The 4 Principles of Creating for AI in the Workplace
Imagine everyone was able to get "educated" and get a white collar job, what would that look like? No one to work factories or construction, wait tables, etc. Society is made by object moving not papers or digits. And people are getting pissed off because the paper pushers and the digit movers are getting all the rewards and theirs nothing left for the people doing the actual work.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the benefits of a "good" job and I finished college to get where I am.
Just going off of the AAA game market your statement is obviously incorrect. That doesn't get into productivity software, engineering applications (CAD, 3D modelling, etc), or the very large variety of enterprise desktop software to name just a few markets.

Not everything is a web app these days and many people still prefer to own their software instead of being a recurring revenue source for the same functionality month after month.
Not only are you less likely to die of a heart attack, diabetes, or a broken hip, you're also more likely to be still doing the things you love when you do pass away. It's a win win really.
No, not really. It isn't a huge time investment if you know all this well (let's say you sysadmin for work).

Of course it is not feasible for most people to do this, just like it's not feasible for me personally to rebuild my car's engine, or grow vegetables in my garden. Both of which my neighbor does with great ease.

The point is, I use my skills to make my life better, as everyone does. I enjoy it, and it has the side effect of keeping my data private. For things I'm not good at, I either spend time getting good, or I pay a professional for his time and skills.

My mother uses Google and Apple services to back up her photos and data, and I wouldn't dream of forcing my approach on her.

My spouse asked me to set all this up for them, since they share my feelings about data privacy.
I mean the speed of light limitations were known to physics since the 1920's so it was obvious it couldn't continue forever.
Ditto, but with Power Rangers. I think I was 13.
As for physical security, you risk burglaries, fire, floods, etc, but that's why you have remote backups.

I keep everything except the boot drives on encrypted drives, so that in case of burglary no data is readable. The boot drives hold no data or passwords, only enough to start up and allow SSH logins.
It's a small chore to login and manually mount the drives, but IMO worth it.

As for physical access, besides the 40kg German Shepherd Dog roaming my house, the same rules apply to access as from the outside: 2FA, and limited login attempts.
I do expose more services on the LAN than i do on the internet, but everything requires authentication.

For personal cloud stuff i use Resilio Sync. It's not dependent on a single machine being powered on, and i have a couple of machines at different physical locations (both _mine_, as in hardware and sysadm tasks) "hosting" the data.
Ask HN: Should we abandon copyright?
This might not be a very popular opinion but the more I think of it the more I believe we should abandon copyright.

You can argue for example that someone took a lot of time to create something and that a copycat can profit from this in an unfair manner.
But most of the time a copy is not as good as the original and most people don't want a copy but even pay extra for the original.

Since there are a lot of smart people on HN I would like to ask this question here: should we abandon copyright?

Note: I don't believe this will ever happen, but I wonder what the upsides will be.
> Meetup, Evite, probably many more in this space. All you need to invite someone is an E-mail address.

I could use one of those to plan an event, but there's no way that I can force people to use them to invite me to and event they're planning instead of Facebook. If they choose to use Facebook, I'm not getting an invite unless I have a Facebook account.

My solution to that problem is to leave up a vestigial Facebook account that I never use and very obviously communicates that I no longer use the site. It contributes to the impression that Facebook use declining and ensures I won't miss anything.

I haven't had any of those problems in the last decade.

I have, however, spent a whole day trying to install Windows 10 because of obscure "can't find drivers message" which turned out really meant "you should unplug your install usb and replug it into a different usb port and then I can find the drivers on it".

Or trying to work with students on a Swift project, only to find out that the MacOS file system pretends to understand Unicode file names, but really ignores them.
Agree. I see also way too many NYtimes articles on HN recently. What happened to the adage that "if its on the popular media, it should probably not be on HN". Is HN turning into the comment system of the NYT?
The same could be said for operating systems, yet Windows 10 ships with lots of bloatware apps (Candy Crush...).

Also, a browser can track your browsing behavior, data that can be sold.

There's a lot of debate over whether FIFA is viable as an eSport game for that reason (plus other issues like defence being largely controlled by AI and an array of RNG effects and gameplay glitches, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/94iwmo/esports_ready_...). It'll be interesting to see if/how FIFA 19 addresses this as even amongst some FIFA players, the idea of it being eSports worthy is laughable: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/99zcag/fifa_esports_n...

Your comment about Tor being blocked by your employer has nothing to do with this discussion.
There is definitely room for competition in this space. We use Readme.io and find the pricing a little ridiculous. $100\month for the lowest tier plan. How complex is this product really?

Also, one minor thing that really gets to me is they get to watermark all of your docs with their logo. Like that $100\month is doing you a big favor so you have to pay them back with free advertising.
Most people have no idea I'm 41, and instead think I'm in my 30s. Balding and grey hair show I'm not in my 20s ;) My 'secret' is I workout every single day. I might do heavy weight training, sled pushing, surfing, or a spin class. It doesn't matter as long as I do something physically challenging. I also follow an 80/20 rule on eating paleo-ish. Mainly I try to avoid processed foods, but I'll still eat a pizza or good sandwich - just not all the time. Most meals consist of meat/dairy and veggies.

If I'm fortunate enough to live into old age, I don't plan to stop exercising. It's part of what gets me out of bed every morning.

Meh. Self discipline is very much a learned skill. I've seen plenty of high school age who have as much self discipline as your average middle age adult and vise versa. I think whether or not you have good personal responsibility at 18 depends a lot on whether you're given chances to build that skill from age 10-18 or so. People tend to mostly try to meet the expectations of society and society doesn't expect much from 18yos.
Gradle plugin to generate the jOOQ metamodel using a dockerized database
It doesn't matter how much value Word delivers when Libreoffice Writer delivers more, for less (zero) cost. For most people, Writer is enough, and so they won't buy Word. Its just free market and competition working the way it should.

Can you cite some sources to back that up?
I upvoted you. I had tried to reply, but was throttled.

The trouble with facts is they keep changing.

It takes a lot time for the latest clinical results to become mainstream. My doctor is OCD about staying current. Think Dr Rhonda Patrick meets Dr Terry Wahls meets Tim Ferriss meets Dr Atul Gawanda.

I'm still alive because of research, experimental treatments (seattlecca.org, fredhutch.org). I try a lot of things that others shouldn't. With mixed results.

The upside is future patients benefit from my experiences.

Thanks for the link. I'll consult my doctor.
I would be really skeptical of this; people have argued for decades that mobile phone levels of radiation are harmful, with no real evidence.
Had everyone in Vanessa's life had stable employment opportunities and the ability to pursue them, then I would imagine that her mother's and father's lives would have been radically different and her situation would be far less pernicious. The point of employment-focused poverty alleviation is not just that individuals having jobs is good, it's that material stability has powerful network effects that are not zero-sum and reinforce themselves over multiple generations.
Hello! I wrote a little Gradle plugin to simplify the generation of jOOQ metamodel files using a dockerized database. Maybe somebody else finds it useful too! Let me know what you think.

How could that be the case if they hold more energy or are more dense? It's just physics.

I wasn't saying they couldn't work, just that if they did fail they'd have the potential to fail spectacularly. Same is true for a gasoline tank.

Lol, freudian slip?

You didn't post any causal explanation, just correlation.

Assuming the correlation was significant, maybe low magnetic fields along the radar are responsible, or transient spikes, high frequency (dys-)harmonics - because it says "pulsed" but I don't know whether it means square pulse or rather probably not.

The point is that a sufficiently large part of the value of education is a non-excludable public good - i.e. it has huge collective benefits for society as a whole - that if you privatised the education system it would be extremely injurious to everyone. Of course, education also gives people, if you want to use that language, a certain amount of 'human capital' which tends towards a higher earning potential. But it is because so much of the value of education is a public good that it's misvalued, and necessarily so under capitalism.

Also: "If someone is doing something of value without profiting personally, the next question about that activity is "what info am I missing about how they profit?".

As someone else mentioned, this is frighteningly sociopathic. But it's also ideologically blinkered. It's an elementary fact of anthropology that human societies for most of history have lived on a communal basis without property. People act from personal profit because of the structure and cultural sediment of capitalism, not because humans are inherently selfish.

If a person is poor, and they still think sparing an hour watching a Ivy League university lecture(that can vastly increase their opportunity range) isn't worth your time, they have far bigger problems related to entitlement.

And there they have a choice. Which opportunity is more important to one's life?

> You know, good design principles weren't invented in 2006. There was plenty of good design in the 90s in other industries (publishing, newspapers, magazines, advertising, academia, ...), but apparently fucking nothing of that filtered down to webdesign.

Actually, when computers started to be used for these things, a lot of traditional media went nuts and threw out their design principles in order to take advantage of new technology.

Remind me when I get home from work tonight, and I can upload some scans of what happened to Marvel Comics letters pages, trade dress, house ads, credits/title pages, and even in some cases dialogue lettering, when they switched over to digital typesetting and color separations in late 1994/early 1995. Splashes of color and awful CGI artwork everywhere. In 1997, they switched to a retro-looking style that pulled back on most of the excesses... but it was still really gaudy compared to early 1994, and it wasn't until the 21st century that they remembered there are principles to good design.

Edit: Actually, I can show you what happened to the trade dresses now, since cover scans are widely available. Images are grabbed from https://www.mycomicshop.com

The cover of Uncanny X-Men #315, released in June 1994 (comics are dated two months in advance). Fairly tasteful trade dress. https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/639727.jpg

The cover of Uncanny X-Men #322, released in May 1995. Look at that CGI X! (Edit: And the teaser lettering looks like WordArt!) But they're not done experimenting yet. It gets worse. https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/861739.jpg

The cover of Uncanny X-Men #332, released March 1996. This is peak mid-90s gaudy. https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/865533.jpg

And if you're wondering what other comics, that didn't have a recognizable symbol made out of simple shapes, used... well, let's have a look at Incredible Hulk #442, released April 1996. Yep, it's a CGI atom. https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/865365.jpg

Or Amazing Spider-Man #411, released March 1996. Three dimensional Spider-Man mask! https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/882953.jpg

(and if you think these are bad, you should see the interiors)

But things got better, right? Well, here's Uncanny X-Men #346, released June 1997, the first month of Marvel's retro look. It's like they wanted to return to the mid-1994 look but didn't quite remember how anymore. https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/844811.jpg

All you need is a privacy policy and the ability to delete / return customer data when requested. But that doesn't have to be in real time/automated, you can just set up an email address and respond manually. It's rare you'll even get a request if you're a company with such a small IT budget.

All the other things (double opt-in email, not contacting your customers in an unsolicited way) are process changes that can be implemented without IT cost.

I recently tried to install antergos which is basically arch.

Graphics drivers didnt work during install, no big deal, I'll just use text mode. Except the text mode didnt work either for some reason. To fix the issue I would have had to compile my own image, or to trust some random guy on github that he didnt put a rootkit in his installer.

There are definitely annoyances like these which you dont have on windows/mac. You dont need to be a good programmer/hacker to fix issues like this, yet on linux, you sometimes do.

While I really love linux and its distributions, you cant expect endusers to run them without big issues
