Carbon footprint per capita is a poor metric because it incentivizes nations to increase population and suppress quality of life improvements.

If you want to assign blame sure an American might be 10 time more responsible than a Pakistani, a Chinese may be twice as culpable is a French. That doesn't really solve anything though. The problem isn't the amount of CO2 in the air divided by the number of living humans.

Emissions intensity of production IMO is a better one because it promotes efficient industry without exerting the wrong incentives on population or quality of life.
I'm curious I can't find any reference to "unification" in percival's source code [1]. I'd assume you can't have datalog without unification :-)

Interesting, This is great thought. I am uninstalling social apps. Twitter, FB, Insta to start with. I want to see where else I am going to spend time on. Will report back here to this thread to let how it helped. Thanks !!

Tell HN: Stripe is destroying the business model for small businesses
Stripe's application is slowing down, the review process is longer, Stripe's review cycle is more than 15 days, and STRIPE ALTAS seems to close accounts more easily
It takes 38 days to apply for STRIPE ALTAS, and after collecting $3,000, Stripe collects face and passport photos, the account is closed, and the funds are returned to the customer.
Stripe tweets customer support for more than 5 days and the account continues to close.
Using Stripe has become more difficult than it used to be.
Small businesses are more likely to make Stripe feel uncomfortable and more prone to merchant fraud.
Agreed. That the store that he used to go to for the major releases.
If a potential jury member knows about him they'll be excused from the jury. It's part of the selection process, and one reason jury selection is hard when you have high profile cases like this.
The infuriating thing is that this isn't necessary for CLI tooling. The reason this approach is taken is that you need a way to get the token to a local process even if the user is doing authentication in a browser. This can be avoided by having the process listen on localhost, and then have the login flow redirect to localhost (including the token) on successful completion.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work for CLI tools on a remote machine (like say for vscode remote over ssh ). The browser redirect to localhost won’t work because the CLI tool isn’t on localhost.
Don’t buy Apple products. You can safely self-curate on Android.
Judging by the "related searches" and supposed questions that people apparently ask, Google assumes the average user to be an imbecile and generates search results that cater to them most accurately. Unfortunately on the other hand it also seems that individually catering search results poses its own issues. Some folks are concerned that this could be used by bad actors to influence certain people (like targeting specific ads to specific groups of people) which is already commonplace.

I would rather use the most popular password manager that's been audited, and never had a hack (1Password).

Then we have your "less well known" provider. They have probably outsourced their dev work to cheapest Indian firm they could find.

My impression is they want to get that end of the spectrum absolutely nailed down, and then look into ways to relax it safely here and there.
What could possibly go wrong trusting all of your passwords to a single point of failure?
I do fundamentally agree with the logic -- we should be looking at harm. If I had send nude picks as a kid, and nothing came of it, it's probably not an issue. However:

- With growing compromises, anything sent on the internet today is likely to be found and linked back someday.

- We have no idea what risks will happen in 20 years.

- Even today, it can lead to stalky / groomy / etc. things

Those sorts of rare events won't be captured well in metrics. Usually, it's not that 100% of people are harmed, but that 1% suffers extreme harm.

So as much as I agree with the logic, I disagree with the conclusion.

(you're the other way around: your conclusion is right, but your logic is missing, and replaced by outrage)
Just read it looking for that extra info and not seeing it? the blog post and this article seem to have the identical information in them. The blog post is in a series, so for background on the "four days in august" you can scroll down.

it's certainly not acceptable that all they are saying is "certain elements of our customers’ information." very unacceptable, if it's credit card numbers or home addresses, they have to reveal that. the current language makes it look like they want to hide some kind of very bad news which is worse. Also their August post indicated that the developer account that was compromised had no access to customer data, so why exactly was that wrong.

A corollary:

Think about all the places you've ever worked, all the organizations you've been part of, where you know how the sausage is actually made, and how that differs from the way the organization portrays itself.

Now think about all the other organizations in the world, whose internal workings you're not privy to.

Let's say I start an exchange to trade magic beans. The beans are worthless, but lots of people like trading them. In my terms of service, I say I won't use user funds for anything else and won't rehypothecate user beans if posted as collateral. I claim to make money off fees. Then I do both, lose all the money, and people lose billions of dollars---which they realize when they ask for their money back. You may think magic bean trading is dumb. You may think the people trading them are dumb. But what I did would still be a crime, and calling it a crime doesn't necessarily mean you're delusion about beans.

Put differently, it sounds like you think people who put money into FTX are dumb. Fine. But the law still protects dumb people, as it should.
It's funny that you bring up DifferentialEquations.jl specifically, as that might the most advanced differential equations solver in _existence_, not just in Julia.

I think you could say the same thing with Steam. Developers are incentivized to publish on Steam because this is where they can reach the most players, even though they'll have to take a big cut for it.

This is the opposite of how their designed. The chips on cartridges exist solely to make sure you're only buying proprietary cartridges and they cost about 20x the prices of the rest of the materials. The ink is dirt cheap and Costco actually had a service where they'd refill them for you (not sure if they still do since they got sued by some of these companies not too long ago). The plastic might even be more expensive than the ink
For years I’ve wondered how much SBF’s parents knew about FTX’s operations but I think it’s fair to say they’re either (a) completely uninvolved/ignorant of the details of his situation or (b) giving him some really shit legal advice. I suppose it’s possible they’re so high up in their ivory tower they’ve forgotten there are actual consequences behind the hypotheticals they dream up for their students. Judging by his excel workbook “balance sheet” situation though I’m more inclined to believe everyone even tangentially involved has been misled. I doubt anyone knew the full extent of the fuckery aside from SBF.
“Slavery was an improvement” ok, so honestly I find this insanely offensive and uncomfortably in line with some “white savior” arguments racists make, but I don’t want to be rude to you.

I guess all I can say is that I just don’t see how you can be so cruel to others like this.
Articles like this are out of touch with reality. We left our offices nearly three years ago. Do you think we haven’t hired anyone sense then? Do you think we mandated that they live near a building we’d abandoned?

The reality is we’ve hired people from all over the country. How do you propose we go back to the office? What does that even mean in this context?

Can we cut this going back to the office nonsense? We’ve moved on.
I'm sorry... You think Facebook would start a mass campaign to disable the warranty/support contracts of millions of their iPhone users by walking them through a very complicated technical process... To achieve what exactly? Download an app the same person could get using the app store?

The media would have a field day at Facebooks expense. Why would Apple even let them on the app store if they did something so stupid?
Why do you need to ban other people from buying them? You can already just opt to not buy them yourself. Why do you care if others still want to?

But if they are not trying to entice meat-eaters there is no reason to ride the coattails of the original, real and authentic thing. You'd sell it as "seacrunch" or "seamunch" or whatever.
They could do that, but then would need to also immediately require a big [X] next to "the instant you do this you forfeit any and all support for any hardware or software issues on your device".

Apple doesn't want to deal with a million hackers screwing with their devices and clogging up their support system, and also then having to deal with endless reports of terrible customer service because someone paid 1000$ for an iPhone and then Apple won't help them out when they brick it with the latest flashware they downloaded from usenet. Followed by the inevitable complaints that "Apple Customer Care is terrible". Easier just to control the entire ecosystem, and tell folks who don't like it, "cool, cya".
that's such a success story hitting 1M users as a hobby project, let alone from a teenager. I've never done anything close to this, and not for lack of trying...
I've been trying Deezer for a week or so. Other than an app crash once, it has been a good experience so far. It's just a simple music streaming app with a good collection of music. Not tied to a Big Tech company and actually based in France.
> I can't figure out why the media is doing such a terrible job covering this

I've lost hope of Hanlon's Razor at this point. It's painfully transparent how purposeful this has been at the media level, and I've come to believe that there's a very large group of voices who are perfectly fine with what's going on because the fallout "hurt the right people" in their eyes.

i submit bug reports to Chromium all the time and - wait for it - they actually get addressed! check this one i reported back in March: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=130534...

triaged & root-caused quickly, then sat around for a while until what looks like an [MS Edge!] dev picked it up and fixed it 2 days ago (merged 4 hours ago).

IE this is not.

if anything is like IE(6), it's Safari and iOS Safari, where standardized APIs go unimplemented and bugs go unfixed for years with radio silence. and when bugs do get fixed, it requires a full OS update, just like IE.

You can set how often they log you out, and I have a phone...
I think the iron fist is partly about Apple protecting the iPhone’s image. If you allow users to sideload garbage onto their phone, some of their phones will work like crap. When they’re out on the town with friends and their phone’s battery dies after an hour, the perception (shared with those friends / potential future iPhone customers) is that the iPhone has terrible battery life—not that they loaded free apps that mined cryptocurrency in the background.
Well they would if it was the daughter of someone in power. But right now they are too busy trying to convince mentally ill people to commit terrorist acts so they can stop them.
So who is funding this study?
I did love the simplicity of nomad.

And in general, nomad worked pretty well for us but our consul cluster kept mysteriously failing. I think that caused our nomad cluster to fail because it was backed by Consul.

The one complaint I did have about nomad (same as consul) was that the recovery process was manual where you had to manually generate a peers.json.

I was shocked when I saw that. Truly one of the "finding how the sausage is made" moments even though I've managed linux servers for two decades – I always assumed it would use zeroconf/bonjour/multicast DNS (remember cloud auto-join?) or something similarly elegant to auto discover other nodes in the network and just reconnect and rebuild a cluster. I mean what's the point of all this stuff if it can't be used to recover a cluster and just Do The Right Thing™? The shiny new experience is stellar (like sales, or setting up a new cluster), but the flip side (when things go wrong) is a mess. That's why we eventually said "nope!" to all the custom stuff and went with boring, plain vanilla ECS, which is itself too much now that we've started using fly.

Don't ever want to even think about having to hand-write a peers.json file to recover a cluster, boot things up, and pray to the ancient gods that it works.

We don't have time for that nonsense. Please, take my money, Fly/Render/everyone else. Your costs are a margin of error compared to what I had to pay a devops person to build our own stack. (I'm not even exaggerating. It was six figures. DevOps people are worth every penny but they cost many, many pennies.) Ultimately, we never used the infra.

I want to focus on building solutions for my customers and not fiddling with weird server stuff.

and what if your TV or thermostat, with access to your private network, gets compromised? do you have that machine locked down good enough to protect against an inside-the-firewall attack?
Cheap and expensive. Depending what industry you are coming from. Being in the hosting industry, anything >$1/TB seems high.
But the, if the comparison is big cloud (AWS, Azure, GCloud) that charge $70/TB+, sure $10/TB and 2TB included seems cheap.
Isn't availability usually from the service still being accessible in a technical sense? Password lockout policies will also result in people being locked out often until manual review or the use of some (hopefully secure) second factor. With hardware tokens there just needs to be an established - and efficient - process to replace them or allow access on an ad-hoc basis for exceptional cases (a bit iffy perhaps but also possibly necessary given practicalities). There's no dispute that passwords mean you don't have to worry about things like what USB ports your laptop has, but that's mainly because of the fact they're just strings that you type in which is also their entire issue for phishing/hacking etc.

Either way, availability can be compromised by a hack due to passwords being phished and I think I'd prefer dealing with hardware tokens than the fallout of being phished or otherwise suffering credential compromise. That said at this point I probably wouldn't issue hardware tokens en masse until proper processes are in place to manage them (and their loss/breakage/etc) - it's certainly not solved to my satisfaction yet.
After finishing this I have been reading Fabian Sanglard’s books on Wolfenstein and Doom which helped make some of the ideas concrete. I’m not even that into games but just reading about how they had to optimize games for slow hardware is really interesting.
I don't think I really disagree with you but I don't know of any options here where you can do that. Monitoring internet usage destroys trust, same with trying to make it not private with something like "no phone / laptop in your room." This is the age for discovering porn after all. You can't make a web filter for "sketchy guys on IG", and it's the same sort of thing IRL with GPS monitoring or just not letting them go places. Apples new nudity filter thing might be a not too invasive option but that's iMessage only.

Thirteen is about the age where you lose control of what they're doing all the time and there's no way to afford them the necessary independence to actually grow up that they can't do catastrophically stupid things with. Best you can do is prepare them, have a relationship with them so they tell you things and you can smell when the vibes are off, and hope they took some of the bigger lessons to heart.
Well, companies are doing it to avoid a PR disaster. It's a business move. The big players took the hit from the public (fb, amazon, etc...), then we do it and the public can blame it on the current climate. Let's not forget the Feds literally saying businesses have to ramp up firings to slow down inflation on one side and the current government on the other side is trying to tell the public they are creating more jobs.

The cynic in me is telling me this is all planned by big tech and government. Heck, Zuckerberg waited to fire his staff a day after the midterms were done. This is no coincidence.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what blockchain is. You mention its the most important invention economically of the past 500 years and in your other post you said thats because its a replacement for double entry accounting and thats why its so important.

Its not. Blockchain is an immutable ledger only, there's nothing in the original blockchain spec (not Satoshi's spec, Satoshi didn't make blockchain. he kinda stole it, like he didn't cite his sources very well) that mathematically enforces any sort of double entry accounting feature like ledger immutability is mathematically enforced. But blockchain is useful and interesting for other reasons. Lets set that aside since you're clearly talking about crypto, which is also not a replacement for double entry accounting for its own myriad of reasons including but not limited to excessive power consumption, reliance on a consensus of random computers (of which anyone could own 51%+ and effectively have full control over the chain), zero recourse for lost/stolen funds, unpredictable value, poor security features (true), no way to correct errors (without compromising the data structure), and the list does go on.

Even if it was a panacea for the burden of having to have an accounting department (the horror), it can't have the same economic impact as double entry accounting like you claim since double entry accounting literally didn't exist before double entry accounting. Crypto is just automated (until there's problems, and there's always problems) double entry accounting, its literally still double entry accounting and will still even need to be audited by real accountants (ugh, stupid laws, right?) LOL.

This was implied, but thank you for capturing the spirit succinctly.

I've got an old Mac II ci that I picked up at a thrift store for $12 that came with an old version of Photoshop and an ethernet card that I keep around to remind myself of how little we've progressed. For a machine manufactured in 1989 with performance measured in MHz, it may be noticeably slower, but that's not the point. It's that we're doing the same tired twentieth century stuff we were doing 33 years ago, just slightly faster.

XR does seem a path forward, but the so-called giants you mention are selling subsidized prototypes you can't even take outside without a stern warning that you may brick the device. It's been close to a decade since the DK1 came out. You'd think they'd be past the point where legs are a new feature.
There’s a common misconception that ad tracking is all about targeting ads. That’s part of it, but the truth is that tracking conversions is a more important differentiator for advertising platforms. A conversion is where the user clicks on the ad and then makes a purchase. The top digital ad companies (Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon) all charge for conversions. There is no way to charge for conversions without sending data about the user’s behavior off the device (which ads they saw, and which purchases they made).
