>and you can't make users care about this stuff when they just want to do their taxes, manage their businesses, talk to their friends, and look at their photos.

The thing is, you can easily do all that stuff right now on Linux, even if you're a casual computer user. Unlike 15 years ago, ALL that stuff is now done inside a web browser, so the OS is really nothing more than a platform to run Chrome (or better yet, Firefox). Any idiot who knows how to use a PC can start a web browser, and from there it's no different whether you're on MacOS, Windows, or Linux.

And Linux has the huge advantage that it won't suddenly do a forced update and reboot your computer while you're doing a presentation at work.

> Wouldn't help if the source code already has the backdoor in there though

I'm not sure if you're aware but random tools don't just spawn in official package repositories overnight.

There's a vetting process, for both new packages and new maintainers. Also in established distros, packages don't get accepted to official repositories unless it's a critical and highly demanded one.

So yeah, any software can have vulnerabilities, regardless of OS.
But stray tools and dubious actors, are pretty much a solved problem in linux distros. The situation on Windows is laughable in comparsion. No need to spread FUD.

Cynical reductionist me thinks Apple gets more ROI spending on marketing than in security.

They also spend a ton of engineering resources to prevent customers from using their products as general computing devices with the pretense of hardening security. It works to an extent and the tradeoffs are debatable, at least among tech-savvy folks in HN.

Mama and Papa are virtually the same in every language that I've been exposed to. My theory is that "babies first words" aren't actually words; "ma" and "pa" are just the easiest syllables for a baby to make and society has interpreted them as meaning mother and father.

I feel that way about a lot of organizations. Unless there's an ongoing need, they should fold up and be done. Corporations too. If this were how it worked, we'd all get products that last forever passed around as heirlooms.

Unfortunately everything living is afraid of death, and these organizations will come up with an ongoing need, real or not.
>Some people might say Linux has grown up but for me it's off-putting. I don't want my OS to be for everyone because my wishes are pretty different than most people's.

Linux CAN be for everyone; that's precisely why so many different distros exist, to focus on different groups of users who have different needs and preferences.

It would be nice if ZFS was a true first-class citizen in Linux-land though.
There are plugins for Firefox that can make the user agent string anything you want.
I'm not saying anything about the vulnerability of the victims of these attacks. I'm saying it's absurd how the trillion dollar corporation fails to protect them. NSO should be stopped, sure. But don't kid yourself — someone will take their place immediately for as long as these vulnerabilities continue to exist.
I really really love Arc. But I don't understand how they will make enough money to support the amount of work they've done. Their website seems to say nothing about this, and everything I've found about it so far is hand waving and speculation.

Are you really that naive? Google don't even reveal how their search engine scores the web pages they index, and you want them to tell you the evidences of NK being behind this or how they figured that out? You are free not to trust them if you choose.

It's particularly ironic because in this case social media was used to gain access to the researcher's computer:

In one case, they carried on a months-long conversation [on X], attempting to collaborate with a security researcher on topics of mutual interest

HN is another perfect place for that to happen. How do we know that pphysch (or me jryle70) isn't a NK's agent trying to get more information about the technique employed in this case?
Wow, Chrome has become Facebook ... having to drill in and find/disable newly added opt-out features.
My point is that many households have adapted to the cheap labor - larger houses, larger gardens and so on based, larger than the owner can self-suppprt, based on the cost of labor.

Owners would have to do more themselves (thus spend time) or more money (that they can't spend consuming other things) if labor costs increased.

I'm also not arguing for limitless immigration. What I'm trying to say is that there will probably not be zero illegal immigration despite what politicians promise, at this point it's baked into the (cost-)structure of society I suppose and not painlessly undone.

The silver lining is maybe we can return to the days of browser wars. Chrome came out of nowhere to win this and it seemed to dial down in prominance.

Would be great to see more attention being brought to the independent browsers: Firefox, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi etc

Not sure if we are there yet, but seems we are heading that direction.

Referer is not quite the same as how it was. In recent years, the default behavior in most cases is for the browser to either send just the origin, or no referer at all.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re...

"Origin" means no path, so the referer might tell me which search engine the user used, but not what search query was done. It's much better than in the old days, where I might even see someone's session ID in the referer.

This was likely in a codebase that has been fuzzed extremely heavily. There are a lot of bugs that fuzzing cannot possibly reach. I'm guessing NSO group has a lot of talented vulnerability researchers who do code auditing. Companies need to invest in hiring and training these individuals and paying them what they are deserve. Throwing fuzzers at things and calling them secure is part of the problem.

Yeah, the AAA thing definitely didn't work out for them (or for whatever company was called Atari when they were AAA publishing).

I could definitely see them being a great Indie publisher, and I just saw that they bought Nightdive Studios earlier this year (at least I assume that's the same Atari) - so they seems to be setting themselves up for that kind of "Triple-I/Double-A" stuff. Heck, I hope they still own the Star Raiders IPs and make another remake of it, hopefully a better one than the last.

And they bought Stern IPs. They could do a new Berzerk game as a frantic twin-stick shooter - get inspiration from Robotron 2084 which too inspiration from Berzerk.

Okay, seems like Atari actually has potential ahead of them, that's cool!

Google was playing 3D chess when they started developing Chrome, and when they started making moves to strip away things like user agent strings, they were really just making the final moves of a campaign set years before to create a walled garden of ads data.
Years ago I remember having a very similar reaction to many online platforms switch to https. It was pitched as protecting people from isp packet based ads but it always felt more motivated by locking the competition out of the data stream

When it first came out, it really was so much faster than every other option that even ordinary users would immediately notice a difference. 2008 Google also had an incredibly positive reputation. If you tried to tell someone in 2008 that Google was an advertising company, you might convince them to agree that it was technically true, but they'd tell you that it was a stupid and reductive view of the company. Everyone was on board with the idea that Google's goal in creating Chrome was to help grow the web because obviously google search was reliant on the open web doing well.
Off the grid cabins frequently use a hybrid setup, where a (typically) propane generator refills the batteries during extreme load or whenever they dip below n%. It's handled by a smart system that can optimize for house temperature, minimum propane or electricity used, etc.

This works very well because you rarely need it and propane has a fixed, predictable cost. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in CA due to their rules about generators.

That is how this sort of thing should be handled in a functional country -- unfortunately ours isn't, and even rescheduling cannabis to schedule III (as has been proposed) will inevitably be a massive political fight. Worse: the opponents of rescheduling often hypocritically use the lack of research to justify their opposition. These state-level laws, as awkward as they may occasionally be, open up an opportunity to build a fact-based case for rescheduling (or descheduling) drugs at the federal level in the longer term. I at least don't see any other realistic way of reaching that point.

It doesn't matter. Actually those plugins are straight up counterproductive.

The best user agent is the one that offers them the fewest identifying bits. In other words, the user agent of the most popular version of Chrome. The ability to set it to "anything we want" is actually a trap. What we really want is for everyone to use the exact same user agent so they can't tell us apart.

If everyone has the same user agent, it's nothing but a waste of bandwidth and it should be removed. Google is actually achieving our objective here.
There's been quite a bit of chatter on various forums about adding and dropping the (b)uild (y)our (d)reams slogan. I believe the company's Chinese ideograms reflect the Yi/Di of its first factory location, combine with B from the founders name. Marketing division came up with the slogan and back claimed the acronyms and then they have free PR as people argue both about the slogan and now it's removal.

There's even a website on how to remove the letters with a heat gun and dental floss, and the anagrams you can make to reapply them.

BYD are attacking the EV market segment Tesla can't yet pitch to, cheaper, but highly attractive to less wealthy car owners. Range is less, there's no autopilot, it's a car. It's selling well in Australia.

MG are also in this space. Very cheap vehicle for it's size and also EV choices. All the European EV makers are hoping to get Tesla market share and ignore cheap. These Chinese makers are going cheap and volume. It will be interesting to see what happens

(Urban driving has less range anxiety, lower effective range doesn't matter as much for small car short run owners. The real problem is lack of charging in apartment complexes, and on streets. Europe is doing better in that space)

I don't know why, but Shazam has been really hit or miss lately. I've always managed to get sources for obscure elevator songs that would pop up but now it's failing to pick up the simplest stuff. I've since then switched to Google assistant which can get the song right in 3 seconds or less and with much more consistency. It's a shame because it's just one of those apps I thought was groundbreaking when I first started using it.
For many of them, absolutely. But we presumably have many of them spreading at the same time. If one of them has a very effective transmission mechanism (and isn’t violently deadly), it could contaminate most people (a little bit like what Covid presumably did). If among those people, some of them have an infection that can kill with a high likelihood, then the two have plenty of opportunities to combine. Or the first one could mutate on its own, favoring a slow, asymptomatic process.

How do you go from a very bad flu to an extinction? Well, we haven’t tried to do that at scale yet [That was a dark joke], but presumably with a very low percentage of death, Covid was able to disable our ability to obtain toilet paper, sail the Suez Canal, not drink bleach and horse dewormer, and enrich commercial real estate owners [I’ll stop with the jokes]. More seriously, our logistics were in the ditch for a while, and we realized we had very few factories for a lot of stuff that is essential for critical things—the plastic cap for the tiny glass vials that we put vaccines in? the tiny cardboard sticks used to hold the test to check if meat processing chains are clean? We had a lot of “I never thought that was a thing” moments. There’s a lot more to be had.

More deaths, especially through a slower mechanism, could block our ability to distribute some essential medicine, disinfectant, food, or even water. If some parents believe that their kids could be dying unless they obtain a compound that is in a protected facility, that facility could be breached—even if it’s all a hoax and that’s actually an insufficiently protected bio-security lab with live samples of a worse infection.

If you’ve seen any pandemic horror story, you’ve seen countless errors in judgment, from the billionaire fleeing to the last uninfected island, carrying the virus on board, to the scientist who missed an assumption, etc.

I’m praying that you are right, but *we don’t know* because (back to the sincerity behind that first joke) we have no idea if our genetic diversity protects us against any zoonotic infection. It’s a domain we understand in principle but have no way to acquire relevant scientific knowledge. Hence why this is a *new type of risk*.

Oppenheimer was able to say that the atomic bomb wouldn’t ignite N2 and the whole atmosphere. Imagine they knew this was a risk but couldn’t run the math because of uncertainty in quantum physics. Would the project be threatening in a completely new way?

To answer your question:

> I do not get how you are arriving at that conclusion.

You indeed can’t because I’m not reaching that conclusion, not formally. There are obvious gaps in my speculative reasoning. But those gaps are known unknowables. They currently seem impossible to disprove clearly.

This is why this was explained to me in a class about the philosophy of science, not microbiology.
Do you propose an explanation for why they are always this way round? Eg. you may expect some language to use 'mama' for father and 'papa' for mother based on your reasoning.
This was terrible at the time and it remains terrible now. Extremely few teams need this level of complexity and some parts of it – like the redundant long-lived develop branch – are pointless safety blankets. It seems to have only caught on because a lot of people felt adrift when it comes to Git and this was written far too authoritatively for what it is. I’ve seen so many small teams tie themselves up wasting time working for Git Flow that I think this might actually be the worst thing to ever happen to version control. I’m glad the author has mostly walked it back, but unfortunately the damage has been done.

If you are putting a team together and haven’t picked a Git workflow and are unsure what to do, start with something simple like trunk-based development and add complexity if and when you encounter problems that justify it.

No, of course Square is harder to fail-over than YouTube. There's no such thing as a lost monetary transaction on YouTube (a lost ad click at most).

From financial liability point of view, and also from PR point of view, it may be better to completely shut down and not accept payments than to take money from a buyer and fail to transfer it to the seller, or bill somebody twice, etc. Eventual consistency is OK, but final consistency should be guaranteed.

Because of that, it's harder to run stuff like chaos monkeys, DiRT-style exercises, etc, in an institution that handles relatively large and well-tracked transactions. Hence it's harder to stay prepared to various disaster scenarios.
