The Bay Area is something on an exception in that you really can't easily drive out to reasonably priced exurban/rural housing quickly enough to go into the city for an evening. With many other popular cities, an hour outside the city can get you into the countryside (and many employers are well outside the city in any case).
Yep, I confirmed that's it. Thanks!

I used to work a salaried job. The problem is that there is no more loyalty to employees. I've gotten let go in the past not because of performance, but because it was cheaper to replace me with a developer from India.

I've been contracting for the past decade and nearly tripled my income. If a client decides to end my contract, I can find another one in about a week (my record was 3 days). I really have no more loyalty to any company and because I'm contracting, nobody is surprised that I have new clients every year or two.
On similar note there are scripts which will enable host-based ad blocking via DNS for other open source router firmware like DDWRT, Tomato, Asus WRT etc.[1]

But I presume Pi-hole has automatic updates to lists, data visualisations, better community support than the routers with open source firmwares which are often quite bug-ridden (not to belittle the effort though).

Also trivially accomplished with PiHole or adblock on OpenWRT, and with a bit more work, Privoxy, SquidGuard, and related tools. Running your own DNS server (DNSMasq, Knot Resover (kresd), Bind) pretty much gives you carte blanche to do anything you want.

The "who to follow" on the left side of the post seems to rotate, but if I go down the list of what I see literally every member boasts some sort of odious point of view:

- @OldEarthNeoFash, whose description literally says they're a Nazi

- @AlexanderVI, who posts about how gay men should not be allowed to be President

- @Reality_and_Truth, whose description boasts about "exposing Leftist scum 300 chars at a time"

- @cashmoneyglock, whose posts reference Stalin "marrying Jewesses" and a conspiracy theory about MLK being a rapist

- @BruceKenneway, whose description references Jews and white genocide

- @AnthonyBoy, whose posts insinuate that Robert Mueller commits bestiality

Try it! I'm sure you'll get a similar collection of terrible people.

When you said "education", I first thought that you meant college. That's not so much a problem - kids go away to college all the time, and there's online if they don't want that. But primary/secondary schooling... yeah, that could be a concern. On the other hand, that's a concern in the city, too, unless you can afford the suburbs. Even there... we lived in the suburbs, and the elementary school in our area was ranked in the bottom third in our state. My wife called the vice-principal there, and asked why we should put our daughter in their school. He said, "Well, going here can toughen kids up." Becoming tough was not our priority for our daughter, and we didn't put her there. (We homeschooled, but I recognize that most people won't want to go that route.)

Okay, this makes a little more sense, as you seem to be mainly mentioning differences with Safari. I haven't broken into the Safari dev tools just yet, although I have a feeling that is around the corner since I just read that to see what iOS Safari is doing you use the Safari dev tools when connected via cable. And the rabbit hole just goes deeper. It's turtles all the way down I guess.
yes, no doubt many upvoted it for exactly that reason. my fear is that the publicity works to further legitimize it
What bothers me is that usually when sites offer a paid ad-free option, their prices are very much not what I would consider reasonable. "Reasonable" would be the amount necessary to offset the revenue lost from a lack of ad views, plus a little extra.

$10 per month is nearly the cost of a Netflix subscription. There is no way Youtube generates anywhere close to that much in ad revenue per user per month.

The problem is that we've gone beyond voicing criticism to constructing parallel, unconnected realities. It's not like there's one side praising the Vietnam War and another side criticizing it, it's like there's one side saying "hey, there's a war going on in Vietnam" and another side saying "no there isn't." And the "no there isn't" side can burrow comfortably into a huge mass of media telling them that their reality is the true one and everyone else is delusional, which makes it impossible to bring them around no matter how much evidence you marshal. "Here's a photo of a Vietnamese villager we burned with napalm." "Pffft. Photoshop." "Here's some footage of Vietnamese fighters in battle with American soldiers." "Pffft. Crisis actors."

Democracy needs to provide room for criticism, absolutely. But it also requires everybody to be operating from some kind of baseline consensus as to what's real and what isn't, or at least some openness to having your mind changed by evidence.
There's a big difference between "An official Google blog post said it's okay", to the same level of certainty as the pot post linked above, and "An app store curator selected an app". App store curators are likely independent contractors hired by a third-party management firm, for one. They're not quite clear about whether "featured apps" are endorsed by Google or merely selected by "staff" (a term that usually includes contractors), but I imagine if you made a fuss about "Google promotes XYZ evil app", they would quietly update the legalese to say that "featured" does not imply "endorsed" or similar.

Why do you think Article 17 applies to Hacker News?

I don't mean the GDPR, I mean having read the article, which of the grounds do you believe applies?

The only one that's plausible is 1.b), and I'm not convinced that Hacker News is storing your data using Article 6 1(a).

The Right to Erasure applies to some pretty specific situations, mainly where the data is being held using consent only. I'm fairly sure that Hacker News stores your user content either under "Legitimate interest" or "Contract".

Conceivably we could take a harder line on this, if we get a little deeper into the routing. We could make it so we only whitelist IP addresses outbound if we saw them come back through our DNS server, and network block everything else. Then if you bypass my DNS server, you don't get to talk to the Internet, unless you directly pick an address that something else has whitelisted that way.

I'm thinking about this, and feeling like the PiHole is a nice start, and I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically or dismissively, but what we need is a whole-house reverse firewall with that sort of capabilities, including everything the PiHole already does. If you did TLS interception, you could also pretty much implement uMatrix at the household level, for instance.
Aren't these monopolies either owned by the municipality or strictly regulated so they can't abuse their monopoly? Monopolies are problematic because it means the usual market mechanisms don't work. If you use regulation to keep prices in check and to ensure quality, monopolies do work for the customer of course.

The EU generally prefers to use regulation to artificially create markets though.
Ad blocking via DNS is relatively easy right now because a content provider like CNN.com will use a domain like “ads.evil-surveillance-media.com” to load their ads into your browser. But what happens if all these companies switch to just using their own domain to load ads? If the ads as well as the content BOTH come from CNN.com then there will be no easy way to filter the ads out. This will be the next stage in this war between ads and adblockers.

Nonsense. Land is a scarce resource. Neighborhoods aren't getting any bigger - they can't get any bigger. So the only way for a city to increase its housing supply is to increase its density, and that runs into a buzzsaw of local politics.

In theory, supply is infinite because you just build somewhere else. But people don't want to live somewhere else. They don't want to commute an hour and a half each way because that's where the cheap land was. The price I pay for my 1800sf 1/10 acre in south Minneapolis would buy me three times that in the burbs, but I don't wanna live in the burbs. I want to live in Minneapolis.
People without culture? I don't think that's a thing.

I also think comparing human level of consciousness to animal level of consciousness is a hard position to defend.

Anyway I guess you're missing the original point. What it theorizes is that some mushroom compounds might have had effect on our ancestors brains and helped them develop to what we are now, over long periods of time. A bit like agriculture or writing had a huge impact on our societies, but it's not a on/off switch, it's a very long gradual process.

I don't know if there is a lot of evidence supporting it, but it's not news that some drugs can temporarily or permanently reshape parts of our brains.

>Imagine everybody being able to criticize the Vietnam War in the sixties, or e.g. segregation in the 40s, or prohibition in the 20s, or the war on drugs in the 80s, or McCarthyism, on a platform that could get equal eyeballs as the Time or TIME LIFE or NYT. All those critiques would be discarded as "fake news", "propaganda" and so on too (in fact whatever little was, e.g. in underground papers and so on, got exactly those labels).

People were able to express those opinions, there were tons of publishers putting out independent papers, pamphlets and books. They didn't have the same reach as something like the New York Times, but I don't think the internet provides an equal amount of eyeballs either. It's easier to access now, but it's also easier to access something like the NYT.

And this same thing has been going on for centuries. Practically the same post was written about the Sans-culottes.

Aren't e.g. white people just as much "the other" from the point of view of black people? We're just picking the explanation we prefer depending on the case, without any real justification. If it's a minority that prefers some other ethnicity, it's colonized desire, but if it's a majority, it's fetishizing "the other"?

I am grateful to the internet for exposing how deeply our social consensus was dependent on a particular culture and ruling class owning the means of disseminating information, ie newspapers and tv channels. With the means to distribute ideas more openly available there has come both a broader range of views across the population and a noticeable weakening of the ruling class’s ability to direct public attention and belief toward strategic conclusions.
Problem is you don’t know what’s reasonable and what’s not. It’s not based on how it looks. If may look reasonable and harmless but still send your IP and browser fingerprint to surveillance ads networks.

>Useful features attract users. Users are a good thing.

I think its a bit of a stretch calling this feature useful but I suppose you can re-define anything to be useful. Ads are useful too, because you can save money by buying the exact thing that you need. Its too bad that people are downloading ad-blockers by the millions.

Google snooping on emails and extracting purchase related information to stick inside a dossier on you, is in no way the same as you voluntarily, creating a label for an email which they have already scanned anyway. An advertising company wants to know what you're buying, how frequently, and how much you spend on things. That is like a goldmine for them. The labels, are almost noise because its data that is an abstraction away from telling advertisers what will get you to open your wallet - which is the end goal.

>Like I can apply the exact same argument to email labels:

I don't think you can, and I could not follow the argument you made.

>a temporary illness until media consumers wise up

Not exactly. Media consumers do need to wise up. However expecting the consumers to bear the entire burden of verification is naive. Consumers want someone to do the verification for them (at least partially) because it's tedious and time consuming. That's why reputation paid off back then.

That's why before the internet the mechanism of information propagation was built in a way to amplify proved, respectable media. The social media on the internet have created a mechanism that can amplify any information. Even worse than that - it amplifies poor quality information with sensationalist clickbaity headlines significantly better that good quality but not so sensationalist information. Add to the picture the proliferation of click-based advertisement and you will see why sensationalism nowadays pays off more than reputation.
It is true that if you redefine poverty so that no Americans are poor, and quality of life so that dying young of opioid overdose doesn't count against it, then the entire country is rich and happy.
The accessibility concerns are right on. Another thing to think about is not distributing them as a monolith, so that devs can pull only the features they want to use. One of the biggest benefits of an all-vanilla library should be a minimal download.
Salesforce is really not a good enough product to be throwing it's weight around like that. It's expensive, it's clunky, and there are plenty of alternatives.

I care about GDPR because my employer has a physical presence in multiple EU countries. However, a US based company with no physical presence wouldn't really care. Wouldn't it be nice if they had to.

There are a lot of things in GDPR that I agree with and anyone who follows it in spirit is going to get my business over someone who does not, and that is something all of us can do. But beyond that, I'd recommend that OP remember the classic saying "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar" and maybe ask the moderators nicely to remove whatever past comments are irking him.
1. Labor force participation rate is much less rosy than typical employment measures. If skilled jobs are automated away and those workers completely drop out of the pool or rely on disability/benefits, can we really celebrate having lower unemployment from the remainder of non-automation-decimated jobs?

2. Minimum wage hikes in some areas are a great start, but when big players like Lyft, Uber, and restaurant industry get away with relying on tips and chance to meet minimum wage, we still are left with many low-quality, low-skill jobs that seem rife for further automation.

3. Where is the long-term focus on what to do about automation? Is any large population in the rich world going to try UBI or another mechanism?
> they aren't mining my communication for ad revenue or the enabling of any convenience features which indirectly leads to ad revenue

Exactly. Ever wonder why Amazon stopped including an itemized list of your order in its conformation emails? (and switched to things like "Your order of Super Soake... (and 33 other items) has shipped")? Google was mining the hell out of them to flesh out their user profiles, and Amazon didn't want to gift them its customer data.

Google need to be broken up, and Gmail doubly so (which shouldn't be too hard, since email was designed as a federated system).

Making a movie or web series is non-trivial.

There's a reason movie credits are very long. There's a reason people go to college for it. There's a reason there's several distinct disciplines within the whole shebang.

First thing you want to do is read up on "the pitch", as in pitching your movie. And to do that you'll need a screen play. And to do that you'll need a story. And to do that...

How do I know? I've worked in movies for the last 20 years.

And with all good faith and sincerity I say good on you for wanting to make something new and best of luck. More creators is a great thing.
Hired car is definitely different. You’ve rented that space, it is not public. I don’t see anything wrong with having a phone call while being driven around.
Why should you be able to do that on Google's servers?
not really. I migth have dozen of friends who did read, and did figure out it was BS.

But the systems optimize for positive interactions (which generates eyeballs/pageview/ad impressions). So even if a dozen friends dismissed something, correctly, that one dumb Shitposter will get the word accross and the sytem will benefit the thumbs up with a zero effort propagation (one click) versus the critic (time to sit down, write an argument, work to have that thumbsuped... or o HN: create an account years in the past, acumulates karma just so you can downvote things that are actually wrong).

the incentives are the problem (advertising) not presence of wrong content amidst good content.
I would claim that the majority population of techies probably do desire to live in cities and hubs in which there are large communities of other techies, you're right. My point is just that there is also a sizable community of people who work in tech who also enjoy living outside the city, and can still enjoy a city lifestyle from time to time as well.

I often notice that this sizable community is brushed to the wayside because they aren't the in-crowd of city-based IT enthusiasts, with their regions being considered "flyover" and their opinions devalued. Yet still, in small towns, we do have Slack and hackerspaces and lots of professional development, just like the cities.
I think your vision just concentrates the spying power into the hands of a few. Is that ideal? Additionally, a pay-to-play model would essentially make the internet only relevant to those with privilege and money.
