In my experience there are some good tests for this on various noteworthy political events in recent times.

For example if you think that President Trump gave a press conference in which he referred to neo Nazis as very fine people, you are in a bubble because the context and quote are the exact opposite which he later clarifies when asked by the reporter, saying "I'm not talking about the Neo Nazis".

If you believe that Hillary Clinton sold 20% of the USA's uranium to Russia in exchange for donations then you are in a bubble because that characterization is missing several key pieces of information.

People treat future events based on what they have preconceived in these erroneous ways. The media distorts something with a tiny grain of truth into a narrative, and that narrative is what remains as a criteria for filtering future information.

When you interact with ideologically entrenched folks, you can easily poke holes using examples like this. If they are reasonable they will recognize what has happened to them. If not reasonable, there will be cognitive dissonance and excuses as to why their belief is still right. The latter are not worth engaging with further because it's an uphill battle that will likely yield no progress.

Media organizations like CNN and Fox News have become brazen in this regard. Recently CNN had a participant on a panel masquerading as a Trump voter, who was revealed to have a YouTube channel that espoused the exact opposite view. On a similar panel, key parts of answers on voter fraud were edited out of the final broadcast to make the respondent look uninformed, when they had, in fact, answered the question citing sources and narrating a great deal of information.

Market forces have moved the keepers of the "Gated institutional narrative" further towards the new clickbait, ideological, tabloid brand of journalism, and we are all worse off for it.
I have my problems with some of Mozilla's marketing and technical decisions but saying that the browser contains a "massive" amount of spyware is ludicrous and doesn't exactly inform the reader.

If the author listed more precisely their problems (like you just did for instance) then the reader could make an informed choice. Saying "Chrome is a botnet and Firefox is filled with spyware" is hogwash and disqualifies this page completely IMO.
Usually engineers at companies like Adobe use whatever the IT department allows their computer images to be.

My comments are valid in 2018, more so than ever.

China has a politically controlled economy, a politically controlled currency, no real or objective accounting standards, a politicized legal system, very high degrees of corruption, capital controls, massive state intervention in financial and other sectors, and a centrally planned economic orientation wherein especially banks take their marching orders from a single source.

So 'dude' , this is a fiction that does not exist even in 'Trump's America'.

American economic figures are open enough that they can be externally validated, and if you 'don't believe them' - you can happily bet against the 'fiction' on the open markets. Yes - the Fed's action does amount to a kind of intervention, but even then we know mostly what they are doing. It's not a fiction, more than it is a calculation.
I'm surprised nobody's tried to coin "millenienne" or something similar. I suppose we have the new phrase "#metoo generation", referring to the "new phenomenon" of women who object loudly to being sexually assaulted.

The hubris of the British at the time, where they fully believed that the war would only last a few weeks and they'd be 'Home for Christmas', is mainly what led to many sons of the Upper Class willingly signing up to fight in droves.

Alas, as we all know, the war lasted a lot longer than 'a few weeks'.

WW1 directly impacted the ability of many large estates across the UK to survive beyond the 1940s. It changed the cultural and class landscape of the UK significantly.
> We first got to know about factories through a hardware service provider and consultant firm.

That will be a red flag for me from the start. hardware service providers, consulting firms, and auditors making money on naive Western entrepreneurs are quite often big crooks themselves.

It is the same story with companies in financial space being forced to pay 10x premium to get just anything done on software front because they have near zero internal expertise, and they have no alternative to following whatever crooked colluding consultants say them to buy.

If you were homed on the moulding factory by a consultant, there is a big chance that he himself was in share with them.

I myself, I never had any issue ever on that front. Never place the whole order. Look for mid-sized contractors with a track record and cultivate your own relationship with them. Prioritise ones with shorter lead times, and ones pitching on their ability to handle design changes, and expertise on work with different materials.

The paragraph above is what people in Shenzhen charge $1000 and more in consulting fees (hourly.)
It is one reason why I encourage my s/w dev colleagues to go and spend time in customer support. The environment of what your users experience can be fundamentally different to what you imagined during the development phase.

As long as it's only the face, BPO works, although tedious. For other body regions it becomes impractical. Isotretinoine is the big gun then - it works perfect, but has serious implications for the dopamine system. That is the huge problem.

Keto-ish diet works very often with the same effectiveness, but is also very hard to pull off.

What's the first best?
Yea. I try meditation, and I consider myself really bad at it. This is because, like you said, it's hard to remain completely focused on something simple for long; but more importantly, it's not helping me with my objectives here: giving my mind rest, and extending my attention space and cognitive energy.

So here's the thing, whenever I read stuff on meditation, it often quickly veers into these frankly even sometimes pretentious discussions and concepts that I honestly dont understand. I could be wrong, but it reminds me of a lot of the hand-wavy "bro science" workout advice I've heard.

The best ways I've found to meditate, or rather I should say to at least reach my goals of meditation, so far are a hot bath or listening to music.
> Based on my personal experiences with manufacturing facilities (especially in Asia), and the low level of real experience behind the vast majority of Kickstarters, I simply don't trust any project to actually be successful.

That is in stark contrast to Chinese ran Kickstarter-like campaigns. Alibaba backed kickstarter clone keeps stamping successful startups one after another, and Chinese companies themselves are some of the best performers on the original Kickstarter

Locking in WebKit (2016)
Unless something is confidential, I don't use a phone. And luckily, I rarely need to be contacted instantly, as I don't like to be interrupted. I definitely never call my friends, we only speak to each other when we meet, and I read every email, but I never sign up for garbage emails.

Although I would still want my phone to have excellent call quality. My best experience is with Facetime Audio.
I do find it somewhat rich that on a forum where the overwhelming advice for entrepreneurs is "Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.", people complain about pricing. I guess it's different when you're on the other end :)

I don't know, man. I guess they will charge what the market lets them get away with. It's a for-profit business, and if they do one thing right, it's marketing & sales. You might be pissed off about the pricing, but the market stands behind it - there was a lot of skepticism even internally on the subscription model, but I think the executives were proven right on this one. You may hate them for it, and anecdotally it's easy to find Adobe haters... but not all the market does. AFAICT, far from it, there are still way more promoters than detractors. And the subscription pricing opened up a large market that nobody even thought existed - not to mention the fact that it made revenue streams more predictable. At this point, I think it's really hard to argue that the pricing is hurting the company in any way - if you look at the numbers that is, not at anecdotes about how one particular person/ set of persons feels about it.
This has probably been thought, at least publicly, about almost every offensive war waged by a democratic nation. Few civilizations (there are exceptions) would stomach a war that they knew from the outset would last for years.

> dilute open source.

I think you mean "dilute Open Source" with capitals :P

More seriously: most terms dilute over time, and it takes a lot of effort to prevent that. I wouldn't assume every instance is malicious
The majority of the world's richest people have their wealth tied up in companies they either founded or inherited.... if they are investing their capital they have limitations most of us do not have to face. If I go from having to invest $1m to $100m to $100bn, my investment universe shrinks each time.

For example, a small investor can invest in companies with market cap of ~$50m+....not possible for Warren Buffet. He can only invest in maybe less than a few hundred companies...with market caps in the region of a few $100bn.... there are of course treasuries/bonds but no seriously wealthy person has all of their money in bonds. In part because the returns are so low and income taxes are meaningfully higher than cap gains.
Anyone can put forward a suggestion but actual decisions are made at a meeting of senior devs, legal and finance to ensure any tools/libraries don't have negative licence implications and that the change is cost effective for the business. Multi-dev licences aimed at companies are very different from single-dev ones aimed at tinkerers.

Because it blocks ads by default, everywhere across all platforms.

Sure you can use Chrome / Firefox / Safari and install extensions and plugins that do something similar but end users don't want to jump through hoops and play whack a mole with ads. If a browser proactively fights ads for them out of the box, it enriches their lives without them needing any additional technical knowledge.

This, in concert with the fact that the factory has agreed to give it a second shot, makes that scenario unlikely. For a factory owner in the business of scamming people, it would be far easier just to back out than suddenly start operating like a legitimate business once your scapegoat got busted.

For most westerners, acne is a stage of puberty, but for a minority (1% of males, 5% of females) it's a part of their life well into their 40s. Persistence is more likely for people who "dodge" teenage acne but develop it in their early 20s.

> I personally can't imagine ever willingly enabling ads in my browser.

I have a really hard time reconciling this opinion with "Then ask for my credit card number, I may give it to you."

Even with ad blockers, I have much more control what information I give out than if I trust someone with my credit card number.

Even if the content creator is genuine, there have been so many hacks in the past.

Credit cards are also not good for microtransactions and BAT is a potentially enabler for them. Sure, we aren't there yet but it doesn't look as impossible as it were in 1999 when microtransactions came up the first time as a solution to the ads problem.
This is a difficult criticism since it applies to nearly every human interpretation of history. Cause and effect are so wired into our perception of the world. It's like saying, don't be fooled by your eyes, you're not seeing the truth, just a reflection of photons on your retina. Technically true, but totally useless.
That's a thing - and it's quite hilarious if you've seen some of those advertisements. Now, if only Apple gave us phone users the option of 'deceptively' hiding the notch, as OnePlus and so many other Android OEMs do...
IIRC, if your acne doesn't start and go away during your teenage years it can last into your 40s.

I'd say it's enough to look at the US as an anti-example of how politics look like when you create a giant political body which governs people of radically different value systems. IMO, the solution is to pass more power down, to local bodies, not up, to continental or global behemoths.
If an idea is preposterous to you then fair enough the status quo sounds like a fit for your needs and you are free to stick with it. I'm old enough to remember the time when the World Wide Web and electric self-driving cars were dismissed as preposterous.

For me, I like the idea of paying for content without having to supply my credit card number to each news outlet that I want to read. With no link to me directly the websites no longer need to track me and Brave can go out of it's way to back that up. No need to curate tokens. Just switch profiles if/when you need to.

BTW you don't _need_ to see any ads at all. You can instead just buy BATs and use them for content payment without ads.
This is going to be fun! From what I can pick up as (sometimes less than) subtle signalling from the crypto crowd, they tend towards a worldview somewhere between libertarian and alt-right on the spectrum, and Venezuela occupies that sweet spot of placing itself squarely opposite, and being terrible at, well, everything.

Matt Levine has sporadically covered this particularly folly, and it's well worth it: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=matt+le...

Now, what shall we do about that Brazilian army trying to 'liberate' us?")
This was the first paper to experimentally demonstrate the use double-crossover (DX) DNA tiles to implement a 1D cellular automata, namely Sierpinski patterns. Hence, a new type of crystal, called algorithmic crystals were born. Here the error rate was between 1% to 10%. In a subsequent work in collaboration with Erik Winfree, we're trying to reduce the error rate of these types of DNA computation models.

Abstractions are great. But in my experience the kind of functions you get by pulling chunks out of a big (but working) function aren't often abstracting things that are terribly valuable. If you think the extracted function does make sense on its own, then of course go for it! But if in doubt, I'd prefer to wait until there's actually a second call site to make the motivation for the extracted function clearer (and stand a better chance of getting its interface right first time).
Is it really Intel or Nvidia? Is it not Intel and Nvidia? Many laptops come with both and can switch between both depending on whether you need a fast GPU or energy saving.
Interesting that the book uses the old-fashioned "long s" (that somewhat looks like an "f") despite being from 1847. The "long s" was already falling out of favor by the late 1700s.

Ask HN: How do you measure a Developer Experience / Engineering Platform team?
I'm trying to set up OKRs for my team, which has the mission of making our hundreds of software engineers work better and faster.

To achive this, we develop internal tools, maintain web services for engineers, hold workshops, advise people on software architecture, and so on.

Sadly, any metric we'd examine, such as 'duration
of CI pipelines that end with a production deploy' ends up being subpar. This one specifically has too many external factors influencing it, covers less than 10% of all the stuff we work on, and the metric just has too much random variance anyway.

How are other similar teams setting objectives, key results, KPIs, or any other measure of success?
Anti-consumer, just like copyright law. My argument is that arguing against this practice is arguing against copyright law. And that's fine. We can agree that the copyright law is at least out of touch with the reality and that the copyright duration is outrageous.

But there's an argument to be made that the producer is incentivized to produce content by the prospect of making a profit. And that ultimately this benefits consumers too.

Would Game of Thrones exist if HBO wouldn't be allowed to have exclusive content?

I don't think so. And personally I'm seeing the quality of these shows from HBO and Netflix going up, versus the experience we've had on TV where the shows are optimized for serving ads. I also don't think anybody would pay for an HBO subscription without exclusive hits such as Game of Thrones.

> "Recommendations and reviews for example, customer service, price, outages, video quality"

There's not much customer service to be had. I never interacted with the customer service of HBO or Netflix. Not much on video quality either IMO, there's basically HD and the ability to stream HD over mobile data connections and that's almost a solved problem.

Also on recommendations or reviews, that's ultimately a natural monopoly. Think of how Amazon is thriving due to having the best product reviews, which can't be migrated and any newcomer in the market starts at a serious disadvantage due to not having reviews.

If anything I believe it is review platforms that should be made a shared resource, part of "the commons", like highways.
