As an outsider without intimate knowledge any of this could be wrong, but, I’ve been on both sides of the tech and manager relationship and:

- there’s a clear problem in how the news that you’d be signed up has been delivered: they haven’t done it at all and of course that causes you some negative feelings towards the whole thing. So they should have done better.

- he may not know you didn’t agree to it, he may not know you don’t know the system. He may have just been told “roll out this new on call schedule to everyone”.

- if I were you I wouldn’t assume malice, I certainly wouldn’t consider quitting without further discussion. I would arrange to meet your manager that you like and explain the situation - what you’ve been signed up to, why you don’t want to and are stressed. Then from that you may need further discussions with the new manager as well. Either they get you trained up to a comfortable level and feel bad for the terrible delivery, or you find out they don’t care or are pushing you into something you don’t want to do and at that point perhaps you know is time to leave

Good luck
This is a huge problem with the wider web today, which is overrun by content creators who are motivated to make money over providing deep value content. The consequence of this is that those who are not in it for money, are marginalised.

It is well understood, and psychologists will likely say the same, that the outcomes from people when they are intrinsically motivated generally surpasses that from extrinsic motivations. We have taken the web away from the former and handed it to the latter and in doing so we deprive ourselves of wonderful things many people have to offer. The web doesn't need paid content creators to survive. There are a huge number of people who are interested in participating for epistemic or community reasons and we need to safeguard these interests. I don't think it can be done in the web as it stands today. I think we really need to go radical and carve out a separate space for such interests. We need a new web.
Greetings! Very helpful advice within this article! It is the little changes that produce the largest changes. Many thanks for sharing!

That's really a non-linear path, but I'll try to tell the most important waypoints anyway: I have a background in Physics and had already around 5 years of professional tech experience under my belt. Being frustrated with corporate life I moved to Berlin in 2013, decided to co-found again and minimized my recurring expenses, finding a cheap place with an old friend.

That co-founding didn't go well and I started visiting really a lot of Meetups (too bad that's not an option right now, hopefully soon again!). So eventually I ended up working at a co-working space. Many people there worked with freelancing, had a design background and my supervisor actually was working as freelance artist on the side.

So I was getting involved in as many projects as I could. Eventually I was attending a Hackathon that I really liked. It was quite a high-effort project, unfinished but me and a friend decided to continue it after the Hackathon. At that point I was also frequenting another more artistic Hackerspace and the owner asked if we wanted to exhibit the project. Being unfinished, one requirement was to give it an artsy touch. Of course me and the other guy still being in the project agreed. He also has a design background.

This way I ended up having a project exhibited in a science art place and I also realized that my project list at that time mostly consisted of highly experimental projects. At that point I wasn't really putting that much effort in anymore. Eventually I also decided to sort out my life and went for a regular job again. But the irony is, things were going by themselves and it was already more effort to "go out" than to stay in that space.

FWIW, I noticed that there are quite a few literature/writing Meetups. Maybe that's a nice way to get your hands dirty. I mean you can just visit and join the projects whenever those come up...

Social media is the business of providing channels of communication to people in exchange for

In most popular cases, it is communication of people to finely drawn images of all sorts of ideas which bring money. Social media is not a social media, it’s an advertising/deception media. Face it: people on average are not able to socialize properly on a large scale, because the reality is boring and images of all sorts are escapist’s fun. That’s why cinema/theaters and artists existed since forever. “Social” media is a well-coined term that everyone accepted blindly.

> If you were CEO of the Mozilla Foundation, wouldn’t keeping the royalties flowing in be more important than raising user contributions?

Sure. Because as CEO my multi-million-dollar salary is dependent on money flowing in, more than my "Foundation" actually fulfilling its purpose.

If I were anyone but that multi-million-dollar CEO, though, i.e. if I maybe even gave a shit about what the foundation is supposed to be for in the first place, then perhaps I'd also listen a little to the actual users of the product that is ostensibly the whole raison d'être of the foundation. Idunno, maybe I'm odd that way?
I stay away from services I liked when it was hard to unsubscribe and won't come back even if I have the money now.
How do you mean? Looks like an equivalent of a coin flip to me.
To be fair that "light speed weapon" scene was incredibly awesome to watch (and "hear"). If I remember anything from that trilogy ... it is that scene.
I really like the idea and am building a similar thing with Bip39 instead of libsodium. I dont know why us software people always start with identity as the intital entry point into a new paradigm.

I agree with your implementation and because am building a similar thing, see issues with getting people to use it the same way no one uses pgp.

I suggest take a look at flow, or dapper auth and tell me what you think. Why not start with a usecase, any usecase to get real folks to play with this?

Down to working together and/or using stamp instead of bip39 in my own project
In Persian we have an old word which is even used today called “Roozi”. It is a combination of “Rooz” + “i”. The main part translates to “day” and this word refers to what you need to live for a day. It’s also used in prayers which asks God to provide us with what we need to live for the day.

This word instantly reminded me of that but I don’t know if they are conceptually related or not.
Cancelling direct spotify subscription is actually full of dark patterns:

You click unsubscribe and are taken to new screen that presents you pricing plans and is worded in such way that you think you already unsubscribed. I actually thought so and almost thought that I'm done. But no, decided to check and saw that I'm still subscribed.

Turned out, there are THREE consecutive screens where you need to successfully pick the correct option to really unsubscribe.
I know it’s anecdotal but I refuse to subscribe to services that I think are going to be difficult to cancel. The Economist is an immediate example.
You can be sure that it will cost you time even though it didn't cost any money. If you need the card, attach a CAT5 cable and run the command. If you have unsupported hardware, get supported hardware. It really comes down to how badly you want your freedom.

> He never tried timing the market, simply waiting for the right moment.

That's the same thing. Whether you are staying out or buying in, both are trying to time markets. Avoiding doing something is also an action.

In fact historically by staying out because you think something is overvalued has been shown to be outperformed by constantly putting in to the market whatever you can.
Smoking kills, but war is more effective.
This is good, and going over the code to port it will probably mean it gets modernised and a few small bugs will be found / fixed along the way.
If you make me jump through hoops (and have interactive human contact) to unsubscribe, I'm never subscribing again.

On the other hand if I can just go "click" on website and the site goes "ok, your subscription ends at the end of this month". I'll most likely come back if there is some content I want to get to.
I'm no particular Apple fan - I have issues with them and the list grows so I'm even considering moving away from their ecosystem. But a couple points strikes me as not accurate.

> On the Mac, I think you have to open the Music app and click on a bunch of links

Maybe there's a route like that, but at least today it's always under Apple ID management, and I find that quite logical.

On macOS it's under System Preferences -> Apple ID -> Media and Purchases -> Subscriptions: [Manage...] button. Don't have a phone at hand but it's very similar on iOS, somewhere under Settings -> Apple ID. I forgot the exact location but it's with some fairly obvious name, like "Purchases" or "Subscriptions", very hard to miss it.

Naturally, it requires learning where it is for the first time, but then it's fairly intuitive.

> In one app I clicked "start 14 day trial", but ended up being charged for an annual subscription immediately.

Hm. That's odd. Apps could be pretty deceptive and even outright scummy, but at least on iOS the system payment UI (the one where you have to double-tap the power button) was always very clear about how much and when exactly it would charge me.
There are similar phone charging devices that use secondary li-ion cells instead of primary alkaline or lithium, marketed as "emergency use".

In my experience, some of the earliest types in this category (12 years ago?) had LED flashlights and a charging circuit (and an amusing quirk where shining a laser at the status LEDs would trigger the flashlight.)

Individual stories of re-using manufactured but unneeded cells from other products probably account for some of this.
Oh definitely. I think that I may have had it near the start of the pandemic (fatigue/flu like symptoms for a few weeks) but my wife didn't have any antibodies (but I did wear a mask everywhere for the first while I had symptoms).

It's a very odd disease in terms of spread, there's super high variance in transmissibility.

Those aren't generics, they're more like overloading.
Yeah, but also they do not have a combusion engine made out of cast iron that sports a gearbox, clutch, starter, starter battery and generator.

An EV has a lot less components than a combusion car. So much so that they can add a second trunk where the heavy combusion engine normally sits.
When workers organize, to lock down the market with the assistance of government intervention, they create exactly the same kind of corruption.

For example, thanks to the dominance of public sector unions, New York now has nearly 300,000 unionized public sector employees receiving over $100,000 a year:

NYS public school teachers with 35 years of experience receive a pension of $87,945 per year on average:

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/pensions-retired-n...

When you amortize the average amount paid out in total in pension, over the work years, and add that to the other components of their annual compensation, this puts NYS public school teachers in the top 10% of income earners in the US.

It's also incredibly hard to fire New York state public school teachers:

Why this is so important was explained by Smith:

The real and effectual discipline which is exercised over a workman is that of his customers. It is the fear of losing their employment which restrains his frauds and corrects his negligence.

Without fear of dismissal, fraud and negligence multiplies, and thus we see growing inefficiency in the public sector, even as public sector unions direct an increasingly large share of economic output to their members:

> With Netflix, I know exactly where to subscribe and where to unsubscribe

I guess what people like about Apple's IAP subscriptions is that while you might know this for Netflix, do you know it for every other subscription you might sign up for?
Running a remote team for 10 years, I feel we've nailed our onboarding:

- A developer becomes productive within a week.

- We don't stop at onboarding — new joiners are well supported until they feel completely comfortable in all aspects of the role (and beyond).

- The onboarding is self-driven — the time spent with colleagues is always spent on valuable discussions rather than providing information or training that could be done offline. As a manager, I often spend < 3 hours with a new joiner in their first week.

- Developers (and everyone else in the company) rave about it :)

We're now working a new business focused on helping companies document their processes and onboarding, and we're having a lot of success with our early adopters. We offer free consulting to help team's prioritize, plan and implement role onboarding (— with no requirement to pay for the tool / become a customer). If you're interested, drop me a message on LinkedIn and we'll get a call in the diary :)
>"Fourth, the report doesn’t acknowledge the fact that, outside of a few language applications such as translation and web search, the actual impact of foundation models on existing, practical AI technology so far has been modest."

What about all the machine vision projects that use VGG or resnet? Did I miss something ? Is machine vision now not AI? I think that the machine vision side of the shop could probably do with some better canonical models to fine train and put heads on, there are big limitations with the way that the data for these models has been collected so far - and that shows up in applications.

One note about idolising Buffet in modern times is that it seems to me any strategy Buffet used to employ is outdated.

Any simple metrics, or indicators you can think of are already priced in by algorithms so the only possibility to gain an edge would be to have some very specific niche knowledge or inside information, or you must have even better algorithm that considers more variables.

Any success not stemming from those things can't really be attributed to anything else than luck.

I'd argue, Buffet even if young, couldn't do the same today, that he did in the past.

If there's a successful pattern discovered it will be used until there won't be any more profits available from being able to read this pattern. And these patterns get more and more complicated as time goes on, for an hobbyist investor there's absolutely no way, to do some technical analysis and find a profitable idea.
This looks ever more like the most plausible explanation for anything about Mozilla.

It explains, for instance, the conspicuously overpaid CEO: In this context, that's not only "not a big negative", but an actual positive: it's very "corporate".
On the other hand I've had a 100% of my refund requests accepted by Apple without any issues.

Happened just last week when I rented a movie via Apple TV. The description was in my native language and I just clicked. Gathered the family around and saw that there was no audio or subtitles in my language.

I'm not so sure if I can do the same with Honest Bob's Movie Rental App, which has their own payment system.

Will they respect my Parental Control settings about no purchases too? Will they integrate with the "ask to buy" -setting built in to iOS?
1. Because people who unsubscribe might come back again. If it's a hassle to unsubscribe, I'm never going to subscribe again. There are a few of companies that I had poor experience with, and I am never going to buy anything from again. While I currently don't have time for Netflix anymore doesn't mean I'm not going to subscribe again in a year or two.

2. I subscribed to Netflix because they had a reputation of being easy to subscribe / unsubscribe. I'm not going to subscribe to the New York Times because I've heard how hard they are to cancel. I have a subscription to a local newspaper, they even had ads mentioning how easy it is to start / stop their subscription.
Interesting, that’s in Hindi too. Probably straight from Persian.
Did you run CMake with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ?
I’m not a specialist in these issues, first of all.

The value of money goes down because of inflation, which is why you are incentivised to earn more when you’re younger, so after accounting for decay, you have enough saved up for your eventual retirement.

But a deflationary system like gold, btc etc. are a tad unfair because the early adopters in the founding generation accumulate “a fortune for generations” for say an x amount of work, whereas an individual born in an established crypto or gold system will only accumulate an exponentially low fortune for a similar kind of effort. So this locks in permanent inequality like in the old days.

By activity trap I mean things that

- prevent science from moving forward

- prevent society from expanding its social space for everyone (ie every society has outcasts who don’t have a place in the current system)

- invent activities that keep obsolete arrangements relevant
etc

Given such a broad definition I admit I’m not in a position to say what is an activity trap and what isn’t. It could all just be necessary drudge work to get to a better situation. But right now it “feels” like an activity trap.

Your solution, if I understand correctly, is to have some type of money that decays back into the system, if left accumulated and unspent after some time.

But there is still nothing here to stop someone from gathering enough quantum of value to force some sort of gate-keeping type situation. People will always be incentivised to save what they earn. Maybe for tomorrow, a bad season or the next 10 generations. It isn’t people who are thinking short term. People in large groups behave in ways that suggest to the observer that short term benefits trump long term goals.

While money seems like a good tool for societies to manage social behaviour perhaps we are looking at it wrong when we think it can easily be used to set the kind of long term goals that can easily avoid activity traps. The obsession with money and monetary system, maybe distracting attention from avenues where much greater improvements can be made.
Just take a look at the actual weight of the Tesla Model 3.
It is listed between roundabout 1.600 kg and 1.800 kg which is absolutely in the ballpark of the two tons every other mid sized sedan weights. Example : Volkswagen model Passat: 1470kg - 1760kg.

At least in the UK the vaccine passports are made available through the NHS App, and stored AFAIK the same way any other health information on your person is stored already. At least they show up the same way like all other healthcare appointments, prescription s, etc. The only unique things are the QR codes to "export" that information - the validity of this is not checked against a (separate) database to my knowledge.

Other countries that have nationwide systems should have been able to do something similar - of course there's a good chance they didn't, but that's really not an argument against Covid passports but against bad security practices.
Just signed up for a month of some service because it was non-recurring. There are services I haven't signed up for specifically because even though I'm ok to pay every month, the (hypothetical, but likely according to my priors) trouble to unsubscribe puts me off.

Beyond that, if someone's choosing between one of e.g. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, I imagine that it could make a difference.
Superobscure stuff. The thing with the ed2k network is: people tend to share whole directories of their content.

If you want to find a documentary that ran once on TV, is not available commercially anywhere, you might have a chance that amule will find it. You may have to run your client for weeks because it goes offline from times and will only give you a few kb/s download rate, but you may get stuff you just cannot get otherwise.
Apple may not make a lot of money from these high quality free/cheap apps from small development shops. But indirectly, that quality content is one of the reasons people buy an iOS device over an Android.

Crippling that is crippling their own bottom line and they know that all too well.
On the other hand, Apple can remove those games from the top places in AppStore, which, these days, is horrible for discovery anyway. So money will flow to the new occupants of top spots.
There's a github download, too.
Citation needed; I know research into psychedelics is difficult due to restrictions, but anecdotal evidence is not enough to start recommending it without listing the necessary caveats.

I mean "Ivermectin has been shown to significantly help with Covid" has the same weight to it, and I'd never recommend anyone take horse dewormer. Maybe if they had worms and it was the only thing available.
The usefulness of this given how finnicky wireless chargers are is questionable, over USB seems more plausible as even a USB condom wouldn't protect you from this.
