Before the industrial revolution, most people worked from home. Outside of farmers we can think about jewelers, watch/clock makers, cobblers. There were those that worked in work houses because they were destitute.
Well, when the story began I though this sounds like a pleasant getaway, and I was happy to read you've acquired such a place.

Then the rest of it was just a dour decline. Man, oh man. The worst of it is that all these devices could integrate genuine 'smart' functionality, but a user-respecting way would be locally run from a central box with open and interoperable protocols across devices. Exactly how a router and server works on a LAN. It isn't impossible to design this in a consumer-friendly way either. But the will and the demand just isn't there.

I wonder how these devices will be when the remote servers are inevitably switched off. I learnt this lesson very early on with online games (think GameSpy), the servers are not forever.

What has come over the population? It wasn't that long ago that they burnt identity cards in the UK (at the end of the second world war), the public were glad to see the back of them despite the touted 'benefits' by some politicians. My grandmother shuddered at the thought of giving any financial details online. In the early days, I never used my real name anywhere on the Internet. There is just so much passivity now.
Yeah the first step if you want to be successful on some metric is to type “time tracker” into AppStore search and see that is completely hopeless and pick something else that doesn’t already have 100+ professional and commercial implementations
Well, it's also kind of privileged to expect to have such a "side hustle" that you enjoy doing, and that generates income.

Sure, people used to have side hustles back in the day, but maybe more like weeding your potato plants after a back-breaking day at the factory.

When I was in university, I lived in a residence and there were two girls down the hall that smoked constantly and had a bunch of air fresheners going, with the overall effect being a disgustingly cloying mix of tobacco and synthetic berries or whatever. I've experienced the same thing with those bathroom fresheners where people think spraying them will cover up the smell they produced, and you end up with this revolting mix of poo and air freshener.

Overall, I'd almost always rather smell the actual thing being covered than the smell of it being mixed with air freshener, and I assume, bacteria contamination aside, it's a lot healthier not to breath in whatever the fresheners are giving off
Gmail was behaving exactly like that for me for a couple of months. There was a huge HN thread of people with the same issue and that might have made someone at Google to fix finally the issue.

Honestly the majority of Orgs don't have these chops. There's really no go way to proof anyone.

I think the rationale for Orgs is just that they have more to lose.
I really wish that we'd be more proactive analyzing those afflicted more longitudinally.

I know that for maybe $400-$500, you can do a high-res brain MRI and track size of brain regions, thickness of cortical layers etc.

Brainkey.ai is such a company (I'm affiliated), and I find it amazing what you can do now and what you can likely do in the future.

If nothing else, having a baseline scan would be super handy if anything causes cause for alarm later.
> On the other hand, a Windows user is trained not to report bugs

Decades of dealing with open source projects hasn't been much better in my experience. I don't usually bother to submit bug reports because my experience is that they'll be ignored for a few years and then closed unceremoniously.
I kinda wish I had a need to buy a laptop. I'd love to support what they are doing, and the specs and features are pretty much what I would be looking for if I was buying a laptop.
Historical precedent wouldn’t be on Sony’s side. The Bleem! lawsuit in 1999 from (none other than) Sony was found in Bleem!’s favor. As long as the BIOS or any other copyrighted code isn’t included, Sony wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. PCSX2 for example requires you to provide your own copy of the BIOS that you would (supposedly) get from your own console.

I wouldn't consider projects which make $0 to be failures, unless your intent was to make money from them. I like making tools/games in my spare time with no intention of profiting from them. I simply enjoy the programming aspect way more than any monetary value. I'm not saying that I wouldn't like the money, but it's not my primary focus for making these projects.

Apple certainly gets complaints for their cooperation with the CCP and for their CCP-sponsored censorship in China, HK, and abroad. You can search my HN comments on Algolia and see that I've complained about it plenty of times before.

Or maybe it's much simpler than that: Linux attracts people who are more tech savvy and like to get involved. Windows users are often incapable of understanding even basic OS concepts.

There's often no need to go any deeper than that. Same with Mac users: there's a considerable demographic to whom an OS is simply just an app launcher (which IMHO is fine), maybe even just the browser.

There's a reason ChromeOS has been so successful.

Or have proper analytics. If a user emails you and says "It crashes after a few hours" rather than feeling bad for them, you ask them what their steam/game id is and you look them up in the crash reporter system and see exactly what happens rather than relying on a few programmer consumers doing the work for you.
Agreed. I have recruiters reaching out to me on one of my older spam email addresses (in addition to my personal address). They are clearly doing some sort tracking/correlation.
Glaciers have melted, but regardless, the math seems straightforward: Climate change will cause orders of magnitude more damage than obesity.

> good arguments on both sides, yet there is more political action on one side only with increasing pressure to control how entire populations should live their daily lives that seem to approach totalitarian levels.

Only if we redefine "totalitarian". We have all sorts of laws that "control how entire populations should live" - they can't steal; they have to drive on the proper side of the road, not too fast, and stop in certain places; they can only put their trash out on certain days of the week. That's what every law is - we get together and agree on rules for everyone. This argument is typical of reactionary rhetoric - complete nonsense if you think for a moment, it's really about aggression to confound the 'enemy'. You've made your fellow citizens, other human beings, into enemies.
So, now you have two problems.

If you're making VOIP calls over a device that is itself connected to mobile networks ... you've still got the connectivity of the device itself to track. Presumably that's a long-lived relationship. At this point the information is limited to location data, but that, at the postal-code level is again sufficient to identify 90% of individuals within the US, based largely on residential and workplace locations.

The notion of having short-lived individually-attributable 5G connection history, perhaps through a dongle- or tether-swapping system, in which many individuals utilise devices for a short period of time, might work. With a sufficient budget, disposable devices might also be an option. (As the cost of SBCs / SOCs falls through $0.10/device, the disposable option might be tractable, leaving SIM card provisioning as the bottleneck.)

The tether is connected over WiFi (the MAC address space is already repetitive, and MAC addresses can be arbitrarily changed at the OS kernel level), giving a two-stage connection to the actual mobile network itself. Frequently-relocating (via a swap) or short-lived / previously unknon tethers, as identified through IMEI is required for mobile connections to work, would still be possible, but at a much greater workload. (I'm very sketch on how 5G identifies specific devices, take what I'm saying here with a few kilos of salt.)

I'd still have concerns with a VOIP device that itself has access to information and computing capabilities, but at least the degree of tracking that's possible over a PSTN direct-dialed mobile handset on a 4G/5G network would be sharply reduced. Other threat vectors remain.

Burner phones on a one-use / short-use cycle would probably be preferable.

"No they are not?" I deserved more than that.

Iphones are a standardized attack surface. Apple prefers vulnerabilities not to be found than to be discovered and patched, leading to NSO holding on their discovered vulnerabilities for longer.

An android device with no modem (baseband) is definitely more secure. Throw in a hardware switch for camera, mics, and wifi, which iphones will never have.
Well you're not really on LinkedIn it sounds like. I thought the job market wasn't super hot because I was only getting a trickle of recruiters pinging me on LinkedIn for the longest time, but back in April I flicked the switch to say I was open to new work on LinkedIn and got 19 recruiters contacting me that first day, and another 12 the next day, and ~8 a day for the next week or so after that.

And now that I have a new job the recruiters are contacting me more often than before I flipped that switch even though I flipped it back off again.

But while I wouldn't say I'm active on LinkedIn, really, I do have basically the equivalent of my resume on there. Maybe if you're really wanting something you might want to consider at least putting some bullet points of what you've done for each job then flip that switch and say you're open to new work.

I honestly couldn't keep up with all of the recruiters contacting me and let a few of those slip. I did get to final stages with five companies though and got two offers.

That being said, I didn't get any offers from recruiters I met from LinkedIn (I'm sure I would eventually, three got close). The two I got offers from was a company where someone I knew referred me, and a company that contacted me on Hired.com when I went through the process there. That one was kind of nice because you can post salary expectations before anyone contacts you and I put something about 20% higher than the top of the ranges I was getting told by recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn, and I ended up getting offered that much as well.

I'm a senior engineer who had a .net job at a large but not super well-known corporation for 6 years before my current role, and about 8 years of other experience predating that.

I wouldn't say so. The problem is the cyber warfare market created by nation states. If it wasn't for those large spenders, we wouldn't be where we are right now.

IMO nation states had a very negative influence on the internet, bringing secrecy, warfare, balkanized markets, mandatory identification and other closed concepts to a place that worked on open principles.

If states would invest more in security advancement and open research than in warfare, we might have been in a better position.
> Gun owners that think we should regulate AR-15's, probably don't in fact own an AR-15. So "caring only about their own guns" doesn't point out any sort of hypocrisy.

Nahh it's perfectly fair because there are gun owners who don't own an AR but think they shouldn't be banned. Same as how I don't wanna buy a hooker but still think prostitution should be legal. Or same idea as "I don't agree with what you're saying but will defend your right to say it."

Not sure why you can't just say "gun rights advocate" cause that's what it is. Saying it's extreme is just as much a value judgement as "fudd". And for somebody who fit the stuff I described above, I don't know any good name other than "fudd" for that take on gun ownership.
Bernstein later designed Gimli to address that alternate set of tradeoffs.
"no traction" lol. After 2 years that chart shows 35k users. That's only no traction in relation to the final outcome.

Imagine this was money instead, where the final result was $1B and after the first 2 years it was only $1M.

$1M is only "no traction" in relation to $1B. In absolute terms it's pretty damn good.

Is iTunes Match a separate subscription? I'm not happy with Google Music ever since they rolled it into Youtube Music, which has similar issues as the Music app now, where they're more interested in selling you more subscriptions than letting you play the music you already own. But I'm already paying for iCloud storage, so can I just use the space I'm already paying for to store my music?
Laugh. I was hoping no one would ask since I don't have a great answer! We used "An introduction to Hilbert space" by Young. It's fine? There's stuff in there like Sturm-Liouville systems that I don't particularly use or care for. I also never use it as a reference.

Here's a hodgepodge of other books related to functional analysis that I like more, but don't directly answer your question. I got a lot of benefit out of "Convex Functional Analysis" by Kurdila and Zabarankin. They sort of have a high level overview of different functional analysis topics, including Hilbert Spaces, but with the ultimate goal of proving what they call the Generalized Weierstrass Theorem. Essentially, when does a function has an inf and when is it attained. Even if you don't care about optimization theory, I very much appreciated their survey of topics to get there.

I occasionally also use "Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications" by Kreyszig as a reference. I think this was the first time I saw cleanly the difference between an adjoint and the Hilbert-adjoint of an operator, which was constantly confusing to me prior to that point.

The last one I like is "Nonlinear Funtional Analysis and its Applications I: Fixed-Point Theorems" by Zeidler. He wrote, I think, five volumes, but this is the only one that I use. Anyway, he presents differentiation, Taylor theorem, and the implicit function theorem very well in function spaces. The first four chapters are great as a reference.

Since I'm listing off obscure books, for integration, I like "A Concise Introduction to the Theory of Integration" by Stroock. I actually don't like his newer book, "Essentials of Integration Theory for Analysis" as much as the older book. Anyway, I find it very dense, but well written. Essentially, I like the first five chapters, which culminates with the divergence theorem, which ultimately gives a precise description of integration by parts in more than one dimension. He also answers precisely the question about the difference between Reimann and Lebesgue integrals.

Could that be because the victims of eviction are individuals without the political power of a whole race and its supporters behind them? Obviously evictees are not happy being evicted or they would have left voluntarily.

> For some reason, the commune context especially terrifies people.

My guess is it's the lack of personal freedom and and lack of accountability for those who can control your life. Slavery sounds scary too even if it involved the same practical lifestyle as conventional work. Prison sounds scary, yet many people spend all day just sitting at home doing nothing more than they would do in prison anyway. The feeling of freedom is often more important than actually exercising that freedom.

You make a good point, and I acknowledge there can be traffic that can cause the equivalents of stops. However where I am, even with the impact of rush hour traffic, commuting by car is roughly twice as fast as taking a bus or the subway or biking. It really comes down to what the level of population density is and the proportion of that density to the available road infrastructure. Beyond a certain number, density just doesn’t make sense anyways. Many desirable things like parks don’t scale to keep up with infinite density. You end up having to look outside your immediate neighborhood for those amenities, but then that takes up more time than a less-dense place where you can drive to destinations. What I am getting to, is that balance is needed. I think making a small amount of room for bike lanes is fine, but banning cars and getting rid of most parking spaces goes too far.
So why does the retailer benefit from limiting like this? To sell more starter kits etc?
If I’m loading a shotgun for for home defense: somebody has broken into my home.

As per my comment above, how I load my shotgun is mostly based around my willingness to inflict harm on somebody who has broken into my home. If I’m trying to limit impact, bird shot is lovely. If not, just load the whole tube with buck shot or slug or similar.

But trying to pre-plan an escalation of force via the shotgun tube ordering is a fools errand.

Police have an escalation of force via visibly different tools. A suspect can see the difference between a stick and a taser and a gun. And a cop can choose to draw any of these in any order. Stacking the tube locks you into a specific sequence that you have to remember and that your assailant can’t know.
It's not like it's impossible to remove odors with chemical means. A very concrete example: The way lingering smoke damage is treated after scrubbing off the soot is with ozone. The smoke smell is from volatile partially oxidized hydrocarbons, and ozone just loves getting rid of an oxygen molecule and becoming O^2.

It's at least conceivable that there would be less noxious options available than ozone. An old trick is to use vinegar, seems to work.

Well, ideally the communal kitchen and eating area would essentially substitute for both restaurants and grocery stores. The potential for socializing seems a lot like that of a small college - most people socialize during meal times and people who feel more like socializing can hang out in the communal areas between meal times. Which is to say, it's a space that has a lot more social potential than the grocery store/restaurant combo. Restaurants are for celebrating and meeting people you know. I don't think anyone socializes at all in grocery stores (though simple contact has its benefits).

The "village" is divided into three neighborhood, all of which appear walkable (from a brief glance at the video). What I personally wouldn't like would be the small scale and having to buy-in and put all your eggs in the eco-village basket, so to speak.

I recently had to file an insurance claim with my car insurer. The entire process happened through their app. They require you to send them pictures that you took using their app.

One of my banks has been closing branches left and right, and if I want to use my accounts for anything other than debit purchases, I need to use the app. Some banks even charge you when you go to a branch location in person and use a teller to access your accounts.

Some jobs require you to install and use apps on your phone. Last time I was a big box retailer, the floor staff had the company's app installed on their phones so they could do instant price look ups and confirm discounts on their store's inventory.

Even just applying for a job requires an internet browser, and many people's only access to the internet is through their phone.
