I like this idea. It’s cute and thinks about the privacy of the people involved.

However I do not know how many times this would be useful at all? How often are relatives known, but contact information is unknown? In the developed world at least, because I do not think this system would be of much use elsewhere. And if the patient opts into it, then the patient could also simply hand a phone number or three.

It would also be really expensive, wouldn’t it? I don’t see a huge market for it, so performing the service for a dollar doesn’t sound good. I’m not sure if a patient would be okay with spending several hundred on both the service and someone to handle the phone calls. You could use a robot to handle that.

Still, I think a patient could just leave a phone number if they decide to opt in anyway. But it’s a nice and helpful idea!

I don't think the situation is as simple as you make it out to be. Due to the geoblock, latimes.com clearly does not offer its services to people in the EU in the sense of Article 3.2(a) of the GDPR. Now, Article 3.2(b) states that the GDPR would still apply if they track your behavior while you are located in the EU. Since you are using a VPN it could be argued that, from the perspective of latimes.com, your behavior takes place in the US and not the EU and that therefore the GDPR does not apply.

interestingly, the game itself has anti-griefing features built in. Communication is limited until your character has survived quite a while and until you're grown up you're completely dependent on the help of other players who are already at the adult stage. If you die due to a negligent mother, you're back very quickly. If you get a griefer child, it's your call whether to feed them.

the game overall has some very interesting features around community and cooperation, and rogue griefers are disincentivised against because the way the game scales seems to inherently require cooperation between strangers.

That's because Amazon exactly wants to downplay the supplier aspect. If supplier A won't fulfill your order, supplier B will and in the process they will drive each other's prices down. The last thing Amazon wants is the supplier standing at the front.

I have a theory that in all markets, the last link to the customer will win. Anything happening upstream will be commoditized away, either by obscuring the source, slapping a private label on, product placement and promotion, etc. It used to be that physical stores took pride on carrying prestigious brands, but it's no longer the case online.

This is the worst things that could happen to brands such as Nike or J&J; on Amazon, their products are just more items in a never ending category, sitting alongside rivals, knockoffs and copycats. They don't get preferential treatment. Those brands will be pressured to move to direct sales to differentiate and control their destiny.
Furthermore, Chinese manufacturers are coming out of obscurity with their own brands and through AliExpress and the likes try to get directly in front of the consumer too.

Same thing with the TV market and how Netflix, owning the very link to the customer, is commoditizing and cutting off everyone upstream, and in the process it's pressuring Disney and others to move to their own platforms.

The consumer world of the next 10 years will be all about brands trying to differentiate and survive, exclusive distribution channels, direct to consumer and market fragmentation.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on the rise of “explanatory journalism”?
In the past decade or so I've seen a huge uptick in explainer articles, videos, and podcasts (in part due to the rise of the latter two types of media and also partly due an increase in the availability of data). A decade ago, I used to partake, to an extent, in creating these kinds of articles and I'm a long-time consumer as well.

The other day I was watching a random video where tattoo artists were commenting on facial tattoos and one of them said it could signal a down-trend in getting tattoos since "where do you go from there?", if you've already reached the extreme of something.

It reminds me a bit of the proliferation of explainer journalism and the like. Everything has been explained to death which seems to mirror a "just Google it" attitude vs. how one might have visited the library to research a subject in previous decades/centuries. That is, an easy to consume vs a critical thinking approach. 'Curious about something complicated and/or nuanced? The answer is one click away.'

I've got a bit of cognitive dissonance on the subject, so I'm wondering what HN thinks.

Some people see a change making the UX worse promoted as a change that improves the UX, and feel it's an honest mistake that will be corrected by straightforward, constructive feedback.

Other people see the same thing and think the dishonesty is intentional. Docker would hardly be the first company to do this [1] - but some people may have seen Docker as 'not like those other companies' and be disappointed to discover they are.

Pure man(3) solution proposed here is very nice, but I usually just:

vim ~/doc/nginx-snippets.txt # edit

I actually have more files, config samples and source code templates, so it’s not just ~/doc/.txt, but having them all in man registry would require yet another better apropos(3) replacement. I also have my own vim colors format that is much better looking to me than md^. I know that my argument may turn similar to ‘dropbox is easy via ftp mount’, but I can’t see any need for a tool even for my relatively big snippet-base. Moreover, with vim I can gf, grep -r, edit :w, etc. And with just files it is subject to svn/sh/make, unleashing the full power of unix. --

I am in no way affiliated with this product. Yesterday I was thinking about exactly this problem. I'm a solo freelancer in the data space, so my projects always include a mix of technical and managerial/ general project management problems. I normally do a single "assessment" day with a client to check the status quo of things. Having the structure of a template I can easily run down immensely helps to reduce cognitive load to be structured and in effect helps me to render a more professional service.

The app is minimal in it's layout and very clearly structured. You can create templates, either with single tasks or section lists and create a checklist from a given template. While not relevant to me, there is also a team functionality.

Classic case of do one thing and do it well.

Thank you for the link, the article was an interesting read.
Yes, I assumed those were part of this corruption document being shopped around that's discussed in the article.

Your points are all the ones raised in that... wapo? nyt? article that you're alluding to, which was discussed here and found to be largely nonsense, IMO. For example, that 28/30/32GB thing is wrong. Are you really saying GCP and Azure don't offer 32GB options? That's a totally standard and common configuration these days.

Interesting, but given that DDT (of which DDE is a metabolite) was banned except for a few specific use cases, can we really do much about this now?

IMO disabling buttons causes more trouble than it's worth - you can never guarantee the user hasn't clicked twice (because don't forget the code that disabling the button in the first place is relying on an event firing that tells you the button was clicked - this doesn't mean 2 events can't be queued before the event handler is called), and then you need a whole chunk of code around re-enabling the button depending on what has happened after the fact which is then a big source of bugs.

This article from Ars Technica talks a little bit about memristors and HP's plans for "The Machine". The original plan was for The Machine to demonstrate this technology, but HP ended up removing feature after feature (including memristor technology) before it's release. They quote John Sontag from HP in the article:

"The simplest way to think about it is this—take a DRAM DIMM out, and put a memristor DIMM in,” said Sontag. “You now have another pool of memory that’s denser and nonvolatile. It’s a new class of memory—the consequence for operating systems is that moving stuff around from I/O devices [to and from disk] becomes unnecessary."

disclaimer: I haven’t sold a single exploit, so am taking a few guesses here. Approx ~5 of my relatively close friends are exploit devs, and most of them don’t talk about anything beyond the name of the company they work for.

There aren’t a ton of companies, but once you’ve worked in the general offense industry, names start to reappear regularly.

I’m not sure what your definition of good/bad guy is. If you don’t like the idea of 0day used for “cyber warfare” then it’s easy: only sell directly to the vendor. If your idea of good guy is your own nation, you can usually tell a companies alignment. They’ll have an ex-NSA CEO, or close partnership with a defense contractor. Ultimately you’re never sure though.

Edit: I’ll also add that in your earlier post you mention the high cost, and wasting of taxpayer dollars. I don’t disagree, but an interesting way to look at it is value per dollar. If you look up the cost of running a state of the art attack helicopter or even just a couple of hummers loaded up with navy seals and all their kit, you find that dropping a $1m piece of remote Jailbreak malware on a bad actor is actually really amazing ROI in terms of finding out what your enemy is upto, and disrupting their plans.

I could see the pork knuckles actually supporting that fact since I associate them with being what people eat when they cannot afford "conventional" cuts of meat. (I realize this is probably somewhat a cultural bias on my part as well. For example, I recently learned that Chinese style pig's feet are delicious).

I know in Cincinnati (which has a very strong German influence) one of the signature foods is goetta which is a sausage stuffed with steel cut oats. I wonder if some other German dishes that we think of as indicating heavy meat consumption could actually have been ways of stretching out the available meat.
Yes, I have high hopes for that one as well, but sadly it's not available here yet.

I don't think he meant it like that.

You could easily interpret that as -

Perfect _implies_ that it's easy to write and understand, but it's not the whole picture. It's just a feature that _he_ thinks is _crucial_ to it being perfect.

You get my point right?

Like sure, you could implemented a _perfect_, I don't know like gnome desktop in assembly language, but it wouldn't be easy to write and understand.

He thinks it's essential that it should be easy to read and write for it to be perfect.
