I disagree with "There's a reflex for a person to think of themselves as using a single role" -- weirdly enough, humans are so hardwired to manage complex social situations that they can manage a few different personas intuitively, along with linguistic and bodily cues about who they are trying to be.

I agree with your second statement but I'd invite you to consider that this actually supports my point. Human beings are naturally, unconsciously able switch personas so they tend not to be consciously aware of that switch.

As you say, it's done by cues and reflex. And thing about the Internet is people don't notice what they're not noticing. Just as an example, Flame wars come specifically because people don't understand that their "compass" isn't there. The same problem is there with multiple roles.

Yes all that good stuff you mention is happening. I am aware of it because I've studied a bit myself but the average person isn't aware of it even as they do it.

There are two ideal goals:
- create a UI that allows both sufficient cues to get allow people to activate their useful unconscious filtering process (and which manufacture some places and situations which assures a person they can safely let go of those filtering mechanisms).
- Present this UI in a frame where the conscious mind can accept it. Saying "it let you sneak around behind your boss' back" might be true but it isn't something a person's "presentation of self to self" would be inclined to accept.

Sometime the statement "The most brilliant advertisers in history have been those who've found a way to sell things to people 'they didn't know they needed'" can be true in a good way! The average person doesn't know they need multiple roles online so a new product needs to combine framing, education and UI really creatively.
An artist did a very interesting thing a few years ago: He made a pencil from scratch.

He cut the wood, mined the graphite, melted the lead, and created the eraser from a rubbertree. His pencil ended up costing thousands and thousands of dollars. Yet you can go to the nearest office outlet and buy ten pencils for a dollar. This is because of globalisation. Someone somewhere has specialised in making pencils and churn out millions of them a year, driving the cost down to almost nothing. The same is true of almost all other products.

This is the primary reason our standard of living increases, most economists agree on this.

Protectionism usually comes around when times are bad and countries need a scapegoat and a bad guy whose fault it is. For the US it used to be Mexico, now it's China. But the fact is that open trade helps both them and us (they get to sell goods, we get cheaper pencils), besides it works both ways. Denmark, for instance, specialises in hearing aids and container shipping both of which we have a more than 50% global share of. The world gets cheap hearing aids because Denmark massproduces them, and in return Denmark gets cheap pencils and other stuff that someone else somewhere produces.

Politicians. thoughtleaders and policy makers across the world are aware of this mechanic but often use protectionism as a political weapon, knowing that it's bad for their economy.

Nations are more economically intertwined and trade more than ever before, and it's not going to stop anytime soon. There might be a bump in the road, as there often is when times are bad, but it's not going to stop.

Globalisation is here to stay, and you should be happy for it. It means that you can get a Wii for the price of a digital watch ten years ago.
Thanks for the perspective. Very interesting.
I'd like a locally-hosted IFTTT+Appium type thing that'd use my local hardware/software/applications in place of myself... basically turning all interactions (viewing data, posting data, checking for updates/changes) into an API for accessibility software, home automation software, custom notifications, etc.
More broadly, the San Francisco livability crisis is out of control. Poop is only a visible and easily disagreeable symptom of the broader problem.

The local government can patch symptoms of the problem but some of them (housing, mental health, opioid epidemic) are state-level or national problems that the local government have very little power or ability to solve. Some of the law and order issues are issues the local govt can solve, but there isn't an incentive to solve them.
>What is material that is supposed to capitalize on surprise?

It's a hard one to answer but I'll give the answers I can from my time in university. It's hard mostly because each instructor handles the material differently so often examples are oneshots.

With regard to sociology and anthropology, the Nacirema are often presented as a real tribe at first. Many students will realize what's happening, but the point of the assignment is to encourage students to realize that from the outside even their own culture is strange and in this way, so the idea goes, they are better able to view things from a neutral position because of this lesson on cultural introspection.

Other examples could be things like literature readings of classical texts. Many students are uncomfortable saying the N-Word, for obvious reasons, but censoring it diminishes the significance of the word and while that's not a bad thing in day to day life it's nonetheless bad if your goal is to impart on your students a sense of what weight that word carried in its historical context.

Movies are another good example. There are lots of classic movies that get shown to illustrate a point but part of the point is a conclusion that's arrived at over the course of a movie. On my mind when I say this is the short movie about a teacher who basically invents racism by telling her class children with one color of eye are better than the others and then later she reverses this decision. In both cases the children treated the inferior group overall worse and none of them liked being the inferior group.

>These things are rarely core issues of lectures, triggers based on what I read can be completely random things (not actual depictions of rape, but smell, sound color) which may make them useless for most.

This is ultimately the core point. Triggers are nuanced and often specific to the individual. There's no easy way to know in advanced what might set something off and so encouraging trigger warnings is ultimately encouraging censorship of long practiced content (whether that censorship is outright or in the form of encouraging a hopefully less confrontational presentation of the content which diminishes the emotional impact of the lesson).
Is there any benefit to deepfake technology besides maybe entertainment?
Could he only cares about correctness, then it becomes the opposite of ironic.
Hi HN! I'm Syrus, from the Wasmer team.

We are very excited about this release as it enables running server-side WebAssembly on ARM devices. If you have a Raspberry Pi or any other ARM (Aarch64) device... now you can use WebAssembly there!
> "Deepfakes can be used for many of the things we already know," [co-director of the Nixon film Francesca] Panetta says, "but also to create kind of alternative histories or have the potential to kind of rewrite history as well."

Movies, from Hollywood and elsewhere, have been convincing people of rewritten histories since their inception. How well known is the story of the real Spartacus compared to the Hollywood Spartacus? How many people's vision of the antebellum US South came from Gone With The Wind rather than from historical documents and interviews with former slaves and slave-owners? Birth of a Nation inspired the revival of a terrorist organization that lasted decades; Triumph of the Will painted the Nazis' rise as a matter of noble heroism triumphing over cowardice. Last week I argued with some epistemologically incompetent person who wanted me to watch an anti-vaccine movie about Gardasil, apparently unaware that YouTube videos are not really a publication venue used by medical researchers.

So, what should we do about it? Well, the Soviets had an answer: since movies were so powerful, people would be carefully vetted before they got access to the equipment needed to make them, and if someone made a movie with harmful contents anyway, they would go to GULAG. Is that the solution we want?
True. I edited it to be nicer.
Especially they are suggesting that if not mentioned in the docs, a non-breaking add of a field should result in a new api version...
Not only did sales increase incrementally, but nobody seemed to notice.

What does this mean? This "nobody even noticed!" attitude he expresses several times seems very ignorant to me. Sure, very few people heard that Instapaper had a free iPhone app, didn't look for it right away, then a month later searched for it, saw it wasn't in the App Store, and emailed or tweeted Marco personally asking what happened. This is the only chain of events I can see leading to a potential user giving Marco direct feedback, the lack of which is what he seemed to interpret as "nobody noticed."

If you change a bunch of road signs, but everyone from the neighborhood is on vacation and so no one sees the new configuration and exclaims "What is this?!", does that suddenly mean that new drivers won't act differently in response to the new road sign configurations? Note that assuming that somehow "everyone from the neighborhood is on vacation" is not at all an unrealistic assumption to make. People who had already downloaded the free app were golden when he removed it, so long as they didn't wipe their iPhone or upgrade. You could argue that maybe they would've thought "huh, why haven't I gotten updates in a while?" First of all, I doubt anyone thinks like that. I know I certainly don't think about updates until the App Store tells me I have 10 and I get frustrated at it; I only notice when apps require updates, not when they don't require updates. Second of all, they may have just thought the free app would be getting less updates than the paid one.

And there are countless other reasons why "no one has personally emailed me about the absence of this" is a terrible reason to conclude "nobody really cared" and especially (what I think he is implicitly getting at) "no potential future buyers of the paid app were turned off by the absence of a free app." Maybe they only cared a little and got bored once they couldn't find it in the app store, but otherwise would've been engaged by the app or (since he acknowledges that there are few converts) have been interested enough to tell friends who would eventually pay for it. Maybe, and this is _crazy_ to propose, a significant number of geeks went looking for the free app having heard a lot about Instapaper, saw there was no free app, were pissed, but didn't know or think or care to email Marco about it; maybe they thought he did it purposefully and didn't want to bug him, maybe they were intimidated, maybe they didn't know who Marco was, etc.
Is anyone going to admit to this?

I have done it before, rarely, but only on new submissions if the article sounds interesting enough to deserve some traction.
If I had that kind of cash, I think I'd probably turn toward angel investing as well. It seems that returns can be significantly higher that most stock transactions.

However, you did see how Google stock skyrocketed after their IPO; Facebook will (I think) do the same, so it's likely a good investment but I certainly wouldn't sink my life savings.

Hell, I just wish I had savings at all!
What kind of games care about such specific instructions? Unless you are writing something in assembly, that's not something game developers usually are focused on.
And when people talk about "PAT", they're actually talking about a form of NAT that doesn't block connections.

Here's how you do "PAT" on Linux: `iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wan0 -j MASQUERADE`. Notice how it's limited to outbound connections ("-o wan0")? That means it doesn't apply to inbound connections, and thus doesn't have any effect on the behavior of inbound connections.

If it doesn't have any effect on the behavior of inbound connections, then how could it possibly block inbound connections?

(The typical consumer configuration pairs "PAT" with a firewall, and the firewall does block inbound connections. It's also typical to pair it with RFC1918 addresses, which doesn't block connections but does make it much harder for most people to make the relevant connections in the first place. None of that changes the fact that "PAT" doesn't block connections.)
One year but not a day more (data protection laws).
It runs fine on my crap Motorola Android. So, something is afoot with GPs device.
No, you are making the straw man argument. The argument is not that the exact same people have been holding the exact same jobs with exactly the same pay the whole time. There's a reason you found it so simple to lampoon. That reason is you chose to view the argument as naively as possible.

The argument is that any minimum wage earner is worse off than a minimum wage earner the year prior, and the year prior, and the year prior, etc. By holding the minimum wage fixed, we are making the default decision that a minimum wage earner tomorrow should have less effective purchasing power than a minimum wage earner today.
To scratch a similar itch today, I self-host (well, on Heroku) an instance of Huginn (https://github.com/huginn/huginn). It's a bit of a different model, but works nicely. It's also pretty straightforward to extend by adding your own agents (especially if you know ruby/rails, which it is written in).
How "simple" are they? I remember so long ago, there was some amazing Flash graphics, so 10 years later, there's no way we can't get much more impressive ones.
I'll admit to not even looking at these services in a very long time, but OKCupid had experimented with setting up the first date more spontaneously, but it was before ubiquitous smart phones so they didn't go very far with it, IIRC.

If you had the app on, and it knew you were in proximity to some sort of match, then it could notify each party and provide a message like, "would you like an introduction to so-and-so? You're both within walking distance of an art exhibit - meet a new person and enjoy some fine art!"
this is not native browser behaviour and will only work if you include a JS lib that provides this functionality based on a classname of "sortable"
It’s nothing like that at all. Those are opinions influenced by technical expertise and experience. User interfaces and design that people like is completely based on personal preferences and tastes. It’s more like the driving instructor telling the pupil that they are factually incorrect for liking Ford cars because of some technical inferiority the instructor believes they have over some other car.

Your technical insight doesn’t make your user experience any more or less valuable or important.
Here's another Gandhi quote:

Regarding forcible registration with the state of blacks: “One can understand the necessity for registration of Kaffirs who will not work.” (Reference: CWMG, Vol I, p. 105)
Yes. This was only the initial jury trial. I'm sure this will be working its way through the courts for some time to come.
Damn, I guess we can expect to see some pretty serious games in the browser.
Cardinality is a measure of size, and (by definition) all countably infinite sets have the same number of elements based on the principle that any two sets for which we have a bijection between them are of the same size.

Ordinals deal with something else: complexity of orderings upon sets. As the ordinals get "larger", the orderings they represent get increasingly complicated. Once we're past the Church-Kleene ordinal, they're so convoluted that we can't algorithmically compare them.

Those are some crazy urls. Looks like the site is trying to stuff them full of keywords, but seems overboard to me.
Not a bad launch. I'm curious to hear about how you marketed and gained your initial users. Care to share a bit?
Wait for the appeal. It will go to DC where there are at least a few more technological judges who understand this whole mess.
Simply amazing. It is so smooth in chrome 10 on win7.

Too bad that we have to worry about MS and IE not supporting it. Maybe there will be a plugin, but that defeats the purpose.
Also, you should patch up the XSS vulnerabilities in the box name. ;)
Sorry to be inquisitive even further, I am not in Poland but my friend is thinking about moving there. Are you talking Warsaw here or a smaller town (Krakow, Wroclaw, Tricity area)?

10+ years later... If he'd 'rolled' and is as talented as he obviously is, he could have been sitting where he is now years ago.

Look at J.K. Rowling, she got a 1,000 book release and told "get a day job". She rolled when the US wanted to make changes, even to the name or face rejection. Now she's virtually a billionaire. I'm not saying he'd be a billionaire, but he could have been making more money than he is now.

Literary careers either seem to fizzle out or just keep growing. Look at John Scalzi, it took years before his literary career beat his day job, but it kept growing. The same can be said for dozens of sci-fi and fantasy writers, including many of the greats.
You have to understand, there's a vast flood of people at Stack Overflow who haven't read the documentation, or at least not with any care. Every time I see a post asking, "Why is my code leaking when I write `self.foo = [[Thing alloc] init]`?" I know that person has not taken the time to read the Cocoa memory management guide. Reading that guide will benefit those people a lot more than me just answering their one question while they remain ignorant of the topic as a whole.

So if someone links you to some docs, their brain probably just incorrectly pattern-matched you as that very common kind of poster.
That article starts with a reference to an earlier blog post which seems to be more in line with what you are saying. Perhaps in future you could read the articles you link to and include the relevant information? A link is not an argument in itself.
> We played outside (there was nothing to do inside anyway)

Having happily spent hours playing with the dirt under a bush in my front yard with Star Wars action figures when I was young, lost in my imagination, aided by props, I lament the complete shift that has occurred for many kids. It's a sea change, and I was ecstatic recently when my toddler niece played in the dirt on my watch - only got caught because she got dirt on her cheeks - I hope she never loses that curiousity - her parents were away...

Now my nephews - my sister has successfully resisted the introduction of video games for at least six years - hope she can continue to fight. For when the video game console gets in, it will change expectations forever.

It's true that I'm counting relevance to the topic in the conversation. Given that these are replies to a thread with a normative statement, the responses are either a fallacy or completely off-topic. I chose the more charitable interpretation.
I really liked this book. The author gives not too much, but not too little info.. there are pictures to illustrate the steps, and he cuts out all the BS that you find in alot of places and emphasizes practical applications.

Additionally:

In theory I could use this to a/b test completely different paths for a project to take, or a selection of different project ideas. It's so simple to upload, and I can do this without having a video demo. You might even be able to just take $10 as a flat upfront fee per listing once you've proven that good ideas get funding there.
As a UX/UI designer, this is entirely the wrong conclusion to make. Users come in all shapes and forms with different priorities, distractions and abilities. They are good at the things that matter to them.

A common mistake software developers make is believing their software is important enough to warrant the investment in time it takes to learn it.

It usually isn't.
Journalists quote corporate communications in their journalism all the time, so what’s your point?

I've been working on my own terminal for a while now, and capturing the output of separate commands and reusing it is one it its unique features. See Extraterm in [action here](http://extraterm.org/features.html#shell-integration)

It doesn't quite do what you are asking though. There is shell integration for some fancy features and it works with the most common 'normal' shells. I don't have a custom shell or similar which deeply integrates with Extraterm to automatically run commands in separate panes or windows.

Extraterm is based around the idea of a stack of 'blocks' which can hold output, images or more complex data (possiblye tabular data) etc. Although I haven't tried it directly, emulating something like a Jupyter notebook should be possible after writing some extensions via Extraterm's extension API.

A session spanning 'global' history would be fairly easy to implement as an Extraterm extension.

Getting what you in particular are asking for to work across ssh, containers, etc is difficult. You need to run your own code (=shell or "command runner") on the remote end somehow and you don't want a manual installation step everywhere. The only thing left is doing some kind of over the terminal delivery of code to the remote shell and then running it.
How would you solve this problem?
Easier or not, there have been literal witch burnings for centuries, mob “justice”, racism, superstition, willful abuse against minorities... inspired by “popular” trends for millennia.

But your digital pottery interface is much sexier, because not only is it temporally smoother in real time, but it also has much smoother shading, more polys, and gentler normals. (The dildo-generator looks kinda rough — I can practically feel the sharp edges of the polygons with my eyes.)

Imagine a true online collaborative system like Doug Engelbart envisioned (and implemented and demoed) where you and your lover can sculpt together!

The number of binaries of all languages in iOS (except C) increases year over year, so that doesn't really mean anything. It's more telling that the number of Swift binaries in proportion to the number of Objective-C binaries is increasing year over year.
Tesla just reported its first full-year profit last month, so that's no longer true.
I have a lot of flexibility over my time, unlike the OP, but I've found shifting my workouts to 3pm has been much better than 6am, which is when I used to do them. I tend to now start work at 6am, run out of steam around 1pm, have some downtime, gym from 3pm to 5pm, and then I'm either in good form to see some friends or do some side projects... I had always assumed early morning worked best for me, until I tried something else.

It would be more efficient to slide out the passenger compartment into the terminal for loading and unloading.
Or even as a a service fake data - feed fake location data and fake contact list. Full of 202-555-1234 type numbers. I always put fake data into web forms and it is a sign that I don’t truly own the phone that I can’t do the same for local software.

That used to be the case on usenet too - people would put attention-grabbing words in .signature as "NSA Food" - to overwhelm the NSA data capture algos. It seemed like a futile gesture even at the time, but particularly poignant looking back from a post-Snowden world.
