>Also, I found this quote interesting: "...basically, when you want to stop a behavior, the worst thing you can do is prohibit it. Social inclusion is the most productive means of social control."

So what happens when the behavior is the inherent wrong?

People want to stop gangs not because being in the gang is inherently wrong, but because of the violence and crime that normally surrounds membership in a gang. The same somewhat applies to drugs as well, as many people don't see the drug itself as being something bad as long as adults reasonably use it, but the problems drugs normally cause as the reason for banning them.

But what about actions that are bad in and of themselves. Should we socially include NAMBLA and stop prohibiting what they wish to legalize? I seriously question the wisdom of such a move.
That document is astounding. My jaw dropped, literally, on some pages.
yeah sorry. i meant that i laughed at it in a good way. i just found humor in the way it was worded.
The very site you linked to (Google's butchering of the web via AMP) supported Project Maven explicitly and then implicitly by laundering their work through a contractor. Save your outrage.
Dude. You need to explain how you got into this situation of not drinking or eating for 7+ days. Right now we're all imagining you crossed the Saraha on foot or something equally reckless.
Usually the null hypothesis (“the reports are made up”) is denied by the fact that these events can be—and are—just as often observed by neutral (but not naive amateur) observers. Often these events are reported by private pilots who were flying in the airspace, or air traffic controllers in civilian airports who see the thing on their radar, or meteorologists examining satellite imagery.

There are also reports that come from government-affiliated persons, but where those affiliations are very distant. Unless you believe that the US government somehow manages to get their shit together way better for UFO propaganda than they do for, say, evidence-sharing in criminal investigations, then I personally find it implausible that entities as distant from one-another as the US Navy, the National Weather Service, and NASA, would all be speaking from the same side of their faces.

(And also, re “distraction”—who exactly does a UFO report distract? There’s never been one that’s made front-page news AFAIK. Local news of a UFO sighting [without any local UFO crackpots to get inured to] might work to distract a very small town from a psy-op going on in the area, but even a moderately large city wouldn’t even notice the news. You’d do much better covering up a psy-op with, say, an amber alert. That usually becomes 24-hour local news coverage!)
It depends on how you use slack. (I agree that Uber is pretty easy.)

If slack becomes an email replacement (instead of an ephemeral IM client), and a repository for historical knowledge, then it becomes very difficult to replace. In the workplaces where I have used slack, it definitely starts to take on that role (links to discussions are placed in tickets and documents, for example).
It was completely irresponsible on his part. If you are given a work device it is not for you to hand off to your child to play with. You should have more than enough disposable income at that point (since you have a child and a job that gives you an iPad) to buy a dedicated device for your child.
Why don't you think your colleagues value sleep? Is it that there's no data, save qualitative, backing up your claims?
I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing these problems. I send mail from a personal server, and recently discovered that my messages to people @gmail were frequently sent to spam or simply dropped. I briefly thought friends were ghosting me until I figured it out. I set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, but it seems like the only way to get reliable email these days is to use Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo (at least for a little while...).
Yes, I lost my Signal conversation history as well and had to be re-added to all group conversations (another PITA).

How do you store seed values in password managers? More specifically: how do you export them from Coogle Authenticator? (I’ve not found that option). And how do you import them again?

> on a $50-100 billion engineering and construction project.

That rangeright: they "estimated" the project would cost $33B and be done in 12 years .... 12 years ago. And now they want $100B and 30 years.

Such companies have an obvious profit motive to cause overruns.
I guarantee you that Microsoft has not lost money on Teams at the same growth rate. Why does Slack get a pass for that?
Counter culture? Working a 9-5 and living in the suburbs is counter to tens of thousands of years of humanity organizing itself in tribes which compete (often violently) for resources.

It seems fairly obvious that "legalizing" these groups and incorporating them into the political process allows them to gain resources without violence.

I had similar thoughts, but it took a while until I found something like Netlify to handle the domain end of things. My personal site was on DreamHost, who threw in Google Apps for free (this was before the bottom tier went paid).

At the very least, I knew that if mail ended up in that inbox, it was usually important.

More to the point, Fastmail allowed me to use Mail.app on macOS and get away from Google's web UI which, despite best efforts on their part - read: none at all - never worked correctly on the desktop with regard to message deletion in IMAP clients.

I was also going to say it's likely a Docker network problem. Docker-in-docker runners work great for us and make it possible to do all kinds testing in the pipeline; for example Selenium, custom REST, OWASP ZAP, etc.
Yup, the "post-modern" part I actually meant quite literally in fact. It's a societal attitude that somewhat widespread these days, of rejecting modernity in some forms (such as with the medical technology of vaccination, wrt. anti-vax adherents) while accepting it unreservedly in many other ways (as with the rise of the Internet, and especially the myriad local groups and weird "tribes" fostered by online social media - certainly a novel way to build up social capital, compared to the churches of old!). It's not really about the ideological spectrum per se, in fact focusing on that is more confusing than anything else.
This is an interesting and plausible narrative, but there's no reason to think that Javid doesn't believe that reigning in social networks is a genuinely good idea on its merits.

Everything else you have said is interesting but irrelevant (when it isn't outright mind reading). Of more importance than the possible motivations and causes is whether this is a good idea, whether it will achieve its aims, and whether those aims are desirable.
> I see sleep deprivation as a serious health debt that you pay nosebleed compound interest rates on.

I wish it were that easy! Years and years of sleep deprivation left me dealing with pretty bad anxiety attacks. It's been almost 6 years now and they are mostly manageable. I'm still on medication though, which has other not-so-fun side effects.

Don't be stupid like me. Get enough sleep! It's the only part I dread about having children: The lack of sleep in the first few months/years is probably going to worsen my anxiety attacks :-/

I still really want kids though :-)
Emacs is written in Emacs LISP, which is its own language. The really performance-critical stuff is written in C, as is the interpreter, but that’s it.

Maybe you haven't been following the news but this is a real concerns and there have been several tech companies that have even moves away from Slack.
I've had some user interface ideas I've wanted to explore floating around in my head for more than a decade. I' m now in a position to start exploring these ideas and after an extensive survey I decided to use Squeak. The deeper I get into this system the more appreciation I gain for the entire model.
I'd be curious if it's remotely sustainable. We started on Slack ~3 years ago. We're now moving (albeit slowly) to Teams. 18 months from now Slack will be gone entirely. I can't believe we're the only ones. And unlike Dropbox vs. Ondrive, Slack isn't markedly better in any area than Teams from my testing.
> No. Although a person in a vegetative state is not considered to be conscious, the neurons in their brain are still firing and are capable of regulating sleep–wake cycles and heart and lung function, among other processes. The pig brains in the latest study carried out metabolic functions — such as those cells use to produce energy and remove waste — but their neurons didn’t fire unless researchers stimulated them individually.

In this case, while it does touch the question of supporting cells in vitro (BTW: how long does other cell live after an organism stop breathing? can one revive it in the same way), I don't see how does it even remotely touch the topic of consciousness (or give raise to any ethical dilemmas).

It's a little harsh and inaccurate to say that Erlang has no use outside of the telecom industry. WhatsApp and RabbitMQ are both written in Erlang and the popularity of Elixir is that you can use Ruby-esque syntax AND reap the benefits of running your app on BEAM. Erlang might be in decline but the Erlang ecosystem is on the rise thanks to Elixir.
Iff they have confirmation from their product lead that what they're doing is perfectly legal and it isn't obviously illegal, I agree that there's no liability.

If it's either obviously illegal or it's clearly at least dodgy and they didn't get explicit confirmation from the project lead, "following orders" is not a valid excuse.

To take the VW case as an example: if your project lead tells you to implement a way to recognise test conditions and adjust the performance to reduce emissions, that is dodgy af and you should at least get confirmation that this isn't illegal (i.e. that it's not intended to cheat on certifications but maybe just for certain internal testing scenarios). In the end the entire chain of command that led to this being implemented is guilty, but if the person implementing that behavior knew what they were doing was illegal or at least suspect and they didn't get confirmation, they're still guilty.

People's choice of email provider has very little bearing on their ability to do (e.g.) biology or economics research. Plus, most career centers actively advise students (i.e., many applicants) to sent up a professional-sounding gmail (or similar account) accounts. In short, it makes no sense.

More broadly, grad school admissions--and, even moreso, faculty hiring--is already full of unwritten rules, backdoors, and tacit understands of "how things are done." It emphatically does not need more of those, especially petty ones related to email.

I'm not sure replacing Slack is as easy as you may think. If you have used their product, then you understand the amount of integrations and dependencies that become built into a team's workflow.

When your entire history of communications, way of tracking tickets, and document repository is stored in a desktop application, replacing Slack may not be as simple as switching to another messaging program.

Could you "replace Outlook" -- it's just an email client after all.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot. Their handling of Minecraft has been mostly great, from both a product and software quality perspective. (except for the modding stuff)

> However, the censorship requires enforcement.
Not true, if you censor a problem exists then no one knows you are doing nothing about it. Censorship is always cheaper than enforcement.

This has been the UK governments stance toward child pornography they could do something about it but like you said enforcement is expensive, its easier to just censor the child porn and pretend the problem doesn't exist.
I don't know how you came to model anything about this with "1^N" (I don't recognize that either). A nuclear chain reaction for instance starts with a single fission event, and if it's supercritical neutron population grows exponentially.

This article is probably too nuanced to be perceptible to HN readers.

Ultimately, though, it comes down to a principled, "who are you calling cis?" If your worldview depends on distinguishing yourself from two uniform "cis-gendered" populations, you are doing the same violence to each cis person that "they", collectively, are doing to you.

What makes it nuanced is that, collectively, "they" are, but you are not collective enough to do it back, wholesale, and nobody, particularly, is one of "them". Meanwhile, doing it back, individually, is just abuse for being a more cissy than you.

The only person who can legitimately put someone in a box is that person, whether the box is queer, female, male, or what-have-you. Even those so deluded as to try to keep to a box deserve, anyway, as much respect as they offer, and probably a little more because everybody has bad days.

But we don't know, for most people, how boxed they are, or how much respect they accord others, without more context than we usually get.

Yes in 2012 GCHQ installed black boxes in every uk isp that all internet must be routed through[1]. While no one knows what these boxes do, it was thought that they decrypt https requests and log the request header, which seems to be confirmed by snowden[2]. In 2016 the investigatory powers act is what gives them the legal authority to do it[3].

They have never claimed they send fake ssl packets to drop the stream but they have done it to me and the uk governments stance is kind of against modern tls greater than 1.2 which fixes the drop stream packet bug [4].

There is plenty more detail about what they are doing out there, search snoopers charter and GCHQ snowden to see what they have been doing and are now trying to make legal.

It's exciting to see specific validation for our industry.

We've seen a similar phenomenon with athletes, which drove us to create a sleep improvement app, called Rise Science (https://www.risescience.com), for athletes that tells them what to do to improve their sleep tonight based on science. It's currently being used by both professional and collegiate teams across the NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, and NCAAF.

We're now taking what we've learned from athletes and adapting it so anyone can engage in a lifelong practice of healthy sleep. If you're interested in helping test the early beta version of our app sign up here: http://bit.ly/hacker-friends

Imagine if this kind of thinking prevailed in the HIV hysteria of the 80's/90's. It's relatively easy to follow this approach to its logical conclusion. When you order authoritarianism, it's very likely you'll get it. And not simply in the places you want it.

Expansion costs money. They’ve doubled revenue three years in a row while keeping losses steady. Solid international growth means they aren’t running out of addressable market any time soon.

This change doesn't even touch Inbox. It removes the surrounding "chrome" and adjusts the whitespace. That's not nothing as it focuses the UI, but Inbox was far more than that. Not that I don't appreciate the time invested.

The design was welcome, to be sure. But there were far more important features to getting email out of the way. Automatic, inline message grouping by travel, priority, sender, etc; Advanced snooze that included "snooze until delivery date" for packages; Infinite Snooze, which was great for bookmarks with notes; Big, clear done / delete buttons; No ads - not that I expected that to last.

It's been long enough that I've begun to forget the other features since I switched back soon after the announcement, but moving back to gmail has been jarring. The old design is confusing, yes, but I can manage as I'd used it for a decade prior. The design was essential, but mostly icing.
