> media-driven neuroticism—a love of change for its own sake, or neomania, a love of new things. Ultimately, neomania together with the media has a negative effect on our moods, which isn’t surprising considering most of what makes the daily news is negative. This leaves us feeling powerless, like the world is falling apart. So we turn to social media to witness the (seemingly) beautiful lives of celebrities, and the romantic and exciting lives of our friends and family. But this ends up driving the compulsion to compare our own lives with those of the people we see on social media, creating feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, and jealousy.

> The more media we consume, the more noise we get (rather than the valuable part, called the signal.) If we consume the news on a yearly basis (in the form of books), we can assume about half of what we consume is signal, and the rest noise (randomness). If we increase our frequency to a daily intake, the composition would increase to about 95% noise, and only 5% signal. If we increase our intake to an hourly frequency (as those who follow the stock market or heavy social media users do) the composition increases to 99.5% noise and 0.5% signal. This is roughly 200% more noise than signal, more toxic noise to both misdirect and distract, and has negative effects on our mood.

It seems it's not just hyperbole, it's plain falacious bullshit. Sorry i did not read it all.
That's my point though, it's a view of community as composed of the atomistic unit: the individual. Even your language, 'peer to peer' portrays the community as composed of individuals. I think that individuals are just as composed of their communities as their communities are composed of individuals, there is no 'atomistic' unit to society.

Even Tocqueville wrote about it:

there are more and more people who though neither rich nor powerful enough to have much hold over others, have gained or kept enough wealth and enough understanding to look after their own needs. Such folk owe no man anything and hardly expect anything from anybody. They form the habit of thinking of themselves in isolation and imagine that their whole destiny is in their hands.

and later:

Each man is forever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart.

The hermit isn't just someone who lives in the woods. It's someone who lives in the woods and doesn't come down. A hermit is someone who opts out of the obligations of community. To that extent I think most of us are hermits now. How many groups other than family and the closest friends does the average person now feel a strong obligation to? I'd say very few.

I think we're lonely because we have too many choices. When I can go to any meetup, any concert, any social function, any whatever, it makes me less likely to make friends, not more.

Looking at my own experience, I didn't even particularly like my friends when I first met them. Several of them seemed outright repulsive. It took several months of being in the same "sticky" social situation to bond--long periods of time in the same school, sport, club, neighborhood, etc. If I had the opportunity to transplant myself into another social situation after the first day/week, I'd never have made any of those friendships.

How can we keep the same group of people stuck together for a sufficient amount of time? I think that's the secret for creating friendships and curing loneliness.

My Symbolics computers (running Symbolics Ivory processors) run Lisp really well, as well as C - they have a C compiler.

I have operational computers of a variety of architectures at home, including the oldest generations (6502, 680x0), Sparc, Symbolics, DEC Alpha, MIPS 32- and 64-bit, etc., and even an extremely rare (and unfortunately not-running) Multiflow, the granddaddy of VLIW.

My favorite part of the original article was the final section. I wish we had a modern CPU renassiance akin to what was going on in the 80s and 90s, but the market dominance of x64 and ARM seems to be squelching things, with optimizations to those architectures rather than novel new ones (with possibly novel new compiler technologies). 64-bit ARM was a nice little improvement, though.
The title is not a well formed statement. It all depends on what you are used to. IE. If I write Java, C is low level. If I write assembler, C is high level.
Unless we do a comprehensive comparative study across countries, this will be like trying to determine if you’re upside down while spinning in space. You have no concurrent frame of reference other than historical.

Forking Redis Followup
It doesn't. They are likely referring to some malware attack vectors that rely on hijacking local DNS or routing between the web browser and the server (eg, at your coffee shop wifi, or your ISP injecting junk into the HTTP stream), and requiring HTTPS makes such attacks a little bit harder. But there are plenty of other ways to send "ad malware" to browsers that work just fine over HTTPS. And as for ISPs, they could easily (in some places, they likely do, and someday most probably will) require you to install their own custom certs in your trusted store and MITM all your web traffic. TLS 1.3 tried to work around this threat as well, but enterprise security people who "need" to monitor all traffic in and out of their network blew that up. But your browser will show a green lock icon, so it's fine.
I actually laughed hard at your last sentence. But you have made a very valid point.

One has to be pragmatic while establishing a company, especially in tech. The pitch shouldn't be something like - "Inventing a time travelling machine that that will reverse the entropy of the universe while self replicating von Neumann contructors"

"In 2014 alone, some 840,000 companies sprang up, in a country with a population of 50 million. This high number of enterprises relative to GDP suggests that opening a business is a poplar economic activity for many South Koreans."

Yes you described LastPass exactly as I said. You need to go and turn it on as accessibility services. You get told anything turned on can see you screen/keys etc. And with that you have control and visibility as you can see what apps you have given permissions vs ones you don't. You make the conscious decision to grant that sort of permission and for that you get a better user experience.

Apple is more like the outdated OS with more features and better user experiences going to Android.

Out of date Android's aren't really the big problem you make it out to be. It just means they really won't the latest apps. They probably just use their phone to call people and are happy with it.

And you're kidding yourself to think there isn't adware/malware for Apple flying around. The number of vulnerabilities and malware does not indicate how secure a platform is but how often hackers are trying. With Android's increased marketshare of course it gets the majority of attempts.

If I can easily try Nvidia binary drivers, and recover without trashing my system, this is big news.
Over-engineering is what I did...

- Raspberry pi

- Open/close sensors on the garage door as well as the side-entry door

- Camera pointed at the side entry door taking photos while it is left open

- Push alerts to my phone if either door is opened between specific hours of the night (Break-ins to detached garages were huge in my neighborhood)

- Voice controls from my fucking phone to open the door

I sold the house otherwise it'd probably be an even larger monstrosity today
How is "Good Calories, Bad Calories" as a book? What does it talk about?
Seems like an effort to dismiss the new antitrust movement's goal of helping people realize the problem presented by these enormous companies is a political problem that needs to be analyzed across the many ways society is affected.

The author doesn't make a very spirited defense of his main point, because he distorts the neo-Brandeisian analysis of the effects of Amazon on business and employment into a question of whether the means Amazon used to achieve those effects are legal.

Modern Anti-trust is looking to see whether new standards should be applied to anti-competitive behavior, based on how the most powerful companies are affecting society. They're not trying to litigate whether our current megacorporations broke any rules to get where they are.

But even conceding that point, let's return to the introductory paragraph, What does it mean for a company to be Too Big? There are obvious answers, like how a company that is "too big to fail" holds the government and citizens as collateral when it gambles.

But what about something that applies to the tech monopolies more directly? Too Big to Manage. It's an absentee landlord type situation. Facebook allowing people to sell oxycontin and meddle with the US election comes to mind, but what about:

1) Good faith usage of Amazon can get you put on restricted traveler lists. https://lifehacker.com/your-amazon-order-might-lock-you-out-...

2) Amazon facilitates the sale of counterfeit goods, including pet food. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16448001

3) It seems to be facilitating money laundering. http://fortune.com/2018/02/22/money-laundering-books-amazon/

4) And we've all seen the rest of the articles, about illegal drugs on amazon, about fake review scams, and more

Those are the points the author should address to counter anti-trust's uneasiness about amazon

Many companies' CSRs are under strict instructions to hang up if they ever get so much as a hint that the conversation may be recorded.

I find it utterly disgusting. Online chats, emails etc will always be recorded, why are companies so scared of their phone support being recorded?

I hope at some point we get regulation requiring companies to share recorded phonecalls with their customers when they demand it. (I'm not entirely certain GDPR covers phone calls. Maybe someone knows)

Totally agree that Prop 13 is a huge problem, it's a hugely regressive tax that seems completely out of place in a state that's supposed to be liberal or even leftist. California's liberalism is only skin deep, particularly among the wealthy, who pull their kids of out public school increasingly too.

This report from 2015:

http://lao.ca.gov/reports/2015/finance/housing-costs/housing...

has a section titled "Why DO Coastal Areas Not Build Enough Housing?"

* Community Resistance to New Housing.

* Environmental Reviews Can Be Used to Stop or Limit Housing Development.

* Local Finance Structure Favors Nonresidential Development.

* Limited Vacant Developable Land.

And Prop 13 feeds into the third in a huge way, and a bit into the first.
