Ask HN: What are some unfulfilled promises of the internet
Amazon seems to have fulfilled the promise of ecommerce, Google the promise of access to information, Spotify and Netflix the promise of digital entertainment, Email/Zoom/Social Media - the promise of global communication etc

Are there any promises of the early internet that remain unfulfilled or forgotten?
You're not wrong about farmers, but it's in a tons of different professions. I mean, think how much more productive software devs are right now than the age of punch cards.
Oh well in the US they actively abolished their right to organize and have a democratically formed representation against the autocratic corporate hierarchy. Ceos could not care less about the company or its employees. What is the worst case scenario for them? A golden parachute on top of platinum compensation that is 100’s of times higher than their average employee. The employees and the local community will have to eat the s** from the management decisions. There is no social accountability for mismanaging companies, despite its wide social repercussions.
Delivery pressure increases as you go higher in the management structure.

The most stressful part is that as you transition from IC to manager and work your way up the org chart, you become more abstracted away from actual being able to do the work and influence the outcome yourself. More responsibility, less direct influence.

Some managers struggle with this pressure and resort to trying to make their teams feel as much of the pressure as possible. Good managers learn how to set a healthy cadence, manage expectations upward, and keep a healthy but reasonable amount of delivery pressure on the team.

There is no realistic scenario where teams have zero delivery pressure, but it needs to be kept in balance. Burning everyone out all the time only works if you have a constant stream of replacement employees as everyone leaves, but then you lose institutional knowledge and reputation tanks. Managers who use these tactics need to be coached or removed from the company.

If you want to disable Sidewalk, here's a quick Tweet I wrote back in November:

I 100% agree.

I would love something like very simplistic markup, doesn't even have to be HTML. Just something to inline some images and differentiate text.

Everything else is just horrible.

I get so many emails with basically websites in them, but when you click on a product, the deep link is broken and you just end up on the storefront.

I'd much prefer a small text that talks about the product and explains a few things and then a working link to that product.
Didn't spot this till now, so you may have gone.

Largely based on articles I read after watching the film Blood Diamond, actually.
The FAQ says you can disable it -

If I disable Amazon Sidewalk, will my Sidewalk Bridges still work?

Yes. All of your Sidewalk Bridges will continue to have their original functionality even if you decide to disable Amazon Sidewalk. However, disabling means missing out on Sidewalk’s connectivity and location related benefits. You also will no longer contribute your internet bandwidth to support community extended coverage benefits such as locating pets and valuables with Sidewalk-enabled devices.

In study, pink-colored drinks made people run faster and further
I think middle class society in the West has already reached this stage. I was talking about this the other day with my wife, after stewing about it bitterly for hours into the night.

The most common form of interpersonal interaction has changed from genuine offers of assistance to displays of status and evaluations of said displays.

It's unthinkable to do something as basic as ask your neighbour to "borrow" an egg or bring them some cake just because you have too much. On the other hand, you can sure as hell expect them to let you know that what you own isn't good enough.

The obvious conclusion to this shift, which is already playing out, is that people minimise the amount of interaction with others and we all become lonelier.
That's exactly the problem: instead of using conda you should instead use one of the myriad of others! It's balkanisation.

There are a few layers to your question.

If you mean distributed to mean "over multiple computers", then ya... this is a really specialized field. Your ability to synchronize and maintain hard real-timeness between computers is completely dependent on IO and hardware features, and topology. This makes it much harder to make a generalized framework.

We we ignore the distributed portion, then you're describing a real-time operating system - in which case something like https://www.freertos.org/ might fit the bill?
Was that a real thing or was the Beyonce concert hyperbole?
Apple added: “The commission charged by the App Store is very much in the mainstream of those charged by all other digital marketplaces. In fact, 84% of apps on the App Store are free and developers pay Apple nothing. And for the vast majority of developers who do pay Apple a commission because they are selling a digital good or service, they are eligible for a commission rate of 15%.”

84% seems extremely high and I'm curious what sort of apps that number includes. Are they mostly free branded apps for ordering coffee etc, in-app purchases that were not included, or just unsuccessful indie apps that never earned a cent?

My colleagues and I have so many mixed feelings and long discussions on the App Store. It provides a high level of safety and convenience, yet is very clear that Apple wants to own the entire customer experience and charge developers at every turn and leave them holding the infrastructure bill.
Sort of an interesting detail on the safety standards. Even though these mostly impact/protect the eventual owner _only_, they are forced into the car design such that a prospective buyer’s choices (and prices) are constrained. Oddly enough, both these mandated price-increases and the inflation-hiding hedonic adjustments that benefit from them are coming from the same general vicinity..
>> Everything ads seem to do is just piss some people off.

This is an eternal sentiment. For the more analytical, there are many examples of advertising millions demonstrably doing nothing. Ha, BMW turned off their ads for a year and nothing happened. So and so blew squillions on ill conceived ad campaigns, etc. It's very easy to cherry-pick advertising stories. To bastardize the adage, "half of the advertising tree is always cherries."

And yet, advertising is one of the biggest economic forces of our time... as you say. It literally rivals oil, shipping and other traditional giants. FB & Alphabet are, as businesses, $trn advertising businesses. That's the market proof that advertising does affect your choices.

The simple proof is easily visible to anyone on the advertiser side of the advertiser-consumer relationship. You open an online business. No one shows up. You advertise. People show up. It may or may not be profitable, but the causality is plain. Even without tracking/analytics/snooping... it's a plain fact that many or most customers for many businesses or even whole sectors are attributable to ads.

Consumers only notice that ads piss them off. Advertisers only notice that ads make consumers do stuff. Both are extremely dismissive of the others' intelligence.
How is the work different? The core businesses have a lot in common. Gamification of attention?
Yeah. Consumer CPU power draw is largely a solved problem. Total aggregate processor energy use on a typical Intel laptop is already down to somewhere around 20-30% of what the display backlight pulls. That's good enough, you're just not going to do much better on a laptop form factor.

The M1 isn't really that notable for "battery life", it isn't. All the people raving are people hitting particular edge cases of high CPU utilization that consumers (even developers) generally don't see when browsing and watching. The Apple power magic is all happening in phones.

And the magic of the M1 is that they have achieved desktop-class (nearly market-leading) performance in a chip that still draws like a phone at idle. It's an amazing piece of engineering, but in a laptop it's really just an incremental improvement over what we already have.
To be honest, if it was just "hey, here's this show on Netflix!" or "Try this new streaming platform!" type ads, I could deal. I've never had too much trouble disabling this sort of thing on my Sony TV.

The thing that always worries me is that it's essentially a low end smartphone with a really sweet screen. I still don't know what will happen if the OS/firmware ever gets borked. Will it just fail over to the last input I used, essentially rendering it a monitor? (not the worst thing that could happen)

Or will it just boot up to some error screen and become useless because the "smarts" broke and now I can't use a perfectly good display anymore?

I know a lot of people prefer the ease and convenience, and that's why they sell so well. But I'd always prefer to have the display be the display, and then use whatever box or dongle or PC I choose to provide the content. Those can be swapped and upgraded. The 2014-era smartphone SoC built into the TV can't.
The first part will probably happen in Europe, but I can't imagine it in the USA, the lobby is too strong.
If you pardon the way I am going to put it - you seriously may have to work not just on reading, but also on comprehension skills. English may not be your native language (and it's not mine either), but if you demonstrate hostility with passive aggressive tone and rationalise it with made up arguments (looking at the part where non-english speakers are "discriminated"), being on hiring side probably I will give you a chance to apply your skills elsewhere.

As to being non-native English speaker, you may not be able to create perfect wording - that's fine, but if knowing this you're too lazy or entitled not to speel check it at least -it has nothing to do with knowledge but just plain negligence or ignorance.
While there is overlap, there's also a ton of differences (pyproject for dependencies, dependency resolution, version locks).

I use both pyenv and poetry, and basically nothing else apart from the occasional call to pip.

Great question! Profits of the most successful companies (the ones most skilled at making strategic, marketing, investment, and other business decisions) probably should (at least “will” and I’m fine with “should”) rise faster than inflation while profits of companies who are not good at these decisions should rise less quickly than inflation (or even fall or become negative).

I’d expect there to be a subset of companies who have grown their profits faster than inflation and for survivorship bias to mean that appears very common in a backward-looking point-in-time snapshot.
Pop psych structures and archetypes are sometimes useful for thinking about ourselves, our relationships with others, and our orgs.

I think they can be overwrought, though, and used precisely when they're supposed to be a "if you squint you might see these things around you" way.

I'm rather a fan of the Biblical "raise a child in the way they should go and they won't depart from it"; train someone with the essentials of the their job, reinforce the good habits, and (if they take ownership) they will continue to do those things they were taught even when they are no longer closely managed.

The above presumes "close management" at the beginning of the "life" of someone new to the job, and then as they age in the organization "distant management", and eventually leadership.

close management != micro management, consider close management to be the same kind of process a child goes through when learning. First we show them, then we explain to them what we did, then they try it with supervision (this is where most of my learning occurs), then we let them do it without supervision.

You could think of this in terms of how big a learner's feedback loop from others is: at the start their feedback loop from "engineer dad" is tight; they get feedback very often, correction and discipline where necessary. As they learn, the feedback loop loosens and they have a chance to move into their "engineering teens". Eventually the feedback loop is loosely coupled; "engineer dad" now advises infrequently and offers guidance and advice when requested.

;) My little framework is as useful as any other pop-psych, you just have to squint at your org/experiences to see it.
You can fix the hardcoded dns IP addresses.

I just blocked all DNS traffic outside of directed to a dnsmasq container allowing only whitelisted hosts (I just allow netflix on smart tv)

Next step is to block all traffic to IP Addresses that have not been resolved by that. That would fix DoH but it seems overkill for now.

Ah, yes. The pressure to deliver on specific growth targets in a nearly-completely arbitrary marketplace, which, if met, will result in massive compensation here, and if missed, will result in....massive compensation, then a shift to doing the same thing somewhere else for also-massive compensation.

That was my first thought too but I looked at the list of claims. They're all very US centric and I hadn't heard of any of them, but none obviously jumped out as true but rated false. There was one about a fabricated quote assigned to a US politician, and I couldn't find any original source for it (and it was suspiciously extreme anyway).

At the very least if one was incorrectly classified you'd need to do some legwork to demonstrate that.
I code a lot, often in focus for 4-6 hours at a time, and that causes back strain between my shoulder blades, an area a past chiropractor called the "mouse muscle" because it is the single muscle near the spine that holds the weight of your arm when manipulating a mouse and keyboard. Plus, due to neck strain from staring at screens, I typically need a neck adjustment to relieve base of neck stiffness.

Also, when you work out, do you protect your wrists? I make sure to use barbells with angle grips or vertical grips so my wrists are not bearing the weight; If to lift a weight my wrists are vertical, and not horizontal, the strain of the weight is bared by wrist bones and not tendons and muscles.

I also take a Lysine+b6 supplement, which seems to help recovery from strenuous workouts where the muscles may have been over stressed. Lysine is a protein used my connective tissue, like skin, cartilage, and tendons. I have no idea if the supplement is realistically a good idea, but it seems to help my recoveries. It's also related to stress management, and I manage a lot of stress.
iOS has mouse support, and Apple sells a keyboard with a trackpad for it. If they were that concerned about the touch screen being unusable—even though other manufacturers have figured it out—then they could just disable touch input while in Mac mode. Maybe even allow Pencil support.
It's plain illegal in Switzerland regardless of CCTV signs. Even dashcams are in a gray area where it should technically be illegal but it has never been enforced before a court as far as I know (dashcam are extremely rare here anyway). I wonder how it works for Tesla cars that record their surrounding when parked, maybe they don't have that feature here.
Surveillance of public areas is only permited with very good reasons (e.g protecting outdoor ATMs) and must be restricted at the minimum required to serve its purpose.
Do the amazon knock off cattle prods hurt more or less than genuine ones? Like, do they just not work? Are they just bricks in boxes? Or do they instantly cause death? I’m joking, but I go through this logic each time I regrettably make an amazon purchase: what’s the knock-off failure mode. Vitamins? Heavy metal poisoning. No go. Pens? They don’t write well. Acceptable for amazon purchase.

Exactly, every time workplace conditions comes up on HN, it seems like the vast majority of people just work at companies that absolutely suck. They then come to the conclusion that all companies suck.

It is actually possible to have a well paying job, at a company that also try to care about your well-being.
In my time reading HN I have learned how Amazon and Google have not exactly fulfilled these so much as coopted and twisted them..

If you're under 55 and are healthy your chances of dying from this virus are basically non-existent.

You'll get a sniffle/fever for a few days and then be immune.

Don't put an experimental drug into your body for no reason.

Anyone who says variant or strains are a problem has merely to look at over 50% of the United States with no covid restrictions for months who are at record lows of infections and with minimal vaccines.

The variant or strain problem is a nothing burger.

> The NYT will usually add an update to the online article if they receive a response after it's published

Then why didn't they update this article? Again, it's not like Tesla didn't say anything relevant. You're making what amounts to a process argument: Tesla didn't respond in the right way and so the Times is allowed to claim that they refused to comment because it's technically true.

But "technically true" isn't what journalism is supposed to be about, and the Times is usually pretty good about that in its hard news coverage. Which is why you can tell that this is really a business/investment story being pawned off as news.

Only in the sense that restaurateurs don't care if the food is good. If it's selling... sure, they'll keep selling something that sucks. But generally, advertisers aren't quite the fools everyone thinks they are. There are always fools around, but prices tend to be rational enough long term. If ads aren't effective, revenue will dry up eventually.

All that effort to track people for ads... these are all attempts at improving effectiveness.

Agree with you here. No, there is no such requirement and it's probably not necessary because it's goal is just to get an interview (or not to get it).

It's not a magic stick allowing to make a perfect choice, more like an assessment option. That's being said, sometimes it worth to give a shot to someone whose CV is sub par.
