When the internet came through a modem and bandwidth was very expensive, performance was concern #1. So pages were kilobytes, not multi-megabyte monstruosities.
Haha lovely analogy. Will make sure to remember it.

It's not chronologically sorted. I've heard this argument many times though, and it has failed again and again. The only time technology has seamlessly replaced a predecessor on Linux is when it reaches feature parity with whatever it usurps. I have no problem with PipeWire replacing Jack/Pulse. Both of those frankly suck, and PipeWire provides their functionality as well as it's own featureset that puts it heads-and-shoulders above the alternative.

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. They made that choice when they dropped support for hardware that x11 handles without issue. My point is that people have used outdated technology for more petty reasons than just "it doesn't work on my hardware" before.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. Nothing is inevitable on the Linux desktop though, I'd hope most people on HN of all places would know that by now.
> I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone cites Facebook here. Nobody is forcing you to download the Facebook app. It's perfectly usable inside a web browser, nevermind the fact that a sideloaded version of Facebook could still leverage the same security benefits provided by iOS' sandboxing model.

I'll see if I can help.

1. A lot of people feel forced to use the Facebook ecosystem - there are groups and markets that are only accessible to Facebook users, let alone the ability to stay up to date with family and friends. Facebook/Meta also provide internet services in some countries, making them utterly unavoidable

2. Facebook has caught in several privacy abuses in the past, including one that used enterprise certificates to side-load a non-reviewed app which set Facebook as a VPN to monitor internet traffic and app usage.

3. There is no guarantee that Facebook will continue to allow full accessibility via a browser if they have sufficient benefits to installing a native app. See Reddit heavily pushing for their native app over the browser on mobile, or Google blocking whole services (or essential features for some services, such as the ability to edit Google Docs) to "encourage" people into native apps.

4. There are many security and privacy features of the App Store that come not from technical measures but from Apple acting as a quasi regulatory enforcer. For instance, application developers must ask for consent for tracking, and the setting chooses whether an advertising identifier is released. But the App Store contract limits _all_ cross-party tracking methods without this consent, including things like sharing device fingerprinting and IP addresses with third parties. These protections only exist for iOS users because of Apple's ability to block publication.
I was adding context to OP's statement that "No serious climate scientist thinks we are going to fall off a cliff". If 60% of the most influential climate scientists expect the world to warm >= 3°C, and one believes (like I do) that >=3°C of warming constitutes a "cliff", then OP's statement is incorrect.
Any web application worth their salt has shareable URL, so I am not getting your point.
> It's rather the opposite. They control the supply by creating artificial scarcity

The scarcity is real. Scalpers sell the time and effort required to obtain scarce items.

>Now put in there a scalper, that is, a middleman who buys almost all Decks at the price (or rather at a discount), then keeps them in storage for a while.

This isn't happening. The value of the Steam Deck to a scalper goes down every time one is manufactured. They have to flip them as soon as possible to profit unless they somehow plan on buying all of the steam decks in perpetuity.

This isn't like concert tickets where there's a finite supply. Scalpers can't buy a significant amount of Decks because valve is just going to keep making them and selling them for less than the scalpers.

> the middleman added some value

Scalpers do add value. Think of it like paying someone to stand in line for you but not in advance.
Single, male, mid 30s, looking for the same.

I've met many women like you who seem great on paper, but ultimately pass. Because qualifications don't matter as much as how someone makes me feel. If I could crack my own code I would optimize my search. But I seriously cannot..

Surely in the past decade of your life a man has been super interested but you felt 6/10 about them. Maybe commit and work on turning 6/10 feelings into an 8/10 and call yourself lucky.
I think a common utilitarian way of thinking is years of life left. A baby has a far greater expected value of remaining years and thus is often assigned higher moral value by people. For me it was a no-brainer to kill the old people, although I was imagining them as very old such that they each only had ~5 years left on average.
Similarly you are assuming that they are is an evil intend behind these issues without information. We truly can't know why (unless someone in Microsoft runs an investigation) but we can think of potential reasons.
This feels like a great introduction to the “Lizardman’s constant” (https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/12/noisy-poll-results-and...)

> Lizardman’s Constant is an idea proposed by Scott Alexander that each poll always has about 4% weird answers. In one poll, 4% of Americans said that reptilian people do control our world and, in another 4% answered ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Have you ever been decapitated?’
I thought the point was that you have to think a little bit more about the real consequences from the loss of public transit etc.
I have a slightly different philosophy.

I don't make a conscious choice to take action that will cause a stranger's death (even if more people die because I didn't take action) with exceptions for my monkeysphere. In the case of the worst enemy one, I didn't hesitate to run them over. In the case of self preservation, I chose to save myself. In the case of my best friend, other people are gonna die. Etc.

It makes a lot of these pretty easy and a few (like first cousin vs 3rd cousins) a matter of happenstance, just like the happenstance that I was looking at these absurd trolley problems.
> For some reason more people picked the latter. So, they just dislike public transit?

I mean, it seems like it's the same trolley that have run over a lot of people for the previous 19 levels, why wouldn't I want to decommission such bloodthirsty trolley?
> Supporting abortion rights doesn't mean killing babies.

There is something very revealing about the GP's attitude though. They literally interpret someone wanting to avoid killing a baby as being the exact same thing as opposing abortion. So in their worldview abortion really is all about killing babies.
At first it seems like she’s equivocating, but further down in the article she distinguishes the types of anxiety:

“Anxiety and anxiety disorders are not the same thing. Until we make that distinction, I can see why you might feel that I’m going too far in these ideas.”

They then go on to expand on this.
There's a great documentary called Three Identical Strangers. It follows three sets of identical twins who were separated at birth, and later reunited in adulthood. Watching it gives you a real sense that nature is practically the only thing that defines us. Worth a watch for anyone who found this article interesting.

To really be sure, I think you need to test for the switched case as well. ie. would you do nothing and kill a human or switch and kill sentient robot.

Hiya. As mentioned in my other comment, I decided to write up a blog post about all the different potential metrics you can use to estimate package market share, flaws with those metrics, and how I use them to guesstimate React state management lib market share (Redux et al):

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/07/npm-package-market...

The biggest takeaway here is that based on these numbers, I'm actually going to have to revise my "45-50%" estimate that I've been throwing around for the last couple years down to about "33%". React downloads have continued to go through the roof, and they've finally separated more of a gap from React-Redux downloads. There's also a surprisingly large differential in terms of Github "dependent repo" numbers.

That said, Redux is most definitely still the most widely used state management lib by a mile.

My main guesses for the changes are that more folks _are_ just using React state and no separate state library, and possibly some influence from number of learner repos.
HTTPS only protects the payload. The IP addresses of src/dst are still unencrypted. And DNS is also unencrypted (though if "dns over https" catches on, that might change in the future).
This is pretty cool! It's been ages since I have played, but actually did pretty well, some of this stuff is just burned into my brain
In that case, it is not really linked to abortion: the baby is already born. A convincing (to me) argument that I heard during COVID debates is that by saving a baby you save, on average, 80 years of potential future life; for elderly people, 5 x 10/15 years.
My thoughts exactly, the details of what this bug is about technically are interesting and fascinating but the key take away is that something went terribly wrong with Ubuntu's testing processes. This should not have shipped without more scrutiny. Somebody presumably cut some corners there and it's worrying that that is possible at all.

I actually rolled out Ubuntu 22.04 to a few servers a few weeks ago. Pretty uneventful update, all my Ansible scripts for 20.04 worked without modification against these new servers. So, I guess I dodge this bug for now. One reason I've always preferred Ubuntu over Red Hat for servers is that with Red Hat/Centos essentially everything I care about is perpetually and hopelessly out of date and obsolete. So, it just creates a lot of hassle to work around that and get reasonably current versions of things I actually need my servers to run. With Ubuntu that was always a lot more straightforward.

I currently write this on a laptop with Manjaro and Linux 5.18. I'm glad I don't have to deal with about a year of long fixed issues with hardware, bluetooth, GPUs, performance, etc. IMHO there's very little value in sticking with older kernels on desktop machines. Especially when that involves a convoluted process of back-porting and integrating lots of complicated patches. I recently put Ubuntu on an old imac (secure boot prevents booting Manjaro) and I promptly ran into hardware issues that I recall having with Manjaro a few months ago that were fixed by simply upgrading the kernel. Bluetooth especially seems way more flaky. And that's not exactly flawless on 5.18 either. I get the if it ain't broke don't fix it thing; my point is that with modern Desktop Linux things being broken is a constant. The least broken version of Linux is usually the kernel that was just released that has all the cumulative fixes for all the issues addressed in previous kernel releases. Opting out of a few years of those fixes seems misguided.

Even on servers, I suspect simply updating the kernel more regularly would not be the end of the world for most users. With an incubation period to catch bugs/blocking issues of course, the more people use a kernel version, the more stable it gets. I doubt many users would experience any regressions. And it's a lot cheaper to support. If I had the option, I don't think I would opt to run 2-3 year old kernels on any of my servers if I had a different choice. I don't see the value of opting out of 2-3 years worth of known & fixed stability, performance, and other issues.

Https encrypts the content not the destination. Your isp still needs to send your request to the server. Further there are also DNS requests.
AFAIK The ISP still obtains and stores full urls, time stamps and log all http requests even if content is encrypted

In the uk they are legally required to store it for 12 months as well
The thing is that when you pull the level, you're interfering so you're the cause of the consequence after pulling the lever. If you don't pull the lever, you're not responsible for what happens, at least in my opinion. That's why in the basic case of a trolley heading towards 5 people or 1 person, I wouldn't pull the level no matter what because at least the deaths of the 5 people aren't my fault, but the death of the 1 person would be my fault.

If it were truly the one single opportunity I will ever have to choose to stop existing, it's a tougher choice for sure.

But on the other hand, I might be so curious about what in the heck happened in the world outside - the world that led to this universe where it will be impossible for me to die for eternity, and somehow I know this with absolute 100% certainty - that I still opt out.
Curious if that would end the game (though not enough to try again)
"aside from nefarious purposes"

It's not that nefarious to go around region blocks to get access to content that probably shouldn't have been blocked from you in the first place. If I'm traveling, I'm still the same person they let watch the same program at home. Or, if I want to watch Russian State controlled news, why does my government get to block it?
I watch a lot of movies but never superhero movies. Super hero actors haven't crossover to mainstream. A guy like the rock crossed from wrestling to many genres of film and tv, I can't think of someone who came from the superhero world and was as successful in other genres.

Also, it was put in The Blockchain, so we're good.
I too was surprised. My gut reaction is this is "my guy" syndrome where people are still reasoning in the third person even though the problem says "you" - if you were to mad-scientist this experiment I bet you'd have a near 100% self-preservation response.

On the other hand, some of the responses have a small contingent disagreeing, and to explain those I would remind you of the Lizardman Constant [1]. That is, some pollsters just want to watch the statistics burn.

I have made plenty of long distance drives through some of the flattest and most desolate parts of this country and I have never seen cars going anywhere close to 100mph on average. Mostly 80's to 90's. One huge reason for that is fuel efficiency, which is dogshit even at 90mph. The other is that most cars really don't handle great past 90. And another is that you're far more likely to end up a fine bloody mist if you do happen to collide at that speed. Not likely, sure, but those speeds also come with vastly reduced reaction times.

Q and A: The difference between hard and soft links
I agree that the mechanism of implementing memory protection by capabilities was inherited by BiiN from iAPX432, but as you have said, after Intel has renamed BiiN to 80960 and they have changed its intended market from general-purpose CPUs to 32-bit microcontrollers, competing there with the older 16-bit MCUs or with 32-bit MCUs like AMD 29000, such high-level features have been dropped.

Nowadays there are attempts to resurrect the use of the memory tagging method for memory protection, e.g. the Cambridge CHERI research project, which has been implemented by ARM in their Morello demonstrator board.

Like the original BiiN/80960, CHERI uses an 1-bit memory tag for each 128 memory bits, to differentiate raw memory from capabilities.
The idea is appealing, I think, because it feels like a step toward what is surely the ultimate goal: flawless natural language generation from some semantic encoding. If you squint, these functions and arguments are the semantic encoding, and their implementations are doing their best to imitate the NLG for an extremely limited domain.

Of course, the problem is that implementations like this are actually stepping away from the very good NLG system we already have: human translators, who typically aren't coders. And the need for NLG hasn't gone away -- someone still has to hardcode these (parameterized) strings.

You can't really boil down trolley problems into "Would you kill x or y?".

Generally someone is already in the way of the trolley, so the question is more like "Would you kill x in order to save y?".

So you could ask people this:

Would you kill a baby to save 5 elderly people?

Would you kill 5 elderly people to save a baby?

How people answer these questions does not really have anything to do with abortion.

Given global wage inequality, is it really? I'd expect many of them to be the equivalent of the famed "chinese gold farmers".
It sounds like I struck a nerve. Does it hurt you knowing there are a lot of developers out there that contribute more in a week than you do in several months?
IP can't be geolocated to a street address.

Translating your IP to your street address would require some larger network compromise (probably at the ISP level) or actually getting PII from your ISP.

Won’t MitM just be between you and the VPN?
They can usually still see Domain names. DNS traffic is normally sent in the clear and in the event it’s not the SNI field in TLS (https) is unencrypted. So your ISP can know which domains you visit but not the individual sites on those domains you visit. (i.e they would know you visited google.com but not that you requested the page: google.com/q=your+question) Which depending on the site might not be all that sensitive but I’m sure you can think of a few examples of sites you wouldn’t want anyone to knowing you went to even if they couldn’t see which page.

Hosts/domains, not full URLs. The path part of a URL is encrypted and ISPs can't know it without acting as a MITM, and unless they have also installed malware/trusted certificates on your computer, there's very low likelihood they are doing that.
While I agree with your sentiment, how do you think that might work out if phone manufacturers were required to have an app ID blocklist?

As an example (I’m not sure what the current state of things is on Firefox these days as it has been a long time since I’ve used it), Firefox ships with a blocklist of extensions that works even if you get the extension from a third-party source. This was mostly used to prevent users from installing malware, but if governments have problems banning an app they’ll just go this route and require phone manufacturers to do the same.
That's not called freedom --- it's cowardice, the state of being afraid to live. Maybe making you too scared to do anything without government permission is the end game of stuff like this.
