That's not what I meant. I mean that overusing the term "AI" is kinda bad and annoying but I think it's not doing the heavy lifting in the rapid adoption of these technologies and the buzz it creates.

Even if we just talked about large-scale high-performance statistical data processing, or "algorithmic automation" (AA) it would still be used everywhere, it would just be more difficult for laypeople to come to grips with it.

It's a bit as if people around 2000 were saying it's stupid to talk about "cyberspace", it's not some new space out there, it's just people sitting behind their computers connected by wires! But that term was not the reason for the hype.

Now, sure the label AI does contribute its share to the hype, but this stuff is so good that whatever way you call it (as long as it's not too many syllables), it will become a buzzword just for that reason. It's like euphemism treadmills. You can rename the concept, but it will re-acquire the same meanings. I mean "convolutional" managed to become quite a buzzword itself (even though it's a well defined technical term), as it appeared so often alongside really sexy stories.
You’re free to believe and think what you want. But if you believe that the Holocaust didn’t happen, Facebook isn’t obligated to let you use their platform to spread your beliefs to others.

In this case, as with others, they’ve identified that spreading lies about the reality of the Holocaust is hate speech, and they’re going to remove it from their platform.

The post is interesting but what I find a bit annoying with all the posts around SEO is that at the end, I just feel like I have to become a curator for the search engine in order to reach my audience.

At the end it shouldn't be like this, it's the search engines responsibility to surface the right content for the right audience.

I wish we had as many articles about how to communicate ideas in a more clear way as we have for how to annotate correctly your html code for the search engines.

Why are we presenting bigger, badder VPNs as the solution?

With core services to employees (e.g., email, calendar, office tools, filesharing, chat, collaboration, etc.) either serviced as a SaaS solution (e.g., GSuite, Office365, Slack, etc.) or hosted as VMs in a cloud provider (Exchange Server but on an Azure VM), the security moves to the application and the whole "walled castle" corporate network goes away. Then so do your VPN bandwidth problems.

Not even close for me. Every result I have ever had is a insanely strong ENFP. This tool came up with INFJ (.23). That said, I work really hard when I write something to advocate for a position and to examine how it could be interpreted (something that has burned me badly in the past), and it may be that behavior that is throwing it off.

Every web developer in the 2000s was a PHP dev. To a man with a PHP hammer, everything looks like a PHP nail. Hence Wordpress (although, I must admit Wordpress's plugin ecosystem was genius).

Every web developer in 2020 is a React dev. To a man with a React hammer, everything looks like a React nail. Hence, Gatsby.

In neither case did it really make sense to build simple marketing sites and blogs with those technologies, they are best suited for dynamic web apps.

But, the technology that all the devs want to put on their resumes will ultimately end up powering everything. Common sense be damned.

After the static site hype dies down I am hopeful that Webflow will become the defacto solution for marketing/blog sites going forward and the design/marketing teams can fully own them and manage all changes. I'd be happy if I never had to touch another marketing site again.

> I don't understand why, with React, you need to install a 3rd-party dependency just to update your meta tags.

You don't. This seems to be a common misunderstanding. You're free to and should write your meta tags (and everything else inside the head tag) in plain React components. It's enough to do this on the server side, but the document title should be updated client side, too. React-helmet is an antipattern.

The interior design of a room may suggest something about its seriousness, but there is no inherent association. That is why stereotypes are not always true, especially when trying to generalize U.S. military practices to Chile's government and the particular circumstances this room was built in.
Read again, I'm not disputing the fact that languages are created for fun. However when you start promoting a language and lure other people in contributing into your community, that (should) stops.

Agree. The value to the employer of two equally-talented and hard-working remote employees is the same. Why pay differently, and if you were paying different rates, I'd expect over time (a decade?) that differential would go away.
You are correct.
Moving to Seattle would grant me a 50k usd raise vs what I currently make.
The other issue besides getting paid less for the same value, is that the money doesn't get you as far as in the US, as the cost of living in Vancouver is high (more or less the same as in Seattle but in cad) and you have more taxes, so your 100k cad in Canada is much less than 100k usd in Seattle.

If you mention health insurance for the taxes, that's actually taxed to employers in BC, not employees, so it's not part of the taxes I pay.
> if it is anonymous, by definition it is not your location.

That's a really wacky contortion. Whose location is it then?

> nowhere states that your location is sent to Apple every time it is requested.

You're right. It's worse than that. I pointed out in that post that Apple periodically gets your location even if no app requests it. Apple also says that you consent to having your location collected every time another app requests it, so even if it is not true now (which you have not been able to show and which would mean they wouldn't need such a scary consent, so I highly doubt it), it can be true tomorrow.

The actually privacy-respecting Android devices from Amazon and Google do not suffer from this issue. Nor do they require you to tell anybody if you install an app on your device, tied to your identity, which you have once again ignored.
also maybe some creative work needs to be coupled with narratives, if intended for others.

For the example above, one could look at it as a meaningless blob, and someone else could describe it as a run-time behavior with y-axis representing time. Someone else could have some other interpretation. So a narrative could help it fit it in the intended place
I'll have to check up on the pronunciation of Berkeley Castle. We had a vowel shift a few centuries back and Berkeley is often pronounced "barclay" but not always. If the castle name uses the modern pronunciation then berk doesn't work!

What do you want to do?

When I studied CS, we started at the physics level working up our way: transistors, logical gates, 7 segment displays, von-Neumann architecture, ALUs etc. All of this is interesting, but I consider it to be a history lesson. It was also fun to translate programs to assembler and then putting them into registered by hand. This was technical CS. Never needed it again and far removed from current technologies (Modern systems are so much more complex)

When designing hardware I think for prototyping probably a Raspberry Pi, soldering iron, some access to a maker space get you further. If you then want to commercialize it, there are PCB designers and software out there that can help you. But then again it heavily depends on what you want to build.

I assume for hardware engineering even product design could be helpful.

Meyers Briggs screams nonsense to my intuition.
I'm aware that black metal components often have a protective black oxide layer. In another post in this thread I mention that the plastic 'furniture' could be made white at least. And in common police firearms, namely glocks, that's most of the gun that could be recovered. I don't think the Glock company offers such guns presently, but if there were widespread police aesthetic reforms I don't think supply would necessarily be a problem.

As for camouflage, I think police should be forbidden from using it. If a bank robber needs to be ambushed from the bushes in some sort of 'Bonnie and Clyde' scenario, let the beat police call in specialists. These armoured vehicles don't need camo in the likely scenarios in which they'd ever be used, particularly since the entire premise of such vehicles in a police role is that they'd be impervious to the small arm fire they might encounter. In a military role they might get hit by an RPG, but such anti-armour weapons are exceedingly unlikely to be relevant to police.
Right. If he had not intentionally tried to concentrate the patented gene, he'd have been ok. He could have used the defense that he didn't cause the contamination, so Monsanto was to blame. But by deliberately trying to get just the altered seeds (or descendants containing the patented gene) he lost the ability to use that defense.

So there are only two possibilities here: you have a USB-C charger, or you don't.

If you do, like I do, then you don't buy one. If you don't, then you buy one: Apple sells them, everyone else sells them.

There's nothing to talk about: I've thrown my last two included chargers in a box, where they languish next to my Lightning-cable-equipped EarPods. I'm unlikely to get a new phone in this cycle, but if I did, the difference would be two gizmos which I won't use, won't be included.
HN doesn’t require any real verification, not that there are any good verification solutions out there the “best” rely on mobile numbers which are both easily spoofed and also can lock you out sometimes as numbers do get reused.

By that “no true Scotsman” definition, there are very few commons. All land is owned by someone and there are still tragedy of the commons scenarios.

The important bit for a tragedy of the commons is that the users don’t have any meaningful ownership or motivation to fix the system.

The town commons where people grazed their livestock was literally owned by the government. Be it the government or a faceless company that doesn’t charge for it, it doesn’t make any difference from an economic perspective.

> Google owns their hard drive space. Also a commons has the implication of everyone having access to access said resource.

No it doesn’t. A commons has the implication that everyone in a particular community has access to something. A tragedy of the commons can easily occur within completely gated communities with the commons owned by a private corporation.
NAS -> Plex -> Nest Audio (or other Google speakers) would achieve this. If your NAS doesn't support Plex, you could easily run it on a Raspberry Pi if it's just for music.

You'd have to look at alternatives for the media server (Plex) if you want to use a Homepod though .. I'm pretty sure Plex doesn't support AirPlay.

If it's just wireless audio you're after and not a "smart speaker" then there's some not-too-tricky ways to do this in the DIY space. snapcast for instance supports AirPlay and might integrate nicely into your current setup: https://github.com/badaix/snapcast

The lightning port can essentially loosen over time, meaning the “snap” of the cable grips less and the plug can become susceptible to falling out. This has happened to me, even as someone who takes good care of his phone.
I'm pretty deep into the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Watch, iPad, MBP), but when it comes to smart speakers, I've always used a combination of Echo and Alexa-compatible Sonos devices.

The Alexa devices have always bothered me. Not just because of the baseline privacy concerns, but because it seems so damn easy to activate the trigger word on accident. The absolute worst part being a false positive activation of my Sonos system while watching a movie/show. When this happens (and it happens a lot), the audio volume of the show is lowered significantly to allow Alexa to hear the rest of the command.

Pause the show, wait til "she" stops listening, rewind the show very slightly because I missed whatever was just said due to the volume shift, resume the video, instantly pause again at the moment she was originally triggered until she stops listening, resume the show, this time without having to rewind since I paused soon enough not to miss any dialog.

Maddening.

And the fact that all of these false positives get sent straight to Amazon doesn't make me feel great.

I didn't need a HomePod for its audio quality since I already have great quality with the Sonos system, and couldn't justify the original HomePod's price as a command/control-focused smart speaker with a home already filled with Alexa devices.

All of that to say, HomePod mini is perfect for me.

I can throw out my Echos, disable Alexa on the Sonos system, and scatter a couple of Minis to replace the Echos.

This is something I didn't realize I wanted.
Exactly. Its a charade that's not in the best interest of customers of their service in order to get regulatory leverage on the 30% cut. I think people confuse the means (not support functionality that their customers want) with the ends (have a more level playing field against a competitor). I respect the ends they're trying to achieve but the means make me a dissatisfied customer.

I suspect another example of laissez-faire linguists might be the argument over (some) “non-inclusive words”. There were arguments here on HN want the words to move on in their meaning while others want to always connect words to their negative-origins (though some of these connections never actually existed).

My theory is that it is more popular not directly because it is less scientific, though for a closely related reason--because its so heavily marketed by the private firm behind it and their army of certified consultants, which has created lot of visibility (much of which is at least one step removed from the marketing, so that people are often not directly aware of the marketing.)
Right but that definition has drifted. That's not necessarily a problem in and of itself but in the process of drifting in this case it has obscured the original definition, which now is orphaned without a label. The problem therein is that it's left the discourse; since the subject of the old definition is more likely to precede and be a cause of the subject of the new definition, it seriously muddies the discourse and arguably the modes of thinking about the solution.
