As soon as he talked about what he would vote for, and what people should be able to vote for, he was implicitly talking about the greatest good across the population (as measured by voting).

If he had been talking about unilaterally violating lockdowns, then your characterization that he was putting his interests above the life of others becomes fair. But he didn't do that.

As for strategies, he was arguing that he wouldn't want strict borders and strong lockdowns, with full vaccination before opening up. Australia and New Zealand did this. The complex tradeoffs discussion that you remember from the USA was not involved.

In the USA, a weak federal response at the start meant we began behind with endemic COVID. The most we could do was "flatten the curve" - we couldn't stop lots of people getting it. Then with vaccinations we could choose which lives to save. And so the discussions you remember. But that is entirely irrelevant to what he says he wouldn't have wanted.

Related, the fact we talked about lots of stuff didn't mean we were actually thinking very well. For example internal memos about prioritizing "essential workers" was to create some "racial justice" in early vaccinations - they didn't want to only be vaccinating old and mostly white people. And so we prioritized healthy young people blacks and hispanics over people who needed it more. And probably wound up with more dead blacks and hispanics than the "unjust" method. But hey, we got early vaccinations into a politically correct mix of arms!

(In case you didn't guess, I'm not a fan of stupid things done to be politically correct.)

That said, I believe most Democrats would have preferred "doing it right" if that was possible.

Yes, along with a massive superiority complex that led the grandparent to ask “why didn’t those Silly Billies just listen to us?”

The US is not a purely good faith big brother of Europe, as much as Americans would like to think it is.

Saying bumpkins was a jest, but also true. The US has short and uneventful history in comparison to most old world countries. Its horizon ends at the ocean for the most part and for most US leaders, understanding the rest of the world is optional.

Saying “why didn’t you just invest in energy self sufficiency” is completely unhelpful. EU leaders know the value of energy, but realpolitik is a thing.

"Framework" is such a poor differentiator to contrast with modern .NET (owing to the original poor naming decision in the first place--it's not like ".NET" itself is amazing) that it's hard, from a casual reading, to pick up on the fact that "Framework" is even being used a differentiator.

I propose that when people want to differentiate between the modern .NET Core vs the legacy closed source .NET implementation, the latter is referred to as "OG" .NET (in casual and business-casual contexts, at least).
I see. So maybe we should go after the ISPs transmitting the information too?
HN has attracted a lot of the anti-crypto luddites.

Any comment that is minimally positive or even neutral towards any form of crypto-currency is downvoted, and knee jerk reactions like "I hope crypto dies!" are promoted to the top. It's an echo chamber that forces anyone without a strong opinion to pick a side, thus virally creating even more paranoia.

Do you prefer indiscriminate polluting Ponzi schemes or world peace utopia if we could just ban crypto with extreme prejudice?

Sadly, this is the situation for anyone that doesn't want to pick a side. The choice is either bullshit snake oil vendors (mostly found on Twitter), or extreme irrational hate (mostly found on this forum). I have no idea where to have a decent conversation about the pros and cons of the technology itself.
Read the article. Very depressing. Had no idea about this in Canada.
Not sure what the law says here. There are many sites built with SSGs today that can never work without the cf cache. In practice, cf hosts the sites. From a dev perspective it is much easier to understand how cf works if you treat cf as a host also for proxied content not hosted by cf, as recommended by cf btw.
(Questions about the current state of journalism aside...)

There is already standard journalistic practice for avoiding this: get a second, more reliable source. It can often be much easier to get a reliable source to verify information initially provided by a sketchy source than to get that reliable source to provide information in the first place.

If you post unverified information that one person on the internet tells you, your work is indistinguishable from gossip, and should be taken as such.
I agree. Private browsing takes care of this for me. I close the tab, cookies are deleted, and I will randomly confirm this occurs occasionally just to be certain. There's no need to get all OCD or self-righteous about cookies when Javascript is the scourge. I can not respect any that block cookies but do not surf with Javascript disabled. Though html5 has nearly but not quite made Javascript irrelevant, the scourge seems to now be built in to html.

His entire beat is based on untrustworthy sources. What makes him special is that he is hanging out on Russian language carder forums and the like, monitoring the gossip and identifying new threats and patterns of behavior. That is the value that he adds, and it's a reasonably big value.

In this case, he got played, but if he stops trying to work with untrustworthy sources he stops doing his job.
But look at their stock price today, up nearly 10% on the news of layoffs.

I've been saying this a lot but nobody really want to hear it: unprofitable tech companies only make sense when money is cheap and consumer spending is high. Both of these preconditions are changing at the same time.

Wall street is going to continually put pressure on unprofitable companies to rapidly reduce costs, and reward those that do.

You are correct that this huge cut is not enough, but it's enough for wall street to gain more confidence in snap for now.

If you work at an unprofitable (or even rapidly decreasing in profits) tech company, especially one that's IPO'd, expect layoffs.

This is the case for me and I am very seriously expecting massive layoffs coming in October, I have been since May, hoping to dodge the bullet but not optimistic.

And this is not going to be like the pandemic where you can be laid off from a negatively impacted company and quickly get rehired by a positively impacted company because this time there are no positively impacted companies.
Google is in all of those areas as well, they're just minor plays.

Last quarter, ~10% of Google's revenue came from non-advertising Services and ~7% came from Google Cloud. The ~82% that comes from ads is split between Search, YouTube, and the Network.

Amazon by comparison is 83% dependent on Amazon retail. Cloud fills the remaining 17%. They're not any better diversified, by revenue.
I have written a web app that does this so you can share links which have the same state. You can't have that long of URLs actually - especially for some browsers.

Having to base64 encode most/all of it so you can safely use any kind of data makes it even worse.

My use case was very basic and I quickly hit limits that made it so I couldn't "persist" all of the data I wanted.
No I don't think so, but I'm not certain. I think with Go the problem always had more to do with the way the language is designed, making it difficult for the linker to prune dependencies.

A public key can be an identifier. Depending on what other information you share online or if a key is reused on GitHub it can be used to identify other places you visit and other artifacts associated with you. If your goal is anonymity then keeping you public keys secret or not attached to other personal information like a domain name is ideal. Almost all registrars are going to have a way to reveal your true identity.
Yeah make up your facts better.

Publishers give books to journalists with the expectation that the journalists will immediately put an electronic copy of the book in a publicly-available CDN and then spend nearly-unlimited resources promoting the free copy?
More 'Bombayites' say 'Bombay' than do 'Britishers' these days, sort of politically incorrect here. From what I understood I thought it was variously Bombay/Mumbai locally according to political party lines.

Never heard Madras used for the location itself in my lifetime, couldn't have told you it was Chennai. It is used in describing British Indian crappy takeaway/supermarket food though (I don't mean that as a slight on the actual food of Chennai, just some of the stuff we have/invent here in the UK and give random names).
I used to put CA keys, encrypted, in a repo only ops admins have access to. The passphrase was shared manually with each admin, once. If/when an admin left, the plan was to rotate the CAs. All SSH and TLS servers I used this for had the ability to use multiple CAs, so the rotation itself worked.

I think it refers to an inland body of water with no access to the sea, sort of like a salt lake [1]. (I upvoted because it's an interesting question. But it would be better received if phrased plainly versus sarcastically.)

Snap will continue having an existential crisis as long as their platform is dependent on companies like Apple and Google. They are a camera company, and they need to use their expertise to beat Apple at the camera game, which is no easy task.

I do extensive profiling of managed apps and while the JIT does eat a measurable amount of CPU time, it's really not much. And at least on .NET, you can manually ask the runtime to JIT methods, so you can go 'okay, it's startup time, I'm going to spin up a pool of threads and use them to JIT all my code' without blocking execution - for a game I'm working on it takes around 2 seconds to warm ~4000 methods while the other threads are loading textures and compiling shaders. At the end of that the CPU usage isn't a problem and you're mostly dealing with the memory used by your jitcode. I don't know how much of a problem jitcode memory usage actually is in production these days, but I can't imagine it would be that bad unless you're spinning up 64 entirely separate processes to handle work for some reason (in which case I would ask: Why? That's not how managed runtimes are meant to be used.)

I mostly do JIT warming to avoid having 1-5ms pauses on first use of a complex method (which is something that could be addressed via an interpreter + background JIT if warming isn't feasible.)

The slimmed runtime and compact packaging stuff is definitely attractive in terms of faster deploys and lower storage requirements, however, because the cost of needing to deploy 1gb+ worth of stuff to your machines multiple times a day is still a pain. I don't actually know if AOT is an improvement there though, since in some cases the IL that feeds the JIT can be smaller than the AOT output (especially if the AOT compiler is having to pre-generate lots of generic instances that may never get used.) You also have to ship debug information with AOT that the JIT could generate on demand instead.

Yeah, they're kinda OK among utility developers. I used to use O&O Recovery tool which scans deleted files by signatures (headers), even wrote some custom rules. But a few versions later they started walking the Nero way, adding more "looks", changing interface, and filannly - breaking things. (
I've worked for startups, both under an agency and as a contractor, and IMHO the problem isn't how well a startup executes, it's how much runway it has. Or some combination of those things. We can always gain experience and improve our execution, but funding is (sadly) still an open problem.

I adore HN obviously, but am concerned about the idea of mentorship as a prerequisite to success. Truthfully, I was far more clever fresh out of college at 21 than I am in midlife after learning how to supposedly do things better. All I needed was any money at all to work on my own projects (something like $24,000 annually in the year 2000) but nothing like that existed. We didn't even have Kickstarter. So I worked a bunch of dead end jobs making rent and all but wasted the most productive years of my life.

But there have been several changes over the last 20 years that removed the artificial barriers to entry that kept me and makers like me on the outside. The main one being the JOBS Act of 2012:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/jumpstart-our-business-...

Because of that, non-accredited investors can invest up to 10% of their income:

https://www.startengine.com/ (no affiliation)

If I were starting out now, I would largely ignore what other people are doing, and figure out a way to raise 2+ years of income, or at least $100,000 per person, by checking all of the boxes needed for crowdfunding. Then show the campaign to older people who have some disposable income that want to invest outside usurious and rent-seeking systems like stock markets and real estate.

Then I would use something like a referral program to bootstrap:

https://andrewchen.com/how-to-design-a-referral-program/

https://www.coldstart.com

Everything else on the technical side is honestly pretty easy to figure out for programmers. There's just not that much to learn, it's mostly about balancing process with pivoting to make steady forward progress each day. Two-person teams have been more productive than entire companies.

And nobody wants to hear it, but, I feel that up to 90% of "best practices" today are about working around fundamental inadequacies in our tools which still haven't been addressed. For example, all databases needed event streams (like Supabase) so that we could have had reactive programming from the beginning. Jira and countless other similar tools have just not kept up with their errata. The level of expertise needed to set up cloud deployments has passed the point of believability. Native mobile development probably shouldn't be a thing, except for certain performance-critical components. And so on.

The big opportunities today are probably NOT in the typical high-effort approaches common to startups mired in scaling issues. We can look down the road a little and bypass those eventualities, assuming that we can scrape up enough funding to work independently and avoid groupthink.
I came to say something similar. It feels like “OpenAI” was just a trademark grab to prevent others from using it. Of course, all conspiracy theories work well when looking backward in time.
So, the claim is that Cloudflare is acting like the window glass shop that drums up business by running around smashing windows at night? That's quite the claim.

Here's a recent report on a DDoS-for-hire outfit that was criminally charged and convicted, related to downthem.org and ampnode.org

https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/06/ddos-for-hire...

Interestingly, the affidavit in that case does note that Cloudflare provided services for downthem.org and ampnode.org. However, this is a criminal indictment of the guilty party. I suppose the issue is, what kind of 'public reporting of criminal activity' is needed to provoke CF to drop services? In cases like this I also imagine CF cooperates with FBI investigations.

Your 80s experience in Eastern Europe is first hand as an adult or hearsay? I visited the GDR in the 80s as an adult and have some first hand experience which differs from yours.

In the GDR "job security" meant they told you what to work, choice was limited, if you always played by the rules, and if you didn't like that, you'd go to jail.

In the GDR no-one was guaranteed education. Today in Germany everyone can study whatever they want, in the GDR <5% of pupils were allowed to study, based on the status of their parents. Participation in events and workshops in school was based on the status of your parents or your participation in party organisations (FDJ, Young pioneers).

The GDR was on the verge of bancrupcy as were many other Eastern block countries at the end of the 80s, with low productivity but unsustainable high subsidies for food and flats. Poland went into bancrupcy and all other Eastern block countries were near that point (often because they took Western credits in the 70s and early 80s to increase consumer good production but couldn't pay back later)

(Anyone interested in Germany I recommend "Das Ende der SED: Die letzten Tage des Zentralkomitees" with protocols from the meetings of the central comitee).
The tech moat can only be so deep. IMO Netflix has two main issues:

1. Content is expensive to make and they are not the only game in town making quality stuff anymore.

2. Tons of their old back catalog was licenced stuff that the rights-holders have decided to take back & use for their own back catalogs.

Netflix was great when it was the only game in town. But competition is fierce between Disney needing to pay $0 to licence SW, Marvel, Disney stuff and Apple with insanely-deep pockets. Both can take on losses for YEARS before turning a profit on streaming. Let's not forget that Apple didn't even charge for ATV+ in its first 18-months in existence.
Being a utility doesn't make them any less of a de facto arbiter or any better of a company. Utilities can suck too. And, worse, they do it with the political backing of the state.

Yeah, but publishing information as quickly as possible to surf on the first big clicks-wave can cost people their jobs. Because it can result in someone deciding to go with an other company.
