I really believe we're entering a new global Gilded Age, in which the concentration of wealth is yielding increasingly abject poverty and misery for the lower and middle classes. Corrupted government, environmental degradation, a resurgence of authoritarianism - these are all symptoms of the dominance of wealthy and the consequence popular disillusionment with social institutions.

It's high time for a revamped Progressive Era.
Your last paragraph is a tall order. Too many conflicting priorities.

The only way I could see this happening is some open/decentralized chat protocol takes hold and private companies build nice UX on top of that.

Sadly, strong UX is not the strength of opensource/foundation driven development. (For the love of god someone please prove me wrong on this)

None of what you said conflicts with my comment and suggested question re-formulation.

The world is filled with an unlimited number of concerns about infinitesimal risk. Your question remains boring and distracting, and, as pointed out elsewhere, the risk is not likely enough to be important.
"Censorship" here is a big scary word for very basic common sense parenting: recognizing that kids of different ages, personalities, and emotional maturity are not ready to be exposed to some things.

I agree with your assessment that parents should talk to their kids more about difficult topics at all ages, in an age-appropriate way, of course.

But you can take this too far and end up with the idea that parents should be fine with their kids seeing any kind of sexual, violent, or other disturbing content no matter their age or maturity level.

The only one of those I could corroborate is the pen style settings issue, which occasionally irritates me too.

Price: I won't argue it's expensive and if it isn't scratching an itch you've had for a long time then it might not be worth it. Mine has provided that much value to me since I bought it, and I figure I'm paying a little extra for early access anyway (and hopefully supporting a technology that will stick around for a while).

Battery: I can see it lasting for only hours under heavy, constant use, but I've found that I only need to charge mine about once a week and I use it daily. I'm just not drawing or doodling on it constantly, so mostly it sits idle next to me and is interrupted every once in a while for a quick note.

Apps: I haven't used any of the mobile apps for it because that defeats its purpose (for me).

Pen response: has been perfect for me so far. This makes me wonder if you had a glitchy or buggy device.

Freezing up: I've seen this happen twice, I think, since November, and in my case the device locked up for several seconds and then rebooted itself, which I thought was pretty cool (a hell of a lot better job than KDE on Debian 9). I didn't lose any work, even though both times I was using it when it happened.

Customer support: haven't had to deal with them, but I'm not surprised at the lack of response. That seems to be a trend over the last several years. Nobody does customer support anymore.

Ereader: Ashamed to admit I haven't tried using this feature on it yet, just haven't got around to it.
13 Inspiring App Store Product Shot Ideas for Your Startups iPhone App
Windows NT 4.0 had the same GUI as Windows 95 and was released in 1996. That's the version of Windows that sealed the deal for professional applications.
What's strange on a mac is somehow having the ability to completely lose windows.

Another frustration is trying to view two apps together on the screen at the same time, if one of the apps itself contains multiple windows. I'm not at my desk to try this but let's say you have multiple chrome windows open, all with their own tabs, and you want to view your current chrome window overlayed on a window from another app. To do this you have to manually minimise all of your chrome windows one by one so they will all move of the way, to allow you to switch between apps and view them both at the same time.
There are immediate dependencies? Seems "depended on" should include sub-deps, as well.
Telegram's security is a joke. They show the first and last letter of your password and the length (the number of asterisks they put in the middle changes) when you sign in. Next to some pretty bad implications (do they store the password in cleatext or just the length and two letters?) , that password is down to about 1/5 of its original entropy. Told them a year ago, they don't seem to care.

EDIT: Yes, Telegram uses passwords if you enable them. This is what the questionable query looks like: https://i.imgur.com/BAnddlg.png

My mother is a retired police officer who sometimes worked on homicide investigations.

She once pointed out to me that the way police work is portrayed on TV series is very different from what police officers do when investigating a homicide. And with good reason: If TV showed an accurate version of how murders are solved (or often enough not), it would be really, really boring to watch. On the other hand a real-life murder investigation can be quite harrowing because somebody actually died by the hand of another person. That element is very hard to reproduce, which is why death is portrayed so banally in crime programs.

The relation between porn and real-life sexuality is strikingly similar, is it not?
Neural networks will make humans obsolete. How could they not? They're just connections of mathematical objects...kind of like the way we describe reality. If we can accurately describe reality, then we can accurately instruct a computer to perform real life tasks.
No that's not true. Leverage and "money that never existed" are not one in the same.

For example, if you buy a futures contract with a value of $1000 but it only requires a 10% margin ($100) to buy the contract.. you are levered 10x if you only put $100 into the account. Let's say the futures contract drops 50% down to $500. You just lost $500 even though you put in $100. Someone gets that money on the other side. So there's an example of leverage that has nothing to do with money never existing.

Money that never existed is how you could talk about the vast majority of investments, but has nothing to really do with leverage. Let's say my company goes public and it's valued at $1,000,000. The share price is $100. Well people keep buying and selling higher and higher, now the share price is $200. Then $300. Everyone now holding the shares at $300 has the company valued at $3,000,000 and claims they collectively "have" $3,000,000 of value.. but.. nothing changed. My company has done nothing different. This is money that never existed in the first place.
This title sounds amazingly cool for a science paper.
Love is the wanting good for another person even if it costs you personally. Porn teaches you to want pleasure for yourself, even if it costs someone else. That's not love, that's lust.

The chemicals released in your body and especially brain during orgasm build a closer connection and bond within you to the concepts and people you focused on during it. Pornography trains you to be selfish. Whereas having sex and both orgasming at the same time, focuses your mind on making your partner happy and that mutual self-giving becomes what you crave. Because it's based on love, that same mutual self-giving carries over into the rest of your life, and you find more happiness in giving gifts than receiving them, in doing more chores so they don't have to, etc. That's love.

I have two 1st gen Echos, and I think Amazon's moat is laughably overrated (and is being drastically overhyped in the early Homepod reviews). Surveys show that people are using these things for nothing more sophisticated than Siri 1.0 - timers, songs, weather, "what time is it" - which squares with our experience. We have some connected devices, but Gruber is right - at the moment, they require such stilted grammar that our phones will be the center of our connected home for the forseeable future.
I've tried quitting either for years, very much addicted. Or at least a very strong coping mechanism.

If you're anything like me, it's more or less impossible to quit one and have the other. Watching porn will eventually lead to masturbation and vice versa.

I've recently tried taking the half-measure of exclusively audio pornography (/r/gonewildaudio) - in an effort to see if I notice any changes in my perception of women or anything. Been on it exclusively for a few weeks now and I feel the same. If anything, I'm more tired since it takes much longer without the visual stimulation.

In what sense is it dangerous and in what sense is it mysticism?

It's actually kind of an interesting philosophical question, I linked to some background reading at the end of this post.

>Saying "my values are so complex that they cannot be reasoned about" is anti-intellectualism dressed up as profundity; it's nothing more than an excuse to stop trying to understand.

It's not anti-intellectual, it's a different intellectual viewpoint from yours.

Gruber, like him or hate him, has really hit the nail on the head when attempting to elucidate Apple's thinking towards HomePod.

> First, “What if we turned ____ into a small advanced computer?” is arguably Apple’s mantra for entering new product categories.

> The difference between HomePod and Amazon Echo isn’t that they’re in different product categories. [...] The difference is in the priorities behind the devices. [...] HomePod’s first priority is clearly audio quality. That’s why it costs $350. Amazon has placed a higher priority on price

I think Apple's philosophy towards products is "What does a user want to do, and how can we uniquely enable that through design and hardware." Apple has seen that people really want to play music in their home, and with HomePod they have a unique hardware solution and premium experience.

That's why I think Gruber is correct in his thinking re: Apple Music exclusivity:

> It is unclear at this point whether third-party “Hey Siri” playback support is the way Apple wants HomePod to be, simply something they haven’t gotten around to yet, or still up in the air internally (like native apps on iPhone back in 2007). Some people seem convinced that HomePod doesn’t support external services through “Hey Siri” out of competitive spite with Spotify. I would say that’s certainly possible, but I’m not convinced. [...] my gut says they’ll make the most money by making HomePod more useful, even if that means opening up an SDK that allows for competitors to Apple Music.

HomePod might not be a success, and it definitely has some shortcomings. But, given Apple's ability to iterate and change, I probably wouldn't bet against the HomePod being successful at some point in the future.

I think, if anything, some of HomePod's most glaring shortcomings are actually Siri's architectural shortcomings. There is a different Siri on each device, with different capabilities. That seems like one of the biggest technical challenges making SiriKit advancements non-trivial.

> not all software that allows people to communicate via the Internet is the same

Neither is it all significantly different.
The impression of a walled garden hardens for me when it comes to interoperability. For instance, instead of providing gateways to standards such as XMPP or IRC, as a developer I am confronted with an absurdely complex API. It is rich and versatile, but impossible to implement a client in a couple of hours (not talking about their bot API, this is not a full client).

Even worse, one can only participate in their network with a mobile phone number. In my country, land line numbers do not even work.
>I am tired of seeing issues framed this way: "Despite all objective evidence, my ideology drives the view that it must be making men brutal and compromising women's power"

The paragraph you quoted is literally saying "although evidence suggests porn does not increase assault, no matter what you believe about it it helps shape the views of people who watch it on sex and gender" which is the most obvious, tepid, noncontroversial statement that is devoid of any framing at all. You are literally complaining about an example the author uses of an opinion she does not have. The primary complaint you should have about this paragraph is how contentless it is, not some weird claim about how the statement that media effects culture is somehow malicious framing.

>Seriously, NYTimes? This is activism, not inquiry. I'm disappointed.

Yes, how dare someone who writes about a topic have actual experience with it that informs their opinions. I think it's actually far worse to have a "detached, impartial observer" (which of course does not exist) writing about a topic on which they have zero relevant experience. Which is pretty much standard operating procedure with NYT. How many articles are there in NYT from media elites pretending they understand the poor? Countless. This article is a refreshing positive change.
I chalk this up to the culture/counter-culture cycle. When the trend is to wear logos, the next trend will usually be to wear clothes without logos (or with different logos), and vice-versa.

An anecdote I like to look back to here is how Gap once sold mostly clothes with "GAP" prominently displayed, but nowadays is somewhere you can purchase an entire business casual wardrobe.
I like the UX, but too many metrics usually don't help for development teams. I have seen more false positives than true positives.

I beg to differ. The condition of clothing is correlated to quality and amount and type of wear. I have some (plain) t-shirts that have lasted 10 or more years with no fading. Avoiding hot water and clothes dryers goes a very long way to making clothing last.

Modula-2, one of the early languages with coroutines, had a pretty simple implementation. With NEWCOROUTINE a new coroutine was created (including the heap memory that would function as a workspace for that coroutine), TRANSFER to transfer control from one coroutine to another and IOTRANSFER to do the same but for interrupts. With these one could design a scheduler and off you went!

I had built a coroutine system for a Pascal environment by implementing NEWCOROUTINE and TRANSFER. Both turned out to be pretty simple in assembly language. The workspace contained an area for the CPU registers and the stack. So TRANSFER involved saving the registers of one coroutine in the workspace and restoring the registers from the second.
actually, due to the fanaticism that exists against cryptocurrencies in HN, I think it will take over everything. People hate it either because they didn't get in early or because it's disruptive to their work or because they would like to understand it but can't and many other reasons.
There's an instrument to "track" future volatility in the market. There's also an instrument that does the opposite of this volatility.

If the volatility moves from 15 -> 30, it goes up 100%. What happens if you are "short" (or on the opposite side) of something going up 100%? It loses it's entire value.

Now of course it's more complicated, and if the movement from 15->30 happens over a long period of time you can be modifying the hedges to work it out so you don't go to 0.. but if the price SUDDENLY goes up 100% with very little time to react, and you hit all your margin calls on various hedges.. then it's dead.
So VP9 is "just" used by the largest video streaming service in the world, which is quickly dwarfing Blu-Ray.

Sounds more likely, and the causality of the effects GP observed may also be transitive through tightened finances. For example, more businesses could be encouraging/allowing more casual dress, in part, because they know they're not paying enough to expect their employees to wear more formal attire. So rather than spending habits being driven by workplace norms, workplace norms are likely driven by workers' ability to spend.
