He makes an important point early on in outlining the mission of Wikileaks centering on making Data and Information freely accessible to all (the concept of Dataism, for those who have read Yuval Harrari’s HOMO DEUS).

However, the processing of Information into Intelligence that can be acted upon is what characterizes Intelligence agencies. Wikileaks does not concern itself with this phase. Yet, the CIA’s Pompeo is trying to paint a narrative that Wikileaks is doing this by labeling them a “non-state intelligence agency”, thereby justifying the CIA’s actions to attack Wikileaks.

In brief:

Narrative #1 - the CIA attacking an “Idealistic Free Information Publisher”.

Narrative #2 - the CIA attacking a “Non-state Dark Intelligence Agency”

The CIA is actively trying to create Narrative #2, which is a bit concerning.
Love it! I've been wanting to write a reader that RSS-like ingests things and gives me a throttled digest - to reduce the frequency of the slot pulling behavior.

The problem i've been struggling with is how i properly summarize. The slot behavior is useful because slot-wins have material impact of finding content i do, actually, want to consume. Reducing the slot-pulls to once a day puts more weight on something else doing the filtering. Meaning i fear missing things i care about.

I wonder if there's some type of non-ML pattern seeking implementation that will let you refine your filter to improve signal:noise. I say non-ML because i'm interested in non-trained, smaller locally hosted datasets.

Anyway, i digress. This is cool! I think i'll let this thing be my slot-machine for the next few days and see if i feel like i'm missing anything. Appreciate it!
How’s the privacy on a fairphone? The same as regular android?
Kind of sad there isn't much discussion on the positive effects of video games, which can boost reaction time and teach kids critical thinking skills.
I like work it out with guard rails. Observe, be prepared to talk about feelings, and ensure the lesson isn't "might is right", but otherwise give kids the opportunity to experiment with social interactions.
The uyghurs thing was mostly a us media thing that plaid into trumps hands. There was barely if any media interest here in europe. Personally i have no opinion but from here it looked more like a obvious us political tactic than an actual huge issue. I could be totally wrong tho, but this sentiment may explains why there was no real reaction ot was basically the wrong person talking about it.
This isn't in Xinjiang, it's suppliers in other parts of China that apparently had Uighur labourers sent out to them.
It very well could be if you don't feel the benefits outweigh the risks. But it's dumb to be fine with rail transport of petroleum and not LNG.

This study is strictly about whether you are more violent 10 years after playing the game.

If does not study at all the actual issue most of those who lived with excessive gamers (whether kid or adult) have. Meaning, annoying aggression right after playing and verbal abuse toward household members because they dare to exist if same flat where he lost the match.
Yeah, I doubt that video games will take a perfectly balanced healthy person and turn them aggressive. The problem though I think is that people who are aggressive to begin with may in fact normalize violence and in a stressful thoughtless moment IRL they may act on that violence. Again, this is not for most gamer folk but the ones who are predisposed to violence in the first place. Also sedentarism in children may be a factor to increase of violence.

I didn't say that. I was replying to a comment about the bitcoin being "vapourized" (falling in value substantially), and if that happened he's going to feel pretty stupid about throwing away half his salary. Versus being paid in real money and then deciding out of a basket of investments to put a small amount into bitcoin.
The liver will start to adapt by performing gluconeogenesis from fat, which has plenty of calories (almost 2x as much per gram as carbohydrates). A human can easily thrive on just fats and protein. See Inuit people who have lived on mostly blubber and meat for centuries.
I'm not sure about the specifics of your setup, but it sounds like ZeroTier could help you there.

I run it on my router as a Layer 2 bridge, and a client on each "road warrior" device (laptop, phone, etc).

For my laptop, I even rely on self-hosted services for many things, including DNS and I have no noticeable latency even when on a crappy network.

For context, all of that is running behind CGNAT for IPv4, which is very impressive.
So much this! WebAuthn is sort of doing this, but I think it is way too complicated. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. All we have to do is be better than passwords, and that’s a really low bar.
> They could see an iPhone boycott if this blows

Do you really expect a typical Apple user to actually care?
So, switch to an actual Chinese phone then?

About the only 'safe' phone would be a Samsung phone, but the likelihood that some parts are still sourced from un-vetted Chinese parts supplier is high.

Apple is far from perfect, but they do more than 99% of manufacturers. Even the most 'woke' fashion brands are now having to deal with the fact that much of their cotton is coming from Uyghur forced labor.

I applaud this kind of reporting, to expose the practices of the Nazi-like Chinese/Industrial exploitation machine, but I'm leery of the tendency to apply 'Apple' to every such article, like Greenpeace was doing for a long while to drum up publicity.
When I was a kid we didn't have a TV, but that doesn't mean we spent all day talking.

My dad spent his time reading the newspaper or Dick Francis murder mysteries, my mom spent her time either on the phone talking to people or laying cards. (Like Windows Solitaire but with actual cards).

When I wasn't fighting with my sisters I spent my time reading Donald Duck comics or playing Lego on my own.

Sure, we can pretend that we spent so much quality time with another all the time before screens came along, I'm just not sure it's actually true.
What I don’t understand is why companies want to be associated with these suppliers. Honestly the cost difference can’t be that big.

Also why isn’t it news? It feels like something that should have journalists camping outside Tim Cooks office.

While I question his motives, it’s kinda weird that Trump of all people seems to be the only one who is openly critical of China.
Do you have a comparative analysis of the ROI of these initiatives? Or is it just baseless conjecture?
This was commented on within The Simpsons itself. Frank Grimes explains starting at 1:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA1RgpYS2IQ
Forced labour in prisons is legal in the US right now. Equating forced labour as a whole with slavery, which is frequently used to refer to chattel slavery that existed in the US (HN audience is to large degree US-based) before 1865, may seem inconsiderate to those whose ancestors had to endure the latter.

What is reported to be happening to Muslims now in Xinjang, with reeducation camps and all, is not the same as treating a human as another piece of personal property. It is both not as bad, and yet at the same time somehow even worse, as this time a whole culture is being systematically eliminated.

I bought it by mistake once -- or because the supermarket was out of spaghetti and it looked "close enough", as you couldn't see the hole from the packet -- and I can't say I was impressed. I feel I may have overcooked it though; it had a similar texture to udon noodles, which didn't really work with whatever it was I was making.
SDR for engineers is an analog devices book - it's the best book on the subject I'm aware of, particularly because it teaches DSP explicitly for software defined radio.
approaching an adult for guidance isn't tattling. Approaching an adult to use leverage to get what you want is tattling, especially when its over "sharing a toy that isn't hers". Learning to become dependent on external intervention for all conflict is not a life skill I want to teach my kids.
> After the news started to spread, however, the article's author added an update saying, "This is a fake news story created and published on December 28 in celebration of the Holy Innocents Day in Spain. The content of it is false and has been created with a satirical humorous purpose. We hope you had fun reading it."

> Apparently December 28 in Spain is somewhat akin to April Fools' Day, in which it is common for false news stories to be posted, usually with a humorous slant.

my guess/understanding is that every team at Google is under significant pressure to monetize. Unlike the old days where there was more of a strategy of "build anything that brings people in, search/ads will monetize those eyeballs".

The 2018 google maps price increase could have given some execs HUGE bonuses under that new model, even if it isn't ideal from a Google-wide standpoint

Before the 2018 price increase I was convinced Google didn't care to have lots of little customers paying for Google Maps. It was all peanuts compared to their main income

This is a pretty poor argument.

This does not represent productivity in solving new problems, it just tells us it's worth reusing pieces for already solved problems.

Yeah carpenters might seem very productive if they started with increasingly already built houses like programmers do.

Solving the part of the problem that is novel still has irreducible complexity.
There is e.g. Fairphone
I mean, part of this is probably also some degree of us intuitively knowing the answer.

If you have a friend group of 10 people, 4 of which regularly work out. You will probably notice that those 4 friends have less body fat and are more toned than the other 6. At that point, if a study came out saying that working out had no impact on body physique, you'd reflexively question the results.

That might sound ridiculous, but lots of people here grew up playing "violent" video games through the 90s-00s, and had large friend groups who did the same. And it's pretty likely that, for most of us, none of our friends ended up with violent or aggressive tendencies.

Anecdotes are not scientifically rigorous, but they aren't completely useless either. If violent video games caused measurable increases in aggressive behavior, people who were around a large cohort of people playing these games would notice this fact in action. Just like they'd notice that friends who eat a lot of cake tend to be larger than the one who don't.
Your body can get energy/calories from carbohydrates, fat or protein. Whatever is available. You absolutely need proteins. Between fat and carbohydrates, the body can compensate. There is a clear limit on the ability to process carbohydrates.
I find that basically any video game is educational. From the most basic form of just teaching you new vocab to things like seeing into a job you haven't or wouldn't do in real life. Games are basically virtual work that's been made a bit more safe/easy/fun. You can grow digital vegetables and walk away knowing a bit more about that process than before playing. A game's dialogue and story may present philosophical themes that impact your real life, quite similar to reading a book or watching a movie.

The digital resources that don't cost you money also allow you to build things and think through things you otherwise couldn't. This is Minecraft's big appeal. You can't necessarily cut down the trees in your real yard, build structures without permits, and so on.

Games with online social elements also present similar benefits to hanging out with people. If you're fighting monsters with a group, you may talk about all sorts of things in your downtime.
I've seen this more and more lately. Sometimes I feel here like I'm on reddit.
Thank you! That turned out to be a great resource.

I have previously looked at something called the Trans Dinarica, a 2000km mountain bike trail through beautiful terrain in the Dinarica alps. Maybe this is a bit easier alternative, while no less epic.

I find that hard to believe. You take away games and I'd watch TV. Take that away and I'd read a book or listen to music. All equally "unproductive".
The book When Anger Hurts changed my life. https://www.amazon.com/When-Anger-Hurts-Quieting-Within/dp/1...

Thesis is that anger is the result of a cascade.

Expectations -> Disappointment -> Resentment -> Blame -> Anger

(From memory, will update if needed.)

So the trick is update one's expectations, short circuit the cascade before it can even start.

Separately, I learned that we can only replace habits with new habits, vs unlearn habits. Completely out of ideas, I faked being happy. One day I woke up, said to myself "Phenomenal!", and truly meant it. I was shocked that it worked. My whole transformation took about three years. YMMV. (Maybe having a life coach would work faster.)
I agree with you, and the GP. Hyper-realistic movies depicting human unpleasantness aren't much different to hyper-realistic games depicting human unpleasantness.

Why do people enjoy spending their leisure time experiencing that? It's not a rhetorical question.
One request: AskHN/ShowHN included as well.

I know it increases the content and thus the slot-machine surface area, but Show/Ask represent a good portion of my desire to come HN at all. There are many super interesting posts that never make it to the front page.
Bullshit. I know plenty of people who raise families in single family homes while being the sole breadwinner doing a trade. They just don't live beyond their means, and didn't incur a large amount of debt, student or otherwise. They're just hard working, responsible people, and they're some of the happiest folks I know. Most notably, they hate playing the "victim".

I keep hearing about webmentions in my fediverse bubble, maybe one day I should take a look at it.
By and large I think you're on point, especially with media portrayals. I think it's hard to conceptualize the bubbles that people live in until you experience it directly. People in various demographics have, quite literally, "no idea how the other half lives".

However, I still think inequality is a massive problem. People in trades or services that work for larger conglomerate companies can't fly under the radar, don't have health benefits, and can be laid off en masse. They aren't generally "doing OK".

Also:

>every kind of engineering other than "software engineering" requires occupational licensing and has professional associations that both stick up for workers and set a bar for training and quality

Once upon a time, that was the reality. These days a lot of occupational licensing exists solely for profiteering and protectionism. Professional education/certification companies print money on the back of egregious CPE requirements, while new entrants to the field find themselves absolutely crowded out of a few entry level jobs with financially prohibitive certification and education requirements. Mind you, these grads already have a pile of debt, and no way to pay it back yet. Those groups work great if you've been in the field for 15+ years, not so much if you're just starting out.

For better or worse, software engineering is slightly more egalitarian in that regard: you can self-educate, you don't necessarily need to amass a ton of debt, and can get even an entry-level job that would make the Simpson's life "attainable".
I agree. I think this can even be true of adults. Many times I see people make absolute or semi-extreme comments about a topic, but they've never been in the type of situation they are discussing. I think through mistakes as a child, we learn to question our emotional responses/impulses more.

Google Maps lost its luster for me when they made it difficult to plot arbitrary routes and draw regions.

Once upon a time, I would use google maps to plot hiking routes and draw regions to describe destination areas. Ie, "in this neighbourhood one can find good street-level shoppes".

You can still do these things, but it's cumbersome and buried in the menus; whereas I recall this behaviour being first-class.
>Why would I want to spend my leisure time experiencing that? How is that entertaining?

As another commenter above noted, it's a form of wish fulfillment and imaginary transgression, which is particularly appealing to teenage boys, since virtually all forms of actual aggression are off limits. Sports are the only arena where boys are allowed to be physically aggressive in real. Other than that, we have an entire group of young people who once would have been learning to hunt and kill and defend their clan but who now have to sit around and do very little besides read, write, and stare at computers. Arguably it's a positive thing to have less violence, but it leads many young men to wonder why the hell their bodies are strong and powerful. In video games, they at least get to pretend that there is some utility to being able to be forceful.
It is a non-issue: FileVault is enabled by default and while you can speculate about what would happen if Apple implemented Health storage without requiring encryption as they do on iOS that doesn't make it an issue until the unlikely event where they actually ship something which does that.
It does lead to issues. I'm a young enough to have gone through school with zero tolerance policies and heavy use of police calls. I got a record with my school for cursing in the 8th grade. That's right. I got suspended from a public school for 2 weeks and kicked off the football team and out of the school play for saying, "What the fuck?!" in shock after a kid poured something down the back of my shirt.

This lead to me being punished more than normal for the rest of my public schooling. Once you have a "record" if you so much as dare to be 5minutes late to a class they just send you to "in school suspension" as a bad kid for the entire day. There I met kids doing much worse things than me, and almost all of it was escalated by administration getting police involved. Police would hang around these kids to arrest them again and again, never teaching them anything.
>His point about libraries, though, is excellent. The rise of open source libraries radically changed the software world for the better.

It reminds me of "numbers don't lie but liars use numbers"
That's unfortunate (although for the majority of people in Britain, £ is obviously much more common).

You can't drive the death rate that didn't rise in the first place. In Israel people are dying with COVID-19, not because of it. We are yet to see someone die from COVID-19 who is not terminally ill, fat and diabetic, immunosuppressed (after organ transplantation or cancer treatment) or very old.

> So, your parents MAY have considered this the cause of your inability to properly handle it.

1.) You underestimate how uncomfortable and annoying resulting environment is for everyone in the household.

2.) "My brother and me fought" typically have consistent aggressor and removal of game is often action design to protect the consistent victim.

3.) Removal of game is logical consequence. If parent simply tolerates asshole behavior in that situation, the kid has no motivation to even try self control. It amounts to enabling where parents see issue, but tolerate it and the issue grows and grows.
