"The useability flaws of an application are invisible to its designer."
Yeah, but what Google and the author does not tell you upfront is that you still would have to go through their vetting process, which is extreme, and probably less than 0.1% ever get past level 2.

My son is a CS grad at a top ten USA University and at only a B average overall in CS he never got past an email from Google, and really could care less. Now his fellow CS friends envy him since he got a 6 figure job started in Aug 2019, stock options, 10K signing bonus at a fortune 500 tech co where he shows up at 9 and works till 5, no pressure to work long hours or weekends slaving away (working at home since covid19).

His roommate was a 3.75 overall in CS, good with algorithms and white boarding, he never got past a level 2 interview with Google - - - he ended up at MS on the West coast for $150K, but cost of living out there will eat away $50K easy.

The rumor around his CS university group is don't waste your time with Google.
But the military I think we can trust more than the Postal Service, every time we hear of a postal employee destroying or throwing away mail should be a significant enough reason that the agency is simply not ready to take this on. Maybe at the next election, maybe with a significantly more funding, transparency, and security, but not now. Mail in voting would be great, but not now. It’s far too dangerous.
I would not rate the current news reporting as broad discussion. The discourse in the media is biased and not helpful with regard to the future.

It’s 80% parents complaining, bashing of food production plants, cooks going crazy and driving to the right edge of the spectrum. Reports of teens and young adults bashing glass on the week ends. All these reports burry the helpful discussions.

With regard to the scientific progress I have nothing to say as I’m not up to date. However producing high quality research takes some round trips to settle to an stable state. Nothing wrong with that process but the gained knowledge must be distributed back to the people. Currently this does not happen. Or: it happens and nobody is listening.
California’s Determinate Sentencing Law was enacted not long ago, in ‘77. What would you call that? A local minimum? In any event, I can only wait as long as I’m not convicted of a crime which carries a statutory sentence. How long is it fair for those already sentenced to wait from the comfort of their prison cells?
I didn't downvote you, but I suspect that some people reacted negatively to your strategy of "don't vote, then the people with power will feel so embarrassed at the lack of credibility of the system that they will work to regain people's trust".

Also, if the comment above is your "toned down" wording, I'm glad I didn't read the original version, or I probably would have downvoted you.
Also check out the quarter-square method and prosthaphaeresis.
You quite get the tone of the conversation.

It's pretty much an official propaganda policy of CPC to maximally polarise the conversation, and convert it to "US vs them" format, with "our (imagined) values," and "their values"
Just pausing spend (stopping campaigns in the ad manager. Typically an agency would be told to suspend the campaign and relevant creative (copywriting, art assets) budgets would be paused or diverted to support other media.
Or maybe people will decide that as long as they can afford to live in the Santa Cruz mountains, all the office crap doesn't really matter very much. More generally I expect a lot of people are rethinking their priorities.

It's worth noting that a local-only offline-first web app shifts the load of storing and managing user data entirely onto the user themselves.

That's a huge load of responsibility taken off the software supplier's shoulders and it eliminates the entire cost and complexity of building and maintaining Cloud based data management infrastructure.

And that's a pretty great option to have on the table for both users and software makers.

I'll also note that these apps consume almost no network bandwidth. With Service Workers implemented they barely speak to your server. The amount of bandwidth that can be potentially saved has got to be pretty huge.
I had to choose to be part of Apple's market, Apple did not choose me. Seriously all arguments to fall short for that one simple reason.

No one forced anyone to buy an Apple product. Now if Apple tried to dictate what software you could use on platforms connected to your Apple product it would be an issue but they don't.
I’m not suggesting he had anything to do with it (though I wouldn’t rule out the possibility). The question was just what he thinks of it, and I thought his response wasn’t funny in the slightest. The coup in Bolivia is horrible. Not even remotely funny. It’s tone deaf and insensitive at best.
I disagree that government allows accountability, exhibit one: TSA.
Unpopular opinion: I see it as a little bit similar the coronavirus masks here. Your choice can potentially impact my security. (or, security of the platform).

Personally I like apple devices, I like that when I give them to my family I don't get a bunch of support questions like I do when I give them PC's or my old Android devices.

That said: I would prefer apple devices (and thus, their store) to be a minority market share, which pushes the play store to look at their own practices and increase the barrier to entry, or the standard to which applications are held.

Even my girlfriend (who is young and relatively tech savvy, though does not work in tech) has downloaded and executed virus' from the play store by mistake.
There's nothing inherently racist about attempting to claim your political opponent cannot legally be president.
To be fair, Trader Joe's or any other store does not require me to go through them, without any other alternative, every time I want to modify or use in new ways my stuff after I bought it.
I have seen many arguments, but "I like not having a choice. And I want others not having a choice too, whether they like it or not" has never been one, nor has any argument I have seen ever get close to that.

I think that Apple should allow apps to be installed from outside of the app store, but your argument is just a straw man.
The author's bashing of "original" 1960s turntables is, of course, unwarranted. A lot of those turntables were, and still are, quite good.

One of the most successful PR strategies Facebook has used throughout this is to position it as a free speech issue and the boycott as calling on them to censor speech. It's been so successful that I've seen it repeated a number of times on HN.

To the extent that they can make the argument free speech vs. not free speech, of course they win hearts and minds, because as you say, censorship isn't very popular.

The problem is that by making this all about censorship, they can ignore any responsibility they for harm they create in other ways. For example, creating incentives for publishers to create divisive content for the sake of enraging people, or recommending people join white supremacy groups. As far as I can tell, it was these sorts of measures that the boycott organizers called for.

The cynicism of Facebook's PR “free speech” stance is especially annoying given their arbitrary and non-transparent block of Dreamwith a few weeks ago[2]

What baffles me about people attacking Apple is that they basically saying this: You first had to choose an Apple product with its restrictions over all other available devices.

You made the first choice, if the choice does not permit you to do what you want then you have made an incorrect choice. Apple did not choose you, you chose Apple.

I willingly bought my last iPhone knowing the restrictions of the App Store and it did not bother me. If it did I could have easily bought any of the Android phones or at the time Windows phones. If you bought an Apple device knowing the restriction why did you make the choice anyway?
None of those things you listed are in conflict with rule #2.

The length of an animation is not the same as making your users wait for an initial response to your input. The rule is talking about how fast the computer appears to acknowledge and begin responding to a user input, it is not talking about how fast any given task is completed. The wait is the length of time between clicking the button and when the screen starts to animate.

Animation you have to wait for can sometimes be a bad design choice on a page, and I'm not a big fan of overuse of css transitions. But a navigation transition helps the user keep mental track of where they are, and it specifically signals that the computer is responding to your input. The animation itself here doesn't break the Doherty threshold, it does the opposite, it meets the Doherty threshold.

Network loading of a new page is unavoidable (out of the control of the page author), is absolutely standard practice for internet apps (see Jakob's law), and your browser (not the page) is what handles the interaction. The browsers adhere to the rules listed here to every extent possible, and they respond to page loads instantly by showing you a loading spinner, a blank page, and allowing interactions like cancelling the load while loading. Again, the interaction criteria here is that the computer acknowledges your input, not that it is required to finish something that can take time.

Scrolling is another interaction that meets rule #2, it doesn't break the rule. The rule is not about design or layout. When scrolling, if the page is moving in response to your input, then it's meeting the rule. And scrolling is one of the things browsers bend over backward to make as smooth and fast as possible.

From my understanding, mission control usually doesn't use their own local time. The choice of time depends on the mission, but common choices are UTC or Mission Elapsed Time. The ISS missions use UTC, since the ISS is jointly controlled by Russia and the US, and neither would agree on using the other's local timezone(s), so they use UTC.

Stuff published to the public is not coming directly from mission control, it is being filtered through NASA PR and SpaceX PR. And PR often tries to simplify things for their audience, like converting UTC (which the average person isn't very familiar with) to local timezone. (And sometimes NASA PR also likes to turn metric into US customary, although SpaceX PR does that less.)

The primary target of NASA and SpaceX's PR is American voters, because it is American taxpayer money that pays for all this. Putting things in terms which makes it easier for an American to understand, but harder for a non-American, makes sense in that context.

I think WFH will be very different when there isn’t a global pandemic going on. You can have more working environment flexibility with public or coworking spaces and it will be much easier to have a more social life.

In between jobs, I enjoyed freelancing at a coworking place for people in programming fields called Code & Supply in Pittsburgh. I also enjoyed a Makerspace in Miami called Moonlighter makespace which had coworking tables, 3D printers, a CNC machine and other items. I image more niche type spaces may grow if WFH continues after COVID.

> So exactly what would a Pornhub app do that you can’t do from the website?

Well, we don't know. But porn has historically been at the forefront of digital technology, so maybe some investment in sectors like AR and VR is being held back by the fact that Apple would never allow porn-related apps.
These are called ductless air conditioners in the U.S.
It's also extremely overblown. Even if a cat has toxoplasmosis, it's not contagious unless the cat is very sick itself and even then only through its' feces, which I suppose could get on a cat's claws, but for your normal healthy indoor/outdoor cat it's a non-issue.
Those are unlikely to be in international waters. I do know the old joke you’re referring to, though!

"If some guy rolls in with a fancy algorithm telling you someone is a criminal using facial features, you need to be able to say that is nuts."

OK, maybe. But I think that it is just as often political correctness as science that allows one to dismiss such assertions out of hand. As much, as a gentile, I would like to be able to dismiss "The Jews really are smarter than the rest of us" out of hand, some unpopular assertions may in fact be true. And I think truth has to come before other considerations. (Though it may be best not to make such assertions at all if there's not a good reason to.)

Overall, though, I really liked what Bergstrom had to say. What he had to say about mockery being unproductive was some practical wisdom.
>"...doctor because of course they know best" is a really strange thing to say.

Personal experience and paying a little attention to the news is how I came to that conclusion. The truth remains that in this country (USA) if your skin color does not match that of the majority, you should not trust what a doctor tells you.

Argh, and thanks! Not sure what happened there, updated the link to point to the LabPadre live shot of the Starship.
Yeah, and just like all the evidence piling up that covid19 was a genetically tampered with and lab manipulated organism - - - how about Chinese sending seeds with genetic snippets that will grow to reproduce with native species and inject toxins or even insert some sort of biological warfare genes.
Feels the same to me... in fact, I'd probably prefer 400ms of a static screen to 400ms of animation. Withe the static screen I can blame my internet and not think much of of it, if I'm watching an animation I have to sit there and think about how the "designer" chose to force me to wait for them to twirl around and take a bow before I can move on.

Edit: Exact test of rule 2:

Productivity soars when a computer and its users interact at a pace (<400ms) that ensures that neither has to wait on the other.

Nowhere does it say that waiting is only bad if you don't see something happening. I am waiting on the computer to finish it's little jig. That is bad, and a violation of rule #2.

Further, from the original study itself:

"When a human being’s command was executed and returned an answer In under 400 milliseconds, it was deemed to exceed the Doherty threshold, and use of such applications were deemed to be “addicting” to users."

My answer has not been returned within 400ms, this the Doherty threshold has not been met.
Why would security of commercial space flights be a Navy or Coast Guard job?

If they have to get involved, IMO, they should send SpaceX the bill.
In the scenario you describe, the carbon tax would have to be high enough to make burning gas more expensive than renewables. Maybe that would work in this scenario? I don't know. That model is also a bit harder to implement for products rather than direct energy production. It also is reactive, rather than proactive. Tax is levied only after environmental damage is done. Given "politics", it is also highly likely that the tax might never be used for environmental remediation. (Just like lottery money generally never results in increases in school spending, instead just acting as a pool of cash that lets the government keep "normal" taxes lower)

From both an economic, environmental, and political impact perspective, it is significantly more efficient to put the burden of environmental action on producers of products rather than consumers. Don't given consumers an incentive to consume renewables and products made from them, give the producers who would otherwise use less environmentally friendly products an incentive to never create those products in the first place

It deals with the problem at the source, instead of indirectly.

Also none of this helps with a UBI. If we're taxing less responsible consumption or production, that money needs to be used to offset the environmental impacts the 1) are caused by that consumption/productions and 2) the environmental damage already done.

If you think we should have a UBI, that funding would need to come either from raising a purpose-built tax for it, or cutting spending in some way. In the US there are about 15,000,000 households in poverty. Giving them 500/week would cost about $410,000,000,000 per year. However many programs for the poor use income cutoffs between 130% to 200% of the poverty limit to be eligible for benefits. If those people were included in a UBI, the cost could raise to as high as $1 trillion/year, which would be a near doubling of the national budget. Even if carbon taxes were, irresponsibly, diverted from actual environmental remediation, I don't think they cover that bill.
Is it really extremely clear? And why should we consider "sides" when evaluating the scientific validity of a particular point?

To be clear I am not arguing against wearing masks, but rather against a misrepresentation of the clarity of current scientific evidence.

if you don't install sideloaded apps, it won't impact your security in the slightest.

Or, maybe, you don't like the idea that you'll have to sideload the app you need because it isn't available in the AppStore? Hmm. Well, you'll feel a biiiiit like other people who don't have a choice under Apple's regime, with only difference that they can't run the app at all, and you can run it in a way that you don't like.

It also brakes the rule that all text should be selectable (so that people can e.g. copy past it to an search engine).

(The laws titles are not selectable on desktop/linux/firefox.)

Furthermore the short description of the laws does sometimes subtle differ from the actual long descriptions in ways which make major differences about how "correct" that law is.

Because it’s almost all politics and tribalism. Democrats complain that there’s not enough content take downs and republicans complain that there’s too much of it. No matter what internet companies do, they’ll face tons of criticism.

And both sides think that they that support free speech. But free speech mean to them speech they agree with, and everything else is a hate speech.
The problem with that (I've heard), is that it also "reads" all the dirt in the groove, that a stylus usually pushes out of the way.

Musk doesn't have a particularly compassionate sense of humor, nor much restraint on Twitter. It's cost him a lot of money in the past.
