In point 3, "It was never about winning", he says he might have disagreed with this statement "earlier in his racing career".

Looks like he's also made everything non-public. Way too much bad publicity, so he'll probably do it again under a different organization. Cause now when someone searches for this "Sahomey Technologies" they find out he's blatantly copying github repos to pad his business.

On a side note, this person has 132 repos on his profile. They're probably trying to game the whole thing to make it seem like they have an active Github profile.
I don't think what happened in SV is completely unique though. I live on the other coast and the price of housing maybe isn't as bad as SV but it is still outrageous.

It is, at least on Linux for ordinary pipe(2) pipes.

I just wrote up a test to be sure: in the process with the read side, set it to non-blocking with fcntl(p, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK) then go to sleep for a long period. Dump a bunch of data into the writing side with the other process: the write() call blocks once the pipe is full as you would expect.
That’s to be expected with any bootstrapped language. What’s insane is how relatively recent a version some of the GNU tools depend on, with one version in there depending on itself!

I think it’d be a good policy for any bootstrapped tool or language’s build to depend on no later than the last released previous major version. Intermediate bootstrap levels (e.g. miniperl) are fine, as long as one can start from the previous major.
I've read a few Russian novels in English, and had heard of Pevear and Volokhonsky while hunting around for translations but never landed on one by them. I'm a big fan of the Norton Critical Editions for literature, they're well edited and full of context that is hard to gather on your own.

Their edition of The Brothers Karamazov [0] (translated by Susan McReynolds) stands in my memory as being a pleasure to read and ponder...definitely a book that stays with you over time.

This comparison makes no sense
Not annoying at all. I'm more annoyed by people just letting me keep making the same mistake without saying anything. In fact when I first wrote that something in my brain said maybe it wasn't right, so I looked up the word "scruples" and saw the definition "motivation deriving logically from ethical or moral principles that govern a person's thoughts and actions." I thought maybe that it might be a valid interpretation for the ethical or moral principles to be flawed in that context. What I should have done was look up examples of "lack of scruples" being used in sentences; that would have made it clear that I wasn't using it right.

Maemo really was impressive, and to think how far it could be with more than a decade development and refinements had Nokia managed keep that team on it.

Sailfish OS still seems to be going, and latest and installable on Sony Xperia 10 V. Though that is based on Meego which was what replaced Maemo and ended up on the Nokia N9 and was no longer Debian based IIRC.

Tizen OS was the other offshoot of Meego and Samsung was working with it, but they appear be abandoning it.

My first instinct would say if someone pulls out I hope that would finally spur some competition. You don't need to apply anti-trust to companies that don't operate in your market. Maybe a competing video platform or phone operating system would get a chance at organic growth.

> The US jobs market is crazy

Depends on skillset as well. The biggest driver for jobs moving abroad is the fact that most CS programs no longer require low level or backend knowledge (distributed systems, OS internals, networking, database internals, C/C++) or teach it at a very high level.

Meanwhile, universities in CEE, Israel, India, etc still club CE and CS into a single degree (NAND to Tetris to React), making students much more well rounded for tech roles.

For example, my alma mater (Ivy League or Ivy Tier) stopped requiring the OS/Systems Programming class that made you diffuse the GDB bomb or truly understand how malloc works. Same thing at other peer universities except EECS@Cal, CS/ECE@UIUC, and CS/ECE@CMU.

I'm not sure if it will actually happen. But the theoretical "problem" with these "X% of worldwide revenue" fines is that they change the calculus of launching an existing product in Europe. It makes it so that if a company enters the EU they risk it being a net negative to revenue.
IKEA furniture quality has dropped severely in recent years. Even their solid wood pine furniture has dropped in quality. You can find better quality furniture at Walmart these days.

McDonald's, a non-failing firm, not owned by PE, was once described by a former CFO thusly: "We are not technically in the food business. We are in the real estate business." They realised that owning the land upon which their restaurants, allowed them to succeed.

Red Lobster's PE firm, on the other hand, did the exact opposite: sold the most valuable asset out from under their restaraunts, to another PE firm, which then squeezed the restaraunts on rent and ruined their store economics (along with the aforementioned supplier further ruining their unit economics) until they went out of business.

EU has realised American companies have become highly optimised wealth extraction machines and aren't providing nearly as much value as they are extracting, while also violating local privacy laws and skirting taxes.

The value void that Uber leaves will easily be filled, which is merely an app to buy services that have existed as long as the horse and cart. Keeping Uber benefits no one in the EU.

The problem is necessary vs sufficient.

Paying is not sufficient to guarantee non-enshittification business models, but it is necessary to make them even possible. If users are price anchored on "free" then it is impossible to found or operate a company that attempts to put users first. If software and services must be free then all tech companies must sell out their users. This in turn pushes the industry to normalize these practices, which is what has happened.

I also think this explains what I call the paradox of Apple-- they are the only big tech company left that even tries to be pro-user and respect privacy, and they are also the most closed ecosystem with taxes via the App Store on all kinds of things. Their expensive closed ecosystem allows them to operate this way.

Apple still might give into greed and become an ad company eventually, but my point is that they would have no choice but to sell out their users if it were not for the direct revenue model they have.

What Doctorow doesn't admit or address is that software is very expensive, especially software that ordinary non-geeks can actually use. Who is going to pay for it?

Most of the people on this site also don't get this because they are "computer people." If you're on HN chances are computers are not confusing to you. They are incredibly confusing and hard to use for everyone else, and making software that makes them easy to use requires orders of magnitude more effort than making software that just works for nerds.

As before, cases will go to the actual authority on the matter: the CJUE. I personally don't have high hopes for this deal to last.

The problem with most IKEA furniture is that it's just not meant to last or be disassembled and reassembled for resale, otherwise it just falls apart. It fits with the disposable lifestyle of young urbanites who move in the big cities rentals and want to buy modern looking furniture on the cheap.
I doubt it. Besides Apple, none has even complained very loudly, and even Apple just did it in order to garner some sympathy points from the fans. That is, for marketing reasons. The fact is that none of this legislative stuff, this basic level of consumer protection in the EU is in any way a dealbreaker or a significant hindrance to big tech, merely a cost of doing business.
Basing the claim, "you're probably extrapolating from a small sample size" on only your experience, is extrapolating from a small sample size.

They interacted with a local subsidiary. Being subsidiaries of an American company does not mean that they get to ignore local laws. Funnily enough, even Americans get to follow the rules in other countries.

So they sent their documents to the local company, which in turn transferred them overseas. I really fail to see how this is the drivers’ fault.

I never had a problem disassembling, moving and reassembling even their cheapest pieces of furniture. I think their reputation for falling apart comes from trying to move them fully assembled.

Last week I had to move a 3 door kleppstad from one room to another, and I think I made a good decision to take off the doors to reduce the weight as much as possible without fully taking it apart. But if this piece of furniture needs to move any further then I'm fully disassembling it. I would rather not risk taking it down the stairs fully assembled.
>building alternatives takes time and resources. the EU has neither.

This is kind of a FUD fueled false dichotomy, when the truth is we can't know if the EU doesn't have time or resources if it never tries.

What the US has that EU doesn't is the infinte money to throw in the bonfire at moonshot projects knowing that 99% will fail and the 1% will be hugely successful, but now the market is mature with less untapped opportunities, and the EU doesn't have to spend like the US did to achieve the same results, since we now know what works and what doesn't and how to make an Uber that's compliant with local regulations while using less money.

It's possible to achieve a similar effect in the browser. The <script> element doesn't have any Content-Type restrictions; it won't reject something outright solely on the basis you serve it something other than application/javascript. So if you managed to point it at an HTML file that's also valid JS (and you can manage to do that, since the set of all possible HTML inputs and the set of all possible JS programs isn't disjoint)... You can use components and libraries in your app that are pages/programs unto themselves, and in particular ones that are self-describing.

Imagine having in front of you a webpage that doesn't work the way you want. You use View Source in your browser, find the URL of some component written in JS that probably contains the offending logic, navigate to that URL, and the source code for that library unfolds on your screen and is free to do whatever it wants to best present itself to you for your understanding. This could include doing syntax highlighting for you (rather than the default black-on-white text that most browsers use when showing you a JS file), putting helper widgets on the screen (e.g. object/configuration inspectors), other on-screen editor components e.g. for any DSLs used in the file, base64-encoded data, etc.

Or imagine a file that knows that it was compiled from TypeScript and knows where the TypeScript source that it was compiled from lives. When you open the URL for the compiled form in your browser, when it loads it dynamically fetches the original .ts sources from elsewhere on the server and then puts that on the screen—maybe even going so far as to put it inside an editor that forms a TypeScript playground.
