Copied from an HN user who said much better than I could: [1] [EDIT: I'm now questioning, is it appropriate to repost their words without their knowledge or consent?]

Human labor is not a commodity.

This was the common sense amongst all working people for most of the 20th century. Samuel Gompers, maybe the most conservative labor leader of his time, said "You cannot weigh the human soul on the same scales as piece of pork." And working people, along with the management class for the most part, understood this to be an undeniable truth. In fact, this piece of common sense was enshrined into US law with the Clayton Act of 1914, which stated "The labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce." But in the last 20 years, as capital has gained the firm upper hand, the common sense understanding has shifted towards the idea that labor is in fact a commodity.

The ideas behind the so-called "on-demand workforce" further solidify the notion that labor is a commodity. After all, you can order an uber ride just as easily as you can order vitamins online.

It's so pervasive that even I, someone born into a union family and a firm believer in the idea of worker solidarity, have to force myself to believe that labor is not a commodity. Why? The business class treated labor as expendable in 1915, just as they do in 2015. Why did working people understand this truth in 1915 but not today? I don't know.

I read a recently released sociology book earlier this year (going crazy looking for the title/author, can't find it), that posits millennials are far more likely than any recent generation to blame themselves for the problems they face. It's part of the reason that the self-help industry is bigger business than it's ever been. It's not always your fault. Our modern economy is built on rotten ideas like labor = commodity. If we want to do something about inequality, it's time that we subject fundamentally unjust ideas like these to a serious critique.

I kinda really hate how City wifi is being done. Every time you connect to the network you have to go through the damn login process on a web page because obviously TWC can't have any of those nasty Verizon customers logging on. I don't even bother with it anymore because all it does is block whatever it was I was looking at as soon as I step out of my house.

Oh hi there! I'll probably get banned/downvoted for saying this, but what's up with the lazy web design? Ever think people might want to use your site on mobile? And have it be readable/be able to click upvote buttons?
Read all of that tweet and you'll find out how irrelevant it is.

Cool. A few thoughts:

1. On the front page "Only you have the encryption key" could be confusing to folks new to PGP, consider instead "Only you have the decryption key". Then elaborate below - your encryption key/pubkey is uploaded to your service and made available to any users of your form, while your encryption/privkey remains secret.

2. What's your experience doing crypto in browser Javascript? I looked at that earlier this year but it was still pretty immature. Things like Mailvelope are a good start but not 100% reliable.
Note that Chandler's approach very specifically did not involve getting a task done. He was talking about writing novels over the course of months or years, not little things he was putting off.

Also it's a task where inspiration is involved, so if he forced himself to write every day no matter what, some of it would be worthless because the ideas weren't there. The point of his approach is to make habits that ensure you accomplish something in the long run, regardless of whether you get something done today or not.
tldr; Cool... but shouldn't google stop policing the internet and abusing, what some might call, monopoly powers for trivial gains.

======

I'd be willing to bet, this will one day be in an FTC/DOJ report about monopoly practices at Google...

Google seems to have forgotten they don't want to be looked at as a monopoly or abusing their power for the small things. While this is consumer friendly, at least at first glance, I still find it anti-competitive and generally worthless exertion of their near monopoly power.

It also effects them quite heavily (GMail being my prime example). If I had to guess, this is a decision by someone who is lacking the resources to fully grasp the decision and potential long term ramifications of their action. Maybe they do, but for a company of their size this seems petty.

The potential anti-trust lawsuit however will not be petty.

Slightly off-topic, but a couple of years ago I had an epiphany regarding Yelp's name. My conversation with a tech-savvy friend went something like this:

me: I realized that "Yelp" is like the "Yellow Pages".

friend: No duh.

me: No, the name "Yelp" is like "YELlo Pages". It's basically a portmanteau. [1]

friend: mind = blown

Yes, please! What really concerns me the most about conventional farming is the tendency to control, tame, and in result fight nature (with chemicals), rather than cooperate. This is of course a consequence of large monotonous fields with a single crop, which provides habitat for diseases and pests in very specific niches but leaves out the natural predators (such as ants in this example).

> given that Uber is a strong choice for many, to most, drivers

I've heard this from Uber and some anecdotes (part of Uber marketing, I suspect); is there data? Maybe the drivers feel they need to work for whoever controls the most customers, for example.

CIL to WebAssembly compiler
That's somewhat correct on its face--though, as krapp notes, a little disingenuous--but, more importantly, is wholly irrelevant to the growth of tech as an industry, which is what I pretty specifically pointed at rather than at "programming" (as if a trade skill was the point here in the first place).

But you knew all that. So why'd you post that?

Definitely my favourite tech writer. I occasionally head back to read some rants and have a bit of a laugh. Let's hope we see some more in the new year.
They use a similar trick in Hangouts where one cannot delete multiple conversations, only one at a time. Not sure what the motive for that is other than pissing people off which is mission accomplished. Regardless, UI like this that tricks people is no different than social engineering and should be therefore be treated as a UI design security risk.

What do you do with the previous tenants for those 6-12 months? By your last statement I assume it's just "figure your own shit out for the next year", which... well, that's really bad. Just the cost of moving (twice) could break some lower-income folks' backs. I wouldn't be surprised if few of those people return after phase 1 is complete.
I'm skeptical that the culprit is mainly to be found in specific features of the FAA, and the article doesn't seem to provide much causal evidence of that (though I recognize that it's hard to prove that kind of causality). Major upgrades/replacements/migrations either failing or coming in a decade late and billions over budget is the norm in Fortune 500 companies, too, which leads to a hypothesis that it's a more general problem with big rewrites of safety/business-critical systems in large organizations.
Google would break if it were transparent. I'm frustrated by the status quo; I run a site where users who found it through search contact me to say that it should've been higher in the search results. I think this would only get worse if it were transparent, though. Gaming Google would become predictable and mechanized. The outcome would be ugly.
I am a network engineer for TWC specifically running the business class fiber network. As far as I know and can tell with my own connection we do not block anything for our residential customers.

I always speak up internally for customers rights and privacy and I implore anyone else in charge of a network do do the same.
Or rather, too many problems with C/C++'s treatment of unsigned.
Overengineeing doesn't take nearly as much skill as you'd think. It would be pretty easy for any of us to design a wall that, if left alone, would last for thousands of years.
It's not really an oversimplification. It's a compressed principle from which a lot of implications come out of it.

You don't use the same part of the mind that exercises intellectual understanding in order to gain emotional intelligence. For some, it's like an underused-mental muscle. It grows stronger with practice.

"It's like asking an alcoholic to understand the emotions of why he drinks."

That's a great question to ask!
What is the interpretation of a p-value = 0 then? Empirical science can never reject any theory, it is not powerful enough. At best it can provide a selection of least worst explanations.

The H in P(X|H) does not mean 'assumed to be true', it means 'is in fact true'. If H is in fact false, it is counter-factual to assume it is true and therefore any conclusions drawn from the assumption are invalid. This is independent of belief in H.

>Necessary truths are the domain of pure logic, not empirical science.

Science can never deliver truth, which is why it can never truly reject anything (including null-hypotheses).

More generally, this is referred to as the problem of induction.
Some clueless investor pouring more money indirectly towards junior devs, to keep implementing pointyhairbrained schemes. At least, I hope it's that and not worse!
Ask HN: What's the most effective growth hack you used to promote your app?
The most plausible explanation is that their content filtering system is just badly written and obviously can't discern between spam and real-life input, despite all usage patterns, history, and content pointing to a human. Whatever the reason, who wants to create content for a site that will then just censor it?
The underlying issue is know yourself and learn to follow your inner needs and desires. Once we find our natural way, inner friction almost disappears. Here on HN I would say let's make use of our talents for a cause (a domain) we love.
May I ask, what specific technique/type of meditation have you been practicing?

Yep, there are different intelligences including emotional intelligence. It uses a different part of the mind. Emotions don't have logic or rationality, but they do have a observable, sometimes predictable dynamic.

The processing of emotions are simple: experience it when it arises, allow it to do it's thing, and allow it to pass. There isn't a need to comment on it, though it is possible to gain some interesting insights by observing them.
Websites should not be able to overwrite the clipboard unless the action is user-initiated, from the blog post: The execCommand("cut"/"copy") API is only available during a user-triggered callback, such as a click. If you try to call it at a different time, execCommand will return false, meaning that the command failed to execute.
Oh wow I've been looking EVERYWHERE for that. Thanks so much!

Also, a tip: an easier way to change the icon of any app/folder/anything:

1. Right click it -> Get Info.

2. Drag an app that has the icon you want onto the icon in top-left of the Info window. (e.g. drag the Terminal.app into the Info window and drop it on the icon: that script will now have the same icon as the Terminal.)

Often, the native app is just as bad or worse! At least the just-as-bad native app didn't soak up your time and bandwidth!
I hate that feeling of having to type as fast as possible, so the instant fetching won't waste bandwidth or distract me before I've finished giving it all the information it will need. Multi-step processes like getting directions can be annoying this way, as it reloads every time you change a parameter (like entering an address, swapping source and dest. addresses, or changing transportation mode), so if you have to do all three to get what you actually want you're really going to be waiting. Am I just a weird user? I mean, I know my frustration isn't very rational, but is user frustration ever rational? It hurts the product either way.

Sometimes I just do a general Google search (from Chrome's omnibar with Instant searching disabled) for the directions I need. It usually auto-detects it's a maps query and has a card ready to go with options. Then I don't have to wait for suggestions to load or for the map to pan around.
