That's an excellent tl;dr which ought to be clearly comprehensible to HN users.

So basically it's cringey to see stereotyped behavior. Because the fools are behaving just like bots. And they're easy to trigger and manipulate. So it becomes a game, in many communities.

But then, thoughtful introspection reveals how much of ones own behavior is predictably scripted.

That's a major component of Landmark Education's work. To help you see the scripting in your behavior. And to learn how to catch it before it get's expressed.

It's not like it's ever going away. Because it's part of being human. But you can develop a level of consciousness above all that machinery.

For example, there are paired exercises where people troll each other as hard as they can. Nothing is out of bounds. So you get to see what triggers you, and how you respond to it. But it's a safe space, with trained moderators around, in case people lose it.

Back in the day, before we got so fragile, there were exercises where participants faced each other wearing just bathing suits. Maybe 200 people in a large room, in lines about 20 people in each line. And the lines got shuffled, so everyone got to spend maybe 10 minutes silently "being with" everyone else.

This was during a retreat. After 2-3 days of ~15 hours per day in sessions, healthy meals, and no coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol or other drugs. And only 4-6 hours sleep, with morning exercises and running. I guess that you'd call it "boot camp" today.
I worked on a predictive maintenance project on the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle in a previous job. It was eye opening to say the least.
I work at a company that intersects finance and healthcare.

Our competitors to dominance through smart acquisitions, but this came at a fixed linear or super-linear operating cost per unit of growth. We are growing by identifying abstractions, and incorporating the new markets into existing ones.

Their method was the best way to quickly grow a company to a national scale in the 60s, but it comes at the monotonically-increasing costs of internal coordination and duplicate work. Software allows you to grow gracefully, while avoiding those problems as they appear.

As an example, we analyze inbound calls by volume every quarter to identify how we can anticipate user needs, and solve them ahead of time, without requiring a phone call (thereby improving the client's UX and saving operating cost). Every year, we reduce our call volume while simultaneously increasing our client headcount and improving the tools that are at our team's disposal. That kind of iterative optimization isn't possible at the big conglomerates.

Look for industries that haven't figured this out yet, those are the ones where the money will be made; Stripe is a good example of this playing out in finance.

The key for reading HtWFaIP is to understand and practice sincerity.

"The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made."
- Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux

Don't be that person. Cultivating genuine sincerity is part of your own self-respect. If you genuinely do that, you can safely read HtWFaIP.

Apparently Iran is one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) countries when it comes to gasoline and utilities prices. Everything is subsidized in the country! They are lucky that their economy hasn't collapsed already considering it is a big country with 80m+ population.

And they have smuggling issues to neighboring countries for a long time.

> According to Iranian counter-smuggling authorities, 17 percent of daily fuel production equivalent to some 40 million liters (10.6 million US gallons) were being smuggled out of the country every day in 2009. This is while most of the smuggling concerns gasoline and diesel fuel, whereas Iran imports both of these to the tune of 30 million liters (7.9 million US gallons) every day. Smugglers are using "lakes of fuel", underground pipelines to neighboring countries and oil tankers.

I think the other listed advantages of microservices also aren't entirely serious. "Easier deployment than monoliths" are you sure? "Polyglot persistence" why is that a good thing? "Scalable" no idea what it means. "High performance" now you're just messing with me.

In my experience, you can have a huge binary doing tons of things that's nevertheless quick to build and run. And it will be easier to step through, which is super important.

America was already prone to binge drinking.

Also, public transit also reduces drunk driving, so it’s hardly unique to taxis.

The person who showed me how to do it said, "If you've done it right, you should be able to do this"; and with the coiled microphone cable in one hand, she held one end with her thumb and tossed the rest of the coil outwards. It uncoiled in the air and landed in a straight line, no tangles or knots.

Basically, if you do this: 1) The cables are less likely to be damaged, 2) the cables are a lot more 'weildy': they don't get tangled in interminable knots, and expand very easily. The cables themselves remain looking nice as well, and don't get ugly kinks in them.

Agreed, federated instance is a way better solution than Twitter blocklists. In fact, I think Mastodon was designed to combat such extremists from day one, so even with the alt-right’s foray into the fediverse things will go at least better than Twitter.

No it doesn't. The Tim Burton movies were also campy and they reveled in it. Also, the point isn't about whether the movies are campy or not but simply that we're at the point where you can show superheroes on screen believably. Even Burton's Batman had to use fake penguins and matte paintings to try and make Gotham seem real and it still looks wooden and lifeless.

I would say that Raimi's Spider-man (though not fully) and Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy pushed us into the age of superhero believability and popularity.

It's the difference between Lou Ferrigno being painted in green makeup lifting up cardboard and foam vs. a fully realized Hulk that matches what was originally in the comic books in ferocity and strength.
>”It’s economically productive for the 1% to maintain a trade relationship with China. The financial incentives don’t help any Americans, and in fact, most of us are hurt by this relationship...”

So true, since its inception with GHW, its execution and realization through Clinton and then once fully engaged the timid, supplicant responses from GW and BO, China has contributed to the stagnation of the blue collar worker on America with the full complicity of Democrats, Republicans and most of Industry and even unions who didn’t oppose their cozy politicians. They all only saw starry dollar signs...

That’s where we are now. People have had enough. That’s why they put up with the guy no one likes because he’s willing to sever that codependent relationship.

Now, if you ask any pol running for the nomination who the greatest threat to America is... it’s not going to be China...

Not by those standards but, by believability and realism standards, it definitely is. The difference is that the Flash TV show is one of the shows that knows exactly what it is and when it's campy and it leans into that instead of trying to play it straight.
Companies absolutely hate bad publicity. Also, what have you got to lose at this point. Good luck.

If anything the threat to Android developers is much worse, because of Google's habit of banning entire google accounts for any infraction.

Recently, hundreds of people had their entire Google accounts banned (with that ban upheld on appeal) because they were sending a lot of emotes (By request!) to a streamer's chat.

These people lost everything. Emails. Everything in their Google Drive. Over totally normal behaviour.

Using a separate Google account to do your app development doesn't help, because they ban accounts they suspect to belong to the same person as well.

So yes, the danger exists for Android developers too, and is much larger in scope.

The conversation about China has shifted from being relatively peaceful during the Obama years to war like today.

The author of this article doesn’t understand how the presidential bully pulpit slowly changes the national conversation to war.

Not to say that China isn’t violating human rights. They are. But we, the Americans, are the ones who started this fight by goading them on.

Also: the crux of the argument in this article is “trade is bad for the little guy because our jobs are gone” which is one of the memes our political establishment is using to get us interested in war.

Dear author, can you go deeper into why trade is bad for anyone other than the 1%? Something beyond a ramble and some half baked repetitions of what we hear every day?

He is one man giving his opinion on what the opposing side was thinking during a debate over thirty years ago. The FDA likely had legimate reasons to continue their fight, they aren't actively hoping people can't see.

For people new to the Ergodox, and as others have mentioned, this isn't required for use of the EZ.

I have two Ergodox-EZs, one at work and the other at home. For those interested, here's my setup: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/Eej0Z/la...

If you're interested in the Ergodox, I do recommend really spending some time with the configurator the first month and keep iterating and practicing with it. It starts out slow, but now I'm as fast, if not faster on it than my old layout. And I'm always able to add new features. Just reading this comment section, I realized I missed my ten-key, so I threw a new layer together on an unused key to get a ten-key setup.

One of the major things I've learned using it is to configure with mnemonics in mind. For my ten-key setup, I was tempted to put the 789 where 'yui' are, but I opted to put 789 over 'uio' because then I could remember that the ten-key's top row is down-shifted one from the number row, while still getting the top row of '/*-' in the correct position. I probably won't use a ton of the ten-key this week, but hopefully that mnemonic will help me from fumbling when I do have a use for it.

I am not a lawyer, but I do want to make sure that I know what my legal responsibilities are as a citizen. If you need an attorney to tell you when/how to use deadly force then you are probably already in trouble. You don't get to choose the time or the place that someone tries to kill you.

If you are an armed citizen please seek training in how to safely and legally use your weapon. Knife, gun, batons, or even less than lethal weapons included. It could keep you out of prison.

The issue I face with PhotoStructure is that people's home network frequently has throttled upstream rates. I'd love to provide a caching CDN, but I want all content encrypted. I don't want my pipes to see any data from my users.

How would you do perfect forward secrecy when only the library owner's key is available at upload time? Is it possible? If not, it seems that every bit of shared content would have to be re-encrypted and re-uploaded when someone new is granted access to that content.

This upcoming presidential election is definitely more interesting due to this issue. My brother is a staunch Democrat, but he's made it clear that he's not voting for them if they put someone up who's soft on China. I suspect he'd be voting 3rd party in that scenario.

Not to mention that platforms are having a free rein over gathering sensitive information and turning it over to advertisers so that they can 'target' people as they please ...
Self-encrypting drives are great for liability-offload situations like fulfilling enterprise or statutory requirements as cheap as possible, but not great if you actually truly want to protect the data.

If you can't see the final data after encryption, you have no way of verifying if it was actually done or how well it was done.

Nothing short of a standard SSD platform with independently removable, externally readable/writeable, and installable firmware and flash modules would completely satisfy that requirement though. It'd be interesting to have but certainly cost prohibitive.
Except you have to go to the store to buy ingredients, and then you have to have the right utensils (you mention slow cooker).

I am a sometimes twitter user but only two other people I know regularly post. I have very few actual followers myself. I follow a few people to see updates to their podcasts and blogs but have notifications turned off so I only see things when I remember to.

WhatsApp founders always promised that there would be no advertising on WhatsApp. Yes I know they are gone. I confess I am not on Twitter and use Facebook once every 2 to three months. I am in about 6 WhatsApp groups and every evening I sit down to catch up on what's been happening by reading the group posts. I think the success of WhatsApp is that there literally no bots unless you sign up for one. Instead of selling adverts charging organisations to develop WhatsApp bots just might be the way to keep WhatsApp free of rubbish.

Other advantage of WhatsApp over social media is you don't know is something is viral because you can't count the likes.
Its almost a 1000km from the Fulda Gap to the Western border of NATO - so if the Russians did invade through Belarus/Ukraine there would be a problem a bit before they got to the middle of Germany.

And anyway, the North German Plain was just as likely an assault route for the Warsaw Pact forces as through the Fulda Gap.
It’s one of the only issues I agree on with the current president. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem willing to actually be effective, and he doesn’t seem to care about the actual human rights issues. I’m hopeful that he might be willing to get things done though.
The guy "no one likes" isn't innocent of China-worship. Guiltier than most. On Jinping: "He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a 'tough business.'"

Misrepresenting him as "willing to sever that codependent relationship" is harmful. He's just as complicit if not more than most politicians, and most of his actions involving China have been inconsistent and self-serving.
There are a lot of jobs dependent on trade with China (our company was affected by the Huawei ban, for example), and the fantasy that you can just cut-over to US manufacturing without huge transition job losses is unrealistic.

And if the US wants to get serious about the use of trade sanctions against human rights violations, there are a lot of places closer to home that it could look at. Not to mention the laws against boycotting a certain country for its human rights violations.

There's also the fantasy of assuming that China's next move after the trade sanctions would be a de-escalation. There's a lot of escalation opportunities for them. Like Taiwan.

(Let's be clear, this is not an apology for the human rights violations by China, which are very real especially in Xinjiang; what I am asking for is the same to be applied consistently and not driven by straightforward nationalism)

Microservices don't really help with this. They just force you to think about your interfaces, but you should do that in a monolith too. If you interfaces are reasonably stable, merging is unlikely to break master if the branch was green before, if your interfaces change rapidly you get problems with microservices too, just one level higher up, where you try to integrate them into a usable product.
Frankly it is easy as an adult, even if falling is probably worse.

You would not believe how uncoordinated children are, and how much better you are at using your body a few years after it finishes growing and you've had some time to get used to it.

Yea the tipping point for self driving cars will be when it can drive you home while drunk legally. Probably will be made legal first someplace like South Korea — there you can easily pay somebody to show up with their buddy on a scooter to drive your car home for you with you in the passenger seat. The guy on the scooter follows you and picks up his buddy. I forget what the pricing was but it was something like 2x the cost of a taxi. So wasn’t actually too crazy.

Slightly unrelated, but in the Developer portal, you can only create 5 of the "Developer ID Application" certificates per developer team. When you want to generate another one past 5, there is no option to revoke old certificates nor is there an option to ask for an increase.

I had to contact developer support asking them to revoke the old ones so that I could generate a new one (since the past keys had been lost to MacOS wipes); but it took over two months between Dev support asking the product security team for assistance, and the Product Security team not responding, before they finally made an exception and allowed my account to generate one more certificate. I realize I should have backed up the previous keys (as I have done for this most recent one), but I find it odd you can't revoke existing certificates.
