Yes and it's perfectly acceptable for a Beta service. It's just too bad they don't have a single bridge that's of release quality yet, while it was their main promise.

I don't like to punt, but this seems like perhaps it's on your end. Thankfully, we haven't had other complaints of this nature and it sounds like perhaps you have a security layer (firewall, browser plugin perhaps) that is not giving you a neutral testbed.

One surefire way to tell is to try the site in Incognito Mode. You could also try on your phone, although admittedly most of the demos are still slanted towards desktop interaction. That's 100% on us and not the tech itself.

Living on the Gallipoli Front
My predictions of things that probably happen till 2030:

1. Level 5 self-driving cars will be available.

1.a. Humans will be blamed for self-driving and news like this will be common: "Another kid died because X turned off the self-driving mode. Why?"

1.b. Insurance companies will see the business for self-driving and solve most legal problems.

1.c. Most cars won't be self-driving yet.

1.d. Trucks and logistics will see major shifts in fast time.

1.e. Political targets will die in self-driving accidents.

1.f. This will be the change with the most positive impact on the world economy.

2. One major western economy will be hit extremely hard by a days/week long outage on their power or internet because of an easy cyber attack on their insecure infrastructure.

3. The wage-gap will be even bigger in the USA. The super-rich will be completely in power.

4. Major rich and/or political people will be the target of a never seen before data-breach. Laws regarding privacy will change across the west.

5. I assume an new economic crisis. But maybe the world is to complex now for one big crisis across all industries.

6. People in Europe won't accept the rising prices for healthcare and for housing/ground anymore.

6.a. The prices of healthcare will rise anyway because of new medical possibilities.

6.b. Housing will be automated but this won't affect renting prices enough.

7. Aging will be seen as a disease and the first treatments will start to appear.

8. New contraceptives for men will shape the young male generation like nothing before.

9. The near-east will start to be irrelevant again because of the electrification of cars.

10. Africa won't change a lot except for places where China invests.

11. China will suppress any revolution with ease and will help other countries to do the same.

12. The public internet will start to split into multiple enormous silos like in China now. As a European, I might won't be able to access HN anymore. Only the biggest companies can navigate this regulation mess.

13. SpaceX will be first world-wide ISP and it will be enormous.

14. Europe, USA, China and India will be equally powerful. The USA will have the hardest time to deal with this new situation.

15. The Sovereign Wealth fund of Norway will get even better. Norway will let any western economy look like crap. Why inherit dept from your parents when you can get wealth and dividends. People in the Europe will start demanding the same as Norway has.
Posting a submission multiple times if you don't get traction the first time is OK. However, now that you've had some success, don't bother submitting the same thing again. Most HN regulars have seen it by now and won't want to see it again unless something significant has changed.

> I can't post about my lifetime historic moment of reaching #1 on GH trending?

It's your lifetime historic moment. Something to tell your friends and family about, not the whole world.

> I'm just trying to hustle and show some people (and people are very appreciative so where's the harm?)

I think you're confused about what people here appreciate. A new open-source project tackling a pain point many people have is usually well-received. But there's always some project trending on GitHub and nobody who doesn't know you cares thats it's yours in particular. Hustling too hard to promote things nobody cares about will just make you look desperate for attention.

> If you’re going to argue that’s exclusively the realm of religion, then what were nietzche and Plato and Sartre doing?

I'm arguing that certainty is the realm of religion. "Religion provides certainty. Philosophy is more honest and does not."

When it comes to the meaning of life, good and evil, soul or the abyss, heaven or hell, religion provides certainty. There are 10 commandments and accept Christ. You have the rules laid out for you.

Philosophy is a neverending open-ended question when it comes to these questions.

In other words, you can keep asking questions in philosophy. In religion, you have the answers so there is no need to keep asking questions. You have certainty.
It's not just a tradition but more of a non-starter kind of thing as there is no process or framework in the first place. Countries that extradite their own citizens have jurisprudence, procedures and institutions to that effect.

European arrest warrants are different in that they operate under the idea of European citizenship, and that member countries have compatible and comparable legal frameworks. Also the ultimate authority is with the ECJ and ECHR, same as if the accused was tried locally.

> however, this was for a political issue, so it could have been easily blocked by the executive instead of authorized

As I understand it, the executive typically has the power to decide whether an (actual, international) extradition should go forward or not after the judiciary has decided that someone _can_ be extradited. After all, it's a matter of international relations.

But European arrest warrants are different, precisely because relations between member countries are not a matter of executive power. Instead, that authority lies in European institutions. In this case, either government would have had to refer to the ECJ if they did not agree.
I only have experience with the IRC one, which is ok, but I think it deserves to still be considered Beta (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21944035 )

So your theory is that he spent a decade at a company, that grew more than 10x over that time, and got consistently promoted into senior leadership as a cynical ploy to gather ammunition to attack the company he spent a decade working at, and then manufactured a reason to get fired as a political stunt?
Isn't the entire argument based on the belief that businesses would do a better job than politicians at being a government? And that "the invisible hand" is an acceptable replacement to accountability?
I really do hope I am wrong about this one, but unless a very strong wave of international regulation on the big tech companies comes in, particularly with regards to the gathering, storage and processing of personal data, then I see us entering a gruelling cold war over the next decade, the main players being largely the same (US vs Russia & China, with the EU and the larger middle eastern powers as secondary actors).

Reasons for this prediction:
- The likes of Trump, Putin, the brexit campaign have all benefitted from the normalisation of outrageous headlines and extreme/divisive views shared at mass scale and speed thanks to the ease of viral spreading of low quality media with ulterior motives.
- The hyperlocal targetting of individuals using their personal data has only exacerbated and optimised this phenomenon.
- Because of this it is easier for these divisive and populist politicians who run on policies of rash short term decisions to come into power, which will in turn lead to worse international relations.
- (more speculative argument) The algorithms which power social media and consumer advertising using personal data will placate the middle classes, feeding them what they think they want to see and consume and keeping them distant from the world's reality (e.g. what is already happening in China, Singapore) meaning populists can maintain control by getting votes/support from the more desperate people with their more extreme policies.

Unfortunately, I do not see the necessary regulation coming in soon, as the major players would never want to break up their tech giants out of fear of giving up ground to rival tech giants (e.g. amazon vs ali baba). On top of that, these governments have no incentive to mitigate the gathering of personal data by companies as they will want access to it as well for political reasons (domestic as well as international mass surveillance provides a big strategic advantage in the context of this cyber cold war).

There are many other reasons why I think these problems are being exacerbated but I have tried to summarise what I think are (and will continue to be) the main ones.
Depends on the load of course, but in my experience having tied it a lot, it only jammed up once, taking an extra thirty seconds to undo. This was when I put about 200 lb on it and swung around a bunch. Jute rope also has a ton of friction, synthetic being smoother would be even less likely to jam.

- Plant based foods will be ubiquitous and largely replace meats.

- Electric cars will take a large share of roads, although traditional combustion engines will still be very common. We will see more electric heavy industry vehicles (construction, mining, heavy ship freight, perhaps even airplanes) replace traditional combustion vehicles.

- Self driving cars will be around more, and work well enough that many drivers will hardly be driving anymore. The new lack of focus on the road will create a new set of safety concerns and legal matters.

- We will see many new weather extremes due to climate change. Record breaking temperatures and intense storms, especially along the equator. The sea levels will rise at an increasing rate.

- World will still be dependent on fossil fuels for its energy source, although coal will share a much smaller percentage of that then today as dirty industries move to natural gas. Renewables and nuclear will continue to increase in the share, but still in the minority compared to fossil fuels.

- US becomes more isolationist in world policy as it increasingly faces the inward challenges of multiple nationwide health epidemics that will cripple the country (drug abuse, rising healthcare costs, aging population, mental/behavior health illnesses, poor healthcare education, obesity, diabetes).

- China will lead the world in wireless technology and data processing infrastructure. Heavy data processing is begins to be offloaded to public infrastructure and seen as a public utility.

- China forcefully takes over the Taiwanese government. The western world scoffs, there are some protests in major urban areas. But for the most part everyone moves on.

- A cheaper form of launching payloads into orbit around the earth will be introduced, likely a combination of new technologies and a more established infrastructure for spaceflight, making spaceflight significantly cheaper.

- Mass surveillance by both government and private industry becomes the norm.

- Controversial legal regulations will be created to address the dangers of the court of public opinion and the engineering of social media.

- AI based virtual companions becomes a new industry to counter balance the rise of loneliness, depression, and other health problems.

- Freezing eggs or sperm cells for the purpose of eventual procreation, especially among aging women, will become a new industry.

- The end of cable TV, but the beginning of "cable streaming."

Spinlocks Considered Harmful in Rust
The decade of Linux on desktops. Obviously.
Competitive markets tend to optimize large profits away. If someone is charging lots for less effective treatment, the expectation in a market economy is that a competitor will step in.

The analysis you present is not uncommon, where the businessman somehow gets to choose how much money he makes in a vacuum, a situation that doesn't really exist.

Ironically, lots of US regulations prevent providers from entering markets, letting providers that already have regulatory approval charge more. Some regulations are literally written with this as the goal (CONs, Medicare reimbursement rules designed to prop up small hospitals with emergency rooms).
I suspect that a significant amount of developers do not care. A job is a job, if the problem to solve is interesting enough or it pays well enough, rest is irrelevant.
This is supported by my experiences interviewing developers who apply for jobs in my department. Questions about the ethical implications of the things they have worked with more often than not are incomprehensible to them.
Note that this is distinct from having made an informed and motivated choice, let's say, 'yes, I am aware of x, but due to a, b and c I work with it anyway' or similar. I do not judge the content of the motivation, but I strongly judge the presence or absence of it.
This is why I strongly support having strong courses in both etics and diversity / inclusion in all CS / data engineering programs. The blind spots seen in the thinking of some people who work with software that has potentially far-reaching consequences for minorities, privacy etc is sometimes really unnerving.

Chinese civil war: why did the communists win?
I've been fascinated by the potential of biometric - computer interface development for a while now.

Medicine will become the greatest driver of the technology, and BCI systems of the Neuralink class will surely become the figurehead.

But I'm also looking forward to what industrial design innovation can do for the likes of somewhat less glamorous, but cast-iron technologies like GSR sensors and oximeters.

Could make for some riotous (and terrifyingly intrusive) videogames. Large companies have flirted with biometric tech for decades (Nintendo, Steam et al), but market fit / traction has been slow because, I guess, it comes across as 'creepy', and early devices have looked cumbersome.

I think that could change in this coming decade.

Furthermore, developments off the back of the game industry can quite easily feed back into medicine and heavy industry (like controllers for heavy machinery), and the productivity gains there would lead to wider acceptance in society.

Some will definitely not come true as these are relatively bold, but:

1. People welcome always-on video cameras into their homes

2. Self-driving cars actually do take off (but are introduced gradually)

3. AR never becomes more than a gimmick. VR occupies a similar place in the gaming market to gaming consoles and is basically unused outside of gaming.

4. Higher education in many areas begins to die and is replaced with online certification programs.

5. After major breakthroughs in pharmacological(?) treatment of depression/anxiety, humans may now choose how happy they want to be. This threatens to shake society to its core, and many are against it.

6. Robots become a lot more common, but think Roomba, not I,Robot

7. The role of CO2 in human mental health is discovered and legislation begins against high CO2 levels in rooms.

8. The death of truth: photo and video evidence are easily faked, and we have to rely on the source of information to know whether or not to trust it, not the information itself.

9. The incorporation of neural-network specific hardware cards into most personal computers.

10. Personal assistants like Alexa or Siri remain fairly unintelligent and limited in scope.

11. After some horrific example of genetic engineering on human babies gone wrong, laws limit genetic engineering on humans to a few limited things like gender, eye color, etc.

12. Scientists discover that perfect pitch can be reliably acquired through extensive practice, despite 2020 "common knowledge". But there's still not really a point to doing so. It's just one of many new demonstrations of the plasticity of the human mind.

13. Some psychedelics become legal in many countries.

14. Polyamory becomes a thing that most people are at least familiar with.

15. Attempts are made to outlaw the use of blockchain-based communication and video apps.

16. A platform mixing the best parts of Patreon and Youtube becomes popular.

17. Universal basic income is implemented in many countries, but not the US.

18. A cheap technological remedy to global warming is produced, and the issue disappears quietly.

19. Moore's law basically plateaus mid-decade. The impressive stuff in computing is being done by different types of computer architectures altogether, like neural-network chips.

20. Boldest prediction: first convincing (but non-conclusive) evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligent life.
