I also feel like hot keys, VIM key bindings, and org-mode key bindings are a big part of what make it good to use for a power user. Bindings are learn once, benefit forever, whereas no key bindings may make it easy initially but are an infinite drag on productivity.
I mean, that really depends on if I'm going back into the common areas of the house or not.
I loved using things like instacart but they're shameless about correlating my real life purchase history.

But this isn't like that at all. The Brown M&M is a clever hack that seems weird (and that gets posted here over and over and over...).

What's going on here is simultaneously much more mundane and much more interesting.

A given strategy at a corporate level is something like a 10 dimensional cube, with half of those dimensions within the company and half of those side outside. It begins as a concept floated by those in charge, it gets floated to people who float it to people who finally put out another version, say, a 5 dimensional cube. And final thing has requested qualities, with some things added simply as CYA, things that aren't good but the low level operative can't be criticized for.

Sometimes this process result in a dimension that a moderately intelligent person can look at and say "that's moronic, that would never work" and it doesn't.

The thing is, indeed, the critic doesn't see even the 5 released dimensions of the whatever-the-fuck that's being sold so they don't know the difficulties involved. Because the thingy is trying to barely satisfy each of these dimensions, not be great in any of them. Because these are all constraints,

Why push out a crappy version of Windows (say Vista), why produce yet another fail sequel in series X, etc. Sure, when such satisficing projects fail, the dumb stuff seems obvious but people forgot that so many projects succeed by just barely missing the bar of inadequate and so some are going to have to hit the bar too, in one of those dimensions.
I didn't suggest it was the only reason people may prefer offices- just one potential reason. I'm making no claim about OP or any other specific person on this thread.

The argument sounds nonsensical because it’s missing a verb.

I don’t agree that just because people will use a free thing that means it has a lot of value. Note I didn’t say that FB has no value, just that it might not be as valuable as one might think.

Considering most of their value is their messenger platform I don’t think FB is really worth much at all beyond their social graph.

That's a pretty good idea aid seems it could be solved entirely by software (+some signs for awareness).
Predicting loneliness across various groups
If you are going to use it as a knowledge base, you are probably looking at a few years of use.

Currently the closest match to this software I have installed is Quiver. Let’s compare costs over a period of 5 years:

Quiver: $9.99
Obsidian: $250.00

That may not be a lot of money to you personally, but it fits my mental model of “expensive” pretty well.
I don't know what to say, sorry for the confusion around isolation?

Right, this is exactly what various sources are attributing Taiwan's success to, since they were not part of WHO, they were able to implement stronger travel restrictions, earlier.
There are some languages that do this, especially reactive languages and there are some libraries for other languages that work kinda like this, for example Rx[1] works kinda like this or maybe Clojure's Javelin[2]. You could make an Rx-like system that works somewhat like that in C++, or you could use coroutines or a task-based system like Intel TBB to implement something kinda like this. It of course wouldn't be a first-class thing like in Concurnas, but I reckon you could implement the basic idea.

As far as languages go, the ideas you showed look similar to how Esterel[3] works, or perhaps Occam[4].

You didn't elaborate that <Esc> is a modifier key. So if they've hit <Esc> and are still within the timeout window, it'll think they've hit <Esc>-Whatever, not <Esc> alone. Best hit it twice, or three times to be sure.
The other thing is that player evaluation is an extremely imprecise science. For example, even with all the information modern professional sports scouts get about their prospects, many new players still wash out and are busts. The science just isn't precise enough to give definitive answers (and it's possible that science can't give answers in some of these cases). So there are a large number of judgement calls to be made, even with all the information available.

A fan might be correct when they say, "Coach should have played X instead of Y.", but the trick is knowing that in advance. And knowing hundreds of other things in advance too. Maybe coach got that one decision wrong, but hundreds of others right. The fan is unlikely to get that many correct on a percentage basis.
This does sound like an interesting story, is there a link that's not Buzzfeed?
Let's make a shortlist step by step. There's a good chance that we find the next big company in the Unicorn List. There are around 500 startups in such a list:

https://www.cbinsights.com/research-unicorn-companies

Which startups in this list have the potential to grow rapidly in the next few years? Not all of them for sure! But there are a lot of them: SpaceX, Stripe, 23andMe, Discord, Grammarly, Duolingo, Calm, Intercom, Brex, Airtable, Figma, Canva and Udemy to name just a few.

The final factor? How many of them are in a market big enough to make big companies like Microsoft? This factor gonna make our list way too shorter! But it's hard to be sure. If I want to guess? I easily remove names like Udemy, Canva, Calm, Grammarly and Duolingo from our list...
Is that real? Wouldn't it be better to keep quiet rather than quitting and revealing your hostname?

If real, were there any consequences?
Nowhere, because sensible people understand that (given anonymity of participants) active moderation is necessary so low effort slogans don’t drown out interesting conversation. And the latter is why I think many of us are here.
Very much disagree. If I cut your reach to 0, I denied you the freedom of speech. If cut your reach in half, I still affected your freedom of speech.

The question is whether fb/Twitter should be subjected to freedom of speech restrictions or not
"McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money" as the saying goes...
My patience is so bad when it comes to cli discoverability I just skip to googling what I want to do.
Yes, one good way to think about this was that there was very little change in the value (fully discounted long term etc.) of stocks but a large change in the price (current exchange rate with other participants facing temporal constraints) of cash.
> This article is evidence that the process is breaking down.

No, the article is a single instance. If it becomes common, YouTube will create systems to prevent this type of attack.

> YouTube has built a system which is ultimately unsustainable at this scale.

There's just no evidence of that -- that's pure conjecture. And given how Google has seemed to manage abuse and spam at a commercially successful level in plenty of other products (not perfect, but maintaining the platform), I would bet on YouTube continuing to succeed here.
It's certainly not the only way. It's just a more convenient alternative to running Flash player locally and downloading SWFs. The convenience is definitely a major improvement to the process, but it could potentially end up in a legal gray area after Adobe stops distributing their binaries.
Reification/logging is forward-looking too, and I might be interested in the ability to compose a GUI from the ‘history’ file with my most commonly used commands.
Not sure it's sanctions or tariffs, just there're $307 billion worth of machine equipment per year they cannot buy directly.

The 130k USD is 1000% actually supposed to be CAD.

Canadian salaries are pretty awful, and it’s not uncommon to see job listings looking for a sr eng with 8 years of exp and offering like 90-110k.

Outliers exist, but even for top tier companies Canadian compensation is gonna be lower.

Not a bad place if you’ve got persistent health issues or maybe if you want to raise a family, but other than that it’s pretty shitty IMO. I’m personally going to try my hardest to move down south as soon as this corona stuff starts settling down.

This is history. Airbus now has the A350 which competes well against the larger 787 and smaller 777X.
$100M is 1000 people getting paid $100k. $100k isn't a particularly good programmer salary, and is a very high bug bounty salary. From what I've heard, HackerOne/BugCrowd high earners basically just end up spamming as many companies as they can with web vulnerabilities like clickjacking that are low impact but everyone has, and live in very low cost-of-living areas like South America. It's a lot of repetitive hustle and not secure.

Infosec twitter people aren't the ones doing bug bounties. A lot of them are blue team cybersecurity, doing network engineering and IT, or do penetration testing for networks which is a different wheelhouse. Some of them might be reporting exploits to Zerodium/ZDI/other exploit brokers, but they keep a low profile and it is very different from "bug bounties".
Interesting, thanks. Smalltalk-72 was a rather different system, i.e. didn't have much in common with Smalltalk-80 (in contrast with Smalltalk-76 which was almost there). I already have the Smalltalk-72 instruction manual from 1976, but I will gladly read the referenced articles too.
How so? Aren't LED bulbs powered by a standard switch mode power supply? Those are very tolerant of the input voltage.
Both sides believe the other is entirely a product of propaganda and group think. They are both correct.

When I see things like this I can't help but think that WAY too much of the solution to these problems is being hoisted into the language. What this accomplishes could be done using libraries, but declaring a new language all but guarantees it won't be used because it forces an enormous dependency of learning a completely new language instead of learning the ins and outs of what the library actually does.

A random tweet isn't context! Not everyone is drinking from the shit pipeline that is Twitter. All I got from that Tweet was some guy isn't another guy?

Provide some co text like a news article or something. If you can't provide some context for people to understand maybe that's the signal to you that whatever random shit you're talking about doesn't quite rise to the level of seriousness of the President spewing unsubstantiated bullshit as claims of fact.

If you think some "leftist" was making absurd claims of fact or saying demonstrably untrue things, report them to Twitter asking for their post to be flagged.
In my opinion everyone should do the following:

- Install an Ad Blocker, so Google will not be able to make money on your visits and chances you'll get a malware from ads will decrease
- If you use Android, you can install Firefox and add uBlock Origin as extension, because Google abuse their power and prevent people from installing Ad blocker on Android.
- Stop paying money for Google Ads
- Stop using Gmail. There are plenty of alternatives (ex. outlook.com)
- Use other search engines (bing.com and yandex.com). I noticed they work in many cases better than Google. For example, yandex.com is much better for semi-legal content which is blocked on Google and not available at all.
- Stop using GCP. AWS and Azure are the better cloud providers.
- Stop supporting AMP on your website
- Don't pay money for integrating Google Maps into your website. There are much cheaper alternatives.
- Office 365 is years ahead of Google Docs.
You'd think companies would be willing to commit to fixing bugs if they're paying people to find them.
A large part of the gay rights movement come from supporters of human rights, not just people trying to protect their self interests.

The problem is there are a lot of third parties in play in HK and if I'm going to support Democracy I want to be sure that's what I'm supporting. If it's poor governance, I want to be sure I'm supporting good governance. If it's poor housing policy, I want to support good housing policy movements. I don't want to be a pawn in a proxy political war between Eastern powers and Western powers while my own democratic rights are being eroded by the US senate.

You have to wonder about the hypocrisy about all this. Every country, every territory, all over the world, has anti-sedition laws.

Hong Kong, as part of the agreement between China and Britain, must enact their own security and anti-sedition laws. They had 23 years to do it!

Hong Kong failed to do so.

Now, a security law, is going to be shoved down their throats, whether they like it or not.

Foreign forces have successfully infiltrated Hong Kong, and brainwashed the young, into believing what the western world wanted them to believe.

The white western nations love Hong Kong for what it is, because the place is lawless. Capitalism is unbridled over there. It’s predatory, and it eats the young, and the poor. The rich take all the spoils. It’s about laws that favors the rich.

But really, Britain should step up, and give these Hong Kong residents, the right to British citizenship. They extracted trillions of dollars from China, from their plunders during their opium terrorism reign. It’s time to give back what they owe. But I doubt it. The British don’t have any morals or balls to do anything. They’re all talk.
that’s a funny idea, putting the logic in the editor

It's a little different. People are typically more polite in person. Their behaviour online reflects what they would do if there were no consequences.

Doesn't have to be that complicated. The DOJ announces an investigation into Twitter advertising practices. They get a friendly judge to issue some kind of injunction against showing ads for the duration of the investigation. No more revenue. Whether they actually find anything is irrelevant.

That probably won't happen though, this is really just about stirring up a frenzy of right-wingers so Twitter will have to bow down to them and give them more and more concessions in hopes that somehow, someday they'll stop accusing everything of being biased against them.
I can just imagine Peter Thiel leading the parade on this.
As it should. Under no business model should you expect to get access to all providers' content for a minimal price.
Agreed. Many websites these days require 10-100x more time in CPU rendering complex DOMs and running JS than network loading.
I've only done a few hours of research so far and done little hacktivities (https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities).

Then there's hackthebox https://www.hackthebox.eu/ I haven't used this yet.

Mostly I just grab stuff off of twitter/reddit, I don't really know who to recommend right now, I kind of just followed a ton of relatively random open source infosec people organically, but none really scream "has guide for diving in or is a great intro person" off the top of my head.. (maybe @troyhunt), https://www.reddit.com/r/netsecstudents/

Hopefully someone else can chime in because I'd like to know more as well.
However tiresome it can get, there is a value, or at least meaningful information in repetition in itself. The constant desire for 'new' can be harmful as a phenomenon. I suspect many politically unpopular bills/initiatives do pretty well on repeat, when the 'newness' of the controversy has disappeared.

I do appreciate the work y'all do to keep this place nice, but I also hope you keep this in mind. I feel HN is 'influential' enough that being too ruthless about optimizing for 'new and interesting and curiosity-focused' might possibly diminish the values of HN as a spotlight/platform for important issues. I would pick the curiosity side though if I had to choose.
If we're internet armchair lawyering then I'd point out that a carpenter building something is "exercising their trade or profession" but a carpenter reading a textbook or watching a how-to video is not.

Analogously, a salaried software developer learning something and taking notes on their own time would be in the clear but a freelance developer tracking their projects or clients would be in violation.

What's not clear is how it applies to a salaried developer learning something and taking notes on the job (ie is time provided for professional development part of practicing your trade or merely a perk?) or a freelance developer using this product at all (same issue as previous scenario, except now it's not even clear where your job ends and personal time begins).
Swatting, doxing, and harassment are all forms of trolling. It can have lethal consequences, and these are already variously illegal for good reasons.
How long did it take Motorola to sell off the farm?
I'm blown away nobody has mentioned Amazon Fresh yet. There was a few weeks early in the pandemic when delivery times were a crapshoot, but it's worked flawlessly for me ever since. Produce and meat have all been good quality. Meat is obviously in high demand so availability of certain cuts or types of meat(mainly chicken) is variable.

If I had to give a criticism, it's that some items are shown as in stock, but on the day of delivery when they pick your order(which is evidently in a warehouse) it turns out it's not available. They automatically refund you the price in this case.
AMP also offers traffic after the load, so this is in no way comparable to a click tracker (which is also none of their business, btw). This will also offer in-band ad obfuscation eventually.

I’m curious, what do you value about the services you consume? I like transactions where I know what I am giving to the service provider. Do you really want to push away from this reality for the benefit of a few MS load time leaving a search page? That’s essentially what you’re arguing for.
I will say the barriers are definitely lower though when i compare my home country Australia to my adopted country the USA. Sure you need to actively pursue healthcare in Australia but the barriers are just so much lower.

A negative result has value as long as it's clear what vulnerabilities have been tested. Of course it's pointless if you don't trust the person testing it, but that's always going to be a problem. I guess you might need to have reproducibility to make it truly useful.
>There are people who advocate the idea...

One thing that I hope people remain aware of is that there are a number of different arguments in play and while sometimes they have similar outcomes in specific situations, they often wildly differ.

For example, there is the argument that Twitter is not to be considered just a private company, as decided by a court when Trump was not allowed to block other accounts. The argument would be that twitter blocking a user entirely would be restricting their right to interact with their government officials through an official channel. Now, if Twitter blocked such a user from interacting with everyone except government officials, then that would be acceptable because the person is still allowed to interact with government officials through official channels. Also Twitter would be able to stop acting as an official government channel by ending any accounts that count as such and free to fully block a user thereafter.

This is not the same argument that you are talking about, but I do commonly see people treating it as the same.
