Here: “Sony went to a judge, and bought their way to an injunction”. Better? I’m not accusing them of bribery, though I wouldn’t put it past them. Scratch our backs kind of thing. I hate Sony.
I hate this argument. It is so flawed.

When productivity increased, minimum wage earners do make more.

Overall productivity increases don't increase profits. They reduce prices! Workers make more because everything costs less.

If you increased minimum wage with productivity, it would eclipse the highest earners in a matter of decades. It makes no sense to do that.

In my opinion, once the video is added to my list, at least the name should become my data.

Also I seriously doubt that all those missing videos were requested to be deleted by the user. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of them were taken down by youtube's ridiculous and mostly broken takedown bots. There should be consequences for frivolous takedowns.
The lack of SLA/SLO/data sovereignty is an absolute non-starter. It's a decent idea but it lacks the necessary guarantees to get people to move off of their current provider (my $company included).
Almost nothing will beat WaPo's comprehensive collection of stats and visuals in response to the police shootings brouhaha [1] that told you just about everything except the most relevant detail: a total of just 38 unarmed Black people were killed by police in the US since 2014 [2]. There are approximately 10 million arrests per year in the US and countless more police encounters.

There is no shortage of contortions a media outlet will indulge in (on both sides) in order to brainwash you into accepting their politically-motivated narrative. It's egregious.

I've edited the title to try to make it less misleading. If anyone has a better title (i.e. more accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article itself), we can change it again.
> As recently as a decade ago, Linux was borderline unusable for a home computer. Lots of driver problems. Lack of software. [...] Linux as a whole basically assumes you already know everything you need to know about what you're doing.

This really doesn't match my experiences at all. Using Linux in 2008 was essentially the same as using Windows. I got my parents using Ubuntu in 2010 without complaints.

Instead of the "you have to know what you're doing" line that's been around for 30 years, I think the situation has been more "80% of the installs works perfectly" for a long time. But if you get hit by that 20%, from a driver issue or whatever, then expect a few days of debugging followed by constant hassles for the life of that machine.

And yeah, a lot of niche professional programs are Windows-only, so if you need them you're stuck. And gaming on Linux has been getting better, but only the chart-toppers and obscure indie games have actual Linux support with any regularity, with anything between those extremes rarely having any support.
I think you should also consider it the top result for anyone searching the name 'mobile nixos' - which means that even people who aren't your current target demo are going to go there to try to figure out what it is, and the current website fails spectacularly to do that.

First impressions really are important.
> BTW, one thing I don't want to see happen to any of these distros is for PinePhone to be the only actually solid device.

I share the same concern. I've been elevating the different platforms about equally. This is why there's so many "unfinished" ports. They are approximatively at equal support, but the crucial thing is that I helps me validate assumptions. I wrote a bit about that on my personal blog[0].

In fact, it's caused some "concern" about the viability of Mobile NixOS as the Pinephone isn't any more "well supported" than other platforms, which means there's work to do still :).

Don't confuse a race with a culture. "White" is not a culture.
That's not the point here. The music companies all know that they make way more money on music that gets pirated than music that doesn't; lots of studies have borne that out. The point of this ruling is that it lets them extract money from people who DON'T have a relationship with an infringing party. The neighbor of the kid who downloaded the torrent.
He was a founder. His investment was not just financial. When he invested, he was not ultra rich. So a loss would have been significant.

That is really interesting ...

We deploy our storage with a 2U "head unit"[1] that has the actual computer and all of the SSDs for boot and SLOG and L2ARC and "zfs special"[2] devices. Then we attach 60-drive JBODs externally to those "head units".

With this dual-front design you could have 24 2.5 drives in the first row and 12 3.5 drives in the second row and that would really be helpful when we sometimes need to quickly spin up an adjacent zpool without attaching another whole JBOD.

Sadly, I do not see any configurations with 2.5" drives on the Dell config page:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-poweredge-servers/...

If one row was 24x 2.5 drives and the other was 12x 3.5 drives I think we would start deploying these immediately ...

EDIT: Huh ... even the two, rear, boot drives are 3.5" which is sort of weird and gratuitous ...

It would be nice to get a more frequent and more transparent valuation on global wealth than the credit Suisse annual report. Then we can just follow the monetary unit which is just a ratio to the total number. So microsoft is approximately 0.4% currently.
This number is essentially independent of inflation.
Oh man. Wish I had known this earlier. Maybe I would’ve jumped on the bandwagon. Moskovitz has to be worth between $10-30B with Facebook nearing a trillion market cap. $7.5-$10M daily stock purchases is nothing for him. He could do it for 60 total days without affecting him financially at all.

I think it is correct that, without unusual precautions, Dropbox should not be counted as a distinct backup copy for satisfying the 3-copies rule. I've "lost" (had to restore from personal backup drives) data from Dropbox due to an error made by their support staff during a mass rollback, which was itself needed due to the Dropbox client interpreting a drive disconnection as a mass file deletion. (This was before they implemented mass rollback through the UI; it's a safer process now.) And this is fine. Dropbox does file synchronization, which means it propagates data loss as well as intentional changes.
People pay 5$ for Starbucks Latte when they can make coffee (maybe better even) at home in 5 mins. It is laziness, convenience etc. Or simply, one less thing to think about (assuming m3o's service works well etc), which alone is a good enough reason to pay for it.
I think this is just an excuse to keep users locked to the App Store.
Yeah, it could be more secure to some extent but Apple’s walled garden isn’t unbreachable. There were cases that scum and fraud entered the stores.

I’d say that Apple’s approach makes the users more ignorant of security issues. Because they assume that their device 100% which isn’t possible.

I don’t understand why they are limiting the advanced users so much ?
If I bought iPad Pro that means I am an advanced enough user to know what kind of apps I need and I can avoid problematic apps. The iPad Pro has Mac level CPU - M1 Chip. Why shouldn’t users be able to leverage it fully ?

Programming isn’t really possible on a iPad just because of this BS

Also, a lot of the features iOS got are inspired by the jailbreak community. And even on macs there are apps that really offer big improvements to usability like bettersnap or bettertouchtool.
Likewise just because an inline size was optimal on one architecture doesn't mean it is optimal going forward with larger average cache sizes, etc. A JIT can adapt, while wasm is stuck.
The problem is not Peter Thiel. it's not rich people. It's the fact that our elected legislature has created a nightmare boondoggle of a tax code. Rich people have the resources to hire CPAs to dig through tens of thousands of pages of tax law and create strategies to use the law to their advantage. If the law were simple, there would be no way to do this kind of gamesmanship.

Personally, I think that we should ditch the entire tax code, set a flat income tax rate - a single rate that applies to everyone and every kind of income - and a standard deduction of say, 1.5x - 2x of whatever "poverty level" income is.

Such a system is triple-progressive: first, high income earners pay more because x% of a lot of income is a lot bigger than x% of a little income. It's progressive in that poor people pay nothing due to the standard deduction, and middle income earners pay a pittance for the same reason. And it's progressive in that it eliminates all loopholes so there's no way for high earners to game it. But it only works if you eliminate all deductions and special income treatments including the sacred cows (mortgage deduction and capital gains).

Of course this is fantasy; lobbyists for CPAs and for attorneys would never support anyone who voted for this kind of simplification.

And, Congress would f** it up immediately by restarting the "let's use the tax code to reward our donors and punish our enemies" process.

Sigh.
The Pentagon does what it's told.
>The fact that you consider all activities queer folk do to be adjacent to politics is so frustrating.

First of all I want to make clear I do not think this and never said this. But yes, many would consider LGBT groups to be a "politically adjacent topic" (to quote myself), just as groups like gun enthusiasts or crime watch networks would be. If literacy became a political hot topic then yes, book clubs would be politically adjacent too.

No one here is arguing Facebook or anyone else should consider your particular LGBT group 'political' though because it clearly is not.

>The core of the issue is when you have political figureheads very carefully craft a narrative where all LGBT existence is political.

In fact the "core" of this entire post, topic, and thread is Facebook censorship, not political narratives around LGBT issues. I share your opinion that even modern liberal society is way behind on the issue you bring up, but that's all the more reason to distrust labeling by FB. So sorry for the confusion, but I'm glad we agree groups like yours should not be censored.
Again you're right. Though the problem is that NixOS itself still doesn't have the answer for this question. So it's less about "Why Mobile NixOS?" and more "Why NixOS?".

Mobile NixOS is intended to be strictly a supserset composed on top of NixOS. So the question should be answered the same, except you add "for your mobile devices" at the end.

That's a good point that hadn't occurred to me before. It would not be surprising if whoever made the final decision to fire him did it for that reason.

I've got an ultrawide and it doesn't require that at all; moving the start menu to the center to compensate for bad mouse speed settings is like reducing display resolution to compensate for bad text/icon size settings.

Literally all boarding schools up until like the 1950s. You realize that kids were dropping like flies before the 50s, right? Many US presidents had children who died of the flu. Coolidge, Lincoln, Eisenhower, and more. The school in question was around for 70 years. That's 3 deaths a year, including the 1918 pandemic.

These places were definitely fucked up cultural genocide factories, but let's suddenly forget about child mortality
No, that doesn't work. If anybody could say what should happen globally, and nobody would argue about it, then we wouldn't need courts and borders. The whole point of courts and borders and jurisdictions is to resolve disputes. We wouldn't have copyright law if there weren't copyright disputes. So you can't just say "if any court anywhere decides something, it should apply globally." Because the next court over, in the next jurisdiction, can rule the opposite way. What then?
What a cool idea. It's like the sun from Super Mario.

it seems we approach government power and the role of government from inverse positions

Your post seems to have the connotation of a "guilty until proven innocent" type of world view, where I must prove that I would not be a danger to others or would not fly a drone outside of my own back yard

That is not what I would consider a free society, I do not need to prove I will refrain from harming others in order to engage in a transaction to buy something, there are all kinds of every day products that could be (and have been) used in very violent ways, we do not have regulations on their sale.

In a free society a government needs a clear, articulable reasonable suspicion that an individual is going to cause harm to others. Not just a general suspicion that someone somewhere may cause harm. An application of general suspicion would not be a free society but rather an extremely Authoritarian society
This article seems woefully out of date:

1. It starts with an anecdote about a CIA director in the mid 90s. Umm, yeah, if you have access to top secret info, I would be very careful about mixing work and personal content.

2. It talks about how much of a pain it can be if you have to wipe your personal data off your laptop when you return it. I may be somewhat unusual for the HN crowd but not for the population at large but virtually all the data I care about lives on a few cloud services, and backing up a few trivial files (like my updated zsh config) is easy.

I just always have one personal Chrome window for any personal stuff, and a separate Chrome window with my work account. Totally easy to keep things separated that way.
To some people it's more like 20 or 30 laptops, and is certainly "king's ransom" territory.
Cloud storage is convenient, as one can then access it from any device. It's great to use as a temporary backup when traveling.

But not as a backup strategy.

Hey, question.

On one of my twitter accounts where I tweet about my suicidal ideations, when I start a tweet to "@coffee", twitter's autocomplete returns the first suggestion as "Death Wish Coffee".

This doesn't happen on my other twitter accounts.

Am I noticing a pattern that is possibly indicative of psychosis? Or is twitter's pattern matching algo matching up my "death wish" (discussions of suicidal ideation) with "death wish coffee"? Or, perhaps there is some other explanation?

Good luck finding a color printer old and serviceable enough to use that doesn't print tracking dots.

Also, they're so rare now that it would be circumstantial proof of use if a color page lacked tracking dots and readily matched with the printer.

Your best bet for printing something without being caught is a burner printer: pay someone else to buy a printer out-of-state in a store with cash, do your business, and toss it.

Me too. Proton is amazing, it’s really lowered the barrier to entry for gaming on Linux. For the most part, people can totally avoid having to mess with wine themselves.

But the shares truly were worth basically nothing at founding. If he made the contribution for tax year 1998, then they hadn't even raised any money and therefore there was zero external valuation.

Anyone can found a company with a $1 market cap and have full ownership from their one dollar investment. But it's meaningless unless they turn that into an actually valuable company with a market cap in the billions. Thiel just got exceptionally lucky, in addition to a bunch of hard and smart work.

I think this is a concept a lot of us struggle with when imagining the extreme wealth of the most elite tech entrepreneurs. Bezos, Gate, Zuck, and the rest all started with worthless companies and had substantial ownership as founders. Their wealth came from turning those large stakes in worthless companies into slightly smaller stakes into companies worth hundreds of billions.
I know how you feel, I just completed and released a beta version of my latest indie product. There were definitely ups and downs on the road.

My recommendation is that what you work on has to have deep purpose and meaning to you. My recently released product is a productivity app that I had to build for myself. Once I started using it, it was game changer for me. Next step was to productize and make it available for others.

The point is what you work on as your side project has to have a clear payoff to yourself. That will drive you, and pull you forward.

Good luck!
That title is total garbage . HN is becoming reddit.
That's the assertion Sony makes, but that doesn't actually make it true. Quad9 doesn't do any blocking, Quad9 relies entirely upon third-party expert malware analysts to define the blocks. Quad9 only decides what _not_ to block. Also, Quad9 blocks the same malware and phishing everywhere, because we don't know who or where users are. So Sony asserts that this is possible, but they certainly don't demonstrate how it could be done, much less who would pay for it.

If the only problem is poverty, then pay the parents $1600/mo to take care of the kid. If that sounds weird, it's about how much foster homes receive per child. We have[1] a system in place that continues to take children from parents in poverty, and then delivers them to a broken foster system; paying more than my monthly child expenses. Handing money to the parents instead has the same monetary cost, but has a chance to break the cycle of needlessly tearing families apart.

"Cloud backup is a stupid idea. At any moment it could go dark, for any reason, and you have no recourse."

I've seen enough HackerNews articles:

2. A hacker guessed my password and deleted my online presence! It's all gone!

Yea, that sounds about right. I think I recall being a support rep for trading software in college and I've interacted with those front line workers for a long time now so I have a lot of empathy for them.

They are just people trying to do their job and I don't recall a single support rep that wasn't just trying to do their job well. People are complicated and socializing is hard, especially when it's not in person. What we do is almost always not life and death. We shuffle bits around between computers, we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously. There is no reason people can't be nice to each other in these interactions.

Why not as a backup strategy? I had my desktop harddrive fail and while I had some local backups but the cloud backup restored me to almost the minute of the failure. The only downside to cloud backup is the slow restore process.
