One of my great fears in life is that employers/insurers will impose this en masse on people, causing immeasurable harm to the mental health of people who can’t handle the anxiety that this type of approach to medicine would cause. I’m definitely a big proponent of evidence-based medicine and using it to help living quality life as long as possible, but this sort of thing would just wreck my day to day existence and destroy my quality of life. I am not a server in a data center. I am a human with consciousness and emotions, the desire to live, and a fear of suffering and death.
China in 2000 and China in 2021 is like night and day in terms of standard of living, education etc. Just because it didn't work back then doesn't mean it wont work today.
Star Citizen has proven one thing to me, and that is that dreamers (Chris Roberts) who are developing incredibly ambitious need to be held in check by good PMs who are willing to push back when necessary. This thing has been developed for so long, and it seems like there's always excuses as to how there's something new to be added and that's why it's taking so long to even get to 1.0 status.
France's immigration policies (or, outsourcing them to people smugglers) are the fundamental failure here.

Parts of the country now appear indistinguishable from North Africa. As the demographics change, the rule of law and culture that made the country successful will also slip away.

The native French people should absolutely be mad about this. These people were brought in to 'solve the aging crisis', but instead are simply contributing to the burden of the welfare state.
There are tons of competent developers in Central and South America in time zones close to the US. The language/accent barriers as well as cultural differences are much less than say India IMHO. On average the folks I’ve worked with haven’t been as good as US staff, but I bet the gap could close quickly.
It's more like handing off Bob Ross paintings to an overachieving photorealist who promptly paints over them.
> I don't have much of an idea on how they plan to quantify doomscrolling via attention or audio events.

It seems that what they’ve done is told us exactly what data they will collect but have left it unanswered as to what specific social science methodologies they will use to analyze the data.

It is very likely that their intention is to not set that expectation with the data crowdsourcers so that the researchers have the flexibility to adjust their methodological approaches in an iterative fashion.
I assume everything I enter into a form is recorded, even if I don't hit submit. I'm surprised they were listening to onBlur instead of onKeyPress. Partial information could be exploitable too.
> Total remote control of the device allows quite a bit... disabling thermal protection, disabling fans, changing voltages on regulators to be out of allowed range, etc.

Having total remote control of an IoT device doesn't mean any of these things. Thermal protection is hardware driven typically on die, on cheap devices fan control is implemented in hardware because it's cheaper and easier than software solutions. Voltage regulators are hardware devices that aren't adjustable, even adjustable ones have a working range that is set via resistor. Switching power supplies aren't software driven.
Before there was a dense scientific paper. Now they've released an incredibly simple tool that lets anyone draw photorealistic images with simple strokes.

Saying that is repackaging something into an easier-to-use tool seems like quite a stretch. They didn't put a GUI on curl or something.
First part wrong. Doesn't make any sense to try to improve an office to attract devs when so many devs are leaving the office. Office space improvements would be expensive right now due to various factors: labor shortage, materials inflation, etc. Plus the cheaper move is to snap up fancier existing office spaces since offices are in lower demand now, thus the price of existing ones will have decreased.

Second part you have a point. This is the best time to move to the US on an H1B. If you're an int'l student, this is the time to look for that office job that will hold you till a green card.
Even 100% true positive rate would not guarantee improved patient outcomes with massive testing. This is grounded in a poor understanding of what improved patient outcomes are all about, which is fine with me but to see this so misunderstood is a bit disappointing.

Better tests do not automatically lead to better outcomes. They will lead to many more cancers detected, and they will lead to more interventions.

Just one example (there are many more): for many tumors the risk of the operation to excise it already outweighs the risk of the tumor itself leading to damage to the body.

The factors that govern whether an intervention is necessary are determined by the rate of growth, the risk of meta-stasis, the organ(s) affected, the stage the cancer is currently in (and here early detection would at least help to get a grip on that) and so on.

But once detected treatment is going to be the norm, and that's where the problem lies: treatments are not necessarily an improvement over having a mostly dormant cancer.

If you were to autopsy all of the cadavers from any given country for a period of time you would find a correlation with age and the presence of one or more tumors in that cadaver, even if the person never had symptoms and died of a completely unrelated cause. Treating all of these would have resulted in some of those people ending up in the morgue a lot earlier and having a reduced quality of life both from a medical and a mental health perspective.

Deciding to treat - or not - is not a simple matter.
Hey there, thank you for the feedback!

Yes, this is completely stiff, no flexible parts. I've experimented with a few gears and different distances between them. I've found that this herringbone gear works very well. I don't experience any visible backlash, but the gearing ratio also helps to suppress that.

I've printed everything from Hobbyking Premium PLA. Just as you've described, the rotation gets smoother after some wear. But even after 30-40 hours of use they still don't seem to become loose at all.

Securing everything on the bearing, there's no visible wobbling. I really recommend using a bearing if possible, it makes things so much easier. (:

Good luck with your project! (;

Also think about what about your career/work that you enjoy. You could change something up, a change is as good as a holiday as they say - try a new company, an adjacent role, hell if you don’t like your responsibilities could you step down a rung on the ladder? (I’ve done that)
This is such a hilariously American post. I realize most of this forum is American, but still. :-)
Not enough information here to know if they made the right call.

I can imagine situations where this is to the user's benefit and the company could handle the data ethically.

Example: Situations where the user would be likely to have very unreliable connection and be on the page with the email field for some time with other data entered that they wouldn't want to lose.

It might seem a bit contrived but I've had similar scenarios in the past.

EDIT - as others mentioned localStorage is a better solution for this problem.

Having to do mental gymnastics to understand somebody using wrong words is one thing. Not everybody has to know better.

Writing about a subject with completely wrong terminology/concepts and thus severely miseducating people is another. I can already hear people claiming all batteries are based on Lithium and contain 20% Cobalt.
But the same logic applies. Instead of innocent until proven guilty it's "not a new species" until there's sufficient evidence to establish that.

I'm dubious that they have that evidence, especially given their further unsubstantiated claims that they're ancestors of the neanderthals. The linked article discussed 0 evidence for why it's a new species. Presumably there's a published paper that goes into details.
They hope to use 50% recycled material. Unsure if Cobalt is part of it or if that is re-sourced.
> Each file had the same change - they had added code that makes an ajax saveEmail() call onBlur. In other words, email addresses were being saved to the database when a user inputs an email and the input loses focus.

> I told my client - apologies, but I don't want to work on this task because it's a dark pattern. And they reply - no, no, we are just sending people 3 email reminders. And then I try to explain that it's basically saving email addresses secretly.

Perhaps because this is a short post, but it seems to be missing context. The email addresses are saved, which may or may not be questionable. It's unclear whether there are any mechanisms to auto-remove the email addresses once three reminders have been sent.

It doesn't seem immediately obvious what the dark pattern is here. What am I missing?

> Look far north. The village doesn't have clean water, but the local chief has two hummers and brand new ATVs on the front lawn. Guess where your tax money went...

Source? I think this is a common argument and having lived among native reserves I have never seen it myself or seen reports of it. Feels like an urban legend crafted to justify not providing support, but willing to think differently if there’s evidence to support it.
Since 2017! I had no idea until now.

I guess that explains the access to computing power for all the notebooks.
As long as this is done in a professional way, with a sincere effort from engineers to understand the business requirements, I think refusing to do things that constitute user privacy or safety issues is a good and right thing to do.

Dark patterns are more borderline in many cases and I think the best approach is building a culture of respect for users that doesn't result in dark patterns, but in this case it looks to me like this was more than a dark pattern, it was an actual privacy violation.
The north of Sweden has abundant and reliable energy production indeed, the south of Sweden is struggling to meet its demands so companies that need a lot of energy don't want to take that risk. Work is being done to fix that, such as having more interconnections with the rest of Europe but it'll take a long time before it's fixed.

Also Albania simply doesn't have the infrastructure and the same access to a highly educated workforce that Sweden has.
if you send them all as a single transaction i.e one transaction with 6 million outputs, you would pay 1 transaction fee. However I dont think that is what is happening here. All the transactions are likely to made on the lightning network, which is a layer on top of bitcoin, designed to facilitate smaller transactions with lower fees.
Here's a take down -

From what i heard, they usually destroy every green on you garden first and only after that turn to slugs.
Opening 6M channels on lightning is not free. Not at all.

The teeth and jaw are actually one of the most distinctive parts of a skeleton - so it's not totally crazy. The shape of the teeth and size of the jaw muscles could easily identify something as being not modern human. But the article gave 0 evidence for why they believe it to be a new species, so I'm not convinced either.
I realize discussing politics here is pointless, but this is just so comically ignorant I have to reply.

1. Israel won its independence after barely managing to fend off the joint armies of seven Arab nations who invaded the Jewish area following UN partition decision, openly declaring they intend to wipe all Jewish presence. Almost all nations, US included, predicted Arabs will succeed and decided to sit it out. Comparing this to the history of Europeans and Native Americans is simply ridiculous.

2. The name Nesher comes from a cement factory on whose grounds the cave was found. The name Ramle comes from the city founded by the Umayyad dynasty shortly after Islam conquered the land from the Roman Byzantine empire, which conquered it from the Hashmonites, who conquered it from the Hellenic Seleucids, who took it from the Persians, who beat the Babylonians, who took it from the Judeans, who conquered it from the Cannanites etc. After the Umayyad, Ramle was controlled by the Crusaders, then the Mamluks, then the Ottomans, then the British and now Israel. So declaring a specific 18-19th century village in the area as the original "Native" of the place rather than all others who lived there is - simply ridiculous as well.

As an Israeli, I have no animosity towards Arabs. But I really can't stand Western idiots who don't have a slight clue about the Mideast, or anything really outside their incredibly sheltered existance, and see the whole thing as some stupid Hollywood good vs bad conflict.
Users expect forms to submit when the click the button. If they change their mind about signing up or purchasing something, they don't expect to get emailed if they didn't click the button. That's the dark pattern. Not the worst I've seen, but not great either.
Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is. It’s a type of coding that is much closer to actual artistic creation rather than engineering. The sheer amount of creative & engaging stories, puzzles, real-time strategies and on top of this entirely multiplayerable online allows for an infinite amount of types of entertaining creations… all made possible thanks to code.

Sure there’s untapped potential in all kinds of types of software; hell people are reinventing 2d design (think Figma etc) & issue management (newly released GitHub issues). But surely building “yet another react form” feels like coding an already solved problem.

What I mean is that gamedev has possibly the most untapped potential for coders wanting to make something truly amazing, with a sheer infinite amount of possible creations.

You’re not approaching the creation with the usual “what problem am I trying to solve” but rather “what’s the most fun thing I can build?”.

How is it overpaid? Engineers provide a lot more value than they are getting paid. If anything, people abroad are underpaid.
Do you have a citation to show that, in any US jurisdiction, a developer can be personally liable for the release of software with a security flaw while management at the same company can't be?
It is pretty obvious that helping your enemy become prosperous will reduce human suffering. The question is, will your enemy turn into a friend or just consider you a stupid sucker? Maybe we should do this and then assassinate the leader once the sentiment has shifted pro West. The goal isn't a better government, just a reason to "invest" into reducing human suffering.
Thats not true. The cost of the checkup are covered once before you turn 35 and every three years for anybody above the age of 35 [1]. Still, people have to be willing to do that checkup, make an appointment by themselves and so on.

Still, seeing what is and what isn't covered by public health insurance just seems so stupid. The focus on cure instead of prevention, and that not even particularly good. It's sad to see how much money goes to waste for useless treatments with something like homeopathy while people who really need proper treatment are stuck with the cheapest option that is paid for.

Once Perestroika liberalized their economy, they had distribution issues, sure.

But before then, housing, food, clothing all were cheap and available. The food was simple, the apartments small and the clothing dull, but it was all there and for very little cost.

https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP85M00363R0006014...

But they liberalized their economy in order to compete on the consumer goods boom in the West. That desire for consumer goods had a big role in destabilizing the system.

And today, the converse desire for cheap staples and necessities in the face of intense asset inflation may be destabilizing our current system.
As a fellow backyard raised bed hipster, part of the point for me is going out and tending it. I struggle to see the value in this unless it’s about scaling.
It's not easy to understand, especially from the blog post alone, but as far as I understand it, the proposition is the following: Big companies have the ability to do research on users all the time, either by doing anonymous studies or by tracking you for their ad networks.

This is a luxury many researchers that work outside of these big tech companies don't have, which creates a scientific power imbalance. Mozilla Rally is meant to give these capabilities to everyone, and the platform is meant to ensure that you always know what you sign up for and what data is being used.

If I understand the Princeton example correctly: They want to figure out how people consume and spread misinformation. Social networks like Facebook have all that data but won't share it. Now you can opt-in to a Rally study where independent researchers can examine the data.
Retaining a talented contributor who is bored of their daily job?

I think there's a very reasonable general expectation on the web that your data isn't used until you've clicked submit/save/etc. I don't think that this practice could be claimed to have "informed consent", even if the privacy policy mentions it explicitly.

You're right there are places where this sort of thing can be useful, but they're rare, and could even be handled client-side in many cases.

This is not something where the general public - or software developers, who seem to treat cancer as a bug that needs to be fixed - are going to be very helpful, I am more than happy to trust the medical establishment with this.

What would be a game changer would be rather than improved testing something that would destroy tumors in-situ in a non-invasive manner that does not involve radiation or attempts to poison the body just this side of death.
This article opens with a person experiencing burnout and choosing to leave a job where he needed to commute 1.5 hours per day, but the story isn’t really about people quitting work or leaving the workforce.

The majority of people resigning their jobs are simply changing jobs, and the article doesn’t provide any evidence that people are changing to remote work in large numbers.

The biggest driver of the increase in job changes is simply the booming economy. We poured stimulus money into the economy at unprecedented rates and this has created economic booms at every level. Companies are scrambling to hire and wages reflect this, so people are taking the opportunity to switch up their careers and collect a pay bump.

Most of the business world appears to be snapping back to business as normal at a rapid rate, but with a booming economy pouring fuel on the fire. The media has been pushing narratives that COVID changes everything and that we’re entering a whole new world, but aside from companies adding a little more flexibility it seems most are eager to simply return to business as usual.

On the ground, I’m not seeing a massive shift toward remote work like I keep reading about in these articles. Yes, there are somewhat more remote jobs, but companies are largely eager to return to in-office work. Even many employees I know are eager to get back to the office because remote isn’t for everyone.
One of your greatest fears in life is to be regularly checked for diseases that would end your life unless thy are detected in time?

...What?

e: you mean the emotional distress caused by the process? But that's just in your head, and it's beyond irrational. Getting checked is inherently a good thing. Even if you are extremely anxious, the people who love you want you to live - this is a psychological problem that you should work through, not one with the testing
For many of us it's actually been a wake up call about how important it is to be physically present with coworkers and a realization of how much the office actually does offer in terms of productivity and morale boost.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion here on HN threads about this situation. And all power to the people who love remote work.

But out of all the engineers I know personally and of all the people on my team and most of the other Googlers I've talked to off record personally in the last months... I'd say about 85%, 90% of them are eager for return to office.

So let's not assume homogeneity of opinion. Remote work is not for everyone. It may not even be the preference for the majority of us.
The dark pattern is capturing an email address even if someone doesn’t submit the form. Imagine you start a guest checkout, type your email address and nothing more, then close the window. That email would still get captured for marketing purposes. Because this isn’t what a user would expect, it’s considered a dark pattern.
I think its difficult to extrapolate this based on the success of a single game.

What is clear, is that the 30% commission charged by platform holders is absolutely stifling creativity and output, in apps and games.

Plus, the extra costs from VAT and refunds.

Friday Night Funkin's chief innovation is that it basically bypasses this by using Kickstarter to fund production.
You are probably referring to a different Nesher, some 69 km from the site (the cement factory near Ramle).

This makes the flame down here ridiculous.
I have no issue with that tbh as long as conditions are bearable (team room, flexible timing etc). I do prefer a good office+colleagues over a good home office tbh.
All this IOT business got off on the wrong foot.

We knew 20 years ago how vulnerabilities turn up.

So we've also known that designing something to withstand the hostile internet many years into the future would require an entirely different approach to software engineering than taking commodity software and flashing them in with some integration of custom bits. But nobody stopped the vendors and it was cheaper than the competent alternatives.
