I just don't buy this as an excuse for google.

The majority of applications deployed to android are targeting android's bytecode. They aren't natively compiled applications.

The reason C++ presents insurmountable security problems is it's low level nature and the fact that once you have a native binary, you're done.

But a bytecode for a language with memory safety? How would it be possible to not backport security fixes. The very nature of running such code is one where you are constantly recompiling the bytecode.

Just to paint how absurd this position is for google. The JVM can still, today, execute and use classes targeting Java 1.0 (released in 1996).

This isn't a security issue, this is a "google doesn't want to support the platform" issue.

I'm more amenable to google clamping down on artifacts containing natively compiled code. However, a blanked "Your app was built targeting an old version of android, we won't support that anymore" is just ridiculous. Seems like a way for google to prune old apps from the store more than anything else.

Especially since a policy like this is by it's nature one that shifts a large maintenance burden on android developers. After all, if you want the widest support for your application, you target the oldest version of android possible. Very few people target the latest version of android for fear it will lock out too many of their customers.

If google was serious about security and making the latest android tech widely accessible, then they'd work towards decoupling the android runtime from the operating system version. There's no reason ART and the Dalvik runtime couldn't be distributed via google play like the rest of the android ecosystem. Removing the silly "you need android 17 to do this... opps your hardware manufacture isn't updating their hardware drivers."

But then, that would cut into new device sales and we can't have that.
Yes but at the same time, the people have paid for the wine - so the government is saying “you can’t have this wine you paid for, you have to buy more, even though you’re buying less wine”. The operation might stimulate an interest in wine and drinking, causing an increase in wine sales afterwards.
I don't think most people necessarily disagree with this:

(1) The people who think that the market can be beat don't think most people can do it. They think most people can't but that they're special and can.

Think most people agree with (2) and (4) as well. They just don't like the implications re: society and God that come with it. To the extent they get rejected it's to preserve the viability of the notions they hold.

They admit (5) is something most people agree with.

(3) and (6) they whittle down their extreme position to what most people agree with

(7) is the closest to delivering what the title claims. But ultimately "better" is subjective and while I largely agree with the point it's not exactly an objective truth.
If you were anonymous your mom wouldn't be arrested and no light would come to the situation. It would have been a forgotten comment/post.
And in which order would orders be executed when they come in and get queued? A delay wouldn't fix anything because the queue would still be FIFO. The only way to remove HTF would be removing the trading session, and instead only offering the market auction.

Btw, a "tick" in trading is the minimum up/down movement of an asset (e.g. 0.25 points on NQ, or 0.01 on TSLA).
I would guess he’s referring to a shared wifi network that connects to the internet through a low bandwidth link. That’s pretty common in small villages where I live.

1.87MB is definitely not small over a bad 2G link that you’re sharing with other people.
It's really just argument-bait, no? I didn't really see a consistent point, just "disagree with me".
> Maybe I am not smart enough for this, but can someone define "General Intelligence" for me?

I think about this a lot and frankly don't have a good answer, but my current definition is something like "the speed and the depth at which someone can synthesize and comprehend new ideas."

It's by no means perfect, but when I observe people around me that just "seem smart" to me, the above statement is generally true.

Doesn't Advanced Search have the same problems? Ultimately, every input on an advanced search page can be a filter. The tagging issue, while incredibly valid, doesn't seem to be an inherent part of either approach.
Thanks for posting, I think this is a great point. Web tech has advanced to the point that a large swath of apps can be implemented as PWAs with no loss of experience (though last I checked iOS was still holding things back).

This isn't true for all apps, but with the notable exception of games, I'd say it applies to most: banking/finance apps, social media apps, travel/airline/booking apps, etc.
Would the screens update fast enough to make typing not seem awkward?
Can someone comment on #5? I'm a total layman, so this may just be my ignorance, but isn't it refuting a strawman? It seems to be claiming that reducing intake of the same substance reduces weight gain, but I've never heard anyone claim otherwise. Rather, the questions seems to concern whether (a) calories from different foods are equivalent for weight gain/loss purposes, and (b) whether different people eating the same amount of the same food would absorb the same calories. For example, I can imagine it being the case that if I cut my intake by 10%, I will gain 10% less weight, but another person would gain only 2% less weight. It might even depend on how much we are currently consuming, meaning some people could have a much harder time than others. He doesn't seem to even address these at all, let alone refute them?
Moreso these aren't relevant to denial of the application because it wasn't publicly available then.

So I need to have as many apps as the number of websites I visit in a month? Hacker news, Reddit, NY Times, other news sites, BoingBoing, my kids' school, each restaurant, each airline I might ever book, Craigslist, etc etc etc?

That's ridiculous. Browsers exist for a reason.
The headline of the article is "Remote work is here to stay," and I'm ecstatic about that, because my employer is one of those that will probably never give up their real estate footprint. I get the flexibility to work from home if I want and the option to come into an office that is cleaned and maintained by someone else. I can easily afford where I live, and it's in near other non-work things that I enjoy.

I don't work in the finance department. The company stock keeps going up and I'm enjoying my job. If either of those stops being true, I'll re-evaluate.
Web apps are the barrier? That are accessible to anyone with a browser?

Or gate-kept app stores?
Why would you choose then to have two completely different ways of managing data? It’s insanity. It’s like saying “you can totally use kubernetes to deploy your app and then later switch to swarm and support both!” (And even that analogy doesn’t capture the ridiculousness of doing this, as in that case you’re mostly changing higher level glue code, whereas with RSC your actual data management code would be totally different).

Yea, technically you could, but why choose something far more complex that actually actively makes your app like experience worse?

Apps want to handle data local-first, offline-first, with optimistic mutations, cached data between screens, instant animations with interactions between screens, etc. The ideal data model for this is something like firebase, parse, graphql, tinybase, etc.

So now some bozo on your team bought into the hype and blindly wants to shove RSC into it and you’ve completely ruined the elegance of your stack. Instead of having a single codebase with a single abstraction for data fetching that’s clearly better than server-first, you now have two abstractions, and the server based one ruins all the things that make apps better than sites.

It also doesn’t make anything faster for web. You can avoid shipping some JS without RSC, the React team just decided for some reason to couple avoiding sending parts of the tree with a whole new data fetching model, a complete self-own and big mistake. It’s no wonder Vercel the server selling company loves them.
Hello everyone!

....you need to have some form of presence in social media. I hate to tweet. Don't know how to tweet. Don't have an account on Facebook or Instagram. I wanted to have some sort of creative outlet and presence online. So I tried my hands on writing a newsletter. The promise to myself was to publish quality work, everyday without fail and not worry about followers or growth.

Its been 132 days today and I figured to share the learning. First, some numbers on the newsletter.

Subs: 1K+

Platform: Substack and private

Open Rate: 44.39%

Visitors last 30 days: 13000

The biggest learning for me has been that you really need to like what you are doing. Otherwise you will stop. Publishing daily is not very easy. You dont want to spam. I have been writing on vacations, in the car, in the bathroom and on one occasion, a wedding. You need to keep promises to yourself. Many of my initial subs asked me on why I publish daily and I should send less. I didnt agree. I would rather loose subs then publish weekly. This was like a challenge to myself. I wanted to see if I could do this. This has worked for me and I am very happy. If your content is of quality and provides value to people then you will grow.

The second learning is consistency. I have followed a lot of creators on their journey on various platforms like youtube, twitter, hackernews, producthunt , beehiiv , substack etc etc and the most important factor on growth on any such creator platform is consistency. Sadly consistency overshadows quality ( atleast in the beginning ) . So choose something you can be consistent on.

I will continue to share learning on every milestone. The goal is going paid on my 365th issue. I wish you all the best. Let me know if you need any help or advice when it comes to starting up on a creator platform.

P.S my newsletter www.kuration.email . Subscribe if you like it or try reading an issue. Its free.

Cheers.
You are either being dishonest or you're in for a major disappointment. There's a lot more involved in that "opportunity" than a mechanism for low cost feedback. One's material circumstances predominates their ability to take advantage of such mechanisms, hence why strictly increasing school budgets or teacher quality has never succeeded in significantly improving overall outcomes for children living in poverty. I suppose maybe you have to experience it to grasp the extent to which the havoc and insecurity that living in poverty in brutally individualized Western countries ensures, but it's been shown over and over again that these shortcuts simply don't work. You have to address the poverty itself.

Yes, but ultimately it's still a "statistically likely" answer and not the "right" one. Often the two overlap and maybe one day they'll make it an overlapping venn diagram. But that day is not today.
> If you want something distinctive it's hard to avoid commercial fonts.

I get what you mean -- Lobster is everywhere in the summer, and it is cute but now noticeably cheap.

But again I tend towards thinking that this is an over-egged pudding, because truly distinctive commercial fonts are as likely to have negative associations, surely? Unless you're buying something that nobody else uses, and that has the same support issues as these blogs try to scare people with.

If you want something truly distinctive, you can pay for someone to make a font suite for you, and you can consider your own needs.

The BBC have for example been transitioning their sites for years over to their "Reith" font family, which has enhanced readability and rather fewer confusable pairs. ITV (the original and largest commercial TV channel in the UK) has their own typeface, "Reem", which is rather nice work (classier than most of their TV content).

A pragmatic approach for many producers would be to pick a well-considered open-licensed sans or serif face and get a font designer to produce something distinctive (that need not be a truly complete face) to pair with it for captions, logotype, alternates etc.
I don't think this would really get rid of HFT. You'd still have price discovery and a fight to reduce latency happening on some HFT time scale before each tick.

Perfectly valid file names in your case can be quite poor choice of names in the context of generating static site. And even if the code could be perfectly runnable, I expect them to be pseudo-code here to illustrate a point, not to ask people to run it.

You should absolutely be using `is` where appropriate. `x is None` is almost always preferable to `x == None`. If you're checking for object identity, use `is`. If equality, use `==`. They're different use cases.
Yes. This looks like marketing chaff from someone trying to sell books.
Markets are efficient in the sense that you can't personally make money by trading stocks, not in the sense that the economy is optimal for society as a whole. Pollution is the classic example of a negative externality that harms society by offloading part of the cost of individual behavior to others. But you can't personally make money by exploiting the societal inefficiency of pollution. (In game theory terms, not every Nash equilibrium is a Pareto optimum.)
That polling is conducted by US organizations. I have quite a bit of family left in Bangladesh, and my dad is very political (he was a student activist during independence). I don’t think I know anybody who supports the BNP, including folks who are MAGA when it comes to American politics. But I come from Dhaka so maybe I live in a bubble, who knows.

It can be faster when using a specially-built adapter like that, but not with standard Lightning cables as they don’t have enough wires. Apple would have had to create a “fast data Lightning cable” standard and have different tiers of cables.

That would be a messy enough solution that they might as well have just switched to USB-C instead. Which they have done.

> In his Facebook post, Rahman, 30, questioned the 2013 trial and sentencing of Islamic leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee and the disappearance of a key witness for his defense. Sayedee was charged with rape, murder and the persecution of Hindus during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.

I’m NOT justifying anything, but the story seems an opinion piece, or rather one side, purely based on the guys version. We don’t know why the mom was arrested.

Son seems like an Islamist or at least someone who sympathizes with them (see above). So, it is possible that his mother was involved in the protests or at least was arrested for reasons other than simply the son’s post.
With the “new”/32-bit-code-in-64-bit-process Wow64, the Unix process and all Unix code/shared libraries are 64-bit. But (most of) the Windows code is 32-bit, and calls through thunks to Unix code (either Nt* syscalls or into Unix libs).

I don’t think there’s much of a performance effect, if anything it should be faster since all the Unix code running is 64-bit (and x86_64 has more registers, newer ISA extensions). You also don’t have to worry about Unix libraries eating up precious 32-bit address space.

The only current downside is OpenGL/Vulkan calls that return (64-bit) pointers to memory, those buffers need to be copied to 32-bit before being returned to the application. A Vulkan extension is in the works for that.
We need a better kind of rent control like LVT (which doesn't control rent, but disincentivizes parasitic landlords) and a better kind of public housing (like Singapore's HDB, which is self supporting).

The US does both of these really poorly and then acts surprised when they don't work.
>Poland's national transportation agency has stated its intention to upgrade Poland's railway systems by 2025 to use almost exclusively GSM cellular radios, which do have encryption and authentication.

I feel like most people agree with these opinions. I personally happen to disagree with at least 3 and 4. I either agree or am agnostic and/or ambivalent about the others.
>Don't try to build a house out of this argument, because the wolves are going to blow it away

The core of my argument is that Google isn't stupid enough to risk their search monopoly just to prevent a browser monopoly, and you haven't even addressed that.

>If the top search engine spot in Firefox would be so valuable, than there would be real bidding wars.

There is a real bidding war, that's where the price Google pays comes from. The reason they don't get more is as you say, virtually no one uses Firefox.

>Also, Yahoo offered more when both Firefox and Yahoo still mattered

Really? In 2015 both Firefox and Yahoo probably had double their current user base, but that would still make them fairly insignificant players. Yahoo search had already been powered by Bing for years.

>Do you know why Google spends more money on Safari?

Because Safari has at least ten times more users than Firefox.

I don't know why you think there needs to be more to this than "a person's default search engine is a valuable commodity that Google will pay even their competitors for."
It looks like, as the crow flies distance between Chicago and Frankfurt, would take a pulse around 23ms to arrive, at the speed of light. It looks like for a LEO satellite, the round trip time, is around 40ms.

They mention it uses the ionosphere, so curious exactly how long it takes the short-wave pulse to arrive.

I am saying it because I know it to be true. Someone later asked why LCD factories would invest in cleaner rooms than CPU fabs, and I explained the logic.

I think you're expecting some sort of first-principles argument as to why that ought to be true (or worse, asking someone to waste a bunch of time digging up a public citation on the details of factory design), which you're not going to get handed to you on a silver platter. To put it bluntly, if you want to think about it from first principles, go for it, it's not that hard. If you want a source for something covered under NDAs, you can go do the work yourself.
> This is a government that's been jailing people without trial for their Facebook posts.

In this specific case, the woman was likely arrested because of her son's post, which is obviously worse.

But the rest is common even in so-called "liberal democracies": folks are jailed after arrest for months or years before trial, and folks are arrested and jailed for "hate speech" and "causing offense" via online posts -- or the government just creates a pretext for arrest, but it was really because of the person's legal speech.

So, yes, Bangladesh is worse, but the Good Guys™ are increasingly authoritarian. The gap isn't as large as most folks think.
This is part of the genre of straw man clickbait. It works because people are so trapped in their filter bubbles they have no idea what the opposite side actually thinks anymore. "Republicans think housecats are aliens - here's why I disagree," no they don't.
> If a weak Android phone is only able to decode 50Mb/s of TLS traffic

That's a lower, not an upper bound.

An RPi 4 can encrypt/decrypt AES-256-GCM at more than 300 Mbit/s, according to my rough measurements. That's per core, of which it has four.

RSA can be much more expensive, but that's besides the point – the author was claiming that AES-NI makes a meaningful difference here, which I'd really doubt even in the case of TLS. (As mentioned above, it can't help at all for Wireguard.)
As others pointed out, the article was talking about it as a CPU processing constraint, not a bandwidth constraint. In that context, it's not much. I do agree that it seems like an excessively large amount of metadata to be downloading just to play one video.
This isn't even a title though. It'a a comment by OP. I can't even find the source for the claim that "one company basically owns every font." The title is "Where do fonts come from? This one business, mostly" but it does not make clear who actually owns the fonts on myfonts.com. I suspect that the creator retains the copyright, but the article does not say so. From the monotype website[0] it seems I'm correct. So not only is the title editorialized, it is wrong or at least misleading.

Tangential to the content of the page: I really enjoyed how many MPW utilities generated output, including error messages, in the form of commands. Your terminal was an editor buffer, so you could cursor up (or click) on the appropriate line then press something like cmd-enter to pull up the file in question (among other things).
This looks promising. I like the breadth of customization options.

I was confused at first because clicking 'Play game' took me to a screen that never loaded a set of cards. But then I realised you must click 'New game' first, before 'Play game'.
What seems to happen is the company will offer a "new" product that differs enough to justify demanding a whole new subscription
