Well, that may be the pretext, but of course they are chosen because they are famous. People buying it justify it by saying they want to "learn" something, but as you say it would be much cheaper - and certainly more effective - to buy a book.

Compare this to Lynda or The Teaching Company. They both have amazingly high quality content, and choose teachers solely based on their ability to teach, not their fame. Lynda is focused on imparting directly applicable knowledge whereas TTC focused on serving the intellectually curious (these days they are inching ever closer to your typical airport self-help offering).
I don't know many programmers who are jumping to use Haskell for their personal projects. What you use at work is usually determined by the surrounding infrastructure but at home you can use whatever you want for productivity and yet most people continue to use their favorite non-functional language. If it's really 10x better and can overcome network effects then shouldn't we see a lot of Haskell personal projects?
"While we are far from understanding how the mind works, most philosophers and scientists agree that your mind is an emergent property of your body. In particular, your body’s connectome. Your connectome is the comprehensive network of neural connections in your brain and nervous system. Today your connectome is biological. "

This is a pretty speculative thesis. It's not at all clear that everything relevant to the mind is found in the connections rather than the particular biochemical processes of the brain. It's a very reductionist view that drastically underestimates the biological complexity of even individual cells. There's a good book, Wetware: A Computer in Every Living Cell, by Dennis Bray going into detail on how much functionality and physical processes are at work even in the most simplest cells that is routinely ignored by these analogies of the brain to a digital computer.

There is this extreme, and I would argue unscientific bias towards treating the mind as something that's recreatable in a digital system probably because it enables this science-fiction speculation and dreams of immortality of people living in the cloud.

Doesn't it depend on the way you package your library?

This tutorial [0] puts the building in "prepare", which means it will be built by anyone installing the library. But it won't be built yet in the version uploaded to NPM, so it would be correct to say that the package uploaded to NPM doesn't contain JavaScript.

Why do we care if China censors things? Don't US social media companies censor large swaths of content? The reddit bans just happened. You can call it hate speech, but some disagree. Yet those communities and posts were still censored. What is the difference if it's a business or a government doing the censoring?

Work sample tests are legal; otherwise we wouldn't see tech companies giving whiteboard interviews.

More general tests are not legal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griggs_v._Duke_Power_Co.) unless you can demonstrate that they "bear a demonstrable relationship to successful performance of the jobs for which it was used". On the other hand, they held that "neither the high school completion requirement nor the general intelligence test is shown to bear a demonstrable relationship to successful performance of the jobs for which it was used" so I think there's a decent chance that the widespread use of college degrees as a filter is also already illegal.

Yes, I love this! I try to convince my students to work on something they find interesting, even to take risks in doing so. My experience is that they tend to do better work when the topic reflects their own curiosity, obsessions.

Unfortunately the educational system I work in prioritizes conformity. I don't blame them for having a hard time taking a risk.
I don't really use movies, music, or twitch, yet I've been on this site for a long time. Amazon's prime movie/TV content hasn't ever been anything that I've felt the need to click on. I've enjoyed the shipping and the ease of purchases.

It's mind-boggling to me that we allow this sort of thing, and that brazenly putting on a job description that you want to hire someone to help thwart legally-protected labor organizing isn't something a company can get fined -- or worse -- over.
No that line is different from the GPL. For example, you could still sell the software without distributing the source or without allowing users to link against your code.

What needs fixing is not just replacing the word "subset" with the word "superset," but the entire argument in the paragraph. Your argument is based on your misunderstanding. Valid TS in not necessarily valid JS. No informed person will claim that you can just drop TS into a JS project the same way you can drop JS into TS. Also, no one is publishing TS to NPM, and certainly not for the (mistaken) reason you describe.

I had never encountered that in all my 6 years on HN, until recently when I tried to take the side of the mob's targets as loudly as the voices decrying them in such "conversations".

As strong as the engineering behind Bottlerocket seems to be, I'm not entirely sure who they built it for, except as a foundational component for AWS's managed offerings.

If you, as an AWS customer, decide to fully embrace AWS lock-in, then why would you run this yourself on an EC2 instance instead of running ECS or EKS? If you're trying to avoid AWS lock-in, why would you choose an OS that's locking you into AWS Systems Manager and Amazon Linux 2 for debugging needs?
Ah, good catch. The GP used a markdown syntax that HN doesn't support. I've fixed the links. Thanks!

Yeah I'm familiar with branded types, but they're cumbersome and require API changes beyond just type narrowing to implement. I just wish they'd figure out how to implement strong types in typescript without js side effects.

> It's not at all clear that everything relevant to the mind is found in the connections rather than the particular biochemical processes

I wouldn't expect anyone to consider the connectome to be absent the processes inside each of the individual neurons that are connected. I consider this to mean just that it's an emergent property of the collection working in concert. After all, everything is just connections all the way down, even deep inside individual cells.

Thanks for writing this! When I got an iMac Pro in 2017 with an accompanying LG UltraFine 5K display I was shocked to learn three things: 1) adjusting the brightness on the internal display is easy but on the LG it's a pain in the ass, 2) despite having ambient light sensor hardware the LG does not automatically adjust its brightness like the internal display, and 3) macOS offers no built-in mechanism to sync the brightnesses of these two displays.

Before learning these things I was feeling excited about Apple's re-committing to the Mac around that time, but man these things made it feel like such "commitment" was just surface level - such low-hanging fruit not being handled is a shame. But, this is a rant for another day.

Anyway, I built my own very simple utility to poll the internal display for its brightness and write that same brightness to the LG via DDC, but never had the time/energy to make it more robust for publishing to the web. I have yet to try Lunar but I definitely will; much appreciated.
These discussions never seem to recognize the role of privacy for empowering oppressors. Shining light into the darkness is the metaphor used by journalists. What if there was no or drastically less darkness?

How would the Uyghur example be different if the Chinese governments discussions, plans, and actions were public knowledge? More implementable, if every citizen concerned that they were at risk ran a self monitoring system that could be purchased or issued by NGOs or reporters which created a public document of their treatment.

What if the German population had been shown the images of torture and abuse so that they could know what the politics were doing? What if married soldier's philandering and rape were shared with their partners?

What if today in the U.S. the smaller scale oppressions of domestic violence were thoroughly documented for courts and automatically detected to provide systemic support? What if "he said, she said" was a problem of the past?

What if every government official's behavior was publicly documented so that any bad actors could be proactively and clearly identified and their good actions could be commended?

What if your argument with your partner(s) or friends were reviewable so that you never had to argue about what you said, you could check it and apologize for what you said (or be apologized to) and get back on track to building understanding instead of entrenching in conflict?

There are obvious challenges that would need to be thought through but it might be worth considering.
It is, and there's evidence that has happened in the US.

The Pinkertons have been busting unions for over a century - they have pretty much explored the full range of options for worker suppression available to capital.

False flags can be a powerful tool (but becoming less so, as surveillance makes deniability harder).
And if we put everyone in jail preemptively, there is no need to prosecute them.

I'm from St. Louis, so while acknowledging some pretty obvious bias, I'd argue that the decline of rust-belt cities has been totally misunderstood, and a lot of it has to do with a pretty simple accounting error. Many of these old cities have narrow urban municipal borders and what happened is that as the cities grew beyond these borders their statistical presentation disconnected from the actual reality of what it's like to live there.

For example, "St. Louis" (as in the city itself) consists only of the innermost 62 sq/mi of the St. Louis metro area.

This has numerous perception-distorting effects:

1. First of all, there's raw size. The region has 2.8 million people. It's much bigger than, say, Austin, Portland, or San Antonio, but you wouldn't know that from a list of the country's biggest cities. This is entirely an artifact of how the municipal boundaries are drawn. In every meaningful way, St. Louis is bigger. These rust-belt cities didn't "lose" as many people as you think. Those people just moved slightly out from the core across across arbitrary municipal borders.

2. Second, because of how the city developed, most of region's poorest people live within those core-city boundaries, so the region appears much poorer than it really is, which generates a chorus of statements like, "I'd move to the Midwest, but there are no jobs." The region's median household income is $62,790. It's $78,478 in NYC. Do you think the cost of living difference between the two is only $16k per year? It most definitely is not.

3. Related to the second point: because nearly all the violent crime in St. Louis occurs in a handful of neighborhoods in the core city and because most of the region is not included in those statistics, the region also appears much more dangerous than it actually is. The crime in those neighborhoods is a tragedy and a serious problem, but the way we do the statistical accounting makes the region appear to be much more dangerous than other regions that more or less have the exact same crime patterns. You are not less safe in most parts of St. Louis than in other similarly-sized metros.

This country is full of people who are discounting places they'd likely be very happy living in. The antidote is to always normalize regional comparisons. You can use MSAs or urban agglomerations or whatever floats your boat. But what you should basically never use are political designations, which are arbitrary, historically-contingent, and generally not very useful.
It perhaps shouldn't be surprising that a website for wannabe capitalists views workers having greater negotiating power extremely suspiciously, yet is enthusiastic towards employers having near-absolute power over their employees.
I have prime and don't use any of those features you mentioned. I would expect the majority of users use at most one of those extra services and wouldn't blink at keeping prime if they were to disappear.
The old Edge had its own rendering and JS engine.

The new Edge uses Blink for both.
I wish monitors in general had better (and open) firmware. It would be really cool if for example I could have my laptop plugged into my desktop's monitor and have it show up as a "window" on my desktop. All it would take would be for some simple driver on my desktop to tell the monitor where to draw the image when I moved the window around. Basically a better version of the mostly useless PiP feature my monitor already has.
There aren't even cameras recording what's happening inside most airplanes.
Agreed, my parents are the same way. She refuses target, and I don't know why. The 5% card discount doesn't even convince her, nor the empty lines, wider aisles, etc.

I can't handle Walmart's anymore, maybe it's pandemic times, but they're overstretched, overcapacity, multiple of people in one place and a frenzy. They weren't always like that too.
I agree on the point of desktop. I do listen on both desktop and phone. I wanted to flush out the idea on desktop with a mobile friendly version. I have the ability to generate an app using NativeScript. Which is hopefully coming soon.

The inspiration came from while listening to podcasts and wanting to take notes about interesting content within each episode. Podcastmarks allows me to bookmark specific points within an episode and add a note so I can refer back to it at a later time.

I really appreciate the feedback!

Sex workers are workers. But they don't have the same labor protections as any other blue collar or white collar job. The stigma from a cultural side is pretty small, especially given the millions of dollars flowing into online sex work.

The stigma from sex work being in a legal grey zone affects those who rely on the income to support themselves and their family.

Also I would be interested to know what other professions you consider "luxury service work" since I can't seem to find a proper definition readily.
The linked article clearly demonstrates that running apps without notarization on macOS is much more complicated than you describe it to be, to the point of it feeling insurmountable for less technical users.

Perhaps you've configured your device in a way that gives you an easier execution path, or the app is employing a workaround to bypass Gatekeeper.

It seems MacDown uses such a temporary workaround to make the process less painful for macOS users: https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/1106#issuecomme...
There are varying levels of lock-in. A Linux distribution to run containers is a lot easier to replace than, say, a database with a proprietary query language custom semantics.
> Virtually nobody needs a 3090, much less a gamer (let's be honest, though, many will buy one regardless).

That statement is absolutely true regarding me. Honestly, I don't need a gaming system at all, let alone one with such a powerful GPU. But even in terms of my leisure-time gaming, I could never justify the price difference over a much cheaper card.

Still, I could imagine it making a lot more sense for other people. E.g., pro gamers, people with big entertainment budgets, or people using CUDA for number-crunching.
this is inflammatory/provocative nonsense which serves no purpose except to derail discussion. please delete it.
Maybe true for MDs. But many lawyers, especially solo firms struggle to get by.

I did some low-fee legal for awhile part-time because I was still programming after I got my JD. I think I charged $250/hr or flat fees but I did a lot of free/contingency cases too. As a solo you rarely bill 8-hours a day. Between running around to meet clients or driving to different courts in the area some days you are lucky to bill a few hours.

One guy got angry at me because I wanted $250 (or something like that) "just to read" his DIY complaint before he filed it. "Just to make sure everything looked okay..." He didn't realize that he would be establishing an attorney client relationship with me that would obligate me to give competent legal advice that put my license on the line. That is way beyond just reading his complaint. The same goes for reviewing contracts, non-competes, etc. I eventually read the complaint he had prepared since he sent it to me earlier, boy I dodged a bullet on that one. It would have taken a ton of work to get it even close to ready for filing.

I did some low-fee family law stuff too -- one client thought I was taking the side of her ex, because I didn't raise her legally irrelevant complaints in court. I still got her more money than any other family lawyer would have done for the small fee she paid. I think I charged her a flat $1100.

In a low stakes employment discrimination case, my client had been rejected by multiple attorneys before she ran into dumb me. I took the case and got the client a six figure settlement. Client promptly took me to arbitration because she thought my share to was too high even though it was well below industry standard.

Eventually I got tired of this crap and sold out and went corporate.
I think the cnet article may have that point wrong, or at least confusingly worded. I can't find anywhere where Walmart says the order must be $35 to get free delivery with this program, and I know that without subcribing to anything Walmart already offers free shipping on orders over $35. However even on Walmart's own pages it really isn't clear what exactly you get in regards to shipping costs with this program.
Nobody gets nastier than the self-proclaimed good guys.
