Comcast/xfinity is horrible, last month during the atmospheric river my parents lost internet for 4 days. There was no update ever of when it would come back and their CS agent actually suggested that although they are working from home they should go use a public xfinity wifi spot... I suggested to him that he turn off his internet and go work at a public wifi point and tell me if that's a good solution

> NFTs are the digital equivalent of designer clothes, luxury watches, and fancy cars.

I feel like a lot of people (particularly on this site) see these kinds of things as shallow, uninteresting, and contributory to a lot of the worst parts of society. It feels… odd… to hear them invoked as a positive/useful thing.

Like, yes, I get it, a lot of people are shallow and want status symbols to fill the voids in their souls and give their lives meaning. But the idea of taking the clout-chasing mechanics that wreak so much havoc on society and going “what if we had more of that?”… well it feels a little like trying to invent digital junk food because real world junk food sells so well.
Last year I told Robinhood to "delete (not just close) my account and related data." I hadn't used the service in years and wanted to reduce their annoying "your account statement: still $0" emails as well as to reduce my online exposure to data breaches.

Now I get an email from them that not only did they not do what I asked, they did indeed serve my data to criminals.

Is there some legal mechanism to compel companies to delete your data rather than this "soft-delete" garbage? Registering an account with a new website these days feels more and more like a stain one will never be able to wash away.

I recently read "The Value of Nothing: Capital vs Growth" [1]. (Edit, it was here on HN [2] a week ago). It helped me understand the disconnect in the modern economy; the primary goal is to increase the value of assets and returns on capital rather than the underlying performance and economic growth. It's a long read, but here are a few paragraphs that look an awful lot like this split of GE into three separate companies:

> ...A corporate sector dominated by institutional asset managers and executives whose compensation is based on near-term equity returns is highly incentivized to engage in activities intended to expand valuations even if there is no impact, or a negative impact, on earnings. Such strategies include spinoffs that aim to “unlock” value simply by isolating business units expected to trade at higher valuations, or other forms of financial engineering like stock buybacks. ...

> Consider, for example, the case of IBM, which plans to spin off its IT infrastructure division this year in order to “focus on high-margin cloud computing.” The move is being cheered on Wall Street be­cause it is believed that the two businesses will be worth more as separate entities than as one. In particular, the remaining IBM cloud business should command a higher multiple once freed from lower-margin, slower-growing divisions.

> IBM has followed this same playbook for years: “We divested networking back in the ’90s, we divested PCs back in the 2000s, we divested semiconductors about five years ago . . . ,” said IBM’s CEO, explaining the spin-off. As a result of this strategy, IBM’s revenues and net earnings are lower today than they were in 1998. But its stock price and P/E ratio are higher.

This is a positive outcome for their financing arm - they've generated an increase in the value of their assets without having to risk any capital expenditure. Investors can speculate up the value of GE shares in the energy industry, or healthcare, or defense, without worrying about the other two holding their investment back. Whether the resulting companies is any more productive of actual goods and services than the unified company is irrelevant.

The difference is that lawyers act in a structured environment with specific rules on how things should be considered - you bring up all the possible claims because if any of them get thrown out, it doesn't impact the others.

It's not the same with general discourse - when you raise a bunch of issues that aren't especially relevant and seem designed to be inflammatory, you damage the credibility of your other arguments. Arguing that test proctoring software is transphobic is such a stretch that it makes you question whether they author has such strong biases against the software that their evaluation of it is just generally too biased to be trustworthy.

Pfizer and BioNTech expected to ask regulators to clear boosters for all adults
Yeah, I was worried that I'd painted the second company as the bad guys. They were not. They made different choices. And both have been extremely influential in terms of process, but... influential at different extremes.

At the perfectionist company we were six weeks away from final release - for a year. On the other hand, that company's codebase almost brought me to tears with its conceptual unity and perfection. And some process was worthwhile for us; we were adding fintech features to a userbase of hundreds of millions.

At the speedy company we did social media, so there were way lower stakes. Projects turned around really fast. LAMP stack all the way. The attitude was that code would always be kind of sloppy and unpredictable, and there would always be unforeseen disasters. To cushion shocks like that, they invested a lot in their feature flag and deployment system.

These are both paths borne of wisdom and experience.

But here's where culture comes in. The culture at both companies was that these weren't choices that worked for them, but the optimal choice for everyone. At either company I think most people would think the other company's approach was not just bad, but literally impossible.

> wtf really, is this happening? are there no privacy laws in the USA?

There are privacy laws in the US (both federally and in the states), they aren't, however, optimally adapted to the circumstances at issue (moreover, the actual practices may not align with the law; having a law does not itself automatically cause behavior to conform.)
there's nothing stopping you from minting an nft for any image afaik.
One nice thing about San Francisco is we have many great alternatives for ISPs. Comcast truly is terrible. Wave Broadband is an excellent competing cable Internet company. Sonic is the best ISP I have ever had or could even imagine; reliable symmetric gigabit fiber, super low latency (4ms to the edge, it's all glass), tech support that knows what they're doing. There's also MonkeyBrains for 100+Mbps fixed wireless. Not all of these are available everywhere, particularly across the whole Bay Area, but compared to most of America that's captive to a duopoly of mediocrity we're pretty well off.
Having a windowless bedroom isn't some terrible tragedy that happens to you. It's a minor inconvenience and bit of adversity that is temporary. Probably about 20% of all of the people that I know who moved to New York to pursue their dreams lived for at least a year in an illegal windowless-bedroom shared apartment (they exist because there is demand for cheap housing).

Young people need to be challenged with small bits of adversity from time to time to overcome instead of being coddled and incapable of dealing with real, adult problems by themselves.

I say this as someone who had to drop out of college and become homeless before really getting on my feet in my mid-20s. So many of my peers bitch and moan and live NEET lifestyles as they're pushing 40 because their parents and society promised them the world after college and they never learned that nothing is achieved without hard work.

Meme stocks like GameStop, AMC pose risks to financial stability, Fed says
I kind of always wanted to be an architect, and my skillset largely seems inclined toward it; so much so that growing up, my dad was sure it was what I’d do. But EVERY exposure I had to young people in the industry, and even education to an extent (Saw a passionate friend quit the UMich program) belied the sentiment we’re bemoaning here. I wound up consigning my impulses to representational painting.

Out of curiosity, before modernism, what would an architecture curriculum have looked like? Are there any foundational texts?

*I don’t hate modernism, lots of it is pretty cool. However, I hate what it did to the pedagogy of painting. It set me back ten years because it was so hard to find anyone who knew what they were talking about. Western art departments figuratively and literally destroyed the basis for teaching representational aesthetics, which had been developed for thousands of years, and then celebrated themselves for doing so. Now, relatively, no one knows how to draw.

I suspect something similar happened in architecture, and in light of that, I don’t know who to trust or approach on how to start self-learning. I’ll never build cool buildings, but I can design them and use architecture to inform my painting.
I wasn't talking anything at all about non-capitalist societies, don't understand where you're coming from.

OK, so you're a right-libertarian. In that case I suspect we won't agree, because I think capitalism has to be constrained or we'd be heading back towards Victorian working conditions. Not universally, but the most exploitative employers would surely love to strip some more workers' rights away.

> People are used to the leftist way of thinking about "us vs them" and automatically think of corporations and "employers" as evil oppressors.

Eh, a lot do, but I don't. Capitalism is a system that encourages becoming a capitalist, and rewards greater sociopathy in being a capitalist. That means that some people like Jeff Bezos are pretty obviously exploitative, but the problem is the system that incentivises such behaviour, not that people with low moral standards are capable of following incentive models to their inevitable conclusions.

> I think "workers" are just a social construct

If you mean that wage labour is a social construct, then yes - under capitalism. "Workers" are people who perform labour, and is not a social construct. If you start a freelance business, you are both a worker and a capitalist; that's what being self-employed is.

> Now regulators perhaps give unions the right to determine how I am supposed to work. That's completely fucked up.

Unions represent your workers, so it's not the regulators negotiating how you work, it's the people who actually do that work.

> The correct response to bad working conditions is for employees to quit and change jobs.

If that worked, then companies with bad working conditions would be shutting down from lack of workforce. This isn't happening systemically, so clearly this approach does not work. Amazon is one of the biggest companies on the planet and it's been well-documented how badly their workers are exploited.

> here in Europe we have to senselessly click on cookie banners thousands of times, because of a misguided regulation on cookies.

I agree that this regulation is pretty stupid, and would've been better implemented as a legally-required setting in your browser. Do-Not-Track with teeth, essentially.

> Worse, we will soon have upload filters, destroying freedom of speech for good, as "indie publishers" won't be able to afford the required infrastructure and legal teams

This is done for the protection of copyright, no? I thought you would be in agreement with this, as it benefits corporations.
1. Humans are social beings
2. Humans are customers
3. Social proof implies value
4. Value loosely implies dollars

Note for socialists: that is not capitalism, that is the reality of humans being humans.

Humans value some things more than others. When people see that many others are attracted to the same thing, they jump in with both feet. It satisfies their need for acceptance into the popular group and their need for the value of the underlying solution. This combined effect is the likely cause of the exponential nature of the curve presented.

I suppose this probably also implies the exponential distribution of income and wealth. But I won’t conclude that without further reading.

At any rate, I can’t imagine the dystopian world where human values are automated out of economic behavior. It might look something like the Soviet experiment, or something worse.

The bottom line is that getting traction for a new product, technology, work of art, or any other unit of value is really hard. The approach the author might consider is a way to better reach the hearts and minds of the customer, with or without machine learning as they suggest, while making people feel connected.

They go through several years of medical residency under supervision before becoming a full fledged doctor and are burdened by expensive liability insurance and ongoing education requirements. That takes care of the competency beforehand.

By that logic, you only "own" your house.
This is not unique to NFTs, and is based upon the trust you have for the artist / gallery that is selling the work.

If---in the traditional art world---you buy a $35,000 fine art photograph from a limited edition of 10 prints by the photographer, you also trust that the artist will not make a second run of 100 prints. Or if they do, that the second run will be denoted and priced differently, so that the original run retains most of its value.
or ... they just sold the data.

Big Tech: You Owe the Bay Area Reparations
No, as someone who actually produces parts under DOD contracts, they really DO want the work done. Corrolary to Gen. Patton's statement, they are not in the business of getting our sailors to give their lives for our country, they are in the business of getting the enemy sailors to give their lives for their country.

I can also say that there are a range of engineering specs, and some are absolutely critical and some are just specified out of habit. It IS our job to communicate with the customer (whether DOD or prime contractor) and determine which is which, and charge appropriately.

I.e., if there is some spec that will cost a lot to build into the component and there is a more efficient or cost-effective way to get sufficiently similar results, then we should (and do) propose that change, and if they say "OK", get it in writing, and if they say "nope, we really need that feature as spec'd", then charge properly for it and make damn sure it is done and documented. Plus, get all the exchanges in writing, it doesn't always have to be formal proposals & change orders, often just email is fine.

I'd say that the vast majority of the time when something creates a production problem, or some subcomponent, coating, etc. is unavailable (like one time a handful of component X was now out of production and the new minimum order quantity was like 20K parts, so a line item that should have been maybe $50 would now be $25K+), a quick discussion will usually resolve issue, such as "yes, it's ok to increase the radius there", "yes that other component/coating is an acceptable substitute" or "what do you recommend as a substitute?". But there are those times where the answer is "we really need it with those crazy tolerances to mate to this other component".

So, yes, unless you have some direct evidence of the CYA behavior you describe, I'd strongly recommend against treating it as you suggest.
I love those kinds of posts. Always something that you keep for life.
Well yeah, but industry has funded basic research with some hope there will be profit, and governments have damaged public health and lied to cover it up, so they're basically the same unless you happen to know the motive in a given case.
