> The Keychron spacebar partly overlaps X and comma,

This was part of my "wasn't a fan of the layout" comment. The alignment of the X and Comma with the Command key, which is a key your thumb reaches to a thousand times a day, is so much more comfortable than any other keyboard I've found. And it really created some strain for me on the K3. I also wasn't a fan of the right shift being shorter to make room for the full size arrow keys (I'd rather have a tenkeyless or, preferably, the half-height keys on Apple keyboards) or of the function key on the right.

Really, I just wanted the Apple Magic Keyboard, the 60%/65% one, with a more tactile feel to it and preferably in black. I've looked at dozens of keyboards over the last 8 months and the K3 was the closest I found. So I'm just going to stick with the Magic Keyboard.

My Windows 10 also plays H.264 from a clean install (defaults to Movies and TV viewer) and the list of installed codecs (supplied from Microsoft) contains mp4, xvid and even divx, so no idea where you get the idea that Windows 10 only sells as a N edition. I bought my licenses in Sweden.

That sounds like you're trying to propose a solution that's as far as possible from addressing the root cause and any "human error". NASA didn't need a shuttle that would refuse to take off in cold weather. They needed engineering assessments that realistically quantified and clearly communicated the risks of launching in cold weather. Given accurate information about the capabilities of the shuttle, mission control would have waited for warmer weather or implemented countermeasures.

A childhood friend has become very angry about tax exemptions for religious organizations. Curiously, he's not at all bothered by tax exemptions for the NFL, the NRA or other organizations. It's pretty obvious that he's not actually angry about the tax exemptions, it's the religious organizations he doesn't like.

Similarly, there are many stories on HN by people who are very angry about the energy usage of Bitcoin. Curiously, they're not at all bothered by far greater wastes of energy from other technologies and industries. It's pretty obvious they're not actually angry about the energy use, it's Bitcoin they don't like.

I've never seen an off-the-shelf processor that has hardware support for doing that kind of cross-checking on every instruction. And doing it in software would probably add so much overhead that the error-checking would be much more likely to fail than the application code.

If you're willing to relax your real-time constraints a bit, and risk a brief period of incorrect behavior before the error is caught, the problem becomes vastly easier and cheaper to solve.
Crypto: Rally or Inflection Point?
We don't have an infinite pool of human states. We have one history. We don't have examples of modern and unconnected.

We do have examples of collapses from too much interconnection and trade. A good example of systemic collapse of this sort, from another point in human history, is Late Bronze Age collapse circe 1150BC. There were complex, structured societies which were pretty efficient for the time, due to trade and specialization.

All of the major cultures were wiped out, all at about the same time, when those structures broke down.
> Why would illegal stop them from trying heroin if someone thought it better than sex?

Lack of access (or not knowing how to access it) comes to mind, among many other reasons.
I want to agree with what your saying but with a caveat.

Years ago I was an office manager at a battery supply warehouse (car batteries not AA’s). We had an employee that had started working for us for about 6 months when it became vary apparent that he had a drug problem. Because his brother also worked there we knew that he had suffered a major car accident, was in crippling debt from the medical bills, and developed a pain pill habit as a result. He was only 19 at the time.

The issues that involved the work place were things like being consistently late, taking 2-3 hour lunch breaks and coming back high. So high, that he could not perform basic job tasks like counting a pallet of battery cores. My biggest concern was that he was licensed to use our fork lifts and so I had our warehouse manager do his best to keep him off the forklifts.

At this point I recommended to my boss that we fire him for the repeated offenses, as well as recommend that he seek drug consoling. I felt bad for him. He had a problem. He needed help. But he did not need to be working at that job for his and others safety. My boss and my boss’ boss, on the other hand, decided it was best to send to him to a “random” drug test, so that when the fired him they could do so with indisputable cause. This did not work, he disappeared for many hours, despite the drug testing facility being just down the street, and the results came back clean. I know that people have many ways of faking drug tests. I suggested again that he be fired for the offenses and not the drug test. Again my bosses disagreed and sent him to two more “random” tests each week after that.

The employee in question got wise to this. He knew what they were trying to do. So he went to a therapist and got a declaration of temporary disability. My company then had to pay him his full wages for 6 months with out him needed to come to work.

And I sat back and laughed at my bosses, as the unemployment claim would have be nominal by comparison.

edit: not sure why this would be down-voted. It is just a real story, relevant to the thread. I was only suggested that waiting for test results when possible danger lurks was not the right course of action. i forgot to add the employee did come back after his psychological disability ran out. And of course they sent him to take a drug test again. He failed that one and was fired.
> The rich get richer in this scenario because low interest rates increase the buying power for everyone, which means they can buy more expensive houses or pay less for the mortgage on the house they already own, which in turn means they can buy more things from Amazon, which means Amazon does more business, which means the stock price goes up, and so on.

Oh, so everyone is getting richer! Whew, Thanks, I was worried for a second.

I would say the grandparent even has the correlation backwards.

Tech isn’t necessarily harder or easier, there is just so much demand for tech that employees can afford to walk away from egregious behavior. Most creative industries do not suffer from extremely high demand.

In fact this isn’t even true for all tech. Academia sounds like a big hazing ritual. Games has had high profile abuse cases. And startups can be plenty exploitative.
A lot of various apps do that by connecting to the Twitter API. I read Twitter through Feedbin.

This is the most glaring wrong assumption that causes your and GP's confusion.

90+% of startups fail.

Note: "failure predicts failure but success does not predict success" could still be true even if business failure rates were >= 50%! But the fact that failure rates are higher than 50% is the first and simplest mistake in this line of reasoning.

> To do OS reinstalls, you want to be in 1TR.

I think the best bet, security-wise, if you really want to do a full/complete/total OS format/reinstall, is to boot external media, force zeroize all of disk0 (including 1TR), and use DFU mode to restore the .ipsw using Apple Configurator.

This is, of course, way more of a pain in the ass, and requires another computer, and internet access, but hopefully has the added benefit of leaving very little (really, the smallest amount practically possible without disassembly/extreme measures) persistent state on the machine from before the reinstall.
Are they only blocking it at the DNS level? If so running your own resolver should do the job too.
From my own personal experience with online advertisement, it pays off in one specific case. If a user is right now comparing multiple solutions to a specific problem, showing them an ad for your solution could pay off. E.g. if someone searches for plumbers near their home, an ad of your plumbing company will have a decent CTR and may bring in business. Bombarding someone looking for random entertainment after a hard day at work with ads of luxury cars would be quite futile.

The advertisement companies know this very well, but they also know that the specific, well-aimed ads make a small fraction of their revenue. So they have a very direct interest in using the success metrics from the specific ads to sell their platform to a much wider range of customers, for whom it will never pay off.

There's also considerable FUD[0] involved in the decision process. Sure, you don't see your ads paying off directly, but there must be that legendary brand awareness building up in the background. What if you decide to pull the plug on ads, and in a year your company's sales drop by 20%? Do you want to risk your entire career over a choice of saving your employer's money that isn't your own money anyway?

Also a huge chunk of advertisers are clueless people that decided to try ads for the first time. They don't know what to expect in terms of payoff, they don't know to make specific problem-oriented ads (and whether their case is even a problem-oriented case). So they spend some ad dollars and move on. But due to the scale of the market, it still adds up to a healthy profit for the platform.

Okay but so what? Why do I have to have an opinion of PJ Vogt? I can have an opinion about whether I like his podcast or not, but what he does in his workplace concerns his coworkers.

Beyond a vague "we should condone X and condem Y because we want to encourage X-doers and discourage Y-doers", there's no reason for us to care what PJ Vogt does, and even this level of condemnation seems way overblown to me for someone that just decided not to help someone else out (not even hinder them, just not help them).

If people showed half the passion about holding their politicians accountable as they do for random people who did stuff in their lives, society would be in a much better place. I wonder if these pitchfork crowds are at least partially a reaction to people feeling powerless to effect actual change via the democratic process. Sort of the old joke about the drunk man looking for his keys under the streetlight because "this is where the light is".
> the 21st century equivalent of a girdle. You give up a certain amount of comfort, but hey, at least you look sexy.

My wife does a lot of sewing and garment making. She has convinced me that a properly designed and fitted girdle is actually a net-benefit for people. The trouble is proper fit is hard at a mass scale, which is why women transitioned to bras, which also have notorious fit issues, but are at least manageable when mass produced.
Look at the data on those who have chronic pain: they are prescribed opiates at high dosages daily (equivalent to extreme abuse), and doctors think this is acceptable. Heroin is essentially just an opiate. They do not show effects as bad as life-long alcohol users, nor obviously abusers. A lot of socially acceptable alcohol use would be called abuse if society was fair about it.

Sorry If I was not clear, I see some people commenting that they like Steam so Epic, Origin and others are evil and should not exists. My point is that we should wish they exist and compete and that games would be available on all of them so you can chose and would also be great if the launchers would also be optional like GOG.

Also today there are many examples of PC players playing together with console players so there is no technical reason why someone that uses Steam should not be able to play multiplayer game with someone that bought on GOG or PlayStation Store.

I guess I'm not really up to date on Vancouver. In the GTA the suburbs aren't much cheaper than the city and needing to buy a car wipes out most of the savings. When I interned in Toronto at an average paying place, there were full time devs in their mid 20s who still lived with their parents and commuted 90 minutes every day. That was the only way they could save for the downpayment on a little condo in the suburbs. It's a really sad lifestyle.

> is not how it is supposed to work

But THIS is how it works. This reality doesn't fit your paradigm. But the reality prevails.

In other words, when you stop paying them.. it stops. You can no longer consume the goods, past-present-future. You call it subscription. I call it a service. Because in my mind a subscription to a Newspaper is "News-as-a-Service. I stop paying Amazon, I lose the AWS. I stop paying the Economist, I lose access to all (present-past-future) issues.

Downvote all you want. Call it what you want. Still.. someone give me an example where the subscription ENDED, and they still have access to the Benefits. If not.. you're welcome. NaaS. Unless you get the paper-copy. Then you ACTUALLY bought the "News" and ONLY because YOU control the physical medium (the paper its printed on).
That's a good point, I wasn't thinking of that.

I agree that the time dimension should at a minimum be communicated, and longer term analytics on this kind of data can almost always be done without associating the data with individuals.
The more pressing issue is the fact that critical tools that we depend upon are not properly funded or the incentive to properly maintain them is simply not there. Many of these projects were started as pet projects in peoples spare time. Sure, Google gives a lot of money and contributes to some of these projects but their contributions do not match how much they depend upon them. This is all compounded by the fact that Google is actively working to undermine many of these same projects because they can't get a license change or projects don't want to bend to their will.

Rewriting the world in Rust or other "memory safe" languages is not going to be the silver bullet that is being claimed. In the case of Rust, I am tired of people evangelizing it when it's plagued with issues that undermine its goals and rewrites will bring about more nasty bugs. "Unsafe" code will still need to be written and not being able to use or have stable toolchains to work with is a non-starter for a lot of projects. Until all of these languages have set standards and stable toolchains, hopefully the Rust Foundation will push, these languages are a non-starter.

What? You can put a BMW engine in another car, you can put another engine in a BMW. BMW does not make it so that you can't use other engines or parts. This is nothing like BMW. I don't know about Tesla, but I suspect it's more a matter of others not making engines that fit the spec than it being explicitly designed to not allow other engines, but I really don't know enough about them to so.

The running of it is always easy. Getting to the point it's successful is hard, because it requires many other things to go right.

> This is why Epic doesn’t want to do it themselves, but rather sue it out of Apple.

What are you talking about? Epic is specifically bringing suit so they can run their own app store. Not only that, but they already run their own app store. Epic already has the infrastructure and inventory to be a credible alternative for games, because they have hundreds of games they already deliver on Windows, at a smaller cut than Apple charges in their app store.

This isn't about Epic wanting to cash in on Apple's app store it's about them outgrowing it and wanting to open their own store when Apple won't let them (they might also be fine with a lower cut from Apple, but they would rather run their own store. They're keen to spend those Fortnite billions to expand as quickly as possible. They already opened their alternative to Steam on Windows, they would be happy to be the alternative to the App Store on iPhones for games).

The fascinating thing about this stuff is that you can have outlier people. For instance, tobacco is supposed to be highly addictive.

Well, I picked up smoking from a girlfriend in college and we used to smoke all the time. Like ten cigs a day for a year and a half. Real bad, right?

Well, one day, I decided "Meh. I'll just stop" and I did. Not because of any reason. I just chose not to.

Now cigarettes are way addictive but I just chose to stop. More addictive than Benzos and shit and I just stopped cold turkey without any other reason.

Many of my friends struggled with quitting but eventually did. But I did it way easy. It's unlikely that I'm some super outlier, but clearly I'm some near the right edge of the bell curve in ease of exiting cigarette dependence.

That makes me think there are other outliers. This guy must be a heroin outlier. And considering the dependence inducing strength of that drug, he must be a far outlier.

Anecdotally, I purchased a heated blanket from Amazon for my father and had it shipped to his address. When I went to look at order details, Amazon advertised to me other things the person I shipped this item to may like. Men Diapers, Pet treats etc... I don't own a pet due to allergies and I am very young to be searching for adult diapers. I found it very rude and unprofessional of Amazon to share such a personal suggestion with me.

I called Amazons customer service to complain about their suggestions. The representative said that their suggestions are based on my searches and purchases. I believe the suggestions are also based on the purchases made for that address.

My father doesn't even get an option to opt out of Amazon suggesting things he's purchased, to other people to purchase for him. There isn't an option for privacy.
