For myself, the only thing I can say is that, while totally interested in the article, I haven't yet had the time to sit and read it. I did skim over it, and it seems very worth the time that it'll take me to read it.

I also noticed nobody was commenting -- and I certainly hoped someone would, perhaps to point me to similar resources, or related content.
I don't know. I have never seen anyone buying more coca cola on a weekend than i would be able to afford with my salary.

I have seen people putting shit ton of money into those machines and they lost easily 100,- Euros per Hour?

I'm sure there is always a white/gray/black thing going on but i do put a slot machine at the very end of black not in gray or white at all.

Coca Cola and the water stealing and the addiction is btw. an additional example for something not that good, it does not make a slot machine any better.
There are no electronics in #6. That's just a piece of paper sliding back and forth over another piece of paper.
I still prefer my book's history of Git in which I compare Linus rejection of Monotone to the movie "Back to the Future":

Comcast’s gigabyte internet still has a 1TB data cap. So while the bandwidth might be available, you’ll quickly cap out and the overage charges can get as high as $200 a month. the ‘unlimited’ data plan is very expensive as well
Not discounting the benefits or organic food, but this specific study isn't very useful: there's certainly a correlation between eating organics and lower cancer rates, but there are too many other plausible variables (ie people who buy organics are more healthy in general: exercise more, have more disposable income (therefore higher quality of life), are more mindful of other environmental problems, etc).

What would actually be interesting is a double blind study: a group of people get a weekly box of unbranded vegetables, either organic or regular, then track health/cancer rates/whatever.
This happened later than the dates in Wikipedia for some of the outer neighborhoods of the time. A visible legacy today in those neighborhoods is vaulted sidewalks and entries, making houses appear shorter than they actually are.

> But it takes a lot of time and effort to filter the content your child consumes.

It really doesn't if you use the tools available.

For instance Amazon FreeTime (https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-FreeTime-Unlimited-Monthly-Sub...) gives you a curated library that is appropriate for the age range you set.

There's no microtransaction apps or other nonsense like that.

You can even set limits like "30 minutes app time per day", "30 minutes book time", "30 minutes video time", etc.

You can also remove or add specific apps you want your kid to have access to.

Honestly it's wonderful to give a young kid that level of autonomy and access to information. You should still pay attention to what they do. But there's no need to give them access to the open internet or to curate everything yourself.

Look for any 1999+ Toyota Carolla/Prism with under 200k. Many camary of that era are bulletproof. Civics all got bought up by ricers, but '3k civic' is literally a meme for being so common.
I’ve read the book on it, and I disagree. It’s certainly its own platform and you’ll have to deal with its ups and downs and learn its DSL.
Some kind of kerning or OCR error lead to the appearance of "modem mathmatics" several times in the article.

Can confirm... I am a 31 year old _data scientist_ who worked on these kind of algorithms, saw the metrics, and tweaked the algorithms to increase these metrics. I got addicted and it is harder to develop a healthy relationship with my phone/social media/youtube than it is with caffeine (I quit it!) or alcohol (I take a 1-2 month long break every year and rarely have more than 1 drink).
I've played mobile games where the option to pay just gets your through the game faster, and in my experience, if the game is any fun, why would I want to spend money to be able to play it less? But if people want that, I guess it's OK.

On the other hand, if the game requires endless grinding, and let's face it, a lot of these games are really just tedious work with a reward system built in, with little or no strategy or even decision making (beyond to play or not play), and you are literally paying to avoid drudgery. I've tried plenty of games where I soon realized it was nothing more than working towards a reward, and there was literally no "game" to it.

Well, if playing the game is drudgery, then it's not a good game. At this point, I would say the market should sort things out, but that doesn't appear to be working. People are clearly playing these games and getting hooked on them.

So, yeah, I agree with you... it's the Skinner box we need to discourage, but that's not always a black-and-white thing, because hard work and accomplishment, with the rewards that provide, are very similar in many ways. Ultimately, the Skinner box is an attempt to simulate the process of working hard to accomplish something and receiving the rewards for it without the whole "providing an engaging and challenging experience" aspect. It's exploiting a human instinct and subverting it in a harmful way.
Soon I will be returning to it (joining a company that extensively uses it) and really the argument i thought about making is why, but in reality I will be faced with a ..why not? I'm not sure i'm interested in fighting it either if it doesn't pose much a problem
1 million Uighurs = statistic. no media fallout or talk of not taking Chinese money or buying chinese goods or talks of companies not taking Chinese investment.

sad.
I am not saying it is a normal company. I agree what it has done is amazing. In my lifetime and before it many, many companies (Kaiser Steel!) tried to become viable auto manufacturers and almost all failed. Tesla did this and convinced everyone that electric cars were viable. That happened, which makes people interested in Tesla as they are interested in Apple, Amazon, etc.

I am saying there is a huge bias for news that is they are going bankrupt, they are killing people, they are going to destroy all other car companies.. etc. because that is what gets the clicks.
i'm white and i don't find it personally offensive. there is a certain set of risk-averse behaviors that seem ubiquitous among the white (upper) middle class. and maybe this is uncharitable of me, but i do actually think these people feel more virtuous because they do these things, or at least do them to signal virtue. when someone uses a phrase like "enlightened whiteness" or "SWPL", it seems there's a high chance that we both instantly picture the same loosely related set of things that would be hard to describe otherwise.
I said the statement reeks of bitterness and ignorance. It wasn't a wholesale description of you as a person. It's not black and white.

>Except for complaining about how wronged they've been by the system.

You're still operating off of stereotypes instead of actually talking about the people that live in these communities and the work they do.

>I'm more interested in how all the enlightened 'creatives' can engage with this boring grey techbro community.

I think the techbro community needs to be the one doing the engaging.
Because a lot of hedge funds make their money on volatility, not growth. They take advantage of the media's need to sell Fables rather than Facts, and jeopardy is an effective plot device.
Go to Europe and enjoy your stroll through the public streets of cities that were designed for walking. A pleasure :)
Some providers may add points to the spam score. Some corporate servers may block it.

You could always set up a small account with an email campaign provider and do a small test run with a "welcome to the service" email to see how many emails get through. This assumes your members have opted into email.

Your user-base may differ from the base others here have experience with, so real numbers are everything.
The content of that article makes a different claim than the headline. It's possible to spend time with a child without devoting time to child care, which is what the article specifically cites. This would be the case for family run farms, and up until very recently the majority of the world's population were farmers.
Solarized Dark is great. I use it and Inconsolata when coding. Highly recommend it. Zenburn is decent too, if you want something even darker.
Ask HN: How do we debug traffic in private network if everything is TLS
Hi all,

I have learn lot of tcpdump and love it. It is really handful when I need to debug something and ensure the payload is correct.

Yesterday I was about to debug fluentd/fluentbit and realize they use TLS so I cannot see the real payload. I understand the need of TLS.

However, I don't know how/which tool can help me to debug/mitm this traffic in a private network such as an AWS VPC.

You can't control your dopamine uptake, but you can certainly control your actions. Especially when you recognize what is happening.

If I see myself spending too much time on my phone, for instance, I'll put it away for a while.
Calling it "screen time" is missing the elephant in the room. The largest part of the problem is that the software we're directly interacting with has been designed by companies with interests directly contrary to ours!

Social interaction will inherently set off more chemical rewards, but it is the tuning of the feedback loop (optimizing for micro-interactions) that keeps us glued.

Emacs/mutt/libreoffice/python/kodi have not been adversarily tuned to fire off the reward centers of our brains just enough to keep us returning for more. Whereas on the same exact screen, firefox/chromium are gateways to madness.
You're going to find that for workloads that require churning through requests, or something similar, that Go or Rust or something similar is simply better. Elixir/Erlang is mostly good for dealing with a lot of persistent state, staying up and running, and reliably getting data from point A to point B. But none of those it does particularly fast, unless you can do it without needing to mutate a data structure/variable, or you can take advantage of the fast binary pattern matching.
New Study: Antipsychotics given to millions of delirious patients do nothing
Yuval Harari keeps saying this, that we live in a time where the systems know our weaknesses better then we know them ourselves.
> But I've played some games. I am 137% confident that some form of "level up" ... is an extremely strong addiction factor.

Try playing more unsuccessful games. You'll find that most boring, unaddictive, terrible games that you'll never play more than once have the same leveling up mechanic.
> For an illustration: a typical local shop is going put the effort into making sure its information is correct on Google Maps and that their website is indexed on Google; but it's going to put zero effort into updating its info on OpenStreetMap or making sure it's indexed by Bing. If you want info about that shop, you're probably going to have to use Google.

That's a great example, thanks for mentioning it. I'll probably use it from now on.
As far as I can tell, all GPS devices get whacky on Lower Wacker.
Yes, condescending is it. Somehow two translation services could not give me the word, but it's indeed the one I'm looking for.
If OP's mail was hacked, the attacker wouldn't have needed to use a confusingly-similar email address ("abicde@mydomain.com" instead of "abcde@mydomain.com"). They could have used OP's actual address.
That is pretty close to how I think too. I also rarely commit things to memory which are easily referencable, which is annoying.
The same people that buy organic peas also have a paranoia about screens. How unsurprising.

The article doesn't say there has been any peer-reviewed research to show a little screen time is harmful. It just says, oh, check it out, here is a grab bag of assholes, we picked out of a population of like 1 Million engineers, and THEY DONT LET THEIR KIDS USE SCREENS.

Well guess what. I was a video game engineer for 10 years. Now I work in a different area of tech. My wife works for a giant tech company too. We let our 2 year old watch cartoons on Netflix on Sunday mornings. She loves it. We think its cute, because we used to watch Sunday morning cartoons as kids ourselves. She's one of the most advanced kids in her daycare. She can recite the alphabet, count to ten, and speaks full sentences, and tells stories in class. The teachers say she is doing really well.

Whoopity doooo. So what if she knows how to use an iPad.

Please. Stop treating Facebook engineers like they are special snowflakes that know about everything because they wrote some javascript and html that runs a social networking website.
I'm not a lawyer, but is that really true?

I could see the instance of an ex-employee that still can login can enter into contracts on your company's behalf, but a hacker doing so gets the same protections (for lack of a better word)?

That seems very wrong to me. I'm sure it makes things harder to determine the actual issue, but I just don't believe that a judge would look at this and conclude that fraud is ok as long as it comes from your email address...

(ignoring issues like gross negligence where a company is doing significantly less to secure their systems than should be expected)
I'm not saying the BD rips aren't bigger, just that they're nowhere near as much bigger as the resolution and quality improvements might suggest. So BD averages maybe 2.5 GB, and DVD averages maybe 1.5 GB, while a BD frame has nearly 7 times as many pixels.

I do set CQ a couple of stops higher for DVD, as per Handbrake recommendations, just because DVD has to get enlarged so much when watching fullscreen.

Older games like Diablo were not engineered to maximize Day 1 / 7 / 28 retention rates. All mobile games today optimize for those metrics.
You're right, I don't think it's as physically addictive as chemical compounds can be. But the time wasting is a very easy hole for me to fall into (he said, arguing with people in HN comments :P).

It's not the end of the world, if I end up having problems with it on my next bigger phone I'm more than capable of deleting the problematic apps. I've already done that with Facebook on my SE.

Even so, I'm also not excited about the ever climbing costs for new "upgrades" that I don't want. SE was a great size and had the top of the line camera from the 6s. Now if I want the smallest screen and the best camera, the price went from $400 to $1000. Welp.

How US serial bombers and mail attackers get caught
That’s highly doubtful.

I think it would maybe be arguable if someone actually hacked the OP’s account and the emails really did come from their outbox, but spoofed email is a different thing entirely.

It seems more equivalent as a legal precedent to someone sending a forged letter from a nonexistent employee on similar looking letterhead. Or maybe someone showing up at the door and collecting payment wearing a stolen or counterfeit uniform.

If you think of it in legal terms, in a lawsuit say, the client would have to acknowledge the existence of a contract and an obligation to pay the supplier, and then somehow make an argument that a spoofed email from a third party that the supplier had no awareness of, that never entered the posession or control of the supplier at all, somehow invalidates that contract, or proves that the client has satisfied their obligation.

That’s quite a stretch.

Arguing negligence on the part of the supplier still wouldn’t do anything to satisfy the payment obligation, at best it would seem to be a counter-claim, saying they they suffered a loss because of the suppliers negligence, but then that’s a separate tort and the burden of proof would be on them.
You absolutely can. If everyone in a neighborhood tossed dollar bills on the street cause they didn't like carrying anything smaller than a five, it would make sense to both make a living picking them up and say "why the hell are they doing this?".
I've found this online course by Paolo Perrotta to be the best introduction to Git's architecture, by far: https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/how-git-works

He takes you pretty much from first principles all the way up to how remote repositories are tracked. Its been far more useful to me than simply trying to learn the CLI.

I realize its behind a paywall, but I'd recommend signing up for the free trial just to watch this course (if you're curious about the inner workings of Git).
I suppose I should add: this operation is so common that I’m surprised it’s not part of the language or the standard library.
Chicago also has alleys all over, so there's not garbage piled up on the sidewalks and garbage trucks are less of a nuissance for traffic.
I tried both and I think in the future I'm going to going back to server-side templating.

One thing I found hard with client-side rendering is duplicated logic/model in client/server. Say I add a field to database, I added it to model on server. Nows I have to do it on the client.

Granted We can use code generation or tool like Protobuf etc but the fact remain that the rendering logic is somewhere else.

Plus I have to hack a lot for client side rendering if we don't want to use `#` trick.

So I feel I'm going backward but prolly I will started to do more with serverside templating
I've always thought (probably because I'm not that smart) that REPL really should have been coined as REPR instead.

Though I guess that wouldn't be valid lisp if you tried to express it literally.
Using “they” in the manner he describes, and gives examples of, is indeed wrong. But that does not mean that it’s bad, it only means that using “they” is not a drop-in replacement for traditional gendered pronouns. Using “they”, you simply have to construct your sentences so as to avoid any ambiguity.

English speakers managed this transition once before with the abandonment of “thou” – many sentences which were previously comprehensible with “thou” would be unclear or downright misleading if “thou” were simply replaced with “you”. But the modern speaker has no problems with using only “you”. Why? It’s because they are aware of the ambiguity and structure their sentences accordingly.

Don’t simply treat “they” as a drop-in replacement, just use it, and get used to writing a bit differently. Yes, it’s a slightly different language that what you were used to. Languages change.
This is even the officially-documented way to turn your 32-bit 9front install into a 64-bit 9front install, IIRC from doing this exact thing when I installed 9front on an old laptop of mine.
This is one of the things I dislike most about modern games: We used to have cheat codes in single player games which allowed you to skip the BS and have a different kind of fun. Now, we have money that does the same thing.

As a result, new games not only tend not to support cheats, but they also treat the users as hostile, preventing even things like memory read hacks and config file edits. Some of the most fun I've had was editing lua config files to modify how units moved in single player games like Command and Conquer Generals, to change the game entirely.

User hostile, anti-hacky, 'skinner-box-or-nothing' design in single player gaming is only a symptom of the problem, but it's a nasty one.
That's what TLS is for - To stop you from doing what you want to do.

Check if the code running on your machine has a way to store the session keys somewhere so you can decrypt the TLS traffic later.
Yes, I think one of the keys to improving life for kids and teens is to stop trying to force them into an adult schedule. Their needs differ from those of adults in several other ways, so why wouldn’t that apply to their sleep cycles as well?

> My generation grew up with TV shows like The Transformers that got kids to beg their parents for toys.

But the addiction component wasn't built-in the way it is now. Everyone remembers "Saturday morning cartoons with cereal" because there was a set time and place for that event. After the episode ended, it didn't auto-play the next episode, or recommend 5 highly similar shows based on your "viewing history".

Consider that "bingeing" is a commonly accepted term when it refers to consuming an entire season of a show in one sitting and companies like Netflix churn out TV shows with a focus on this "bingeability", because that's their differentiator compared to regular TV.
I played Candy Crush for a while a few years ago. It's a fundamentally fun game, and the trap is that every once in a while I'd hit a level that I couldn't get past ( at least without being really, really lucky). So you I'd paid to get past it and move on to more fun. I spent maybe about $5 on it before ultimately getting tired of it. My rationalization was the game was legitimately fun and I didn't mind throwing the developers a little money for providing a decent little game.

But I've seen so many similar games where the game itself wasn't fun at all, even though the rewards were still enticing. The Simpsons Tapped Out comes to mind. And in those cases I realized the game play itself wasn't interesting or fun and quickly quit. Basically, any game that has timers in it will fall into this category because the timers are there solely to make sure you keep coming back and have a compelling reason to do it often.
That only works if you're shooting RAW. And even then all you've accomplished was a convoluted process to achieve the exact same thing you'd get in Lightroom by adjusting the Blacks and Whites sliders, and dragging the ranges horizontally in the histogram.
Or they could just be present in the actual social situation they were attending. All of the options you suggest seem preferable to staring at a random glowing magic square in their hands.
NDAs tend to be a straightforward type of document with limited scope and a fairly well-known universe of issues. So having a computer program parse the document and itemize issues seems like a good idea.

But what does it mean that the AI “beat” the humans? That the program simply spotted the issues and listed them faster and more completely than the lawyers? Not that impressive a victory. It’s how the issues get resolved that are important.

Did the AI interact with a lawyer on the other side and get issues resolved? Not likely, but the story doesn’t tell us exactly what the test consisted of and how “victory” was determined. (It is possible to download the 40-page report and analyze it, but I am not willing to spend the time to do that, and I bet most commenters, like me, are just responding to the headline take-away.)

While AI can be a great tool, one of the problems with it is that often no one knows how the program makes decisions. Not knowing what you don’t know can present serious blind spots. For example, it may be possible for a counter-party to a transaction who has access to the same AI as you to construct a document with text containing an issue that the AI won’t spot but that the counter-party planted in the document for his or her advantage. If the document is reviewed only by AI (and given a cursory review by a bored low-paid worker who expects AI to catch all the issues), then there is an open back door to your legal castle.

Computers haven’t put accountants out of business, and they won’t put lawyers out of business either. They will make lawyers more efficient, but whether that translates into lower fees remains to be seen.
Sometimes I think the idea that we live in a simulation is preposterous...and then I see things like this, and wonder.
