Something I'm wondering is how this will affect Europe's ability to attract and retain top tier talent.

Europe already seems to be losing to the US. Will this accelerate this brain drain or slow it? [0]

To be fair, any bank can freeze your account for any reason.

You can mitigate this somewhat by having accounts with multiple banks, but even then they can all be frozen at once. The benefit of a traditional bank is at least you can show up with an ID and beg for your money.

Chime does indeed market to those who aren't financially doing great, but it's a very complicated situation. Everyone should have a minimum of 3 months in living expenses saved, but very few do
Maybe the Brexiteers were right all along.
Does setting the size inline with width="250" in the embed affect the LCP even if G decides to default to 512px? I'm actually surprised there's not a ?width=250 value in the G embed url

Well, they have a better voting track record than the US vis-à-vis citizens vs politicians, so I guess the answer world be No if the US is authoritarian but Yes if it is democratic.
I think that is good intuition. The transverse force is the second derivative of the transverse position, to first order. But then there are higher order effects in it. I think that is where that math breaks down.
not so niche. That's a really terrific use for them. Hardlinks are hampered compared to symlinks because they can't be used for directories (which seems just a really silly limitation). It would be awesome to be able to roll up and mirror entire directory trees.
Which part of GDPR does it violate?
I can't imagine a situation when you don't trust getRandomValues, but trust touch/mouse inputs. If your getRandomValues is untrusted, why would you trust the whole JS runtime that implements it? If you think there's a Debian-like bug with the system PRNG, then you can't even trust the TLS connection that downloaded your JS code.

Heh, I was thinking about the entitlement in the normal sense, but forgot it'd probably read as eNtITLEMenT in the internet meme/political meme sense.
Legitimately terrifying that a new surveillance state can be announced and nobody knows if it's satire or not.
I've been binging Adam Curtis documentaries recently, and the unifying thread has been the rise of individualism and its being coopted by commerce. In a discussion regarding HyperNormalization [1], he argued that we're beginning to realize how shallow this individualism is, and religion will rear its head at some point to fill this void.

It’s a bit early to give up already.
1. this seems to be misinformation, the author is the only source on the topic

2. it would probably be compatible with GDPR anyway. GDPR article 6, paragraph 1: "Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies [...] (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject"
TIL. Hadn't heard the phrase before.
Unlike in high school where the grade percentages are pre determined. ie a 90% is the cutoff for an A and it is expected that students will score that or higher, College professors see that as making the test too easy with the potential of having too many students get A's. Instead they will make the test longer or harder such that the best grade is 60/100 and the average grade is around 40. The will then scale things such that the top 10% get A, 20% B etc.

Sometime the prof screws up and the test is too hard where the aveage grade is 30. Sometimes some over-achieving git 'busts the curve' and scores a 95 and the next highest grade is a 60 - making it hard for the prof to justify giving A's to the top 10%
quite a personal set of projections you have gathered there, maybe you should become a barista?
For everything the EU does that's unpleasant, the UK government tends to have a more unpleasant version they are eager to deploy against their own people, and now they can due to Brexit.

Of course that's not how they portray it, but doublespeak has been strong around Brexit and still is.

It never made much sense to Brexit if you were in the UK and favoured personal, family or human rights. Including rights like privacy and a protected private life, and freedom to make open source software (EU is against software patents, UK is not).
If I hand something in plaintext to another private party, I already assumed they are legally within their rights to read it. It's on me to encrypt if I don't want it read.
Do I hear "containers are a temporary fad"?
It should be noted that this allows for the continuation of voluntary scanning and reporting to CSAM that some companies do for all messages that goes via their platforms.

This is also a temporary legislation that will be in place until a long term legislation is in place.

Regardless of that I do think this legislation is bad.
Robocop and Starship Troopers were criticizing ideology and norms that are widely yet unconsciously accepted in America. That's why they're good.

Anti-rival sniping is comparatively boring and we're all steeped in it all the time, anyways. It's the furthest thing from counterculture.
Sounds accurate from my experience working in fintech (crypto, not banking, but subject to many the same regulations). We would literally have customers with dozens of transactions referring to drug deals, close their account (as required by both federal law and our banking partners), and then have them go around filing complaints and starting reddit threads about how bad we are for closing their account. You can't take complaints like this at face value without knowing the full story (even if people complain to the media).

The reality in the US is that financial institutions are liable for detecting any and all illegal activity on their platforms, reporting it to FinCEN, and closing accounts. If you fail to do this you lose your money transmission licenses and/or banking partnership. Depending on the exact nature of the issue, holding customer money hostage can even be a legal requirement.

Scaling up support at fintech companies is definitely hard, and certainly the companies can and should do a better job of this. But dealing with the regulatory burden is also crazy difficult, and many folks doing shady stuff (fraud, drugs, money laundering, CP, etc etc) are more likely to use the newer platforms.

Real banks often just don't have to deal with this as much, because they make you sign up in person, with ID, and ask you all sorts of questions about your source of income etc up front. However, real banks can and do also close customer accounts (used to be very common for folks who bought crypto with their checking account, for example).
More end to end encryption use only means more laws banning encryption faster.

Or do you really think that when for example DoH gains wider adoption all the countries using DNS based blocking will go "Oh well guess the techies got us".
The question with these engines is how scalable they are. This is in terms of team size, ease of use, project size and complexity, editor performance/scalability, runtime performance, quality of presentation...

Unreal, Unity, CryEngine, Frostbite etc. have shown that they are tools capable of supporting huge productions. This means that the engine teams have invested a lot of work to remove a lot of barriers that the game teams ran up against when scaling their productions up. New users now get to profit from that when they start out on one of these engines.

As far as I know, Godot hasn't been thrown into that particular gauntlet yet (please correct me if I'm wrong here!). From experience with complex projects like this, I can tell you that you will always find new bugs when you stress them in novel ways. For a game production, this means that you take on a higher risk that you need to dive into the engine and bend it to your will, costing engineering resources.
Well, the code could've still been GPLed after. The BSD license allows it.

Friendly reminder that WhatsApp is far out: it uploads all data unencrypted to at least one cloud if on of the participants have backups enabled.

So Signal, Matrix or possible Threema (I don't know it) is in.

Personally though, I use Telegram and I drive an ordinary car, not an armored one.
Most likely a bug. Even if they decide to decommission old.reddit.com at some point, they will at least redirect to reddit.com if only to avoid SEO penalty.
I am trying to work out the level of (useless?/unnecessary?) churn in the world of startups / digital transformation / world.

So, yes the Internet is great - it connects what 5 billion adults now, and allows faster finding of the things you want etc. But there is soooo much ... of this stuff. I am guessing that "Digital marketing for the Rental market" means you have a house to let, and you want to list it with these people and their five competitors because you might miss out because who knows where one's audience really looks.

Now we could talk about disaggregation of AiBnB as a positive thing, but really - no, lets not.

What we can talk about is there is a bare minimum of cost / effort we can imagine here. Call it a Craigslist for the whole internet. Want to sell something - just find the right RDF tuple and list it. A search engine can find it and anyone searching for "house to rent in London" or "new pair trainers" will have a complete JSON list to walk through - sortable by price, location, availability etc etc.

Now this is not something I think should exist, but if it did it would still have a cost to operate. But we could measure the unnecessary churn by comparing the actual cost (in people, dollars, time etc) of things like RentPath to this bare minimum.

I expect there are Economics PhDs on this, but it struck me as interesting.
From the linked article, "If you're not using systemd, the vanilla Linux kernel does not enable these protections by default"

Don't overthink this.

If you put a computer in a room with a hot babe, a 3 layer chocolate cake, a bottle of the finest whisky or bourbon, the keys to a Porsche, and a trillion dollars in cash, what would it do?

Yeah, nothing. The computer is not in the world.

Black people made up 26.6% of 2019 arrests according to FBI data.[1] And arrests and crimes aren't the same. Few wage thieves are arrested for example.

They are. The last several(!) cases I've seen of people complaining Chime killed their accounts got (possibly fraudulent) PPP loans funneled into their accounts.
I agree there is a moral hazard / perverse incentive when it comes to alarmism, especially in politics (eg, specious references to "mushroom clouds" in the run-up to the Iraq invasion).

But as good Bayesians, we also have to consider the opposite case: crises and "black swan" events do happen. How do we filter signal from noise? We probably could have benefitted from more "enlightened alarmism" re: COVID in Jan/Feb 2020, when billions in preventative measures could have saved trillions to world GDP (and millions of lives).

It's a double-bind politically: given a non-trivial long-term risk, how does one frame its urgency? A calm and measured tone spurs little action (the unsqueaky wheel doesn't get the grease); a tone of urgency and panic bypasses badly-needed rational faculties, and/or flips the "bullshit detectors" based on the history of proverbial boys crying wolf.

While I'm not opposed to FDR-ish green infrastructure plans, the answer from economists is undramatic and uncontroversial [0]: tax the externality to establish a price signal, and return the dividend back to citizens, whose consumption behaviors then change in response to those signals [1].

Of course, we've had to contend with decades of FUD from vested O&G interests, no different than the tobacco cancer debacle [2], despite having had credible evidence for AGW since the late 70's. I'm happy to concede the potential for scientific groupthink and perverse Big Government incentives on the green side, so long as we're also acknowledging the enormous financial incentives for muddying the waters (uncertainty = inaction = status quo = profit).

That secrecy really only works for the 90-99% of people they want to keep out who would be showing up at their door for "lookey-loo" purposes.

Every nation-state actor knows where every datacenter is of every major digital player, because they've already implanted spies in those companies and the location maps of those datacenters are not internally secret. It'd be very hard to make them internally secret, since those DCs communicate with the rest of the network and must be controlled in realtime by site reliability engineers.
From the article:

> According to police data, in the vast majority of cases, innocent citizens come under suspicion of having committed an offence due to unreliable processes

With this being said, what is the rationale for this?

Its worth noting however, that the current legislation "allow[s] providers of e-mail and messaging services to automatically search all personal messages of each citizen for presumed suspect content and report suspected cases to the police" but does not mandate it yet.
You keep insinuating that you are not a denier, but really, you are. Climate change is going to rip through society like a wrecking ball. At the very least, massive crop failures are going to result in a global starvation crisis. This is absolutely the truth of the situation, but you dismiss it: “affective/emotional.”

You turn to apathetic nihilism because your only alternative is panic. I myself have turned to opt-out nihilism—I try not to own stuff, don’t have progeny, looking to isolate on a small farm. Greta seems to be on a much better track: trying to influence the people who can make the decisions that will improve the outcomes. Maybe you should give it a shot.

There's no privacy on the internet.
Yeah the problem is too many smart people, not the fucked up financial systems, terrible education systems, degenerate media cycles and huge bureaucracy, but that too many people are too smart.

Yeah let’s make sure we have an underclass of uneducated people so they don’t notice any of the problems, that will make sure there is less “political instability”.
I wish recruitment platforms would start classifying the level of remoteness instead of a blanket remote allowed statement.

These days remote often means work from home due to COVID in the time zone of the physical office. Presumably won't be remote forever.

Remote used to mean people would be working asynchronously, and it didn't matter where you were physically situated and what hours of the day you were online. Obviously this only tends to work for places that are results driven as opposed to ones that care about the number of hours you put in.
There is an obvious solution, do not send emails to gmail addresses.

GPG doesn’t solve the problem of metadata surveillance. One of the major problems with technological solutions to privacy problems is that metadata surveillance is extremely useful to begin with, and it’s hard to make communication anonymous.

I believe GP is referring to the EU 'forcing' the UK to put a border between Britain and Northern Ireland, because the EU wanted a hard border somewhere and wouldn't budge on that.
No, not at all. I’m suggesting that the level of structural abstraction is a problem precisely because it prevents people from directing their rage where it actually matters.
Everyone has been tricked into believing that the best use of their time is to "get the best job", and the "job" is working at a hyper-specialized set of tasks, day-in, day-out. They claw at each other like crabs, dismayed when they lose a position, elated when they eke out a few more dollars or gain an extra few days of free time as they shuffle jobs. On HN, there's an archetypal hero's ascendency crawl where you finally find that $300k product manager job and retire at 45 with crazy stock options.

It's a slave mentality. Do you believe that we, the people in society, set up the component parts of society and thus have the right to rebuild those component parts as it suits us, or do you believe that concepts like "jobs" and "laws" are naturally occurring phenomena that we are owned by?

I am immune to the siren call of endless improvements in the amount of money I receive. I have reached a high enough standard of living that I don't need any more goods or services than I already can get, and I'm not particularly rich as far as Americans go (about 65th percentile according to a recent income distribution calculator).

My goal is to convince as many people as I can to start thinking about what quality of life they would be satisfied with, figure out what labor and materials are required of them and their community to provide that quality of life, and then cut everything else out of the picture. We don't need the rat race, we don't need our elders worrying about how they'll afford the doctor, we don't need people working 80 hour weeks at minimum wage so they can afford a crappy apartment. We just need the materials and the labor.

The more people buy into "I've got to get the best job" mentality, the more impossible realizing any sort of overall improvement in our labor-time-to-reward ratio is.

(I know I sound like a communist, but I don't believe in the labor theory of value, and most self-described communists I talk to call me a right-wing extremist.)
One thing I've learned about bay area companies: You can never be too cynical; they'll almost always be way ahead of you.

The typical easy way is to have many "unfortunate mistaken outages". This is how Google via Maps and Mail handled Opera 6+ times (iirc), how Facebook handled Opera Mini 8+ times with the login javascript doing more and more esoteric things, etc etc.

I believe Firefox has witnessed something similar in the past few years couple of years with popular properties.

I wouldn't put it past the Reddit team to try to do something similar to push away people from their old, less monetizable interface.

Again, Brexit shows, imho, that you can’t have the boring stuff without the tight integration. There are no duties because taxes are harmonised. There are no import/export controls because norms are identical pan-EU.

The UK wanted to drop the tight integration and acceptance of common goals, but keep all the tax and trade benefits. But the logical hurdles turned out to be insurmountable. Want to sell fish tax-free? Well let us fish in your waters. Want to sell frictionless to our markets? Accept our standards. So what should the common ground be for digital services?

Initiatives like this, good or bad, represent the EU’s drive to combat big issues facing the world, and again need to be tackled for the EU to remain relevant; it can’t just stick to subsidising farming, that is so 1950s.

I spoke once to a senior economist (can’t remember the name sadly) who made a good point: EU is often compared to national governments, and looks sluggish by comparison. But the real comparisons would be to other enormous bureaucracies: US federal government, China, UN etc. And when you make this comparison, it is in fact quite favourable for the EU. Basically, scaling is hard, and the EU is not bad at it.
