You are completely leaving out social factors. Are Russian citizens willing to support the invasion no matter the cost? Are they willing to dedicate their lives to it? Or is there a point where they would decide it's just not worth it? Without the support of the populace, the government wouldn't be able to pursue this for long.

I think the big move to formalization of GNU was that no free compilers for C existed. RS rightly saw this as a problem and did what he thought was needed to get a universal free c compiler.
I think the reason that they have made it free is to combat fingerprinting more efficiently. It would be easy to fingerprint if they have a very limited amount of users

I personally didn't find the claims in that reddit thread persuasive, but I understand how others might interpret them differently.
This was almost exactly what I was thinking. I worry about my kids on the walk to school and back (with a parent). I end up having to take a very restrictive and disciplinary tone and am not comfortable with it. 95% of drivers are looking where they are going and not going too fast, so if a child is the road the driver just stops with no issue and we walk round (I live in a rural location and the walk involves roads in a small village with no pavement). Trouble is it only takes one driver gong too fast and not paying attention for something awful to happen. I hate taking this tone, but it's just true - the stakes are high.

That's an unrelated meaning of the word “order”. In this case, we have statements that all get executed, but in a specific order. There's no choosing between anything. What you're referring to is ordering in the mathematical sense, which means defining what is “bigger” in a certain sense than something else.
I'm a fan of Windows, and I went into the article skeptical of it, expecting it to be another rant by an RMS-type privacy nut lining his walls with tin foil to prevent the government from sniffing his wifi packets.

But this is an article about product, and not technology, and I have to say I agree with him. The reason I am a Windows fan boy is because I grew up with the same experience. Though Windows has a reputation for being closed source and predatory, its association with games made it much more of a hacking toy for me growing up than any *nix-based system ever did.

However, the last iteration seems to be moving closer and closer to the tablet-UX world that modern product designers want us to be in on every device. Monetizing our intent is more lucrative than serving pre-existing demand.

I don't understand how people end up banning things like this.

Yes, people are using them, mainly parking them, poorly. But that's always true with new things. Norms have not been established yet. But it's getting better fast.

Bicycles are still a huge problem in many cities but seen as morally good. The fact that people are using scooters so much is clearly an indicator of usefulness.

I don't think this is a problem. It just takes longer. Seeing bans like this always makes me sad.
They are. Mullvad browser seems to be aimed at users that want a hardened Firefox out of the box with additional Mullvad extensions, while Firefox with Mullvad installed manually is all manual setup.
Maybe Mullvad uses some techniques to randomize the unique fingerprint over time in order to not get tracked? So you’re basically identifiable for only a certain period of time until the tracked identity becomes invalidated.
Do we still depend on raw manpower to 1. increase productions of specialized hardware which anyhow depends on specialized technology, and 2. win wars by sending 'infinite' amount of soldiers to the front ?

At the same time, the assumption is that there will be no backlash inside the country if 'infinite' amount of soldiers die ?
As a DuckDuckGo fan as well, I'd have loved to see them/DuckDuckGo develop their browser on the top of Firefox with Mullvad as a partner with deep integrations.
I don't think this is a public company ...
I feel like they went through a similar cycle at some point with the iPhone. They got to a point where they were so good and so expensive it was not necessary at all to upgrade every year. Now it is generally accepted that phones are upgraded on a 2-3 year cycle. The m series macs will be no different. Something that would help would be to roll out new series chips across the entire product line at the same time. Right now there is pent up demand for mac studio, mac pro, etc to get the m2.
Testing on a bunch of sites does nothing at all. Fingerprinting is a lot more than just that

So Sam Altman's OpenAI tech is partly responsible for unleashing a deluge of bots and generated content onto the internet and then he tries to sell you proof that you exist?

I think the plan sucks but it does try to solve a fundamental problem. The internet is rapidly becoming a boring dystopia sewer partly because the cost of unleashing bots and generated content continues to decrease. Proving that people on the internet are real and who they say they are is tough. Part of what makes this effortless IRL is the threat of jail (fake ID? you'd have to lie to the government) and that a human IRL doesn't scale (you can only be in one place and doing one thing at a time).

You cannot have a town square where it is possible to be anonymous.
Doesn't make any difference either?

Okay, say you're on a 10 Mbps connection. That update takes you what, 5 minutes? Yeah, that's an annoyance, but that's time for a coffee or a bathroom break. Most games don't update daily or anywhere close to it, so your download time is still going to be <1% of your play time for most people.

If your hardware/connection is really awful, yeah, maybe downloading the latest DOOM isn't a great experience, but luckily there's no lack of smaller things to play.

Either way, it's completely irrelevant carbon/energy-wise. Your power usage is going to be dominated by a game trying to render 3D graphics at 60 FPS, not by the tiny increase of the power draw of a router during an update download.
I don't though. I don't use Mullvad VPN.

The washing machine is one of the biggest game changer in the world, allowing people to suddenly have, like a noble used to have, the equivalent of a servant to do a tremendously costly chore. Without the slavery part.

I think AI has the same potential: filling administrative work, walking the complexity of an information overloaded world, keeping up to date with laws you can't ignore but have no way to know about, planning logistics that our modern life impose on us...

Suddenly, like the CEO of today, every one will be able to have a secretary.

Yes, that can make a huge different.

It's been baffling to me how such a high % of the world is using this OS for work but the search function is fundamentally not functioning.

I have the same set of files on two machines and its actually faster for me to turn to the mac, search on there to find where the file will be on my windows machine than to watch the windows search churn away for minutes only to not find it.

Not to mention if it does find it there is this obtuse dance you have to do to get it to actually open the containing folder in a way thats navigable because the search results are all fake shortcut links or something that burn the path hierarchy. Rolls my eyes every time I bump into that.

> The eruv encircles much of Manhattan, acting as a symbolic boundary that turns the very public streets of the city into a private space, much like one's own home. This allows people to freely communicate and socialize on the Sabbath—and carry whatever they please—without having to worry about breaking Jewish law.

This article seems to assume a lot of existing knowledge about Jewish "laws".

To provide further information (from a quick bit of research), it appears that Jews cannot transfer items "between domains" on the Sabbath, effectively they can't take an item from a private place to a public place, or another private place.

The rules appear to get very complx and specific[0], but basically it appears to be a way of Jewish people cheating on the rules by choosing to interpret as liberally as possible ("if we put a wire in a square around our houses and the street between and you, me and the government agree it's only one house today, then we've ticked the box").

> Since it's a rental, nobody wears a helmet and almost everybody drives them irresponsibly

In Tel Aviv, all rental scooters come with helmets, and wearing a helmet is actually enforced by the police. Also they are banned from riding on sidewalks. So it seems to be just a regulation/enforcement problem, not intrinsical to scooters themselves or being rental or private.
Something that doesn't get mentioned enough on technical forums like hn is how past a certain point, it's not tech that matters - it's sales, which is why in a larger company salespeople and employees who work well with salespeople tend to do better than engineers. If the company through hard work, technical prowess or plan dumb luck achieves a monopoly on whatever market it sells to before the best engineers leave, rising revenue and prestige at the company can mask the underlying rot and eventual demise for years and years, during which time better sales processes or accounting tricks are more effective than better engineering.
That wishful thinking stood out to me, too. “High-quality Soviet …”
All culture is a lie which persists only in the re-telling. There is no such thing as Italy or America, except when a few million people agree and re-tell the lie that is "Italy" and "America".

If more people realized this, they'd be less rigid to the idea of new - or indeed, old - culture being re-told - or not. The fact is, if you don't use a language - it dies.

Italians are merely trying to protect the lies that they prefer to be re-told..

What the world needs is more people willing to protect cultures which are not their own. There is no one culture more superior to any other - ALL cultures are subject to total loss when the natural fallacies that make up that culture stop being re-told as human truths ..

There are many good reasons to learn from cultures, to understand them, etc.

But cultural preservation is a means and not an end, unlike you seem to be arguing. When made into its own end, Cultural preservation for the sake of cultural preservation simply exists to build barriers and differences between people.

That is literally the purpose when it is its own goal. To build a shared thing among a group that others do not have, so you can divide your group from them.

Cultural preservation only unites people by pitting them against an out group.

I'm honestly unsure how you can argue otherwise.

It has been the cause of many great atrocities precisely because it always creates an out group.

So yes, preserving culture for the sake of preserving culture is a net negative for society.

The rest simply becomes an argument that nobody should ever have change. Good luck with that. Change comes for us all. None of us live long enough that we should get to try to force future generations to abide our way of thinking.

If such a thing as a super intelligence existed, why would it operate on matter in the physical world?

Animals do physical world modifications because we're biological and need shelter etc.

A super intelligence would quickly understand everything there is to know about the physical world and just move on meta-physics. It would just be like an "orb".

Humans are already bored with the physical world and thus much prefer being in virtual spaces, look at everyone just starting at Instagram.

IMO This idea that it's going to eat all the atoms on Earth is part of the anthropomorphize of something mythological. Exactly how we imagine God as a dude with a grey beard.
What of the fact that multi-million dollar tanks are being taken out by $500 drones?
AFAIK there is no single generally accepted definition, what does it mean for a language to be declarative.

Some people believe that pure functional languages are declarative because of the analogy with mathematics — computations are determined purely by the statement structure, not by the ordering of the statements.

Some people (including me) have higher requirements — the declarative programming language should never tell what to do, should only define the problem without providing an algorithm to solve it. According to this definition, pure functional languages are far from declarative as much as the procedural languages. The only pure programming languages here (AFAIK) are some variants of logic programming (Answer Set Programming, Problog, ...), Constraint Programming (MiniZinc, Essence, ...), PDDL, some configuration languages (not all of them), etc. There is nothing wrong in having conditionals/loops in the declarative language, as long as they are used to define the problem, not the algorithm to solve it.
How is retina scan any safer than a password, an RSA key fob, etc? Someone can take a scan of my retina secretly (maybe not this year, but surely in the near future); someone can threaten me to take my retina scan; someone can steal a scan I uploaded somewhere; someone can steal from worldcoin the partial information about my retina that they store.

Am I missing some fundamental reasons why retina scan is better than other authentication techniques?
This post needs a trigger warning lol. I couldn’t count the hours of my life I’ve lost to installing / updating/ fixing Windows. I put Linux on all my computers about 6 years ago and have no regrets.

When cells are large, they cover more people.

As a service becomes more popular more people will sign up.

Since the single cell is shared by more people, the speed will be shared around more, so there is a larger scale for it to degrade and the popularity will ensure this happens.

Terrestrial cellular will have a fibre connected to it, and have a smaller area to cover and coverage is going to have less people, meaning the absolute top degradation will be less.

That's not what they allow for, and copyright being a 'right' it allows you to pass those rights on to others and to retain some for yourself. If not explicitly passed on the right still rests with the original author, plenty of precedent for that.
