Simpler browsers sound not good to me. It's a bit of a rallying cry on HN it feels like, often in sharper terms.

But computing is so intermediated. There's so many checks to do anything on an iPhone that isn't in the dead code your phone already runs. An Oculus has cool experiences, but we can't shape and share our own easily. There's always someone else's data center between you and your device today.

The web is largely still an experience of data centers too. But it's a neutral platform. Where we can go to any data-center we please. Where anyone can tap the amazing web platform & it's amazing APIs to build all kinds of cool experiences.

In a world where tech defines what the user wants for them, I feel so much like the web & every web platform API is stealing just a little more fire from the gods. It's promethean, giving to humanity prowess & capabilities we wouldn't otherwise have.

The pace is confusing. Sometimes things happen fast. Often they are left sort of unfinished. Fast & slow, fast & slow. I'd love if there was a huge source of funding the societies of the world were putting up to help make this critical human capability, to to fund long careful slow healing and helping as well as fancy new features (es2015/esm modules in the browser tool sooo long & still has so much to fix for example). These things are hard, complicated, and we try so hard to keep going forward without causing too much unfixable undislodgesble bad. But this spirit of bravery is necessary, to keep going. Simpler isn't good. The versatility of the web is too important. There's no other viable substitutes for the capabilities being available on the web, no other paths we have to stealing fire from the gods, no other Promethean dreams. This platform is it, and we need the persistence & drive as a society to keep ourselves improving our shared interactive media form, to keep from being swallowed by the darkness that most computing brings in.
Why not just use Memcached, then? Memcached is much better as an ephemeral cache than Redis — Redis is single-threaded. The point of Redis is all of its extra features: if you're limiting yourself to Memcached-style usage, IMO you're using Redis wrong and should just use Memcached.
Shouldn't risk factor into the equation? If your soap dispenser breaks, yeah that sucks and it's maybe a little gross, but you can just replace it with you land. I struggle to imagine what rule about soap dispensers was written in blood.

Surely there's a more cost-effective happy medium somewhere between "just buy the Home Depot 2-for-1 special" and "we ran a background check on the guy who mined the metal"
Watermills are pretty limited technology, though. It is advantageous to build them on rivers in hilly terrain, which is usually far from the seaports that are used for trade. Hilly terrain is also often agriculturally subpar, therefore you need to import food for the workers from the lowland, making the operation more expensive.

Finally, medieval watermills cannot produce heat, which is absolutely necessary for production of iron and steel. Which means that you cannot increase production of iron and steel beyond pre-modern levels, a major obstacle in development of technical civilization.
Would've been believable before the MV3 adblock ban fiasco. Now it's clear this browser doesn't care about the users.
Anecdotally, it takes far less strength training than one would expect, too, to maintain muscle mass. From what I've experienced, 30 minutes a week, given sufficient stimulus, is enough.
Your belief in the infallible nobility of NATO belies a vested interest in ignoring its massive, undeniable war crimes, crimes against humanity and violations of human rights at massive scale, as an organization, this century.

>Unlike the Ukrainians, NATO/US were smart enough

I do not concur with this glib assessment one bit.

Forbes 30U30 to prison pipeline keeps on keeping on.
Had. NS2 was almost two years ago. Your current Biden assessment may be correct, but two years ago there was a great deal more lucidity, when he stated that "no matter what, the NS2 pipeline will not be allowed to persist" ..
I mean yes, that’s a big part of what distinguishes luxury goods. Again, luxury doesn’t mean better.

When I say machine quality, though, I’m referring to their titanium and aluminum. I’ve machined some aluminum and know people who have done titanium. It’s really hard, and they do it well.

What does that add to the user experience? I can’t say it’s anything tangible. But I appreciate it. That’s luxury. It’s orthogonal to utility in many ways.

I think it's just replacing what a a good Library or Bookstore would have given you in previous times: cross reading many different books, without having to commit and pay upfront. The assumption that I'm going to pay for a book upfront without being able to leaf through it from front to back is preposterous.
Absolutely, in the unlikely scenario you have presented, a do-over is definitely the resolution, that goes without saying, will add this clarification on the site. Thank you for your feedback.
I made a similar thing once to relay UDP traffic over WebSocket and it supports Cloudflare if needed: https://github.com/ameshkov/udptlspipe

The use case is to relay WireGuard over TCP/CF in a restrictive network, confirmed to work in China, obviously not too fast.

Nothing has changed.

These people have been performing the same shtick - Pick complex issues and reduce it to us Vs them.

Greenwald used to atleast do some journalism back then. Not anywhere.

As a student I used to follow their routines every night during the Iraq War/G W Bush days. Nodding away. But the longer that went on, it got harder and harder to ignore how pointless, time wasting and energy draining their whole shtick is. The only "value" is in reinforcing how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is.

Media needs to move past propping up these kind of people.

Its easier to get a healthier and nuanced understanding about complex stuff from ChatGPT than such people these days.
I agree. The DOJ should stick to imposing fines or enforcing rules on things like bundling or pricing. Not arbitrarily breaking companies up where there's no clear business model.
> Only because those people can't find somewhere to live that's near work.

Also because there aren't adequate transit options to use instead of driving.
You can definitely pirate IAP. Back in the day it was as easy as using a proxy. Nowadays you need to inject 3rd party software into the app.
Yes. I believe they would not recognise them by cover but would think "crap I've read this before" when getting to a certain part of the plot.
If you say “cost overrun” 3 times in a row, Elon Musk will appear to install the soap dispenser from Home Depo himself, insult some people and then only charge half what Boeing did. The first time it is used in flight it will explode because as it wasn’t rated for pressure, blinding the pilot and leading to the loss of the aircraft. Musk insults trans people before losing interest in the whole thing, and trump assigns RFK Jr to dismantle “big hygiene”.
Code that checks raw error strings is just plain bad and should be exempt from Go’s backwards compatibility guarantees. There is almost never an excuse for it, especially in stdlib.
You are typing that like mechanics would be constantly rebuilding engines and transmissions, while most of their main job are bumpers from minor crashes and cracked windshields.

A difficult problem, if you own a business then your "income" is completely manipulatable.

If your parents run a struggling corner store then you should be eligible, but if they own a successful chain of stores, maybe not.

Why not just say Income of 200K, or if you own a business then income + pre tax profits <=200K and book assets <500K or something?

Pace Veblen.. Usually strategy means deliberation, to me the PRC merely stumbled upon an effective & (relatively) nonviolent means of elite recycling.

To be fair, the US could have already run the experiments.. all that is needed is for Shoggoth to find the data
I'm with you and the previous commenter. People who feel "tricked" we're only fooled by their own blindness. Sorry, but then trying to garner sympathy for that is like being asked to feel bad for the stripper that takes her clothes off for money; they both 100% knew what they were getting into and no other reasonable expectations can be had from engaging in that situation.

Facebook has been around something like a decade, now? I forget the exact number, but it's been long enough that everyone should have learned their lesson at this point; if you are creating data, be it personal, geospatial or otherwise, by using a product expect that data to be used as a commodity by the makes of said product.

I have an autistic friend with dyscalculia. They see numeric digits as individual characters (as in a story), each with their own personalities. Each digit has its own color, its own feelings. But they are not quantities; they don't make up quantities. Numbers are very nearly opaque to them. I wonder how this theory would apply to them. Do they still perform mathematical thinking? They're still capable of nearly all the same logic that I am, and even some that I'm not (their synesthesia gives them some color/pattern/vibes logic that I don't have)... just not math.
Aren’t “rules and regulations” written by people under direction of a president, such that it is effectively the president’s work? Do they just stand on their own with no legal backing? Or do they want the president to be the one actually writing them all? Or is it his signature they want?

Undoing them isn’t just the same as undoing previous presidents’ work?
>Yeah in Europe you want to head for the main train stations or Park and Rides if you're spending time in cities. They usually have large car parks and good public transport.

I live in Europe. I have travelled in Europe immensely over the last 15 years. I would NEVER recommend anybody this strategy, ESPECIALLY if they're coming from outside the EU.
I frequently fall asleep with YouTube playing softly through airpods and end up intense lucid dreams with in-dream characters that my brain invents to embody the youtube voices. They talking about machining, string theory, and whatever else is going on in the video which is often strange when the plot of the dream doesn't actually match up with what they're saying (which is an easy trigger to make it lucid).

Mastodon has never really risen. Bluesky has also users that aren't so technical and therefore attracts a lot more others.

> One is that math nerds at school insisted on intimidating for the win and I just hated it.

Only an adult can look and see what that was - immature, insecure little boys, desperately trying to show off as bigger/more mature or kick down anybody showing any weakness or mistake. Often issues from home manifesting hard. Its trivial to look back without emotions, but going through it... not so much.

If my kids ever go through something similar (for any reasons, math nerds are just one instance of bigger issue) I'll try reasoning above, not sure if it will help though.

I looked it up, but I can't find any article claiming the judge had made a ruling yet. The most recent news I can find [1] simply states that the auction loser is making a legal challenge, and that a hearing will happen in the future (the date scheduled at the last hearing was nov. 25th). Do you have a reputable news source for that claim?

The connection from London to Exeter is better. From Plymouth to Exeter the line runs right along the coast and they don't seem to be able to improve the capacity or speed.

The HS2 money would probably be better spent fixing bottlenecks like that to improve the overall capacity, not just to put so many trains between London and Birmingham.
If some catastrophic event is required to define instability, then by definition any country will be stable right until one second before catastrophe. This may work fine for certain analyses, but for predicting if or when that event may happen it is useless.

You're saying "nothing bad will happen because nothing bad has happened so far". There's a first time for everything.

It's fair to criticize the DoJ if they're enforcing anti-trust laws in a poor manner.

"Professors" at a UK university are the most senior academic staff - mind you there does seem to be a move in some universities to move to US style job title where all academics are a professor of some kind.

When I worked in UK academia the hierarchy for permanent academic posts was something like: lecturer, senior lecturer, reader, professor.

I'm simply assuming that fancy submarines are well equipped to detect things that are trying to be quiet so detecting something like an active fishing boat and its trawl should surely not be difficult; especially when you already know that it is likely to be in the area.
Why would ability not be innate just because some people with the ability don't use it?

Or more specifically, two of my friends teach special needs children in the 50 to 70 IQ band. Who are we going to blame for them not becoming mathematicians? The teachers, for not unlocking their hidden potential? The kids, for not trying hard enough? Claiming that the only thing holding them back is choice seems as cruel as it is wrong, to me.

Yeah, we're probably not cultivating anywhere near the potential that we could, but I personally guarantee you I am not Ramanujan or Terence Tao.
An interesting topic is how to fight Hyrum's law.
A possibility is to add randomness in things you don't want people to rely on.
If I remember well, this is what the QUIC protocol does. Some fields are unused in the current version, but required by the specification to be set to random values, not null bytes, so that routers don't start relying on them to identify the packets.

EDIT.

I think I found the source: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9000#section-17.2.1

> The value in the Unused field is set to an arbitrary value by the server. Clients MUST ignore the value of this field. [...] Note that other versions of QUIC might not make a similar recommendation.

I think they call it "greasing", to prevent "ossification".
>> Do you really want to go back to the days of Microsoft controlling the browser? Or Apple?

I don’t see your point—are you advocating for Google? Why would selling Chrome automatically elevate Safari or Edge to the top? I highly doubt Microsoft, Apple, or Mozilla would be permitted to acquire Chrome anyway.

That said, while Chrome is undoubtedly a good product, let’s not forget: this is a company that owns the largest search engine, operates one of the biggest advertising platforms and provides the most popular browser. Plus Google Analytics, GMail and whatnot product I forgot from this network.

In what world is that not a inter-disciplinary monopoly that needs to be broken up?
"overcharged" is such an euphemism.

It's fraud. Both on the part of Boeing and on the part of whoever in government approved that.

800x markup doesn't just happen. You can sneak 10% or 20% surcharge but 800x is so obvious that it's only possible because everyone involved is in on the grift.

It's not a surprise to anyone at the Air Force, they just been getting away with this for so long that they don't even care to hide it. The corruption has been normalized.

Which is why Democrat's obsession with rising taxes and the "pay your fair share" rhetoric pisses me off so much.

Let's start by eliminating 800x waste, 100x waste, 20x waste, 10x waste, 5x waste, 2x waste from government spending and then let's how much money we need to run government. I suspect it would be much less than what US currently takes in taxes.
Intellect is like a gas, it will expand to fill its container. The container, in humans, is epigenetic and social — genetics only determines how hot or cold your gas is, ie how fast and how fluidly it expands, but you’re taught your limits — it’s best to see stupid as not how limited you are relative to other but what limits you have now and may abandon in the future.

That said, some people received a smaller starting container, and might need some help cracking it. That’s the work of those who think they’ve found a bigger one.

I chose an Intel CPU in 2023 because I thought it had better single-core performance, but now I have had to check it doesn't suffer from any of the stability issues etc.

In the future I'll just pick AMD, their handling of these stability issues has really damaged my trust in Intel.

Totally agree.

The government has so many tools for enforcement it's puzzling why they insist on arbitrarily breaking up and creating new companies as if they're capable of determining what business models will work or not.

The truth is that Russia has been making war preparations for a long time, also within the EU. In Finland even during the "good years" (between fall of the Soviet Union and Georgian war) Russian businessmen kept buying property that made zero financial sense, but was located close to strategic infrastructure or military bases.
> 800x markup doesn't just happen

Isn't it 80x? Title says 8000%
For clarity, a 8000% markup is 80x more expensive, not 800x.

Not denying that that still should be unacceptable on the buyer side, if you want to have any semblance of a functioning market.
US charges Indian billionaire Gautam Adani with fraud

I strongly question this part. Most people just want comfort. More is never enough for them.
The short answer is greed, plain and simple. Higher Education has not been an institution for the people in the US for a long, long time. It may never have been, actually. It's a business, same as our Healthcare industry and businesses run on maximizing profit margins so that is their primary goal.
Using string error comparisons was the only way to do this few years ago; and Go has a backwards compatibility promise.

Nope, exceptions in Python are not the same. There are a lot of standard exceptions
