Is this even on-topic for Hacker News?

Although looking at the guideline, it seems to be dependent on the reader:

[1]Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The article's subtitle is also amazing.

> No, Chrome isn’t killing ad blockers -- we’re making them safer

Lately I'm skeptical of anything purporting to be "secure" or "safe" due to the prevalence of such doublespeak. More often than not these products or "improvements" are secured against the user instead of in their favor.

If Google actually cared about the safety of non-technical users, they would ban (or prominently flag) extensions that use the "dangerous" APIs from the centralized distribution channels that they control, similar to what they do with Google Play for Android.
Dogs' eyes don't generally look sad, especially if they're quizzically raising one eyebrow. Why change the title from the much more interesting, and accurate original?

"Dogs’ Eyes Have Changed Since Humans Befriended Them"

I was actually expecting a dire clickbait sort of article, when it actually turns out to be substantive and interesting.
The trash comes from earth. We don't create it out of nothing. We can't overfill earth with itself.
It makes me think that there are, at least, 2 ways to move forward:

- What can we do about this situation we are in ? Is it a problem that Technology can solve (I'm thinking about startup in the privacy field) or it's more political and in this case it will take years to fix.

- What can we do about the other fields where we still have some power ? Like Smart Assistant, self driving cars with AI. Someday we are going to wake up again and realize that again someone used one our of weakness and abused it.
It will again return against ourselves by restraining our freedom and/or make us more dumb.

I'm sure history has many examples about that global behavior: "change for the worst, acknowledge it, repeat".
What is the way to avoid taking that direction again ? I'm not sure education is the answer nor politic or technology... I'm out of answers...

And who decides what constitutes malinvestment? I'm guessing there will be plenty of funds made available for tech work, what with Twitter, Ubereats and Facebook being so critical. How about the arts? How about history and culture, you know the stuff that makes living worthwhile beyond your usefulness to line the pockets of capitalists?

Or how about we just confront the problem dead on, remove the money and profit aspect entirely, and offer free college like dozens of other nations do, and have for many years, somehow without their economies imploding? Why must we sacrifice yet more of our society on the altar of profits? Fuck good investments. Fuck investors. Fuck this entire screwed up system that decides that anything that cannot be monetized is worthless.

Penn and Teller BS (TV series) has the best solution to this problem but we have way too many liberal lefty softies. Dig a fucking hole in the middle of a desert and bury it there. Problem solved it's far away from water supplies or any other way that should could contaminate things. I always found it stupid that we use bodies of water to ship around trash to dump it.

It's also stupid that in LA we use deserts to put massive ass farms in where water is piped in from way the hell up north and complain when there is a draught that the north is cutting off the water supply to farms located in the desert. LOL!
Seeing that your posts throughout this thread whole heartedly defend their practices and ignore mentioning them taking any amount of accountability for their actions, would you care to provide your insights as a means of sharing knowledge with those of us you imply are ignorant regarding the matters of this topic?
You can't blame the old black people, because they don't own homes. The rate of home ownership among whites is far and away greater than that for blacks. The average white person has some home equity. The average black person has next to none. The old people you're thinking about blaming are the old white people who took advantage of the whites-only, government sponsored, subsidized housing projects in the pre and post war years. The reason why all those old people in homes are white is because they were the only ones allowed to buy in the '50s!

The median white family is worth $100k (almost entirely home equity). The average black family is worth $7,000. You don't think massive subsidies for white home ownership during the first half of the 20th century might have something.to do with it? Black people couldn't get mortgages. White people had theirs guaranteed by the Feds. It was a sweet deal. That equity didn't just evaporate.

Mazda's touch screen is far away up on the dashboard while other brands like Citroen or Tesla place it between the driver and passenger, so it's easily operated by both. I like both Audi's rotary controller and touch screens. Both are a distraction to the driver because you have to navigate menus, not particulary because of the interface. Seat also has a touchscreen and it's a VW brand.

The whole Kenmore/Whirlpool/Maytag/Jenn-Air/etc branding joke is that they switch which brand is the good one frequently to sucker people into buying garbage so you really have to be careful and do your homework for every single device. Have a great white Whirlpool dishwasher that replaced a near identical looking model. Apparently the motor and a few other parts were significantly different as while the prior model only made "the energy star sounds" it frequently clogged and never cleaned. The new one is a champ, uses less energy, less water, cleans everything, fits more dishes, and never clogs and I'm pretty sure it was cheaper than the previous model. The previous house had an amazing portable dishwasher I'd plumbed in. I had to replace the motor once and the impeller twice (user error) but the thing was over 20 years old and still ran like new. They certainly don't build them to last like that anymore.
They're talking a lot about the LAOM muscle which raises the eyebrow - I always thought it made dogs look more anxious than sad when they tense it - but they don't really talk about the RAOL muscle much.

> With dogs, Horowitz points out, we’re so driven to connect that we often search for “smiles” in the shapes of dogs’ mouths.

I think a lot of the "smile" facial expression you see on dogs is produced, not by the mouth, but by the RAOL muscle pulling the corners of the eyes out slightly to mimic the way humans' eyes squint slightly when we smile.

In any case, it'd be surprising if dogs didn't have some behavioural / communicative adaptations, given that their role in our lives has historically been a collaborative one. Look at all of the dramatic cosmetic changes we've made in selecting different breeds of dog. Surely selecting for increased utility as a hunting or farming animal would exert even more pressure?

Hi guys,

I wanted to respond to this forum, to hopefully, demystify some misconceptions or help folks, understand, what real self-sustainability is, or what it could mean to us as people, or as a collection of individuals.

Many people believe, that, just because you are being paid, or have money, that you or your service is part of a self-sustainable system, or sociopolitical or economic circumstance. And, by using money to purchase products or services that you or your business is being sustained.

Fortunately, that's not true.

Society, or real self-sustainability, doesn't work like that.

This was proven in 1930, by the Austrian mathematician, Kurt Godel, in his incompleteness theorem, paper.

Basically, Godel concluded, that there is no such thing, as a set-of-all-sets, or superset, in mathematics, or that such a statement, or set, can never be proven, or exist in nature.

Fast forward to 1936, and Alan Turing, uses Godel’s statement, as the “process” or self-sustainable mechanism, for his Turing machine.

Input > Process > Output

Basically, Turing is saying to Godel, you’re right, there is no such thing as a set-of-all-sets or superset in nature. But, what if there was? What would that look like?

And then, Turing goes ahead, based on that supposition, to demonstrate that such a set exists in his 1936, computable numbers paper.

So every time people turn their computers on, they are basically proving Turing right, and Godel wrong, about their being a set-of-all-sets or a superset in nature.

What does this have to do with self-sustainability or human sociopolitical or economic circumstance?

Everything.

All sociopolitical or economic responses or circumstances are built on their being a “process”, or set-of-all-sets, present in every human or non-human transaction or request. In other words, we as people shouldn’t be seeking to “create” self-sustainable services or mechanisms in the world, Godel proved that, that would be a waste of time. We, should be looking at, is ways to “serve” the self-sustainable mechanism, that Turing has proven exists.

What, if we alter, what Alan Turing is saying about their being a set-of-all-sets, that can be aggregated, to a set-of-all-sets that can’t be aggregated, but could only be served. In other words a forum, or circumstance in which ‘process’ or the set-of-all-sets is the only constant in the system, and that, the forums or requests, themselves, are the things or mechanisms, that scale or aggregate in the system.

One of the biggest bottlenecks we face as humankind or a society is the ability to scale our requests, so that they can be managed by multi-individuals or organisations simultaneously.

By inverting a Turing machine, we just might be able to serve one another globally, or as a new human circumstance that can scale to serve any human or non-human request.

My medical school tuition was $38k for my final year of medical school. If my professors were making $250k/yr (1) their hourly rate would be $125. With a wrap rate of 25%, my institution's billable cost would be $156.25/hr. For $38K I should get 243 hours, or a bit over 12% of an FTE. Figure I got 1-2 hours a day direct time and 1-2 hours indirect time. We'll say 3 hours a day for 250 work days. But it was often "group therapy" where one faculty member would have 3-5 students and residents at a time. Still, at 1 hour a day, that comes out about even.

Well, anything that gets a vulnerable device to talk to a malicious device would be an issue. Probably best to check with each vendor and see what their story is if you can't filter the traffic between your devices and potentially malicious devices.
No.

While more and better employment would help with the student debt, the fact is starting out in life saddled with what is essentially a home mortgage takes a huge bite out of the potential value of education.

And it carries a very high opportunity cost in that increasing numbers are avoiding school and or seeking options that do not put them in profound debt so early in life.
I don't understand the recent spate of China articles on HN. Most appear far more polemic and have a looser relationship with the truth than your typical HN article.
Somewhat tangential and not workable in all situations, but the best "TV" I've found is a projector bolted to the ceiling. It's out of the way. There's no "black mirror" taking up space or pulling on your gaze. Project against a white wall and it's like having a magic wall that turns into a cinema on demand. The fact that it doesn't work well in daylight is a forcing function to keep from watching TV / movies during the day. I have an Apple TV plugged into it, wedged into the ceiling mount, bluetooth audio to the stereo, no wires anywhere. I love it.
I don't know if quantum effects are an "important part of brain function".

Yes, exactly. US customers are selecting for the biggest/dollar with no blemishes, rather than the tastiest.
That phrase only makes sense in the context of a time when 8MB of RAM was considered a lot.
Came here to say exactly this and you already did, so thanks. It's amazingly liberating to use a language where generic functions are first-class, and classes don't own any methods. Once you've written code this way, the other way seems backward and restrictive.
I also hate my Samsung smart tv. On a fresh “turn on”, before I can load any app I have to wait for the tv to “sign in”. This can take up to 20 seconds.
> So what a Sr. DBA did before would go to a regular DBA or even a Jr. DBA.

GP was asserting that it is cheaper to hire H1Bs than entry-level grads, which isn't the same thing as what you're describing.

> I think the best way to counter the abuse is to increase the premium ($100k+) and allow H1Bs to move between companies.

I agree re: increasing the minimum to ~$90-100k. Maybe apply a CoL based multiplier so it's $85k in, for instance, Tulsa but $135-145k in the Bay Area.

H1Bs are already allowed to move between companies. But the new company has to apply for a fresh visa, without going through the lottery, and it takes a few weeks, which is a hassle. Plus there's a risk of being denied or going into RFE. I think that rule could be tweaked to allow movement without approval if the offered salary in the new role is higher by a certain minimum percentage (like say 10% increase).

The amount of labor required for an individual to attend even a community college has increased more than 5-fold. This is for basic tuition at a no-name university, obviously the numbers are far worse for ivy league. You can slice that in terms of markets demanding more, costs going up, administration bloat or whatever else how you like but the fact of the matter is, when a college education is more critical than ever for many fields, it costs five times what it used to, optimistically.

If we want college grads able to leave school and not be saddled with debt for the remainder of their lives, make college free. I'm not interested in hearing about how someone might dare learn something that isn't inherently profitable; I reject the assertion that just because something cannot be successfully monetized does not automatically make it worthless. Art, culture, history, all of these are more valuable to society at large than the highest valued startup. End of. Argue it.
I don't blame the old black people, because they were only 10% of the population. You are so obsessed with race and racism that you can't see the forest through the trees. The very real historic discrimination against blacks and other minorities has nothing to do with this article about the crumbling city of Levittown, no matter how much you want to make it about race. The economic problems that exist in Levittown, for working people, and for younger people would exist and be just as bad whether or not we ever had a racial issue. People who inject race and identity nonsense into every issue are a distraction and a roadblock from solving most issues - especially systemic economic issues that have nothing to do with race.

This is exactly what I'm saying. The CIA is not the only secretive and corrupt organization. But the CIA is the only one that has no role--by design--in either law enforcement or legitimate military action. The Army might be secretive, but if you're in the Army, you wear a dog tag and an American flag on your shoulder. If you're in the FBI, you wear a badge and give testimony in court. If you're in the CIA, you illegally enter a foreign country, commit crimes there, and are not bound by laws of war or rule of law.

The CIA essentially operates outside the framework of all laws and doesn't have any sort of international standards. Even war--legalized killing--has the Geneva Conventions, laws of war, etc. The CIA just does whatever it wants, almost always violating the laws and sovereignty of a foreign country while doing so, with no public, legislative approval. What the military is doing in the middle east is secretive and abusive but there is, however broad, an AUMF on the public record saying why we're there. If a solider gets captured in a foreign country, we don't just pretend we didn't send them there. The CIA can just deny that it even operates there forever. That's what I mean by no oversight.
