It's articles like this that really illustrate how the media twists reality to suit their narrative. Mark's post was about focusing on privacy, which is what the public and the media have been demanding, and now they're accusing him of lying. I also saw an article that use the term "private", instead of "privacy", because obviously "private" is bad and "open" is good.

Anyone who keeps lapping up the media as a source of truth is living in a complete illusion far separated from reality. These companies are bleeding money to new tech and firing their journalists to stay afloat. The media has lost any sense of real journalism in order to suit their narrative and sell subscriptions based on public FUD. Really disturbing to watch.

I'm just a rookie at making espresso but I would argue my <$100 DeLonghi espresso maker paired with either fresh ground coffee from a local store or illy Coffee from online is at least on par with most chain coffee shops.

I can't stomach drip coffee but have really enjoyed a nice espresso with steam/foamed milk.

The biggest lessons I've learned are don't over pack it, don't under pack it, stop when it turns blond, give it time to warm up & let it run for a bit to get the old water out.

- Edit -
I would love to hear tips on what else I can do to up my espresso game though for a reasonable price.
It seems that "platform" in this instance is referring to some kind of CDN. Some CDNs handle redirects well, but some don't. Cloudflare workers are on the "edge" and this is "edge SEO" (apparently). Most CDNs don't allow the types of modifications present in this blog post.
I think we all know the truth. The Revealed Preference is that people get reporting for free. The rest is rationalization.

I don't think they ever intend to actually pay as much as they feel they do. Faced with the option to do so, they never do.

"I would do X" has a massive list of caveats, most of which are non-intersecting with anyone elses. Don't try to run a business based on this. Flattr and Blendle tried this and are having a hard time.

I'm totally with you here.

Last year, I realized that the direction that smartphones have taken is not a direction that is good and useful for me, so I decided that I'd better design and build my own smartphone before I need to replace the one I have. I have it breadboarded up and fundamentally working. It should be completed this year.

One of my very first decisions was that the phone was going to run ordinary Linux, for all of the reasons you cite. I'm VERY excited about being able to ditch Android!

This is so true. There is so much focus on social skills nowadays, I see it taking over someone with technical skills. It’s a double edge sword in my opinion. You have a bunch of agreeable software developers that cannot code outside their frameworks.
I do the same thing, but I just scan with Fujitsu ScanSnap and dump in a huge folder in Dropbox. They're OCR'ed and named with the date by default, and that's enough that I can basically always find what I want.

That said, I rarely need anything in that folder beyond 10-20 documents like passport or birth certificate scans. To the point where I wonder if the scanning is even worth it. Why don't I just toss all that stuff in a big box (so roughly sorted by time) and go through it in the rare event that I need something someday? I do set aside tax documents when they come, and other "action items", so those are a different case. I'm talking about just the stuff I scan for archival purposes. Seems really unlikely that I actually need that stuff in digital format.

For non-paper stuff, I use Evernote. There again though, I have dozens and dozens of notebooks and stacks of notebooks that hold my thousands of notes and it's getting overwhelming. It's getting to the point where I just use my "recent notes", my 10-20 shortcuts for notes I use all the time, and search for everything else.
I'd say it's frequent but not ubiquitous, and less popular than a few years ago. VSCode, Sublime Text, and Atom are all popular as well.

Why?
One thing to consider is that being a case of the emperor's new clothes is intentional. Consider The Fountain again:

The artist had the audacity to put a urinal in a gallery. It's not so much that this was a particularly lovely piece of ceramic (though some may think so). The point is the meta-awareness that urinals don't belong here.

The rule-breaking is the art. The fact the emperor has no clothes is the exact reason people were talking about it. It's not that no one has ever seen a naked person before! But the emperor?! That's not supposed to happen!

QED
In what way would PGP "work just as well" for a Windows user? You say "minus the windows UAC thing" as if that's an afterthought: it's the whole point of code signing on Windows.
While I'm opposed to "Net Neutrality" (partially due its shifting definitions), I'd much rather this be debated in Congress properly than the FCC.

And as both of you stated, its shouldn't just be "Do this from the 1934 Act!" but a complete review and a proper implementation.

This biggest problem I saw with the 2015 FCC order is it just said "while we could have this power over the internet, we promise we will never use it!" for a couple different things. If we are going to do something about "Net Neutrality", I'd much rather Congress just remove that power completely and permanently than letting it up to an administration who decides they no longer want to keep that promise.

Wouldn't that involve releasing people's personal information? I don't think that's a good idea at all.
So, I personally get an emotional response to Pollock, especially that particular one, I actually have a MoMA catalog on my bookshelf with that entry bookmarked with my admission ticket from 2010 when I went to see it ( https://imgur.com/a/hFBR7Nu ). The size is a factor as well, there is no way to look at it on a computer screen that is close to how you look at it in person ( https://www.moma.org/wp/inside_out/wp-content/uploads/2012/0... ). But we definitely have different tastes.

Regarding those soviet paintings, Goya depicted war and suffering, and is very well known and highly regarded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_of_May_1808 . But your point is the core of what the article is trying to get at. The people who evaluate art are looking for something that isn't being satisfied by the same criteria as i.e. journalism, cuisine, even music to a certain extent.
I believe he's using "Most Important" in the sense of necessary pre-requisites - and surely, those aren't technical, but behavioural.
One CISC is not the same as the other CISC.

> You might want to look up the ARM instructions "FJCVTZS" and "AESE", and "SHA256H".

The AESE isntruction is a perfect example of that.

The AESE instruction is a complex instruction that does not execute in the RISC pipeline, but it doesn't add major complexity to the decoder. That makes it very similar to the multiply and divide instructions on the original MIPS CPU: those operated outside of the canonical pipeline as well, with results stored in the HI and LO registers instead of the general purpose register file.

Yet I don't think anyone will argue that the 1985 MIPS was not RISC. ;-)
I like your take, but how are we going to enforce progressive taxation? The wealthiest firms escape taxation, at the moment.
If the TCP/IP call and mechanisms are abstracted out into other modules for FaaS, then you only need to test your single, isolated function, what it touches and returns. You don't even need to test the entire platform.

Structurally you can still use a mono-repo for all your deployed functions so that they can eve share some test functionality.
My experience is Notepad++ being one of multiple text editors people might choose including Sublime Text, VSCode, Atom, Emacs, vi, etc.
I'm generally pretty fond of taking a devil's advocate position when it comes to modern art. But regarding your specific example of "The David", let me ask you: which aspect of the sculpture is the art?

I would argue that replicating lifelike veins in marble is not the artistic part of David. That the craft - and surely many of Michaelangelo's contemporaries (and indeed many sculptors today) were also capable craftsmen when it came to sculpting. The art is the body language, expression, and overall "feel" of the piece.

This comes into sharp relief when you examine the work of someone like Robert Mapplethorpe[1] - who wanted to be a sculptor, but realized he could often achieve the same artistic goals with models and photography. He wanted to capture beauty and emotion through the human form - and the medium was just a means to an end.

All of this is to say that contemporary art is capable of communicating the same feelings as more classical artistic styles - and those feelings are really the point. The comparison between David and some college piece is also unfair. It has always been true 99% of everything is crap. What is the best contemporary art will only be apparent in retrospect. Stuff you see around a college campus is likely not even the best of contemporary art at the time it's created (that's why it's on a campus). Comparing that to art that has had 300+ years of societal filtering doesn't really make sense.

One of my favourite pieces of contemporary art is "Fuck Death" by Leon Golub[2]. I like its straightforward starkness and the way it seems hastily done - as if the painter was in a hurry because death is, indeed, coming. The technical aspects of this piece are, honestly, not very impressive. It's a very simple watercolour. But it speaks to me in a way that classical depictions of death, with all their craft and realism, really don't. That ability to communicate feeling is the art. The choice of medium or style is just aesthetic preference.

Edit: I am also a humble engineer, so I'm probably just re-inventing art theory 101 here. But I don't think contemporary art is as worthless as many seem to think.

There are plenty of voxel editors out there:

So does hashing the DLLs before you load them, negating much of the purpose of dynamic linking. That was my point.

Anyway if you really want to get technical, if your sharing method is hashing identical pages, I would bet that you don't actually need the same version of the lib to get nonzero sharing. I would not be surprised if many libs have large ranges of identical pages across point releases. Then it's more a question of: was the same compiler used, did it optimize the same way.

This is good. Those owners are going to have to pay more property taxes than those grandfathered in through Prop 13. It’ll also push the city to the brink faster, driving everyone else out to cheaper cities.

Yeah, I can see how that's confusing. My take is that the first person to display a urinal (as an art piece) was an artist - but the second person to _try_ to display a urinal (as an art piece) was just a plumber (meaning: not an artist).
> I remember the good old days when people were actually trusted to do their own research before downloading a potentially dangerous exe.

The Linux kernel, as of today, has ~20 million lines of code, and hundreds of vulnerabilities.

Since I presume that you are a user of Linux - what kind of research do you, personally do, to identify, and protect yourself from the potential dangers of running your operating system? Have you read through all of those 20 million LOC, and understood them in context? Do you compile your kernel from scratch? Do you completely, and fully understand the machine code that your C compiler will transform them into?

So it would appear the Bryan Caplan thesis is consensus among the sample of HN readers that comment, and that honestly makes me pretty happy because I'm fairly sure it's correct. Still, it's always good to examine things from both sides:

A lot of what the 'costly signaling' genre of comments miss is that a costly signal is very valuable. In the old school system where literally anyone could act as legal representation, it can be difficult to figure out who's trustworthy council. The professionalization of legal representation took away the public's ability to practice law, but it also better enabled them to consistently get competent legal counsel. Is that tradeoff worth it? Plausible.

I feel like a lot of the rankling around licensing and professionalization is because the costs of it are rarely taken into account so we let the commons suffer. The truth is that you can only strictly license and professionalize so many occupations. In a society with limited growth and a need for everyone to be employed being sufficiently risk averse means that economic freedom is stunted. That more than anything else seems to be what people are feeling as they reel from massive college debts and 'hustlers mindset'. Licensing costs are probably nonlinear, your nth license restriction costs more than the last did.

To the extent that college is 'sink or swim' it probably has a conditioning effect. I absolutely hate myself for what I tolerated to get my degree, but I'd be lying if I said the spiritual damage doesn't translate into a burnout who knows how to kill themselves going at stuff they hate. That's a very positive effect from an employability standpoint. Multiple times what I thought would be my psychological breaking point just turned out to be another ratchet on the road to scholastic moksha. It's only when you've learned to hate yourself so thoroughly that you can tolerate anything, that you're ready to handle the level of difficulty and nihilism the modern workplace is likely to present you with. Of course that perspective is closer in spirit to Mussolini than Mill, so you can't exactly advertise it in your universities brochure.

It's very possible if we don't do that somehow, you just can't quite produce the sort of highly disciplined person you need to make society work.
Not even a Pollock fan but the idea that a scan of a Pollock painting is at all similar to standing in front of one seems like a huge stretch. They absolutely huge and the paint is layered on very thick in a way that almost forces you to deconstruct the process of its production as you look at it.

This other painting on the other hand, I'd be very surprised if there's more to be gotten from seeing it in person that what's already on my screen. Going beyond that, a photo that captures the same emotions would be exponentially stronger for me personally too.

I wish I could tell you exactly when it started happening, but the number of vapid and/or histrionic LinkedIn posts floating to the top of my feed has really picked up in the last 12 months or so. What used to be a pretty useful and concise activity feed has started to look more like the uglier sides of your average Facebook feed.

I can't say if it's a content problem associated to the normalization of social apps as a whole (probably a bit) or the changing of the LI algo to push this stuff to the top (probably also attributable), but it's certainly diminished my general experience.

That said, LinkedIn is still very useful for recruiting and being recruited insofar as it is a widely-used database for professional information. I just don't recommend using it casually.
