I really do miss Scott Forstall.

> this idea that they were dumb and we're smart

The cold war suggests Russia is anything but dumb. And as those bullets demonstrate, they where smart enough to know better - but the problem with the Soviet Union was not that it collapsed (or was unstable), but that it wasn't transparent - it cared more about the image of functionality than actual functionality.
wouldn't you only need to deorbit if you "missed"? it's not like we're trying to safely land on the surface of the sun. we don't need it slow down at all, just aim straight for the middle and accelerate in.

>we are on a fast track to 95% of wages going to 5% of workers

Really? Based on what data?

The US Census Bureau has data on the aggregate share of income in Table H-2. For 2019, the top 5% of households received 23.0% of aggregate income (a bit lower than 2018 and 2017).

Looking back 25 years before that to 1994, that number was 21.2% and (eyeballing it) seems to have been fairly range-bound in the 20-23% range since the early 1990s.

The data starts in 1967, where that number was 17.2%.
Only if you can't use it to finish a line at that time, lol.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/724/
The popular stereotype of Japan is one of a multireligious society that has combined Buddhism and indigenous belief (Shintoism), without most of the population being particularly dogmatic. But Japan has some quirky minority religions[0] that one might only come across by being in the right subculture.

I used to dabble in Esperanto, and Japanese Esperantists are often followers of the religion Oomoto, which regards Esperanto’s creator as a saint. On one hand, I’m grateful to the opportunity to learn more about Japan. On the other hand, when you meet Japanese people through Esperanto, you have to remember you are meeting a rather non-representative fringe. (Something similar happens with Brazilian Esperantists, who are often involved in the Spiritism quasi-religion founded by Allan Kardec.)

Yes, loved that HN story.
Used to be the case but not anymore.
Yeah, so?

The author of the post specifically (you read the article, didn't you?) said:

> The thing is, I think advertising is positive, and I think my individual contribution is positive. I'm open to being convinced on this: if I'm causing harm through my work I would like to know about it.

Then goes on to not mention a single example of harm being caused through their work, like virtually all articles that attempt to defend the advertising industry's practices. I thought I'd list a few.
That’s how I saw it. My wife and I each have hundreds of paragon points, so that new characters are born ridiculously OP. But IMHO that’s fun, too! I collected all the speed runs, like “beat Act I in 1 hour” and that was challenging. Going for the ludicrous achievements like “kill 400 enemies consecutively” was fun. Running through a ridiculously hard timed dungeon, getting an electric charge, and watching all these uber-powerful demons explode as I sprint past them was way satisfying. Coming up with equipment sets where every piece doubles my damage points was engaging.

At launch, it was alright. Now that I’m a wildly powerful godlike thing that can kill Diablo by looking at him sideways, it’s an awful lot of fun in a completely different way.
If those are troubling industries (which I agree) it should be illegal to advertise those products. That doesn't mean advertising as a methodology is bad.
> Software is an axiomatic system. Human behavoir is NOT.

It really isn't though. When I write software I have to consider the different interpretations by the OS, browser, etc. and draft accordingly. Ditto for when I draft legal documents and need to consider the different interpretations by opposing counsel, a regulator, etc. As someone who drafts legal documents for humans and writes code for computers I can tell you first-hand the two processes are remarkably similar.
Quora was an interesting example of that. They seeded it with some big names, especially from venture capital and Silicon Valley culture. That attracted a lot of eyeballs quickly, and for a while, some very good content (mostly not from the big names but from its diverse user base, and some good writers achieved notoriety).

That wasn't very lucrative, and they've spent the last few years spending that goodwill to attract lower-quality content but more page views. Eventually that will cause its hard-earned SEO to drop off, but today they seem to feel its the best way to monetize what they developed from that early money and star-power.
Yes it does because he's saying "I swear guys this was definitely a good idea no need to confirm what I say" and then continues to bash crypto because it wasn't getting any traction. So his argument is just based on his opinion that it was a great idea, meanwhile most ideas are garbage.
There's a lot of truth in this. Can you go deeper, what does: "they didn't have a good funnel because the top influentials were too high stakes, and it creates the incentive for arrivistes to knock the ladder away behind them,"
It seems like you didn't bother to read the entire article because the author does go into the ethical and privacy related concerns about ads. It is always interesting to read about people's opinions on topics such as this, and the fact that you dismissed it outright with such ignorance as to call it a bad-faith argument tells me you are not open to hearing opinions that differ from your own. As a result, a downvote of your comment feels appropriate (if I had the points to do so). But hey, at least you're probably a decent person (really!).
It's in a number of linux package repos (it's at least in Ubuntu and Debian).

Though I remember at least getting a few lines in Bastet. Hateris seemed to be a lot more difficult (as the article states should be the case).
There’s something quite un-human about this idea of just being content and accepting and not standing out. Yes this is what a lot of meditators aim for and it likely means less emotional variability in life.

But it is not peaceful contentment that lifted us from the caves and will lift us to the stars. It is passion. Love. Hatred. Desire. Dreams. Despair. Individualism. That is a large part of what it means to be human.

Not the whole thing to be sure - the sense of unity with all that I get from DMT or similar things is sublime. But a large part of life is about intense striving for the dreams I have. As a self that is separate from the world.

Being happy through absolute contentment with one’s lot in society sounds like what being one of the social insects feels like.

Someone in the industry has a theory that he made his initial fortune by being unhedged during Black Monday[0] and benefiting from being on the "right" side and he's been coasting on that since then. Obviously hard/impossible to say, but he is definitely hypocritical when it comes to things like "skin in the game".

Yep. The comments consisted of both extremes: analytical, reflective or informative responses, paired with "haha he got OWNED!" type of comments.

The latter made me really wonder if those commenters had ever experienced loss or hardship in their lives.

> then complain about types instead of talking about static analysis

Static types are a form of static analysis. One that is deeply integrated into the language and compiler, which gives obvious advantages such as machine-checked documentation, custom invariants and error messages (expected a Currency but got a Country), better code generation, better tooling (IDE pop-ups, fast incremental checking) etc.
Other forms of static analysis are of course useful too.

Broadband companies funded 'fake' net neutrality comments, investigation finds
Actually advertising works best when it exploits the needs and desires you already feel. The farther away it gets from those, the more expensive it gets. That said, ever since the sixties it does sell things based on people's need to project their status and image, as a way of defining oneself to the outside world. People buy things for what the thing does, plus what owning and using the thing says about your personality. And people seem to be prone to accept these symbolic identifications less critically then they do performance claims about what the product does. Bob Dylan said it best:

Advertising signs that con you\
Into thinking you're the one\
That can do what's never been done\
That can win what's never been won\
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you

But umm, I don't think it's always a bad thing. Or rather, it's not bad by default.

I was young when that was first announced and privacy wasn't as big deal or a concern as it is these days.

I abandoned it right away.

Alright, I'll help you understand what I'm trying to imply with the TODO list of ideas. It's fairly close to what you mean by intrinsic motivation to work on something. Except, sometimes, I, get different ideas to build something fun when I'm already busy with something I thought of as cool a while back.

For example, right now, I'm working on something full-time on what I thought would be really cool to build in January but along the way, I thought of other things as well, some of those require more time than just a weekend. I tend to write those ideas down instead of passing on them or getting involved in them and abandoning my current projects.

Keep doing this for long enough and you'll end up with a long list of ideas over a period of time so that's what I was referring to with the TODO list of ideas, ideas that really intrigue me, stuff I want to build but currently don't have the time for. I'm assuming this happens to other developers as well, at least, some of my friends do this. We even have a shared list of what we want to build together.
I did a lot of research on salmon aquaculture at work last year (random, I know).

Norway has one if the most well-developed aquaculture industries in the world, and it is heavily regulated.

I'd be very surprised if Norwegian aquaculture rules didn't exceed EU rules in about every single way.

I learned a lot about aquaculture, not all of which was very nice. But now when I buy farmed salmon, I specifically choose Norwegian salmon over my native Scottish salmon.
May I ask why you did that?
Didn't love most of the food in Norway - cheese in tubes especially (my fault), but loved the fish (and the great hospitality of Norwegians).

The core of my argument is that an engineer building the product is performing their duty. You don't have to sell me on the fact that ads are bad. I hate all ads.

I'm a developer myself and I've never faced the dilemma, but I don't feel like blaming others for not wanting to become judges of good and evil. Like in the case of a lawyer, doing your job and doing it well is in and of itself ethical.

I really can't draw a line in the sand where adtech is unacceptable but $something_else is, just because I have such an hatred for advertisement.

Describing agile as a cult is spot-on. Regardless of its intent, I've never seen nor heard of it being implemented in a way that promotes iterative R&D on a development team.

I think you're asking the wrong question. Which is probably part of the problem. I know it is at most of the places I've ever had anything to do with.

No block of people is homogeneous, but a lot of the time companies think they can just have some kind of blanket policy and make everyone happy. In reality, especially if you're a smaller company, I think what you need to have is empathy and flexibility.

Everyone you want to hire is different. Some are loners that want to travel, some have families, some want to go back to school while they work, some want to grow their wealth. Some just want to be around cool people and build interesting projects. But what none of them will ever be is the same.

If you want to attract and retain top talent then you need to have a conversation with that talent that includes questions like "What will make you happy here?" "What can we do to accommodate your needs day-to-day and long-term?". And then actually help realize those needs.
For me, the question becomes—if we must write applications to one target that's going to run on a server anyway—why oh why must it be web tech? The whole appeal of applications (not documents) in the browser was that they were (kinda, sorta) able to run on any platform. If your target is one browser on one OS, and you're writing an actual application, why would you subject yourself, your developers, and your product quality to an HTML + JS UI?

You wrote: <<the holder becomes legally liable to receive the oil>> Very good point! We should be clear for other readers: For many commodities futures, there are two types: physical and cash settle.

Cash (settle) futures only require an exchange of cash at expiry.

I have routinely asked this question and I routinely get pushed aside by GDPR zealots. I am not really interested in the GDPR bit as much as I am "what responsibilities do strictly web companies have when dealing with customers who are in a different country"

I think it's a load of bunk shit.

Companies should be following the law of their country, not of other countries.

I don't want businesses to be forced to bow to the will of Europe, or Iran, or China, or any country other than their own.

It sets up a weird quazi-legal precident where companies could be in the position of trying to play ball with multiple legal systems.

See russia, they want russians data to be on russian servers, even if your company is not there.

Why? Probably so they can seize the digital assets of citizens they want to send to the gulag.

I don't like it one bit, I don't like google working with china, I don't GDPR effecting American companies.

You need to be careful and follow the law of your country.

It pertains to tax as well, which I never understood how a different country wants to impose a tax on a company that doesn't operate there. They might have customers there - but they don't operate there in any meaningful sense more than they 'operate' there if I go onto a US website into it while on vacation in a foreign country.
