The blockchain is a terrible place to put anything that contains arbitrary human readable text, like URLs in this case.

The append only aspect of blockchains means that if someone posts URLs that contains information that is legally required to be removable in some circumstances, the entire blockchain could become illegal to reproduce in some jurisdictions.

For instance, if someone registers www.emanuel-macrons-personal-phoneno-is-888-8888888.xyz that could be a GDPR violation and thus that URL would need to be removable by EU regulations.

And it's just not GDPR, that's just the most obvious example.

IBM has Eclipse. Not only is it an underhanded offense towards Sun, but IBM has shown that they are not willing to push the software to its best possible state.
Eclipse is nice but JetBrains' products and Visual Studio Code are nicer.

IBM is struggling with cloud computing. Adding SUN, they would have tried to turn it into a SPARK offer and burned much more resources.

Both SUN and IBM couldn't continue as before. How could IBM have used SUN to create something better?

At SUN's scale, there was no way forward for their OS or their chips. They were too late in open sourcing their OS, which could have created the market for their chips. Oracle did what SUN's management should have done years before.

In my opinion, Steve Jobs chose to build consumer products because that brings the scale to produce chips. It's in IBM's name to serve businesses, not consumers. The cultural change to create the foundation for SUN's hardware business is almost impossible to pull off.

I would like to argue that the world is a better place because Oracle is maintaining Java, something that SUN didn't fully achieve.

Instead of browsers and Javascript, we could have a jvm everywhere. We are building the full stack with technologies like react and virtual DOMs anyway. It's too late for that, but it's in Oracle's own interest to make Java shine.
I've no argument beyond that. You're right.
I have never heard Elon talk about himself, unless he is explicitly asked... and even then, he's not comfortable. He's like the opposite of a narcissist, whatever that is... And it's often the self-important nobodies who are obssed with their own identities, pronouns, appearance and what not who call him that, which I find very amusing.
I’m not sure why that would be silly; I can remember things said by people I blocked years ago on the internet, generally the thing that made me block them.

What does that even mean? The study refers to the type of bots I was talking about, the same as I suspect that comment's GP is talking about. If there's an extra special variety of astroturfing bots that don't exist, that's great. It seems obvious to me that this discussion was about bots that do exist.

I think the opposite might have actually happened. If Jonathan Schwartz hadn't pissed Steve off by talking to the press, macOS would have had ZFS and might ave acquired Sun.

That's not my point. My point is that the noisy parts are the parts with cars, and the areas without many cars do not have anything approaching the noise levels of busy roads. I am aware that not all of Paris is quiet and leafy...

>What neighborhoods are there where rich people reside who have no more social or political influence than people living in The Projects?

Compared to this one? Nearly all of them. The neighborhoods in Mountain View are filled with affluent people that have no connection to federal politicians and no influence over the FBI at all.
The US really is crazy. In Ireland I get 25 days PTO (not particularly high) and 10 public holidays. Sick days don't exist here. If you're sick, you take whatever time off that your doctor signs for, and there are no pay deductions up to a pretty crazy number of days (I've never even come close to it, not even the year I had a bunch of recurring chest infections).

Edit: also, health insurance is optional but most people pay for it. It costs me and my wife about €240 per month, but options range from €45pm to €650pm with my provider. But that is used to cover stuff like queue jumping. I can go to a specialist, get a fast MRI etc, and my private hospital costs are paid. If I didn't have insurance I'd still get that for free, but I'd be waiting for weeks or months to see a specialist. Having said that, some specialists are rare. If you need to see someone who specialises in a particular type of condition you might be waiting a few weeks even if you have the best health insurance imaginable. And when it comes to the big urgent stuff, public health can really work. My sis died from cancer a few years back, and after a 9 month battle, I don't think they paid a cent. She had a lot of life threatening symptoms during the last 5 months and every one of them got immediate care. (That's something I didn't know about cancer - you can wake up one morning with a collapsed lung or a blood clots)
I agree that this is a challenge! If you want to use the hosted version, it's impossible to avoid the need for that trust. I'm working on making self-hosting easier for this reason.

Some other services (like Firefox Relay) will use AWS' Simple Email Service for everything. I opted to go for [MailPace](https://mailpace.com/), an independent, privacy-focused provider instead, which is an improvement but still not ideal. I believe that SimpleLogin lets you self-host your email, which is best from a privacy perspective, but I'm slightly concerned about the UX of having to think about email deliverability. Still experimenting with that!
I have to agree because I don't think apple would have successfully turned sunos into a unix-based macos9 successor.

If you look at the earliest versions of OSX it's NeXT with a macos9 skin on top of it. But it's recognizably NeXT.
I don't know how much more material you need for solar panels and wind turbines compared to nuclear reactors (there's a lot of concrete in a nuclear reactor too). But as you build more renewables the amount of fossil fuels you need for manufacturing goes down. It would of course be nice if externalities were better reflected in prices.
I still don't see how this is related to cookies.
I...have walked around the less nice parts of Paris? I'm not sure what your point is. In the less nice parts of Paris, the noisy areas are still mostly the areas with busy roads. It's simply the biggest source of noise pollution in cities and I haven't found anything that comes close. Maybe in specific areas you can find people playing obnoxiously loud music with helicopters buzzing over constantly but that's certainly a very specific and hopefully rare set of circumstances. The same with yelling and crime and so on. If that's the default in your city I'd agree you have vastly greater problems than the sound of cars.

The final version's "the decisions we make and how we execute is in our hands, no-one else's".
That's unfortunate, and definitely sounds like a problem that should be dealt with. For whatever reason the same thing didn't happen in Australian cities which are structurally quite similar to North American cities so it's not inevitable.
You cannot have significantly more people/square meter with everything else remaining equal. Cities are like stars - quantitative change in density causes qualitative change in behavior.

Once you have density high enough you can't live in separate houses. People move to commieblocks or other kinds of multitenant buildings. This shifts everything closer together, makes public transport profitable and having a car becomes optional. These kinds of neighborhoods are quieter than the countryside usually.

Yeah, I just moved back to the US and bought a whole house worth of new stuff on amazon. It is definitely noticeable how much junkier this stuff is than it was in the past. I ended up with a huge amount of returns.
"experts" have been seeing this imminent collapse for 20 years now. It will eventually be true, but that's true for a lot of things if you keep claiming them for long enough.
Bigger than you think. Every right wing "free speech" platform has collapsed in flames partially because it seems like the majority of their people do not have the experience to build and run such a platform. I am reminded of the elementary mistakes made in the design of Parler.
I bought an iPad recently (4 months ago?) and moved all "content" apps to it from my iPhone, and blocked all news sites on my phone.

By the time apple acquired them, their board had long abandoned the idea of being a hardware manufacturer due to collosal financial losses. The next hardware is cool to look at in retrospect but was very expensive and sold poorly. After 1995 or so next was in no financial state to design and ship any new hardware.
That's not true. Significant amounts of lobbying and palm greasing happen in person, explicitly off of cell phones. It's not a coincidence that all of the companies that receive massive amounts of federal government money have headquarters around DC.

I don't mind the morning meeting, they can be useful to catch up with where the team is and who needs help, and who's working on a problem someone else solved last week/month/year.

The problem I have with them in practice is that they are usually (in my experience) turned into a management progress meeting where developers are made to answer for their progress on specific items, rather a round-robin "Here's what I'm doing". At that point collaboration and team communication is out of the window.

This seems like a perfectly reasonable way to end a service. The server died, and the effort to bring it back up seems high.

This is a reminder to pay for services you depend on. Per the Pinboard founder's post:

> I love free software and could not have built my site without it. But free web services are not like free software. If your free software project suddenly gets popular, you gain resources: testers, developers and people willing to pitch in. If your free website takes off, you lose resources. Your time is spent firefighting and your money all goes to the nice people at Linode.

I understand that you're saying that rich people usually have political influence everywhere, but I believe the only rich people that have direct jobs in Washington, DC are the ones living in DC.

Unhinged workaholic thinking he knows best about everything and refusing to listen to reason ruling by tweets. I can see him insulting other heads of state because they disagreed with him, starting wars on a whim ( yeah i know he can't technically declare a war, but he can launch a missile strike or "special military operation"). I can also see him going the Nicholas II route, micromanaging the hell out of everything while being too unknowledgeable about the vast majority of it. Let's hope it doesn't come to it.

So I guess it used OpenSSL to figure out what was wrong with people's certificates. Not sure what it used that relied on internals so heavily it was hard to upgrade, or if the public interface just changed a lot.

Even with that, seems there was multiple issues that "prevented" ("made it harder than justifiable" rather) the author from keeping the project up, not just regarding OpenSSL.
* the delay makes 2FA super frustrating

* a number of the larger services have pools of mailservers; when they retry the send, they retry from a different random host in the pool. Naturally this breaks greylisting completely.

I moved to Amsterdam last year, it's been great for a lot of reasons except one: When we moved, it was during lockdown. We checked out the place and we knew it was in a touristy place but it's not too bad. One thing we didn't realize is the small, unassuming cafe turns into a night club Thursday-Sunday and plays extremely loud music until 4am. When we initially moved, they couldn't because of lockdown. We asked the makelaar if there was any noise we should be aware of, he just mentioned that the area is near tourist heavy spots but didn't mention anything else. Now I have to sleep across the apartment on the couch just to partially escape the noise. I'm so tired. I have to endure 7 more months of this before I can leave to a quieter place, going to do much more investigating for the next move and hopefully find peace.
>Then there was the model 3 production meeting where people quit on the spot, to his face, because they were tired of being shouted at.

Can you elaborate on this? People are quitting/getting fired all the time at Tesla yet they seem to be firing on all cylinders.
Get him on the board to stifle his options and prevent him from negatively impacting the company through 'press release' would have a been their path forward, no doubt.

Sometimes I put on noise canceling headphones when I go out to the street to block traffic noise as it increases my heart rate. I’m also mocked for it.

When I need to sleep near a road with traffic I can only with ear wax. The worst are motorcycles.
You should look up the history. At that time they basically were a software company and not very successful either. Without being bought by Apple its likely they would have died.

Its actually kind of crazy how high NEXT got valued.
I have the same problem. I have recently moved to Switzerland and I am so grateful for the culture here. Noise is not tolerated, as it should be.
yeah if you have a house as opposed to an apartment you probably have a rear door, and even lots of apartments have other ways of getting out than the door depending on lots of factors.
For whatever it is worth this is the one I am betting on.
Has anybody evaluated Rust GUI libraries that use custom rendering with Skia or custom OpenGL renderer (instead of QT or native controls) against each other? Iced looks interesting, but so does Druid [1], Slint (SixtyFPS) [2] and various immediate mode GUI libs.

I want to build a UI that's similar in complexity to a text editor such as VSCode. I am basically looking for Rust equivalent of Revery [3] which has the programming model of React + Electron but compiles natively and draws with Skia without the browser or JS runtime.

I agree that it's a perfectly fine way of ending a free service. No guarantees = can end whenever, author is free to do whatever they feel.

However, I'm not sure the conclusion of "make the platform charge you" is the right conclusion if the goal is to have a service that A) doesn't disappear and B) won't make you have to do more work after setting it up (eg: doesn't change).

Lists of languages that don't even try to do what Rust is doing here suggest you haven't thought very hard about even what the problem is. Of course if you aren't sure what the problem is it may be trivial to convince yourself that you've "solved" it.
