I share your concerns, but in a rather vague way. I struggle to describe concretely any undesirable scenarios likely to follow from the rise of Libra.

I worked at several small companies. One had good management, and I always was aware of that. I didn't always agree with them, but they treated me right. Another small company had a Great Manager and an Upper Asshole.

A Great Manager is the firewall/proxy between you and the Upper Asshole. He translates the orders into something reasonable that works for you and that you can work with. He sees what you need, if you're in trouble, and keeps you from getting into big trouble by keeping watch. He jumps in if necessary to help out if he can.

The Upper Asshole I'm talking about took over in the end, because the Great Manager left and nobody else wanted to take over that role.

It was all about him. He lacked vision, except the vision on his bank account. He didn't like criticism, reacted offended, and scoffed you when you made suggestions. The result is that you start to care about the interaction, about avoiding interaction and limiting it to the absolute minimum. You stop criticizing, and keep your mouth shut. The result is Upper Asshole Tunnel Vision because nobody says "no" anymore. So all his ideas are great, and he knows how to do things, and if he would put his mind to it he could solve any problem and learn any tool or language in half an hour. That's either dillusional (about his abilities) or condescending towards his employees. It probably is both.

Now think about this for a moment: Upper Asshole Tunnel Vision. Visualize it. Does it bring good things? In the end UA spend a lot of money on lawsuits and lost lots of money.
Depends on the carrier and plan.

Fully-integrated HMOs (think Kaiser) have extensive tracking and best practices that reduce future risk and liabilities: well mother / we'll baby care and training, vaccinations and nutrition, preventive chechups, monitoring of dangerous conditions, ob/gyn checkups, breast, colon & prostate exams, etc.

There's only so much that individual initiative can accomplish, but systemic measures really can move the needle.
Working in the fields in sweltering heat for less than minimum wage means you're not trying hard enough

You do realize that nobody said that, or anything even remotely close to that, right?

Also... I've actually "been there and done that" as far as doing manual labor, outside, in the NC heat in July and August. So you can think what you want about what I have to say, but at least I'm actually speaking based on a lifetime of experience that includes growing up dirt poor, and managing to make it to a level where I can have "a website full of enterprise software gibberish".
matrix is exactly this, at least from an client/server interop standpoint. email is the first massively successful federated application. matrix just needs an easy to use client/webclient. Riot.im is close, but needs some UX love.

I recently watched the film again, and it's fascinating how much times have changed since it came out.

When it was first released, I remember having long conversations about the 'freakish' idea of living in a virtual reality, escaping it just like the Matrix, etc. I personally sort of got Cypher's perspective on things, but it was a minority view among my friends.

But upon rewatching it, and talking to others about it, much of that fear/repulsion is just not there anymore. The idea of a 'fake' reality that stands in stark contrast to a 'real' reality just isn't that novel anymore. To have a similar long conversation, I have to pull out the 'matrix within the matrix' card (which as far as I can tell is almost 'canon' at this point?).

The idea that the 'real world' is just another matrix, but for the rebellious, to take the pressure off the whole system while still ultimately being fake, is not only more fitting to the franchise as a whole (trilogy, animation, etc.), but also a better fit for our contemporary culture.

Manufactured outrage, reddit bots that intentionally misrepresent themselves as that which they oppose: "as a black woman", "as a white male Bernie voter", "as a Hillary fan" all coming from the same account with the inevitable "I came around to <x>" conclusion.

The idea that perhaps most of what appears to be genuine conversation around us is really just various intentional forms of manipulation, whether for political, monetary or other ends, seems to have permeated 'common' culture around me, and it's both fascinating and depressing.

I often wish the second and third films weren't such wank-fests because the themes they explore are very contemporary, much more so than when they first came out.
This comment was dead. I vouched for it as the comment has substance and this is HN - please don't downvote just because you disagree.

I used to work for a company that facilitated selling adult content on phones in the UK (why someone would pay a few quid for a 320x240 video I don't know). Even to access free samples you had to pass age verification, which required you to have a contract phone (not prepay).

In regards to credit cards this may work in the US, but in the UK (and the rest of Europe) a lot of people only have debit cards, not credit cards. These are accessible to minors, apparently as young as 8.

This whole QuadrigaCX saga has certainly soured a lot of people on crypto here in Canada.
I don't like debt, but I think it is hard to dismiss people's decisions when debt seems to be the basis for the modern economy. A significant part of those who promote "financial responsibility" seem to already enjoy some wealth or decent opportunities. While the rest of us get to choose between life-as-a-service or a limited quality of life. Actually, not going into debt have in many locations unfortunately been one of the most costly decisions someone could make in the last 10 years. Which doesn't mean that it will be in the future, but with that in mind it is hard to join you in your opinion.
Regulated crypto defeats the purpose of crypto in the first place. A regulated currency is just your actual fiat currency. But the system is filled with so many bad actors that I don't see any way out but regulation.
We can control moving the bees around too. This would improve everything across the board.

Transportation are where mites are easiest to transmit. Travel is also easier to come into contact with poisons. The honey stock is also reduced, which make the bees less likely to survive winter.

No it isn't. You see that attitude around here every single day. It's become just short of prevalent from what I can see. Everybody wants to push this agenda that "all of success is luck" and frankly it's absurd.
Business is similarly susceptible. Small business especially, but even medium/large often do shockingly poorly.
There's one thing left that I have both doubts and excitement for:

How good are AMD's laptop chips? The improvement in IPC and efficiency in Zen 2 can go a long way in improving this, and then, of course, they must improve perception.

Anecdotally: I've owned almost exclusively AMD chips in my desktop builds for the past 15 years. I've never once owned an AMD laptop. When Intel built the Core line of chips, they seemed to nail laptop first, and then apply the efficiency to their desktop line with higher clocks. It worked wonders.

In my opinion, AMD really needs to nail laptop CPUs/APUs now more than ever. I hope they do!

Here’s the problem... when the Great Manager leaves, the people they protected rarely survive. (And Great Managers rarely suffer UAs for long) It’s a fine line between filtering the noise, and sheltering from corporate realities.
All these issues are being worked on. If you use kotlin-js, the output is javascript. There are no GC issues, you use the javascript GC.

WASM is currently indeed bottlenecked on the lack of GC. This is being worked on. I expect a lot of progress over the next two years that will gradually remove most of the obstacles on this and other fronts. None of these are fundamental issues; it's just a matter of things not being perfect yet. Despite this, there's already a lot of early adoption. But I agree that Kotlin on WASM is short term not ideal. In the same way C#/Blazor currently only makes sense for enterprise application where download size is less of a concern. Rust does not really need GC, which is why is a popular language for this already.

As far as bloat is concerned; react is actually pretty horrible. I've seen simple react applications go over 1 MB for no good reason. I'd say the react ecosystem is actually a main driver for people wanting to have some alternatives. I actually prefer more lean approaches. Vue.js seems nice and I'm aware of a few nice lightweight dom abstractions (e.g. redom is nice).
I also find it super interesting on how US government would monitor natural resources of other countries for decades without anyone knowing about it
At 54, I still find some wonder in the coordination of complex systems. Making a single process(or) step through a linear sequence of steps is BORING, but making a hundred or a thousand work together in some complex dance without skipping a beat can still feel pretty amazing. Maybe it's more like juggling than magic: the more balls are in the air at once, and the faster they're moving, the better. You can even get that feeling without true concurrency, when many pieces of a complex system each step in to do their brief essential part before stepping out again. Of course, when such systems fail the results can be spectacularly bad, but I guess that's the price you pay to experience the wonder when it's working.

For fun, look up "Strandbeest" or "Wintergatan marble machine" on YouTube to see some mechanical equivalents that (at least for me) trigger the same satisfaction at seeing the parts of a complex system come together.

I'm not sure what about the experience you had a concern about. Slack is the de facto user experience standard right now, with everyone from discord to teams copying it.
I didn't write the original comment, so I didn't say I "wouldn't be caught dead". But I'm skeptical that the choice is between "personal wealth enrichment" and "[my] community". It's far from obvious to me that working for local government means working for "[my] community", especially in my rather scandal-plagued city. Instead, working for my local government seems like it would force me to work with/for people with very different ethics who are nonetheless way better at playing the political power game, and who often don't care about tech to boot. That sounds bad.
You do know you can change the chime?
Well, it is true that globalization hurts the US middle class. Basically the argument in favor of globalization that economists use is that basically it is beneficial at a national level for the USA to exploit Chinese labor. The cost savings obviously go into the pocket of the executives. The people who lost their jobs get nothing. Obviously the same thing happens to every industry to varying degrees. Those who don't lose their jobs can still see their wages stagnate also known as deflation. The central bank then tries to combat the deflation by injecting money into the economy. It doesn't work: Inflation doesn't go up for anything other than housing, education or health insurance. That can only mean one thing. Prices that do not go up are not dictated by the local economy. If inflation would happen in the US and increase widget prices from $4 to $5 then production simply shifts to a country that can indeed produce the widget for $4.

If what I explained above is true, then it's time to rejoice. It means that the problems the middle class suffers from are temporary until every other country has been lifted out of extreme poverty. All we have to do is wait until the race to the bottom is over.

However if what I said is wrong, then it's time to be sad. There is no easy solution and the middle class might never get back on track.

I am in my mid-twenties and so far it's a split. My friend and I got married around the same time and had similar wedding styles (less then 10k total cost, no more then 50 guests, after gifts my wife and I basically broke even; I am assuming the same for my friend). I've had two friends do traditional weddings (200+ people, large venue, pretty flashy). No clue if they had to take out loans - I just assume their parents paid for it.
This genuinely surprises me. OpenVPN is a dense and obtuse rabbit hole of many poorly named configuration options with terrible documentation.

- They facilitate communication.

- They help you get what you want out of the job.

>It was going to set up a Google Plus account for every Google user.

Oh god. Thanks to this dreadful decision I went from not giving a crap about G+ to actually despising it and wanting it to fail miserably.

I had a youtube account long before Google took over and now all my activity was being posted on my G+ account feed or something. Now I had to turn that off.

Thanks for letting everybody know that I liked some videos Barney the Dinosaur because I let my sister use my PC, Google.
Marketing and social pressure are significant factors in people's decision making processes. Our entire society is constructed on the basis of convincing people to buy things and for a long time now whether or not they can actually afford them has not been a significant concern. It is especially callous and ignorant to claim that people are in no way victims of this.

However, I think the solution you propose is generally correct. We need to create a social pressure in the opposite direction of pressures pushing for people to take on debt.
I think Discord is more a replacement of IRC than Slack could ever be.

Slack is enterprise and workflow-oriented, Discord is community oriented.
They weren't actively doing so. Scientists just used the declassified photos as data for a modern analysis.

> The scientists combined declassified US spy satellite images from the mid-1970s with modern satellite data to create the first detailed, four-decade record of ice along the 2,000km (1,200-mile) mountain chain.

> The spy satellite photographs used in the research had lain unused in archives for some years. But a computer tool developed by Maurer and colleagues enabled these 1970s photos to be turned into 3D maps.

You can be damned sure they monitor some natural resources, like oil. Water's probably on the list now, too.
This post made me wonder to what extent cost/money could be reduced for people who are interesting purely in pollination of their own property or area and don't particularly care about actually harvesting any honey ever. It seemed like without being disturbed or having any of their honey taken, perhaps the convenience factor could be raised a bit which might let more people just have bees around as part of general landscaping. I've got a good few dozen semi-rural acres, there are bee friendly flowers, no pesticide usage, and for a low enough effort/investment I and I think plenty of others would be happy to contribute to the environment if it'd help.

But so far I haven't found a lot of solutions aimed specifically at this area, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has done this. It seems there are some old hive styles called skeps that are illegal for honey usage (since the hive is destroyed for harvesting) but would be fine if you don't plan to ever disturb them, but a straw basket doesn't look very durable over more then a year or two either nor do I think it'd work over a northern winter? It sounds like mites and diseases are always a risk factor which makes sense, but what comes after? If a hive setup was cheap enough it could simply be tossed (and burned/composted if it was all appropriate materials), but what is the sterilization procedure for something heavier duty? Some sort of toolless to disassemble metal general frame&body with wood/straw/whatever disposable insides seems like it'd be reliable: in the event of colony death since the natural bee interface bits could be replaced with fresh and the overall main box/framework could be put in a dishwasher or flat out baked in an oven for total sterilization. I don't know if anything like that exists, or if it makes more sense to go another direction and just use a bleach solution or whatever.

The other big suggestion I found for pollination-only, and the one that seems the most promising, is to forget about honeybees entirely and consider mason bees instead [1]. While it seems they won't survive a winter and need to be taken inside and refrigerated instead [2], they look extremely low effort and use very simple "hives" (they're solitary, so just blocks or tubes appear to be fine). I'd never heard of them until researching just now though, so perhaps they should get mentioned more in articles like this.

I think a significant slice of the public at least in principle could be enlisted to help out if given a clear path to do so, but are intimidated by the thought about the work that goes into maintaining real honey hives for honey. Those serve a real place and I know a lot of bee hobbyists enjoy it immensely, but pure-pollination efforts might be an area to explore or invest more in public outreach on? There is the inevitable question of "what can I do", and while some stuff is obvious harm-reduction territory (if you use pesticides, stop) proactive best practices seem less well known.

How to Build a Market Network
The claim that Rust’s complexity is a detriment to correctness is an awkward argument.

The complexity you’re probably referring to is the type system and/or borrow checker. The type system is strong enough that, if you take the time, correctness can be encoded into the types. Meaning, you can build types that make it a compilation error if the software is not “correct”. At that point even refactors can be more assured to meet those encoded correctness guarantees. So I’d say that the type system helps develop software that is provably correct.

Then there’s the borrow checker, and that’s about runtime memory access correctness, again increasing correctness.

Point being, Rust programs because of the “complexity” can get much closer to correct than other languages in its space.
One thing I don't see mentioned too much is just how slow it was. Not to mention confusing. I expect a lot of people were simply put off from using it after taking a look.
Thinkpad users don't use trackpads. The second biggest draw besides the keyboard might be the Trackpoint. It's glorious! It's nothing like the same little nipple you might have tried on HP or Dell laptops of past. The Thinkpad Trackpoint is far superior.
> The theory that it makes US citizens less attractive targets is confounded by the fact that some families/friends of the victims can and do pay anyway (illegally).

The article is kinda racist.

We do jaywalk all the time and not everyone as direct as described in the article. "Love of order" has long been lost. Half of Europe is more orderly than Germany.

I laughed especially hard at this: "It is more important to a German to be honest than liked, honest than professionally successful, honest than rich."

You're living 50 years in the past. Modern Germany has adapted to the American life style and the article is a collection of stereotypes.

The problem with Google+ is that using it felt like work.

It had some nice ideas, and was in many ways better than Facebook. But it wasn't fun, and it wasn't somewhere that was pleasant to hang out for long.

It also felt like it was solving a problem for Google, but not for its users. I could see how it would be strategic for Google to counter Facebook, and how tying searches into my social graph would result in much better data for advertisers. But I couldn't see how exactly that benefited me.

Also the launch strategy of making it invite-only was daft. I was really excited to get an invite just after launch, until I realised that no-one I knew had an account and there was hardly anyone else to talk to. Never really went back.
