Yup. I'm pretty sure the indie games we all know about made good money. Enough to have continued growing a business without copying any AAA games and avoiding getting bought out or aped.

The dev(s) just chose not to go that route. It makes a lot of sense why not. They don't want to betray their audience and they want to keep having fun making games. Success is not necessarily "competing" with the big companies. There's always room for more types of games.
Even if you set the data format to 'currency' it still returns false (in Google Sheets). I realise they probably want consistency but it's weird they don't have an option to use a decimal type.
They can already do this at any time without CBDCs. They just need to pass a law that all payments must he reported to the government. And then they can, at their leisure, arrest anyone who broke the "50% must be spent in your local area" law.

Huh, I would have said that a question mark is nowhere near enough.

Your stance seems to be that this unsourced conspiracy theory is a story worth discussing because, and only because, it is Seymor Hersh making the claim. Then make that clear in the title: "Seymor Hersh claims America took down Nord Stream", or something. It goes against the standard HN practice of stripping out any such attribution from the title, but it's also not standard practice for an article to only be worthy because of who wrote it.

> give teenagers a chance to actually live life

You'd have to do it worldwide, though. Part of the reason my own teenage years were so (relatively) peaceful is because they took place in the late 80's, before globalization. I empathize with my own kids who've been on this treadmill since kindergarten, but it's there because they're competing with kids from countries that have never had childhoods.
It does, but there is a good argument that it was in Russia's strategic interest to blow up the pipeline and blame it on NATO. 'Burning your boats' exists as a catchphrase because it is a real historic strategy to impose force cohesion. In the context of gas supplies, it shuts down internal political dissent about whether the military object outweighs the economic object.

I don't have a firm opinion on who destroyed the pipeline; there are valid strategic arguments for doing so on both sides, and the ambiguity over who did it is the geopolitical equivalent of a smoke bomb.
By default, it starts up exposing the file server on all interfaces, not just localhost, AKA insecure by default.

Such a poor security choice, makes me question the entire project.
I am jaded and probably being a little uncharitable. However, I don't know Russ personally so I have no reason to place a high level of confidence that a Google employee isn't going to make decisions that align more with Google's interests vs privacy interests.

Regardless, there are plenty of ways to upgrade the Go tool chain (snaps, distro packages, fetching latest via curl, etc) that won't result in the changes being immediately visible. Given that, I think you are painting an overly optimistic picture of a world though where everyone that cares about this is going to be immediately aware that opt-out telemetry has been added vs a lot of installs being silently swept up into this by sheer ignorance.

Also, this is going to require me to go and set environment variables in about a dozen environments to disable the collection and while I can pretty easily manage that task via ansible I'm not happy about having to jump through hoops to turn off telemetry for a freaking compiler tool chain.
If that is true shouldn’t there still be explosives installed at the fourth pipeline?

>If there's some other way of justifying that opinion, I'd love to hear it.

If you wanted to hear it, you could just read it as it's been stated repeatedly ITT and it's in the HN Guidelines #1:

>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

One of the unironically hardest things about maintaining a community is Saying No. And I'm not just speaking abstractly here, I'm talking personally. When you have a community of interesting and intelligent people who you've enjoyed discussing things with, it's completely natural to start to want to bring everything there for discussion. But some topics inspire far more substantial discussion than others. Some topics are inherently meaty, in particular when they are about things that we, individually or in our direct organizations, can directly take action on, extent further, or otherwise make use of in our lives/work. That helps ground discussion in reality vs emotion and subjective infinities. Other topics risk being more and more intellectual empty calories, where many words can be written that have no actual use of any kind, pure jawboning and ever more self-referential spirals. This is particularly risky for something like this, which is a level removed from hard reports due to lack of hard proof which in turn naturally results in much of the discussion going one or more levels more meta: rather than even discussing the impacts, however useless it might be, it's discussing the report, the author of the report, their credibility etc.

It's not that it's inherently wrong to have those discussions, but does it need to be here? The answer to a lot of us is no. Even if we want to discuss it very much. Self-discipline (and community enforced discipline, and moderator enforced ultimately) is key to maintaining a place like this, and that includes erring towards not having low quality, highly meta and vacuous discussions with no ability for anyone in the community to do any grounding or contribute anything you couldn't read in a newspaper.

I can take issue with some of the other stuff you wrote, but ultimately it comes down to that. Maintaining good communities often involves picking areas and sticking to them, generalization being death. If this was a forum devoted exclusively to space habitats and cats, someone taking out pipelines would still be very important, but it would be neither space habitats, nor cats. It would be completely reasonable for the community to flag it dead. That's not a judgement on the topic nor discussion of it in general. It's just not space habitats or cats.
> There's something I don't understand: the current system works great. Cash as well as credit cards. So why change that?

Control. If you're of the mindset that there is an upper-class and a lower-class, you're incentivized to create a form of money that makes both permanent. This prevents competition, generational wealth transfer, and guarantees infinite, cheap obedient labor.

The movie Elysium is a great caricature of where this will lead.
FDroid hasn't provided a solution for browser extensions so there's room for another iteration, perhaps to a federated universal app store, possibly with NFTs. Like with Mastodon you could have allowlists/blocklists of servers rather than individual packages. In the mean time I think FDroid is doing a pretty good job being gatekeepers to prevent malware. Keep in mind, this is being blocked on open source grounds, but they use open source to be able to audit the security of packages. They could allow non-open source source available but that would be extra work and why should they give that to non-open source projects?
The trust between YC and Dan regarding HN is probably the whole story about moderation here. Again: people think YC exerts a bunch of influence in how HN is moderated, and I doubt it exerts much influence at all. Dan is running this place the way he'd run it if YC didn't exist.
You lament the decision by FB yet you say out of the hundreds of managers you worked with only two were good. You are saying most managers aren't good and it sounds like FB agrees with you and hence decision. I also think this might be a good decision because I do think managers need to be able to set up programming environment and at least be able to navigate the code. Kinder of like how some retail companies make head office staff spend some time at a real store so that they are aware of operating environment at the coal face.
Oh yeah who wants to deal with those nasty thumbsdown clicks. If you're not willing to deal with rational (and well reasoned) arguments, don't develop in public or allow issues on your repo. You can't go to the "town square" and shout your opinions and call any kind of push back "harassment".

The developer has total right to say he doesn't care but the issue is quite clear and as such the app should be removed as it does not comply with free software. Let the developer start his own app store that allows for such shenanigans.

> However, when Washington starts blowing up critical national infrastructure to advance its narrow geopolitical interests

Well, that is an unsubstantiated opinion not held by the majority. I did not claim nobody with such opinions exist, one just has to look at the AfD.

Oh and it was Russia that stopped sending gas, long before the pipelines were blown up. You also conveniently don't address my last point, which does not fit the "the US was it" so that's understandable on some level.

> they are not protecting Germany from anything

And the reason for that is that we can hide behind Poland, which is protected by NATO.
> can advise everyone not to use Adobe PDF Acrobat Reader and instead open PDF files in Firefox (pdf.js) or Chrome (pdfium).

I agree that Acrobat should be avoided whenever possible but I advise everyone not to use any PDF reader that's found in a browser either because PDF is a minefield and you can expect that the most popular (default) readers will be the most heavily targeted by attackers who will inevitably find security issues. 80% of the time, users are best off downloading PDF files to disk and converting them to text or PNG before opening while resorting to a non-browser/adobe reader for any other cases excepting the ones where you're just forced to use Adobe's software because of some advanced feature.

It won't work for everybody, and it's not as if PDF converters and less common PDF readers are immune from bugs either, but if the vast majority of the time you open a PDF file all you really want is text it can be nice to know your file isn't doing things like making network connections, running JS, playing multimedia or some other bullshit PDF allows for at the same time.
You set the group policy or Microsoft will reenable it on the next update (which is not what the user wants).
Used to fly out of MEM in the co-pilot seat when it was still a hub for NWA. Usually, the small planes they lined up on an alternative runway, but occasionally wind direction / strength required using one of the two (now three) parallel runways.

More than once I remember a 747, 777 or A340 taking off and getting the call "cleared for immediate departure". The pilot I was with routinely would say something like "I'm not even taxing onto the runway for 2 minutes, then we can talk".
those are some potent quotes right there

You are significantly underestimating how much of the day-to-day economy happens in "under the table" cash transactions (doesn't even have to be cash, some unsophisticated casino-chip setup like Venmo or Cashapp works as well) that wouldn't stand up to the kind of scrutiny afforded by a CBDC system.

Maybe this is an off-topic question - but has there been a device/vendor that has successfully shipped the traditional desktop Linux stack (Wayland/Pipewire/dbus/Qt etc.) on a comparably large scale before? Car infotainment, kiosks, etc. absolutely count.

If not, then the Steam deck is a historic achievement.
Because it most likely means that people are sending data without their consent. Perhaps I am naive or just very old, but I wouldn't expect a compiler to "phone home" with information about what I do with it. Certainly not without me expressing consent first.

So if you want that information, find a way to ask the user first. If you can give a good and understandable explanation on how the information is useful, the users might give their consent happily.
The first party Crockford implementation? Not free software.

The specification diagrams or text on json.org? Similarly non free.

The JSON format itself? Arguably not copyrightable. Maybe patentable, had Crockford tried 20 years ago, but that's more an argument for the lunacy of many software patents.

If you're concerned about the implications of the JSON license on JSON implementations, wait until you hear about the ISO8601 spec's license

Is Google’s 20-year search dominance about to end?
This isn't a new issue created by either social media or the internet. It is an innate problem with absolute free speech and has directly led to the US entering multiple wars over the last 125 years. It doesn't matter if the lies are disseminated through newspapers, cable TV, or Twitter. Mass media is just an amplification device. That has been true for centuries. The only new aspect is that the rate of amplification is increasing which leads to the underlying issue becoming even more problematic.

Though in this case no criticism seems detectable. I would not confuse that with sentencing.
An open source project also has to attract contributors. Rust is a competitive advantage in terms of appeal relative to languages such as C, C++, Java, empirically speaking.

I use vector all the time, but that doesn't mean it's without any legacy baggage. It didn't get a clean sheet reboot in "Modern C++"

The argument was "this bug exists in pop_back, therefore Modern C++ is a failure" which is nonsense. This pop_back behavior predates "Modern C++", so it cannot be used as a reflection upon the current trends.

Regarding tensegrity:

> He shamelessly stole ideas from talented students too: Fuller claimed for decades that he invented the principles of “tensegrity,” which was another specialized term he coined to describe structural systems of isolated components under compression held within a matrix of continuous tension. In reality, he observed and copied this idea from the work of then-student Kenneth Snelson, who went on to have a successful career in his own right as a sculptor. Yet Snelson never fully forgave his mentor for claiming authorship of his discovery

The "find out" bit being finding out that you have no economy.

The store is in the centre of Glasgow, by 2030 almost all of that area will be residential. Almost all the manufacturing jobs have gone. Docks have gone. Everything is gone. Govt and retail were the only major employers, retail is now going too (employee density of places outside the city is a fraction of what is was). This is stupid, the pay is fine for what it is, and Apple can and will just close the store.

Btw, my family is from Glasgow, one of my relatives was a Red Clydeside leader, the labour movement today is worlds away from what it was then. All the old trade unionists began moving away in the 60s. Middle-class people moved in seeking the status of a working-class movement, needless confrontation ramped up, and the
leaders lost all their member's jobs.

Glasgow is one of the purest cautionary tales about the dangers of unions (and, to be clear, this was never a question for the early union leaders...unions were supposed to be about collaboration, not confrontation, all the countries in Europe that have collaborative unions have workers in industry, all the ones that had confrontational unions don't...it is that simple).

Yikes—dead wrong way to do it. About the only other way to get 1/10 as much exposure to the "horror show" would be cable news.
I see a very frustrating pattern emerging in which $COMPANY asks its users if it can do something, the users say "no", and $COMPANY storms off under the guise that "the discussion is unproductive".

I am left with the impression that the decision has already been made, and that we are witnessing a PR strategy to make Google appear reasonable. I think that Mr. Cox, with all the respect I hold for him, is playing the part of the "useful idiot" here.

That option is a joke. The real alternative is rust - or any non-corporate platform that isn't gonna pull these kind of stunts.
Or, you take the more extreme step, and obfuscate from the application whether or not permissions have been granted. The reason why people default to granting excess permissions is that many applications simply will refuse to run without them. If instead of "overtly deny permission" there existed the option to "covertly deny permission (by opting to feed plausible random data instead)" and making that the easier to select "deny" then you have the best of both worlds: well-behaved applications start asking for fewer unnecessary permissions, because the data they're gathering is being poisoned, poorly-behaved applications have their harm reduced, and users who want to build programs that actually need high-level permissions can do so.
Reddit uses the actual users as the main filtering mechanism (upvotes/downvotes, spam button, report button) and this most of the time works better for most communities.

I think it's very questionable if giving moderators the power to soft-censor is a good idea, because it will cause moderators to censor posts they probably wouldn't have censored before, and moderator influence is inherently less democratic than user influence. Reddit Enhancement Suite has long implemented various filtering mechanisms for users though so users DO have some capability to censor things themselves if they have the know-how, but it's not like these mechanisms are built into say the official reddit app which is the main way reddit is overwhelmingly used.
Not sure about where you live but where I am, people (especially direct family) were very proud that Pichai and Nadella were CEOs of famous companies, they pushed us to want to be more like them. I don't see why they wouldn't serve minority interests therefore. As to your white shareholders comment, I am not sure why white shareholders would be any different from other shareholders in that they want to all make money. Go to an Indian company's board and you'll see that they act exactly the same way.
