Hypothetical extortion and anti-competitive practices. As plenty in this topic pointed out, it was repealed and nobody really noticed. The arguments for it basically boil down to "ISPs are bad and this will hurt them."

It's a completely absurd argument. The government is taking someone to the dance. The dance is the consumer losing rights and power on the most important communication medium ever. And people on the internet are really, really passionate about how the government should take Google and not Comcast. How terrible it would be if Comcast went to the dance!

I generally agree with speeders getting tickets. But a camera system that gives everyone a ticket every time they speed is a different thing. Automating government power is something you do carefully and only with very good reason. And yes, I would call something like that a speeding kill switch, an over-application of ordinary powers the government already has through automation.

I think the misunderstanding is that the HN sentiment is very tangential to how real average users experience websites. Here everyone uses Adblock and NoScript, whereas most users have neither installed. So HN is more like a cult, whereas the real world is much larger and not like a cult?
The main problem here isn’t that apps/services don’t follow the guidelines per-se but that more and more software is designed not to solve a particular problem efficiently and get paid honest money for that effort but to waste as much of the user’s time as possible showing them “offers”. The industry calls this “engagement” and a large chunk of people’s salaries and careers (including mine at the beginning) is based on that.
My dad was working for a big oil company. He once told me a pretty funny story. The company had just switched CEOs, and the new CEO was walking around the office around 7:30pm, knocked on my dad's door and asked him "sir, are you bad at your job ?" My dad was surprised because he thought he had a reputation of being pretty good at it. The new CEO then asked him "so if you're good at your job, why are you still in the office at 7:30pm ?". The ideo being that someone good could finish his workload soon enough to be back home with his family by 7:30. That contrasted so much with the "stay at work as long as you can to show you're working hard" culture so many companies have.
> A skill is something that can be learned, your looks are something that you are born with.

As I said, any skill has a component of talent and acquisition.

Most men can train their entire lives and will never have the skill at chess José Capablanca had when he was six, simply from watching others play the game. — every world chess champion that ever lived was born with talent of the game most others can only dream of.

> But you can't learn to uncrook your nose just like you can't remove your acne scars trough learning or straighten out your ears. These things don't require learning a skill, they require surgical procedures you most likely can't perform on yourself even if you had the skills to do so.

Just as an average man cannot ever reach the level that chess grandmasters had when they were 8 years old, even if he trained for his entire life.

One reason is that underlines are quite distracting when you have so many of them. Even Wikipedia avoids underlines for better readability.
I was stationed in Germany while in the Army and always wondered how Europeans manage to make ends meet. Compared to the US, prices are higher (since adopting the Euro, at least), taxes are higher, but salaries are lower.

US troops are given a cost of living allowance (COLA) while stationed in Germany. It is (or was while I was there) tied to the USD/Euro exchange rate. Even so, we always tried to avoid shopping "on the local economy" and stick to base facilities for groceries and such as much as possible.

Another important aspect was the social networks of the time.

We had computer clubs in many cities. Clubs had their zines.
These were focal points for meeting other would-be sceners.

The demo scene was organised in groups with members spread around the country, so we would go to some of the many “copy parties” in the weekends to meet and show off coding skills or music or puzzle over reverse engineering games.

The dense European geography and good public transport was a big factor, too. Without a car and not old enough for a license, I remember taking the bus to Viborg to hang out with people from their big computer club for the weekends, some of whom had published games commercially. This was a great inspiration, too.

The stimulus checks could have come from taxing the wealthy, they did not. They came in the form of money printing which will eventually result in inflation, and will disproportionately effect the less well off who hold their money in cash and do not know how to protect their wealth from said inflation.

> Much of my goal there is to present the Shakespeare that would have appealed to me at the time.

I think there's something to this idea. I remember we first read the apology in translation sometime in early highschool. everyone thought it was boring af and no one cared. totally different when we read it later in my ancient greek class. the teacher really knew how to play to her audience, and at every bit of (mostly untranslatable) wordplay she would stop to point out how socrates was roasting his interlocutors. to be fair, it's a certain kind of student that self-selects into highschool ancient greek, but the class definitely got a lot more out of it that time around. you might not like to teach the apology as "the story of socrates the chad", but you gotta meet your audience where they are.
Preventing a single individual from manipulating trading activity is a basic control for a trading platform. It's a failure of the company regardless of whether the employee acted alone or not.
The aim of my comment is not to support ECT per se, more point out this article is not a balanced view. My reasoning is an appeal to authority of those who have reviewed the evidence (see UK NICE guidelines). If homeopathy had an evidence base and mainstream acceptance then I would see it as a medical intervention worth considering. If you find evidence base and expert opinion unconvincing, then I don’t think you would support many medical treatments, especially in areas such as psychiatry where the pathology is poorly understood.

I highly doubt that. Those people are unmarried (probably not even dating), have very few friends outside of work, and definitely not any kids. That’s literally the only time in their life they can work like that without “fuzzing out”

Later in life priorities change for good reasons.
The Apple TV example looks a bit disingenuous, the huge black space normally holds an image promoting one of the shows. That’s why it has so much space. I don’t know why in his situation the header is empty but that has nothing to do with layout on small screens. You could complain the promotional image is too large but it’s really obvious you can scroll down to reveal the rest of the content and I don’t think anyone is contesting the conclusion that yes, a small screen fits less content without scrolling.

The Apple Shortcuts (which by the way is an acquired app that was not originally designed by Apple) problem indeed is a bug in the way the sheet works, probably because of the custom keyboard like icon picker at the bottom, which is really poorly designed anyway. If you have an iOS device, here’s a riddle:

If your device has a larger screen than the one in the article and you try to recreate it (on ‘My shortcuts’ navigate back, then tap the add folder button), you can choose from a larger set of icons. Someone with an even larger device than yours would see a palette with even more icons. But on your device you can get to these icons as well, try to find out how!
I didn’t test this but won’t the focus-within trick work for click menus too? The user clicks the button (which must be a child of the container) so focus moves within the container and hence the submenu can show.

"any time a black person murders a white person, the media also digs deep to see if this shows a larger problem"

This is not true.

Black-on-White and more so Black-on-Black crime is very common, and nobody ever bothers to put that in context.

If they did that, we'd see it on the news every day.

In fact - on the local news, you do see faces of 'criminals' presented, and they are very unfortunately disproportionately African American, but they don't really contextualize it, you just see a stream of faces.

It's just not true to suggest that the intersectional narrative being pushed has an 'opposite side' that operates in the same manner.

The 'opposite' to the intersectional narrative is more or less 'Race is not a factor' - or perhaps 'Race is never a factor' which isn't necessarily positive because that's not the case clearly.

In reality - the attempt to cherry pick every event of possible racial characterization into a narrative is a 'fundamental flaw' of 'one side' of the narrative today.

The challenge for people wanting to demonstrate racism - is that you need 'examples' and so they make them.

If the press ever actually did start to look at real facts of incarceration, conviction, crimes by race - it would be a very hard discussion for them, because it would be entirely out of narrative for everyone's 'side'. It would be nice to have a source of news that did that.

That very first sentence is very misleading. Malthus was not wrong - he was right given the set of assumptions made at the time. There is a difference.
I'm curious if even Apple follow the guidelines. It has been way too long since I read them, but I remember the minimum button size being quite large. A while ago, the pull up menu (with camera/light/volume/airplane mode/etc) was redesigned. As part of that the play/pause/skip buttons became so small that my iPhone SE frequently does something other than my intention.

However, in the click-configuration top menu items are buttons. Which are legitimate control elements, as well. The author also makes this distinction (a link navigates, a button controls) quite clear. As for menus, these have been around for longer than the web itself. (In the beginning, these were just an alternative way to display an array of related buttons, compare the Xerox Star.)

Regarding the ellipsis, while it's true and recommended for menu items, this is not applicable to menu bars (or similar horizontally stacked items, like a bar of tab-options – mind that these are in principle just an array of buttons, as well).
You're right and I'm (to a point) aware that my values are a weird pastiche of an imagined working class. Before I turned 25 all I did was while away the day peacefully, now I don't feel ok if I'm not productive in some very immediate way like painting a door. I won't pretend that's not silly.

What I hope to convey is that luxury is a trap if you're not already independently wealthy. And if you are financially free, you can still be sucked back into wage-slavery by wanting too much stuff. And even if you transcend that level of wealth, you can still find more fulfilment by spending your money on things that improve someone else's situation. Stop being fleeced by people exploiting your psychology for their enrichment.

iPhone 7 and up are still going to support iOS 15, so these devices will be with us for a while.
Soviet propaganda was (and is) directed by the government.

US news is not directed by government, for the most part.

It's a confluence of capitalism, opinion, ratings, populism, intellectual movements, petty fighting and opinions.

It has the feel of propaganda but for the most part it's not really that.

Possibly some treatment of COVID falls into that - during a time of crisis, the News tends to want to promote ideals of 'Public Communications' (i.e. wear a mask) instead of hard news.

There is widespread concern over populist reaction to the pausing of the AZ vaccination. Purely on a scientific basis, there is merit, but the Communications side of the Health is up in arms because they believe it will lead to people being needlessly afraid and will affect health outcomes etc..

Yup, yup. We in the USA have plenty of room and plenty of money, and we are a very generous and giving people overall, but we also often display a vindictive attitude toward our poor. We act like they are getting away with something when they live in tents and defecate on the sidewalk.

Millions of people are unhappy at their jobs. If one could just "drop out", stop working, and be provided a decent home, enough food, and medical care some percentage of those unhappy workers would do it. People with homes and jobs actually resent homeless people, which, if you think about it, is a really weird reaction to have, eh?

I'm a Bucky Fuller fan since childhood, so I've talked to a lot of people about using technology to set up a kind of utopia (economic, not political) where everyone's basic needs are met, and often folks ask, "But who would pick up the garbage?"

There's a lot to unpack there. But the underlying assumption is clear: without the threat of destitution and vagrancy no one would do the unpopular or unpleasant jobs.

I could go on, I could cite Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents"[0], or talk about the Indian Wars et. al. and the tension between the New World and Old World cultures, the stigma attached to "going native", and the hideous efforts to remake indigenous people in the image of the colonist. Or we could talk about how mainstream culture tends to revile the "hippy", the "dropout" who just wants to be at peace and live in harmony with Nature.

Long story, really, but yeah, the bottom line is that we have the technology to make a kind of secular economic utopia nearly overnight, and our problems now are mostly psychological or social.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_and_Its_Disconten...

> Freud enumerates what he sees as the fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual. The primary friction, he asserts, stems from the individual's quest for instinctive freedom and civilization's contrary demand for conformity and repression of instincts.
People will continue to write books professionally and this will encourage more. Most of these books are written not to make a profit but to enrich a profile / a personal brand. This brings in a wider audience and perhaps a bigger following / rep.
There’s a point there but it is a difficult balancing act. Some of the largest third party apps, like Google Maps, feature the Google Material Design that is alien on iOS. There is no way to force Google to use an iOS design. Would it be a smart move from Apple to ban Google Maps from the iPhone?
Is there any reason to believe that “debt forgiveness in general is a terrible precedent to set”?

The major example of debt forgiveness I can think of is bankruptcy and as far as I am aware American bankruptcy laws are considered excellent precisely because of the forgiveness.

But setting aside the general case, forgiveness for massive widespread known fraud is probably the easiest example of a case where it can be achieved successfully.

Show HN: Alkymi – Data/Task Automation in Python
Hi HN!
My Corona project has finally come far enough for me to show it to the world :)

alkymi is a pure Python (3.5+) library for describing and executing tasks and pipelines with built-in caching and conditional evaluation based on checksums.

I started writing alkymi because I was tired of using Make or similar tools to automate testing/validation of algorithms (data -> algorithm -> report). I've found that although most of my data preparation code, as well as the report generation code, is written in Python, I end up having to wrap all the Python code as CLI scripts to interface with Make. This breaks testing, type checking and generally just makes it really easy to make mistakes (no IDE autocomplete!).

You can view the docs at https://alkymi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. The docs also contain examples, such as https://alkymi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/mnist.html.

I really hope you find the project interesting, and am looking forward to feedback and (hopefully!) having someone else give it a try.

Happy Nowruz to all. Here are the first few lines of a well-known spring poem by Fereydoon Moshiri (d. 2000):

باز کن پنجره ها را که نسیم

روز میلاد اقاقی ها را

جشن می گیرد

و بهار

روی هر شاخه کنار هر برگ

شمع روشن کرده است

"Open the windows, for the breeze

is celebrating the birthday

of the acacias;

And spring,

on every branch, beside every leaf,

has lit a candle."
