In college I felt like anything was possible.

I felt the failures around be needed to just delay gratification, and work hard, because life is difficult.

I looked at my classmates, and thought they were just not serious, and needed to work harder.

After all, going to school is easy. (I still belive the worst day at school is better than any day I spent in construction.).

I'm chugging along. I'm thinking about how short life is. I'm thinking about that vague pain in my head. The pain the Neurologist said wasen't psychological, because the pain was coming from cranial nerve locations in my skull. (I forgot to tell him I used to read through Grey's Anatomy for recreation.)

I thought I was doing well. Doing great in school. Keeping down a job. I really felt I could do anything.

I was lonely though. I broke up with my college girlfriend a few years earlier--why--for no good reason? Just young, and dumb.

My vague head pain was my daily friend.

I was toying with getting two professional degrees. Why not? School is easy. Just delay gratification. Don't mess up your life with chaos, and all the drama of a relationship.

Then a classmate died of a anyurism. I didn't know the kid, but he was the image of health.

It wasn't long after I went home for a holiday, and at around 11:30 pm, I had a panic attack. A scary one, but I had minor ones before, so no big deal. I'll just go to sleep, and feel great on the morning.

Wake up at 8:30 am, and the minute my bedroom door opens intense anxiety sets in, and stays with me all day.

After a few weeks, I see a bunch of doctors. They all say different things. I pick out a Therapist out of the yellow pages. See him for months. Anxiety just off the charts.

I finally see the "right" doctor, and he gives me a long half life benzo. It works, but only works for a few hours during the day. Alcohol worked better. It scared me because the last thing I wanted was to be one an alcoholic.

Well the intense anxiety went on for a decade. My life definely suffered.

I went from the better, capable guys in the room, to someone who could barely walk into the room.

I don't have any advice. I wouldn't wish what happened to me on my worst enemy. My doctor did say my case was unusual.

I'm still kinda a perfectionist though. My life is close to being homeless, but when I do something; I still do it well.

Enjoy your life.

I'm not sure how that affects my point? Which was that you'll be missing the feature when you use LOS. (Not to mention I don't know how true it is either... the blacklist page was very much in my OS settings.)
> People will find a way to stay busy

You are implying that this will happen automagically, and there is no cause for concern. I disagree. People will find other things to do, but if we want there to be jobs in 20 years for people who have lost their jobs to AI, we need to get to work now.

To use an example to illustrate my point, people have always found new sources of energy. We have never ran out of energy, nor faced extreme shortages as old resources dried up. Does that mean we should ignore any calls to action for investing in alternative and renewable energy sources? After all, why should we worry about and waste resources to prevent a thing that has never happened? Humans have always found a way, I'm sure in time, when oil and gas and coal dries up, we will find something else. Right?

Things work out in the end because we make them work out. Waiting until the disaster hits and then starting to think about possible solutions is not a reasonable approach. If we want to have alternative energy resources by the time we run out of fossil fuels, we need to start working towards it now. Same if we want to have alternative jobs by the time the current ones become obsolete by AI.
Not even slightly. The definition of substantive:
having a firm basis in reality and therefore important

Quotes, citations, showing one's work are all inherently substantive.

To take something seriously as Nazism in the context of a game like a puzzle to be solved, it's brilliant and absurd, and literary cleverness, and worth repeating as is. And this wedge fits within the timing of the article, itself wedged between rampant Nazism in the U.S. but before the U.S. had entered WWII. I doubt this activity could be called a game during or after the war, no matter the satirical hints.

Adding no information? That's the vast majority of comments on HN including my own, which don't get either an up or down. But fine, you can say it did not enrich the conversation.
disagree.

writing creatively or with nuance is definitely an orthogonal skill to coding, but understanding and following grammar rules requires a very similar syntax-parsing ability to that which is required to write code that will compile. unless you struggle to get simple programs to compile, you very likely have the ability to write with proper grammar, assuming you are willing to make the effort.

I would even argue that the skill of technical writing, where precision and compactness are valued over creative flourish, maps very closely onto the same skills needed for good program design and clean coding style.

I understand your concerns, but we can't not publicize the information, that would violate the public interest. These leaks have little effect if they are not broadly distributed.

However, out of concern for individual workers in the bureaucracy, I would support a tag on such stories to warn them before clicking.

EDIT: On reading the other comments here, I don't think even a tag is warranted for this story as no leaking has occurred.
It's not different for encrypted data that obscures the content but not its size. I've written before about how you can sometimes infer the size of a password in a HTML form submitted over an otherwise fully secure, correctly implemented SSL (HTTPS) connection. I've also shown how you you can guess the general location on the earth encoded in GPS coordinates from the size of the textual representation of those coordinates alone. It's not rocket science to make this deduction, but it is, I think, nonetheless an under-appreciated aspect of consumer-grade encryption.

> When law firms offered Sandra Day O'Connor a secretarial job after she graduated third in her class at Stanford, do you think they said "we just don't like women?" Of course not. They couched their bias in appeals to the differences between men and women, and how those differences supposedly were relevant to the practice of law.

Note that he isn't saying that women do have these traits; they are saying that on average, they are more likely to. In this example, O'Connor would just be one of the ones to not have them.

Take almost any jobs you can think of and reflect of how many of a humans skills are actually needed for the job function that has any value. Now think about whether it would be hard for an AI to learn that function.

What you will find is that radiologist and other highly specialized jobs actually are much easier to replace than say a cleaning lady because it's a job that requires a lot of different skills.

AI doesn' have to be impressive or even come close to being general AI to be a danger to humans and the jobs that require the most of a human are often not the best paid jobs. The will be even less true if humans have to flock to al be cleaning ladies/men.
So let's say you use an img tag, but the user right clicks and chooses view image? Navigating to the svg seems to run the scripts.
He's not an MIT researcher AFAIK. He's affiliated with DCI, which runs under the MIT banner. MIT actually had a favorable article in their review that DCI took issue with--but of course they were both going after a Swedish contract to create an e-money. IOTA survived the cut, which probably infuriates them even more.
to be fair, by "shit" I mean boring or uninteresting. The core components were lean and performant, no complaints there. However, it was near impossible to make new/exciting/relevant software for the WP platform if you didn't have their blessing to do so. It was a grave sin imo. An underdog mobile OS needs all the talent it can get; they sabotaged themselves.
I'm sorry but I'm getting a cringe out of this. I seriously can't imagine a workplace where people are throwing things at each other. I could list here my potential thoughts having to work at such a place but I'd probably get banned then. There are people for whom work is trying to not fall down from tens of meters of height, people for whom work is watching people die at your hands when you're trying to bring them back to the only life they have, people for whom work is to collect before sunrise the scraps thousands of idiots litter around all the day, people for whom work is to read thousands upon thousands of pages to make humanity a bit less ignorant cave men; and then here I'm being told whom I should aim with a toy gun in an office. And the same privileged bunch that can't do work when it feels like work can't be bothered to blinking do some work like it's supposed to be regardless of whether or not their work feels like work or not, given the loads of crapware that's pushed around all the day. And then people go on questioning how women are scarsely represented in IT, heck, anybody with some manners should be underrepresented in such a work environment. Flying toys around my head when debugging some funny exception that I don't know what the cause is, of course I'm not debugging, either I'm monkeying around along with the "colleagues", or waiting for the annoyance to stop to start writing my letter of resignation.

And WRT drinking in workplace, I have not seen a single bartender drink while working, to this day. I can't imagine blokes that throw toys at each other in an office while sober getting drunk.
People saying "it will be different this time" turned out to be false about bubbles.

Saying not (of) "it will be different this time", i.e. "it will be the same this time", i.e. your claim, can also turn out to be false.

>Pardon the harshness here, I feel like the only people this is truly a surprise to is either folks that ignore the past, or are incapable of understanding the past.

No need to ask for pardon. But what happened in the past is no guarantee of what will happen in the future. See Black Swan etc.

In Germany we still learn the poem of the 'Schlesian Weber', the weavers that lost their jobs to the mechanical looms. The misery comes through very strongly.

All of your examples caused the same misery, then lots of people died,some adapted like you said . Nobody is arguing to become Luddites, but I do see the need to acknowledge we need to handle the transition ( if you believe in solidarity, Christian or other religious values or in general care about humans ) or be honest when we do not care about peoples misery and death.
Mainly due to the average consumer not being interested in installing an app for something like LetGo or OfferUp (Craigslist competitors). Even Facebook works well in a mobile browser, with push notifications even!
It is pure ignorance to claim that iPhone is better than Pixel 2 XL. Both phones are great and it comes down to your personal preference --> look & feel of the device, camera, better Google Apps experiences, Android Auto vs. Carplay, tied up with Google or Apple ecosystems etc.

Please stop making such inflammatory statements with no substance.
WebOS was open sourced years ago. And a community even ported it to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, to the point that I believe there was even the ability to make phone calls. But it never got any momentum and the community seems to have fizzled out.
This is what I truly hope PWAs can solve. If they are 'good enough', they will bridge the gap for new platforms until they're popular enough for companies to develop for directly.
I love your project. Bridging virtual and material component is so satisfying :).
> There's so much more wrong with this article that it would take an even longer article to explain it.

Yep, I started writing up a rebuttal and realized I'd be here all day.

It's incredibly frustrating to see articles supporting your opinion, but in a fallacious manner that's easy to rebut.
A lot of people said that about the minimum wage in the UK before it was introduced, it turned out to be far from the truth.

> Under this scheme, it wouldn't just be that organization, but everybody who is a client, that could see what files you're storing (or at least verify if you're storing a particular file or not)

You can do this today, with Dropbox or whatever else- anything that does deduplication, if it saves bandwidth by not asking for files it already has.

You can't tell who is storing a particular file- only if anybody is. Does this leak information and impact privacy? Yes! But it still provides other useful properties.

If you have a copy of a file, you can see if anybody else does- a boolean value. (And if the server is malicious, it can tell who does (if it logs).) If you don't have a copy of a file, you can learn absolutely nothing about it.

So, for example, if a user uploads a, uh, personal image to the service- with Dropbox, in theory (they likely have strong organizational and technical controls against this sort of thing, mind you) if the server is malicious they can view that image.

With this scheme, the server can't.

On the other hand, if you, say, save a file containing only your social security number- or a similar low-entropy value- the server can crack the hash and decrypt that file. That's the price you pay for being able to deduplicate.

(Perhaps one could only deduplicate large files- thus handling the case of movies, music, Ubuntu ISOs, large system files, etc. To implement selective deduplication- if you want a file to not be deduped, replace all uses of its hash with, instead, a unique random value to identify the file. Server requires no modification.)

Minimum wage is orthogonal to many jobs that AI will replace, especially in medicine. If it's your job to diagnose illness from medical imagery, you probably make a good deal more than minimum wage but your job is very much in jeopardy. Truck drivers make three times minimum wage in many cases, and their jobs are going to disappear in only a few years. At past jobs, I've seen finance folks (with graduate degrees) have their jobs outsourced to overseas _data science teams_.
The KaiOS page also says they launched phones in 2017 with AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. It looks like this is T-Mo's: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/alcatel-go-flip
I was a big WebOS advocate, and loved it very much. Owned 3 Pre series phones.

But you do have to admit that UI latency on it was quite high compared to iOS. I mean, so was Android back then, but they improved it significantly.

At the risk of sounding flippant, what the top 20 consumer apps in the app store use and what the rest of the market use are very different things, especially when factoring in the enterprise. I say that as someone building a business and making money from these customers.

At any rate, we have a number of well know brand flagship apps built on Ionic, though they might not have usage patterns like Facebook/Snapchat. By far the most mobile development happening right now is outside of the well known consumer social app space.
That always seemed bizarre to me. I get that printers, typewriters, and handwriting can all be identified, but why not just grab a common bic pen and hold it in your fist like a four year old, then print? I don't see how that could be matched to anything, and surely there's less room to screw up than when you're pasting out of a bunch of magazines and newspapers.

I had an iPod back in the day. iTunes on Windows was such utter gash that I bought third party software (Anapod Explorer) to make my iPod usable.

I still loathe using iTunes on any machine I support, because it's often such a mess. It seems like Apples software quality is such a dice roll.

Man, WebOS was truly excellent. I had a Palm Pre back in the day and to this day there are moments when I'm using Android and I wish I was using WebOS instead. It had such a natural interface for multitasking too.

Unrelated to WebOS, but the Pre's wireless charging accessory is IMHO still the best to date.

>My solution would be to have mandatory systems to check the driver for alcohol or drugs

I mean, I don't even know where to begin.

First, good luck getting the 200 million drivers that don't ever have this problem to agree to dealing with this system every single time they start their car. Not gonna happen.

Second, have you actually stopped to think about how this would actually work? BAC is already a pretty vague and inconsistent check of impairment, but it is literally the best available from any category. There are no sobriety tests for other substances. And there definitely are not ones that could be compacted and used on-demand in vehicles.

> a system to check for the driver attention plus the collision detections and other driver assisting technology.

So instead of just letting software do everything, instead you think we should stop at a stage where the human is redundant and honestly a weakness in the system, just so that we can feel like we are doing something when driving? Why not just let the software do the last 10% of the work and free up 100% of your driving time? This just sounds like pure stubbornness, not an actually effective system.

And finally, it completely negates the enormous advantages of an automated driving network. Barring rare and extreme events like multi-lane closures, traffic exists entirely and exclusively because of fundamental issues in human habits and judgement. There would be no traffic if computers were automating freeways. Ever.
So why would I want to use this instead of just turning Android Auto mode on on my phone?
I'm aware of this, and aware that they can be configured to control things that the touch screen also controls. But some steering wheel buttons are not enough.

Honestly, a giant attention sucking touch screen in the centre of the car is the opposite of the direction manufacturers should be going.
Not really lifetimes, even a stone hammer like one used 30k years ago is still useful in the right context (I still find html and css quite useful for what they were originally intended for). More that even very powerful tools have a niche or set of use cases where they excel, and outside that nice other tools are likely to be more empowering to their wielder.
> It's really preventing the way Linux took off on developers desktops back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

It is somewhat ironical that the Wintel monopoly that standardized so much of PC space ultimately ended up helping Linux desktops, despite the grumblings of UNIX greybeards.
I would like to find a carrier that does actually push updates. But this was a specifically branded Samsung update. 6 months after they should have

Carriers should not be responsible or even allowed to push updates outside of very limited reasons. Samsung made the phone they should be legally required to actively update it

Is there a shell interface, or do I have to call it through python? It would be nice to be able to use it in a Ruby project.
It is fine. I don't want to feed ignorance here. It is pretty clear you have no idea what Tezos is and haven't done any bit of cursory research on it. And, to folks like you, my only advise is to wait and watch for the token to be released and then you will witness how it competes with Eth ecosystem.
What I meant was that I don't follow why does Nokia rock the boat with their choices of operating systems. They already have their own software running on the likes of the renowned 3310, so why not spend the engineering time to extend that instead of risking another platform becoming discontinued? That's what I would want to hear more about.
If you don't mind having a bit bulkier phone, I can highly recommend getting one from the Moto Z family + a battery moto mod.

I have a Play Z 1st gen and together with the mod, the battery lasts 4-5 days. It's pretty affordable, and while it's pretty bulky that is easily outweighed by not having to worry about running out of power anymore.
There are no conservative views in that memo, but just mere observations. Then we watched mob justice in effect, people, some furious some frightened, make wrong decisions and act in rage. Hopefully one day the peoples of the modern world will succeed at growing up.
Sorry, but even though I don't like Samsung phones, I really despise this kind of comment. Imagine if someone said "we don't need more smart phones, iPhones ready beautifully fill the smartphone market". How shirt sighted do you have to be to turn your nose up at the very idea of competition in a market? Even if you stick with the original product in a particular market, competition almost always makes the original product better by keeping the creator on its toes.

I'm not a huge fan of this new Samsung release. But it's not because there's already phones in the market. Adding another phone to a particular market is a positive, not a negative.

>Things work out in the end because we make them work out. Waiting until the disaster hits and then starting to think about possible solutions is not a reasonable approach.

Nor is it a sensible approach.

Excellent points. Whenever thing have been solved, it is because humans did something about it. Not because we sat around waiting for random chance or historical precedents to solve things.
I quite like Samsung UX or even Huawei UX... more than Google default UX... it gives solutions for most of the things that Android barebones lacks...

I thought about getting a Pixel, but luckily I had the opportunity to try it out and didnt convince me.
The camera was nice, but for half the price you could get a Huawei which are pretty awesome hardware wise...
Use it. Do one tutorial to teach you the basics (navigating within/between buffers, opening files, tiling windows...) and then just use it. The first week is going to be a pain, the second and third tedious, after that you'll be cruising ;-)
