Totally pwning these n00bs.
Nice :), fun little project!

I'm working on a little TBR tracking app, along with some logging to replace my spreadsheet. I had fun checking this out.

What is the idea with votes?
Domains can be revoked, and you have to give up your physical address to get one.

You can lie, of course, but if they find out you lied, that's grounds for immediate revocation without notice or refund.
The headline is so bad. The FT editor should have put it as "peak concentration" or something.
I upvoted you :D

People have absolutely every right to have feelings.

But this goes exactly to the point: why do people make it personal, when only facts are being discussed?

Specifically facts about economics - repeatedly reported on mainstream media.

(not here, as I for one, abundantly indulged in irony)
That would be a fantastic resource!
Service providers cannot be trusted as long as the government says "all service providers must give us your data."
Not exactly. Interpreted charitably, in the context, it could be replaced by "the unwashed masses".

The author seems to have harboured the idea that internet was good only back when it was for a select few. I don't know how he reconciled that with his apparent distaste for gated communities.
> (I believe that was the first time a major company admitted to being hacked by government). That was a major turning point. Ever since then it's been "never again".

There was one other time Google was hacked by a major government that also spurred massive internal security posture changes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_effect#Tech_industry

Alphabet spins off its Taara laser-powered networking venture
Even if you don't automerge, the bots will often have elevated rights (it needs to be able to see your private repository, for instance), so it making a PR will run your build jobs, possibly with the updated version, and just by doing that expose your secrets even without committing to main.
You are so right! Only whites can be racist. As a northern European, how can I ever repent and make you happy?

I will never have an opinion on this conflict again, as I am white. I am so sorry. I will listen and learn while pro palestine people protest here in Sweden and advocate for Israel to be wiped off the map.
It's not a good idea in practice precisely because it blocks legitimate users. As it always will. It's not possible to do this sort of thing without blocking legitimate users.
Nobody was stranded. It's amazing how effective lying to people has become.

> Meanwhile I can open my phone's camera, spin around three times, take a photo of whatever the hell happens to be in its viewfinder and somehow that is sufficient human creativity to deserve copyright protection.

Your comment made me wonder if this rule can open a door to a new legal precedent in which you aren't the owner of photos taken with your smartphone because camera app utilizes AI to "enhance" whatever you had in frame and you can't disable it, exluding your from legal ownership. And copyright to these photos is ceeded to corporation whose device you purchased, and/or one which provided the alrogithms
GRP (Gentoo packages) existed at least 20 years ago, from my memory, as that's the last time I really used it in anger. I remeber packages being available and not having to rice everything, for sure.

I agree that this is a valid concern. However, we should then carefully review which restrictions actually help with stability and which restrictions are a nuisance.

It's instructive to compare the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany with the Weimar Republic. For example, while modern Germany still uses proportional representation, you need 5% of the votes to get any seats at all. (I'm simplifying a bit.) And you can no longer have a pure 'vote of no confidence' in parliament to bring down the government, you need to simultaneously put a new one in power, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_vote_of_no_confid...

As for the US president: I think the requirement for a minimum age and for citizenship are fair enough, because these are fairly easy to verify once and for all. But I think that the requirement for citizenship at birth is, if anything, bad for stability: remember the birthers?

Now imagine that in Obama's 6th year in office, some random birther had actually found some reasonably compelling evidence (but not compelling enough to make even Obama supporters agree). Can you imagine the chaos?

Technically he's not wrong about spam, it's just that the classical view of spam is no longer applicable. When you think of the rise of AI-generated content and SEO-focused design, it is almost impossible to use the internet without being inundated by a deluge of low quality spam. Everywhere we go we're served ads for scam products, have to figure out if someone is an actual person or a bot and so forth.

And the balkanization of the internet is, essentially, what we're seeing.
The AI Marketing Revolution: Global Strategies Redefining Business Success
Global Paradigm Shift in Marketing
The convergence of generative AI and omnichannel strategies is redefining commerce, with 87% of enterprises integrating AI-driven workflows to optimize content production, demand forecasting, and customer engagement. This transformation transcends automation—it represents a systemic overhaul of marketing’s technical and creative foundations.

Three Pillars of AI-Driven Commerce
1. Hyper-Personalized Content Ecosystems Netflix’s regional content adaptation (e.g., Bollywood-style edits for India) demonstrates how AI decodes cultural semantics, driving 67% non-English content consumption growth. Similar frameworks now empower e-commerce platforms to auto-generate localized product visuals and multilingual SEO descriptions, with tools like PhotoG—the world’s first AI marketing agent—enabling end-to-end campaign generation from a single product image.

2. Predictive Supply Chain Intelligence Amazon’s AI demand forecasting (3% error margin) enables suppliers to synchronize production with global trends. During 2024’s Black Friday, Southeast Asian manufacturers reduced costs by 45% through AI-optimized inventory alignment.

3. Omnichannel Experience Engineering TikTok Shop’s Ramadan campaign achieved 70% GMV growth via AI-calibrated product displays and culturally sensitive scripts, highlighting AI’s role in bridging global consumer preferences.

Technical Architecture Benchmark
| Capability | Industry Standard | Advanced Solutions |
|--------------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------|
| Content Production Cost | $850/campaign | 82% reduction |
| Multilingual Localization | 5-7 languages | 18 languages supported |

Strategic Insights for Enterprises
1. Unified AI Pipelines Leading platforms integrate physics-based rendering (PBR) and NLP to generate marketing packages (images/SEO content) in seconds, eliminating fragmented workflows.

2. Ethical-AI Governance With GDPR fines escalating, tools now embed compliance safeguards like end-to-end encryption and bias detection for 18 languages.

3. Human-AI Synergy Brands like BMW use cultural engagement AI to detect regional art preferences, boosting campaign relevance by 40% while maintaining human oversight for brand alignment.

• Verified ROI: Early adopters report 2× higher revenue growth versus peers.
Canvas and Audio Overview for Gemini
Essentially, young people want change, old people want stability. The right in the US has been advertising in the direction of change so it's liked for it. Especially by young people doomscrolling about "property prices now vs before" and cartelgram/liveleakesque videos. Once you get older you get a stable job, family, etc so you're less nervous about life and have better things to do than to get your adrenaline up watching people get murdered.

Written from the perspective of someone who's started to get comfortable in life. Now I'm quite mild politically but I can go more right short term if I spend some time watching people get butchered by gangs/nutcases. Some of my friends still watch a lot of that and it definitely makes you very much like having a "capacity for violence". It's one of those things that's IMO good in moderation, since some paranoia is healthy but off the deep end it turns into "get them before they get me"esque genocidal ideas and scrolling the nazi army webm montages and gore threads on /gif/ / /b/ at 2AM.
> There is no fraud or any other kind of manipulation

Can you expand on this? Changing the rules or subversive tactics such as getting a degree rescinded seems like that to me.
Apple Propaganda.

There's extremely few reasons why a modern Android phone from Google or Samsung is less secure than an iPhone, against any attack vector that 99.sevennines% of people [1] would ever experience. The worst way I've ever seen the most tech-illiterate person ever mess up an Android phone is by installing some QR Code reader that took over as a home screen launcher so it could (nonmaliciously, but questionably) put its QR code reader as a home screen left of the app icons. It should be way harder for Play Store apps to do that, because this guy needed professional help (me) to figure out where his home screen layout went.

But that was it. That's the worst I've ever seen. Android's security is very good.

While not a security concern, I've had multiple iPhone users ask "what the heck is this screen to the right of my app icons" (referring to the App Library introduced ~2 years ago). One person thought they'd been hacked. Kind of a similar inconvenience vector as that QR code app.

[1] The 100-99.sevenines% of people who might actually find themselves the target of an attack vector that Apple's unique security can help mitigate are, for example, journalists or dissidents who find value in Advanced Data Protection and Apple's generally very good and healthy stance on cloud security and end-to-end encryption. This level of security should be available to everyone, on every cloud provider, even if it only directly advantages a small number of people, but Apple is the only one really doing this right now.
> But holy shit you’ve gotta develop everything from the airframe to the turbines to the cockpit and landing gear simultaneously.

To make matters worse, you cannot just develop it, but you have to develop it in an entirely new way that has never been conceived before, else you will be in violation of endless patent and copyright claims.

But the reality is that the development is already done. No need to reinvent the wheel. It was a huge undertaking, but we've already done it. It is now only regulation that locks it up in a monopoly. Capital, materials, even effort are definite hurdles – but regulation is the reason why duplicating it for the sake of a competitive marketplace is impossible.
untrusted hardware

That's the root of the problem right there. As a hardware vendor, how do you achieve a "trusted" status in their ecosystem?

If only Apple devices can do the Appley things, then it really isn't an ecosystem (at least not what I have in mind when applying that term).
> An entire generation of women from conservative backgrounds couldn't attend university in Turkiye until the 2000s because of the hijab ban.

They could have just removed their hijab. Nobody was forcing them to keep it on.
Agreed in principle.

> Capital city bubble is present in some form in every single country, [...]

Some countries are remarkably multi-centric. See eg Germany or the US, where the political capital isn't really the centre of the economy.

I don't think that's good or bad, just interesting.
It surely must be exactly that.
I know you put an explainer in there... but sorry, this looks like a phishing attack to get my HackerNews password.
When people use phrases like "rational decisions" it is generally a statement of intent. To interpret it in a manner which is so obviously incorrect seems rather pointless.

My theory is that they keep old.reddit.com around to generate training data for the AI companies.
Well, I moved to the new repos. But I had to change to the dkms drivers.

I think the only people who can say they'd prefer an unexpected 9 month stay vs a planned 2 week stay are the ones that were "asked" to stay, and no one else.

Feels like they've been put between a wall and a sword: either they abandon the ISS or come back home. I don't know how I'd feel about that.
> Kate Tice, an engineer from SpaceX on the webcast, noted that touchdown was imminent. "We're going to stand by for splashdown located in the Gulf of America," she said.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Haha you got to love the timeline we're living at.
Reports like this scare me deeply, but that's because I understand more or less what it says.

But, yesterday, in an effort to understand the Trump voters, I visited Fox news for the first time in my life, even if my knowledge of USA politics is low enough to confuse the 2 parties. I literally could not believe what I saw. That site is written for morons. There are no second order effects, and barely first order effects. It has rough meme-level content, that's it. And it attracted enough voters to turn USA policy around completely.

There is no way a Fox-reader will understand the first sentence of this climate report. If we want voters for climate reform, we need a translation. We need to tell them: You'll drown you'll starve, and the other party will have more survivors than yours and lough at you. We need to explain how China is ahead, and will run so low on CO2 they'll start to burn USA flags. We need to explain how black trans woke woman will survive better than them, and start breeding by raping their doughters. In fact, this paragraph may be overshooting their understanding, even if it is completely bonkers and a mix of vague half truths.
America gradually reinventing the Japanese "light novel". Or even its own "pulp" tradition, which these days are only remembered for their cover art rather than any of the content.
I snickered at Oracle long back for this.
> I think this more due to the fact I ran Arch first and you then Gentoo first, rather than any real difference between them.

I can believe that.

> Gentoo is more stable than Arch by default, though. It's not actually a bleeding edge distro, but you can choose to run it that way if you wish. Gentoo is about choice.

I actually had way more trouble with stuff breaking with Ubuntu. That's because every six months, when I did the distro upgrade, lots of stuff broke at once and it was hard to do root cause analysis.

With a rolling distribution, it's usually only one thing breaking at a time.

Visa's cashback campaign looks like a security flaw
Apparently Visa Germany keeps running these cashback campaigns and they look seriously unsafe to me from a software engineering point of view.

The workflow is like this:

1. You receive an email claiming to originate from Visa, advertising that there's a cashback promo

2. You have to click on the email's link that leads to the landing page of the promo

3. You are plainly asked for the card's 16 digit code

Isn't this workflow susceptible to phishing attacks?

It looks like a very common & unsafe anti-pattern and would love to hear your thoughts. After having communicated with Visa in the past, they claim that it's safe so I'm curious if I'm mistaken.
> Apple lost its challenge at Germany's top civil court on Tuesday against its classification as a significant market power.

Such disrespect for a courts time should be punished.
>I'm not sure what that would even mean.

What it would mean is something like hq2x, 2xSaI or similar. These algorithms are popularly for emulation of 8 and 16 bit era games consoles. The example image on this Wikipedia page is illustrative of what's possible with a deterministic algorithm:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hqx_(algorithm)

Imagine what could be possible with a well trained neural network, with knowledge of every icon, every element, and every font glyph at every bitmap size.
And I think it's brilliant: it says "ca 2010 technology, the good parts". Technically, it's not exactly correct (according to Wikipedia Core 2 was discontinued a year before the Pebble launched), but it's one of the few lasting iconic names from that era in technology that aren't Apple. RePebble playing with that reference is exactly the same pattern as xyz-90 letter combinations reminiscent of audio cassette blanks popping up all over the music industry when the 80ies revival was in bloom.

Will it eventually end in a "we got sued by Intel!" marketing gambit? Certainly a possibility. Is assume they have played through both scenarios.
But the licensing fees effectively introduced a price floor onto lightning cables. Apple's implementation having issues is a problem because other manufacturers could produce a very cheap alternative, but they would be unable to sell it a low cost due to having to pay the licensing fees.
> I remember chatting with our midwife, and she commented how well (physically) young women (<~23) handle birthing and after.

Probably that's around the age when women had children for most of humanity's existence and what works best.

> Economically, culturally, and emotionally it's not a great idea these days though.

Maybe changing that should be the main focus of our governments? There is a clear quantitative signal (birth rates) that show our current approach to culture and life in general isn't working.
I'll have a go at explaining: The process described in the article isn't a simple recipe that you can apply to any program to achieve similar results.

`jq` is a command-line program that fires up to do one job, and then dies. For such a program, the only property we really want to optimise is execution speed. We don't care about memory leaks, or how much memory the process uses (within reason). `jq` could probably avoid freeing memory completely, and that would be fine. So using a super-stupid allocator is a big win for `jq`. You could probably write your own and make it run even faster.

But for a program with different runtime characteristics, the results might be radically different. A long-lived server program might need to avoid memory bloat more than it needs to run fast. Or it might need to ensure stability more than speed or size. Or maybe speed does matter, but it's throughput speed rather than latency. Each of those cases need to be measured differently, and may respond better to different optimisation strategies.

The comment that confused you is just trying to speak a word of caution about applying the article's recipe in a simplistic way. In the real world, optimisation can be quite an involved job.
I've bought a Mac for the first time in my life after 15 or more years on Linux because the hardware is superior than pcs. Software sucks, not sure how people can live with that, especially tech people. I suffer every day poor and weird design decisions. Phone side, I'm an Android user and I've been living with iphone users in the last 10 years, and I must say the software in iphones is getting comparatively worse and worse. I believe avg app (probably developers) quality is a bit higher, but they usually fall behind functionality wise, and you pay well for that small quality gap. Friends who switched to iphone recently are now switching back. I'm not an average user, but I can see how software quality in apple is going down and affecting real users. Even iphone aficionados are starting to notice, which says a lot.
Chrome disabling uBlock Origin is a serious security threat
No prob! I will rephrase - just be aware that a "salad" is not structured, and what you read above is quite the opposite. My difficulty is that it is not clear what may not be clear to you.

Maybe an instance? That website is divided in sections, each with its own population, and you will easily find many of the form "Those who believe that the moon should be rebuilt with cheese can come here to support each other in this blind persuasion, chanting hooligan choirs (intellectual arguments will be out of place here) against the rest (the "profligates", the "heretic" etc.), so the community can feel strong".

So, you will find hooligans vocally expressing their persuasions (not defending it - just shouting it), proposing world views that would instead require some intellectual defense (hence the mention of Popper), and interpreting phenomena according to the dogma of that world view, painting the world accordingly ("to the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail").

I do not know what you could not understand, so I can only rephrase the other post.

> worrysome

Good, in general - people today are so relaxed! So relaxed they abuse their freedom. If you visited the site in question, you would find an abundance of participants that out of their "relaxation" will abuse you, protected by the distance of the web page. If the abusers went directly to some group of people in person, physically in front of the abused, what would follow would either be restrained violence and the Social effort, expressed in verbal and non verbal communication, to put the offender back in the framework of proper behaviour, or finally that actual violence that was once called "teaching a lesson".

Edit: addendum: the moderation you can find in that place is of the form "Sorry to hear that an apparent minor is taunting you, would you like us to hide its posts?". Normal, correct reply: "No, I want you to correct the brat and teach it manners, as duly in a supposed community".
Ditto Signal. In my local city some Burning Man regulars created a giant Signal group for sharing parties and events. Nearly a thousand members in the same city who post about something to do any night of the week. It's lovely. To join you just need somebody within the group to vet you and you're in.

Group chats reign supreme once you are in good ones.
Did they also leak their competence levels? I guess you have to at least take it into account before comparing salaries. Before anyone gets angry, I just think people should admit inequality in upbringing if that’s the matter of the case and address it specifically rather than hiding it behind socialistic equalization. Because the latter kills competition, and that is incompatible with the whole thing that US is, afaiu. And at the same time it sweeps the actual inequality under the rug, making it very hard to address.
