Love the delightful conversation we're having here about dark patterns. I find them personally disgusting and I allocate a specific amount of time on a biweekly basis to have personal retrospectives on what services I am not using/have realized I hate using, so it's great that the FTC is stepping up on this front.

That being said, remember the Cobra effect and that trying to combat one problem can cause an immediately perverse, unintended consequence when you try to solve a problem in this manner. Maybe I'm misusing concepts a bit but in my thinking -
perhaps exposing all the immediately obvious "Dark Patterns" as they are perceived now will lead to immediate ingestion of this newly found consumer-originating response set (like this post) which will potentially enable the alleged actors in question who engage in these actions to be even better equipped at creating new, dare I say, darker patterns
I'm not sure that is true in general. I live an hour outside a city and wouldn't trade a (certainly smaller) place in the city for the same amount of money.
I don’t agree with that, but you don’t deserve the downvotes - plenty of people agree with you. I think the magic is in the way the output tubes interact with the speaker, mostly. But you can get the same responsiveness with a carefully designed solid state output stage. It’s just a lot harder. The coupling through the output transformer allows the speaker to push back against the output tube which adds a little resonance and changes the frequency response, to duplicate that in solid state you have to use a complex feedback loop.

I will bet you $1000 that not a single person can reliably determinate which tone is from a real tube amp vs a solid state Axe Fx 3 in a blind A/B test. Why spend 6k on a real tube amp when you can have hundreds of physically modelled amps and pedals, not to mention all the effects and "fake" things you can do like modify internal circuits and stuff... makes no sense
A true labor shortage could exist without full employment with ramp up time issues with skilled labor. That also means a shortage across the whole scope not just a single employer. As in "even if you paid a million a year salary you couldn't suddenly get 100 people capable of proficently reading and writing a long dead language when there are only seventeen professors world wide who can". The issues would correct themselves eventually longer term with sustained demand and training though.

Sputnik V: How Russia's Covid vaccine is dividing Europe
While personally trying every burrito is quite a compelling thought, I was actually thinking of making it more of a crowdsourced effort, where people can submit ratings. Kinda like a hyper-focused version of yelp.
This censorship mentality is pervasive. I also hate it.

For example, even in something as important as a recent US Supreme Court case, the Washington Post reported it this way: “F--- school, f--- softball, f--- cheer, f--- everything,” 14-year-old Brandi Levy typed into Snapchat one spring Saturday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-c...

No, Brandi didn't actually type all those dashes.

Fortunately, the court documents have the actual words in them.
You wouldn't believe how many people you're leaving out by expecting anyone to sit in front of a screen and read and write text comments. Even if you can read and type fast, a lot of people don't care to sit on forums and squint at their screen, typing out their ideas on little iphone keyboards.

The friction to hearing and expressing ideas is way lower via audio chat. It's just a different population than everyone here, content to read text and compose replies.

I also don't know why you brought in "important discussions" - while I had a great 3 hour conversation last night on how to resolve disputes without authorities, I joined a room just because I saw some friends there playing "never have I ever", I didn't go seeking out an important discussion but I had one anyway, that's what gets people talking about their positive experience - the spontaneity and unexpected outcomes of it.
> I would guess that, apart from the immense effort of building it, delivering personalised search results like this would be enormously expensive in storage for the search engine.

How expensive would it really be?

You have O(the_internet) in pages and metadata, and you have O(world_population) in user preferences. So long as your index structure allows those to be mostly decoupled (if I had to take a first crack at it I'd probably try to embed preferences and pages into a vector space and build a projection index -- exact matches are hard in that system, but decent personalized results are easy), I don't think it'd be all that much more space than a non-personalized search engine, especially given that the world population is kind of small compared to the size of the internet.

For that matter, the web isn't thaaat big (ignoring images and video). The entire common crawl can fit on a single $3k-$5k disk uncompressed.
I had a tile, and I might get one of these, since the UI of the Tile app was just a hot/cold thing back when my Tile worked, and this claims to offer an arrow, which is nifty.

As for why: My laptop bag. Not my laptop, I know where that is at all times, but surprisingly often I'll leave my laptop bag in an environment (think an onsite visit, hot desks, etc) where someone will helpfully "place it out of sight" if I have to walk way for a while. It doesn't happen every day, and of course, right now it happens zero times, but if I ever return to that sort of scenario, it's nice to be able to find my bag if it's moved for me. If I completely lose the bag, it's not that big of a deal, but if I can quickly find it with some electronic help, then great.
This sounds like desperation from FB.
Yes. Take a random apk and look at it with a zip lister. If resource.asrc is compressed, someone didn't use the SDK tools to build it (and I'd be shocked).

What you described is about my understanding of what happens. I would hope it doesn't uncompress the whole thing on every access, but only far enough to read the value; but I'm not sure. Note that it's not just the app itself that uses the app's resources; other elements of the OS use them too.
It's not anymore unusable over high latency links than most website. Also worth noting that the caching is very smart, so once things are downloaded it's very fast.

But most high latency links are very slow (so downloading large databases is a horrible experience) and (more importantly) are often priced by the size of downloads.
That’s like saying Twitter and Facebook are just text messaging apps.

They have changed society.

Something can be both simple and revolutionary.
Fix the business processes first or you risk codifying bad business processes in the platform.
They are a sign of a deficiency in the tech business model. Maintenance is a bad business, and so the only way to keep things understood and working is to build new things.

This is fine as long as the "in maintenance only" portion of the industry remains small. Which will only remain true while the industry is growing exponentially. However like industrials, there will eventually be a physical limit to how much better computer networks, microchips, web search, cameras and other activities can get.

Once this happens growth in the core parts of the industry will slow, and more software will be in maintenance. However software components are both opaque and orders of magnitude more complex than physical parts. As an example, Losing practical knowledge of the linux kernel involves losing knowledge of ~27.8 million lines of code.

There may come a time in a number of decades that getting a driver patched is an impractical activity due to the scarcity of knowledge ( or potentially even the ability to build the driver... )
Why? It's just gridlock. Because of a lack of information about current road conditions, which disables intelligent detouring.
Using inferior parts that don't represent a substantial savings in hopes of having the device last just barely as long as the warranty so the user will have to buy a new one IS planned obsolescence.
Almost every status symbol is looked down upon by many people. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a group who admires it.

The same thing could be said about other collectibles. There isn’t anything stopping people from printing their own baseball cards, but that doesn’t change the market.
Some companies love to claim how much they embrace diversity yet refuse to believe that it's better for some employees to work from home. There is a large range of neurodiverse personalities that thrive in environments they can control like you can at home.

Refusing to even entertain this possibility is a very interesting play...if I ran a remote-friendly tech company, I would be on the lookout for some seriously talented people right now who are looking for some more autonomy.
How much CPU does it require, realistically, to implement an asymmetric + XOR cipher? Each pager would have a key pair provisioned by the provider. The provider would generate a unique key for each message and then use the pager's public key to encrypt that and send it along with the XOR-ed message. I'd bet you could decrypt that on a weak-ass microcontroller.
Apple will soon be prevented from doing that when they are forced to open the App Store.
that would put a lot of obligation on the vendor to honor some kind of contract they don't need to do today. They can change anything they want with zero cost today.
Most CRMs (and especially Salesforce) have seen every business model under the sun and are customizable to fit any business process that you can write an ERD for (i.e. literally anything).

Oftentimes when people think they need a completely custom solution, it's because they're getting caught up on the default naming conventions and/or default sales processes (which are customizable in basically every mainstream CRM).

I would agree that no CRM is designed specifically for anyone -- that's the whole reason why any of the remotely good ones are built with configurability and customization in mind. The out-of-box-experience with most CRMs is always a traditional "product sales" paradigm, simply because that's the most common. You can definitely customize it to work with other types of models though.

The difference is these stars experienced a massive acceleration, while we didn’t, so it’s not actually a symmetric relationship.
These points should help -
1) Do you have someone near whom you can trust with social passwords? If yes, great. Ask them to change all your passwords and then you get 1 cheat day where the person will enter the password again and delete app(s) at the end of the day.

2) Change color to monochrome in iPhone settings.

3) These things should pretty much sort out. If you are still using browser etc and can’t get rid of the iphone, go buy a basic phone which can run your bare minimum banking apps.

4)For 2FA, use Authy. It does have a desktop app.
Were they really wrong though?
> Einstein was often criticized for his support of the Soviet Union and socialist ideals.

Interesting. So he didn't like that German regime targeted people like himself, but liked another regime that targeted other people?

Try to join tech forums/discord/IRC related to tech that you like. I don't have many friends IRL but got to know many people via linux community.

Also IMHO You don't worry too much about networking for finding a job.

I would suggest to make a good personal website, showcasing your skills. You can also volunteer your skills to help local NGO or non profit with their online presence. Apply for jobs in start ups.
Industrial Injury.

Only commonality is that the victims are Government employees. Using something, or doing something.

Better to blame it on 'adversaries' than to be on the hook for millions of dollars of Workers' Compensation payments.
Automation is the next outsourcing. I'm one of the people making it happen.

People forget that it doesn't need to be 100% automated. If I can automate 25% of the work of a staff-level engineer, that's amazing. If I can do 50% of a junior engineer, superb.

Right now software engineering is still in baby steps as far as tools are concerned, but the next decade will see some remarkable stuff happen once we have a more solid foundation and start applying the previous few decades' progress in machine learning and statistics.
Hugo claims <1ms a page. Which would mean 20k pages in under 20 seconds. 20k pages in 20 mins is not fast!
I made a similar observation while working at a Fortune 500 company that used Salesforce. Decisions about the company's Salesforce implementation were clearly made by people who didn't care too much about data entry UX. The problem was that they did care greatly about data entry -- and data entry, at least in part due to being needlessly cumbersome, tended to fall far short of expectations.
You are talking average returns. $250k in the s&p 500 in 2015 with dividends reinvested would in fact be worth about $500k today.
Thats why I keep my more then 15 year old espresso machine and resist the urge to get me something fancier. If somethings brakes i can got to the local hardware store and buy stuff from plumbing supply.
Its also a generic clone of the E61 machine so a lot of parts are interchangable and the inner workings are straight forward so said i don't even need a manual for the specific machine.
This is something that would be really cool to have and I think it would work if you could set up a proper incentive structure so it doesn't get gamed.

Some comments I had on this a little while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20282606
Why should subsidies be based on quantity? If anything, we should subsidize income for the less fortunate and let the market dictate costs. We can all pay the fair market value for goods and then those that need actual assistance can have it. If you want to eat a "healthy amount" of meat, pay for it just the same as a glutton. Giving subsidies to the producers of goods makes little sense because you're directing consumption.
For a casual or personal use case though, the alternative of running a client-server database on something like a VPS is probably more overhead than this. It's unlikely to be a very scalable option, but for use cases as described by the author it seems like a good fit.
> It's not anymore unusable over high latency links than most website.

That’s false. Not all web applications suffer equally from high latency links. Depends on how reliant the web application is on independent requests. Making one request and receiving a single bulk download is much less bad than making many dependent requests on a high latency link.
Cuba also contributed to lots of anti-american activities in Africa, where along with the URSS supported the struggle against apartheid and colonialism. All these things can be seen as "transgressions" and reasons for retaliations. But if acting directly in foreign countries is not right, then I think that Cuba is not exactly the worst offender.

> I find it unreasonable that you suggest the USSR's massive stockpiling of weapons was not due to their own actions and strategy, but somehow the US's fault. How can you be circumspect when you suggest that two can tango but only one does the dancing?

Well, there were socialist countries and experiments that were more democratic and did not enter in an arms race. They were wiped out. Russian Revolution was after the massacre in the Paris Commune, so they knew what to expect and prepared accordingly, even before the cold war. But the USA always reinforced this, presenting plenty of examples of how it deals with socialist sympathies in less powerful countries.
You're telling me right now Clubhouse has no trolls, and you believe the reason for this is because it's hard to troll with voice? I'm pretty sure it's because trolls have simply never discovered it. Honestly, I would vastly prefer to be snarky to people in real-time with my voice and hear their immediate, unedited reactions.

For the first time I actually want to try Clubhouse.

There are physical limits. E.g. clock speed can’t go so high that information must travel across the cpu faster than the speed of light. E.g.2. As caches get bigger, it takes more time to index them.
This is a complete digression (feel free to downvote) but compare this to Biden's environment proposals. For Biden it's clearly - spend money to make people happy (i.e. create a zillion jobs) while saving the environment. Which is potentially great.

Look at Apollo. Clearly it was sourced from all over the country in way that created jobs everywhere. Everyone was happy and we put a man on the moon.

Now look at SLS. Clearly it's sourced from all over to create jobs, however it's such a good job creator - it works so well political that the politics have stopped being a parasite on the goal; instead the politics are the goal. SLS is does nothing other then spend money.

There's a funny story involving corruption in 2 countries. In one the minister involved points at a bridge off in the distance and with a wink says "I got 10% of the cost of the bridge in my bank account." In the other country a ministry points to an empty space devoid of anything beyond wilderness. "Hah! I got 100% of the cost of our bridge!"

Politics does get stuff moving but it needs to be a tail being wagged by a dog not the other way 'round.
Clubhouse basically brings Silicon Valley style serendipity to the world. With work and social interactions increasingly being moved online and reaching remote people, the value prop of living in Silicon Valley is rapidly diminishing.
Got to this page on Grete Hermann (1901-1984) via Emmy Noether's (1882-1935) page (who was her doctoral supervisor in Göttingen). What interested me in Hermann was the mention in her wikipage that she anticipated Bell's theorem in 1935. The OP is regarding that 1935 critique of the 'no hidden variable theorem': Die naturphilosophischen Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik (1935).

I'm not trying to invalidate this woman's experiences, because if they are genuinely true as written down, then that is some seriously toxic misogynistic shit, but some of the quotes from the male interviewees sound like they could be lifted straight out of an episode of mad men and an office in the 1960s.

“Hey, hon, before you go… can you get me some more coffee? And put some sugar in it."

I mean... really?? It's hard for me to even imagine those words coming out of a white-collar software engineer applicant. Did they hoot and wolf whistle as she walked by too?

I can only speak anecdotally but as a software engineer for the last two decades I've never seen anything even remotely like this in any of the software companies that I worked at, while bearing in mind that of course as a male I would likely be less likely to notice.

There is likely some truth in this article but it feels like it might be mixed up with some exaggerations which to me hurt the message as a whole.

Completely wrong. Actually, there’s an iceberg effect at play here. There are many more reporters than journalists, delivering pure news every day, doing in-depth reporting. And it makes sense logically: the number of people who have large enough audiences to generate an income by simply being controversial is rather small in the large scheme of things.

I'm a worm farmer and micro-composter that takes cafe waste and turns it into organic fertiliser in the form of vermicompost.

I want to make a distinction between anaerobic processes, aerobic composting and the global respiration and carbon cycle.

Anaerobic environments create methane. Aerobic environments create predominantly CO2. One is more harmful than the other in the atmosphere.

Quality composting creates a lot of CO2, but it's a natural part of the respiration of the planet for bacteria to respire CO2 from oxygen and carbon. This happens everywhere there is organic residue breaking down in the natural environment... think leaf matter falling to the forrest floor.

The difference is that it's a "renewable" process, which is why I don't use peat-moss in my worm trenches.

The thing about methane is that it's very often harvested in landfill and burnt as an energy source. However, this may not always be the case, which is why I encourage cafes to take coffee grounds out of landfill and compost them.

Just doing my bit.

CO2 however is released in the natural carbon cycle (of which composting is a part) into the atmosphere... and according to ANU researchers it's responsible for 10-11 times the annual emissions of fossil fuels.

Composting isn't related to our great dinosaur BBQ we have indulged ourselves in for as long as we have been burning fossil fuels, it's actually simply leveraging natural processes to manufacture soil amendments, which means it's a renewable part of the process for generating calories for human consumption.

Basically Composting isn't part of the surplus of carbon entering the atmosphere from fossilised dinosaur bacteria.

It's just the natural respiration and carbon cycle of the planet.
Alas, those rare examples does includes nuclear power plants.
