I have the sense that for people increasingly unable to afford a house or an automobile, an expensive mattress is being presented as the next-more-affordable luxury.

To me, an old R&D principle applies: If you are going to spend so much on a piece of custom hardware that you will be afraid to admit it was a mistake or lacked essential features, better to experiment a little with something simpler first.
Can you be underestimating how sound propagates in silent environments, and our brains are so efficient at filtering background noise?

Since the pandemic started, traffic around my home decreased tremendously and, even smallest traffic became bothering. In sparsely populated areas, that oddball sound is much more disturbing to residents which are used to silence.

BTW, getting angry to people who we don't know personally is not very productive IMHO.
I've come across places that have a concept of "core hours." Basically, everyone must be physically present in the office between 10am and 3pm Monday through Friday, and all meetings must be scheduled between 10am and 3pm. People are expected to work roughly 40hrs per week, and you could work some of them from home, or over the weekend, but if your output was better than your peers, you could put in less hours and nobody would call you out.

Seemed to work great. The early birds would come in early, people with kids could take off early, the night owls could come in a little later, and everyone had some blocked off time to get some focused, individual work done without meetings.

> write down the issues

I used to think the only purpose of writing things down is so that I don't forget, but I knew I could remember so I didn't write stuff down, and usually I did remember.

Writing stuff down serves another, more important, purpose though. It allows you to forget. After you write it down, you can let it go, free your mind, and know it's physically waiting for you on Monday.
You can find lots of research on it but first, between 85-90% of actively managed investment funds underperform their benchmark:

https://www.ifa.com/articles/despite_brief_reprieve_2018_spi...

That means it is very, very hard to outperform.

Then, if you do outperform, that tends to be an exceptional year followed by not so great results.

You're being downvoted, but you're right. There's a reason that first amendment free speech protections apply to the government, and not private actors. And there's no "...unless they get big enough" exception, despite what some seem to think.

The government regulating what speech private platforms may allow or ban is textbook authoritarianism.

If a private group wants to permit anything that's not outright illegal, or if they want to have very strict rules on what's allowed, either of those should be fine. And if a company is being overly and unreasonably restrictive about rules, that's a perfect opportunity for a disruptor to enter the fray. The very fact that attempted disruptors constantly get slapped down is a good indication that the rules some complain about aren't nearly as unreasonably as they appear. If the market opening was really that big, someone would be able to make it happen effectively.

I say misleading because there are soulless corporate stooges of exactly this kind in every race, gender perhaps less so. If you want to see a more egregious display of government/corporate corruption, you can find that in places like Southeast Asia, Africa (Angola, for example), some countries in South America, etc.

But more to the point — in this case specifically — it's just not a very helpful or distinctive description. "Middle-aged white men" own many companies and occupy many government positions in Europe, yes. But using that as a unique descriptor is pointless. Many "middle-aged white men" mine coal for a living or work hard mechanical labor jobs and are destitute. I'm sure that many "middle-aged white men" were the employees cheated out of jobs or higher wages by Booking.com.

Say you went to China and observed government corruption. If you said "middle-aged Asian men completed the unsavory deal" in an article on the topic as if it were some shocking revelation, I'm sure most would be confused as to why you thought that descriptor/qualifier was necessary or relevant.
Occasionally salting in some verifiable bits is the "limited hangout" part. As TFA concedes, everyone who cared knew where these were already. Perhaps such people had mistakenly assumed that security was effective.

This law is clearly misguided, but let's start the conversation. Isn't an organisation controlling an algorithm that prioritizes news items essentially doing editorial work? Shouldn't it then have similar responsibility as a newspaper?
This sort of comment is frustrating. How many times has XYZ site had broken search? It seems to _not_ be a trivial problem still.
those things can be true and still not negate the issues mentioned, since not enough information is provided to make a fair assessment. it can be set up a certain way, but the incentives are against that, so is it actually set up that way? iframes aren’t perfectly isolated either. and without a curve of false positive vs. false negative rates, no conclusion can be made of the optimality. even 0.005% is still likely hundreds of thousands a day for larger sites, and being only a demonstration means it’s an ideal measure, not a practical one.
Perhaps you could take the energy you apply to becoming a better engineer and apply it to something unrelated that gives you variety in life and indirectly benefits your job, since it is your passion. For instance, you could set a lofty fitness goal and spend the years it may take figuring out how to get there. It would give you something else to enjoy, and improving your health would probably improve your productivity at work, too. Also, improving your health and fitness can unlock new opportunities for things you could do, so you may find new hobbies that you never would have considered before. It's also possible you could meet people outside of your line of work if you're exercising in a social setting like a spin class, etc.

Good luck finding your right balance!
Now I'm wondering about disrupting sleep for the techy crowd. Perhaps some kind of stand up bed.
Celibacy imho plays a significant role in this. In other churches, you can get normal people to join, because they can still live relatively normal lives, get married, have kids, etc.

With celibacy, you immediatly dismiss all people who wish to live relatively "normal" lives, and get a lot more outcasts into the organization.

Add to this a relatively easy access to children, the higher ups giving protection to criminals, and you get where we are now.
Single young men could all choose to come into the office five days a week and rocket up the firm, while employees with young children, particularly women, who choose to WFH for several days each week are held back.

I don't see how this is solved by managers refusing to allow workers a say on when they're going to work from home given what's already been said for ages, long before the pandemic about women and their struggles to get promoted at a rate commensurate with their male peers.

This would be both a diversity loss and a legal time bomb for companies.

Doesn't that assume you _have_ all of the emails on your device on order to search them?

I know for a fact, Gmail on my phone doesn't have the ~15 years of email in my account downloaded. I bet that would take significantly longer to download than the actual search would would take to perform.

If the things to be searched aren't already on the client, a client side search doesn't seem too useful to me, regardless of how much compute power you have.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Section 230 of the CDA entails[1]:

> Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider"

What Section 230 says is that all providers of interactive computer services are not liable for user content. That's it. It doesn't matter what the interactive computer service does, or publishes or doesn't publish. If you're a provider of an interactive computer service, you're shielded from liability for user uploaded content.

[1] https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230
> I'm not an expert on this by any means, but isn't this an admission that these companies act like publishers? Yet they have Section 230 protection?

Having some standards doesn't automatically make you a publisher. A site with user-uploaded videos that removed, say, all porn, would not make itself a publisher.

Now, obviously there's the question of, how many restrictions until you're a publisher? I'm not sure the law is clear on that.
Sometimes people confuse effort with security. You could build a fortress with eight foot thick reinforced concrete walls but it's not secure if you leave the back door open.

No doubt google puts in heroic efforts to make sure that nothing that doesn't make them money gets access to your private data.

Please go into detail on how this law is not authoritarian.
It means the publisher can be sued for libel and not just the random nobodies with no power.

Blocking questions should be an absolute exception in any case, even if the person who can answer them is just down the hall. It's on engineering management to organize work and documentation practices so that people can find answers on their own.

A few weeks after my partner's mother died, we were looking at a photo album. I was surprised at some of the pictures of her -- playing at the beach, singing, serving friends at a dinner party -- happy and vital. I realized that in my memories of her from years before I was picturing her as she was in the months before she passed. Wizened, exhausted, confused. My memories of her were ugly and grotesque, and I had been avoiding them.

I spent the rest of that evening, recounting to myself, with help from my partner, my history with her mother and recovering memories of how she looked and acted over the years I had known her. How she laughed when she was tipsy, how glorious she was when she and her husband were singing a particular song to each other. How she dressed when my partner got her doctorate. How thrilled she was to welcome someone even when she could no longer recognize who she was welcoming.

I still felt her loss from my future plans and expectations, but the loss of her that I had imposed on my past was gone. Since then I've found some people distort their memories in this way and many don't. I'm glad I discovered what I had been doing and stopped it.
Amusing that you think state enforcement of the first amendment on a "neutral platform" is authoritarian while you're perfectly fine with trillion dollar tech monopolies who abuse antitrust law and defamation law lording over the internet and limiting speech in the process, targeting and favoring one political party over another. It doesn't take too much self reflection to understand if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd be the one pulling for the state to "do something about it".
> Now, obviously there's the question of, how many restrictions until you're a publisher? I'm not sure the law is clear on that.

As a provider for interactive computer services, you're afforded unlimited restrictions on the content you choose to serve. Section 230 of the CDA applies to all interactive computer services and their providers, no matter what.

From the EFF[1]:

> Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230). In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do. The protected intermediaries include not only regular Internet Service Providers (ISPs), but also a range of "interactive computer service providers," including basically any online service that publishes third-party content. Though there are important exceptions for certain criminal and intellectual property-based claims, CDA 230 creates a broad protection that has allowed innovation and free speech online to flourish.

Facebook doesn't want to be in the theme park ownership game, but it would be kind of hilarious if they either bought NBCUniversal or just bought Universal Studios theme park out of NBCUniversal.

You're basically suggesting that politicians should be above the law on these platforms, immune to rules, because they're politicians. Do I need to explain how bad that is?

If a politician breaks the rules, ideally they should be subject to the same rules anyone else is, and the same goes for any other rich or famous people. Obviously in practice that's going to be a hard target to hit, but for God's sake we shouldn't make it an explicit goal to make them a special class that can do whatever they want with impunity.

> "3D printing is really a subset of autonomous technology and robotics."

I'm confused, is this an objectionable statement? A lot of people seem to treat 3d printing as something truly special and unique, but actually 3d printing is a form of CNC; additive rather than subtractive like a CNC mill, but a form of CNC nonetheless. It's a technology firmly rooted in a broader tree of established technologies.

I guess some people think of these machines as printers foremost, and thus perceive a huge conceptual jump or paradigm shift from 2d desktop inkjets to 3d printers. If somebody comes from a computer background rather than a manufacturing background, it's easy to see why this framing might be chosen. But I don't think that's the right way to look at 3d printers. Rather, 3d printers are the synthesis of two already well established concepts in manufacturing: making things by adding material, and controlling machines using computers.

Edit:

> Wouldn't 2D printers then also be a subset of autonomous technology and robotics?

The modern familiar forms of 2d printers are such a subset, yes (and I never implied otherwise.) These machines were preceded by other forms of 2d printing which are not autonomous but were nonetheless mechanical. They were also preceded by autonomous forms of 2d printing that didn't fit inside your living room, but were nonetheless familiar technology to the general public (because everybody knows books exist.) I believe this is the reason 2d printing is generally considered more mundane than 3d printing, which is treated like sci-fi technology that came out of left field. Again, understanding the historic context of these machines gives us insight into the reasons they are perceived the way they are.

I've used fastmail for 20 years and Im very happy about it. Before that I used telnet to a server and running pine. While traveling in India I got fed up by the lag so I decided to try out this web-mail thing that everyone was talking about. I came across an Indian IT magazine that compared all the big players at the time, and fastmail came up on top. Easy choose, never liked big corp anyway. I've since tried out most alternatives, buy nothing could match my need as well as fastmail. Thumbs up!
