Oslo accords were almost entirely concessions from the Palestinian side. There were no meaningful concessions on the Israeli settlement policy. Not only that, you had stuff like Ariel Sharon encouraging people to settle all the land while they can. It was hard to really take in good faith.

And yes, with Arafat and the PLO seen as "selling out", as well as Baruch Goldstein's terror attack fanning the flames, Hamas was born and started their suicide attacks. I am not approving any of that of course, but the notion of "it failed because Hamas terrorism" is outright historical revisionism.

Peter Thiel is enriching himself, fully aware that he's participating in ethnic cleansing, violence, and mass murder. If you see the video in the sibling comment, it's clear that he knows the evil he's working for, he is trading in the suffering of humanity for his own profit. And he knows we know.

I would not claim which project has the best trademark policy to emulate. My comment is mostly to illustrate how a software license is handled separated from trademark agreements and that practically every major free software project and non-profit foundation has a trademark policy. The FSF/OSI guides are also very illustrative in how those communities view trademark law compared to copyright law.

The Mozilla trademark dispute is mostly an example of a non-profit free software community being in a trademark dispute with an other non-profit free software community, and which initial solution was simple and direct. Changing the name and icon resolved the disputed until 10 years later where Mozilla lawyers decided that the Debian version was close enough to Mozilla version that it could be argued as being identical, in which the package returned to using the trademarks owned by Mozilla. I am not sure if people really despise Mozilla for it, but I recall that people found it a major waste of time. There is just so much energy that people will spend arguing about a name and an icon.
Didn’t expect this to show up on hackernews! Didn’t know there were so many lingling fans here.

Not only that, but it doesn't work on Google Chrome releases, only the (upstream) Chromium, and Google Chrome canary. Very few people use raw Chromium all by its lonesome and I would guess only for testing/development, not downloading random extensions.
I'm not saying Europeans don't commute by car, but distances are so much smaller that even a plugin can go electric only. Also vans aren't that many and go even less as commuter vehicle, and pickups (or trucks for that matter) aren't a thing at all - I'm not sure I've seen even one during the entire last month.
Account recovery flows are generally entirely unaffected by the move from password to passkey.

It’s just your login credential.

If you lose either a password or a passkey, you do the same thing: reset and set a new one via email recovery.

> Maybe we will see the widespread use of 128-bit computers during our lifetimes.

Not at current rates of demand. During the 80s and 90s demand for RAM increased a thousandfold per decade, from 1 KB to 1 MB to 1 GB by 2000-ish. At that rate we'd expect normal users to exceed a 64-bit address space by the 2040s. But instead demand has slowed dramatically, and after 20 years a power user might only have 64 gigs, or 128 if they're feeling spicy. Apple is still selling computers with only 8 gigs of un-upgradeable RAM. And as for virtual memory, I doubt that consumer machines have any legitimate reason to chafe against the 16-exabyte limit (until such time as we're selling zettabyte hard drives, which is fantasy at this point). Servers and supercomputers might be a different story, but even servers are going to be loath to pay the cost of halving the speed of ordinary operations just to double the addressable memory space.
a pretty evident case of not almost got caught
Random factoid I picked up from The Machinery of Life: how do various proteins inside a cell know to find and bind to a specific chemical or protein they need? They don't - everything inside a cell just constantly bumps into everything else, and because of how fast things move at this scale, it doesn't take long for any single thing to touch approximately every other thing inside the cell. I.e. turns out random walk is a viable search mechanism at nanometer scale.

The privacy battle has to be at the legal layer. GDPR is far from perfect (bureaucratic and unclear with weak enforcement), but it's a step in the right direction.

In an adversarial environment, especially with both AI scrapers and AI posters, websites have to be able to identify and ban persistent abusers. Which unfortunately implies having some kind of identification of everybody.
Target runtime comparison
Each of these runtimes has its own peculiarities, but would it be possible to make a ranking of the target runtimes starting from the one that could support more features and paradigms?

In my opinion:

1. LLVM

2. GraalVM (with Truffle)

3. CLR

4. JVM

5. BEAM

If you had to choose a target runtime for a programming language that supports as many features and paradigms as possible, which one would you choose?

The choice is not limited to previous runtimes only.
That's cool! I often end up reading many reviews to get a good perspective. I live in Germany, when will the restaurants in Germany be presented in the same way?
Pretty much every dysfunction of this society can be traced back to this attitude. Social responsibility to other people beyond your own kin is necessary to produce a society worth living in.

I'm curious if you count Pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) as not being "in town" or if it has issues with user freedom that I'm ignorant of.
Most likely, it is something they don’t test because it isn’t officially supported.
Here's my conjecture: doing so is not in the interests of labour. So to the extent that labour has power, it would tend to act differently.
You’re right, but if I can extrapolate from myself to most adults, that’s approximately never.

I think I’ve done that once in the last 10 years, and I spend a fair bit of time in the woods.
This is a pretty wild claim, you're gonna need better evidence than strident rhetorical posturing to back that one up.
Perhaps not applicable to a hidden web browser in counter strike but for public webpages you can apply the same fingerprint technique and only include the payload on _some_ page loads for non-fingerprinted users.

Has a very nice advantage of if they go looking for fingerprinting they may or may not find it by random chance. It is security through obscurity but by making the bar higher for ban evasion you did actually remove a lot of people.
But not necessarily less buggy or more useful than the counterparts (if there even are any).
The problem is actually in the payment system itself. A credit card number + expiry + ccv + name is essentially like giving out a username + password to your money. We hand out the same username / password to everybody and everything works on the honor system after that. At any given time there are likely hundreds of companies that have your username/password and can charge whatever they want at any time. If anything looks fishy, is up to you to investigate and get charges reversed.

Instead, I should be able to seamlessly create new credentials per vendor with expiration and limits. I should also be able to stop payment at any time.

Similar here. It's not unusual to be blocked from a site by CloudFlare when I'm running Firefox (either ESR or current release) on Linux.

I suspect that people operating Web sites have no idea how many legitimate users are blocked by CloudFlare.

And. based on the responses I got when I contacted two of the companies whose sites were chronically blocked by CloudFlare for months, it seemed like it wasn't worth any employee's time to try to diagnose.

Also, I'm frequently blocked by CloudFlare when running Tor Browser. Blocking by Tor exit node IP address (if that's what's happening) is much more understandable than blocking Firefox from a residential IP address, but still makes CloudFlare not a friend of people who want or need to use Tor.

Way back someone observed that the problem was not computers thinking like people, but people thinking like computers.

I believe we've been getting a bit of the latter.
I remember Matchbox cars and had a few. I mainly had Hot Wheels and a few off-brand toy cars. And I kept all my 1:64 cars in a carrying case with Fast 111s branding, another die-cast line by Kenner whose gimmick was tiny license plate decals on the rear of each vehicle, each with a random state and number.

But Matchbox really sticks out in my mind as the manufacturer of the die-cast Voltron toy that every kid wanted in the mid-1980s -- and only rich kids got; at $60 in 1985 or nearly $175 in today's dollars, that shit's steep. I did end up with the Panosh Place plastic Voltron. It was plastic, and the lions didn't combine in a show-accurate way to form Voltron, but I didn't care, it was Voltron.

These days, we have Transformers from Robosen that transform on their own and respond to voice commands -- so rich kids' Christmases are on a whole 'nother level now.

If you think ethics is “bureaucracy” and “useless classes”, you’re pretty loudly shouting that you needed that instruction.

The problem with leaving it to parents is that parents are not uniformly qualified or interested in doing so, and it’s in society’s best interests not to leave important things to chance.

It was said here too, but that doesn't make HN the source.

4chan gets a lot of credit as the origin for various things which I don't think it deserves most of the time.
AI crawlers have changed the picture significantly and in my opinion are a much bigger threat to the open web than Cloudflare. The training arms race has drastically increased bot traffic, and the value proposition behind that bot traffic has inverted. Previously many site operators could rely on the average automated request being net-beneficial to the site and its users (outside of scattered, time-limited DDoS attacks) but now most of these requests represent value extraction. Combine this with a seemingly related increase in high-volume bots that don't respect robots.txt and don't set a useful User-Agent, and using a heavy-handed firewall becomes a much easier business decision, even if it may target some desirable traffic (like valid RSS requests).
The product isn’t released, so I don’t think we know what is or isn’t good.

Heck, I cannot even pass ReCAPTCHA nowadays. No amount of clicking buses, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights, stairs, crosswalks, bridges and fire hydrants will suffice. The audio transcript feature is the only way to get past a prompt.
Growing up in the 1960s we called them all Dinky Toys. Dinky was the best: they even had die-cast UFO SHADO interceptors and Space:1999 Eagles in the 1970s when I was too old for such things (but still secretly coveted them).
Don’t most games with expensive cosmetics lock them behind paywalls?

I assume there is lots of cheating because of every game having matchmaking system for fair with rankings. And there’s a huge amount of people that feel locked into low ranking because of bad teammates (which makes no sense statistically speaking), and if they just bump something they would do well.

There’s others who just want to showoff an high ranking.

And the guys that just want a cheap win, at the expense of ruining everyone else game.

And then there’s the business of this. Cheat tool makers making money of these lind of people. High ranking players selling boosting services or high ranking accounts (smurfing and cheating feels very similar on the loosing side). And even the high ranking players selling player providing boosting can cheat to perform the service in less time.

Skill based matchmaking with any form of public ranking (showing a number or tier) will always be full of people trying to game the system instead of trying to get better at the game. Specially in team games.

> Yes, what Isreal is doing is bad, but not "murdering women and babies on purpose" bad!

They are murdering children on purpose. Check the recent NY Times article by American doctors who worked in Gaza. Nearly all of them dealt with children shot in the head or in the chest on almost a daily basis. It is impossible to deny at this point that Israel is carrying out an extermination campaign there if not outright genocide.
I guess this is the first time I’ve seen “founder mode” as a new thing, apparently I’m out of touch. But from what I’ve read and how it matches up with my experience with horrible management in the past, driving down micromanagement and all that, all it is is a fear response. Fear about not having control, fear about not having hired correctly, fear the you’re not as influential as you’ve deluded yourself to be, and on and on, that’s all I can see here. This guy is so wrapped up with having to dictate everything he has to make it miserable for the people that should actually be doing stuff, you know, the people he hired.

If you want to have impact, do less! Have a clear vision above all, be able to articulate it, rally people behind you, micromanagement “founder mode” is just a bandaid over poor fearful, leadership. Sure, micromanage your startup of five people, after that you should have the discretion to hire people to carry out your vision. Otherwise, just get out, you’ll just make your life and everyone else’s less miserable otherwise.
That can still exhaust system resources on the box it's running on (file descriptors, inodes, ports, CPU/memory/bandwidth, etc) if you hit it too big.

For something like entirely static content, it's so much easier (and cheaper, all of the static hosting providers have an extremely generous free tier) to use static hosting.

And I say this as an SRE by heart who runs Kubernetes and Nomad for fun across a number of nodes at home and in various providers - my blog is on a static host. Use the appropriate solution for each task.

Another famous example of this is the KLF who did they same. They also set fire to 1 million pound sterling of their royalties at the same time, so it was more an art thing than a bad business decision.
