Actually yes, I would propose that you opt-in to Autoplay as a whole. Make it a separate function that people can activate if they want to binge watch or whatever, but keep it off by default.

I have seen a good number of people who struggled with the Autoplay mode in presentations, either could not stop it in time or forgot about it and then had their presentation derailed by the next video. I've seen exactly zero people who actually wanted to use it.

Of course this is wishful thinking when the CEO's performance metric is to keep their users glued to the screen as long as possible.

> The move comes after Susan Wojcicki and other YouTube executives were criticized for being either unable or unwilling to act on internal warnings about extreme and misleading videos because they were too focused on increasing viewing time and other measures of engagement.
There are established theories of probability that have nothing to do with ergodicity. See for example:

Laplace - Théorie analytique des probabilités - 1812

Keynes - A Treatise on Probability - 1921

Jeffreys - Theory of Probability - 1939

Savage - The Foundations of Statistics - 1954

de Finetti - Teoria delle Probabilità - 1970

VGA worked well enough for more than a decade (and still does today)

My work laptop, an HP Elitebook, has only a Displayport for political reasons (HP wanted to push Displayport adoption). Do you know what presentation infrastructure has Displayport? Absolutely nothing. The world decided upon HDMI to be the de-facto-standard.

So I am stuck carrying dongles and adaptors around (which means I will never have the one I need on hand) - or, if I am very lucky, I get a meeting room with a Clickshare device (which works reasonably well, but might be unpopular with external colleagues because it means installing some piece of software onto your laptop)

I know how standards work ... but for the sake of it, we do not need another option that brings virtually nothing to the table.

It's fascinating how you're accusing others to be emotional instead of rational, while answering a post providing data for one specific question regarding wind power with an unspecific rant.
The last remaining excuse of advertisers: you wouldn't want something to happen to your favorite content? That would be a shame.

Yes, most people would not be "fine" if they lost their googles and youtubes and stack overflows. But then in a few weeks or maaaybe months they'd get over it, because none of these "free" services are in any way essential. Paid alternatives will pop up where needed.
Thanks for the updates! I had seen insertDestr in the table but ctrl-f didn't find any references to it, so I wasn't sure what it meant. Somehow I think I didn't manage to realize "Destr" meant "destructive" at the time, though it seems obvious in retrospect.
I also have an old ZBook 15 and must say I'm also pretty happy with it.

The weight is a massive pain, 3.3 Kg for mine, but on average I take it somewhere once every couple of months at most so I can live with it.

The big plus is that I haven't had to buy a new machine in close to 5 years and performance is on par with my Dell at work and certainly better that my crappy surface book 2 at my previous place.
I think there are several factors at play. First of all, the 737 MAX is getting scrutinized extremely thoroughly now. Whatever went wrong with the original certification, authorities are looking with extra attention so they are not missing anything this time.

Then I think, that as a consequence of the analysis of the two crashes, in general a better understanding of certain flight states has been reached. In the light of this better understanding, other bugs might be discovered which previously have been missed.
I guess it depends a lot on the question whether you call a short message about your neighbor's hairstyle or a photo of the food you are currently eating as "creation".

> But a balance is needed, so if they had a robot tax as many have raised and mooted in the past, then perhaps that could be used to find education, free recreational activities.

If you have a job that pays $20,000/year and you lose it to a robot, the silver lining is that the automation reduces the cost of living by $1000/year and so now you can take a different $19,000/year job with no reduction in quality of life.

A robot tax actually makes this worse. It doesn't inherently prevent the automation -- a $5000 robot that can replace a $20,000/year worker would still do so if a tax made the robot cost $10,000 -- but now to add insult to injury the displaced worker is paying the robot tax in the form of higher prices.

The underlying friction with automation is that it's non-uniform. A widget used to cost $1000, which was $600 manufacturing labor and $400 administrative overhead. Then the manufacturing gets automated and it becomes a $500 widget, but the proportion which is administrative cost has grown from 40% to 80%.

That's what puts the displaced worker in a bad position. If they have to take a job that pays less at the same time as their cost of living declines, everything is fine as long as the cost reduction is at least as much as the wage reduction. But if other costs are keeping prices high despite the higher efficiency from the automation, then there's trouble.

So they key is to make sure the efficiency improvements are largely uniform. And markets are generally pretty good at that -- if they're competitive and don't have their hands tied.

Which leads us to the real problem. Some industries are monopolistic or subject to ossified regulatory systems. So as the cost of everything else goes down, the cost of housing doesn't due to zoning rules, the cost of medicine doesn't due to regulatory requirements, etc.

The things that can't respond well to market forces become a larger proportion of the economy, which is observed as higher prices for those things relative to other things.

The solution has to be to get the cost of those things down as well.
Agreed. The French government did exactly this!

> Let's be adults here. This is SO, and I imagine you've used and enjoyed the use of their services just like the rest of us. Support them by letting passive ads sit on the edges of the page

If we're adults, lets also acknowledge that this relationship between me and SO is not really symmetrical and that forcing me as a user to accept privacy invading ads has a hint of blackmail in it. This is not about supporting the site's content. If they would introduce a paid service that lets me have the exact same site, but without ads, I would sign up in a second. Hell, my employer would likely want to foot the bill, so they wouldn't even have to be modest with their pricing.

Why is this not an option, I ask you. Why keep sites like this insisting on their surveillance model?

> and appreciate that they are actually trying to solve this issue.

It's very hard not to be cynical about this. They care about their image. I'm not convinced that they care about my feelings. They is absolutely no evidence for that.
I doubt that. If "the best and the brightest" wouldn't do it, the second best and second brightest would be asked. At some point, somebody will do it. Also, isn't Google already selecting for moral flexibility? I find it hard to believe that a principled developer would start at Google, much like a pacifist engineer wouldn't work at a Pentagon contractor. So they are getting the best and the brightest whose limits of what they won't do because of personal ethics don't include ad tech, surveillance etc.

I'm not so sure that education would help either, it's my impression that ethics is just individually set. Of the people that understand Kant's categorical imperative, some will act accordingly and others will ignore their knowledge because doing so gets them more money.
The backfire effect is obviously not universal, otherwise it would be impossible to teach for example Newtonian physics. So if you present strong enough proof people will change their minds.

I think the problem is that people don't really learn what a strong proof is, so when two people who each have a weak understanding of the topic tries to argue both will see that the other is ignorant but not that themselves are ignorant. After the discussion both will have correctly refuted a lot of claims from the other side, thus "strengthening" their own views. If this often happen to you then you are likely not as well informed as you think you are.

In short, I believe that "you can't reason someone into a position that you didn't reason yourself into" is true, while the popular "you can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into" is wrong.

Playing devils advocate. The consumer group has to make money from work, and in theory that work has to provide value to society. I think the amount of people doing creative pursuits has always been a minority, not everyone was a painter, writer or musician in the past which was partly why the art had value in the first place.

Is that the evil twin?
> robots is that you can also stop production instantly if demand goes down. You have much fewer costs when not at full capacity.

I think you have this exactly backwards.

In a highly automated factory the main cost is capital, i.e. the machines might cost decades worth of payroll. So having them sit idle is extremely expensive, or to say it another way, producing nothing saves you almost no money.

A low-automation factory is the opposite. Big traditional garment factories are basically just sheds with some tables. Almost all the cost is workers, and in many places & times you only hire them when you get a big order.

The automated garment-sewing machines (if we get there) can't do anything else. Factory robots aren't very C-3PO. Whereas the sweatshop workers can be assembling cellphones (or building rice terraces) next week.

Do you have a source for that? Young people have way more access to creation tools than ever before. Blogs (writing), memes (photo editing), vlogs (film creation), Instagram (photography)... Not to mention YouTube is the most incredible source of tutorials on just about every topic imaginable. The internet and smartphones have made all these cheaper/freer than ever before. Anyone with a creative itch has a ton of avenues to learn, share and monetize their creative interests. I find it hard to believe that young people are creating less than earlier generations.
So, we have:

> People aren't drones who watch something because it was shovelled into their watch next.

Actually, in this context, they are. If YouTube were content with people using recommendations as you describe, they could simply keep the sidebar list where you could click on one if you're interested. (or the recommendations that pop up after a video is played, or the home screen or the seemingly half dozen other places they show recommendations)

Instead, they implemented Autoplay mode, which basically works exactly like the force-fed drone model you described.
> To me that seems to indicate that we need to keep a record of why laws are made

Whether and why a practice is useful generally has little or nothing to do with people's understanding of whether and why it is useful. The arguments people advance for everything, including valuable things, are almost uniformly nonsense and easy to disprove.

So, a record of why laws are made wouldn't really serve any purpose.
Having worked on various sides of EHR, HIPAA is the biggest barrier. Every organization I've worked in had a compliance officer both on the client and customer side for this reason alone.

Even if you succeed in making past this barrier, the next barrier is finding clients as many are not willing to chance it on a new platform given unless they're a new practice themselves but often they want an organization that's already established. Though, given the overall satisfaction I've seen, it's ripe for the taking.

HIPAA and government regulatory compliance is the ghost that will next stop haunting you. That's why the business logic layer of so many applications is so obfuscated and runs extremely deep. Government compliance comes in waves of quarters with the first of the year being the biggest where everything has to be in place with a huge risk if there's a failure.

Though, it also goes without saying that healthcare IT is one of the largest targets. So there's that.

If your exit strategy is to get bought out, you're in luck as many of the big players readily consume any upcomers to maintain their death grip on the industry. They have virtually limitless capital to make it happen.

Despite having said this, it would be something worth contributing towards.
It is more complicated than this. Many do not have enough in their wallet to 'vote' based on their values.

If you don't give your kids smart phones you cut them off of people. It's a conundrum.

You will only be able to keep your kids off smart phones if you live in a community not using smart phones much for example the Amish. I think parents of the one percent could also create such a community for their children if they are diligent and choose the right private school.

My 6 year old son will go to a summer camp where smart phones are expressly forbidden. Not that I give him a smart phone but at least the older children won't have smart phones, too.

I believe fast boot relies on having a stable, on PCB storage device (eMMC or NAND) to ensure that the recovery method doesn't have any opportunity to get wiped / trashed. Using an SDCard doesn't ensure this and thus something in hardware would be needed instead.
Like everything on Brave it's all up to the user. First the user has to opt-in to this ad program. By default Brave simply blocks everything. If they opt-in then they will be able to see a number of ads per hour that they specify. Of these ads, 70% of the revenue will go straight to the user and 30% will go to brave. The user then decides how their coins will be spent. There are straight forward ways for users to support their favorite sites or content creators. So imagine you want to support site.com, you could choose to automatically donate some chunk of your tokens to it per month. From then on everything would be automatic, the user would just browse as normal, accumulate tokens, and the site would be compensated.

In my opinion this is also the ideal system since it removes the fundamental problem of advertising. And that is that when a company relies on advertising, their customer is no longer the people visiting their site - but the advertisers they make money from. This can lead to advertiser influence slowly creeping into every aspect of the site, including the content that is created. By directing the ad revenue to the user who then directs it to sites (at their discretion) it keeps the benefits of "free" sites, while removing all the nastiness that generally comes with ad-based revenue systems by untangling the relationship between advertiser and content creator.

Ask HN: What are the 3 programming books you learned the most from? Mine
Structure Interpretation of Computer Programs
- enough is said about it here. must-read.

The Algorithm Design Manual - Skiena
- a formidable way to learn algorithms and associated concepts. still challenging to read, but war stories offer great prose and I actually laughed several times. if you couple this book with Robert Sedgewick's online Princeton algorithms course you will be quite formidable with algos.

Designing Data Intensive Applications - Klepperman
- Mind blowing for me. Finally felt like I could reason about data-driven design by understanding modeling, stores, and distributed, as well as event-driven systems. Absolute must-read especially to fill the gaps if you don't have a CS degree.

These 3 have been above all the rest for me, would love to add another one to this list, please share!
It's amazing to me that an advert can run arbitrary javascript at all. It wasn't long ago that this would have been seen as a massive security risk by site owners and ad platforms alike. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that perhaps it's a structured service provided by the ad network, and the ad buyer just checks a box. But as a site owner even that would be too much for me.

I've been playing around with ideas about more ethical analytics and advertising, and I think they're pretty easily built platforms. But the question is are they marketable? Would GloboCorp and MarketingCo give up the ability to track consumers so closely in favor of a more ethical approach, or has it been too valuable for them to give up?
It's terrible on mac. I constantly have one monitor that just refuses to show content until I unplug/replug multiple times or open/close the laptop lid. It's really silly how long this has been a problem and Apple hasn't touched it.
"Corporatism" is a new word to me, so I'm inclined to agree that it's probably not a good idea to push for its use.

On the other hand, there are some much better established words for a close partnership between the state and a set of established major businesses: "crony capitalism" and "fascism".

"Fascism" isn't really a good idea either; in modern use it appears to be nothing more than a synonym for "badness".
Last time I worked in this industry (over a decade ago) sites like expedia didn't work through a GDS but hotels would explicitly put available stock directly into them, if they had 10 rooms availble they might put 5 on expedia, 2 on another site and 1 each on 3 smaller sites. So expedia only has to check it's own data and the prices typically didn't fluctuate intra-day. I was working on software to automate most of this process.
