If I understand it correctly, it is as overlap with the "sidecar" design-pattern, correct? (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/pattern...)

If so, then super interesting product! Have actually had a somewhat similar idea myself for a product that allows you to create "subsystems" that are isolated from one another, allowing you great freedom in how the subsystems are deployed. They could be deployed all on the same machine, or, if greater scalability is needed, a subsystem (or plugin) could be moved to its own machine, or even scaled up to run multiple instances.

Have only read through the simple code example on your website, but also, it would be great if there was a standard for calling and receiving requests through FFI's. Because this would give it the utmost flexibility on where the plugins can be deployed to. To me, this means both the actual mechanism for the call (REST over HTTP, graphQL...) and in the plugin and host themselves, with the syntax of the call. So for the syntax, it would also be great if this looked more like a regular method call instead of having to wrap parameters in an object:

hostWrapper.somemethod(param1, param2) or
hostWrapper.call("somemethod", param1, param2)

(Although, not sure how difficult this is to do, given all the different method call syntaxes of the different languages).

And, am glad that you and your company is really trying to make this happen, it's a great idea! Looking forward to giving it a try!
> One of the first products I worked on was polls. And one of the big discussions was around the tradeoffs between integrity and privacy – keeping logs [or each user’s vote] or not. We landed on the side of privacy,” Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former Head of Trust and Safety who resigned this month, told Rolling Stone.

> “Polls are more prone to manipulation than almost anything else [on Twitter].

IMO, a responsible engineer would not have implemented polls if he knew they were going to be shit. Or they need a very big disclaimer: "Polls allow bots and users to vote multiple times so are not statistically accurate." If that's the case, it's stupid to have them at all.

This isn't the kind of security issue where disclosing it allows new attackers to start exploiting it - because new attackers haven't compromised the keys.

>Hmm apple still makes great hardware but I think software wise quality has suffered and this quote applies…

I'm of the opinion that nobody makes a really nice user experience. My #1 complaint on every platform, website, device, OS, and software can be summed up as "Stop doing what you're doing, and do what I want." Computers and software should be tools that serve the user. They need to know their place!

>These are just ads disguised as systems alerts … hurts the experience and comes off as cheap.

Devil's advocate: I think a lot of users are idiots. Anyone who's been in software for a while will discover this: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*zffZ0ysfR4BokVvSxo...

I think you're not wrong that they're disguising these ads as alerts. But if it helps the user who doesn't care, or more importantly - doesn't understand - backup their photos for when they drop their phone in the lake will be better off, and overall happier with the whole experience. Save someone's irreplaceable photos one single time and you'll likely have a customer for life. Apple is very good at this kind of thing. People make fun of apple fans as idiots, but... it's hard to argue apple doesn't know their customers.
Which is also a disincentive (however small) for having kids - just as you finally start being able to afford something nice, you have to wait until your kids are ~15+ years old. Only then, you have a small window of opportunity, some 10 years maybe, before your offspring spawns children of their own...

(Myself I prefer the approach of "have nice stuff, just don't sweat it when kids damage it - it's still just stuff".)

Also, your point doesn't work in context of GP's comment taken as whole, i.e. of reverting back to products used 50 years ago: a big value plastics bring as a material family is safety - when you replace your plastics with glass and metals, your home doesn't turn into a "functional household you can let them play like actual children" - it turns into a hazardous environment where children can maim themselves with every other object they touch.

I think part of what has happened to decentralized internet systems is technological, and part of it is terminology.

It seems like we still have decentralized systems but now call them fediverse, distributed, decentralized, federated, ipfs, web 3.0, etc..

It might have been interesting if he'd looked at searches for those terms as well.
EA and EAS are extremely similar in the studied context, both in their use as surfactants in the tested products and their effect on the human body.

The harm done by EAS was previously established by these same researchers and referenced in the paper: "Our recent studies have demonstrated that exposure to anionic surfactants in laundry detergents impairs the epithelial barrier functions in human skin and bronchial epithelial cells even at very high dilutions."

"Anionic surfactants" AKA sulfates, sulfonates, phosphates.

The EA are nonionic, by comparison, but do the same damage to the gut or any other part of the epithelium.

Commercial dishwashers don't wash the dishes with soap, rather they blast them with water, and then sanitize with bleach.

Home dishwashers attempt to remove food residue with enzymes (also no soap).
Yes. I have a Mitsubishi mini split and my broadlink (RM3, but effectively the same from an IR standpoint) is able to transmit codes. I did have to train the broadlink unit, which basically consists of putting it into a “learn” mode and then pressing the desired button on the mini split remote.

> I was watching a Disney+ documentary on the making of Disney World and was impressed that all the garage cans use pneumatic tubes to empty in a central dump not visible to guests. Is such a solution not possible at NYC scale?

There is one portion of Manhattan where that is done, yes.

That would be cost-prohibitive in most of the city due to the amount of digging required, and the expense of digging in NYC (an old city which has extensive underground piping and infrastructure that was laid before these things were regularly documented, so there's no way to know which water/electricity/etc lines are in an area before you actually dig there).

A HN poster recommended L. Reuteri supplements a while back, and I cannot recommend them enough: 6 months on and I've been able to completely drop a prucalopride prescription and have almost eliminated what used to be frequent and fairly crippling gut pain.

The key I found was at about the 2 month mark things seemed to be getting worse, but after that a dramatic improvement. I was able to stop the supplements after the 3 month pack, though 6 months on there was some regression so I'm taking another round (which seems to have improved things).

It might not be possible for whatever reason to sustain the culture in my intestine, but it's been the first actual improvement I've had in decades.

It is transphobia to deliberately and knowingly lie that children are getting gender confirmation surgery. Because they aren't.

Puberty blockers are non-invasive and reversible and given as medical care for harm reduction. Why do you think what medical care someone gets is anyone else's business? More importantly though, such discourse is never in good faith.

It's still misinformation and hate speech when it's "discussed" in bad faith by reactionary state legislatures.

First ask yourself why anyone else gets a say in another person's medical care. It's really no one else's business.

I rather think it does. If Jane Doe can make do for her 3 children at 21 year old on a $15k/year, what right do you ($100k+) have to say that children are expensive.

I have an original theory, and it goes like this.

Generalizing, tech progress swings repeatedly and unpredictably between three optimands or poles: Developer-first, User-first, and Machine-first.

Developer-first tech is like Flash -- it's powerful because the developer experience is powerful. The quality and profusion of great products drives the adoption and other network effects. Yet these programs tend to be heavier (non-optimal for machines) and, for lack of a better term, frou-frou-ier; the ease of applying themes and styles promotes 'mystery UI', where the dev reinvents (or more commonly, balderizes) the visual language of the user interface. Flash apps always had ornate, ridiculous scroll bars and buttons and so forth, mostly because the DX made customization so easy, and this imposed a sort of psychological tax on the users, often to the point of compromising the user experience.

By contrast, user-first tech emphasizes the experience of the end user or consumer. For example, HTML5/CSS3 is harder to author than Flash, but, as an open standard, offered the end-user choice of platform and graceful degradation on mobile.

That said, user-first tech can often have terrible developer experience (DX), and that is very true of HTML5/CSS3. It's basically coders-only, for certain lightweight values of the word 'code'.

Finally, there is machine-first tech -- apps that prioritize the machine's experience. This family of tools generally pursues performance at the expense of both the developer and the user. Generally one can think of Moore's Law as describing an asymptotic decline in the importance of what I'll haltingly call 'MX', because as machines get more powerful, it's less important to cater to them.

So you can think of the birth of the web as a move away from optimizing for MX towards optimizing some balance of DX or UX, but which of those two other poles picks up the bounty of Moore's Law is up to fashion, social trends, etc.

Finally, it's common for premature market anticipation of MX-shedding to drive clumsy, non-performant solutions that privileged DX or UX (or both) to such a degree that the machines simply don't like to run it much anymore. In other words, people overshoot in their attempts to optimize DX, UX, or both, and in doing so compromise the machine's experience of that code. When this happens, the market tends to lurch back towards MX. I perceive the move to (say) Rust from higher-level languages (Python, etc) as an example of trading off DX and even UX for MX. Arguably, Wayland does this as well, shedding both UX and DX considerations to improve machine-oriented properties such as security.

Going deeper, one could think of MX as being 'hardware-owner-first', as machines are not the sort of things that can have genuine experiences of their own -- however, animism is a useful form of lossy compression here.

They didn't replace affiliate links. They had a feature similar to Firefox Suggest or whatever's in Chrome/Edge nowadays I think. They had a deal with eg. Binance, and if you typed Binance in the address bar, their Binance promo would show up as one of the results.

They had a bug in it where if you typed a valid URL (eg. binance.us) it'd still give the sponsored link as an autocomplete which it shouldn't have. That bug stood for one day, if memory serves, and the feature was turned off by default.
Nitro is how discord makes money today, "creators" don't get a cut from it, instead they or their community pay for discord as a service like every other "creator".
On the surface, it sounds reasonable, indeed.

However, I followed the logical chain of thought of where that approach would lead. And I honestly don't want to live in a world where we reserve liberal arts and other non-STEM degree just for children of the wealthy, while the rest have to settle for "useful degrees". And I am saying that as someone who went to a college where almost everyone was doing STEM (which makes sense, given it was an engineering school).

Yeah, that stuck out to me too. It immediately made me think of that famous quote from Larry Page and Sergey Brin that keeps biting them in the ass:

> "Advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of consumers”

That was from 1998, and obviously it's possible they were wrong, and today's Google (as well as Brave) are right that ads are actually integral to search. But, I don't think so, personally.
> Brave uses Chromium

> Brave is profitable on itself and not dependent on search engines money like Firefox.

Brave is still dependent on Google even more than Firefox, I agree that Mozilla must seeks multiple sources of revenue but if it was easy maintaining your own engine Brave would do it.
I think some of the moves the engine suggests in human games look whacky to human grandmasters.

Hikaru Nakamura is a top GM that does commentary streams — and frequently comments things like “but what do I know about chess?” when responding to AI suggestions. It’ll suggest a weird move that seems to leave a mess on the board while insisting that everything is great.

Did you not read what I wrote? Not sure what point you are making... I don't need to brush my hair, wear clothes, or wash my car either... But those are usually considered "proper" things to do. My first load without rinse aid resulted in spotty dishes. Not too bad, but annoying. By the third, it was worse. By the end of the week, all of the glassware was milky white and you could no longer see through it. You know that feeling you get when you run your finger nails across a chalkboard? Yea, we were getting that feeling by just running your hand across a glass plate.

I ended up buying more rinse aid and then running the milky dishes through a cycle with about a 1/4 cup of coffee machine cleaner (citric acid) thrown in.

Our water comes from a local lake and an underground aquifer surrounded in limestone if you are curious.
Replacement doesn't imply a reuse of a specific location. Taking an ad out your browser and placing a different ad on your desktop is still replacement. Do you really not understand that advertising isn't about space in physical world, but about space in your mind? What brave does is absolutely replacement. They replace a bit of light that was emanating from one part of your device's screen to invade your attention to make some other party money with a bit of light that emanates from a different part of your device's screen to invade your attention to make them money. How in the world is that not "replacement"?
Yes, but this problem exists everywhere all the time in virtually any context, even outside of technology. It's a very general problem that plagues communication. My perspective on the matter is the following:

1. We love to simplify matters down to black & white thinking with absolutist statements.

2. Attention spans are short (and probably getting shorter), so we try very hard to be pithy.

3. General seeming statements are actually narrower than they appear.

4. When taking a statement at its literal absolutist meaning leads you to an absurd conclusion, you're "supposed" to use your own judgment to interpret it imprecisely rather than ridiculously.

"memory safety" fits these criteria pretty well, especially the third point. Clearly, you really can't have a programming language be practical/general-purpose while simultaneously being completely and totally "memory safe." It's just ridiculous given our current predominant operating systems and architectures. The pithiness of "memory safety" relies on you, dear reader, knowing that and interpreting "memory safety" as something more reasonable than that.

> No language can prevent a person from allocating a writable buffer, then reusing it without cleaning it. Do that on a server, and you have step 1 to a security vulnerability.

This is a good example of (4), where you interpret something generally, but it's actually much narrower. When folks say "memory safety," they are not referring to the problem you speak of here. The problem you speak of might be a vulnerability, but it is not, in and of itself, something that would be recognized as memory safety. A memory safety bug could lead to the circumstances you describe, but it is not necessary. (Some people like to claim that other people think memory safety is the only kind of safety that matters, but few people with any credibility actually espouse that view as far as I'm aware. But it's important to call out: if you fixed every single memory safety issue ever, you would not fix every single security or vulnerability issue.)

The important life lesson here is that jargon is abound, and a good skill to pick up is knowing when to recognize it. If we go around interpreting every very literally, it's going to be a bad time.

We could also stubbornly demand that everyone use crystal clear, unambiguous, precise and accurate terms all of the time everywhere so that nobody ever gets confused about anything ever again. But of course, I'm quite certain that is simply not possible.
The first time I read about this, I got a strong feeling of Ellisonian existential dread.
Coinbase the exchange--the thing which involves a website--is a centralized pseudo-banking product where they actually own your money and you pray they still have it when you want access to it later. You use a username and a password to log in to this service which transacts on your behalf, and you talk to their customer support if you are locked out somehow.

Coinbase's wallet app is entirely different and largely unrelated: it is a program that manages a private key on your phone so you can directly access your funds and make transactions on the underlying decentralized infrastructure. If Coinbase goes out of business their wallet app would still function and no one has access to your money except you, using this key.
