It really doesnt. The current pace of new web standards and browser features mean frameworks and code need to constantly be checking if each browser supports the new thing, and not releasing said feature until enough versions of browsers support the thing to make it widespread enough to use. Even then, people in lesser developed countries that are using older devices with older versions of browsers on them are seeing broken and unuseable versions of the web, just because big companies are racing to 'push the web forward'.

As a web developer who wants to see the rate of new standards and features slow down so that all browsers can adopt them safely at a sensible pace without needing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on development, I really hope for this outcome.
The dead reckoning I’m referring to (and I suspect op is too and seemingly you are as well), is the work being done by the military in the usage of submarines that stay submerged for extremely long periods of time. The error accumulated is many orders of magnitude less than traditional accelerometers + gyroscopes over the same time frame. The point is you can dead reckon within your error bounds even when GPS is unavailable and the accuracy from fusion will beat GPS by itself (not that that matters for the applications we’re discussing). For the duration of a flight it should be well within the capabilities of such sensors to dead reckon accurately from a last GPS fix before blackout and OP is correct this would be a complementary solution to more accurate clocks making it harder to jam GPS in the first place.

Indeed it’s being examined precisely for this application:

Absolutely agree on the fact that we don't need / should not have "second gouvernements" (and non democratically choosen too). Which is why we should also apply this regular "maintainance split" to largest fortunes too.
DRM might have been a bad example, but it is one I've seen before. Another story I see here often is that a developer had an independent studio. The studio develops a game or an application. As the game or application ages, the developer sells it. The acquiring company goes defunct or discontinues the sale of the program some time later, and the developer wishes he would have just posted the source code for the program.

I get what you're saying in that the revealed preference is towards the "bad" behavior, but I think there is something to be said for the capacity to feel regret being a necessary precursor to discourage bad behavior from occurring in the future. The thread seems to be divided between those who believe the people working at these labels might have that capacity and those who believe that these people are essentially amoral monsters who are only concerned by the perverse vaguery of "maximizing returns."
Brings to mind the line about the behavior of most organizations being best explained by it being controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

Just mass-violating the copyright of deep pocketed plaintiffs is like writing them checks that need to go through court first. The Constitution expressly gives Congress the power to make laws concerning copyright. Congress used that power. The statutes say what they say. There is no wriggling out of it; there are centuries of case law reconciling copyright with the 1A. If the IA is going to be provocative like this it should do so outside of the reach of the judgments of US courts.

How long until other chromium browsers follow suit? I'm currently using Edge.

I also wonder when someone one will "hack" chromium to run whatever extensions they want - I could build my own extension, or build uBlock Origin from the source (if available) and execute the extension regardless of the store.
While dollar cost averaging and index investing are solid strategies, this article overlooks an important consideration: the Realistic Rate of Return (RoR) needed for retirement planning. Yes, US markets historically recover (lately that notion seems to be challenged more often than not), but timing matters significantly.

What happens if someone's retirement coincides with a market crash? Younger investors have time on their side for recovery, but as retirement approaches, blindly following market-based strategies without carefully considering your required rate of return could be problematic. Age-appropriate risk management becomes increasingly important as your investment horizon shortens.
Is this the outage everyone promised when he fired everybody? How all that institutional knowledge would be gone forever and the whole thing would definitely come crashing down?

They appear to mean "astonishingly uncool dorks", not, like, losers in the globalizing economy or something like that. They're talking about the folks in charge, not voters.
With the Privacy Sandbox Google already prepared for their sell side ad business to be sold. With the ad auctioning logic and data flow being handled directly in Chrome PS they wouldn't need GAM anymore and would probably easily accept this part to be split. And it could even reinforce their vertical integration.
On the other hand with no direct access to the browser and no 3rd party cookies anymore, they would probably be less relevant for media buyers on the open web, which could open a good chunk of the market for other ad platforms.

It would take a massive amount of labor to determine what in the existing archive is out of copyright in a legally verifiable manner.

There’s nothing keeping the record labels or other corporate copyright aggregators from declaring legal warfare on your hypothetical child organization.
Are we discarding the analogy then? Okay.

The owner has a bunch of space and equipment they can grant power over, but that's only half a company. They don't naturally start with power over the employees.
Color me naive, but isn't it simply more pleasant to have sex with a manly bully than with a "nice guy" pushover? Do we need to explain further? I guess, we can study the extent to which pushovers are being pushovers, but it should not be surprising that they are being pushed over to some extent.
There are others besides the ones that the author mentions. Some that come to mind:

1. The Gold Bug (E.A. Poe)
2. Enigma (R. Harris)
3. Cryptonomicon (N. Stephenson)

In the comments however it appears that the author meant specifically British fiction.

> What else would you like to see? A legal analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the case?

Exactly.

What are the facts of the case according to the plaintiff? What are the points of law being relied on?

Does the IA dispute the plaintiff's version of the facts and the interpretation of the law? If so, what points are they disputing?

If there have been similar cases, how did those cases go, and how were they different to this case?
There are some inconsistencies between function names and some quirks. I haven’t used PHP for a while, so cannot recall exact issues. Based on other comments, it seems PHP has resolved many of these problems.

I think most of people saying that other languages are “better” are just repeating outdated information.

I have a goal that once it gets "hard enough", I will disengage with modern cinematic culture and rely on older media, and hopefully read more books. Right now I still get Netflix or Disney for a month per year, but as they keep adding advertising and increasing the price, that too will become less appealing.

If you make music that nobody wants to listen to then uh... good job I guess?

Spotify doesn't actively influence anything, that is the whole point of this article. It passively influences, in a "the medium is the message" sense. But I am saying I disagree with characterising this as forcing anyone to do anything. In theory you might be able to optimise your music for "the algorithm" but there is nothing stopping you from creating the same music you'd have made otherwise.

I used an analogy: the format of radio singles encouraged a certain format of music (length, and other factors - much has been written about how radios changed pop music) but plenty of non radio friendly music continued to be produced.

It would be bizarre to claim that RCA forced artists to make radio-friendly singles.

>Point is, artists are regular human beings that need to eat,

Art has never been a way to make money. You do it because you have money already or because you're supported by someone that does.
Ah yes Internet Explorer all over again. boring.
7 is the worst part about trying to review my coworker's code that I'm 99% confident is copilot output - and to be clear, I don't really care how someone chooses to write their code, I'll still review it as evenly as I can.

I'll very rarely ask someone to completely rewrite a patch, but so often a few minor comments get addressed with an entire new block of code that forces me to do a full re-review, and I can't get it across to him that that's not what I'm asking for.
>Maybe they're right that they've been doing easily automatable work for these few years.

It makes sense if this is the case, he might have even anticipated being hit by the next wave of layoffs and quitted early
>There are traditional rules

None of those rules are traditional. Those rules are adhoc, constantly changed at the whims of whoever is in charge of the copyright office in any given administration, and heavily lobbied by the media companies. These rules are many things: bureaucratic, official, overly-complicated, contrary to public interest, etc. but have no basis in "tradition".

>At this point I'd be happy if they'd just pick a lane.

No doubt you'd be happy.

>they would have less of a problem partnering with rights holders

These are the same rights holders that have acted irresponsibly when it suited them, leading to the wanton destruction of material that rightfully belongs to the public. You get that right? Copyright is not ownership, it's just a long-term lease... all copyright materials are in the long run property of the public domain. You don't get to destroy them just because you've got a temporary lease on it. The rights holders are the problem.

>Right now they're asking for $17 donations next to pirated material

What piracy? Did someone hijack a ship at sea and hold its crew for ransom?
So far, this is a minor stock correction coupled with unprecedented political uncertainty.

In my lifetime, there have been multiple -10+% single day drops, one -22%, and a bunch of -10% months. In that time though, no one has questioned the full faith and credit of the US government.

However now -- The Supreme Court had to take a case to rule that the government had to pay contracts that had already been delivered on. The Treasury has yoinked money from NY State over ACH because DOGE disagreed with the program. Musk and DOGE are trying to break departments so hard that there's no putting them back even with a court order. He's threatening Social Security, which has always been the third rail.

The trouble is that some form of stability and law is required for the sort of financial business that powers the US. There are other ways of being rich -- patronage, extractive, but that's not an engine that drives financialization and the ability to start business, get investments, and generally get some return back out of things. You lose the stability and the trustworthiness, the goose goes away, and there are no more golden eggs.
"Not very successful (...) Since it's my passion, I keep trying"

The technology you've built is very impressive, but I suspect the way it's presented won't appeal to your target audience. It's very programmer-art-y.

It might be worthwhile hiring a designer and having them go over everything for you, both making sure it looks like a professional tool aimed at an audience that values sophisticated visuals, and also that the examples you have look premium.
I assume this is region dependent. Over here, heat pump dryers start at 400 EUR, and you almost can't find a dryer without a heat pump.

Additional benefit is that heat pump dryers dry with a lower heat, which is better for the clothes.
For AWS we should split the platform and the managed services (no one should have to compete with "the platform". See elasticsearch, redis).

This also works for Amazon retail, they should not be allowed to sell on their own marketplace (they have to choose, they are either a marketplace or a seller)
No way. He is part of the government forcing the sale. What have we come to in this country.
If anything, a DOJ under any Republican president is more likely to lean into the criterion of consumer welfare to determine antitrust priorities. You can bet Google's strategy is tuned for making the most of this theory of antitrust. There's almost nothing you can do to Google that won't make consumers have to pay more for a less convenient solution, due to messy technical issues.
Tesla is an interesting case, because it seems clear to me at this point that Musk is both a disaster for the company in terms of actively hampering its growth and an absolute necessity for the stock price. Given that Tesla's market value is (or maybe was now? not sure) more than all other carmakers combined, it's not really justifiable on any fundamental level, since "completely taking over the new vehicle market" is priced in, and Tesla's growth... hasn't been reaching that.
I wonder who would buy "Chromium with a Google skin." You'd get a massive user base, but what would you do with the product? The only thing that distinguishes it from other Chromium-based browsers is integration with Google account features, which doesn't seem useful for a non-Google company.

Buying Chromium is a more interesting proposition, but you can't really "buy" it (aside from the trademark, infrastructure, domains) because the codebase isn't Google's to sell. Would the web coalesce around the new owners just because they inherit the CI and the repo?
I wonder how ultrasonic dryers have been doing lately. I don't know anything about them, but heard about them at an ARPA-E conference a while back. Don't know if this is still very low TRL, or just massively too expensive, or really doesn't work all that well. But they are supposed to be much more electrically efficient.

If I’m going to be the devil’s advocate, it’s probably better for performance.

When I maintained a hook-based plugin system, I learned that many programmers do not know data structures or algorithms and would slow down the whole software by writing plugins that looked up rules using extremely slow ways extremely often. And if users wanted to complain about the software being slow, they would always blame me first.

But when I replaced it with rule lists, now I was in control and could implement fast data structures.

I know this won't be helpful to folks committed to EKS, but AWS ECS (i.e. running docker containers with AWS controlling) does a really great job on this, we've been running ECS for years (at multiple companies), and basically no hiccups.

One of my former co-workers went to a K8S shop, and longs for the simplicity of ECS.

No software is a panacea, but ECS seems to be one of those "it just works" technologies.
For me the element blockers are the most important of all. It's not just about blocking ads. It's about making websites more usable. Ads are only one of those detrimental points. Many websites bombard you with big photos of their articles. I block all that with custom blocklists so the end result is a lot more like here at hacker news.
i mean if your goal is to save time completely, might as well pay the laundromat to wash, dry, fold, and deliver everything to your door. That would actually save you a lot of time. But hanging clothes to dry? Not really.

Draping clothes over a large clothing rack takes me about 10 minutes (2 adults in my household). I only put bed sheets and towels in the dryer, which means the cycle finishes much more quickly too.

10 minutes of saving a week is basically nothing, no? It’s also much faster for me to put away my laundry because i already sorted my clothes when hanging (put all shirts together, all shorts and pants together, etc). A nice bonus is my clothes last much longer.

I hear this a lot but I've not heard any coherent explanation for how Musk's actions don't hurt the brand. Obviously as a billionaire being a big fan of the Republican party would hardly be a surprise, he could have supported them, even donated large sums to them without any significant backlash. But becoming a key part of the administration instantly alienates half of the country, and by extension the customer base. And that is before you get into his "Roman salute" antics.
It's my computer. I will run code that I choose and disallow code that I choose. If I choose to run code that blocks your code, that's my prerogative. Whether that's a full blown right is another topic.

You're just pissed because I've chosen to block your code in software you created. Next, you'll tell me I have to watch your programming on a TV I bought with your code on it.

The idea that we have to do anything that evilCorp wants us to do is just insane that people have come to the point of accepting that.

Relevant to my life.

Anyone have experience with these? They seem pretty uncommon in the the US. Thinking about pulling the trigger on an all in one heat pump to replace an all in one with a condenser.

So many mixed reviews about heat pump dryers saying they don't dry well.

The minimum wage doesn't make anyone be paid more. It only causes anyone paid less than it to instead be paid $0, and instead be paid an unemployment benefit. How is that reasonable?

I think it absolutely would be great if a Wikipedia-like model were viable, but Wikipedia is like the extreme high watermark for that, and they get five billion visits a month, which I think is an order of magnitude higher than what Firefox has access to. Ramping up to Wikipedia scale levels of donations would be a serious project and a significant gamble.

Wikipedia has also been around as long as the internet itself and its current fundraising drives are the culmination of decades of momentum and cultivating a perception of the compact that exists between them and their users.

Also, I believe that even in the best of times Wikipedia is raising about half as much as it costs to run Firefox.

There's probably important caveats that relate to comparing software development projects with resources and content, because I think the most successful donation-driven examples are Wikipedia, NPR, and The Guardian. And what they seem to have in common is generating content to be consumed.

In terms of software development projects, to me the most natural analogy is something like VLC, which does indeed rely on donations and is orders of magnitudes smaller. Or maybe the Tor project which does rely on donations, but I think they're at the order of like 10 million or so, which is certainly promising, but not a like for like substitution for the revenue they get from Google.
