Ginkgo Bioworks is really cool. I was interviewing with them a few weeks ago but ultimately took another job instead (one that didn't require me to move) but I was pretty impressed with the conversations I had with their team. I definitely expect this company to do amazing things.
Thanks, I can definitely see that happening. I don't want to work remotely excusively, just a day at home per week would be cool with me and balance out the negatives you mention.
From the comments on this thread, it seems like the documentary “Japan: A Story of Love and Hate”[1] might not only be relevant, but also of interest to many of the commenters.

Coincidentally, I watched it from a recent recommendation on HN[2]. That comment has a link to stream the movie.

There are a whole bunch of private videos in the playlist for "How to Build the Future" series. Why? Is it that the videos are just not ready yet?
Because someone asked and it explains some of the history quite nicely.

FWIW, maybe I'm the 1% but I wrote valid XHTML 1.0 for a while, but also soon gave up :P
Any group discussion could be "random users" to an outsider. To people at W3C, or even to people who just follow web standards development, the names are pretty instantly recognizable, and presumably since these accounts have been added to the W3C's GitHub org, W3C feels confident that they are who they claim to be.
It is impossible for every All Time High to be surpassed. Also, supposedly "institutional" money has already been entering via OTC trades.
The shoe web site skechers.com used to do this. With the removal of XSL support from browsers, though, it looks like it's now using some form of JS templating.
“Great Collective Organism of the Mind” at the John Perry Barlow Symposium
If I could make a design suggestion, from a minimalist perspective:

When showing results, the text that you choose to show kinda feels like the design equivalent of "HEY YO WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL MASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!!".

When looking at what to display for a video, maybe consider just <Video Title>, and <Channel Link> below that?

Other thing - Maybe have some kind of simple "searching..." indicator? I hit enter, and the feedback for it was nil, so I just assumed my keystroke didn't actually search, then all of a sudden stuff just popped up.

Other than that, this is really cool! Nice and simple, very usable.
True. But it can still be presented as what it is, an opinion. "It is the opinion of this reporter..." or "Based on what we know and the current facts..." Etc.

Better still, "What we don't know is..." The gaps in the analysis are never pointed out. Yes, that makes it opinion. Nothing wrong with that, but then it's not analysis, and certainly not transparent in the journalism sense of the word.

The problem is, stuff with obvious _glaring_ holes gets presented as full-investigated and complete.
> They want people who bought iphone to have the best experience they prepared for them.

Adding further to this, Apple also wants 100% control over that experience and how that experience is deployed, including how and what can be repaired.
People leak/gossip/whistleblow for a variety of reasons:

1. Immediate Financial - They either have a direct quid-pro-quo with the leak recipient, or stand to benefit directly from the leak.

2. Disagreement with the direction/decision-making - They want Apple to do something different, and internal (legitimate) attempts to influence this decision have failed; usually because the leaker doesn't have the political capital.

3. Vanity/Ego - More of a contributing factor to #2, but they want a feeling of power that comes from leaking.

4. Trolling - A subset of #3 really. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

5. Revenge - Feeling screwed out of a promotion, or otherwise neglected? Leak!

6. Low self-esteem - If you're approached by a reporter or blogger, having something of value is a way to boost yourself.
I would look at Youtube Feather. It was a stripped-down version of Youtube Google made several years back. Sadly it's discontinued now.

I think you've gone too far. Tearing out bloat and psychological manipulation is good, but it should have playlists, channels, and search filters. Those are important features for finding videos.
From what I've seen, and I could be wrong, David Muir seems to deliver in a way that doesn't seem heavy in bias. Admittedly, I don't watch ABC a lot so I don't see a ton of him, but his content seems pretty impartial.
I think you're missing the point. As web apps get more and more powerful (and more difficult to distinguish from native apps), they become more of a serious challenge Apple's cash cow of their App Store.

If you click on a web app and tip the creator $5 or buy the pro version unlock / etc, they don't get to siphon any of your money away from the content creator like they do on their App Store. THIS is why they block 3rd party browser engines (along with console / arcade emulators, Amazon / HumbleBundle app stores / etc). Anything that competes with their app store is bad.

If you don't like it, vote with your wallet and come on over to Android (like 8.8/10 phones sold today)!
Why You Need to Use an RTOS (real-time Operating System)
And with rumours of Apple moving to ARM chips for their laptops, they could well try to take the opportunity to lock out unsigned code entirely...

Before long they could even choose to make you buy an expensive Mac Pro or iMac Pro, or even require an 'iOS dev kit' if you want to develop for their platform.

And if Microsoft had succeeded in the mobile/tablet space, they'd be doing exactly the same...
> Please no. Branding through UX is bad UX.

I agree.

> Simple, ..., transferrable, easy to understand UX is good UX.

I disagree. I think the first part of OP raised some good points. The copy everyone's copying and that everyone understand may just be an inferior local maxima.

I think this podcast gets at some of the lost potential: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/of-mice-and-men/
Yeah, how does it affect him at all? He worked on a great product and the leak didn't make it worse. Most likely just Apple trying to add a personal element to dissuade leakers, by also accusing them of hurting friends/colleagues.
>using meme arrows
Web standards are supposed to be de jure, not de facto.

HTML5, in large part, was created to do exactly the opposite -- formally set down in writing all the de facto quirks of HTML as actually used, parsed and rendered in the real world, instead of continuing to prescribe behaviors which didn't match observed reality.
And "challenging" people or making them "uncomfortable" was never what the Brutalists were trying to do. They were utopians trying to build useful, life-improving structures unhampered by convention and superficial decoration. Any aesthetics had to come from the fundamental design and undisguised materials. Their designs often had a lot of practical problems, but they were never trying to be weird or off-putting for the sake of artiness. Hell, a lot of Brutalist buildings were the most functional, utilitarian structures you can picture.

This whole thing uses Brutalism as a clickbait buzzword; it has nothing to do with the principles.

A web site inspired by Brutalism would consist of the elements that the designer considered core to building it and avoid anything else. If CSS is not core, don't use it and instead rely on the browser styles. If JavaScript is core to function, use it. Etc.

What's sad is that in each of the cases I have encountered, the convictions that were concealed would not have been issues. It was the lying about them that did it.
> But Go was designed to be used with a GC, no?

I'm not sure this question makes sense. It was designed for easy memory management for the default case by way of GC, but it was also designed to allow users to opt into their own memory management schemes for niche cases. In any case, this seems even less relevant than your original claim.

> You are making a very strong statement here. Since we're on HN, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

It's a strong statement in that it uses absolutes, but it's pretty obvious. "No GC" is not a requirement, it's an implementation decision that assumes GCs are incompatible with the actual requirements (usually something like, 'there may not be unexpected, long pauses' for some values of 'long' and 'unexpected'). In many such cases (for example, game development), Go's low-latency GC is perfectly suitable. In other cases, you can just mind your allocations.

> Of course you can compare the two languages, but my argument is that it's essentially a useless comparison.

I disagree. To pick a language to use for a new project, you're best served by comparing the candidate languages (as opposed to picking one at random).
Adbusters Magazine is the epitome of style over substance.
That and answering questions isn't considered speech when the thing answering is a search engine.
The underlying mechanism there is generally that the other party doesn't contest that the printout is in fact of a picture from their phone, or that the screenshot from Reddit is in fact of something they wrote.

They're probably scheduled to be published.
Yes, you can't escape that unless you use some AI agent. I don't say I have solution for that.

Once again, using it to "rate coders" is just one of use cases, but I'll stick to it for the sake of this argument.

So you need a DBA. There's one here that could work for you. You can check data online about him, but you don't know who wrote it. You ask your friends around. Some guy you barely knows says he's a fraud. One of your friends says he worked with him and he's good. You're best friend doesn't know him, but his friend, who he trusts, says he's great.

This is how you build your opinion about people (I'm aware it's a simplification but it's not relevant here). The mechanics doesn't change. Just the technology. But it's a leap as big as switching from snail mail to e-mail.

How much you trust some information depends on where it comes from. But it doesn't always come directly from the trusted source. So you use your trusted sources to learn about this information source.

You also learn to lessen your trust in sources that turned out to lead you to some bad information. It's not always easy to keep it all in your head. Business people learn to master that skill because that's the algorithm that works for acquiring trustworthy information and information is money. However not everybody's live revolves about building network of great contacts and staying in touch with them polling for some useful data.
> But specifically on simplicity of implementation

I'd suggest a simple language requires a simpler implementation.

> When your garbage goes out on the curb

Hmm, there could be a business opportunity for the USPS. They could sell 'stamped' trash bags, good for transport to the town dump, which could only be collected by authorized carriers, namely the regular trash collectors.

Pawing through those bags would be tampering with mail, a federal crime IIRC ( ah, here we go: https://about.usps.com/securing-the-mail/mailtampering.htm )

Probably not a market hit, though, no one really cares. Not to mention the bags would highlight "the good stuff".
Google wasn't even deleting data in Google Talk when I had specifically enabled the Off-the-Record feature. It just didn't show the previous chats between me and my friends, but it was still saving everything for itself.

So why would I believe Google now?
To be fair, those are two different things.

As a user i wish more sites were "posters with download buttons".

Hell the very article linked to irks me because of the persistent bars (so typical of Medium.com derived sites) that cramp the actual article area.

coinlib is about a million times better than CMC. No offense to your site at all, but CMC is just terrible to use. Your site makes it somewhat better as it seems to load faster. I hope coinlib grows and takes over the role CMC has because it is clearly a better application.
My grandfather served as a medic in Burma during WW11.

He and many other young people were forcibly conscripted and herded from their villages to training camps in northern Nigeria,and after a short period were shipped overseas."They made us work hard and served a lot of meat at the camp" he said.

He told of the terror among illiterate young men who had never been anyplace outside their village suddenly being transported to war and distant lands. One of the young conscripts tried to resist the train leg of the journey, and when the NCO (a British Officer) was alerted, he hit him so hard on the back of the head with his baton that his left eye fell out.
Some conscripts on the sea voyage jumped overboard into the waters of the Atlantic. Apparently, a rumor was going around that the British meant to feed them to an ogre named 'Hitler'. Despite this, he retained a deep admiration for the British colonial masters and their ways of doing things. My mother recalls that he would tell them as children "always wash and starch your clothes. Walk erect like a DO!"[1]

In Burma he was assigned to a medical post to the rear of the fighting.
He never said much about the actual fighting except to mention that "many died",I recall he would say also "there were snakes and mosquitoes". His recollection of the Japanese enemy was that they were regular soldiers out to do their job just like the chaps on his side.

Grandpa had a photographic memory and was a compulsive note-taker. He recited from memory the name of the ship that conveyed him from Nigeria to the war, its captain and the date of departure. He knew the names of his colleagues and officers 6 decades after. Sadly, a younger me never took notes and I regret it now.

When he returned from the war, he got a job with the local authorities at a rural hospital (Nigeria was still under colonial rule). He got a high school diploma by correspondence at 52(54?) as he was an orphan and had never had the chance to go to school as a child. When he retired, he became a full-time farmer and later a clan chief.

He died aged 91 two years ago.

They can and have, but they lose. Technically Amazon isn’t the seller, but simply the marketplace, according to courts so far.

There was a discussion of this on HN recently because a car company (Mercedes I think it was) caught Amazon itself selling fakes of their products.
Autopilot means self-piloting. How many average people know the extent to which autopilot on airplanes is used, and what exactly it does? I would imagine a good bit of people think that autopilot does everything and that the pilot is just there in case of an emergency. If you translate that to cars, given the number of people with driver's licenses (not exactly a specialty like being a pilot is), I think it's dangerous to use the name autopilot.
No, even driving 200miles a day, for 15 years in a 1978 suburban with bad rings is less poluting than producing a single eCar.

So stop investing in average companies. You have any idea how much the FANG stocks alone have made me? I bought 200 shares of Amazon 3 years ago at 2 to 1 margin at $367, go look at the monstrous gains I’ve had up to today...
blink also doesn’t work anymore, and neither does marquee. Several of the frame attributes are broken as well. noscript doesn’t always work reliably depending on browser.
I see your point, but counter it with the infamous Tesla.

Tesla, while on the outside appears majestic and glorious, internally is savage, cut-throat, and miserable in some departments. YET, they have very, very minimal internal leaks.

I personally find that fascinating.
Dear Lordy, this is such a wonderful read.

The cyberpunk dna in me thanks you for this.
Funny enough, my term papers in grade school come to mind. We were required to take a subject, investigate it, present both / all arguments, and then draw a conclusion as based on the investigation.

Journalists ask questions. Tough question. The hard questions. Taking the narrative of a rumour and/or a "press release" is not journalism. When there's an over-use of "power words" and heavy handed adjectives that manipulate the interpretation, that's not journalism either.

That's the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe it's kinda like porn? I'll know it when I see it?
Or perhaps a robust second hand market for refurbished phones allows more people to afford to stay on the upgrade treadmill, increasing Apple's sales and bringing more people into the app-store system.

I mean if your lifeboat is sinking why would you insist on cramming more people on? Axing pension benefits for future employees is much preferable to what would happen to current ones if the state goes bankrupt.
Maybe. You have a big company where practically everything is a secret and a huge number of bloggers/press outlets that are desperate to publish any information about future Apple products however trivial and unconfirmed.

Reporters trying to get leaks can also be extremely charming, flirtatious, and often use alcohol to get people to open up.

They can also be extremely manipulative. Like pretending they know something already, and so its ok to comment on it, OR they say they are going to print with something that is wrong and damaging for the company. For example the next iPhone only has 6 GB of storage. You can either not confirm that, or you correct them, and say "I think you mean 600 GB", at which point you just leaked a major new feature.
Wow, thank you for sharing the link.

Try running hundreds of tests at the same time, to actually get fast results when running a full test suite.

Right now running a small testsuite takes here over 2 hours, 99% of the time is spent in the browser processes.

And that’s not nearly close to 100% test coverage.

His comments about the keyboard in the current MacBook Pros are particularly apt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KuVvb9DTaU

So, even a person holding 1 (2, 3!) genuine Apple keyboard(s) in their hands likely still couldn't do the repair -- they'd have to get a new top case. Out of warranty, I've heard it is a $500 repair. That seems to be a direct consequence of ignoring repairability (the maintainability ship sailed long ago).
This benchmark is a joke. Those 3 cpus cannot be compared to eachother.
Pensions would work a lot better if they were independently managed and firewalled from the employer.

A family member has a state pension in one of the states known for having some of the worst of these problems.

However, their corner of state employment was smart and set up an independent pension management situation. It remains fully funded and not at risk. Well, except that the state keeps trying to break down the firewall and raid it.

However, people who instantiated it did a good job of guarding against this.

Pensions aren't "evil". And who wouldn't mind worrying less about making retirement decisions as an amateur investor on one's own, and focusing more on doing a good job and raising a family and having a happy life?

What is "evil", is structuring them without defense against expropriation of funding for other purposes. As far as I'm concern, that is "theft", plain and simple. And failing to fund them per established schedule is breach of contract. You are essentially not paying employees for work done.

Maybe given that, well defined in law and practice, organizations also wouldn't make unrealistic pension commitments in lieu of providing better immediate compensation and benefits.

In addition to all the rest, there is the aspect of the turn to 401K's and similar vehicles, that money managers saw and pushed an opportunity to grow the fees they collect.

I held off from writing it a couple of paragraphs ago, but I'll say it now. Pensions aren't a fundamental problem. Banksters and their political enablers are.

If they cared about their brand, they would have considered what to do when you need to repair their product. If a good is faulty and get repaired, then it's not Apple who looks bad if the repair is bad.

No, it's very clear they make their money by pushing new product.
Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. What you are saying just sounds like a parrot repeating something without a thought.
> Whether the two are equivalent depends on the transaction costs of the two models.

I don't think we're not talking about exact, feature-for-feature, cost-for-cost equivalence.

Both these systems have the same or similar "level of digital payment smoothness" from the customer perspective. At least with credit cards, those fees are on the merchant side not part of the customer experience equation.
They'd have a hard time banning it. Bitcoin can already be used anonymously if you're careful and an attempt to ban that in countries that are something resembling democratic would be an uphill battle at a minimum.
Yes but then we have to define what informed decisions are. Then we're back to where we started because we think opposing views are uninformed.
