I think it's worth mentioning that the company that did this (Andrews and Arnold) is one of the few UK isps to provide unfiltered internet access.

https://www.aaisp.net.uk/kb-broadband-unfiltered.html

"It is part of the terms and made clear at sign up that you are opting out of all filtering in the network, including any government mandated or requested filtering. You have an active choice on this - you can choose to take unfiltered service from us or not to take service from us."

(If you didn't know, most of the other UK isps have default on parental filters, and respond to government takedown requests to block domains. Pirate bay and it's many proxys are routinely blocked. I'm not in support of illegal downloading, but I'm even less in support of government censorship)

I agree with this, and hadn't thought of the clear problem in your last paragraph.

I have 3 daughters. They all have at least a slight preference for stereotypical colors, but one will actively shun products she doesn't find frilly enough. Her interest in babies and glitter is borderline militant, and I am certain a lack of bright colors would disengage her.

I can't believe articles like this are comfortable lumping "girls" in a single group with a consistent set of preferences.
Well yes, but not testing an aircraft and having it crash and kill people is likely even more expensive.
I don't think computers themselves have been designed that way necessarily, but a much more obvious culprit is the advertising in the 80s and 90s. Computers were strongly marketed as toys for boys. NPR's Planet Money had a very interesting episode on this. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when...
It's telling that there isn't even a term for this. You've hit a major point here.

Yeah, ADSB is a position reporting system that has to work between aircraft with no prearrangement. Such a thing is inherently insecure by the nature of what it is.
Thank you both so much! I really appreciate your taking the time to share.
Is the problem that they're boy-ified in their design? Or that they're boy-ified in the way we refer to them and their users? Boy-ified in our expectations of who will be interested in them. Boy-ified in the pronouns we use to refer to users. Boy-ified in who features in the ads that suggest who's responsible for buying and using them.

Ask HN: How do you deal with collective overcomplication?
Throughout my work as a developer in several software companies I've noticed a pattern that prevented many features from actually being delivered to the users and have not found a way around this. The situation usually evolves as follows:

1. You suggest a relatively small and scoped change that would improve a certain user scenario (let's say 10 lines of code adding a new command to your API).

2. You start discussing it with the team. Everyone usually feels compelled to contribute something, so the complexity starts piling up. Someone would suggest that our old API is inconsistent we shouldn't extend it without restructuring. Someone else would point out that we don't support async requests and it's more "proper" to switch our engine to async and provide an async version of the new API. Another person could say that they've been unhappy with the memory usage forever and we must redesign the internal data representation before we move on.

3. At the end of the discussion you don't have a scoped 10-line change addressing a problem, but rather have a grandiose plan for a major update with massive risks. At this point the team usually loses interest to this and moves on to discussing the next big thing. The change ends up shelved forever.

I've been through this many many times and I've not found a good way to resolve this. If you try to include a good rationale why the small scoped change is optimal, it's usually just ignored. If you try to convince people at step #2 that the large changes could be avoided while delivering the same user experience, you start hearing arguments like "proper way of doing XXX", "should find the optimal way instead of compromises", etc. If you try to bring the topic after step #3, everyone has usually moved on and doesn't care anymore.

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this and could suggest a good way of convincing people to not overcomplicate and actually deliver results even if they are not perfect.
Are there more good references about the terrible Tesla factory?
"the RF message protocol used for most 'live' location stats in FlightRadar24, has no form of authentication."

I wonder if this is a potential security risk, considering ADS-B is not only used for flight tracking but also air traffic control and collision avoidance?

Could a bad actor (using a drone, perhaps) broadcast a false signal and trick aircraft into performing collision avoidance manoeuvres? Or flood the ADS-B bandwidth with false signals to confuse ATC?
I’ve used both Target and a Walmart’s pickup options and the former is superior.

Walmart makes you go to the back of the store. The walk alone takes a few minutes. Then you wait for an employee to show up, then you wait for them to lookup your order, then they go into the back room to get it. Then walk all the way back out.

For Target the pickup spot is right by the entrance and there’s already a person waiting there. They just scan your barcode, show your ID, and hand you your item.

Yes, to a hostile foreign power. The public isn't a place you can reside. Russia is, however.

> The US government is why Snowden is in Russia, not Snowden

The US government is not why Snowden is in Russia, Snowden is why Snowden is in Russia. He went to Russia intentionally. He wasn't kidnapped, he chose Russia as a destination specifically due to their reluctance to cooperate with the US.

> He didn't go to Russia. His flight was forced to land there...

That's not what happened, please reread his flight history because the facts are well known at this point. He told his superiors at the NSA that he was headed to the mainland USA for medical treatment, but instead flew direct to Hong Kong where he lived for over a month. 30+ days after arriving in HK he fled to Russia, with the intent of fleeing to Cuba the next day.

> ...when the US revoked his passport mid-flight.

His flight wasn't forced to land mid-flight because Snowden never even boarded the plane that day. His passport was revoked before the Cuba trip, leaving him stranded in the Russian airport.

If you're going to shill for someone who is unwilling to come back to the US to be held accountable (rightly or wrongly) for his actions, please be factually correct about it.
He also spoke out against the Indian government when they ruled against FB's basic internet program iirc.

Look Who’s Talking: IBM Debuts Watson Speech to Text “Speaker Diarization” Beta
I too can think of more than a few pink- & flowery-themed events for women in tech that I've seen, but all that I can think of were organized almost entirely by woman who worked or were getting an education in tech. I would be surprised to learn that that trend was substantially atypical. They're weren't being condescending or stereotyping: they were being themselves. I don't see anything wrong with that. The alternative is social pressure that girls who get into tech can't be into other traditionally "girly" things which seems counterproductive and hypocritical.

Totally agree with you here. I think middle school is actually the prime age to start teaching it but not the drag/drop scratch/block type stuff you see in the lower grades. It should be a requirement just like Math and English.
I'm genuinely curious here: how? Isn't appealing to minority groups by definition setting them apart from other groups? If we're not going to genericize all appeals (thus introducing the built in cultural bias of appealing to most people, i.e. the dominant group) don't we have to say "this thing that is unique to your cultural group is why you should be interested"? That sounds like it almost must include some stereotype. That doesn't mean patronizing, but it does mean making some assumptions about the group in question and why they might be interested.

She's not wrong, but to say "she just is [interested in things that are traditionally gendered]" seems a little incurious. Princesses, pink ponies, and frilly dresses did not exist when modern humans came into being. So liking or disliking those things is almost entirely a matter of socialization and not some kind of biotruth.

While you may have tried to socialize her away from "girly" stuff, peers are often a stronger influence than parents.
Sigh, I'm banned from the local mall. I won't get into why.
But the problem is that pandering is silly and not effective (whether or not it's offensive to anyone is neither here nor there).
Good summary. Basically the trick is to be rich, and spend ridiculous amounts of money with the right credit cards.

It even says in the article that his brother was killed when he was young, so his parents felt guilty and bankrolled him.

And I would speculate that issue is true throughout the whole system. With strong private property laws, fairly transparent government accountable in elections, employees with voices, and lawyers ready to do battle for any side of an issue, then there are many more considerations needed for any large project.

That said, there's a whole bunch of other good explanations in this thread. Very informative.

Erm, i would wager a question like that is intentionally transparent. and it is not as if these questions have to be said without elaboration. in my opinion it can be helpful to start conversations on subjective topics with an example, to suggest what one is looking for (or looking to avoid), or otherwise provide context on what may violate the work life balance for the particular individual.

For less experienced interviewees it may be vital to provide an example or boundary. Maybe the interviewee doesn't know how to respond to a reply of, "Yes, we have good work life balance." Even if the interviewee asked for elaboration on why it's good, that can give a perfect stage for the interviewer to say what wants to be heard instead of providing specific examples (i don't mean to say this is always malicious behavior, though sadly I'm sure that happens too).
I shipt my pants!
> Who said anything about Snowden?

You implicitly implied him.

> There are many different professions that are legal in their country of operation that the US will redirect international flights to US controlled locations to arrest you.

Which ones? Please provide sources of researchers who have had their flights redirected with the sole purpose of arresting the individuals.

> It seems like you can't accept that the US is a threat to some people's and nations sovereignty.

It seems like you struggle with providing facts and evidence as opposed to conjecture and hypotheticals.
He meant transpiled.
I just can't really fathom what sort of user needs this much (supposed) power today but is willing to have it locked down unable to add more power at a later date.
Yes, because governments want to print fiat money to finance their debt. It has a nice side effect of moving more money into spending / investment, because inflation eats savings. Instead of gold, people buy homes and stock.
No, in this example, I pay my ISP to make my end faster, the person on the other pays their ISP to make their end faster.

In the no net neutrality example, the person on the other end pays their ISP to make their end faster and then they also get contacted by my ISP who asks them to pay to make my end faster when talking to them.

So instead of agreeing with my own ISP on how fast I need my traffic to be, my ISP cuts me out of the loop and goes and talks to some third party to decide how fast to make my traffic.
> I'm not sure about straightforward but, as an example, temperature seems simpler than colour.

At least physically, this seems wrong to me. Temperature is an emergent property of systems—there is no such thing as the temperature of an isolated particle—whereas (as spectral analysis shows) even individual atoms have colour.
If you're familiar with the jdk ecosystem, I can make an analogy: webpack is to SBT as gulp is to gradle as brunch is to maven. Their styles essentially boil down to different philosophies (code-is-config, build-is-code, and declarative-config respectively).

Gulp takes the philosophy that build is code. You hand code all of your pipelines. That's works perfectly fine for simple applications where all you're doing is writing code in a single language (like say just javascript for a node backend), but I've found that it is an unadulterated nightmare trying to get things to work across types of files, as is required by front end development. Your HTML, Javascript, and CSS interact with each other in several different ways, and things no longer fit into a neat pipelines abstraction...it resembles a graph more than anything. Throw in transpilers or compilers, parallel processing pipelines (like for sourcemaps), and it quickly becomes buggy chaos.

I maintain that the best abstraction for a build system is that found in Make. Make is actually brilliant in some respects...it is a language for declaratively building a data flow between processing pipelines, but allowing you to use a Bash-ish imperative style to build those pipelines. The problems of Make are many: not everything uses files as inputs or outputs, not everything has a 1:1 input-output ratio, dynamically selecting inputs or naming outputs is horrendously buggy, etc.. But the concept and philosophy behind it are brilliant. If there is any build system of the future, it will be borrowing heavily from Make.

Nor would anyone have thought that "record low sea ice" meant a record minimum if you hadn't brought it up. I'm sure most of us would have just assumed it meant a record low according to whatever standard measure is used, just like it does for global temperatures or anything else.

I can understand the desire for more specificity. I can't understand assuming, based on nothing, that it must refer to something which makes the statement incorrect, rather than something else which makes the statement correct

It's not total darkness during the maximum. The 2017 maximum occurred on March 7th, which is just two weeks away from the equinox. At that time, most of the arctic receives direct sunlight and all of it receives at least some sunlight.
Absolutely -- To the parent: think of it this way. If you had $200 in your fund last year to invest last year, and put $1 into crypto, then at worst, you lose that entire $1, and your portfolio is down to $199 (notwithstanding what you did with the other money), a loss of 0.5%. If you happened to pick Litecoin, and bought 0.25 LTC when they were at a stable price of $4 a piece, today that 0.25 LTC would be worth $80, giving you $280 in your fund, or a gain of 40% in your total portfolio value. You can look at ETH, Bitcoin as well and also see large gains.

Even without perfect timing of the market, it's a pretty easy decision for a portfolio manager to look at this and say: "While, like any other asset, past performance isn't an indicator of future performance, given the price history and increasing trading volume over time, the risk/reward balance skews heavily in favor of putting at least some tiny bit of money into crypto for all but the most risk-averse."

Maybe explain a little more? Obviously in your opinion the OP is confused, but this answer is short and unhelpful.
Some of the problem with this discussion is the fact that we talk about technology as an end in itself. We expect that people will get interested because they like tech for techs sake, not because they view tech as a means to some other end. It's possible to become interested in tech because you'd like to build things or make movies or program games. My daughter is really ambivalent to "engineering", but she'd very much like to make movies and has become fairly tech savvy as part of that process.
Same here, 2 seconds of "what does TV have to do with that" 10 seconds of "that's going to take 20 years to integrate those two networks..." and 4 seconds of "wait, would there be anti-trust issues" then I read more carefully.

I just tried the pickup in store option and it was really convenient although since it was my first time I didn't know there was convenient parking on that side.

I also bought some stuff there and then went to get my online pickup and tried to go back to my car through the store - the cart's wheels locked up because it thought I went to the parking lot. I had to move all my stuff to a new cart.

Store pickup is still nice but $99/yr for delivery is even nicer.

> For example, ancient Greek philosophers made many speculations about the nature of atoms, and in some ways their guesses were correct, but I don't think that speculation was especially fruitful.

In terms of finding the actual answer (at least to the extent that we know the answer), it probably wasn't; but, in terms of suggesting that the question was one that had an answer, I think it was enormously fruitful. Leon Lederman's wonderful book "The God particle" persuasively (if perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek?) argues a very direct intellectual through-line from the Greek analyses to (then-)current particle physics.

(Having said this, my personal feeling is that philosophy has done its part by expanding the scope of scientific inquiry, but probably doesn't have much to add to modern-day scientific discourse; but, then again, I am a scientist, and so am pre-disposed to believe in the primacy and importance of my discipline.)

It's about the data, and the better solution is to use a database. The problem is that retraining everyone from Excel to use some sort of SQL frontend is not a small problem, and neither is getting the company to commit to operating a data warehouse.

It's really about the data though, and if the database has access to more data, and requires less work from analysts, it becomes a replacement for some work that was previously done in Excel, even if the system still supports exporting to CSV, for importing into Excel for the parts that the system does not support.

The system I am familiar with is Redshift, and we are able to generate daily or hourly graphs for various parts of the business with it.
I don’t understand why so many app developers put so much effort into building their apps and so little effort into explaining what it does/how it works. The website shows me one screenshot of a list of pages. Zero information on the user experience, how to create the pages, what they look like, can I reorder them in the list, no info of any kind about workflow. The App Store page is actually worse, because the additional screenshot it adds is baffling and not explained. A whole page of “channel” configuration information? What’s a channel? I have no idea.

I was intrigued that the HN summary talks about better iOS bookmarking. That’s interesting to me, but it’s 100% workflow dependent and there’s zero information about workflow (or even bookmarking period) that I can see.
Does what something is 'designed' for really make a difference? Is that the thing that makes something a currency or not? Or is it some other thing that makes something a currency?

The value of some currencies have fluctuated in their value wildly in the past, so stability isn't a some intrinsic thing that marks a currency.

I'm not say I don't agree that the word 'cryptocurrency" isn't banded about far too much, but saying "They aren't currencies" should be supported by some kind of description of what makes a currency a currency otherwise we can tie ourselves in knots.

Saying that the 'design' or 'stability' define whether something is a currency as it is really just using proxies (that might work most of the time) for what makes something a currency. I think.
I would use curio to experiment with the concepts because it, unlike the others, isn't based on event-loops, callbacks, futures, etc. This makes it easier to understand what async can become.
