HSTS won't prevent this at all; the advertiser merely needs to also set up TLS by getting a certificate for that subdomain, which they can already do precisely because it goes to their web server -- not yours. This also lets them steal cookies marked secure (sent over HTTPS only).

Edit: A combination of DNS CAA with an account identifier restriction in the record would prevent this. Then the advertiser would complain, and any ads served would have to be over plaintext, which would cause browser warnings about mixed content and allow MITM injection of (more) malicious content.
Suddenly babies can be born without parents to advocate for and protect them, opening them up to exploitation. Persons can be born en mass, in factories, genetically engineered, as in Brave New World. Men and women no longer have families as anchoring purposes with some sort of corporate overlord as 'parent'. That's not a human life. I think this should be obvious to people and obvious why premature care is not the same thing.
This isn't just about which store is a monopoly, but about what companies choose to do with that fact.

Google is (was) free to only ship Google Play on Pixel phones, just as Apple only ships the App Store on their iPhones. What Google wasn't allowed to do was to "bribe" and force carriers and OEMs to favor Google Play over other stores. This is what they did, and now they have to face consequences.

The business models are very different here. Apple makes their own phones with their own OS, and can do with them as they please. In Android land, however, it's other companies making the phones, using a custom fork of the open source Android operating system, and Google is engaging in anticompetitive behavior by pushing these companies into Google Play if they want to get any of the other Google services on that OS.
I think I need a "kill list" when I'm just not engaged with the book.

There have actually been plenty of books that probably had elements on the list, but were thought provoking, entertaining, or had excellent character development or some other novelty that I didn't even think of stopping.

It's also interesting to look at the list when you're thinking about continuing with book 2 or book 3.
Idk how you fix that without effecting store brands at grocery stores.

And I think store brands are pretty mostly a win for the consumer (this is important for any monopoly case).

Wardriving! It's back, baby!
Dude I read it in 8th grade. That was close to 30 years ago. All I remember about the book was the rant about cigarette brands at the train station and some notions about selfishness being a moral good or some such nonsense. It didn't speak to me then, and every time I've been dared to read it I've been bored to sleep.

Now as for why I do this? This book creates such a wild reaction in people that it's an effective tool for sorting out radicals, purity commissars, and generally annoying people. And it works.

I don't actually care about the book. I don't understand why people care about the book. I care about keeping pains in the ass out of my life. And, let's be honest here, the feeling is clearly mutual with some of these people.

And people here clutching at pearls over a white lie?

People find ways to self select with all sorts of methods. Mine doesn't involve immutable characteristics, and I prefer it that way.

IANAChemist, but to extend the cheesy analogies chemical bonds are like joint custody in a divorce; two atoms share one or more electrons. If it's split more or less evenly then it's called a covalent bond. If it's stacked in one atom's favor then it's called ionic. If it's kind of in a gray area in the middle then its called a polar covalent bond. [1]

Adhesion, even due to electrostatic or van Der Waal's forces, doesn't cause an electron to be shared [2].

To switch up the analogy (again, IANAC): as I understand it chemical bonds are like a couples thing; if you invite one you have to invite the other, and if you are interested in replacing a chemical bond with one of the atoms you need to first tear the couple apart. That's because chemical bonds share an electron; to share a particular electron with a new atom you need to stop sharing with the first one. (Sort of. I believe it's a lot more complicated than that, with group marriages and such.)

Adhesion is more like a friendship thing. You might hang out together, but there's no intimiate involvement. The electronic bonds are still available, so each each substance can do its normal chemical reaction thing with other atoms.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

[2] Despite my previous cheesy analogy, electrostatic adhesion is the real static-cling force, not van Der Waal's. (But electrostatic adhesion isn't what makes sticky tape sticky, van Der Waals is.) The former is between entire molecules or groups of molecules, one group having a total positive charge compared to the other. van Der Waal's is pin-point attraction between local differences in molecular charge distribution, and each molecule in total might be electrically neutral. For example, a neutral water molecule has two highly-positive areas near the Hydrogen atoms and a highly-negative region away from them.
No of course not. You're not dangerous...if so, uh, I am logged into a random stranger's Hacker News account. :)

Kidding aside friend, I get the feeling you've been hurt in the past and that's really sad. I can't change any of that. But I can tell you that you're a pretty cool person in the present and you can attract other cool people by being authentically you. Consider your list of favourite books - you're fricking cool.

If you're authentically you, you will get burned and that's sad. But in a way, you're burning other people to keep from being burned.

Thanks for this talk - I enjoy you.
This really looks like it was generated via an LLM + crawler.
I can definitely see that happening, but there have been examples of where large companies support broader market access over exclusivity.

For example, Google Maps isn't limited to Android, even though it could drive more Android sales. Instead, it's available on iOS because the potential market loss outweighs the benefits of exclusivity.

Companies are unlikely to limit apps to their own stores if the cost of shrinking their user base is too high. The key factor will be whether consumers are willing to switch platforms for specific apps.

1. AFAIK no government, even authoritarian ones, coerced a CA to misissue a certificate. There have, however, been plenty of other ways governments are able to get certificates, like seizing the domains/servers.

2. Even if they did, chrome has enforced certificate transparency, so a gag order on the CA/CT provider would simply result in the certificate being rejected.
Anyone here know customers affected? I'm wondering if Seam could build a LoRaWAN gateway and get these guys out of this mess.
>allowing any third-party app stores

Couldn't you reword that as allowing unsigned and self signed software to be installed? You can push your own apps to your iOS device but iirc Apple artificially limits the number of self signed apps that can be installed
> I think punishing the more open platform and not the completely closed one will just incentivize companies to develop completely closed platforms from the beginning. And I don't see how that's actually good for consumers.

I certainly agree, the problem from the legal standpoint is that stuff google was doing was too close to stuff that other companies have gotten in trouble for one way or another.

> The best outcome would be to force both to open up more.

Agreed.

In postgres, the limit query can sometimes result in poor performance if the table statistics are not kept up to date. You can run `ANALYZE tablename` to refresh the stats manually, but the autovacuum process should do this periodically if configured correctly.

I have tried emulating ARM Windows on x86 with QEMU. It is fast enough to see whether something works and not much more (imagine Windows 11 on a 400MHz equivalent processor to understand what the performance was like --- and the host was a fairly recent Intel i7.)

ARM Linux is close to usable, however.
I don't think the new manifest rules are because of any actual restriction or the engine, maybe I'm wrong but it was my impression that the change is mostly just Google wanting to control what users can do with their browsers even more (and always in ways that make them profit of course). So they should be able to keep V2 support if they're willing to be on the hook for keeping it maintained themselves.

> an enormous boom in quality content has been produced

Hard disagree. The rate of quality content that I actually want to watch is no higher than it was back when I could view it all on Netflix, but the difference now is that in order to watch it all I'd have to have four different subscription channels.

I'm honestly not even sure the content quality isn't lower now that everyone is producing it with the idea of selling their still-unprofitable streaming platform. Amazon sinks a billion dollars per season into Rings of Power and it shows—the showrunners are visibly torn between trying to tell a compelling story and trying to meet executives' demands that they compete with HBO and milk the Peter Jackson connections for all they're worth.
This is woefully outdated. Many SSID are not listed in their results.

From the TFA

> Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)

> Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store

> Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store

> Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

Have you really never ran into any apps that would have hit these restrictions ?

If you've never have use the Play Store in the first place that would be the case, but otherwise I'd assume every app you got from there are subjected to those.
yeah but even then, it's still just a contract. The legal math behind Cisco's decision might just be to extend support just long enough to meet obligations and tolerate the risk that the remaining customers might sue.
Is a rendering engine still a web browser if you remove all the chrome and extra features built around the rendering engine?

I would say not.

And it has a rendering engine: the iOS WebKit engine. It’s not Google’s preferred rendering engine and Chrome isn’t my choice of browser well, anywhere at all actually, but it’s still a functional web browser.

My gut feeling is there are still the same number of jobs for C++ today as there were in the 90s. It's just that they're hard to find because the total number of programming jobs has exploded. The reason you can't see the C++ jobs is because the newer, non-C++ jobs are crowding them out on job boards. [This is a hypothesis, one I haven't (dis)proven.]

For fun a few weeks ago I went looking for COBOL on VMS jobs. They're definitely still out there, but you do have to look for them. No one's going to send you an email asking if you're interested and if you don't hang out with COBOL/VMS people, you may not know they exist.

I think my point is the total number of C/C++ jobs today are probably the same or slightly higher than 1994. But the total number of Java and C# jobs (or Ruby or Elixr or JavaScript jobs) is dramatically higher than in 1994, if for no other reason than the fact these languages didn't exist in 1994.

[As an aside... if you're looking for a COBOL / VMS programmer/analyst... I spent much of the 80s as a VMS System Manager, coding custom dev tools in Bliss and some of the 90s working on the MicroFocus COBOL compiler for AIX. And while you would be crazy to ignore my 30+ years of POSIX/Unix(tm) experience, I think it would be fun to sling COBOL on VMS.]

I think if robots or even AI become the norm, a tax on business robots will be required. But its a big and complex issue.

But then, someone has to also repair and program the AI and robots. Hopefully theres a right to repair law to make sure jobs are created. Also product ownership... so many variables to the market.

Many large files that get downloaded are already compressed, so using compression during http response is pointless and just adds overhead.

If you need progress on a text file, then don't compress it while downloading. Text files that are small won't really need progress or compression.

If you're sending a large amount of data that can be compressed, then zip it before sending it, download-with-progress (without http compression), and then unzip the file in the browser and do what you need with the contents.

I'm sure there are probably other ways to handle it too.

I think it's more useful to think in context of vertical integration. Mobile phone software is very tightly vertically integrated such that a single company can control components that historically other companies were able to compete at providing.

Apple and Google not only control hardware, kernel, OS facilities, user land, software loading/download facilities, but also payments, code signing, and even venture into other forms of banking.

On top of that, they're actively blocking potential competitors to many (most) of those pieces.
> Everything you have bought on Android was illegally taxed

I can't even remember the last time I bought something on the Play Store. Nearly everything I've installed for years has been open source from F-Droid or was my own personal code that I wrote and loaded onto my phone without passing through any gatekeeper.

You can keep being condescending if it makes you happy, but you could also consider that maybe you don't know me?
Occams razor idea -- state actor spy balloon/drone + state actor hackers inside the power system?
I think the problem everyone is having is the government is seeing something that isn't there. We don't have a "lack of understanding" but are rather just so much more informed and educated then the legal system on this matter that we came to the correct conclusion while they failed to reach a basic understanding.
it's not about whether your platform is open or not, but about who's making the devices and what you're forcing them to do.

XBox is only made by Microsoft, there are no XBox OEMs, and Microsoft can do whatever they like to their devices. They're not forcing any manufacturer to do anything, because they are the manufacturer. Same with iPhones, Play Station consoles and so on.

Windows computers and Android phones are manufactured by many companies, and Microsoft and Google were engaging in anticompetitive behavior by forcing everybody who wanted their OSes to do certain things, and that's the problem here.
"The Selfish Gene" by Dawkins. Very succinct and beautiful explanations for evolution, which in turn explains why chaotic systems under a set of rules tend to spontaneously self organize.

Worth also noting that the nuclear weapons that Ukraine had were useless. All modern (post-1960s) nukes except the UK's are equipped with PALs [1]. Without the launch codes, they are just very expensive hunks of lithium deuteride. The launch codes for Ukraine's nukes remained with the KGB/FSB in Moscow throughout the breakup of the Soviet Union. They had essentially zero negotiating leverage, and as a result got essentially zero out of the negotiation.
