The existing reply captured it well. To add to that, this is not “an unexpected expense”sinking your finances. Imagine instead that you suddenly can’t do the job you do nor can you get equivalent pay. How long could a you float on say minimum wage? Maybe it gets worse and you have trouble getting any regular job. How long could you go with no pay? Many people would say, “can’t happen to me.” And that is what the article is about. That is the invisible knife edge. Get a divorce, get sick, and have student debts, and you could be just like the author and living in a tent and taking years to claw your way out of the situation. When that is a reality that you expect could happen, you think differently. And for most people, it could happen.
Nah, at that point the device makers don’t care... they already sold the device. Now you will have to buy a new one!
>I would love to have vehicles that took care of long distance/interstate driving situations.

I'm the same way. Sure, I'll take full self-driving if it's on offer. But TBH, if you can handle the 2-4 hour parts of a typical weekend drive to the mountains, that's a big win for me. Ditto for handling most of the 70 minute or so drive to the nearest major city.

It's not as exciting and doesn't open up the shared vehicle use cases and so forth. But full autonomy under most conditions on limited access highways still seems like a great feature a lot of people would love to pay for. But the driving around my neighborhood and environs actually isn't something I generally find to be a particular burden,
Not really. You want to leave. The company let you leave immediately. That's not bad faith.

What would be bad is letting a disgruntled employee hanging around company accessing company's material.
These will both come in pretty handy, although the first is just a formalization of something that's already available in packages, the lambda syntax will clean up code a fair bit, and make realtime analysis easier to type.

I'm probably reaching a bit here, but given the general rise in awareness of smoking being harmful, people will (or should) actively moderate their behaviour around children.

Even before smoking bans, I knew about cancer risks, second-hand effects - plus the dangers of imitation. I, and others I know who are smokers, would never smoke in children's company or within their radar-assisted perceptions. We know we're dumb to smoke. We avoid encouraging it.
The hypocrisy is that the company chooses to fight the 'free speech' fight by evading the censorship of governments when it benefits them and censors those it disagrees with otherwise.
There are differing opinions on this from what I've heard. If the let's play video competes with the experience of playing the game then it seems like it would be as you say, but for many cases that would probably not be true. This is still not decided in court though and just because someone can DMCA someone else does not mean they are in the right legally. It would also be different in different countries, the free use doctrine and DMCA are a American concepts.
You are off by an order of magnitude.

This doesn't surprise me, the governor of Hawaii is very big on business and growth, and has been working very hard to turn Honolulu into a small silicon valley.

There is a big difference between what is allowed from within a package and what is possible in native implementation. As an example - currently this pipe operator seems to be implemented at the parser level. The parser simply takes the pipe expression and translates it into standard nested function call f(g(x)). Which means - there will be almost no cost in speed (%>% was notoriously slow). In addition the user will get the usual error stack in case something within this pipe fails.
I bought a Sony bluray player for the bedroom; it had Netflix etc on it, and seemed like it would be a good compromise between it and adding a disc player and AppleTV. About six months ago, the Netflix app stopped working. No updates available, just useless.
Unrelated to the content of the article -- it appears that the font used in the article has (some) letters "dipping down" below others; for example, the "t" and "i" in "noticing" don't have their bottoms at quite the same level. I don't know if this is just an illusion caused by font thickness or if this is stylistic choice, but I've seen a few of these styles floating around (usually in these "serious" longform articles).

Since this doesn't technically have anything to do with the spacing between letters, is it accurate to call this a feature of kerning? If not, what is the term here? Is it mean to be evocative of typewritten text? While I don't necessarily dislike it, it did prove to be mildly distracting, hence the questions.
Judging by ballooning attendance at rapidly multiplying C++ conferences, the number of C++ programmers is growing faster than ever. More C++ programmers are newly hired, in any given week, than the total at work using Rust. That will be true for some time to come.

Here on HN you can always get upvotes by promoting Rust (and it really is the only interesting new systems language in 30 years) or complaining about C++, but C++ is going nowhere but upwards. C++20 is better than '17, and C++23 will be better than '20.

A language has achieved something when there are more articles complaining about it than about having succeeded in coding something using it.
>I'm not adverse to buying commercial displays for home use, but it's hard to find places that carry them and list prices.

I'd be fine with hardcoded DNS if the devices would fail back to DHCP provided DNS. Then I can just block certain destination IP address. But a NAT redirect is working fine for now.
The worst part is that there isn't just a couple super popular models of TVs that people could develop custom firmwares for, there are thousands of skus for televisions and each of them may behave in a different manner meaning that at their end of life it is unlikely that any group is going to go through the effort to free them from death.
> there is no organizer

So...not a Ponzi Scheme, by the definition you linked to

> Ponzi used funds from new investors to pay fake “returns” to earlier investors

> they use money from new investors to pay earlier investors and may steal some of the money for themselves

There is no "Ponzi," no "they," no one "paying" anyone directly, no "stealing." It's about as far from a Ponzi Scheme as you can imagine. It's The Wizard of Lies without de Niro.

If I go online and post "Apple stock is great!" and it makes someone buy AAPL, and I profit off that as a shareholder, is that a Ponzi scheme? No?

Well BTC is that but without even the business to hold stock in. How could you possibly argue that was a Ponzi Scheme unless, say, you didn't know what that was before you googled it...

OK let me get this straight:

Scenario one: Warren Buffet's secretary (making up some numbers here) makes $50K a year, twice the average salary for a secretary, and pays around 8K income tax, for an effective tax rate of 16%, And Warren Buffet pays $7000 in taxes.

Scenario two: Warren Buffet's secretary (making up some numbers here) makes $50K a year, twice the average salary for a secretary, and pays around 8K income tax, for an effective tax rate of 16%, And Warren Buffet pays $1,850,000 in taxes.

Those two are equally outrageous to you?
> The Google founders are billionaires and their company has nothing to do with paying for cheap labor and up selling it.

Google executives (possibly not the founders personally) colluded with management at competing employers to reduce employee mobility and negotiating power.

The cost of getting caught wasn't much compared to the salary increases they saved. So, yes, the labor wasn't 'cheap' but it also wasn't the fair market value.
Yes, I agree that is also user-hostile, since it should be configurable. The problem is not about network policies though, since DHCP is explicitly not designed to be a policy and is purposely meant to be optional for the client.

For this reason I wouldn't recommend buying a device like the Chromecast, in which the user can't configure the network settings. Instead maybe consider something like the Amazon Fire Stick which is not as user-hostile.
Which natural systems favor decentralization?
Hmm, thinking about that I don't really have many. I thought esoteric programming languages are a good source of them, but truly exotic ones turn out to be surpringly rare.

Cellular automaton is vastly popular as a concrete mechanism for rule-based programming (PuzzleScript being a good example), reversible computing is no longer interesting because of quantum computers and perhaps homomorphic encryption, probablistic programming is a large enough niche that it was never exotic, circuitry-based declarative programming is not even a niche (cf. HDLs), self-modification as a single control mechanism has been tried multiple times throughout the history (often combined with string rewriting paradigm, which itself has been even more popular than self-modification), ... The list goes on and on.

Probably the most exotic concept that I have ever seen is a multi-dimensional control flow (most famously Befunge [1], with some other lesser-known precedents), but there has been several programming games making use of that. Gravity-based programming [2] and the Infinity Machine [3] might be interesting if you allow hypothetical ideas.

I think the ego absolutely has an evolutionary benefit, but I don't think it follows that more ego then confers more evolutionary benefit. If so, less ego does not confer less evolutionary benefit. We can identify correlation in the past, but this does not imply the same degree of correlation or causation in the future.

I don't think it is true that everyone is unaware of their own ego. Being aware of your own ego is almost by definition "self-awareness". If your point is that all self-awareness is, by definition, illusory, then that is fine but I don't think that is a definition most people would agree with. I do think people who successfully study mindfulness (among other forms of meditation) are able to identify and relegate their egos in large measure.

I don't think "wrong" or "incorrect" are the right terms here. The brain optimizes to minimize prediction error. It can perform this process of "active inference" by either rejecting information (confirmation bias), updating its model (Bayesian updating) or manipulating its environment (changing the data which arrives). I agree many people choose the first. But I don't think it's the only way. You can also update your model by training yourself to be open-minded, or you can update the world by changing your environment around you (this is much harder, and often futile).

So while I agree with many of your points, I don't think I take as much of a cynical approach. I am optimistic we can work with the ego when it benefits us (from a happiness perspective, not an evolutionary one [0]), and sequester it when it does not.

[0] For all intents and purposes, we as humans are beyond natural selection. Sexual selection still matters, but as a society we don't really permit "survival of the fittest." Most people survive - independent of their genetic endowments - and still many reproduce. As a result I am not sure natural selection is the right objective function (perhaps it is weighted more toward artificial or sexual selection instead).
That's my problem with them. The smart TVs I've used are slower to startup than the dumb ones, even when not using the "smart" features. Just changing the inputs is often painfully slow.

Are you sure she agreed to fix it? According to her tweets she agreed to take her name off the paper, not to fix it, and only if they agreed to her conditions which included releasing the names of all the reviewers involved. From Jeff Dean's email:

> ... including revealing the identities of every person who Megan and I had spoken to and consulted as part of the review of the paper and the exact feedback

If I was in their position, I would be extremely uncomfortable releasing the names of the reviewers with the likely result that they would be doxxed by Gebru on Twitter

For scenarios where third party clients clients require delegated access to users, you can combine these two approaches, giving you the best of both worlds.

For example we have configured our implementation of OpenID Connect to use PKCE for retrieving an authorization code, and then when calling the token endpoint, requires that the the client authenticate using a client_assertion JWT

I disagree. I've been a UI / UX designer for various pieces of software and the thing I miss in all the collected screenshots online _is_ text. It makes things more easily searchable and comparable. For example, is a health bar vertically or horizontally positioned? Top right or top left? What's the used color?

All these things could show me the obvious choice when designing a health bar in a specific type of game or interface.

No website with screenshot (or otherwise UI based visuals) in collections has this searchable content.

So for me, as a UI designer, I would definitely benefit from more textual information.
> Track record: 8888 has been running for more than ten years.

I understand the point you're trying to make here - but long-lived products are still shut down by Google, fairly often. Here's a list of some Google products that have been / were around for 10 years or more before being killed (or are slated to be killed soon):

- Chrome Apps

- Cloud Print

- Fusion Tables

- Youtube Video Annotations

- Google Search Appliance (17 years old!!)

- Google Showtimes

- Google Code

- Picasa

- Orkut

- Postini

That's not even close to the full list of things that were more than 10 years old when Google shut them down. I left a bunch off for brevity's sake - but browsing https://killedbygoogle.com is a really eye-opening experience. They really have shut down a lot of stuff - and if you loosen the requirement to ">= 7 years" the list gets very, very long.

Again - I understand what you're trying to say. But it's just not simply a "zero effort joke". Google has killed a lot of things, and a lot of the things they killed were well used, long lived, and popular.

They'll keep Google DNS running as long as it provides business value to them, and that's it.

(Edit: I'm bad at list formatting, sorry)

The marketing for those brands is all about getting you to passively think of them as wholesome enjoyment.

Yeah it's not worth the effort - smart TVs don't run on standardised hardware and every manufacturer has their own software so you'd have to do an absolute mountain of reverse engineering for a ton of different TVs. Plus they almost certainly require signed firmware so you also have to find an exploit to allow loading your custom firmware.

Far easier just to not connect the TV to the internet and use a third party solution like nVidia Shield instead. Fortunately pretty much no TVs will try to connect via open WiFi or 4G at the moment, though it is definitely coming.
That's another beauty of modern discrimination: it's unfalsifiable.

> Nobody at Google has said that she was fired for being toxic.

No company will ever say this publicly.

Yes, that's my inference.

Looking at this Twitter thread between her and Jeff Dean 6 months ago: https://twitter.com/JeffDean/status/1278571537776271360 ...

She is highly toxic, not just in general, but specifically toward Jeff Dean, who is her manager's manager. Actually, doing that against anyone is not okay.

Reading between the line, she is absolutely fired for her toxicity. This event is just a last straw.

This comes back to the core decision: do you care about controlling the network enough to block access? If the device can't be managed / is no longer supported the safest choice is not to allow it online at all. Different people will have different risk tolerances – it might make sense to put, say, a remote-control power switch on an IoT no-man's land network but if it has access to personal information or cameras/microphones it's not unreasonable to say it should just be blocked unless you're actively using those features.
