Not only that, but they seem to focus on the steps they take rather than the results they had. Sure you can take some steps to reduce addictiveness or polarization, that doesn’t mean they had an actual effect nor take away the central argument that the documentary is making.

I believe most sensors are already available to web apps, but a big burden for games would be storing assets on the user's phone as something like Fortnite takes a few gigabytes even on iOS with lower resolution textures.
It isn't really a tragedy of the commons... what resource is being overused?

It is a collective action problem, which is really a type of prisoner's dilemma.

“Show me ads” only sounds less menacing than “try to change your behavior” because we’ve become accustomed to ads for a century.
I actually felt much better once I took of my watch, it's been lying in a drawer for almost two years now, and I don't miss it at all.

The constant notifications made life really stressful (I know you can turn them off), I even had a few people ask me if I had to go somewhere, because every time I had a notification, I had the urge to just look what it was.

The health tracking was really great, although I didn't had the cellular version, so I always had my phone with me anyway, which made the watch kind of useless. I'm sure it might be different if you have the cellular version and you can go for a run just with your watch.

Apple Pay always felt kind of awkward, mostly because of the placement of the terminals, so I always had to turn my wrist very awkwardly. Plus I always had my phone with me anyway, which does the same thing.

That's my experience with the Series 3, it's possible I might have a different experience now, but I really have no desire to buy a new one.
The state-overseen apparatus you might next jump to is a nightmare to me.

You would be ok with different tax rates for different size corporations?

A committee / agency to decide what is or is not an oligopoly? So, someone coming up with a new app that does something never done before, that would be a monopoly or oligopoly, right?

They do not just show ads. They also display content.

Existing in a filter bubble has a strong effect on your perception. Perception has a direct influence on your actions. Couple this with interfaces which are purposefully addicting ("high user engagement" is a euphemism), and you can very directly influence behavior.

The pervasiveness of smartphones means that these apps are only a few clicks away for virtually the entire world population. And worse, once these apps are installed on your phone, they relentlessly pull you back in with and endless stream of notifications.

It is not only Facebook. Applications like Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok all follow the same basic patterns.

It is not an overly dramatic description. If anything the public has been frightfully unaware of the influence that these companies can exert on the world. I am glad that this film has brought these issues into the spotlight.

> 1. It's possible for the advantages of restoring data to outweigh the societal cost of facilitating a criminal enterprise. For example, a patient has died in a hospital due to a ransomware attack. Would you prioritise saving human lives over sending some Bitcoin to some malware writer?

There's already overriding exceptions to all laws that allow you to do otherwise illegal in emergency circumstances. That's why we can say "You are not to vandalize someones house" without needing to add all the contrived ways that it could be done in a way to save someone (or yourself) etc.
The knee jerk reactions to so quickly dismiss Stephen is sad.

I’ve been on FB since the 1st year and after seeing all the major changes delivered with heaps and tons of hype about how mega engagement would bring the entire world into one big kumbaya circle, I find it hilarious the PR team thought they could get away with pointing fingers at someone for having too much sensationalism instead of substance.
They could have made an incremental move in that direction, though. And incremental moves could build up to something more over multiple generations of the Apple Watch.

I expected they'd be coming out with a more efficient SoC for the new Watch, and they did in the S6. But they chose to use the extra efficiency to divert more power to a brighter display instead of provide more battery life.
> the door pops open itself after it finishes washing). Incidentally this feature is a premium feature

I'm not so sure about it being a premium feature. Maybe it's different where you are located but a quick search on German price comparison websites showed dishwashers as cheap as 280€ having this feature.
If you want to risk a country that is currently cheap and might soon brighten up a lot, there was a Hacker News thread on Bulgaria, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21113203

Why would they even have such logic? Especially since the only open wifi points are captive portal ones?

But if there's just no open wifi points around then you can still be pretty certain of this.

Lawyers are trained to advocate for either side of a case. While they often develop a preference for staying on one side or the other, they should be able argue for either side.

When I was an 1L, some classmates were very good at arguing one side (usually the good-guy side) and then they would fall to pieces if professors asked them to advocate for the other side. Even to the point of saying there was no feasible argument for the other side.

Trial lawyers work with evidence and law. Deciding what the facts are is the business of judges or juries.
Take "make you buy" - are they "making" you do it, or are you in the market for a camera and they're providing you with a really nice choice of one that will likely suit your needs?

The answer of course is somewhere in between depending on context. People don't have zero agency, but they also don't have 100% agency.
Did your distinction really deepen the conversation? Why are people compelled to make corrections like this?

This is a wholly false statement. Exceptions are used almost everywhere C++ is used. Google is a peculiar outlier, and suffers for it. You can read right in the cited document why they were obliged to give up using exceptions. It imposes huge costs which Google happens, by virtue of monopoly status, to be equipped to afford.

As an American and a Democrat who lives in Texas, I think I’m one of the people who would be more likely to be suppressed at the polls.

Stop upvoting this hot mess of Facebook marketing propaganda. There is more nuanced ways to discuss the impact and more importantly the societal cause of the cancer that is Facebook but it’s definitely not a PDF from their marketing team.
Not specific to Apple, as always.

But implemented with care, as always.

You can switch between a white light and red light. The light automatically dims if you look at the watch and brightens when you aim it away. You can turn off the light by putting your palm on the display.

This is called User eXperience, which is what Apple excels at. Other companies quite often have the exact same features before Apple does - on paper - but the implementation is haphazard at best.
That's total time spent on social media. According to the source, Facebook's usage is 38 minutes a day. I suppose this also counts people who don't use Facebook though.
Facebook feels threatened by a dramatized documentary? That’s unexpected.

Surely the way someone identifies public doesn't necessarily match with reality.
Disconnect may not be enough, best is to wire a resistor in place of the antenna, of the same resistance of the antenna, which will shed the attempt to use the antenna as heat.

(I disconnected the antenna on my OnStar, yet found it still connecting to cell towers successfully from time to time. The resister solved that.)

Speaking of LXD, can we talk about the mess that LXD on WSL2 is?

Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2 doesn't use systemd which means no snapd which means no LXD.

This happens due to a series of really bad decisions by canonical and Microsoft. The biggest one being "apt install lxd" attempts to install the snap version but fails silently when snapd is missing.
"We already know that the lending model for print works just fine, and I see it as no more than a threat than that."

The article addresses that. There's much less friction/effort to borrow and return a physical book, than there is to borrow and return a digital version of the same book.

So, all other things being equal, the # sales displaced by one ebook under CDL is going to be higher than that of a physical book, assuming both have the same shelf life and there are no restrictions on lending except for one-at-a-time.
In a word, not.

So much this.
I bought an oven. I wanted as few features as possible, ideally just a bake and a grill, then a knob for the amount of heat.
I bought one with 2 knobs and that appeared to have very few ‘features’. It turns out it does a ton. You hold both knobs and do various twiddle manoeuvres and things start happening. The light turns on, the clock adjusts, the timer is set, the eco mode is activated or the temperature goes up. It’s awful. Smeg.

I don’t understand why you seem to imply that half arsing your education is fine if it means you get a job? Why not make the best of it and get a job?

Any Indian with access to a computer can potentially be a (much) better hire than the one from the most desired engineering college. In fact, I’d almost have to expect so since they don’t have to waste time on all that signalling.

It’s unfortunate that that apparently doesn’t matter to the companies doing the hiring :/
Can some knowledgable person articulate why physicists are so sure that QM and GR are incompatible?

I doubt it's in the european context, as it seems unlikely these would qualify for AOC/DOC/AOP.

https://www.inao.gouv.fr/content/download/1840/18727/version... (VI - Conduite du vignoble / 2° - Autres pratiques culturales) contains:

> "Toute modification substantielle de la morphologie, du sous-sol, de la couche arable ou des éléments permettant de garantir l’intégrité et la pérennité des sols d’une parcelle destinée à la production de l'appellation d'origine contrôlée est interdite, à l’exclusion des travaux de défonçage classique."

which suggests hydroponics would not be kosher, being modification of the arable layer.

Indeed, looking at the local AOC cahier, within each commune we only allow production from certain parcels.

(We have a lot of hobby vignerons, the smallest registered vineyard here being only 0,16 ha, so I doubt grapes are a bottleneck.)

But since it itself has had significant security flaws, since it's so difficult to log in without apple devices, and since you cant trust Apple to be neutral (they recently deleted all Sign-In-With-Apple Accounts from Epic, even though that has very little to do with their dispute and will hurt customers more than Epic), I'd rather reuse my email a couple of times than sell even more of my soul to this volatile company.

As others have correctly pointed out, this is a fun, ongoing project on server clusters built using real hardware with real limitations. My laptop from 2018 has 64GB RAM... and would it even matter to say that I already have several high-performance machines? I am not sure what your point is. I did not buy Raspberry Pis to save money, I bought them to have a bunch of small physical servers to play around with. I could have easily started 8 VMs bridged to the network in the same way with virt-manager/QEMU and got 8 much more powerful Linux instances for free if that's what I wanted.
I didn't realize how much these platforms police our thoughts until I started diggin around for stock footage on wikimedia commons. It only took a few hours before I was watching air strikes on iraqi communities, nuclear tests, people jumping to their deaths during 9/11. This stuff gets buried on social media, and it doesn't even appear on TV, yet I think it's important for all modern Americans to view it, because I believe most people would think differently and make different decisions if they saw such things.
or immigration.
Yesterday I watched The Social Dilemma, and I just wanted to share some of my experiences: I quit FB as a user in 2011. In 2013, when I was 25, I received a high paying job offer to work at FB. Going to SV was a long-time dream, but in the end I took the hard decision not to take the offer. Ultimately I really don't like what FB does. The perks and salary don't compensate for that.

I'm still on HN, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. Every time I open LinkedIn I'm shocked at how addictive the feed is. I go there to message someone and before you know it 10 minutes have gone by and I forgot what I went to do in the first place. WhatsApp is really great, except that is owned by FB and they still extract value from me.

In 2015 I turned off all notifications on my phone. Quiting FB and no notifications have really improved my state of mind.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how I use social media, but I'm very worried about how my kids will be able to handle it in their teens.
What competitive market? There are basically two airline manufacturers and all American Airlines have merged into the star alliance and their service is horrible. Maybe it would better if there was a vertically integrated airline company, why wouldn’t it?
You are not wrong. But your world view is a bit too simplistic. Real world is a messy place. Hence consumer protection is a thing.
To add to this, various things try to bypass the Pihole by doing their own DNS. Google devices skip the Pihole, and I’ll bet others do too. You can catch at least some of the bad behaviour by blocking all outbound port 53 traffic that isn’t from the Pihole, or redirect it back to the Pihole.

I’m sure this will be beaten though.
The entire lingo of this “release” is mind-numbingly vapid: “made improvements in...”, “partnered with ${vague}”, “take steps to...” Many words saying nothing.
Not a great argument. Because they would not be doing that on our existing computers -- they would be offering new computers that you could choose to buy with that "feature" or not. And you're perfectly free to buy a different computer, use open source, any number of alternatives where no cut is taken.

With phones, this was the model from nearly the beginning, and everyone opts in, or chooses not to.
First time hearing about GitHub not ignoring a spam report.
Me and other maintainers of a project have reported a dozen users making obvious junk PR and issues containing few random words and all other activity similar random junk. GitHub did nothing, no response beside automatically generated one, spam accounts still there. The spam came in waves 3-6 within an hour, with only option temporary block all external contributions from non team members. After getting temporary blocked the spam reapers few months later. I assume that's some kind of fake account farming.
Was this intended for public consumption?

Directly responding to the film by name is such an obviously terrible idea PR-wise, I’m shocked to even be seeing this from Facebook. It must be an accident.

Haha. I love how despite being so simple, it still has instructions below the one knob explaining how to use it:

With the door closed, turn the timer to the desired time. Oven will begin operating immediately. To shut oven off manually, return timer to 0.

So you would think, but with apple watch I’ve realized that some days I feel like I’ve walked a lot, it’s actually much less than i had thought.
Yes, they've stopped making them, the FM3a was the last one, sold as a backup camera to pro photographers, heh. Affordable? Old Yashicas and plasticky Minoltas, better maybe a Pentax ME. But I totally love the FE2/FM3a, they've got that mechanical feel. Maybe the Pentax ME Super comes close enough, plus nicer lenses.

Instant film camera, get a Ricoh GR1 or an Olympus XA. I have the digital GRD III, it's still great and I find myself using it all the time although it was released in 2009.

There are Rolleiflex alternatives like the Yashicamat but the lenses are just not quite as good. Zeiss has a special feel to it, I cannot describe it. Especially geat for portraits.
I see that around in supermarkets here. Cheap garbage from you-know-where.
I think what the author is trying to say is that the average TV which a consumer wants to buy these days is above that.
Or buy a cheap good one ( eg Edgerouter Lite or X) and block them there, or put them on their own subnet.
no power on ad either? i use our tv the same way, as a huge computer monitor via hdmi. then i run kodi on a laptop as a media center
As others have mentioned, you can turn off enemies. But the 'true' factorio way is to _automate your defenses_. You can automatically build turrets, have robots place them, build bullets to go along with them and have them delivered to the turrets. Once you get it down it 'just works' and you dont really need to think about it.
