Here's a funny story: I was once looking for a figurine online that was sold out everywhere apart from one internet store. So before giving them my money I read some of the reviews.

All seemed good and it appeared that people from all sorts of places had been their customers, until I saw one particular review. It was in Latin.

> In the future I suspect cancelling will be illegal:

Which actions exactly should be illegal? I assume you don't want to make me force watching movies from certain producers that I don't like anymore. At the same time in some countries retail stores basically have to cater to everyone and already can be made liable if they don't sell something that they advertised for as long as customers stick to terms and conditions.

I rather think that excess cancelling and all that comes with it is a result of perceived injustices. Even if you come up with a very creative law unless these injustices are solved the symptoms will pop up elsewhere. That said, standards in society develop over time and probably the capacity for ambivalence is going to rise again. Also people tend to give more credit to things that have been worked for more than things that have been inherited.

The problem is not lack of tech, it’s that consumers are easier to attract to a platform than vendors so the rules tend to favor the vendors.

1. You already are giving Apple your CPU time, battery life, and internet bandwidth by using their software in the first place. If air tags need to download 100 GiB of data to function then maybe you should ask Apple to improve that.

2. Headphone jacks were never removed. They just replaced the legacy outdated 3.5mm jack with a USB C port instead. Both can handle the exact same analog audio, but one of them can handle much more.
This reads like total nonsense to me. Why would Turing machines be 'arbitrary and unmathematical'? What's 'unmathematical' about them? They can be formally and precisely described and I don't know of any mathematician who wouldn't accept TMs as a sound definition.
I also looked it up, I think it is called a mouthguard.

With laws, there are full time police officers, investigators, and prosecutors working to catch people. And even then, most crimes go unsolved and unpunished.

Even without the complicity, stopping fraud and bad behavior is a difficult problem. Part time reviewers and reputation seem woefully insufficient counters.
One 100 megabit connection is cheaper than 10x 10 megabit connections. The less sharing happens the more profit they have.
Turing machines are terribly inefficient, though. They may be easier to reason about than lambda calculus, but not good for practical computing purposes. Their value was in proving that logical and mathematical reasoning could be mechanized with an automatic device, something that had not been clear until then.

Computing science cares a lot about building efficient processes. Thus to create real working programs, a better basis is a combination of lambda calculus for defining mathematical structures and (Von Neumann based) agent-based models for defining stateful processes.

Modern programming languages are evolving to be capable of representing either model, to adapt themselves to the style more suited to the problem at hand.
The biggest problem I have with Amazon is USPS theft. I have had dozens of packages delivered in my mailbox despite the fact that my mailbox is 3” tall. Amazon doesn’t care, USPS doesn’t care. But Amazon always make me wait at least a week to verify that this obvious theft is real. Photo evidence of my mailbox does not move the needle.
Agree that "burn in fiery torment" might be going a bit too far. Instead I'd suggest "listen to their own on-hold muzak for the rest of eternity" as a more appropriate punishment.

I'm actually surprised people buy expensive audio/video/photo equipment on Amazon, since usually their prices aren't good on those, and their packaging is very bad. That's okay for random consumer garbage, but I wouldn't order anything high-end from them.
Very many of the non developer employees were there 14 years ago, so these stories of what the bank went through are more than vague rumors.

> Has anyone ever had to be "forced" to purchase anything for "pennies on the dollar"?

There is typically not much interest in the purchase of something with a high negative value even if highly discounted. That is why it was mandated by the government, so that a large solvent organization could assume another large groups insolvency before the insolvent group closes and strikes their assets.
That's entirely possible as well. Which is one reason that, although I have used Amazon for fairly expensive electronics, they're not my default. (I also expect some people live places where thefts from porches, etc. are more common than in my case where I'm at the end of a long driveway.)

Wow, the amount of depravity in some academic circles is astonishing.

The article links [1] the case of a PhD student at the University of Florida who was forced to participate in such a publication collusion ring and was pressured to commit scientific fraud by fabricating results and submitting them to a conference [2], being threatened with physical harm should he decide to go public.

This student saw no way out and decided to kill himself.

Just a few days after the suicide, the department thought it would be appropriate for the student's own lab to have a "fun" excursion and to document it on Instagram [3].

I'm lost for words.

A lot of people here seem to have fundamentally misunderstood what Sidewalk is, which is understandable with that headline.

The key thing to understand is that devices providing access via Sidewalk aren’t broadcasting a wifi SSID. They’re using LoRA, a low bandwidth (kilobits/second at the most) long range radio protocol. Even if I wanted to I couldn’t connect to the network with standard consumer hardware to compromise your network.

On top LoRA Sidewalk implements what is essentially a tunnel to specific configured endpoints hosted by AWS. Traffic is routed without you having any control over that, so all a Sidewalk device can do is send packets to an endpoint associated with that device family.

True, though I don't see the contradiction. There are similarities and differences, also within such categories.

In almost all cases though, they're not going to be as motivated to pay as they are to receive payment. Take subscription antipatterns for example. Charities do this too. They both also create similar self deceptions to justify the more onerous examples. It's not even just about money, convenience is a pretty big motivator.

Again, I'm not saying that everything is the same, or being reductive. Quite the opposite. I'm saying that reducing everything to "capitalism," "greed" or whatever is meaningless. It's just normally the case, that people and groups are more cognizant of their own goals and wants than they are of others'. Altruism exists, but it's not uniformly distributed across everything an altruist does.
We are all in a hole.
> Multiple consciousnesses could inhabit the same body (multiple personality, split brain, conjoined twins) and a single consciousness could be distributed across multiple bodies (I don't know of any examples but I can't think of any reason this should be impossible in principle).

When you go to a large event such as a concert, there is an "atmosphere". Do you think this could be considered a collective consciousness? You might dismiss it straight away, but this would be like a single neuron assuming that there isn't a higher level of consciousness built on top of it (assuming that the neuron is responsible for part of the consciousness).
Political speech, in particular, is supposed to be protected from this kind of treatment.

Most importantly, accusations of bias are also not a valid reason to fire a journalist.

There's also an intermingling of private and public sphere, and firing someone for private legal behavior because some internet hive mind started a smear campaign also should not be lawful.
Of course, America has the coercive institution of at-will employment, ruining any attempt at fixing it this way.

A good step would be filling class action defamation suit against a class running a smear campaign over barely public and irrelevant things. Consequences for setting up mobs. While platform is not liable, the users are. That could make some people think twice before doing it.
>Where does Marx argue for this?

It depends on what you mean by "raised", but after calling for the abolition of the family in the Manifesto (in whatever sense that the family under capitalism is bourgeois I guess) he says that children will be educated "on a communal basis" and will not be dependent upon their parents (since private property would be abolished). [0]

Secondly, I do not see how our current understanding of "personal ownership" escapes being "bourgeois private property". It seems disingenuous to keep implying that there would not be many radical shifts in how "personal property" would be understood under Marx's ideal communist system compared to how its understood now.

Ask HN: Negotiating Salary
I have recently finished interviews for Frontend dev role with a remote company and expect a decision from them by next week. During my first interview with the HR I set an expectation of $40 for my hourly rate. But during my subsequent interview with the CTO, he complained about my hourly rate and said that it was too high compared to your skillset and expertise. I deliberately pitch too high in the start so I can get away with a good deal later.

The interviews are over, right now it is not guaranteed they will go with me. But assuming they give me an offer, I have a feeling they will offer me some where around $30/hr (just this rate, no other compensation) for this position which I am happy to accept.

The question is, when they offer me with a lower rate how should I deal with the situation so that I don't loose the position and get away with the best deal?

P.S The company is US-based with a development team spread all across the globe. I am from South Asia and even $30/h is a very big deal.
Yes, we are. The only surprising thing about this is that one wouldn’t prima facie expect a loan into any European language from a New Guinean language before the Age of Exploration, and this particular word went through more intermediate languages than usual. Other than those features, there’s nothing particularly unusual about this.

No we don't. There is no bonafide evidence of this.

"Following extensive adjustment for potential confounding factors there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality for vegetarians versus non-vegetarians [HR=1.16 (95% CI 0.93-1.45)]. There was also no significant difference in mortality risk between pesco-vegetarians [HR=0.79 (95% CI 0.59-1.06)] or semi-vegetarians [HR=1.12 (95% CI 0.96-1.31)] versus regular meat eaters. We found no evidence that following a vegetarian diet, semi-vegetarian diet or a pesco-vegetarian diet has an independent protective effect on all-cause mortality. "

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4691673/

"United Kingdom–based vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians have similar all-cause mortality."

I could provide many other studies as well.

You could then likely counter with many studies that suggest the opposite, which would mean that there is no conclusive, consistent evidence.

In my experience in Germany this was not the case at all. Sports clubs see youth work as a way to ensure their own future, not as a profit center. I suspect youth work is also often subsidized.
Mostly agreeing with you:

What is this fantasy that abolishing school will do for these kids? They won’t magically discover themselves, as we are all beholden to the normal distribution. At some point or another, your ass is going to have to wake up at 8am every day and get to a desk and sit for 8 hours (yes, even at your dream job at Google) with people you may or may not like, just so you can have a small afternoon on a Sunday walking the dog or watching a movie. That’s reality.

Childhood is already a massive fantasy. Half the reason why many adults are maladjusted is because they can’t get out of the fantasy of childhood. No, your parents won’t pay your bills. Yeah, you will have a boss. Mmmhmm, it’s going to suck and you are going to have to find a way to get along. Oh, and that competition and bullying you were worried about, multiply that by 100 at any well paying office job. Hi, welcome to the world, hope you have some experience dealing with people because shit just got real.

Learn that at the youngest age(s) possible, because the harsh reality is no one later in life is going to wait around for you to ‘figure it out’. The whole world will pass you by and no one will bat an eye.
Good luck getting spares, patched BIOS/firmware, patched DRAC, or anything else resembling support for that old Dell in a timely fashion.

And good luck selling to enterprises when the vulnerability scanner lights up like a Christmas tree with critical and un-patchable flaws on your switches/routers/UPS/PDUs/storage arrays/servers/door locks/cooling system/fire suppression/cameras. Double for the DR site. Because you need all that stuff, and you have to maintain it all 24x7 which means lots of salaries.

> if it was quick, simple and efficient, it would have insane inflation rates, or the entire space would be run through quickly, entrenching the majority of wealth with the early adopters and making it impossible for new players to enter.

Is this not true of proof of work mining already? The majority of wealth captured by miners appears to be going to those who were early adopters or with significant capital. Newcomers can enter and play at the fringes, but they cannot get seriously involved without large capital investment.

To be honest proof of stake looks no better for this at the monent. But no worse either, and at least the energy consumption is a vastly lower.
While I agree that the status quo isn’t stable and must change, I don’t think what you’re suggesting will be stable either.

The internet is one place where 99.9% compliance with a social norm or law isn’t good enough to prevent the remaining 0.1% from causing enough damage to be un-ignorable, even if you manage to get worldwide agreement on updating the law. (Consider that e.g. the UK does not have American freedom of speech, and if anything considers the American way of doing things to be strange and somewhat anarchic).

I sometimes wonder it would help if social media posts had to be deleted after a short period, perhaps a few months or a few years? (The pre-internet social media, being conversations and occasionally letters, was probably >99% forgotten in hours, and most of the rest was hearsay).

Or it would help, or make things worse, if it became easy for people to change identity?
Imagine if this happened in private enterprise, like at Google. The press would be all over it 24/7.

That would have been my intuitive guess--although, looking at that list, there are IMO some real stinkers in mid-Heinlein and a couple of decent books in late Heinlein. I suppose I'd be a bit hard-pressed to really draw a clear distinction between the two periods.

It seems that there's still some movement in the transflective screen space, but always in other devices.

If someone here in HN has the money and the willpower to do it, it would be more than enough to provide screen replacements for thinkpads and other popular laptops IMO.

I currently do some work in the outdoors. I love to somewhere surrounded by nature, open my laptop and use my phone as hotspot, but I feel the fatigue after some time.

A transflective screen for my x260 could be a game changer. A color e-ink with a decent refresh rate too (although improbable, but there's a community trying to make it real https://forum.ei2030.org/t/proposal-ei-2030-the-community-bu...).

Creepy Photos of Victorian People Posing with Dead Bodies of Their Loved Ones
Memento mori photography was a trend that came to be in the mid-19th century, which translates to “remember you must die,” was supported by photographers being commissioned at the time by families to photograph their deceased loved ones as a way to memorialize them. Post-mortem photography was also common in the nineteenth century when “death occurred in the home and was quite an ordinary part of life. Their photographs served as keepsakes to remember the deceased. While some people believe that this is just a myth check out this article by Edward Clint
Here's the source code for Kent Pitman's "DOCTOR" in MACLISP, which was of course inspired by ELIZA. (Joseph Weizenbaum taught Kent Pitman LISP!)

And here's what happened with he (manually by typing) hooked it up with Kenneth Colby's "PARRY" (the paranoid patient):

>Parrying Programs

>I didn't write the original ELIZA program, although my Lisp class was taught by Joseph Weizenbaum, who did. I later wrote a very elaborate program of similar kind, which I just called DOCTOR, in order to play with some of the ideas.

>At some point, I noticed there was a program at Stanford called PARRY (the paranoid patient), by Kenneth Colby. I understand from Wikipedia's PARRY entry that Weizenbaum's ELIZA and PARRY were connected at one point, although I never saw that. I never linked PARRY with my DOCTOR directly, but I did once do it indirectly through a manual typist. Part of my record of this exchange was garbled, but this is a partial transcript, picking up in the middle. Mostly it just shows PARRY was a better patient than my DOCTOR program was a doctor.
