How was, or is, this avoidable even now, and in existing monetary systems? One caveat is that though there are a few major actors, no one can be sure where they are physically. It is detached from political jurisdictions, which is the unique goal of Bitcoin.

This here: "The GIL will still be optionally available as an interpreter startup-time option" seems like a midpoint. Maybe it will even be GIL-by-default for some versions.
There really isn't a choice. Nobody pays more than they have to, to secure a house purchase. If the price paid is 1M, that's because that's the price the seller wanted. They'd have demanded that price whoever bought it. And if the price is 1M in whatever town we're gentrifying, then a similar house in SF would be considerably more (and thus not affordable).

I get the frustration with gentrification. But what's the alternative? Everyone must live and die in the town/city in which they were born? What's more, if nobody is coming to your town to live/work, it just slowly declines as the population ages out of work. Visit some of the old mining towns in the UK to see what that's like.

At least if you have a steady stream of incoming "rich people", then the entrepreneurial folk in the town have a chance at extracting some of that wealth.
"For the last 75 years, the U.S. dollar has also been a reliable store of value."

I'm not a native English speaker, but "has been" is a past tense. Then they explain why these times have indeed passed.

If you cannot interpret past, present and future, then there is no point in us discussing this further.

EDIT: Ok, no problem then, Winklevoss twins think the US dollar is a reliable store of value. Great article they wrote about that!
Anyone who works in the kernel knows, that somebody dropping an email on the mailing list saying "you should rewrite your kernel in X" is not something that achieves anything.

The OP claims that this somehow happened for Rust. People from the outside managed to somehow "push" us to use Rust in the kernel against our will, they dropped an email and we somehow were fooled by this people and started doing it. The OP is "sad"/"disappointed" that this happened.

If the OP were a kernel developer, (1) it would be accusing itself of getting fooled (yet their comment does not seem to realize this), and (2) it would know that this is not how the Linux kernel community works.

Interestingly, I've got "kaufmanism" (and a random machine learning definition); this word however has recorded usage:

"We didn't violate your privacy because we bought the information from a private company that violated your privacy. But it's ok, because you clicked a button, or signed a EULA."

That's the legal justification behind law enforcement fusion centers gathering, deanonymizing, and sharing data harvested by adtech firms, device manufacturers, and service providers.

It's a gotcha with the same intellectual weight as "I know you are but what am I?"

We need legislation with consequences lethal to companiesthat violate privacy.

Something like this - Every individual variable that a company wants to obtain from a person should be consensual with no option to select all, and the data and permission should be ephemeral. At any time a person should be able to inspect, delete, or allow continued possession of private data. They should be able to allow or deny sale or transfer of the data, and any recipient of the data must confirm permissions before taking receipt. Any algorithm or software or human analysis of data must be public and transparent. A record of any decision or business logic involving private data must be kept, and that record becomes private data, subject to the same constraints.

Stealing someone's identity should have a mandatory minimum of 2 years of community service, and total loss of opt in privileges for 5 years. No free web services or social media if you fuck around with someone else's privacy. Violations result in fines, paid to the victim and more community service.

A business caught abusing private data is subjected to a fine of 5% of company net worth per day. Half of the fine goes to the regulatory bureau, half to the victims.

Law enforcement must obtain warrants specific to known individuals - no geofencing or search term fishing expeditions. Digital data is subject to the same 4th amendment protections as physical papers and property.

Leaks would mean the end of an organization. If a company can't protect private data, then it can't participate in collecting it.

I'm sure there are flaws, but the gist of this seems a good starting outline. Anything less won't solve the problems and there should still be a mechanism for consensual participation in data markets. This would nuke credit bureaus, rein in isps and big tech abuses.

I wonder if the reason HATEOAS is not taken more seriously / developed further is simply the economic / cultural context of the dominant style of software development during the past decade (centralization, winner-takes-all, command-and-control etc) rather than something intrinsic about the architecture

A decentralized web (as originally imagined) involves countless diverse servers and clients exchanging data of constantly evolving (as in: growing in complexity) semantic structures. What is needed is not inventing a "language to rule all languages" but inventing the dictionary.

If there is an alternative pattern that can somehow enable a truly functional decentralized web please step forward.
Again, agreed on consumer. On society, definitely the PC as they've transformed pretty much every business and almost every home in the world. Like PC's have been shipping my entire life (approx 40 years), while smartphones (touch screen iPhone like etc) have only been around for the last 14.

And how are all smartphone apps developed?
Internet access became a commodity, that's what's happened.

Back in the days we had dial-up. I remember the rush. The excitement. The thought that every minute I was paying 6 cents. The monthly bill my parents received, and the (justified!) speech I got for being online too much. I remember downloading entire Usenet groups, reading them offline (cheap!). I also remember my browser crashing after I logged off [from the internet], while it contained various windows (tabs didn't exist yet), and it couldn't handle it for whatever reason. Session Restore? Haha, no, that didn't exist yet. It'd be like a reinstall of an OS: fresh. You'd have to put effort and patience into a post, too. Because you had to dial-in to post it, and who knows what might've been posted in the meantime?

Now we got always-on. Everything is very graphical, Web 2.0. You can get any content you desire. Any movie, any music, any book. Its all available, without any issue. It devalues the works, as does Web 2.0 with templates and what not. Its the same with synthesizer-based music. Everything is VST now. Back in the days, you needed an expensive hardware synthesizer (e.g. a 303) which was a specific investment. Its like the difference between the bioindustry daily and eating a piece of free-range meat every once in a while. Not to mention, search engines have become so good, it defeats the purpose of manually exploring in your own way. Efficiency killed curiosity.

And you grew up. As you grow up, things become less new and exciting. You can still explore though. For example, you could go to HN's newest submits [1] and upvote of the few which were worth reading. If a few do this, and its a match, interesting content gets more coverage on the HN front page. But that's the thing, too: you're doing work for other people. That's also part of what exploring is about: sharing your findings.

> That article partially validates my idea on why some people think that Lisp is such a force multiplier. The idea would be that compilers are one of the most important tool productivity-wise, and that Lisp allows you write your compilers yourself

This is a huge selling point for me personally. lisps allows you to have a solution AND its compiler in lisp, without a need for another language. As far as I know Common Lisp is the only industrial strength dialect of lisp to allow this, and with an unmatched interactive development environment

Somebody told them to get an abortion, and they just did. But I know better, I know what's best for them, and I know and I should decide what they should be doing with their body. They should not be getting abortions, nobody should, and I am sad and disappointed that this is happening.

There's confluence of factors that naturally results in power law (or pareto's law) distribution. The direct consequence is "stuff largely controlled by small group".

How to mitigate that? It is IMO understudied area of economics because economists prefer thinking of "value" of anything as a scalar, not as random variable. In cases where it isn't possible they just conveniently assume normal/gaussian random distribution. (See @nntaleb)
> just 0.1% (about 50 miners) control close to 50% of mining capacity

So, the much-vaunted "mathematical guarantee" that only 21m BTC will ever be mined depends on the benevolence of those 50 miners not to fiddle with the code base. Makes perfect sense to trust those honourable individuals more than the central bankers in control of fiat. /s
When I first became interested in having a girlfriend I thought I wanted to find a girl who was just like me but in a female body. I would become infatuated with any girl who was remotely attractive and showed similar interests to me, like programming, cycling, gaming etc. I've since realised there is not a single woman in the world who is into things like I'm into them, and it's better that way because I value more than just their body.
I totally sympathize with the author here, having tried Linux on the desktop multiple times for the last 20+ years. Back then the problems I repeatedly ran into were around hardware support, stability of the desktop environment, near total lack of documentation, system upgrades via built in package manager totally breaking the OS at random and fairly often, and way too much choice for literally everything imaginable. (So much fragmented attention means there’s not enough deep focus on one really good, well tested and bullet proof set of options, tools and integrations.)

20 years later the same problems remain.

And that makes me sad, because I have zero faith in Apple or Microsoft when it comes to privacy and security, so I need a seriously competitive Linux desktop experience really bad.

But even after 20 years, it’s still a shitshow.
This sounds useful, but this is a bad attitude:

Yeah only if they know to check! This is pretty much the unsafe-by-default anti-pattern. You know, mysql_real_escape(), yaml.load(disable_gaping_security_holes=True) and so on.

That said, the actual information looks fairly innocuous and file paths get accidentally embedded in C++ binaries all the time with no issues.

Does this count for something like AV, too? I grew up in a world where AV and anti malware only worked offline / client-side. What about spam filters and AV on mail servers? I often hear a commercial for Crowdstrike on Darknet Diaries podcast, which apparently is some kind of combination of a SIEM and ML (though that might be marketing). Would that be the panacea according to this paper? Or is this specific about a client-server model where the server hosts the data? Because the solution to that is rather simple 1) FOSS client 2) public-key cryptography where the private key does not enter the server. Sure, a cloud might make that illegal, but that's why the cloud is just someone else's server. Use your own instead.

That's a pretty misleading headline. Miners and investors do not control Bitcoin regardless of their hash power or amount of BTC owned. 50+ miners is also well enough to prevent any 51% attack. Finally, the ownership estimate is flawed given that it relies on blockchain analysis. The existence and popularity of custodial wallets (e.g. exchanges) makes this sort of analysis extremely unreliable.

It could also mean that there is an erosion of poverty and more people want to buy property. Only the poverty is visible. The reality is that a larger percentage of the worlds population is more prosperous and richer and consuming/desiring luxury more than any other time of our planet’s existence.

What's missing from this question is the recognition the answer can very easily be "probably never". Nothing says "they" (who?) will come for you (for some reason this is always implied) and it is eminently possible the person you are questioning doesn't mind living in a fascist hellscape where their neighbours are regularly dragged off to death camps.

Of course, all of that ignores the fact that your question is histrionic. The problems you are referring to are not modern problems and comparing them is a disservice to both situations.

Maybe that exact thinking paved ways for corrupt monopolies. There is a thin line between trying to force a business to exist vs forcing a huge conglomerate from extinguishing businesses with its money.
While this is true in general, I think it's actually not true for Apple with respect to iPhotos (possibility of true end to end encryption), since they also make the photo processing software and the camera itself. The sensor data needs to be rendered to a file before it is even possible to encrypt it, so Apple could capture and scan that if they wanted to. You can't encrypt light waves before they hit the physical sensors.

Of course, the same is true of messaging. Apple owns the keyboard software and nothing stops them from putting a keylogger in to capture text before it ever hits the messaging app that encrypts it (and it pretty much needs to have one for predictive text to be possible).

They obviously can and arguably should choose to ignore the data streams before they hit the network clients and can be encrypted, but the capability will always be there.

I think part of the issue here is Apple owning all of the hardware, the OS, and the network client. People don't want to trust network clients, but you have no choice but to trust the OS and hardware vendors. If you don't trust them, your only option for guaranteed private communication is to not use computers. You either need to resort to the organized crime/terrorist model of using hand carry via couriers who credibly believe you'll kill them if they rat you out, or the military model of building your own communications devices.
Custom verbs. REST is a recapitulation of "Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns" as a network metaprotocol rather than a programming language.
And, like deployment of military power ("proof of violence by the state"), proof of work has significant harmful externalities.
Of those three, Ada and Pascal are as I understand it pretty closely related syntax-wise (in the same "family"), so learning one of those will help a lot with the other.

I'd recommend starting with Pascal, because of the comprehensive and high quality standard libraries (or "frameworks" -- see related recent HN discussion...) in Free Pascal and Delphi, and because Free Pascal can target a lot of different OSes. OTOH, a downside might be that you learn (to rely on) too much of the FCL/VCL in stead of just syntax, so you get confused at the lack of those libraries in Ada; that could speak for taking it the other way around.

TL;DR: IMO, in a way that's perhaps closer to two new languages to learn than three.
