1. Remove legacy HTML support. HTML should become a format agnostic DOM. Without any scope of inline style or scripting. So even a markdown document could possibly be natively rendered albeit with limited element support

2. Styling should be done exclusively out of band. CSS is a great tool, but a massive decluttering is required. Native can also be a supported styling option.

3. Same out of band scripting. JS is fine. Support can become language agnostic. wasm and others will come under this.

In conclusion the browser should become a decoupled selectable network of Markup, Styling and Scrpting. So when the developer wants they can style the components with native android widgets or canvas and when they want they can write the business logic in Swift or Rust or Dart

I see browser as a framework provider for native apps with prebaked features like assessibility, multiple input devices, sandboxing, etc
I wish it was Google search that was dying. I suspect the problem is a decline in good quality self published text.

There are adversaries gaming the algorithm and pushing low quality results as alsways and they seem to be thoroughly winning on Youtube. While search isn't working as well as it did for me I am not sure it is entirely a search problem. It used to be that a well selected query would almost magically bring up the desired answer as the first result. Even adding search params to exclude low quality sites like quora there is often nothing in pages of results now, if you even get more than a page or two. I remember when results sets used to be massive. But is it the search that is lacking or the content?

IMO Google deserves a large share of the blame. Killing Google Reader inflicted a huge blow on distributed self-published content and helped drive people towards a bunch of walled gardens and systems that promote low quality content.

Where once the blog reigned supreme now content is in the hands of companies like Facebook and Twitter where ephemeral, low effort writing is either behind a wall or drowned in noise. A lot of blog content is now dripping in blatant promotion of people, products and service.

I bypassed proxy on one impacted endpoint and that seems to have improved things for me. YMMV.
Similarly, if I try https://www.google.com/search?q=u202e, the second result I currently get (YMMV) is from https://unicode-table.com/, and almost the entire snippet shows up backwards in the search results.
Google search still works well for many things, but is SEO spam/bot infested for anything that requires a hive mind opinion about something from mostly genuine people. Like if I want to know what kind of a best in class/best bang for buck/newest [insert product] to buy and have no idea where to start, Google is often the worst place for it.

I'm not sure if that's because most opinions like this are shared on social media like reddit (and in rather unstructured form) instead of on blogs/websites that Google mostly indexes, or if it's just really difficult machine learning problem to formulate something resembling a non-spammy consensus opinion from experts by just crawling shitloads of websites that all try to SEO spam the crawler
>"The Soviets took German scientists, too, but returned them to Germany in the 1950s."

Interesting. Could you elaborate on this? Was there a specific incident or reason why Russia "returned them to Germany"?
Yeah. Mistakes are going to happen and what really separates the good companies from the bad ones is how they deal with those mistakes. This seems to be a good example (for the reasons you stated). I have seen plenty of incident reports from other services that don't really tell me what happened or what exactly was done about it. That's when I feel unhappy. Within reason. I'd still be pretty unhappy if a company was really negligent, even if they had a really great incident report :P
Creating the installation media via a Chrome Extension sure is a wonky process.

First try: can't actually do it from Linux Chrome, has to be Windows/Mac/Chromebook.

Second try, on Windows: Extension downloads the image. Windows asks if I want to allow Chrome to make system changes. Then Chrome crashes.

Third try, on the same machine: The exact same image is downloaded again. The progress bar for unpacking the image goes to 250%, and -15 seconds remaining. Writing the USB stick finally works.

The extension is able to write raw data to a USB device, which seems like rather privileged hardware access. But there is nothing in the permissions section of the extension suggesting there is anything special about it. That seems really strange.

(It was just creating the image that was odd. Once that was done, everything was smooth on a Windows 8-era Samsung laptop.)
Nice article.
I built my own online version of a turn based board game because none exists at the moment. I just want to play with my family so I didn't bother coding a server at all, instead all clients communicate their actions to all others so I naturally implemented the deterministic approach. I haven't thought about secret state so it's interesting to see a possible solution for that. Fun!
The Jesse Gelsinger case is probably the most relevant here.

Not really a compromise but there was a point where they weren’t wiping block devices by default: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6983097

Not sure if that’s changed. (Hopefully it has!)
Bravo on that reference link, that is a brutally succinct example of behavior we generally seem to dismiss.

We haven't changed anything. Promise. Honest. Not at all. But we definitely want to look into any cases where people feel this isn't working, so actual examples (if people are comfortable sharing) will really help.

What you're talking about is probably a case where there's a quoted word or phrase as well as other words that aren't quoted. In such a case, we're going to absolutely look for content that matches the quoted parts. That's a must. The other words, we'll look for them, but we'll also look for related words and sometimes, we might find content that doesn't match one of them.

Because those other words aren't quoted, we'll tell you if we find a match that seems helpful but doesn't contain those non-quoted words. That's what the message is about. But it should never be telling you we omitted a quoted word or phrase because we won't -- with one exception.

If there's literally nothing on the web we know of that matches a quoted word or phrase, then we're not going to show anything at all and say we couldn't match any documents.
I always thought they did it purely for the show - and now even my mom is a big fan of SpaceX, so they were very successful.
People are conservative because of their upbringing, community, and their own personally decided values. People are gay because of their genetics.

Thus there are many people who are both conservative by choice but gay by nature. No doubt they would love to meet other gay people who share their politics.

It’s possible this app would be perfect for them. The only downside I thought was that since they may not be openly gay, they wouldn’t want to take the chance of being outed but the apps messaging seems to revolve around the idea that conservative are an embattled minority so it may have the appearance (and maybe reality if features are built in) of protecting user privacy.
Are there any independent assessments that back up the F9 reuse costs? It's hard for me to parse what is Musk hype vs. what is reasonable and objective estimates.

We blocked the entire of Linode AS63949 ranges because we were getting attacked from random owned nodes and it was tripping our IDS constantly. Just got fed up with it in the end and decided to hose them.

To note, we have had problems with AWS blocking random addresses as well where we've had staff abroad.
I don't mind CRTs. What does bother me somewhat is the narrative that they're somehow better than the displays we use today; your use case has to be so narrow and specific to benefit from a CRT is any meaningful way that most people may as well just ignore they existed. They're less color accurate, have horrible artifacting ("but it makes pixel art look better!"), force you to choose between refresh rate and resolution, are massive and heavy and consume more power than most people's computers in the first place.

If you're a retro fetishist or an analog gaming nut, then I could see how you might get something out of it. For everyone else, save your money and buy anything else. The price that good CRTs demand is simply absurd when compared to their cheaper, flatscreen alternatives.
This could be good thing for competition and the future... don't let yourself confuse change for bad...
Or they'll make Linode "call for pricing".

I said that having the ability to send anyone any transaction and to their eyes have it look like any other sort of interaction they like unless they can read solidity and audit the code themselves is a very very large security hole.

do you have recommendations on alternatives that are not tied to a cloud provider?
Households to number of homes built is exactly the same as it was in year 2000. You can compute it yourself using FRED data.

1.1 homes per household (or vice versa).

People who count from 2010 are cherrypicking the underbuilding decade while ignoring the overbuilding decade, 2000s.

There is no "shortage" of homes, there's a shortage of homes listed currently.
Because that's the correct intuition. The contemporary world is not designed for sane people. All the systems around us are designed to alienate people from each other with artificial intermediators like money, status, fame, and just generally useless toys and gadgets. To succeed in such a world you have to have sociopathic tendencies. You have to value material goods and possessions over people which is kinda insane when you really think about it.

The fracking disposal industry will likely be one of the next big dominoes to fall. It's awash in lowest-bidder LLCs dumping all sorts of horrifying chemicals wherever they can get away with it.

A few have been busted so far but with the explosion of fracking / waste in the past 15 years - there's no way for regulators to stay on top of it.

https://www.opb.org/news/article/radioactive-fracking-waste-...

> The agency found that Chemical Waste Management dumped nearly 1,284 tons of radioactive waste it received from Goodnight Midstream over a period of three years, totaling over 2.5 million pounds.

..

> Initially, Chemical Waste Management had no records of a relationship with Goodnight Midstream. But it was later confirmed that the North Dakota company contracted a third party, Oilfield Waste Logistics, to dispose of its solid waste. Shipping manifests showed that OWL was sending Goodnight Midstream’s waste to Arlington.

https://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/2014/03/fracking_com...

> The owner of a Youngstown oil- and gas-drilling company pleaded guilty today to ordering an employee to dump tens of thousands of gallons of fracking waste into a tributary of the Mahoning River.

1. He did not burn down the building, per your own source. He was nearby and "assisted". His charge is, from ABC:

> Federal investigators said they reviewed video of Hunter firing rounds with his AK-47 style assault rifle into the Third Precinct building while looters were still inside and that he also *helped assist* them in setting the building on fire.

(emphasis added)

2. The people who did burn down the building are not Boogaloo associated. See my original link.

Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize the problem with functions and indeed misunderstood.

I mean, while it's amazing what you can do with bash, I'd be wary to use it for "production" stuff. So far, I mostly used it for "toolbox" type if stuff that is only supposed to be used by the devs. For that purpose, it worked well though.
This is the kind of public service the FDA should be doing.
you're making a statement of faith, not science. you want to believe that the experts you have faith in are consistent truth-seekers and truth-tellers, but that's a (political) belief, not a (scientific) fact. you have no way of confirming even a single sliver of veracity that way, especially not through so-called 'expert concensus'. rather than contriving a simplistic strawman, to find truth and facts in a social system, you still must use your own little brain to discern sociopolitical machinations (on top of merely technical observations), rather than naively trying to offload it to others. our brains have evolved over millions of years to do exactly that.

I used to own a 6th Gen iPod Classic. Loved the device, hated the "Apple experience" of having to sync with iTunes and not being able to simply transfer files. I recently stumbled upon DankPods on YouTube and it's really inspired me to try to acquire an old iPod and mod it with flash storage and a new battery. I didn't know about the theming options in Rockbox, which is a piece of software I've always found quite unappealing, so maybe this year is the year I give it a shot!
What is your argument on mortgate rates? That lenders will be unwilling to lend out at (still low) central bank rates due to inflation? I don't follow the reasoning.

I still have a visceral reaction to seeing Beanie Baby's actually be played with. I had young cousins that were into "collecting" them in the 90s, and remember part of it was keeping the tags and not playing with them.

Now I have young kids that immediately yank the tags and carry them to school. I have nieces that have outgrown their's and have passed them down to the family dog as a chew toy. Both give me a moment of 'aaah aaah!' before I can make my rational brain remember they're just a $5 stuffy that once had a bubble.
It's a common misnomer.

Inflation is good for assets once those assets have been valued using an inflation appropriate discount rate. Housing rate now is priced based on a 2% discount rate, not 7%.

After the asset is priced appropriately for the current discount rate, then inflation is good for valuations.

Median wages drive home prices in the long run. It's possible home prices can be sustained if we see median wage rapidly gain over the next few years. Gasoline going up and driving CPI inflation doesn't make housing more affordable. Only increase in incomes/buying power.

Example: the 10y treasury was recently at 1%. If you bought that as an inflation hedge you would have lost a lot of money. Once people realize inflation is here to stay, they won't accept lower rates of returns.

Now it yields 2%, and soon likely 3%. Holding cash is better than holding a treasury during the repricing phase. Same logic applies for other assets.

Real home prices were super low in the 70s relative to today. Also wage inflation was very strong. I believe wages doubled over the decade. That alone implies a 2x gain in prices ignoring changes in discount rates. Not the same at all.
They're mostly probably not.

I think what’s _more_ surprising to me is that Samsung dropped to 22%.

> I asked for two fucking words, and the top result doesn't include one of them

You are aware that it has always been like this? That's why the "+" operator even exists. Even 10 years ago or more (before Google+ stole the "+" operator), you could get back results that don't actually include your search terms and you'd have to do +gulp +admzip to force their inclusion>

> Messing with the choices people make that scientists, sociologists, and 9 out of 10 dentists think are bad for them and society as a whole isn't easy.

I guess that my more appropriate and more relevant corrected version of the statement didnt sound like it supported the point so the original was phrased as if it’s my own non expert opinion that smoking causes cancer.

fentanyl? Are you saying that should be unregulated and freely purchasable at the local 7/11 or are you saying it should be regulated even although some people choose to do it?

Either way I’m not really sure how that supports the older points about people technically but not practically having the option to avoid misinformation means society should ignore misinformation as it’s “a personal choice”
I use ProtonMail because I want to use an email address at my own domain. It's actually an inconvenience though, because their IOS app does not let me compose a message with VoiceOver, and when I reached out to them, they basically told me that they're not implementing features until they do their UI redesign. Most of the time, I compose messages in a desktop browser, but the few times I've needed to do so from my phone has required me to open Safari and do it from there, which was a pain.

I'm not looking for military grade encryption in a subterrainian mountain; I just want email at my domain from a service that doesn't read all of my emails and profile me based on their contents. I've looked into hosting my own email from a VPS, but it's not a trivial project, and I'm most worried about being blacklisted before I even start, since it seems most VPS providers are.

Any recommendations?
That's freaking awesome. For those unaware, the RP2040 microcontroller has several Programmable IO (PIO) cores, which are essentially standalone state machines that read/write directly from memory to the GPIO pins. Unlike bitbanging the pins with the CPU, you can implement much more timing-sensitive protocols while reducing CPU usage at the same time. There's demos of people implementing VGA out, digital audio, all sorts of interesting protocols.

Builders have been working as fast as they can (and sometimes faster than they should) around here non-stop since maybe 2011 or 2012, and it's not enough. Tons of new neighborhoods, probably half the apartment buildings I know of were put up in the last ten years, and so on, but house prices and rent are nuts and still increasing faster than inflation anyway.

We're at the end of what sure looks like about a decade-long housing construction boom, in my city, which is not trendy or growing very fast, and prices have done nothing but go up at 2-5x the rate of CPI the entire time. It's possible the under-supply was so bad that all the construction still isn't enough to catch up, but then why did prices not start higher than they did? I find it hard to believe that this city's gained new residents faster than it's gained new housing. Something else is going on.
Looking from the end user end it seems nice, but will soon be weaponized in all possible mannar, sloppily executed, and too much data to ingest.

For reference there is mandatory disclosure of (serious) data breaches in the GPDR and it's very uncommon that the disclosure actually occurs.
I think that's a good thing, as these things have a tendency to devolve to "shouting matches" quite quickly. I've never ended up on the "wrong side of the mod tools" and I've frequently engaged in conversation on these kind of topics, often with a viewpoint that doesn't match the current US "politically correct" one (I dislike that term, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it concisely right now). Just remain respectful, be on-topic, and write more than a one-line dismissal or the like and you should be good.
Yes, I've been struck by how often the "constant honking = terrorism" claim has been made. It indicates that there is seemingly no better argument against what the truckers are doing; if there were, it would be cited instead.
In a perfect world, I think everyone has access to their own stem cells as opposed to sifting thru donor pool.

Donating is definitely awesome, but there's a lot of research surrounding how cord blood transplantation from related donors (or yourself) increases your chance of survival from a stem cell transplant vs. using an unrelated donor. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199708073370602 - there's a chance of rejection. This woman found a partial match, but she was lucky. I assume she's only 2 races or a common mix i.e. half white, half something else

Finding a match later on can also be much more expensive than keeping your own!
Eventually, though, even non technical users will stop Google searching if it wastes their time. If they do not find what they want, then they can go back to asking people in person or instagram or whatever, but I would not expect people to keep aimlessly searching.
I don’t think progressives consider themselves to be ideological either.

On all the topics where progressive values have won out (abortion, trans and gay rights) progressives view themselves as being unbiased and damn near apathetic (e.g. the messaging of it doesn’t affect us, thus we don’t care to make laws against it).
