>Nitpick: there are 2-3B Linux devices out there are 64bit ARM.

The context of this thread was about ARM laptop devices, not generic ARM widgets. Please use the strongest interpretation of an argument when responding, not the weaker one for the sake of nitpicks, as per HN rules:

>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
>Just because someone does not know how to do something does not mean it is difficult. It just means they did not try to learn how to do it. This is very common comment on HN. It's quite silly.

Honestly, whats even more common and more silly are these kinds of comments:

"blah blah blah its easy, i did it blah blah i don't understand the problem"

Ever consider that other people are somehow different than you? Have different strengths, weaknesses and abilities? Have different needs from software? It's like, why do we even make software, you could just learn binary duh.
I am sorry if this is not the place to discuss it and will remove my comment if needed, but seeing websites "highly recommending" the use of Chrome seems like bad taste nowadays, especially with what's going on with WEI.

I understand it’s a politics motivated move but regarding the effectivity and climate impact, I argue money spending on planting trees in many places in the world will be a better spend. And significantly cheaper. A tree will absorb from 210 to 300 kg CO2 in 10 years. For 315000 tons, one will need 1.5 millions living trees. Spending 50-100$ per tree (a reasonable cost for a developing country), the total cost would be 75-150 millions dollars only; much cheaper than the 200 millions estimate from the article. And the environment impact will be much bigger, ways beyond capturing CO2 alone (anti-desertification, reducing land-slide, keeping the soil productive for generations and so social coherence and even helping maintain peace etc…)

> Thomas Tymoczko has pointed out that there is nothing special about eight "buffalos";[2] any sentence consisting solely of the word "buffalo" repeated any number of times is grammatically correct.

My favorite part of this. Repeated 10 times, for instance, could mean "NY bison NY bison bully bully bison NY bison bully." (The New York bison who are bullied by other NY bison, well they themselves bully some bison whom other NY bison bully.) Any number of times unfurls out of, like, kind of a context-free grammar replacement scheme from a base case:

"bully bison" -> base case
"* bison *" -> "* bison bison bully *"
"* bison *" -> "* NY bison *"
honestly, i think that's a different matter than spelling. using case is not really something i do, by choice.

my thoughts on spelling are that when someone is making an argument, their ability to use a word correctly is a necessary part of conveying their ideas clearly. and spelling a word correctly is a necessary part of using a word, since the spelling evokes the entire history of the word itself: the language and context it came from, the people, time and place that word originated.

i truly am interested in hearing your input on why you think it's important to use casing. change my mind
it seems to me that "those seeking to invest in or expand their power generating capabilities" falls into the category of "power companies".

I get a couple of friend requests a month, mostly from very attractive young women. I get a couple of fake requests from people pretending to be friends or family a week.
This is an old strategy, and one of the reasons I don't accept random friend requests.

It isn't just the NYPD that does this, it's advertisers, data mining companies, financial institutions, employers, nation-states, ex's, stalkers, etc.

It's cheap and easy to do, so why wouldn't organizations mine that data that have the resources to do so?
>I'm a bit puzzled. This seems like it's trying to push for a narrative (communal planning) when the issue here is that there is a lack of evidence of a centralized one. I'm not sure how lack of proof of that will imply the other.

Perhaps because of the law of excluded middle. It's either communal or centralized...

In the academic context, it seems to be using an archaeological example to push back against the theory of 'hydraulic despotism' i.e. that an empire could arise by controlling access to water, and evidence of that would be that the empire had complete control of the water system:

> "Among the prominent scholarly advancements on water and society, the hydraulic origins of state and coercive power proposed and developed by Wittfogel and some other scholars have come under rigorous scrutiny in recent studies in East Asia and beyond..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_empire

This has some present-day relevance, as there's an ongoing battle over privatization schemes for water systems which would tend to place control of water in the hands of the ruling oligarch class, from Enron's Azurix c.2000 up to present-day efforts related to how to rebuild America's aging water infrastructure e.g.

https://www.bondbuyer.com/news/presidential-council-advises-...

Note that this study seems to address flood control more than anything else; hydraulic despotism might have been more of a feature of dry land irrigation-based civilizations.
We’re in agreement on the relative privacy, too. My point was just to challenge this “protection” / “prevention” framing. If somebody regularly mugs you then announces they’re going to start taking half as much when they mug you, and that only in response to people increasingly fighting back, framing that as “mugging protection” or “mugging prevention” is not just inaccurate, but pushes an assumption that this person is actually helping us and that demands of no mugging at all are unreasonable.
It's complicated. This is a fairly good read. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/9/5/20849020/alaska-...

Some takeaways:

- It's a fairly modest payout

- The payout is very dependent on oil revenues in a given year. (Alaska doesn't have income tax or sales tax revenue sources.)

- It probably does some good in a state with a large rural population and high unemployment

- It influences politics

There are pros and cons. Something like Tauri but with Servo would be independent from the system's webview but the binary would be heavyweight.

Edit: A compromise would be a post-install step where some minimal code downloads something like libservo.so (for Linux) for all Servo-based apps. I am not sure about that.
AFAIK all iMessage attachments (since iOS 14) are quarantined via BlastDoor, any such full system takeover must include at least two escapes: one from BlastDoor, and another from the application sandbox. They also need to cope with ASLR. It's pretty heavy duty even in the most basic default configuration.

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-look-at-ime...

Upon re-reading this, it seems like crashes in BlastDoor are reported to Apple in real-time. I think this qualifies as "clientside scanning", tbh.
> Do people randomly accept these requests knowing nothing about the other person than what is on their profile?

Yes, most people don't have a million friends on social media and will take what they can get, and the age-old honeypot tactic will never not work. If an attractive person shows interest in someone, they'll probably take it.

I have a different definition of healthy capitalism, a system that enables people to fulfill their needs/wants while maximizing collective happiness. Wantonly consuming electricity for the purpose of price discovery amidst the back drop of global warming may not be (completely) insane, but it does appear to be a textbook externality, and it’s hardly a slam dunk for capitalism.
Yeah I get that, it’s not a single Voyager, it’s millions of them sent out radially in random directions and random speeds and one or two of them just happen to thread the needle and go on the Grand Tour.

Great choice of song! If you ever have access to a piano, I highly recommended trying to fumble your way through Beethoven's moonlight sonata, even if you don't know how to play piano.

Not quite sure how to put it into words, but it's absolutely exhilarating hearing your own fingers produce these huge sounds and intense chord progressions. Every time I managed to find the right chord I'd get such a rush. "Oh no he didn't.. he went _there_!?"

I think the original poster made an attribution error: iMessage gets attacked because it’s popular. If it didn’t allow you to receive rich messages from anyone, people would switch to other apps which do and there’s a long history of those being exploitable, too. What makes iMessage special is that you can assume an iPhone user has it enabled without having to check whether they use WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, etc.

Dropping Scrum and following your own Agile journey
My experience with 1440p monitors on linux is terrible, and I'm being generous.

Starting with the obvious, dpi detection is mostly non-existing and it seems the default text subhinting configurations aren't actually good for high dpi monitors - so you either get shitty fonts and graphics with good screen real estate or FHD experience with acceptable quality. And then you have to choose - do you want color management or different dpi settings per monitor? Because you can't have both - Wayland doesn't seem to have proper color management yet, and X/Xorg doesn't have different scaling settings per monitor.

Did I mention Wayland supports different dpi settings per monitor? Well sometimes it gets confused, and doesn't work well. Getting my kubuntu (I know, running kde doesn't help) to work with both my FHD and QHD monitor in an acceptable dpi setting took several hours, and forced me to switch from XOrg to wayland. Now instead of a robust desktop, I have a machine that needs to be rebooted every week because it starts forgetting to update screen regions - imagine a youtube video playing, but you only see the first frame.
There were certainly some bare-bones companies earlier in my career, but there were also some - Thinking Machines comes readily to mind - that were pretty famous for pampering employees like this. Also, even at the bare-bones companies, people got offices or at least cubes. Of twelve employers in my 30-year career, only two had open offices and less than half of the rest involved sharing with one other. In 2000 I was in the middle of a four-year stint alone in an office with walls, which seems almost unheard-of now. It wasn't until I started WFH full time (2014 I think) that I was able to recapture that experience.
I do not see how you are getting 1000 pages; the pdf is about 400 pages with copious amounts of sparse code blocks, and the introductory stuff (The chapters Getting to know Lean and Hello World) run about 86 pages. Certainly not "Lean in 5 minutes" for sure, but not a spellbook either.

In any case, Lean is a proof formalization and verification language doubling as a general purpose programming language still in its research phase. If you are interested in how this sounds, you can check it out. If not, there is no need.
Way to ad hominem, but you're right, I'm not a domain expert. Just a web user who refuses to be tracked and manipulated by advertising, and highly skeptical that any of these changes are done to benefit the user.

> there is nothing to match a fingerprint to, so fingerprinting is useless

Huh? A fingerprint doesn't need to match _to_ anything. It just needs to be consistent across browsing sessions for a profile of visited sites and interests to be built.

> Additionally fingerprinting is not a tactic that advertisers want to use

Really? Citation needed. All advertisers want their ads to be highly targeted to a consumer who is most likely to make a purchase. The reason web advertising is much more appealing than advertising in traditional media is precisely because it allows microtargetting on a level not possible via traditional means. Advertisers are always chasing a higher conversion rate, and microtargetting is proven to yield better results than showing ads to a large and generic cohort of consumers. Advertisers aren't happy about the Topics API, and many will choose the technology that allows them to continue to target ads more accurately. Fingerprinting is so far the most foolproof method of doing this, since it avoids pesky cookie blockers, and is difficult to detect.

> We all want a technology that is truly privacy focused for users, but still enables functionality that is critical to advertising like brand safety, frequency caps, and some semblance of targeting

I call BS on the first part. Ad targetting goes directly against user privacy. There's no reconciliation of the two. Advertisers can go back to buying ad space in context-relevant places (e.g. show fishing ads on fishing-related sites), but none of them want to lose a _substantial_ part of their revenue by not taking advantage of user tracking.

How you can be so defensive about this is beyond me, and leads me to believe you work in the ad industry.
What do you do if websites are "best viewed in Chrome"?

Embrace: Embrace the open web, create an excellent product and aggressively promote it until you take over the market

Extend: Chrome experiments and advanced features that improve the user experience and developer experience through Chrome only API and Google services. Even provide these services to everyone who wants to use them free or charge so that the user expectations are elevated to that point and web businesses depend on these by building their products around them. Maybe make developers depend on this "topics" feature even.

Exterminate: Cut off or degrade the free services to 3rd party browsers, remove or tame extensions that harm your business and recoup the costs of the free services. Since you no longer have viable competition, reduce the development of Chrome any further, optimize only for profit. Developers who depend on you ad tech can choose to refuse serving users using another browser or opt out of Google verification or account services? The users will stay like they sat with IE.

Reading someone else's philosophy is often a chore. Often people just want the best answer, or the truth.

When I deploy a software system, can I say that it will work? Or can I say that it is working right now?

I can't write software that will work a year from now. I have no idea what the world will look like in a year. Specifically, patches are applied and versions change.

The best answer is almost always contingent on context. We can have shared evidence, but proof is internal to one mind.
