That's a real stretch in a conversation about anti-competitive practices. These practices were a problem for consumers when MS employed them on Windows and they're a problem now on iOS. Specific to your point, browser vendors competing fairly would almost certainly find advantage in offering the most secure browser, thereby improving the platform for all, including Apple.

Yes, I understand it. In spite of uploading hundreds of torrents to what.cd I never remembered the exact rules/flowcharts of things as I just have a poor memory for these kind of things. To this day I can't even recite the full alphabet.

Even if you think the cryptography devs did something wrong, doesn't it prove the distro maintainers weren't doing any review? If they didn't catch something called out in the changelog I don't see how anyone can claim they're catching things you'd need to carefully read the source to find. (I'm not blaming distro maintainers, it would be impossible for them to do actual reviews.)

On the other hand, healthcare companies aren't an integral part of a cycle which leads to armed mobs.

The other thing to remember is that healthcare costs, while significant, are both familiar and legal, and the government uses the regulatory powers which Congress has granted it. Finance similarly has existing agencies and laws and while there are periods of lax regulation which end badly most people would say that the problem is regulators choosing not to use their powers or Congress underfunding staffing rather than an unclear question of how to handle a particular problem. In contrast, something like what should be acceptable on social media doesn't have public consensus and runs into thorny constitutional issues. It's understandable that this gets more attention, especially a time when one of the major political parties is making unfounded allegations in an attempt to keep their voters active.
I recall reading here a guy complaining that self hosted emails we're super prone to blocking because they didn't come from a reputable Domain/address, and weren't whitelisted from some of the big guys

Which is kind of the problem, if you need to be approved by the Big guys, there's not much of a point of calling open and fair

You still can host for sure, but the moment M$/Gmail, blocks you, you've lost contact with half the people
the reason is because pawoo and baraag are de-facto lolicon servers with neither the censorship requirements of pixiv or the content moderation of twitter.
servers in different countries are going to have different laws and different cultural mores so you will no longer have the twitter model of curating the world's content by the standards of California progressivism which will probably also result in a far more fractured set of communities. considering the kinds of harassment artists are subject to on twitter, i don't even know if that is a bad thing.
In other words, it's still above it's last major peak before this big cycle.

This is basically DisplayLink, which has always worked on M1 macs (and any other device with a usb host) to add displays. It is a USB device that your computer streams compressed image data to, rendered by your existing gpu to an offscreen buffer. It uses a LOT of CPU and power. But this is not new. DisplayLink has been around for forever.

TLDR: Transition from C to Go.

Go was designed by (among others) the father of Unix, Ken Thompson, with an understanding of the mistakes of C and C++. Despite getting hilariously little respect here on Hacker News, the language is (for many purposes) an excellent replacement for C.

(Yes, yes, I know you disagree. Tell me more about how C++ is necessary and all the time you spend fighting it is actually a huge win! Please tell me how slow garbage collection is, all evidence to the contrary!)

Go reads from, and writes to, variable-sized blocks of memory through (pointer, length, capacity) triples, known as "slices". A Go slice "[]int" is essentially a C struct like this, passed around in 3 registers:

struct IntSlice {
int* pointer;
ssize_t length;
ssize_t capacity;
};

Bounds checking in Go is easily disabled (pass -B flag to the compiler) but almost nobody does so because the performance benefit is miniscule. With bounds checking and garbage collection, Go avoids almost all memory-related bugs.

You can understand Go as C redesigned for a world where parallel computing (e.g., dozens of CPU cores) is commonplace, and the benefits of safe code outweigh the tiny costs.

We're not using 80286 chips anymore. We can afford safety.

These songs might be pedestrian (heh) to you, but there is so much niche and experimental all using the same voice--I find this highly fascinating.

The above songs I think give a pretty wide longitudinal view of Vocaloid music and the variety you can find in the fandom, from just Hatsune Miku as the vocal.

The term "memory safe language" (also used in the "Securing Open Source Software Act") is a misnomer. The report kind of acknowledges this "Even with a memory safe language, memory management is not entirely memory safe" but then presses on with the term anyway.

I think they're trying to combine the concepts of languages that have GCs and prevent buffer overflows into a catch-all term, but "memory safe language" isn't a good choice. Non-programmers might take the term at face value.

It's kind of like using the term "safe flame thrower", except no one would be lulled into a false sense of security with that one.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather use a "safer flame thrower" than a "flame thrower", but I also wouldn't trust anyone selling me a "safe flame thrower".

The above is my best Dijkstra impersonation.

You're right. But how much marketing can $44B and time buy you to replicate these network effects?

There are plenty of people trying to replicate the success of the existing social networks, but they're all doing it for $10's - $100's millions.

How much traction would you get if you paid the top 5,000 Twitter accounts $5 million to post exclusively on your new social network?
Vocaloid sounding robotic is kind of the appeal to me.
The entire sales process from searching & reviews to delivery. There are allegations that Amazon uses their data to identify the most profitable areas to set up their own competing brands and may even force sellers to disclose information which is helpful in this regard. If true, it seems pretty clear that a sensible antitrust rule would be to split those functions into separate businesses with strict rules about what non-public data they're allowed to exchange so the Amazon Basics guys don't have any information about what's selling where which you couldn't get.
Every release has brought the function parity closer to PostgreSQL. When we first migrated, it didn't have enums or partial indexes, or (a rather long list of thing).

Now, I'd say there are 3 big missing features:

- Extensions, if you rely on a specific extension, you need to check if CockroachDB has built-in support for it.

- Full text search (we had very simple search needs (e.g. names, emails) and just stored trigrams into the database, and it worked ok)

- Triggers (and more generally, procedures/functions).

Queries will generally execute slower than PostgreSQL - whether we're talking about fetching a row by id, or doing an aggregate. Maybe the performance table flips at a huge scale where PostgreSQL can't even keep up, I don't know.

It's incredibly easy to manage and setup in a properly working HA environment. I was managing 2 PostgreSQL servers each with their own read replicas and a 3-node CockroachDB cluster. Doing upgrades to the PostgreSQL servers always involved downtime. Doing upgrades to CRDB was done without downtime and was much easy to automate.

When we started using CockroachDB, the free version barely had working backups. This has improved, but for a database built around resilience, the free offering still has serious shortcomings. Namely, you can't have read replicas or delayed read replicas and you can't do incremental backups or use other approaches that can facilitate PITR. So ya, you're protected against server failure, can easily upgrade and expand the cluster, but there's a class of errors/failures where (the free version at least), has ZERO solution.

Overall, I'd strongly recommend it, but I'd first check if any of the "fancy" PG/extension that I need for a specific project are available. I'd also do some performance testing on the specific schema/types of queries.

I don't understand how this criticism applies to OPs service. Why do you think the emissions aren't really truly being offset?

It looks like they provide 5 different CO2 capture services through different partners, and the projects methods and details are widely available. You can choose any desired ratio of the 5. Of these 5, 4 of them seem to be methods that, for a cost, directly and physically remove a known quantity of CO2 from the atmosphere. Only one, Forestation, seems to be potentially prone to the type of ambiguities you mention, where the intended impact never actually occurs, but this depends on if it's actually being done properly. The partner they are using is onetreeplanted, which seems to be endorsed by or partnered with a lot of credible environmental organizations.
MRNA vaccines are not banned to sell in poorer countries. They are currently just too expensive for them, I suppose.

Once Moderna recoups the cost of R&D and pockets some profits, it will face the need to keep selling. With the pandemic basically over, they'll need to sell to wider markets, because they have the production capacity. They'll lower the price and try to use the economies of scale by selling large amounts.

The fact that any technological advances first become available to those who can pay a high initial price (not only in money) is pretty inevitable. If something is a runaway success, the price goes down with volume, and ideally with pressure from competition.

If you want to make something vitally important available at a low price, you have to find enough money to let the producers make some profit, or at least to recover the cost of development. If you don't, nobody will consider working on it, even if they wanted, because getting an investment would become impossible, and you can't do biotech on pocket money.

(You could of course force them work at gunpoint, but not being forced to work at gunpoint is usually even more vitally important for the health of a society.)

Since the mother dies at hatching of the eggs, there can be no culture where knowledge is transferred. There would need to be some evolutionary change where the mother does not die at that point or the father does not die after insemination. They still can be very intelligent but they have to learn everything in their short lifespan that is not instinctual. The species also has a tool that humans do not possess - extensive RNA editing to adapt.

A more deliberate (some might say sneaky, but I'd prefer it if I was in the situation) move would be to take an extra week or two to have some of your management do some feeling out of who would be 100% opposed to remote so you could include them in the layoff list, but also don't force people to uproot just to be laid off.

But at least you could avoid some of the "unregretted attrition" of people you decided to keep.

(This assumes Musk isn't intentionally sequencing things to limit the "official" size of the layoff while actually wanting to cut a significantly larger percentage.)
It's strange to attribute failure to the blockchain in this case. There was no visibility into how much leverage was taken on by Alameda because they aren't borrowing through DeFi means. This a traditional finance problem where a hedge fund takes on too much leverage and no one finds out until they explode.

No visibility leads to no accountability.

You're not wrong, but it's important to remember that Ajit Pai was not a civil servant – he was a political appointee. Civil servants are career government employees, whose jobs are not tied to an election, administration, or term in office.

Civil servants necessarily put their own personal politics aside, because in all likelihood they will serve under several different political administrations. That is not the case, nor the expectation, for political appointees.

Regulated fractional reserve banks are usually insured by the regulators.

If the bank goes bust, the government covers the customers' losses up to a predetermined amount (FDIC covers $250k per account in the US).

This helps to prevent bank runs, because people know that they'll get their money even if the bank collapses.

If you worked on Google's crawl scheduling, HN would be one of the sites you used to test out ideas for better scheduling heuristics, right?

I worked in indexing over a decade ago, but back then, after some basic constraints (per-IP rate limiting, don't re-check any page for updates too often, don't wait a crazy long time before re-checking any page, etc.), it was a bunch of arcane black magic heuristics to schedule pages for crawling.

These days, I imagine they have one ML model for the expected time until a given page shows up on the first page of search results for some query, another ML model for guessing how much the page has changed (cosine distance of some semantic embedding or something), and schedule based on the product of the two estimates. It's still probably lots of black magic heuristics, just now it's probably heuristics nobody can read.

"It's possible that the commissioners are concerned about it, and are trying to make some kind of mark and set precedent before they are all fired and replaced if a Republican (Trump?) takes office in 2024."

It is also possible that this is an incorrect interpretation despite its position as the top HN comment. Note I am not saying it is incorrect, I am saying it is possible it is incorrect. Anything is possible, right. Well, almost.

FTC Commissioners are appointed for terms of seven years,^1 and no more than three can be from the the same political party. The Senate must confirm nominations. The President chooses the Chairperson. See 15 USC 41.

Commissioners frequently resign before their terms expire, but I am not aware of any instances where a Commissioner, or all five of them, as suggested by the parent comment, have been been "fired" for political reasons. Perhaps an astute HN commenter can cite one.

1. The exception is if they are filling a vacancy left by someone who leaves before their term expires.
For those wondering why people would store coins on centralised exchanges, the answer is simply because you are heavily incentivised to do so.
When Ethereum was congested and simple transfers were costing upwards of $200 - FTX offered a number of free ERC20 withdrawals if you staked a certain amount of FTT.

in addition to that - the more FTT you staked the more preferential treatment you got in access to IDO's and referral fees, when you couple this with a platform that felt "safe" and "trustworthy" - this was a recipe for disaster.

I've been in Crypto a long time and previous rugs always felt a bit sketchy, like it was an unfinished product, you put up with it but your risk tolerance was lower as those platforms felt like they might disappear at any one point.

FTX felt different - and this is why there are people with 8 figures+ stuck on there right now.
Even ~10 years ago it was a money fire (https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/21/technology/twitter-10th-ann...). Trump was one of the best things that happened to the platform.

Not to sound snarky, but the fun would be in being able to solve business problems without fighting against a complex system. Microservices can definitely make sense but if you need them and know you need them. If it's just for fun and it's not a hobby, and you're being paid to maintain someone else's system then it's definitely worth going with a simpler system.
