I disagree, a fork with a non-Google app store could absolutely threaten Google.

Pocket itself is a good thing, I think. As this post ( http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2021_09_06.ht... ) explains, a browser pretty much needs an external footprint on the Internet and standalone revenue to have good odds of living. Pocket is a step in that direction, if only a small one, and it fits with an overall thing about making it nicer to use the Internet.

That's a hard thing for a lot of Firefox's userbase to swallow, their dream being a pristine FOSS project essentially run as donationware. Nonfree things, monetization etc. just really don't sit well with that lot. I know, I was one of the people whining about Pocket when it was integrated into the browser and didn't see the point of it. Now? If Firefox is to live, more things like Pocket need to happen.

Opt-out keylogging in a privacy browser isn't that, though.

Assuming there's no legitimate IP infringement going on, then it's not different as far as I can tell. In my view, if the Amazon store is so big that it can use its market power to make the market worse (for buyers, sellers, or both), then make that argument on its own. The specific practice of noticing that popular third-party items can be offered by the store at a lower price isn't a problem in my view. If the convenience store on the corner sells homemade cookies cheaper than the Oreos on the shelf, is that really a problem?
It was jarring and a bit ironic* to hear William Shatner call space "black ugliness" and the embodiment of "death", for sure.

That said, I know we all get his meaning. This tiny blue dot, our collective "blue origin" (har), for humanity is life, livelihood... everything. And it's so fragile and insignificant against the immensity of the universe.

I wish all world leaders could have such an epiphany as he clearly had.

* Notably, Shatner is familiar to us as the confidently-space-faring Captain Kirk, a character that brought to the world the idea that space travel is the mundane, normal, expected next step for humanity.
Towards the end of the clip, Bezos looks like he's calculating how much William Shatner Space Merchandise he could sell with this great video they're getting of a profoundly moved man.
Not really and you’re just proving the point. Killing people is an acceptable trade off - you do it every day. Otherwise we’d stop driving, flying or take any risks. You’re appealing to the emotion and doubling down on it.
It’s ok to be wrong. But you should also expect that you may be ridiculed or ignored sometimes if your theories aren't conventional

Basically, I don’t think the BBC refusing to give time to flat earth era is cancel culture. Even if there’s a non-zero chance they were right all along
yeah, I came out of that viewing with a reduced opinion of Bezos and it may not be fair to judge him based on just a moment. Musk seems to approach space as a serious thing with deep existential consequences to failing. This is not to excuse Musk who has a litany of personality flaws but it just seems that one is a serious person and the other is not.
I work at an MSP that acts "IT department" for the SME segment. We also sell phones, laptops, desktops and peripherals. Our customers always get iPhones, the seniors always gets the latest and greatest iPhone.

This is in Sweden where we're taxed about 50% (I make 50% of what my employer pays for me), this might make us give away iPhones to employees like it's nothing.

Think of this: Employment tax, 30%, income tax 30%, value added tax for goods, 25%.

My employer doesn't have to pay either of these, but if I were to buy an iPhone I'd have to pay all of it. I imagine this affects how generous our employers are giving us "tax free perks".

I had to argue the case with my boss(CEO) to get a cheaper phone since I break them quite often and felt shameful bringing the bills in for repairs.

Now that I'm changing jobs my new employer asked "what gear do you want", I could get essentially whatever I wanted. Seems like a kitted System76 laptop and a Fairphone 4, is what I'll stick with.

TL;DR: Tax affects who gets what in what way.
> I don’t see how any society could function if it didn’t have a strict anti-bullshit filter

I don't see how science can ultimately function if you aren't allowed to push back and legitimately question things. All things. How many times have we, years or hundreds or thousands of years later, come back and disproved something that was a "scientifically proven" thing in the past? How would you accomplish that if you aren't allowed to talk about it? Relatively few things in science are actually indisputable, and I question even that. Some things that we think are indisputable today we might laugh at a thousand years from now, just like we laugh at some of the primitive thoughts our ancestors had, but were cutting edge for the day. Science is the pursuit of truth through rigorous testing and pushback. Eventually, if proven enough times, we call it a law. You have to be open to being completely wrong to actually obtain that level. Free speech is paramount to science, as well as society.

Society, as a whole, has worked fairly well without "bullshit filters." It's when you start putting them on that you start having issues, and often in areas that you didn't anticipate, because at that point you're acting on a belief and not a fact.

I highly recommend reading Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Here's an interview to give a preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JpQFVXGzUI
They talked about this on the 2 hour long podcast. It was actually pretty funny too, I'd recommend it.
The last-second switch also introduced a giant vulnerability - the error trap ("panic handler") code in the Xbox's "Secret ROM" was intended to disable access to the Secret ROM and halt. Of course, this was a challenge as disabling the Secret ROM would also prevent the Halt instruction from being read. So, instead, the error trap was placed at the end of the mapped address space, and relied on EIP overflowing to 0x0 afterwards and causing a double fault, which would halt the CPU.

This was true for AMD CPUs, but for Intel CPUs, false - they'd just roll over and restart execution at 0x0.

This was the so-called "visor" exploit which enabled unencrypted bootloader payloads.
What kind of instance was that? For A100 servers we got something like 5x price difference.

The doc says:

Maybe you're using huge disks, those don't get discounts on preemptible instances from what I remember.

Surface Laptop Studio review: One well-built, weird convertible PC
It’s not really that impressive all things considered. Localstack is effectively Python’s Boto library (an AWS mocking tool) running as a server.

In turn, all of the AWS APIs are defined by a kind of JSON schema document, so there’s not really any reverse engineering going on.

I consider Localstack somewhat toxic in most projects because it shows the the developer didn’t understand how to contract test.

Furthermore, doing anything more than contract testing with AWS is a fool’s errand. The problem you face with Localstack is that it gives you an inaccurate model of how AWS actually works. As a general rule, AWS APIs are asynchronous, as in their side effects are not atomically bound to the request you’re making (sans some certain S3 actions); while Localstack is invariably synchronous.

The world is a constant battle of rights and wrongs. Getting something wrong, is a major part in arriving to something right. Now society wants to shun, filter, and cancel all the "wrongs", which removes skepticism of the popular "rights".

Pentagon’s Top Science Official Adds to Tech-Breakthrough Wishlist
Hi Hackernews,
I have been working on this for quite some time and I’m excited to share this with the open-source community:
Slicknode, a GraphQL based backend builder and Headless CMS for web developers that automates the repetitive work, but can also be customized where needed.

I often found myself limited by CMS software. If you want to add anything custom like business logic or 3rd party APIs, you have to have enormous amounts of knowledge about the CMS architecture to make even a simple change. Adding business logic is oftentimes difficult or impossible. If you want to combine this with 3rd party APIs, you either have to do it in the frontend by hand or build a custom backend, with all the integration effort that comes with that.

You can build a custom backend, but that’s a lot of work and gets complex, especially if you need content management with modular page builders, localization, version history, publishing workflows etc.

With Slicknode, you get composable building blocks based around the GraphQL specification that you can mix and match and extend where needed to make them work with your own custom requirements. A lot of the functionality like CRUD logic, Admin UI and API generation can be derived from the data model, and for the rest you can add basically anything with simple JS functions (custom resolvers, mutations, web hooks, etc). I found this to be extremely fun, flexible and fast to build digital solutions. Now I’m sharing this with everyone and would love to hear your thoughts!

> Isn't it debilitating to live in a place suffused with this opinion? Does it become self-fulfilling?

One of the 2 major political parties in the USA has pushed this opinion for as long as I’ve been alive. They deny federal government any opportunity to improve then point at government as an example of why it doesn’t improve peoples’ lives.

I hope other still-functioning governments learn from the institutional failures of the USA in the 1970s and 1980s so as to avoid following the same path.

> Yeah, I think the only on-brand search ads that should be allowed are ones for totally unrelated products...

The problem is that this is subjective and would need to be automated somehow. I think Google's original sin here is making the ads look so much like organic search results. Someone placing an ad against a competitors brand name would not be a huge issue if organic results were still front and centre like in the "good old days" of early 2000s Google.

> The lack of a license doesn’t necessarily prevent people from driving.

OK, but you need to first decide whether the state should require a license to drive in the first place. And if it requires a license, whether this license should be required to identify you or not. Because you are going to have a hard time with a licensing system in which the license cannot identify the holder.

Maybe it shouldn't. That's a useful and honest discussion to have.

What is not a useful or honest discussion is whether we should require it but not really enforce the requirement.

If you require it, then you should enforce it, and you should not refuse to enforce it because you think that enforcing it does more harm than good. If it's really true than enforcement does more harm than good, then don't require it.

But this idea that group X should meet some standard, but group Y can meet a lower standard, is lawless and discriminatory. It violates the principle of equal treatment before the law, and it destroys the willingness of society to abide by laws. It creates a population of lawbreakers that can be the victim of selective enforcement, e.g. to punish enemies, while it rewards friends by promising to not enforce the laws. This is basically institutionalized corruption in the sense of the old machines like Tammany Hall. It's when you get to a situation where government can destroy enemies by deciding to enforce laws against them, because there are so many laws whose enforcement is arbitrary.

That goes for every aspect of controlling our borders and deciding who can come here. If you want to make an argument for open borders, go ahead. There is legit intellectual case to make for that.

But don't say, well, for one group we should enforce things but for another group we shouldn't, because then law abiding people end up waiting for years (my parents waited for 10 years to be able to come to the U.S. legally) while others just overstay their tourist visa (my mother's relatives did that).

That's discriminatory and lawless, and sets you up for a system in which those who obey the law are recognized as suckers and forced to subsidize those who do not.

Clearly sounds like a marketing document. Cites a survey from "Cloud Native Computing Foundation" and claims "92 percent of companies are using containers in production" + "Thus, Kubernetes, Openshift, and other container technologies are present everywhere" while ignoring the fact that the survey is heavily biased towards companies that run containers, of course.

Their own services and blog posts is also referenced in almost every section of the post, even when better external resources exists. Zero competitors are listed in any section. Doesn't sound very neutral to me.
> It is fairly obvious if you search anything and the first product is a Amazon Basic product that they are toying with the results. There is no way a Amazon Basic product is the #1 in every category there is one.

I'm not claiming they don't prioritize their own products, but two obvious reasons why it could be possible for Amazon products to regularly be the most popular is 1) if they're the cheapest and 2) if the Amazon brand is considered reliable. I personally tend to deliberately choose Amazon Basic for products that are cheap and which I perceive to be fairly commoditized, like AA batteries.

I am not in the least surprised.

The government has been cracking down on opioids, such crackdowns are never nuanced and will of course hit the ones that stand out, justified or not.

Until the people collecting the data are made accountable for problems with the system this sort of garbage will occur--and it's far more harmful when it's medical rather than just credit scores.

The doctors & pharmacies don't really have a choice here--do the medically right thing and you risk your license and maybe even your freedom.

Some years back locally we had a case that obviously related to this, but the news reporting barely touched on it. Murder-suicide, a cancer? patient denied adequate pain management took his doctor with him. Of course the true perpetrators at the DEA don't face any such repercussions.

> The biggest surprise for me in the current market is how employers and companies are complaining about the lack of skilled people [...]

They do complain about that, but would anyone agree with such statements? I do participate in tech interviews in my current company and we get tons of applicants. Now, sure, the company I work for is raising the bar every year and is only looking for "the best of the best" (honestly, we don't need that, we are an average tech company). I don't think there is a lack of skilled people: it's just that every damn tech company out there thinks they are Google.
I hope they realize that by doing that, they'll keep innovators and folks who can build a tech scene in their home countries instead of America.

These tech scenes will then pop out competitors to US firms.

Oh that's good.

Oh, so in other words it reports everything since any software that might be used to cheat at call of duty is technically related to call of duty... Whenever I see this kind of vague verbiage it's never a surprise when it turns out the people who wrote it chose their words very carefully, to purposefully mislead people.

Edit: Oh, and they definitely say they monitor other software "that interacts with call of duty" later in the article.
