There is no customer protection because the payment system is not broken and insecure by design (e.g., hand your secrets over to an unverified entity and allow them to charge random amounts of money), plus there is no insane 3% fee. All those "benefits" that CCs argue to offer do not add up to the value of 3% of all your transactions.

Okay, Miss and/or It, I shall specifically address you by your gender of choice, however impossible it is to normally tell online.
What downtime? There were rumors of degraded video chat capacity, which is a nuisance but not a catastrophe.
Western countries tend to subsidize the basic needs of the poor. I'm sure if it came to it and it became a big issue they would get some governmental aid just like with transit or foodstamps or housing or education or healthcare anything else that slips out of reach for the poor.
> The NVMe hardware in the M1 is quite peculiar: it breaks the spec in multiple ways, requiring patches to the core NVMe support in Linux, and it also is exposed as a platform device instead of PCIe. In addition, it is managed by an ASC, the “ANS”, which needs to be brought up before NVMe can work, and that also relies on a companion “SART” driver, which is like a minimal IOMMU.

Stuff like this makes me wonder: why does Apple do this? If I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, I can assume that these changes are done for performance, cost, power-saving, or maybe even security reasons. Otherwise it just seems like Apple does these things in order to make it harder for other OSes to run on their hardware. Which is certainly their prerogative, but it just makes me think less of them.

On the other hand, this is really cool:

> However, Apple is unique in putting emphasis in keeping hardware interfaces compatible across SoC generations – the UART hardware in the M1 dates back to the original iPhone! This means we are in a unique position to be able to try writing drivers that will not only work for the M1, but may work –unchanged– on future chips as well.

... but cynically (or perhaps just realistically), I can easily believe that this isn't done for reasons of openness, but because this makes maintenance of macOS itself easier for Apple.
You can easily find mainstream sources for those claims. Maybe parent doesn’t want to direct traffic to such sites.
It's tough to call Facebook's response a "smear" or "disgusting attempt at character assassination" since it didn't address her character at all. It certainly does attempt to discredit her, and it is cowardly and ultimately doesn't address the issues she brought up. But the author of this article is a bit hyperbolic.
I don't believe musttail has been considered by the C++ standards committee, has it? Right now the Clang attribute is a Clang-only non-standard extension.

I believe the backend issues mostly center around DSOs. I am hoping that the dso_local attribute can help out here: https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#runtime-preemption-specif...

If musttail only works for functions within the same DSO, that seems sufficient.
I also had minor issues for an hour or so. Messages not sending or loading for example.
Payment/State channels exist today. Is there a difference between your (c) hypothetical future ideas and hypothetical future scaling problems? Lightning works today. Try Breez Wallet https://breez.technology/ or Strike https://strike.me/ and tell me what your experience is like.
Just curious: if someone was inclined to build a set of good (correct style, well-documented, etc) patches to support those extensions, why would the kernel refuse them?

(Put another way: I'm wondering whether you think the difficulty is technical or political.)
This is why I like me some curly braces.

It's called a tipping point. Previous critics made similar denunciations, but most people and even the media just shrugged and pretended nothing bad was happening. It takes time for society to acknowledge inconvenient truths. Plus, here, Haugen provided a wealth of documentation.
People explained but it was never officially explained by Moxie or Signal with a write up of sorts.
It is a balancing weight because the states military power depends on a landed citizenry that is easily taxed. If you remove the easily taxed part you also remove the military power part. Not advocating a lawless return to strong man tribalism. But I don't follow the idea that changing the abilities of a government to easily enforce taxation means they will remain effective at enforcing through more expensive means.
Two small notes:

- The 'mln' abbreviation was probably used to shorten the title so that it would appear complete on search engine results.

- I have also seen "MM" used to shorten "million". I believe that "M" means "Molarity" in SI units, and only means millions when prepended to another SI unit abbreviation.
Good point. The state doesn't decide what's "good" or "bad". We must not forget that.

Laws are useful but are an application of power. Power of who? Of the people? Of some bureaucrats? The answer will not be black and white in most cases, but what's important is not to regard any body that can legislate as a source of moral authority based on that power alone.

And one consequence is not to buy big corp arguments about evil practices "but it's legal!". Yeah, it's legal because it hasn't been outlawed _yet_, because of strong lobbying... b/c of whatever. Never relegate the moral judgement to just "it's legal/illegal".
Here's the TikTok story:

I've also seen issues with logging after.

It feels more natural to log when something is complete instead of constantly saying when you're starting to do something, but it leads to issues where you have no idea what the system was actually doing when it failed. It's very easy to have the process die without logging what made it die, especially if you're using a language that doesn't provide stack traces or you have them turned off for performance.

Logging before an action also means it's possible to know what's going on when a process hangs. It might lead me to where I should look to resolve the problem instead of forcing me to just restart the service and hope for the best.
Yep. That's what's expected to happen as the inflation rate drops to zero.
What's your source on her wealth? I'm only finding second hand sources stating up to 5 million...
Welcome groupthink. You are only allowed to teach assuming you don't hold your own views on things.
The article says that they temporarily stopped charging for the water due to the COVID pandemic. Subsequently, they asked that the community enter into a formal contract as a condition for supplying water. This does not seem like they acted very transparently at all, and it's unsurprising that they would now be facing heavy pushback.
Entire city of Wuhan (11 million) and later the province of Hubei was placed on lockdown - that is 58 million people - it was very serious.
That's true, but does my mother understand what's really going on? Do you? Do I? Choosing to pick up the phone and call your daughter and choosing to go on Facebook is very different and people growing up with the former might not realize how different the latter really is.
Here are some points I notice about this whole thing:

- Facebook has stated (in the press release the article is reporting on) that they support regulation. This is typical for large market incumbents, who have been said to always support fixed-overhead regulation, because it hurts smaller competitors more than it hurts them.

- Washington loves regulating things and can be safely assumed to be pro-policy in most cases. More to the point, incumbents today are far more concerned about the possibility of being blindsided in their campaigns by maneuvers on a platform their own team doesn't know how to work with, than they are about the difficult to quantify pros and cons of balancing antitrust and libertarian policy. You'd expect them to be pro-regulation on average, if it reduces the importance of the internet in running campaigns.

- The public is not presently pro-regulation and nobody really knows what form the regulations should take.

So in a nutshell, everyone who's powerful in this situation wants the same outcome, and all that is left is to convince the public to support a bill which will probably be titled something like "Cyberspeech Freedom Act of 2022." Lobbyists may have already drafted it, and we can expect that well-meaning activists will be swept along by the push and end up supporting something they wouldn't like if they fully understood what it was.
How can they be outdated? I have a bookmark folder at work related to some internal systems that I need to access to do a specific job. Being able to open a bunch of specific URLs at once and then have access to what I need right away is really, really nice and I haven't found any other way to get close.

The same with youtube videos (I like to run hour long videos that create a soundscapes in the background), it is super easy to create a collection that you can open with just a few clicks.

This doesn't mean bookmarks are a substitute for lots of tabs, but I still think bookmarks have a place.
The Tree Style Tab add-on might be relevant to your interests? It's a little flaky since the switch to new style extensions, but still better than any other option I've seen:

And this is exactly what they're doing. In effect they're loopholing the 1st amendment. Bring in Zuckerberg, hound him about removing specific "disinformation" under the threat of future political action if they don't comply. Then they get to throw the private company bs flag whenever someone says it's stomping on the 1st amendment.
That already exists in iMessage. They added custom user profiles, group chats are first class citizens and you can see all the photos in each chat etc
The assumption upfront is that you don't reach the "log after" point. IMHO, given that, not having an exception will be rare, and probably involve code that looks "off" and fixing that is the first task. YMMV though, depending on language
Just gonna jump in here and say: not cool. Yours is, to say the least, a disproportionate response and pretty unnecessary.
I don't believe it for a second.
lol google pays for FF to exist you fools
Very good point. There's a free-ish client on F-Droid (probably even official), but it's still a proprietary and centralized service. I would not really consider it better than the other proprietary options, but for whatever reason some tech people are into telegram.
> Odd, because here I am with an Intel laptop running Linux that manages that just fine.

Then it's not an Ivy Bridge running multiple external displays on KDE.

> Honestly, this is just ridiculous. Go ask the Nouveau folks how their reverse engineering project is going.

Nvidia created an actively hostile firmware situation. We already have the firmware story worked out. Plus having to support a bazillion GPU generations with incompatible interfaces burns people out. We're starting with one, and Apple has a much better track record of incremental change and avoiding hardware churn. This is unique, and we've literally heard from Apple employees that this is an explicit goal. It shows all throughout the SoC design.

> and all you can do is keep on reverse engineering in the hopes of keeping up.

And we will keep on reverse engineering, and we'll keep up :-)
> I think FB is having its MySpace moment.

No. Beyond USA, Facebook and its app ecosystem is used by people all over the world as a way to do business, this is especially true in developed country, people sell goods via Facebook, adversative and communicate to their customers via Facebook... MySpace never had as much reach and was never central to anybody's life. For many people all over the planet, Facebook and Whatsapp are the only apps they use. A lot of people on HN, because they are westerners, completely fail to understand that and only see how Facebook "fails to moderate the speech they don't agree with".

> MySpace was facing a lot of scrutiny especially around predators preying on children, which was one of the main, if not the only, reason for MySpace's downfall.

No, Myspace failed mostly for racist reasons, ironically, when young white educated people left Myspace for Facebook when the latter was deemed, and I quote, "less ghetto".

The site looks like it was based off a template and a cheap one at that. It doesn't strike me as trust-worthy nor are the people deeply invested in making something that will last and be worth investing my time and social network into.

It seems likely that he would have, because the port being on the bottom (making it so you can't use it while charging) allows the form factor to be that much sleeker. Jobs would generally opt for the form factor over convenience - ever making phones/laptops slimmer and lighter at the cost of battery life, for example.

They are making strawman arguments and, for some, this is completely obvious.
I think all international payment schemes need to be insured against fraud. High insurance costs would force 3rd world countries to crack down on criminals within their borders.
> It treats persons as merely means to an end, giving primacy to a statistic over the individuality of a human being

If you had told me even five years ago that this statement would actually be not just controversial but controversial enough to trigger a disinvitation I would have accused you of being a conspiracy theorist.
Wait a minute! What the hell is ‘automatic program search’? Is it like with Malbolge where the first working programs had to be written through brute-force search?

I think this says more about the significant amount of control Facebook has with its messaging platforms and the implications of them losing that control for even a few hours, rather than who happens to benefit when Facebook's users are forced to find alternatives. What happens to Facebook can now have ramifications for the entire Web.

It's gotten to the point where Facebook's userbase can act as a massive DDoS network not out of malice, as what the term usually implies, but because of the sheer number of people in the billions who willingly chose to use Facebook.
> the opinion piece, Abbot and professor Ivan Marinovic criticized diversity, equity and inclusion standards as "treating people as members of a group rather than as individuals, repeating the mistake that made possible the atrocities of the 20th century."

> His position over college diversity efforts sparked pushback from many academics on social media who said his rhetoric harms people of color in colleges and academia, some criticizing him for saying Nazi Germany also "drove scholars out" as "an ideological regime obsessed with race."

I don’t see how this view is so bad that it warrants cancelling a lecture. I could understand if he was saying hate speech. I can see why his view is misguided because he doesn’t understand that individual measurements like IQ are biased. But really? This seems more far-left than MIT.

Honestly if you really think his views are wrong you could try explaining to him. He seems like a decent person you can actually talk to.
I like serverless. I know that cloud providers can run my code and auto scale it however is needed. I don't want to worry about how that actually works. I don't want to auto scale servers or think about RAM, etc.

I also like cloud services like Timescale. I just want a database of a certain size. How it runs? I don't care at all as long as it works.
Straw Man
So what if other industries are also polluting? That's not a great excuse. Tax it all imo. Once you have a mechanism to quantify and tax carbon usage it wouldn't be hard to expand it to other industries. In the mean time airline tickets will be costly and within a couple of years you will see freight operators laying down electrified double track along their right of ways in order to capture demand for regional passenger transit at a lower price. The market will reshape to capture the most profit it can given the regulatory environment that it resides in. This is the point of these taxes, you force paradigm shifts that ultimately benefit the species as a whole at the cost of perhaps only a few quarters of poor profits for major corporations.
Ironic that "we do not live in a meritocracy" is said by the same people advocating for DEI programs (which, as implemented currently in university admissions, are objectively anti-meritocratic).
He said: "treating people as members of a group rather than as individuals" is bad.

Does anyone actually believe that it's better to treat someone as a member of a group instead of as an individual? Why is this controversial? Isn't treating someone as a member of a group the essence of racism?
- I do not understand how 'mln' is more SEO than 'M'

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(unit) states that it's 'mol', but what do I know, I'm not a chemist

Without context '70M' should be assumed unitless, and therefor must be interpreted as a power suffix symbol. Better yet, it falls outside the hex range, making life even better for everyone.

Perhaps, if I'm really trying to be difficult, we could try to interpret 'M' as a modifier on 'new users', but that seems silly when there's no space between 70 and M.

> The fundamental political issue with cryptocurrency is now you've created some amorphous group of oligarchs whose power cannot be really removed by traditional means. It's just a regression.

If you're worried about currency falling under the control of an unaccountable group of oligarchs who can't easily be removed, I have some bad news for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Board_of_Gover...

The most traditional means of removing oligarchs is for an angry mob to murder them and their entire families. Does cryptocurrency prevent that? Maybe if you don't know who the oligarchs are. But cryptocurrency also doesn't really require that, either. A currency is only valuable when enough people believe that it is valuable. If there's an actual problem with a particular coin, people can switch coins--which they can't with fiat.

Oligarchs, or at least powerful elites, are more or less a human universal in cultures of a sufficient size and complexity. The main difference with democracy is that democracy makes it far easier to gain power through demagoguery and propaganda.

> Even if what I'm saying doesn't come to be, at a minimum you've introduced yet another layer to our financial systems for no benefit - our current system isn't here by accident. It's here due to learnings - learnings about human nature, markets, and so forth.

To what ends?

Among other things, fiat currency makes individual human beings more governable. Cryptocurrency makes individual human beings less governable. The more governable the private individual becomes, the easier it becomes for an oligarchy to oppress him.
It probably is, but it is also more convenient than whatsapp (or any other messenger for that matter) in many ways.
Hm I'm going to see if there's a setting to override a site's choice of that header.
The headline on this hacker news entry says "Incriminating". I didn't find that word anywhere in the linked npr article. Is what has been leaked in fact incriminating?
Democracy is primarily about representation and individual freedom. "Rule of law" is one of the main selling points of authoritarian ideologies. Are you sure you didn't drop a minus sign somewhere?
There's a lot of issues with that article but to pick on one as you pulled it out specifically:

PoS is here, has been for years and is extremely successful; Polygon side-chain for instance already has surpassed main net in terms of active addresses. Then there's L2 and PoS L1s like Tezos...

The meme of "when PoS?!" died in 2021.

Weren't you just saying how you don't want the state legislating what you put in your body and mind? That's why.
Public health means that healthcare workers must put the well-being of their patients front and center. That’s why we have many vaccinations before medical school, rotations and residency and that’s why we have to have vaccinations before working clinically.

The vast majority of us knew that this was serious from the get go and acted accordingly. The majority of us have received our vaccinations and the rest have now been or real soon now be weeded out for their pro-disease and anti-science ideology.

More like selfish idiots to me.
> With social media, it is nearly impossible to connect physical or psychological harm to a platform over the course of someone's life. The papers that draw conclusions in this space are based on limited studies and polls that could be influenced by any number of external factors. We judge these things based on little more than feeling.

Yeah, you'd need to some kind of A/B testing on unsuspecting users and see if you can manipulate their mental health to get worse. Fortunately this sort of thing would never pass an ethics review board. Unfortunately, Facebook either didn't have one at the time or didn't listen to it, because they literally did exactly that.

facebook, inc. is not just an amiercan issue. For years they have been nefariously bribing other countries to promote their website.

Take for example internet.org internet takeover attempt in India, or a better example, in Brazil facebook, inc. bribes local telcom providers to provide whatsapp access for free ( users are not charged data usage )

their agenda is clear. abuse and lie through their teeth, making as much money and power as possible.

facebook, inc. is a cancer on our global society.

You're not wrong, the the middle class has far more savings than the poorest quartile. Is it this you disagree with?
It is too late. There are now strong political support for cryptocurrency in the US including members of Congress. Extrapolating the current growth of crypto energy usage gives me chills. This might be the Great Filter for us.
All the factors that lead up to that decision are outside of the control of an individual.

This doesn't mean that working hard shouldn't be rewarded, it creates value.
DNS being down instead of returning an unreachable destination did increase load for other DNS resolvers though since empty results cannot be cached and clients continued to retry. This made the outage affect others.
