> A dig at fathers in the first paragraph

The writers are African-American women. Working has been a feature of most African-American women's lives for the entirety of America. It's not a dig at the fathers, who have historically also been working. The traditional African-American family has typically had two workers. (The "double-shift" is working for someone else, then coming home and doing homemaking. Commonly, the father would be working a second job during the evening hours.)

I think reading this as an attack on the traditional American family is making a lot of assumptions about which families are considered "traditional."
It's a fairly arbitrarily number sure, but I think it could be representative. During the working week I listen to music almost all the working day, when I as commuting that adds on another couple of hours.

Even if it's 2 hours a day it would still represent an increase in costs.

Another poster put it better: for $9.99 per month you would be able to pay for 999 streams, I am sure a typical user can easily exceed 999 streams in a month.

> at best, clear code tells you what it does.

This depends a lot on what you mean by "clear" code! You can write higher-level code with abstractions that emphasize the what rather than the how and you can write code that explicitly captures important additional information like invariants. Personally, I've found aiming for that works better than writing code where the "how" is clear at the expense of the "what" so that readers don't lose the forest for the trees.

I am not sure I'm explaining the difference well—it would benefit from examples that I am too tired to provide right now—and documentation is still useful even with higher-level code, but my point is that code absolutely can and should clearly reflect many of the things you would also cover in documentation.

Technically, what's going on here?

"CAID" isn't a public iOS technology, and the article doesn't say what it means.

Some googling returns: https://mmachina.cn/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/MMA%E4%B8%AD%...

Apparently it means "CAA Advertising Id", where "CAA" appears to be the "Creative Artists Agency", some sort of Chinese advertising group. (edit: wrong organization, it's actually "Chinese Anonymization ID", not a group. the group behind it is https://trackingio.com/)

Searching "CAA Advertising Id" yields more Chinese PDFs.

From what I can tell here, "CAID" is a partnership between Chinese industry and Chinese government to track users across apps for better tracking.

The issue here does not seem to be that they've bypassed a technical restriction, but that the developers of major apps are using a shared identifier that Apple doesn't like.

In the US, the analogy would be if apps had tracking SDKs in them, that fingerprinted users across apps, in order to better target them for advertisements, and then the US government can pick up that data and do whatever they'd like with it.

The strange part to me, is that this actually is the situation today in the US.

I don't want to shill for China, but why is this a story? This has been a US industry since at least Doubleclick was invented.

edit:

It's a story because they're using the iOS keychain API to persist and share the tracking identifier. As far as I know, this is a new technique in the wild, but has been theoretically possible since iOS launched. It's only now being seen as necessary because of the iOS14 privacy changes.

It's curious that American ad companies seem to understand Apple's intent and are opting not to risk their business by expanding their SDKs to use keychain sharing techniques, even though they're surely aware you can do this. Chinese ad companies seem ok with risking their clients apps being banned on the app store.

Apple can mitigate this by giving users control of the data and sharing related to keychain services.
Sure. They're more difficult to cross-compile though.
TypeScript vs. JavaScript. What would a project manager prefer?
Hey guys! I am a very much technical guy with 18 years background as a PM.

And yes, I did google this question. But I want more insights.

For the new project we are into, we are about to choose whether to go with TS or stick to the old and confy JS.

Interested to hear your points of view and advice for me - the PM. Does it make any difference for me? What should I expect from devs if we go with either of techs?

Thanks.

There are a lot of things that weren't considered offensive on the Internet 10 or 20 years ago, that are now offensive.

It shouldn't take more than a brief amount of thought to realize what imagery trading humans conjures up, and what happens next in terms of outrage and scandal and what will inevitably plague the service accordingly. Hint: will the trading all be perfectly fair? Without bigotry, without bias, without racism, without any accusations, and so on. Of course not, so it's obvious what will happen.
> energy gains are in the ballpark of 1000 miles / year

That's not a small amount. The US DoT puts average US driving at around 13,500 miles/year. In Germany (Sono Motor's home market) it's 8,000.

So we're talking meeting nearly 7.5% of US, and 12.5% of German, average driving needs. Just from sticking a solar panel on the roof of a vehicle.
De-DRM for Kobo works great. It's basically the same as Kindle, there is just another plugin or two to install. Books are usually a bit more expensive. However, it looks like Walmart actually owns Rakuten now, so it's not like you're helping out the little guy much.
Absolutely some people earn money based on selling rights to shows. But there's also profitable theatres that just do remounts, where copyright represents a cost, not a revenue source.

Another thing to note that cutting edge languages do not always deliver great features , they also deliver with great frequency half baked features to be discarded or deprecated in few years. Also since most effort spent on language , tooling remain primitive and slow for long time.

It's telling that when shown overwhelmingly that private-sector unions in America are hopelessly broken and corrupt that the only solution the pro-union folks have for the problem is "more unionization".

I've been in three different unions and would never "join" one again [my participation was mandatory for the job in each case] and would change careers if my field unionized significantly.

I remember a local news story once where a baker at a local grocery store was caught on film urinating in the cake batter for the store's cakes. His termination was fought, successfully, by the union for violating rules they'd negotiated around filming. That's not a win for anyone.

Even this comment, while short, is much better! "doesn't have context" is, ironically, kind of context-free. What context did you want? Given what you just said, the answer is apparently "benchmarks." You don't even need to make your comment all that much longer to be much, much better (imho, I'm not dang, I don't own this place, heh)

into something like

> Without benchmarks, I'm willing to bet rust isn't actually faster than C.

Now that I write that out, it's even shorter! But it's way better. You've made a specific criticism of the article, rather than making a very abstract one.

I'd still say that something this short isn't likely to be upvoted, but it isn't likely to be downvoted like you were. Compare your comment to this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26446830

While it does start with some "I like Rust," imho that wasn't even necessary. It's also more aggressive than you were, but even got some replies. Even though it contained the same sentiment.

Seems like the artists are barking at the wrong tree. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for artists getting their fair share for something they created.

Spotify has to deal with the record labels because they own the licensing rights, there isn't much Spotify can do about it themselves.

The only thing I could see Spotify doing is to become a label themselves, and giving a bigger slice of the piedirectly to artists under them. But that could also bring some consequences, like becoming Spotify-exclusives, etc.

My biggest issue with FIDO is that it is tied to a hardware device. So if I ever lose it it is a huge pain. So you need at least 2 (so only one can be your laptop with fingerprint or face recognition) and if you even get another one you need to remember every single service that you used 2fa for and enroll it in each of them.

"Email is hardly better than SMS" is an absurd claim. As has been written SMS is not secure, easily hijacked, and potentially transmitted in the clear.

By contrast email can be made arbitrarily secure nowadays via e.g. DANE/STS-MTA, and it's entirely up to an email provider how secure mailbox access is.

Saying that "email is hardly better than SMS" when the former can be secured via DNSSEC/DANE and where the mailbox can only be accessed by me over an SSH tunnel is truly laughable. In fact since sites which demand phone numbers seem to have some completely baseless idea that the phone number is somehow more "secure" than email, often adding a phone number will enable phone number-based recovery methods which therefore actually reduce account security.

I believe the trading feature helps to prevent manipulation. The investments you make in others counts towards the TRU Score for you and the other person. So, if you make "bad" investments in others, it will only serve to reduce your TRU Score. Of course, some people might be willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others. But, that should be easy to identify.

Example: If a high-reputation person vouches for someone, does it have more meaning compared to the endorsement from a person with no/low reputation?

Which is why the TRU Score is more than just the share price and your investments. It also includes other platform activities [Ex. member reviews, review scores, number of investors, etc.]. Not claiming we have solved this problem. But, we think it is a step in the right direction.

By saying "we shouldn't damage the situation further," you're assuming that the harm of allowing the substance is worse than the harm of prohibiting it. With alcohol, we experimented and found that the harm of prohibiting it was worse than the harm of allowing it.

Therefore it's reasonable hypothesis that by outlawing a less harmful substance, we're causing more harm right now than we'd cause by allowing it. We don't know that for sure until we try the experiment, but it seems like a rational thing to try.
The writing on the wall has been clear for years. Apple and every other tech company that cares at all about privacy (should be any tech company) needs to get the heck out of China... We desperately need supply chain diversity.
I'm kinda hoping that there will be legislation or standardization for battery packs. As it stands, when that battery pack is end-of-life, the whole car will be scrapped because it's not financially viable to have a new one installed.

But if it's standardized, if it's EOL the battery pack can be replaced with either a new, better battery (e.g. solid state) or a refurbished / secondhand battery. And the EOL battery pack handed in for refurbishment, which hopefully significantly reduces cost.

Then again, I'm reading that the average car is scrapped after about 14 years. Might be high-end Model S-es may live longer, but if we get more cheap EVs, refurbishing the battery won't be viable no matter how cheap they make it.

> We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work

That’s not a stab at fathers. It’s a stab at the societal norms that force single mothers to work double shifts just to support their family. They are purporting that this is due to the fact that our society is patriarchal (run by men - which it is). Whether they’re right or wrong it’s not a dig at traditional dads.

They’re attacking the societal norms that a straight cis mom and straight cis dad are the only foundational units for a legitimate family.

I developed permanent neuropathy and muscle problems in my lower legs after a course of Levaquin for a respiratory infection. Constant fasciculations, cramping, and pain.

It sounds like you've done your research on potential treatments, however in case you're unaware, I've found considerable relief by soaking my lower legs daily in an Epsom salt bath. I can attest to the fact that magnesium sulfate is without question topically permeable. It may be something for your wife to consider, to see if it helps her.

Frankly, at this point it's pretty clear that the entire healthcare system in the US is parasitical: doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and pharma companies. Their purpose is to extract value, not restore health.

I have a very low opinion of doctors, who are by and large arrogant and of middling intelligence, a dangerous combination when a person's health is at stake.

It's a Motte and Bailey, by design (which I seem to end up pointing out a lot on HN, apology for the repetition but it's a common and important pattern).

The core BLM organization are subversive Marxists. Their tenants are extremely un-American and probably not shared by most of the people marching under their banner. When you point this out, they can retreat from the Marxist Bailey to the racial equality Motte and attempt to shut down criticism.

This pattern of equivocating between subversive ideas and basic liberal tenants is extremely damaging for the liberals accidentally aligning themselves with extremists, but this smokescreen tactic has existed longer than most any HN posters have been alive. This is the proverbial "Useful Innocents" (and its more pejorative alternative).

The western world can't. The world is only so big and the remaining sites of refuge for cheap, exploitable labor and Potemkin regulatory regimes are few. Almost any alternative place you might cite is either already beholden to China (the viable parts of Africa) or too unstable (due to endemic corruption, external threats, etc.) to risk.
