EU set to end switch between summer and winter time – Juncker
Yes, that's what they were discussing somewhere else in the thread. I think there are some FAA regulation issues preventing it.

In the end, you're probably going to have to vote with your feet, as in, move jobs.

Moving business addresses is not trivial, and real estate in S. San Jose, though also insanely expensive, is going to be substantially cheaper than mid-peninsula. Not sure adding the equivalent of one FTE in increased rent (which is how some may see it) is going to sell to your founders, though if you're going to make the case, point out they're already burning more than one full-time equivalent in added commute times.

Your curtailed ability to socialize can be seen as a feature, not a bug, even if that's pretty cynical. A lot of people are also what you might call "pathological commuters" whereby they enjoy staring at brake lights on the 101, which gives them what they consider a respite from chaotic home and work environments, and a chance to listen to radio or books on tape, or catch up on phone calls. I'd say the evidence lends itself pretty strongly that that's the kind of people you're working for.

Unless you've already asked and asked and the owners are getting testy from all the asking, try putting together a proposal as a group effort. Get lots of colleagues and coworkers to put their names on the proposal, and focus on the owners' upside and how you've figured out all the details- new location can be up in running by such date, new address is bigger and cheaper and in a better location, etc.

In the end though, it's their company, and it's your life, and the former seldom budges an inch for the latter.
I was going to say that there's career progression towards being a 10x programmer too. But that's a much more debatable topic.

You get more flexibility to take on multiple roles. More pressure driving you forward. Much, much less bureaucracy to worry about. No more 2 month discussions over code that takes 2 weeks to write.

The downside is that you could get tied up putting out fires, being unfocused. And there's little room for deliberate training.
A Glimpse of the Future: Save and Reuse Your Page Sections in Jupiter
Most modern art isn't made to great something new and fresh... it's mass produced pastoral stuff like Thomas Kinkade or connected to a multimedia franchise (book covers, movie posters, game art, etc.) and a lot of that is certainly formulaic and derivative.

Maybe AI isn't able to copy human technique well enough yet but whether it succeeds or fails will have little to do with whether or not it creates work that resonates emotionally like classic art, because that's no longer the purpose of the vast majority of art that people encounter.

And I would argue that human beings, for the most part, copy other human beings anyway. Working within a "genre" and using cultural references and even recognizable techniques are all essentially copying or at least adapting what came before.

No one does them right. Not even Apple.
To sum it up:

* MacOS automatically registers an application as the default handler for any custom URL schemes it declares, as soon as the app is downloaded (this happens automatically when the app hits the hard drive)

* Such custom URL schemes linked to malicious app may be opened via javascript automatically on a webpage, leading to the app execution by the system

* The system asks for permission to launch the app the first time. The name of the app as displayed in the permission box is app-controlled, so it can spoof its identity or use a cute name with emojis to make it less suspicious (as per the article)

Interestingly enough, back when I lived in Tokyo, I seemed to get more attention from women there than I ever did in California, whether it was the Central Valley, the Bay Area, or the Central Coast. But I was pining for someone back at home while I was on my internship (spoiler alert: I was rejected as soon as I returned home), and so I ignored the attention I received.

This has nothing to do with the dating scene, and I risk deviating from the topic, but I felt this indescribable, overwhelming sense of freedom as an African-American in Japan that I never felt in America. I felt the difference in treatment, where I was treated better in Japan than in America. Women in Japan wouldn't walk on the opposite side of an alley whenever I walked by, nor would they act scared whenever I was alone in an elevator with them (I had an incident in Sacramento as a teenager when a white woman refused to enter an elevator with me and another black guy.) I felt like I was in a place where I could finally be myself. To me, being a "gaijin" in Japan was an upgrade from being an African-American in America.

Ask HN: Business case for a trusted, privacy-respecting webshop 'proxy' company
This is a spin-off from the thread 'Google and Mastercard Cut Ad Deal to Track Retail Sales' [0] where I got the idea.

In a world where online privacy is next to non-existing and your shopping habits are sold all over the place, I wonder if there is a business model for 'anonymous proxy' companies, where you do the shopping at your favourite online webshops, but handle actual ordering, payment and final delivery to your home via the proxy company, who guarantee your privacy for a small additional fee, or subscription charge.

Maybe this exists already. The difficulty would be in offering a good usability (how do you get that Amazon product you want in your local shopping basket).

Such a company would have the same due-dilligence requirements as any webshop and validate your payment method (which could be any method, like iDeal, and even credit card, where the payment processor doesn't get to see the exact order details, but a 'proxied order').

When I first asked on the thread there were concerns about the privacy guarantee, but there is the issue of trust in any business transaction. Why am I using ProtonMail/VPN? Because they have privacy + security as their primary USP and it is reflected in their business (transparency, privacy policies, compliance, certification, etc.). They work hard to earn and keep my trust, and I pay them to do just that.

This case would be no different. The proxy webshop would act as a VPN, but now for online shopping.

I am no expert but probably you can let your company be audited by some trusted party on adherence to privacy promises and prove that you comply.

Having that they can keep my data in storage for as long my government requires by law.

Maybe this idea is entirely naive, but I'd greatly value your input and thoughts on the matter.

I had no idea that was a thing till now. I wish they'd open more up, looks like they only have a handful. I keep seeing book stores close in some locations and then instead of a new book store a clothing store opens up instead. I wish Amazon would open up more book stores, maybe where another one has failed it could be an opportunity to take said space and make really nice book stores.

I don't really want to see Amazon become more of a giant sadly, but I hate seeing book stores disappear.

I've typed on one of these (same style i.e. a projection keyboard) and it's not that bad, the zero-tactile feedback takes some getting used to but my wpm doesn't suffer too much. I also only type at 70-120 wpm and never purchased a 'nice' keyboard so I'm certainly not a typing/keyboard enthusiast.
I think a keyboard with each individual key being e-ink would be pretty cool.

There's really only one viable solution. If you want stuff to stay up, put it somewhere that won't let anyone take it down. No matter what. And isn't vulnerable to coercion. YouTube is not such a place, of course. For most purposes, torrents are good enough. Maybe BitChute. Or for sensitive stuff, sites on Tor .onion servers. Not Freenet, though, because that is a trip to jail, just waiting to happen.

Edit: OK, about Freenet. Yes, it is uncensorable distributed storage. And yes, it is arguably impossible to prove which nodes are storing what, and which nodes are accessing what. But it is possible to establish what a given node is sending and receiving, based on hashes. And if you get busted, you will be faced with the prospect of paying an expert to explain some seriously complicated stuff to a jury. And you will likely end up making a plea bargain. Even if you were entirely innocent.

If you're curious about Freenet's opennet content, there's only one "safe" way to access it. Do everything via Tor, and access Tor via nested VPN chains. Get yourself some Bitcoin, and mix it very well. Then use it to anonymously lease a VPS. Install Freenet on the VPS in headless mode, with its webGUIs as Tor .onion services. Now you can safely access whatever you like. Maybe the VPS will get busted, but tracking that back to you will be very hard. Also, to be safe, use Tor via Whonix. Work in a clone of the workstation VM, and nuke the clone after each use. And of course, have LUKS on the host machine. Maybe use a dedicated host machine, and wipe it when you're done, just in case. Seriously, Freenet is that radioactive.
Given how quickly music becomes "old" I don't understand why copyright needs to chain up music any longer than two decades (I'm being kinda generous, some songs are old after a few months / one to five years). I hate the state of copyrighted works. Movies can stay copyrighted for a good 40 to 50 years, anything else is crazy. Books maybe 50 years too, but again, it's just crazy and clear that the extended years of copyright only benefit record labels and other publishing corporations, and not truly the artists / authors who get decent money, but it's mostly chump change.

The actual report is here:

It notes that:

> Trump’s coverage during the general election was more negative than Clinton’s

Positive coverage of Trump was during the primaries, which is what the Clinton camp wanted, calling him a Pied Piper:

> We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously.

Equally amazing is that catastrophic failures like these are almost invisible to the consumer. The economy just keeps humming along and we don’t even register a major cargo ship sinking because the shelves are always full.
I disagree. I have preferred one implementation over another because it's funnier. Plus, focusing on the jokes rather than software was more or less a necessity in a fairly high-pressure startup situation.
> Everyone is always acting game-theoretically optimally.

This isn't true at all. The fact that the efficient market hypothesis doesn't seem to hold is already the proof of that, and the same reasoning applies to other social behaviors [4].

Furthermore, many, many, many, many studies in neuroeconomics and behavioral economics (and related fields) [1] have shed light on the bounded rationality of human actors in decision making. Game-theoretically optimal decisions is a specific, well-defined thing that's different from making decisions based on the affects and biases of the preconscious and unconscious. You can't just tautologically define "game-theoretically optimal" to be whatever decision someone ends up making.

What does this mean? The direct implication is that it's neither game-theoretically optimal nor inevitable for stateless humans to enter into a social contract that eventually cements itself into a state apparatus.

A top-down authoritarian doesn't get their powers from a deity, yes, but it wasn't quite explicit coordination either. To demonstrate using a brief example, one of the models of the evolutionary stages of the social contract [2][3] is that states were a natural conclusion of tribal societies, which were themselves a natural conclusion of lineal societies, i.e. families. Lineal societies most likely weren't formed through explicit consent, i.e. early stateless infants probably didn't explicitly decide to enter into a social contract. There's basically no particular a priori reason why families exist (for example, the Ik people in Uganda seem to have no or a very weak concept of using familial relations for survival, even to protect their young), and very likely that this evolution was just the model happened to win out due to random noise in history rather than actual optimality.

Again I would like to stress how much the current societal configuration is mostly just noise instead of signal.
