I'm no expert on Dutch copyright law, but it seems like such a lawsuit would go nowhere. Presumably, there's no copyright violation at all here: the emulator's source code is FOSS and contains no Nintendo source code, as is usually the case with emulators. What it's used for is irrelevant; the only thing that matters is whether someone actually copied something without authorization from Nintendo, which (I assume) they did not.

The use of the code only becomes relevant with the US DMCA, with its stupid "infringing uses" clause. US law only applies inside the US though.

But a company like that, which does a lot of business in the US, can't afford to thumb its nose at the US's stupid copyright law, if they want to continue doing business there. So business and money take priority over copyright ethics.

There are differences between monopoly and centralization, and usually the government steps in to resolve such distinctions as a party that is (theoretically) serving the people instead of profis. That's what SMS was supposed to do and why they invested billions on landlines to support it.

But government most like molasses and sms is decades behind, so tech surpassed such standards. It's not a preferred result but an inevitable one.

>Can I ask why the rest of the world, particularly the EU, which is supposedly so "pro-consumer", isn't breaking up these monopolies held by billion dollar corporations in their countries

Is this rhetorical or have you not in fact heard about the DMA more or less doing the same thing the US is doing here, but years prior?

The big obvious problem here is that an EU country can't just order a US company to disband. And the result of anti-trust to begin with isn't to destroy companies, they want to level the playing field and open the door for more companies to compete properly.

I used to get slammed with so many requests that my boss had to tell the sales team to reduce the number of questions and only ask highest priority ones. Analytics teams serve a lot of different teams in an org, and the requests can really pile up.

Peer pressure is a real phenomenon, and there is a point here when that peer pressure is manufactured by the company itself to get people to buy their stuff.
It is interesting that in this case "pro-competitive" does not necessarily mean "pro-consumer". I am not sure how stuff like "super apps" are a good thing for consumers (sounds like a nightmare mass surveillance scenario to me). Similar cloud streaming apps where the whole fuss is really about microtransactions in games or less regulation. Message interoperability is not a bad thing, but not sure why we still talk about "MMS" in 2024 when so many different chat apps are around. I don't know about smartwatches, maybe that is a fair point. And as for digital wallets, I already trust apple for the OS, I would not see why I would put the effort to download an extra app from a third party I would need to also trust to put bank details, except if we were talking about some open source gold standard of trust and privacy. I do not care if it is apple or a third party that gets a commission from banks or who gets my transaction history to sell to brokers.

On the other hand, I would like to see interoperability in stuff like airdrop. But that would not be something that other FAANG would make money of, so that is probably not so interesting for these regulators.

Ask HN: Any Good Fuzzer for gRPC?
I have been using Schemathesis (https://github.com/schemathesis/schemathesis) for some time to test REST APIs and I have found it amazing. I love the ways it find unexpected bugs and it really help me have more confidence in my systems.I also love how it integrate directly with pytest but that's more of a cherry on the cake.

But now I am working with GRPC service I can't find anything similar. The few solutions I found are closed source and necessitate to integrate with 3rd party platforms.I found that strange as GRPC as RPC seem perfect for fuzzing.

I would posit that the ability to distil complex concepts into concise phrases is prevalent across various cultures and languages. Isn't it true for our Western idioms, like the popular 'YOLO' or 'Carpe Diem' (or even the very French 'raison d'être' itself)?

These terms, mostly void of any formal philosophical roots, are ways of defining and affirming the value of life within our linguistic and cultural contexts. Who's to say that future generations, whether foreign or native, won't feel a sense of novelty or exoticism in analysing these phrases of old, much like the discussion surrounding 'ikigai' today?

I doubt that. What has been proven clearly in the industry is that FOSS works excellently as a way for businesses to collaborate on common infrastructure. Linux is by far the biggest success in this area, but there are also things like Kubernetes, clang, Python and others.

What does not work, not long term, is trying to build a business around selling a FOSS solution - RedHat is probably the only notable exception here. But having multiple companies invest in a common tool that they all use as part of their infrastructure has worked wonders.

Not always, e.g. in a multi threaded situation where x and y are shared atomics. Then unless we authorize C++ to take more liberties in reordering, another thread will never see y as 7 while x is not yet 4 in the first example, but not the second. This kind of subtlety can't be determined from syntax alone.

Yes, sorry, I was sloppy in my comment. I meant, say in the case of Cloudflare or Tailscale, I don’t need to open any ports, or operate any server. The server, its firewall and security are outsourced to those companies. They take care of configuring and securing the internet-facing component. The clients make outbound connections, and the company takes care of handling inbound.

This is similar to running your own VPN server, vs using what’s called zero trust network access with services provided by companies such as Cloudflare.

Cloudflare tunnels are simple, robust and include a range of features: various authentication options, a secure internet-facing webpage in Cloudflare Access, DDoS mitigation, IP hiding, DNS and domain setup, etc . If they don’t decrypt and scan the traffic, that’s how an ideal solution would look like.

> Consciousness (at least, consciousness(es) that we are familiar with) seems to occur at a certain scale. Conscious states doesn't seem to significantly covary with noisy schocastic activities of individual cells and such; rather it seems to covary at with macro-level patterns and activities emerging from a population of neurons and stuffs. We are not aware of how we precisely process information (like segmenting images, detecting faces, recognizing speeches), or perform actions (like precise motor controls and everything). We are aware of things at a much higher scale. However, consciousness doesn't seem to exist at an overly macro-level scale either (like, for example, we won't think that USA is conscious).

They are being degraded, just slowly.

> Is that a theory to you, or do you have first hand knowledge?

It's not a theory of mine, you can find the explanation in practically any explanation of what "microplastics" are.

> If I have understood your position correctly, this is certainly counterintuitive... because if there is not much plastic bag left, you'd think that whatever broke down the bag, would also be able to break down these smaller bits (microplastics)

That's correct, and it eventually happens, the process is just very slow, let me try explaining it to you:

Plastics are made of very long polymer chains, composed of the same small molecule (monomer) chained together millions of times. Let's assume we have a plastic for which half[1] of the connections break down in 50 years. If I'm not messing the math up, it means that every year you lose roughly 1% of the connections between the molecule. So, after one year, your chain of 1 million molecules have been cut in 10,000 smaller piece of 100 monomers. Then the next year, there's again 10,000 connections that will break (~1% of the remaining 990,000 connections), but this time it will just double the number of pieces (if you cut a piece 10 times, you and up with 11 pieces, if you have again 10 scissor hits on the next 11 pieces, you'll end up with 21 pieces).

Of course my model is not entirely accurate because I looked only at the 1D molecular structure, when plastics are actually 3D meshes of these chains, so multiple chains are holding one another and it slows down the macroscopic effect, but you should get the idea of why it first degrades relatively quickly at macro scale and then slower at smaller scale.

[1] half times are a good way to model degradations of chemical compounds, at least the “spontaneous” ones, but keep in mind it's a model: it's not flawless and it's not able to describe every degradation phenomenon (for instance it fails to describe degradation from microorganisms that can grow on a substrate they are degrading hence the “spontaneous” qualifier above).
Must be a regional thing. Where I live in Europe, MMS were just too expensive to use regularly, roughly 5-10x more expensive than SMS, and they came roughly around the time when phones were slowly getting simple email clients and usable data (GPRS and sane pricing).

I’m around 30, I grew up with a dad who was a fan of modern phones and technologies (first camera phones, Windows smartphones, PDAs) so I always had fancy phones, and I’ve received < 20 MMS in my whole life.
Are you sure about this? I would think that people listening to lesser known artists would listen to more music overall, making each of their plays worth less - discovery itself takes time, music is likely a larger part of their life, and basic novelty from a wider variety means less getting bored with the whole medium. I'd say the guy in the original article is seemingly an analogous situation as a small artist with a dedicated fan base, so that he was able to direct $315k at his "artist" would seem to indicate that the current method is actually more beneficial for small artists.

I think that the idea of not initiating writeback immediately derives mostly from the days of spinning rust, where read latencies would be noticeably impacted if you initiated writeback too aggressively: reads, contrary to writes, are synchronous by default, and spinning rust rarely allowed high (by modern standards) IOPS, so it made a lot of sense to buffer writes as much as possible to minimize the number of I/O operations spent on writes, as this would leave as many of those IOPS as possible available for reads.

This is probably much less of a concern today, as NVMe drives - beside having many orders of magnitude higher IOPS capacity - also have (at least on paper) much better hardware support for high I/O concurrency. It may still make sense, even today, if your hardware (or stack) limits IOPS.
