> at least for desktop use-cases, what exactly is gained

No surprise there. Those aren't really for desktop use. Most "stable" distros users are servers.

If you are a desktop user you probably want your new shiny Firefox or LibreOffice as soon as possible, so you run either a six month cadence (Ubuntu, Fedora) or rolling (Debian testing, SuSE Tumbleweed, Gentoo). The latter can have a bit of light breakage for time to time so the six month cadence is probably a better fit for most casual users.
I've often thought that if everyone, or even a majority, said "no", then we could have better policies. As it is, I've been the only person at my last two workplaces to object, and there's no way they're going to put in the effort to work with me.

So it is that I've given permission to confiscate my personal cellphone in the case of a breach. Otherwise, I literally couldn't do my job -- not because of anything particular about our field or technology, but because it was easier to set things up the way they are. We could spend a few days changing our alert structures, etc, and no-one would have to have "sensitive" data on their personal phones. But that's not going to happen for one employee.
When I said exceptions, I mean there are articles which were actually coherent, well-researched and well-written pieces. But that's not the majority, in any publication.

I think the issue with gaming "journalism" is that it's supposed to be for the consumers so that they can do informed purchases, but since it's ad-funded by the industry they are reporting on, it tends to become a corporate mouth-piece.

Is saying, "the mass consumer market remains value-conscious" just a polite way of saying that Indians don't feel like wasting their hard earned money when pirating is easy?

Or is it that regular priced Netflix is a large enough portion of a normal Indian's income that they don't feel like they get enough to watch for their money?

Most of the people I know in America basically shrug off the price of Netflix as the cost of a few cups of coffee per month

I'm not sure what the right interpretation is, but they kind of lead to different business strategies. The first (easy piracy) is not really Netflix's problem to solve, it's the government's problem. The second (content for money) is either that Netflix needs to invest in more Indian shows or lower their prices even more.
Thank you for your contributions on VLC.

It shines bad light on the official institutions that they haven't checked back with you.
They're not trying to handle your climate. They're trying to build a taxi service in San Francisco.
Depends on the jurisdiction. I think there's a clear separation of work time and free time in most of Europe. Here in Finland an employee can never be forced to work over their daily working time (usually 7.5h between 8-5); doing so is always voluntary, though of course pressuring exists. For force majeure circumstances there's the legal concept of emergency work, but that's very rarely invoked.

For the vast majority of people html formatting is better and more efficient for their communication needs. Bold and highlighted text, section headers, tables and inline images are all very very standard and useful things to have in emails. These are not niche use cases.
How a game I made over the weekend amassed 2M downloads
Netflix was trialling the mobile only plans for a while and I have been using the weekly billed one (not sure if it's available with this update now) for RS.65. That's the best value for me - sign-up for a week for some new content once in a quarter or so. Otherwise, Netflix is way way behind others in India like you say.

What R&D does a payroll provider do? (Genuine question)
I used to have work email and slack on my phone. While it made some things easier (heading out in the work day and not blocking people who might need my input, for example), it also made me feel tethered. Slack in particular was very addictive to me (to be fair, not just work slack, but other slacks which I was on).

When I got a new phone, I simply didn't install the email or slack clients. It's led to occasional text messages, when I really needed to communicate with a team member, but all in all has been a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.
I wasn't really focusing on causation so much. People say a lot of things about who/what they are and what they value. But what they do is really a better determinant of that than what they say.
And we got along 'just fine' before computers were invented. Should we stop all progress because we don't really 'need' any new stuff we are inventing?
It'll be really entertaining when they make the law so strict beef that we learn that most "burgers" have too much egg, breading, or beef byproduct to count as a burger.
Isn't part of that problem how you define a "characteristic" (and thus, the combinations of them)? Because if it has k-anonymity for a certain set of characteristics, but you invent a new characteristic (based from combining info, datamining and perhaps other sources), the property doesn't necessarily hold any more.
Nope. Because fines are also based on companies' capacity to pay unless idea is to shutdown company and have majority or all employees jobless on street. So fines should be big enough to cause pain but not to cripple the company from operating.
Of course the failure could as well be on the Lisp / ANSI Common Lisp people. They had a concept 25+ years ago, and failed to promote it properly.

> What's bizarre is that beef burger makers see this as a threat worth addressing... like, nobody's accidentally buying veggie burgers.

I think that's exactly what they're worried about, though. There wasn't much chance of confusion before, so it wasn't a big priority. Now that vegetable alternatives like the Impossible "patty" are becoming indistinguishable from beef, they're more concerned. If McDonald's or some other giant purveyor of beef could switch and save money, they would. They're rightly worried about a loss of market as the meat alternatives get better at mocking the real thing.
The sad thing is that vapourware and the promise of technology to easily solve our problems has real impacts on delaying progress by other means.

Cars are the number one killer of children in America. Political action to reduce this number by redesigning cities to limit human/car interactions and providing safer transportation alternatives is stymied by opponents to who point to assuredly safe autonomous cars as being just around the corner.

On an unrelated tangent, the way the page formats when printing is one of the best I've seen. No weird navigation cruft, and it seems there's even a style defined that sets book-style margins, such that the left and right margins alternate in length.
That's all very well to be uninterested in AAA games, but they're the largest segment of games produced and on the back of this growth, the games industry has grown larger than music and movies combined revenue [1].

The indie portion of the games industry that will be 'perfectly fine' is a tiny fraction of the overall landscape. It's wonderful to live in an age where independent games projects can flourish, but the vast majority of people involved in the industry are going to be working in gruelling conditions on AAA titles that are largely responsible for the enormous growth the industry is seeing.

> In the end what happens is people use text overlays in the IMAGES in order to reply to each other.

Oh my god. At my work, HR likes their email super-formatted to a degree that's not portably achievable with even hand-written HTML. The solution someone once came up with? Their email consists of a single embedded image the size of a typical monitor. All text, all information is in that image. They also have a requirement for everyone to use their standard format for "professional" signatures in their own mail. Of course, those are also embedded images. In a discussion, with each reply of each person, the corresponding signature image is included.

I wish I could tell them that email only allows for plain text, but of course that's not the case.
Fantyde wants to help influencers monetize their following
It might be "easier and faster" to send an email than to, for instance, upload to a dedicated snippet manager, but literally everything after than that is slower and more difficult.
Hi! Creator of fantyde here. We're launching a platform to enable influencers to monetize their following beyond strategies like sponsored posts.

Influencers are an inventive crowd that work hard interacting with their fans and creating content. However, their monetization options are limited. The most common approach to monetizing a following after spending months/years working to build it is through pursuing brand partnerships. Advertisers will generally pay 4 figures for posts made by people with 500K to 1M followers.

We think that strategies beyond sponsored posts could present a huge opportunity for influencers to profit and for their followers to connect more meaningfully with them.

fantyde will allow influencers to offer a paid feed that their followers can subscribe to on a monthly basis to access exclusive content. fantyde acts as an extension of an influencer's Instagram/Twitter/etc. where their most dedicated followers can come to access more content.

Influencers set their own monthly subscription prices, and can interpret the opportunity however they want to (barring a few content restrictions). A few examples of premium content could be: exclusive recipes, daily video advice from an expert (e.g. a stock trader), a heartthrob offering access to more selfies, a digital nomad offering city guide videos, etc. Beyond the paid feed, we also want to build in complimentary capabilities like paid private messages and even 1:1 video chat priced by the minute.

We want to provide a medium for influencers to build revenue streams that compliment their core competency of creating original content and provide a solution to capitalize on the fact that their most dedicated fans want more of it.

I have never seen an email with a table in it, HTML or not.

Inline images are not useful, just attach them. Leave your giant signature with your company logo at the door.

What's left is section headers and bold text. Use asterisks for emphasis and # for section headers and you can communicate quite effectively. We seem to manage pretty well here on Hacker News without most of these features, wouldn't you say?
That should be highlighted more. Not using git sendmail is the problem, not format=flowed.

You could say that about criminalizing TOR. If you knew that by using TOR you were going to get swatted at 3am you'd probably stop using it. Same goes for encryption. The second any law is passed google/apple are going to pull apps; whatsapp etc are going to remove e2e (or alter it so the UI is the same but it can be snooped on) and criminals are going to have to figure out how to use PGP or whatever.
No one can force your to share information. Let's say your PIN code is 1324, and you suffer from stress induced transposia (just made that up). Every time you are asked to say or share your PIN code, you get stresses & use 1234, even though you meant to use 1324. There's no way make you say the correct PIN code. In a more realistic example, what are you going to do to someone who simply forgot their PIN code?

I question your distinction. Toxic behavior is largely caused by people not caring about harm caused to others.
I did a lot of network work early in my career (high school job at a small town ISP in the early 90's), and have read deeply about / waxed nostalgia for the Arpanet era ever since.

Networking now is as different from my ISP days as they were to the days of IMPs. It's remarkable.
If they really "fixed" the core problems at Facebook, Facebook would have to cease to exist. Their business model from the very beginning has been based on collecting highly intimate personal information from everyone and using it for Zuck's gain.

Tomorrow? Oh we let words not have meaning because we wanted people to eat more plants....now the word chickpeas can mean anything because... oooops.

Create unique product names that aren't lies. Let people seek them out because they taste good and they are better for them.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about how the FTC regulatory process works in cases like this, outside of securities and other financial instruments, the FTC has very little power to force legally binding fines upon companies.

What they do is issue settlements, Facebook agreed to this fine, and to the conditions surrounding it, because if they didn't they might face hard, law based regulation from Congress.

The issue here is, the FTC process relies on good faith from the companies it settles with, and Facebook has repeatedly shown to be a bad faith actor in this regard (which is why its a 5 billion dollar fine to begin with)

The only way this is going to end is with very onerous regulation from Congress.

I'd say it's a general trend in industry, similar to that in the 80's with their fourth generation languages.

It happens when the current programming languages fail short of solving the most difficult problems the industry faces and programmers explore some paradigms that solve them nicely, but those paradigms haven't been integrated into a single coherent platform.

This shift is pretty much happening with reactive functional programming - which solves asynchronous calls in the web -, and to some extent with large-scale module composition, which still lacks a good widely known solution.

If you look for example at this story, it is not about being unethical. More like leadership problems with coinbase.

I work from home/remotely. For years I've followed a simple policy. I don't use work devices for personal use, and I don't connect my personal devices to any work accounts. I've never had an employer that's had a problem with this, and the most I've ever heard is comments about how I'm just inconveniencing myself because I carry two phones, two laptops. But the reality is, it's been extremely beneficial when I've had to work in compliance sensitive companies for exactly the reasons listed here and then some, and it's a minor inconvenience.

If you're a tech worker you can afford to buy your own personal equipment for personal use. If the company needs you to have equipment to do work, they can purchase it for you. Simple as that.
