I can't seem to find the same search result with this query. In fact, searching for "google" "standard TCP" doesn't seem to find any such article (only Google's 2011 publication on TCP Fast-Open deployment, ironically), so it's going to be hard to find what you're talking about.

If you link to the article in question (and relevant quotes) I'm happy to try and clarify your misunderstanding.
Energy Problems: Yes, Still There
Funnily enough I thought it was a pretty clear-cut case for the game, as a parody of the Ikea shopping experience. The trademarks that the game is allegedly infringing on (the colors blue and yellow on signs with Scandinavian words) are the same sorts of things you'd see in a Grand Theft Auto game (eg the Swedish furniture store Krapea). IMO the game isn't going to be confused with an actual Ikea product by a reasonable person.

I think it was worse overall, but it really depends on what you want to measure/value.

I loved having the 6 white "Inside Macintosh" volumes and being able to sit on a couch and read them. I loved that, if you paid to be in the Apple Dev Program, you could get your questions answered by actual Apple engineers working on the bowels of the product you were interfacing to. (We were doing some fairly deep TrueType work in support of the System 7 launch and just afterwards.)

What sucked was there was no web in any practical sense. Code sharing was vastly more limited (CPAN would still be 3 years away). Linux 0.99 wasn't out yet. CVS was state of the art and much collaboration was by emailing patches around. What you were building on was what the OS and proprietary framework/compiler gave you and you were building almost everything else from scratch. Expectations from users were lower, but the effort to reach them was still quite high. Software that I worked on was sold in shrink-wrap boxes in computer stores for high prices. Therefore, they sold few units.

Compensation was a mixed bag. I was making more than my friends in other engineering fields, but not by a lot. The multiplier is significantly higher now in tech.

On the plus side, I was shipping code to go into a box (or be ftp'd from our server), so I can't ever recall being paged (I didn't even ever carry a pager until 1997 and working in online financial services) or bothered when not at work.

I think the world is better today: much easier to build on the shoulders of others, much easier to deliver something MVP to customers, get feedback, and iterate quickly, much easier to A/B test, much easier to advertise to users, much more resources available (though some are crap) online, and the value you can create per year is much higher, leading to higher satisfaction and higher compensation.
Exactly, but the goal of a two party system is that you can reliably blame the other party for any problems, even though in practice there's very little difference between both. It's a feature of the current system.
In my comment:

> not all security fixes (note: not a patch) can apply to older operating systems because some depend on architectural changes.

Per your second point, how would you go about preventing a kext from wreaking havoc in an older OS without changing the fundamental nature of kernel interaction that would only apply to a newer OS?

Not everything is backwards patchable. Some things are results of decades long development practices that patching would cause the OS to break for users who aren't able to upgrade yet.

e.g if you break my ability to use kexts on an older OS, but third party hardware I depend on still requires a kext, which is worse? A low risk of malware, or not being able to do my job at all?
Probably only because that's what he's familiar with. Rails has the most ubiquitous scale problems that large co's keep migrating away from, and new devs are trending away from it. Shopify investing into the JS/TS backend world is just another domino falling of Ruby/Rails descending into Perl-like prevalence.
Not all Managed Detection and Response services are the same. Critical Insight has services that Arctic Wolf can't match.
Your behind the scenes perspective is very interesting.

From a small business customer perspective:
I have a small local business that I run on the side. It's a franchise type of business like what you would see in your local strip mall. We used to get our best leads from Facebook ads. More than 90% of the clicks were mobile. A high percentage of the clicks would set a tour and a decent percentage of those sign up their kid(s) for the program we offer. We went from about 20 good leads per month to 0-1 for the same ad spend. Yes, it really was that extreme. I don't know who facebook is showing our ads to, but they do not want our product.

I just got around to canceling with the agency that handles our ad spend today. The N of this story is 1, but if other businesses are experiencing anything close to the same, fb's revenue decline is just beginning.

> Like dude, if you aren't going to step into my world and actually understand what I'm trying to do here, just suck it up and ack my patch.

> It is not my job to drag you kicking and screaming until you either give up or have a lightbulb moment.

Soooo, you're saying if I submit a 1700 line change to _your_ codebase, step into your world and "actually understand" what you're trying to do, you'll just magically _approve_ my commits, no questions asked? Sounds pretty irresponsible.

Yes, you do have to drag people kicking and screaming into your better world. They think their world is pretty neat already! Proving yours is better actually takes patience and work.
> A world war (possibly) appears to be on the horizon

Between who? It will have to be a nuclear war, otherwise I am unsure who would be battling.
Battery storage being built today is, correctly, almost all for shifting afternoon collection to evening usage, where batteries are best suited by their unlimited charge and discharge wattage, and their high cost per MWh stored matters least.

For storage beyond 4 hours, other considerations become important, particularly cost per MWh stored. You still need to extract plenty of wattage, but charge rate matters less. So, you need big or many turbines, but pumps can be slower. And, of course, retrofitting the many existing reservoirs is cheapest, so you do that before building anew.

Fuel storage similarly takes advantage of existing combined-cycle turbines, which are being adapted to burn a gradually increasing fraction of hydrogen. It remains to be seen whether they can be made to burn ammonia directly, or if the ammonia must first release its hydrogen. Stored fuel has the great advantage that it can be shipped, bought, and sold.
As a concept, I can see the positives in Rocky.

As a user, I struggle because of one main reason. The seeming lack of LTS version either currently or planned.

I currently am predominantly Debian. Which is inherently LTS, and generally works Just Fine (TM) except when you fall into something where they are a just a bit too cautious (e.g lack of in-house PHP 8 option in the current Debian Bullseye release - nothing in main repo, nothing in backports, you have to go to an external repo).

I refuse to use Ubuntu because of their increasingly commercial smell. I tried SUSE but always felt a bit uncomfortable with some of its more exotic sysadmin tendencies.

Which kind of leaves me in the market for another LTS platform.
You’re right! Dunno why I dismissed Thrift in my research, but I definitely missed this fact.
Article seems to argue against something that not many people are arguing, which is that Meta is at risk of imminent death. It's a giant, if it dies it will be a very slow, boring and drawn out affair.

Without a doubt they are still a money printing machine with billions of users but the real debate is whether they at all still innovate and the Metaverse discussion which Ben barely spends a paragraph on should be at the center of it given that they've even staked their name on it.

Anything people like about FB is companies they bought or features they copied. WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. The blue app is the Java of social media, everyone uses it but nobody likes it. Meta has a governance model that should be very dynamic, Zuckerberg is literally dictator for life. But the thing they've only ever been successful at is making money, which if anything is owed to people like Sandberg, who now seem to be leaving.

A company that is run essentially by one person has the business model of something that's run by a committee, and the one creative decision he makes in decades seems like a total flop. That should at least be slightly alarming.
> I tend to think that a lot of people have the general feeling that real looking people are nicer than good looking people. That’s why it’s always such a surprise when someone good looking isn’t a complete arshole, suprising enough to tell people that they aren’t an arshole. Because the assumption is that good looking people are arsholes.

I'm one of the nicest people you'll ever see!
Exactly. I’m not referring to what’s upvoted the most (don’t care). I’m directly referring to the tone of the over all thread, the volume of comments en masse.

Voting one way or the other doesn't change this.

Of course, I’m not surprised that HN is bashing Hotz - any amount of tangible success will bring about negative rhetoric from people who don’t like seeing others succeed. It’s just that HN keeps having its own slashdot iPod moment on a weekly basis, and it’s awful to see it in a tech community (I hope it’s still a tech community). Really tone deaf and petulant takes by people who should think twice before hitting the reply button.

I live in Manhattan and I find a bicycle to be a better choice for the majority of my trips than public transit (it's faster, too). I only use public transit for long trips or when I'm traveling with suitcases.

Bikes are simply better at point-to-point transportation (the same advantage that cars have), except that they don't take up a lot of space so it's actually a scalable solution to have everyone using them to get around even in a dense city; see Amsterdam as an example.

Cars are the #2 cause of death for kids, edged out only by guns: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2201761

We can see by comparing the US to peer nations that most of these deaths are preventable -- Sweden, where Vision Zero originated, has like 80% fewer traffic fatalities. We just don't have the political will to do it.

The very fact that you think this is hyperbolic is what I'm talking about. 40,000 dead in the US each year and the response is a collective shrug.
(1) it is not the case that they serve lifetime appointments "because they don't want to give up power." They serve lifetime appointments because the framers of the constitution decided it was better for the court to be structured that way hundreds of years before they were born.

(2) Forcing them to give up power, as you put it, would require a constitutional amendment, which is not something any one person can do.

Accessibility is very important, and you wouldn't want to use a palette like this as a default theme, but that doesn't mean everything has to pass every test. Many apps allow people to change themes and there's nothing wrong with offering a less-accessible one.
If you want the real answer it's pretty easy to figure out. There's a group of people that want a particular form of society and that necessitates the absolute removal of the personal car, usually without actually fixing the problems that the car is supposedly causing.

People will adapt to many things, but that doesn't mean it is good - you could stop food deliveries to major cities and they'd empty in days; cars included; but that wouldn't be good.
It's framed this way because car infrastructure is so massive and sprawling that it by necessity crowds out public transit in cities.

It's also a vicious cycle: making public transit marginally worse increases the number of people who drive to get places, which makes the government build more roads, which makes cities sprawl more, and eventually you end up with a city like Atlanta that spans 50 miles and is barely navigable without a car.

Yes, it will piss people off - it will make cities MUCH less convenient for suburban drivers. That's not a bad thing unless you happen to be a suburban driver.
Ah yes, go ahead and create a stripe account that will allow $6m flow in less than a week, hit me up when you're done, that alone would probably require more than 6 days of back and forth with Stripe

No they wouldn't. They would take to the polls and vote in a city council that would reverse whatever sort of plans you think would be implemented. A lot of people seem to think that they will just be able to force a majority of people to join them in bike heaven on the other side of sweeping infrastructure changes but there are far too many people who aren't interested in it and won't let it happen. Car driving and the things it enables are valued much higher by a much bigger proportion of the population that many people seem to want to believe.

I could write a big, long, treatise, but I think others have done better than I.

The main thing was, for me, that very, very few of us actually had any CS/SWE training. Almost everyone I worked with, had schooling/training in other disciplines, and migrated over to SE (I was an Electronic Technician, then an EE, and then an SWE).

It was pretty cool. We didn't have the extreme conformity that I see so much, these days. Lunchtime conversations were always interesting. We also approached problem-solving and architecture from various angles.

The 3-class system is pretty good for defining e-bikes. But, it's useless for actually enforcing anything.

1 - pedal assist only, 20mph max assist
2 - pedal or throttle, 20mph max
3 - pedal only, 28mph max
And anything faster is just an electric motorbike/scooter (and should have tags and a license, etc).

I'm fine with sharing bike infrastructure and multi-use paths with class 1&2 e-bikes, e-scooter with similar speed limits, and anything else in the e-mobility space (e-hand-cycles, etc).

I'm in the DC suburbs and we get a lot of e-bikes, but so far, they're mostly a mix of expensive Trek/Specialized stuff that older or less-able adults ride for fitness. Or, cheap (Amazon, etc) e-bikes used for transport. And bike lane traffic is light enough that there's no conflict.

But, I definitely see the potential problem. A friend just texted me a for-sale listing for a lightweight e-dirt-bike that does 70mph, but from 10' away you'd never know it wasn't a pedal bike at all (looks like a regular downhill race bike).

As a person who has comma in both my cars, I disagree with this sentiment.

First, I have a 2022 car and a 2020 car, and in both the stock cruise control is decent and the lane minding is terrible, and neither can do stop-and-go. So already Comma's 2022 technology is far, far beyond my automobile manufacturers' 2022 technology (mid level cars - Honda and Toyota). Second, in my 2022 car and 2020 car, the cruise control and lane minding technology is going to be exactly the same 5 years from now as it is now, whereas with Comma I get multiple software updates a year and I could upgrade the hardware as well in the future (if they come out with new models) though that would have an additional cost. Either way, I won't need to buy an entirely new car to upgrade the self-driving capabilities.

Now, arguably, if the car manufacturers got to the point where their default cruise control and lane minding were as good as Comma is now, maybe that would undercut the need for people to buy Comma at all, since the capabilities of 2022 Comma are really nice to have. But I don't think so because (a) it's a hard problem and I'm not convinced car manufacturers can do it and (b) You'd assume Comma will also be much better by then [stopping at red lights, stop signs, etc].
You're right, I was confusing with Prop 16 in 2020.
I was there that weekend myself and had a sukkah experience. I could imagine a certain type of person complaining about them - eg they are uttering sidewalks, left lying about here and there - but fundamentally it was great. The scooters are everywhere, with dedicated lanes, being ridden by everyone (locals and tourists) and the streets are wide and well marked. I lived in SF for ten years and it always felt like I was taking my life into my own hands on one there - but it felt like a “supported” mobility option in Austin. My friend and I looked at our credit cards and we each took 19 (!!) scooter rides in the ~72 hours we were there.

I should add though - they are dangerous, even when we’ll done, and riders shouldn’t be cavalier. I fell once (I’m coordinated and competent - but a crack in a sidewalk, in broad daylight, got me) and feel extremely lucky to have gotten away with nothing more than a skinned knee and palm.
Your comment belies that you have never worked on kernel and system level infrastructure with mass deployment.

You can't just patch an old kernel for all security flaws because you may break other things like how third party drivers interact with the kernel. That interaction itself may be the cause of a security flaw (and in fact is, which is why they're moving to user space kernels with DriverKit)

How would you posit that you patch an architectural security hole that would break users setups if you were to backport it?
Knowledge was everything, I bought tons of books and had fun digging into the most obscure and arcane language features. Just mastering things was very rewarding in itself - gave me a feeling of accomplishment and brought the respect of my peers.

Software architecture was a thing - you were given the full responsibility for your component. Something to take seriously. And something you could take pride in, when your process was the first one to run 24/7 without crashing or memory leaks...

Work-life balance was worse for me because I spent lots of "free" time learning stuff to apply at work. Now I'm trying to do things I enjoy. Coding isn't among those things any more - Scrum and its ilk took all the fun out of that.

1. The speed can be governed

2. Agreed. Crazy to me that people ride these without helmets. There's also foldable helmets for people annoyed by the size of regular ones. Protected bike lanes also improve this.

That said, banning scooters is a step backward.
There are power users with more privileges like being able to lock controversial articles, revert defaced articles, and stuff. Those people apply for the position.
The kicker for me is that the area covered by the ultrasonic sensors is essentially all blind spots for the cameras. The sensors currently are able to tell you when something too low to see is getting within a few inches of the car. It also gives an exact distance when parking, so I can know that I'm parking exactly 2ft from the wall every time. As much as they claim otherwise, it simply cannot be a matter of fixing it in software. The cameras can't tell you what they can't see. They simply don't have the coverage to do this, and clearly don't even have the coverage to hit parity with radar enabled autopilot either.
I feel like this is one of those instances where it's better to be polarising than blandly likeable. That said, I would fall on the 'don't like' part of that polarization for most games - some games this feels very appropriate for though.

No. Some of us aren’t communists and would rather have less government control over our lives.
Rental scooters are like if we lived in a society where everyone rode horses and then suddenly you could rent a Ford Model-T to drive without any lessons or a driver's license and no cultural standards of safety or infrastructure built for cars.

Banning e-scooters wholesale rather than figuring out how they can be part of a safe mobility culture is like banning combustion vehicles at the onset of the invention of cars.

I will agree though that safer electric PEV like e-bike or e-tricycle are likely safer, as are those with speed governors, and add in dedicated protected lanes.

What makes you think panspermia is more likely than abiogenesis?

The only data point we have suggests the evolution of eukaryotic cells and multicellular life is simply less likely than abiogenesis. There are plenty of hypothesis to explain why that might be the case.
This is the wrong threat model, I say more here[0]. There's a difference in threat model when you're an individual vs part of a large protest/revolution. A government can't arrest everyone. They can definitely get a mole into the encrypted discussion (even if it isn't technological). You can't vet hundreds of people in such a short time. Protests and revolutions have been organized in the open on Facebook and Twitter for exactly this reason. Because it doesn't matter. You're going to go out and show your face to CCTV anyways.
