> You can't force someone to open up their intellectual property. The company might have wound down but the IP still belongs to someone.

You can't, but governments can. There are laws that protect IP; those laws could be modified to say that, if you decide to stop supporting a product that relies on your IP, then you must provide the means for individual users to support it themselves. That doesn't even have to mean giving up your IP; it could just mean designing from the beginning with the idea that a company won't last forever—but that'll never happen unless it's forced by law.
> Yes when you open a desktop app that has to load the data from the internet it has to load first... You can't get around that fact unless you have zero data remote? Which defeats the purpose of a collaborative B2B app.

This could be true for data being loaded from the Internet, yes, though it assumes the premise that JS based applications will still do this faster. However, collaborative B2B apps existed before the JS craze and worked perfectly well (and faster) without it. They also don't strictly need to be querying data from the broader 'net but can be doing things like talking to a local database server, asynchronously retrieved local cache, etc.

> After that first load, strictly the first time you open the app, you never see another loading screen.

That's actually only half true. The "Loading" screen does indeed not popup. Instead, you just get broken empty UI until it eventually loads the record. What I observed was scrolling to the end and selecting any of the final few records there was a substantial and noticeable second-plus delay loading the record data into the view. Steps are: Load page -> scroll to very end using scrollbar -> pick last record.

For fun, I profiled it. According to the profiler it takes 3.8s for it to successfully load and process the record, of which 2.1s is just in one promise.

It's also a demo site and could easily cheat this (but to their credit appears as though they are not quite doing so at the expense of heavier page loads). It's not a compelling example of what you're talking about.
>I’ve never gotten a virus on my machine

How would you know? Maybe you got a virus that looked around for bitcoin it could steal, didn't find any, and gave you no signs of its existence.
Creating trillions of dollars with the stroke of a pen and then showering that onto the economy.

It's Supply&Demand at work. Create lots of money (add Supply) and the value of it goes down (Inflation).

The same thing happens to the price of refrigerators if 10 million gets dumped on the market. The price for a refrigerator goes down.
This makes no sense. Downloading a web browser takes even longer. It's an insane comparison to draw in the context of the experience of actually using an application.

Nobody cares about startup time when it's a task you do once a day compared to using the application which might be constant throughout the day. How often are people booting up their IDEs?
> I don't think the market always efficiently sorts out every dumb technology fad, but I have a moderate level of confidence that people will stop buying cloud-dependent physical products after being burned enough times by stuff like this. Or, maybe they just realize it's not all that useful in the first place.

Individual people probably will, but the market will keep supplying new people who haven't yet been burnt and are willing to fall for the same old scam.
the fact that the payment has been delayed and the judgement has been appealed this long is one of the least interesting parts of the story… imo.

Gentrification is an overblown concern. No one has the right to live in a specific area. Migration is human tendency. Just like poor people have a right to move from a rural area to a city in search of better employment opportunities, people with money have right to move to cheaper locations to get a better bang for their buck.

Likely they referred to creating a routing black hole in BGP networks.

Show HN: A Richly Interactive AGI Alignment Chart
Among researchers of AI and AI safety, there is a wide range of opinions on when AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is going to become available and how dangerous it will be. These seem like important questions to me, and I thought it would be useful to have an interactive chart to find other people who share your opinions on these questions (or have the opposite opinions)

On my site, you can filter the opinions of well known people in the AI and AI alignment fields, as well as add your own twitter account to the site with your own views.
It’s by design.
Can this data be used for prosecution? How do you prove it’s accurate and not modified? If the PII is claimed to be scrubbed then how do you connect it to the felon? Seems you’d want other supporting info to prosecute with and keep silent on this stuff.

as an aside, it's interesting to note that nothing in Schmitt's twitter bio nor his website would let you know he's a Republican. Only the usual "rah rah democrats=bad" stuff in his twitter feed let you know what party he's with.

Because of reasons, I wanted an optical in. So I got a sound blaster card. It worked fine but the software was kinda... bad. For something that was not engaged most of the time it would sometimes take a lot of CPU according to task manager. Not really sure what the issue was, but ended up disabling the card when I wasn't using it.
Transmissions also lose a lot of energy.

Most of my usenet stupidity, and the flame wars which got me chucked off JANET mailgroup for a month (along with another person who now is a reasonably senior policy advisor on UK internet policy) got lost when Google decided usenet history was boring and deleted the archives they'd acquired from the previous hoarders on tape.

If you were "stupid" before 1987, you are probably safe. In the 88-92 window it's a mixed bag and after 95, you may never escape your mistakes.
The default is still “admin” in the sense that it can sudo or equivalent. But quite a lot of the OS itself has been isolated from sudo/etc, and in recent versions isolated to a read-only FS. And quite a lot of the native APIs (eg file system access outside the app’s isolated storage) have been restricted to require asking for explicit permission before they can be used. Some functionality has even been restricted to require direct authentication (notably: password autofill in Safari). The FS access limitations feel most frictionful, but nowhere near so much as earlier Windows forays into this kind of UI; the downside of that is that it’s easy to forget what access you’ve granted.

Most of the rest of macOS defenses depend on almost totally invisible malware mitigations. “Almost totally” as in you don’t even know it’s running unless you happen to spot it in a process monitor.

Apple mostly strikes a good balance in macOS (IMO) between locking as many doors as it can without getting in your way, good default UI tradeoffs, mostly reasonable escape hatches if you really do know what you’re doing, and very inconvenient escape hatches for actions which truly leave your proverbial front door unlocked. (The latter involve rebooting into the recovery volume and entering explicit commands into a CLI.) If you’re a high value target, obviously none of this is sufficient. If you’re a rando user with relatively not-reckless habits, at this point it’s like gambling with odds so close to break-even most users have good reason to think it’s a solved problem.
That sounds like a business model...

"Almost nobody uses either." I am very aware, I noted that in my comment. Are you saying O365 and AIP are inferior than gsuite, if so I would like to hear why, I don't favor either I just haven't seen why. DLP is absolutley a foundational security practice, especially for a startup because they usually have some "secret sauce" and all it takes is one employee leaking that and most people that leak/sell-out just print or take the document with them, a starup maybe drowning in VC money but it all comes down crashing the moment you someone else does it better.

As far as the security hire and pentesters, I don't particulary mind the norm so long as you made that decision and planned on it from the start.

Also on O365, if you're a mac shop I still say it's better but for windows shops (as rare as that is at a startup) you must use AAD and it solves a lot of problems out of the box when you marry it with O365 and you don't have to worry about google banning you on a whim and crashing your business. I am all for best practices but those are different than monkey-see-moneky-do copying without critically reasoning and defining why that decision is best.
I know the tools I need. Enterprise IT doesn't.
I’d be interested in a cable tester that could determine what’s what - probably couldn’t figure out max power however.
Ok, but give me a choice, it's my computer and I should be able to decide what it runs. For example, I might care about my battery life, record low latency video and audio or prefer a different anti-malware product.

Hessenden is a good companion for Lake Maracaibo, in Venezuela, that sees hundreds or thousands of lightning strikes per hour on almost half of nights. Some people fish by their light.

Yes, that's true. My company has made a number of questionable hires since the pandemic, when companies stopped doing in-person interviews. There will always be people who cheat but maybe requiring a few in-person interviews and imposing financial penalties will discourage this sort of behavior.
In the US we use firs and spruce as well but often "pine" means some kind of conifer...

Source code escrow agreements are reasonably common. When a startup receives an investment from BigCo, it comes with the condition that BigCo gets a perpetual license to the source code / IP if the startup fails.

It would be straightforward to mandate such agreements be included with all IoT device purchases.

Ideally, they'd also be triggered by acquisitions or modifications to privacy policies. I can dream, right?
Absolutely not. Engine health is VERY important, even in a fully managed "one lever" engine.

Except I like many people gave up on USB because it’s a mess so I don’t care what standard is on the motherboard whatsoever. I am not buying USB devices require higher standards which means no selling replacement cables etc.

Wireless charging or dedicated cables are just less painful than power over USB. The idea of running video signal over USB is just cringe inducing.
I love this article! Surprised that there's not much discussion ensuing from it. I think the quest for more performant tooling is a worthy thing in itself, as the Python community has had great tooling, but not so much performant tooling, and things like this have spillover effects on other projects.
No. Energy density for batteries is at least an order of magnitude off where it needs to be for manned flight.

I think we are talking past each other actually - I read your question "how did it make you healthier?" as in "how did it act to make you healthier?" and now I think you were saying "how did you determine it made you healthier?". Ambiguity of English strikes again...
If I had to guess they probably use stock OS for most employees and defer to network-level filtering beyond that. Not because their stock OS behavior is wildly secure or anything, but because they’re notoriously secretive and have other reasons to have very tight restrictions on external network access.
Wow! I love the old school time where text books stimulated you to think broadly and deeply. Not just solving some artificial tiny problems and let you think when you can solve them all, you’re on the top of the world.

>Food is also a basic need, but does not get any of the attention because it is a functioning market.

If bread and milk were being hoarded by speculators (not some random luxury like truffles) you'd be hearing exactly the same discussion.

The point is that rich people with vested interests are stacking the deck against newcomers.

>market-based system

The free market does not exist. Property markets around the world are being heavily distorted through favourable tax treatment and speculators.

This is business as usual, except that the advantage almost always flows the other way.

> Overall, the whole article is so surreal - is this actual reality in US?

Within my bubble, I would say yes. Most parents I know seems to not let their kids go unsupervised (by them or some other parent) until around 13-16. I also grew up in this kind of dynamic, but I also didn't ever feel the need/want to be in unsupervised scenarios, so I didn't notice the oddity of it until later in life.

I don't know the underlying cause, but part of it seems to be that people misunderstand and overestimate the the likelyhood of certain bad events happening, while simultaneously ignoring all of the daily risks they take and are completely fine with.

One example I hear within family is the worry about child abductions, and how there are such terrible people out there that would do such things. The misunderstanding that seems to be in play when these things come up is that 90% of child abductions are by a family member, not some random joe/jane on the street. Another non-zero amount are by care-takers, so people that parents trust enough to supervise their children. Finally there is the last few percent that people have some more valid reason to worry about. This seems like an awfully small chance event to spent a lot of time worrying about.
The government still keeps track of the amount of foreign buyers. It has plunged. It's likely that if it was a still a problem people would be doing something more but it's marginal at this point.

The biggest impacts have already happened. We had developers building hyper luxury condos explicitly marketed to an asian audience and overnight with the foreign buyer tax everyone stopped making those and the same developers have pivoted to building purpose built rental for locals.

The taxes worked. There's still a housing crisis.
I wonder how long before some group of manufacturers comes out and say “Ah fuck it, just make a new connector with a new baseline level of performance!”

> I had a lot more respect for Fuller before I learned about his "don't try to change behavior, technology will fix the problem" approach

Perhaps that view is correct, it is just that most of the people who subscribe to this philosophy are trying to solve different problems (e.g. to accrue wealth and power) while most of the people who abhor that attitude have effectively abdicated control over some of the most powerful tools to instigate change.

The reality is that you cannot change the behaviour of other people. All that you can do is add stimuli to encourage positive behaviours and remove stimuli that encourages negative behaviours. Technology is simply one of the tools in the toolbox.
Improved signaling has taken cat 5e cables way past 1GB/s. It’s nice.

DLP is not a foundational security practice. It's a product category and little else. I've spent a good chunk of time in my career working on DLP[1], mostly at large enterprises (the only place this gets seriously deployed), and I've never seen it do anything useful. I can count on zero fingers the number of startups that buy and operate these tools.

In the entire history of startups, no startup has ever outcompeted another based on DLP.

Startups overwhelmingly use Google. I'm not interested in arguing with you about how startups should use Windows, or Active Directory; it's just not relevant. The question was asked "what's the checklist for startups", not "what's the checklist for AON".

why does this article spend so long talking about how memory safe languages don't solve a problem that... they never claim to solve? yes, you can still write vulnerable code in any language. i can't imagine a way to design a programming language that prevents you from writing a remote shell
regardless, even with all the funding and competent programmers in the world, people still write memory bugs. i don't think it's necessary to rewrite everything in rust or whatever, but it's probably a good idea to rethink writing new things in c if you can help it

I’m going to answer as if you’re arguing in good faith.

In the theology of Antonio Rosmini, God places within humans the principle of universal being, by which we participate in the light of reason, which enobles us with the ability to think about concepts that are beyond our quite limited selves.

Of course, there is also something mysteriously wrong with human beings, such that
our own efforts always betray the infinity of which intuitively conceive. This ought to give us pause as we try to create machines with human-like or super-human-like qualities.
