Mine would log you in. Of course the OS (Oasis) had a way to exec the login program and feed it the password. I stole the teacher’s password and then changed it.

He busted me by booting up the system from floppy and typed in the commend to format the hard drive and waited for me to return to the lab after school. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had no choice but to reinstall from scratch because someone changed the password. He then moved to hit the Enter key.

Not wanting my fellow students to lose their projects, I confessed. I logged him in and he changed the password.

He then gave my account admin privileges. I guess I had earned them.
It's poor planning. Sidetone is the feedback they're missing and is adjustable in some systems.
Reddit got the racists and sexists to leave by dialing the bigotry up to 11.

Reddit has never been as hateful as it is today. Take a look at /r/politics sometime. Do you see love?

People jump down your throat if you dare disagree with the hive mind. Those expressing the most popular opinions get to bully the minority. Fighting back will get you banned for incivility.

The censorship has also had a chilling effect on creativity. People create garbage content afraid to publish anything controversial. It’s becoming as boring to read as Facebook.
A crucial detail that people spouting "free college forever for anyone for any major!" are absolutely living in another dimension where funding a student's degree in civil engineering or chemistry is considered equivalent to the saturated academia-only majors whose only future career prospects are becoming a professor for that same subject matter.

I highly recommend “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawande. One of the points that Gawande discusses is that checklists cannot be too detailed. He discovered this in working with the WHO when their first surgical room checklist attempt was a complete failure because it had too many steps (chapter 5, the first try). In chapter 6, he then revisits flight checklists and writes:

“Some tone after that first miserable try, I did what I should have done to begin with. I went to the library and pulled out a few articles on how flight checklists are made. As great as construction-world checklists seemed to be, they were employed in projects that routinely take months to complete. In surgery, minutes matter. The problem of time seemed as serious limitation. But aviation had this challenge, too, and somehow pilots’ checklists met it.”

...

“It is common to misconceive how checklists function in complex lines of work. They are not comprehensive how-to guides, whether for building a skyscraper or getting a plane out of trouble. They are quick and simple tools aimed to buttress the skills of expert professionals. And by remaining swift and usable and resolutely modest, they are saving thousands of lives.”
There's plenty of stuff out there, on Earth and in the universe, that we don't know about. I bet the majority of them we don't know that we don't know.

The more we'll discover, the more we'll realize the universe is weird. It's a good thing we can't discover stuff too fast, otherwise that would probably cause a lot of discomfort for a lot of people that are attached to certain notions.

Meh, I know of at least 3 ex-friends that came across enough content on Reddit to “push them over the edge.” I.e. they literally “credited” Reddit for their “enlightenment.”
"As the article mentions, these people did not just disappear or change their mind. They just moved to more obscure places, where they can continue and be evem more motivated, because now they have been censored."

The irony of HN having this article on their front page while they engage in the same bullshit behavior is just delicious.

Maybe HN should learn from the site that's over 1,000x bigger than themselves.

Oh, wait, dang and stcb aren't that smart.
Oh absolutely, I was referring only to native phone apps.
Those are some good ideas too - "only solution" was a bit hyperbolic - but I do think our options are limited, especially on mobile.

The Secure Attention Key is interesting, but would need the user to know you press it. And on mobile, it would probably need to be a dedicated button on the device, since I could just fake the on screen keyboard too.

Password manager auto-fill failing would clue a savvy user that something was wrong, but I suspect many would just assume it's a glitch and manually enter their credentials.

I saw an reply in another thread suggesting customizable browser background images for the UI bar, which a website would have no way of replicating. In my opinion that's probably the best approach, although it might mean throwing away the ability for sites to set the background color of the UI to match their theme (arguably losing nothing of value :).
Yes, I agree. Within 1-2 years Reddit will be a collectivist utopia where controversial topics are banned outright and everyone who does not conform to the majority opinion is being made invisible through downvoting.

This is already the case in the big subreddits but there are still islands of freedom here and there.
> 'Apps' have stopped being OS-toolkit apps and moved onto the web, and of course each designer needs to have their own special on-brand widget style.

Which is also why they are so abombinally large. Picking on Skype, but they are by no means the only or worst, the Android app is 71MB. There is no sane reason it needs to be that large except for all of the custom assets and custom widgets.
Yeah, it's pretty sad how even the international community combined can't come up with that money while they piss away multiples of that with weapons purchases and subsidies to already filthy rich companies and people
I struggle to see how your analysts could do this without looking into specific instances of the problem. Perhaps you intend to contact the author of the article to ask for this. That might work in this case, but in the general case there is absolutely no way for people to report this problem to Google!

Yes, I'm yet another person with the same problem as the author of the article - running my own mail server for years, only I send mail from it, very low volume, everything set up properly, etc. The difference is that my emails go to spam, rather than being rejected by the SMTP servers, which to me is even worse, since I never know whether an email I sent to GMail has been delivered or not. Since GSuite is so popular now, I never know this for any unfamiliar domain, unless I do an MX lookup.

You say all the right words, but Google's actions on this issue (or lack thereof) speak much louder. It's very difficult to believe that the situation will improve and many comments here reflect this skepticism.
Since you're race baiting, I'd like to point out that there are plenty of us white guys out here who are not from privileged backgrounds and who have worked very hard to get to where they are. Please stop with the prejudice, for all people.
Are small companies immune to losing their leader and their way? Or is it just that we don't notice because there are so many small companies?
Right, but it was pushed as "lock icon means secure" and end users don't distinguish threat models.
"Whenever you post a photo on Instagram, write an Amazon review, or skim through complaints about potholes on your neighborhood's Facebook group, you're helping generate profit for the world's richest corporations. A growing movement is making the case that you ought to get paid for it."

The value is in the traffic, not necessarily the content. The traffic is what allows them to sell advertising.

They could have billions of submitted photos, reviews and comments about potholes, but if they failed to get enough daily traffic, the business would fail.

Imagine if web users retrieving each others' content were each visiting different websites controlled by different people (different domain name owners); the traffic would be more evenly distributed. Advertisers would be faced with different choices. They could not all choose to advertise with a small number of disproportionately high traffic websites. One website could not so easily generate billions in revenue from ad sales.

When so many web users all visit the same website, they create a highly valuable entity to advertisers. Why do they all visit the same website? They do so because that is the only source of the content. Exclusivity. "Walled garden."

What if a web user could retrieve those same photos, reviews and comments from many different websites, instead of just one? What if it was the author that mattered and not necessarily the source? What if we reimagined the way content was distributed?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_centric_networking

If users are the ones generating this "content", and they retain ownership, then it stands to reason that if provided with the technical means, they can choose make it available on any website they choose. It is their choice.

Open source operating systems use mirrors to make software available to users from multiple websites. The goal in that case is to distribute traffic more evenly across multiple websites, not to send all users to one controlled by a single owner.

When traffic is distributed across disparate websites it reduces the likelihood that web advertisers will fund the creation of monopolistic web-based companies like the ones that are causing so many unnecessary problems today.

Is there a technical barrier that prevents user-generated content from being mirrored at many different sites, with servers located around the globe? Perhaps it already is? Is there a technical requirement that all these sites be controlled by the same entity?

The disproportionate traffic to a single domain name is what allows one owner to monopolise and generate disproportionate wealth. What if we could distribute the traffic to other owners? After all, it is the user's content. Whether it is exclusively available from one website or available from multiple mirrors should be the user's decision.

Of course the author here may see no problems with the existence of these monopolies. Maybe all he really wants is a piece of the enormous ad revenue. He wants a multi billion dollar enterprise to pay him. Absent a lawsuit, what are the chances of that? Websites will not pay for content. Howeverthey will pay for traffic.
It's worth noting that for the same amount of money many countries manage to provide free healthcare, excellent public transportation, decent schools, while also having to maintain armed forces, financial system and a network of embassies abroad.
Running a fusion reactor will still cost significant money. It's a very complex machine.
You're misunderstanding the entire point of Christianity, in the interest, perhaps, of a snarky quote? In Christianity, the world will always be fallen, sure. The whole point is that it is. The non-fallen place is heaven- that's where "our diety" is: bringing those who'd actually want to be there to Heaven. What we do in the meantime is try to make the world as less-bad as possible.

> evidence indicated that rationality and clear arguments weren't winning

On what grounds do you base your own sense of "rationality and clear argument" as superior to that of the apparent majority of people that you refer to as "the cesspool"?
One of my favorite things about Reddit was the ability to find people actually expressing opinions that are anathema in the mainstream media, like "women can also be bad sometimes". I feel heavily oppressed by the people in this thread saying I'm not allowed to read or talk about those things except in the equivalent of a "free speech zone".

I think the comparison to a law forcing the homeless out of your neighborhood is apt. It works, but you must recognize that you are using power to harm people you don't like, not just improving the world for everyone. Like police power, it sometimes does improve the world for everyone and sometimes it grows to do more harm than good. In this case the result is good, but the fact that everyone just thinks "I like the result so censorship powers are good" is a step down a slippery slope.
If we can rearrange the vacuum we can get clean, limitless zero-point energy without fuels.

Maybe just two spinning donuts (one copper and one semi-conductor), in a vaccum, magnetically floated and pressured together along the spin axis by bookending with magnets. A wire along spin axis carries current.

Casimir effect catalyses dragging charges across the disc surfaces.
I assume you mean cost/J or cost/MWh. Construction and maintenance will be most of that. Most credible fusion reactor designs product a lot of neutrons, and neutrons get absorbed by most materials and degrade them. (And turn some materials radioactive — avoiding long term radioactivity is an important design considerations.)

There will also be staffing costs, fuel costs (small, but still — deuterium and tritium aren’t free), and even costs associated with obtaining cooling water.

The big benefits of fusion over fission, as I see it, are that the fuels are safe and plentiful, the byproducts are harmless (if neutron activation is well managed), and the reactor itself isn’t full of extremely dangerous materials. If you turn a fusion reactor off, it’s off, and there’s no risk that it accidentally keeps reacting.
The problems with this is developers would love to abolish the green belt - but guess what when it came to selling the price wont go down.
An airplane is a mechanical thing and in the end you have to check that things really work physically. I am sure they have self-check mechanisms that check that the software works right and the sensors produce the right signals but you still have to check that the rudder really moves.
I always get a justification of the elitist exploitation vibe from these kinds of writings. "We can't do anything about it, it's just prisoner's dilemmas all the way down. Move along, nothing to see here".
Looks like fuel costs are really low, but maintenance and replacement component cost might be pretty significant: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036054421...
I view it as a positive thing and wish it to happen in many countries.

Governments should stop thinking about population and gdp growth as a necessity. This is harmful when we're dealing with a planet with limited resources.
> I think ideas should be out there. My ideal world is one where there are the "big" sites with millions of DAU generally keep racist content (or at least the really nasty stuff) off their platform, but there are plenty of little sites that "keep the dream alive" so to speak.

But reddit is already compartmentalized. Subreddits for fringe ideas are those "plenty of little sites", especially when they are delisted from the front pages.
The motorcycle engine is LESS reliable than a well maintained Cessna. But I suspect the motorcycle was not well maintained, perhaps not well designed, and you should not have been driving it.
> Cities face inevitable scaling limits.

The scaling limits being reached in CA are completely self imposed ones that have tested to the limit just how far it is possible to sprawl a city. All the way into the central valley it turns out.

> There has always been regional inequality of opportunity, but never to this degree.

This has been happening since people first settled in permanent locations. The trend isn't going to stop and the only way to reverse it would be to interfere pretty strongly with the market. What are you going to do, set up a central government agency that tells citizens where they can and can't live? That says how many "computer companies" are allowed to exist in a city and ban anyone from starting a new one? It's a fair observation but it's a pointless one that distracts from reality and actual solutions.
Also, you have to check that the checklist machine is working. Automated safety systems failing has caused crashes.
Motherhood is not a zero sum game where having a child is somehow a loss to the mother that must be compensated by the father. It's a cooperative effort, not a competitive one. Motherhood is not respected only by those who don't respect family, and those who don't value and respect the idea of family, well they're lost souls.
Interesting reaction. What was the thought process behind it? E.g. what did you use them for
My point is that there are no one correct action that everyone will agree. There are no specific line that everyone will happy with.

I always imagine the past stretching behind and the first thing mentioned is now further away from me, so it should be the 'later'

If the past is behind you, isn't further away earlier in time? The Romans are further back than yesterday, right? So nearer should be later in time?

I often have to stop when doing filesystem datetime comparisons, to work out if I want greater-than or less-than, and picture it as Unix Epoch in seconds, the later time is a greater number, nearer things are closer and bigger and more recent, distant things are smaller, farther and more ancient.

(btw, it's former/latter)
This is my plan. We'll see how it works out, but my endgame is a technical lead on a relatively small team.

I watched my father get promoted into unhappiness. He didn't realize it until it was too late. For his most recent promotion they had to threaten to fire him to get him to take it.
>Germany has outlawed Nazis since the end of WW2 and guess what... they haven't taken over again.

Nor have they taken over in any other country, regardless of being banned. Because their ideology has already been exposed for the bullshit it is. The ban did nothing.
Many people have to rent, from a purely economic aspect owning is better than renting - there are social aspects to it as well.
Sounds like they need to encourage immigration to occupy those homes.
The article mentions some of the historical context around defining 1 as a unit and also suggests its usefulness as a number due to base 10 arithmetic.

I also think it is interesting to call the article pedantic and then make a similarly pedantic argument just beneath that claim.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_nuclear_fusion

Tax payers have paid billions for this over decades and while no doubt physics has benefited there's nothing to show for it in terms of a practical large scale application to generate energy from fusion. Why do you think merely throwing money at this project will do the trick after all this time? Politicians can of course use your argument to score over opponents in the realm where details don't count.
The analogy to this is saying, “if you don’t like climate change, just stop using fossil fuels”. Great as far as it goes, but the problem still exists beyond the bubble of my own consumer preference. We’re moving towards big FB regulation in Europe - I hope - which would set a precedent for it globally. Although my choice would be the Chinese solution...

> Whenever you see a new play that purports to indict the spiritual emptiness of the bourgeoisie—and most latter-day British and American dramas do just that—you are seeing his influence at work.

Right, just like if you hear someone sneeze, you're witnessing the influence of the first human that sneezed.

As if nobody could independently get the brilliant idea to criticize the bourgeoise?
> because of their jobs or their need for social validation, this is just not an option.

I don't understand this... are jobs and the source of peoples social validation not options? I used to derive social validation from drinking and kicking ass in video games, but then I found out you could get it from other places that were more productive, and less physically deteriorating.

If there are really people out there who are wholly dependent on Facebook for their social validation then that is a tragedy akin to finding out that there is an entire population of people who can't metabolize food without a special compound found only in White Castle burgers.

Heh. Heinlein wasn’t actually how I came into it, but because his writing was always in the back of my mind, it made it a lot easier to accept. I fell into it the way one falls into a puddle: by a series of mishaps. And those links/songs are excellent, thank you!
Strong disagree.
Urban aggregation is a global phenomenon in modern times, literally every country is seeing a rise of “mega cities”. It’s because workers are choosing to move to these cities as these cities have more opportunities for workers due to efficiencies of scale. The most dynamic economies are encouraging moving to mega cities (ex: China). Cities might have “scaling limits” but there is no evidence that any city in the world has approached these limits.
