There court hasn't set a remedy to its verdict yet. From the article

The proposal, filed Friday afternoon, says that Google must “promptly and fully divest Chrome, along with any assets or services necessary to successfully complete the divestiture, to a buyer approved by the Plaintiffs in their sole discretion, subject to terms that the Court and Plaintiffs approve.” It also would require Google to stop paying partners for preferential treatment of its search engine.

Think of it like MySQL and then MariaDB. So if Google sells Chromium to say Saleforce (they seem to buy everything) then Chrome is no longer Google's. Google would have complied with the verdict.
I'm not sure what word to apply to facing three familial tragedies, any one of which might seem like more than a life's fair share of misfortune, with that kind of perseverance. Inspiring is too glib, inhuman is too alienating. Whatever kind of mettle that is, I hope to never have to prove it.
I built this AI tool to spot "bugs" in legal agreements, which is harder than spotting errors in research papers because the law is open textured and self contradicting in many places. But no one seems to care about it on HN, Gladly, our early trial customers are really blown away by it.

This is very naive. How many different APIs have you authenticated with and connected to? Just the big ones? What happens when the docs are wrong or incomplete?
If Tesla were to suddenly score a large government contract, that could keep them afloat.

The Postal Service, for example?

Any agency facing DOGE cuts would be motivated to buy Tesla.
Serious question: do you expect to have to field questions about buying a car from Musk post-seig heil and DOGE?
My first reaction when reading this is: how does this help Musk?

Sigh.
I would snap up a Model Y if it had V2X charging. I can only imagine Tesla is worried about undercutting their powerwall business.

Powerwall gives you 13 kwh for $10K. A model Y is 60kwh for $30k
The big problem with the broad spectrum exams is the "if appropriate" part. Often it's not clear if further exams or interventions are warranted, and when in doubt people tend to err towards taking action.
We are in a rather peculiar situation in US history where a party representing roughly 48% of the population has absolute control over all branches of government. The party representing the other 48% has no authority, and often believes the decisions of the first party to be incompatible with a functioning society.

It’s surprising that TSLA boycotts are the only disruptive protest happening.
It's convergence of belief, evidence and outcome. You can have all three, or only one. It's not necessarily by intent or design, although it certainly seems to be both.

Denying the outcome benefits Russia more than anyone else appears contrary to evidence. I have yet to see a reasoned justification of how this benefits the USA beyond the awfully short term trite "saves money"

About why, or how Trump has come to enact these outcomes I cannot speak, but they don't seem to be benign for longterm US political/strategic goals. It's like a retreat to an older isolationist world view combined with a "fuck the liberals" mentality.

I used to believe in the power of the military industrial complex and its beltway lobby. I begin to doubt it, because almost all of the US aide to Ukraine was spent inside the US materiel production industry. Which is also the truly bizarre thing: he's cutting almost Keynsian pump priming domestic spend. It's massively bad for jobs.
> I wouldn't recommend first is Small Gods, but mostly because its very self contained to the Klatchian region while the others are on another continent.

For the same reason, "Small Gods" is actually a great introduction to the series. I think it's really my favorite book in the series.
I'm not going to go that far. He can invest in whatever he wants; if he owns a non-controlling amount of Amazon or Home Depot shares, I'm not going to stop shopping there.
> And overall, the fewer people use CF (or another provider of their size) the better.

I understand your sentiment, but I vehemently disagree.

The cloud provider space has rapidly become an oligopoly and CloudFlare is one of the few new entrants that (1) has sufficient scale to compete with the incumbents; (2) has new ideas that the incumbents cannot easily match (region earth, durable objects etc.).

For most production workloads, I would not even consider the newer cloud providers, but I sincerely meant it when I said I hope Cloudflare will succeed. They've also been very responsive to the feedback raised in the blogpost when I DM-ed them.

(On a side note re: difficulty for newcomers in this market, I used to be part of a team that would run e.g. staging and testing environments on a new serverless db provider, but would run prod on AWS Aurora. In retrospect, this did not make much sense either as you want your environments to be as similar as possible, which means new cloud providers have an even tougher time getting started.)
"works as advertised, so technically it's not a scam."

It often does not work as advertised. It is not an efficient form for transferring money compared to say, Wise. I used to be able to buy a game off Steam or a burger off a crypto wallet, but neither of these things are available today.

So the use case then becomes that they hodl on to something that increases in value in time. But that sounds a little like a scam as well.

Stablecoins are in actual use and not a scam, but they're effectively USD to USD, at a loss.
I haven’t opened Safari recently but I’m pretty sure Safari in general just doesn’t have user defined search engine lists at all on any platform and never has. There’s ways to hack it with extensions, but otherwise if you want to switch SEs, you can use one on Apple’s list or you switch to a browser with more flexibility on iPhone, Mac or iPad.

Of course since one of the options in Safari is DuckDuckGo, you can also use its extensive list of !bang operators.
I'm glad you found it helpful :)
> Google pays Firefox ~$500M/year for 2.5% market share, 65% market share should get a healthy annual payout for default search status.

Google gets other value with this besides being the default search engine. Keeping Firefox alive makes it so that Chrome is less of a monopoly.

> and an aggressive fork at some point

Maintaining a browser engine is a lot of work. With no clear upside, no one would invest the work in maintaining a fork. Related to this, Microsoft gave up maintaining a (partially) separate browser engine for Edge, and now just uses Chromium

Selling might not make business sense for Google or for Chrome, but it makes a ton of sense for the American public. Google is using Chrome to benefit advertisers, data brokers, and surveillance over users. Exhibit: the manifest v2 / Ublock Origin saga. And this is huge because so many other browsers use Chromium or its engine under the hood. Google can also use Chrome to push user-unfriendly web standards or de-facto standards.

Of course, this doesn't appear that related to the DOJ's reasoning.

In theory, everyone would be able to take an informed decision. In practice, patients wold rather take action than wait, resulting in harm from unnecessary exams and interventions.

Not to mention the cost of the exams themselves. Everytime someone goes through an exam that serves no useful purpose, that's healthcare money that could be put to better use.

Unofficial Bash Strict Mode
That's only on top of Teslas being somewhat shitty cars, and on top of competitor brands offering good EVs.
The point is simple: Google has a monopoly in search and has used its control of Chrome to maintain that monopoly. There is no monopoly in browsers, and the DOJ has evaluated that selling off Chrome will not adversely affect the browser market. If we go from Chrome having 66% market share to Edge having 66%, but in the interim the search market has seen more entrants competing fairly, wouldn't that be a benefit?
Programming in analog won't pay as well at all compared to programming in digital.

One could argue that Elon and Tesla's reputation as the first to seriously tackle electrifying the transport system to deal with climate change got them a lot of goodwill that made people overlook the issues with the cars.

Now the reputation is going the other side of neutral.
I am not even the person who said "I wouldn't call it another form of API"... can you maybe just stick to the concrete and explain how this is different from SOAP/WSDL or OpenAPI/Swaggar? I honestly don't even know what short term either I or you would now use for any of them, but I feel confident that the overall premise described by this article doesn't differentiate: they offer a standardized connector to various tools and data sources behind otherwise different APIs, even offering--through a registry such as UDDI--dynamic discovery of these resources. The only not-really-a-difference I feel is that we are explicitly describing wrapping the other APIs into this protocol... but like, that's what you'd of course have to do or expose an existing API via SOAP (which is also a capital-P-stands-for-Protocol).
Usually it seems like there’s a bit more democracy involved in the USA, but it’s getting hard to tell from here in Canada.
If Google was forced to sell off Chrome, I wonder what the ramifications would be for Chromebooks. Chromebooks have become quite popular in K12 schools. I don’t see how they could continue to run or why Google would have any continued interest in this device ruling.
No. You don't write "native applications on web browsers".
I support cutting government waste. So do the majority of Americans, BTW. And no one with any folds on their brain believes Musk is a "Nazi".
Xterm does this via DEC protocol commands. Well, it does this by specifying double-height, double width, or both. Why does Kitty have to do things its own way yet again?
I think the problem is also "Venezuelan banks". Bank runs tend to happen in these countries. A bank run is when people expect a bank to collapse, so they pull out money, forcing the bank into debt, and actually collapsing them. The patch for this is government insurance but Venezuelans likely don't trust their gov enough. Bank runs happen plenty in uninsured finance e.g. crypto too, but crypto exchanges today are more stable.

So crypto helps as an alternative method of holding money. You can buy/sell in USDT over some wallet or exchange. Your wallet is your own, in your device. The government can make it illegal, but that doesn't mean they can stop you. It doesn't collapse, but there's always the risk of being robbed, as with cash or jewelry.
It's a great move.

I'd love for the backup cam to be integrated with the mirror as a standard feature. It's available aftermarket. Then a screen isn't really needed at all. It's just one more expensive thing that can break. It would be nice to be able to swap it out with a sub $200 head unit like the good old days.

> It's a common misconception that tons of users manually install Chrome, but Google just pays PC makers to make Chrome the default browser

Maybe 10 years ago, but which ones do it now? thinkpads and HP machines, at least, ship with Edge as the default. Dell or something?

Windows is also _hyper_ aggressive about pushing Edge now too. Like it's nuts how hard it pushes it, to the point that it embarrasses people who do actually prefer Edge. "Recommending" at every turn that you not switch, having the edge browser itself warn against downloading Chrome, pushing edge into various OS-level browser launches even if it's not your default, and, of course, randomly resetting the browser default on various updates.

edit: at least from this page, it's edge by default on at least some dell machines too, but I haven't owned one in so long I won't say that for sure: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000128257/how-to-ch...

It doesn't seem to be a default on PCs.
Who would buy it? Oracle?

What would be the difference between Google shoveling money at Safari and Firefox for default search and shoveling money at some “independent” Chrome?

Of course, we should ask why the web is in a place where building a browser is so massively complex and expensive that Google and Apple are the only entities in the world who can afford to do it.
Yes, it is very wrong. The Discworld series isn't that far from LOTR in spirit. It's just that Pratchett takes the modern secular humanist perspective and LOTR was a deeply Catholic work. Discworld is more meta, ironic, less overtly moral but does teach not so dissimilar lessons, which isn't particularly uncommon.

The anti-LOTR has always been Dune, which Tolkien himself was aware of. It's one of the few stories he was uncharacteristically openly negative about.

Yikes. I wonder if they will use the back catalog of science fiction stories to train AI and give us new forms of dystopia.
Aye - this is a limitation of the current tech. For any project greater than 1k lines where the model was not pretrained on the code base…. AI is simply not useful beyond documentation search.

It’s easy to see this effect in any new project you start with AI, the first few pieces of functionality are easy to implement. Boilerplate gets written effortlessly. Then the ai can’t reason about the code and makes dumb mistakes.
I actually don't want my Kagi plugin to overwrite Google for a different reason: Sometimes the plugin fails to hijack my search, and I really don't want my searches going to Google. So I overwrite DuckDuckGo, so even the fallback is okay.

Even a current Toyota Corolla has lane assistance but turning it on, settings etc are just better at the Tesla model 3 I drive. Lane keeping is good, haptic and audio feedback are good.
The Toyota has haptic steering wheel feedback that I have not figured out yet, it steers but also leaves the lane. The Toyota chirms/acoustic sounds appear to me not used consistently across different functions, sound too similar or not warning enough. Admittedly this can all be personal choice and getting used to.

Forcing Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers to move to Manifest v3, i.e. deleting the ability from the browser to have good adblockers, is incredibly valuable to Google.

Just noting: I'm giving this some thought, it's a good question.

Though for the most part, the short answer is that HN would be either irrelevant, irredeemably corrupted itself, and/or a tool for the abusive power of that world.

Which is to say that fighting against that outcome is paramount.

The evil that is to be fought is far more than just one person. But by fighting that orientation (it's not an ideology, it's simple power-lust) is essential.

HN has had its critics going back to its origins. I'm tending to think jwz was right.

I've heard from others who were themselves prominent on HN that they're finding the site no longer tolerable, and I ask myself whether or not it is at least weekly, if not more often. And as much as I've admired much of what dang does here, there's some which makes my hair stand up. Including what he has, and has not, said in this thread.

(This is only a partial answer, and I hope to give it more consideration and justice soon.)
For all its warts, I think old IE is still a better option than Chrome because at the time of its dominance, Microsoft wasn't an ad company interested in collecting every little bit of data about you, nor did it own the dominant search engine. IE was just a browser.
I too support cutting government waste, provided it's done right. The problem is that currently it's being done with all the grace of a hippo in ice skates. A good manager does things methodically, not spastically. If he were advising well, we wouldn't have to keep calling important people back to work.

You also don't have to believe Musk is an actual Nazi to believe he should be careful in how he presents himself. We don't make these sorts of gestures precisely because people might think you are one. If you don't believe me, make a trip to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem and try it yourself, and see whether you make it out without injuries. (And please have someone film you.)

Step 1: Convince your users that they should trust a native application that runs outside of a sandbox.

Step 2: Wonder why you don't have more users.

How often does that actually happen? It's only when a fun owner was irresponsible, leaving a loaded gun in an accessible place for the toddler.

Similarly, AI can easily sound smart when directed to do so. It typically doesn't actually take action unless authorized by a person. We're entering a time where people may soon be willing to give that permission in a more permanent basis, which I would argue is still the fault of the person making that decision.

Whether you choose to have AI identify illegal immigrants, or you simply decide all immigrants are illegal, the deciding is made by you the human, not by a machine.
Hey, that's me too!

Also, from learning human languages, it's a well-known lesson that phrasebook-type "this means this" translations (like some here are asking, from Zig to C/Rust) are useful for quick and dirty learning good enough for one trip, but long term learning needs this kind of a direct explanation.

1. It avoids the word (or syntax in this case) getting stuck in a double-indirection state, needing you to mentally translate it from Zig to C to what it actually means every time.

2. It avoids the learner attaching the wrong nuances to the word or syntax feature, based on the translation they're given, when the language they're learning has different nuances. In other words, it helps the learner see it as its own thing, and not be unduly colored by what they already know and find easy to grasp on to (even when it's subtly wrong).
Chromebooks in schools are probably already illegal in a lot of places that use them, and the sole purpose is to lock in kids to the Google ecosystem early. (Apple used to heavily focus on education for the same reason back in the day.)

There's an arguable point if Google doesn't give up Chromebooks anyways, the DOJ should force them to.

My children basically are required by government to use Google products in school unless I want to pay for private school, which is kinda insane on its face.

My wife’s 2015 Honda has a similar setup for the climate controls. One morning the windshield fogged up after a few minutes of driving when the cabin was warming up on a cold day. Not being my daily driver, I had to look low on the dash to find the defogger button, while driving in the rain. Nothing bad happened, but I remember feeling a little helpless in the moment. That nothing went wrong was really just pure luck.
What makes the AI context window immune to the same issues that plague us humans? I think they will still benefit from high level languages and libraries. AIs that can use them will be able to manage larger and more complex systems than the ones that only use low level languages.

Unfortunately, moving to DNS blocking could only be a brief refuge before the creeping anti-adblock efforts target it as well.

Adtech and the web are identifiable by mostly unique domains, but what if that could be hidden? What if the adtech industry builds and pushes a reverse proxy tech of sorts for page content inside the page where the web server goes and loads 3rd party content for the page render before sending it you? The theoretical result could make every request looks like it comes from the domain you requested and there's nothing to discriminate on when it comes to DNS requests.

Unrealistic? Today, maybe. Wait until DNS ad blocking goes mainstream, Manifestv2 addons are long since stamped out and Manifestv3 addons are proven to be gutted and defeated. If click-through rates are noticeably higher with some kind of anti-dnsblocking proxy, we'll probably see proxies everywhere. What we'd do then for ad-block is beyond me.
