One of the things that I loved about the Apple ][ was that it was possible for one person to completely understand everything about that computer from the hardware to the software. I've never had that level of complete understanding of any system I've used since.

Nope. There are no cons cells here.
If we are talking at least somewhat independent (not a rebasing fork) and somewhat maintained (at least getting security updates) I think it is as follows:

The only modern browser engines are webkit, chromium and gecko. The next step down would be EdgeHTML (no longer shipped by default in any major browser, but maintained for security patches) and Sciter (only geared towards building application UIs, not general browsing. Not free as in both beer and speech). The next step after that is Trident (the old IE engine, somewhat maintained for security patches). The next step after that is probably things like netsurf, lynx and other browsers that do not and do not aim to support normal browsing.
This is pretty awesome, and while it "caches" all of memory, it is conceivable you could just run memory cycles the old fashioned way. And while that doesn't give you a speed bump it does give you the worlds most amazing in-circuit-emulator pod for 6502 designs.

From the article: "I started using FreeBSD in 2016 as a dual-boot with Linux. The reason was that at the time Linux provided no support for real-time threads and preemptive scheduling"

I've been using real time threads and preemptive scheduling on my Linux audio workstations since 2005. Am I missing something here, or is that date in the article a typo?
Nah. There are plenty of bosses out there who are smart or lazy enough not to micromanage.
I think we’re ignoring scale here. Is there a country with similar population levels that provides all that?

I’m Canadian and I am thankful for our benefits but our public services have been stretched for decades and I’m skeptical that our systems could handle 10x the population.

Yeah, Bezos struggling to keep his attention on Shatner's apparently-sincere attempt to express his feelings about the experience, because he was distracted by all the celebration crap around and didn't actually seem to be trying that hard to be present with Shatner, was really gross. I believe the kids call it "cringe", and this video had so much of it I had to turn it off.
> My own personal use case for flash is to access baseboard management interfaces on servers. e.g. the Cisco UCS220B3 series uses a flash based interface. No dice with ruffle.

Networking is the one thing that can't be fully reproduced by using a wasm thing vs a browser plugin, requiring changes on the receiving side. Flash player did cross-origin security quite differently. When you sent the first request to a new origin, it would first fetch /crossdomain.xml from that domain to see if you're allowed to do that, and only then proceed. Browsers rely on the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header instead. Then there are sockets, for Flash it's mostly the same idea: you could specify an arbitrary host and TCP domain, then Flash player would connect to it itself and send the string "<policy-file-request/>". The server is supposed to respond with the contents of a crossdomain.xml and close the connection. Flash would then connect again and this time hand over the socket to your code. Websockets don't work anything like that; you get one by upgrading an existing HTTP connection, and you can't have that on an arbitrary port either, and there's mandatory encryption.
seriously scary stuff, than you for sharing
It's getting harder and harder to find places where this is true.

ARM Cortex M0/M0+ blows AVR out of the water, and is usually cheaper except for the very lowest end AVR parts. Generally will use less power, too. And that's assuming your unit counts are so high that firmware developer time is free.

Of course, it's getting impossible to find 5V VCC ARM parts, so that's something that would steer you towards AVR if your system is really a bunch simpler by having a 5V micro.

>pay Google for the traffic they would have already received had the ad not been there.

But this line of reasoning begs the question. If this system wasn't in place, then Google search would not exist as it does and the search traffic would not necessarily exist in the same way, no?
It's best broken down by group, so here's just one example that I think is irrefutable about these being unsafe.

If you've ever been pregnant or had a pregnant wife, you'd know that the list of medications which they can avail themselves of during pregnancy is tiny. This is because due to ethical concerns, testing pharmaceuticals on pregnant women is almost never done. So doctors tell pregnant women to never take most things while pregnant.

The studies for the covid vaccines intentionally excluded pregnant women from their cohorts, for the same reason.

Therefore, by the definition of unsafe that we've used for generations of medical advice, the vaccines are unsafe for pregnant women. No study on pregnancy? Not safe.

And yet, pregnant women are recommended the vaccine every day.

That's just one among many.

As for failure, that's blindingly obvious at this point. If you disagree, please let me know how your view changes as you prepare for your fourth booster.

It must be a setting?

Small business people in my area of UK have always done this, type in the box in the middle (usually Google, occasionally Bing or some other service). But my pretty tech-literate kids do it too, even when I show them how they 'should' do it and that is faster, and they don't need the extra click to get where they're going ... mad!

On Chrome on Win10 as I use at work though, typing in the address bar, with my settings, I get auto-fill of addresses (the history search is noticeably missing vs Firefox) including the option to use 'tab to search' on a domain.
IKR. My parents are still rocking my old gaming PC from 2006-2007 with a quad core Intel Core 2 Quad and Nvidia 6800GT and it serves them fine. However, by modern standards that PC is an absolute energy hog for what it does. The CPU alone has a declared TDP of 105W (in practice, maybe even more). A modern laptop-grade quad-core Intel Tiger Lake 1165g7 would absolutely destroy it in terms of performance, and at 15W TDP, consume only a fraction of the power.

I love fighting planned obsolescence and reducing e-waste by repairing and keeping stuff working as long as possible but at some point old hardware should be replaced if funds allow it for the sake of energy efficiency and the environment.

let's also not forget that there always been an element of humor in spaceflight

It's like the internet used to be in the old green screen and bang paths days.

I remember everyone from DARPA on down had wonderful senses of humor. Today, even on HN which is supposed to represent the best of the internet, humor is largely frowned upon, or replaced with anger.

Hopefully this slow opening up of space to the masses won't mean making everything sterile and boring, like happened to the 'net.
This and encryption seem mutually exclusive (for me with OpenZFS @ Ubuntu 21.04).
"It is not quite sufficient, in answering this question, to point to a near-consensus on the part of the scientific community, thus in effect arguing that science is what the vast majority of scientists say it is. If this is largely how the argument does indeed function in the cases of debates about the safety of vaccines or the causes of global warming, we should nonetheless be aware of its flaws."

"If an elderly, respected scientist tells you something is possible, he is very likely right. If he tells you something is impossible, he is likely wrong." --- An old SF fandom saying.

If a ginormous herd of scientists tell you something, possible or impossible, they may not be right but that is the way you want to place your bets.

[Edit]

"But there are broad guidelines that could help. We might insist, for example, that those wishing to challenge the scientific consensus do their homework, demonstrating a competent (but not necessarily expert) understanding of the theories and empirical data they wish to displace. We might require that they have reasonable arguments concerning the theory or data’s flaws that do not presuppose, as some anti-vaccine arguments do, the existence of a large-scale conspiracy to distort the truth. And we would be well within our rights to demand that they argue in good faith and not — as historians of science Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway have shown for many climate change denialists — as professional water-muddiers, following a playbook first written by cigarette companies attempting to obfuscate a known connection between smoking and cancer."

Ooh, I like that.
> When has society ever not had bullshit filters?

I comment on many things that matter to me, I do find myself having to represent the "other side" a lot of the time in some political submissions. But I also found myself on that same opposing side when defending crypto in Brave the other day, it's not just politics.

I wouldn't consider myself a "culture warrior" whatever that means. I might consider myself a contrarian :)

I comment on issues I know about, whether it's programming or a political event / issue, though there have been a lot of political submissions as of late.

Thanks for verifying there are people that mass downvote, even when you unlock downvote I think it should be limited.

Politicians. College has gotten to expensive because the government is involved and has made it a priority for everyone to get a college degree...when many of the people going to college have no business being there. Give out money to kids to go to college...demand goes up...prices go up...give out more money...and the cycle continues.

Healthcare simply has too many hands in the pot. Government pays x amount but it costs hospitals 2x...so they charge 3x to insurance companies to make up the difference. It's insane, but making it "free" may not be what fixes it.

What safety net does the US not have? Over 60% of people paid no federal income tax last year and we have huge numbers of programs to help low income people.
This isn’t about the billionaires. What is an immense amount of money for individuals (100 billions) really isn’t that significant for a Western government like the United States.

Sorry, I didn't mean Waymo has 288 cars in their fleet, I was only pointing out that if a car comes by every 5 minutes, seeing 50 cars a day seems like an underestimate.

With regards to operating hours, the article states the cars operate at night:

> “I noticed it while I was sleeping,” says Jennifer King. “I awoke to a strange hum and I thought there was a spacecraft outside my bedroom window .”

> The visitors Jennifer King is talking about don’t just come at night. They come all day, right to the end of 15th Avenue, where there’s nothing else to do but make some kind of multi-point turn and head out the way they came in.
What if this article is missing the forest for the trees a bit? In my experience performance advertising is almost always paired with awareness advertising. The latter makes you aware of the brand/product/whatever then the former nudges you to act/buy/whatever.

So if you’re buying or even just evaluating performance ads without considering the bigger picture you might come to erroneous conclusions.

Take the Lego Movie example from the article. The $65 million movie is no doubt an awareness play. Could you make the case that you should also increase your performance budget to help capture more of the demand you just generated with the movie? Or should you just hope that people go from the movie theater to buy Lego unprompted? Is it worth it for Lego to advertise to people who walk out of the theater and search for “Lego Batman set” or whatever? I think so, even though evaluating such branded search campaigns individually might make them seem inefficient.

It seems very easy to dismiss the performance advertising as a scam when you evaluate it in a vacuum. As noted in the article it’s important (and very difficult) to understand the incremental outcome of any channel or campaign. That incrementality includes awareness campaigns.

After more than a decade in advertising and marketing I am now more than ever unwilling to accept simple or definitive answers to highly complicated questions. At best I hope that we can unwind some of the overall complexity so we can have a chance to trust some of those definitive answers.

Sure, Bill, very heartbreaking:

> Oxford University surprised and pleased advocates of overhauling the vaccine business in April by promising to donate the rights to its promising coronavirus vaccine to any drugmaker [...] A few weeks later, Oxford—urged on by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—reversed course. It signed an exclusive vaccine deal with AstraZeneca that gave the pharmaceutical giant sole rights and no guarantee of low prices—with the less-publicized potential for Oxford to eventually make millions from the deal and win plenty of prestige.

> Lodge and Food52 etc etc would

And wouldn't any users who end up buying a Lodge pan have been legitimately converted by effective lodge advertising? I don't think anyone who's only interested in Williams Sonoma will just go ahead and buy a Lodge pan. Unless you're suggesting that simply because the user entered "Williams Sonoma" in the search bar that page somehow "belongs" to them, which seems a bit absurd.

Growing up watching Star Trek, I experienced a shift in thinking. It imparted this idea that humanity's real home was among the stars and one day earth might be only a small part of human civilization. That we are capable of so much more. It was a beautiful, mind expanding idea.

I'm glad that Mr Shatner could have this profound experience. It sounds like he got to experience some of the same wonder and beauty that he portrayed through Star Trek, only aimed back at our home. There's a kind of circular completeness to it.

The earth is so precious and our lives so tenuous, we must strive to do better, to be better. The "ugly blackness" is terribly hostile and the "thin sheet" is all that stands between us and death.
PTO = Paid Time Off.

In some companies, there is a separate "sick day" allowance, but that's rapidly vanishing. In most companies it's all put into a single bucket and your employer doesn't know or care about the reason you are not at work. It does not matter if you just want to stay at home and take care of things or fly to Venice.

If you are too sick to work for an extended time, then there is a disability insurance program. Sick days, for companies that have sick days, are for things like the flu, dental appointments in the middle of the day, etc. They are not for months-long cancer treatment.

Point being, when I go on vacation, I take PTO. There is nothing else to take if I want to be paid.

I think my company also has an unpaid leave program for unusual situations - say someone wants to take a year off to go to school but they still want their job waiting for them when they come back. But using this is very rare. Of course, each company is different as benefits are part of how firms compete for workers.
I'm a US expat living in Germany, and boy is the anti-nuclear sentiment real here. There have even been fights - physical altercations - between Green Party members at rallies for having differing viewpoints about nuclear.

Unfortunately, it seems those who are against are working with very outdated information and 'tropes' w.r.t. nuclear safety and whatnot. Quite unfortunate.
That used to be true, but hurricanes haven't been named exclusively after women since 1978.

Maybe they could even scoop up Mozilla and give everything a singular purpose. Computing as a liberating force yet again.

Shatner is an actor, and for the first time in my life, I think he might be a good actor.
Well, on a good search engine, IMO, you'd have a predicted store based on the manufacturer (eg their preferred seller) then perhaps a list of top 10 competitors and something like "most recorded purchases after this search are from seller X" with "the most popular similar store is seller Y".

Of course Google wouldn't give that data out as then many companies wouldn't need to advertise at all to get top billing.
I think it just comes down to where do you get the most bang for your buck. Money sitting in a bank/stocks (billionaires), or money in the pockets of people willing to spend it (everyone else).
