Yes, we will need to evaluate and approve each acquisition but I am not sure if it is even possible to break up Google.

I don't have a solution to the problem but I know this — we can't do the stupidity of breaking alphabet into a bunch of small baby alphabets like what we did with at&t.I think that was complete incompetence, if not corruption.

We can't have a bunch of regional companies. However, we can't do what OP said either, even with your safeguards. Amazon and Microsoft don't care if they get Google cloud for themselves to buy. Either they get to buy it or it dies, they still get its customers.

I think someone else said elsewhere if Microsoft abuses MsEdge, break up Microsoft as well but that's the kicker. That will take time. Microsoft can and will abuse it's position during this time. I don't think it is possible to do a "safe landing" here. An alphabet Google will either be a nothing burger like the AT&T break-up or will be very painful to ordinary people, at least for some time.
Ah, I see what you mean. I'm personally not against this at all, since the Firefox devs need feedback on what's working and what isn't. But I completely understand that some people won't accept this.
Only thing I can't figure out is if this is opt-out or opt-in, because I might have mindlessly clicked yes on opting in during installation.

I don't understand your logic. This is addressing a real problem faced by people in America. I think what you're saying is YC billionaires should be fixing everything about our healthcare system instead?

First, other billionaires have tried and failed[0]. Billionaires don't stand a chance against a trillion dollar industry. Second, did you ever consider that a more realistic approach is to start with easily addressible problems like this one rather than trying to boil the ocean.

You always have to question whether reports like this are even taken seriously and registered at all. Prior to the Cold War they were probably laughed out of the room.

For now, i want to look for remote job as senior frontend developer or lead frontend developer. Please reach me out if we can have a discussion about this. Thank you.
Unknown to the allied until the very end of WWII, nazi scientists had discovered by accident a multitude of nerve agents before and during the war including in 1938 the now very infamous Sarin gas.

Despite having been mass produced and being ready for use during the entire war, it luckily never was. Had it been, it is likely the war would have lasted much longer and would have been much deadlier, it is also likely the first nuclear bomb would have been dropped on Berlin.

When WWII came to an end most of the supply and manufacturing plants were captured by the soviets and put back into production.

People do say that. Usually the critique of (perfect) capitalism is that it (structurally and mathematically) skews towards increasing wealth for winners at the expense of the rest of the population and that this is inevitable.

Then the response of advocates against this situation is to either commit to more structures to prevent that outcome towards diluted (non-perfect) capitalism or other social forms (socialism, etc...)
This would be great, and feels like the direction things will quickly head next. How can I break down larger jobs to tasks, with specific portions going to the public LLMs, and the more sensitive private data tasks going to perhaps a self hosted model, all while being able to monitor accuracy. Love it!

I mean it was always viable. Chrome did an opt-in experiment that no one heard of and than used it as a justification for ceasing its development. As a format it is just a win-win situation. Most of the companies that deals with images spoke for JXL. I think Google tried to push its own format in favour of JXL. So I really don't think it is moot.
There is a GitHub repo with a one-click (curl pipe to bash) installer for Photoshop using wine. Works great. Not going to link it because of questionable legality haha but it's easy to find
For me the Meteors are the very first thing I remember from when a friend showed me the www and I saw it for the first time. The screen was flashing irregularly when he moved the mouse between the browser window and other windows, because this was a Sun workstation and apparently it used a different color palette for the browser.

When we waited for a slow page to load and I remarked how fascinated I was about the smooth Meteor animation my friend replied dryly: "They'd better spend the cycles for loading the page faster." and we laughed about that.

It was a fun time, good memories!
Thanks for the kind words. It's actually a deliberate choce to not have it correct the user. The reason is that it mimics trying to get your point across in real life. Over time, through speaking as much as possible, your grammar starts to improve by osmosis and exposure. The only real evidence I have for this is my own anecdotal experience.
Sure, but it seems a bit short-sighted to assume that SMS brings no benefit. If a customer somehow loses access, SMS is far cheaper and more available for all involved than any other alternative. Most people don't want to carry any dongles (especially not institution-specific ones) and many don't really want to install apps or have phones that will wipe app data for infrequently-used apps.
Ask HN: Why is this site not known by whois?
I've been receiving author promotion spam - and these sites all seemed very like each other so I figured I would check them with a whois check -
So the first site is
https://bookois.com/

I went to whois.domaintools.com and searched
https://whois.domaintools.com/bookois.com
it says

Whois Record Not Available
This domain is not registered.

and asked me if I wanted to buy it?!?

It seems the domain is being served on cloudflare, but how are they doing this and why?

The next site is https://apenbok.com, which is registered but no website it says, although it is dereferenceable with one. Hosted on Hostinger International Limited.

The other ones have more info and so while they do look scammy like the others are probably ok.
Chris, this is such a wonderful idea. Congratz to releasing this. There are so many ways how to improve this, first thing that comes to my mind is to improve readability of the dialogue. I would to have this as a typical messaging app layout, where you see in separate bubbles who said what. Keep up the great work and good luck!
In Europe, E-routes require a clear height of 4 metres, which is the maximum allowance for a regular vehicle. So if you're a trucker, you can be safe in knowing that driving on an E-route, means your vehicle will clear all bridges.

There are definitely examples of countries upgrading their existing roads to become E-routes, which sometimes include raising bridges.
I agree that chromium based browsers are significantly snappier on Linux than Firefox. I also switched to Brave from Firefox and I benchmarked them every once in a while to see if Firefox was improving. On a Mac Firefox seems to perform better, although still slower than Brave.

Firefox isn't unusable on Linux but it should have first class performance and it's a shame it does not.
> TOTP does not require one app for each service

That is, if your vendors all agree on something.

Yes, also limited experience on identity theft. Care to comment on my suspicion?
They hide inflation under the guise of inflation? I don't quite follow.

Certainly the war has caused inflation, in the sense of "things costing more".
Thanks. Yeah, that's a good idea and I'll see what I can do!
I personally don't agree. They did a test with limited users and than complained the audience was limited.
Before my bank supported smartphones, they used a smartcard reader that you'd put your debit card into (a vasco digipass). The earlier model required you to type in a numerical challenge, a later model used a digipass that can scan a QR like code (that uses colors for higher data density).

Another bank's employees used a physical RSA securid TOTP token (which was a bad idea since RSA hung onto the seeds and got hacked).

(TOTP can also be added to feature phones, it's fairly straightforward. There's open source java ME projects.)

Corporate clients with their competitor had been using MSDOS based banking software that came with a hardware token that ingested a challenge as flashes of light from the screen, which was pretty neat! It didn't read a debit card, the seed was just baked in.

Before banks started shipping physical tokens or card readers, they would send you a list of one time codes to approve transactions.

Note that Google also has the option to generate such codes (although you get 6, not 50 at a time), so you can get into your account even if your phone is stolen.

All of those worked in the age before smartphones.

Now, there's also passkey/U2F/FIDO2 based hardware keys you can provision yourself and buy from several vendors, like Yubikey or Token2.

There's plenty of reasons to be salty about the smartphone duopoly and surveillance economy, but for 2FA there's plenty of alternatives. And if you do use a smartphone, you could always use an open source authenticator app.
Nice TI-30X solar calculator in the detached garage. End up using it pretty much every time I'm out there. It's cheap and tough, with a hard shell cover to keep the 50 different kinds of liquids off the keys.

TI-82 at my desk, which I never use because I have multiple other ways to calculate stuff at my desk.

Sharp EL-506D I've had since probably before 1990 in a bed stand with the manual. Small and elegant device. The small calculators around today are all limited adding/multiply/divide, whereas the Sharp is a "scientific" calculator.

The thing I do most basic calculation with, however, is SpeQ Mathematics 3.4, which was developed by Jos de Jong and hasn't been updated since 2010. That is a truly beautiful bit of code.
Wow, I am pretty amazed at how well this works, at least for Spanish. Actually, I haven't really been convinced there were that many use cases for generative chat AI so far, but this convinced me!
> The article is full of shit, the author wants free LTS support for 15 years so he can more easily make money...

The article doesn't say that. It says that proclaimed LTS releases aren't such. The article says that all we have is short-term-releases, it doesn't go into details on how much we should pay for the lengths of support of release at all.

I don't see why is this a problem to want to make more money, the easier the better, imo. The author never claimed that they aren't willing to pay for any services though, so you are putting words in their mouth. But, let's for the moment say they wanted to pay for real LTS releases instead of what we have today -- they need to convince many people to share the brunt of doing so, otherwise it's going to be very expensive for them. Their disappointment comes from the perception that a lot of those who would potentially benefit from sharing this expense with them don't do that by following short-term gains and disregarding long-term losses.

---

From my personal experience: we dig ourselves a hole with creating short release cycles. We ended up in a situation where every new iteration of software we release is of despicable quality and there's no hope of improving the quality because the next release is already on the horizon and most and best resources are dedicated to it. Releasing often is seen as a primary driver of profits. This acts to demotivate and devalue QA teams, who, in the present day are seen more and more as a waste of resource and are even sometimes repurposed to do things unrelated to QA, s.a. release management or even customer support. And, I think, this is what the author talks about when they talk about how agile is a bad thing.

The ultimate claim the author makes is that we don't really need short release cycles. Not the individual users neither the companies no matter how big. We'd benefit from higher quality software released less often. We don't need to pay extra for longer term support as you put it. What you perceive as longer term should be the norm. We chose the wrong driver for companies profits -- selling new versions works, but leaves customers more and more dissatisfied with the results. Perhaps, we should think about a different way to pay for programmers' work? Perhaps instead of version upgrades we need to sell maintenance? -- I don't know, and am not enough in the know of how the profit is made in this instance and where it's possible to take it.
You know this is about DRM because that is explicitly the stated goal of this move.

Apologies for just repeating a previous post I made about this but:

The first goal of the proposal is to

> Allow web servers to evaluate the authenticity of the device and honest representation of the software stack and the traffic from the device.

That is, to give web servers the ability to Digitally restrict (or Manage) a user's Rights to access content on a device and software stack of their choice.

The fact that this is DRM is unquestionable. What you seem to be taking at face value is Google's claim that this DRM will only be used to discriminate against bots and other abusive traffic, whereas everyone else is just pointing out that this technology can very easily be used for evil and that Google has every incentive and ability to do so.

> what solution they would propose

A man on the street stops you, points a gun to your head and instructs you to give him all of your money. How do you propose to solve the man's problem of lack of your money in his hands? Also, you cannot ask him to put down the gun before solving that problem.
Considering this was installed at a tunnel in Australia, I don’t think how liability works in the US is relevant. Plus, these steel bars are pretty standard in the US, albeit they are installed in locations where large vehicles are not going at high speeds.
newspapers get paid by the click
The original rules were any single word was converted to www.<query>.com, I.e., www.google.com unless preceded by a ?, and any string with a white space was a search. YMMV on different browsers.

An interesting story from that chapter of my life came when we were logging. To resolve the dispatch the search string hit our servers. That means we got a log of all search requests. I took a principled stand that we should never log any ip addresses or Netscape cookie trackers with the search requests. Management agreed. Hence we went out of business and got the browser we deserve, Chrome and Edge.
He called it "Peters", after himself, which is off-putting.

Here the resistance decreases in the opposite direction, so it cannot be explained by changes in the concentration of free carriers, like in semiconductors.

In metals, the concentration of free carriers is constant and the resistance decreases towards lower temperatures because the mobility of the free carriers increases, i.e. there is less friction between them and the crystal lattice, because the vibrations of the latter have a smaller amplitude. However this does not lead to any exponential decrease of the resistance.

The weird current dependence on voltage and temperature that can be seen here is most likely caused by an inhomogeneous sample that is composed of many small domains with different electrical properties.

Moreover, the material may be anisotropic, so extra variability is added by the random orientations of the microcrystals that compose the ceramic sample.

I agree but 11labs can be too expensive something transient like a conversation. Maybe give users a choice, those who pay for it will get it. But personally it's not really a deal breaker because 11lab doesn't have Japanese and Mandarin which I'm learning, haha!
I get that, which is exactly why you don't want any one browser having just under 70% marketshare like Chrome. If there are multiple options for people to switch between, then they can switch to another one if their current browser does something they don't agree with.

If there isn't another option, you're stuck. We open ourselves up to horrific effects of browser monopolies like all the security issues that Microsoft didn't give a damn about back when internet explorer had a monopoly. It takes effort to switch to a different browser stack, like moving away from Chromium for example, but in the long term you do not want everyone stuck with only one option, because that will be even more costly.
When did @click and so on become part of HTML?
That sounds more like coil whine, which is “normal” sound (i.e. moving air) from components vibrating rapidly. That’s not what this paper covers (= more like people’s brains “imagining” sound due to RF triggers)

The reason you remember adults not hearing it is because there is a well-documented loss of high-frequency hearing as people age.

(Which has even been “weaponised” before; there were stories some years ago about stores blasting high-frequency noise outside to deter loitering teenagers without affecting desirable adult shoppers)
Yeah I would say "in one round, the collective wealth goes up 5% in expectation" but "for a finite population and starting wealth, the collective wealth will tend to 0 given enough rounds" not almost, but absolutely.
You suspect that only because of the heavy anti-Russian sentiment going around right now (leading to a negative bias without fact checking).

I use PowerShell for simple arithmetic. I can process CSVs, JSON, and XML. It can save temporaries to variables, and has basic sort and filter capabilities.

For anything past the most basic arithmetic, I use Mathematica, which feels like using a 500 ton press to crack a walnut.

Ask HN: Any other programmer lost their mind?
I'm in my thirties. Couple months ago I resigned from my well paying software dev job, moved back in with my parents, and been spending most of my day playing collectible card games and eating through my savings.

I thought I just needed a break from programming, but my total repulsion for the software industry has only grown. I've no idea what's happening and feel like if i get another sw job i'll just quit in a couple days or something.

I've also read about burnout being common after several years, but i don't feel bunt out. I really feel like i'm loosing it tbh, or maybe i should go work on something completely different for awhile.

Sorry for the rant.

Ask HN: Tool to record screen and system audio and mic
This is not rocket science, right?

I need to record a user session by capturing the session video + session audio + my mic.

I've tried recording it in two ways:
- Loom, but it doesn't record system audio (that I know of)
- QuickTime, I was able to capture system audio with BlackHole but the files are humongous (±10gb for 30min).

Furthermore we don't have available the meeting recording on GoogleWorkspace (we are a Discord first company), and we sometimes have these sessions on Discord or other platforms.

Does anybody know of a good tool for this?

Google tried to solve this by having the URL bar show the cryptographic origin of the page being displayed, rather than the URL it was fetched from (the delivery provider).

There was strong pushback here on HN - people cared more about who delivered the page than who wrote it. To me that argument is non-sensical - if you take it to the extreme, the URL bar should always just display 'data from Comcast via 192.168.0.1'
