So on the one hand you recognise that the reaction emojis require little effort, but on the other hand you feel that the reaction emojis provide emotional friction to you adding your own nuanced explanation?

It's a common situation and the discomfort you feel is probably similar to what a woman feels when she wants to report unwelcome sexual advances or outright sexual harassment in a mostly-male workplace.

Though I suspect the discomfort a woman feels in that instance is significantly more crippling to her than the feeling you're getting about the nuanced argument you wanted to provide about whether closing braces for the "then" clause should go in a separate line to the "else" statement.

The solution is to carefully choose which battles you participate in, and which hill you want to die on.

I don't understand his claims of "working to make SF better"...basically everything wrong with SF is the result of policies formed by elected officials, all of whom would be re-elected tomorrow. Is he saying he wants to undermine the democratic process? This is the city people voted for, who is he to say otherwise?
Many ways! You reduce the nearly unlimited responses for various aspects of a defined few - such as a basic list of fonts or the nearest screen resolution. You only provide random data unless the user specifically grants fine tuned info. You stop providing long lists of capabilities and instead leave it to the implementation to assume.

Providing a “baseline” user agent instead of a detailed specific version could help for example.

Same question. If the securitization of the properties and pricing of the properties was exposed, this would be of a lot of interested to me.
if you look at the changes, there havent been any updates since April 2020. Seems odd for it to have no changes in close to a year, esp after what we know happened last weekend ( when we know feature flags were added )

The forum has posts of people who cant even run their own instance of Signal.

So why arent they sharing what is happening server side
I wanted to expand on this a bit.

If we are ever going to manage the flood of data out there we need digital agents acting on our behalf. The AI behind the facebook feed or the google ad tech is a very early beta of those agents - and "on our behalf" may seem a stretch. But that's not just a cheap snide remark - I think on our behalf is a fundamental issue of how they will be built and designed and regulated.

Richard Thaler has promoted Paternalistic Libertarianism - which seems to me a very good default setting for digital agents working on out behalf. It's not however that simple.

I hope we shall see a Medical approach to managing data - where everything is shaped by the best interests of the data subject. But there are three major world views - let's call them European, US and Chinese for over simplified ease.

The Us view is caveat emptor - one should be rugged individualist enough to be able to calculate the best co-pay arrangement and by extension work out ones preferred facebook privacy settings. If you get it wrong you will be prey for the payday loan industry.

The European view that by default it should be good for the individual (although as a Brit I should sneak in that the state gets to define good. And I suspect the Chinese view is it should be good for the confucian society - and the state may have some say in who is in and out of that.

As we are entering the new era of regulation of tech, these conflicting world views are becoming entangled - and we coders will be on that front line.

Choose a side - and be prepared for some very weird outcomes.

Correct - execution is more important than $, but I'd say that 75% of the time, execution is the byproduct of some intersection of capacity and access to capital. Not always, but often enough. So if you're competing against a VC-backed startup, you have to be both frugal enough not to breach the walls of fiscal solvency and really wise about your features, positioning, allocation of efforts, etc etc etc because you'll never beat them competing dollar-for-dollar. Speaking more broadly, venture capital distorts markets. I've called it the "capital-accumulation-market economy" elsewhere and it continues to ring true.
Jayden X was one of the very first in. It's on video. Would be tough to characterize him as a Nazi.

The point is that there are many people with many ideologies, ugly or not, that patriciate in this year-long age of unrest. Can we stop with trying to characterize everything as something?
Sure, but there are a lot of distros out there that do these things for you. Solus Gnome is probably my favorite out of the box experience. It's basically pre-configured exactly how I tune Gnome myself.
Given the age and size of the universe and how fast human technology has evolved in the last 1000 years, that would be an extraordinary coincidence.

That resonates; I find "buying experiences" philosophy to be a scam - a thinly veiled attempt to extract recurring revenue from people.

Could be lower. That stuff you spend your money on, it has a lot of embodied energy in it. Shame to have it manufactured when you could reuse it from someone who doesn't need it anymore. Shame to throw it away if someone else could make use of it.

Out of ways to be more environmentally friendly, this is one of the most low-effort, high-impact ones.

I can agree with a lot of this and I have to give it to you: you know what you want.

My concern (sorry to troll!?) is that I feel like some people don't like Google (or FB or amazon or other big tech) because of privacy concerns, some because of social impact (fake news, conspiracies, like antivaxx etc) concerns, some because of worries about media consolidation and power, some because its just cool to be contrarian.

Very few of those people will actually be happier with what is left if we "hit Google with hammers till it falls apart", which seems to be all anyone can think to do.

Coming back to your points, can I ask: what if (hypothetically) we implimented your points and prices went up and jobs were lost? Is that a price worth paying or is this all a means to an end (cheaper stuff and more jobs)?

I don't have a problem with either answer, but the Means To An End approach is how we got here so...

The fact that you can point to someone there that wasn't a nazi doesn't negate the fact that 100% nazis were both there and prominent.
Yet somehow all these locally-computed sites end up being much more bandwidth-demanding than old-school sites. Shouldn't be like this, but that's how it ended up working in practice.

I assume Google Trends fluctuations lag behind market price changes, so it probably isn't very useful. Would be curious to see the times that the two metrics are out of out sync, and speculations as to why.
I think they are saying, if your neural network was probabilistic and you thought there was a 90% chance of someone doing move A, but a 10% chance of move B, then you shouldn’t always get move A if it was human like - you would sometimes get move B.

I.e. most of the time if you leave your queen hanging and under threat your opponent will take it, but sometimes they just don’t see it. That’s the difference between playing a bot and a human a lot of the time - humans can get away with a serious blunder more often at low level play.
Yeah I have never been in a position in my life to just give stuff away. In the small circumstance that I am there is always a close friend I have in mind who would benefit from a gift. Seems insane to be a part of a community that is constantly giving free shit away.
> The answer is in your question, in my opinion. Targeted answer. The underlying assumption is that you are asked this during an interview after your "job hunting", which means that you have applied to that company, which should mean that you have read about it, looked at what they're doing, and was interested in joining them.

I have seen many companies ask this question when you are submitting a written application as well.

In addition to the money argument raised in another comment, the Apple development experience is a major annoyance when all you need is a couple lines of JS.

I have an extension idea; it's literally a single line of JS. However, to get it into Safari, I need to create a (useless, and empty) Mac app with a specific configuration in Xcode that'll allow it to appear in the "extensions" list in Safari. Then I need to deal with all the signing & App Store distribution stuff if I actually want to distribute it.

The money isn't even an issue (I have a developer license for other reasons - creating actual apps), it's just the annoyance and insane barrier of entry when the majority of extensions don't need anything but JS.

There's also the issue of how Safari discovers extensions and what actually causes your extension to appear in its list. Is it opening the associated "app"? Not always as I've had trouble with that before - the app is compiled, it's open, but the extension is nowhere to be seen in Safari's preferences. It mysteriously self-resolved after some more trial and error. Updating the extension's JS while developing is also unclear. Does it happen upon app recompile? App relaunch? Who knows - I gave up before even reaching this stage - this whole process is bullshit.

The whole idea that browser extensions are "apps" is stupid and annoying. They should be separate, and while apps install on your OS, browser extensions install in your browser. They should have their own file format (openable directly by Safari, with optional code signature checks) and their own Store (a website within Safari). At least that would solve the problem above - you open an extension file in your browser and it installs in your browser - no ambiguity there. To update you open a new file (which overwrites the previous one based on a potentially signed Bundle ID or similar) and it updates.

The worst is that they had all of the above already and then decided to shit all over it about 2 years ago (in addition to removing much-needed APIs that allowed uBlock Origin to work and replaced it with something way less powerful).
That actually completely flew over my head. Politics aside, I think that's a clever little easter egg.

Kudos for catching it!

You know what rules about Buy Nothing?

Kid stuff.

My partner and I have young kids, so it is a revolving door of stuff in our house.

Buy Nothing solves a major problem in that if we need to get rid of something, someone wants it. And on the other side of that coin, if we need something, someone probably has it and is looking to part with it.

As an added bonus, we have built a much stronger connection with many of those who live in our neighborhood, people we might not otherwise have crossed paths with.

In the words of your average Ebay review, *A++++ Would Buy Nothing again*

That is definitely the reason I haven't tried to develop anything for the Apple ecosystem even though I've used it for more than a decade. $100 a year is wasted money for hobby projects which may not even be published in an app store.

It doesnt help that they constantly shut down criticism of it which only emboldens those who live in this new borderline thought police order as the norm.

The side effect of this is that it aggravates hostility towards those very groups that society is "protecting". I just see no way out of this downward spiral.

Pretty soon we will be "reeducated" when it offends the hypersensitive hive mind in a semi totalitarian "western democracy"

I do believe that we will see secession of states like Texas who has their own conventional military and tech giants relocating there signals tax cuts. This would seriously undermine the Biden-Harris administration and I don't believe that Texas in particular will end up like Quebec where it needs to rely on Federal subsidies and generous tax credit for businesses.
Fascinating. If it’s rare, then could this be a big potential problem?
They did not reek with "EvilCorp software, big brother watching your moves". It was just "entusiast made software". It felt human made.
You are plainly ignoring the actual privacy sandbox in favor of the clickbait. Google is killing 3p cookies which kills google competitor products. But the sandbox is purpose built to create new infrastructure for the competitors (and google) to rebuild in a privacy focused way. The privacy sandbox is a way to create an alternative to IDs (like google’s sign in option) and 3rd party cookies. You can go through proposals and see how these can work here: https://github.com/w3c/web-advertising

Look, I’m not a google fan but you can’t just ignore half of what google is doing. Even then, you’re missing that they are other ID projects that are closing ground on googles ID.
> "but it is not an eyesore"

To me it is because I can't stand dark themes or pages that artificially restrict text flow width such that I have giant empty seas of nothingness on either side of my maximized browser window, so YMMV. The only thing really wrong with HN's current styling is that it uses microscopic fonts so I have to zoom in the page. Luckily browsers all remember text zoom settings.
Its technically very simple but politically very difficult. The point I am making is that the power usage is not directly tied to transactions. Not making a transaction on the blockchain will not save X watts because that power is burned regardless of what transactions are going through.

An example would be that me not driving to the beach saves some fuel but bitcoin is just a train constantly driving to the beach and back regardless of how much I use it. You could grab the number of trips and the power usage and calculate a power usage per trip but its not an entirely useful metric since the power usage does not scale up as more people use the service.
Part of it may be the “offer what you have mention what you want” - more time allows for more efficient allocation.

It also allows you to select the most “deserving” though I’m more interested in how hard feelings are avoided.

FWIW these proposals change every month and there are weekly calls with some of the W3C group about this. Nobody in adtech actually believes 3p cookies will be gone by the claimed date.. you can’t rebuild the entire ecosystem in (now) less than a year.
Every time I hear about the problems of the SLS project, it reminds me of every government project I've ever worked on.

For people used to private industry, the difference is that in government, everything is decided in meetings. Meetings after meetings, even formally selected committees. There are meetings to decide who has the authority to select the members for the committee to make a decision about which decisions need to be formally decided. I wish I was kidding.

The worse part of it all is that each step, superficially at least, seems so... reasonable. It's not like they do crazy or stupid things! On the contrary, everything is decided by big groups of perfectly reasonable people.

Yet... the product is failure. Expensive, public, clearly avoidable, clearly wrong, and predictably faulty.

From the outside, it would be hilarious if it wasn't our money they were wasting. From the inside it's weirdly depressing, know that that no man has the power to right the ship, that it's headed towards the jagged rocks, and everyone with their hand on the tiller is convinced that they're all doing the right thing at every turn.
