This points to why the EU will likely disintegrate - member countries can't print to monetize country debt. Either EU members split out to regain currency autonomy, or EU officially federalizes member country debt.

While I'm sure that Google is writing Fuchsia in part to move away from the GPL, there are very good technical goals that Fuchsia accomplishes that Linux does not. Because Fuchsia is based around a microkernel, it offers much better security guarantees than Linux ever could. Almost everything from device drivers to the TCP/IP stack is a "normal" process in Fuchsia. If there's a security vulnerability in the TCP/IP stack or in a device driver, even if it's an arbitrary code execution vulnerability, it's much harder for an attacker to move inside the system. If you constrast that with Linux, if you compromise _any_ subsystem or _any_ device driver, you're in. And this is an inherent fault/trade-off when you select a monolithic design like the Linux kernel does.
Ok, I have entered into a wrong shitfest.

First. An ABI had nothing to do with C, it is an OS/hardware calling conventions - how the stack is used and procedure's parameters being passed. That is a machine code level.

Second. Redefinition of hardware types is beyond bullshit. I can't even comment on this.

Third. Yes, Every. Single. Architecture will have its own ABI. This is how linux kernel is organised (as a direct consequence of the above) and it has nothing to do with C. Again, it is a machine code level.

The rest is not worth commenting.

I missed the fact who wrote the article, so I am ok with being flagged in this discussion. This is the new normal.
I'd add to this that there was a time when cocaine in the US was perfectly normal. Popes, Ulysses S Grant, Thomas Edison, and countless others advocated for Vin Mariani [1] which was a wine mixed with cocaine, that served as the inspiration for Coca-Kola (whose name derives from its original key components: cocaine/coca leaf + kola nut).

Thomas Edison remarked that the drink helped him awake longer. Oh indeed, Mr. Edison. The point is that it was so normalized that nobody would have really appreciated the consequences of it, especially when everybody was using it. The same seems to be true now a days with social media. People are hopelessly addicted, most people claim it makes them feel worse - yet they keep using it, and so on.

We're just entering into a new era of the world with the introduction of new addictive and harmful activities with the novel catch that the harm is not immediately obvious, as compared with something like gambling.

The only reasonable response I can see here is that what I'm saying could also have been applied to any new technological toy, such as television or even radio in times past. But again the big difference is harm. Many if not most people might have said they should probably waste less time watching television, yet few would have claimed it was genuinely personally damaging to themselves - yet nonetheless being unable to stop. Let alone the consequences on society that are far more specific and real than the ambiguous concerns that undoubtedly followed previous technologies.

Put more succinctly, there is a difference between television and social media in the same way that there is a difference between caffeine and cocaine. At some point the consequences of an enjoyable recreation outweigh the benefits of that recreation.

Like I said in another comment:

You can find plenty of news stories about it being removed in days before today, if you need a reference.

And knowing how to filter out trackers is not relevant to critiquing the practice of putting trackers in in the first place.
NoSQL is a good solution for the 1% of projects that need it. It sounds like you had great success with it, congrats.

Otherwise, it just ends up being a big flat in-memory table with a badly implemented version of SQL welded on top, written by developers who never bothered to learn SQL or database management in the first place. Then a bunch of fad followers jump on the bandwagon, and before you know it, we have a decade of idiots blathering on about "web scale" technologies.

That's the debacle I'm talking about. Millions of man hours wasted.

You'd have optimisation that happened at the 'connect' phase, which analyzed both binaries, and metadata left by the compiler in each, and optimized the machine code by stripping out unused fields and all the code to generate them.

It could also 'inline' some IPC calls by moving server code to the client.

That is not the position ctvo is making at all. He never said he was in support of malware. He is stating that there should be no legal ramifications. The person who added the malware is definitely a piece of shit but i also agree he should not face legal ramifications. This is his code and he is allowed to do with it whatever he wants. It is the consumer to safe guard against external code. Legal ramifications would cause a legal precedent to be set for open source code and ownership that is a very dangerous path. I understand the anger and frustration, i feel it too. However it is still his code

What we've done before is just add events in our db, or even just aggregate log data to find what we want in a grafana dashboard or whatever. Much more reliable than GA with them being blocked.

Ironically the thing about the Kochs is a little bit reversed. They have their own agenda, to be sure, but the biggest players in the influence game aren't individual billionaires, they're corporations and government bureaucracies.

The media always dumps on the Kochs because, atypically, part of their agenda is anti-graft. Make the government smaller by reducing corrupt spending programs and regulatory capture. Most of the bureaucracies fight each other for resources but they're not trying to turn off the spigot. The one who does becomes a target for attack. So they're the ones you've heard of.
COM already learned that lesson 25 years ago, they have a length field + null terminator for easily giving them directly to C like APIs, and they needed to provide easy interop between VB and C++.

However I wouldn't advise doing that direcly unless you trust the callee.
What's the distinction? I always assumed "blue states" meant a majority of voters in that state voted blue, likewise for red states. Otherwise you might as well say "there's no blue cities, only blue neighbourhoods" and keep getting more granular down to the individual voter.

I grew up playing video games like Doom, Starcraft, and Descent. The games had violent content, but they didn't make me violent.

The games developed and got more habit-forming, and I spent more and more time on them. I played Counter-Strike online for thousands of hours. Most of those hours were not enjoyable. I lost 6 months of my life to EverQuest, an MMORPG. Never again. Many of my classmates in university played World of Warcraft for 3+ hours every day. Some played it instead of studying and failed out of university.

Now, habit-forming features are integrated into all kinds of software, including apps for children. Puzzle games earn more money than traditional gambling apps [0], mostly from ads. An 8-year-old is no match for a team of PhDs. Given the chance, most children would spend every waking minute using an iPad or phone. The more hours children spend playing games and watching videos, the fewer hours they spend reading books, building things, exercising creativity, making music, dancing, riding bikes, playing with friends, spending time with family members, learning how to cook, paying attention to people around them and learning from them. Instead, they're staring at the screen and consuming whatever was picked by the algorithms, which is usually worthless.

Manipulative software has large negative impacts on individuals and society. As a society, we do not yet know the diversity and severity of its effects. Many people do not even realize that software manipulates. The problem will only get worse until one of two things happen:

A) People begin to understand the effects of manipulation by software and develop habits and social mores to reduce harm. This will likely take generations. We can recognize this happening when derogatory terms for app abusers appear, like the terms for drug abusers.

For an analogy, consider the introduction of sugary drinks to indigenous communities in Mexico [1].

B) Society begins to hold companies accountable for manipulation they do via software and hold guardians responsible for exposing children to manipulative software. The proposed California law is the start of this process.

Maybe it will be good to have also regions other than countries, the website claims I will die at 89 years old and that data seems wrong for 3 reasons:

1. 3 out of 4 of my grandparents are still alive and are all over 90 years old

2. Living over 90y is quite common in my area, my neighbour is something like 105y and she still goes to cut wood on her own

3. Life expectancy tends to go up so I'm expected to live longer than my parents and grandparents

The part that is missing is how to render our society interesting to boys and girls. Boys have been going into computers since forever because society didn’t care about them and the computers are the only ones to answer nicely; Girls have been going to mobile phones since they had builtin cameras because society strokes their ego way too much through mobile apps; How do we build a society where boys can speak and girls can do?

My grandmother is now 82 years old, she has lived her entire life on a farm in rural New Zealand. She had not used a computer until she was in her early 70's, and she is now computer literate enough to know to backup her data to an external drive and does so regularly.

It's 2022. You dont need to "have a sysops background" to know or be able to backup your data.
I don't think this is a valid optimisation problem: look at how the zero value is optimised away in most serialisation formats (proto, rencode, etc). It will use very few bits of information.
How do expect to ever manage to do that if server and client aren't even guaranteed to be the same language?

COM is one of the most battle tested IPC in production, with support for in-process shared libraries, and Microsoft never was crazy enough to try such optimizations on the Windows dynamic linker when loading COM libraries.

Obviously the latter will happen - it is in fact already happening, between eurobonds and recovery fund. We just don't make a big song and dance about it - quiet work is how the EU is managing to do the unthinkable of federating this anarchic and unruly continent.

The economic imbalances between EU states are nothing, compared to the ones between US states. Do you see the US "disintegrating" anytime soon?
Why not read from a collection of different sources from around the world? That's what I do with https://sumi.news.

If you want a single source, I would choose a publication that isn't driven by advertising revenue, like Financial Times.
The idea that "homelessness" is about a lack of homes is a dumb idea that just won't die. Those who promote it endlessly simply will not go out in the world and use their own senses to determine for themselves that it isn't true. Here's how you do it: go out and talk to the "homeless" and keep notes as to whether homelessness is probably that person's primary problem. The results: upwards of 90% of those surveyed will have some other main problem, and it will almost certainly be addiction, mental illness, or both.

All of a sudden, it stops being a mystery why "homelessness" is a perennial problem: because we're misusing the term "homeless" for two of the most intractable problems in the human world. Calling those people "the homeless" is like calling cancer patients "the hairless".

When I lived in a different place, I went on long walks. I started buying little care packages to give to those who were suffering out on the street. I gave an older woman a package and she was grateful and we had a nice exchange. The next time I tried, she almost attacked me. Think her primary problem is lack of a home? Lack of a home is just one symptom of her real problems.

Please tell me about data breaches
Hello -

I’m a reporter for a news station in Washington state, working on a story about data breaches. I am hoping to connect with anyone who has something to say on this topic!

I’ve read many insightful threads/comments and it’s clear there are many experts on this website. My reporting is focused mainly on WA’s data breach law, and breaches impacting Washingtonians… but breaches seemingly don’t observe borders, so this doesn’t limit the scope of sources I’m looking for.

Some specific things I’d love to talk about:
// Any info which hasn’t been widely reported a data breach, particularly on late notifications or cover ups by data controllers
// Any personal anecdotes/stories/etc. about a data breach
// The relationship between legal data broking and the illicit data market
// The role of offensive cybersecurity (and more broadly the surveillance/intelligence apparatus) in making private info vulnerable
// Data breach notification laws – specifically WA state’s and others which are similar. Do they meaningfully protect people? Do companies etc. follow this law – particularly notification timeline requirements?
// Any proactive measures/laws/etc. which might better protect people from privacy violations and data breaches
// Holes in the mainstream narrative about data breaches (e.g. the perpetrators are located in whichever country the US considers the enemy)
// Common misconceptions to avoid in reporting on this topic, reading or source recommendations, philosophical insight, etc. etc. etc. (aka anything you find interesting and are willing to share with me)

Feel free to email me at gkt two six (at) cornell (dot) edu.
(remove spaces and replace two six with 26).
From there I can share my protonmail/signal/phone number. Or you can leave a comment here if preferred. If you’d prefer to speak “off the record” – either initially or always – that is cool with me and will be 100% honored.

Thank you so much, and I hope you all are having a great day!

Happened to a friend of a friend who bought his vested and super-cheap options when leaving the company, while it was still private. This was in Canada, but the IRS wanted capital gain tax to be paid right away. And the cap gain was in millions, because of the current company valuation. I think he lawyered up and somehow found a way to defer the payment until the company went public. So it wasn't devastating per se, but still very unpleasant. From being an almost millionaire to a real chance of being bankrupt in a matter of days.

Ask HN: How to let SaaS customers pay for new features?
We have a successful, growing, niche b2b saas product. A few of our larger customers have expressed interest in paying for missing features. These are in general good ideas that we'd like to build anyway in time, but the relatively small size of our dev team and the complexity of the product means it will take longer than they'd like.

In the early days of the product, we did a lot of billing for specific features and it led to a lot of stress, ux incoherence, and a total shift of focus from our product to project management, which I personally am not very good at.

Are there alternatives means of partnering with customers that would give us the resources to develop faster without loosing our focus on the overall product and committment to quality over deadlines?

I run a side business[1] that is lucky to not be dependent on search ads. We started using GA 10-ish years ago because it was free and took almost no effort to set up. But over the years it just got more and more complicated to use, to the point where it got hard to act on the results.

Last year, I switched to Plausible[2] for data protection reasons. The unexpected side effect was that I suddenly understand every single metric in my analytics tool. As a result, I use it a lot more for actual decision-making.
