> > However, money is also a concrete economic good in and of itself.

Just playing devil's advocate... if you're stranded on an deserted island with a suitcase full of US $100 bills or perhaps flash drives with bitcoin in them, does that provide significant concrete value to you in and of itself?

Same question, but this time you have "food, housing, clothing, shelter, or artwork (e.g. some songs loaded in your out of range phone)"?
And if you're an explorer, you should probably also be a good Navigator.
> (e) I signal employees that I'm all for "sacrifice" and thus not professional, and not a good place to work (e.g. if I had any loose excuse to sacrifice them and their compensation, I'd do it in an instant).

That one rings truest to me and was part of one work experience I had in the past. The owners "buy" a lottery ticket using everyone else's wages and time, but it's "cool" because you're "living the dream."

Furthermore, living at poverty level for 1-2 years, especially in New York, eventually gets depressing because you'll have to deny yourself a lot of experiences.

Be like the Buddha in your pursuits. Reject asceticism and extreme indulgence and find the middle path. You and your possible future employees will thank you.

my doc orders the test every year at my physical exam. i'm not sure it would normally be included in blood tests they order for your physical (like cholesterol), at least in the US.
I was unsure if I'm allowed to provide text context in a URL post. Thank you for doing that for me.

Apart from the nice privacy policy, Sorted is really great for people like myself who tend to overfill their todo lists, and subsequently feel bad at the end of the day when they don't manage to complete everything.

Sorted pushes me to assign time estimates to the task, which helps me to keep my todo-list for the day more realistic and manageable. I like it more than managing my todos in the calendar, as for example the Make Time people would probably like me to.
It comes up commonly in discussions about how poor GDP is as a measure of societal wealth. For example, if we would strike a bargain to do each others' laundry for a trillion USD per year each, the GDP would "magically" go up by two trillion compared to if we would just do our own laundry. However, no additional value is created compared to the current situation.

I don't think there has been any reason since LibreOffice forked. One major reason now is that while both can read the new MSO formats, although I don't know which has better support, only LibreOffice can save in them.

I always tell people that software development, as a career, is like being in college forever. You have to be in the learning mindset your whole career. Part of that learning, is learning technology, and part of that learning, is learning people and organizations. Organizations are very different, today, than they were in 1990. Less change than the underlying technology, but changed none the less.
No. That’s what people like us and all the main stream media hope for.

But: most people I know don’t have the slightest clue that Insta and WhatsApp belong to the FB group.

And even worse: most of them don’t give a shit about the reputation of FB. They just want to send messages and share pictures through those apps.
There are portions of my codebase that are intentionally "dumb" code. They contain cascading rules controlling what UI elements are visible that can be challenging to reason about. So I wrote it so simple that anyone can read it.

I see the same here. It's not clever, but no one has any doubt what words are being checked.
Probably unpopular opinion: Firefox should not be managed and lead developed from Silicon Valley.

There's too much overlap with the VC crowd plus the salaries are huge.

Mozilla should be a regular, frugal non-profit.

Maybe Apple's App Store conditions prevent Brave to do a lot of its crypto stuff.

Not sure what you mean because bash has the same problem -- you can't return an array from a function.

And I still think Shell, Awk, and Make Should be Combined. In that world you'd still have one problem :)

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=awk#awk

Oil has recursive data structures, although I'm still working out how to compose shell-like "procs" and functions which could return an associative array. We could just add them both naively but I think it would cause many shell programs to be a lot messier.
But I’d rather not say it, online or in person.
Yes, but I wonder if this anonymous agency has clients all in the same geographic area or industry. The sample size is too small to draw definitive conclusions, because there might be confounding factors, or maybe the agency even made a mistake somewhere.

Of course, the type of data that would be really useful here (detailed ad performance metrics by the hour, across all of Facebook) is the type fb would never willingly publish.
I'd be okay with that. I'd also be okay if regulators forced Apple to allow apps to use outside payment services where the price could be 30% less.

I just hope that Apple would be allowed to say that if you are going to use outside payment providers, you must allow paying through Apple and the outside price can be no lower than 30% (or whatever Apple's cut is).

I don't spend a lot through Apple each year. Maybe $200. If I'm paying 30% more than I would otherwise that means it's costing me something like sixteen cents per day and I'm okay with that.

When I was younger, I used to focus a lot more on price. When Zappos came around it clicked for me that paying more can be smart if the service you get is better. I'll pay $0.16 every day if it means a few times per year I avoid a lot of bullshit.
That's probably the street date of the physical issue of the magazine that will contain this article.

73 yo dad is not quitting Facebook anytime soon. He genuinely uses it to find old friends and coworkers and goof around in the comments.
You're not wrong.

I mean it gets a lot of bad press and people love talking shit about them. Yet their user base is still huge and their revenues. How much is all this talk relevant to them?
Planned outrage?
So you also trust Apple better than yourself, because if you will ever find yourself needing an app that Apple blocks, well, you'll have to accept that it is in your 'best interests'.
Or that you can afford to take big risks because you have parents who are willing and able to support you. The rich get richer...

I agree with you, having to take such drastic measures to prove (to investors or yourself) that you have "skin in the game" wouldn't look good to me. It's cute to romanticize this ala Rocky III, but coming up with creative ways to overcome a lack of intrinsic motivation to do your job well is drama best left for the big screen, IMO.
> It's the biggest repository of knowledge in history

This is totally true. Unfortunately, it's also the biggest repository of misinformation in history as well.

On a macro scale, you're likely correct. If you're one of the unlucky people that suffers a significant negative consequence, your view may differ.

This company will continue running roughshod upon society until governments do something about it. They are too big to fail. Competitors just get bought up. Unsurprising that boomer media can't comprehend this.
I was addressing your comment on equality of outcome:

And if you see that the gap is caused by the distribution of the type of work, for example, raceX is more likely to do work that pays more than raceZ. Well that's also an issue, because we value equal opportunity between races, and the assumption is if opportunity was truly equal, the data should not show a big gap in the choices of work made between races
I noticed that Things clearly warns you when you import Reminders... that they will delete those imports from Reminders. Sorted doesn't appear to do the same. A big, bad oops IMO.
Real story: I needed to register an instagram account a few months ago. I tried my nick "Iv", of course it was unavailable. I tried many different alternatives and finally managed to get "Iv but the real Iv" or ivbuttherealiv. Recently I saw my account was banned. I then realized that there was a "butt" in there.

Now I will never have an IG account linked to my FB. Oh well, I can live without that but thank god I don't depend on that platform for business. It made me laugh but there is zero appeal available.
Yes, but not as a matter of deliberate policy.
Something can be overvalued without being a Ponzi scheme.

The repeated bashing of cryptocurrency on HN of all places is tiring. There is a lot of innovation in the space outside of BTC. What about DAOs? What about lending products? The space is booming in interesting ideas and all I ever see on HN are posts about BTC being some kind of scam. Where did the 'hacker' mindset go on this site?
Yeah, I don't love their communication / marketing as well.

Basically, it is a todo manager, but with built-in first-class scheduling. You input your todos, assign time estimates, and Sorted helps you spread them out in your day, keeping your calendar events in mind.

To explain the value in this, let me copy one of my comments in this thread:

[...] Sorted is really great for people like myself who tend to overfill their todo lists, and subsequently feel bad at the end of the day when they don't manage to complete everything.

Sorted pushes me to assign time estimates to the task, which helps me to keep my todo-list for the day more realistic and manageable. I like it more than managing my todos directly in the calendar [...].
This is a great explanation about concurrency and parallelism and where multicore fits, FYI https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-vs-thread/5838/1...
I made no mention of party.

And I think the modern reality is a little different, precisely because we aren't talking about influencing the median voter. We're instead talking about influencing the mostly easily influenced voter.

It used to be, that was the median voter, because that's all newspaper / radio / television was able to target.

But now, it's pretty easy for me to say "Show me likely voters who believe the Koch brothers are the Illuminati" or "Show me likely voters who believe in Pizzagate," and craft a winning campaign around motivating them.

Which leads us to... where we are now.
Is there a non-paywall link that everyone is looking at? Or maybe I'm the only one without a subscription to the Economist.

Or is the headline the only reason this is upvoted to #1, and people are just assuming what the article says?
It's probably a good way to introduce users to new websites that they might find interesting.
Presumably wash trading that doesn't reflect any actual transaction. Or just straight up fake reporting of "off chain" trades that never happened by exchanges.
Might be interested but I would prefer it to use the system calendar and to-dos so that I can use it alongside these rather than instead of.
The payment processor could have insulated your data. But with paddle it sounds like sharing your data with the vendor is one of their selling points
Almost literally yes, the entire Tory party is made up of disaster capitalists capitalising on the disasters they create.
This is a terribly misinformed take. If you throw enough resources at Python then sure, you can probably get adequate throughput. The problem is that in finance a lot of problems require you to think about latency, which is a total non-starter for Python
Part of the difference is that that nobody thinks you own Disneyland, but people think that they own their iPhone or iPad. This sort of ownership means that it should be possible to change your decisions about what to do with a device after the moment you bought it.

I think most people would find it bad if a BMW branded car could only take gasoline/petrol purchased using a BMW credit card. Even if the terms of the BMW credit card were better than everything else when the vehicle was first purchased, the lock-in it creates would stop competition. And of course, if BMW could change the credit card terms - say, stop allowing purchases at your closest filling station, that would be worse.

Just from a consumer's perspective, given the popularity of Fortnite, it's quite possible that there are some number of people who bought an iPhone just for the purpose of playing Fortnite, and had that use taken away from them. It feels wrong that Apple can take that away from them.

Congrats, and good luck! Looks like a lovely idea.

Some free advice, worth what you pay or your money back:

This is not likely to succeed to the level of your wildest dreams... You're not likely to have the next Tetris here.

But. Do NOT despair of it for months, at least. A time span longer than the time it took you to build it, by a factor of 2 or 3. When you start feeling "I wasted my time" then go do something else that absorbs you enough to not think about it; or, if you can, go promoting it some more.

That can be hard if your anxiety and stress undermine your ability to share your joy in your cool toy, so be careful judging that. Fiercely self-edit so you don't leak any negative emotions you might have.
We all hate facebook. Ok. No problema.

But Facebook is actually trying to help its costumers recover the money lost during the outage.

US$ 60 million? Pff. Just ask every executive to skip one executive jet travel per week and they recover that in a month or less.
It is ridiculous if framed like that. A better interpretation is that this adresses an easy to address aspect of the anti-competitive phenomenon that is Apple app store – allow other payment processors. It is a lot like coming to a house fire with a pack of bandages. Can't hide the fact that noone seems willing to address the bigger problem.
But one does not remove the other. That web you so love is still there (well, except for GeoCities...) mostly. You can visit it. Subscribe to RSS. Watch funny dancing baby gifs, or under construction signs.

It's just that all that other stuff came too. In addition to that web you love. Not pushing it away, but shadowing it in volume. Yet, there is no space shortage. The web is an infinite library.

Not one that has to remove those seventies sci-fi books to make place for the new Harry Potter section. But one that can keep both.
How are you going to keep it up to date? Are you scraping data from the FBI or is this a manual count?
Which is newspeak for censorship.
ARM assembly is easy to learn, because of its relatively small and orthogonal instruction set. However, load store architectures are annoying to program in, since you're constantly having to juggle memory. The lack of a convenient way to spill registers is also really really annoying! (you can only spill and load registers two at a time)
A lot of people are asking this! Clearly they could do some work on marketing and communication. Let me quote my other comment in this thread:

Very cool, Would have loved to have this power at my fingertips when I was getting acquainted with notebooks.
This is the difference between the nouveau riche and the old centers of power. Facebook needs to look towards oil and banking if they really want to entrench themselves. Maybe take a leaf from Amazon's book.
The sexual freedom and drugs are the only positives in BNW that make it a utopia. Everything else in there is dystopian. Why is “freeing” women from reproductive obligations a good thing?

This has been my experience too. All Facebook is to them is a place where they can keep up with friends and family. That's it. The kind of content that mirrors this article's sentiment never breaks through the noise.
"boomer media can't comprehend this"

Believing news is on the side of the citizenry is like believing HR is on the side of the employee.

There's a lot happening, mostly behind closed doors, trying to prevent this from escalating into a shooting war. I've been following it for the past few months (thanks Google Translate) and the situation is more opaque than any other active conflict.
Firefox has long history with "trusted partner" preloaded search engines which are basically region-based affiliate links and cannot be edited/removed (restored at every update)
Facebook went down for 6 hours and they are back to using it the next day without a second of hesitation.

Maybe WhatsApp was affected by some people who, so I've heard, rely on it heavily. They may have (smartly) switched to a more decentralized platform to handle their critical communications.

So did they shed some edge-case users? Sure. Will it matter in the long run? Not at all.
To be clear, that happens simply because ADDI sign-extends its immediate argument. This saves the need for separate immediate opcodes, and is reasonably consistent with the use of sign-extension elsewhere in the ISA.
You got what you asked for. They will get no sympathy from me.

Sure they were lied and tricked but they are adults. If they spent a second thinking about potential fallout then maybe they would make a smarter decision.
Ask HN: How to Work with an Insecure Manager?
A very common workplace problem, where the know-it-all manager feels like he needs to overrule decision due to years of experience in the company, or insert himself into all aspect of a team to make sure all decision are made to his taste.
The people in the team are highly capable and teamwork is strong, but the constant interjecting of the manager makes the team inefficient and confused, which led to everyone burning out. It's the team vs the manager.
How would you deal with such manager other than leaving the team/company?
I've tried using this form several times. They send me an email afterward telling me they won't delete my account. (This is despite me living in a jurisdiction where deleting my account is legally non-optional.)

NY Times needs to get their shit together.
Personally I dont see persistent public outrage that can effectively diminish Facebook. The "threat" at the moment is the congress passing bill to somewhat stymie Facebook.
The fee is your problem though. You’re paying a 20% premium (Apple 30% minus Paddle 10%), because those fees are being passed directly on to you.
what pressure?
AFAIK, no, unfortunately. But maybe if enough people request it...
Perhaps a small description of your derived the number and what is the definition of the week would be great.
I don't really know much about US politics, but could this recent attack on Facebook be a political move and a power grab? Attack FB so they block certain groups / certain topics and promote what the regulators want? I listened to the whistle-blower's testimony and I didn't hear any reasonable solutions (in my opinion at least; I am a software developer myself).

Also, it seems there might be some regulations imposed. Doesn't Facebook actually want that? More regulations = more difficult to implement a new competing service.
I really hope to see more interest in OCaml in the future.

It is probably one of the most underrated programming languages. The perfect marriage between state of the art functional programming and pragmatism. A great static and strong type system. Solid performance and an insanely fast compiler. Also compiles to JS if you need that.

Multicore support will make it quite perfect. Only thing that is holding it back more than that and the reason I have not done many projects with it, is it weirdly fragmented ecosystem.

Having to decide which standard library to use is a pain but you can cope with that. Tooling is getting there but stuff like automatic code formatting solutions are still pretty immature (and have really weird defaults).

Frontend there is that ReasonML/Reason/ReScript thing that Facebook it trying to do. It offers an alternative syntax but nearly nobody uses it because they changed the name and I think also the syntax three times already. So it is all a mess.

Don't let that stop you though. There are some pretty solid mature libraries in OCaml and if need be interop story with C and other languages is solid.
