It would be cool if help2man worked perfectly. In fact the output needs a few fixups -- it looks like it has problems with non-ASCII characters?

But if those fixups can be made automatically it's not bad and I agree might be worth adding to the build.
Whoops, is it fixed now?

Agreed.

Although what is the alternative in a world where producing digital copies is a matter of pressing a button?

The whole idea of IP is to protect content creators. Those content creators sell their IP to large corporates to maximise their earning potential. Corporates subsequently take steps to protect those rights. Taking the ability to take those steps away from corporates by extension means taking those rights away from content creators. Is that what you're advocating for?

> PS: What adds salt to injury is that you're using Google Fonts on this website. If you were privacy-conscious, you'd self-host at least.

I get what you're saying, but i feel like that's probably a sliding scale of how much people actually care about these things vs how much they want to just easily get things done.

For example, right now my personal website serves the following files, just to get Open Sans working:

/fonts/open-sans-latin.woff2
/fonts/open-sans-latin-ext.woff2
/fonts/open-sans-latin-bold.woff2
/fonts/open-sans-latin-ext-bold.woff2

What's the CSS for displaying just one of those fonts? It's the following:

/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Open Sans';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-display: swap;
src: local('Open Sans'), url(/fonts/open-sans-latin.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}

Of course, depending on the browsers that you want to support and how efficient you want things to be, you might end up using more than just the WOFF2 format or just adding a TTF font and calling it a day, which will further inflate the amount of configuration that you need.

Furthermore, the characters that you'll want to show on your site will also make you write more code, just look at what Google does for Open Sans: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans&display=s...

Oh, and more styles? Well, be ready to add all of those as well, since most of the fonts out there won't necessarily be variable: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans#standard-styles

In comparison, Google Fonts just lets you choose what you want and copy something like the following:

HTML:
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

CSS:
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;

While we're on the topic of fonts, it's a shame that we don't think more about how heavy the fonts we choose to use are, since right now serving my own fonts eats up around half of the bandwidth on my non-image-heavy site. The single article that i've found on the topic so far as been this, "Smallest (file size) Google Web Fonts": http://www.oxfordshireweb.com/smallest-file-size-google-web-...

In my opinion, those sizes should also be readily available in the web UI of Google Fonts, or most other sites that recommend fonts out there!
I don’t trust articles like this at all. It looks like some PR stuff Facebook intentionally plants in order to change public perception.
I wonder if adding a random salt for each account would help in that situation?.

bcrypt(md5(password) + salt) + salt

the problem with password shucking would be that they just do a bcrypt(md5) over the list of md5 hashes they have and check if they exist in your database.

but if each hash is salted they would need to run every their complete md5 hash list through bcrypt for each account instead of once per database.

You could combine it with something like this

SocketBindDeny=any
SocketBindAllow=tcp:80
SocketBindAllow=tcp:443

These ports should be denied by the kernel because they're already taken by httpd, and all other will be denied by bpf filters installed by systemd.

Only apply for jobs you're actually qualified for. I'm currently screening resumes for a junior-ish position at a small companny. What I'm noticing is that even though we specify knowledge in certain areas, and people check the little box that says they have that knowledge, almost all of them actually don't list that knowledge on their resume. I pass on those.
Sure. You can set up an address somewhere. Rent it. Set up some kind of mail forwarding or go there regularely to get it.

Sure. You can put in a day of work to self host or write your own analytics solution.

But this already puts you at a disadvantage. Because of the time you have to invest and the sub par solutions. Google Analytics is simply better than the alternatives.

And it does not end here. Every website I know uses a multitude of international tools. All of them connecting the visitor to some international servers which provide the service. Cutting European indie makers off from all these tools will put them at a huge disadvantage.
I think you're onto something but from the wrong angle. Netflix/Amazon/Hulu are paying these content creators up-front to be create these shows with no added payoff if the show ends up being a huge hit. There's then no incentive for the creators to put any extra effort into making the show since they won't get rewarded for it. Of course, this is all hypothesis and there are certainly counterexamples that can be brought up.

Now, I think these creators are banking their effort/ideas in the hopes that theaters will make a comeback at some point. However, at some point it will become clear that theaters are dead and that there will need to be a new business model (or acceptance of the current model) that creators will simply need to accept.

> I think this situation is much closer to what's going on in the original post. No one's life is threatened, but the letter of the law has been broken.

I strongly disagree.

First, it's not just the letter of the law which is violated. The basic intent of the law is at odds with the actions of Google Analytics.

Starting with Safe Harbour, Privacy Shield and now the standard contractual clauses, the courts consistently decided that no matter how precisly it is formulated, data is just not sufficiently protected by current US laws to allow sharing.

Also the important difference with Hacker News is that Hacker News violating these rules mostly affects Hacker News itself, while GA violating the rules leads to liability risks for web developers who keep transmitting third party personal data to it.
Considering GDPR is not legislation that applies to private individuals, Im rather confused what you are talking about.
> My understanding is that since the Cambridge Analytical issue, Facebook now manages all its data access in-house

That was the case since, at least, I joined FB via an ad-tech acquisition, mid 2010s. We had a feature that allowed customers to host their own assets. That was the first thing that we had to remove after integrating with the FB stack.

/edit: the CA scandal was ~ mid 2010s, my statement doesn't help. We joined before the scandal, by quite some time.
To me, it reads as some of it is hyperbole for emphasis after they already made their point.

Their main point is pretty good.
After a good nights sleep I think I want to revise this (can't edit).

I think it's prudent not to even buy a Smart TV and use it in "dumb mode". If we do this, we are not voting with our wallet. I'm not sure how likely we would be to have a large enough effect numbers wise but one can try. If we don't try, we've already lost.

She's not proposing a falsiable hypothesis here which can compete in the marketplace of ideas. We're talking about the normal distribution. If she doesn't know what it is, that casts doubt on her understanding of all the other basics she learned during her undergrad and PhD. If (more likely) she does and she's just being dishonest, that casts doubt on everything she says for a different reason.
I think it's a movement about fixing work conditions and somewhat aggressive towards corporations and their practices. Taking it to an extreme may be a push to kill off the movement.
The moment someone touches them their value will tank. Part of the bitcoin speculation is that massive wallets like this one are frozen and out of the market. When people "invest" by buying hundredths of bitcoin, someone reintroducing 1.1 million will make them wary.

These wallets might as well be considered trip wired, some people monitor them constantly.

I don't believe this is realistic, but what if the policy could reduce online child grooming to near-zero? Would it be worth outlawing secure communication?

I think that it would not.
So the reason people do emotionally charged marketing like this is because it generally works. We on HN are probably not (entirely) the same group that this is getting sold to, we may see the BS here a little more clearly or have a more principled view on things like this.

BUT most people do not have the same distaste towards this type of marketing so -- don't hate the players, hate the game. If you want things like this to stop then it's probably up to government regulation to curtail it otherwise, for smaller competitors where it's already difficult enough to establish a market position, they would just be hamstringing themselves by not playing to the same emotionally charged marketing style.

If you're a business and you deliberately stay away from marketing like this -- that's great, honestly I'm personally more likely to try your product and I'd like to think I'd do the same in my own work but I really can't blame companies who take this route either.

Why would I need to shop on my phone when I can call and order something? (when sales reps were common enough at retails stores you didnt have to be on hold)

Why do my parents still avoid buying stuff online? People have preferences. Mine, and it sounds like yours, is buying quickly from my phone. But I still go to retail stores most of the time if I want to buy clothes, shoes, hats. Anything physical. I'm not saying VR would replace that need but being able to try something digitally on rather than just see a photo online would be at least one use case.
Back in the day (finishing up my PhD thesis in 1998) I would write C code with functions like

some_method(Object* this, ...)

that was effectively "object based" even if there was no support for inheritance. Ultimately this style reifies data structures as objects and provides a systematic approach to many problems such as how you allocate memory. The one area where I feel it falls short is that there ought to be some way of switching from struct-of-arrays to arrays-of-struct representations.

This is not too different from how many real object-oriented systems are implemented.

There is a quite a bit of overlap between "using functional programming techniques to implement an object-oriented style" and "using object-oriented techniques to implement a functional programming style."

There's nothing more annoying in the lower teachings of programming that circulate than the "FUNCT10NS RULE, 0BJECTS DR001" sentiment you see so much of.
For me it was about making it simple and always present. Before I would have to copy and paste things into Google calendar from my project management tool or task manager, and then I would constantly be switching back and forth between the two tools.

Now, all my tasks from my project managers are in Taskable, as is my calendar. I don't have to switch between the two, and I can do all my daily planning in one place.

So now that its quick and easy to do the timeblocking/timeboxing, I find myself staying on top of it more, and also readjusting how I spend my time throughout the day.

I wrote a blog post on my new productivity routine with timeblocking if helpful: https://taskablehq.com/blog/productivity-system-2021
I use this all the time, and I tell everyone else to as well.
I don't agree with this analysis. If mining becomes 100x more efficient, and the difficulty goes up 100x, you have not gained any security. The security comes from the amount of money spent on energy to mine the current chain, and the fact that someone seeking to mine a parallel chain to double-spend (or whatever else) would need to spend a greater amount of money to mine even faster.

So if miner's collectively spend $X on energy to mine the next block, it doesn't matter whether that buys them one hash or a trillion hashes - someone looking to mine a parallel chain would just have to spend $(X+1) at the same hashes/energy efficiency.
I think stories like this are read more widely than a lot of folks in forums such as HN suppose (often forwarded via email), and provide additional motivation for workplace surveillance solutions.

After all, if a manager can identify when tasks are being automated away by an idle employee, they've also identified a task that can be done manually by a cheaper employee. The alternative is getting rid of the position entirely and keeping the automation, but then the manager has to take responsibility for pushing the button.
"Crippled" is a big word. It does everything that KeePass would do, for example; it only falls short when it comes to sharing passwords among a group or family (you can send a secret via BW Send, but you cannot have a shared store unless you pay for Premium).

> Why would anyone expect important services to be free?

I think the "common person" does not see these as growth hacks. The internet is full of things that "appear" free, and have "appeared" free forever.

You have x-ray vision for how these businesses work internally, and you describe the playbook very accurately, but most people do not have this kind of context.

Which makes it hard for those people to distinguish "good people doing good work for the good of all" from the playbook you describe. It's especially hard when the company describes itself as the former externally.

> Capital incentives unchecked by a counter balance of leadership actually believing in the mission of the company can lead to bad outcomes.

This is true. As a customer, depending on the good-will of leadership to counterbalance the influence of capital is depending on humans, and even really good ones are fallible and temporal.

A for-profit company blessed with good leadership today does not guarantee a for-profit company with good leadership tomorrow, a year from now, and so-on. Eventually, within the constructs of a for-profit company, capital always wins.

> In my opinion great products need a strong balance of capital and ideals.

Yep yep, value creation and openness are not mutually exclusive, and one does not have a monopoly on the other.

However, I'd argue that value capture and openness are mutually destructive: only one wins in the end, and the total victory of either marks the death of a business (i.e. something that generates profits for shareholders).

From a consumer's point of view, once an organization gets in the mindset of optimizing for value capture over value creation and openness, it's time to consider moving on.

The paradigm-shift of software is that the victory of openness no longer means the destruction of customer value, because OSI-licensed software can outlive the business.

> You've accurately noted that the current social justice movement lacks the violence of the Cultural Revolution, but that does not mean it doesn't have other similarities.

Most social change movements have similarities. The civil rights movement, the anti-slavery movement, the women's suffrage movement, the equal rights movement ... these all have similarities with the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It is precisely because they lack the violence that equating them to the CCR is a distraction and also poses its own dangers.
Unless you're suggesting that tenants should be able to live in someone else's property for free (at which point it effectively ceases to be the original owner's property) or you're referring to some wider societal problems that lead to rents being too high/tenants being too poor then I'm not really sure what problem you're referring to.

Funny, I have a DSI PolyEvolver, and when one voice decided to go on the fritz with an intermittent issue, I couldn't find a schematic anywhere (that's because DSI hasn't made a technical service manual available for years). Not that other synth manufacturers are more forthcoming with service manuals, but they are at least "available", which helps immensely when troubleshooting. DSI was very helpful, but in the end, the issue turned out to be a lead-free solder joint issue on one the DSP legs (early lead-free solder was prone to cracking under repeated heating and cooling cycles).

Not sure what the article is implying by saying the Prophet has interesting silkscreen designs or instructions - that may help remove the right components to send back to DSI, but doesn't help someone diagnose and repair the board themselves. Oh, also, I have successfully replaced the battery in a Sonicare toothbrush without destroying it - still working to this day.
