None of it - that's the point. They are self-deprecatingly pointing out how naïve and judgemental their younger-self was.

Antarctica no longer Covid free: 36 research base members test positive
I tried a bunch of different options when my team went remote, including

* Google Drawings (yuck)

* LucidChart (yuck)

* Miro (good for diagrams, not for drawing)

* Jamboard (good for drawing, not for diagrams)

And a few inputs including:

* Wacom pencil (ok)

* Inklet pen (garbage)

* iPad Pro (great)

So far Jamboard / iPad pro is the closest to a true whiteboard experience that I've found, but it's pretty restrictive that it's tightly coupled to the physicality of the actual Jamboard, and you can't pan/scroll the whiteboard space like a lot of the pure digital options.

It would be nice to have a single tool that worked both for sketching/drawing (a la whiteboarding), but also could upgrade well to actual diagrams / boxes if you want to promote a collaborative sketch to something more permanent (say you're drafting a design doc and you want to use the sketch as your diagram-of-record).

On my list to test is the ReMarkable's shared drawing mode, haven't got round to trying that yet.
Yep, we agree!
Why should you say anything except "no"?

You own that equity even if you are not employed there.

I think it's a big stretch to assume that Japanese people can't even read books on the train because their literacy is so low.

That's also an uncharitable interpretation of the article, or anything I pointed.

The best way I could put it is, "the Japanese writing system is pretty cumbersome and in turn the people on average are less drawn to literal mediums and more drawn towards visual media".

And that's just the opinion of an english teacher in japan after all.
Which is where the lawyer can help.

If this is the case, (and we don't know the details,) it means that the other founder was acting in bad faith. Hopefully the threat of a lawsuit is enough to solve the situation.

Personally, I usually just delete the .exe (and .dll, etc) files. The most secure code of all, that never has bugs and can't be exploited, is code that doesn't exist.
Yes. Sort of.

Gladly? I am happy I get paid money to develop in Swift ona Apple... Happy to develop (in Python, reluctantly, nothing is perfect!) on my Raspberry PI.

We are a grumpy opinionated lot - developers. Very hard to make us glad

I totally agree with you, but would add that some of us find dealing with Apple extremely frustrating. The most valuable company in the world, and a money grubbing pack of unethical rotters...

Some cheaters make it impossible not to catch them. We had a guy using his phone during a math class. The professor came by and the kid had covered up his phone with a piece of paper. The phone is obviously not flat and the screen was up and still active, shining right through.
Did a clean Win10 install (my first time using a Windows > 7) from USB to nvme a few months back, not a single issue. Didn't even know it was theoretically an issue.

TFA seems to indicate it's only an issue for some, but I don't get a great feeling for whether this is considered a widespread issue or a very narrow edge case.
Theoretically this is exactly the justification political mobs on twitter use to go after bad behavior that to them feels morally wrong.

I think it’s one of the only ways to change society but it should be done with a light touch. With smoking I think people thought “it’s gross” not that you are a gross and morally repugnant person. So demonizing the act and not the person is important.

Granted if people are not using social media the mobs will be smaller, but even if everyone is in communities the size of HN, it’s still possible to form “mob sentiment”

I think the idea that they will not be able to work with the co-founder again really depends on the type of person that co-founder is. If the co-founder is just doing this as a strategic move, expecting things are going to become quite valuable soon and considering the 10% cliff it may be that if their strategy does not work they will not have any problem continuing the partnership - although if that is the case I would (when things became profitable/ much improved) negotiate for some kind of exit because obviously the co-founder is not trustworthy.
I mean the person running the company, for SMB that might be the owner, for bigco it's the C-suite, because those are the people that affect my ability to do my job effectively, which has a huge impact on my day-to-day emotional well-being. Investors are a whole different story, and it's wise to de-couple financial considerations from job satisfaction as much as possible. Being resentful that my work passively benefits investors would be a silly distraction—they will be there seeking returns via investment regardless of where I seek employment. What really matters to my financially is my own salary, equity and the upside of the company where I am devoting most of my time.
Happy to hear!

>I have no problem with staying in focus and I just don't get what a few people are saying about distortion, I must be blind.

If you point it to a piece of rectangular paper you'll see the distortion. In the commonlands review link above, Max pointed that out with a picture as well.
Thanks for the link. I'm new to JS, but it seems funny to me how the first block of one-liner functions reads like it's just making up for how awful the JS standard library is.
You know, I like your position here dude. Keeping out of discussion the money (everyone of us work to pay bills) I think sometimes to give up maintaining a high profile is better. Anyway, the personal situation of the founders is unknown to me and dont want to talk too fast. But i get your point here.

I do agree, but it's not a 0 stimulus, because basically the supply chain can be multi-purpose. I would never choose military spending as a stimulus, that's basically fascist, but as a slight silver lining to make ditching NATO more palatable I would definitely want to bring it up.
Did you disagree with the FP reporting?
Probably because they are relating an anecdote from their past, and self-deprecatingly pointing out how naïve and overly-judgemental they were _back then_.
I was aware of those effects of the black death, but I guess I don't see it as a "collapse". Maybe I'm wrong or my definition of "collapse" is different from the one accepted by historians.

The nobility still remained the nobility for centuries afterward. The church retained most of its power for another century, until the reformation. Standards of living declined for some time but not that long. A collapse (to me) would have been rather more drastic.
I agree. They can fight this and drain energy but they will only get what they deserve up to this point. Which might be worth fighting for but if you believe that that you can do better, I would walk away - no agreement/liability to the company and if they are passionate about the idea rebuild it with a stronger team quicker.

The difference this time is they is more knowledge, clearer path and knowledge of what a competitor is doing. Consider it draft 2..if that's a direction you want to go.
i think you made a better case for meritocracy than the article itself.

the point you made earlier of people who dont ever have visibility of the 'other' always sees only from their pov particularly resonated. it is human nature to find joy with what we have. the projection of the privileged class about what the 'other' lacks is more damaging than any other inequality.

it's like someone who is happy with their prius until they saw that they neighbour got a tesla. suddenly, they feel impoverished.

now..what do you call the person who walks around the neighbourhood and keeps telling the prius guy that its unfair that the neighbour who is human just like him has a tesla..and why not him!

we have more people walking around neighbourhoods spouting opinions sowing seeds of discontent these days. but at the end of the day, the prius guy and tesla guy should ignore the shit stirrer and go on with their lives..driving their own cars to get to their desired destinations.
You got nothing to lose all on your own (except time wasting with this person), but if that's worst enough. You have two options

1. 40 % of Nothing, other part gets the same deal.
2. You get 40 % of whatever this business is worth for. The other party gets the same.

You lose together or gain together. That's a fair game in a Startup as founders.

Don't accept anything else, if you do they just managed to bulldoze you out of your equity.

Stand for fair deal.

Don't get bullied by these negative tactics.

As other commenters have pointed out, it's generally defined in the first days of the course.

Speaking from my former job as "professor", the problem with cheating is that students are not benefitting from the work of others. They think they are, because they think the product of the class is a grade. But I taught math. This point of view is only successful if one can maintain the cheating throughout all classes and then one's job, which is an awful lot of work and in fact even harder than just learning the d(*& math.

From my point of view, I tried to use psychology to "trick" students into learning when they were inclined to cheat -- making the process of iteration into something worth points (you don't show me an imperfect MVP and then improve it? you don't get points), making acknowledgement of collaboration and outside sources into something worth points, etc. I also provided old copies of all my exams going back several years, some with answers, because I wanted all students to have an equal playing field. Last, I always included a question or two very similar to/identical to a question on a previous exam or homework. You might think this is just bad teaching, but it was actually a quite useful tool: since I telegraphed it beforehand, students actually studied the old tests/homework, thereby accidentally learning something, and then when a surprising number of students did terribly on something word-by-word from a previous test, we got to talk about effective learning techniques.

Cheating is relatively predictable in character. Use the impulses and mechanisms gently against reluctant students to trick them into learning despite themselves. It's way more fun than the alternative.

Youth are always writing off the oldies - I did it, and now that I am old, I see it happening to me - and that is ok - we need that passion to shake things up, even if they end-up eerily similar to the way things were done before...
"I would spend $15,000 of my own money and 8 more months of my life during which I deed control of my adrenal system to this stupid controversy and get little else done, and ultimately reach at best the same outcome as I'd have achieved walking away amicably, less expenses, before I would allow someone to take advantage of 11 months of my work".
I'll add this to my reading list. I recently finished "1491" by Charles Mann and wanted more reading. Thanks for the plug. :)
What’s the Best Productivity App? Your Own Personal System
Okay, so if it was a trade secret, that's trouble. But people will give away all sorts of information all the time. That's what the network is for.

If you want to publish a blog post on something, it's really involved. You have to make your vendors look good, your engineering team look good, and then there'll be this army of people on HN and Reddit who will nitpick everything so that you lose any of the good will you generate.

Wayyy better to just use private channels to exchange that information. So, if I'm considering data pipeline stuff I'll just hop on Discord with my friends and ask them how it went at their company and they'll just tell me.

Obviously none of us will tell the rest of the world, but we'll tell each other. Heck, strangers will do that in SF and Silicon Valley in general. Most people easily understand what parts are MNPI and what is company-private IP and what isn't. Until Xiaomi or Huawei or whatever stole that bloody robotic arm off T-Mobile even big companies would routinely officially sanction this information sharing.

The really concerning bit is that the cadets tried to cheat on a core course. I mean, West Point is an engineering school, where fluency in math is an absolute requirement. Did they really think they could get away with no math in the followup courses? How stupid can you be, trying to subvert the teaching?
Yep–without good testing support, it's hard to consider this for production usage.

There was a Reddit AMA from a jewelry store employee a while back that had some interesting tidbits:

The best options would be Padparadscha sapphire blue color-change garnet., with bixbite as a close third and chrome tanzanite as a fourth.

How about recent political ads:

Vote for X! Y is going to destroy America! <insert imagery of America being destroyed under Y>

A political ad is substantially more than awareness (which I'm not denying as being a part, I'm saying it is a small part). But this ad, like most, are there to convince you. It is still an ad.

This isn't to say that there aren't awareness based ads. There's also shitty ads run by first year film students. But these aren't what people are being bombarded with on prime time TV, in Times Square, or on popular websites. This isn't a mathematical proof where a single counter example discredits an entire thesis, because we aren't working in absolutes here. Acting like it does is arguing in bad faith. For what it is worth, the examples I gave for Coke and car commercials are taught in first year marketing courses as well as psychology courses.
You're saying there are more than two sides. IOW, you appear to agree that it is a fallacy.
> Combined with latest articles about how Google supposably considers open web as an opponent for their app system, it is just worrying if the web is still safe with domination of these tech giants.

This sounds like Apple. I mean, Google is pro web precisely because it translates positively to their bottom line. Android is a stop gap that is highly effective too. So web or mobile, they are fine.

Would appreciate links to those articles.

It seems that you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Corruption will always exist somewhere any any system at scale.

The question is how pervasive it is and how it is handled. For the most part the corruption is overstated because it is newsworthy.

I was talking to a guy I rented one from and he pretty much said "yeah, you used to be able to buy these at sears pretty much up until the year 2000". He mentioned that in order to rent them in the state of Texas you actually need a heavy machinery license (the same necessary for excavators, bobcats and bulldozers).

This guy was great though, he also helped out with my 30th birthday where my friends and I went out to a friend's ranch and just "played" with heavy machinery for a weekend.

I think even under that definition they don't truly reproduce and still aren't really life -- they don't create the same material they arise from for example (so not allowing for additional crystals to form). A non-renewing source of the material has a maximum amount of crystal that can grow, I would imagine. This is different than something like a virus, which carries the instructs to replicate itself and the ability to travel to new hosts to create more of itself (and still isn't really considered alive).
The CM4 and the Pi4 hack expose one PCIe lane, correct? Is it possible to use some sort of... port multiplier / switch / hub to run more than one PCIe device on a Pi?
Broadly speaking, we are being increasingly surveilled and this surveillance takes place under a capitalist machine, except perhaps in North Korea (although I will not venture in a semantic debate on that account). The winners in this world are getting larger and larger and accumulating ever more capital, so it could arguably be late-stage even if that concept is probably best left behind as too vague.
Therefore, is surveillance capitalism such a bad expression to use?

We can blame consumers for being unaware, or not active enough in defending their rights, or not careful enough in guarding their privacy and their mental models, but I am under the impression that it is more productive to work towards or at the very least orient ourselves towards a society where you do not have to be paranoid at every step instead of one that prioritizes simply assigning blame on an individual level and abandoning the idea of addressing structural problems.

In a sense, arguing over what is real capitalism or not in a defensive posture doesn't really address the issue. Pointing out that a subscription model would be the same in terms of revenue misses the point that Google is growing too big to remain a positive force in people's lives. In both cases we start from flawed premises.
> Shaming people who use mass-scale social media could help.

Start by shaming government officials and organizations, any official government channels, even schools and school boards, that require tools provided by surveillance capitalists. If a ToS and privacy policy to a third party is required, then your right to freedom of association is infringed upon.

If governments make official releases only to walled gardens, then those who choose not to associate are cut-off from important information in the political process.

Giving up your equal rights unless you give in to surveillance capitalism is a threat to democracy.

Start there.
