Stack Overflow has a much smaller version of Wikipedia's God-complex moderator nerd problem, where some people with no life moderate and focus on their own vanity metrics rather than the quality of what they moderate.

I feel like apple focuses on intuitiveness for a basic non-power user. But they are okay with adding more complexity that power users will know but are hidden from discovery.
Are gestures a hard requirement to use the functionality? I already hate their replacing the home button with a gesture that fails 9/10 times to switch apps. Really ruins the ability to use the os for multitasking.

I mean the Saudis have been commuting war crimes in Yemen, Iran may've supplied some equipment, but I certainly think the Yemenis would be motivated enough themselves.

Thanks Tim! I definitely second your observation that there's room and reason for plenty of tools in this space. DVC probably belongs in your list too: https://github.com/iterative/dvc. Looking forward to checking out Open Images.
You're right, keeping keys in SRAM and other trivial anti-tamper measures are way too expensive. Cutoffs are performed by the same IC. Should be trivial.

This was a business decision for sure. Apple doesn't want anyone but Apple to work on their devices. Now maybe you can say that alone is good for resale, but it's extremely shitty for customers, especially when their attitude is to tell people they need a new board and all their data is gone when a repair, often even a simple one is entirely possible.

High school drop out turned software engineer here. I never had any success with these sort of programs. My advice is pick a hard problem (to you) and stick with it until you've solved it. Rinse and repeat. Eventually you will be pretty good at solving problems.
>im more asking why we are blaming "technology."
reply

No one is blaming technology with a broad brushstroke, hence the article suggesting a "PBS for Social Media", if social media was painted as inherently bad, they wouldn't be proposing and alternative platform. It was you who originally extrapolated some judgement on social media to Hacker News and Email. I was simply suggesting there are certain concerning behaviors social media giants engage in that clearly are not applicable to HN or Email as a whole. Not sure how you again extrapolate that to blaming technology.

>is addictive design ux harmful tech or an attack on human psychology and behavior?

Attacking human psychology and behavior through addictive design is harmful, especially when its successful and done at scale.

Just as allowing corporations behind harmful and addictive products (tobacco) to attack human psychology and behavior...such as marketing tobacco as "cool" to children using cartoons as they historically did. Are cartoons bad? I guess they could be. Is marketing to children bad? Maybe, we need more information. Are tobacco products harmful? It took nearly 50 years of litigation, but the answer is a resounding yes, tobacco products are harmful to health.
Not in his recent roles. His focus was on execution at Rackspace, plain and simple.
The children aren't choosing to do so.

Also, it's not illegal if you're filing an asylum claim (which most are).

> In a world that respects free speech, you would be more empowered to criticise authority, not less.

Sure, I guess. In this case, as far as I can see, Stallman's coworkers' speech about his terrible behavior led to him resigning. Nothing wrong with that.

> You're basically saying that Stallman’s speech must have consequences otherwise the little guy might face consequences by criticising him.

I'm nowhere close to saying that. The "little guy" is already facing the consequences I delineated, as this thread shows. Speeches have consequences, both Stallman's and anyone's.

> But the pro free speech crowd are advocating for a world where you and stallman criticise each other harshly, but both get to keep your jobs, it being a strong norm that whoever calls for the other to lose their job over speech automatically loses the argument.

The thing is, this presupposes that each other's speech or criticism is equivalent, which it isn't. A creepy remark is not equivalent to a criticism of that remark - I really didn't think I'd have to spell this out. If someone is being creepy towards coworkers and subordinates and this behavior continues for years, then yes, this should have consequences - up to and including the person in question losing their job, depending on the severity. Calling for someone to be fired shouldn't lose someone their "argument" if the person should be fired.

There's some equivocation here that this is some sort of intellectual academic dispute that led to him resigning. It isn't. It's reports of his creepy behavior, not two people "criticising" each other.
Then why not call an election with a one line bill to ensure it happens prior to 31st October?

The 'kidnapped' Caravaggio
Here's one of the studies quoted, centring on adolescents' propensity towards getting addicted to online games: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6234325/?mod=ar....

These studies don’t claim to say anything deeper about either gender's innate predisposition towards certain behaviours, only that the populations they studied behave in particular ways.

The data should be used to focus efforts in things like, for example, preventing online gaming addiction or preventing feelings of inadequacy from using social media, but I think it's folly to extrapolate the findings to make any larger scale statements on society at large.
I'll give you an example. I have several family members and friends who have been in unions or who are in them.

A friend went to work at a company a few years ago. The copier was broke. They had to get a union guy out to verify that before they could get a new one. They then ordered a new copier. It arrived, but they had to arrange for union people to get it moved to their office. When the union movers saw that the dead copier was plugged in, they stopped what they were doing and left. It turns out they needed a union electrician to come out and unplug the printer. The office manager made sure that everyone in the office would keep their hands off the copier and not unplug it because they would likely be fired unless a union electrician did it. The union electrician showed up a week or so later and unplugged the copier. They then had to get the union movers back out to put the new copier in place and remove the old one. Then, they had to get the union electrician out to plug the new one in. This whole thing took several weeks.

My friend left the company and that company is now out of business, one reason being that they could not compete.

Unions go to extremes to protect jobs and find ways to unionize shops through intimidation. They prefer "card check" voting instead of secret ballots, because they can tell who voted which way. In Illinois, they even forcibly unionized people taking care of family members in their own homes.

The iphone’s hardware is commodity or worse—they give you basically no choice for form factor or functionality beyond the disk size. You buy it for the software.
Not arguing with your overall point, but I don't think your use of the term "real world" is appropriate.

Clearly many people are using iPads in the real world for all sorts of things and are satisfied with the results. You mean "laptop/desktop like things" which is a reasonable comparison to make, for the small subset of people who want that kind of functionality. But to say that that stuff is "real world" while other uses cases are not is condescending.

It's like the people who say MacBook pros "aren't really designed with pros in mind". I've written over a hundred thousand lines of code for work on MacBook airs and plain old MacBooks which are just great for my particular work flow. Doesn't mean I'm not a pro, any more than it means that people who need a larger machine to run Xcode etc are more pro, or less pro, than I.

I don't mean to harsh on you but I do think this is an important point.
Every 20 years another company takes out long term debts when credit is cheap. It always crashes and it always brings its business partners with them. This should be unlawful and we need gov't organizations to never allow this type of risk to be taken.
This argument (accidentally) completely aligns with mine - this manifesto makes no distinction between complex and simple applications.

There were plenty of applications in the 80s that could not render a full screen in that timeframe. That did not stop those applications from being useful.

The children are not choosing to do so in any meaningful sense, no. But anyway, most of the families are filing for asylum, which is legal. They aren't entering illegally; they are filing for asylum at the border. We're the ones choosing to cage them instead of treating them more humanely.

And it's not sensationalist to speak the truth. There are plenty of photos and videos. We are actually doing this.
I think maybe the hard way will be gene-edited phytoplankton and overcoming efficiency bottlenecks in photosynthesis, such as by introducing bacterical carboxysomes into plants to make RuBisCO more efficient, or by making plants use C3 in the midday leaves higher on the plant and C4 everywhere else, or by replacing chlorophylls with versions that respond to different wavelengths of light.

The problem with buttons is that they’re visual clutter once you learn the gesture. This is a yet unsolved problem with making an interface discoverable but having it disappear once discovered without having two separate UIs.

Don't move out of desperation, though, with no clear head. Moving costs energy (and money) as well. So be sure, that the new place is a better fit for you.

On the other hand .. do not overthink it. If you find a new place and it feels good - do it.

I moved this year with my pregnant wife from hell to maybe not paradiese, but pretty close, compared to the last place. It was a very sudden decision, quite close to birth and then action, action, action.

But it was worth it, staying in the safe, but miserable comfort we had there .. it would have been misery.

Peak Oil as a concept for production in a conventional reservior makes sense. It's on a time frame/size that makes sense. Reserves are not explicity capacity based, reserves are heavilly economically based. As price increases you get more reserves despite having produced oil. This, in addition to technological changes, allows for increased reserves and is why global peak oil as a concept is a bad predictor. Global peak oil was originally predicted to be 1970's.

> Merit admissions give the legacies legitimacy. Legacy admissions give the superhumans opportunity.

On initial inspection, this seems like a really sensible explanation.

Unfortunately, it does not match reality. Studies show that those who get into top schools and don't attend do as well as those who do get in and attend. In other words, the admissions itself serves as an indication that this person is top-notch and capable of great things.

With this in mind, legacy admissions does nothing other than to help the legacy students network with the merit students. Merit students clearly get no benefit. Thus, the only conclusion is that merit students exist so that legacy students can continue to uphold their family's hegemony.

My (female) SO is a huge fan of the Sims, which must be as close to social media as you can get in video games. So there's some stuff out there for girls.
I can't wait for the incessant fund-raisers on sign-on ala wikipedia and terrestrial PBS. It's easy to think this is the best model but that is the price.
SO is a social media site. So I think it makes more sense for a company like LinkedIn, Facebook or Condé Nast.

LinkedIn is making bank with its subscription tiers. So they’d do a good job, financially speaking, of doing the same thing with SO. Large companies and recruitment services will be able to buy premium subscriptions to see who is doing what on the platform. Professionals will pay $50/month to have better access and limit access to non-paying members.

EDIT: Oops. Now I know that Microsoft owns LinkedIn.
Get in on one of the many EU startup programs. There are some people who specialize on filling up the papers exactly as the bureaucracy wants it.

I can tell you how to make a year's supply of charcoal in a couple of hours. Or, how to use a knife to make a writing quill from a feather, and how to make a lifetime supply of ink from household materials.

Making a pencil is a highly fragmented industrial process, even at the 19th century level. Just making the "lead" is quite sophisticated.

There is much satisfaction in being a maker - or at least being more than just a consumer.
Corporate governance problems aside, they have major cash flow problems relative to debt obligations and are also losing money. One could argue the demand is there because the price is artificially low.
>All of this goes to show that there is very little evidence of any sort of over-prescription of opiates in America.

Ridiculous. It certainly does not, in any way, shape or form. Your "analysis" also excludes the very clear evidence that people get hooked on opioids from prescription pills and transition to black market products like fentanyl.

"The volumes of the pills handled by the companies climbed as the epidemic surged, increasing 51 percent from 8.4 billion in 2006 to 12.6 billion in 2012. By contrast, doses of morphine, a well-known treatment for severe pain, averaged slightly more than 500 million a year during the same period." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/six-takeaways-...
There's always a stop, yes, but there's not always a stop of the whole world, which is my point. "Stop the world" implies (if not outright definitionally means - explies?) that the execution of all threads (lightweight or otherwise) stops while the garbage collector runs - e.g. that of (the official/reference implementations of) Python and Ruby.

Erlang doesn't require stopping the world because every Erlang process is isolated from the others (no shared state at all, let alone mutable shared state). I don't know off-hand how Perl avoids it.
Geely's Volvo is solidly a luxury proposition. I see people cross-shopping Volvo and Porsche SUVs.
You make very good points. The simple fact is that claiming you can transition from being uneducated to educated in any field or in general in a few months watching youtube videos is absurd. People who claim such a thing is possible are claiming something on the scale of an educational space elevator.

There are however alternatives to traditional college that are effective. One example is EDeeU Education (https://edeeu.education). There you can study with people like Clemens Ley (https://edeeu.education/director/clemensley) an Oxford PhD in theoretical computer science and now blockchain entrepreneur. You work through a detailed curriculum over a number of years. It's not the same as traditional college, but for people who are working or have a family and might want more flexibility of schedule, it's a good thing to look at.
I'm with you, these are fine for learning to program for fun / hobby, but they don't constitute something as solid and foundamental as a proper 3-4 of consistent learning. Also general courses have a proper role to play in one's education, so that even if you're very specialized, you have general knowledge that inevitably comes handy in some situations in life. Moreover there is a certain well-roundedness, knowledge wise, that comes from such an education.

When you're on the other side of the table, interviewing candidate, it is as if you can spot them without even looking at their resume. They have a certain profile.

In many respects kubernetes is just a really nice piece of marble to start with, you still have to carve your statue.

If certain tooling was built-in they would be making stack-specific subjective decisions for you, which is somewhat antithetical to the kubernetes model.

They'll make critical operational decisions for you (e.g. core competencies like scheduling work across a pool of resources), but when it comes to supporting tooling, you still have to make some decisions on your own.

For a lesser burden, there are most likely helm charts or other prepackaged log aggregation tools out there.
This is about a different crime more recent than that.
Sigh. Straw man. Actually I'm a student of ancient history and have many concerns about China, but love living here as it's a fascinating place and a great environment for hardware technology development, macro-level progressive, plus if you place any credence in Musk a glimpse of the future. The point is, if you look at any long living empire, saber-rattling doesn't expand as fast or leave the same legacy as cultural expansion and integration. China's got the upper hand there. One should view B&R as a diplomatic move toward influence expansion. Whereas, I've read that US's stated goal is to be viewed as an irrational military actor as a 'force multiplier', with rapid global military strike capability. US imprisons a huge percentage of its population, China just shoot them. Neither are great options. Of course, if the world were to adopt a scientifically supported penal strategy of rehab like Scandinavia, we could be happy little capers on one big open sandwich. Then get eaten.

I really think China is the future, very impressive. - Elon Musk (2019)

> I want to see some data to back up this claim.

I'll try to get some, but do a thought experiment: What component of, say, a solar panel cost is not energy?

> I guess you'd need energy to make up >90% of the cost to make it "pretty much a wash"?

Yes, and it is.

Not in terms of you have to pay oil companies all that money, but rather that energy is the multiplier that all prices are based off of.

If oil costs go up, then your suppliers costs go up, all the way down the chain. Including salaries - since the workers need more money to buy stuff, they want higher salaries.

Think about what is costs to make something, every single thing, at it's endpoint costs energy.
