Things SpaceX did in their filings are often prosecuted as felonies when mature companies do those things.

Will SpaceX rely on the "ooh, we didn't know, or even know enough to hire anybody who would know" defense? Or will it be "DoD cares about us, so will twist arms on our behalf"?

They really had no need to build their factory and launch site dead in the middle of a nature preserve. Its only advantage over someplace between there and Corpus Christi, that I see, is that there was already a road to the beach.

Oh, actually I made a mistake in the GP. The following sentence:

...is false, I completely missed the very first section (I obviously searched for "Unicode", but failed to thoroughly check results). I have other valid criticisms of the JSON specification but that is not, so please ignore that part of rants since it was based on a wrong assumption. Thank you for (implicitly) pointing it out.

The Open Source Software Security Summit: securing the world’s code together
I agree, but surely money is not the only kind of reward our society can imagine.

Actually, what am I saying. Of course it's the only kind of reward most of us imagine.
I don't know if FAANGs are so deserving of such vitriol. I would probably say that big companies overall just fundamentally have a set of issues, and FAANGs are probably above average in many aspects relative to the rest of the big ones. Now, if you prefer certain small companies, or other humanitarian or mission-focused ones, that's not a FAANG-specific complaint, in my mind.

And just product-wise, it's just way too easy to find counterexamples, like, how worse would the world be off if there was never invented google, gmail, chrome, iphones. Before google, there was no reliable way to search the web. Before gmail, there was no such thing as a dynamic web application. Before chrome, we were stuck with microsoft making up their own standards with IE and an inconsistent web spec. Before iphone, we were stuck with feature phones. The list just goes on and on.
As far as I know, you can write your own poetry. The way how you would describe a love or chair, does not make you owner of those abstract or real things. Software code here is only a language of that poetry.

>>I mean it would be nice if it doesn't.

If we were applying medieval guild based rules to software development, there would be no evolution of software at all. There would be no mobile phones(maybe one - not series, but one phone) and personal computers - and also no PUBG, which like all the successful software has borrowed ideas from other software. With such draconian rules, there would be no market for those things, that we have now. Isn't it nice - you can make your own web browser, that does not differ that much from others, or OS, or a game...

There's an opportunity for a company that signs contracts with EV owners to use their car batteries when they are parked for distributed grid balancing and in exchange they replace these batteries after they drop to let's say 80% capacity.

That company can then recycle the used batteries or use them in stationary battery banks for a few more years before recycling them. I wonder how it pans out financially, but it seems it could work.
There are plenty of small businesses that have $1 million in yearly revenue or more. A single restaurant can easily make that or more a year.

If you go with SBA definitions, they use a $1 million to about $40 million range for revenue, and a maximum of 100 to 1,500 employees depending on the industry[1].

You'd be surprised. Flappy Bird had no such problem - and tons of other small viral hit apps. The problem for the vast majority of apps is becoming that known and having as many users interested - this one has solved that already.
Telemetry data snooping is the problem here. It clearly makes FF hang forever, and having it off by default would not have triggered the issue.

So data snooping is the issue here.
Ask HN: Can I boot a laptop into a Proxmox guest VM?
For a long time I've thought about running my laptop as a cluster of separate, largely immutable VMs that are easy to copy/replicate/transfer (Proxmox). The laptop would "boot into" the VM I use for my daily work, with separate VMs for managing a firewall (pfsense), for gaming (Windows), and for running containerized services (CoreOS).

It all comes down to the laptop display panel.

The problem is getting a VM to "drive" the laptop's display, with exclusive control from that guest OS. I don't know how to articulate this Google search. It is NOT the same as passing through a GPU to the VM. Because these searches touch on the same topics, I'm often looking at a solution for giving GPU compute power to a VM. This is entirely about the laptop display panel and its controller - the host hypervisor should not touch it.

How do I make this happen? I would appreciate anyone's help in understanding what I'm really talking about. I'm not sure the laptops display controller is something that can be foisted into a VM as a vfio device.

I'm on an AMD laptop if that helps. I know Intel has put considerable effort into carving out vfio functions with GVT, but again that is focused around offering GPU compute to the VM. How do you isolate and dedicate the display controller to the VM. Does AMD have something like this?

Thank you for your help with an odd setup.

See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28334168
Yeah that's the problem entirely. We need legal regulations here to force Apples hand. If you can't define in simple terms what specific category of entertainment your device falls under then you've made a general purpose computing device and that must come with requirements that users can load whatever code they desire onto it with your blessing.

Allow users to do that and they can put whatever rules they want on their store.

I agree that hatred is probably somewhat unwarranted, and flexibility and support Webpack has is immense - but, based on my experience, I understand some of the people and where it's coming from.

I just replaced Webpack with Vite, in a 2yo React project, with relatively standard webpack config (scss, fonts, assets copying, minify etc). I was able to remove 24 total devDependencies packages, including the whole of babel and its related ones, bunch of webpack plugins that broke our build on every packages upgrade (e.g. to Webpack 4, then again for Webpack 5) etc etc.

We now have nothing to do with babel, hard-to-understand plugins that someone added since it was solving a build error, nothing to do with webpack, just 1 almost non-existent config file, instant HMR, and 3x faster build...

> I fail to see any reason Firefox should acquire it

Because it was profitable perhaps? Why not acquire a relevant profitable business (many already like) just for sake of profits? And pre-installing it by default seems the next obvious step to make it even more profitable.

> Might as well acquire a webmail, a feed aggregator and a video host while they were at it.

It's way harder to make these profitable without too much investment and without using severe user-annoying techniques.

Nevertheless it's already been suggested here a number of times that Mozilla should perhaps also re-invent e-mail.

> an argument could be made that reduced exposure to viruses long-term may weaken the immune system—though I’m not sure if there were studies to support or refute that).

My mental model of the immune system would say this isn't how it works but I am not an expert:

Immune response is very specific which means that if you have been exposed to 10 different 'sorts' of viruses then your immune system has likely learned a specific response to those specific viruses. If you now become affected with an 11th kind, then your immune system cannot reuse the specific response it has already learned but has to learn to fight a new enemy.

Thus there is very little benefit of becoming infected with a particular virus if you can avoid it.

The implications are that by wearing masks or isolating you are avoiding getting viruses which are currently in circulation and if you stop wearing masks or stop isolating then you will likely catch up with the viruses currently in circulation (so you are sick more often), but the individual infection isn't more severe because you haven't had to deal with a lot of viruses for some time.

If not then you want a separate search field.
I think governments are slowly addressing "platforms". Not just computing platforms, but platforms in general. E.g. shopping platforms, gig-platforms. Platforms are like an economy inside an economy, with the platform-company being the regulator, and this can be a bad thing (much worse than if the government was the regulator).

Good question. Because for security reasons you want to stay up-to-date on software that connects to various websites. At the same time, from a functionality point of view I wished I'd never have to update anything.
Do you live in London? Or visit?

Firefox stopped working in the middle of writing an email. Couldn’t even restart the browser without it crashing. Rebooting didn’t fix it. Reinstalling it only temporarily fixed it. I got frustrated and installed the ESR version and it STILL didn’t work.

This whole incident makes me feel better about myself. Like any developer, I’ve deployed some nasty bugs into production. But I’ve never completely broken a web browser relied on by millions. My heart goes out to the FF team members working to fix this.

> What does that say about our societies that we have embedded the profit motive in (most) organisations?

It says that capital management is non-trivial and full of risk that needs to be proportionally rewarded with profit to justify the outlay.

Even non-profits have to grow revenue, because organizations require resources. But non-profits are hampered by the fact that they can't reward people for taking risks on them. A for profit organization can seek outside capital and reward risk. A non-profit can only seek donations or charge for services.

Ultimately, society benefits a great deal from it.
> failure to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion

I have a very hard time believing this is the major driving factir in the "great resignation". Or maybe my Europe environment is completely different. But to me this sounds like another attempt to push certain political views and not at all to really discover what is going on.
One of the things the pandemic thought me is that I value my time a lot more then I do money. Just had to try it out. No way I'm going back.

They did not do this out of generosity or good will to small businesses. They did this for the PR, knowing that they're still rolling in the cash like Scrooge McDuck from all the years they've been milking it, and will continue to milk it, whilst looking like they're giving a handout. And it honestly looked like it worked from the comments of people defending their stance.
Still, dark matter as a theory, or at least as the name of a theory, has the big problem to predict something that is conveniently invisible.

A proponent of MOND could probably declare the existence of some form of dark exotic matter in galaxies that behave "Newtonian".

My point is: As long as a dark matter theory doesn't make predictions that can be experimented upon, we will always have these kind of interpretation games.

Side question: What would actually distribute dark matter throughout the universe in the first place? If it is only affected by gravity and there is much more dark matter than visible matter, shouldn't it be forming a huge invisible ball somewhere?
Paint them white. And roads too.

Yeah, the alternative is running a system with a ton of outdated software, with known bugs and active exploits while casually surfing the "oh-so-cosy-and-entirely-harmless" WWW...

The goal is not to ostracize automatic updates, but to have faster fixes.

Or to separate security updates from feature updates, but I think this ship has long sailed for modern browsers.

I was surprised to find I had telemetry enabled. I could have sworn I disabled it, but it would have been a long time ago, so I was thinking maybe I remember it wrong.

I would like to see any source that may exist on it having been silently re-enabled. I know telemetry is anonymized and totally harmless or whatever, but re-enabling it behind my back would feel like such a breach of trust.
Http3 has existed in ff for a while. What triggered this was some back end service switching to http3, triggering the bug.

I’d say the amount of violence is related to the amount of resources available in the economy where trust needs to be established. If you have a lot of resources, you can spend more on monitoring and surveillance, and afford more losses. When resources become scarce, you climb the control ladder faster and resort to physical violence because you can’t afford not to.
Your life expectancy is how old you will likely be when you'll die. It doesn't go down when you do something harmless for 60 minutes, you just... get 60 minutes older ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So yeah, what this means is you lose 80 minutes every hour.

> So what's the comparison for this number?

In one column you have the age a person died, in another one you have the estimated time they spent driving during their life. Not a rigorous proof of causation, but I mean... which part of the dataset would you like to be in?

Depending on situation, this might be acceptable to some when no other option takes less than 133% more time. But it is something you should definitely take into account. It is also kind of unfair to interpret it like this because cars can screw up traffic for other vehicles too, like traffic jams hinder public transport in my city on a regular basis.
25% raise over 20 years means 86 times increase in salary over a fresher. And no company could pay 5 million dollar or so for an average 20 years of experience. The entire industry hinges on the fact that a person would only change job 5-6 times in 20 years.
Sure it was a stereotype, still there is contract negotiation, there is the law for all cases and what one can manage to put into their contract.

Also get knowledgeable about work law and have a legal insurance.

Even downgrading my example to how things go back home in Portugal versus DACH where I have been for the last 20 years, I would pick our conditions over FAANG salary without the social part.

While I disagree with GP about this applying to most cities in the UK, it's certainly the case that most people in inner London (Z1-3) don't own a car. The people who do own cars mostly don't use them for commuting. Kids seem to be the biggest reason people get a car.

Driving in London is expensive and inconvenient. Parking is extortionate, there's the congestion charge, road taxes, fuel duty and insurance. A car is something you get if you're reasonably well off or you need it for work (e.g. you're a tradesman).

Travelcards are expensive too - London is just expensive unfortunately. But that's a Z1-5 travelcard I think you've quoted. There are other ones and IME a lot of very poor people cycle, use the bus pass (£900) or get a Z2-6 (£1800) then walk from there, if indeed they even work in the centre. Also there are discounted rates for the travelcard depending on circumstances.
> An annual Berlin travel card is about 720€

Or 480€ if you get it trough your employer, which amounts to 40€ a month.
I can't speak about it in the context of open source projects, but here are some general benefits:

* Easier for your reviewers to understand the context of the change => easier to review the code (I think this alone makes it worth it)

* Keeps you accountable to yourself. By clearly describing the problem and the solution, it gives you an opportunity to spot when you're solving the wrong problem, not solving the whole problem, or solving it the wrong way, or including unrelated changes in your commit.

* Provides historical context. Sometimes over time the purpose of a particular part of the code becomes less clear, but with git blame you can immediately see it, assuming the commit message describes it well enough. (Yes, ideally the code will speak for itself or be supported by comments, but we don't live in an ideal world - and the comments may not be in the part of the code you are reading)

* Teaching opportunity - e.g. "we use approach A because the more obvious approach B has problem X" (again, sometimes better captured in comments, but not always)
This is caused by HTTP3. The only way for you to have never experienced this issue would be if Mozilla never integrated HTTP3, which isn't going to happen because the major service providers like Google and Cloudflare are adopting it. Telemetry and updates happening to use HTTP3 merely pushed the issue to the foreground, it would have happened eventually and possibly in a way that got fixed more slowly because it was happening intermittently and only to visitors of obscure websites.

Switching to a browser without telemetry and automatic updates won't protect you from this kind of network stack bug.

That would be my preferred solution. But yes, as you say, that ship has sailed. No reason why it couldn't sail back though.
