It’s worth remembering that arbitration is actually a common enough practice outside of employment. Any divorce involving “mediation” is arbitration, and both parties agreed to it. The disconnect comes when the person “suggesting” arbitration (the employer) is in a position of power.

It is incredibly worrying that this post is not gaining any more traction on HN, which I presume is due to the innocuously appearing title. A more fitting headline would be "Notability Implements Subscription Model, Limits Editing Starting Nov 2022 for Current Users", which, while a very disrespectful move to the current userbase that has paid for this program believing that they'll be able to use its basic features forever, is also actively against the App Store guidelines [1]. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the current state of affairs regarding the App Store.

The App Store does not allow users to download previous versions of an app (for laypersons, that is; all versions of an app are usually still hosted on Apple's servers, but even users with an interest in tech will have to jump through a lot of hoops to download an old version of a bought app), which means that users will be barred from functionality they paid for and not be able to keep using the version of the app they bought (which makes the usual argument brought up every time people debate that companies have to switch to SaaS, because of costs incurred by developing updates, moot).

Is it such a ridiculous opinion to assume that, if I buy a paid app without in-app purchases, I will be able to keep using the existing functionality forever (or as long as no os update breaks that version, at the very least)?

[1] Taken from Reddit, as afaik there is no public version available:

Apple's guidelines, 3.1.2(a) state:

If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.
This is a process problem. The wild is exactly that, a place to experiment and learn and iterate and fail. In any professional organization, all of your concerns can be adressed with the proper talent and tooling.
That's one subset.

What people can credibly claim, because Tesla's stats are entirely loaded and biased, is that any claim AP is safer than humans is just that, a claim. Because AP will (usually) disengage in situations where it won't do well, something humans can't.

The closest you could come (maybe, who knows, because Tesla hordes the raw data like Gollum, despite their "commitment to corporate transparency") is:

"In optimal and safe driving conditions, AP may be safer than human drivers, and in less optimal conditions, uh, we don't know, because it turns off. And we won't count those miles against AP."

Tesla should actually, if they have the courage of their convictions, show how many miles are driven where AP/FSD would refuse to engage.
Not all energy is heat. I think that's a problem with expressing the change in degrees Celsius. Wind velocity is another factor of increased energy in the climate that contributes to lower temperatures (wind chill). That's why scientists have been trying to make sure people call it "global climate change" rather than "global warming" because not all energy is heat and we need to stop giving the false impression that everything is just going to be hotter: more energy in the system will cause a lot of side effects that aren't just increased heat.

Forcing me to recite my PIN every few weeks is one of the most irritating UX I’ve seen.

I’m sure there’s some smart engineer explanation in terms of cryptography and being unable to recover it if lost. But just let me disable it if I’m okay losing my entire account if I forget it.

Also last time I checked the binding of a phone number to Signal was really bad. I had a friend abandon Signal and I could never sms them ever again.

Interesting.

The blockchain is public, so they see benefit in being able to audit it.
Tesla could call it Egre-MuzzFlorp and it wouldn’t matter. The surveys showing people think “autopilot” means “can drive itself” were fatally flawed, in that they were done with non-Tesla owners.
I think that’s a little unfair. As an idea FB genuinely revolutionised person to person communications, not all for the worse. Remember what it was like before to stay connected with family and friends remotely. Swapping email addresses, posting your holiday snaps on your shared hosting server space running some cr*p Perl or PHP scripts. And that was progress. My thoughts towards Facebook are complicated. They certainly have some issues but I am not sure that makes their core mission inherently evil.
> Because the issue is that the state is forbidding academics from speaking at trials,

I don't see how you can't fathom how they are related.

> and you are roping in right-wing disdain for academia under the guise of "bias".

I'm making a simple observation about reality, motives, cause and effect. If you think that is some right-wing conspiracy theory or something that's your problem, not mine. It seems you are incapable of addressing what I wrote without resorting to ad hominmens.
Yes, and that point is most likely SAE level 5, as shown here (https://www.nhtsa.gov/technology-innovation/automated-vehicl...). We are some way away from that - just how far depends on whose hype you listen to.

I drive a Tesla Model 3, but I have sufficient grey matter to understand that AutoPilot, in spite of its name, is SAE level 2 (see above reference). If the car is involved in an impact either something hit me, or I hit something - no blame attaches to the computer, because I’m still in charge. Given the current state of the art, I’m perfectly happy with that and bloody livid at anybody who is dumb enough to buy/lease and drive one of these amazing machines without being constantly and totally aware of their limitations.
Engelbart's chording system wasn't faster than QWERTY, but chording systems of the stenographic sort are the fastest way to get fingers accurately typing words, allowing over 200-300WPM for mortals. A major source of error with QWERTY is timing. We type "teh" instead of "the" if 'e' lands 1/100th of a second before 'h'. Or we type "THe" when we meant "The" because the Shift key is error prone to hold and release just right.

Piano is known to be very hard but it forgives keys being a few milliseconds off because the ear can't hear if a C-G chord was actually C-3-milliseconds-before-G or G-3-milliseconds-before-C. (The wavelengths of the notes themselves contribute to the latency of the ear precisely determining the order each note was struck.)

So stenographic chording systems help eliminate the error of having to exactly time the ordering of key-up and key-down events. If laptops shipped with steno keyboards they'd be faster and more pleasurable to use but "good enough is the worst enemy of best" I suppose. Shakespeare and Tolstoy didn't need high speed text input systems to write all their masterpieces. Modern computerized systems for writing musical scores haven't given modern society an abundance of Beethovens and Mozarts cranking out works like the 9th Symphony and the Magic Flute at 100 measures per minute.

Funny, as I write this comment my thinking is beginning to evolve to consider that maybe we would be better off using Engelbart's speed limited 40WPM system after all? If the effort to post a comment on political Twitter were higher maybe we'd have higher quality political discussion thereon? If I had to write this HN comment long hand with quill and ink I think I would have been compelled to get my point across with half as many words....
> Or perhaps it's necessary to get things done.

Since when did commercial flight or rail stop being a way to transport people? Oh, right, it's not an option for the elite class because... reasons. They could do all of this without having several dozen private jets flying to the same places.

> It's a blame shifting mechanism

It's NOT a blame shifting mechanism, or at least that's not how I'm using it. What I'm saying is that your privileges are being revoked for transportation, theirs are not. You are being shamed for taking a commercial flight, but they are not, even when using private jets.

Finally, consider the rhetoric they are pushing. They are saying that this is an "emergency," meanwhile they are observably NOT acting like it's an emergency. This is a classic case of "they've got theirs," and it's clear that they don't plan on making any sacrifices that result in a lower standard of living for themselves.
That's the same with many markets though. Market cap is a pretty silly metric to use for almost any market.
> I didn't buy a Tesla because of its Autopilot feature. If they pulled the feature today, I'd be totally fine with that.

Many many people paid $1000+ for the promise of Full Self-Driving that doesn't exist. People definitely care about the Autopilot feature a lot more than you.

> It's like a "smart" cruise control

Except they call it Autopilot! You can't call something Autopilot and then blame people for expecting the car to drive itself.

Call it lane assist or cruise control plus or something.

Do you think that's really the reason they are abandoning it? I think the bigger issue is probably that most of their friends are not on there and they use it less frequently until they abandon it.

visa, paypal... all provide value in allowing commercial transitions. Exchange of goods and services, digitally or on credit. The value it is providing is eliminating the inefficiency of barter (which cash also does), and allowing remote digital transactions, again good for societal benefit.

There is no societal benefit to buying, holding, selling a crypto currency.

The thing that could provide societal value is smart contracts - but that has nothing to do with crypto. Visa (or Stripe) could implement smart contracts in javascript on top of their platform and society gets pretty much all of the benefits without needing any of the crypto.

Fair. And I think I know what you're referring to.

Yes, they do upload your contact list, but I believe there's a prompt at setup time that allows you to opt out? It might even be an OS-level prompt to the tune of "Signal would like to access your Contacts". Not 100% sure on that one as I haven't set up a brand new Signal installation in years.

It's done to help their user acquisition. It uploads your contacts to match against other contact lists and let you know who's on Signal. I recall seeing a blog post explaining how they are doing it in a fully encrypted way, possibly using Secure Enclave (? though I think the 2021 version of that would probably involve ZK proofs/homomorphic encryption of some kind, and I hope they put some time into that).

I don't recall ever having to set a PIN specifically for that. And besides, a 4-6 digit PIN would be a terribly insecure way to "encrypt" anything server-side :) But yes, that would be a shame if it were the case.

> I think you are disingenuously being asked to provide a source for an observation that you made informally

So one thinks it is safe to blanket label 'cryptocurrencies' meaning 'all of them' being harmful to the environment due to a basic and very lazy 'observation'. Unfortunately that was left unsubstantiated.

> However, out of annoyance I went and found a source that you can use if you'd like.

I see. So it is 'annoying' to substantiate your own comments? I don't want to repeat the same line that mentions this in the HN guidelines and it doesn't matter if it is informal or not.

My only request was for a source to this. The commenter knew that the burden of proof was on them to substantiate their assumption and they knew could not provide one or answer the other question.

I accept the source given here which answers the 'observation' claim, it doesn't however, answer if it is the case for every single cryptocurrency since the paper focuses on only two specific ones instead of the rest of them.

You could make the same claim about any kind of money though. Whose to say the USD or GOLD or CAD or tree bark is real money? A productive asset is an entirely different thing. It's not easy to convert an asset for instance or walk across a border with it.
