>"No negative reinforcement" is what gives us kids that run screaming around in restaurants and stores. Sorry, I disagree with an absolute ban.

The whole point of the article is that those children lack positive reinforcement, and that if the parents were paying attention to the children when the children were good the children wouldn't end up screaming in a restaurant.
Did you even read his comment. He was talking about facebook already manipulating content to only give content people want without opposing viewpoints thus creating small bubbles around us. When it's their own algorithms causing the problem then it is their job to fix it.

My personal view is that low regulation advertising is simply not compatible with Western Democracy. If you don't regulate away emotive and brand advertising you're corrupting all the systems that are supposed to regulate our societies (for brevity "advertising" refers to brand and emotive advertising in the below).

The basic idea of how information flows & control works in western market driven democratic republics:

People -> Government -> Markets <- People

The People Elect their Government.
The Government controls the rules of "The Market".
The People decide what they want in their day to day lives, demand it from actors in "The Market". Those who fulfill these needs are rewarded and copied. Information moves from consumers to market actors rapidly, this information is hard to fake.

This is very much how markets that don't have much advertising work, take rice, wheat, logistics. Success demands you provide a better product at lower cost. People can easily compare products so you _must_ compete on price, the companies get very efficient they make stuff people want cheaply.

What does advertising do to the above system? Firstly your market starts rewarding the best liars and cheats. Make cheap crappy sewing machines whilst buying out previously good sewing machine brands and running their name into the dirt? FANTASTIC! HUGE REWARD! DO MORE OF THIS. Make soft drinks of dubious health value but persuade people that their consumption is necessary to their social lives? FANTASTIC! HUGE REWARD!

If this wasn't bad enough the advertisers are able to give away entertainment and news content for free. Most people do not want to pay for things and aren't aware how subtle and pervasive the lies are. So most people lap this free information up, so now the advertisers hold the purse strings on every media channel out there. The advertisers control the people, the advertisers control the market.

Adverts -> Government -> Market <- Adverts.

The final negative impact is the huge swaths of people who are working incredibly hard at a net loss for society at large. People who aren't working making things other people want. People who are working at making other people want things they otherwise wouldn't. Wonder why we aren't working 15 hour weeks as predicted by Keynes? Blame all the people making adverts and everyone who's making content funded by those adverts.

Fake news & Facebook are the latest and worst examples of this corruption. But really it's just a symptom of the underlying disease. After we've perfected mechanization and economies of scale large profits require you fool people into making bad decisions. Doing this is lucrative and since our markets are evolutionary optimizing machines we are going to see it get worse unless we take action to stop it.

Actually there are standards for electrical devices too, so it doesn't accidentally burn your house down. IoT needs robust security and update mechanisms.

I just fear that some IoT device also has to burn a house down until something happens. Right now it's just webcams, soon it's ovens which can be exploited easily. This needs to be pushed right now, the stuff is already on the market.

> Click the Like button on a Page that challenges your beliefs, interact with that information and you'll see more of it.

That's precisely the problem with it. I'd like to read more on extremists groups and see how and why they exists, what kind of people they are, why do they think the way they do, what their fight is in our society. This is the first step to build a dialog.

However, "liking" their pages is out of question. I will not support them, I will not help them further their propaganda, their hateful rhetoric. I would like to understand them, but in no way do I want to support them.

In that sense, Facebook actively discourage dialog and openness to other ideas, because the only way to receive these ideas is also to make them more relevant than they ought to be.

There should be a way for us to navigate different bubbles, to inhabit different, neutral profiles to explore other niches of population, other ways of life within our own society. In that regard, Facebook is useless because it is not interesting for their business.

Reddit can work, but Reddit also has unpenetrable walls sometimes. However, it is already much better than Facebook or Google.

The article bashes together two different topics related to devices on the internet in a way that doesn't really help. All the articles I have seen so far have done this.

The first is about devices connected to the net used to cause problems on the net such as DOS. Devices have a tiny attack surface as they are usually protected by a password for access. The fix there is easy, just stop shipping devices with default passwords.

The second is about attacks against devices that could create a "Risk to Life and Property". The fix there is harder in that it involves knowledge of whatever process is being controlled. Ideally systems would be safe in the face of any software failure, no matter what the cause.

I've got about 11-12 8-bit machines in the loft. My rule is keep the best condition machine of each model and sell anything else.

I suspect the overall task of dealing with them all is just too much. So, what about picking one model type and getting all of those out? Then see what you have working and keep the best 1/2 working models. (just research how well the PSUs survive not being turned on for many years before you switch them on, e.g. http://www.retro-kit.co.uk/page.cfm/content/BBC-Micro-PSU-X2...)

Then sell the rest aside from the best. Next, pick another model and repeat. If you divide the task down into manageable sections, that should make it easier to get started. And write a blog somewhere, I want to see what you have :).
> bullshit your way into thinking that somehow you are changing the world.

Yet in the paragraphs before that you are speaking about how facebook _is_ changing the world.

Apart from that minor (mistake?) thing, I do agree with you fully. Using facebook is a good way to surround yourself with people who think and do exactly as you do, which is not beneficial.

Same goes for other types of social media, but you can break it easier with for example twitter. You can follow people with different ideas than yourself and be challenged by their view, which is a healthy thing to do. I feel like the treshold to that is lower on twitter than on facebook. But then again, I am not a facebook user myself since a couple of years ago, and that experience might have changed.

Though on the flipside, it can also be used for good. Not because you are into some kind of weird belief that will be reinforced by others, but for example imagine that you want to learn esperanto, there might be facebook groups full of people doing the same and it might help you learn it with greater ease.
I second it. I too used either keyboard macros or query-replace- commands before. Multiple cursors is just nicer for these particular things.
Apache Ivy – any future or is it also going to be retired?
I'm 45 and have a similar addiction. I decided to limit myself to just one system; a C64 decked out with old and modern accessories. I do have C64-SX and Apple II, but that was before I limited myself.

Hell, I passed up (on Craigslist) a PET with dual floppies. Also an eBay within driving distance an Imsai 8080 with dual 8" floppies and Heath H19 terminal, loaded with S100 cards.

It's really more about the room than the money. Most of these things are cheap, but I don't want to turn into a hoarder. I did that years ago (pre marriage) with old UNIX workstations; Sun, HP, SGI. I got rid of them all.

Also helps to know that there are millions of some of these systems out there. How many C64 were made, 20 million? It's not like I have something rare and unique; most would consider it junk.

Also, CRT cost $20 each to recycle now. It's easy for this to become a money pit. My father in law had 10 old monitors in his basement he got for "free". Well it wasn't free to get rid of them.
Furthermore, the article goes on and and on, but never does it mention the little fact that Larry, Sergey and Mark are all themselves Jewish, AFAIK. I was expecting to see it mentioned at least once to highlight the inherent conundrum. It's possible that I might have missed it because, well, the article never seems to end.

> But some enterprise IT jobs can be soul crushing.

Mmm, yeah. Good work-life balance that provides for some sense of distance is critical with such positions. Something that helps you see beyond the job.

If the job makes that difficult or impossible and it's not because you're in the middle of a sprint or some other temporary situation, burnout is a matter of when, not if. If you can't find a way to to mix things up and get a change of scenery within your current environment (eg, working on a different project, working as design lead on some totally unrelated team, etc), it might be a very very good idea to start mentally preparing yourself to redo your CV, I think.

> How do you non-financially weigh the benefit of pursuing a lifetime of rewarding work at say, one half the salary you could otherwise earn?

Obvious answers are quality of life, general mood and health, etc.

Money is after all a tool, not an end in and of itself. Sure, money will get you lots of "friends" and social status, but that's only because you look shiny and might drop breadcrumbs. I'm not aware of any other reasons money is useful; indeed, the more you have the more vulnerable you are, beyond certain thresholds.

Well it's still a mesh in the sense that the wireless APs are connected to each other wirelessly.

You can have a mesh network without wireless clients at all if you wanted. For example, you can connect two locations together via a mesh of access points by each end plugging into the ethernet port of an AP, then the mesh provides multi-task redundancy.

It's better to have a great collection of one brand / type than to have a lot of scattered stuff. Remember: anything you need to maintain is a burden. Cars, houses, pinball machines, old computers.
One of the most common challenges that I see engineers face is to effectively empathize with the user. When you know a lot about something, you just see it in a fundamentally different way. This makes it difficult to focus on making it easy for the user to do what they want, not what you think they should want.

When I drive my car, I just want to get from point A to point B while listening to a podcast. I don't care to know how they work. This doesn't make me enfeebled or ignorant, I would just rather commit my learning cycles elsewhere.

Computers need to be the same. Why would we be so foolish as to think that it's a wrongdoing that people are able to effectively use computers without having any clue about how they function?

Literacy isn't about forcing people to learn things, it's about ensuring that everyone has the baseline exposure to help them discover if they have an interest in a topic, and then the resources to explore that topic if they choose.
I said that if we are making legislative changes anyway (i.e. adding in anti-foreign buyer laws), why not just fix the underlying problem, sans-xenophobia, by adding or increasing property taxes?

If people aren't paying a sufficient amount in taxes now, I suggest adding land value taxes.

I'm convinced this is the key.

However, media outlets (social or otherwise) also have a responsibility of, at the very least, not spreading stories that are demonstrably, factually inaccurate, even if it impacts their "bottom line". Naive and hopeful, I know, but there are two sides to it.

That's what you get by importing qualified and being too verbose.

This same can be written as:

type Chan = Map Int ByteString

People do prefer importing Map and ByteString qualified, so their functions will have a prefix of their choice. But very few people import ByteString as "ByteString", most use something shorter.
Respect the responsibility but don't fear the outcome. These things don't happen overnight. No matter your kid's temperament or how you do as parents, it all develops one day at a time over a very long time and you have essentially infinite opportunities to learn and adjust.

Neat how a term as 'IoT' can get all previous, historical security discussions and articles repeated as if its a new finding or a new risk we should think of. I am _almost tempted_ to call all these articles clickbait.

Secure everything, not only your puters your car, chainsaw, and internet connected nas, don't use same logins at for all your internet accounts, and YES also secure your tiny computers that are connected to the internet.
From the article:

"Two minutes of exposure and your cells will soon begin to hemorrhage;"

It is sad to see this level of sensationalism in first 3 lines of the article.

Not only cells CAN'T hemorrhage by definition (hemorrhage is blood escaping from the circulatory system, cells don't have blood inside them), but that claim is completely made up, not present in the NRC article linked. Any decent level of fact-checking would have caught that.

Making up fake definitions for precise medical terms for the sake of impact is really bad journalism.

And then it's followed by:

"During a routine test on April 26, 1986, reactor Number 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced a power surge that triggered an emergency shutdown."

"If it hits ground water, it could trigger another catastrophic explosion or leach radioactive material into the water nearby residents drink."

Which is contradicted by the article itself:

"Oozing through pipes and eating through concrete, the radioactive lava flow from reactor Number 4 eventually cooled enough to solidfy[sic]."
> If you think Esc then I is the future of programming tools, I don't know what to tell you.

Of course text editing isn't the future of programming, but when I can create and run macros as fast as I can think through a formatting change, an IDEs regex find/replace and refactoring menu with a dozen options irrelevant to the task at hand feels clunky and limited.

This device is not catering to the past, sure, but its also not catering to a large group of users the previous device did. It also seemed to have caught a lot of them off guard.

Why didn't they make the touch bar an option rather than force it on all users? they could easily have added it above the previous keyboard configuration.

Some people like their music without DRM and vendor lock-in. We rip it from Audio-CDs or buy mp3 albums when available. Sometimes we even resort to piracy (SoulSeek, torrent, one-click hoster+piracy blogs).

That's interesting, because in Eastern Europe, the Left can, and sometimes really is, perceived as regressive.
Just an example: during the immigration crisis the leading newspaper in Poland run a series articles on how you can lose your job if you make critical comments about immigrants. This was really reminiscent of the socialist regime not so long ago, where people were rarely killed, but you could easily lose your job (and have real trouble finding another one!) because of just one critical remark. So if you really care about your family, you keep your opinions to yourself. It always amuses me when the media is surprised with the results of the elections then.
