The problem is that the anecdote, as originally told, was told poorly. This:

> They took that momentum and started on their own novel IP as a quake licensee. They made a ahem mildly successful game named Medal of Honor

... makes it sound as if the studio started the franchise—which is not helped by the fact that it says "Medal of Honor" (which is apparently a thing), not "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault" (which is apparently the thing they actually meant). Anyone interested who tries to follow up based on these breadcrumbs is going to run into an issue. That is anyone—it doesn't take someone with a predisposition to being an asshole to end up here; even someone who read the initial comment and though, "wow, that's cool; I'm interested in learning more", and then proceeded to try to learn more would have gotten tripped up this way. (It's only by starting at the opposite end—with Call of Duty—and working backwards to its origin story that you're going to be able to resolve this.)

To make out as if someone is being automatically uncharitable and then airing emotion-driven grievances about it is, perversely, the most uncharitable thing (and, for the reasons just mentioned, perhaps only uncharitable thing) to have actually happened here.

There is an interesting catalog for an art exhibit whose theme turns on technologies, camera, telescope, microscope, as having altered the imaginative consciousness of humanity.

As I recall, the curators argue these technologies diminished our capacity for awe in the numinal when they depict the cosmos as it really exists.

Cosmos: From Romanticism to the Avant-garde. Jean Clair, ‎Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, ‎Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona · 1999

I’ve also heard the counter theory from a film professor of mine in college, Charles Chess. He argued film has the power to manifest strong emotional reactions which our mind/consciousness suppresses.

Offered as proof of his belief, he related the story of a film class field trip to a slaughter house, followed by the class screening the film “Blood of the Beasts”
(Original title: Le sang des bêtes. 1949. 22 minutes). Only the film caused students to feel sick, or so he says.
I don't think privacy, in the sense of a right not to be observed, is a right at all. its like saying you have the right for people not to look at you or remember you, it may sound like a great idea but its fundamentally unworkable.
Ya its a bloody nightmare made worse by Google's wall of impenetrability.
I like that idea. While everyone here seems to comment and mention old competing formats, I imagine a new floppy disc-like device with an SSD inside, kinda like an HDD cartridge. Area-wise a 3,5" could easily house TBs worth of storage, and the "metal clip" of the floppy could house some kind of m2 interface when opened...

> Speculating that this did seriously play out and you "fuck with the regulators, they punish you", is that really the accepted cultural take in Europe?

Yes? Regulators are there to stop companies abusing their powers.

> A regulator may try asserting more power than they possess and the courts offer a system to at least challenge it and have these excesses checked.

Legally challenging a regulator within the system is not "fucking with the regulators". We're already talking about an appeal, and there may be another level of appeals to this. It's not a regulator running wild.

> I suppose the point of my comical take was the idea of challenging an unjust ruling by entities with a noted history of hostility toward US tech firms. Trump went aggressive on the EU and threatened to sanction the fuck out of the union if they hit the tech firms or Boeing with fines.

It feels weird that you think an appropriate response to a company fined for breaking the rules and being anti-competitive is political threats and sanctions.

I have always had that take with Factorio and thought it was sublime like the rest of the game. It resonates with modern life for me, the factory must always grow (growth mindset) at the expense of everything else, all this wonderful automation building better technology while ruining the natural environment, remaking it into something else.

I love the game and I usually like to play by minimizing my pollution cloud (rushing solar and nuclear) and trying to avoid the natives as much as possible trying to be "good" but still survive, but in the end you still must make a factory and eventually piss off and kill natives, ultimately its you or them, I know I am the monster not them.

Show HN: Snapdir. Directory Snapshot Sharing and Auditing
Hello HN!,

After having it lingering in a private repo for a while, I decided to open source Snapdir, a reasonably documented and tested set of bash scripts for creating, sharing, and verifying snapshots of directories and their contents using human-readable manifests.

While I created Snapdir to solve a specific problem around ML pipeline reproducibility and data distribution, I've also found it very useful for vendoring dependencies such as VM AMIs, binaries, and container images in my infrastructure-as-code environments.

The manifest format should be easy to understand and kept under version control for auditing purposes. If you want to incorporate it into your workflows, you can use the snapdir-manifest script in isolation.

The project is still in its early stages, and the current bash version should be considered a proof of concept. You can use the tests included in the bash version to validate implementations in other languages.

For a quick test, you can play with it from the 5MB docker image:

docker run -it --rm bermi/snapdir help

and to check a sample manifest

docker run -it --rm bermi/snapdir manifest /lib

I hope you find it helpful, and I would love to hear your feedback and PRs!
Privacy would help here but more importantly these big companies need to provide a way to fix errors. Seems once you get caught by one of the filters you get suspended and are offered no path to clarify the situation.

Eh, you may not “know” something like this, but considering it’s never happened in my country in my lifetime at any appreciable scale, it’s probably not very likely, and doesn’t realistically factor into my threat model.

If you want to “worst case” scenario something, that’s your choice, but it’s not very predictive.
I didn't see the 14 on my first read through last night (I read this at like 1:30 in the morning), but that would make much more sense. I interpreted the "some" as a handful at most, which is why I said "footprints" and not "footprint". Even in that situation, I would probably still recommend not going the OpenShift Virtualization route. Obviously these groups would have different deployment sizes, but I would still personally be wary of moving several thousand VMs to OpenShift as part of a cost saving measure if there wasn't an intent to migrate to containers over time (based on the OpenShift Virtualization of today).

That's not to say it's not possible or a bad idea, just that each org would need to evaluate for themselves. We do have customers that have made this just and are running OpenShift clusters with >1k VMs on OpenShift Virtualization.

My advice is to take reasonable precautions. However, if you have your entire life savings in an offshore back account with Venmo access which doesn't require 2FA ... then yea, I would worry.

I believe things that are valuable, like truly valuable, should be hard to change. Like liquidating a 401k life savings shouldn't be a couple mouse clicks. It should be a long and hard process because you are prolly only going to once or twice in your life. There is nothing wrong IMO with requiring being present at a bank to perform significant value transfers. Sure, wouldn't it be nice to only have to click a button? Sure ... but requiring physical (think MFA) slows the process down for the sake of security.
This can only be done with permanent magnetic motors which is not the norm for EVs for many reasons. In a non permanent magnetic motor on loss of power there is no energy to dump into braking resistors since the motor is not causing any resistance because the coils have been de-energized.
A friend of mine is an organic pea and wheat farmer, about 700 acres this year.

He is very anti-debt and specifically buys older tractors and equipment in order to have redundancy at low cost.

Other people he knows load up on debt by buying new equipment - but 2 bad farming years in a row can put someone out of business and lose the farm.
> He wanted to you to see his viewpoint and his experience.

I don't think the protagonist has a viewpoint. My impression was that he was a random jerk. Why did I watch a movie about a random jerk who is not worth paying attention to. It was definitely a waste of time. If wasting my time was the intention of the director, then I would say that he succeeded.
I have a lot to hide.

I want to hide what sandwich I had for lunch.

I want to hide what my favourite mug is.

I want to hide lots of things about my life that are legal and socially completely acceptable.

Why do I want to hide these legal and socially acceptable activities? That's also something I choose not to divulge.

Should I be allowed to hide these things?

So this makes me wonder: how common is desktop app development with Java these days? I imagine there is still a lot done for internal app, but is it still viable to ship Java apps to end users? How you handle JRE distribution in that case?

You're in a nasty little situation and they're not answering their business phones. You're facing a $80k windfall tax liability you'll need cash to pay, and the possibility Google will wake up an demand their money back at the most inconvenient time (after taxes are due, etc).
" I don't do anything that is a crime"

You may be doing something right now that may be viewed as a crime in the future. Abortion comes to mind but I am sure there are more.
Were they arrested for "protesting the monarchy" or breaching the peace? Context is important. Silently holding up a banner: fine. Yelling at passing royals at a moment of deep solemnity: not fine, and stretching the free speech defence IMO. A bit like yelling at women entering an abortion clinic, or yelling loyalist slogans at an IRA funeral. There's a time & place.

Edit: Also, this is OT anyway from the matter of privacy and "nothing to hide".
in that respect, everything's 'next gen'...
Thanks for the mentions (and for using TimescaleDB).

If anyone's curious about TimescaleDB, it's packaged as an extension to Postgres, optimizing for performance, storage, and analysis of time series data. Implementing columnar compression algorithms is a big part of the secret sauce that makes TimescaleDB a popular choice with Postgres and SQL developers. You can read more about that on the Timescale blog (I'm Timescale's community manager btw). https://www.timescale.com/blog/search/?query=compression

Lucky you. I've lived in the UK and the US and seen examples of this happening in both.
That’s a silly response, as clothes aren’t worn for “hiding”, but for the negative social consequences of the alternative.

Ignoring the role social taboo plays in that interaction isn’t intellectually honest.
Privacy is all about having agency over information about one's life.

Unless there is some clear and genuine overriding interest, I should be the one to decide whether or not, to whom, when, and how that information is disclosed.

That doesn't mean I am necessarily opposed to any piece of information being disclosed (i.e. I have nothing to hide), but these decisions shouldn't be made for me.
Adding to this, a lot of projects these days will rely upon some external libraries and APIs. So a new language in this case is just a sauce to consume the utilities.

As for the practical aspect of picking up a new language (for a purpose), I'd shamelessly look into an already existing projects along with following whatever language textbook.

Learning syntax is likely a simplest step, picking up an idiom is more involved and is often specific to objectives.

> there's an obvious use-case for owning your own money

Definitely! But on a blockchain you don't own your money, the consensus does. The Ethereum split proved this.
The way to hell is paved with good intentions.

I'm looking at the European Union and at Apple and Google. Good intentions? That doesn't mean that you're the good guys! History has shown that the bad guys always believe strongly that they were the good guys. Privacy and security is not only about protection from criminals and companies but especially about protection from our governments. It doesn't matter wether you voted for your government or not or you like them or not or they like you or not.
YOu can get the certs by studying and doing quizzes on the online learning platforms.

I'm pretty sure most of what you talk about involves completely different departments or authorities (and thus "different people") as they are not anti-trust issues.

Also, AFAIK EU wasn't really involved in energy security until the crisis this year, so I'd hardly say they "walked the continent" into it.

I think you highly underestimate the compatibility problems it would cause.

You'd have to replace the global networking infrastructure. Starting from every wall plug to the switches and backbone devices. The new connector would have to be easily crimpable, and hopefully as cheap as RJ45, I don't think you could go much slimmer.

All of this just so your end device can be a little bit slimmer. Definitely not worth it.

Using both at the same time so you could leave the backbone alone might work, but this already exists in the form of a usb type-c network adapter.

Yeah this story has a problem.

An entire company 'quits' and just 're-does the thing' is almost assuredly theft of know-now and IP, but more than that theft of the operating modality.

It takes in incredible amount of work, risk, investment etc. to 'get something up and going' - with all of the parts working.

Any time you walk into a company you'll see what looks like 'things working' on some level, usually that took incredible trials and travails.

It's a bit like 'decent code' - it takes iterations, after which, it's 'obvious in hindsight'.

Every coder knows it's 'figuring it out' that's hard, whereas doing it a second time is easy.

Employees who tool 100% salary to start, without higher risk equity, and then wanted to 'trade after the fact' shouldn't be miffed - they just shouldn't have taken the job if what they wanted was equity.

It could entirely be the case of cockroach management giving horrible terms to everyone including underpayment etc. but these stories are often one-sided.

I'm working with a company right now that I've discovered has a seemingly 'simple' product. It took this young girl 4 years of struggle (and failure before) that, to get this thing where it is and establish all the sales relationships. I'm sure I could duplicate it quickly with minimal resources (I wouldn't do that to her), but it has dawned on me how much effort it takes to move things forward.

Here is the story, and it doesn't really speak to some kind of greedy action by 2015, the original game devs. More subtle than that. More like the original team, which was assembled by EA, liked working together, and were lured away by another studio as a team.

Why would math alone have any actual value?

I personally place the long term value of all current crypto coins at 0$. Risk makes them a poor medium of exchange for the average person, and new investors eventually want to have positive returns on their investments.

Yeah, it's a common misunderstanding by Americans (and even British people due to American media influence) that the UK has freedom of speech. Instead it is this _really_ washed out vague protection. NPR clearly have zero idea of this either.

Add on top of this the new hate crime laws that disallow 'hate speech' (which includes critique) of 'protected classes', and you don't really have the right to complain. The police also record "non-crime hate incidents" on your permanent record (zero due process, zero ability to remove it), and the police will quite literally come to visit you and "correct your thinking" (yes, they actually say this).

Personally, I really want to see freedom of speech implemented. This of course directly conflicts with the traditions we know and love, so it's unclear where we go from here. It seems as though freedom of speech is coming whether it matches our culture or not, and many British people already behave as though they already have it.

A Yamaha XSR900 - probably not what people would think of as a natural bike to go on a 5500 km journey from Northern Europe to the Balkans, but you really can tour on anything. It was great in the alpine roads - especially the few days I did unloaded. It wasn't ideal on the few unpaved roads I found - especially with road tyres - but I coped with it. A few more litres in the tank (only 14L, ~300km) would have been helpful.

Luggage was a bit harder due to limited options but I got a 48L tailpack and a 12L tank bag. With a few straps and bungees I had enough space to fit everything needed for riding and camping.
