Oh 100% they do. But hey at least they've contributed Presto back to the community!

Surely that's not true. In 2021, Facebook is largely hated by people on all sides of all political spectrums. [Remember when people thought Zuck would run for president? Lol!]

You're not blocked; you just can't reply to someone within a minute of their post past a certain nesting level.

That's what I meant. Seems like, well the feeling is that, there was this cambrian explosion of ideas that were just then possible to be materialized due to tech finally being able to, well materialize them into that cambrian explosion. Right now I cannot think of much / any tech outside of real of possibility with tech we have. Take VR as an example, which is still not there, it was there in the 90's. Crude and various approaches, but there.

Since, we had iPhone/mobile and ML recently. I cannot think of other seemingly leaps. I might be wrong, of course, since it's all based on a feeling.
It's not the subs, it the individual users that were purged the most. Some for the most grievous sin of upvoting wrongthink.
Facebook has indeed done much harm to individuals and the society as a whole. But at the same time, their tenacity to continue making money is impressive. Villiams too have some quaint evil power.
No, I'm comparing the complete disregard for user's privacy / well-being with the status quo at the time, which was "major payment portals don't even implement HTTPS."

If you want to document Facebook's ethical lapses, you could go all the way back to 2004. But it's only the past few years people started actually caring.
Agreed. If people end up surprised about what they nominally consented to, it's not informed consent. Another example of Facebook's "move fast and break people" ethos.
Wow. I really like this!

Sorry, I'm pretty tired, but I fail to see the relation to this article, how does that example apply?

I thought that was more of a case of a human's facial recognition being a special function, and we're not able to process two or more people's faces at the same time. Like, see the details in them, recognize that it's their face.

You're either looking at one person, or the other, but if you try to look at both of them at the same time, they become "blurry", unrecognizable, even though you remember all the other information about them both.

But that's not related to memory integrity and new emotions/sensations?

The author implemented /dev/printerfact. Someone else came up with printerfact. If someone said they implemented /dev/null I wouldn't think they came up with the concept of null.

Also printerfact was implemented by a high person with sed and a list of cat facts. While excellent, it's not an incredible achievement we need to defend the integrity of.

That you’d prefer they either stayed ignorant or unconcerned to what changes they made and their effect is of questionable morality.

Edit re your edit response:

It is absurd to me that deciding whether to show more or less ‘I got a new car’ posts based on the resulting behavior is some kind of sinister event. Even the author of this article struggles to articulate why this isn’t just standard A/B testing.
But do you really see both at the same time or you just switch between them really fast?

Substitute the girl using the treadmill with one of the parents. The kid with the ball still gets caught, although the treadmill could get stopped sooner.

Unless supervision means the child never gets further away from the supervising adult's arm's reach, I think the only thing you can do is fence off the treadmill to keep free range kids and pets away.
They'd have to block sites that tell you how to work around their efforts to block sites. And that's not going to happen anytime soon in the West. So it's essentially more theater.
Nice! Big Mark Rober vibes in the video, was it a major inspiration for how you put this together? :)
Huh? I’m not doing anything.

Ultimately — yes — those parents are responsible for their kid’s death here. I agree. Horrible accident.

I have had plenty of negative experiences with the many, many drugs I have done. But the most danger I have ever been in due to drugs has been being the passenger of a drunk driver. That's maybe the only real physical danger I have encountered. I have a hard time even imaging how mushrooms would lead to physical danger.

The approach I have seen is to apply the cursor you want to the entire body using JS so even if your cursor momentarily escapes the element the wanted cursor is shown. You just need to make sure to revert back to the default cursor when the users stops dragging or the window loses focus.

How are mentally ill pilots kept out of the air? My book, Can’t Be Trusted, provides one example in answer to that question.

It is a memoir about engineering, aviation, and mental health. I provide details of my upbringing and accomplishments in life to try to persuade readers that I do not have schizophrenia as claimed by the FAA. It is a book where engineering is a grand endeavor and the nerds are the heroes. It is also about aeromedicine and psychiatry. Computer scientists, engineers, physicists, and psychiatrists might be interested in such a read.

The interchanges with the aeromedical authorities and a concurring opinion written on the Yale University letterhead are printed in an appendix. One issue was the free mixing of pre- and post-DSM-III terminology without ever acknowledging the existence of the DSM. Yale defended the practice.

The details of my mental health history are covered frankly in the book. I do not claim a perfect record and some people I know feel I should not be flying. Readers can decide for themselves. I am not an emotional cripple. I am happily married with two adult children and I am a successful laser engineer with a Ph.D. from MIT.

> Currencies have to be less valuable over time, otherwise no one would ever spend the currency

The purchasing power of a currency doesn't have to change, the government manipulators could target 0% inflations just as easily as they target 2-3%.

Most modern economies are driven by debt, thats what "creates" new wealth out of thin air. The main reason we target a low, steady level of inflation is to best incentivize lending and investing in debt. If currency value is allowed to swing wildly you can't put a predictable price on future money. If currency is allowed to lose value (deflation) you are incentivized to hold onto it rather than buy up debt. Noone buying debt means noone creating money out of nothing, meaning no GDP growth unless velocity increases.
Ask HN: Margaret Thatcher Is 110% Sexy
I am thinking of providing the following advice to users during password creation:

"Use a memorable phrase as a password with a mix of uppercase letter, numbers and special characters e.g.

Margaret Thatcher is 110% SEXY.

But please do not use too many repeated characters/numbers and avoid using personal identifiable information in the password such as username, email id, real name etc.
"

Is this advice sound? What else should be included? At the backend I am using zxcvbn to check password strength.

Motivation for this advice is:

1. xkcd: https://xkcd.com/936

2. The password mentioned in the title was, as an example, suggested by Edward Snowden on Last Week Tonight show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzGzB-yYKcc
> If you want to make a complex web app today, that's easier than it was 20 years ago. The tools are infinitely better.

That’s true if the web app is a SPA and uses React and doesn’t require much accessibility and uses Redux or doesn’t manage state and, and, and...

Most web developers are limited to those conditions and most currently posted front end jobs are limited to those requirements. Technically what you said is subjectively correct but it depends on a lot of factors and constraints for the average developer.
I work in OT security in an industry completely unrelated to Telecoms but which is also a matter of national security and everything in this blog post doesn't really sound believable from my experience dealing with sensitive infrastructures. Different industries, different countries, etc. I get that things can differ a bit, but going from "the infrastructure is airgapped" (in my industry) to "the infrastructure is managed remotely by a foreign entity" (as claimed by the author) seems too big to be true.
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit sceptical about the veracity of some of these claims.

No it's not a crime against humanity, let's not go that far and let's not unreasonably promote cancel culture by burning the witch at the stake before giving the issue some deep thought.

It's a much more complicated issue then you describe. Many corporate organizations have been selectively distributing information to deliberately influence sentiment for decades. Facebook is not the first nor will they be the last.

Restricting any entity from doing this is a complicated issue that has to do with restricting freedom of speech.

Fox news comes to mind when I think of another organization that does this deliberately. To add more complication to the issue one should consider the fact that the success of Fox news can also be attributed to it's customers: people. People choose what they want to hear, and many people prefer news viewed through a biased right leaning lens.

Just like how the above poster wants to paint this issue as a crime against humanity, I think part of the problem is that on some level we all want to lie to ourselves. We want to view the world in a very specific and certain black and white way.
I agree, it seems many consumers no longer use Windows. For many people today their primary computer is a smartphone or tablet running Android or iOS.

Happened to us too. Twice. First time they removed stuff from the contract while increasing the price without telling us they removed stuff. Second time they added stuff we didn't ask for.

The whole process has been a nightmare. For six months we couldn't get ahold of our account manager and her voicemail was full. The year+ delay with the old roof resulted in nasty (and expensive) water damage from a winter storm late last year. We've had countless reschedules, four no-shows (told to get up at the crack of dawn for crews that never arrived), three account-manager replacements and two field manager replacements. Now 16 months after making the deposit and still no roof... Tesla is a mess.

I'm not sure why the downvotes. That's absolutely a fair comment. There are some cases where creative work can benefit your day job through visibility and related skills. (A talented amateur actor is probably going to be better at presentations for example. And being that really good presenter at your company's user group event every year isn't going to hurt you.) But it seems a good point overall. Being great on some instrument probably isn't going to be a great argument for why you should get promoted at a non-music-related position.)
T+2 is an artifact of fund transfer settlement times isn’t it? Or to rephrase, why do we still have T+2 for equities?
It's their choice, not their destiny.

Young people reject their parents all the time. A pervasive issue in parenting is the kids refuse to listen to the parents. Movies about it are quite popular - see "Dirty Dancing", "Saturday Night Fever", on and on and on.

I'm not buying the lack of agency of young people. It's just another excuse for choosing the easy way.

If you are not where you want to be in life, have you done anything today to move towards that goal? If you've done nothing, then choose better. It's your life, not mine. Complaining about not being a billionaire's son is a waste of your life.

If you're in the US, of sound mind and body, and over 18, there's never been a time in history with more opportunity for you. If you refuse to see it, nobody can help you. But just think about all those migrants with nothing walking thousands of miles with the hope of getting into the US.

What do they know that you don't?
I would expect “we’re investigating this issue and/or taking corrective action” because that’s the actually empathetic thing to do when a child has died and others have been injured. No PR department should be putting out knee jerk reactions. It’s their job not to. That their reaction is to deflect blame doesn’t bode well for them making an effort to address the problem. Peloton is not even just deflecting blame here. They are accusing the government of basically lying.

I’m using standard office sized standing desks (40”x60”). On my “work” desk I have two 27” LG5K displays side by side with the laptop off to the side. My second “personal” desk has two 27” Apple Thunderbolt monitors stacked vertically with two 34” LG ultrawides turned vertically on either side of the stacked 27”. No eye strain or neck issues with either setup.
At the exact same time. No oscillating.

>users have come to expect certain UI elements on any given web page and those things are far beyond "content".

Usually I visit pages to see if the content is worth my time. If the 'UI elements' somehow contribute to that content, great. That's rare.

Most pages I hit are hiding poor content in swathes of katchi-vatchi. Do I really care if the headline slides down that big photo? Am I really going to scan those glaring sidebars?

For the record, I just looked at my (formerly commercial) treadmill and it has no guard. Looking at a google image search for "treadmill" shows maybe 1/3 do not have a guard.

Whether or not it is a terrible design, it's common.
Any treadmill I've seen had a sensor which shuts down the mill if the tread gets jammed.
> I really don’t think it should change anything in risk calculation and preparedness though. If you have to use it, it still represents a complete fail for you as an outdoorsman. The downside is that their easy availability makes people more likely to engage SAR when they should just suck it up or not have gone out in the first place.

Thank you! Exactly and agreed 100%. Even when out-and-about in public in the city, I can deploy it in a few seconds (either via the device itself or my Garmin watch), in addition to calling 911 for someone in distress, so the exact GPS coordinates of the incident are shared. This ensures that no delays occur with rescue on my end.

I am big on preparing and I look needing SAR operations as a huge systemic failure. It is true that all it takes is one mistake to end up in such a situation.

As I said, I have health conditions. Backpacking for days in the wilderness (no matter how prepared or "responsible" I may be) is not possible and is unsafe in my particular situation. I can go on day hikes though, generally, without issue with adequate preparation.

For people criticizing the use of such technology: Have you called 911 before for an incident where there are not a lot of addresses/cross-streets/markings, such as at a national park? Do you realize that SAR resources are precious and extremely limited? Do you realize that SAR operations can be quite dangerous, even for the well trained and seasoned professional?

I should point out that I also spend time on the water, and I take my Garmin inReach Mini with me, in the inReach Mini Dive Case. I have it clipped to my lifejacket with a carabiner clip, which I wear at all times during water activities. It should be pointed out that the Garmin inReach Mini is useless underwater, as electrical signals cannot be transmitted through water, which is something everyone should be aware of. The same goes likewise for any PLB.

When on the water, the inReach Mini likewise works best with a smartphone (iPhone, in my case), which I keep in a dive case, also clipped to my jacket.

Thankfully, I have never had to use my Garmin inReach Mini. I don't "hope" it never happens. I plan as much as possible, to avoid a SAR situation at all costs. I also look at it as a responsible thing to have, both for myself, and also in case someone nearby is in trouble.
The difference is that now everybody wants complex web apps, a split backend/frontend, a SPA, PWA, done usingthe javascript framework of the week, etc…

Yes, doing complex things has gotten easier, mostly due to the improved tooling, but the number of things developers are asked to solve (for no real reason other that "it is now doable") have skyrocketed.

Roblox is not comparable to flash in the ease of development. You don't have kids creating mini games and sharing them either. Scratch is not comparable either.
