But that's not how any of it works to begin with. Inequality isn't caused because people produce proportionally more or less. The very wealthy generally own property that has appreciated in value, or have inherited it. Among working people, the differences fundamentally come from labor markets, not our productivity. An engineer might make more or less than someone else on their team, but they both make multitudes more than the people assembling beams for an apartment building.

You should totally enjoy the freedom to be a productive member of society, that's not where inequality originates.
It doesn't make forming them any easier, it's just a forcing function to spend longer on the task. While it certainly is possible to have a topic that just cannot be handled in 6 pages, my experience is that after removing weasel words, filler, non-essential details, adverbs and the like, 6 pages is enough to base a conversation on most topics when the group has basic familiarity with the subject matter.
It's already there. Hudson Yards is the largest development currently in progress in NYC (maybe the US), and phase 2 will build another million-ish square feet next to it. That is the closest subway station to all of it.
Surge AI | Remote or New York City | Full-time

We believe the biggest blocker to most ML use cases is high quality training data so our first product is a platform for obsessively high-quality training data (see our blog for more details https://medium.com/swlh/we-need-new-infrastructure-for-the-n...). The end goal is to build a platform that makes it easy to get high-quality data at scale -- think of labeling 100K tweets for misinformation in order to build a fake news algorithm, or annotating 500K images to measure AI fairness -- and then instantly turning that data into AI.
We are looking for product engineers (entry level, team lead, or anywhere in between) to join the team and help us develop our platform. It is built on Ruby on Rails, React, and Python (for the machine learning components).

A few example projects you could take on:
* We work on many complex, subjective tasks like hateful speech. Is “stfu trump” toxic content that should be downranked and hidden, or is it a valuable voice that speaks truth to power? In order to maintain quality, we need to think about systems that train workers (like interactive quizzes or videos) and monitor the quality of their work.
* We often label hundreds of thousands of tasks each day. At this scale, efficiency becomes important. How do we automatically optimize layouts and give agents better tools to work efficiently? Can we integrate ML to help automate some of the work?
* We want to make building AI as easy as building a spreadsheet. How do we make this a fun, understandable experience? Can we give you automatic insight into your data and AI models?

I'm pretty much off Google now (using only search and maps now), and I think HN played a big role convincing me to do so. I don't think you can do it on one go (moving from the browser, password manager, email, etc...); it's a big investment because the Google suite makes your life much easier.

I find this list useful.

The argument for Hudson Yards (I don't actually agree) is that while Times Square is certainly a very busy station, most of the movement that happens there is transferring. And Times Square has nearby stations that other people also use for exiting and entering; Hudson Yards is a long hike from the next closest subway station, and 34th St is not a particularly great walk, with all the Lincoln tunnel traffic and whatnot.

Hudson Yards is also the only station next to the Javits Center, so it has the massive traffic from large convention events like the Auto Show and NYCC.

Ah, I think the key part from [1] is: "--no-sandbox --no-zygote", and possibly "--test-type". Cool, thanks.
Yep. You typically need to incubate your data for several quarters to demonstrate a real correlation. And you have to balance how you prove this against the fact that some firms will try to reproduce the data collection internally once they learn how you get it.
My strongest argument against google is my inability to function in modern society without feeding their money printer
I say "no way", but it deserves a clarification. There is no way to do it at scale.

There is forest succession, and there is secondary forest succession. If a hurricane, ice storm, 2 year drought, or the shock wave of a volcano wipes out all of the trees in an area, you get what is called a secondary succession. Much of the soil and all of the wood is still there, so a shorter path that goes from forest clearing to mature forest species can be taken instead. Logging destroys the process, and you go back to prairie, which is a longer route.

If you're restoring an acre? You can ship in enough wood chips to approximate the food chain around a dead tree, kickstarting a secondary succession. It's a trick Permaculturists are using to build soil far faster than your science book says, but they only do it by diverting a waste stream from thousands of neighbors. You'd never find enough material to replant the forest between you and the next town.

But you could build an island, and when that's done build another, and let them grow toward each other and toward the next town (who does the same) and you might have something better than a million hectares of doug fir in forty years, ready to burn down again.
To be fair, many of the alternatives are privacy focused and data collection is more likely to be anonymised.

>1. the big sur ui is not very attractive (i know it sounds arbitrary, but big sur just looks very non-desktop, very fischer price, and i have no alterantive since catalina wont be supported)

I find these "this look fischer price/non-desktop" like hearing goth teenagers wanting something darker and more edgy -- well, the "pro" mentality equivalent, where if it doesn't look boring and beize it's not good.

It's a mighty fine look, nothing fischer prize about it, and hardly that different from the previous iteration. If anything it much less fischer prize than the original Aqua interface and its 4-5 next iterations, which was praised as a great looking ("lickable") UI.

Offering arXiv as a substitute for Google Scholar isn't okay. The arXiv is one of the places indexed by Google Scholar. But Google Scholar also indexes most of the journals out there. A better replacement would be PubMed, but even that's pretty specialized.

I've worked at a shop that used both bare-metal servers from OVH as well as VMs from AWS. Using the EC2 instances were infinitely simpler, we could easily automate so much of it and manage using load balancing and scaling services. AWS instances were the default choice as the scaling up and down was a huge benefit as well as the simpler management and additional services available.

The only places we used OVH bare metal servers was for bulk. Our ElasticSearch cluster had so much RAM that the EC2 cost was very prohibitive. For our DB servers we couldn't at the time get the same performance raid SSDs/controllers and vertical scaling (256GB, 512GB). For our disposable webapp servers we could have used either and since the ops was already worked out having used OVH before AWS kept it that way with a bit more ops and a smaller infra bill. When you have hundreds of hardware hosts, they're failing monthly and it's up to you to image a new one and add it to the cluster.

To have only one way to do things, it also meant that Chef was used instead of immutable instance creation which was a pain to keep everything in sync.

My thought process is basically: (1) small number of instances -> cloud VMs, (2) medium instances w/ founder(s) time but no capital -> bare metal, (3) mature app or huge number -> bare metal
Community size is good approximation and that is what drives features and your ability to find solution to a problem quckly.

Just jumping on as another agreeing on this — it built up in me over time until eventually I decided to go all-in and removed Google entirely.

I used to be fully bought in to them. Used to have everything Google. 2 Google Homes, Android, Chrome, Gmail, Calendar, Photos, Chromecast, and everything else.

Now I occasionally use YouTube because that’s much harder to replace, but that’s all the data they get on me. Everything else is gone! Feels freeing honestly.
The WHO is suggesting that in the UK we have as many people with long covid as have died from it, so talking about 60k - far far higher than we for new ME cases each year.

Also the 'new' symptoms the long covid sufferers face are often very different to the initial illness - my wifes heart function was impacted hugely, only just starting to recover 7 months later.

What is good is that unlike ME, it appears many of the long covid sufferers are recovering, it just takes a long time, similar to SARs - where as for many ME is a life long condition. So I wouldn't draw to many parallels just yet until we know more.
No. For the past several years, Apple has been notoriously bad at manufacturing keyboards.

If anything I'd rather have a budget Mac Mini Mini in something like an Apple TV 4K case.
I can't count how many stories lately I have read where some algorithm determined that someone's google account was in violation of one of google's rules and it will not tell them what is wrong specifically, and there is essentially no hope of appeal either because that is automated as well.

And someone looses other things that seem unrelated. Do something weird or uncommon with google adsense, loose your google drive too.

Personally, I haven't experienced this kind of bs yet. But at this point, I don't want to take chances with using another google service that could suddenly shutoff with no explanation and no hope to resolve the issue and taking out who knows what else at the same time.
Decide on your threat model. VPN from large, established company like Google is great option if you are looking to secure your surfing on various hotspots.

For small VPN providers you need to do the homework. Who owns the business, what’s their business model, privacy policy, how they handle information security etc.
Well, it sounds like there aren’t a lot of support people for lower tier soccer... no camera operators, and no one even watching the camera feed.

Which FAQ?

This appears to be the only FAQ that mentions anonymized data:

> Will Brave sell user data to advertisers?

>

> We do not have access to identifiable user data. The anonymized aggregated ad campaign related data we do collect is used for accounting and reporting, but this data cannot be mapped back to devices or user identities of any kind. Learn more

If you follow the "Learn more" link it says:

> If you switch on Brave Rewards and switch on ads (in Rewards settings) you will see ad notifications, and will receive BAT to reward you for viewing these ads.

Everything below ground level is original, save for the relatively newer Central and Western corridors.

Penn Station's major issue was that when it was designed and built, intercity traffic was a big deal and commuter traffic was not, and it was designed accordingly. Today the central platforms Amtrak uses are massively oversized and the commuter-rail only platforms to the side take 3-5 full minutes to clear a train.

Or perhaps those on your twitter are incredibly biased towards Google? Twitter is repeatedly presented as a general sentiment test, yet this is just not true.

Also, what on Earth is "Tech Twitter"? My forays (now abandoned as fruitless) into twitter show it as dispersed as any other social media group - if not more so.

I can't imagine anyone being able to run a cross-sectional survey of 'tech' over twitter without massive buy in from either twitter or dozens of disparate groups who would have no interest in measuring tech giant positivity scores.

Also, people often have different and mutually exclusive ethical values from each other, there are plenty of defense contractors who believe they are the good guys, privacy activists who think they're doing good, anti abortion activists who believe they are saving lives, pro choice activists who think they're protecting rights, etc. How can we know which is the illusory position?

I can't expect to believe that all of my positions just happen to be right. Everyone on the planet believes they're right--the right values, the right religions... I'm not aware of an objective answer to morality.
I would like to point out:

Looking down the list of google services I use for PERSONAL use (and my wife/child) I would easily be paying $100/mo for all the alternative services.

I can afford that. Most google users cannot.

I've tried to switch fully to firefox but it's just not good enough, especially on Android. Pages fail to load, get laggy, etc, none of which happens on Chrome. I'd love to ditch Google but it's hard when the second best option is so far behind.
Yeah, in HN there is a lot of anti-google (even anti-apple) sentiment but at they same time I get the feeling most users don't change their behavior just because of that. Everyone loves their iphones and macs and google home, I get it... I used to mistake techies to be trend setters. I understand now that they are completely different types of people. techies are more like consumers, whereas trend setters are more like people pushing limits and changing their life(style) for the fun of it. I have commented before here but I would imagine self-hosting is really not a big deal. These days we have amazing options like cloudron, yunohost, sandstorm etc that help people install apps and manage their servers but I don't see many comments from people actually doing it.

It wasn't overnight for me, habits take time to change. Not to mention unravelling my entire life. I think I started de-Googling my life in 2018. Moved away from Google Domains, moved to a custom-domain email address at Fastmail, moving all my subscriptions/accounts/miscellaneous stuff to said new email, when I got a new phone I setup Authy instead of re-adding everything to Google Authenticator, the list goes on.

At this point I still maintain my GMail account for stragglers, which forwards to my new domain. I still use YouTube since most of my favourite creators are still exclusively on there, though I have moved to Vimeo or Patreon whenever possible. I use Chrome at work due to policy, but I use Firefox at home. I don't think it's possible for me to 100% decouple, but I am no longer dependent on them, nor are they getting the bulk of my information. I think I can live with that.
Probably the best way to get away from google is to use the
