>I've heard this argument many times though, and it has failed again and again

I am not speaking of you personally, this is in terms of distros as a whole. It has definitely not failed there, they will drop these packages when they become stale and it becomes too burdensome to support them for little benefit. Like, I don't know any common non-niche distros that are still shipping a 2.6 kernel. You can attempt to fight them but it will probably be futile, few have any reason to maintain that.

>Wayland is not that. People are welcome to defend it all they want, but this futuristic technology won't replace everyone's setup. It's not inevitable.

>Nothing is inevitable on the Linux desktop though, I'd hope most people on HN of all places would know that by now.

Not true, death is inevitable. What is really inevitable is that x11 will fade away. Everything dies eventually. The question is what will replace it when that happens, if not Wayland then something else that probably has worse hardware support. We went through this already with the drama around Mir. Or maybe the Linux desktop will just die because it was always obscure, unpopular and fragmented with a severe lack of developers.

>My point is that people have used outdated technology for more petty reasons than just "it doesn't work on my hardware" before. If Wayland wants to be minimal and petty about their featureset, fine. They'll have a minimal and petty community to go along with it.

I don't see why this point is significant to anything. Using outdated technology for similarly petty reasons is just furthering the same problem and putting yourself in the same petty communities.

In what case would a commercial VPN provider, which will have a payment path associated to you, be better than something like Tor for the sort of user who fears government retribution?

Commercial VPN services are pretty much exclusively for doing things that annoy copyright holders. They're great for that, but for almost any other use case where one might want a VPN they're not the best choice.
Why would that be true in any alternate versions of these contests? I understand the enormous incentive mechanisms involved, and yet I cannot see this being obviously true.

> While the Shanghai government and police department have largely been silent over the leak,

Someone/some team in the police department is probably in serious panic right now. Not only because the data is leaked, but also because the leak has displayed an example of what they are actually recording.

For example, according to the posts that other people has posted online (probably rumor and speculations), the `address_merge_with_mobile_data.json` file is a collection of external data submitted to the police database. In the file, there are data source types such as:

- shga_dwd.base_shangyun_lhrytbxx_df
- shga_dwd.base_wahlw_base_teladsllibrarytab_df
- shga_wa.ods_nb_tab_goods
- shga_wa.ods_nb_app_icpoof_expressdelivery
- shga_wa.ods_nb_app_icpoof_delivery
- shga_wa.ods_nb_app_icpoof_expressdelivery
- shga_wa.ods_nb_app_icpoof_foodorder

That's a lot of data that are not directly related to census, social safety, or law enforcement.

> The claim that you should be always able to go 5-10mph above the limit seems to be a mythos invented in and ingrained in the fabric of the American psyche.

I think you're misinterpreting the parent commenter. They said that, in the U.S., speed limits are almost universally slower than the natural (i.e. prevailing) speed of traffic by 5-10 MPH, and so everyone driving at the prevailing speed of traffic is inevitably exceeding the posted speed limit by a bit.

That is definitely true, at least if you're not in the rightmost lane of traffic sandwiched between semis and box trucks. 75-80 MPH in 70 MPH zones is common, and it's not unusual to see people driving 85+ MPH.

From the article:

"Tesla's treatment of Black employees was previously highlighted in a federal lawsuit filed by former employee Owen Diaz, who was awarded $137 million by a jury. After the jury trial, a federal judge rejected Tesla's claim that it is not liable for the "disturbing" racist abuse Diaz suffered but reduced the award to $15 million."
They can't see what you're doing on HTTPS sites (barring any probably-illegal tinkering like MITM), but they can mostly recognize which sites you visit, your level of traffic to them, and enough schedule-based information to build a pretty good profile of you.

The stat I've seen is that each almond takes about 1 gallon of water to grow. I still haven't found a compelling answer to this question:

Where does that water actually go? An individual almond is tiny, even if it's 100% made out of water, you can't actually fit a whole gallon of water in a single almond. So 99.9% of that water must be going somewhere else, like transpiration or back into the water table. If the vast majority that water is getting cycled through the same area (e.g. transpiration comes back down as rain, water in the soil goes into the water table and gets pumped back up), the 1 gallon cost isn't such a big deal, it's not like the entire gallon of water is being shipped to another country.
Racism isn't just "rude". It's morally reprehensible and damaging across many dimensions for individuals and society at large. Even moreso at work, where such attitudes are irrelevant and have no place in furthering the business objectives.
may be the "finance" portion is leading you astray.

Torrents work fine today, as a peer to peer tech. I think there's value in peer to peer, and the killer app for such a crypto chain is not yet found today. Finance just happens to be the first application of the blockchain tech (and as you can obviously see, it's a failure).

The same reasoning can be made for the internet - initially, the internet was used as a "document" viewer. But after the crash of 2000, and slowly as the tech improved (computers and browsers got faster), the web has grown to become an application platform (much to my dismay of course).

The original inventors of the internet never intended it to be an application platform. I would argue that the block chain tech is going to go thru a similar phase.
What makes you say that better tools don't make better apps? A screwdriver changes removing a screw task from "extremely hard" to "extremely easy". Same way, a web framework makes writing a secure web server substantially easier than starting from scratch.

I wonder what would happen for the bribe problem if the rich man wasn't on the track at all. I feel the unfairness of comparing the relative value of rich life vs poor life compels people to reject the bribe. But if it was simple bribe to kill with the other side being empty, then it becomes a measure of the worth of a life.
It's a logical leap to suggest that indirectly benefitting from something means one is indifferent to that thing. We're all beneficiaries of child labour in the third world; it doesn't mean we're all indifferent to it. Most of us at least disapprove.

Errol Musk claimed to the New York Times that he belonged to the anti-apartheid Progressive Party at the time. Elon Musk said in his biography that he did not want to partake in South Africa's mandatory military service because it would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime.[1]

It has been like this on the desktop since forever and some apps are still not available from app stores like Adobe creative suite and it has worked fine.

It has created new business opportunities for anti-virus companies initially but the need for those diminished over time as OS-level "defender apps" and overall 3rd-party app handling got better.

I don't see any problem here. If Facebook forced users to install spyware and spy on users without their consent FB itself would be fined by regulators. And you can always use the web FB version if you are afraid of using their app or stop using FB completely.
I'd really like my car to automatically limit itself to a bit under the legal limit.

As it is, I find maintaining 40km/hr difficult, so I tend to engage the cruise control. But that's pretty painful. I'd much rather it just did it for me. It already shows the speed limit on the dash display, so it'd be pretty simple to hook that up to the cruise control.

And sure, it'd be good to have an override for when something's screwy (ie. roadwork, or the navigation maps are out of date, or whatever). But 99% of the time this would make my life better.

you are proving my assertion that people like you are not intelligent--you are functionally normal at best.

So to answer you, i will ask you (in Socratic manner): is time absolute? your question falls apart when there's no time. And time is a function of physical mass. Hence, there is a "time" before time. Got it?

That can't possibly work everywhere. Here in my state in Australia we have speed signs for the off-ramps where they are clearly visible from the freeway, so you might be in a 100 km/h zone but see a 60 km/h sign off the side that could easily be mistaken for a speed sign for the freeway (it's actually not that great design, sometimes they have a sign saying 'ramp speed' under it but not always)

> Cars are now much much safer, and yet speed limits outside of cities have not changed to reflect this.

They're largely much bigger now and carry more kinetic energy and they're more of a danger to everyone around them.

And braking technology really hasn't advanced significantly compared to velocity squared.

Human reaction time also hasn't improved one bit and has largely gotten more and more distracted and worse.

With fatal accidents rising, I don't understand how the conclusion is that everything is so much safer than ever and that we need to be raising speed limits. I must not be blessed with good enough counterintuitive thinking skills.
By any reasonable metric, I would say so.

This is surprisingly not true, have you tried ?
When you start from scratch you realize you have a tiny minuscule surface and securing that very small hole is much easier than say... fixing the log4j 20th level transitive dependency of your giant Spring Framework that was secretly able to interpret random input from logs or someth.

Especially if all you wanted was to show a quick html output. It's incredibly common to see giant dynamic web stuff used for tiny static output that could have done without.

I've done both in large volume websites and I find now that using as little "framework" as possible and a limited number of "libraries" works better in terms of cost, bugs, dev attrition, business desire implementation and user speed of render.

Picture a giant mess of node dependencies surrounding a central giant quirky framework like VueJS. 5 years of dev, all devs left. You need to maintain that, is that going to be easy ? Wasn't for me.
Robots might not even die when you run them over just needs some new parts.

You haven't pre-ordered it at all, you just reserved your spot in the queue for refundable $5. And no, we're in 2022; supply chains barely start to recover from post-COVID shortages. It's not unexpected to wait for a year or two for consumer hardware like that - there's often a long time between "product starts shipping" and "production ramps up to significant volume" now, which didn't use to be as noticeable pre-pandemic, as normally you want to ramp up as soon as possible to benefit from economies of scale.

I'm not sure what to make of the monero mention, is it a requirement that you can pay anonymously? or do you have a fund that is able wire money? If you're avoiding the eye of China I suppose it's the former.

I believe there's services to "pin" content to the IPFS network, but I'd be surprised if there aren't torrent seedboxes you can pay for with crypto, but I'm afraid I'm short on specifics. Would the idea be, to keep the files available, there would be a wallet that anyone can pay into to pay for hosting ? It's what I assumed we would get with all these blockchain projects but I haven't really seen it yet, there's filecoin and arweave but I don't know if that they are trustworthy for the long haul what with the market crashing

EDIT: After reading some blogs on FileCoin it seems like they fit the bill, and I think my notion of "anyone can fund the maintainance of this specific dataset" is known as a DataDAO and maybe doesn't exist yet?

The facilities were atrocious looking, grim and raw concrete on the outside, nonetheless it was very easy to fly through TXL and get to the city.

I always preferred going to TXL from ARN, felt like I was getting a flying bus to my destination, very close to the center so it was a matter of disembarking and getting to the center in 30 minutes or less. Flying to Schönefeld had the same atrocious facilities and another hour of a train ride to the city...

OpenSSL is the reference implementation of TLS, so when teams propose new TLS features (like the heartbeat extension), they tend to add them to OpenSSL. At the time of Heartbleed, OpenSSL got nothing resembling the attention it does today, so it wasn't insane to think that some random proof-of-concept code might find its way in.
