For highly skilled technical people and business leaders, we already do live in that society. There are many companies that will happily pay you entirely unreasonable amounts of money to work a 9-5 job. However, you can opt in to lifestyles where you work yourself to death in the hopes of getting even more excessive riches and fame than you would get by living a more relaxed lifestyle.

If you want to confirm something where others have an interest, you may easily find all sort of confirming results.

What you'd like to look for is those results proving it doesn't work. Personally, ads are simply an annoyance and sometimes even hostile at times.
It seems like FLoC could make it easier to opt out centrally rather than going through a mess of specific (dis)approvals for the specific trackers on every site. Maybe it could even be a good place for a dial - "I'll expose a 4-bit cohort, but nothing more specific."

It also seems like FLoC could make it more politically viable to crack down non-consensual tracking. Publishers wouldn't be able to say "we have no choice but to deal with this [third party tracker] scum" but could continue to gate content by subscription or (consensual) FLoC as necessary for their business model.

Pushing publishing and advertising towards proactive consent about targeting puts them into a dialog with the market about what's ok, instead of letting them hide behind a bunch of shifting tracker businesses.

This crosses my mind from time to time, what physical properties sustain conciousness?

Our brains, which is where we suppose our conciousness originates, is made (most likely) from the same sub-atomic particles inanimate objects are made of.

So is there something more to these inanimate objects? Does a rock has more potential then we are aware of?

I don't know. Funny question to ask though.
That's a typo/mistranslation, but the edit button was disabled by the time I noticed it. I meant to say it removes anxiety, and didn't mean to say "any". It answers most questions in the product discovery/PMF stage.

But that's a good question. IMO, there's two chaotic things humans have to deal with - war and software. Both of these adopt a lot of processes to deal with all the chaos.

There's an interesting military anecdote by Joel Spolsky. If you're at a mine field, you stop. If you're being shot at, you charge at the enemy, while shooting back. If you're in a mine field and being shot at, which do you do? You charge and shoot because stopping will just get you picked on one by one. These rules are thought out in advance, so everyone knows what to do in the situation.

The book is similar, but for startups. It feels rigid, but it tells you the next step. So my answer is A.
I have an iPad Pro with FaceID and the smart folio keyboard and that is a close analogy to the laptop with FaceID.

With FaceID I don’t have to “do” anything to unlock it. When I sit down in front of the iPad, it is just unlocked. I don’t have to think or act to make it happen.

With the laptop with touchID, I need to press a key to wake it and then press the right finger on the touchID key to unlock. It is a more deliberate and complex action.

I can see on phones that the differences are less, but even in the time of masks, I tend to prefer FaceID. If I’m using my phone, I’m also looking at it. The mask gets in the way but that is only a few times a day when I’m at the grocer or something like that. I know that with touchID I could pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock with my finger in one movement, but that doesn’t save much for me. You may use your phone differently that that’s fine. I think there would be value in a phone with both systems as people have different needs and preferences.
As a summary;

- Participants preferred whatever they saw first

- Otherwise, accelerating or rapidly accelerating progress bars were generally preferred

If you're designing progress bars with an unknown time to completion, my recommendation is to use an accelerating function for the first 95% over the predicted median time to completion. Then linear timing function for the next 4% and set the time to 3x the median time to completion. Automatically fill the bar when progress completes, no matter what.

e.g. if an action takes a median time of 4s to complete;

f(0 <= t < 4) = 0.95 * ((t / 4) ^ 2)
f(4 <= t <= 16) = 0.95 + (0.04 * ((t - 4) / 12))
f(t > 16) = 0.99

You can adjust this however you see fit but I find it gives a pleasant experience.

In the 1930s and early 40s Congress sat around arguing, refusing to allow the US to enter the war, despite the fact that our allies were being defeated and our economic interests were being threatened (to say nothing of the moral obligation we had to save Jewish lives, particularly after turning away ships full of Jewish refugees). In all likelihood our late entry resulted in a longer, costlier war -- we had to fight for more territory and against more fortified defenses, and our allies were less able to fight alongside us after so many defeats.

Look, there is a good argument that Congress has delegated too much authority to the executive branch and some of that authority should be withdrawn. That is not the same as saying that the executive branch should not make any determinations whatsoever and should only be given exact instructions by Congress. We should always be wary of going to the extremes in either direction -- the Romans gave the executive far too much power and we would not want to repeat their mistake, but an executive with too little power would be equally disastrous for the country.
Forget pride in your work, this is literally costing rockstar money. It may be hard to estimate, but I’m sure it was in the hundreds of dollars a day category at some point. Shaving milliseconds off of loading time has real effects in the web world and so at a previous job we made sure to evangelize that fact to management and did what we could to tie it to revenue as well as other KPI in order to get this kind of thing prioritized. I’m just surprised there isn’t a PM at rockstar pushing hard to reduce load times.
> Ok, but it also means that somebody touched all your M&Ms.

This would be normal for M&Ms that were just dumped into a bowl, too -- you can't eat from the bowl without touching the other M&Ms.
> Where is "I"? Is that the problem?

Roughly, although I would say it's not so much "where" as "what".

Your answer that "there is nothing doing the experiencing" strikes me as obviously unsatisfactory, given that "I" experience things all day long every day, and "I" assume "you" do too.
That's a terrible answer for a website like HN where accuracy is important.
That's actually kind of insane. Seamless transfer would take quite a high priority on the scale of things to implement, one would (and will) imagine.
Transferring from and iPhone to an iPhone is so well-done that it actually adds to the pleasure of having a new phone.

This sounds like something a fanboy would say, but honestly it's just a really rather objective comparison of the functionality.
I'm not sure how we can get back to the previous balance. Fundamentally, the cost of an item is a combination of materials and labor to manufacture (setting IP issues aside). Goods are now much cheaper compared to repair labor because automation has dramatically reduced the amount of manufacturing labor required. To make things cheaper to repair than to buy, we'd need to either make them artificially more expensive (thus making them unavailable to many people) or make repair cost a pittance. Since troubleshooting and repair is inherently less automatable than manufacturing, the only way to significantly reduce the cost of repair is to pay people much less for repairs. And then who will want to do repairs for you?

> Why would you want a car capable of going 60 miles an hour when a car that only goes 10 miles an hour will still get you there? Because it saves you time.

The analogy isn't perfect but let's play... What if your Ferrari just stopped working each month once it went 100 miles? Sure it saved you time when it was working, but now you can't use your Ferrari AT ALL for 2/3 of the month. What about if you need to get milk later in the month? Doctors appointment? etc.

To expand on this, what if your kids drove the Ferrari, full throttle. They might reach that 100 mile limit in one day! That's how data works now. Netflix, YouTube and others detect my fast connection, and throttle the quality up, thereby exhausting my cap quicker.

Exhausting my cap at high speed in 2 days doesn't benefit me for the remaining 28 days of the month.

This would be solved if I had better controls over this behavior from either my ISP, device, service or local network.
It is antinatalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism), and an idea to which I'm not unsympathetic.

Basically, life is suffering, and from the view of reducing the amount of suffering in the world, it is a good to abstain from bringing more beings into this world to suffer.
Interesting. I'm always happy to see innovation in crypto space. Here's some questions off the top of my head:

Who is your target demographic?

How is this better than a paper wallet?

What happens if Gridlock disappears?

Do you have plans for a security audit?

Where's the code? Is this going to be open sourced?

How are you going to make money?

Who are your direct or close-enough competitors? I think Tresor does MofN Multisig wallets.

Yes I agree.

So, important, in safety critical code, to assume that others might blindly copy paste in bad ways -- and then try to warn them, although you might not be there any longer
It looks incredibly bad for nations to be playing 'vaccine nationalism' and banning exports of anything, especially life medicine, to other nations. It looks possibly very petty and incompetent. The vaccine maker will claim that their commercial obligations are to Australia, the EU is literally overriding commercial deals for nationalist reasons, very bad, and exposes their own failure to negotiate a good deal, especially on home turf.

The only upside is the PR to some local citizens who want to feel that 'The EU is doing their job protecting us'.

Successful nations are not resorting to this. The EU is way behind and it's a really look.

The UK is 33% vaccinated and is going to fully open up in a few months, once they are full-blown open, then the clock is ticking on Von Der Leyen's job and the credibility of the EU because every day that goes by while US/UK are full steam ahead is a slap in the face. If the EU is 6 months behind fully opening up then the consequences - were there actually any way for EU citizens to do anything about it - would be severe. Since the EU political system is shielded from populism like 'elections' and certainly 'referendums' they're probably safe. I suggest the elites will band together and put all the blame on Von Der Leyen. But it may not come to that, production is ramping up it may not be so bad.

This is the biggest crisis of our era so the headline optics are really important, and the underlying materiality of lock-downs are felt by every citizen in the country. Imagine 60 million people under duress, looking next door, seeing how everything is open and happy? That's a political nightmare.

The vaccination data is here [1]

At the current rate, UK is open in a few months, US a bit thereafter. EU won't be able to open for technically 2 years (!!) so it's going to really depend on how vaccinations ramp up. Every politician is sweating.

Edit: I should add, Italy blocking shipments to Australia is a completely different kind of communication than for example Trump, saying, earlier in the pandemic that he would 'prioritize Americans'. The later is a tough, but reasonable sounding policy. But actively blocking shipments especially when agreements have been made - it's bad. Honestly, if it were a remotely 'poorer country' like Brazil or whatever ... it would be even worse.

It's just bad however you cut it. The headline you want is 'we'll be done by August' etc..

It's because Whatsapp backs up to Google Drive and iCloud respectively. I have no idea why the backup format can't be agnostic of what it's backed up on. That would make the syncing logic agnostic as well.
I still use Sublime Text to this day because it's far and away the fastest option among these usuals, and I do most everything else in a terminal. VSCode is turning into the Chrome of free IDEs and I really don't like that direction at all.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I'm missing in Sublime, anyway.
And people wonder why the birth rate is continuing to decline. Our nation-wide workaholism is making family life an increasingly distant fantasy. I've had this discussion with my S/O before, and we've always come to the same conclusion: it would be irresponsible for us to adopt while both of us are working. That's a difficult place to be in, considering we're both quite passionate about our jobs. It makes me quite depressed to watch my chance at parenthood slowly pass me by, perhaps for good this time.

I think what you're suggesting is footed on the appeal to nature fallacy. What happens in nature is natural and therefor good.

Also, I'm not sure a cephalopod has evolved the physical and mental capability to vary its diet on command such that it can choose if it will feed on other animals or not.

At some level humans and cephalopods are just animals, and equivalent in that regard, but I'm not sure I accept the equivalence far beyond that or especially when it comes to morality.

At one of my employers, we did this with backups. Every now and then one of the team was asked to claim to have accidentally removed some files, asking the sysadmins to recover them. This was a regular sanity check that to confirm that incremental backups were working.

We have self-service backup restores for user files, so we get to spot check which users can be bothered to read the documentation on the wiki...
From my experience as a scrum master, if there is any micro-managing going on, it's being done wrong. The standup should literally be no more than a minute per person. Each person gets 2-3 sentences: "I did this yesterday. Today I'm working on this. I could use some help with X. (if applicable)"

It's meant to help keep the team aligned on what everyone is doing at a higher level, not for any details at all. After the standup, the team can address any requests for help that came up as needed. But that falls outside of the standup.

Agile is meant to help empower teams and improve their velocity, and that requires people to own their own stuff. So the standup should be a purely informative, high-level overview of where the team is so everyone is aligned. If it's anything more, it will become a cumbersome, painful exercise in micro-management and tangential discussions.
Auth0 Won in the Identity and Access Market with Developer Led Adoption
People/Politicians etc. have a long memory. If you think of it as a "treat others how you would like to be treated," eventually it will come down to a situation where Italy or some other EU nation will need assistance. In a "my people first" scenario, it's always easy to find a reason why you should not help someone else while justifying that your aid is needed by your people. By blocking the vaccine, they are setting themselves up to be retaliated against sometime in the future.
I still think Sublime text is the best out there
So you're saying it's not worth trying moving in that direction, just because people don't use it now?
Nice! That's exactly it...

It still coerces consent with a bad default. Sites will refuse to operate unless the FLoC is enabled, or will become obnoxious to use with it disabled. However, if FLoC were disabled by default then sites would be less likely to provide an obnoxiously bad service to those with it disabled.

The best default is not to track at all.
Compared to what?
My experiance of traditional project managment is we used to have milestones, write daily progress reports, requirement anaysis meetings with BA's etc

In my mind scrum has less bureaucracy than that.

Scrum Meetings are best used as a way to come together as a team to work how to make progress today.

For example:

I want to deploy this change to prod today, but one of the tests is failing and I don't know why. Ok lets get a couple of people to mob on the test to figure out whats going on after scrum etc

That's a good scrum meeting.

Bad scrum meeting. Person 1: I did x yesterday. Person 2: I did x yesterday etc Person 3: I tried to get x done yesterday, but I got stuck i'll try again today.

No value whatsoever.

The emphasis should be on problem solving as a team, and focusing the team on pain points to get work across the finish line.

To that end i find "walking the board" far more valuable, than status updates from each memeber.
This advice is likely economically bad though. Capital now is better than capital later. I would think money made early and saved by not having children and invested will end up being much more then what will be spent on a fertility clinic later.
