Occam implements a lot of similar ideas very neatly too. The code looks a lot like programming with Go channels and CSP. I am surprised it hasn't caught on better in the multi-core world, it being older than even Erlang.

The health secretary in the UK has just resigned after footage was leaked of him kissing his lover in his office. Remarkably, this government minister didn't know he was being spied on in his own office by facilities management. So, yes, surveillance can spectacularly backfire.
another possibility is to increase traffic, which I guess also increases ad revenue. It's a lot easier to tap an icon on your home screen than it is to open a browser and type in reddit and whichever subreddit you want to browse. The less friction there is, the more likely you are to be a daily user, driving their revenue.

I used a tool like this posted to HackerNews a couple years back (against my better judgement, eh), and the information on a few of the data brokers afterwards was not only not removed but actually showed a green checkmark ("verified").

It's entirely possible the data brokers are simply using the "opt out" requests as a way to validate the data, but it's just as likely that the tool works with the brokers to confirm information instead of actually removing it.

The point about skill is absolutely key.

Two types of engineer now exist:
Those that are largely "code monkeys" implementing features using high level tooling and guard rails and those that are responsible for building that tooling and low level components. FWIW I've met plenty of engineers even from FAANG companies with fairly limited exposure to writing performant software.

Over time, the former bucket has grown significantly as barriers to entry have dropped but this has led to extremely bloated and inefficient codebases. Deployment patterns like micro services running on container orchestration platforms mean that it's easier to scale bad code horizontally pretty easily and these "high level frameworks" are generally "good enough" in terms of latency per-request. So the only time efficiency ever becomes a concern for most companies are when cost becomes an issue.

It'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. I wouldn't be surprised if the huge incoming supply of unskilled engineers doesn't cause compensation to drop significantly in general.

> Health insurance is a commercial industry.

I can't tell whether you're saying "Health insurance in the US is a commercial industry right now" or "there's no such thing as health insurance that is not commercial."

The latter statement is not true. Medicare for all would be socialized insurance, as would any single payer plan. There are other kinds of socialized insurance you can find in other countries.

The former statement is mostly true with notable exceptions, so we'll assume that's what you mean. You may not be aware there is socialized insurance in the US, though: Medicare and other state programs (and again, the vast majority of Democratic officeholders supported expanding access to that to everyone in 2010 via what was called the "public option" at the time, unfortunately they needed every last D Senator and Lieberman held out). There are also some non-profit private insurers.

> these companies are getting paid tens of millions of dollars. They are INCs.

The money flowing through these companies is not the problem. Getting paid to provide valuable services is not a problem. Even if you had a magic wand that you could wave that made Bernie king and M4A a reality, you would still need to employ people to source revenue for the general insurance fund, provide good financial stewardship over it, manage relationships with competent providers, provide service to people like you and I, etc etc. You'd have to pay all those people. Like Medicare already has to (and hires private parties to help).

It's likely that entirely socializing insurance would cut down on overhead (and certainly on any profit taking), but the thing is... that's already been limited. By who? Well... these Democrats you're suggesting are somehow primarily responsible for nurturing insurers. Where did this happen? The Affordable Care Act required insurance companies to reveal how they spend consumer premiums, and spend 80% of those premiums on care and efforts to improve quality of care. What companies can take in operating expenses and profits is limited by law to 20%.

Did you know that? If you didn't, why are you so confidently holding forth on this topic? If you did, why are you insisting on repeating the line that Democrats don't care and in fact are responsible for increasing expenses and capture of revenue?

> They do have regulatory capture

They have representation and influence in a democratic system. Arguably too much? Yeah. What's your plan for that?

> mostly given to them by the Democratic Party.

Again, you're welcome to lay out your model of how the democrats are responsible. If it's really limited to "other people in the party thought they'd make a better candidate/President than Bernie", though, you might want to see if you can come up with something stronger. And while you're at it, maybe start to admit at least to yourself that maybe you have some more to learn about this topic.

In terms of cuisine, America is not really homogeneous. I mean, even a relatively moderate change from LA to SF means a change from heavy Hispanic influence to more Asian. Or a change from SF to Portland and you get a lot more traditional 'American' (which really means Northeastern, since the South, Southwest, and California is very different foodwise), but with a heavy 'natural' emphasis.

Certainly, we have access to the same stuff, and many of us enjoy similar food, but I mean, Californians put avocado on everything, and you're not going to get Gumbo in Seattle.

America has a national food culture that kind of exists on top of the local one.

I expect we'll have one or more protocols enforcing end-to-end route verification at the packet level on most Internet routers by 2050, so I'm not sure how anonymous any Internet served over that infrastructure will be. I expect bans will be much more effective, international traffic will have much more advanced filtering and blocking, and that proxying will basically be illegal without some kind of business arrangement and being subject to surveillance & ban-supporting laws (and anyway, proxying weird traffic will get you banninated by the entire "legitimate" Internet, much faster than it does now).
Maybe it's time for shit like hiding scrollbars to be opt-in. I bet there are great use-cases for messing with scrolling, or right-click, or the back button, or whatever else. I bet there are benevolent websites that make downright acceptable use of these things. But this is not the hot path. There is far more abuse than good-use, yet I don't know any browser that does the right thing.
It sounds like they're disabling it because it's fundamentally broken on those microarchs, as they're citing memory ordering issues. So it's still a case of Intel admitting that their product as advertised is defective even if you don't apply the update.
> Real life is too complex to oblige by naive rules.

The comment section of a website is not real life. You don’t have “rights” here, you’re allowed to use the site according to its terms. The servers, this site are private property, and the owners get to set the rules.

So it’s not playing censor, it’s editorializing. You’re free to comment other places. I can and will choose sites that moderate voices that I don’t want to deal with.

You can say that, “we’ll, this will cause silos”, but this experiment of everyone making any comments they want and everyone having to listen is a failure. It has only further divided people because the internet comment section is not the place to convert and educate people, so people just get more entrenched. You’re unlikely to be swayed by this comment for example.

I for one am tired of it. I want comment sections that deal with people of a certain educational level, intelligence, and point of view. I don’t want to deal with incels, psychopaths, people without formal education etc.

If you think internet comments are a right and moderating them is censorship, then yes, I want your comments gone from the sites I want to use and where I go to have conversations with intelligent people.

You just read that the whole notion of object-oriented (or anything-oriented) programming has no merit, and are now asking me for examples where it has merit.

You are usually constrained to a particular language or, sometimes, mix of languages. You have access to a set of language features. Use them in any mix that solves the problem. If runtime polymorphism would be useful, use it. If arrays would be useful, use them. If recursion would be useful, use it. If compile-time type matching would be useful, use it.

they are not equivalent, and they couldn't be, shouldn't be, and won't be. Most engineering schools recruit after two years of highly theoretical education in mathematics and physics (classes préparatoires) and the level in mathematics and physics is much higher than the undergraduate level in the university.
You're being misled by the term "engineering school" which makes it sound like this is some practical / technical education, when it's in fact the exact opposite.

I'm aware :) My HP Veer had a funny "feature" where after some inactivity it would reload the page when you then scrolled it.

It depends though on the content page and on how slow the network is exactly, doesn't it? I often enough preferred to have the text already and decide based on that whether to wait for the images. Async with non-jumping base content (which the core web vitals also cover) is great for that.

And with it being a browser feature, even if Google pushes for it the user can always deactivate it. On real browsers at least.
Honestly, just one thing, and I only need to go back to the early 90s.

Just before the Internet was opened to commercial use in the mid 90s, would've made a perpetual prohibition of advertising over the Internet. Ads are what have ruined everything.

Take just about anything unpleasant about the Internet today and it is either directly a consequence of ads, or an indirect consequence of someone trying hard to make you see ads.

Ask HN: Non-Subscription Paid Software Recommendations
Hi HN,

Does anyone have suggestions for great software (ideally crafted by a small indie team, but, anything is fine) that you've paid for that does NOT involve a subscription or various kinds of in-app monetization?

I'm thinking of gems like Sublime Text, etc - which are really good for a single task and where you can buy a lifetime license for a reasonable price. Ideally multiplatform, but, Windows or Linux only is fine as well.
Extremely interesting articles. Thanks
This may have been true when Win10 just came out, but it isn't anymore. You can schedule your updates (and if you don't, they try to schedule them for you in non-use hours), there are ways to bypass the MS account creation and just use a local account, I haven't seen an ad in my start menu in ages, even after multiple large system updates and there is not a single reference to Cortana in my Task Manager or Services (I turned Cortana off in settings).

Granted, I'm aggressive at turning off startup items, managing what services run on boot, and so on, but my point is, each of the things you mention may have been true at one time, but they are not necessarily true today.

edit to note: I'm not defending Microsoft's use of dark patterns, they definitely do push them out and then sometimes back off if there is enough pushback. And that is bad, and should be called out. Just aiming for accurate information here.

The alternative is that life is made very easy for dystopian, privacy-invading companies like Clearview AI. Really I find this a lot less galling than on somewhere like Reddit, where most content isn't so personal.
I'm glad we now have a name for this. If I may take a stab at a more formal, reusable definition of the Fuck You pattern:

A UI pattern whereby content a user wants is provided, then yanked away before it can be consumed, to be replaced by a demand for something the site wants (log in, sign up, subscribe, pay, etc). It's distinct from merely providing a limited amount of content in the first place, as when a site offers 3 articles for free before requiring payment.

1. Prevent protocols to cross layer boundaries. FTP, SIP, etc. are application protocols, yet they use ports and IP addresses for identification of endpoints. They break if the transport layer does something they did not anticipate (e.g. NAT). NAT is not evil, nor broken. Protocols not respecting layer boundaries are broken.

2. Make use of DNS SRV records for all services. Why HTTP must be on port 80? Why not consult DNS to resolve the port too? Pretty much related to my first point.
Can we just do this now anyway?

Also I like that ycombinator becomes "ycombninator".
We do not sell data. We are not a data broker.

People sign up with us to see what information data brokers are posting about them online, and then are provided with free and paid options to opt out and have themselves removed.

Yes - you could manually look up your info at each site listed under "which data brokers are covered by each plan?" - which would take you many, many hours, or you could create an account with Optery and have us do it for you automatically.

The data brokers most likely already have info on you. There is a catch22 where in order to opt out, you have to tell them who you are. Other services use your own private email address to submit the opt outs. We do not share your private email address with any third party, including the data brokers we submit opt outs to.
Best part, it is all conveniently grouped on a single site unmarred by useful content so you can easily just ignore it all without anxiety you are going to miss out on something important.
A VC publicly saying "I don't spend money on coke" as a marketing tactic and then getting busted doing just that would make the news. Much like a coin that claims "this coin is stable and its value is tied to USD" getting looted and crashing to $0 also makes the news.
