Yes, and do you know the difference between science and conjecture? Practice and theory?

Done any research into people who are medically hyper-sensitive, sometimes at the milliwatt level, to RF energy?

Is it possible that the cumulative effects of compounded milliwatts could potentially have harmful effects, that have yet to be sufficiently studied or understood?

Maybe.

I'm not at all suggesting there is a massive conspiracy to do whatever to everyone by deploying 5G or Wifi or whatever else. But I am saying that "move fast and break things" is an irresponsible modus operandi when the things might be us.

The race for faster and make more money does NOT have a good history of safety for us, nor the planet. Proceed with caution, and value those who doubt. What have you got to lose? Your Netflix buffering 2 seconds faster?

And you think I'm crazy?
This is a great way to phrase it. Friction really is essential for so many things where we're gradually loosing it.
me and my partner own several "niche sites". over 100k income in 2020. monetized with Mediavine and Amazon affiliate, but we're moving in the direction of pure ads slowly - Amazon is getting worse every year. these are pretty much passive(in my case), my assistant handles all the content outsourcing, and I just check the analytics and make decisions once in a while.

I also sell premade specialized turnkey niche sites to people in the industry on places like /r/entrepreneur, /r/juststart, and my own site and this made me around 140k this year.

i also do some consulting and work with automation, but that's not really passive at all. i specialize in python and selenium.

I quit my 9-5 several years ago and retired to a very low cost of living area.

Past ten years or so ive gotten most of my jobs via recruiters reaching out to me on LinkedIn.

I always enjoy seeing how much the market will bear when answering them with I'm making $400k(just a number) now what is this web developer position offering? Meaning I bump my salary to see what the market will bear .. if i didnt go too high they will go higher and I boosted my salary by double or more. This trick is best though when your a junior to mid level developer ... salaries do cap out Ive noticed. But, it's always fun to see what you might be able to get.

I use to see a lot of HN readers complain about recruiters. Some are overzealous and shady like I told one recruiter i just met this girl two weeks ago at web dev Meetup who just started at same company. He hunted her down and kept leaving voicemails on her work phone & then calling the receptionist when she didnt answer him(omg lol). Another forced me to lie to owner of company they placed me at, which I very begrudgingly did(hide recruiters shady business practice). Though I sold her and her company out once she threaten to make up false stories so he wouldnt hire me full-time(he did hire me). Though out of ten years and dealing with 100 to possibly 100s of recruiters those two are outliers in my experience.
I agree that people know about data collection and don't care to some extent, but I'd argue that they don't understand the consequences and the extent of this.

If they'd be presented a bill of what they're being overcharged through better targeting, ads, etc., the same way activity trackers show how many steps a user takes, things might change.

What I'd disagree is that people choose to purchase the device anyway, a non-tech-savy user will hardly get presented a non-smart device, wouldn't even know to search for this.

I think regulation should at least let you turn off features, e.g. it should be possible to use Airplay and turn off the app store the tv uses.

The article has convinced me to do exactly that and finally get a pfsense router to make the pihole more effective. I'll (try to) only allow each device to run the services I really want it to run. I doubt my partner, siblings, parents, etc. would be able to do that though, this needs a simple pfsense/pihole combo that runs well out of the box or regulation to protect consumers.
Yeah but a simple bribe from VW could have concealed the cheating. You can make more money from being a "black hat" researcher than doing the right thing which in this case actually led to losing money.
Anecdotal.
I am male but my name in various countries around Europe (and probably world) is female, and people by default think I'm gal when they communicate with me over messenger, emails, etc.
On one occasion I was asked to be talker on some event that is empowering woman in IT. The woman who asked me to do it didn't even look at my profile where my profile pic clearly show that I am a male (beard, moustache and stuff..).
They've only seen the role I am on, experience and probably had some female name database where they filtered me out.

On more serious note, I got contacted by every FAANG(M) company in last 6 years and got hired two of them through it. Nice tool, but not for every sector.

Edit: words
> What would you say to that? Probably something like, they're abusive and deceitful, whatever they have to offer, they'll probably damage your life more than they'd help you.

I don't really understand how you make the jump to this part
Massive tech will not prevent billions from dying.

The point where tech is able to sustain itself without human input is in sight now. I still can't see why an automated economy would waste resources on useless meat bags.

Evidence so far would suggest that it's closed source.

The archive downloaded by the installer script does contain some source code, but it's mostly "generic" TensorFlow code, with some Python stubs that call off to native libraries (as you'd expect). It seems like all of the ML Compute stuff is contained within pre-compiled libraries (with some header files provided), but no source code.

I could be wrong here, and it might be that the intention is to open source the ML Compute components, but I don't think that's been done yet.
> "huh what made a fellow human go so far to steal from an AirBnB rental in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving?

You seem to imply desperation, lack of perspective etc., but given that what they stole is worth several months' of wages for many people, maybe it was just greed, and the person doesn't need help, they need proper incentives. And by incentives, I mean getting caught and thrown in jail.

Blackboard is terrible software. I have a feeling it's the most classic example of "design by committee" where all decisions lie with admin staff who never ever have to use the software. They just approve whatever has the biggest list of features. They earn so much money from tuition fees and care so little for usability of basic tools its astounding.

I'm not in education software myself but it seems to me a solution of sorts would be to push for standardization:

- open data exchange formats

- open communication protocols

- open social identity platforms

This doesn't fix the problem but at least it gives power to the people to do so. However, it won't happen on its own because it's not in the best interest of anyone currently in position to do anything about it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't think that is the case? This article seems to be saying you can factory reset a Mac, but you have to have an internet connection so Apple can activate it.

In theory Apple could let people tell them when devices have been stolen and then remotely brick them. But I've never heard of that and I doubt they would ever do that for the same reasons mobile phone operators don't do it, even though the capability is available.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Some of the styling choices I have made in this CSS come from my own preferences and idiosyncrasies. After all, like I have mentioned in the README, I use this CSS while quickly developing new personal, hobby websites or web-pages which happen to be mostly text-based.

Having said that, your feedback is well-taken and I will indeed consider them during my next update to the CSS. In particular, I went ahead and added the style for :focus right away.

Thank you for noticing the incorrect case in <h2 id="Blockquote">. It was a typo caused by careless yank-and-copy. I have fixed it now.
The only time I’ve felt effects of caffeine is horrible jet lag combined with 900mL of cold brew (about 1400mcg of caffeine). I was lifted from the dead and felt the highest relative improvement in mood and wellbeing in my life.

I once tried to improve my math exam scores by drinking 4 espressos but didn’t feel a thing. I can easily fall asleep after 2 cups of coffee.

Yeah, it's tough to say what would have happened with a different approach. I'm obviously biased, but I still feel like the communication style made a big difference. Given how hostile Herscu was in the first email, I don't think I would have reached successful resolution had I just angrily demanded payment.

>I mean, the "professional way" has nothing to do with managing to escalate to the CEO (how exactly did you manage to get his e-mail?).

No, that's a critical part of it. The thing I learned from patio11's article was how valuable it is to navigate their bureaucracy and get to someone who has incentive to help you.

Everyone else at the company who was emailing me had the email "[firstname]@kissmyketo.com". I looked up the CEO's name and confirmed the email by Googling "alex@kissmyketo.com", which turns up several of the company's old blog posts that invite readers to email him directly.
I think you are misunderstanding.

In common Lisp you can call a regular function defined with defun as (foo "something"), but if bar is a variable containing a fuction you have to use (funcall bar " something"). I agree that this is weird and confusing.

Huh. I like a cup of coffee in the morning but I’ve never experienced the “I need a cup of coffee or it’s gonna be a long day” feeling people talk about. (Well now that I think of it I may have thought that a few times (in ~20years) but it was usually after a short night of sleep or something like that.)

Hardly a rumour, Steve Jobs said it at the announcement of the switch to Intel. "Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life", and then showed on a map at which Apple office they'd been working on it.

I started amphetamine at age 20 and I'm, coincidentally enough, also 32.

I happened to have a good friend on Adderall in university, and he let me try a pill one day.

In one day I went from thinking that I was just a lazy, low-achieving individual that would always zombie through life, that—like my dad said—just didn't have a fire lit under my ass, and I went to realizing I was just a low dose pill away from achieving all I wanted. (I would eventually tell my dad that I did feel like I had a fire lit under my ass before I found amphetamine, I just had felt like it was engulfing me and I couldn't muster to move.)

I live abroad in South America right now and I fly back every three months to refill my script, that's how much it has improved my life. Though I just took a year-long break from the drug.

Btw, I switched from Adderall XR to Vyvanse about half way through my amphetamine career. Definitely was an upgrade: a more gradual curve and ~no come-down.

Anyways, the talk of amphetamine and ADHD (whatever that loosely understood umbrella word includes) is a lot like the talk of opioid painkillers: yes, there's abuse, but the conversation can't just stop there.

I've just wondered how the initiatives for a decentralized web were going and was about to submit an "Ask HN" about the state of dat/hypercore/beaker and alternatives such as ipfs, then realized Beaker has just released its first production release after years of work. Congrats! A replacement for http is more needed than ever, with the web now completely dominated by big media and spyware, and http and DNS up for grabs by monopolies to manipulate at will. I so hope beaker can spawn a new grassroots movement for self-publishing, the thing the web has ceased to be.

In my experience charge backs are not so common in mainland Europe. A US CC issuer (and I am a customer since 18 years with the same card) can be much more aggressive about this. I think Wizz air has never dealt with an US CC :-)

Nevertheless I don't abuse this. I only request a charge back if I assume I also would win a lawsuit. But nobody has ever challenged one of my charge backs in court.
Stop ascribing sentience to a hetrogenous grouping of individuals. I'm sure if we went back to the threads you're referring to, we'd see a similar multiplicity of views to those displayed here. You make yourself sound like you have a victim complex.
I don't think the parent is disagreeing with that, but the article mentions graduating from Python to something else, which is where the recommendation fits. Parent isn't saying the article's original version should be in Rust.
They were not very different under the hood. In fact, many units within the OS were similarly/equally named. The UI was a different beast all together and I remember the UI crashing in WinNT 3.51 while the kernel and services were happily chugging along.
Try that with .net. They fucked it up at least four times in that 20 year period and there’s lots of garbage information around now.

Realistically the best approach for stability is to pick mature technology and that means stable, well designed and slow moving. Things like enterprise Linux distributions, Postgres, Go etc.

How to achieve your another version?
The two versions? Have you ever thought about your personality? Well, most of you have multiple personalities. Your personality is the result of the way you have programed yourself. You have been a victim of Subliminal Programing done by society, media or your family. This is what makes you think you are not capable of doing things. You think you are never fated to build life as you want. Even though you have different personality aspects, mainly all of you have two different versions with you. The real version of you in life and another version of you that is realized only in your dreams. This is the dream version of yourself. It's the personality you want to achieve; the one you dream of and always want to be. It's the another version of you; the one who is rich, successful, beautiful etc.

How you can be the person, you want to be: It's so simple and you can do that with a little bit of focus. You get what you are. The thing is that you can reprogram yourself as you are made for it. Your brain exactly works like your Smart phone. You can uninstall all the Apps you don't want to have and reboot anytime you want. It's a paradigm shift you need to make. Your beliefs are the labels, your mind makes. Start your day with a 5-minute meditation, where you have an inner visualization about the future version of yourself and instill yourself with more confidence and positive affirmations. Regularize this practice and this is how you can have the muscle memory about the necessary actions you have to take in this regard.

Do you ever talk to your peers about this? I get grossed out by this kind of behavior generally because it seems so artificial and narcissistic. Hearing your perspective is interesting because it at least adds the nuance of gamesmanship to the list.

Have you ever tried declaring yourself a thought leader? What kind of mileage does that get you?
I’m sure I am missing something, but I do not understand why a business - other than very small ones - would choose to use GSuite.

But almost all businesses are SMEs, and almost all of those are small businesses.

If you're operating at enterprise scale, and you've got dedicated contacts at Microsoft and negotiating leverage in your commercial terms for using their products and access to the top editions of those products, you're moving in a different world to most smaller businesses. That's true whether we're talking about Office, Windows or almost anything else Microsoft offers these days. For a small organisation, the pricing structure and artificially broken products and lock-in effects and so on are significant downsides to going with Microsoft.

On the other hand, if you are part of a large organisation, being able to create and collaborate on a single document or spreadsheet in isolation is still the foundation of everything, but being able to manage large numbers of those documents and spreadsheets and access to them by large numbers of people for large numbers of reasons is also an important requirement. I have yet to encounter an online competitor that really has powerful tools for things like formal revision management, organising the full set of information for large projects, and constructing large, complicated documents with many contributors who have different responsibilities. There's a whole ecosystem around MS Office that deals with these kinds of issues, but a smaller organisation would probably have little need of it.

>How many early deaths were caused by California's refusal to allow or perform proper forest manangement, resulting in this year's devastating wildfires and the pollution they caused? Sorry for the whataboutism. Deaths are deaths.

Fixing a misbehaving car manufacturer is easier than fixing decades of forest mismanagement. Once the VW thing is over they can concentrate on that (unfortunately they still don't). The forest fire problems are also unique to California. Car emissions are a problem everywhere.
You're articulating an investment thesis that has been fairly popular the last 20 years: That other tech companies are protected by impregnable moats, while Apple is perennially one botched product away from going out of business.

But it seems to me that the company is in reality demonstrating far greater resilience and versatility than the cliches would have it.

Consider "picked a market": In 2005, I was joking that my job (macOS Engineer) was "writing firmware for iPod docks", because back then Apple was perceived as a Music player manufacturer that built computers as a hobby. Then, for a good decade, everybody decided Apple was a phone manufacturer. The increasing share of iPhone revenue was seen as an alarming sign. The last couple of years, iPhone revenue share decreased slightly, and that was seen as an alarming sign as well... go figure.

Now (after having done a casual drive by on the fitness tracker and mid-range watch industry), Macs are getting talked about again. You see this as a desperate lunge for survival. I beg to differ.

As a more specific argument, competing against the open market was a disadvantage for Apple when they were low volume, in the PowerPC days. But at this point, I believe they have sufficient volume to maintain custom components. The rest of the industry still has greater volume, but they have to live on lower margins, and are lacking some of the synergies working for Apple, so it's not a given to me that Apple is truly at a disadvantage.

However, at the level of semiconductor manufacturing as opposed to design, the considerations are somewhat different (no clear long run advantages for anyone, no clear benefits to vertical integration, open market wins in the end), which is, I think, why Apple is still outsourcing that step.
Then they are distinguishable by observable behavior.
> Is it possible that the cumulative effects of compounded milliwatts could potentially have harmful effects, that have yet to be sufficiently studied or understood?

Yes. It's possible but isn't the general understanding that it's extremely unlikely?

Many, many things are possible but some criteria has to be applied to decide which ones we can spend time on investigating. Werewolf research is currently massively underfunded for good reason.
