> they have become what they hated

I think that's the fate of all image hosts: current offerings have a lot of (crappy) ads to pay for hosting => competitors arrives, starts with less ads to incite onboarding => competitors gets a market share => competitors now has to turn a profit => add more ads (or ask money for hosting)
I've always wondered what is the order of importance when it comes to oral hygiene. Brush, paste, duration, technique. Further which is more important, brushing, flossing or a good mouthwash? Is there anything that survives a chlorhexidine rinse?

S&P refuses to add companies with dual-class stock to the S&P 500 or other benchmarks they control (Facebook was grandfathered in).

But I try to invest my 401(k) according to what I understand of academic research, and they never mention the importance of avoiding dual-class stock ( https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm ). I understand that some people have personal crusades about this or other questions of corporate governance; but those are their crusades, not mine, and they aren’t responsible for my financial well-being.
The engineers are definitely involved. This doesn't mean that we will stop creating things which can hurt people, but people who are involved in the pipeline need to be held responsible for supplying/maintaining to those with bad intentions.

So making guns is okay, supplying them randomly is illegal at most places because they just do harm.

Similarly there at these companies the engineers working to maintain the infra making it all possible.

Engineers need to understand where their work is getting put at.
Ultimately, depending on the field, you probably need to be T-shaped in some way

Indeed, in technical fields such as those we often discuss on HN, it is almost impossible for anyone beyond novice experience levels not to have greater depth of skill and understanding in some areas but also to pick up general knowledge and basic skills across a much broader range of areas. I'm not a big fan of the T metaphor specifically, because I think it misleadingly suggests than an individual will only develop much greater skills and knowledge in a single area or perhaps closely related areas, but the underlying premise makes sense: there isn't really any such thing as a pure specialist in technical work, because you are inevitably exposed to many related areas even if your focus is on one specific aspect.

I guess I can’t relate, I’ve been lucky enough to have had a number of periods in my life where I’ve had time to do my own thing and... I never tire of having long periods of time to do with as I wish. I mean, sure, I have to actively seek the next fulfilling thing, I can’t just sit back and assume the projects in my mind will fulfilling longtime and I do agree that its easy to slip into boredom, but there are so many things I’d like to do or experience that there’s always something I can do that I find interesting or exciting enough to fill my time. I certainly wouldn’t be idle, which absolutely would bore me.

I suppose everybody is different though and what works for me, might not work for you.

Compared to the previous 70 years, the last 70 years of scientific and technological research has been complete and utter shit, except for lithography. Pretty simple, really. The presence of all that cheap labor in the last 70 years has objectively not made things better. Mind you, in raw numbers we have at least 10x the number of active workers in the sciences in the last 70 years as in the previous 70 years; and less is getting done. Imagine that!

Your first point is a red herring: the presence of cheap labor in the sciences and the lack of decent jobs makes it unattractive to any sane person who was born in a first world country.
This is exactly a lifestyle job. Lifestyle for people who think their work is substitute for personality. It's very saddening that software development became this.
I've given up on format=flowed because if you are not really careful to insert hard newlines, it can break inline attachments. In fact, hardcore users of plain text email like LKML discourage it for this reason.

That said, it's nice to see a new text-oriented mail client. I remain skeptical about Unix interactive text-mode applications, though. Unlike classical Unix tools, more complex interactive applications do not compose well. They are little silos.

I was a long term Mutt user, but I eventually moved my email into Emacs. That was because Emacs applications feel part of a consistent environment, a text-mode Lisp VM. They can easily talk to each other, and you can extend them beyond their designers ideas.

On Mutt on the other hand, any non-trivial extension was just a pile of hacks. For example, multiple accounts.

I encourage HN users to take a look at Notmuch, both as a MUA inside Emacs or elsewhere, it has a really nice architecture. It's kind of a side-effect free mail user agent.

This is very simplistic thinking that neglects demand. Markets tend to favor specialists (and specialized companies). Selling yourself as a generalist is challenging as differentiation is inherently difficult.

Given opportunities and resources generalists may outperform but such positions are rare and access is often gated by check for specialization.

Personal responsibility should come in, but a middle ground can be seen probably of responsibility on both sides. Nothing as close to as truly addictive things like some drugs and cigarettes. Or even substances like alcohol.

Either way in support of what you’re saying and in reference to the words — what evidence or rational is there that most people psychologically addicted to FB think it is evil? Replace FB overall with IG. IG is hugely popular. Some are prob addicted. IG doesn’t have the same negativity assigned to it so saying most addicted users think it’s evil would seem like a very silly statement.

Each time you use the sign in with Google button, it becomes ever so harder to switch away from Google services.

Each time your friends add you to a Facebook Messenger group chat (instead of, say, an iMessage one) it becomes ever so harder to switch away from Facebook.

Each time you buy an Amazon Echo or Google Home or Chromecast or whatever else it becomes harder to switch away from Amazon/Google products.

At least iMessage is based primarily on phone number, so you can turn off iMessage and keep your contacts. Deleting your Facebook account or trying to change Gmail addresses means losing it all. Lock-in is only lock-in if you let it be. Personally, I worry more about Google than Apple, but your mileage may vary.
Yes, I think even when people choose to stop working, they often still fall into the trappings of joblessness and stress about the uncertainty of what they're going to do when it's time to go back to work. And so they don't enjoy it.

The last thing I am is a FB apologist, but your statement belies a lack of understanding of how large tech organizations work.

The development process at a company the size of FB is so fragmented that the number of people who actually have a full view of the sum ethics of the platform generally reside at the Director level or higher.

Does the engineer who maintains the code for tagging photos with facial recognition know anything about what happens to that data after?

For non-state actors my "data" is gone. You'd need a warrant to get data from my VPS provider, so for most of the common threats I'm pretty anonymous to non-state actors.

Maybe you don't want your employer to see everything you search? Interestingly for programmers the ssh-tunnel is perfectly explainable, especially if you do most of your browsing in the clearnet, and only some over your ssh-tunnel.

If your threat model includes state actors (doing something illegal hmmmm?) then I would recommend doing something a bit different, but for what most people are using services like Nord for ssh + vps should be fine.

The tools required for a marketplace that connects people to existing restaurants and a "marketplace" that connects people to multiple "restaurants" that are in reality all from the same dark kitchen are pretty different. The former only requires staff, the latter requires real estate, equipment and product in addition to staff. It's essentially building a restaurant with a tech component, not building a tech product.
Regarding the DDoS part, the claim seems to be that the attacks were based on the secret information NordVPN possessed:

"35. The DDoS attacks directed against TorGuard were based upon the Information—

> The Global Hawk has a wingspan over 50% as long as an A350, yet it weighs 1/10th as much. There is no comparison.

I agree that there is no comparison - in the sense that the two cannot be compared that way. For example: A childhood toy of mine (a compressed-air plane) needs a wingspan 1% as long as an A350, yet it only weighs 1/1,000,000th as much - and can still only stay airborne for 30 seconds!

This discussion [1] on the different most-aerodynamic plane shapes is fairly interesting, and certainly doesn't confirm the person above who claimed that a flying wing is the most aerodynamic shape.

Yes, but that is all anecdotes. Nobody with any intelligence seriously believes flossing is useless, but we don't have science to prove it, and until we have science there is room for doubt. If you don't know any science it is reasonable to argue that a heavy object falls faster than a light one, but once you do some science it isn't reasonable. (it is also reasonable to argue the other way, but most people would laugh at your argument until science proves them wrong at which point they should change their stance)

My argument is that we are long past the time when an engineer can implement something without thinking about the ethical and moral implications of how their work could be used.

And in the case of working at facebook, will most definitely be used.
>flying wings ... are inherently unstable

Not if you use an airfoil with an appropriate pitching moment, that's designed for flying wings. Look at all of the hobbyist models that fly just fine using very crude control inputs.

No.

I don't know how to explain it, only that it worked. If I had to guess, I got feedback from my future self. I would often read my old journal entries, and notice errors and improvements that I would not have noticed at the time. That, I suppose, is how I know I've improved. I also read a lot, so each year I learn more about what good writing looks like and therefore have a progressively improving basis of comparison for my journal entries.

Edit: I'm not a native speaker of English.

Food delivery is a good idea. Myself, I'd like to see less time spent on cooking. Except few special cases, cooking is a chore for me, not pleasure.

This is the Nuremburg defence. Afaik, it does not hold in modern court (in fact, there was a law to this effect as far back as Babylonia).

So if you work at Facebook, and you do something illegal you are personally liable. And personally: I completely agree.

It suggests a total lack of morals if you do something bad because someone gave you $100k or whatever. The above principle holds even in the army where you could reasonably be executed for failing to obey orders...that should put the "dilemma" facing Facebook engineers into perspective.

By far the shiny satellite is worse. Besides, the satellites are tracked carefully by multiple parties, so any serious astronomical observation that could even theoretically be sensitive to a sub-millisecond obscuration of a ~microradian portion of the sky (such as certain exoplanet searches) would be well aware of this ahead of time (and atmospheric aberration would be a far greater effect). A dark satellite is effectively irrelevant to optical ground astronomy.
