I can see a few compelling arguments for it, but personally I'd be very wary of concluding causation from this relationship. The two things are very complicated and have many confounding variables involved. I see it just as likely that the correlation is spurious, and people exposed to advertising have lower life satisfaction for a variety of complex reasons incidental to the ads themselves.

Capitalism affords many opportunities for someone to be unhappy and unsatisfied; advertising may cause this or simply exacerbate what is already there.

I'm disappointed with the way HBR reported this. The researchers are explicitly quoted as saying they found a "negative connection", which, yes, is an inverse correlation. No matter how intuitively compelling, you can't just extrapolate that to a conclusion of causation as the author of this article proceeded to do right in the introduction.

Edit: Why is this being downvoted? Do you disagree with my point that we can't extrapolate causation from correlation, or do find my comment to be off topic?

Indeed it is a symbol. Does the author have the same objection about other icons? Let's talk about some of the icons in the System Preferences window (https://help.apple.com/assets/5DB8A4A0094622D56C6D1279/5DB8A...)

The Date & Time icon is an analog clock with a paper calendar icon on top of it. Does the author think this is "incorrect" because the computer does not actually have a tiny analog clock inside of it? It does have another type of clock based on a newer technology.

The Energy Saver icon is a light bulb with a standard base screw-in socket. The computer doesn't have one of those inside it either. And the computer's energy usage isn't primarily from lighting. But the icon is an LED bulb, and we understand those as a way of saving energy.

The Screen Time icon is an hourglass. Is this incorrect because the computer does not internally use an actual hourglass to judge whether your session is too long? Nevertheless, the idea comes across OK because you can use an hourglass for similar purposes.

When this topic comes up I like to remind people of the brilliant and under appreciated movie Roger Dodger. The main character in it is an advertising executive and he flat out said that his job is to convince people their lives sucked. First you have to convince someone their life sucks and then it is quite easy to convince them that the latest product will improve their lives.

This is the way advertising works.

I wasn't aware of that, but perhaps it will hearten you to know that I don't deal with warranty law in my day-to-day. So, I clearly have more to learn - not sure why you felt it necessary to call my credentials into question over it though.

But in any case, your post does strengthens my main point, which is that fear over surveillance of vehicles by OEMs, with no consumer recourse, is somewhat overblown.

EDIT:

Just read Magnusson-Moss, and I have a question since you seem to know about it - you said the act "makes it blatantly illegal to 'void' a warranty for any modification, unless it can be proven that the modification caused the issue that the customer is making a warranty claim for."

But the act itself says "the warrantor shall not impose any duty other than notification upon any consumer as a condition of securing remedy [...] unless the warrantor has demonstrated [...] that such a duty is reasonable." 15 U.S.C. § 2304(b)(1).

Based on what's actually in the text of the law, I could imagine Tesla or some other OE making the argument that it is "reasonable" to condition the warranty on the consumer continuing to feed the stream of telematics data to the OE, because it allows them to identify warranty issues before they require substantial repairs, thus potentially saving significant money for the OE, and significant time for the consumer - certainly a reasonable thing. I personally don't agree with that argument, but I'm curious how you would respond to it, and how you can be sure that a court would shoot it down.

Missed that by almost a decade. I just feel that there is a lot of nostalgia for the old times whereas nothing is actually preventing people from doing what was done before.

Replying a bit transversally here, but I was on IRC 18 years ago and still am every day. Any game you have played before can be played now, easier than before, heck we are just organizing Worms I tournament. Youtube is still full of funny stuff and reddit communities exist, RSS didn't go anywhere and there are many many hobbyists blogs out there still.

Sure stuff got piled on top of all that but nowadays it's easier, cheaper and more accessible to do what we were doing "back then".
I assume you have an EV? Even EVs have transmissions (unless it's some weird niche car that's completely direct drive). They're just vastly simpler than modern automatic/manual gearboxes, usually a single gear reduction.

In Ontario, one of the more popular things to do is convert one room schoolhouses into homes. The same is done with churches, so it makes sense that former fraternity assets are as well.

These organizations used to form the fabric of a civil society that persisted underneath the volatility of governments and economic concerns. The liberal aspect of the group created neutral ground for people with different religious convictions to form a civil community outside their churches and temples.

When you look at the historical impact of that organization, the best summary I've heard is it has served as a check on hegemony, as the villains of history seem to be the ones most concerned about them.

"As for writes, at 1 gb a day - far more than my current rate of data use - it would take the same 114 years to reach 40 tb."

Maybe it works for author's very specific system or use-case, but on my personal MBP laptop with very occasional usage pattern--some days I do not use it at all during the week--I end up with 10 GB per day of writes on average. That way it will be 11.4 years already, not so many. And I do not do something very disk-expensive on it like torrents downloading or database testing, only some general development task, watching online videos, web surfing, docs, etc.
Curve Your Enthusiasm
Interesting how people ascribe responsibility in different ways to thigs. Ultimately, those responsible are those killing the animals, thereby providing supply to a market for it.
Isn't this the desired behavior of a complicated consciousness?

I always thought that being real, as in being in contact with reality, knowing what is going on - is one of the main characteristic of a quality consciousness, as opposed to an inferior one which is lost in it's own illusions. So then of course a good consciousness could react (including emotionally) to a different landscape of reality? To new information about what reality is, what is possible in life, what activities can be done, what experiences to be had etc? This is by design and the desired behavior, no?

Also I don't think that happiness is in such direct linear correlation to this, despite of some anecdotes - there are a plenty of rich unhappy people (who know that they are the richest on the planet, who know they have it good, because on TV they see people doing less interesting things).
I don't think they need to actually kill demand. If supply increases enough that the price plummets then acquiring and importing real rhino horn may not be profitable enough for poachers to take the risks.
You implement OpenGL as a middleware that speaks Vulkan.

Basically, ANGLE it, but for desktop OpenGL instead of GLES.

As an aside, Google is adding a Vulkan backend for ANGLE, and Microsoft seems to be adding a DX12 (which is basically DXVulkan) backend (to match the DX11 backend they gave Google) at some point in the future.

So, GLES, in its entirety, is now a community supported, open source, Vulkan middleware. No reason why we can't do that with desktop GL too.

Another issue with Signal -- you can't backup your chat logs on iOS like you do on Android (chat logs are encrypted btw).

I'm not sure if that's a Signal issue or an Apple restriction.
I agree that it's inconvenient for users; it annoys me every time I have to bounce out to the Amazon website to buy Kindle books, for example.

But I don't see the alternative from Apple's perspective. If they allowed revenue side-channels, every app would be free, and useless if you didn't purchase an expansion pack from the developer.

Sure, Apple could run the app store at a loss. They could allow side-loading. They could do a lot of things. But I don't fault them for declining to.
> I've given you the knowledge of a solution to your problem.

But you've given a "solution" (that involves separating me from my money) to a problem that you created in the first place. I don't see how that's a good thing.

> And yet, I'm willing to bet you wouldn't consider those ads to be evil, would you?

"Evil" isn't the word I'd use. "Immoral" is. If a charitable organization is using ads that are intentionally trying to make me feel bad (as opposed to merely informing me), then those ads don't suddenly become acceptable just because it's a charitable organization. The ends don't justify the means. Interestingly enough, although I donate to charitable organization reasonably heavily, I long ago decided not to donate to ones that engage in such advertising, for precisely this reason.

> If all I cared about was making people happy, I'd sell heroin.

No, you wouldn't, because doing so will make people unhappy, not happy. "Feeling good" is a very different thing than happiness, particularly if you're only looking at the near term.

> Deleted file recovery on a modern SSD is next to impossible for the end user

OK, he’s talking about SSDs, but I want to mention that I’ve easily recovered many large deleted files from SD or micro-SD cards (formatted as FAT32 or exFAT) using Norton Unerase or an equivalent utility.

Are the controllers for SSDs that different from the controllers for SD cards? Has anyone tried Norton Unerase or an equivalent program on an SSD? I’d like to hear a first hand account to help confirm (or deny) what the author claims.
Where is this a reality? I pay cash all the time. Most of the services I pay for have a local presence. Paying online is just a convenience for me, but entirely optional.
I genuinely appreciate the feedback. I was hoping there was enough distance between this project and the French firm but I'd stupidly not considered that they'd trademark their name.

oh gotcha. not sure why I thought it was reasonable to think you were talking about a bunch of SD cards in a raid array...
The early companies who have been trying this out this have the advantage that can could post at a discount and still get added exposure.

A big shout out to the companies who recognized this discount and will be rewarded with great value: Eight Sleep, Polis, Standard Tokenization Protocol, Zimperium, Adnomi, Checkbook, EnergyHub, Apptentive, PagerDuty, BetterHalf, Power Integrations, and EverQuote plus others I may have missed.
IF Facebook didn't fake their numbers, then I would be inclined to agree.
Can confirm that those high dpi numbers are real. (I paid for my last year in college rendering film for offset press on a 25'x6'x6' monster scitex film printer).

Although the plate or film is rendered at 1600/2400/3200/4800 dpi, the dot gain from the ink soaking into the paper tends to blur fine details. The printing software tried to account for the dot gain, but it was still there.

If you look at a 300dpi laser printer output vs 600dpi, most everyone can tell if they look. Higher resolutions may need a loupe to discern differences.
At least someone's allowed to point it out.

> I'm not advocating for writing sloppy/bad code on purpose

Well, if the “ugly” code works the same as the “pretty” code, but the ugly code can be developed faster than the pretty code, then you should definitely prefer the ugly code: in fact, if this is the case, the ugly code should be considered state-of-the-art because it can be written faster. Since we all accept that the pretty code takes longer, it had better pay for itself in some way. The theory is that the pretty code is easier to maintain over time: it takes longer up front, but when it comes time to make a change, since the code is so maintainable, the change is easier to make. Although that makes intuitive sense, I can’t say that that’s been my experience; in 30 years of software development, I’ve never come across code that’s particularly easier to make changes to than any other. I’ve tried to take maintainability into account when I’m writing code myself, and I can’t even think of a time when I had to make a change and found that my foresight saved me time and effort.

It doesn’t help much that none of us agree on what “good quality” code looks like: everybody seems to call all code “bad”. I’ve I’d like to see software development advance a bit in terms of professionalism where we at least agree on the principles of high-quality software code, and the principles are objectively defensible in terms of what the cost/benefits of following them are.
Sounds like Battlestar'ing your transportation. A very popular modification scene in the car world.

I have converted modern cars to points and carbs, its not that difficult. No reason you couldnt drive any car with some motorcycle carburetturs clamped to the intake runners. Hardest part is spinning the rotor and remembering how to set your points. Never drive-by-wire cars will need a throttle cable, and a manual transmission is the only electronics-free option. I have heard a simple mechanical relay logic system can control many autos, but have never tried.
That's an interesting point. I do rather have hiking shoe/soylent ads snuck into my feed than random gaudy shit trying to get my attention.

Ah, the old "nothing ever happens for the first time" argument. A terrible argument, actually.

Hydrogen storage underground is a proved technology, already in use. Hydrogen pipelines exist. I'd argument the step to using hydrogen for long term storage is much more plausible than that nuclear will suddenly get off the failure curve where it gets more expensive over time rather than cheaper.
For some extra context here, the "100%/any%" thing comes from Metroid, which would give you a percentage score at the end of the game. So "any%" came to mean "literally anything goes, get to the end of the game." This culture has carried over to games that don't explicitly tell you how much of the game you've completed.
For every function call it should not grow the stack and jump into the function. The JVM does not support that. One would need to compile the code in complex ways - function calls would no longer map directly to JVM instructions.
> is it right for people to live in ignorance if it makes them happy, it it's not their choice?

I wouldn't pretend to answer if it is "right" (what does it even mean), but a lot of people already do live in ignorance. Maybe not in the straight way of ignorance of not being able to recollect some information, but certainly in terms of assigning certain labels and judgements to it. So many people watch a TV with someone having a great time and think/feel to themselves things like "they stole the money somehow to get there", "they had rich parents", "they are not happy anyway", "life is unfair, they got their riches through unfairness", "money is the root of all evil", "money brings unhappiness", "it's not their real life, just some fake instagram story" etc.

Ask HN: Can someone please help me with this GDPR request email?
Hello guys,

Today I received an email like this “....please send me a GDPR information about all my data you have assigned to this email…..”

Background story: I recently launched one of my side projects https://www.asynctrace.com and I’m trying to reach a developer who might be interested. I didn’t run any email marketing campaign, I just tried to make individual communication.

I don’t have much knowledge of GDPR! Now, what should I reply to this email? Literally I didn’t store any information, I just found the email address and name in GitHub that's all. Also, I don't have any privacy page on my site.

Thanks
I wish yours wasn't the only comment talking about this. It saddens me to see articles like this, where causation is imposed on correlation. Everyone "knows" correlation doesn't imply causation, but they only seem to know it in the sense of a student reciting it. They don't apply that knowledge critically.

A single study of two things as complicated as advertising measurement and happiness/satisfaction, and the intuitively compelling conclusion is immediately embraced as the truth because it's "obvious."

Edit: Again with the downvotes...come on HN. I'm not defending advertising, I'm criticizing the reporting on a study in a world which has a rampant replication crisis.
I also have experience with something of an EMR, both from the implementation/standards side and the buying side. It is a complete and utter mess. The amount of cruft is insane, and service is very poor (nobody masters the subject, so you get the poor support). It is very tiresome.
