.

Outsourcing has costs on it's own but it makes sense for America to artificially inflate those costs to maintain its consumer market. America eats the world and through doing so provides a lot of liquidity to the international market. Whether that is just or whether it should specifically be America is up for debate - but it does have the power for force others to play by its rules within certain limits.

Bare naked capitalism isn't so far off from an anarchic free-for-all with spiked clubs.
