My response to that is to simply close that tab or hit the back button. If I really care about the content a quick search usually finds it somewhere else.

Until very recently I didn't block ads, but after increasing occurrences of "reputable" sites (imgur, I'm looking at you) hosting adverts they auto-play video, try back-door installs, or just chew a significant chunk of CPU when I'm running on battery (not mining coins: just very very poorly written dom animations) I gave in and put pihole on my home network.
I am personally fine with a monthly fee for desktop software. If I'm paying for software, it's up to the person who sells the software to decide how I should pay, and for me to decide if it's worth it.

> Then... Well, then came the smartphone. I don't even regularly use my smartphone. I probably should. Maybe it will help me understand the next generation's viewpoints?

It didn't help me. Anyway, if you'll get a smartphone, you'll learn that:

- it generally solves most of your needs for unsophisticated communication with people

- it sucks when you try to do anything creative with it

- it has abysmal interoperability between applications - and beyond that, it goes out of its way to hide the filesystem from you, and even the clipboard barely works

Both of that is because it's bound by the features of lowest-common-denominator applications written by competing vendors.

> I don't know... We did pretty well for a while. People were even educating themselves. They created new and wonderful things.

Of course they did. Because if you tell people that a) they can make things they want to make with a computer, but b) they have to spend a little time learning and figuring it out (and c), here are some resources to get you started), people will figure it out. Some of the complexity just is essential, you can't remove it without losing the capabilities of the tool.

> I think I'll try formalizing this stuff into an essay and linking to it in a few days. Right now, it's rambling.

> Man, I so hate the idea of having to write software. I really hate programming. I'll have to come up with a more practical example than VLC.

Please do write it down and share it. And don't worry about writing software (unless you just want to have your dream tools made ASAP) - just provide a clean and detailed description of what you seek. There's plenty of people here who like writing code, and will happily experiment with new paths.

Oh, and VLC is a fine example. It's a popular and powerful piece of software.
The app store has a few benefits. The biggest one, for paid software is that if I format my computer or move to a new computer my license come over with my Apple account. I don't need to worry about remembering an account and license keys for each each.

I can't count how many apps I've paid for but I don't have installed right now because I lost a hard drive and my license keys with it.

Though I'm guessing with monthly billing it is more a username / password thing for you vs a key. (I haven't tried it yet, sorry).

The second benefit is not having to give my billing info to yet another company.

I'm not unlikely to install an app not from the app store. But I'd say I'm... complete guess here... 30% more likely to install it if it is in the app store.

And I can also say that if I have the choice between the two (same software on the app store and off), I will always do the one in the app store because of the previously listed benefits.
Sounds really cool and similar to what Fly.io is doing.

XSS prevention, maintainability, code reuse, good variable names, good-smelling code, readability, and using popular libraries are not "over-engineering". They are 95% of what makes someone a good employee instead of a shitty one.

With modern languages and tooling, you can have the benefits of most of these things at little-to-no additional cost. If any of these require something complicated and "over-engineered", I'd instead describe it as "bad engineering".
This is just poor reasoning. There would be more dishonest merchants if the possibility of chargebacks ceased to exist. Your reasoning is like saying look how safe this town is, guess we don’t need police anymore.

And to say that virtually no merchant acceptance[1] is an “irrelevant argument” is laughable. Merchants have little incentive to spend money and effort to add support for an obscure payment method that virtually no one uses and likely never will, due to its reduction in consumer benefits. Apple Pay piggybacked the rollout of contactless terminals which gave it support at millions of locations out of the gate, and fully supports standard consumer protections and reward programs.

Finally, “person-to-person payments” is completely irrelevant to person-to-business transactions. But even in that corner Apple Pay will very soon be superior to any other method for “paying back lunch money to a coworker”. They are rolling out P2P this fall which supports all debit cards, is free, instantaneous, and you can spend the money right away at any Apple Pay merchant or send it to your bank account.

That cuts your argument down to just avoiding transaction limits and authorization at merchants you trust. Extremely narrow use case, so no way there’s going to be enough consumer interest to drive merchant adoption.

Couchdb on Rasperry Pi
I don't think this is an accurate characterization of the article. It is technically accurate that the male in this article did strike me as lazy in his reluctance to call around when hiring a cleaning service. But I think it's an unfair leap to (1) categorize him as "weak, child-like" and (2) dismiss the article as a whole based on this categorization.

The main theme of the article, that managing the household requires a significant amount of work and that this work often goes not only unappreciated but that this lack of appreciation is both acceptable and expected strikes me as much more important. In particular, her husband was aware of the hassle involved in properly hiring a cleaning service and that's why he chose to avoid it. On some level we are all aware of the work that needs to be done but it is easy to forget that it happens.

Towards the end of the article, there are examples that I found interesting: when she brushes the daughter's hair, it's no big deal but when her husband does it he expects praise. When the son tidies his room, he expects acknowledgement but the daughter performs the same task as a matter of course.

In my own household, my partner and I strive for an even split in these duties. I have made numerous, painfully long calls to our insurance company to sort out bills and I did call around for quotes when we put up a fence around a portion of our yard. Still, it was painful for me to admit, I could see some of myself in the author's partner. In particular:

> My husband, despite his good nature and admirable intentions, still responds to criticism in a very patriarchal way.

And when the author talks about trying to explain this work and their feeling that it is unacknowledged.

> ...he would take it as me saying, “Look at everything I’m doing that you’re not. You’re a bad person for ignoring me and not pulling your weight.”

I often find myself getting defensive, often without a clear idea of why I am feeling attacked or unappreciated. I think, often, it boils down to feeling like I'm being accused of something.

Lastly, the idea that this reaction was something I may have learned and internalized at an early age is also interesting and worth thinking about. I do think there's a tendency to think that gender roles are a thing of the past, and many ways these roles express themselves is subtle.

You got me here. I wanted to quote something off GP's comment that it obscured what I really wanted to say - that is, using some advanced feature without learning. Learning through reading about it, or learning through experimenting with it. Both are valid ways, but you just can not make a powerful tool that does not require learning.
That's great! One thing I've always wanted to build is an open source project to manage wifi on Raspberry Pis, with a similar user experience to Chromecast. It would be really useful as a base for hobby projects, as well as real products.

The idea is that if wifi is not configured or can't connect, then the Raspberry Pi would switch to AP mode. When you connect to the SSID, you would see a web page where you can configure your home wifi SSID and password, or choose a network from a list.

Does something like this already exist? I think it could be used in a lot of different projects, including RasPlex [1] and RetroPie [2]. I haven't looked at those projects for a while though, so maybe they already have that feature.

Compromise does indeed go both ways. I'm not seeing that here though. At no point does the woman say "well, I guess we just don't do that thing in our house." (Obviously when children come into the equation, the man's not knowing the pediatrician's phone number is true learned helplessness and laziness, rather than a difference in standards, because presumably both parties enjoy having a healthy child).

I agree that the role of woman-as-manager is encouraged by societal expectations, but when it's this distressing, she needs to let go of some standards rather than piling them on to her emotional plate. You can't marry someone with different standards of cleanliness and expect yours to prevail — the only fair expectation is to land somewhere in the middle.

I wasn't denying that. I'm sure it does. I am confident this is way better than most (if not all) current cloud solutions.

I just think it is unfortunate because there is no technical limitation of the cloud that prevents it from being instant on the cloud as well.

The cloud can't handle spikes well (1,000 customers all unexpectedly try to scan at once) but if the load is predictable, linear, or easily done in parallel which I suspect it is for this use case than it is perfectly doable with no delay on the cloud.
This is a strange article that doesn't seem to say much of anything. It almost seems like it is just a piece written and published to make people feel better about aging. Even if the premise is true, it is incredibly insubstantial.

I, personally, would expect that wisdom does not come with age, but with experience and training in how one thinks. That doesn't come with age, it comes with time. The sooner or later you begin this training, or the harder you train, greatly effect when or if this wisdom comes. Though, in people who pursue wisdom, I doubt their pursuit decreases with age.

A final aside, the article's representation of wisdom ("When you’re old, and something goes wrong, you say, “That’s okay. There are other things that will go right.”") sounds awfully like apathy, if not careful. I believe wisdom is more than that.
> not a decision that should be labored over.

Getting the right service is obviously important to her. But that doesn't mean the decision should be labored over -- the cost of a wrong decision isn't high; if you don't like the one you hired, just try another one.

I agree that this is an important skill to cultivate, as well as the ability to sum-up approximate costs accurately and quickly. That said, I do think that when we are looking at adding a regular, recurring cost to our budget we would be well advantaged by doing the requisite research. In the case of a cleaning service, it's possible (perhaps even preferred) that they'll be performing this service when no one is home. In my own experience, I have found a shockingly wide variety of price points when looking for such a service.

My own rule of thumb is to get three estimates, hopefully at least one from a company or service that was recommended by someone I know personally.

OK, so please explain how the tax evasion scheme apple has in place to make record profit and please the shareholders make things great for people ?

This tax evasion is money taken out of infrastructure (schools, hospitals, ...) healthcare, housing for the poor, and so on. Actually tax evasion is among the main culplrit for third world countries remaining poor and economical crisis around the world. Tax evasion money alone in Europe is enough to fill the whole European debt at once.

Also explain the work condition of manufacturing of apple devices at the other side of the world ? Why not provide decent work conditions and pay to their workers ?

Of course Apple knows this, they designed it to work that way and increase inequalities because they're on the good side of the divide.
Sure - you use observation and comparison to validate against your existing models, not directly against other countries. To apply the model to other countries, you have to tweak your model for additional factors that vary between the countries. It's preposterous to assume that you can straight up draw a conclusion from Iceland and apply it to, say, China.

19th C banks are wholly different creatures to what we have today - we weren't even on fiat currency in the 19th Century, much less using banks as extension of monetary policy. The entire point of defending banks is that there is an immense amount of built up regulations that would not transfer over to the 'new banking system'. And while it's debatably whether or not existing regulations are good, the current regulatory environment makes it unlikely that any sort of similar consumer protection would be re-built in this day and age - just look at the modern ICO, which is wholly built on smoke and mirrors.
Yes, exactly. I would go further and say generalizing intelligence, even types of it like wisdom, is one of the most pervasive-yet-close-to-meaningless concepts that exists.

Maybe we say the one who went to Harvard--even assuming the rare case they got in on academic merit alone as a particularly incredible prodigy--may have fantastic mathematical ability, but not have ability or willingness to socially adapt or even contribute constructively to society (Ted Kacznyski). In other words, is there positive value in saying he was particularly intelligent rather than good at math and academic coursework, etc?

There are infinite other examples: one can be good at engineering, and bad at writing, etc.

Granted there are in fact those with more intellectual horsepower, but everyone has it in a different variety. Then their different experiences, skills and knowledge shape them as a different person.

The misleading nature of our thinking about particular ability and abstracting that into a concept of intelligence appears to also be part of human's arrogance in their egos. Hubris is something very human that we collectively get caught up in. The reality is we are all bad thinkers relative to omniscience. Arguably the greatest scientist, Newton, had plenty of crazy ideas about secret messages in the bible, and alchemy, etc., and it's not that he was stupid or illogical, it's that he had different mind that existed in a different environment, as we all do.

We also have extremely stupid ideas that people in the future will look back on in the same way, and ask themselves "why were they so smart, yet so stupid?"

Long ago, I heard someone remark, "some women will marry a man, and immediately try to change him into something that he is not and never was. It never works, and they both end up frustrated and miserable."

In the ensuing decades, I've watched that scenario play out many times, with both genders in both directions. (But mostly it was the woman trying to change the man.)
I am more and more in the HN camp with those viewing the bulk of social science as...not good science.

> We have been doing a study of about 2000 people from age 21 to 100-plus. We look at their physical health, cognitive function, and psychosocial functioning. What we find is that physical health declines after middle age, which is not a surprise. Cognitive function starts to decline in older age, not a surprise. But psycho-social functioning, including wellness, quality of life, and happiness progressively improve with age. Older people handle stresses better than someone in their 20s and 30s. When you’re young and something goes wrong you might be crushed. When you’re old, and something goes wrong, you say, “That’s okay. There are other things that will go right.”

This is the unroasted scientific nut in an article written with an overwhelmingly authoritative tone. It sounds like the researchers have an online form or sent out a survey. To whom? With what specific questions? Or maybe they are asking in person and older people are more reticent to reveal to a stranger that they are lonely or unhappy. Does "We have been doing a study" mean it is still in progress, and if so, why are they reporting the results already? The answer of course is that an article like this helps justify the grant money / salaries for the UCSD Center for Healthy Aging.

> When you’re young and something goes wrong you might be crushed. When you’re old, and something goes wrong, you say, “That’s okay. There are other things that will go right.”

This bit is massive, massive blanket statement to extract from whatever survey they are conducting. Both the young and old can be equanimous.

Looking at my own grandmother's current life- almost every one of her friends is dead and she has the more limited mobility and health problems people in their 80s often have. She definitely tries to act as cheerful as possible around us, but I know she gets sad. Because having everybody who really understands you and shared common experiences with you be dead is sad. No longer being able to ride a bike or have the health to travel is sad. Its de-humanizing to think that older people somehow don't feel the emotional pain of these experiences.
The simple reason Apple is somewhat different is because unlike the other they sell hardware. That's about it.

Other than that they have the same tax evasion scheme (didn't they actually ben innovators here), they have the same exploiting manufacturing process at the other side of the world. Yup Apple is really not that different.
I'm not sure if I could argue the leave side fully, but here are the two points they have I believe are very much important:

- Many people do like sovereignty of their state, and fear EU is evolving towards weakening, and eventually subsuming nation states. Discussion of the merits of both the position and the fear is a complex thing that needs to go into details, and a one which media failed to do properly.

- Many people also dislike the immigration situation within the EU. Again, this is also a very complex topic.

Neither of those points, I believe, can be dismissed out of hand, which is often what happens in discussion about Brexit.

(Disclaimer: I have no direct horse in this race, but I am a citizen of the EU and kind of like it to stay, so I lean towards the stay side.)
