> I switched from Spotify to Youtube Music as a matter of principle after that drama.

That's funny, since I did the opposite when Google forced me to switch from Google Music to Youtube Music. I have decided to avoid Google services when possible, since they invariably end up unsupported and later killed off and maybe replaced with a worse option.

I also want to stay away from services from companies that doesn't have that service as their main focus. Google clearly doesn't really care about music, but it's pretty much all Spotify cares about. Apple isn't really a music company, but unlike Google they care about a coherent user experience within their ecosystem. I won't buy from Apple for different reasons, but compare Apple Watch and WatchOS, Apple TV and Youtube TV, Apple Music and Youtube Music, and so on. Picking a Google consumer service is almost always a guarantee for worse quality and an uncertain future.

For the same reasons I wouldn't touch Google Stadia, there's other companies with clearer gaming focus and better track record of keeping services available.
This reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in a long time. In the earlier days of bitcoin, there was a chat app that was using encrypted messages on the blockchain... I just spent ~5mins searching for it but can't remember the actual name. Is there anything else using the blockchain for chat?

Try Qubes OS instead, it gives a great peace of mind.
Probably not across the ocean, but how about having a carrier (like an aircraft-carrier) to carry them across said ocean and then launching these for the last few dozen kms? (This is maybe a dumb plan, because the slow carrier can be easily detected, and the sea might still be bad a few km close to the coast...).

I wonder if cruising over the Arctic ice would've worked...

Thank you for confirming the things I have suspected for a long time.

Maybe it's the path I took in the industry but I had the displeasure of having to automate the installation of Adobe security updates to tens of thousands of Windows boxes a decade ago right through having to (briefly) write software targeting a customer's Adobe Experience Manager product in the last couple of years. There's a long rant bubbling up about AEM, but I'll resist the temptation and just say a suitable 4-letter word, instead.

Their products cost a fortune and for the privilege of forking over your hard-earned money, the company does things like this. I still own a license for one of the older versions of Photoshop post-Activation. I corrected it in a manner that would probably qualify as "cracking it" before ever activating after having run into grief with the product at my day job (at the time). Anymore, if there's a reasonable alternative, that's the kind of stupid I won't spend my money on.
How can I read the full article without having a economist subscriber? It is really annoying to have this walled garden for news that do not support price parity for lower income countries (I live in one).
It’s also about how you define intelligence:

>“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

I haven’t been a power user in Office for a while, but yes perhaps I have missed a lot of the innovations you have mentioned above. Cross collaboration is something our company should definitely take more advantage of, although it’s hard to train users due to inertia (so I’m left compiling all the changes as always). I agree with you that their web apps are really good now.

That said, I still find google docs much easier to use for simplicity (and I at least up to Office 2013, I knew and used every feature in Excel PowerPoint Word) - but a lot of that is UX, Windows 10 and O365 I find too “clunky” and a tad slow on some button clicks

> Odds are good that if health insurance benefits are pushed out of employers, you're going to see it funded by a tax on top of wages, not a corporate income tax...

Sure, but there are ways to fix that. I'm not really a big fan of corporate taxes just because they seem to always either find a way around it, or they just raise prices. It's hard to escape.

> I don't think there's any philosophical merit to claiming someone working 7+ hours a day is not a full time worker. We may not know the exact economics, but we do know they're not great. Uber loses billions per year, and pays substantial money to deal with high driver turnover. A mixed system makes it worse.

I think the issue here is the definition of full-time work is not enough. It has to include other things, like having to physically go to a place of employment, work hours that you're told to work, etc. Should AirBnB have to employee hosts? Why is it different? You can't make the hours argument, because there are plenty of Uber drivers that don't drive "full time" and plenty of AirBnB hosts that run AirBnB full time. It also messes with any other sort of gig work, hence why the state had to go back and carve out all these exceptions - which is in my opinion usually an indicator of a bad or poorly thought out law.

Here's the actual issue. These gig workers, or contractors, or whatever you want to call them need benefits (healthcare etc.) that the government isn't paying for. The government needs to pay for that by raising taxes and/or lowering costs, etc. The way to do that isn't to make Uber and Lyft leave California and leave those workers without any sort of income. Even if it was right to do so morally (and I doubt that it is), it's wrong to do so practically. To me as I've stated previously, this looks like a government failure, not a failure of Uber and Lyft.

I'm sure many of us already apply this in our daily lives (I know I do). I think it's part of the reason the Pomodoro technique works well for me.

I tried to do exactly this a couple months ago as a "lockdown project".

Microsoft has always had a huge developer tools footprint, so it's a natural fit.
I've changed the way I launch applications since W10. Now I just hit the Windows key and type the name of the app or setting I'm looking for. The search is very quick and usually throws what I'm looking for. Here are two examples of how I use this that I think are great:

I created a quick ppt or xls file yesterday, not sure how I named it. I hit the Windows key, type Excel (usually you don't need to type the whole word, specially if it's a frequent search) and it immediately shows the Excel shortcut and a list of the last few files I've opened.

The other case is I wanted to modify the action when closing the laptop lid. I know that setting is somewhere in the power configuration, but can't remember exactly where. So I just hit the Windows key, type lid and voila! there's the setting

This is a legacy company trying to implement the Tesla marketing strategy, and, as often happens, it feels a bit contrived.

It would actually be interesting to have this tried in court.
Note that Obama's birth was a conspiracy around 2008, before 8chan existed. I would argue that "the Donald" on reddit was a driver of Trump's online popularity. This argument is not for striking down individual websites as much as it is for pervasive rumor-quashing.

One could look toward China's internet policy to measure the success of playing "whack-a-mole" at the rumor-level. Propaganda there still gets made and spread, it just stays online for minutes at a time before deletion, and so by the time people see it they have no way of asking for clarification on its truth.
Interesting to see the work being done to try to move structural biology towards a place where we can observe biological processes more easily. Crystal structures (Especially with ligands) were really useful to determine structure and function, but you sometimes get artifacts and it is hard to see exactly how things transition (Assuming you even get it to crystallized in the first place).

Techniques like cryo-EM and smFRET are definitely helping bridge this toolset gap to do better functional analysis of proteins and complexes. Definitely worth the Nobel Prize it won a few years back.
Allow me to reframe this. Considering they are both now considered groups posing a terrorism threat according to the FBI we would hold a platform like YouTube to the same standard on QAnon that we do on ISIS.

You can’t host propaganda from either group because they both have an extremely high likelihood of leading to real world violence based on historical evidence.

That isn’t an unreasonable standard.
It's all those little things where Apple really shines. Preview on the Mac is a fantastic piece of software.

This seems like it would only be a deterrent if these institutions are targets explicitly. If the attacks are random, this will not help at all.

AIUI, the key part of QAnon is "the storm", the idea that some secretive group in the Trump administration is preparing some kind of mass indictments, possibly involving military tribunals, to bust all of the secret pedophiles. This is "the plan" that QAnon people implore us to "trust". No matter how bizarre and disconnected the happenings in various Government agencies seem, it's all supposedly part of "the plan" that we're supposed to just trust.

Pedophile rings in the highest levels of Government and high society seem disturbingly plausible. I have no idea who's connected to it or how it all works, but I bet we'd all be pretty disturbed if it ever really came to light. But I'm not about to buy that there's a secret plan that's going to make it all work out, and everything is actually happening according to that plan.
I spend weeks looking for tools that I could even us, much less like, and eventually gave up and wrote everything by hand. I would be very interested in hearing about any OpenAPI tools that you would recommend.

I have bad news for you: Most high energy physicists I know go on to finance or "data science" before they would work on climate science. It is just not that interesting and doesn't pay well. HEP carriers prestige and is actually something aspiring physicists want to do.
Respectfully, you are incorrect. Delegating session and cookie management to the framework or (in php's case) the language is so much simpler that I have seen manual implementations of this behavior only 2-3 times in my career. And the idea that logging in incorrectly would somehow return a malformed, but correct, session-setting header is again, pathological.
Most of the time, these types of profound errors come from simply taking the path of least resistance provided in the framework. Sometimes they do come from a complex homebrewed solution to a simple problem.

Back at my startup days, I once worked with a poor guy who was dynamically generating individual IDs for each element on a page and their corresponding CSS for each page. He was unaware that CSS also had _classes_, which perfectly encapsulated the behavior he was trying to create. His work was complex, and full of errors, but it had a certain logic to it- it was the path of least resistance that he saw available to him.

These don't look like that. They just look like weird errors designed to avoid showing up on, or triggering false positives on, DAST tools. I thinking testing people's skills without those tools is a good goal, i just think the methodology here is wrong.
Scalia's opinion is a lesson in judicial activism and a rather poorly constructed one that serves as an object lesson in how to cherry-pick facts that can be constructed to lead to your previously determined decision. It had nothing to do with the document as it was written, as we have a significant body of historical research into what clauses of the 2nd amendment mean when written as well as a long body of precedent about that amendment which was all ignored so that Scalia could legislate from the bench.

They did the Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Music under Cook. Lots of innovations in the phone and tablet (pencil, photo processing, 120hz screen, neural engine and more) And now they make as good processors as Intel does and will be deploying them in macs which they seem to be doing thoughtfully. Even in AI, while they are not as strong as others, they have led with their push for privacy and on-device models.

Tim Cook has done a fantastic job.

I've found that HN isn't really great in discussing feminism. While the median reader is, I think, nebulously feminist, there is an extremely vocal anti-feminist contingent, and not a huge number of people talking seriously about feminism. I speak about feminism only by carefully avoiding any of the words they find triggering, and still usually not received well.

Philosophy doesn't get a great shake, either. HN discussion of philosophy seems to concern itself mostly with caricatures of postmodernism and logical positivism.

I both agree and disagree with this.

You're right that in a lot of places in western society (though not all) you can become pretty successful through good strategy and some hard work as you've described. But that's actually quite hard to do!

Plenty of things in life can get in the way and more importantly having a good life strategy requires a level of knowledge not available to many. The reason so many entrepreneurs come from moderately well off backgrounds is that the middle class is far far better at teaching their kids the strategies to success than those less well off. The upper class are even better and can use their money and access to take shortcuts not available to the rest of us.

If you're a working class kids whose family have never been to college or who hasn't been exposed to the 'professional class' you might have no idea how to get there and thus have no idea that you could get there. There are plenty of super smart kids from lower socio-economic backgrounds who would never even consider going to uni for a 'reasonable degree' because no ones implied it was possible for them.

Surprisingly the phone was loved. What wasnt loved was the one desktop everywhere so when they tried to push 'Metro' to the PC, tablet and phone it struggled. But the tiled phone interface was good, and a lot of people liked it.

I really think Ballmer and Cook are manifestations of the same person. Mac OS quality is the worst it's been in probably a decade+? Hardware design for the laptops have been under massive scrutiny. Cook brought the Watch to the table which is a massive success. Their services business plan is just a money grab like their approach to accessories. But Apple isn't innovating much, they have been cashing in in recent years (besides the watch imo, maybe airpods but Id personally disagree)

> BTC has no benefit over central counterparty clearing and settlement.

I can think of a few huge practical benefits:

1. Try to transfer money cross border within the EU/SEPA zone on a Friday. It'll be in the receiving account on Tuesday (and usually not in the morning). That's around 96 hours between sending and receiving. During weekdays this goes to 24 hours. Not even talking about intercontinental transfers. And this is assuming there are no national holidays in either the sending or receiving country during that period. And then there are people that complain that Bitcoin's < 15 minutes is slow, lol.

2. Transfers through central counterparty clearing and settlement sometimes get rejected/delayed for absolutely no reason at all. They can also be rejected/delayed for political or other (good) reasons. BTC doesn't suffer from this.

3. Transfers through central counterparty clearing and settlement can get stolen by attacking the IT systems themselves. Example:https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/another-swift-hack-stole-12.... BTC doesn't suffer from this. Yes, BTC can get stolen through phishing or by attacking end-points, but so can those transfers.

4. Going through central counterparty clearing and settlement requires both the sending and the receiving party to have some type of bank account in the locations that they want to send or receive money to/from. This means dealing with very time consuming local bureaucracy. Especially when the receiving party (for example) wants to receive money in a "new" country that they're not "set up" in yet. Setting this up can take days/weeks of turn around time and hours/days of man-hours. BTC doesn't suffer from this at all.

5. Transfer costs and high exchange rate spreads.

There are probably more issues that I didn't think of.

As a traveler only dealing with relatively tiny amounts of money across borders, BTC has already saved me a ton of time, money and frustration in trying to access my own money across borders. Even I as a nobody can see the benefit, I imagine those benefits only get greater for people dealing with larger amounts (as I assume the bureaucracy and problems go up with the amount of money transferred).
Some of the most interesting issues seem pathological at first blush. Can you really think of no scenario where there would be an sql injection string as a password? Perhaps some try-hard came along before you and attempted sql injection on the user creation form that resulted not in sql injection, but in the password being set to the literal string that the person used as input.

I realize that in this scenario it is literally designed-in, but I understand the point the author is trying to prove. If a "scanner jokey" gets results that tells him or her there is SQL injection, a competent tester will try to verify what their tool is telling them. If the tester is doing that in this case, they'll find other injection strings not working and (hopefully) start looking under the hood to see what is going on and discover this pathological hard-coded pw and be able to tell the client that. Maybe it's the work of a malicious dev?

I agree that a pentester with a lot of experience will have skills that are honed to find common bug patterns, but it's nice to be able to find these seemingly bizarre issues and have an explanation for the client. It shows you really understood the app and what it's doing.
