Meanwhile in China they're straight up mandating that companies transfer all data to state-owned storage platforms.

>A ministry supervising state companies, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, is mapping plans to set up more government-controlled providers of cloud services for data storage, people familiar with the agency’s workings say. Such services have been dominated by private companies, including Alibaba and Tencent.

>The city of Tianjin has ordered companies it supervises to migrate data from private-sector cloud platforms to state-owned ones within two months of the expiration of existing contracts, and by September 2022 at the latest, according to an official notice dated Aug. 12. More localities are expected to follow suit, the people say.

>Government-controlled entities are acquiring stakes and filling board seats in more companies to make sure they fall in line with the state’s goals. ByteDance Ltd., owner of the video-sharing app TikTok, and Weibo Corp. , which runs Twitter-like microblogging platforms, recently have sold stakes to state-backed companies.

A better way to look at this is that the risk presented by the Chinese government to Alibaba has increased, so that has to be discounted against future cash flow. The market cap reflects an increase in external risks.
It's really incredible. We've come to think of it as "pre-authentication" vs "just-in-time authentication."

This post is riddled with misconceptions, but I’m just going to focus on these because they’re probably the most productive places for you to start:

> Real estate is not a monetary asset, it's a productive asset… Gold is a commodity, not a monetary asset.

This is wrong. Any asset with monetary properties can (and will, in the right environments) be monetized. When the primary medium of exchange is inflationary, people will use whatever non-inflationary value stores they can find with sufficient liquidity. Most of the value of gold, and much of the value of real estate, lie in their capacity as a wealth storage mechanism. They are monetized. Bitcoin does a better job of this and will likely subsume their monetization value.

> It has no intrinsic value

Invocation of “intrinsic value” is a 100% surefire sign of a dysfunctional economic mental model.
But what's the alternative? Coerce Jack and his ilk into rehab, effectively institutionalizing them? That doesn't work either, in the long run, and restricting people's freedom is a heavy thing to do.
Agreed! Next.js works great with this model! I’d recommend Capacitor over Cordova (similar but more modern). Here’s an example: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...
Around the time of the dot-com bust, I had been interning at a network equipment company. They went under; those without college degrees to much longer to get new jobs, even one person I know who had over a decade of experience in the workforce.

That piece of paper can be worth a significant chunk of change, particularly since the gap on the resume caused by fewer companies hiring non-college grads can cause companies to low-ball their offers to you.

Maybe the job market is different now, but, even if it is, maybe it will be that way again in 5-10 years. Predictions are hard and all.

Also, CS degrees are varied. Very little of what I learned was outdated given that most of what I learned was discrete math. The more practically focused classes were OS and networking and I've used both of those on the job.
That bug is only about Single Site Browser mode (SSB), where a desktop link would open a website in a Firefox browser window with no browser controls.

Accept new terms and conditions

To ensure you can continue storing all your notes in the cloud, using our desktop and mobile apps, and enjoying features such as Handwriting conversion and Send by email, please accept our new terms and conditions.

Your free access to Connect includes all new launch features, such as integration with Google Drive and Screen Share, and applies regardless of if you own a reMarkable 1 or 2.
Is this something to be worried about?

Yes. But it is mostly too late to doing anything. The move to the browser has been happening for years.

As an example, look at ChromesOS - a cloud operating system (OS) that tracks and records all your activity the moment you sign in. A Google account is required to use the full functionality of the OS. It is used by millions of schoolkids with all the privacy implications that entails. Somehow, Google's promise to never build profiles of their school users is enough to placate developers. In fact, developers are more likely to defend Google rather than question or scrutinise the privacy implications of using a cloud OS.

Google must be gleeful they've captured a whole generation of US kids to use Google services through the ubiquity of ChromeOS in US schools. And without any dissenting views from developers on the matter either.
Congrats! This is a very exciting release!
What can I say? The Computing Science degree I took is absolutely the single biggest investment giving greatest RoI for me financially, for intellectually, and for longevity of working experience.

But the costs are driven higher due to federal loans. If we stop Uncle Sam being an underwriter for college loans then the market will collapse, bringing prices down, IMO.
I wonder if this sort of activity would be detectible on publicly available balance sheets?
Minor correction: They have not provided a fast Webpack alternative. Next.js extensively uses Webpack, both for code that runs on the frontend and for code on the backend. They even hired the lead developer of Webpack. Next.js has very, very strongly embraced Webpack. The "Rust Compiler" functionality is more an alternative to Babel.

"Portugal has been averaging six deaths a day for the past month, compared with almost 300 at the peak in January. Adjusted for population, the current rate equates to about 200 in the U.S. The deaths plunged to one or two a day in May and June before rising to 20 in July. The number of new daily recorded infections and hospitalizations has been trending down since the summer."

By way of comparison, Portugal suffers 1-2 deaths per day in traffic accidents, so six must be quite noticeable. But of course it's also a 98% decrease since vaccination started.
Maybe we can have some of those fancy trackers we had during the pandemic. We could title them "Deaths occurring out of no reason at all". File under emperor killing his tailor.
What's sad here is that a proprietary, "walled garden" style vendor like Apple is the one who decided to push TSMC/ARM like this. It's not like there's magic Apple smoke in there.

It didn't have to be this way. We could have had a good AMD ARM platform instead. But they, like Intel, had become complacent (and this despite their position as fighting for Intel's table scraps in the x86-64 world). The failure to take risks leaves us all worse off.

Intel needs to exist, if only to prevent a TSMC monopoly at this point, but what good is AMD if they can't even compete with Apple when outsourcing to TSMC?
How old is it? Tritium has a half life of only 12.3 years, so if it's more than 60 years or so old, there's basically none left (around 3%), certainly not enough to make it glow.

Radium is much more likely if it's still glowing.
Wow, it even seems to work great on a phone, better than any free app I've tried.
As long as your tank is big enough, yes. The issue is propane is stored as a liquid, and when you draw it, it boils (and it must boil) but the evaporation makes the tank colder than ambient.

Boiling point of propane is -42C.

When it’s -30 and you’re drawing a lot of propane… yeah, your evaporation rate may suffer. Interestingly, a stiff wind is helpful here to warm the tank up to -30 (if it isn’t buried in wind-blocking and insulating snow…)

Propane tank heaters are a thing for this reason.

The issue in Texas was that you have regulators and pressure reducing valves, but going from high pressure to low pressure is cooling, leading to frozen valves/regulators because it wasn’t designed for liquid infiltration and the cold temps generated.

You're right that they do often show the local magnetic declination's rate of change (around the time of publishing), but even that goes out of date eventually. For relatively short periods (maybe on the order of years or possibly even a decade or two, depending on the particular location), applying this rate of change may give a good approximation of the present day's magnetic declination value, but beyond that the errors can become unacceptably large.

> If the major manufacturers aren't going to catch Tesla with manufacturing prowess, or capital, what are they going to catch them with?

Brand loyalty or aspiration that predates EVs; cheaper entry price (already happening); build quality; better UI (the giant touchscreen is a negative for a lot of people).

There are lots of reasons to buy a non-Tesla EV. I know people who, being told that the Mach-E wasn't going to be available for a while bought another ICE to drive until it was ready. I know people who bought Hyundais instead of Teslas. Heck, one person even opted for a plugin hybrid because only the Tesla had the range he needed for work and he didn't want one.

A good chunk of people I know are already opting for not-Tesla EVs. It's a brand that seems popular with a subset of the population, but doesn't have the widespread love that people on HN seem to assume.

I also think it's weird that people are comparing margins on ICE vs EV cars. Obviously, those will different. You want to focus on their margins in the EV space.

Honestly, this is some FUD; I've used Arch for 10 years; upgrading at least once a week, and the only time an upgrade has really messed things up was when they switched to systemd.

> What they taught me in comp sci classes was horribly outdated or not representative of the jobs available.

That hints of an underdiscussed pitfall when choosing colleges in "practical" fields like engineering and apparently nursing - the theory:practice orientation of their curriculum.

A theory oriented one tends to give you a backing which not eternal or life long, shift far slower. We may not use linked lists as much as hash maps but the same complexity analysis applies. If you are savvy enough you can pick up the specifics as needed backed by theory.

The disadvantage of a too heavily theory oriented one is bootstrapping to the workplace is more difficult and it may fail to establish proper habits like say how to properly write commits for version control.

A more practice oriented one which is proper for the current is more relevant and avoids the starting pitfalls but leaves the alumni less equiped with theory to deal with shifts. An outdated practical oriented curriculum is the worst of both worlds really.

>That family edutainment goal affected a lot of the show’s writing. Pyle didn’t want kids to see their family members as evil, ecologically speaking. “That’s one of the reasons we made the bad guys and their plans so ridiculous,” she explained, “We tried to point the finger at behaviors rather than industries. That way, no child would go home and say, ‘Oh, daddy, you’re in a blah blah business.’ It would be horrible for some child to see their family member as a Captain Planet villain.”
Indeed, when using Ada83 and ignoring all the later language standards.

You should compare with Ada 2012 with finalization types and SPARK.

Hardly any different than using unsafe on Rust's standard library, wrapped with safer constructs.

If Next.js + Vercel is the leader of the production-ready frontend-as-a-service space, why hasn't a similar leader emerged in the backend-as-a-service space?

I would love a clean Vercel-like abstraction on top of standard cloud primitives (functions, queues, events, workflows, etc.) with everything wired up nicely and focused on developer experience. It just seems like AWS is so configuration heavy that it is ripe for a Vercel-for-backend to emerge.

Does anyone know of an existing open source framework + hosted cloud platform that is a one-stop-shop for writing a production-ready backend in the vein of Next.js + Vercel?
Living urban is also a money drain. To get a decent sized place, you need to pay HoA fees, high rents, security deposits often get stolen, not to mention pet fees, parking fees, expensive QoL, exposure to pollution and noise, lack of quiet and solitude. I'm semi-rural now and while we do have to pay for well upgrades and power backup systems, we get a huge beautiful quiet piece of land for our money.
Facebook has never been able to track the user that pops over to Safari to do the final sale. Even before IDFA went away since that is not sent with requests made in Safari.

Apple disallowed third party cookies (like all other browsers) so now your website with Facebook embedded can only tell Facebook "I got a visitor" and Facebook has no data on who that user is (since they look to be logged out). Before third-party cookie blocking was a thing, Facebook could track users if they were logged in on the web, and thus could potentially attribute the sale to an ad that was shown in Facebook itself.

If the user clicked the link in Facebook for your ad, then popped over to Safari by clicking the "open in Safari" button then Facebook can continue to track that because they saw the final click and can add query parameters on the other end that you can send to Facebook upon checkout completion.

What Facebook can't track now is when a user installs Candy Crush, Quit Smoking app, and Instagram... thereby limiting what ads it can show a user in Instagram to just the behavioral data they get from Instagram, instead of knowing the user also has Candy Crush and a Quick Smoking app (and thus would likely be interested in quick games and cessation of smoking stuff).
Biden finally makes FCC picks: Rosenworcel as chair, Gigi Sohn as commissioner
The most basic harm of an addiction isn't financial. It's caused by an inability to be present in relationships with family & friends. A parent addicted to anything can't be bothered with anybody else's needs. They may hold down a job, and feed their kids 3 meals a day... But an addict won't be emotionally available to anyone around them. When they're actively getting their fix, they're numb to anything outside that experience. And when they're not, they're too busy struggling with their own unmanaged emotions to have room for their kids or spouse.

Video game addiction may not take all your money, but it can definitely devour the person. It'll leave you just as hollowed out and functionlly limited as a drinking problem. It's the core nature of self-medication, regardless of the mechanism of medication.
I think your wife's position captures the most important education aspect of pre-K: socialization. If kids can learn to share, communicate needs, and get used to schedules that's a huge boost for vast numbers of kids before getting to real school. Just being away from their parents for a while is an important adaptation for school.

Consider a child with either far younger siblings or no siblings dumped into Kindergarten. They may not have any helpful social skills. If they have to spend their time learning them they're not learning actual education topics.

It doesn't matter if the pre-K time was spent on bullshit lessons about insects or whatever. So long as the kids get to socialize and get a safe and relatively structured environment they're going to be far better equipped for school.
Neither do I. My point was nobody is able to have a "good online space" because some humans suck, no matter the ideology :)

You said "my community", do you think all people using alternative platforms share the same views as each other, much less have any control over each other?

No, it's just like Reddit or Twitter where you can find people saying the worse possible shit about anything.

The thing is there's also just as many good people on those alt communities who just want a place to discuss their beliefs.

Just because the Taliban is on Twitter doesn't mean @timmy is a terrorist because they share the site, same goes for Gab and others.

Personally, I believe if you aren't making threats or anything else illegal then you should be free to say whatever you want, otherwise things get murky on who decides what's "hate" or "misinformation". We've already seen those excuses abused greatly.

A user configured client side filter would suffice without any censorship needed.
This is a dangerous normalization. Realize that I am generally for decriminalization. But the myth that dark web vendors are "violence/crime free drugs" is exactly that, a myth.

There are certainly drugs which have less (but not none) of a violent pipeline (for example, lab-synthesized drugs), but just because you buy your cocaine from someone on Tor doesn't mean that there's not abuse, corruption, crime, violence and death associated with its sourcing and growth.

I think comments like this, or beliefs like this are a sort of feel-good mythology. Or "changing the world", or something. Superiority (though to be clear, I'm not ascribing any one of these to your specific comment). But it is a lot less grounded in reality than proponents would like to think.
> The best program anywhere in the United States is the computer science major at the California Institute of Technology

That's interesting because in most rankings I've seen of US CS programs Caltech's comes in around 5-10 from the top.

Which ones rank above Caltech depends on the particular organization doing the rankings, but schools that in at least some well known lists place above Caltech in CS include CMU, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell, U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Georgia Tech, U of Washington, Princeton, UT Austin, Harvey Mudd, Harvard, UCLA.

That a CS program is the best investment monetarily is not surprising, but I would have expected it to one of the higher ranked programs from a school better known for CS.

rising wealth inequality is caused by the FED printing money, it's that simple. Expansionist monetary policy transfers wealth from everyone to those who are leveraged into assets with debt. That's mortgage holders, people who take out business loans, large companies and those who hold equities in large companies.
> I'm still curious if hardware manufacturers will want to spend time adopting it.

The interesting thing I'm observing[0] is that embedded developers aren't wasting any time waiting for hardware manufacturers to do anything about Rust because they know manufacturers...well, let's express it as: "just don't care about software".

Bluntly, regardless of whether it's perfect or not, Rust is currently pretty much the only hope for devs who are desperate to move on from C for embedded work and if they have reverse engineer every last proprietary bitstream, protocol & application they will.

It's not just about the language itself (which depending on one's perspective has both pluses & minuses) but also the ecosystem/tooling (e.g. libraries with `no_std` support, build/test/doc systems, etc). (And, from my perspective, the community from which this has all grown--and why.)

Maybe it won't succeed but it won't be for lack of trying. :D

Also, one of the interesting aspects of Rust for me is how broad the domains of application are--using the same language from microcontroller level, through UEFI/firmware, OS, applications, & web is pretty appealing and leads to easier migration between domains.

I agree that I'm being snarky, sorry about that.

However, I do think your points are moot, and my real understanding of targetted advertisement is that attribution is required only to steal the attention of the people paying for the ads, because unique attributions means you can send new numbers every single day, or even make a new mail at every conversion.

So in my understanding, losing attribution only reduces ad buyer's attention, but it doesn't actually decrease effectiveness.

Edit: But I totally agree that I have a very poor understanding of advertisement, so I'm genuinely interested in hearing more
