The worst possible antitrust outcome

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-11 18:29:13

Today's links The worst possible antitrust outcome (permalink) Well, fuck. Last year, Google lost an antitrust case to Biden's DoJ. The DoJ lawyers beat Google like a drum, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Google had deliberately sought to create and maintain a monopoly over search, and that they'd used that monopoly to make search materially worse, while locking competitors out of the market. In other words, the company that controls 90% of search attained that control by ill

Hardening Firefox – a checklist for improved browser privacy

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Marder 2025-10-17 14:26:35

This checklist will walk you (and me) through the settings and extensions I use to improve my privacy when using Firefox. If you’re looking for a web browser that offers a high degree of privacy out of the box with minimal setup, Brave is a common choice. However, I prefer Firefox for several reasons: Firefox is developed by the nonprofit organization Mozilla. I value Mozilla’s commitment to open source software. Firefox is not based on Chromium.

Ghrc.io appears to be malicious

news.ycombinator.com Brandon Mitchell 2025-10-29 04:27:52

A simple typo of ghcr.io to ghrc.io would normally be a small goof. You’d typically get a 404 or similar error, finally work out the issue, fix it, and move along. But in this case, that typo appears to be doing something very malicious, stealing GitHub credentials. First, a quick bit of background. ghcr.io is an OCI conformant registry for container images and OCI artifacts used by a lot of projects.

Bootstrapping the Future: From Resource Estimation to Quantum Advantage

Quantum Algorithms That Work A central problem in quantum computing is the development of domain-specific algorithms that enable real scientific and economic contributions. Quantum algorithms in numerous domains such as finance, chemistry, physics, and biology are being developed with the intention of achieving quantum advantage, i.e. to derive deeper insights relative to established algorithms on classical machines.
