Right. Even that’s a lamp, not a room light. It seems a little farfetched to me these days to be honest.
Glad for my trusty HOSTS file.
Not odd at all, it's standard startup delusion trying to chase clout
Oh I'd love to live in a VR pod, just not a Facebook brand one.
I would use the term interactive game for those games that do not include a video component.
Getting frustrated by that after graduation I decided to work as contractor instead of "getting a job".
High land prices don't "unlock" capital, they drain it away from productive use. All other things being equal, it would be far more preferable to have cheaper land - in fact, urban renewal often occurs in cheaper areas, with negative gentrification setting in later as land prices spike upwards due to speculation.
Thank you for this. I’m surprised that CloudFlare didn’t mention it in an otherwise thorough post. After all, the reason they’re trying to pressure AWS to change is that they’d like to offer services to AWS customers without bandwidth markup. Essentially competing with existing AWS services on an even footing.

This to me makes it unlikely that AWS will change their bandwidth pricing. If it was just about this revenue source disappearing, they might bite the bullet and hope that the lower prices would attract more customers in the long term. But bandwidth pricing is the moat around their castle. If it didn’t exist, Snowflake and others would leave. But more than that, new AWS services benefit from the captive audience choosing them by default. Without the moat, each service has to compete on its merits. AWS Lambda, for example would need to be better than CloudFlare Workers or fly.io containers. It won’t win customers like it does today just because it’s “free” bandwidth.

Removing these fees is a risk AWS is currently choosing not to take. And they won’t change their pricing regardless of the number of blog posts that competitors write. The only thing that would force a change is an exodus of customers leaving AWS citing this as a reason.
> using only a barometer

But the pressure of a vacuum is 0, so unconventional means would be required, if it were worded that way.
Those are actually some very good answers.
I would suggest "Monte Carlo Gaming", at least for a subset of these "revolutionary" games. The social aspect is leveraged to guilt the player into participation, skill is deliberately secondary to randomness and repetition, making them mostly gambling, and every interaction is recorded and statistically aggregated to extract the maximum profit in the form of microtransactions. This is the kind of games Las Vegas would be proud of.

All this abuse and exploitation for a 11 minute amusement park ride into space
Right. In the case they’re locked in a room without their phone and the domestic abuser doesn’t also notice them turning the light on and off, I guess it would be an ok strategy? But again, that seems pretty farfetched. I have heard of cases where they call 911 and “order a pizza” and the operator catches on though.
Ok, we've added the Alphabet above.
Yeah, this is nothing new. I would log into World of Warcraft in 2008 just to be in the guild chat.
If these downtown areas were suddenly cleaned up, packed full of operating businesses, and had bicycle lanes and everything added overnight, would any customers even show up? I'm not sure how much demand there even is for such a thing outside the online urban development enthusiast crowd.

I got a sense that the "themed strip mall" was put forward with derision but I think people are increasingly going to need more of an incentive to go to these kinds of areas beyond shopping. A historically preserved area that's neat to look at with educational placards/statues, a nice waterfront, an amusement park, really good food, some reason to make the trip. Otherwise personally I'll just order something online or go to a big box store.
I hope starlink bankrupts these companies.

It really bothers me when companies that have failed to adapt throw their weight around by trying to leverage legislation to kill competition.

I'm certain when she's at the grocery store or the post office, she doesn't tell everyone she has a PhD. However, in her job, and in testimony before Congress that seems relevant:

"My name is Neha Narula and I am the Director of the Digital Currency Initiative at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We are a research group based within the MIT Media
Lab focusing on cryptocurrency and digital currency design and implementation, addressing
challenges in security, scalability, and privacy. I have taught five graduate cryptocurrency
courses across departments at MIT and during the course of my PhD work I conducted
research in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory on databases and
distributed systems."
Ask HN: Anyone working on a fact check database?
We all know there's been an abundance of "fact check" articles over the past 5 years – some useful, and some built on a web of logical fallacies and deliberate misinterpretation of the statement being checked.

Unsurprisingly, comments are never enabled on any of the fact checks.

Does anyone know of a good aggregation of fact checks? It would be nice if there were an effort to fact-check the fact-checkers with moderated discussions.
Incredible design on the landing page!
That’s really fascinating, Ive always found it interesting how some arts become lost in cryptocurrency. Like if you ever read a book on the topic you become aware of so many manual things you can do that wallets don't surface to you.

I heard KaiOS phones are good, including the "Bananaphone" (aka Nokia 8110 4G) that can be had for very reasonable amounts.
How about not doing quick tests?

Throw some code up on a screen and ask a candidate to tell you what it does, what they think about it, what they might do different. We all have that piece of code that is the skeleton in the proverbial closet.
Basically Israel is the real life embodiment of Seinfeld's uncle Leo who says anything and everything is antisemitism except it's also terrorism.

These labels have existing very negative meanings that they would both like to court with their own behavior and accuse others of thoughtlessly.

Starsky value prop was teleop, but that was the same thing that cooled investors. Adding an extra 20-100ms latency to driving is akin to driving after two drinks. Operating a vehicle 10x larger than the ones on the road does not make this problem smaller.

The author does not play video games, apparently. And (I hope) I'm not gatekeeping - she states it herself in the article:

> "I’m excited for this development, even though my own avid video game playing ended in the era of BrickBreaker for the Blackberry."

So it's likely she has not followed what games were, are or will be through the decades that turned them into major cultural phenomena. I wonder why she felt compelled to write a piece about something that is not part of her universe when there are so many journalists out there with plenty of experience...?

I mean, it's one thing if you decide to write about niche stuff being an outsider; but trying to discuss (and influence) terminology of a field that is, by any metric, completely mainstrean... just seems superfluous
Is there any hard fork scheduled in the near future for Bitcoin, with more important upgrades?
It's possible, but not very practical for most people.
Cloudflare argo pricing (basically stay on the CF network) is almost identical to GCP Premium Tier and AWS default tier. They claim it does some cool optimizations to traffic path, no different to BGP optimizers - it is simply ridiculous to presume GCP/AWS doesnt optimize their routes too on a continous basis - yet apples and oranges doesn't apply CF says. I applaud CF nudging AWS to reduce bandwidth fees and things like bandwidth alliance but they sure do a hold my beer on hypocrisy.
Master Foo and the Ten Thousand Lines

Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of [Perl] script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer, who was very proud of his mastery of C, said: “How can this be? C is the language in which the very kernel of Unix is implemented!”

Master Foo replied: “That is so. Nevertheless, there is more Unix-nature in one line of [Perl] script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer grew distressed. “But through the C language we experience the enlightenment of the Patriarch Ritchie! We become as one with the operating system and the machine, reaping matchless performance!”

Master Foo replied: “All that you say is true. But there is still more Unix-nature in one line of [Perl] script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer scoffed at Master Foo and rose to depart. But Master Foo nodded to his student Nubi, who wrote a line of [Perl] script on a nearby whiteboard, and said: “Master programmer, consider this [Perl one-liner]. Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?”

The programmer muttered through his beard, contemplating what Nubi had written. Finally he agreed that it was so.

“And how many hours would you require to implement and debug that C program?” asked Nubi.

“Many,” admitted the visiting programmer. “But only a fool would spend the time to do that when so many more worthy tasks await him.”

“And who better understands the Unix-nature?” Master Foo asked. “Is it he who writes the ten thousand lines, or he who, perceiving the emptiness of the task, gains merit by not coding?”

Upon hearing this, the programmer was enlightened.

Sorry for the super late reply but I think this question deserves an answer.

First up I'm not talking about performative emo culture. I'm saying that authentic expression of your true feelings is a key part of being a healthy human being no matter your gender. You don't have to make a scene. Just be honest. I'm also not saying you shouldn't use that energy to work towards a solution. Doing so is good and healthy.

Saying that emotions are fundamentally not useful displays, I believe, a deep lack of understanding of what emotions actually are. They're not some arbitrary human frailty, they're a finely tuned mode selection / behaviour modifier heuristic that is deeply embedded in the psyche of all mammals and (to varying degrees) all life. Emotions are deeply useful and can act as a communication channel between your conscious and subconscious.

In my own experience there's no such thing as "ignoring" emotions in the long term. You might consciously convince yourself that you're doing so but you're still building up an emotional payload based on what's happening to you and that payload will come out in some other, far less controlled way eventually. Certainly it's possible to cultivate some degree of detachment and so be less affected by the world around you but that just alters the balance, it doesn't remove emotions from your life.

To respond to a couple of your comments in posts below:

> There are many who romanticize the idea of men crying over small things, and I think that's not healthy or productive. I know many people who will cry when they lose a game in their hobby of choice, for example. That kind of thing is too much IMO.

My experience differs here and I feel this is a bit of a distraction/strawman. Being able to play games without getting overly emotionally affected by the outcome is a baseline measure of maturity for everyone regardless of gender and we're not talking about party games here. We're talking about, to paraphrase the GP of my post, "My dad [...] doesn't know how to talk intimately or how to reveal emotions." Being emotionally stunted in this way genuinely impacts your ability to live a fulfilling life.

> It's very reasonable to train yourself to not have those emotions and therefore not carry that baggage.

This is not only not reasonable, I don't believe it's even possible for most people. Either you're wired significantly differently to every human I know (which is possible) or you're not "training yourself not to have emotions", you're just in denial.

> There is an option to not have those negative emotions in the first place.

Again, unless you are very, very far from baseline this is not true.

> That's an extreme example that I'm not really referencing here. Of course I feel sad when something extreme happens, like a loved one dies.

This kind of thing is what the original conversation was talking about.
Tales of Scientists Gone Rogue (Or Worse)
Brave New World doesn't really work well as a tool to criticise "woke", this is a bad angle. If we lived in Brave New World, people wouldn't fight for their ideas about social justice because they'd be hypnotically conditioned to love the social status quo and their place in it from birth. A huge part of Huxley's premise is that social change can't happen in his dystopia because nobody feels any need for it despite the obviously dystopian underpinnings of the supposedly "happy" world.
Mandatory insurance to ride an e bike? How sad.
It was particularly galling when they silently disabled the Twitter integration a few years ago and removed years' worth of my cross-platform posts.
> How would keeping prices high for these services keep people locked in?

By doing the opposite and raising prices across the board randomly because they know folks can't spend the time and money to migrate without a large support burden or time/money sunk cost.

The only service not going down in price is egress and the only thing I've seen which has been like this, to directly discourage folks from migrating their data to say GCP when their offering(s) look more attractive.
The condition was waived. Was being the operative word. People getting those payments now are following the standard unemployment rules.

> The fact is, something like 50% of unemployed workers were receiving more than their previous wage. You can argue that we should be restructuring the economy or whatever anyway, but it's incredibly dishonest to suggest the US gave out the "barest of bones". The US COVID benefits were per-capita the highest in the world, by far.

The unemployment benefit for corona was calculated to be a minimum wage job plus 40 dollars a month. A single minimum wage job is not enough to live in most of America. America is one of the costliest places to live. If this is more than they received from working a job previously then that job did not pay enough and their workers were likely getting benefits ala McDonald’s and Walmart employees on food stamps.

I do not think it’s dishonest to call it the barest of bones to give just enough to live from the richest country on the planet, _and_ I don’t think it’s dishonest to call that the barest of bones even if it’s more than they made earlier.

Do you think there should just be no welfare? If that’s the case then we disagree on fundamentals here and won’t ever come to an agreement on the Covid payments
Geocities was free and didn't really provide any "software" in the service. It was a static web host.
Pretty bold move to non-chalantly brag about your egregiously broken billing system. If I were a customer of his I'd be wondering about the accuracy of my invoices.
In the "About This System" page in Settings (System > About in the Settings hierarchy or it took over the Win+X > System shortcut from the old System Control Panel) under "Windows Specifications" header the Version field there has always exactly matched the "Feature Update Release Version" including things like "20H1". Getting that from an API is intentionally not straightforward (you have to convince Windows you know about the version you are asking about), but its pretty readable there in the Settings panel if you need it as a human.
“Merge two sorted arrays” is a good one
As someone who lives in Russia, by the end of your second paragraph I was thinking to myself "This guy must be Russian". and I was right. I swear, Russians bitch about everything. no matter how good something is, some Russian will find something to complain about.
> what the USSR did between their revolution in 1917 and, oh, somewhere around 1975 was completely amazing

Tens of millions died of starvation, more died in wars, more suffered brutal oppression, forced relocation, and had no freedom to live their lives or even speak their mind, not to mention widespread poverty. What was accomplished for those people?

We're not talking about 'methods', but outcomes. The outcome is all those people dying and suffering. You found a silver lining? Wow. Democracies provided much more prosperity (how about just a reliable food supply) without the nightmarish horrors. 'Much of my family died, ended up in brutal prisons, were forced to relocate, suffered brutal oppression - but it's all good because I have some material goods I didn't have 60 years ago.'

The former USSR is still well behind the democracies.

> you could try to argue that they only succeeded at immense cost to both human lives and political freedom - I might not even disagree

These are the justifications of people who want power over others, it's well-worn propaganda: - 'I am needed to solve the problem, and my self-serving sadism is necessary'. You have examples, worldwide, of countries doing more economically, without the horrors, through freedom. Government leaders, chosen by the people, who do things without killing their population or oppressing them. What a joke.

If these brutal dictators are so good for the population, why not hold elections? Who decides that they are good?

> China over the last 35 years is likely a similar example.

China did it through liberalization, economic and (until somewhat recently) political, starting under Deng Xiaoping.

And Taiwan and Hong Kong, which embraced true freedom, did far more.
Android 12 Will Let Users Share URLs to Apps Right from the Recent List
Smart TVs are not made because consumers want them but because to add advertisements to smart apps is a new revenue stream for TV makers. One that continues after the TV has been sold.
Regarding screen, they write:

I doubt one can edit code on a 13 inch screen. Even 15 inch screen is too small for IDEs.
Absolute insanity. Look at the PCB layout and schematic! I love this project, even if I can't click on the helicopter money.

> I contrast AWS to the treatment we got as a paying google suite customer

Did you have an additional paid support contract with that Google Suite/Workspace account? What would your customer service have been with AWS if you didn't have that additional support contract? If you're paying for premium support on one service it seems a little unfair to compare that to the included base tier support of the other.
> There have been studies that correlated PCR test results with ability to do viral culturing and concluded about 60% of all positive test results did not imply infectiousness.

My point was that the viral culturing might not be feasible for large-scale testing. In that case, we might have to stick to PCR.

You’re commenting on a thread where the concept of “public concern” is part of the justification necessary for invading someone’s privacy. If you want people to interpret your speech correctly, be more circumspect with what you say.

Secondly, I do not believe that a priest’s sexual orientation is a matter of public concern. It might be an interest of the parish, but the parish is not the public and the state is not obligated to treat it specially.
Could I trouble you (or anyone) for a "metaverse"-related fiction reading list? It's been awhile since I dug into some classic cyberpunk.
It is ok that phones and tablets are “consume-only” devices. Like for games, watch video, etc.

This just opens opportunity for “makers” devices (you can do something uniq) and companies. Ie some cheap phones with OS targeting market in Africa. This also means a new type of VCs / ycombinators.
