Been there. I posted about this before but I own a 5 character common first and last name @gmail.com address. I get misdirected emails _constantly_.

Usually I am polite about it and let people know, but sometimes I make a game of it. I was invited to participate in a drum circle with an offer to pay for my flight to which I replied that I would love to join, but they would also have to pay for drum lessons. I got a mother insisting that I come home for the weekend to which I replied that I am home, perhaps she hadn't knocked hard enough.. etc.

At one point I got like 15 emails deriding me and my choice to "not support firefighters". Turns out that a member of a city council had listed his email as councilman.<me>@gmail.com and most people just ignored everything before that period. I took it as a challenge to see what the most outlandish thing I could say was that would be believed. Some of the better attempts: "My wife had an affair with a firefighter once!" and "My house has never burned down, why do we even need these guys?".. etc.

With most of the financial emails you can unsubscribe at least. =/
> - Sluggish UI -> I've never experienced this in the last three years of using my 2017 MBP.

I have. Performance generally degrades over time for me.

> - Slow and large updates -> I honestly don't pay much attention as I have updates install automatically while I'm sleeping, but what size differences have you noticed?

Most OS X updates take the system down for 30+ minutes while you're staring at the black screen w/ white Apple logo. By contrast most Linux systems can update in the background, and a reboot after an update takes no more time than a normal reboot, because it is a normal reboot.
My experience of those features a few months ago has been poor, particularly for Powerpoint, so I turned to HN for advice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23245552

Some of the proposed solutions were very nice, particularly Draftable - but it's expensive and my bosses didn't feel it was worth it. To this day they still work on huge slide decks that are partially shared, but I'm just not involved anymore with that side of things so I stopped pushing. I still think a way of tracking Powerpoint decks on a slide-by-slide basis, with partial merging and synching, would be really good to have (existing features for embedding are '90s-era).

For Word there are quite a few solutions nowadays, most are clearly superior to the stuff Office ships with. So the problem is still there, just not as bad as 15 years ago.

I'm aware; there was certainly lag time between the event & the reporting, though. It's relatively likely that the PIC knew of the emergency declaration 10-20 minutes before it was triggering push notifications on devices. Regardless, I'm legitimately curious what the outcome of his flight was that day.
I wonder how they are doing it? simply re-evaluating every cell?
Thanks, I like this breakdown. It was why it was a big deal last week when Apple was trying to get 30% of WordPress hosting fees and then backed down and apologized.

Where it all falls apart: Apple recently targeted 30% of Airbnb's (and ClassPass') virtual experiences revenue. These experiences do not make the app itself better (others were saying here these are done via Zoom). It's a transaction to set up people performing for others (not a purely digital good) in another app like Zoom. It doesn't really change/improve the Airbnb app. ... But Apple aims to treat it as an in-app-purchase...

Unlike with the Wordpress controversy, Apple has not backed down or apologized to ClassPass/Airbnb, demanding both still comply with the 30% rule by year's end.

It's true that China doesn't suffer from a shortage of labor force. However, wages raised a lot, and almost-free labor is more interesting financially.
After second thoughts, I think it may be possible that on a regional scale, local officials would find such practice highly profitable.

The party goal is not to be highly profitable (they are already), it's to stay in power as long as they can. Of course money can help in that goal, but such practices, if they leak and are confirmed, would just erode the stability of the state.
I feel the cons are too high and pros too low, politically, to do such atrocities on a country scale.
That’s not always true. I’ve sent an email from not Gmail service, it returned the non-exists error

If you want to go down that path, you must also include long-term impairment of life function

E.g., a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox is out for the season due to a heart condition brought on by COVID-19, prognosis unknown. [1]

You don't get any healthier than a professional athlete for a top major sport, and although this guy likely will not die, he is off the field in in danger of losing his career.

And yes, I know several 80, and even 100-year olds that are a lot more sharp and physically active than many 40 year olds. Age is not the mere number you think it is. Genetics and decades of healthy/unhealthy choices create massive variations in healthspan and lifespan - you simply do not know that your "typical" 80-year-old has a near expiration date - (s)he could have decades of healthy, happy life ahead.

The high friction with Jitsi is browser permissions.

My Lenovo IdeaPad has a sliding cover for the webcam. It's about the same size as a MacBook, sports 32 GB or RAM, an 8 core Ryzen and 2 M2 SSDs for ~900€. The trackpad is fine, and the WiFi reaches about 300Mbps. I'm quite happy with it (too bad they put a large black band at the bottom of the screen instead of a 16:10 one...)
You're asking a very tricky "what if" question and implying a better result without evidence.

There are only 3 countries with the potential to become superpowers in the modern age -- USA, Russia, and China. Hegemony by one of the three is inevitable.

It is up to YOU to provide proof that Russia or China would be better choices.

President Roosevelt said "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." The US foreign policy has gone very far with that idea. A large military then economic pressure is what led to the collapse of the USSR. The same tactic has kept North Korea, Iran, and other despotic countries at bay for decades.

Today, Trump and Biden both have endorsed a similar approach to China. Build up the military presence around China and pile on economic pressure until they collapse (trying to walk the fine line to avoid war).

Unlike the US, China and Russia/USSR have killed tens to hundreds of millions of their own people. Do you really think there would be fewer deaths if China or Russia were the dominant power? If they're willing to kill their own so casually, they're going to be even more barbaric with foreigners.

I'd ask again, do you have any proof that the alternatives are better?
For reference, the report’s conclusion: “Through a thorough, transparent, and inclusive process, the FAA preliminarily determined that Boeing’s proposed changes to the 737 MAX design, flight crew procedures and maintenance procedures effectively mitigate the airplane-related safety issues that contributed to the Flight 610 and Flight 302 accidents. The FAA further preliminarily determined that the proposed design change also addressed additional safety concerns beyond those identified during the accident investigations. This report does not address other safety issues that might have contributed to the accidents but are not related to airplane design, including maintenance, aircraft operator, and air traffic control. The FAA believes recommendations related to these other potential contributing factors should be addressed bythe appropriate organizations. Further, the FAA will evaluate Boeing’s proposed flight crew training through the Flight Standardization Board process. The FAA will issue a draft Boeing 737 Flight Standardization Board Report documenting the results of the operational evaluation. The report will be posted for public comment. You may subscribe to this page to receive notification when the FAA posts the draft report.”

At it's best, sci-fi is a great canvas for social commentary. You can use present day concerns and take them out to their ultimate conclusions to highlight the risks and rewards of taking our society down a certain path. That also means sci-fi is very much a product of the time it was created. If cyberpunk is getting less relevant, it's only because our society's concerns have moved on from corporate skepticism to corporate embrace and from techno-fear to techno-love. The cyber tech itself has gone from new to mundane. The next anxieties will produce the next sci-fi.

Because ham radio is fun. It's a different hobby than the other myriad ways of communications which you describe. It's a radio service explicitly dedicated to the personal enjoyment of radio. It is not a personal communication service in the likes of FRS, GMRS, or even part 15 (wifi), microwave, or cellular networks.

Think of ham radio as a sandbox for radio experimentation. There is a LOT to ham radio that you've overlooked.

It is however unfortunate for many commenters on HN is that encryption is not allowed on amateur spectrum, but it's important that it stays this way. The amateur radio spectrum is worth billions of dollars to the telecom industry, but we've been fortunate to have it protected by the FCC (in the US) and international agreements. If encryption were allowed, there would be no reasonable means of verifying that a communication on ham radio is compliant to its regulations, especially those preventing communications of a pecuniary interest. In other words, encryption would open the doors to telecom companies and other businesses to use amateur spectrum instead of acquiring a license for radio services that would otherwise suit their needs, i.e. an illegal workaround to save money from licensing fees. Encryption also puts a downer on the spirit of ham radio, which is built on random conversations between the technically minded folk on ham radio to share information and knowledge of ham radio itself. You can't drop in on an encrypted conversation.

There could be changes to regulations that would mitigate these concerns (for example periodic unencrypted plain text/voice identification, private keys made public and broadly shared, etc), but such changes would be hard to come by, especially blocked by international bureaucratic processes, and a lot of the "old guard" fearful for the state of their hobby were encryption to be allowed.

Ham radio also has a broad base of experienced communications volunteers, which comes in handy during earthquakes, hurricanes, rural/remote search and rescue, in which the amateur service supplants ruined communications infrastructure while telecommunications companies and governments mobilize their recovery efforts. Examples include 9/11, Hurricanes Katrina, Maria, Irma, Andrew, and more, numerous fires in the west US, earthquakes of Haiti, Iran, China, and Indonesia; and even plays a role in ground-truth tornado spotting and tracking.

A few things have changed Boeing's culture, but none more so than the McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997. MD brought with it a culture that put safety second, emphasized defense contracts, and gutted programs in favor of profits. (IMO)

The culture continued to emphasize profits first through Jim McNerney, and searched for ways to cut costs at every turn.

No? Infinite scroll is usually just a direct translation of SQL cursor semantics into the frontend. And an SQL cursor (or its equivalent for a disstributed store) is an optimal choice for a situation where:

1. there's a potentially-huge result set;

2. almost nobody ever wants to see the whole result set, but rather almost always just wants to see the first N chunks, and then drops off;

3. the results are sourced from a data lake, or from eventually-consistent geographic shards, or any other process where you need to actively gather results together with a map-reduce.

When these three factors apply, it becomes very expensive to know exactly how many results you will have, because that changes your partial streaming map-reduce workload into a complete map-reduce workload, over potentially billions of records, just to validate their inclusion and then count them.

Think "Twitter timeline." If every client displaying a Twitter timeline needed to know in advance how many tweets they could ever see, total, if they "scrolled all the way back" — then Twitter's servers would fall over from the load of calculating that number.

Another example is Google Search, which, while not "infinite scroll" on the client, is still a "map-reduced stream" on the backend. Google has put some extra effort into heuristic scheduling logic for its Search map-reduce: it grabs an initial 20-page-or-so chunk of the stream and caches it on a sticky-session node for you. This means that, if your search-result set is less than 20 pages, you get to know the actual result-set size. If it's more than 20 pages, though, Google Search reverts to exactly the same "you'll only know when you're at the end when you get there" semantics of SQL cursors. You see the first 20 pages, with a "next" arrow to go beyond them; and then it just starts counting up, and up, and up...
