I'm 28 and spent a lot of my childhood playing video games (N64, GameCube and later Xbox 360) and reading. I still play video games and read as an adult (although much less often due to work and personal obligations). I have also gone through periods where I waste tons of time on social media.

Social Media is mostly mindless, it makes me think negative thoughts about my neighbors and friends, it makes me want to go out and spend money on things I don't need and I get caught in this cycle where I feel like I constantly need to check it. Fortunately, I recognize this and its not a problem any more but its a very easy trap to fall into.

Books and video games have never made me feel this way.
Well, he started it.
Yeah, it's not great. I figure not being able to display specific things is something people who really need to can work around, but not even being able to find things means surrendering information to the void.

Terrible article devoid of useful facts. Not that I'm defending amazon...it sounds like a terrible place to work. However, none of these deaths seems to be Amazon's fault. From the "dirty dozen":

● Andrew Lindsay and Israel Espana Argote, contract workers, died when the wall of an Amazon
warehouse collapsed during a severe storm in Baltimore in November 2018.

● Brien James Daunt fell to his death during construction of an Amazon warehouse in Oildale, CA in
January 2019. Falls from a height are a well-known – and preventable – hazard in the construction
industry, with long-established protocols to reduce risks. CalOSHA is investigating the incident.

● Aviators Ricky Blakely, Conrad Jules Aska and Sean Archuleta died in February when an Air Atlas
plane, carrying cargo for Amazon, crashed into Trinity Bay, southeast of Texas. Blakely and Aska
worked for Air Atlas and were members of the Airline Professional Association (APA), Teamsters Local
224. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident.

Indeed Stalin's first five-year plan, collectivization of farms, subsequent mass starvation, and forced-labor camps all happened in the 1920s and 1930s.

My generous interpretation is that was seen as an aberration, rather than a general rule planned economies later proved by USSR, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea.

Sorry, you are in so much pain. There is a lot of good advice in this thread.

A related story. I had lower back pain on my right side for almost 20 years. It was not as serious as to seek medical attention but there were days I felt it consistently while getting in and out of chairs or beds, sometimes acutely. A couple years ago I took up Functional Mobility training. During the functional movement screen they pointed out that I was favoring my right side more than the left because the right was stronger and that was likely causing the QL to pull and shorten the right leg and lead to lower back pain. A few trips to a massage therapist and corrective training to stregnthen the left leg made the problem go away for good.

We have body imbalances and mobility deficiencies because manufacturing defects ;) Lifestyle and environmental factors like sitting at a desk hunched up or tensing up the muscles in the neck in response to stress makes these deficiences worse. Almost all of us also favor the upper traps too much for everything from breathing to lifting/carrying and use the lower core sparingly or not at all.

FWIW, you should consider visiting a massage therapist/physio who specializes in functional mobility and works with trainers who can provide long term corrective training.

I hope you feel better!
Flash was arguably never part of "The Web" in the first place. Not the open web anyway. It's a proprietary technology with a single implementation controlled and developed by a single company (Adobe) which is now ending support for it.
It's unfortunately not AMD, but I recently got the 2019 ThinkPad X1 Carbon and love it. It was spendy (~$1300 for 512GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 1440p screen and 8th gen i7 w/ vPro), but the build quality is excellent, and battery life on Mint 19.2 x64 is insane (~13 hours web browsing @ 50% brightness).

Only negative is the Ethernet jack requires a $30 proprietary adapter from Lenovo. Apparently to keep the chassis thin they couldn't fit the full-size RJ-45 port.
Google Search needs to add an “advanced” mode or something. I’m sure their changes are increasing accessibility for most people, but the power user experience has definitely gone down.

On the other hand, there’s no profit motive there, so why would executives sign off on that.
I would think that it's the opposite. I think the kids with significantly less screen time to no screen time will be like the people who never learned to drive. Doing many things is more difficult for them unless they're rich.
I agree. On a tech forum the bias is to consider the internet a panacea.

Look at the US. We went from ~0% internet penetration in 1990 to 75% in 2017. How much have real wages changed since then?

We fantasize about an impoverished person learning a new skill, but it's not the reality.
> Yes, long term renters were the beneficiaries of the old model as it gave them a larger and thus cheaper supply of housing,

I am all for putting the interests of long-term residents of a city over short-term tourists.
Not an expert at all in this area, but if people are interested in statistics for people's financial habits, the Federal Reserve's most recent "Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households" [1] is useful.

It's a survey of about 10,000 people and, as far as I can tell, is the source for many claims like "40% of American adults cannot meet an unexpected $400 expense". That statistic in particular is consistent for the past few years.

There are also many other interesting statistics:

* 17% of adults are not able to pay all of their current month's bills in full

* 20% of adults had major unexpected medical bills in the last year

* Among young adults, hispanic people are twice as likely to attend for-profit colleges than white people, and black people are five times as likely

* Half of those who attended for-profit schools would change their choice if they could; a quarter of those who attend other schools would

Seems like addressing the costs of medical care and education would go a very long way.

It should be noted that the author of the article did not mention "Fake News" or trolls, and at least half of his point w/r/t privacy was how to prevent and deal with data breaches.

I was rather relieved to read through this article and not hear anything about the 2016 election.
Considering how the brain seems to process words when reading ('glancing in context' more than analyzing each letter), I'm pretty sure the length of words does not make reading much longer. Writing is another matter but with auto-predict you could probably shove half the typing off on average.

As a software engineer and cousin of Stitch, Hawaiian gets my vote! :handclap:
I would argue that writing code is equivalent to writing, in general. As in prose, you're exploring a subject known to you. You've though about the problem at hand, you've come up with a solution after a lot of going back and forth, you're now trying to impart this knowledge to other humans. As such, you have to be clear about what you're saying, going straight to the solution and not go round the thought and cover it up. That is, if you actually do have something interesting to say about it, and you're not thinking about gaining likes or money or fame from it.

I've seen some projects lately with many people involved and months or years of development time invested in them, that I, an average programmer at best, was able to solve with a few days work and with at least an order of magnitude less paper used.

[..]they put what they have to say into forced and involved language, create new words and prolix periods which go round the thought and cover it up. Moreover, they write down words, nay, whole periods, which mean nothing in themselves, in the hope, however, that some one else will understand something from them.

I've seen comments and READMEs, for example, that have the exact same attitude to them, that is, they are written in the hope that someone else will understand them but the writer actually didn't, he doesn't understand why the project might be useful to someone else. I've seen big frameworks used, tests conceived, build methods and CI implemented but where the actual substance of the project was missing. Dozens of git branches and complex merging good-practices for projects with at most a few thousand lines of code and 2 or 3 developers only because someone else might look at it and see what a good job we've done. These projects usually don't solve much, but they sure talk a lot about how nice it is and how it will solve lots of problems for its users.

Nothing else is at the bottom of all such endeavours but the inexhaustible attempt which is always venturing on new paths, to sell words for thoughts, and by means of new expressions, or expressions used in a new sense, turns of phrases and combinations of all kinds, to produce the appearance of intellect in order to compensate for the want of it which is so painfully felt.

As years go by, I really feel that one, if not the most important skill in this field, is knowing how to write, how to cleanly and clearly express your thoughts that you yourself have about the problem and your ideas about the solution.
Sorry 'film-makers', you do not get to control what happens on my personal devices. You might be able to control the theater experience but you can't control me. If you think you can control me then you can keep your crap. You may have leverage over Netflix but I don't really need Netflix anyway. The more you try to control me the less I want anything to do with you. Its my choice to watch your film as you intended, or not.

To be clear, I haven't seen or used this feature. But 'film-makers' asserting control over my personal environment and choices is offensive. Apatow's films will not be shown on my devices - enjoy being ignored, Judd.
That's not a problem with the Internet though, that's a problem with humanity!
Also, you can't just reuse the same colors for syntax highlighting in dark mode. Saturation needs to be turned down compared to light mode or everthing looks like a mess of colors.
There actually is a technical advance here; I just don't know enough about it to discuss intelligently (sorry). I would reach out to the researchers involved if interested.
And yet every time I post about what worked for us, and links to code we give away and clearly articulated vision for next 2 years, it’s downvoted on HN silently with no explanations. I have come to expect it. Not soliciting anything — sales, investors, etc. Just trying to give away stuff to those who can benefit.

Of course, I am happy to learn why this is not welcome on Hacker News. Someone already down voted this particular comment. I am not opposed to getting more information, but a silent down vote doesn’t tell me very much.
it's proprietary, but SecureCRT works awesomely in that sense.

You can decide to just write commands in the common panel and relay those commands to all ssh connection in the current window. When you're done, you can just stop the relay and it becomes back a regular tabbed ssh client (with a lot of features).
this is good for a few servers - but its sequential nature will become onerous if for example you needed to run something that took 10 minutes on 100 hosts.

ansible ad-hoc commands do almost exactly what you do but in a more scalable fashion

What randomisation can and cannot do
It's tough, the internet is so open that there are people out there that are having trouble separating hoaxes/fake news with the real news. The spread of these fake news are even way faster than the "old media".

You need to be a little bit tech literate in order to navigate the internet.
I think this is one of the most misleading articles I have seen on the front page of hacker news. First of all, being on OSHA's "dirty dozen" does not imply you are one of the most dangerous workplaces. And the report this article is based on cited 6 deaths in the past year - 3 from an airplane accident, 1 from construction, and 2 when a warehouse wall collapsed. 6 deaths in a year is very few at Amazon scale, especially when they are counting people who aren't actually employed by Amazon directly. And I don't think any of those deaths, except maybe the last two, can be attributed to Amazon.
Shigeru Miyamoto honoured with Japan culture award
There is, but it doesn't work very well or at all depending on your source flash file.
I'm sure there will be, there are a few implementations/emulators out there. Gnash, Shumway, Lightspark, and Ruffle. Ruffle seems to be pretty promising, it's being worked on by Newgrounds people and it's written in Rust to target the desktop and WASM. It looks like they can do animations and audio now, and they're working on the various versions of ActionScript.
> I would strongly recommend keeping the typing to a bare minimum

Agreed.

> and do all your work inside a well tested script

At a minimum, with `set -ex` at the top. But I've stopped using (ba|fi||t?c)?sh scripts and switched to standard Makefiles for all my deployments. It requires changing the way you would normally code/script actions or interactions, but you get deterministic results.
I think there's a valid argument to be made that anything you would use an interactive session for on multiple servers at once is better done as an interactive session on one server, formalized into some rules of what to do (even if just a bash script with a bunch of grep and sed commands), tested on another server, and that should then be run on lots of servers at once (or better yet, batched into groups of a reasonable amount to check nothing went wonky).

In the words of the venerable DevOps Borat[1], "To make error is human. To propagate error to all server in automatic way is #devops."

That same operator that brought down their own equipment for some apparently nefarious reason?
I don’t think that’s entirely fair. There are certainly a large number of people in Silicon Valley and San Francisco who are passionate about building technology and products. I can’t imagine nearly as many are as passionate about trading derivatives or whatever.
Headline is deceptive. There is no objective metric of "most dangerous" here. The list is a list of "employers that an activist group wants to make noise about."

Does Amazon have problems to address? Absolutely. Is it "most dangerous"? Absolutely not.

It's farcical to claim that Amazon is a top-12 most-dangerous place to work.

Here's a real list:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/careers/2018/01/09/work...

#1 Logging: 100 per 100K annual death rate.

#13 Construction labor: 25 per 100K

#25 HVAC 8 per 100K

That's over dozen job types, encompassing many more employers.

Amazon warehouse: 10 per 100K+: ~10 deaths / 100,000+ warehouse employees (I can't find a clear number of full-time-equivalent, but Time says "300K employees", World Socialists say 125K warehouse workers in 2017)

USA unintentional injury death rate: 50 per 100K

USA heart attack death rate: 100+ per 100K

USA heart disease death rate, age 45-64: 150 per 100K

What made Flash AMAZING was its authoring environment. Scripted multimedia content (via SWF) I could run and share in the browser in 1998! The first time I ever bought software was Flash 4. Watching, then sharing animations probably caused me to go to Art school. It was incredibly impressive stuff back then.

I just to make or consume that sort of content anymore though. I couldn't even tell you how to do it using HTML, or how to author it. Speaking of school,

<aside>I remember when I signed up for a Director course (Director!), and it was re-done into an advanced internet art class, and all I did was hand in HTML/Javascript assignments. I failed the class, as I worked on all that stuff during my job, the teacher didn't know anything about the tech, and I was inundated with questions on how to do cool stuff. </aside>
> A POSIX second corresponds to 1/(24 * 60 * 60) of a day. An SI second is defined using atomic time measurement.

I don't think that is quite accurate. Traditionally Unix Time seconds are SI seconds, that tick in sync with UTC and atomic clocks (modulo clock error). To account for leap seconds, Unix Time has traditionally been discontinuous when a leap second occurs. Each second that ticks is still an SI second, but the sequence of Unix Time around a leap second will be X-2, X-1, X, X, X+1, X+2, etc.

This discontinuity means that every Unix Time day has exactly 86,400 seconds cumulatively, even though some days tick 86,401 elapsed SI seconds. So it is true that computing a difference between two Unix Time values does not give you a reliable measure of how many SI seconds have elapsed, as you say. But the individual seconds are still all SI seconds.

More recently it has become popular to smear the leap second instead. Google pioneered this approach in 2008 (https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/time-technology-and-...) and now advocates making it standard (https://developers.google.com/time/smear). This approach does vary the actual length of a second during the 24 hours surrounding a leap second. But this doesn't come from POSIX, it's a departure from previous practice that is designed to avoid a discontinuity.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I'm fairly new to programming, development, Linux, the command line, etc etc, and so am always on the lookout to learn something new. My day job is web development, but I'm looking for something that I really want to dive deep into. Email seems to be a whole universe of its own! From what you've said, maybe I'll try it once to learn a bit more someday, but for now I'll let sleeping dogs lie and keep G Suite as my custom domain email host. Thanks again!

right, but the rate of dissipation would be a huge problem for the additive technique described in this article. Plus the lack of gravity means that the molten metal would adhere to the existing component very very differently. Essentially it would mean designing the process from scratch - with almost no ability to test on earth during the design process. Not sure how effective computer modelling is for that type of thing :)

That phrase is doing a lot of work
Plenty of places drop down staff. Taco bell cuts down to a staff of 2 during the night shit. However, if there is any sort of rush on food, it all breaks down.
>Amazon’s high productivity quotas forces workers to pee in bottles to avoid bathroom breaks and risk injury working with the automated machines and robots — one of which sent 24 workers to the hospital after spraying them with concentrated bear repellent — which are stripping away human jobs and leaving those who are left in danger.

These jobs are difficult and dangerous and pay poorly and under no circumstances should a human be deprived of this terrible birthright.
It's actionable by passing laws that limit the upside executives can extract from capital investments and raise minimum wage on large business. There will always be unexpected expenses, so you have to pay people enough to be able to save.

Much better than making people dependent on those who control the mechanisms for allegedly limiting unexpected expenses; that's just a plan for increasing social control available to elites. High density housing with shared kitchens and bathrooms sounds like a dystopian hellhole designed to strip people of their dignity, and that's something you think is a good thing? We already saw tenement buildings in the 19th century.
This entire post was just to highlight that his wife went to Harvard.

So I hate defending Amazon, but the article cites the "National Council for Occupational Safety and Health" which is not affiliated with the government despite having a name very similar to the CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The list also seems pretty subjective for what qualifies as the most dangerous.
Funny, in France there's also the same kind of manipulation to reduce the official unemployment. And that for all people who stopped being considered unemployed, only a minority had actually found a job (I saw that figure a few years ago, so it might have changed, but I doubt it).
...and the closed, proprietary authoring tool
I would wager these unflintchingly ethical telcos are bideing their time on this one. The beancounters are probably salivating about ideas such as this one from a few years ago:

"In Portugal, with no net neutrality, internet providers are starting to split the net into packages," he wrote.
