Yeah I used 2019 the paragraph before and had a mental bit flipping mistake.
Sure, but this isn't an article about the mental health issues faced by trans people, it's an article about mental illness' role on the internet that uses DID, BPD, and trans people as the primary example of mental illness.
Perhaps they saw how the big national monopolies, like Siemens and BASF and Samsung, and Sanyo and . became stultifying nepotistic monopolies in various fields, and when faster and quicker more innovative US companies came along that ran past them - and seeing this, decided to have a way to limit these monopolies.

I think people disagree with each other all the time right now, but rarely ever actually listen. You can't update your view of the world based on feedback if you refuse to take the feedback seriously in the first place or think critically about opposing points of view.
I've never had a meter reader enter any house I've lived in, which would be somewhere around 15 different units. All gas/electrical/water meters are on the outside of the house/apartment whether they were smart meters or the traditional ones. Anyone can walk up to them and read them. The digital or analog dial readout is not locked/secured/obscured in any way.
I'm following up with the Doc.'s office. Among other things, I'm also worried about "algorithms" automatically adding a "fertility treatment" risk weight to my future health insurance quotes.

Disgust at LinkedIn aside, this is a real problem for me and others who've been tricked into sharing their contact info. How do I fix this now?
I meant that the current options for type checking are not good enough.
This is almost certainly not a capability of your meter as such, though the meter might be used to pass data back and forth. Either your thermostat is being controlled (i.e., via changing setpoints) or there's a device somewhere in your HVAC wiring that the utility can communicate with. What is for sure not happening is remote connect/disconnect in the meter used to shed load.
Haven't heard about LinkedIn trying to login using social media, but LinkedIn has a feature that does contact import.

LinkedIn asks me to sync my contact/address book information from another source. After the import runs they show you connections that match your contacts sometimes in the connections tab.

Have you trying using LinkedIn recently? Your comment sounds like it’s from a decade ago.
This seems highly speculative at this point.
>If you're following developments beat practices

Yeah, that tends to be where you run into issues...
I don't think it's only just an age thing, although that probably is a large part of it. I also think media outlets have gotten to what seems like a more partisan stance as a reaction to the other networks pulling farther and farther away from truth and hard science. And I'm not saying they haven't changed, that it's only the far right fringes pulling farther away, but that the changes are reactionary and pull left-ward because of that action.

Add in that youth tend to skew left and you get a bit of a perfect storm. I want to believe that the ecosystem is ripe for some sort of centrist, fact-based news reporting, but not sure there is a big enough audience, unfortunately.

And partly that is because the mainstream media outlets actually do a decent job of conveying the facts. It's just that it's 5min of every hour while the other 35 is talking heads "interpreting it for the layman". So if you're able to mentally sift through the bias and are willing to dig deeper yourself into other sources, you do get the basic information you need to become relatively fully educated. And I don't think that's the case these days with some of the more extreme networks.

edit to add: I fully support your main point of encouraging people to read papers for themselves!
Chargebacks are inadvisable in case there is digital content associated with the account. In every terms of service I've ever read there is a clause saying the consumer cannot perform chargebacks. They're likely to nuke your account for "fraud" if the bank reverses the transaction, potentially causing thousands of dollars in losses.
Oh, I see.

That only happens when app stores are competing for developers which is very much not the case. There are a million developers chasing a small amount of potential success, app stores could impose much more ridiculous conditions and still get more developers than they could ever want.

App stores also fund hardware. Ask a consumer if they want a device 50% more expensive or better terms for developers and guess what the outcome will be.

It only changes if there is a lot more competition or legislated terms for how these companies operate.
My overall point was how the roll of a mechanic is not really the right comparison to a software engineer.

There's always been factory repair manuals, and while repairs used to be something that were more common across brands and something more accessible to the weekend wrench turner, that doesn't change that the manufacturer had explicit guidance that was there to follow.

The "specialization" aspect of things from a mechanical standpoint is a by product of additional complexity and advanced proprietary systems. Consumers (and regulators) ask far more of a modern car than what could be delivered with simpler, purely mechanical systems. Whether it's safety, emissions, reliability, or just features, as those evolve and progress, repairs and maintenance get more complicated and involved.

>> We're building systems

> Someone has to maintain them

Software maintenance and vehicle maintenance is fundamentally different. Vehicles have wear items that need replacing (brakes, hoses, tires, etc), consumables that need to be changed (oil, lubricants, belts, coolant), and parts that are subject to mechanical wear. Systems don't have any of those things.

The closest analogs I can think of would be upgrading a dependency or maybe bug fixes.
While some bug fixes might be small changes to fix typos or incorrect logic, some bug fixes may be significant enough to necessitate redesign of subsections of the software. You wouldn't expect your mechanic to redesign your car's brake system because you found it wasn't stopping as quickly as you'd like it.

Need dev help to expand our free tutoring project
Hi hive, for the last year, my co-founders and I have been working on a free non-profit math tutoring project. This free tutoring project emerged from schoolclosures.org, a partnership of 300 volunteers and 80 orgs that served 100k families when schools closed in March.

We provide free, on-demand math tutoring to K12 students on zoom. We've had 600 kids and 500 volunteer tutors go through the program. As you may have heard existing learning disparities have been hugely exacerbated by Covid. It's been an invaluable resources to families who can't afford private tutoring, esp as we offer it in English and Spanish. We are at a point now where it's really tricky to meet rising demand scale this project without some tech help. We're a teacher (me), pre-med student (Julie) and math major (Elvin) so unfortunately we can't build it ourselves.

Wondering if there's a generous soul or two who could help us with two projects that would enable to scale this platform to reach thousands more kids.

We especially need support with two main projects. (Pardon me in advance if I'm not using the correct technical terminology)

1) Tag/label users as tutor or student on zoom and automate one-on-one breakout rooms so each has a tutor and student: Integrate with zoom to label tutors as tutors and students as students and automate breakout rooms so we don't have to do this manually. This would allow us to tutor many more kids at a time.

2) Build a KPI dashboard that's integrated with zoom and helps us to correlate student progress with tutors/attendance/retention etc. This is also critical to make sure we're serving the kids who need us most. Not only will this help us improve our program, but it will be invaluable to present to schools, government partners and foundations.

All of us (the three co-founders) are volunteers.

If you have the skills to do one or two of these projects or know someone who might, or if you might be willing to lend resources from your company, please contact me at manisha@masteryhour.org

You can also learn more about the project at masteryhour.org

BTW, this is a non-profit project. We have a fiscal Sponsor https://opencollective.com/masteryhour
They are using company owned assets, or devices that the company has an interest in. For example one of my former employers paid a percentage of your monthly cell phone bill as part of the BYOD program, which also involved you agreeing to turn over and unlock the device on request.

You can also be compelled by the courts to surrender a device that holds information relevant to a civil or criminal matter. For example sending text messages to a coworker on your personal phone about how you are going to coordinate your efforts to block someone's promotion.
Why does the HN headline say “landfill” while the original article says “artificial land”?

To me “landfill” implies trash/refuse disposal and “artificial land” implies infill of formerly wet/low areas. Not nearly all of the latter is the former.

That's INSANE. No wonder why they need chunky batteries!

Our Model 3 cruises at around 200 Wh/mi.

Also, the Model 3's climate control times out after four hours. But you'll get a notification when that happens and can re-enable climate immediately thereafter.

While I suspect in most cases (at least for smaller brands) making it hard to cancel pays off I 100% agree there is a measurement problem.

If you are optimizing for money made in the next month - or even next two years - then by definition making it hard to cancel will bring in more money. But it does hurt the brand long term (which is harder to measure)

This is exactly it. LinkedIn harasses you to turn this on every time you launch the app on your mobile. If you have their number in your contact list and you enabled this setting.

I don’t know about Android, but in iOS you can see if you have enabled access to contacts. It’s also totally feasible your contact info is in their phone and they enabled it (email address).

« Y a-t'il une vie hors des closures ? »

Le concept de "closure" est bien sûr d'une grande puissance mais je me permets de penser qu'on peut s'en passer, sous certaines réserves et en implémentant bien les fonctions anonymes. Par exemple :

- http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks/?view=unclosure

Not the first or last time we've tolerated Google pushing unwanted or intrusive apps without notification or permission.

Shield TVs also got an unwanted and unremovable update this week, (with auto-updates off) putting the Google ads at the top of the homescreen. "Disable app" & "uninstall updates" buttons only work once, before a reboot reinstalls the update, and "disappears" those two pesky buttons that you surely pressed accidentally. The result is "suggestions" for shows & movies you don't own, from platforms & apks you don't have installed. As far as I know, it was the last major holdout among Android TV boxes thanks to Nvidia.

I don't know if Google had much wiggle room from the authorities that "requested" the covid tracking be pushed, but being Google, I don't really suspect it made a difference to them.

Especially if the apk results in sending home more analytics, whether directly or indirectly.
That was hilarious i gave up at the slow scrolling cookie consent template. Thanks for the laugh !!!
Thanks for the ideas, I will be sure to implement them in my next project.
What I fear is that hostile behavior like this is actually not short-sighted. I suspect in many cases these companies are pretty savvy about how their business models work, and I suspect that they are correctly estimating that they will end up ahead both in the short term and the long term by making recurring payments easy to forget and difficult to cancel. I really don't see this sort of customer ill will being that effective at scale. I will probably never pay America's Test Kitchen one penny after hearing your review, but my impression is that they still have an excellent reputation. And do you really have great alternatives? Does Playstation not use the exact sort of hostile patterns as Xbox?
I was expecting the benny hill theme to eventually start playing, this is hilarious.
Happy to see this get some attention! I've been following it for the last 6ish years, and it's been cool to see their progress.

I think a few commenters are missing the point of this project. It's not a commercial robot and it's not meant to mass produce food. It seems maybe the use the word "farm" is being taken too literally. Their four stated applications are:

1. Education

2. Home use

3. Research

4. Accessibility

This is the description from their white paper [0]:

> The vision of this project is to create an open and accessible technology aiding everyone to grow food and to grow food for everyone. The mission is to grow a community that produces free and open-source hardware plans, software, data, and documentation enabling everyone to build and operate a farming machine.

This sort of wishy washy argument (seemingly accepted by generally educated/reasonable people on HN) is the reason that society is so scientifically illiterate. It has nice sounding arguments that embed themselves into your thought patterns but zero real substance. Articles like this are how you get hordes of people to believe something without cause. The next time you see someone act "bad" online, you'll be able to excuse yourself for thinking, "that person has 'psychological issues'" instead of thinking any deeper. You saw an article about that, after all.

The plural of anecdote is not evidence.
I'm not a particularly big fan of Kid Rock, for a number of reasons. But he and a few artists had started doing things to thwart scalpers.

Namely, he'd announce tours slowly. And basically the strategy was that as scalpers bought out shows, he'd add another show in the same city. And keep doing that until there was no demand, no resale market, so scalpers were forced to sell at face or near face value. "I can keep throwing dates at you, and you're paying for the seats, so it doesn't hurt me, but no-one will buy them from you".

Eventually the scalpers learned to not, or minimally resell his tickets.
What if the followup procedure is invasive and expensive? It's possible that this procedure could be net negative in aggregate depending on the % of false positives and # of resulting needless followup procedures. Not to mention the emotional stress.

I've found watching someone else code is immensely helpful and I was looking for more content like this. I saw some recommended in a different thread, so I thought I'd ask the broader audience.

Most of the content I see is aimed towards beginners so I was looking for context for experienced developers.
Another user asked me how I was doing this in the (I guess now deleted) post about MS Teams using WebView2, so put this together.

We're building software for shops with poor internet connectivity, and a number of machines on the same LAN, so came up with this to enable an order kiosk (think McDonalds) to send the order to the til, and update the Til's UI, which then sends data back (if that makes sense).

Figured others may find it useful, all dotnet core etc.
This was a well known fact during the years 2012 - 2015. It's not like it was hidden. LinkedIn asked you to enter your GMail password in a form on their website. It didn't require any sleuthing – you just had to log into LinkedIn and you could see for yourself.

The reason they implemented it that way is because Google did not yet provide APIs to facilitate contact import. As Google adopted more secure standards like OAuth, LinkedIn started using the official GMail API features like "import contacts," rather than logging into your account on your behalf.

People underestimate just how far privacy/security have come since 2013 (pre-Snowden), when even major websites still used HTTP on their payment portals. Someone could sit in a coffeeshop with FireSheep and alter your Amazon order. Privacy enhancing features like OAuth, TLS, and 2FA have only become widespread in the last 7-8 years.

Agreed, I think this sentiment is along the lines of "political correctness run amok" which is a completely subjective interpretation of changing social norms. Whereas I think the article is discussing how some use the impersonal void of social media as an outlet for their anxiety, etc.

Personally, I try to limit the amount of time I spend on such websites, and HN is really the only place I read the comments (in moderation). Consuming everyone else's anxiety is unproductive, because it skews how I view the world (and the people in it), and raises my blood pressure. :)

EE drop out here:

An EE degree will absolutely help you pick out components for a circuit.

Computers and digital logic lend themselves towards a sense of everything being deterministic and understandable.

Analog electronics, radio waves, radio wave propagation- I've heard all of those described by EE's (with degrees) as essentially black magic. It isn't black magic obviously, but I think much of those issues end up driving people to experiment with physically building things instead of relying solely on paper. This is just my impression. I think antenna simulation has gotten better recently for example.

Another weird thing about EE, that seems to break what many (including me) expect it to be.. it feels like assumptions and approximations layered on top of one another. Take a simple diode. It has a certain current/voltage curve, but what I was taught about designing with them, is that generally you would use an approximation of the curve. Not the actual curve. Oftentimes, in lab, we would treat the voltage drop across a diode as being independent of current, which is absolutely false! But that is the way that EEs think of diodes, because it works! It's a game of learning what assumptions can be made to simplify analysis.

You might want to try this for learning about electronics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Electronics

You know, that's a great discussion to have at another time.

Is it growing exponentially? Personally, I'd say that changes at the margin are becoming smaller. I think that the difference between 1940-1980 is much greater than 1980-2020.

As an aside, it's funny how static music has been for years. There are numerous bands that sound like they would have been reasonably successful in 1970 (and visa versa). 1920 vs 1970 is a whole 'nother issue.

>thing we decided is important for us to measure and increase

This is a great explanation, and I just wanted to nitpick that for some KPI's (e.g. percentage of defective components, or latency), you would aim to "decrease" the KPI, and in some rare instances, you'd want to keep the KPI within a range (e.g. resource utilization, or inventory size, when you want a predefined amount of buffer).
Works just fine, I can read it all and post a screenshot as proof, you gotta use it properly. But it might depend on location and IP.

Did you register just to leave this remark? How odd.
The URL slug says "landfill", too. The title was probably changed by the publication after it was published.
