Perhaps "they are looking at it the wrong way"..

On a more serious note, is this due to large media exposure or is there something out of the ordinary here? OLED is not new and big companies like Samsung have been the "canary" for this.
WTF is the picture in the linked press release? They've multiplied Kepler curve by an arbitrary coefficient of ~2 to make it match the measurements from the paper in 16-25 kpc range, while it clearly won't match in < 16 kpc range. What is this picture supposed to tell us? Compare it to figure 5 from original paper to see the actual Kepler curve used in the study.

Agreed. It's like single issue political parties. They make a point and then will disappear once people realise that a strong feeling about just one issue is actually a very small statement overall.

I guess I'd like to see this job board refocus to be a curated set of jobs, that are chosen by a group of technical experts and those who are trusted to vouch for good company cultures. It may be that no cryptocurrency jobs get through that filter! That may even be an unwritten rule. But the fact that it's not the tagline of the whole site would hopefully make it more impactful in the long run.

Then just offer users the option to filter them? What's the point of refusing to post cryptocurrency related jobs beforehand? It's weird, useless posturing.
That's true to some extent, but I think the real reason for the coupling is because that's just IBM's use-case and worldview. Cockpit is essentialy a wrapper over systemd commands, and one commentor has demonstrated how it could have been envisioned as a modular platform allowing end-users to wrap anything from direct kernel interfaces to entirely custom commands. They've made something useful and beautiful, but I wish it had been designed to make less assumption about it's runtime environment and expose it's toolkit to end-users so that we could all enjoy it for our own needs.
Watch out, Cloudflare is a crypto job since the company runs an IPFS gateway: https://developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ipfs-gateway/

Cryptography means cryptocurrency because that's what virtually every cryptographer was trying to achieve: cryptographically-secured interactions between people.

And economic interactions are the most impactful ones. Note that (Open)SSL was created when people really wanted to make CC payments over the internet.

Also: a lot of cryptographic protocols require some censorship-resistant publication medium. Wanna rotate keys and retire old ones? You need some sort of distributed transparency log. Want a human-readable name that escapes Zooko's triangle? Also need a log. These things did not exist until people got used to blockchains. Even CT log for TLS arrived only after Bitcoin, even though it does not require no mining or currency.

I'm not against Cryptocurrencies but it's definitely an industry that could be wiped out by lawmakers the moment they realize how "this internet thing works" or the moment they decide to do their cryptocurrency and screw the ones made by private citizens - so I feel a bit shaky working for an employer related to Crypto.

For example, in my country (in the EUSSR), if you're a third country national and doing something related to cryptocurrencies you won't be able to open a bank account and fail the requirement to immigrate here (happened to a friend of mine). Similarly if you try to buy a house with money coming from crypto you won't be able to physically put the money into the bank for "compliance".

So you are already cut out with buying real estate from banks and corporations and you need to find a private buyer happy to accept to be paid outside of the country (if you send money to his bank in the country, he will be hit with the same compliance problems).

Cryptocurrency tries to solve a political problem with technical means and I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet - but I'm sure it won't end well, in one way or another.
Mind you, one way could be that it turns into ETH where government regulations cover validators (eg. they banned money coming from the cryptotumbler) - but then we're back at just your standard banking systems, with more hoops.
Sorry, friend, but you're on a website created by a "startup accelerator" company surrounded by people who genuinely believe in capitalism and the free market, and have strong libertarian streaks.

The point of startups and VCs is to create _private_ wealth for individuals by either taking money from the poor (they deserve it, they weren't smart enough to learn to code or to become startup founders), or from the government (it would be wasted anyway).

China is obviously worse than the US because the government exerts more control, and so there's really only 1 entity that owns everything (the government), so clearly it has an even worse anti-trust problem. No one can compete with the government fairly, right?

Whereas in america, the government will not stop you from making the 20th "AI Driven Auto-Crypto-Investment Smart Brokerage with Ads" that steals money from the poor (regular americans) and gives it to the rich (VC investors). Heck, as a "small business" you can get some nice preferential treatment to fleece people.

Small reminder that the left party described in your comment is actually formerly known as the communist party in Sweden and that they supported during WW2 the invading soviet forces vs Finland.

That may explain why she is interested in bringing this legislation forward. I think privacy is not at the forefront of preoccupations for communists.
My number in EU (LTU) is not prepaid, but likely on some bullshit outdated prefix blacklist, so US companies (microsoft and blizzard so far) do not allow to use it for authenticators and such for being a prepaid number.

Funny that you mention that Cloudflare runs a IPFS gateway which has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, but you don't mention they also run gateways for Ethereum and Polygon, which are actual cryptocurrencies.
Is there any country that directly elects their government and its ministers?

The commission is appointed by the European council (i.e. prime ministers and presidents of the member states) and approved by the parliament (your directly elected representatives).

They _should_ absolutely be held accountable in the same way we hold ministers accountable in the member states.
If they can be sued for it, I wouldn't say it's accurate to say they can continue opposing it. Even cut funding, if they still have to contribute funds to the EU, would be coercive.

I'd dare to say one of the reasons is quite simple - Bing's ugly UX.

When Google was just starting to gain popularity its search results weren't much better than Altavista's. Yet, its interface was much cleaner, it loaded and spewed out results faster, the overall experience was better. Bing is the Altavista. The user is bombarded with cookies, logotypes, ads, maps - all that complex layout right from the start. As a user you feel napalmed by information, and nobody likes that.
Probably "how not to specify a file format" is a better title? Lots of issues in the APPNOTE are already well-known, Info-Zip had its own version of an unofficially corrected specification [1] [2] for example. Even the international standard (ISO/IEC 21320-1:2015) is not helpful, as it is specified by subsetting the APPNOTE, not correcting it.

IMO this has nothing to do with big tech. End to end encryption does not prevent big tech from reading your messages if you use their provided client.

The importance of money in politics is greatly overstated, this is just government wanting more control.
What we can do today:

Use different, better structured formats. (Except just about everything can handle a 'well formed' zip file)

Take care to emit well-formed zip files.

Never trust un-sanitized input. This includes ensuring that any malformed input does not escalate to a security issue such as a buffer overflow, or a path escape when not allowed.

Be tolerant of poorly formed zip files.

Have repair tools which operate in useful ways, such as 'streaming' (front to back), with optional rename / replace / etc on name collision / delete, or utilize the Nth located (backwards of forwards?) directory record set.
You can always clean-install a new iOS update in DFU mode, and in this use case the iPhone isn't configured so preserving any non-existent data isn't necessary. But it also looks like you can always update with data through DFU mode?[1] It doesn't say whether the computer has to be pre-authorized with that iPhone, but it's also DFU mode where authorization matters less, so shrug.

> In addition, isn't the cost of a mask in it's design, not it's production?

They tend to be in the same ballpark.

There's a feedback effect: if the maskset gets cheaper you can afford to do shorter product cycles (think "iphone 15.5"), now you've got two masksets each with half the engineer-years devoted to it. This lets you be a bit bolder with the design since the cost of screwing up is lower. If masks get super-expensive then you only do one maskset and you throw more design-hours into making damn sure it's correct, and spend more time adding in "chicken bits" -- ways to turn off features that you screwed up, without ruining the whole chip -- and fallback options or insurance-policy type stuff. So the design cycle will lengthen or shorten if the engineering cost is several times larger or several times smaller than the mask cost. They sort of balance out.

Also the design cost is often impossible to define exactly. Blocks from previous designs get reused, so you can't really "charge" the effort it took to design them to just one chip. All the major design houses write a lot their own CAD tools too, and these tools have decade-or-longer lifetimes.
The articles main point seems to be complaining about ambiguity.

It was pretty obvious 30 years ago that this was the correct way to unzip. Streaming content wasn't even a thing back then (dialup being a luxury). It was the only way to ensure that a self extractor could work reliably.
I may be wrong but I believe the major problem with tree farming is that you lose biodiversity since what gets replanted is usually a single species.
I like how people give many reasons about why 32 hour work weeks is a bad idea, but are somehow settled on the magical 40 hour agreement. Even if all of those are valid, the very same reasons can be applied to an argument for 48 hour work weeks or 60 hours like in many Chinese tech companies.

And of course, we'd still need to reimplement many of the existing systemd-based modules. I wonder if the creation and maintenance of these modules (given the existing size and status of the ecosystem) is less-than-trivial in comparison to something like a set of NixOS config bindings. At the end of the day, I'd be more exited about a project that puts portability and customization first than retrofitting an upstream product to whom I'm not a target user.

I'm a big fan of features. At any point, I could randomly be invited to a project where I want to use one of the other 80% of features. I like one size fits all apps instead of fragmentation.
Yeah - it’s a wildly different paradigm. It’s not quite the same as Erlang/OTP, but it requires a mindset shift much like learning OTP and thinking of callbacks on an event loop working together. Users can interrupt code when they want, and aren’t obligated to take a blessed path of actions.

I will say that some of the complications he mentions are from web apps needing to compile down to a single executable, on a platform that only really supports one interpreted language. Perhaps WASM will help here, over time.
Ask HN: Can Vercel launch open-source versions of applications hosted on Vercel?
Related to this post on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1791l82/icymi_vercel_reserves_the_right_to_open_source/

How much is legally possible for Vercel? Can they take inspiration from hosted applications and launch open source versions? Can they access the code and take inspiration from it?
No, I'm not crazy. Just checked.
Seems that this is triggered when you have a specific setting in Installing Apps from Windows Store and that this happens by default is specific Windows 10 versions

So doesn't seem widespread to start with - outside of the MS tactics in general which are bull as always. If anyone knows which Win10 version have a restrictive installation method to start with, it will be useful to understand the actual impact

This depends on the extensions that are used. For example, ZIP file can use a LZMA compression, and not all decompressors can handle it.
Have you looked at F#? If you like the MLish aspects of Rust but want to not have to deal with some of the manual memory management complexity it's pretty nice.

You miss the point, they can be sued after agreeing to it but not implementing it.

Microsoft uses all dirty tricks in the book to keep their users on the default browser (which is of course MS Edge).

Legal..? I'm sure their lawyers think it is?

I posted about this before, but MS got fined before by the EU for this kind of OS/Browser bundling in the late 2000s. For a while, we had an option at installation on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 to choose our browser.

These were still the days of Internet Explorer, so I don't know how much MS not having a competent browser factored into this decision, but I was really surprised that with a recent fresh install I did, this browser choice prompt was gone. Not to mention all the roadblocks thrown up by MS while trying to install an alternative browser...

Exactly, some of the quirks are just a result of designing this for these old systems. ZIP needed to work acceptably on machines with less than a megabyte of RAM. The file format contains ambiguity and redundancy yes, but given well behaving software it's the "good enough" of archive formats. Even in the *nix world we didn't get anything better, tar isn't even seekable and has its own idiosyncrasies, especially if you compress it because the compression happens afterwards and is applied to the whole archive.
>I find it fascinating that the gaming industry is faced with similar issues with generalists, where I was expecting a lot more pragmatic choices and better paths for individual contributors even if they're not ultra specialized.

It's a similar solution to other tech: generalists aren't vauled as much at huge studios, but they thrive in smaller studios. So the "exit plan" for a generalist involves hitting the ground floor early on an up and coming studio and getting a significant stake in a successful release.

And like those unicorns, those new studios are a huge risk. But hey, at least these days you have a huge rabid fanbase of hardcore gamers who will foam over each PR release as long as you do some form of advertising.

It's valuable to you as a person who has kids.

You will note the majority of people in the US will not have kids.

I support the payment because I have kids, but at the same time I'm able to play the devils advocate and see the other side of the equation rather then blindly support something in my own self interest.
