> AFAIK, telling people this isn't effective, so it can really only serve to make yourself feel superior, not really effect change (since I'm assuming you consider yourself to already follow this advice)

I don't see how any of that follows. You can either a) leave the net of Google by switching browsers, going back to flip phones, going to Apple, etc, or b) say that the cost is worth your inertia.

As for not being effective, please look at Unions (non-government means to counter corporate power). Look at the black community before the Democrats got a hold of them. Harlem had its problems, but was the seat for art and culture that still benefits humanity to this day.

> Are you really so sure of your views that you feel that those you disagree with must be less mature than you?

Yes. The people that hold the view that papa Government will fix everything are thinking emotively like a child. Reagan, for all his flaws, was right: "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." The EU is going to crush, either through GDPR or the new copyright tracking system all startups in the tech area until the tech companies bootstrap without ads. Maybe this is ultimately good, but it would be a side effect of the regulation, not the government's wisdom.

> You may well already do this, but to actually achieve only being tracked while actively using Maps, I believe you'd have to turn location services on and off each time you use Maps, otherwise Google is tracking you all the time, not just when Maps is open. Assuming an Android device, I'm less sure about how this would play out on iOS.

If you're a good citizen of the world you should turn off location to save on greenhouse gases. Android is terrible at efficiency with those on. They should lock out when not directly used by an application.

> If everyone was similar to you in these regards, there wouldn't be an issue, but people's awareness of the issues, skills, and values are hugely variable across a population. So while it's worthless handwringing to you, people who hold different values could (and do) disagree.

So because there are dumb and or lazy people, the EU needs to attempt another centrally plan attempt at controlling the evolution of the species? Are we going to get State monitors for using the toilet correctly? Think about how many diseases are from improper flushing and wiping. How about a bathroom monitor that's armed with a stun gun to make sure people wash their hands?
Youtube isn't really providing a necessity, it's providing an entertainment option.

I think you'd be surprised at the reach of educational resources like Khan Academy and MIT's Open Courseware. These things aren't 'necessities' only if you don't consider it important to educate yourself.
Neat idea to use WebRTC. Do I understand it correctly therefore no central server is involved?

I was once in need to stream my shell to some colleges and so I hacked together a tiny shellscript http://liveshell.43z.one/ which should work on most Linux systems without installing any dependencies.
God it is easy and convenient being American/english speaker. Cue old joke:

"bilingual" is someone who speaks two languages, "trilingual" is someone who speaks three languages. What do you call someone who can only speak one language? An American.
You should probably try their third world app version: Google Maps Go Edition. (See e.g. https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/02/google-maps-go-editi...)

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it’s clarity. I guess I’d be better served through a PhD program anyway, for the doors opened when it comes to publishing etc
> one would assume some species capable of this technology would also have cultural norms about not interfering with less developed groups

I would assume nothing of the sort. It's not as if humans even really conform to that norm. It's a pretty recent trend, at best. With aliens of unknown evolution/history, all bets are off.
The oil of these nations is extremely valuable for the US not to consume them but to acquire exploration rights with ridiculous terms, generating a huge amount of revenue, propping the US economy up keeping up the American dream.

The US has Saudi Arabia and the gulf countries on it's side, Libya in shambles, Venezuela and Iran isolated. That gives the US a lot of power on the energy market.

So there it is, control over oil = money + power.

What else people start wars for?
See "Stakhanovite movement", the USSR's version from the 1930s. This is not a new idea. Or a good one. Even the USSR dumped it.
The more I learn about modern history and current politics the more I realize that modern society is greatly harmed by the worshipful study of past warmongering despots.

A lot of the seemingly irrational and idiotic decisions taken by modern western politicians can perhaps be explained by the fact that they worshiped julius ceaser, alexander the great, napoleon, etc. at young impressionable age.

So sure we should study napoleon, but lets not worship him. In my opinion Napoleon is best remembered as part of the retreat from moscow. His army just a massive mob of running, freezing, starving men tripping along a snow covered path littered with frozen corpses and gold and silver and silk that they stole and realized they couldn't carry home. The great emperor abandoning his army and running quickly away on a fast sled, because he was already facing a coup at home.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but registries can't let single registrars have exclusive access to TLDs. If Alphabet/Google were to do this it would be antitrust, and they could lose their dual registry/registrar status.
Saw this GaryV video where he was saying how he told a caller to 'eat shit' for the next 3 years, and he was proud of his advice to the caller.

A woman called in saying she was working three jobs where one was her main income, and she had 2 side opportunities. Her basic question was which one to pick. He told her 'eat shit' for the next couple years and take no vacations, just completely grind out her existence and nothing else.

The guy is seriously a maniac recommending this approach. He doesn't consider at all the risk of burnout, and how a real burnout can set you back so far. There's zero balance to his approach. I've also found it amusing there is no talk of what you should do when you retire or get the money you are aiming for.
And it's not going to get very far before the nuclear option gets trotted out. What good is an invasion force if the other side feels threatened enough to start nuclear retaliation?
Jokes on them, I keep the Echo in the bathroom because I mainly use it to sing in the shower. So they can listen to me shit and sing “Call me Maybe”.
The fact that Youtube works on a blacklist is a choice of their own. It's still them hosting and publishing the videos.

I am a fan of the DMCA approach for this problem, but saying that Youtube's business model doesn't work with this rule is... kinda the point? It defnitely would be the point for sites like Megaupload
I dunno if the comparison is quite right, at least shovels were actually useful in the gold rush.

Ultimately its peddling false hope with just enough of an inkling of truth to not be downright fraud. Like peddling health elixirs, magic diets, or the casino's w/l rate. It will get worse as income inequality (and desparation) grows.
I'm worried. A big war could easily start partly by accident. A confrontation in the South China Sea or a move by Russia against Estonia could set off a major war. Look what started WWI.

No, it wouldn't start anything more than a regional conflict à la the Seven Days' War or any of the other several Arab-Israeli conflicts of the past 70 years.

World War I did not start because Austria had a legitimate grievance against Serbia that it was determined to settle with military force. It started because France, Germany, and Russia were all willing, maybe even eager, to go to war and the putative Third Balkan War in as many years was an opportunity to do so. When the leaders of Germany and Russia started getting cold feet and asked about partial mobilization as an alternative option, the military commands were shocked and worked assiduously to convince them that there was no alternative to complete war. In stark contrast stands the Cuban Missile Crisis, where Kennedy and Khrushchev both ignored their military commands' pleas for war and sought to find alternatives to war.

The ingredients for global war are international disputes irreconcilable except for war; a conflict that can serve as a flashpoint to rapidly bring in these wide international disputes; and you need leaders who can continue to escalate the war, knowing all the consequences it might entail. The Middle East simply lacks strategic importance to make two major power blocs go to global war in support of their local allies in a localized conflict.

Yup, just did it. I had to run over it a few times and transcribe it to catch what they were saying. Even then, there are still some bits I could not comprehend though. Wonder if Amazon/Google Transcribe can do a better job?
This is cynicism. The original poster's complaints are not cynicism -- they are legitimate dissatisfaction and unhappiness with exploitation and manipulation. Legitimate
dissatisfaction turns to cynicism when its sufferer concludes that some human relations are exploitative, so they all must be. The cure for cynicism is to recognize that it is still possible to make connections that are not exploitative and manipulative, and to seek out and nourish those.

(I realize this comment might have been intended as a joke, but this sort of bitter humor is often a symptom of real cynicism.)
Unless they have invented some kind of magic compression then I can. The Echo either sends nothing or tiny pings. If they’ve invented some kind of subspace coms channel that can stream an hour of voice over 12kb, then props.
There's plenty of extreme harassment, attacks, and "shouting down" coming from the right in response to any ideological disagreement from the left. Worse, explicit calls to violence (that have been answered) and encouragement of hatred from people all the way up and down the chain, from anonymous internet posters to the president. I'm not saying this is worse than the equivalent from the left, but to say it's not there is naive. Additionally, as far as I can tell, nearly all of the major instances of deplatforming of "the right" have really been deplatforming of meaningless hateful garbage or calls to violence that violate terms of service, but have been framed as attacks on the right, which seems like a really awful mischaracterization of the right.
> He told her 'eat shit' for the next couple years and take no vacations

I did this for three years. It sucks, and my god is it a roll of the dice with your health, wealth and happiness. But for me, at the time, the risk of breaking was worth the chance at stability and autonomy.

It’s terrible universal advice. But if wealth and power matter to you; and you diligently save, take sensible risks, and remain health- and mental-health-wise grounded, it can skip you up quickly. (Important, for me: having friends I could spend evenings with, eating macaroni and drinking cheap wine. Also, don’t do this if you haven’t found product-market fit.)
Probably an issue with the actual scanning service. web.dev itself gets the same error.
The Dutch had a trading post in Japan during the Edo Period.

Before that they had regular trade with the Portuguese starting in the 16th century.

The Japanese didn't have guns for the exact same reason Amish still use Kerosene lamps.

Since most porn is produced and consumed digitally (I assume - it's not something I pay attention to), in an apocalypse I doubt it would be a viable commodity. Any apocalypse worth its salt takes down the grid.

Prostitution would likely increase, though.

I'll add salt to your list as well.
yeah, not sure you're that familiar with the site this is posted on. Its an anarchist blog/forum that makes exactly zero dollars from advertising. Not sure there's anything I can say that would change or effect the idea that somehow these peoples suffering is something to be sneered at or simply dismissed.

The problem is we compare the worst of our lives to the best of other people's lives - be it our body, wealth, health, personality, travel, well-readness, intelligence etc etc. No one has every area of their life in order, there's just not enough time in a day!

This Hustle Porn is just one area where people can be led astray, and they all come back to this same principal of belief that there are people who have everything together.

A more generalised solution is simply to compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today.
Readability is subjective. There's no universal notion of "readability". Code that looks perfectly fine to one person, might looks like pure gobbledy-gook to the other. It's important to recognize that, whenever we're talking about "code readability".
It’s worse than that. This kind of pressure leads to ethical lapses and outright corruption.

Hustle is fine. The requirement to give 110% at every moment of every day to succeed means, anyone with two neurons to rub together will just cheat. Not hard to find conspirators when everyone is in the same situation.
Everyone is different, not everyone care about the impact on anyone else. For these people they don't need to take this into account. To you this might seem to be utterly sad, but to them "sad" might not even register. For them not be able to do highly unusual and risky action is probably their definiton of true sadness. For this people, the only thing you can do is to support them.
Alternative explanation: they're everywhere and all around us, but once in a while, they forget to turn the headlights off
I like the Zoo hypothesis. We do that to North Sentinel Island[1]. It is populated by 50-400 stone age tribes people. India does not prosecute them for murdering anyone who happens to land on their island. Previous contacts with these people led to them rapidly dying of diseases they didn't have immunity to, so staying uncontacted is literally a life or death issue for them.

If only all companies did this, maybe we could influence our government the same way malicious special interests do right now. There would finally be representation.

Exactly.

Wake me up when Gary does a video on unit economics. Or cohort analysis. Or CAC/LTV. Or literally anything to do with business other than the idea that regardless of how unfit you are, how unsuitable your idea is, or how damaging the attempt will be on your personal finances or health, hustle is all you need.

The winds are increasing against him. It's going to be interesting to watch him flip and suddenly preach realism, once he calculates that his adoring masses are going to appreciate that message more on the basis of his "authenticity". (And I wish I could use about fifteen more air-quotes around that word.)
Serde offers more out of the box functionality with its annotations, but it's also bit uglier than Swift's Codable when you do need to implement it yourself.

If it wasn't for a blog post that gave some simple examples, I couldn't even figure it out myself.

Possibly not fair to compare them this way, though. No clue what the trade-offs are.
There was an article discussed here on HN a few weeks back about "hustle culture" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18381605) that encapsulated the trend in the ad industry, but this could apply in tech startups or many other businesses as well:

To be clear, hustle isn’t just hard work — it’s showing that you’re working hard. It’s Instagram posts about how much you have to travel for work, it’s LinkedIn and Medium memos about how if you’re not working yourself to the bone you’re not doing enough. It also smacks a little bit of “work at all costs.” And if you’re not struggling, you’re probably not working hard enough.

Sadly, this has been going on for years, even before social media gave it an outlet for fetishization. Accelerators like Y Combinator and TechStars as well as VC and angel communities are a big part of the problem, emphasizing questionable demonstrations of "progress" as a condition for getting into the program and getting attention from investors like Gary V. I've seen it in graduate business programs, too, thanks to lecturers drawn from the investor class and academics who push students to learn how to appeal to them.

Some call it "startup theater," but "hustle porn" works, too.
That seems to be a pretty good example of the hysterical position of the radical left. Checks all the emotional boxes: People of color, law enforcement, refugees, children, and the perennial favorite boogeymen: racists, and now white supremacists. (You forgot "literal Nazis.") Even down to putting quotes around 'side' - presumably to punctuate your point that those who disagree with you don't have a legitimate perspective.

The right has plenty of problems (plenty!) but the what seems to be unique to the left (or at least much more prevalent/vocal) is this Sith-like perspective that anyone who disagrees (or even just agrees less than 110%) is some kind of immoral/evil opponent for whom no type or amount of righteous retaliation is undeserved.

But of course that might just be be how it looks from the perspective of a "smug, ignorant centris[t]."

I was surprised to read that some versions of cat (apparently BSD Net/2 and derivatives) have special code for sockets. What does cat do with sockets!?

Well, AF_UNIX sockets are sockets with paths in the filesystem. You must either connect() to them or bind() to them instead of open()ing them. Apparently, BSD-derived versions of cat will try to connect() to to a file if open() fails.

With GNU cat, if you try to cat a socket, it will go like this:

$ ls -l test.sock
srwxr-xr-x 1 luke users 0 Nov 12 21:07 test.sock
$ cat test.sock
cat: test.sock: No such device or address

but BSD-derived cats will successfully open the socket for reading. That behavior can be accomplished on other systems by using socat instead; BSD cat behaves somewhat like:

$ socat UNIX:test.sock STDOUT

While I appreciate the sentiment of this post, I'd like to see some real stats on "hustle porn" culture's effects. My impression is that the author is pitching doom and gloom where there might be only a small - and increasingly diminishing - problem.

I'm not constantly peppered by this phenomenon on my feeds. In fact, lately I've been find more of the opposite: the growing culture of valuing 8 hours of sleep, mental health, and the like. This trend seems to be especially strong in the world of entrepreneurs. YC's Startup School had a talk on "How To Win" [1] - all about how to stay sane and healthy as a founder. Podcasts like ZenFounder [2] are teaching more of the same and building up that field. And I haven't even read it yet, but the popularity of books like It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work [3] represent a growing movement of successful people - who I'd say still work quite hard - that avoid these pitfalls and are very loud in teaching others how to do the same.

I'm sure, as the author suggests, there're people who take all the motivational talk to an extreme. But there's an alternative that I hope many of us are following: don't just blindly work hard - because working hard is important - but work smart, too.

I wonder if there's any plans for peer discovery, at least locally.

I guess that's where your central server comes in - even in a perfect scenario where there's no NAT between peers.
This isn't anything new - it's why ABBA sang in English. It's why most Eurovision songs are in English. If you can speak it, why would you limit your audience with a smaller language?
Thats a great point, and quite possibly how the next war would be fought. I picture some Fight Club esque scenario where all the banks get wiped out. Not from bombs, more from a cyber point of view, but could you imagine the loss of faith even a smallish attack could cause. FUD is a heavy hitter in wars.

Again, success isn't measured by marketshare, but profitability and growth. Vimeo has 15% of the embedded market by domain, and has managed to be profitable.
