The article hits a nail on the head here, but this feels more like a broader industry problem. "Where do we go next" is also the current problem that AMD and Nvidia are both facing too. If Intel wasn't working on improving their fabs and services, they'd probably be in the same boat.

We now have so much compute power on-the-go that we struggle to use it all properly. It's a good problem to have! For my money, the "final frontier" is more capable software.
Of course not. What does that have to do with anything? People with different lives and experiences will have different perspectives that are likely to be helpful. We all care deeply about the things that directly affect us and our loved ones and less about the things that do not. You can cover more bases with a diverse workforce and avoid making dumb mistakes. I don’t get why this is controversial.
This is such a bizarrely worded piece. It's like, really trying to milk some sort of controversy. But for the record most of the brands owned by Tobacco-adjacent holding company were acquisitions. Tobacco companies didn't invent Oreos or Kool-Aid or Jello. And in most cases they were barely involved in the companies they invested in.

So in just a bizarre way we're really just talking about the marketability of junk foods.

Barring superseding reasons to the contrary, in general US legal structure ascribes to corporations the same rights ascribed to individuals.

The properties can also be different. In general, you often can't rent a house long-term and set it up the way you like it. (It's simultaneously true that buying that house represents a much bigger commitment than renting an apartment is.)
No. What we must have is the right of interoperability. If a service has both a server and client then it needs to be considered a defecto monopoly unless it allows any other client access to its servers.

I am vague with intent so it is a broad question that can be answered in many ways. You are of course free to interpret the question the way you like.

I guess the reasoning behind why I started asking was because I was curious on how one-man shows run their technical aspects and then I just continued to ask since it became quite popular.

I think it's interesting to see how technical choices evolve over time, especially with very small companies since that is what I am most interested in creating myself.

What is the best 10 places on the Earth to work for digital nomads? and why?
What is the best 10 places on the Earth to work for digital nomads? and why?

1. Bali, Indonesia: Bali has fast internet, low living costs, and a thriving co-working scene.

2. Chiang Mai, Thailand: Affordable cost of living, stunning natural beauty, and a booming digital nomad community.

3. Medellin, Colombia: Affordable, lively, and livable with a warm climate and good food.

4. Lisbon, Portugal: Perfect for European visa and good internet connectivity

5. Prague, Czech Republic: A center for innovation, technology, and startups, with a low cost of living.

6. Budapest, Hungary: affordable, beautiful city with excellent culture and history, reasonable costs.

7. Tallinn, Estonia: High-speed internet in a growing tech community, the government offers benefits and facilities for digital nomads.

8. Playa Del Carmen, Mexico: Excellent quality of life and low cost of living, good midsize community of digital nomads, and tropical climate.

9. Ubud, Indonesia: A cultural center and also a heaven to digital nomads, with a vibrant yoga scene and regular events.

10. Da Nang, Vietnam: low living costs, plenty of co-working spaces and cafes, and good climate.

Note that this list only provides a starting point as the criteria and personal preferences may differ for each individual.
This article kind of highlights what I despise about the modern economy and technology: tech used to be about solving hard problems that made human life better. I'm extremely grateful for my refrigerator so I can have fresh food on demand, my dishwasher, washing machine and dryer to save me from some drudgery, etc.

But I feel like the vast majority of consumer tech these days falls in one of two camps:

1. It's there simply to addict us. Tobacco companies saw they had a gold mine with nicotine, and realized they could make food similarly addictive (and ultimately lethal in the long term). But it's not just tobacco companies: social media, "fast fashion", many types of entertainment, etc., don't do us really any good beyond a quick dopamine fix and are ultimately harmful to us.

2. It exists simply to deal with the complexity of systems we've set up in the first place. I think of all the fin tech and health tech startups that exist because so many of our financial and especially healthcare systems are insanely complex.

As someone who was a big techno optimist in the late 90s, I admit it's pretty depressing sometimes to think that the work you do is not ultimately helpful.
Corporations are just collections of people working together. Why would they not have freedom of speech?
>>Remember that at the time airplane hijackings were usually about ransom

This standard assumption is a critical point for understanding 9/11.

The well-established procedure was to keep talking with the hijackers, get the plane on the ground at an airport, and negotiate to get the hostages out, etc. Airplane hijacking was also remarkably common, and despite this, there were no real efforts to take measures like reinforcing aircraft cockpit doors.

That set of assumptions is completely incompatible with assuming that hijackers are on a suicide mission.

So the suicide mission succeeded in the first three airplanes, but withing an hour or so, when passengers on the 4th hijacked plane had heard about the other planes being crashed into buildings, they realized that they were all already dead, so attacked the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field in PA. Fighter jets were also scrambled so quickly that they had no time to load ammunition/armaments, and the mission was to take down the plane (but it went down first); this would also have been almost surely suicidal for the unarmed fighters, having to make contact in midair.

So, as a side-effect, in a single morning, the entire set of assumptions underlying hijacking was eliminated, and hijacking was also essentially eliminated. Any potential hijacker would be treated with the assumption that they were on a suicide mission, and had essentially zero chance of survival, let alone achieving their goal (money or release of prisoners). I don't recall hearing of a single hijacking since then (although a few instances of pilot suicide taking the passengers with them).
Except that this is about disclosing how a corporation removes speech, not about the government removing speech from anyone.

Oh, my childhood. Saturdays were for helping Dad clean the garage, build a piece of woodworking, or change the oil in one of the cars... while listening to car talk! In the garage we had this old 80s era radio/tape player (I was a kid in the mid 90s) and I remember jiggling the tuner to get the channel to come in clear.

Likewise, the last time I can recall a notable increase in my own enjoyment from a new GPU was my GTX 660. It ran all the games I was playing back then (TF2, Skyrim, Civ V, Bioshock Infinite...) on mid to high settings. The newer cards I've bought since then have only felt like marginal improvements. Yeah, the graphics have more detail, more effects, better lighting. So what? Do the games actually look better, aesthetically? Are the worlds more immersive? Is the gameplay any better? Nope.
I just love that whole movie. I know it's not that highly regarded but we all have a movie like that it seems like.

Dealt with it a few hours ago. Because of GitHub, as well.

I chose KeePassXC on the desktop. It has a database which you can move around, backup it. There is an app for Linux and MacOS 10.13+ (because of Qt5). For iOS, a quick search shows up something called KeePassium.

These apps seem to work with a certain database format (kdbx), so for sync you might need to place the database somewhere online (iCloud, as an example). Otherwise, you might not need syncing if you don't add 2FA accounts to your database that often.

Having worked with transportation "tech" companies in the past, even some that were wildly profitable - I've always found their execs or founders to be cold and generally out of touch with what their employees actually want.

I actually found a role here on HN for one of these companies, they'd actually built some really cool elixir tech to automate some big accounting and lending problems in freight factoring - however, they also bragged about "enabling the midwest" but in reality clearly just liked that they could run a sales team for next to nothing. One of the founders made big public announcements when they basically fired people who were "no longer a good fit" but whom had strong relationships with the rest of the company... it was weird. Also the only gig I had were they begged me to crosspost linkedin posts etc... Glad I left shortly after.

7 digits of the hash makes for 16*7 possible hashes. I spot 4 potential "filler" lines in that tweet, so if you find log4(16*7)=14 candidates for each of those filler lines, then one combination would be expected to yield that hash.
The only thing is that there were a bunch of 3rd party adapters (and a couple first party ones too) which had design or manufacturing flaws which caused them to melt. This kinda muddied the waters on the issue this year but it seems that the vast majority of issues after the problem was figured out were due to the specific 3rd party product.

It’s also the fact to some degree that the safety factor on the 12vhpwr connector is less than the old 8-pin, so smaller issues lead to melting. I know that I am slightly stressed about my 4090 even though I’ve thoroughly verified that it’s fully plugged in.

A classic example of diminishing marginal returns.
The problem is neither old people nor young people. The problem is the people who have amassed extraordinary amounts of wealth and truly think that it ALL rightfully belongs to them -- the social security / pensions of retired people and also the wages of working people.

We're not crushing young people with social security taxes. We're crushing them with wages that can't pay their bills, with or without social security taxes deducted.
What are the chances of that? From the perspective of one specific sentence: one in 7 digits of hex: 16 * 7 = 268,435,456.
I get your point about not letting stuff leak in the first place - but some of that is impossible.

If you buy something from a shop with anything other than cash ( some places have started no accepting cash ) - then you leave a trace as part of that transaction. Heck if you walk into a shop and pay with cash, the person at the till still sees you and may remember.

Visiting web pages properly anonymously is far from trivial - it's not as simple as refusing cookies.

The problem is the selling on of that data, and the joining of the dots across large bodies of data where the sum is often greater than the parts. I would argue it's the act of trying to build a picture of you, as oppose to the incidental accumulation of data.

Kinda like the difference between people seeing you walking on the public street ( you are giving away your image and location data ), and you being followed everywhere by a stalker.

At some point it crosses the line from the unavoidable, to the unpleasant.

To add my own anecdote. I am easily drawn in by the numbers game and, as a result, I started to walk even in conditions that would keep me at home several years ago. Freezing weather, rains, serious heat.

My immunity has improved a lot, and I think it comes from the relentless exposure to all kinds of Central European weather. I no longer experience bouts of cold etc., and except for Covid, I didn't have anything flu-like even in winter, when there was an obvious wave of respiratory diseases all around.

This is not a real counter argument or a fallacy in itself (slippery slopes do exist). It happened in other countries already (i.e. Germany) so it makes sense to assume this is happening here as well - especially with California.

While there were early signs that the browser ballot screen was influencing browser usage in the EU, with Mozilla attributing some European Firefox growth to the selection page, long-term trends strongly suggest that it was next to useless. In spite of equally prominent placement on the selection screen, Opera's share even within Europe appears to have declined over the last five years. So too have Firefox and Internet Explorer. Chrome, however, has experienced significant growth.

> Imagine how you'd move to a new town across the country in 2023: how do you find real estate without the Internet?

Worse yet, is how realtors are NOT equipped to even say "what internet services are available at this place".

Recently, our realtor has been in business, and was stunning on everything other than "what internet providers service this address". She would have to submit a query to the seller.

I showed her the FCC broadband dashboard, which has its own fraudulent data issue (not directly their fault, but their fault for not forcing ISPs who lie to follow through).

We turned down a really nice place that only had DSL that may be reconnected... we couldn't confirm since the Telco was actively spinning down DSLAM circuits in the whole area.

The place we're at now has FTTH and is served by a local ISP, not crapcast (the ones who lied the most in the FCC dashboard).

But again, your point is well made -much of our communication was split between online and seeing houses. About 1/2 each.

The bright side: she listened to my comments about how to determine broadband and is now incorporating that with buyers agent with others. (She told me recently she knows no other realtors who do that locally).
