It doesn't help that AWS IAM is often confusing and inconsistent. And some permissions that should have resource-level granularity and/or support conditions, don't. To be fair, this does seem to be improving somewhat, but even some newer permissions aren't able to be controlled in as granular a way as I would like.
As much as this sentiment rings true, it's also a fairly useless one

Most people don't have jobs building/maintaining original products or delivering or consuming business value. Most people have jobs doing what someone else tells them. Business value just happens to be the byproduct of doing what is told. When this "someone else" finds this brand new tool, either they ignore it in favor of existing tooling which means you're never going to learn it which means you're left behind in a constantly changing ecosystem and then changing jobs becomes a massive pain because you're not familiar with said tool, or "someone else" loves it and you're forced to adopt it and your life is pain as you migrate ancient projects to try and please their whims

JS being in such constant flux means new companies making new products adopt the standards set by the current trends which means they will not hire you if your knowledge has gaps and if you're looking for new careers, you have to continually keep up. This is exhausting and a lot of people are, IMO rightfully so, frustrated
Then it would make you believe someone else is so incredibly wise. Posts can contribute to the discussion and suggest side points at the same time. If they didn't want to suggest how much Jesus of Nazareth was wise, they would simply post the quote without the "truth of Jesus of Nazareth [the name used for Jesus the historical figure] words" part.
Apologies if I came off as needlessly combative, my phrasing could certainly be improved.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely agree with what you’re saying. In fact, I encourage anyone with even the slightest inclination to study essentially anything, but especially physics, in their own free time to do it. You’re spot on in saying that there’s value in doing that.

The only assumption I wanted to challenge was that absolutely every human on Earth could do it. I just think that’s patently untrue, and betrays an inability to view things from other people’s perspective.
It seems to be missing a whole picture. I suspect places like Saudi Arabia, Israel, and UAE have both high average wealth and high religiosity. It highlights places like Bangladesh and Japan, but seems to note the US as an anomaly. Feels like it's cherry picking data to fit the story.

> What objective norm does this product violate?

Privacy.

Also, traditionally, hosts go out of their way to help their guests feel welcome, not the other way around.

"Privacy" is about so much more than "personal information". Heck, it is irrelevant whether the conversation contains "personal information".

It is also very clearly not only the hosts who are affected here.

Maybe this depends on region?

My theory is that the church and priests have a giant fault at least for me an Orthodox Christian in Romania. When I was a child I become a super believer, they had a religios cartoon on the only TV channel and the stories were very nice. But then in school you have the priests(religion teachers) fight a losing battle against science by supporting the creation and myths instead on focusing on the more important parts.

I was also into conspiracies and aliens/UFOs and religion also makes sense as a tool to keep the poor suppressed So IMO when the priests were no longer the only source of education then the things collapse for the church, the people in my village are on paper part of the church but in practice based on what they do and not do the story is different. There are some different sects/versions that appeared after the revolution in 1989 that do a better job on converting and keeping their people more engaged but still are talking about the creation myths so this is invalidating some of my points( and I am still mystified how people that studied physics in university(including astronomy) will defend the Genesis as a correct historical thing).

Just so we don't start some mini comment war here, if you are a religious person I am fine with that and I am honestly happy for you, I never ever start discussion with people in the attempt to convert them, they start this conversations and I have to explain where my doubt come from. Also you don't need to try to defend creation her, it will not work and is not the main point for me anyway there are more deeper issues , philosophical issues that even a proof of God existence would not be enough for me to start woshiping him/it.

Reddit has (and always had) this and many more. It's all part of their extensive anti-abuse system. For example if you go to someone's profile and downvote all their comments, that probably won't work. If you link your post on chat and tell them to go upvote you, won't work either. There's many more of these, and most of them look like they work but behind the scene reddit takes it all into consideration and knows people trying to game the system.
I can't say that is my experience of the UK - I haven't been to a religious wedding or funeral for decades and the topic of religion never comes up in day to day conversation with anyone.

How "hardened" is it? Can you completely control network traffic and permission access of every installed app?

For example, if you wanted to spoof the android_id (something you usually can't do with regular permissions) to some app, could you do that?

Also, is app storage isolated? This is a new feature in Android 10 but a pretty easy way to allow for cross-application tracking/fingerprinting in earlier Android versions.

These are neat, but in my mind, TikTok is far more about the ForYou algorithm than the fact that it's a scrolling feed of videos. The latter is fairly easy to do, as showcased by this very thread. Any decent engineer can throw together a demo like this fairly easily. TikTok's huge success though seems to be due to how good it is at predicting what people will like, which is something that even Youtube struggles to sometimes. Of course predicting 10s videos is much easier than predicting 5m videos.
I think a better way to word this would be to assess if you are happy with the deal you are getting from your customers.

If you are willing to work like crazy to keep someone happy for whatever reason go for it but it might be that you are putting out a fire that is not worth putting out. Weigh up the opportunity cost and see what you want to do then.

If I was starting a company, I'd prefer to have at least a few nitpicky customers. You might not solve all of their problems, but their over-communication might highlight insightful decisions you could make, that would otherwise be opaque from customers who don't ever talk to you. Emotional, verbose feedback is better than no feedback.
> The link only talks about economic uncertainty. Clearly, there is more to it.

Of course. Economic uncertainty just happens to be the largest source of uncertainty in many parts of the modern world (unless you happen to live in a war zone or under an oppressive or corrupt government).

> For example, I would say every single person is routinely perplexed by 50% of the rest of the planet (aka the opposite gender).

What an odd thing to say!

> Besides, even the richest substrata of economically developed countries just somehow automatically gravitate towards religion-influenced philanthropy.

Religion is historically the driver of philanthropy [1], but in modern times you also have things like the Gates foundation.

> The economic certainty experienced by the rich folks isn't making them object to the religious nature of these organizations even if they themselves don't explicitly believe in religion. They could just stop donating, but something tells them the good outweighs the (in their view) bad.

You haven't explicitly stated it, but it sounds like your premise is that religious feeling is causing these people to donate, rather than them donating to any cause that reduces world suffering. In fact, the religious nature of so many philanthropic organizations is one of the driving reasons for the rise of secular philanthropic organizations in recent years. More and more people want to support evidence based help that doesn't also spread a religion.

> "...it's basically a psychological coping mechanism."

I think this isn't quite right. Religion is a social mechanism. It creates the right incentives for its members to buy into a kind of insurance program. When a member falls on hard times the other members will take care of them. Of course this is more appealing to people in financially or socially unstable circumstances.

In order to avoid free-loading, there might be something like a tithe where you actually have to pay money into a shared pool. But if you don't have money to spare then usually membership comes down to costly signalling, i.e. various forms of self-sacrifice. Usually the poorer the members the more extreme the religion.

The idea of divine, absolute laws of conduct and an un-gameable entity that enforces these laws sounds fantastical but it's very effective at getting people to cooperate once they've bought in (which is why costly signals of buy-in are so important). It shifts the prisoner's dilemma payouts away from defect, toward cooperate. And a strange quirk of the human mind is that the more socially useful something is, the more it will prevent us from realizing it's not actually based on something true, and the more socially harmful it is the more it will prevent us from realizing it's actually true.

As society modernizes, people move away from religion because the costs don't seem to justify the benefits. Also without strong social incentives to believe, it becomes too hard to believe based only on the likelihood that it's actually true. Unfortunately I think we do lose something in the process. Modern society is more likely to be disconnected. Religiously active people generally tend to be happier. Looking around a lot of people I know have nothing like a weekly church meeting where they can socialize with a group of people that takes care of each other.

I have been a digital nomad for 8 years of my life and my partner and I (also digital nomad for 2+ years) had actively decided to become parents and have a 2 years old daughter. We do live as expats in Budapest where the cost/quality of living ratio is better with a foreign salary.
I did attend a couple of FIRE meetups in Budapest last year.

I think the article is discussing a lot of real problems but is assuming too much cause/effect rather than just correlation.

I think many of these movements make sense now BECAUSE travel is easier and millenials are not marrying or are having less kids anyway.

The FIRE movement is quite helpful anyway to start to manage your savings and debt. There is a lot of exchange of knowledge about ETF and passive investing.

You clearly don't work for one of the ones that grant 7 figure salaries. I'm not saying they're common or that any engineer can aspire to achieve one, I'm saying they exist, I've seen it first hand, and I don't understand why it's so hard for you to accept they exist. Nothing in your comment constitutes novel insight to me, and neither of us have a good measure as to which of us have more credibility than the other, but I suspect you're just judging based on your own narrow experience.

Edit, just for more context I'm speaking of FAANG level companies here and very rare individual unicorn engineers who have been specifically hired into these kinds of positions for past achievements that have impact across the whole industry. I would agree with your general skepticism in any other context.

UPI usage/traffic has grown orders of magnitude each year. That kind of growth isn't handled reliably by the best of the startups even today (remember twitter in its early years?). Banks do invest a lot of money/resources into running/managing UPI but that alone isn't enough. There is no substitute for time and experience (talent) that's needed for the culture change within bank IT teams to mature, and their leadership teams – they have to shift their thinking to deal with the pace of growth and frankly the pace of changes as well.

The argument this piece is built around is flawed on so many levels.

1) the author conflates tech basic literacy and preparation on the specific topic by the congress members and marks them as “being a tech expert”. Nobody asks them to know the ins and outs of the companies they’re scrutinizing, but just to be prepared about the matter that’s being discussed and to show some minimal tech literacy.

2) the author proceeds to switch to a different meaning of “expert” with a falsely modest tirade about he himself not being an expert. Sure you are, by all common meanings of “expert”, as you immodestly point out namedropping all your publications and collaborations.

3) after all this, the author settles for a meaning of expert that makes absolutely no sense: an all-knowing being that, thanks to some genius-like trait, is able to see everything from the outside and know the very specifics of everything they run.

Once he sets this new meaning nobody has ever agreed on, he proceeds to point out no such person exists. Maybe it could exist, but such a CEO-savant would be anti-economical to any company, a horrible stickler with a micromanaging obsession, that would spend time about knowing every new detail of his company (just check the amount of patents these companies file every year) instead of focusing on the vision and the long term.

The piece also completely disregards the fact that humanity has evolved to the point where we are right now exactly because humans are very good at building unsupervised complex system that don’t rely on the knowledge of the individual to function. We, as societies, are fundamentally primed to do that. Our social systems are exactly that.
Now, Silicon based technology has brought us another step forward in this, and we feel lost as we fail to grasp the enhanced complexity of what underlies out lives. I don’t see it as something new, and humans will evolve to adapt to this new layer of technology.

What I just read is a piece that tries to bend the meaning of “expert” to prove the point that nobody knows what tech is doing, as if big tech was just perpetuating itself as a sentient being. It’s a very slippery slope, that could be used to justify the people that physically drive the decisions of these companies. Decisions that are strategical, political, and above all taken by humans, not machines, who are well aware how to drive complex and multifaceted organizations to maximize profit and return to their investors.
