ad 1) awesome

ad 2) the job of managers is to say "no", not always but when necessary, a manager that does not say "no" is a bad manager, same as a manager that does not say "yes".

ad 3) consensus is one way to reach a decision. if enough people are involved its worse than throwing a dice. (if you ask enough people to find consensus about a color you always end up with grey, if you ask enough designers about UX, you end up with material design.

ad 4) focusing on one metric for too long will always be toxic. once a product is big / major or marketleader growth is no longer meaningful, but retention or fluffy metrics like user happiness. basing promotion on one metric alone must be seen as toxic (see shareholder value @ yahoo)

five) it's great that google has an open enough culture that public comments like yours are possible
All collision-resistant secure cryptographic hash functions (whew) should have this property (BLAKE2, SHA-3, Skein, etc.) (Note: those vulnerable to length extension — e.g. SHA-1, SHA-2 — should be used in HMAC construction for keying.)

BLAKE2 is fast for many use cases, but its block size is 64 (for BLAKE2s) and 128 (for BLAKEb) bytes, so hashing anything shorter than the block size will take the same time as hashing the full block. SipHash was designed for fast hashing of short inputs (its block size is 8 bytes), which is why it's good for hash tables and similar uses.

As for performance in different languages: SipHash is pretty fast in any language that has native 64-bit integers, but is not so fast in those which don't (JavaScript). The same applies to BLAKE2b (but not BLAKE2s).

BLAKE2 is slower in Java than MD5 probably because it doesn't use SIMD instructions there, which give a good boost for it (as designed).

Preventing CopyCat Suicides: An Opinion from the Trenches
Your appeal to economic realism is just a different way of saying that tracking is advantageous for Microsoft, which I don't think anybody disputed.

Which brings me to your second point, that customers are fine with it. The underlying assumption is that consumers are Homo Economicus: rational agents making intelligent, informed decisions. This is not the case, as evidenced by the overwhelming difference between opt-in, opt-out, and must-choose behavior. Customers don't care about tracking, as you say, but not because they've thought about the issue and concluded the trade-off is in their benefit -- in reality they've never thought about the issue at all. Regular people are indifferent to iPhone privacy until they're asked if they ever have conversions or ever take photos they don't want to become public. And then it all clicks, and then they do care about their privacy. People don't care, until they do.

When you call telemetry "benign" you're begging the question: the definition of benign implies you can't reasonably be opposed to it. So that's fallacious.

I never said what Microsoft did was a PR stunt. My claim is that Microsoft isn't genuinely committed to the privacy of their customers, because these privacy measures are (a) insufficient (b) an afterthought (c) opt-out only. I see this as an effort to appease disgruntled customers, not as PR stunt. And as somebody else pointed out already, it still isn't possible to opt-out entirely.

A bit of a digression, but possibly a useful one for anybody wondering if amphetamines or other drugs might be an easy panacea for depression. The answer may well be "yes, and then very much no."

I had my first (and so far only) ecstasy pill a year or so ago, and it was wonderful - lit my brain on fire, caused me to experience the best music festival I've ever been to, and gave me the kind of intense connection with my friends I'd been missing from years of crippling depression. The following week was hell, and caused slight but permanent damage to my family relationships. It took a couple more weeks to recover to even my low standard of 'normal'.

It was only later that I learned that ecstasy, amphetamines, LSD, and basically anything that acts on the seratonin system can cause severe depression lasting a week or more - and if you've already got depression, that can get really bad.

It's worth being careful with these things.

On the other hand - a similar experiment a couple of months later with a small dose of synthetic psilocybin yielded a week of the best mood I've been in for years, with no obvious side effects.

I'd love to see more research on these things. I'm probably not going to do much more research on it using my own brain ;)

The changes the interviewee described happened in part because the conservative movement has been pushing for them for many decades.

From the beginning, modern conservatives have seen the university as a cesspool of atheist marxism. Indeed, one of the founding books of the modern conservative movement was <i>God and Man at Yale</i> by William F. Buckley. So conservatives, especially at the state level, have worked to change the mission of the university from free inquiry to profit-making and supporting corporations, and they have largely succeeded.

That sounds like an awesome idea (given that display is totally separated from the format-on-save anyways).

I got a quick feel for it with this in a terminal:

watch -n 0.1 'prettier --print-width $COLUMNS index.js'

... and unfortunately didn't really like it. Maybe in a pinch, but it still ends up feeling really cramped trying to read column in low-width terminals. At the other extreme (having the terminal be the only window on a 21:9 ultrawide), some of the lines get so long that you'd want a max anyways.

Moxie Marlinspike – SSL and the Future of Authenticity (2012, Defcon 19)
On a general level I agree, the less quantitative-based is the job, the more chances there are that it won't be done by machines.

However let's not forget that we have (and we have had for some time now) algorithmic composition[1] and more recently we have seen style transfer through neural networks[2] and if artificial intelligence is able to produce visual art and music, that makes me think that there are very few human activities that may not be automated.

What will "save" some human activities is either technological shortcomings, which are probably temporary (e.g. the hand made cigars in your humidor: the difficulty is that machines are currently not very good at rolling cigars with a whole leaf filler, but I think eventually we will get there) or consumer's preference, which is arbitrary (e.g. you may think "OK so now, in 2025, machines are able to roll as well as the best Cuban rollers, but I choose to buy only human made cigars, just because I can").

> Once there are robot cars there is no longer a limit to how many cars can be on the road

But there are resource costs.

Also your reductio ad absurdum doesn't make sense. No one is saying there should only be one car that everyone shares. However it's reasonable to say the optimal number of cars (where I might define optimal as "One is always available to you in a short amount of time") is somewhere less than the number of people.
Second that. I get the different opinions, but why is it funny (the downvoting implies that it was funny).

I can for 100% assure that I only nitpick because I want to understand the logical reasoning for down-voting and are scared that I am too high to understand the meaning of the phrase "It's funny you mention that". I am not a native speaker, but I know all the words, heard it in English and there exists a translation into my language and the interpretation is the same for both, so long story short ... why is it funny?

There is no (working!) https version of the domain. I own/maintain neverssl.com and I'll be doing my best to make sure that it can never poison the intended experience. I use it myself.

Basically, it's designed to be easy to remember, and over time I'll deploy whatever "Nope, really use HTTP" workarounds are available as TLS-by-default, and maybe even DANE, gain traction.

The difference between neverssl.com and others is just that "guarantee" and the slightly tongue-in-cheek text that tries to make it clear to users what's going on.

Actually right now I'm on a plane, between Newark and Seattle, and just typed it in to log in ... only to see it featured on HackerNews. Mind Blown. I'm coming back from 7 days spent with other implementors of TLS, and it's something I stay up to date on. That's it.

It's pretty weird that example.com does not use https:// , I expect it will in the near-future. Part of its job is to set a good ... example.

I'm not sure that was always the case, but for the sake of argument: what's the significant difference?
The accuracy of this struck a chord; when I was at my lowest point during depression one of the worst symptoms was that I no longer enjoyed what I thought I liked (making things, in my case particularly with tech).

What helped me slowly find my way out of that place was forcing myself to do those things regardless of whether I was perceiving enjoyment anymore + taking on a new hobby (coincidentally music). It took a lot of time but the things that made me enjoy it in the first place started to become more clear and I got over that slump, with a new interest to show for it.

The depression certainly hasn't disappeared completely but the fear of losing passion for certain things is more manageable given that I've gotten it back before. Not to minimize the negative impact of depression but the understanding of that fear has often pushed me harder towards progress than I would have pushed myself under normal circumstances.

Might not be the standard experience but this post still this resonated with me.

The statement is false in the sense that the designers actually realized that the problem space is vast, and impossible to target all of it with dedicated tool sets. So they provided not a tool set but a tool making factory. And not even the final tool-making factory: rather one which teaches something more important: a very good general pattern for designing tool-making factories.
> I hate it when part of our cultural heritage is shamelessly used in ads.

I feel ads nowadays are worse than "cultural heritage is ... used in ads". They don't even have much cultural heritage at all.

This ad shows a genuine culture mark of answering a phone, and link it with the genuine leap-forward of that experience. That is ingeniously done and leave a wonderful impression.

Actually, I am not an American. I made my first phone call at age 12 or so. But it's easy to feel the genuine anticipation feeling in answering a phone. The moment to connect with someone possibly in a 1000 miles away. It no longer feels that exciting nowadays, sadly.

This ad reminds me the kiss scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjtJkBUVFVY

"I like the idea of using expiring domain names to generate business ideas (especially domain names that are fetching a good price)."

Personally, I think buying domains that seem good, and then brainstorming ideas for them is risky. You're more likely to end up with a questionable foundation ("Maybe it could be a site about dogs with funny socks?") or something outside your area of interest/expertise. IME, it's better to set your idea and then find the domain.

By all means, speculate on domains and collect a few strong ones (I do), but I'd be wary of picking ideas based on the domains you can grab.

You used to be able to make easy money from SEO-oriented sites based on keyphrases, but that's dried up a lot and content/concept is king again.

It's good advice in general though. Having plants that depend on you to do something - even if that something is so simple as watering them - can mean the different between doing nothing on a day and doing one useful thing. And perhaps that one useful thing is enough to not have to write that day off as useless.
