I snagged a zwave dongle to run my lights and it works great.

People run it on everything from Raspberry Pis to Intel NUCs depending on what you wanna do. Some integrations need node, most python, and having a bunch of scheduled scripts firing at once can make the UI a tad slow. If you have a bunch of IoT stuff, I’d probably not throw it on a tiny pi zero for instance.

I've used photoshop, its UX wasn't nearly as bad. Me as a user had a pretty good experience with photoshop, but a really bad experience with gimp. Hence gimp has bad UX and photoshop has ok UX, according to me and most people I've seen. People trying to convince me and the other people that our experience wasn't all that bad with Gimp is the problem here, that attitude ensures Gimp will always have bad user experience.
I don’t have a horse in this race, but must point out that Eureka sits directly on the Pacific Coast of the mainland United States, which adds significant desirability to a town that is admittedly best known for having a lot of tweakers.

(In fact Eureka is fairly centrally located on the coast, which is kind of cool, too. I’d want to live in Arcata instead because less tweakers. But Arcata isn’t directly on the coast, so you can’t really compare them)

Google used to give away phones as part of the "holiday gift". Basically the suggestion is to give the phones away if they're not sold.
The only disappointing part of Google, for this former Apple aficionado, is how self-flagellating the internal and external culture are. (ex. we see other Googlers/ex-Googlers in this thread noting how funny these are)

Thank you for sharing that, I was uncertain if it was my own bias that was making me think similar things
> That wouldn't fly politically in the working group, because the "enterprise" people have at least some influence there, and they want to do exactly the same kinds of DPI that North Korea would want to do.

If this was true, TLS 1.3 would have RSA kex. The "enterprise" people (specifically in fact EDCO, the Enterprise Data Centre Operators, Nalini Elkins' group) really wanted to keep RSA kex. It was removed in TLS 1.3 anyway because it's a bad idea.

In practice the intention is that ECH will be GREASEd, so yes, it will go from being nowhere to being apparently everywhere almost overnight. It's not specifically intended that GREASing ECH will defy the Great Firewall, but it's a possible outcome. China can decide its own policies without help from us.

For EDCO and similar outfits, ECH changes nothing.
Spectre Revisits BPF
I recently spent a little time at a company that used an embedded Pi in their product. It had to have a lot of data on hand that needed refreshing daily, with an unreliable network, so everything had to be local. Their biggest problem was SD corruption.
> "We only make money when you do" creates a very strong incentive for the organization to make you money.

While I agree with this in principle, I look at all of the people who happily put content up for free on YouTube with no intention or desire to monetize. In fact, there was just someone on HN's frontpage today[1] that moved from YouTube to PeerTube because of the fact that YouTube was going to start putting ads on their free videos.

If you're up to investing time in GnuCash, and tuning it to your needs, there's some nice UI/HCI details, though some is still rough.

But the GnuCash out-of-box UX definitely isn't contemporary tech industry polish nor style. (Though that heritage also means that GnuCash isn't selling out the user a dozen different ways like we tend to do in tech industry right now.)

(Examples of tuning GnuCash: I replaced the default account hierarchy with one I evolved, switched to displaying only leaf account names instead of the colon path ones, and color-coded the accounts to distinguish liquid/non-liquid/liabilities/receivables.)
I think most people view freedom of speech as a right in a broad sense, particularly with respect to the government, but are also okay with a violation of it in certain contexts, like in a private domain. It seems to me that a bar owner kicking out a loud or inflammatory patron is an example of "oppressing that right", but most people understand this and have no problem with it because the alternative -- a world where the bar owner is forced to let the patron say anything they want on the bar owner's property -- is worse.

There's a significant difference between private enterprise and government. For example, no matter how much a business doesn't like you, they can't jail you based on their own set of rules (laws).
I believe perfect forward secrecy (now default) blocks such attacks.
Recently saw a pack of crows attack and kill one of a mockingbird pair. The mate tried to save it but was unsuccessful. The crow flew off with it in its beak and the rest of the crows joined it and tore the mockingbird to pieces. I see now why a group of crows is called "a murder of crows".
> and I should be able to tell devices where to send DNS requests

But you can't. Even if DoH went away today, even if Mozilla and everyone else dropped the technology, you still don't actually have the ability to do that. Devices will still be able to ignore you.

It's not DoH's fault if devices on your network don't use your network-wide DNS resolver. IOT devices were going to move in that direction regardless. Increasingly, your smart TVs are going to ignore your network settings. They might not even make DNS requests over the correct port. They might hide them in normal Internet traffic. They might cache them locally. They might make a request for a domain that looks safe, and then use a different IP address that they have cached locally. They might even ship with their own embedded 5G chip and use it for specific exfiltration requests and updates. They might join your local network, read all of your unencrypted traffic, and then use a 5G chip to separately send data out.

If you think that blocking DoH will solve these kinds of problems, I feel like you are putting way, way too much faith into your existing DNS setup.

> Anything that does not do what I tell it to do is malware IMHO

Okay, that seems completely reasonable. However, my perspective is that any network that will MITM my requests or monitor what websites I visit without my permission is malicious IMHO. It sounds like the answer here is to block access to your network for devices that you don't trust, or to try and quarantine them -- not to demand that my personal device stop respecting my own entered DNS settings whenever it joins a new network.

To argue that my installation of Firefox or that my OS shouldn't be able to ignore network settings anywhere and that I shouldn't be able to choose how my requests are encrypted, just because it makes it easier for you specifically to enforce your network's security policy without explicit opt-in or consent -- I don't know, it just seems pretty backwards to me from how this kind of security stuff is normally supposed to work.

I know that this stuff will make it harder for some network operators to do their jobs but... so did HTTPS. I heard literally the exact same complaints during the early push to get every website encrypted. But we live with it, and now if you want to monitor my unencrypted network traffic, you need to get my permission to install a certificate. Control and consent slowly moves away from networks and onto devices over time, closer to the users themselves.

Yes. Local push would mean you’d only get notified when at home.

Home Assistant has had non-local push for a while now. I use that for door unlock and alarm notifications because I want them when I’m away. It’ll be handy to move less urgent ones to local only though.
I disagree. An app like this has to mail reviewing all of my notes and finding things. I think exporting todos and focusing on highlights is smart - that’s all you really truly need in the end. But if I put notes in I expect them to be there and to be accessible and useful.

I'll do it too, for my own network. But adding it at firewall would be a good/acceptable idea... Currently this probably means running HTTP/S proxy.
The example you're thinking of is actually in gridworld [1]. As you allud to, one of the parameters of the model is the cost of simply being alive for an additional time-step. If the cost is negative (a reward), then the agent will just sit there forever and accumulate infinite points. If it is zero, it might still just sit there to avoid falling into the hole, which has a large penalty and ends the simulation. As you turn up the dial on the cost of living, the agent starts using more and more aggressive strategies to reach the goal quickly. But if you make it too big, it will just jump in the hole.

The alternatives aren't really all that better on the topics that he criticized. If you work at big tech, at that scale, it's inevitable there will be parts of the company you disagree with.

> He was trying to impress a woman that he was talking with, and I distinctly remember him saying he'd be eaten alive if he started the company in California, and that he was thankful for the tax situation in Nevada.

He doesn't know that because he didn't try it.

There's news articles every year that California "has the worst business environment in the US" or stuff like that, but they're all based on surveys and what they actually mean is business owners are whining in case they get an income tax cut. CA's economy is, of course, doing great, and for the middle class the tax burden is less than Texas if you remember to count taxes other than income tax.
> I look at all of the people who happily put content up for free on YouTube with no intention or desire to monetize.

Oh, that's a good point. If I understand correctly, you're worried that the companies desire to "make you money" might mean one day putting ads on your videos without you really wanting that at all.

I agree that's a problem with our incentive structure, I'll have to think about that some more, thank you for bringing that up.

I think there's a bit of a counter incentive from the video-maker's ability to just pack up and leave to a different tool if they'd like.

But I think we'd need to create some stronger incentives in place to prevent "ads on your videos without your consent/desire" from happening.

What is the mechanism by which the software determines that you are "located in Canada"?
Probably because it was a non-sequitur to my comment. My point was that without a cliff, even employees who you terminated after three months will vest options that they can exercise for shares on your cap table. It’s irrelevant that they also have unvested options at that point. It’s the vested options that lead to the managerial overhead of a polluted cap table.

> I'd rather have a mode where regular DNS and centrally controlled DNS are compared, and you get a popup if they differ. That warns you of censorship attempts. But that doesn't seem to be an option.

This is difficult with CDNs because it's commonly intended that you get a different RR-set response depending on where your query originated from. So, somewhat awkwardly, there's no unique correct answer to a particular DNS query in many cases today.

I just looked up IN A www.google.com from two different networks, and got two different answers, yet I think both of them are correct and are the answers that Google intended for me to get!

(These discrepancies are themselves one reason that CDNs have been wary of large numbers of users not using ISP-provided recursive resolvers. There is a sort of compromise workaround called ECS, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDNS_Client_Subnet, in which the recursive resolver gives the authoritative server a hint about where the query came from, to facilitate giving a response that may be most relevant to that specific client, typically a nearby CDN instance.)
I remember hearing a story from a structural engineer who was disappointed with a builder on a commercial site. He took him around the site and showed him some of the sub-standard work and said to him, "This is not your best work, is it?" The builder responded with, "You should have told me you wanted my best."

I've seen this in software too. People push for cheaper and faster, but often that will only come at the cost of quality. There are good reasons to take on technical debt. For example, to get to market without the funds to avoid technical debt, in the hope you can pay down that debt with revenue flowing in. But there are seldom conversations with business people to negotiate on the quality, time, and cost trade-offs.
Your comment is entirely unrelated to the article, which is about using the very hot rock several kilometers underground to drive turbines to generate electricity.

Are you familiar with Vancouver, BC, Canada?

There is a perception here that housing prices are constantly propped up and inflated because of rich migrants. Or simply because rich people are parking money in Vancouver real estate.

This has been going on since the 1990s.

In the short term people who own property and can benefit from the influx of money are happy. Over time it creates huge resentment from those who don’t see an opportunity to be able to afford owning. This resentment is even found among those earlier rich migrants who are now being priced out by migrants with more money.

I’m sure there is similar sentiment in San Francisco and other places where tech workers have caused prices to increase.

If this is limited in some way, then maybe the locals will be happy to see some additional wealth coming in.

> If you view everything as a UX issue that can simply be solved by moving things around

That isn't what UX is about. I am making games, and stuff that isn't simply moving things about is a core part of user experience. For example consider a game where you want to move around armies on a map. You can implement that by moving around the armies using numpad only, or you can calculate a shortest path on a mouse click to a location and show it to the user. Both allows the same kind of movement, but the second offers way better user experience which is why all modern big strategy games uses it over one step at a time movement.

> but my point is you can't just get that by changing around the ellipse select tool

I never said that a good UX was easy, I just said that the developers of GIMP didn't want to put into the work to make GIMP have good UX, and a lot of that work is redesigning the technical architecture or implementing those features the tedious ugly way. It is possible to make it decently easy to make easy to use tools for gimp, I just don't know all the details of what those tools should do exactly but I know how to build that sort of things. When making games you don't have as patient users as you have in GIMP, so you'd never get away with that kind of UX, so from my perspective when your product has GIMP's level of UX then it isn't complete as a product since it would basically ensure business failure.
