Does the USA:

1) Arrest you without telling you why?
2) Give you no access to a lawyer?
3) Give you no access to translation?
4) Have a debt system in prison, forcing to pay with money you don't have?
5) Retroactively apply laws?
6) Extend imprisonment indefinitely on made-up charges?
7) Ruled by a monarchy?

All the things you list boil down to pointing out the US system is imperfect, not that the system is bad by its very nature and design. UAE cannot be fixed without changing its ruling and legal system. The US can be fixed by improving its existing systems to make them more fair.

Also, the reason you point the failing of the US systems is because media is reporting on those failures. Not foreign media, local ones.
How does any of this relate to the accusation that 'desktop Linux is a mess'?
I like the ideas behind taler.

» GNU Taler is an open protocol for an electronic payment system with a free software reference implementation. GNU Taler offers secure, fast and easy payment processing using well understood cryptographic techniques. GNU Taler allows customers to remain anonymous, while ensuring that merchants can be held accountable by governments. Hence, GNU Taler is compatible with anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulation, as well as data protection regulation (such as GDPR).

Seriously. Once a mobile app is granted access to contacts, it has your entire social graph. Every app since 2012 has been building these shadow social graphs.
>Men stalking and using guns on women and girls isn't uncommon at all.

I would say it's pretty uncommon.
The big missing feature that's lacking is to pull Docker images and run them without resorting to hacks.
There are a lot more in the way of costs than simply the application fee - which in the last round was $185k. For example you need to stick a significant amount of cash into an escrow account to guarantee the continuity of the registry if you go bust or walk away. I think we had to put in something like $200k.

Developing all the registry documentation is also hugely costly.

If you’re running an open gTLD chance are you initial set up costs are around $1m.

I ran a registry for a while on behalf of some investors who had been sold a pig in a poke.
It's very possible - in fact that Brian Herbert "fact" does ring a bell. Very unlikely to be true, given his books go off on a totally different, more Warhammer 40K-like direction.
Of course that's unfair. Always has been.
That’s true of literally any rare disaster. That’s why they’re called disasters.

Better not fly.
The GDPR isn't a "don't track" law, it's a "tell me what data you collect on me, what you're going to do with it, who are you going to share it with, and allow me to refuse that, retroactively if need be" law. Vastly more nuance than an on/off toggle.
Having to do an authentication check on every request is suboptimal, but ok in many cases. It's just very unfortunate that more protocol explicitly directing secure interactions between the user and the user-agent in managing identity and authentication never really emerged.
The freedom to send absolutely anonymous payments comes with the cost of people using said freedom to extort people in an untraceable manner, and fund illicit activities that harm society such as terrorism. Every freedom comes with a cost, but usually the freedom to do such an act greatly outweighs the cost.

I am interested in why we should live with the cost of this? What are the real benefits to society? Not just hypothetical ones, but what are real uses of paying someone completely anonymously that have the benefit of outweighing the real harms we have already seen?
Linux actually has excellent 4K support. If you primarily use KDE and QT applications under x11 what you need to do is virtually nothing or set DPI. GTK apps can be adjusted by setting GDK_SCALE=Integer. If you want to tweak text bigger or smaller set your default font size in GTK/KDE settings to be larger or smaller.

There is an entire section on handles you can tweak in different environments odds are you need few of them save for the above as things are increasingly automatic. For example GDK_SCALE is enough for firefox to look correct without also fiddling with anything internal to firefox.

Essentially hidpi on Linux is spending 5 minutes reading a wiki then enumerable hours using the system.
Not "wenis"?
Of course it's not the market rate... it's generous after all.
The disconnect with reality is quite astounding. Do you actually believe that the majority interest right now lies with crypto? 'Normal' people have heard about it but have never in their life used crypto for a payment.
> For example, to collect donations, opposition figures like Alexej Navalny are increasingly dependent on anonymous donations in virtual currencies around the world,” says Patrick Breyer, MEP for the Pirate Party Germany and member of the LIBE committee.

Those donations are going to be useless soon, because Russia is going to forbid payments via crypto inside the country and regulate investments in crypto.
Paying someone else to eat a risk is the time honored way. I've already got PayPal. What ultimately makes transactions reversible with regular money is that a person can manually override the ledger.
Definitely. Facebook still has great reputation on the technical side of things and you'll probably learn a lot; also having a large and quite selective company on your CV is a big plus. Who cares about their long term direction, you'll be an intern there.
What about a HTML tag that includes a hash sum? Only request the resource if not already present. That could enable cross-website resource caching without leaking information. (IF the resource the site sends if necessary matches the resource of the tag, otherwise the hash sum would tell the server whether the user visited some other site.)
Hashing content makes more sense than relying on the URL staying the same IMHO.
None of the digital payments were anonymous, but still private.

You don't need anonymity to have privacy.

Before you downvote, really think about this for a moment. Because you'll realise that almost none of your payments are anonymous, unless you pay cash (while being recorded).
"Cloud" is apt, for he is the one who brings darkness...

May the fates hold off the coming of the storm.
If that is true, then google will have bet wrong, and will suffer from people quitting who found better opportunities and need to increase pay to entice others.

If people do not quit, then Google’s bet was correct.
> the added energy will definitely also make men more willing to do the hunt

Perhaps it is you with your interpretation that is misogynistic. The person was writing focusing on men, but both men and women are on the hunt for a compatible partner with which they could build a fulfilling relationship.
That's not what they're doing when they have 24/7 unlimited internet, it certainly ain't wikipedia or looking up animal/computer facts.
This is just to keep on using part time adjuncts and pay them pennies, so the university can funnel the millions in tuition into their endowment. Another step in college becoming adult daycare.
Ehhhh... I get what you're saying here, but I don't think RSS is worth it for emergency alerts.

I'm willing to bet good money <0.5% of the population even use or are aware of RSS. Supporting it also has a very non-trivial cost. Even if it takes a few hours for an engineer to implement it, it'll need to be added to their testing plan to make sure it's reliable.

Then if it breaks, you'll neen to find another expensive techie ASAP to fix it, as it's an emergency service. If someone is relying on the alerts through RSS, there's potential for catastrophe in an emergency situation if it fails.

So I'd rather the money go towards tech that gets a message out to as many people as possible, be it through facebook or other proprietary service. Human lives are potentially on the line, so whatever system is used needs to be stream lined the same way existing emergency systems are.
I totally understand that some people would not choose to make the tradeoff, and they are free not to. Inherently, anyone broadcasting video of their everyday life is going to be doxxable if they are not extremely careful about how much information they are putting out. The sunshine laws in this case may have helped but I don't think we know that. The article doesn't mention them at any rate.
There's a third option here. And arguably a fourth.
Many countries have already made that more painful that by eliminating large bills.
>Maybe if everyone wasn't leaking my entire lifes history to 58 different adtech shitcompanies the EU wouldn't have needed to step in.

But it's not "everyone" - it's you. Your computer sends out all the information that is requested from it. That's how the internet is built. Even when a website tries to use an external font it is still your browser that asks the font host for the font.

He is. He is PR savvy, knows how to present stuff in a way that it gets lapped up and because Ballmer sucked at this he looks so much better. But Nadella was there during all of the bad tricks that Microsoft pulled, he's as much a part of the old guard as Ballmer was.

I mean, that's what Big Tech pays many here for, isn't it?
I agree that this is broken, but that's an unrelated issue? Cost of living in Raleigh-Durham is also not lower than REMOTE-NC.

Instead, the problem is inaccuracy in estimating cost of labor. That is, they are trying to base it on cost of labor and failing.
Where's the "I don't want ads" button?
Gnome is the only linux desktop environment that got 4k (sort of) right. If you don't like gnome then you are on your own. I use sway/wayland for work and i3/xorg for home and I got them to work in 4k after days of customization. Wayland, X, sway, each version of gtk, qt, and various apps all have their own configuration, each which need to be configured separately, often with conflicting results, and when finally functioning, still don't work very well.
Basebands are very much still closed proprietary mostly black boxes, with DMA access to your phone. Such a thing doesn't exist because it's not in test equipment suppliers interests to undercut their existing market so thoroughly, where they'd rather sell you an analyzer that costs the same as a car. Combined with how patent encumbered LTE is in the US, there's only a slim chance of seeing such a thing.
Sure it is. The artists have to eat somehow.
Meanwhile, I got sick of fixing my brother's laptop and threw Ubuntu on it quite a few years back. I didn't hear from him again about it until the screen physically broke. Ubuntu "just worked" for him in ways that Windows didn't, and he's not in IT at all (he's a mechanic), and isn't very patient either.

I showed him how to install software on it through the Synaptic store or whatever it was at the time, and he just ran with it.
They insisted on being able to patch firefox. Firefox insisted if they did they couldn't legally call it firefox without being sued. In the meanwhile it was entirely possible to download an archive of the latest firefox release and drop it in a directory on your home and add its directory to PATH. It could even update itself from there if you liked.
You’ve missed the point. What are you going to do with the solar power in the remote desert? There are no people within hundreds of kilometers. You can’t just mail them the electricity. That’s where Bitcoin comes in, because you can fully utilize that power and then ‘mail’ the output via the internet.
We tried the budget approach, and for us it just leads to endless discussions, especially when we wanted to do something that interfered with their screen time (eg. they didn't want to go to the pool or visit grandma because then they wouldn't have time for minecraft).

I personally think that a bit of leniency works better than totally rigid rules.

But it's of course still a constant struggle, because what works one week doesn't work the next, as the kids are going through different phases all the time.
Transmitted power is measured in watts. dB is sometimes used to measure received power, but it depends on the location of the receiver, what kind of antenna is being used, and so on.
If you have nothing better, take it. Meta wont disappear overnight.
> the extent to which you open yourself up to harassment and stalking is only understood after-the-fact.

Some things are hard to learn the easy way. In any case, as I observed, the tradeoff seems worth it to the subject of the article and her family, even now they are made forcefully aware of the possible downsides. Perhaps it ultimately will not be but I personally don't feel like I'm in a position to dictate how they should balance the risks and rewards of stardom.
Good luck with that, then. Most stolen property is disposed of within hours.
I wonder if nobody in the EU regulatory bodies read what Snowden shared. The fact that requests go to US based datacenters has no impact on US's ability to spy on foreign citizens. They latch on to fiber cables everywhere and slurp up all the data they can. What EU should be doing is telling US to reel in their agencies or else all US tech companies get taxed out of the wazoo for operating in the EU. But no, instead all European citizens and businesses have to suffer through these braindead restrictions in how buttons are placed or what popups are needed as if they have any impact on privacy whatsoever.

Social media didn't enforce real name policies, Facebook dot com did. Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, the right-wing sites-- none of those (nominally) require you to divulge PII to open an account (although try opening a Twitter account in $currentYear and see how long you last before they lock your account for 'unusual activity' until you provide both a phone number + e-mail address)

VSCode is great, Github only got better under Microsoft, and I'm actually one of the people who likes Teams... But even as a general fanboy (Win98 was the system that really got me into computers), it is just too much bullshit at this point. While before I had a Linux partition for specific work, and my main "digital life" on windows, I'm going to switch this around now.

And it sucks so much, there is no good reason but short-sighted greed to push for this, I'm happy to pay for a windows version I own and feel like an owner of, this kind of product just isn't developed anymore apparently.
Please take this as an honest question: as a vegetarian and someone with likely above average empathy for animals, don't you feel uneasy about keeping fish in acquariums?

I eat meat so I'm not claiming any moral ground, on the contrary I very much keep in high esteem people who avoid animal products, but the idea of keeping a living creature in a tiny living space feels incredibly sad to me, and it seems surprising that someone like you would do it.

> You will never be paid what a job is "worth".

Unless you're in sales, a major league sport, or a C-level position. Then you're paid according to the "value" you bring to your team.
On paper, sure. In practice, it’s a quick path to “yeah whatever I accept all your stuff just show me the damn content I came here for”. The web would be much better off if the law was implanted with normal consumers and sane defaults in mind.
Knowing that Steve Jobs himself wrote the numbers

I have been repeatedly told by the Woz worshippers on HN that Jobs was nothing more than a salesman who has zero involvement with the actual machines.

If I can't believe revisionist internet historians, who can I believe?
In a sense, time will.

In Canada, they withdrew the 500, 100 bills. This was 40 years ago, approx.

Now, the biggest bill, the 100, is more like a 20 was back then. Eventually, the 100 will be like a 5, then 1, and so on.

One day, you'll need a wheelbarrow of 100s, to pay your rent with cash, for example.

In this way, all transactions will slowly shift to electronic, and trackable.

The same is true of cash deposits, in Canada. Decades ago, a law was passed, and anything suspicious, or over 10k deposited, in cash, must be reported.

10k was a lot back then, when you could buy a house for less than 50k. Now isn't really.

Which means that over time, more and more cash users get tracked, and reported, by default.

Everyone's a risk manager until they have to do it every day, and then they find themselves constrained by last week's fears to the extent that they can no longer leave the house without a haz-mat suit, armed bodyguard, and one-way plane ticket to a remote village in Switzerland
Thats interesting, I went to their Conductor meetup last week and someone asked this question on whether Conductor is being replaced. They confirmed that one team is trying Temporal and Conductor is the primary orchestration tool in Netflix. There is a lot of new buzz around Conductor now given recent meetup.

I reached out to the guy trying Temporal at Netflix, apparently he never tried Conductor first. Big company problems I guess.

It will be interesting to see the future of Conductor given the Temporal efforts.
If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have to ask.
3 days is an excruciatingly long time for someone with a heroin addiction. An internet addiction is more like a weed addiction.
Pure speculation on my part, but having it around 5 feet tall is presumably for the optical cameras to have a better view of the majority of adult human faces. If you're talking a remote control car (at least like the one I had as a kid), any camera is either going to get great photos of people's ankles & shins, up their noses if they're close, or lose detail because they'll have to be too far away to get a decent angle to look at a face.
And cryptocurrencies have huge scaling issues cashing out!
I've encountered machines with Windows 11 preinstalled that by all appearances were not going to let you proceed with setup without connecting, but Alt-F4 would get you past that step. More recently I've seen some machines that have a "Continue with limited setup" option similar to what Win10 offered.
I think that fight makes sense, not to win it but to make sure the bills they pass are sensible.

Like there should be a non-small burden to de-anonymize things.

Mainly to reduce misuse potential.
The most surprising thing about this story to me is that there are 14 year olds advertising their venmo wallets.

Sure there are some tweeks that could be made. I'll take what we have currently though over having a designer decide what we really need is something like new Reddit.
I don't get why they make it so god damned difficult to get LTSC. If they just sold it openly it would be popular.
That's an interesting point. Thinking about the timing, how much of the 5G push is due to LTE patents getting ready to expire?
No, you’ve missed the point. The money represents energy. You can’t get a bank loan if you only have 10 dollars. You can get a bank loan if you have an income. The Bitcoin enables you to access money that you could not before. This enables you to invest in better uses of electricity and more efficient means of using it in your home town.

And let me put it to you like this - when you turn on your power, what do you do with it? Well, you use it. You heat your home with it. You cook with it. You turn on your lights with it. What’s the difference if you make money with it? You’re using that energy. It’s really quite simple - in my example, you’re simply using unusable energy, and converting it into money, which you can use to do work.
I think the reason this is not done is it would leak to the website if the user had previously downloaded the same file from a different website.
It can't possibly be new. Multi-billion dollar construction projects are fairly common and that kind of capital investment makes people very clever.

Oil rigs definitely follow the prefabrication and then float-into-position approach, and have been doing that for a long time.

I'm sure there's a good reason why it's more cost effective or feasible to do this instead of drilling a tunnel under the seabed.
Being consistent is the hardest of the important things for parents to do.

Being inconsistent basically turns you into a Skinner box for your kids. Or as one parenting coach I knew used to say "You don't see people sitting zoned out in front of coke machines, just slot machines."

A corollary is to create rules and structure that it is easy to do consistently, even when stressed out.
> If you’re thinking about selling, I’d recommend hiring an advisor firm. They charge a 2-8% fee, but they are worth it. You get better valuations and help with the tricky clauses.

I agree but: you also have to do due diligence on your advisor firm, they are definitely not all created equal, I've seen some of these blow up perfectly good deals and like any other broker their incentives may seem aligned but on closer inspection they really are not. Get them to run the process, but keep them out of the decision making loop other than as a conduit to create breathing room. Never have a quorum of shareholders at the table during negotiations or you're going to get skinned. Get offers, go back to the shareholders / founders and discuss, then counteroffer.
> Is this the new variation of value theory of labour?

I'm very confused here. The value theory of labour is based upon time spent in labour, and not value produced.

The argument was if for whatever reasons, the value produced before moving to Arizona allowed the employer to pay a certain wage, the value provided to the company is still the same post-move, and wages should not change.

This has nothing to do with the value theory of labour, and the employer's stance here more or less aligns with an "input costs determine output" theory of value. This is beyond silly.
Interesting. Is that because you caught them benchmark cheating? :)
The EU hates money.
That is pathetic
Is it unreasonable to think that the market will pay what the market will bear? Surely you can’t expect that the ability to work from anywhere wouldn’t come at a price? Ultimately people will vote with their feet, get replaced by what is now a much greater talent pool and this cycle will continue until an equilibrium is found. I suspect that the sad outcome will be the rise again of places like San Francisco and Seattle.
