Black Mirror's Fifteen Million Merits is entirely an exercise in this.

"Gee, the apparent pointlessness of these jobs sure is dystopic, huh?" pauses, stares significantly straight at the audience

"Turning every little thing into a carefully-metered financial transaction sure is dystopic, huh?" pauses, stares at audience

"These screen-centric disconnected lives sure are dystopic, huh?" stares at audience

"Really horrible how they shit on the infirm or those who otherwise fall out of society and don't take their pointless jobs seriously enough, huh? I mean, what an awful system, right? Why, this is so obviously terrible and evil that it'd never exist in real life, in such a blatant way. Just ridiculous." stares at audience, judging them

"Amazing how this society's mass media so effectively and complete captures and commercializes dissent, isn't it? How awful!" stares at audience

"All these people could have just left and gone off into the forest instead of participating in, being ground down by, or willfully perpetuating this nonsense, and didn't just because that's scary and unfamiliar? What kind of cowards and/or monsters must these people be?" stares loooooong and hard at the audience
Really mostly convention. Yes you could label it that way, but people consider it to be enough of it's own thing to not do so. (+ there is some value in not conflating the two because they do have different threat models etc and users should treat them differently too)
really? It’s not like this would cost more than 5K usd each. It doesn’t have to be military grade this is not much more than a DJI drone with better firmware and a micro railgun
Airlines really do work on the thinnest or margins. I've seen a few Youtube videos on the topic but it's basically why you see zero startup airlines, it's basically impossible. The immense startup cost and operations cost coupled with the fact that your competitors are 100x bigger and can crush you like a bug.
A New Approach to Metrics
I've a 'teather fudster' for a number of years and that's why I'd be hesitant to open a short right now. Finex have kept the wheel spinning for a remarkably long time, there's no point spending money to wait while its just wobbling given how quickly a short can be opened, once it hits 0.85c or so though then that would indicate to me that its all about to be over very quickly.
I'm not suggesting a flying platform... but a ground mounted one moved into place by a human.

A lot of us who are skeptical of Tether think it poses systematic risk to the whole crypto ecosystem, so selling it short for other crypto would defeat the purpose. Is it possible to convert the USDC to actual USD while maintaining the USDT borrow, or is it required as collateral?

Instead of shorting USDT directly, I'm short a public market company which I believe will drop if Tether blows up (it's a pretty junky company, so it's already a profitable trade). If I could convert that to a direct USDT short without crypto exposure, I'd do it.
It makes me much more optimistic than I had been about Amazon seeing the issues described in detail.

There is a fundamental problem with warehouse employees being viewed as expendable, but most of the problems we’ve heard about seem to be infrastructure related, understaffing, and communication related.

If they keep at it they might pull themselves out of last place. But without fundamental shifts in approach I don’t see them becoming better than a not terrible place or even mediocre to work.
It probably is contextual, no? For example:

I would think it's fun little icebreaker if you are applying for a position making cute iOS games.

However if you are applying for a position developing power-plant control systems it's a bit inappropriate.
Because you cannot bet against irrational things. Would rather throw money into things with higher conviction, lower risks, albeit with much lower potential returns.
Whether they kill you with a remote-controlled drone, an autonomous drone, some manned platform, or just a man is orthogonal to whether the decision to kill you is based on privacy invasion and inscrutable threat detection algorithms.

Yes, this is a small impulse approximation, which assumes that astronaut jump velocity is small compared to orbital velocity.

"Apple reserves X18 for its own use. Do not use this register."

Interesting. I wonder why that particular one. It's not exactly in the middle of the range. Maybe they searched for typical existing use and decided that was the least likely to have some conflict?
This disease has a striking resemblance to the history of Lyme's disease transmitted by ticks. The symptoms last for years. The original bacteria is treated with antibiotics and cleared up. Ongoing treatment of antibiotics can help with the symptoms. Just as with Lyme's disease, the scientific community has been dismissive of patients suffering with long term affects.

Because if Tether is defying gravity now, there's no way to be sure it won't defy gravity even harder before it collapses.

With a short, you can't just be right in the end, you have to find a way to not blow up if things get more irrational in the meantime.

At Appsmith, we use:
- Website and Blog hosted on Webflow

- ActiveCampaign for email automation and tagging of lists (typically one off emails like churn prevention or onboarding campaigns etc).

- Reply.io for engagement emails

- Segment for data pipes

- Mixpanel for product analytics, which feeds data back to ActiveCampaign for campaigns

- Integromat for some integrations.

- Canva for some basic images, templates etc.

- Google Analytics (for website traffic analysis, SEO etc)

- Asana + Slack for project management and alerts. Grammarly for well, grammar.

- Appsmith for dashboards and workflows. Ex. how we used Appsmith + Reply + ActiveCampaign to make a churn prevention engagement workflow https://blog.appsmith.com/connecting-mixpanel-replyio-and-ac...

We're now thinking of moving away from ActiveCampaign to Hubspot for marketing automation soon (90% off 1st year pricing for small startups)

Because they will do everything to liquidate you, at one point price of tether briefly hit 1000$ on kraken.
I can’t lie, if you spend most of your time in Windows, there’s probably diminished reasons to understand manpages, but for those that do any degree of meaningful work on a Linux or Unix (e.g. macOS) system, not knowing how to navigate man pages separates entire classes of developer professionalism to me.

It’s night and day working with people who know how to be approachable in development, but also realize you need to understand some basic flags for everyday tools and not turn to Google or Stack Overflow for what is directly in your manpages.

Admittedly those who cannot stay approachable concoct all sorts of shell hell for everyone, even those who are experienced.

Excellent question, by the way. I wish we’d get some more candid questions like these on HN when relevant to the thread, like this one. It’s a learning opportunity for all readers.
Exactly - .info and .biz are forever etched in my mind as nothing but scams and spams. I know it has spread beyond that but the original usage was highly tilted toward those.
It was more of an ad network, no? Also I think it shut down.

I'm talking about something even simpler than that. I have my own website and I have my own advertisers who want to put ads on it. I need a way to serve them and do contextual targeting (e.g. stories about a certain topic) and frequency capping and forecasting and the other sort of basic stuff I expect from Google Ad Manager.
Not disagreeing at all with your well expressed point, but: I wrote code to fully utilize the machines I had at the time. When new systems became available, the code needed to be re-written to fully exploit the new just as much as it needed to be de-crufted from the obsolete.

Code that has been functional, untouched, for decades has a nobility; but a job that has been worth re-coding the solution every few years is actually important.
It's worth noting that this line of reasoning has been used to justify the invention of machines that ended up causing many more deaths than before. Richard Gatling was inspired to invent the Gatling gun as a way to reduce the number of deaths by combat. His logic was that if could replace the lines of musket-wielding infantry with a small team that could fire just as many rounds, the number of soldiers an army would require would drop, and therefore the number of combat deaths would drop as well. This line of reasoning was proven wrong, as the deployment of Gatling guns simply caused more causalities in the American Civil War, and the gun's descendants enabled the mass slaughter in the First World War.

Similar logic was applied to bombers in the Second World War. If bombers could fly into enemy territory, hit key targets behind enemy lines and fly out, then the need for armies would go away. Instead we got The Blitz, the firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden, and the deadliest war in history.

Maybe this time is somehow different, but it's an important historical context to consider. Often the expansion of our destructive capabilities simply encourages more destruction.
If workers are overworked because the workload is too large, filtering prospective hires more could make turnover worse. Many hands make light work.
When Rust editions reach about 5 in the wild, feel free to prove me wrong by mixing binary crates compiled with two Rust compilers, mixing three editions into the same executable.

Surely some "unique" identifier is required for each TCP session between Apple and the exit node so that Apple knows where to send the data it gets back, even if it's just the port on which Apple connect to the exit node as with standard TCP session management.
I think the latter. For what it's worth, the 'arms' that are still protected by the 2nd Amendment are still approximately the same as in 1787 (line of sight, bang bang), as you're legally restricted from owning guided bombs, cruise missiles, nuclear weapons, etc, but even aside from that, you're practically restricted because of limited availability and/or extreme cost.

On the flip side, the hardware for Slaughterbots is basically here: TinyWhoops cost ~$100, say ~$100 to upgrade the ARM processor to one that can process realtime video, ~$100 for a shaped charge. So the hardware is super cheap, and once developed, the software to tie it all together has nearly no incremental cost. Once it's out there, that's the genie leaving the bottle.
This is an interesting statement. Do you have links to something more I can read? Who thinks dating sites are morally reprehensible?

It really is quite obvious- the funny thing is the USD/Federal Reserve has been running the same scam for decades (expanding the money supply with no backing) and it's just as obvious
The problem is not just with "belief", but in the process itself. Non-replicable studies are actually cited more than replicable studies:

https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/21/eabd1705

Science journalists probably are vulnerable to the same thing influences that lead scientists to do this, except they have even less review on their claims and so they become pop culture sound bites.

As for why non-replicable results are cited more, I'd speculate that non-replicable results are often more unintuitive and surprising, and per the above link, reviewers apply lower standards on these papers in the hopes of finding something truly interesting and/or exciting. Not just in the results mind you, sometimes papers also apply a novel methodology that might be worth wider discussion. I'm not sure that's worth the reduction in credibility though.
Same here! Was expecting speculative implementation or comparison how their setup would be and what kind of algorithms etc there could be.
The liquidity on most crypto exchanges comes from USDT. If Tether goes down, I don't believe exchanges are going to let me liquidate my positions. At least not before insiders can do that.
I used PowerShell as my main shell for a few years (before WSL existed). My experience is that it's extremely tedious having to relearn every command 'the PowerShell way' if you already know your way around standard Unix commands (and I wasn't exactly a Unix guru either). When WSL dropped I switched and haven't looked back.

The only PowerShell tool I did love was posh-git [0]. Thankfully, someone has ported it to bash/zsh as posh-git-sh [1].

Same reason we believed eggs will give you heart disease. Science reporting is terrible and the general education system doesn't teach rational skepticism, it teaches unconditional trust of intellectual authority.
> I feel like I'm writing an evil roadmap here, but, you can even do multiple root certs with different names and trust them all, do a whole "fake" PKI infrastructure which would be impossible to detect unless you were comparing the actual keys.

Yeah, just imagine being beholden to some federal statue impropriety (easiest in taxes) and running one of the these vpn organizations...

Which would barely make any sense.
It makes managers look good on paper.
Because it makes no difference to my assurance-level which button I click. There's no way of knowing what they do serverside with your form submission (and it nearly always is a form submission).

Cookie approval has to be under the control of the user, not the website. So it has to be done by the browser or an extension. So if I have user-controlled cookie-approval, I might as well click "OK" on the form - the site might treat me better if I do.
Would have posted exactly this if you hadn't already. So many pitfalls with M1 in the way Apple subtly veers from normal ARM64 conventions and the published spec. This guy has already figured them out for you. Also helpful to look at the XNU source code to see how they implement syscalls.
I like this game because it is a bit mysterious, but I seemed to quickly hit on a strategy - start towards the centre, make 3x3x3 triangles, ignore blue - which wins more or less every time. Blue could counter that but doesn't.

Exactly. The culture of "no" and control-freaks trying to shackle others into thinking down a linear path. This often leads to ideological homogeneity and pushes a large fraction of people away, amplifying homogeneity.

Instead of downvoting or flagging for merely disinterest or disagreement, perhaps there should be some sort of helpful "hide button" in the form of a plus-to-minus sign next to "parent"?
Yow. Amazon prisons, maybe?
Here's a list of reasons I think the American public has such huge problems with indoctrination:

- The vast majority of people enjoy indoctrination and very few people will say "hold up" when presented with a story that doesn't line up with other stories or that seems synthetic. This is partly because doctrine is designed and evolved to be salient, and partly because many people have not experienced an environment of truth, where things make sense, that could give non-sensemaking a contrasting emotional character.

- There are occasional isolated incidences of powerful interests wanting very badly that the public stay uninformed, but no counterbalancing incidences of similarly powerful interests wanting the public to be informed. This averages out to a downward pressure, even though each instance is brief and each power incomplete.

- Even when people want to be informed, they will usually be satisfied with the synthetic feeling of being informed, and stop there. Realizing that what you think is informing you is actually wasting your time takes a humility and emotional fortitude only present in the strongest, most humble, and most epistemically virtuous people. Consequently it is rare for people to realize it.

Which issues did you run into? .NET 5 is the same across all operating systems, modulo access to winforms/wpf if you're on windows only.
It's annoying when search results throws everything at you: youtube videos, images, product carousels, etc. Probably they should add new section to search "text only" and ignore "rich" media results. Also related suggestions boxes after returning to search results gets old fast and are not useful at all. I need to get to next result in list, not start a new search.
Religious biases don't count as valid moral objections. Religion has a strong negative effect on critical thinking skills (1, 2).

It would be nice if there were a tool of some sort where I could type a search term and on two halves of my screen the results from Google Search and from DuckDuckGo would appear… after trying that for a month or two, one would be better informed how the results differ, and be more confident about switching (one way or the other).

I've had the idea for a while of writing for myself such a tool (probably can't be a browser extension?), but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Does one already exist, or is trivial to write?

As I type this comment, I found that at the commandline on macOS one can do, say:

open -a "Google Chrome" "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=umbrella"
open -a "Google Chrome" "https://www.google.com/search?q=umbrella"

(or whatever your usual browser is) and it's easy to wrap that in a script:

function search() {
open -a "Google Chrome" "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$*"
open -a "Google Chrome" "https://www.google.com/search?q=$*"
}

This (invoke like say `search freddie mercury`) opens two tabs and I haven't yet figured out how to open them in side-by-side windows, but maybe I'll try for a few weeks to be disciplined about doing all searches this way, and see how it goes. Seems worth finding out!

It looks like using only old technology we can detect the signal and identify it as a artificial signal, but it would be very hard / impossible to decode.
I'm someone who's highly skeptical of Tether, but has no interest in shorting it. Here's a few reasons why:

1) I'm pretty confident Tether will collapse, but I have no idea when that will actually happen. The old saying is that "The market can remain irrational longer then you can remain solvent"

2) I'm not an expert in cryptocurrency shorting, but the scenario you stated involved shorting Tether against other cryptocurrencies. Since Tether is heavily integrated with the rest of the crypto market, if Tether falls, it will likely heavily impact the rest of the market. It may be possible to make money off of that, but it would also be possible to lose money if you time things incorrectly.

3) It's not all about the money. I'm making plenty of money at my day job, and feel confident in my existing investments. I don't need to spend my time gambling in the crypto market.
How about a change to how we choose to live as a world and make them illegal to build, enforce those laws strictly, etc. The fact we live in a world where arms is a hyper-profitable amoral (at best) industry doesn't mean we should or have to.

Do you even need to counter recoil if you only want to get off one shot?
Respectfully, vast majority of searches in DDG will still end up with no instant answer and ten (Bing) blue links. Stocks, weather and calculator.. get you only so far (and are not "searches").

This sounds somewhat similar to symptoms I am having. Currently on a 5 month journey trying to get a diagnosis.

I have abdominal pain, headaches, high blood pressure with periodical orthostatic hypertension (my blood pressure goes up in the standing position; it is supposed to go down), tremors, tachycardia, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, constipation or diarrhea, severe sleep disturbances, muscle spasm and cramps, hot flushes, cold hands and feet, and I have some episodes of euphoria, panic attacks and paranoia.
Same as you I have some days where I feel just fine.

I have had the same experiences as you when it comes to doctors, they do a lot of tests, the tests come back inconclusive and then they just shrug. At least I have a nice GP that says that he has no clue what is wrong with me but that something is definitely wrong.

So far we have done a lot of blood work, various urine and stool samples, CT-scan and MRI of abdomen. The only thing they have been able to find so far is slightly elevated noradrenaline/norepinephrine levels (three times) and some cysts on my left kidney.

The elevated noradrenaline could be because of a pheochromocytoma (adrenaline producing tumor), but when I have done the 24-hour urine test for that it comes back negative.

The only thing that I have found to work is to eat a low tyramine diet which seems to greatly reduce the symptoms, though not completely remove them.

It might not be the same as you are having problems with, but I do see a lot of similarities.
