Revenues of AWS are a significant but smaller part of total Amazon, but the margin there is both huge and not squeezed by competition with all other retailers or the economics of physical goods. The AWS growth has got to be responsible for a huge part of the operating income growth.

"Apart from the financial results, we made our customers’ lives meaningfully better and easier...."

I really dislike how he obviously restricts his vision here to consumers. Amazon weilds such influence and impact that the entire economy should be viewed as the "customer", and I don't believe the story from that context is as rosy and universally positive.
It's also an important word, albeit not a very useful one in this age:

> What you use as an example has nothing to do with inline/"external" scripts at all, but everything to do with setting DOM contents vs text content.

I fail to understand your point (it's certainly an understanding problem on my side)

What I wanted to express is that:
1. you can with some CSP forbid loading of cross origin script (i.e forbid hacker.ru/toto.js ) to be loaded
2. but even if you do this, you also want to block inline script (or use inline+nonce) because evil script can be executed from within your origin by using a vulnerability somehwere between the code and the final dom

> This would have been the exact same hole regardless if it was put there/read by external/inline JavaScript.

yes we both agree that it's the same vulnerability at the end, i'm just saying that you can arrive there from different path, and these different path are protected by different CSP mechanism
Definition: Peasant: 1. A member of the class constituted by small farmers and tenants, sharecroppers, and laborers on the land where they form the main labor force in agriculture. 2. A country person; a rustic. 3. An uncouth, crude, or ill-bred person; a boor.

You unsurprisingly choose the third option. Uncouth, crude and or ill-bred people are probably not especially productive in their working life.

We do know that in China, rural people flock to the cities (where they have diminished welfare provisions and 'rural' status, do the work and are then expected to return to their homes in the country.

Baikal looks interesting. I used DAViCal[0] in the past to share calendars between a couple of Apple iOS devices. When it worked it worked well, but as iOS versions changed it seemed to get unreliable and I eventually gave up.

When I do eventually revisit this I am going to look at DAViCal again, as well as Radicale[1], and now Baikal.

I get the impression that business has always been about being the best schmoozer more than about having the best product.

BTW at Hetzner you can rent servers with very large (hundred of TB) non-redundant storage for an effective price of about $1.50/TB/month. If you want to build a cloud storage product, that seems like a good starting point - of course, once you take into account redundancy, spare capacity, and paying yourself, the prices you charge to your customers will end up closer to the price of Backblaze at a minimum.
Yeah, it didn't suprise me that the only woman in all the demos was coming to interupt the BUSY dev and his Important Work. I was surprised that this is made by Flipper, though!
This is why projects like Librem 5 and Pinephone as so important. Give one to your kid it they will learn computing.
This is exactly the post I've needed.

I have two calendars, one on my personal server running Mailcow (SoGO) and my work calendar with Fastmail.

They don't work together- I've never found a way to get mailcow's calendar to work with other tools well, and so I spend time syncing between them semi-manually.

I've wanted to de-couple the calendar for a while but the only alternative I knew about was Nextcloud, which I think is a bit heavy weight.

This Baïkal looks great and I can't wait to give it a try. Doing this will also allow me to explore changing out Mailcow for another self-hosted mail service.
Anecdote from a friend who teaches a CS course at local university - kids these days arrive at a CS course not knowing how to use a mouse. Well, they obviously understand a concept of a mouse, but actually having experience with using a mouse? None, unless they are a gamer(which tbf, a lot of CS students are). But they get put on a computer in a lab with a mouse and keyboard and some of them genuienly struggle with the mouse. The explanation is simple - desktops are nearly extinct in homes unless you play games(and even then, it's a rare choice), so people have laptops and just use the touchpad as the default method of interaction.
I'd argue there is no "hypocrisy" her because it involves politics.

I take your point, however, "why allow the user to sort by price when they might find a product we get lower commission on?”

Are you not able to sort by price in the US? On Amazon France it is easy to sort by price (either increasing or decreasing).
Air pollution decreased the following year because of COVID and the fact that people were in lockdown and couldn't go anywhere. No one was driving and the number of flights were reduced. There were plenty of stories about how COVID was helping reduce pollution. Here's one as an example: https://www.businessinsider.com/before-after-photos-show-les....
What I was curious about a decade ago was if one could transplant mitochondria from bats into mice (and some day humans) and what effect would it have on their longevity. One of the things that contribute to aging is collateral damage caused by mitochondria operation. Bats due to energy requirements of flight have quite incredible mitochondria.

It probably wouldn't be easy as there's some cellular genetics that influences how given species cells interact with their mitochondria, but recent gene manipulation techniques and successes like "dire wolves" and "woolly mice" give me hope.

Mitochondria are very important and they do gradually wear out. It's so important to have them fresh that all of your mitochondria came from the egg of your mother and were produced in her early development before she was even born and were kept dormant until fertilization so you can get a fresh new set of mitochondria. Male mitochondria that aged (because sperm is produced in adults) and get additionally used up as the sperm moves are completely discarded during the fertilization.
I have a hypothesis that the proportion of really nerdy kids that take to technology hasn't changed and it was always a subset of society. People with affinity for understanding their computer and that find technical concepts natural may just be the oddballs.

My son has found his way to it from watching youtube videos on history of computer viruses. I think it's the path from Minecraft, Minecraft hacks, Minecraft mods....

He recently asked me if we could install windows xp on virtual box like one of the youtuber he watches did. So we set that up. He has been watching youtube about secret features, testing them out and found out what happens when you delete random file in system32. He doesn't get why none of his friends understand anything he says to them about this stuff. In his mind he wonder why aren't they all watching this stuff? I had to explain he's got some pretty niche hobbies even by my standards.
Ask HN: is ChatGPT app using my CPU/GPU for hidden computation?
I was randomdly checking the Activity Monitor on my MacBook Pro 14-inch, Nov 2023 with Apple Silicon M3.
I noticed the native macOS app of ChatGPT taking 10-20% of the CPU while it's not in the foreground...

Is it just really inefficient or doing a ton of http calls without reason?!

Is it possible chatGPT is offloading a bit of computation to my machine?!

Can you also check on your machine and let me know?

> now fewer people can « do » the job of many

Never in the history of humans have we been content with stagnation. The people who used to do manual calculations soon joined the ranks of people using calculators and we lapped up everything they could create.

This time around is no exception. We still have an infinite number of goals we can envision a desire for. If you could afford an infinite number of people you would still hire them. But Shopify especially is not in the greatest place right now. They've just come off the COVID wind-down and now tariffs are beating down their market further. They have to be very careful with their resources for the time being.

> - they did not learn much because LLM did work for them

If companies are using LLMs as suggested earlier, they will find jobs operating LLMs. They're well poised for it, being the utmost experts in using them.

> - there is no new jobs required because we are more productive ?

More productivity means more jobs are required. But we are entering an age where productivity is bound to be on the decline. A recession was likely inevitable anyway and the political sphere is making it all but a certainty. That is going to make finding a job hard. But for what scant few jobs remain, won't they be using LLMs?
I don't disagree. Sugar isn't a harmless chemical either! It's significantly worse than fluoride at the quantities we consume. The problem is how to actually do something about it.

Adding fluoride to water is insanely effective for how easy it is. The 70% of Americans who drink fluorinated water get a free 25% reduction in cavities without active involvement.

What would it take to see a similar impact from sugar reduction? I can pretty much guarantee it won't be voluntary! I assume you're going to need to start by making Coke illegal, stop subsidizing corn syrup, ban most fast food and restaurant chains, and retool many of our factories.

But that sounds like political suicide, and we haven't even attempted it despite the growing mountain of evidence to the harms of sugar.

Show HN: Display weather for up to 3 cities for comparison inside Neovim
I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same, but the current weather Plugin/App always confuses me about the weather. I wish the temperature could be shown in a vertical bar. That way, it would be much easier to quickly see the low and high temperatures at a glance.

Also, I really hope to be able to see the temperature in my hometown for comparison. so I wrote this neovim weather plugin: https://github.com/rmrf/weather.nvim

Features:
- Display weather for up to 3 cities for comparison
- Show min/max temperatures at a glance

The biggest contrast for me between Oxbridge and another red brick was the Oxbridge tutors aren't shy of saying "You've not done the homework, go away and stop wasting my time", whereas the red brick approach was to pick you up and carry you over the finishing line (at least until the hour was up).

I don't know the man at all, but this letter is exactly like every public speech and post I've ever seen or heard from him: a bowl of plain oatmeal that's completely on-brand.

Usability Improvements in GCC 15
I would actually wager that benefits dont matter to them anymore. If it's government, it's bad. Full stop. Conservatives don't really have any real stances. They are obstructionists at this point. They anti-. That's it. If someone proposes something they will obstruct and disagree because they didn't come up with it.

There are clear benefits. They just refuse to see them. You can show a mountain of evidence based on peer reviewed research and they'll hand waive it away and say "Private enterprise could do it better" or some nonsense.
If you're talking about Lin Wood, Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, that's simply wrong. We all saw the news reports about what the election deniers did.
Turns out this varies widely by culture. In many places, it's taboo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat

If you'd like a different example that gets the same feeling, try substituting something else considered treif in your culture, like "roasted eyeballs" or "a human hand". My point being that people who are used to eating some kinds of meat see it as perfectly reasonable, but that has a lot to do with what they've been socialized to. In contrast, raised in vegetarian cultures often find eating any meat equally horrific. Which is the position I find intellectually most rational.

As a new and naive parent I thought I would get my kid into hacking and computers by giving them a laptop with a basic Linux install as their first computer. I had visions of teaching them how to program and doing cool things with Arduino and kinds of awesome hacker projects.

All I achieved was to convince them that computers are hard and stupid and not fun, and that iPads and Playstation are superior in every way.
Ironically, I can make the case that programming killed Real(TM) technical competence.

"Back in my day you had to solve dense differential equations to design a circuit to get a filtered output on a amplifier! And then you had to manually build it! Nowadays these kids just use libraries and pass it variables to get the output they want!"

I don't think technical competence goes away, it just changes form from what you recognize as technical competence.

> Now try that sentence with "leg of a dog".

If that's the best choice in front of me, sure. I'm not going to starve to death just because it is dog. Are you?

> I also don't think he was talking about activists.

There was said to be support. That requires activism of some sort. You don't have to gather in the streets in mass promotion, wear certain colored hats, or fly party flags, but there has to be some kind of activity to suggest that the support is there. That isn't someone quietly eating a burger (or dog leg) in the corner.
I don't know how things could be worse than 30-40 years ago. Not many people had access to computers, and it they had, it was either for business, or for playing games. In both cases, it was just going through a well-known path to achieve the goal, no exploration, no experimenting. Only a very small minority of kids were interested in programming. The fact that we have more accessible technology now doesn't change the fact that only a small minority of kids are interested in programming. The difference these days is that if they are interested in programming, they have so many resources available. YouTube videos on every single topic, AI chatbots capable of answering programming questions. If I had these tools as a kid, not having to rely on the 5 books in the local library, I'd learn so much more.

first, at the end the effect is the same (XSS which can be used to extract information), the difference is "how someone can get to it" and "how you protect yourself from it"

1.to be honest you should refrain yourself from loading resource outside of domain you control
2. even if you do, you can protect yourself from somebody replacing jquery.js by something totally different by using <script integrity='the_hash'>
3. if it's a CDN your control it's usually quite hard to inject something into the resource because a potential hacker has no obvious input on it (and you still can protect it by using the above script integrity=
4. so then most people feel safe and forget that inline script can still be dynamically created if you have a hole in your libraries generating DOM code, so this path of attack need to be blocked completly (forbidding inline script at all) or protected (using nonce)
Thanks for sharing! I think I started working on large teams around the same time using Angular 2 (shudders).

It’s so nice to see the learning from a multi year UI development project and the evolution of how to communicate good patterns across teams and people. It usually turns into 50% technical thinking & 50% political respect to ensure others help champion your ideas with you

Ah, I was addressing the first sentence in particular, about the conflation of anti-Israel sentiment and antisemitism.

As for Columbia... no, there's zero reason to think they supported Hamas. There might well be antisemitism in the roots of this somewhere -- left-wing antisemitism is a real thing and didn't appear in response to Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

But there is zero reason to think that the people being harassed are antisemitic. That is a right-wing belief that all Muslims are terrorists.

Just to be clear about my perceptions: Israel does face serious terrorism from Muslim countries, and I think that this reaches American young people by being "washed" through anti-semitic (white) intellectuals. But attacking university students for their sincere and non-violent beliefs is horrific (even if I think that some of their beliefs are wrong).
I think what they mean is what they say unless proven otherwise. Attributing dishonesty to someone without any evidence is passé.
I agree, the proportion of really nerdy kids is the same, it's the proportion of really nerdy junior hires that has changed.
