Agreed. We have the entire history of personal computing to know the consequences of these changes.

Industry experts still state, ad nauseam, that side loading and 3rd party app stores are the overwhelming source of Android malware. (Source: Nokia Threat Intelligence report: literally every single year it is issued.)

There are better solutions available, such as directly addressing developer's complaints, rather than hoping a competitor will materialise:

- Requiring google spin off the approval process into an independent, audited entity.

- Legislate a maximum price for transaction fees (like how some markets do with bank fees)

- Legislate a maximum price for listing/admin fees (like how some markets do with staple goods)

What isn't the solution is removing all guard rails from the number 1 source of malware.

Also I don't care much for deemphasising the role of a trusted app store. This is mainly harmful to startups and small developers, since the likes of Spotify can fly solo and undercut smaller developers which rely on Google’s store for visibility and user trust in transactions. Few will hand over their banking details to these smaller developers, especially if they’re overseas or using a different currency.

An entire generation of people were scared of, or did not meaningfully use computers because of malware. Yet this same generation is not scared of smartphones and tablet computers and contributes significant spend to the app ecosystem. I fear that once legislators and court rooms bring back the risks of computing in the '90s, it will take us back to square 1.
I like this groundbreaking writing on a 21st century phenomenon: sometimes people don’t do things that they don’t feel like doing and its corollary: people have various reasons for not feeling like doing some things sometimes.
Yes and they'll just go back to crypto mining when they flood the market with low prices. This ends up increasing the mining complexity and increasing energy consumption for the same number of blocks mined.
I think judging by the title and the mention of bit banging, the aim of this isn't to get a robust reliable thing going on. I find hacking things together like this to be really fun and doesn't feel like a job. sort of entertainment. but that's just me perhaps.
If these plans are "insane", then we have a much more serious problem on our hands - the overwhelming majority of important documents being created today are digital-only, so if we can't trust digital archival, we're doomed to create a black hole in our history.

Fortunately, The National Archives are very competent at digital archival. They have created a comprehensive set of guidelines and tools for preserving digital records.

American tech firms are propaganda and information warfare outlets for the US.

But so what?

Russian tech firms are propaganda and information warfare outlets for Russia.

It's disingenuous in the extreme to call out the US for this behavior when every great power on earth engages in the exact same behaviors.

It sure does. It's just not the message you think or claim it is.

Probably autonomous cars will have some kind of transponder readable by road infrastructure, other cars and law enforcement. So, it would be easy to catch offenders.

I think this is conceptually a good idea, even if this implementation and color choice may leave something to be desired.

The idea that there would be a pilot lamp for self driving itself is a good idea - and while I think this color is fine (ships use green lights for starboard for example) - its obvious from reactions here that further thought and discussion is needed on the matter.

I think once we can agree on a color/mode of operation, a self driving pilot lamp should be a legal requirement - particularly as a means to enhance pedestrian safety.

Most of what humans talk about isn't science or religion, and to reduce the world to just that is pretty weird to say the least. Most things can't be resolved by appeals to objective truth. It sounds like you're working on a model where that's how one resolves conflicts, but literally most of the history of knowledge, humanity, whatever label you want to put on it -- isn't that. Even science isn't by any means that binary. Disagreements can last centuries. And we're even at a spot in science where a lot of the interesting stuff fumbles around for decades before we can even come up with experiments that could possibly test it; and some of it we won't ever be able to test. (A lot of cosmology isn't testable.)

But the point me and a few others were making is that you don't seem to know much about religion, so it's probably not a good thing to use in analogies. Religion is definitely not a set of neatly divided mutually exclusive beliefs. Almost all of the world's adherents come from two families of religions -- Abrahamic or Vedic -- and within those groups there's a whole lot of similarity and varying levels of theological exclusivity.

I feel like gambling or the stock market may be better examples. If one person takes a long position on a stock and another short, they have mutually exclusive beliefs about it, and one of them will be wrong.

If the mark is able to detect the deceptive manipulation, then the mark should weight the pleasure/burden of adopting a particular style of patronizing teacher treating the lazy manipulator like a dimwit idiot, insofar as addressing said stupid as if it were a toddler.

If the burden is too much, then best to cut it short, apologize for the lack of time, and postpone to the 33st of Neverember.
Speed cameras will easily enforce this.

Just like today they automatically bill you for entering in special zones or give you a speed ticket.
"Random woodland" - I would propose an "Erratic woodland".

"Concealed layer" - interesting as Google automatically transforms it into "hidden layer" in search results but when I insist it to use the former then it would turn up some papers. But I like it and would actually use it to enrich the writing.

"Man-made intelligence" - is so lovely and true, I should use it too.

"Huge information" - you can wish but it's only data most of the time.

You are right but then the project authors don't owe you support and don't want to support you if you are in that situation, so fork it or find another project.

It’s the same thing in Chicago. Gentry use to remain across the river but housing priced/designed for them has pushed past halfway to the Western end of the north side (everything above the Eisenhower expressway) and has been steadily marching south, already into Pilsen, Bridgeport, Bronzeville.

I’m curious how much the Polish will put up a fight since they’ve had the Kennedy expressway separating them from the advance on the Northwest side; they’ve always been one of the largest ethnic groups, but if they’re anything like the state of the Ukrainians where there wasn’t enough young generations holding down the neighborhood I expect they’ll fall over in 10 - 15 years if things stay on course (that's from my boomer Ukranian landlord who grew up there and whose mother, whom didn't speak English and was the actual owner, lived above me in a two-story).
The long and short of it is that it matters when you started doing it, or more precisely how dominant you were when you started doing it.

If you have strict rules form the get go while you’re a nobody in the relevant market, then you’re free to maintain those strict rules even if you all of a sudden became a big player (although you can’t become more strict).
This is in part because the assumption is that if your rules would’ve been too strict, then you would’ve never been able to become a dominant market player, because nobody would’ve wanted to deal with you.

If on the other hand you were open and didn’t have strict rules in place but you start changing your tune once you’re big and powerful then it could be explained as you abusing your power (i.e. luring people in with relaxed rules, only to turn up the thumbscrews once everyone depends on you).

Apple has always had a walled garden with strict rules and a 30% commission, and despite that many were happy to join. Since then they’ve not turned up the thumbscrews, in fact they’ve done the opposite by lowering the commission for the vast majority of developers.
The flip side is that they can’t go stricter and to a higher commission from here because they are too dominant now.

That’s also in part why Apple has all these hills they’re willing to die on, anything they concede now, they can never undo or return to.

They don’t have the flexibility of testing a 5% commission for example and see if that works better, because the moment they decide it didn’t work out for them and they increase it back to 15% or 30%, it can be explained as an abuse of dominance because of the people that joined in, and became dependent on them, during that test.

Smaller companies can try new pricing strategies, new monetisation strategies, etc. Sure when they announce that from now on their “free plan” is discontinued some customers might moan and complain, but they never have to worry about government intervention on the basis of antitrust.

I think it'd be interesting to connect a high sensitivity / resolution sampling probe directly to the analog output of the drive heads. You could do software-defined signal processing to potentially recover damaged data. These USB-based tools are getting the signal after being amplified in the analog domain and processed by the drive's electronics.
Ya, or several different horn sounds.
I don't agree with the author here. Willing to look stupid bears the motive that one is eager to learn despite what others might think of you. That is not the same as low-key manipulating someone else to have the job done for you.

Yes, we throw a lot of the normal rules out the window in an emergency.

However, to me (and the law), an emergency is "someone is going to die or be seriously injured, and imminent intervention is needed to prevent that."

I know that it sucked that most public libraries were closed for several months.

But nobody needed a copy of my book "Experimenting With Babies: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid" to prevent imminent serious harm.

If reading my book could have prevented injury or starvation, sure. But there was no "literary emergency" here that required pirating copyrighted material as the only reasonable response.

You are not wrong that there are many games that are bottle-necked on lower end CPUs.

I would argue that for many CPU bound games, they could find better ways to utilize the GPU for computation and it is likely they just didn't have the knowledge, time, or budget to do so.

It's easier to write CPU code, every programmer can do it, so it's the most often reached for tool.

Also, at high frame rates, the bottleneck is frequently the CPU due to it not feeding the GPU fast enough, so you lose frames. There is definitely a real world requirement of having a fast enough CPU to properly utilize a high end video card, even if it's just for shoving command buffers and nothing else.
No, it wouldn't. They have a lot in common. What various statements do you want to make about "sales orders"? What various statements do you want to make about "purchase orders"? My guess is that a lot of those statements are the same. In fact, a lot of the statements, e.g. "when was this record last modified?", are statements you want to make about all sorts of things. If you list out everything you might ever want to know about a PurchaseOrder, and everything you might ever want to know about a SalesOrder, and you just fucking JAM all that shit in each table (or a combinatorial explosion of child and association tables), you end up with two giant tables that are kinda-the-same-but-kinda different; you end up with a bad database. A database with a table called SalesOrder(s) and another called PurchaseOrder(s) is a bad database. That is exactly my point. Everybody makes this mistake. They only get away with it because they're tackling simple, easy problems (badly).

Everyone seems to think that one record is one noun. No! One record is one statement. One table is not a list of instances of one distinct noun; it's a list of instances of one kind of statement you want to make. This is much closer to a "pure" relational model (e.g. as espoused by Codd, as hinted at in Out of the Tar Pit) than constantly making the exact categories-are-hard-boundaries mistake discussed in TFA. Most people have started recognizing the problems with "class Cat : class Animal", but then they do this exact thing in their databases, reintroducing all the same problems.

The generated react living alongside custom react sounds similar to MUI's low-code drag-n-drop editor that they're working on (https://mui.com/toolpad/).

Looking at the demo, does Plasmic have any killer features that MUI's offering doesn't? At the moment, MUI's main limitation is that it can't connect directly to a database: you have to go through an API, or write an API route for each app that proxies the SQL queries.
I don't know 15% may be correct but the problem is that when a large enough number have put their weight behind something the real people fall in line and finish the job.
It seems that my info has been stolen by a variety of hackers as part of this and several prior hacks that at this point does it even matter.

My biggest peeve when I visited Memphis. My wife went to Graceland, which I was excited to avoid. A couple buddies and I went to Sun Records for a tour.

So many black rock pioneers recorded there and they got about 10 minutes of lip service. The whole rest of the hour was dedicated to Elvis. I left a bit early when I realized they were sticking with Elvis the whole time.

Now, the Lorraine Motel - that is a tour I feel like everyone should experience.

I think that is fine with corporate accounts. But I would not do that for government organized campaigns.

I know this is a controversial opinion on HN and it borders on paranoia. But I consider a few ideas. First, to a determined government there is no such thing as an anonymous account. I act as if my reddit, HN, Instagram, etc. is just a column in a database that is linked to my ip address, email, phone number, physical address, government id / passport. Second, I act as if every post I make is being analyzed for sentiment against a set of categories of content. If I trigger enough of those sentiment categories then I end up on a list. I'm sure I am on some lists already - I would prefer to minimize the number of lists that I am on.

It seems to me that purposefully trying to subvert a government organized information campaign would get a person on the kind of list that I would prefer not to be on.

> one of the commandments of being in an Inner Ring is that one must not allow in riff-raff

But Lewis was a professor of English literature who invited in the riff-raff. People like him weren't supposed to like pulp science fiction and fantasy stories. That was seen as trash, and it's not exactly hard to understand why either. But Lewis insisted that there was something great and valuable there, something fairy tales (and old epics like Beowulf) had but modern literature had lost sight of.

Going from agnosticism and fashionable scientism of his day to Anglicanism was also a "debasement" of sorts. Like adoring pulp SF wouldn't win you the most friends in literature, adoring Jesus wouldn't win you the most friends with the rising stars in science and politics of his day. And then he in turn shocked a lot of his newfound Christian brethren by marrying a divorced woman. It's hard for me to see any place in Lewis' life where he tried to fit in to something exclusive.
The same here. Things for me are pretty much in color as if in a giant OLED screen. It is just that some very specific hues of yellow and green look different to me compared to standard vision people.
No one thinks Russia invaded Ukraine in a vacuum. Putin is such a weak, weak leader that he had no choice but to walk into Dark Brandon’s trap. It’s really too bad Russia doesn’t have any agency to leave the quagmire they’re in, but that’s what happens to weak countries with very weak leadership. So now they’re left with no choice than to sacrifice more Russian soldiers than the US lost in both theatres of WWII, just because the real decisions in Russia are being made in Langley, Virginia.

Or something.

Other than the school diploma that wouldn't really prove anything for the Windrush people because it was about residency rather than nationality. The immigration laws changed in the early 1970s so you had to prove you were in Britain before the change (and, IIRC, in some cases provide evidence for every single year you were in Britain for it to be considered valid).

I could perhaps get some records from the school I attended, maybe? No idea if they still have records from decades ago. I certainly don't have anything from that lying around. Who still has records from their elementary school or high school? Some probably do, but I don't think it's uncommon for people to have nothing at all from that when they're in their 60s.
