> Why is it not ethical?

Agreeing to something you have no intention of following through with is unethical.

> These companies don't care

It's about your ethics, not the company's. If you think the company is unethical, don't work for them.

True, but don't forget that reforestation also prevents from erosion and can stop desert grow, moisturize the air which brings water to places where lakes or oceans are too far away, forest even protect clean and feed rivers.
It's also the main storage on the Wii, DSi, 3DS, (maybe Wii U, but it also had USB storage. I guess the Wii did too.) and Switch. An SD card reader lets you back up your game saves or install homebrew.

More recently there's the PinePhone as well. It's not just expandable storage, you can boot off the SD and have all your OS and files there.

I would say I definitely use SD cards more than flash drives now.
One small complaint I have is that there is already a popular project called RedBean: https://www.redbeanphp.com/
Windows quality has gone up significantly since XP. I no longer associate Windows with constant crashing like I used to. Android has also gotten miles better, I haven't had any weird system-related bugs in so long (the worst I've gotten is some slowness).

The main issue is that Microsoft and Android developers (I guess mainly Google) are getting their shit together (resulting in some decent software), whereas Apple software quality is in a freefall, failing in some extremely basic use cases, and has been for a while.

Desktop OSs are one thing, but in 2 years do you think iOS will be more usable than Android on comparable hardware? I already don't think so. The momentum is definitely against Apple

For reference it costs about $25,000 over a period of 6 to 9 months to train a service dog. If you see somebody with a service dog it's because they absolutely need it.

There are waiting lists, background checks, interviews, even the owners themselves are trained. There is nothing in the process of getting a service dog that is taken lightly.

EDIT: 6-9 months may be on the low side for training a service dog. This place does 9-12 months not including the initial physical/behavioral testing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Service_Dogs#Training
First, you don't score points with me for saying not to use Hadoop when you don't need to use Hadoop.

Second, you don't get to pretend you invented shell scripting because you came up with a new name for it.

Third, there are very few cases if any where writing a shell script is better than writing a Perl script.
I disagree. I believe education is an excellent way to free the north korean people from the brainwashing machine that is the DPRK.

More DPRK people with the hacker mindset (e.g. not just accepting answers but asking questions, a hunger for knowledge, etc) would in the long term be a really great thing for everyone but the leaders of DPRK.
> You seem to give Sony too much credit, and also forget that they had a file server with open internal access which had a directory called "Passwords" which contained a plain text file with all the credentials to their internal servers.

FWIW this is my experience with multi-billion dollar companies with thousands of employees and full time professional IT staff.

Perhaps we can get other security professionals to chime in.

Once you get a foothold in a corporate environment, it is the unfortunate truth (I'm sure others will back me up here) that it is very easy to move around without 'island hopping with exploits'. For the most part, pivoting by passing-the-hash will work for 99% of networks.

It is also my understanding that the malware that was purchased for this compromise had the capability to persist across the network, to exfiltrate data, and to sabotage computers.
Learning and knowledge are _good_things_, for people anywhere, including NK. If enough people are educated, it is feasable to expect they would push for regime change and more freedoms for themselves. I expect this will eventually happen in China as well where the cat is out of the bag and more and more people have an expectation of individual liberty, leading them to desire political freedom as well.
I don't see how he broke the guidelines.
The article also assumes artists are the main agents of change as if without them change would not happen. I would not be so sure about that -- I think its more that they happen to be artists but they could easily be students or any other spearhead of change which might pave the way for followers. The force making housing unaffordable in silicon valley is not artists but tech workers and everyone else trying to find a ride on that economic wave...

Anyway its all part of bigger forces, economic, social, demographic, etc.

Not to jump to conclusions, but I think you are conflating a couple issues here, COPA exists and seeks to among other things prevent data collection of/on minors.

Googles implementation of family link is a ridiculously ham handed implementation of a walled garden type approach which is so bad it’s hard to imagine it is not purposefully designed to push folks to just lie about their children’s age.
bit of an ironic example, lebron is considered one of the most undervalued athletes by contract value. mostly due to salary cap and wage scale restrictions in the nba, things the nba players union agreed to.

also see messi's contract for an example of what these athletes are worth in an open market: https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/lionel-messi-barcelona...

obviously soccer and basketball aren't apples to apples. but look around the nba and you see many salaries across the top of the scale that suggest the top performers are vastly underpaid.

If you were a member of AWU, that would very much be a legitimate issue to bring to your workplace unit chair.

AWU does advocate for the interests of workers, as demonstrated by this article. It's just that full-time employees don't tend to have as many issues as the temps do.
For example, by having a queue that only gets sent when you were going to send something anyway. When you have tiny bits of information, you're getting into the space where setting up the connection, starting the radios or getting them to an active power level is more taxing on the system than the actual sending of the payload.

"No need to worry" doesn't equal 'zero bits transferred', but more like 'so little the impact is immeasurable to you'.
Actually, no it wasn't. The one you are referring to is:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Also "Agile" doesn't feel ritualistic and process heavy. I'm probably now doing what you refer to as the "you're doing it wrong".

Agile itself is not ritualistic and process heavy. Specific frameworks and people are. E.g. take a SAFe consultant trying to get a paycheck from a large corporation. Of course that's gonna be ritualistic and process heavy. That's the point of SAFe and even in the name. They're trying to sell a "safe" implementation of agile practices to enterprise organizations. Safe in the sense of not actually having to change all that much. Basically keep what you have but you can call yourself agile now. Comes with a rubber stamp too now!

That's way different than a company trying to actually live agile values as defined in the manifesto. E.g. throw away your issue tracking tool to build your software and put a bunch of post it notes all over the walls at the office. Talk to your peers. Build awesome software together from rough drafts on a post it. Or how a friend of mine describes working at Tesla: "Jira issues? Yeah we write those after implementation is done so that the AC match what we did". Awesome!
> It's also a bit strange to argue about "easier to write manually" in this day and age of Markdown, HAML, etc.

But, by that logic, isn't it also strange to argue about making HTML's syntax more consistent if we should be using Markdown/HAML/etc to generate it anyway?

BTW, i do agree with you in that having a more consistent syntax is better than having a syntax that aims to save a few keystrokes at the expense of adding special rules. As a user, i find it more difficult to have to remember which cases are special than to read or write a more consistent syntax. I just don't see how your comment on Markdown/HAML helps the case for a simpler HTML syntax ;)
> most programmers

Really depends on where you're coming from. Anyone who has dipped their toes in embedded programming will immediately know they are equivalent, and many will correct /2 to a bitshift, because that's what you want to happen.

I get that bit twiddling is obscure outside of low level programming, but bit shifts really is kindergarten stuff in this domain.
In my experience, this has gotten better. That was CloudFlare, and they've stopped now. I can't think of a single site that requires CAPTCHAs for Tor users other than archive.is, actually.
I'm not sure if we fit your description but our "core hours" are 10-16, which is a bit different from other companies in the industry: and there's a lot more focus on getting tasks done vs being in the office with your arse in the seat (though how much of that is COVID? unsure, but the company culture is affected a lot by how we worked during the pandemic as this is when most people got onboarded- we more than quadrupled in size since the start of the pandemic).

I believe I have ADHD, I'm seeking a diagnosis (or at the very least for someone to confirm that I'm just extremely lazy), which in Sweden is actually very difficult, and so far this has been the best company to work for.

That said: I personally have a lot of responsibility, and with responsibility comes more "free reign" on what needs to happen -- this is definitely where I lack the focus to understand what needs to happen next as I get paralysed when there's equally important tasks.. This is not the case for the majority of my company though.

anyone interested in cars, engineering or design (or a combination) should watch it.

there's also a great podcast episode featuring him https://collectingcars.com/podcasts/ (episode 21).

sorry since I don't have much to say about the article itself, wanted to share this though.

I dislike almost everything about modern cars (touch is the least of my problems) ; usability, 'repairability', electronic assistance, cameras, trend towards SUVs (even if only for driving children to school), weight and size increase, technical gizmos, et cetera ... don't want to write that rant in full right now.
> "I wouldn't applaud it being adopted since the raised numbers make it easier to read by eye."

I disagree with this. The new-style card numbers are printed in a much more legible typeface, with more contrast than the old raised numbers. Much easier to read IMO, although the blind may disagree! I've had no issues with the ink wearing off on any of my cards.
Take your argument to its logical conclusion and maybe you'll see the contradiction: Qatar has the worst CO2 emissions per capita, so clearly that's where you should focus your efforts.

> Also, new nuclear, hydro, solar, and wind are not competitive with already built coal or natural gas power plants [...] costs

While this is completely true, if you stick to financial justification for changes, you aren't going to succeed anywhere. If any of the other methods were more cost effective in the short term, they'd already have switched.

I doubt it's fruitful to talk about any of this. You seem pretty certain you're right, and I doubt I could change your mind on anything.

I don't believe this. If this were true, it would imply that the decision version of the integer factorization problem is not NP-complete. That sounds too good to be true.
Whenever a new Grand Theft Auto comes out, I buy it and plan to use nearly all my free time playing through it. It's better just to get in it, get expert, and get it over with. Then I can return to a more normal life. It's the same obsessiveness that makes me a pretty good coder, I suppose.

Usually, the only other games I play are ones recommended by a friend in the gaming industry. He introduced me to Braid. Sometimes, I'll play a game which gets a lot of coverage in nerdy, non-gaming channels, like Portal.

How about OpenTTD?

http://www.openttd.org/en/

It definitely doesn't fit your first criteria, as it is phenomenally complex and took me weeks to get the hang of using signal lights to route trains without collision. I found it pretty engrossing, though, and easy enough to play in spurts when time allowed.
Cool. The main annoyance is that if I could use Safari too, I would. I used to when I had Windows. But now that I'm on Linux, it's Chrome/FF/Opera or bust. Teasers like this are annoying.

How do you control for natural variations in the popularity of different segments, then?

Say that you're Yelp, and you make a change to the Boston section of your website. Unbeknownst to you, a competitor has sprung up for local Bostonian reviews, and is rapidly gaining market share. You see your Boston pages drop in rankings, but it may not be because of the change you made. It may be because a bunch of Google's other signals have picked up that this other competitor is suddenly much more popular, and are adjusting ranking accordingly.
Result looks great! Much better than the "stabilisation" of YouTube that easily makes you sick (I think they shut it down ?).
Softbank would be stupid to do that though.
People will still be talking about how the US doesn't have contactless payments another five years from now. It's an inexpensive way to feel good.
..just dont go to Germany. We are not very advanced in that regard.

Of course huge amounts of stores offer contactless paying, but generally Cash is still dominant around here. Change is slow, and currently, Cash is still king, especially with small or street merchants.

I'm somewhat ignorant of superconductors. I know that it's a material that has zero electrical resistance, so a current flowing along a loop of superconductive material will flow forever, or something like that.

> Anecdotally, I’ve heard lots of people argue that poor people are only poor because they have poor financial skills

This is certainly a thing. I know people who could be firmly in the middle class, but instead live paycheck to paycheck or worse due to very poor financial decisions they continue to make.
BSD doesn’t have a patent grant, so it would still be protected by patent, even if there’s no copyright restriction on commercial entities using the code.

Low fodmap was of enormous help to me too. For years I thought I had gluten issues, as most bread caused me trouble.

Turns out every wheat product with the exception of sourdough wheat bread is high fodmap! I tried low fodmap and nearly instantly got a lot better. And I can now eat some fodmaps by reintroducing in lower amounts.

Highly recommend anyone with ibs try this. It is complicated but you can get free or cheap apps that let you search ingredients fast to figure out what to remove.

And the great part is the intolerance is quantity based. So, celery in a recipe? No problem. Just don’t eat a massive amount of it. Very much unlike any kind of hard avoidance plan.

This won’t solve all issues but give it an honest shot. Mine has moved from seriously debilitating to minor inconvenience.
The reasoning here is airtight.
> It feels like a lot engineers now days don't seem to have a good cs background. They don't see to understand things like cache, paging, virtual memory,cpu pipelines, algorithms or other things pretty fundamental to CS.

Yes but nearly every software developer job is web stuff these days and in the web world, they don't need it. (Cue all the HN posters saying "college is a waste of money" and "it's just a piece of paper".) All they need to be able to do is glue together libraries and frameworks created by people who do happen to have good CS backgrounds. You really have to go out of your way to find jobs that actually require knowing "cache, paging, virtual memory, cpu pipelines, algorithms", etc.

> When we have the next industry crash (.com crash) will these people stick around?

It won't crash, because everybody needs a web site these days, but it will become commoditized because the bar to entry keeps getting lower and lower. I've seen some comments already on HN saying that software pay is gradually becoming bimodal.
I'm confused, my photo/facebook info and name pop up next to my comment when I go to comment... I thought this was anonymous?
"Don't use" and "only use for people who actively opt-in" are two separate things, so no it doesn't come down to what you care about.

I'm saying give people choice, let them figure out what they care about. Making the choice for them is bad business and bad ethics. You don't know better than your users.

> Styling nested view controllers is a pain. You are taken back to the root view controller after each refresh.

It's so interesting how once you get used to instant feedback loop, anything that's longer is perceived as a pain. We want to find a solution for this though :)
This is a fair criticism. As we build up a larger data set we hope that more value can be attached to the it and the insights be more indicative of the community. Until then we are just interested to share what we are currently finding with the new primary data we have collected.

We could definitely do with a statistician to help us out and minimise any selection bias, but i think that comes when we increase the amount in our data set by another order of magnitude or two. :)
I always sucked at stats, so can someone clarify the income / hapiness case. From what I understand, we have :

* a straight line on a log scale - which is misleading, since the man on the street is used to straight lines on linear scales - telling that money buys happiness

* a "log-like" graph on a linear scale, which tells you that "money buys happiness a lot at the start, and then it doesn't change things a lot" - and the graph uses a linear scale on both axis, so there is less deformation.

What am I missing ?
Why is it sad if it turns out a subset of people are already behaving in a way that analysis indicates promotes better flow?
