> I can't speak to whether that is inconsistent or not, but in support of HN User'village-idiot', I think it'd be a pretty big bummer for people to find out that any tryst they have with a lover is not private, but public in nature.

it's a bummer for sure, but it's been this way for a while. it's perfectly legal for your wife to hire a PI to follow you around. the police also don't need a warrant to observe your movements.

the part that's new is that all this surveillance can be done passively without any particular reason to suspect you.

imo, the distinction between public and private spaces is pretty reasonable for targeted investigations and observation by fellow citizens. in my view, the real problem is how long information should be stored, especially when collected passively.
The Intel Atom C2000 product family had a terrible problem which would brick systems, see for example https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-cpu-failure-atom-pro... or https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/06/cisco_intel_decline...
The article touts transparency as being the virtue that led them to a flat organization. I'd argue that _it's within an explicit hierarchy where transparency (e.g. who makes decision, who earns more, who gets promoted) actually flourishes_ with the lowest cost. As other commenters have pointed out, a hierarchy will emerge regardless, however, transparency will be subdued beneath secret cabals and handshakes.
Convention and precedent (and tradition) are also forms of hierarchical power. Those who assert them in the course of making a decision exercise power over those who intend to deny them.
I get them through my employer.

Serious crimes with DNA evidence can also triangulate suspects via finding their relatives in the database. Finding two second cousins from different sides of a suspect's family have a guy currently on trial for murder who had never been arrested, but whose DNA was found on a dead woman's body and clothes.
>This is a common criticism of Valve's model, and it's fair to say that Valve's model isn't clearly obviously better, but those attack's on Valve don't make the case that the traditional hierarchical model, with its own well-known problems, is better.

I would say that the key difference is that in the traditional model I can learn about my potential bosses during the interview process. In the valve model I don't even know who my bosses will be during the interview process. As people like to say, interviews are a two way process.
Some of those checks and balances never get used.

> What about democracy? It is a clear rule (one person one vote) and yet it is not hierarchical.

Most, if not all societies do not implement direct democracy, where decisions are truly made by one person one vote.

Most at least employ an abstraction such as representative democracy, and the United States employs an abstraction upon an abstraction with the electoral college.
I don't feel your comment is rooted in a deep understanding of Chinese history, but I hear what you're saying. I personally believe that if the current leader started to exhibit behavior that was crazy, he would be removed. And you might go on to say that what happened in the Muslim territory in the Northwest is already crazy, but the economic track record and the number of people who have been lifted out of poverty is quite good for the current leader.

I prefer the Scandinavian (specifically Swedish approach) that I experienced at a prior company. It has its shortcomings of course. But put simply, there is a clear hierarchy, but generally most decisions are made by establishing consensus or compromise between all involved parties, the "manager/boss" only steps in to resolve or veto/tie break if none can be reached. It's not structure-less, and there are certainly teams, but employees generally work towards what they feel is the best solution.
Interesting. If this is the case, I think you have a communications problem. I was under the impression that after 6.0, the only way to get a license was to have your older one grandfathered. I can't find any information about this on your website. All of the options on your product info pages other than "enterprise (email us for a quote)" show monthly subscriptions only.

Where can I see product info about the licensed version? Can you provide a link?
> I think Apple's solution to the problem might work.

It might. As long as IT/Security can be convinced that it fulfills their goals. That doesn't seem like a sure thing.
I second the your conclusion and GP's. "Flat" / "self-organizing" / etc. teams seam prone to different, not fewer, pathologies than teams with explicit hierarchies.

I suspect that the two approaches are vulnerable to different, but specific, mixes of personalities.
> A primary school might put photos of the children with serious allergies on the wall in the cafeteria. They don't put that info on their web site.

Alright. But a schoolteacher can take a photo of herlsef, alone at home, and publish it on her own personal website. This is basic freedom of expression.

Will this action create some problems? Probably yes. A stalker neighbor of the teacher may learn where she works due to this website and attack the school and take hostages, or whatever crazy thing. Does this mean that it is OK to forbid schoolteachers to publish their own photos on their own websites? No. That would be an unacceptable attack on freedom of expression.

I like your example with the photos because, in the end, a photo and your DNA are a similar kind of information. Whatever the consequences, you have the right to publish your own.

Individual contributor. Works great for me because I was never much of a joiner. My faith gets broken too easily.
Punish 1 to educate 100, as a famous founder of a new superpower famously said. Except that strategy could work only if the 100 actually got to hear of the punished one, which will likely not be the case in this particular scenario.
I have to say, this whole trend screams of cognitive dissonance.

"I can't afford to buy so I don't want to anyways..." sounds like one of the primary motivators. Renting expensive items? How's this different from leasing or renting a supercar you can't afford to show off to friends or clients? It's not.

There's for sure some cases where this is a practical solution, like moving to another city for a year or two and getting some temporary furniture. But in most other cases in screams of sour grapes and businesses seeking to profit from people bad at math.

Rent a coffee table for $50 a month for a few years and then be happy you don't have to move it when you change apartments? Run the math on those numbers and you'll realize you're likely a fool. Sure, if you're buying things like cheap ikea furniture it's not likely to appreciate in value but most real hardwood furniture is generational and something of an investment.

Instead of "ownership transfer" you can also use locks. Read and write locks are already supported on many filesystems.
How do you manage keeping all the keys "synced" in terms of which services they are registered with.

I keep keys in separate locations for safety, but that makes adding all keys to a new account a big pain.

This hasn't been a big problem yet because there are so few services that support the keys, but I wonder how people would manage it if it became widespread.
There's no legal basis. It's just Xenophobia.

Since the article suggest the pivot will be to India, keep in mind that India is speculated to be the next US trade war. In the last two weeks India has been removed from the preferential trade agreement and threatened with sanctions via Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act for possible Russian S400 acquisition.
Since the topic is "new framework", I would not advise investing in a system that is not ideal long term just because of a very minor support percent difference today. (looks like 6% of the world based on caniuse.com, but your audience may vary of course)

The benefit of an assumption like "everything by default is vertical", then the few people without grid support, but with flex, will have a "mostly" ok display.

Also, it's not hard to have a fallback to flex for horizontal items. (the only place it would really matter)
The Jo Freeman article was written in retrospect to her own experiences with the feminist movement in the 1960s - she has another article - "Trashing: The Dark Side of Sisterhood" - that I think illustrates very well that in spite of her belief of the movement, she had been hurt by its methodology (which was by no means exclusive to the feminist movement, as we see here) and not to mention was in no position to be able to "take power." She wrote these things in hope that the movement could course-correct, not out of some calculated Machiavellian strategy.

The US "commitment to freedom and human rights" rings a bit hollow, IMHO. If you look at western Europe, free speech is restricted a little more, so "hate groups" are illegal. Yet in pretty much all other aspects, these countries are better at ensuring human rights for their citizens.

I'm fairly sure that the US is lagging due to historical reasons. Without a war like Germany experienced, there is too much resistance towards a "clean cut" elimination of racism, so you get an exponentially slow decay instead.
Hmmm...I had the opposite reaction. "Good guidelines, why don't their Economist examples follow them?" I find very light shading to be way better than horizontal lines.

To be blunt, there's a lot of it and it's not actually that valuable. We've had CDs for 30+ years. If there's an album UMG thought it'd be worth digitizing, remastering, and reselling, they'd have done it by now.

Humanity generates information (works of art included) faster than it can be reliably archived, and as that information ages and no one is interested in it, it becomes less relevant. Maybe it's a bit nihilistic, but I've come to accept humanity only has finite memory for a cultural canon, and things will drop out of it over time.

>Furniture quality has definitely gone downhill.

I'll bet that like almost everything throughout history, "good" furniture is far better quality than it's ever been, and "bad" furniture is now more stylish and accessible to more people than ever, albeit less durable than the best stuff.

And, as in the main story, the AMP page bricking the link to the real url.
Why is it your only option? AMP sucks, and I don't see why any user would feel like they need it.

AMP is about getting into the carousel search results, and if AMP wasn't the only way to do that, we wouldn't feel forced to use it.

To just download text and images I use www.outline.com, but there are lots of ways to accomplish this.
I'm unsure how many of the comments here read the article at all, but I see this as a smart move. Built-in VPN and cloud storage makes a lot of sense. They're building enough features between Lockwise, Send and soon VPN and some cloud storage, they're going to have a compelling package.

Toss in a secure @firefox.com email to use on the included cloud storage and Mozilla has my money.

Note that there was an article a while ago that claimed that assembling the iPhone in the USA would cost an extra $30-40, and that was mostly due to logistics.

So I would guess the extra cost would be less than that. You probably aren't talking about much difference here.

It could be xenophobia. It could be money laundering regs. It could be "national security concerns" which may be xenophobia or may be legitimate.
You should at least read the list before making assumptions. The official suppliers list clearly differentiates between PRC (381) and Taiwan (67). From cursory reading, China supplies more materials and components than all other country combined. Some of it is lower tech and can be replaced, but not all of it and certainly not in the short term.

Edit: To add, China's strength is both logistics and the ability to setup new production processes. Mature processes for old phones can be moved to India for production, but major hardware changes in new sku is still only viable in China because only China has the expertise, logistics, capacity to rapidly iterate and trouble shoot new products.
> Not denying that, but you can't deny that that is a selfish thing, wanting to bestow joy to yourself.

It's only selfish if you disregard other people and/or hurt them in the process of enjoying yourself. There's nothing selfish about bestowing joy on yourself if it's also a net positive for everyone else.

I don't think your use of the world "selfish" in this debate (with me or the other commenters) has helped your argument. It implies something negative where having children is going to be viewed subjectively and objectively positive by most people. Maybe a better term would be satisfying? That covers that the individual parent benefits but also doesn't imply that having children is hurting others.
I live on the outskirts between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. While myself and locals access the (truly wild) back country regularly (it's generally why we live here), it's also really important that the 4+ million tourists from urban and suburban environments have visitor centers, boardwalks, signs, rangers, and guides. That middle ground is necessary for their safety as well as area around it. Yes, they will mess it up (or themselves) if allowed to roam freely - there's just too big of a gap between what they know and the real world. It would be great if that gap were less, but it's not, so I don't see a way around it. I'm just happy that so many have the desire and the opportunity to at least get that close.
Can’t you still go to regular pages? I’ve never been forced to go to AMP pages. But I like them - people forget the full screen videos that popped up pre-AMP. Seriously - all this complaining you can’t load your bloatware pages is weird. AMP wouldn’t even be a thing if devs hadn’t trashed their own websites.
The comparison to JWST isn't really fair, as they are looking at completely different parts of the EM spectrum.
You're right about that but I don't know that you really understand fully either. In the United States we have a lot of secret money funding agendas in our social media that could most certainly be regarded as propaganda. In China they want to prevent propaganda from being used to destroy their country from within. You'd be surprised how many Chinese people actually support the notion that propaganda can be used for evil, and support preventing division through use of propaganda.
Here is a snippet of the article, which I am posting under the Fair Use Act (I think you should all consider a subscription):

"Silicon Valley startup Pilot AI Labs Inc. signed a Chinese-backed venture-capital firm as its first big investor. By last summer, Pilot AI wanted it gone.

The U.S. startup hoped to sell more of its artificial-intelligence software to the U.S. government after working with the Pentagon, according to people familiar with its operations, and worried its effort could be hurt by the investor’s ties to China’s government. The chairman of the Chinese-backed investor, Digital Horizon Capital, was asked to sell back its stake, said one of the people. He angrily refused.

Chinese investors were once embraced in Silicon Valley both for their pocketbooks and their access to one of the world’s largest and trickiest markets. Today, they are suddenly less welcome.

Since late last year, amid rising U.S-China tensions, venture firms with China ties have been dialing back their U.S. investments, structuring deals in novel ways to avoid regulators or shutting their U.S. offices. Some American venture firms are dumping their Chinese limited partners or walling them off with special structures. And some U.S. startups that have taken significant Chinese money are keeping the investments quiet or trying to push their Chinese investors out to avoid scrutiny..."
Ask HN: Project Ideas
I'm normally a back-end developer, however I have recently started having to create front-end fixes in a React app (Native and Web). Therefore, I need to learn React (my JS is okay). Rather than complete basic projects I want to build something useful, however I haven't thought of anything over the last week.

What do you, the community, wish existed that could be built in < 3 months? I'll build the most asked for thing, whatever it is, as long as it has a substantial front-end element to it.

>Moving production back to the U.S. would not solve the human rights issue...

You didn't read the fine print. They're not even talking about moving production to the US. Which only makes the idea of solving human rights abuses by moving even more puzzling?

I mean, Hon Hai capacity is in nations with human rights abuses for a reason.
how did you manage to land a job in the first place?
Good. We raised Series A from Chinese investors a few years ago and they were toxic. Not to mention the political implications of enriching countries like China and Saudi Arabia. In hindsight would have rather closed up shop than taken their money.
> The USA started the school lunch program in 1946, not exactly a time period known for free giveaways or "socialism".

Plenty of figures (some positively and some negatively) have recognized the FDR-Truman period as a peak of US socialism rivalled only by Johnson’s Great Society.

The dimensionality on these things is so high. The only way to tell if this idea is any good or not is to make it and use it for a while.

I’m going to guess the new employer is Deutsche Post DHL Group?

I’m basing this on you mentioning being in Germany and company size. Off topic, but I just went down a small rabbit hole of employers with >400k employees and there’s not many, most of them are either state owned/militaries (I’m assuming Russia’s Gasprom doesn’t have many German employees) or Walmart/McDonald’s (which has far more employees than 470k).

For anyone interested I guessed based on this article.

I've been using 1password for some years, but I'm not even sure what the use case for the web site is.

I have a "vault" (1password's term for an encrypted file containing passwords and related info) that's sync'd across devices through dropbox (and accessed through a locally installed app), which I think is what you're suggesting.

Anyway, I think there's no particular need to access passwords through the site.

I'd definitely feel uncomfortable typing my 1password vault password into a web page or anything else besides the apps.

It's not exactly the same on Linux, because Linux doesn't have duplicate pairs of system calls for one-byte character strings and wide strings. Linux system calls are all char strings: null-terminated arrays of bytes. It's a very clear model.
Any interpretation of path-names as multi-byte character set data is up to user space.
