> I still think that 3.5" is the best smartphone size

There were two phones I owned which I loved from every possible perspective: an Ericsson T29s[^1], and the HTC Desire[^2]. This latter had a 3.7" screen, physical buttons, and an optical tracball, and it was glorious as a phone. Oh, and it actually fit in a hand, or a pocket.

Everything else I had since then - Nexus 4, Galaxy S4, Nomu S10, Moto E5 - are all way too big, but nobody seems to be doing any decent phones ~4" any more, which is a shame.

Current "phones" used to be called phablets in 2012.

Here in the US you can hire a broker to negotiate with a car dealer for you. This is because car negotiations are tedious, uncomfortable, and full of pitfalls and the broker is an expert who can handle it the best possible way (for a fee).

This is probably the same sort of thing, an expert quitter can turn in your resignation and wont won’t be enticed/coerced to take it back
I prefer Google Workspace to M365, in that the technology still works better. Outlook search doesn't work. Word isn't good for collaborative editing. Etc.

I would never, ever, ever run a business on Google Workspace, because of a long history of Google treating customers like statistics, and Microsoft treating customers like partners. Microsoft's relationship with customers has been a slightly abusive partnership at time, but a relationship still beats being a statistic.

If my business fails due to Google Workspace, Google doesn't care. Workspace changes terms, discontinues things, and breaks things arbitrarily and capriciously, offloading costs and risk onto me. If my business fails due to a M365 issue, Microsoft treats it as a failure. They try to provide migration strategies, support promises to customers, etc.

When I was 15, I went for the glitziest technology. Having seen a few businesses through, I look less at the tech side and more at the business and human side. I don't believe Google will ever achieve trust there.
two things come to my mind, as a non-expert in AI/ML etc:

1. deep fake people will be super-happy

2. cops will be super happy too.

> A higher education degree doesn’t increase earnings for most people once you factor in the costs

The average tuition & fees for public, in-state college in 2021 is $9687 [0]. Adding room & board increase it to 20,050 [1]. So you could, theoretically, get a 4-year degree at a decent school for under $100,000.

Considering that a 4-year degree increases earnings, on average, from $38,376/year to $59,124/year (and also decrease unemployment from 5% to 2.4%), that's $20,748 per year increase. Over a 40-year career, that's $829,920 extra assuming no raises.

All of these figures can be adjusted for margins of error and you'll still be ahead with a 4-year degree.

What specific posts did Parler refuse to delete, and what is the evidence that they refused to delete them? IIRC, Parler was deleting posts that AWS complained about as they reviewed them, but had a large backlog, and AWS decided they were moving too slowly. I haven't seen any sourced claims that Parler refused to remove "posts calling for the mass killing of politicians", only unsupported allegations. If it really is so very clear-cut, do you have a very good source for those claims?

Not really. I mean you want to cook it differently and slightly less if you're going to finish it in the sauce but that's a different thing.

Al dente is specifically undercooking it a bit because you prefer that texture over the fully cooked texture. If you pull it a little early then let it fully finish in the sauce it's not what I would consider al dente.
Could just be me, but the Discord app is full of glitches and random pauses for me. The app is better on my phone, but on several Linux distros the feel of the application is just off to me. Switching servers and channels has a tiny but noticeable delay that I haven't seen native applications have.

Unfortunately, there aren't many native applications any more. At this point I'd prefer a Windows application that works in Wine over yet another "cross-platform" Electron webbrowser-with-builtin-website.

Sorry for the title, but the linked page’s own title wasn’t very descriptive. The short version of the problem is:

> xterm through Patch #365 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UTF-8 character sequence.

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-27135 has more information, explaining that “a specially crafted sequence of combining characters causes an out of bounds write leading to arbitrary code execution.”, and that:

> This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling UTF-8 support in XTerm configuration. An entry such as "XTerm.vt100.utf8: false" in Xresources will disable UTF-8. This can be set as a system default in /etc/X11/Xresources, or per-user in ~/.Xresources.
>
> Note that this setting can still be overridden if xterm is invoked with the "-u8" command line option, so the mitigation may not protect all use cases.

Xterm doesn’t get a lot of reports, but a CVSS 9.6 is a doozy. An attack vector might look like:

- Upload a package to PyPI or Node.js that emits specially crafted console output as part of its installer.

- Profit.

From a previous HN story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11248847) UTF-8 support is enabled by default on OpenBSD, and probably all other distros by now.
Pretty ironic that the demo is totally unusable on mobile.

Secret chat with multiple devices or with group has the key distribution problem - what's good to receive the message, if you cannot read it? When there are exactly two devices, you avoid that problem.

That's why it is not on by default and why it doesn't work for groups. Most users favor convenience over strict e2e.

I feel like some of these questions are a bit backwards. Isn't it better to give the model an arena to play within and try to make all of the options _viable_? I.E. Balance is maintained when the average of the weapons the gladiators choose to take into the arena are diverse and have less bearing on the win outcome?

This means that rather focusing on what is merely broken one is focusing on both ends, what is broken and what is useless, attempting to push both towards an average of usability.

Personally it astonishes me that groups like WOTC (who produce MTG) don't appear to be using such models given the quantity of mistakes they seem to continue to make in game design.
Technically, E2E increases the complexity of the applications and servers, but it shouldn't really affect quality of chats or messages. One area where this will be a problem is in search. Telegram claims that is can search chats faster because those are on its servers, and anecdotally, I have seen Telegram's search being better and faster than the other platforms I use or have tried (they have to search only on the local device, which then has an impact on battery life for phones and tablets).

The other bigger drawback with E2E is that the servers of those platforms don't store the chats permanently (they store it for about 30 days or so to deliver the messages to devices when they come online, depending on the platform). So syncing chat history across devices gets affected by this choice (it could still be done, but the complexity and speed of syncing grows a lot).

Wire does E2E for all chats and syncs all chats across devices. But it too doesn't sync chat history on newer linked devices. It also took the (what I consider as inferior) choice of using Electron for its desktop apps, which makes it quite sluggish.
From my understanding, working for a major company is really bound up in your social standing in Japanese society. Think of it like health insurance in the US, except everyone in the entire society will kind of think you're a bum if you don't work for one of these companies, and it will color things like your interactions with police and your ability to rent an apartment. And, I think, it's more common these days not to work for one of these companies, so it's an issue for more and more people.

That one blew me away. Another one I remember fondly is Dope by Complex[1], from 1995.

My computer at the time could barely play the the soundtrack itself in the tracker, it had so many active channels. The demo itself was a slideshow. Fortunately my friend had a 486/DX4 100MHz, so I got to watch it there.

To put this in perspective, there's no graphical acceleration involved here at all, everything pixel to be done on the CPU. And the microcontroller in the coffee maker at work is about as fast[2] as my friends 486[3].

In my experience, designers work in Figma. Then they play with and give feedback on what the mobile engineers actually built, same as the rest of us. Their critiques become backlog items and it is ultimately up to the PM which of them to prioritize and whether they are launch blockers. They may very well be fanatical about feel, but at the end of the day there is a long line of people who want mobile engineers to change things and they will not always be able to skip to the front. With visuals, on the other hand, they provide the engineers with detailed layouts and assets, so their intentions are almost always carried out precisely.
I think it will kind of happen by proxy as European Union members are slowly turning into administrative regions rather than remaining as proper countries.

Yes, if I remember correctly, any n-ary number system is equivalent and you can translate any proof between them. It's just easier to work in one or another system.

I think that `noalias` would enforce that `s1` and `s2` aren't equal, but that doesn't mean that `s2` doesn't partially overlap with `s1` (i.e. it starts at an offset of `s1`).

> How did you develop your listening skill?

This is a good question, and something I am personally probably still struggling with. I feel like the greatest progress I have made on this is focusing more on listening, and less on conversing or having answers. People generally appreciate if you take their concerns seriously, but are easily offended if you offer obvious advice that brushes their concerns aside.

> How to be more empathetic?

According to some research [1], reading literary fiction has a greatly positive impact on empathy and the capacity to process emotions. I have even heard the argument that the boom in novel production in 18th century England created a cultural shift, as the increased capacity for empathy made people more morally conscious on a variety of issues.

As I believe that giving a somewhat empirically grounded answer is very much in line with the spirit of this forum, I shall therefore suggest everyone to read more novels.

> What common failure modes do you hit in your relationships as a low empathy person?

I don't think that having low empathy has ever been a "failure mode" to me -- but regardless, I feel like I have emotionally matured in a way that I wouldn't describe myself as "low empathy" anymore. It's certainly an issue when trying to pick up girls, though. (Wouldn't it be so nice if you just knew people's intentions?)

> How do you avoid them?

The crucial thing is that when you have a conversation, you should try to be mindful of what the other person is looking for, even on an emotional and possibly unconscious level, and try to accomodate that first and foremost. This always involves some guesswork, but it is worth it to try and make an effort. As noted elsewhere in this thread, often people just want to talk for support and are not looking to solve a problem. This can cause some friction with math-sy people, who often have a strong urge to start running solutionizing when encountering an unbalanced equation.

Taking my own advice here, I also want to tell you, OP, that it's not really an issue to not be great at those things. This is by no means limited to technical people, and I actually believe that most people struggle with this sometimes: there's the marketing manager who will stop you at the water cooler and talk at you for 10 minutes about the amazing new project she's doing, with you awkwardly trying to exit the conversation; and there's the menial worker who feels awkward around "smart" people, often avoiding them altogether, as if he felt they could bite him; and so on. In the end, we're all just human, and the important thing is that we're here to learn to respect and understand each other. You seem to be on that journey, and that is the important part.

Exactly. What's e2e good for, if you give keys to the entity that does the archiving?
As far as influence on contemporary progressivist ideologies, Derrida's impact is rather minimal, likely owing to how difficult reading him is. The historian Michel Foucault is orders of magnitude more influential on American humanities departments and modern progressivist ideologies.

Most of the major American writers in the 80s, 90s, 00s, like Wendy Brown, Judith Butler, et al, are big readers of Foucault and the intense use of the word "normalize" you see amongst Left-leaning youth nowadays bears a direct lineage from Foucault as a technical term in his work.

Of course, the relationship of an author to his readers is never fidelitous, likely owning to physics, so reading Foucault, then his readers, then modern popular ideologies will always bear striking differences.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to look over the site and thanks for the feedback! Our base price for our subscription might seem cheap, but for tradespeople, whose margins might already be tight, its seen as a fair price for the quoting and invoicing features. The 9% or 11% subsidy we charge is on the quote total when the tradesperson offers 0% finance - if a customer took out a 0% loan for £1000, we would charge the tradesperson a £90 (or £110) subsidy for the finance package. If you’d like to see the demo video, here’s the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVHBFHTNS90&ab_channel=Kanda

For card processing, we actually support both debit and credit cards, though typically we process debit cards and have a subsidy charge for credit card processing, due to higher processing fees from the banks.

We do think Kanda is a big win for the small guy - we put the power in their hands to compete with the big companies in the sector, offering finance products they couldn’t otherwise offer and winning more work for it

I believe only 9% of the $1.9T stimulus is for individuals. The rest is for a multitude of projects and bailouts.

Edit: Actually, it's 9% for covid healthcare and 21% for $1400 checks to individuals, which would mean 70% goes for the projects and bailouts.
Happy to do so, here is the data I operate with:

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is supposed to provide a prioritisation of needs - physical needs take priority over self-actualisation. If the model is wrong you would see many inversions. As in people prioritising self-actualisation to shelter - live in worse situation but get a better education. Therefore the pyramid does not provide a model that can reflect reality in an accurate way and we have inversions all over the place - from students going to better universities to people climbing dangerous summits.

There is a much better model - based in neuroscience, meaning that it has physiological proof to back it up. The Grawe consistency theory (neuropsychotherapy) has a much simpler approach:

3 needs we share with the whole living entities: Orientation/Control; Pleasure Maximisation/Pain Minimisation; Attachment; and one specific to humans Self-Enhancement (my work is, among others, focused on what causes this specific need, btw)

The needs are acted out through "behavioural schemas" - either approach or avoidance behaviours.

With this basic model you can empathise much better with anyone - when they do this, do they want to get something or get away from something? Does that give them more or less control, or maybe attachment? Nothing in Maslow's model can deliver this kind of understanding.

Win-Win is related to behavioural change, that is rooted in empathy. How can you change behaviours if you don't understand them? Win-Win (Harvard model) is competing with the FBI model of behavioural change (the stairway). While the former implicitly expects us to be rather similar (playing the role of businessmen) the latter does away with ego and focuses all efforts in understanding the overt and subconscious motives of the other part, and then presents a solution that is connected to that. And it works much better in practice, mainly because is meant to work when our motives can seem incompatible - try a win-win with a hostage-taker.

Anyway, remember that all models are wrong, but some of them are more useful. Part of this journey is to practice models and see what helps you get the results you want.
By "anyone", I mean not Intel. Previously only Intel had the private key for signed microcode updates, and no one else even knew the format of microcode. Even with control of the machine you couldn't play with the microcode or know what it did. This allows read/write access for researchers.

It's deeper than secure boot kind of stuff.

>Exceptions exist of course, and some of these bets turn good purely because of luck (if you take twenty random chemicals and inject, one of them might just cure cancer; incidentally how stuff like paclitaxel & vinblastine was discovered anyway).

Vinblastine was discovered from folk tea remedies for diabetes. In animal models they saw decreased white blood cell counts.

Paclitaxel was discovered from the NCI plant screening program. The chemical was observed to be cytotoxic in screening studies.

So both of your examples have pre-clinical evidence. These were not randomly injected and developed through scientific research and the clinical trial program.
