Yes I prefer that for everyone (not just me), including people in government, so that I don't have to worry about hiding the information. Hiding the information has its associated cost.

Transparency for everyone to level the playing field.

Sure its your business to be private but as times goes and as technology advances it going to be more difficult and expensive.
> Totally ignorant perspective with perhaps no basis: Seems like Roblox must be successful despite its games, not because.

As a parent with two kids who play Roblox a lot (and have played some myself), the quality varies widely but there are many good games. Part of the fun is talking with friends and watching YouTube to find the best ones.
Odd title. The gist (possibly incorrect since I know diddly/squat about ML or steganography) seems to be that if you use ML tools to obscure sensitive photo information, those same tools could use steganographic techniques to conceal for later exposure the information it originally obscured.

So, yes, malicious security tools can behave maliciously. Film at 11.
I like his argument. Its pretty reasonable in its principles.

But it doesn't work in this situation. Hertz raised 10^7 dollars this way when they were 10^9 in the hole. Looks to me like the executives saw an opportunity to part some people from their money and took it.

An outside investor is sharing shares they already have, or short-selling shares with the promise to buy them back later. That's wildly different from issuing new shares when you have inside information which prices them at zero.

I think this comment undervalues the quality of engineering that Evan has put into esbuild. It’s not only quick because it’s written in golang, but also due to the decisions taken in architecture and an opinionated tool that does mainly one thing well.
It's a qualitative word for a qualitative assessment.

For example, it is quite possible that code that is nested 30 levels deep is provably correct. Since we are humans, is that likely? No, it is not. Or at least, it is certainly less likely than 3-level-deep code. So you look at some code and without doing any deep analysis you can make some "probably valid" assumptions which come from your experience.

If you're so bent on accurate engineering, answer me this: Why are technology choices often "fashion-driven", without any significant empirical data to support their choice over other alternatives? (My latest pet peeve in this space is widespread use of Docker.) And where data DOES exist (such as to support the statement "Functional languages produce far fewer bugs per LOC written"), why don't more programmers/engineers heed that?
Yes. Information absolutely can be used against you. Imagine if you perhaps decide to smoke... now the bank (and others). know this behavior and can calculate it into your overall credit score / health care score / behavior score.

You could use lots and lots of examples where market forces and banks could influence human behavior through this method. There is freedom and power in using cash.

I remember, years ago, installing the amazon app on my phone.

People have different tastes. Just because something is old or handmade, that doesn't make it desirable.

Plus, 140 year old furniture takes specialized maintenance if you want them to last. It's kind of expensive to properly maintain or refinish antique furniture. Chairs, especially, need proper maintenance, they experience much more wear than something like a chest, and an improper fix can destroy it.

It's why I like online dating. The women there have declared, "I am interested in finding somebody." It's not like making a pass at your coworker, fellow club member, or random person on the street.

Men are still pretty cloddy, and there's a lot more to learn. But in general it's a lot safer to go online than to try to discern whether you're misreading "signals". "Being on Tinder" is about the clearest signal you can get.

Now just don't mess it up. Hoo, boy, do the men mess it up. I swear I've given serious consideration to opening a consultancy in helping men talk to women online. Not that the women are universally all that great, either, but I cannot tell you how many men I've watched talk themselves out of getting laid.

Slack and other ill-optimized Electron apps are not great, but Flash was far worse, at least in my experience. With Flash a single banner ad in some tab you forgot you had open could consume half or more of your G4/G5/C2D, whipping your fans into a frenzy and roasting your lap (if using a laptop). Slack, etc are a detriment in terms of heat and battery life too, but not to such an extreme extent and at least you're getting a reasonably functional app in exchange.

That's a shame. It's kind of a fascinating art that I think is very similar to chess, in that you have to be thinking a dozen moves ahead. I took a series of classes that exposed me to the basics, so I understand the tools and techniques that they are using and some of the why, but I still have trouble seeing the end result and explaining the why of any particular step.

I think all of these shows suffer from this same problem. It shows people performing their art in a very superficial way. I would absolutely watch a show where after each episode each of the contestants made a 15 minute YouTube video walking through their video segments explaining what they were doing and why in deep detail.

I don't agree with any information tracking, but should note that this type of collection, e.g., of shopping data, doesn't exactly mean the information will be leaked or used for nefarious purposes, etc. And, for many, they do share with the world what they're buying/many parts of their daily lives, just not by pushing a commit or updated a webpage; e.g., Twitter, Instagram, Snap.
Right, and I mean there's no way to discover that hotkey if you don't already know it, which is why requiring it for a common UI function is bad design.
I will occasionally spend time picking up litter when I go on walks. The waste I find, in order of volume, is primarily:
1) Food packaging
2) Automobile detritus
3) Construction material

2 is because parts fall off of people's cars. 3 is because construction material will fall out of the pickup truck beds that are used by construction workers.

But the food packaging waste is dropped by people. If we accept the UX principle that it's easier to change the system than human behavior, then the best way to reduce the volume of litter would be to reduce food packaging waste. For example, if fast food, like McDonalds, were packaged in rapidly bio-degradable and low-pollutant things, like simple, un-dyed paper wrappings, then the amount of waste in the environment would be greatly reduced.
This is my first submission to HN, though I've been reading for years. Please be kind, and I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts.

Nothing has happened in US-Iran relations in the past two years to suggest anything in this article has changed substantially:

https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/15/apple-blocks-app-store-in...

If your app is using any payment processor that's not Apple within the App Store that app is not in compliance with Apple's own App Store policies. Epic Games would be very interested to learn this is happening. If you're using self-signed certificates or an "Iranian App Store" to install things you are also operating outside the bounds of App Store policy.

You're using Apple services in a region that is not officially supported by Apple. I don't understand how you think security and privacy protections are going to be in place when using smuggled hardware that's intentionally compromised and taking active measures to circumvent what protections Apple has, either by jailbreaking or rerouting requests to Apple to some other mirror.

>This segues nicely into your third and final theme: American greatness. Today the Silicon Valley elite is obscenely rich; with a wealth tax in place, it will become merely extremely rich. This fear will undergird all your work as a VC intellectual. You won’t admit this, of course; instead, you’ll sell yourself as singularly obsessed with maintaining American hegemony in business and technology. The challenge for America, you will argue, is to beat China. And the sternest cautionary tale for an America on the precipice of Sandersism is France: a living hell of high-speed trains, immaculate town centers, public health care, excellent higher education, five-week paid vacations, progressive taxation, and abundant, low-cost cheese. All of which sounds pretty good until you consider that up to a few years ago, the French had failed to produce a single startup unicorn this century—the result of a (thankfully now-abolished) wealth tax and decades of addiction to bureaucracy that have left the country’s business culture as clogged and unimaginative as the pores of its inhabitants are enragingly clear. What’s the point of taking long vacations if your society doesn’t have a retail economy built on Groupon vouchers? The French have developed no good answer to this question, but America must continue to ask it.

Apart from the clean towncenter part this paragraph is perfect
It is a moral crusade to try to get people to understand risk. I can go all in on TSLA call options and make a killing and think I understand how markets work, but the risk I’m taking on by doing that is ridiculous. I’d like to know how those 30 year experience retirement planners did in 01 or 08. Bubbles happen because investors become comfortable taking huge risks that are unlikely to happen, but when they do they get crushed. Picking up pennies on front of a steamroller.
>Generally a super lazy worker does eventually get fired by the boss

I can recall so many counter examples. Relatives, drinking buddies, snitches, people whom the boss was somewhat in awe of because they saw them as "rock stars", people for whom firing would have reflected badly on the boss, people who were good at pulling the wool over his eyes.

Generally the people I've seen fired were for insubordination not laziness - often they worked much harder than other workers.
This isn't true. Most pallets are heat treated now and can be distinguished by "HT" on the side.

Zero shareholder value was the overwhelmingly likely outcome, but not completely certain. (If Hertz magically recovered from bankruptcy, however unlikely, the payoff might have been >1000%).

The prospectus clearly stated that there was negligible likelihood of return.

On the flip side, from the creditor's perspective: "We loaned you a bunch of money, you can't pay it back, and there are some people who would like to buy shares in your company today? How can you not sell it to them?"

The unsecured creditors in this situation don't appear to be investment banks, they appear to be auto repair companies, perhaps exposed to counterparty risks from transacting with Hertz[1].

Your question brings to mind part of an exchange from one of my favorite pieces of financial cinema [2]:

Reusable containers means that the container wasn't necessarily filled by Coca Cola. It could have been the street-vendor refilling glasses.

That's the thing. A disposable container guarantees that the bottle came from Coca Cola.

---------------

> I get my milk in reusable glass bottles.

But you don't get your reusable milk from a street vendor. You trust your deliveryman, you trust the company they work for. You have a working relationship with them. (Or maybe you pick it up from a grocery store that you trust).

I'm talking about a street vendor: someone you have absolutely no relationship with. How do you know that you can trust the street vendor?

A sealed disposable bottle offers guarantees that reusable containers do not. That's simply a fact.
Will think about reorganising it, thanks!
I agree here. I think a big part of the problem, even in big companies, is that those roles blur too much.

In particular, it is frequently the case where a product lead says something like “we need a way to...” and leaves the implementation open to discussion to all.

This often leads to a programmer, who is more deeply concerned with how that function will operate on the data, coming up with a “how about a button that...” and/or just implementing the button as a suggestion.

And then the UX architect and product lead, knowing that they don’t want to piss off this coder for fear of future pushback on their ideas, just caves and says “fine”.

That’s the most common scenario I’ve seen at larger companies. That, and having woefully inexperienced UX and UI designers in the first place.
I guess it was a mere rhetorical artifice to mean "if not useless, of very scarse added value".

This is kind of the core principle of capitalism, informed consent. Also the primary objective of the SEC.

This could be the local market in which you operate or the timing when you advertised the position.

College hiring is cyclical and the earlier you get to campus, the better. If you re-advertise the same position, especially after you interviewed a few fresh grads from the same university (who will talk to one another) and flunked them all, it's not surprising nobody bothered to apply.

Also, keep in mind that it's not uncommon for college students to be offered full time position during their last internship (so 1+ year before they graduate). So by the time you try to hire new grads, some of the best are effectively already out of your local market.

>Java or single operating system applications were the alternative.

Not really - you could write cross-platform GUI applications from a single code base in 1996 if you wanted to without using Java. It was unpleasant, but it was absolutely possible.

>Where would we be today if you couldn't swap between Mac and Windows laptops -- or worse, had to have both -- because you depended on applications that had no common operating system?

Those days are still here, depending on the application.

>The reason we can use linux as a desktop is because of web applications.

I wouldn't say that's the reason. Certainly a reason, but not the definitive one.

There are still cross-platform applications from a single code base. This is actually easier due to better cross-platform toolkits that were developed and would have continued development even if webapps hadn't become a thing.

>Even today, it's a giant pain to write cross-platform apps in anything but C or C++

Python and Java are relatively painless in this regard.

>It turns out that nobody is willing to put in the effort when we already have web applications.

Web applications certainly do have the advantage from a monetization, time to market, and network effect standpoint, no doubt.
