> But around the same time, there were four equally bloody and society defining wars in Europe

American history is not just civil war. Texas was annexed 1845 from Mexico and Mexican-American War was 1846-1848. Pretty close to civil war.

> (one of them resulting in the genocide of more than a million Circassian people, two others to the birth of the German nation state), and many more before and after those.

Indian removal (trail of tears) was around the time of civil war. The expanse was not nearly finished in the run up to it. In fact, expanse was what made it blew in a way, because of the "will the new states be slave states or free states" question. Lincoln himself signed laws that gave away a lot of tribal land. The genocidal acts happened after civil war.

Also, when civil war ended, African Americans did engaged in politics and had real successes. In some states they were huge amount of population, over half sometimes. Which led to terrorist campaigns against those active in politics ultimately in loss of civil rights. That is not stability either. This was huge and long inner conflict.

American history is different. But there was a lot going on since 1695. Is was a lot more then just civil war. Just like Russian history is a lot more then Communism, despite pretty much everyone ignoring run up to it.
To begin with, it would be prohibitly expensive, as in fines at the level of 4% of Meta's global revenue. Further consequences could be repeat fines.

Not paying the fines would most likely result in actions like preventing European advertisers from paying for Meta's services.

I suspect it would also open up for outright censorship in some individual member states. There's a lot of politicians who would be happy about limiting their more SoMe-savvy colleagues from using Meta's services to reach voters, or to stop fake news as well as legitimate opposition media.
It depends on your company. For a startup or a small company doing basic things, where the IT is not where the innovation is, I would pick a cloud provider and go all in.

Otherwise I would rather be cloud agnostic when it makes sense. Because the cloud provider you pick will have many bad / low quality / expensive products that you will be forced to use because using another cloud provider is too much efforts. Being cloud agnostic allows you to use the best on the market.

Doesn't it just boil down to "try to stay informed about the market" and evaluate your own motives (growth, stability, etc) accordingly?

I don't see a whole lot wrong with either changing jobs frequently or staying at one place. I know people on both ends of that spectrum, one guy I know started at a Japanese bank before the 87 crash and is still there, another guy has had 6 jobs in 12 years.

I would say go have a look now, though. Just to stay informed on what's out there and what people think your value is.

>conflating rate-limiting with input monitoring when I have been unequivocably stating the distinction between the two as soon as the "zinger" accusation was first made.

What you are doing here is making that esoteric assumption that their rate limiting is being triggered by _how fast the user is typing_ and then writing essay after essay about how inappropriate it is.

Nobody has provably stated that 'Facebook’s systems determined that you were going too fast when taking an action.' refers to typing cadence instead of frequency of replies. That point needs to be proven before being discussed.

Please back up your assumption if you wish it to be discussed. Few people want to waste their life discussing paranoid fantasies.

Sometimes it's not about switching clouds on a regular basis, but the possibility to switch clouds. Otherwise you can simply add access to your bank account to your cloud provider.
Thanks for the feedback! It's really great to hear appreciation like that.

This is an awesome point, and one which we're keenly aware of. This is how we think about this:

Constructor must serve different roles with their own notions of success, and those notions may be at odds. That is, there are some tensions and tradeoffs within teams that exist independently of any tool, e.g., managers want stuff reported but developers just want to build software and not fill out TPS reports.

So our approach to solving your biggest problem is to try to create the best UX for each role, period, which implies Constructor must mediate these tensions where possible. For instance, our approach to blockers is very lightweight and we saw immediate uptake from devs when this was released, indicating they saw it as a help, not a burden. And of course it makes it apparent to managers what's going on without having to pester anyone. So we consider this a feature that helped both managers and devs do their jobs better without imposing an unwelcome burden on anyone. We're looking to extend this pattern in much more clever ways to get managers the facts they need without burdening developers with housekeeping tasks to provide those facts. It's a tough problem but we're optimistic we can make headway here.

Thanks for raising this point; it's really, really important.
> Bicycle racing has produced a lot of people who think weight matters on bikes. It does in races, but weight isn’t a substantial factor for people who ride at normal speeds.

Weight is still a substantial factor if you ever have to go up or down stairs with your bike.

Trudeau's bank account freeze is the reason why the next time I'll be in the United States, I'll open a US bank account and transfer some savings there. (I'm a European, and not a US person). I've heard that US banks are extremely friendly to non-residents (at least the ones who know to deal with them and hand out a W8-BEN form to fill)

Then my money will be safe. Unless I piss off the United States Federal Government that is. But I don't plan on doing anything that would put me on OFAC list, so I should be fine.

The US is actually a tax haven for non-residents. They have made every country in the world (that matters, anyway) to comply with FATCA and OECD CRS, yet they themselves don't do OECD CRS.

Ask HN: With a disruptive product, what sorta harassment to expect from bigtech?
hi there, an aspiring founder here. I am a few months away from releasing a product that could possibly disrupt the market of tech giants who have been at it for decades (the alpha testing results seem promising). If indeed I am successful, I was wondering what kind of harassment to expect. I imagine they would start off by trying to buy me out at a very very small price, and I expect I would refuse it, which might not sit well with them etc. I have no idea how corporate power play works. I think this might be an interesting discussion.
My experience was that riding on a halfway decent road bike made of aluminum was radically more enjoyable than on a Dutch-style city bike. The increase in effective speed made a huge difference even for basic commuting tasks. When we switched my son over from a crappy, heavy kids' bike, to a nice, light, aluminum one from Frog, we saw a similar change with him.

So weight and speed probably do matter, even for regular people.
A truly cashless society is impossible to create. Nature abhors a vacuum. Capital is for capitalists. Others will use other, old, familiar means of exchange; the media will be visible or not. Attempts to keep good neighbors from good-will sharing of their time and energy will fail. Noone can pile up enormous stores of caring to stand on and crow.
That’s a pretty biased interpretation.
> claimed that people would change their ways when they were suddenly the focus of their payments being banned.

As stated in the original article posted to HN, the potential for change is not with those few who break the law, it's with the much larger group who believe in due process and social contracts. When trust is lost in a system, it affects many more people than the few humans who unexpectedly set a precedent in policy and become an exhibit in history books.

> Are you contending that human beings are generally very good at inconveniencing themselves and changing behaviour

When trust is lost in a system, it creates an opening for other systems, with different properties.

People don't choose inconvenience, but the failure of one system can motivate action beyond stable equilibria. People can then consider alternatives which may offer more convenience in some dimensions, less convenience (but other benefits) in other dimensions, and new properties which are not comparable between the two systems.

Most importantly, the loss of trust in one system creates an economic opportunity for competing systems, including investments that can change the calculus of convenience.
Thanks, saved both of those.
Where in EU would you relocate?
Wife is talking with a FAANG that has presence in pretty much all large EU countries plus UK and Switzerland.

Where she relocates to is pretty much open but we most often gravitate towards Germany, UK and Switzerland. We are pretty mixed up though due to mixed signals from all of them (UK: Brexit, Germany: difficult language, Switzerland: cost of living).

One thing we know is that we don't want to go to Ireland or something close to it. Great job market but high cost of living and public services not close to taxation (we were not happy especially with health and education). We have a small pre-school kid. So, if we learned anything from there is that we're willing to exchange a higher taxation rate with good public services.

Anyway. I'm curious. Which country in EU would you consider under similar circumstances.

Thanks
If the only benefit of cash is dealing with cavemerchants, that's covered by keeping some money around for such cases. It's not something you'd normally do so the thought is perfectly congruent.

The only real advantage to cash is avoiding government overreach. It is most definitely not convenient in any way

What's a bigot? What's a law?

What's happening is the average person's quality of legal life is falling. Most people are not terrorists, they are spied on as such. Most people are not abusive partners, they are taught wild sex ed. Most people are not racists, the nanny state is handling us as such.

Your mistake was falling for the virtue signalling and forgetting it's about state control. And yes, Scotland wants to put people in jail for saying words out loud (trumped up charges) purely out of hearsay (stalinism).
you can also run static k8s pods with docker by just running the k8s kubelet which will watch /etc/kubernetes/manifests
So cash not only grants people freedom and anonymity, it also creates local jobs instead of moving money as arbitrary transaction fees into the pockets of a credit card duopoly? Sounds terrible.
There is also other storage like memory cards for cars or portable players.

The 9310 is an 11th generation Intel CPU, that I've had for over a year now. While it certainly was even more broken when I first got it, after the first quarter improvements seem to have stopped happening. Things like WiFi, Bluetooth, sleep, power management, and video output are still fairly flaky.

People elsewhere in this thread complain about the battery in sleep for the Framework, and I confirm the same with mine, but losing a few percent a night is nothing compare to the Dell, which goes from 100 to 0 overnight.
Besides the other good points people have made, I would just like to add that this is the kind of mentality that I really dislike to see. Just because resources are cheap, do we really need to waste it all? Computers and smartphones are faster than ever, yet there are always websites that I find completely unusable on my phone. And some of these websites I actually need to use because they are required by the government... Looking at you, MitID!

I'm inclined to call this The Javascript Mentality, though I don't mean to insult JS users. JS definitely has its place, it's just very much abused, unfortunately.

This sort of strategy feels to me* like it would be ideal in a gamedev sort of environment - considering the nontrivial practical distance between each of the layers in this scenario, I can totally see each layer occasionally showing up out of alignment, or rendered in the wrong font, etc. My (very abstract and non-practical) impression is that the rendering pipeline in a game is typically much tighter/cohesive than an entire desktop shell.

* I could be wrong; I'm just spouting naive hot air with no practical experience at either end of this spectrum :)
What are some alternatives to NGINX? Is there a maintained fork with a better config?

I know of Apache, but that seems to be falling out of favour lately.
Seconded. You can go further and/or faster with a lighter bike, making it more practical and enjoyable. You get to see more and going fast is fun!
False and here's why:

There are rights which are fundamental. Saying "definition", as if it is a flexible description does not satisfy the reality. These rights are defined by the fact that they are inherent.

Your example is a perfectly described granted right. You have been granted the right to something which is not yours and you have no other right to take.

The distinction is important. There is no moral hazard nor wrong committed in preventing someone from harvesting organs without permission. There is a wrong perpetrated when someone has been restricted in their speech or movement.

The usefulness, as you say, lies in the treatment of these things as distinctly different in nature
I'd have no problem with the opposite political party using the same powers under similar circumstances.

Fair enough?
Yes, there's a huge incentive to launch a false flag operation in order to give a justification for dismissing (or attacking) a wider group, but unfortunately the strategy works even if there is no false flag.

Has there ever been a protest movement that was big enough to gain attention but didn't have some small minority in it that went too far? Sadly nowadays there are probably people who just want to watch the world burn and will turn out to commit crimes under the cover of any protest, no matter the politics of the protest itself.

When politics (and the media) are so polarised, it's easy to highlight the worst examples of "the other side" while ignoring any inconvenient examples of one's own side, if necessary by erroneously attributing those examples to false flags.

The right to protest cannot meaningfully exist in a society where the powerful get to write the narratives about who the protesters are and what they are doing.
Well, I'm blind and cannot confirm. Sorry.

Even if you are correct though and the mosaic is easy to reproduce, it will be out of context. It will be just a few people who can understand what is represented there and why, and if you are going to throw money and effort at it, you can as easily invest in something original and that might match better the rest of the design in your home/office.
Personally I'd just use Debian as my SBOM if one was required. For anything open source, just make new packages and upload them to Debian. It has probably many of the things needed (including in-progress deterministic reproducible builds), apart from building proprietary software, but you can create Debian packages internally and use your own build servers and apt repository.

Any other distro can be treated similarly really.

I *think* this was part of the shell layer. Which is why it's fascinating how the performance team wanted to prune it out; presumably the fonts were mapped into memory elsewhere and thus deduplic...oh, maybe Windows doesn't have mmap page dedupe.
Every time I look at markdown flavors I come up with this question: Why not latex? Granted, I rarely need markdown or latex so this might be just my ignorance.

I've tried doing my CV and some presentations in markdown cause I just didn't want to put the time to learn latex. I went markdown -> html -> pdf. I just couldn't get something satisfactory. The pains: pagination, centering, columns, image positioning, colors.

And then I took a day to learn enough latex - https://latex-beamer.com/quick-start/ - to create a presentation for work. It was a lot easier than I thought and it came out looking great. Here is the skeleton of it so you can judge how complex it is:

Last week on hacker news we had a headline stating young people are having less sex than ever. And people were right, a lot of youngsters are afraid of all the overblown drama. Is kissing sexual harassment? Sexting? Having sex without written consent?

Non-trivial jerky behavior is completely contextual on a per community basis, and a government could not and should not act on that. Out of scope.

What do you mean here? If you are referring to network interface, why there is a problem to bind to it?
No, it increases costs on business, which reduces the number of jobs available.
I need an SD card on my phone just to happily fit my highly compressed podcasts, so I don't think we're anywhere near the point of skipping compression.

Even somewhere you don't want to use FLAC because you're worried about the complexity, you should at least throw gzip at your files. PCM is a waste in any kind of computer scenario.

> Carbon bike frames are designed only for the loads in “normal riding” but not really for all the random things you might do by accident while owning a bike, like bumping it into walls, over-tightening the seat post, etc

I wish this myth would stop being perpetuated. Yes, aluminum frames typically crack or dent rather than splinter and become immediately hazardous, but if you hit something hard enough to break a carbon frame, you'll have done even more damage to an aluminum one. If you hit the deck that hard, you're best off getting the frame professionally inspected and replaced if necessary.

I think this fear stems from a gut feeling that metal is more ductile and durable than "plastic", but what you're dealing with is far, far stronger than plastic.

I always like to show these videos to illustrate:

Duh, true, of course. I've seen (and laughed at) the same thing, "African-American" being used about immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa in Sweden, people who had never been near America.

But what I (must have) meant to write was, "African-American" is pretty much the mandatory term to use for American Blacks, right? (<-- And should "Blacks" really be capitalised there?)
What would make life simpler is the industry standardising on at least one format. For example Apple doesn't actually support FLAC, despite it being the most popular lossless format.
To me this feels a lot like that anecdote about poor people struggling to become wealthy because they buy cheaper boots that wear out faster. If you change jobs frequently chasing relatively inconsequential salary increases, you're perhaps going to miss more lucrative opportunities.

My first internship at Toyota barely paid anything (relative to a bay area internship), but I stuck around for 4 years because the work was interesting and fun. It helped hone my technical skills, and the value from networking from that job continues to pay off 12 years later.

Since I graduated, I've been at three different companies. I've stuck around to see projects through their hardest points, and only left for exciting new technical opportunities. The first one with the lowest salary has in time been worth the most in equity. The one with the highest salary has in time been worth the least, but the liquidity at that point in my life was nice. I took a huge salary cut when joining my current company, but I had a feeling that it was a good group of people. It's been almost 6 years now, and I can only describe my experience as an embarrassment of riches.

You could write my experience off as luck or individual talent, but I think a part of my success has come from my work ethic. I work to feel useful, solve interesting problems and create tangible value. It seems like if you focus on that, everything else tends to fall into place. A college age friend once joined a project I was on, as a remote contract technician. He asked me for advice on how to become a full time engineer. I told him to figure out how to be as productive as possible by automating his job away, and document it. He ended up being 4x more productive than the other techs getting paid 3x as much, and six months later was a full time employee with a bay area salary and equity.
