>If could practically avoid having my information sent to bad actors they would be incentivized to treat my data with care.

who are the "bad actors" in this case? Equifax? Whoever equifax sold the information to? Whoever equifax got the information from?

>This is an example of where good government regulation can be introduced (giving consumers the option to opt out) rather than what I would consider bad government regulation (trying to specify how the companies should behave directly).

As the parent poster has mentioned, you can already "opt out" by not getting a loan. I agree that it'd be nice if some government regulation allowed to you to have your cake (ie. get loans) and eat it too (not have it reported), but there are two obvious problems:

1. One man's "private information" is another man's free speech. Why should a company be prevented from making true statements about its business dealings with you? You can leave nasty yelp reviews for businesses that have behaved inappropriately. Why shouldn't businesses be able to leave nasty credit reviews for individuals that failed to make payments?

2. On more practical level, opting out might put you in a high risk pool. Part of the enforcement mechanism for repaying loans is that if you don't, your credit gets wrecked and your life becomes harder. If you opted out of credit reporting, that's one enforcement mechanism that a lender wouldn't have, and therefore will adjust accordingly. Going back to the yelp analogy, imagine if yelp allowed businesses to opt out of reviews. Would you want to go to such a business, all else being equal?
> Are they for real some kind of consumer super heroes?

I'm reluctant to call any company a super hero, but, costco does some fairly great stuff aside from this TV thing (which I wasn't even aware of).

Costco are fairly famous for cost optimizing with their vendors, but, in contrast to how others do it they have a much different model from what i've read and heard. They try to help their vendors to optimize their own costs and thereby sell things cheaper by using their extensive operational knowledge to help them both understand their own cost structures and what they can do to reduce their costs. Unlike most other brands they then just pass that savings on to members. Many other companies would chose to use this information gathering to undercut their vendors and eventually supplant them and/or force them out of business (I'm looking at Amazon as the prototypical company here for this bad behaviour) but costco seems to value their relationships more and doesn't really do this (see https://www.trendymatter.com/fast-gallery/these-big-name-bra...).

Anyway, i'm hesitant to canonize any corporation but I do love their food.
At a certain point you have no more benefits from end user variety.

Think about it this way - what benefits would you get if each house had a different standard of electricity delivery? Let's say you have DC 300V, your neighbor AC 220V 50hz... meanwhile the building across the street was all three phase AC 150V 100hz. You wouldn't be able to buy a random TV and be sure that it works.

In the end either ARM or RISC-V will displace Intel x86. And you'll have much more progress, just like the progress in ARM space was much more rapid than x86 space.
Musk may just be wrong but isn’t it also possible that the RPCs need to communicate with an edge node in India. Perhaps government regulation requires them to store/serve some user data from India if serving Indian customers? Or something like that?
Couldn’t you take it a step further and literally just do if(!location.pathname=== mysite) alert()

Neither, this should not be an example/a cautionary tale against government regulation. This is an example of wrong/invalid kind of regulation which other countries should not follow. We, SK, could not fixed this problem because the private sector (companies who pursuit their private interest and against public interest) depending on the wrong/invalid regulation has lobbied and prevented several attempts to fix the regulation. So, this is not a problem of regulation or motivation or even knowledge; this is more of the problem of capitalism.
I feel the same way about our 1961 Sunliner. Except it's a 5 tube AM radio.
After years of remaining steadfast in my boycott, I was quite eager to make my purchase when they announced they'd be on GOG. But it was not to be, as it was not DRM-free and had to be pulled after considerable controversy.[1]

I've not played this new Hitman 2016 reboot, and probably will never be playing it, as it doesn't appear IO Interactive is going to be changing their stance on DRM anytime soon. I've watched some Let's players play it on YouTube and that's reasonably satiated my desire for this new Hitman.

As a fan of Codename 47 through to Blood Money, it's a shame that fans like myself are being tossed to the wayside.

> Your solar panels tend to produce power at times when power is cheap - because there is so much solar power.

But that's not true in how PG&E prices power. The very highest rates start when the day is just past warmest and sunniest (3pm) when there's tons of solar power available to feed into the grid. The cheapest rates start at midnight when solar contribution is obviously zero.
Have a look at the contributors graph, it's pretty self-explanatory: https://github.com/docker/compose/graphs/contributors

Probably the nicest way to handle this is to serve the JS slowly.

It doesn't break their page if you take ten seconds to serve the JS, but it makes their page slow, and nobody likes a slow page. And it's pretty obvious where the slowdown is coming from.

If it's easy, make it fast from your site and slow if the referer doesn't match or isn't present. Or just make it always slow, whatever.

>For me, and my camp, it seems silly to simply write off all the code that conformed to the standards of the time, and doesn't properly bow to the changing fashions of the day.

It is not about fashion, it is about resources and manpower. Supporting Python2 is not free, especially post-EOL, and a huge amount of community effort has gone into supporting it. It is not fair to demand that Debian ensure that vendor-unsupported legacy software continue working indefinitely, especially given the environment it would be running on is a moving target that will only diverge further from what was contemporary with Python2 with each release.

>This isn't like a web site where there is an active party supporting the other end

This is exactly like that. The "active party" in this case just happens to be the Debian community.

If you wish to continue using Python2, either stick to running it on an outdated environment such as Debian Buster that supports it natively (and accept the security consequences of doing so), take on the burden of porting it to modern Debian yourself, or seek out one of the commercial support options that exist for post-EOL Python2. You are not entitled to indefinite free labour.
> The result is that Chinese tech companies are rallying around RISC-V as the future chip architecture.

That’s really the motivation here. I guess google is trying to stay ahead of being replaced in China?

To me, as a westerner, I‘d rather see ARM succeed than RISC-V. Despite ironically being designed in the west, rallying the world around an open instruction set I believe will primarily benefit China, who wants to lead in semiconductors. It gives them the ability to become big players without having to push a new ISA on the world, and if it becomes dominant on mobile, they could see themselves replacing Qualcomm, Intel etc. It is a zero sum game all around.
Haha ok that makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

May I ask, what was it about Google+ that you enjoyed?
I didn’t crack it but found this guy has some very interesting ideas on how to attack procrastination

https://alexvermeer.com/getmotivated/

I think procrastination is ultimately a mental/emotional problem and no amount of “productivity systems” can solve it. Turning inaction into action is where the rubber meets the road and What prohibits it from meeting is the incongruence inside you. One part of you wants something but your mind is fighting you all the time when you try to do it/get it
Less license fees means lower costs. But, more importantly, an open ISA means everyone can design for it, which means more competition which means much lower costs.
This might end up being my gateway to learning and using k8s. Thank you!
You can buy a Librem new (or rather any struggle struggle is because they're sold out, not because they're not being made) and it runs x86, though I don't think that undermines your point by much.

It’s not a dead end at all. It serves a specific purpose - if you need to have a packaged deliverable that consists of several (3-8) containers, and you want your end users to be able to easily deploy that deliverable, there is no better solution that I am aware of over docker-compose.

I’m not sure why OP feels that way, but I’ll just give two examples of great FOSS projects that live on the bleeding edge that I work with every day that offer docker compose deliverables as their #1 way to get going in prod:

1. Supabase: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/dock...

2. Netmaker: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/blob/master/compose/dock...
I am sure Google will catch up. I believe it may work great for general Q&A, but when the question is tricky, I am not sure how it will respond because Bing's index is still not that great and transformer models can hallucinate. I am guessing they may implement something similar to how Perplexity.ai is implemented.

IIRC, there’s three different tiers on this settlement, most fall within Tiers 1 ($50) and 2 ($150) and fewer will get the $250-300.
Because they need physically strong folks able to fight in subzero temperatures while carrying heavy equipment, willing to run into enemy fire to save their friends or family despite extreme danger to themselves, with familiarity and ability to live in harsh outdoor conditions (or even enjoy it), and with a willingness to bayonet, shoot, or explode a stranger to death because of the uniform they are wearing (with a minimum amount of duress).

They also need folks willing to drive tanks into battle (while going by burning hulks of tanks just like theirs on the side of the road), and handle 100lb shells and fire artillery while being shot at by other artillery, and many other things.

They also need people who can handle being yelled at, mentally and physically abused (by modern standards), and given barely the minimum things necessary to survive - sometimes not even that - and still function enough to survive and even do what they are ordered to do, even if it puts them in harms way. Even if it means doing things no one wants to talk about, or even horrible things.

Statistically, that means men, especially young men.

They did (and probably still do) accept women volunteers. They are out there, but there is not a lot. I can't say I blame them. Some of the videos I've seen, some are holding their own. I definitely respect them for that, they are fighting for what is theirs. It's not a place good for anyone. It is a place some can survive better than others.

Because we don't have a global minimum wealth tax.

Countries have shown that they can work together to implement a global minimum corporation tax[0] to prevent the race-to-the-bottom / tragedy-of-the-commons dynamics of corporations playing countries off against each other, so why can't countries now do the same for taxes on the wealth of ultra-millionaires?

I would base it on Elizabeth Warren's plan[1] for a national wealth tax in the US, which would only apply to the top 0.1% of households there.

I suppose this plan does indeed put a lot of faith in Big Tech uniformly deciding to do what's right.

Isn't the site owner in charge of GDPR for the site? Aren't they already non-compliant by hotlinking a resource from someone where there's no agreement about personal data? Wouldn't it still be the site owner's responsibility not to let a 3rd party send even more personal data over?
Solar leases are the problematic ones (where you pay a percent of the energy you generated). It sounds like a good deal, but the rates increase yearly and the compounded cost doesn't end up being worth it. The author was cash-flow positive on a fixed-rate lease immediately and it doesn't come with a contract with a 3rd-party provider, although I guess that depends on how much sunlight you have.

I’m not a AR/VR bull but I think Apple’s position is extremely underestimated.

It’s almost like every Apple product has been developed and refined for the future AR/VR moment. Custom silicon. Fast camera HDR. LiDAR. People/scene/room/boundary detection. AirPod Max fit and finish. Spatial audio. 50 other things…

All in the service of AR/VR.
>"Unlike in the smartphone market, which is dominated by a handful of big companies, low display prices allow more TV makers to enter the market:

I should note here that Apple designed and released their CPUs for mobile phones, tablets and PCs without buying ARM cores. They are still using and paying for the ARM ISA, but they designed their own cores.

And their CPUs are widely held as better than the ones that use Arm cores. (E.g. the Samsung ones).

So there is potential for investment.
The first browser extension I ever installed was the original Adblock for Firebird (maybe even Phoenix, I don't recall exact timing), and to this day an ad blocker is the first extension I install on a new browser profile. These days my preference is uBlock Origin but it's still the most important part of an acceptable browsing experience.

Every time I browse the web on my phone it's just a nightmare of nonsense.

Tampermonkey is an on and off thing for me, sometimes I have it installed and use it every day, other times I go years between needing it.
Not sure but I think OP is conflating docker compose with docker swarm. Compose to me is just a simple way to define a set of containers and their startup parameters.
The difference is that I'm not claiming to speak for HN and censor voices I don't agree with. That's your job, apparently. In any case, glib dismissals of shallow, condescending arguments are the appropriate response. In point of fact, my response wasn't shallow at all, if you think about it. There's a lot to unpack in considering whether someone's opinions are indistinguishable from something chatGPT might output. Either way, such replies, admittedly short and pithy, show others that it's OK to treat those types of argument with disdain and not to waste one's time taking them seriously. In case you didn't notice before you leapt to the rescue, the tone of the parent post was extremely patronizing. If you can't see that it says something about you, not me. So, in this world of "valuable" debate which you advocate, uncivil condescension and mild corrective scolding are A-OK, but singling such things out for ridicule so others aren't fooled by them is not. I see. You're clearly on the side of valuable, deep debate.
There is this idea, orthogonal to yours, that we do not need to replace social media. The cycle of Eternal September after Eternal September has to be broken at some point. We need to build systems for communities that keeps them small, engaged, and contained. We need to offer an alternative.

Cingular was Joint Venture between BellSouth and Southwestern Bell (SBC).

SBC also bought, Pacific Bell, Ameritech and AT&T, when it did, it changes its name to AT&T. Later they bought out BellSouth, and changed its name as well. Cingular grew in phases as they acquired former RBOC's, but once SBC bought out BellSouth, Cingular became AT&T Wireless.

The current corporate entity that calls itself AT&T is formerly SBC.

So proper support is likely coming soonish, I'd guess by the time .NET 8 or 9 comes out.

It isn't just mutation rate but generation time as well, even with the same mutation rate a virus that replicates several times a day would evolve faster. But there's certainly scope for us to artificially select for traits in virovorous organisms for our own purposes, we commonly do for crop plants to provide viral resistance or tolerance and viruses don't overcome them too quickly. Traditional methods have included x-ray mutagenesis where we crudely induce mutations in a lot of plants and see if any are useful afterward.
I wonder what the efficiency is at higher temperature differences.

For example, I would like a water-sourced aircon which cooled a radiant or chiller circulating system on the cold side, while heating incoming water for hot water on the hot side (plus an 'overflow' cooling ground loop if necessary). Maybe this isn't beyond the ability of current systems, but I think having a fairly large gap of 60C hot/5-15C cold is inefficient currently, and maybe a reason you don't see this obvious setup too often.
