The author brings up a good point. In mathematics, existence includes all possibilities and constructs that emanate from an axiomatic system. But in the universe as a whole, we have a time element - can we say the heat death of the universe is real and -exists- if it hasn't happened yet but is a forgone consequence of the universe's physical rules? Furthermore, if the origin of the universe is simply some simple rules that cause the notions of space and time and all the consequent physics - would we not abstract and say that the truest sense of the universe is then its simplest constituents - ie. the original mathematical rules that cast spacetime into existence? Math is all about generalizing and abstracting to more universally applicable truths. It is the science of pure truth. And I also believe that human instinct of seeking higher platitudes of knowledge is also based on abstracting ideas and truths in more generally applicable forms. Ultimately our concious experience is filtered by our Phaneron [1]. So it is hard to be concrete on an opinion about the universe when our own model of cognition is much more limited and thus a smaller universe of discoverable truth. That is where faith exists. I liken wisdom about full truth to be best described by buddhists, if the universe is all form, the origin of form, then it is impossible to see its form from the outside. [2] Recursion and self description is the origin of all antimonies. One cannot fully perceive the black box that one is an inhabitant of. The outside perspective, the true non shadowed clockwork, will always be a mystery.

Demand. Chinatown can do it because it's ethnic residents don't just want a great selection of produce, they demand it. They want it bad enough to fuel an entire alternative supply chain. If the people buying Chinatown's produce were replaced by less-discerning customers, the produce markets would disappear overnight and the farmers would have to unload their current crops at cut-rate prices.

Normal customers don't want it that badly. So supermarkets can't rely on being able to continually turn a profit on such a risky endeavor.

A service doesn't just have to be ten times better than the alternatives to drive mainstream adoption. It also has to be something people want bad enough to pay to create an entire industry around delivering it.

Is NTFS support good enough for writing? I haven't kept up. At one time you could read NTFS on Linux well enough, but writing was not supported (or was "experimental") I think mostly because the permissions attributes were quite different from the Unix approach? And also because it was reverse-engineered and not officially endorsed by MS?

Did Microsoft ever open-source the NTFS specs and drivers?

Definitely true. My roommate was a Chinese international and he thought everyone in my college was crazy to pay so much for X Chinese dish or Y food at a restaurant or market. I started to agree with him once I began to go to places that aren't Whole Foods.

Yeah, I even heard people in an online lynch mob say that. Alas:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching

> Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a minority group. It is an extreme form of informal group social control such as charivari, skimmington, riding the rail, and tarring and feathering, but with a drift toward the public spectacle.
I never used them, but my guess they try to make one time passwords from your passwords.

They probably ask to enter e.g. 3rd, 6th and 8th letter of the password. Supposedly if someone logs it it supposedly won't be as useful, because next time it will ask for different letters.

Not sure why won't they use rsa keys or similar technology. Also if it is the way I think it is, then you know that your passwords aren't hashed on their servers.

As an example of bad signage, the sign for the I405 north exit on I5 south in Washington always confuses me because the road curves across a hill, and at the distance where you should be changing lanes, the sign is aligned with the second lane from the left. It's not until you're passing under the sign that you can see the lane it's indicating, which is actually the far left lane.
This still doesn't explain why it is cheap -- it's cheap likely because there are not too many steps between the consumer and the producer? And not too much money spent on infrastructure...

I think GP is referring to the practice of asking you to type some amount of random characters from your password. It seems to be popular with banks nowadays. The field looks like this:

[ ][X][X][ ][X][X][ ][X][ ][X][X][ ][ ][X][ ]

(you enter characters in the blanks)

The idea is supposedly to protect people from keyloggers. But the side effect is that more sophisticated passwords get excruciatingly annoying to type in.

You beat me to it. I agree.

I think this article is actually more interesting because it shows you something about how a good tech PR strategy works. Bloomberg undoubtedly saw, on-site, how ridiculous the robotics narrative was, but they went with it anyways, because it makes for a more viral story. This kind of PR is a collaborative effort and win-win.

If you have a tech startup you should really think about the narrative before you call in press. Think about what the audience wants from a story, and sell that. The goal of PR is to get your company noticed ... so long as you don't turn off genuine customers, you can actually go pretty far away from reality before the average user picks up on the fact that the story is mostly bullshit.

I think they should have kept the CEO out of this video. He comes across as a bit too much of a shuckster. A CTO type would have been a better type. Also, instead of positioning the business as increased profit, he should have presented the reduction in labor costs as savings for the customer. That always makes a better story. The CEO's brain probably doesn't work that way, but the PR firm he hired should have given him that tip.
There are lots of them. The biggies:

Mobility (i.e., not being tied down to the property).

Either a) not tying up a lot of money on housing (assuming outright purchase or large down payment) or b) cheaper monthly payment than a mortgage (small down payment).

Outsourced maintenance (although there are good and bad landlords in this regard).

If there weren't advantages, renting wouldn't be as common as it is.

Charles saved my life last year. I had just been promoted to systems administrator, but given no access to any systems. Like, no access to the IIS server, and no access to the SQL Server instance!

That didn't stop them from expecting me to diagnose what was wrong with their custom app. When I noticed that I also could submit test data to a test store in the app on my iPhone (it was an exclusively mobile only app) I ran the app through Charles and discovered that the app was spitting back a SQL Server error - that the disk was full.

48 hours later and the so called database gurus in South Africa had fixed the issue. I would be prevented Dom gaining access to these critical systems throughout my time at that company.
FidoNet was and is an interesting system, but it relies on a system which is a public utility and/or publicly subsidized in most of the world: the telephone network. Dial-up networks like FidoNet only work if there's enough phone service to bother with.

Recently my girlfriend discovered the depth of the program FB started to listen to the microphone, even if the app isn't on. She never installed the FB app on her new phone. Multiple times in the last month, some VERY specific topic of conversation IRL has shown up as an ad in her FB stream. Most recently, a coworker told her about a "Custom Martin" guitar he had just bought. Later that day there was an ad for a custom Martin guitar. She's never searched for that, liked anything related, there's absolutely no other reasonable explanation, and facebook has made it clear they were going to start listening. They were serious. We later discovered that new Samsung phones have FB installed as a "system app" that can't be uninstalled, and that app has permission to turn on the microphone whenever, without permission. Her phone listens to everything she says all day. Anyone with the FB app (whether they choose to install it or not in the case of Samsungs) is being listened to at all times. To me, this is worse than every single thing on RMS's list. It's kinda terrifying.
Supermarkets have to operate at scale, and their inventory has to be a relative mirror image across all locations, as well as match prices they plan and advertise in advance. To enable that standardization, there's a lot of central planning, and I imagine also a lot of centralized logistics.

These farmer market-style operations are much more fluid and flexible.
> Also if it is the way I think it is, then you know that your passwords aren't hashed on their servers.

Only if the developers are extremely lazy. A proper implementation would precompute a series of hashes for different subsets of the password and store them in the database instead. Similar to how Facebook stores both the password and its reversed-case form as a convenience feature for people who forget to turn their CAPS LOCK off.
Or mctl?
Considering things like gold-plated speaker cables and crystal sound purifiers, audio is also a very expensive game to play stupidly ;-)

This is the immediate alarm that went off in my head reading about this. I've never seen this before either and it sounds like an idea from someone who means well but doesn't understand what they are doing.
Atheists are atheists. If you're going to make a distinction, make it between individuals, not groups.
TL;DR: It's all about that bass roll-off.

Studio construction, baffling, and noise exclusion also matter.

What I didn't see addressed were some other factors I've noticed and/or been aware of over the years.

NPR's announcers, reporters, and hosts tend to speak conversationally. Rather than shooting for fill-the-room, highly-inflected (a/k/a Commercial Broadcast) voice, it's the tone you'd expect to hear from someone having a conversation with you in a room (though perhaps a larger room, and with less mumbling). That's a huge difference for me, and unfortunatly I'm hearing far more commercial broadcast inflection from the recent crop of announcers, to the point it's quite annoying. Steve Inskeep most particularly.

("Recent", for this old fart, means the past decade or so.)

The other element, and it's one I'm raging against, is that NPR has increasingly moved to live and unedited audio, to its tremendous loss.

When the network was small and it couldn't field reporters in many locations, sound often arrived after hours, or days, at headquarters where it was edited for broadcast. Even the flagship news programs were largely (and in cases entirely) pre-produced, with all news segments, interviews, etc., edited before they went on the air.

Yes, it meant that what you got from NPR was often slightly stale relative to other news outlets, for the latest breaking news (though hourly headlines broadcasts were generally current). But the result was polished and digested. In terms of a program which informed rather than merely screamed, it was, I'd argue, a better product.

NPR has been falling victim to currency bias since the late 1990s and I really don't care for it.
One point from the article I found most interesting:

> Pages that contain Facebook "like" buttons enable Facebook to track visitors to those pages. Facebook tracks Internet users that see "like" buttons, even users who never visited facebook.com and never click on those buttons.

> The ACLU has a way of enabling users to click a Facebook "like" button, which avoids this problem. Its pages have a link called "like us on Facebook" that leads to a Facebook page where it is possible to push a "like" button for the ACLU. But if you don't follow that link, Facebook gets no information about your visit to the ACLU page.

I'd love to learn more about these sorts of strategies for subverting the Facebook omniscience.
Because it's not really periodic enough. I don't think any natural sound source short of a musical instrument (and even for them, it's doubtful) is so perfectly periodic that an out of phase version would stay in opposition (i.e. in the inverted/opposite phase of the cycle) for long enough for this to be of any use. But there are (FFT-based?) noise removal tools that can work for this sort of thing.

edit: also, the weird phasing artefacts this would introduce would be much more prominent and noticeable, even if it succeeded in reducing the overall volume. So much so that doing basically this ('flanging') is a standard musical effect for making parts sound psychedelic.
Btw it was Alan Kay who pointed out the analogy between Kahneman and the reflexive/reflective distinction I've been using to try to understand the dynamics of HN. That was a helpful observation on Alan's part that among other things spurred me to take Kahneman back off the shelf.
If someone can't state their point without warping the very language they use to support their point, it makes it very hard to feel like anything they're saying is credible.

Example 1: someone is trying to convince me to vote Republican. They go through the Republican platform issue by issue, and compare/contrast it to the Democrats' stand. However, every time they use the word "Democrat" they instead say "Democrap" or "Dumbocrat" or "Dumbocrap". That does not make me think they are clever wordsmiths; rather, that makes me think that they think I'm an idiot and that they think they can actually manipulate me with such silliness. It also makes me think they arrived at their own philosophy not by trying to understand opposing views, but by inventing their own strawmen for whatever tribe they imagine they are opposed to. It makes me think they are driven by tribalism rather than ideas.

Example 2: well, here, RMS' insistence on using the word "useds" rather than "users" when referring to people who are on Facebook. Yeah, I get it. Ha ha ha. It doesn't make me think you're clever, it makes me think you literally do not possess the capacity to reason about anything without invoking strawmen. It calls into question every single observation you are making. It makes it sound like you don't respect the people you are supposedly trying to convince, and are instead just enjoying preaching to your choir.

It's not like an isolated incident, it is literally his primary rhetorical device in nearly everything he's written over the last 3 decades. Even the appropriation of generic terms like "free" to mean very, very, very specific and non-intuitive things reeks of intellectual dishonesty. It's so frustrating because he does have some (some) very insightful and constructive ideas about a lot of things, and could be such a positive contributor to the world, but it's like he wants to alienate his non-choir audience right out of the gate. It's like he's terrified of actually engaging with people that are not already 100% (not 99.9%, he demands 100%) on his side. He is right about some (some) things, but so many, many people will never know it because he wants to shoot himself in the foot as soon as possible.
