Wow, talk about proving the parent's point.

I just read the top 100 website list and went to some of the top 20, like Yahoo, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, and Live.com (Microsoft).

YouTube, Twitter and Instagram don't work at all. Live.com wouldn't let me log in without JS. Amazon worked until checkout. Yahoo worked until login.

I think you are incorrect with your "nonsense" judgement, as this top-10 sampling is pretty sensible.

EDIT: `ewzimm` makes a good criticism of my analysis: these aren't necessarily the top sites used by Tor. However, how many Tor users (in authoritarian countries or just regular users) don't use it to visit the banned sites on the Top-100 list?

My understanding of US tax laws and options is that this sort of behavior is what you want for early stage startups. You allow early exercise, restricted vesting with the upside of paying no income tax now, only LTCG on vesting (+liquidity event), and potentially QSBS tax exemption if you joined early enough and the startup does well.

Although the Malaysian economy and population were much larger than Singapore's, as the international financial and commercial centre for the Malaysian peninsula and with per capita income more than twice that of Malaysia, we might expect ex ante that Singapore would be in a strong position to determine the arrangements. But contemporary views were more optimistic about the development of the Malaysian economy than that of Singapore in the late 1960s. In addition, Malaysia had already developed a central bank, which placed it in a more powerful position to lead the discussions on monetary reform. Ultimately, Singapore's distrust of the Malaysian administration led to the abandonment of the efforts at continuing the monetary integration of the two territories.
Your post is really reassuring... I have all of these problems with touchscreens and find them almost unusable... yet I thought I was alone, because people seem to love them.
A fine is a cost. It's quite possible that Twitter made more than $150m in doing this.
I can't even fathom how it's possible to use $5B/yr to run Twitter.

So, I co-architected the Opera Mini infrastructure. It peaked at a similar number of users (250-300M monthly active users). Sure, Twitter is much more DB-intensive, but transcoding web pages is pretty CPU intensive too, and typically we transcoded every single web page for them. Opera Mini was their only browser.

Twitter is spending $5B/300M =~ $17/user per year

I believe that from public sources, it's now possible to deduce that we spent less than a 1/100th of that per user/year, almost a decade ago.

Since we didn't have crazy money, we optimized things at every step. Or, well, mostly avoided doing stupid stuff.

Absolutely use and love homebrew on linux. All of the fun rust-based tools that get posted here on hackernews (exa, fd, ripgrep, fzf, etc.) are all there and much more up to date than apt. Heck, I find brew is more up to date than nix in some cases.

Plus free equipment donated by the USA. Plus no media coverage at all covering your atrocities because the media is aligned with those that pulled out, so everyone's going to focus elsewhere (Ukraine as an example).

I lived there for more than a year and a half. The things happening there now are terrible. But you don't know about it, because it's politically incorrect to discuss it right now. It's a massive tragedy.
Sigh. Yep. Don't ever give a company your phone number for 2FA. It's insecure anyways due to SIM swapping. Stick to FIDO (e.g. yubikey) or TOTP (e.g. google authenticator)

> Even organization that take GDPR very seriously and invest a lot on compliance do not generally really know all the places where their legacy systems are storing PII. The law is draconian.

I think this is an extremely poor excuse. You're basically saying they don't understand their systems well enough. It is like a chemical company blaming environmental legislation when they've left barrels of polluting chemicals all over the place and not kept track of them.
Because Americans want large vehicles.

> The guy who had 4G of traffic a day was self-hosting his go-module where he was the only user. Google downloaded his repo 500 times a day, that's some serious traffic for a single person, and no he was not a git hosting service.

Ok so let me answer your previous question more explicitly:

> So the solution is that everyone who does not want that behavior should request that they turn of refresh traffic for their domain?

Yes.

> How long would it take until they would complain about people spamming their issue tracker if everyone who self-hosts a go module would start requesting this?

We have an answer to this. It is, empirically, a very long time, as there seem to be a handful (possibly only 2, certainly less than 5) users impacted negatively enough to report an issue. It does not usually make sense to solve an issue that doesn't exist. Presumably dozens of users reporting the same issue would cause a reprioritization, but if no one is complaining, there's no reason to change priorities.
It's a precedent. This isn't just about Twitter; there are many who do not offer such options.
Can't tell why this was downvoted, it sounds like a legitimate question and on-topic given that this is an alternative to the TBB which GP was recommending to avoid.
To do a proper net-present value calculation, you need more than just revenue & profit. You also want to know growth rate, gross margin, and capital efficiency.

> The fact that a programming language calls home to by Google by default should make it a non-starter for most sane developers.

How is it any different from Rubygems, NPM, PyPi, or any other package repository? In most you can bypass it by using git repos, but almost no one does that. And the GOPROXY does offer real benefits, such as preventing left-pad problems.

As others have said, if you really think this is a huge problem for you then it's easy to disable, which is actually easier than what most other package managers offer, but I don't really see the harm in the first place.
So... all that money printing was not a good idea eh?! Or maybe hiding virus leak was not a good idea either?!

You can generally tell because of physical manifestations like changes to shape, color, etc. This is not a big deal for regular crops. It becomes more of a big deal for crops that have "unnatural" enhancements, or patented genes.
> #3 is super annoying - but also why can't I bulk edit associations?

You can.

Right Click -> Open With -> Other... (Always open with checkbox)

is for setting a particular association for the particular file you right-clicked (maybe you always want this file to open in Sublime, but this other one with the same extension in TextEdit, for some reason, etc).

command-I to open the Get Info pane -> expand Open With block -> use dropdown labelled "Use this application to open all documents like this one" -> click Change All... button

is the bulk edit flow

This is deeply misleading and based on old data.

> A reminder that Tor Browser might be one of the least safe browsers you can run: it's a fork of Firefox, meaning that its maintainers have to coordinate and port patches from the mainline project.

Tor Browser ships updates as soon as new ESR versions come out.

> Firefox is already not one of the most hardened browser engines.

That might've been true in the past, it's hard to argue for it now.

> Meanwhile, the fork you'll be running is specifically designed to hide sensitive traffic, and collapses all those users into a single version for exploits to target.

The overwhelming majority of exit traffic now is using HTTPS and Tor Browser ships with HTTPS Everywhere to avoid SSL Striping attacks (in fact the next version of the Tor Browser will have the HTTPS-Only mode enabled by default, it's already being tested in the alpha release), so how will those evil exit node burn those exploits?

> I'm ambivalent about Tor, but if you're using Tor, don't use the Browser Bundle.

First off, the "Tor Browser Bundle" is a deprecated name. If you're not using the Tor Browser you're making yourself both insecure (it ships with a smaller attack surface, no WebGL for example) and fingerprintable defeating thus the full privacy advantages of the Tor Browser. There is simply no other alternative.

You can read the Tor Browser design documentation (though old) to get a rough sketch of what it's trying--and what it's not trying--to achieve: https://2019.www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

Ryan didn't even look at the timestamps for the posts he was referencing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30069359 Everything else he said was pure speculation and story-telling.

Anecdotally, most people on HN hate the NYT; it should give you pause if even these people did not buy Ryan's story-telling.
I'm actually impressed that Heroku despite so much backlash refused to enable it until they were certain it was secure. Even if it took forever and no doubt probably lost them significant customers.

My armchair guess is whatever method someone used to gain access more than likely took an architectural change to fix.
$10m project. What one would expect, pumped hydro:

> Northfield Mountain is a naturalist's wonderland. But if you look around, you'll see an unnatural site: a 5-billion-gallon battery.

Energy capacity: 5b gallons * 8.35lbs/gallon * kWh/2,655,220ft-lb (pounds raised 1 ft) = 15.6MWh per foot raised or lowered. At $10m, that's a ridiculous amount of capacity.
Spoiler: it's a pumped hydroelectric storage.
I'm sorry to hear this. Did they offer severance pay?
> This may impact the freshness of your domain's data which users receive from our servers, since we need to have some caching on our end to prevent too frequent fetches.

They mention that requests still are served from the cache when refresh is disabled.
The problem described is the problem of their software approach (running a heavy IDE in a VMware Ubuntu VM on a Windows laptop), rather than of the hardware. Unless the cooling setup is terrible on L490, CPU and memory combo should be pretty comparable even to desktop CPUs of today, and only the GPU will suck in comparison.

While I don't use "budget hardware", I am sure L490 is not much slower than the same gen Thinkpad X1 Carbon — though I actually use even previous gen with i5-7200u.

If you are mandated to use Windows, exploring an approach using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) should improve things a bit. Or make sure VMware is passing through (instead of emulating) most of the stuff.

Modern software development is further slowed down by the devops approach where you develop using the "same" (but never really the same) dockerised setup as the deployed production. So you get a 10s unit test runtime for a 15ms unit test.

I am never sure why developers accepted this, but in all the jobs I've been, I only felt as if I was the only one frustrated with this.

If nobody else feels the same frustration you do, don't be surprised: others just take it for granted, but it is NOT a hardware issue.
I know an objectively measured 500x programmer. He is humble about it because he knows somebody >1000x, who wears out 2 keyboards per year (or did then).

The setting was the early '90s. Siemens and Ericsson started a joint project, Ellemtel. Each assigned 500 engineers. It was a classic Death March: deliver in six months from the starting gun, or all is discarded and the parent companies don't get paid.

After the project ended, on time, one totted up who coded what in the delivered product. Fully half was by this individual. Without him, delivery would not have happened.

He assigned work units on two-week intervals. Any assignment not completed on time, he set aside and did by himself over the weekend.

Something else interesting: they took blood samples and measured stress hormone levels. A year later, levels had not returned to previous baseline. But Mr 500x's level did not go up.

To further expand on this. 2FA should not rely on SMS at all. It should be an option but not the default one. An Authenticator app should be the default. I know we assume everyone has a cell phone but that’s not the case.
>Again, the debt to France certainly didn't help. But to me, it feels a little too convenient of an excuse to lay the blame solely at France's feet.

So Anki but 1 ) it's shinier and newer, and 2) you use ML to turn cloze deletion cards into multiple choice cards?

I'm also curious whether the multiple-choice-ifying actually improves recall or not?

I suppose you'd have to ask yourself if you want longevity at any cost or a high quality of life for however many years you get.

Every study looking at strength training has shown it has huge effects for quality of life and health and strength training requires high protein intake.

Amazon famously turned no profit for nearly 15 years. When you run a large business you can do things like reinvest what would have been profit into new projects. This is the whole point of a growth company.

Recognize that, simplistically, Profit = Revenue - Expenses, and that expenses is a dial which can be turned somewhat arbitrarily.

Sure - look i'm not gonna argue about C++ memory safety - i've funded and spent time trying to ensure we are funding figuring out how to get off of C++.

I just assume C++ code is unsafe, because it's really really hard to make it safe.
