Four Lessons Learned from Creating Spotify’s Desktop App
The brain is a piece of soggy bacon that lives in a shell of bone, has its own membrane that is like the gut lining, cleans itself by power-washing itself (and shorting itself out, essentially; REM sleep is basically the side effect of this process), depends on glucose for its special mitochondria[1], and your humanity is literally a thin layer of meat-paint on top of millions of years of evolution...

... that is doing scientific research on itself, and then reading it and understanding the strange symbols on the screen.

[1]: All your organs have unique metabolic signatures, but they, generally, can all run on purely fatty acids; the brain requires about 30-40g of dietary glucose to run optimally, as fatty acids do not cross the BBB quickly enough.
This headline and screed typifies how nonsensical greater SF is; "mysterious startup" juxtaposed with "quiet street". Kalanick is a fantastic scapegoat, evil billionaire hell bent on screwing over "quiet street".

The author brazenly quotes the word "create" in reference to jobs as if the entire operation somehow won't generate economic activity.

A quick look on Google maps at the former state of the building reveals not something cheery, as indicated by "covered in murals and cartoons", but instead blighted where artful murals are juxtaposed with random spray painting over windows and doors along with odd couches, tires and other trash strewn around the building.

The real litmus test is Zillow; surrounded by largely million dollar homes it becomes super apparent that NIMBY is indeed the right term for the author and those opposed to an all but abandoned building being used to create jobs.

The building is positioned between a standard street and significant thoroughfare, both of which have two full lanes, room for parking and painted center lines AND both of which have bike lanes or indicators. Adeline has substantial parking which presumably any business on that site would enjoy (although apparently those in the million dollar homes should be entitled to all of it?).

This piece is better for NextDoor (although unsurprisingly SFGate et al have become great mouth pieces to amplify NIMBYs like this).

I imagine truly autonomous rides without a specialist on board will have plenty of cabin cameras with clear view to identify the passengers. With consequences in mind, does that work in a similar way to the social discouragement of other passengers?

Did you expect something different? I can't really see a boardroom writing a roadmap that goes straight from

to

actual rides with passengers - no backup driver onboard

Is the backup driver expected to intervene in "urgent" situations ("What's this thing on the road in front of me? Should I stop?") or just in "confusing" situations ("I'm stuck behind a vehicle, should I drive around it?")?
Further, I hate Amazon's interface for managing channels, let alone Prime Video (which is also terrible—shit-tier streaming services most people have never heard of manage to do better). Like almost everything else they make, the UI is wildly not to my taste. I signed up for one exactly once, to watch Twin Peaks: The Return. I'd never do it again. Figuring out how to subscribe was a pain(!), figuring out how to cancel was a pain, and of course the video UI is awful.

I don't have an account, and the change has been noticeable and annoying. It's more than just clicking on another tweet, though from what I can tell they've been A/B testing this behavior (sometimes I get it and sometimes I do not). On mobile, you can't click through to someone's profile from the tweet without creating an account. If the tweet chain is more than 4 or 5 tweets, you cannot read the rest without creating an account. It's prevented me from normal browsing habits multiple times, like reading the ASML twitter thread that was posted on HN a couple of days ago.
To me it seems all platforms now ‘overmine’ (99); all recommended results from any of the major platforms who are supposed to have all data on me and have the best AI people in the world, consistently provide results I really would never entertain. I am not sure what the people who work in these recommendation algos are thinking they are improving but they seem to get worse and, as such, besides what I already listened, watched, bought etc, downright wrong. Netflix should know what I like but keeps recommending things anyone who knows me would know I would not watch on a deserted island even, while shows and movies that I find myself and like are never recommended. I find it weird. Hell, I have searched for exact titles that were not available in my region; when they became available they still did not recommend them. And most people I see online or know have the same experience. Maybe drop a bit of the ‘AI’ and put some trivial rules in so at least it hits once in a while.

What is amazing to me is that this comment 20 years ago would have seemed like an unhinged rant, but today, with all that has happened in the last decade, rings as painfully true.
You're not wrong, but your models of aging events seem to be too simplistic. Aging is not one process but a complex of interacting processes.

There are definitely a number of processes involved in aging that are pre-programmed as you suggest, namely the hormonal clocks involved in puberty and maturation, and then later senescence.

It's not particularly useful to compare humans/mammals to single-celled organisms, which operate under way fewer constraints. They don't have to deal with cancer, as just one very basic example. They also don't have to figure out how to clear old junk from their tissues and individual cells. They just start over with a clean slate every time.

Signals in the bloodstream - various hormones and immune cells - are obviously involved in aging. But there are many of them, and we are just starting to understand their different interactions. There is no doubt that aging research is going to yield ways to suppress or promote the action of certain hormones, replenish/reactivate certain stem cell populations, etc. but better understanding of intercellular regulatory networks is needed for that.

To call DNA methylation the determinant of an "aging clock" is also too narrow or simplistic. DNA methylation is the mechanism of cell differentiation, but it's "metadata" that has to be copied over between cells when they divide, just like the DNA itself. Early in embryogenesis, the DNA methylation pattern is reset and overwritten using the regulatory cascade of master control genes (homeobox, etc.) - so it is expected that the methylation pattern will have lower fidelity with each division cycle before or after that point.

This is the golden age of biology - we have just gotten a hold of the tools that will let us solve these problems - but it's messy and complicated. Investing in your understanding of these processes can have a huge payoff - I recommend reading some of the Nature Reviews articles like https://www.nature.com/nrg/ - I've always found them to be incredibly helpful in summarizing the state of the art.
> How different is this from IMEI blacklisting of stolen phones?

It's not. People have been doing this for years now, it looks like the big brouhaha this time is that it's likely disabled when it connects to WiFi, not cellular or GPS info like how a phone might respond.
The old mobile interface (i.reddit.com) works well too
We get into the Ex Machina situation. It was a pretty good movie about Android (robot?} proving itself human.
I remember this one bit from a video on self driving cars back a few years ago where someone basically said that self driving cars would not work well in cities because people will always want to mess with the cars just because they can.

Consider how in the early 2000s when people would mess around with AIM's smarterchild chat bot and gave it outlandish scenarios just to see how it would react. I have to imagine you might see something similar here with these cars but you're right that having a human onboard would probably curtail these interactions.
Well, since you didn't steal it why would they disable it?

But if you bought it off the back of some guys truck would you honestly expect it to work?

You can come up with other fun conspiracies by realizing that the HDMI spec can share internet connections. Plugging in your "fire cast", or whatever external television device you use, could provide your TV an internet connection, but it doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
Exactly. 20% of your customers are associated with 80% of your problems. Right now there’s an equilibrium where payment processors take on some medium risk merchants at much higher fees to cover the disproportionate costs of chargebacks and regulatory risk.
I'm not saying I agree it will be a big problem - but graffiti, littering, urination definitely happen in public lifts.

I imagine though that it'll just be something you can report when it comes along, then it gets sent off for cleaning, they pull up its recent rides, and send you a different car.

But, are those recommendations based on what you're looking at? I could definitely see users purchasing one of the recommended items if they come to the site with an item in mind, but not necessarily a brand.

I often come to Amazon and search for something like "washers" and skim through the "recommended" items until I find a pack that's a good value. But from an attribution standpoint, that sale is more the result of "browsing the aisle" than a recommendation. It's not like they recommended hairspray, which i bought in addition to the thing I came there to buy.
How are they fundamentally not aligned? To me it seems like they are fairly well aligned. Not perfectly, but close. What are they doing that doesn't help a user with their goal of being entertained?

The user's goal is to be entertained. The way they make money is by getting you to continue your subscription. You will only continue that subscription is if you are entertained. So their goal is to entertain you enough to keep the subscription.

Sure they will produce new content and advertise it to you ahead of time such that you might keep the subscription for another month. But it only works if that content is interesting to you, so they still need to make content that is interesting.

I guess the content they are producing is aligned at groups of users, and not any one individual user. So if you are far from the targeted groups, then the goals are not as well aligned. But their goal is still to suggest the content in their library that you will be interested in to continue to stay subscribed.
I think competency in the domain reduces friction, and without reflection folks generally don't seem to realize that their experiences are usually specialized. So yeah, I think it's a combo of not trying the new thing (because they already have a comfy work flow) and not honestly assessing how the knowledge they take for granted changes their experience. Not that it's that easy of course.
"If you could have read the document but didn't, that is your own fault and the contract stands." That's the point, isn't it? Gideon v. Wainwright clearly established that no non-lawyer can be expected to win against a trained lawyer. Since BigCo has a team of trained lawyers making the EULA impossible to read, ... Well, Gideon didn't go this far, but if we extend the logic in that ruling, there's certainly a major precedent that nobody can be expected to understand the EULA, and thus it might be void.

Twitter is committing suicide by requiring phone numbers and logins to even read tweets, the way Digg committed suicide and sent all its users stampeding over to Reddit.

Reddit themselves are committing suicide with their aggressive user interface changes, and their dark gangs of out-of-control moderators.

Looks to me like USENET sent us over to LiveJournal sent us over to Digg, sent us over to Reddit, sent us over to Hacker News, and something good and new can grow and replace them all.

From the albeit little feedback I've heard, I hear the Spectre 4K dumb TVs are decent enough. They go up to 75" and Walmart sells them.

But yes, I want a bigger market for "dumb" products such as cars, and other consumer appliances such as TVs.
Gotcha. I've never owned a Fire device.

My primary experience with both services was when I wanted to watch Game of Thrones a couple years ago. My girlfriend had already bought it on Amazon so I used that app on our smart TV for the first season or two. Every single interaction (even moving the menu cursor) took 1-3 seconds to register. It was miserable.

I ended up subscribing to HBO and buying a PS4 media remote just so that I could stop using Amazon Video.
Definitely both valid business approaches, Tesla more interesting from a startup / leverage approach. As a consumer, I'm less excited about Tesla putting out beta software in situations where mistakes can be deadly https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/05/business/tesla-autopilot-...
Are there any thought pieces on how cities can adapt roads to accommodate SAE level 4 cars to facilitate rolling out a wider deployment more quickly? I'm thinking of something like cities could designate specific routes and lanes for L4 cars with designated drop-off locations and also only allow the service to be operational during clement weather conditions. It seems it would be beneficial to have fully automated routes to and from specific spots even today, for example an airport to a downtown location, for many cities to help reduce transportation costs and safety issues as compared with Uber/Lyft.
I bought a Samsung smart TV recently got it all hooked up and noticed that the UI was unbelievably sluggish out of the box when i bought it...

Hooked it up to my Nvidia Shield, configured HDMI-CEC and it's everything i want for a TV, all it does is turn on and display the shield while passing through audio to my receiver haven't seen the Samsung UI in months.
Nonsense. Go look at some of the models by different analyst. Even if you include no software revenue at all, you can justify a much higher stock price then you suggest. Some never include anything for FSD in the first place.

And even if they don't reach FSD, they could still generate a lot of software revenue from Autopilot features.

And beyond that Tesla still does more then final assembly of EV and selling them to dealerships.

> You're only likely to see code take good advantage of such hardware if it was especially made for it, like you have an enormous world with a very high detail level that can't be preloaded and the code relies on constantly streaming it.

For AAA titles this is pretty commonplace, with progressive loading to eliminate loading zones. The exception is MMOs and single-map multiplayer games (CoD, etc) which have a loading point which they also synchronize users.

For League of Legends, in particular, it was interesting back in the day because it shows you how long it takes each person to load, I'd always be first by a large margin with a RAM drive. Of course it didn't help since you had to wait for everyone to load before you started, but in single-player games it was a huge benefit, especially epic RPGs which had minimal loading zones.

Capping is a common practice for medical services in European countries, but so many other aspect fall in-line with this, e.g more socialised research funding, public universities with research department colluding with the private sector. We could make a comparison in its entirety, no idea which is better, but capping prices is fundamentally incompatible with a near total free market. Which is the market discussed in this article.

In a free market. Cut the imposed taxes, and let people be judge of which service they want to purchase given clear pricing.

Society worse? See the handling of the pandemic, I don't think the source of the problem comes from lack of regulations.

In cases like this, it’s always useful to have an expansive definition of “user”. For example, day to day experiences for caretakers might have degraded under the new patient information system, but maybe it’s now easier to produce charts which bosses want. For better or worse, they are users of the system as well. To whom a change is worthwhile often leads to unexpected beneficiaries with unexpected motivations.
