The difference between 'keeping up in a fast-changing market' and 'failing to focus on your core market' is often only obvious with hindsight.

Google's launch of Google+ to keep up with Facebook was a huge waste of time, resources and goodwill. It had nothing to do with their core search and e-mail products, except for sharing ads/tracking.

On the other hand, Google's acquisition of Youtube was a genius move that's massively paid back, even though it had nothing to do with their core search and e-mail products, except for sharing ads/tracking.

So you don't just need to change to keep up - you need a specific type of change and it's not always easy to know what that is :)

Not the authorities perhaps, but it is already happening in some degree: Windows Defender sending “samples” or unknown binaries to the cloud to analyze them. I am extremely bothered by this and try to disable this “feature” as much as possible. As always with Windows, you have to aggressively tweak system settings to permanently disable the constant reminders “Oops we have detected suboptimal settings, please turn on every privacy invading feature for your convenience”. We can only hope MS doesn’t abuse the samples for other purposes, but given their and other big techs track record, we can assume there are additional parties interested in the submissions.

I was also curious about the seeds; I googled and read about eight different articles about this project, several mentioned that they were native, but I couldn’t find anything more specific than “grasses and flowers.”

I have no idea what kind of tree can grow from seeds that are simply scattered, although I suppose I have seen some willows that grew from discarded branches(!).
I mean, okay, it's the program's fault. But it is part of the trade-off you make using musl, and one that I, personally, wouldn't decide in its favor.

As the user, you have the choice to use musl and "battle quite a few portability issues" (whether that's the program's fault or not!) or to use glibc and not have to battle. If the benefits of musl outweigh that in your opinion, then go ahead. I don't see it.

Yes. Annoying some people is only an externality. It's cheaper to apply those techniques to everyone, even if the actual target is a small subset of people vulnerable to being exploited.

But, as always, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Just because it works, doesn't mean it's right.
Seems you weren't in good standing.
Our, Norway's, economy has already recovered to pre-COVID levels. We have never needed a lock down. We expect to have 95% of the eligible over 18s fully vaccinated before the end of October.

We have never been forbidden from travelling abroad, just advised against, always been able to return. Now that I am fully vaccinated I can return without having to quarantine, without tests, I don't even have to fill in a passenger locator form.

We have never had any violent protests, or violent reactions to protests, about COVID restrictions.

It seems to me that reducing performance to a single dimension is counter productive both literally in GDP terms and qualitatively on a personal level.

I'm not sure why they don't just create a business version branded separately from their gaming product. Even if it's just 'Discord for Business' a second client for business would solve almost all these problems. It's written in Electron, there wouldn't be millions of lines of code to change to enable a second branding and different ports.

They refused $12bn takeover bid from Microsoft?! That's brave.

Not they are worth $15bn? It is crazy valuation for the chat app that's basically gaming version of Slack. I always thought Slack would purchase Discord and make it its "Gaming division" chat app.
you cant leapfrog fossil fuels. Wind and solar require backup from either gas, oil, coal or nuclear or it wont be able to provide energy all the time. All you are doing is creating a much more expensive system and you are not getting rid of fossil fuel. Furthermore do you knoe how much fossil fuels goes into building windmills and solar cells? Both from a material and manufacturing perspective.

We are not getting of fossil fuels anytime soon.

These are completely different situations. Wanting glibc compat on Alpine is not an unusual requirement, unlike your "alpine-goofy" image, and the bugs it introduces are subtle and may not show up at all in some use-cases.

Believe it or not, a lot of developers aren't aware we have different libc implementations at all, the "exec format error" or "file not found" errors alpine spits out already create a lot of support burden.

A cost driven incentive can still be viable. It needs to be accompanied by practical replacement solutions. For example, if driving cars becomes too expensive for people, then public transport needs investments and needs to cover more ground, to help people out.
Found this quote to capture the essence of the article:

The main point of the article in not about making good covers. It's about using covers that match - sometimes marginally - your interest even if it's not a main part of the movie, misrepresenting the content of the movie to make you click on it. Clickbait.

The Lebowski example was just that: he likes action and Netflix presents to him the "action" thumb for the movie - even if the movie is not exactly John Wick.

Apple at software is quite bad. For 10years+ their maps and majority of their toolings are weaker than the competitors. Starting their own search engine is just like starting their own ping that try to compete with FB back when Steve was still around. I think the next 10 years we will start to see Apple sputtering. Most of their revenue can be traced to Steve foresight 10 years ago. Apple now is mimicking others like trying to create car and streaming videos.

I wonder about that too. Of course, the Netflix in-house productions will be getting extra promotion; but setting those aside, I fail to understand why Netflix promotes (e.g.) romcoms to me; I don't watch romcoms. I've never given Netflix any signal that I favour romcoms.

I can only suppose that some motivation other than giving subscribers what they want must be at the root of it.

Some of the posts that I made post-shadowban were let through, and some were only removed after they had been up for several hours and gained replies. So it looks like they were manually deleting my posts.

r/sverige on the other hand is run by a really angry uncle who probably doesn't like most people.

What would happen if I block the mods? I won’t see anymore stuff from their subreddit or anything?
The German Facebook clone back in the day was called StudiVZ which means "Student's directory". This was before social media and was more of a social network. Everything you put in there you do because you want it to be public, like your number in a telefone directory. It was almost a pure platform for self-presentation, like MySpace or LinkedIn.

I'm well aware of "more is different" aka the dialectic transform of quantity in quality. Lots of data that in individually innocent can be problematic if somebody amasses it. But especially for this reason I think it is not good to have these kind of semi-public spaces where the data is public and the only protection is it is cumbersome to collect. Public data should be clearly public, and private data should be clearly private, and the UX should be really clear so people know what is happening.

(By the way, I'm not even sure CA was a "scandal" or that it was bad for FB. I think the only effect was that FB used it to justify locking down their API more.)
It has certainly evolved to be pretty complicated. You have whatever libc chooses to do with getaddrinfo(), nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf, systemd-resolved, various pieces of software (docker, vpns, wsl), and so on, all trying to control the local resolver.
I'm not sure how you think investment works. He is not donating his money to SpaceX and it disappears. If the government contracts increase the value of SpaceX it is increasing his investment.
Sometimes, if you're very, very lucky, the moderators will take a look at the posts automod deleted and then manually approve them, which still lets them through. When verifying this, make sure you use an incognito browser tab to see what's actually been deleted. It's all very user-hostile, but should be noted that HN does similar.
People sure love to generalize their experience. No, I wouldn't. I've gotten plenty of value out of it without incurring whatever costs you did which make you so sure your experience is universal.
> With QKD you only have to trust that the person you want to talk to is on the other side of the quantum link you've established

I can see how that would be an easy thing to trust if the only people capable of building such a link are your fellow scientists, but in a scenario where this technology becomes common, is it reasonable that users would ever be able to verify who is listening at the other end?

If not, what’s the use case?
Ironically Chrome is the most secure(not talking privacy) browser, because of site isolation and sandbox architecture. Firefox is somewhere second.
The fact that a downstream image is popular doesn’t make it sane for upstream to want to literally block its existence via code changes.
If you work in finance sectors and then also in engineering sectors, you will know there is 2 standards of law enforcement. Anything bad you do in finance including manslaughter will be lesser serious compare to what happen outside. So this happening isn't totally unexpected. Madoff himself was investigated many times and "let go". You try do that in a engineering firm with fraud of building a bridge or automobiles.

I like to imagine that if browser makers had collaborated better on standardising CSS hooks into the default widgets, we would not have seen such strong adoption of tools like bootstrap. We possibly would have had a different pathway through template+controller libraries too.

As a FED, I didn’t help. I rode the gravy train along with Backbone, Angular and React. I wish I had fought harder and spoken more eloquently on the practicality of a11y-first semantic mark-up and progressive enhancement.

Th thing I hate the most about the mentions-under-search bit is that it's so unintuitive. I had a couple of pings and I looked around everywhere trying to find them, and the removal of the very helpfully labelled "@" button pissed me off. I only found out the pings were under search after I read the changelog.

And for what? Discord stages are an absolute ghost town. The top ones are all "Talent shows" in bait servers. I don't mind changing UX as much as most people on HN, but changing UX to chase a fad that has already died out really grinds my gears.

They should compete, they have most of the features already. There's no rational reason to say no to all that SAAS money given that the products are so similar.

As far as I'm concerned it's pretty much a drop in replacement for slack. There's very little that slack does that I need that discord can't do. Slack however does lack the nice/easy to use UX for talking to each other or sharing screens.

Where they lack is enterprise features that have nothing to do with the UX which would include things like auditing and security, billing for a team, ensuring everyone in the team has the premium features, etc. That's probably hard to fix because the way discord is setup, only individuals pay for getting premium features such as high resolution video for sharing. That makes more sense for gamers than for corporate usage. Likewise, you have one account on discord for every community and slack has a one account per community thing. I have about 10+ accounts with them. Really annoying actually. Discord could do something like Github did which is allowing Github members to be added to any team and managing premium features on a per team basis.
Honolulu Fire Capt. Kaimi Pelekai on why he's against the vaccine mandate
Hi, I'm currently a postdoc in a large NA academic research group working on molecular problems.

I haven't use bioviz (very cool though!) but it would be paid the same as journal open access fees (which can cost 1000s of dollars and are paid by the authors), through grants. The individual academics usually have full control of their grant money. For large purchases (here above 8000$ or so) the university asks for a competitive tender process or proof that only one vendor exists.

Very few research purchases require departement approval, and physical science professors are pretty used to spending large amount of money on software and equipment. For example, I'm currently working with two programs for which we pay about 20k$ in license fees a year.
Is it? Seeing how quickly European countries were to suspend the AstraZeneca vaccine I only see evidence of the opposite.
> With QKD you only have to trust that the person you want to talk to is on the other side of the quantum link you've established

To trust that (without PKI), you have to meet your peer in person, don't you? If so, at that point you can just hand an HSM to them with your symmetric key on it. No need to use a quantum device.
Yeah. It always falls flat for me, like the "Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!" messages you get when some web pages break down.
