Meditations on Moloch is one of the best texts I have ever read, bordering on a spiritual experience. And it left me with an even more pessimistic view of the universe... http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

Obviously it depends what you do with it. A 1.5tb HDD can fill up on a week under some use cases, so it is silly to mention that yours fills up. The fact that some people can use it and it doesn't full up means it is still a viable option.

I'd recommend reading Bernard Stiegler, a French philosopher whose work has yet to been translated to English though (as I just discovered). I think this English interview might be a good introduction: http://krisis.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/krisis-2011-1-05....

Note that he often gets political but it's really worth it though if you're interested in the way technology is being designed and adopted by mankind (he's also focused on the Anthropocene but that's another topic). His annual conferences at Pompidou Centre / IRI (specially the ones about IA – https://enmi-conf.org/wp/enmi18/, in French unfortunately). I'd recommend his seminaries on philosophy (via his School of philosophy http://pharmakon.fr/wordpress/le-projet/the-school-of-philos... and via the Ars Industrialis non-profit) but they aren't yet translated. Again, sorry for that.

You guys may find this talk of interest:

https://academy.realm.io/posts/altconf-josh-michaels-depreca...

Description at the link:
"It’s every Apple developers worst nightmare. Your app is doing well, business is going fine, then all of a sudden BAM! Something changes in Apple’s world and suddenly everything is at risk. Sometimes it’s as simple as Apple deprecating an API you depend on. Other times it’s a policy matter - a change in rules that has Apple requesting that you change or remove your app from the store. Sometimes it is a bug in the platform which you have to hack a creative workaround for. No matter what the specifics, developers should be prepared to handle that day when Apple pulls the rug out. After more than six years of working on apps in Apple’s land I’ve had more than my fair share of these experiences. In this talk I will go through four different examples from multiple developers covering the most common situations in which changes in Apple land can disrupt your app. Through these stories I will offer best practices for handling these difficult situations from how to interact with Apple to how to deal with the gripping frustration that can come along with these challenges. The goal of this talk is to better prepare attendees for that inevitable day when something goes wrong and in doing so help reduce the ambient anxiety many developers feel about the possibility of such problems."

I get a flu vaccine, in part for a couple of specific reasons. I haven't made a study of it though so I don't really have an opinion.

One can at least raise an eyebrow though in noting how major pharmacy chains have taken to so promoting vaccinations. It started with flu. The latest is shingles. Again, I have no opinion on whether these are good ideas in general or not. But there are certainly commercial interests aligned with giving them to people.
That's strange, I also have an astigmatism but I'm just the opposite. I can't stand light themes.
I wouldn't recommend PHP, but there is nothing wrong with it, especially not if you're good at it. Django is more productive, and react, graphql + Apollo and prisma is better in production, but really, if you're good at PHP then PHP is fine.

I wouldn't worry about it not being the fastest tech, the fact is that if it's more productive, then it's often more cost-efficient. Iron is so cheap, that if you need to spend 1-2 weeks extra on development, then you'll be able to pay for your servers for several hundreds of years until a faster tech becomes more cost-effective than something that deploys faster.

What I don't understand is why they are so cheap, especially in places like California where certain weekends are so crowded that trails get quota and lottery allocations.

I had a very similar reaction. People complaining all the time about verbosity in Java and then when I look at C# there seems even more boilerplate ... it seems like even the most simple piece of code ends up nested 3 or 4 layers deep and preceeded by 3 qualifiers to declare a simple variable. As a completely random example:

And like you say, all the cited advantages of .NET Core just seem to be fixing things that were broken compared to Java.

Yet I completely acknowledge that there seem to be a huge number of people who really love it, and there are some clear technical advantages. And now that Microsoft seems to be genuinely (for now) no longer hostile to open source and mostly out of the patent-trolling business, I would be open to adopting it. But when I actually do try it, I don't experience the advantages that I thought I was going to.
I'm not sure I'd even trust a self-hosted alternative. Presumably this would need to be exposed to the internet, and would be a nice target for someone to break into given how much information it collects.

When I got my rabies shots to do bat work years ago i remember the nurse that gave the shots told me the story of one of her first patients out of med school who died of rabies. Apparently, he was actually bit a bat that flew into his tent when he was camping and he didn't end up going to a doctor about it until it was too late and he slowly died. This was in canada. We've had deaths more recently than the USA from rabies.

It sounds like a horrible way to die. She gave me shit for going to work with bats...even after getting the shots...

Rabies is pretty intense. Even after being vaccinated you still need to get a titer shot every few years to keep your level of antibodies high enough to fight off the virus if you're exposed to it.

That article is hardly conclusive.

There are plenty of salty business owners, and somewhat understandably. Yelp is far more proactive than, say, Amazon in policing reviews with its automated software. They do sometimes filter legitimate reviews, particularly when a reviewer has few other reviews on the site and is very flattering to the business. They do not want businesses to game the system by bribing customers or recruiting friends and family.

But of course, sometimes this incorrectly flags legitimate positive reviews. And when simultaneous negative reviews don't get filtered, this is understandably frustrating for businesses. And it doesn't take much imagination for a slightly paranoid owner to wonder if Yelp's pushy sales efforts have a nefarious undertone.

But this aggressive quality control is what makes Yelp ratings so much more useful than Amazon ratings. And if businesses can keep attracting positive reviews, especially from established reviewers on the platform, and perhaps more importantly, avoid negative reviews, their ratings will rise. And they will have to fight Yelp's slightly trigger-happy automated review moderation whether or not they give money to a Yelp sales rep.
The implication this article makes that "containers" are somehow further from the metal than sandboxed javascript is disingenuous.

If you think that's bad. You only get 3 reviews when querying the API per business. Also, they aggressively fight scraping with traps. (For those who try to pull the business phone numbers, or the ones who try to get the full reviews).

Ever notice how you get a 404 occassionaly when going through the list of businesses? That was a scraping trap.

> It made him sad, he told me, to see people build things that destroy their own societies

> “If you make people start thinking far more deeply and seriously about these issues,” he told me, sounding weary, “some of the things they will think about might not be what you want them to think about.”

It's not puzzling, it's troubling. To see these people who are actively destroying society be so fascinated by their own powers of destruction.
Within, you'll find both facts and my own opinions.

I believe that, in the beginning, Tinder shocked women because they a) were reaffirmed that they were held in high value, and b) a subset of men will ruin a good chance (i.e. matching with someone) by sending unwanted dickpicks or just bring gross.

Over time, women felt jaded while also being put on a pedestal, a confusing situation no doubt. Now it's women's responsibility to avoid that, and they do so by being very selective with who they swipe on. As another commenter said, only the top percentage of men will regularly get matches while majority of women will easily match. (Anecdotal experience of mine and friends I talk with)

This leads to men having to liberally swipe right, while women can be very selective. At the same time, cultural standards say men have to be the first ones to message when a match occurs, which furthers the disadvantage, and requires even more work from men before a connection is even made. And if your message doesn't meet the usually high bar, then too bad sucker. Even if you do, there's a decent chance you'll get ghosted after a few messages. I won't even go into the societal norms of men having to pay for the dates. (mostly because this is slightly shifting)

Not to mention some of the seriously rude things I've found from the experience: "I'll always Love my dog more than you", "queen of xyz", "you better be this tall with this size of d!@$", direct racism against both black and white folks, saying "you have to put in more work than just saying hi" but then gives minimal effort in return. I also see a lot of "I love honestly, respect, love, kindness", being virtuous essentially, but then interacting with them gives me the entirely opposite vibe.

OKC is a different bag of nonsense. They've really screwed the messaging system recently. First you have to "like" someone before you can message them, then you get one message to send before their profile disappears from you -unless- they like/message you back. If you made an error or forgot something in your initial message, too bad. If you want to talk with someone without "liking" them, too bad. Further, the message you send doesn't even end up in their inbox- the message replaces your profile card when you're searching the general pool. (I.e. the recieving party didn't get an alert when they have a message, they have to stumble across it on the website)

Essentially, it feels like women hold all the chips for interaction, but they're also not being considerate about how they play the game. Both application boundaries and social boundaries give women the winning favor in online and regular dating. I believe there's an art for men to matching with women in the modern day, but I also believe that's it's based on a lot of shallow crap that women shouldn't be looking for in the first place.
I don't see how this is a problem of underspecification.

This seems to me like a recap of the age-old saying: "Second-best always tries harder".
Even at this point, the actual bills are already covered several times over, and the site could probably easily grow to at least 100x its current size without needing any more donations. The only real question is whether I continue working on it full-time, but keeping it running isn't in doubt at all, and I can't imagine that changing. There's no investor/owner pressure that would result in it needing to shut down: https://docs.tildes.net/faq#what-if-you-dont-get-enough-dona...

Ask HN: Is getting online still fun?
This is an extremely soft question. I completely get it if you downvote and flag it.

That is sort of my point though. Now a days you have to say and do everything online according to a protocol or else. Ask in the wrong place - deleted. Say a naughty word - banned. Have an unpopular idea - downvoted. It's not fun. The whole game, anymore, is to try and get internet points by making intellectual points in discussion forums. How lame.

Chat rooms for some reason died. Somehow web browser games are all still extremely low quality and surrounded by ads.

I just don't know what's fun to do on the internet anymore. Reading news aggregators is kind of boring to be honest. It's like the internet is all work and no play.

I've seen other people say things like "the internet sucks in 2018" and that can't just be because of targeted ads, 100,000,000 shades of beige websites, click bait, etc.

Do you still have fun on the internet? If so, what do you do?

You are sort of answering your own question, why are you not doing anything about this? Everyone seems to wait for 'someone' to do something about this.
Like JavaScript running in your browser, workers don't get direct access to files or other resources on the machine. We provide a limited API which only allows safe operations. Currently that means a Worker can send and receive HTTP requests, and read and write from Workers KV (a distributed storage system). We'll add more storage options in the future, but not raw disk access.

Hmm, perhaps not quite as black and white as first presented...
I'm so glad voice recognition is a thing. I have a weird tendon disorder and suffer from some pain/discomfort daily. So far I have been using my hands but I'm always worried about not being able to type in the future. I'm glad I won't have to rely on disability because career/work is so important to me.
I think one of the things that really hampered me was believing that attractiveness is:
1. always universal/objective
2. one dimensional

I took myself out of dating for a long time because of that set of beliefs combined with stats like the one you've posted. The truth is that different people find different types of people attractive. There are a few people who are just attractive (ironically a good number of those people are rather lonely because their good looks are intimidating) but the vast majority of people are attractive to some and not to others. Also, even how you present yourself matters a lot. Making yourself appear attractive does require some effort but it's not something you're stuck with.

If you're into long term relationships, you really only need a handful of people to find your attractive. The odds are actually in your favor when your sample size is large enough, which on a dating app it usually is.
I think I understand what you are saying, but I'm confused at this comment compared to your others. If you believe, as I do, that the user terminal is going to be extremely expensive, how will that compete with the current small vsat terminals?

I agree that the service could be better in theory, but at the same time, existing satellite internet service also could be better by taking on fewer customers and not being as congested. But that's a cost trade-off. And in this case, I believe SpaceX has a higher cost per customer to recoup, so it seems in their best interest to also be congested to increase revenue.
Many times, they are super busy, but the cost of admission really goes towards paying the Park Rangers and for overall upkeep of the park. Government funding decreases year over year, so these admissions become more and more necessary.
I'm going to be unpleasant and venture a guess.

A lot of Silicon Valley, and its global sphere of influence, loves consuming pseudo-contrarian content because they are themselves incapable of producing the tiniest bit of contrarian thought. Either because it's an intellectually too consuming task or simply because they are too scared to break rank with what is socially acceptable, even in the intimacy of their own minds. It is very hard to find anything subversive outside of anonymous clubs living on the fringe of the internet, a few domain specific publications, and "crank" hot-spots.

The cheap worship of contrarian thinking has taken off when Thiel popularized the idea of "secrets" in From Zero To One as well as with F8 and their analogous notion of "unfair advantage". Of course that is a much older idea, but they are the ones who synthesized it clearly in addition to consciously leverage it aggressively in business contexts.

It's odd, as usual, and an old phenomenon. There is a a bit of mimesis (craving for the the object of high-status Peter Thiel's desire: contrarian insights), a bit of laziness (taking the path of least resistance: consuming content instead of producing original thought), and a bit of messianism and vanity. I am not casting a moral judgment on the latter. The issue is that it comes at no cost: you never deploy efforts to challenge the tenets of your world and you never have to feel uncomfortable contemplating forbidden ideas. So you allow yourself to feel vain for a most obedient opinion.

If I were to draw an "ecology of contrarian ideas", I would say that there are about two types: the ones that will spark outrage and the ones that will spark indifference. The former are more abundant, easier to come up with, and probably more destructive too. The latter consists of all the positions that you can take in public without them having repercussions on your career, network, and status - since no one cares or understand. So, when you hear someone lauded for their "contrarian takes", chances are that they are either high-status, not taking any risks, or off-the-mark.

That's not exclusive to the tech world at all and maybe it will improve.

Apps don't support multiple tabs.

I'm rarely looking at 1 restaurant at a time, I'm trying to compare 5, or 6 or 10.

The Yelp app has no means of doing that.

Also, I can't easily select some text in the app, like the name of a dish I'm not familiar with, and quickly trigger a web search in another tab to do some quick side reading.

I have the Yelp app installed, but 9 times out of 10 the browser is how I prefer to use search for restaurants.

Because of Yelp's frustrating site restrictions, I find myself often using Google instead, even though I prefer Yelp!!!!!!

How ridiculous is that!!

Browsers also seem to have better low bandwidth performance than most apps. Probably because doing constrained network communications is hard and only browsers have the billions of reps needed to practice getting it right. With most apps I find that network handling in poor network situations (like is all too common when traveling and looking for a restaurant) is inferior to most browsers.

So yeah, Yelp would definitely win me over if they kept their site browser and low-bandwidth friendly.
