They have broken no rules, and have provided great products that customers love to buy.

You’re bitching that you want more privacy, when GrapheneOS, Fdroid, Librem, Pinephone, and other alternatives exist.

They’re not that well developed because most people just don’t care like you do. “The man” isn’t keeping you down, there’s just not that big of a market for it.

And who knows, maybe the Solana phone will take off and be what you’re looking for.
I think there a link that can be drawn between the type of contract you describe, and feudal-era serfdom. Serfs at the time were effectively prevented from owning property - land. In this case, people are being prevented from owning property - cars. In both cases the exclusion was enabled by the laws at the time. In the case of feudalism, the land reform laws brought an end to the state of affairs. And, they were responsible for a very large increase in common prosperity.

What you say is correct - the laws as they stand do allow for this behavior by BMW, and the company is correct when they say that (buyers? renters?) don't own the gadget in question.

It's also true that a discussion around preventing this sort of behavior with new laws is probably warranted.

You're certainly entitled to choose non-crypto solutions to whatever problems you face but saying that crypto isn't solving those problems for other people is just ignoring the facts.

Crypto continues to be a store of wealth and tool of commerce in countries like Turkey and Argentina. High throughput payment networks (lightening, ethereums L2 ecosystem) are delivering low latency and low fee transactions with strong security guarantees. On chain definitely rivals centralized exchanges trading volumes while providing lending / borrow facilities. And in this case of electrical demand there is a happy coincidence between Bitcoin miners and grid operators.

All this without massive public subsides, completely voluntary participation, and no government bailouts.

So it'll probably be a while before everyone decides to call it a day.
I think this shows a mindset difference in how we think about net connectivity vs other capacities. For things like power grid connections, car horsepowers etc, we like to size things so that we don't max them out very often.

For eg a 150 GB game download on your console, a 25G connection sounds useful.

And of course a fast connection also enables new kinds of applications when enough people have them (eg game consoles could use networked on-demand storage for assets so wouldn-t be size limited by console SSD capacities). As long as bandwidth is very unequal between users, the faster end doesn't get applications built for it. That's why we should enact policies that make fast connections widely available. Fiber is cheap after all.
There are lots of opportunities for people that just need access to education already, but people who are not white, nor male, have a harder time taking them. Hence, here’s a program for those people.
It's more like they leverage it for diplomacy. The auditing means nothing really, it's being given to authoritarian government like Saudi Arabia as long as they are OK with Israel existing. The bar to get access to NSO tools is too low...

I agree to this this too.
Another key differentiator for Chrome, when it came out, was its process isolation model. Firefox has that too now.
Mojo team is avoiding this topic like a plague. I recently listened to whole Lex Fridman episode with Mojo's founder Chris Lattner [1] and I don't think they said a word about licensing. I still don't get it tbh.

I don't even understand how can Mojo be compared to Python without reflecting on Python Software Foundation which is arguably the main reason Python is such a wild success. We should do more PSF not less.

The recent SILO-LM paper has a slightly different approach: rather than using input embeddings and prompting the LLM with documents, it searches the database according to the LLM's output embedding and uses KNN search to skew the output embedding vector before token generation. Done that way round, using LLM embeddings outperforms RAG, allegedly.

They did it with a custom language model. I really want to give this a try with llama2 embeddings but haven't had the bandwidth yet (and llama2's embedding vectors are inconveniently huge, but that's a different problem).
Tbh I feel like the market already has, otherwise the people who buy iPhones would have bought Androids instead. Only here in HN and other Apple enthusiast comments sections will you see ideas suggesting otherwise, but I’m convinced that they are a very small and inconsequential minority of hobbyists.

Anyway, I still think that Apple can benefit from this. An alternate app store paves the way for app developers to build and enforce their own walled gardens which would result in poor user experiences, so if Apple made more of the apps that third-party developers would otherwise do and such apps work seamlessly with each other and the OS, then people will have an incentive to buy into Apple’s own services ecosystem instead of that of some other third-party developer that does not have total control of the OS.
I am not saying they are not but hierarchical representations do not have to be physical.
Mostly that's actually indeed the case, because of how statistical agencies define employment. People who are so terrible at work that they can't get a job anywhere eventually give up looking and fall out of the workforce entirely, so don't count as unemployed anymore (arguably they should).

For the rest, sure, there are some who search but cannot find work. But what that usually means is they can't find work that matches their specialism. Maybe they could go stack shelves for a bit, but if your prior work was as a senior lawyer it makes sense to take the time to find a job that matches your skills.
To me, it's not about the fact they can be gamed but even the premise is misguided. Unless I trust a particular critic because "I like what they like", then it is like asking everyone what political party they like or which make of car they prefer.

Deadpool scored 85% on rotton tomatoes and that makes sense, it was a bit different than the normal "Marvel" films and was well acted but it is totally not something I would enjoy.

Napolean Dynamite scored 32% and strictly speaking, it was a very oddball film. I really enjoyed it and there are more than enough quotes in it to still make me laugh over 10 years later.

The idea that crowd-sourcing reviews leads to some kind of useful truth is marginal at best but downright wrong.

> McCarthy did not invent Lisp with the expectation that it even could be used as a language for real computers.

He was expecting a practical language and was designing one. Lisp was from day zero a project to implement a real programming language for a real computer.

Earlier he experimented with IPL and also list processing / functional programming in Fortran.

The original plan was to implement a Lisp compiler. At first the Lisp code, which McCarthy was experimenting with, was manually translated to machine code. So before the first Lisp compiler or interpreter existed, he was experimenting with how to represent and make the code running on a computer.

He then invented a Lisp interpreter in Lisp. Then came up the idea (-> Steve Russell) to use this EVAL as a base for an interpreter implementation, which was also implemented by manually translating the Lisp code to machine language. McCarthy at first thought that it was not possible to use this Lisp evaluator written in Lisp as a base, but Steve Russell implemented it.

Around 1962 then a Lisp compiler followed.

The paper by Herbert Stoyan describes the history of McCarthy's Lisp project:

https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/c...

> considering he wasn't expecting a practical language at all :D

He was expecting a practical language, since he was designing one and the team was implementing it. He designed data structures, core functions, evaluation, garbage collection as memory management, input and output, ... The language was to be used as a list processing language for research in the upcoming field of Artificial Intelligence: game play, natural language dialogs, symbolic maths (integration, ...), logic reasoning, computer vision, robotics, ...

He wrote several design documents on the language and its implementation. There even is the Lisp I Programmer's Manual from March 1960:

https://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Programmers_Ma...

Lisp was initially developed for an IBM 704 computer and primitive list operations CAR (= FIRST, HEAD) and CDR (= REST, TAIL) were referencing machine architecture details of the IBM 704.
I disagree. It is unambiguous.

maacOS (in addition to bad capitalisation) could refer to an older and completely different OS.

Meybe not in this context, but it in general clearer is better.
> So any other app unfurling the attachment thus triggering the payload would be equally vulnerable.

What you're missing is that iPhone's app sandboxing applies to other apps, not to iMessage.

Sure, imessage does have blastdoor and some sandboxing, but it also still has imagent: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-look-at-ime...

imagent runs as root and processes incoming messages. whatsapp or signal or whatever cannot ship an unsandboxed always on daemon like imagent.

signal/whatsapp/etc have to parse incoming messages inside the app sandbox. iMessage doesn't.

(I'm saying this all very confidently because the quickest way to get the right answer is to be confident about the wrong one and get corrected by a techbro)
But is the code shitty? It looks like boring normal code to me. I'm not sure what point you're making here.

The point of the article is that you can write really boring normal code in NodeJS and it's really slow, or you can write really boring normal code in Rust and it's a lot faster, and it's not that hard to use the latter to replace hot paths in the former.
At least in US which is also usually pretty commercial it is a lot more palatable to propose to a business owner if you promise to come in during an extremely slow time period (e.g. Monday for a bar). But otherwise the worst for the owners is a bunch of slow people sitting a long time ordering very cheap things, taking seats from more spendy, higher turnover customers.

It also doesn’t help that my impression of Japan when I went there, was that a lot of these small businesses have room for maybe a dozen people at best.
How many does it have?
Stating this as a fact in the comments about a society that (seemingly) didn't have the hierarchy you say is essential flies in the face of the evidence.

I saw this and finally after 15 years of using emacs I will be recommending it to people and getting them to use this starter kit. Previously I just couldn't explain to people what I love about emacs without thinking about the huge barrier they have to overcome to make it nice. I also couldn't in good faith recommend a "batteries included" starter kit like doom because I don't use it and I'm not sure if it has what I love about emacs which is it sets you free.

I've also read the linked blog post about avy and forced myself to get familiar with it. Jumping all over the screen is great (I set it up jump across all visible frames in my tiling wm). I'm going to investigate consult et al next (already use vertico and orderless).

> They also like Go, which I hate.

To each their own... :-)

What I like about Go, is its combination of simple rules, contrasted with the rich set of ever-more advanced tactics. And (using handicaps) players of different skill can still enjoy a somewhat-balanced game.

There are just a few basic rules (board sizes, placement of stones, groups, freedoms, atari, capture) that are easily explained. Beginners may think it's a simple game then. Wrong!

From these follow more basic concepts like eyes, living/dead groups, effect of corners vs. edges vs. center, snapbacks, etc.

And then you get into more advanced tactics like netting, semi-connected groups, forcing moves, thin/thick positions, Ko fights, responding to opponent vs. just leaving a position as-is & play elsewhere on the board, etc.

Strong players can read ahead further than weaker players, or play more from their intuition ("that position looks weak, let's step in there & take some territory" style).

This is what makes it interesting computationally: it's difficult to evaluate positions, to put a number on how good a move is (although experienced players can easily spot a bad move when they see one), or getting a grip on the # of possible board positions.

So it could take a lifetime to master Go. AlphaGo has thrown another curveball into this.

Other games add complexity through their ruleset, board or # of pieces. Kind of: mastering the rules of the game, vs. mastering the game itself.
Neither China nor Taiwan agreed that they were separate countries — China still doesn't, and Taiwan only changed its position in 1991 — and both considered it internal affairs. I'm not sure what aboriginal Taiwanese people have to do with this, as

1. they had been citizens of imperial China for hundreds of years during the Qing dynasty, until Japan briefly and brutally colonized the island in 1895. And,

2. Han Chinese had been the majority on Taiwan since the 1600s — and parts of Taiwan (the Penghu islands) had in fact been originally Han Chinese, and had been ruled by China since the early days of the Yuan Dynasty (and semi-unofficially settled by China since the Song dynasty). It simply isn't true that "The island of Taiwan/Formosa did have people on it before the RoC fled there, but they were not Chinese." They were majority Chinese even on the main island, and had been for many centuries, long before the PRC vs RoC civil war.

Taiwan was not "new territory" for China. If you're going to quote the State Department on whether Taiwan was originally part of China, then have a gander at their 1943 statement: "all the territories that Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Formosa and The Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_Cairo_Declaration And while the U.S. claims that this was a statement of intent that was never fully implemented, it's still a statement of intent, and the RoC administered Taiwan post-WWII, and has never stopped.

The RoC didn't flee to new territory, they fled to the last remnants of the existing territory that they could defend in a civil war. And the U.S. propped them up, and continues to do so (in my opinion rightfully, but of course, I'm biased).

Also, this really isn't anything like the U.K. frankly.
I’m saying no one is forcing you to do anything, you make informed choices going in. If you want to be able to switch phones, only buy ones that support fdroid and the like. Apple doesn’t do that, so don’t get one of those. Maybe you think they should, but you’re a minority on HN and most people are thrilled with their wonder pocket computers.
Looking at their history you’re likely right. Downvoted.
also the introductions shortly mentions the "Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai".

So the city wall were also planned and built in a decentralized fashion, all by the community?

James C Scott used to say, that city walls were all designed to keep their own people from running away, sort of like the Berlin Wall, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ukte-je8k

Following this launch I've been test-driving both Firefox and Vivaldi. I'm surprised how few issues I've encountered browsing with Firefox, despite it not being part of the Chromium borg.

I dare say it's actually a nicer experience overall than Chrome, with the caveat that I haven't looked into battery life impact yet.
Idk, but I'd rather see a new iteration of PostgreSQL, similiar to Hydra[0], with a new engine become the upstream instead of a whole new database.
There's a lot of experience about db operation and how to approach MVCC encoded in PostgreSQL that shouldn't be underestimated.

I honestly don't understand the hate that Git Flow gets these days. We've been using it in our little client-services agency (projects of 2 to 8 developers with infrequent deployments) for the last couple of years and never had any problem with it. It's easy to explain and automate and mostly just works without getting in the way.
Or use brave.
Yes, I think this is the main reason.

I wouldn't call the keyboards bad per se, though. Of course there were some terrible ones, like the one on the ZX Spectrum, but most of them (like Commodore and Atari) were quite good even by todays standards. Especially build quality and materials were better than in the majority of keyboards today. Many of these old keyboards don't cause problems even after more than 40 years.

They were not suitable for gaming because they were not made for it. I'd even say they were not particularly suited for typing either.

In the 80s many people still learned typing on real typewriters which had crazy long key travel, considerable force required to press and bottoming out was part of the whole idea. Instead of doing what is ergonomically right, early keyboards chose to mimic typewriters to avoid alienating early users.

That is in my opinion the main reason why they were not used for action games.
Syntax highlighting now runs on regex, which means that it is slower and prone to errors. In the end, it understands nothing about the code it highlights. Tresitter, on the other end, makes a proper syntax tree.
Seems sane, don't think many people had any Apple association with The Beatles (that were/are the brand themselves) so getting a big payout for the trademark w/o further legal costs probably benefited them the most (and Apple trading under that name needed to put that to rest so they probably made sure that the payout was big enough).
> make it easier for upstart competitors to take on the established giants

No specific regulation is stopping this. If anything, all the regulation that are getting added have as a goal to reduce the red tape around smaller players and limit the extent of the giant players' monopoly.

If you were thinking about the rules forbidding dark patterns to suck client infos and accelerate growth, it would be a tough sell to be honest.
You can disable lockdown mode in web views for specific apps. You do it in settings because those apps don’t have the usual Safari UI for configuring that.
Cool, but now I need an AI tool that knows my interests and preferences and monitors HackYourNews for me, to alert me when a personally interesting article or discussion pops up.
There are smaller competitors, but people just don’t care. And Android is an open platform, so there’s Graphene etc.
To be fair mathisfun123 was originally responding to someone who tried it out and was somewhat disappointed by the state of things given the hype. It's a valid point.

Responding with only "have you looked at the team?" with nothing to say about the current state of things, which was what the sidethread was about, is what probably set them off since it is actually a pretty patronizing thing to say.

You want to give more leeway to the team because you think they earned the cred. mathisfun123, not impressed by the details of certain past projects, is not going to hold their breath until the current state justifies the current hype.

Both are reasonable positions.
One of the things that's talked about in "the dawn of everything" is the large number of what seem to be extremely egalitarian societies...ones that spanned large areas.

And that social groups form and get their values/norms/behaviors from being explicitly against certain values/norms/behaviors.

According to them, human beings are not instinctively anything. Hierarchy is just one form of social organization. Due to the way history is made it seems to be dominant, but that may or may not be accurate.

It may be that hierarchy is easier to understand when you're dumb as a rock. And as any student of humanity knows, there are plenty of those kinds of people all over the world.
No. More police police.
Interesting take, thanks for sharing. Wouldn't this behaviour (neglecting smaller companies) not hurt the US in the long run?

IPA now allows these companies to track users across multiple IP addresses, and regardless of the user's cookie settings, via a unique tracking identifier. It is also proposed that the operating system provides the unique tracking identifier which can then be used by all applications or browsers on a device, allowing different devices behind a single IP address to be distinguished.

Upon what reasonable moral authority can anyone claim to control what another person does to their own body that does not harm another person?

I claim an absolute, perpetual, inviolable, and inalienable moral right to my own person, and modifying it in any way I see fit: tattoos, scarification, branding, piercing, amputation, et cetera. I get to choose what medical procedures I will or will not accept. I get to choose when my life ends voluntarily. I alone choose what I will or will not eat, will or will not insert into my bloodstream.

The same moral authority that tells me I cannot put a specified substance into my bloodstream must also simultaneously claim the authority to tell me that I must swallow a certain substance or food, which is ridiculous. Does looking at it in that way reveal its absurdity to you?

If you don't have the moral basis to force me to eat a food I do not wish to eat, you do not have the moral basis to deny me the right to ingest a drug I do wish to ingest.
