I think this a poor justification for uninvolvement. All families need resources - so satisfying that can justify all your time. But for many people on this forum that does not occupy all their time and attention, except for brief exceptions. What differentiates quality of upbringing is not resources. So working harder at your white collar job does not make you a better parent.

As a self-taught SWE myself, I agree with your observations. Two of the most talented engineers I've ever met were self-taught. The interesting thing about the two people I'm thinking of is that, besides being self-taught, neither one of them actually even went to college. One of them actually dropped out of college, then went on to get hired at Netflix at 23 years old, back when they were only hiring senior engineers.

Me, I have a degree in math, but 97% of what I know is stuff I picked up either on the job, or because I found it interesting. Besides those that picked up CS as a major when it was a hot field, I'm betting that some of them get the love of tech beaten out of them by their college experience. I certainly know more than one science major who felt that way after graduating. (Not me, though. I'm weird, and I still love math just as much as I always did. Maybe even more.)

Hetzner isn’t really a full-service cloud provider. They provide machines and storage for rent. It’s the first rung on the ladder to becoming a cloud provider, but they’ve got a long way to go.
Most companies I know (and/or have worked for) pay a lot of attention to where exactly their stuff is being hosted, partly due to GDPR. It might not be a Europe-native hoster but in most cases it will still be a data center in Europe (operated by AWS/Azure/GCP).
Ok.

And how about making every citizen constantly carry an always-on device from the USA full of sensors and permanent internet access?

And how about basing all infrastructure on these devices, so that nothing works without them?

And how about not letting a software ecosystem flurish, so that when robots (cars, humanoid robots, weapons ...) take over, all of them will be controlled by US software?
Seems odd to participate in a comment chain, taking it further away from the post topic, and then when you realize you are wrong you say that it is not relevant.

Yet they can't manage a unified page cache like every other OS on the planet? I'll be more receptive to the concept of OpenBSD innovating when their virtual memory subsystem gets over Reagan leaving office.
But your view is too shortsighted as I’ve said, in other comments. There will be a reaction to these increases in prices and increases in margins. Small startups and even large companies will enter the space to take advantage of the increased margins. It’s not a static system. However, it does not happen immediately and it takes some time.

How long would you wait for them to provide this evidence before deciding they are trying to hoodwink you by withholding it?
The CFPB claims to have recovered $19 billion for consumers, total, since 2011. Which is 14 years ago. So maybe it recovers 1.4 billion a year.

It's budget is around 600 million a year. So yeah, it probably recovers a little over double what it costs to operate.

That sounds okay, but bear in mind the recovered funds are... taxpayer dollars that we unfairly paid. And when you factor in the cost in taxes we pay for CFPB, that means... we're only getting a little more than half our money back. That's certainly better than not getting anything back, but I'd hesitate to call it "efficient".
I'm not THAT pessimistic about buildout of charging if it was a politically rational era, but the Ramcharger style 50-100 mile PHEV really is a great compromise for EV transitions.

We should have mandated PHEVs 20 years ago for consumer cars (you know, with a 5-10 year transition period), but it was the Bush administration. Then again Obama and Biden didn't do that much either, and even California didn't do and still hasn't.
> I sure hope a broader exploration precedes micro-optimizing register allocation and calling conventions.

It should be obvious that both are pursued independently whenever it makes sense. The idea that one should precede the other or is more important than the other is simply untrue.
Fwiw, there are some pretty great HN reader apps I’ve found — Hack and Octal are the two favorites I’ve come across for iOS.
I haven't used a Bluetooth device on a desktop or laptop in decades now. Not because I'm using OpenBSD, but because while the promise is there, the reality of using Bluetooth has been so disappointing it's not even worth trying for me anymore. Personally, I'm not opposed to wires, because wires usually mean low latency and no dropped connections; but even when using thinks like wireless mice, using them in propriatary modes was so much better than Bluetooth that after a couple attempts, I stopped trying.

You've clearly had a different experience with Bluetooth, and that's good for you, and neither of our experiences is universal, but I think there are plenty of people willing to use a desktop OS without Bluetooth.

Heck, my new car only uses bluetooth to do phone pairing, then it switches to wifi to talk to phones, because that's clearly better than Bluetooth.
I haven't played it, but I got the impression it didn't fizzle out so much as that it simply had one single player campaign and no reason to keep playing once it's finished, and that many people seem to have forgotten games with a finite nr of playing hours like that exist because of the roguelikes, hero shooters, MMORPGs, Minecraft-likes, etc that keep you hooked for as long as possible.

All my flagged are by mistake. This is a UI issue for mobile. Flag and hide really should not be put next to discuss on the equal footing on the front page (the usage ratio should be more than 10x). I use discuss many times a day but never hide or flag. Maybe it is better to only show these on the discussion page (better for more thoughtful actions too, less incentive to flag without even having a chance of glancing the discussion).
> they can track your location, track everything you do with an electronic device with very little investment for anyone but the most paranoid people with impeccable opsec

It sounds like you are only thinking about state against private individual surveilance. That of course is a thing, but far from the only task inteligence agencies have. State against state operations are much harder because the oponent has much more resources to play the game and resist and confound your inteligence agency.

When will the enemy start a war? What is their readyness level? Which weapon systems are fielded and what are their exact capabilities? Who is working on technologies we do not have counters yet and where are they in development? If we do this what will they do? How do they think? What do they believe about our capabilities and intentions?

And those are just the questions on strategic level. On a lower tactical level you would love to know where their nuclear armed submarines are, which silos are filled, and where exactly are the nuclear warheads in a shell game. You would also want to know where the attention of their counter espionage people is, and what are their institutional blind spots. About the information you gained, which one is true and which one is a deliberate lie fed to you?

These are all things well funded entities with state level resources are trying to hide from your inteligence agencies.

> Even if people with reliable supernatural powers exist, their scarcity and probable limitations …

Idk how we can know that. Based on what we know about the world this capability does not exists. If it does exists, how can we say anything about its rarity and limitations? Maybe some agency employs armies of “remote sensing” people. Maybe they perfected the techniques to the point where it is more accurate than a video camera. Do i think any of this is likely? I don’t. What i think is likely is that the whole thing is deliberate misinformation created to cause or excarbarate resource misallocation in rival inteligence agencies. All i say is that I don’t think we can confidently say anything about its limitations if it exists.
Indeed. GDPR, cookie laws, draconian anti-free speech content policies. I'm not a fan at all of the US government but Europe has proven to be the last place on earth you want to host something.

Red Flag Deals isn't a "random" forum.

Like you said, the truly hostile entities will gain access anyway. The people breaking into the systems to gain access are the ones you really need to be worried about. I'm pretty sure the US government has that capability if it wants it (not that I endorse it, I don't).
For decades, the technology center of the universe has been Silicon Valley. No matter where you lived -- Canada, the UK, Germany, India -- if you wanted to be serious, you moved to the US. And if you had a company, being acquired by a Silicon Valley company was basically the goal. In the same way that you had to move to LA if you wanted to do anything serious in the entertainment industry.

So every innovation and success ends up being sucked into the gravity well of Silicon Valley. Every talent ends up having to move to the US to be credible. Soon everything is "American". The great innovation center of the universe, fueled by foreigners and acquired foreign businesses.

Will this continue? That is hugely to be seen.

The flag button sits right in the zone I swipe with my right thumb on mobile. Occasionally I notice and go unflag something. Clicking through this, I found several pages of posts I’ve flagged. I’d guess I’ve done no more than five posts intentionally. The rest were just the big dumb thumbs.

I wholeheartedly agree with the recommendation to add a confirmation to the action.
I get your point. It’s almost impossible at the stage we are at right now.

But what’s the alternative?

Same bug here, in Firefox 128.

Also, while we're making suggestions, would it be possible to replace the tutorial balloon boxes with something that's less in the way? I like built-in hints and don't want to turn them off, but sometimes they can be a bit annoying when they cover up parts of the game UI. I would prefer some kind of animated glow behind the parts of the game I'm supposed to click on (cards, bars, or the die) plus a statically positioned explanation box to the side or on the bottom. That would make the hints unobtrusive enough that there would be no need to provide an option to turn them off.

There is certainly an analogy here to servers that respond to HTTP ("websites") that ignore the concept of "user agent", i.e., the user chooses the client, and try to force the "www user" to choose a certain "web browser", usually one funded by advertising.

In the case of handheld computers ("smartphones") the situation is even more restrictive. The "mobile user" is forced to use both s specific operating system and a specific client in order to communicate with servers that respond to HTTP ("backends"), where the former is controlled by a company wholly or partially dependant on surveillance, data collection and the sale of online advertising services as a "business model".

I wish this was true. You can't even get hired if you're proficient in a language, but don't know framework X. Which is understandable for, say Ruby (I don't know anyone who knows Ruby, but doesn't know Rails), but it's inexcusable for JavaScript. I've been programming JavaScript since like 1997. Sure, I'll pick up React no problem, but I won't be touching it unless I'm paid, because React is a disgrace.

But it's not just these languages. It's every other language pretty much. You want to be hired as Go dev? Better know how to use gRPC and Kafka. Java? Better know Spring. I can go on and on.
I agree with your thesis, but I don't think there are 5 colleges or universities in the US that actually truly teach people how to think critically, with genuine curiosity. I despise people who are smart and educated, but not the least bit intellectually curious. The sad part is that the entire US education system is literally designed to beat the curiosity out of people, at least until you start talking about graduate schools.
Can you cite them? I reviewed their list and found none.
If a dish at a restaurant quadruples in price, there will be fewer customers to order it - a LOT fewer, and probably enough to kill the business. The minimum wage is not a magical tool that causes money to appear in working class pockets.

Yes, tipped workers would probably make less money with a higher minimum wage under this system. The "probably" is actually irrelevant - people working tipped jobs very clearly don't want to lose tips and will resist attempts to straighten out the system.

I also cannot help but notice that your article is from the very start of 2020, and the vast majority of inequality reduction has happened after COVID. Perhaps your take would make more sense if you relied on more recent data.
True that. There are plenty of historical companies which have absolutely dominated politics. "Standard Oil" being another example.

What's different in our time, is that it is not just one company, but a whole range of mega-companies (Particularly in technology). It has changed from a few powerful and malicious actors to a systematic problem, fueled by the dynamics of the financial markets and passive investment.
Very true, there is still a loyal following of new game plus players, including myself, holding down the fort but having a linear single player campaign was refreshing.

You flip the argument around, suggesting that calling something “conspiracy thinking” is itself a kind of brainwashing or programming, which is a common rhetorical move in conspiratorial circles.

It’s the kind of reasoning that’s impossible to argue with because it’s built to absorb any counterargument as further evidence of its correctness. It’s like playing chess with someone who insists that any piece you take was actually yours all along and that losing is just proof you never understood the real game.
That gotcha also applies to you. So all communication about communication is "programming"? And before you say technically yes, "programming" with the same sinister connotation you are giving it.
