I don’t understand why LinkedIn is and need to be so heavy and slow at all. In a way, similar to Facebook I guess?

Even though they provide several services - social network, jobs (for hiring managers and jobseekers), learning etc., none of them really have any tight integration with each other and can easily exist as separate services.

The website and apps are clunky and slow to load and has tons of dark patterns (contacts upload, profile visit tracking, everything over-shared by default, email blast when you sign-up etc.). I have heard LinkedIn hires lot of bright people and pays them quite well - but why their product still sucks?
I thought the point of the phrase was that you had fucked up?
It may be hard for people who weren't using computers back then to understand what a leap this was, why it was worth applause. I never had a Mac, but I appreciate what it did to drive the industry toward usability.
I know it is 2017, but that is a very long time in the gaming/mech keyboard market. I remember just about 10 years ago when mech keyboards were a niche for weirdos and a few others that swore by their Model M's - you now can buy these in Walmart. The point about discrepancy is well taken* but I think the bigger point is on the rtings list the number of offerings that are an order of magnitude lower latency - such that the methodology used in your link is not even viable.

Sounds like you are drinking the linkedin kool-aid. Recruiters and hiring managers don't care if you have a linkedin account or not. Some recruiters pay linkedin to find and spam people, but that's about it.
Well they have been a bit more restricted in terms of privacy exploitation though their usual telemetry is there of course. MS just love telemetry :( So much they won't allow us a choice in the matter.

But they have been pushing it a bit as a more privacy centric version of Chrome right?

Tbh I never really saw the point in it especially after they moved to chromium. It's not much better at privacy than Chrome. It doesn't work any better because it's really just Chrome. It doesn't add any features Chrome doesn't have except for O365 users that get some integration there. So why are we supposed to love it? I thought it was more interesting when they made their own engine.

I still find it a weird value proposition as a user. I use it for work but privately Firefox does me just fine.
It is attacking the theory, or at least pointing out that it isn't so much a theory as it is a musing. It seems to have as much credence as my own theory that it was to keep evil spirits out.

That reminds me of a Jewish folktale: a poor man borrowed some silver spoons from a miser to impress his daughter's visiting suitor, and returned them with a tin teaspoon, explaining that the spoons had given birth. The miser thought this ridiculous but happily accepted the free teaspoon.

The same thing happened the next week and the miser again accepted the free teaspoon.

The week after the poor man asked to borrow the miser's gold candlesticks, because this was the last week the suitor was in town and he really wanted to impress. The next day he informed the miser that the candlesticks had sadly died.

The miser, furious, dragged the poor man in front of the rabbi to demand justice. But the rabbi, listening to their story, concurred that since the miser was happy to accept the baby spoons, he must likewise accept the death of his gold candlesticks.
In which case, I demand compensation from you for the inconvenience of reading this post. Negative externality.

i.e. in another story, the neighbor could have hated the smell of the restaurant, and demanded compensation for the restaurant, and compensation was the sound of jingling coins.
Just to think about how this comment will reach y’all:

None of these feats were managed by evolution, yet we did it, and it’s now usual, we don’t even notice it.

I think that AI will be the same. Yes it’s a bit complicated, but in the last 10 years we made an astonishing great amount of progress. 10 more years and we might surpass our fixed capacities. What happen after that ?

So far our brain seems to be a physical process (not magical), and there is no reason to believe that we can not emulate or even surpass our abilities in silicon.

I switched tech stacks from Java on backend to TypeScript on backend and I'm quite happy that I can afford to use VSCode instead of IDEA now. While IDEA is absolutely wonderful IDE with magical capabilities, the speed and the fact that config is obscure complicated XML that can't be easily committed to the repo makes me want to use something else. If had to do java I'd still go with Idea though, whatever that thing from RedHat in VSCode is, it is not even close.

On that note, my wife either sets to the absolute minimum (60F) or max (80F) and alternates between the two extremes as she inevitably becomes too hot or too cold with one of those settings. I've tried my best to help her understand the insanity of it, but no luck yet. I think it's actually a throwback to the days when there was just red and blue to indicate gradually larger amounts of hot or cold.

Germany is public-private healthcare insurance driven healthcare model compared to the pure play private insurance or out-of-pocket driven healthcare model in the US and other poor countries. Germany has statutory public insurance while the examples I’m quoting including the US don’t have any such. For a private driven healthcare system, it’s strange there are no smaller, cheaper and nimble competitors.

I wonder if our switch from analogue to digital computing is what makes this so very hard to model? I'm just spitballing wildly, as I know near nothing about neurons, but from what little I understood from a neuroscientist friend, neural signals propagate based on electric and chemical thresholds being reached, but then there's so many interactions that can amplify or reduce these things, and it all sounded rather like old school signal engineering to me (I used to hang out with radio engineers at an old job, and also listened avidly while understanding little).

One thing that stuck with me from the radio engineers is that something as commonplace as a Yagi antenna can't be fully modeled due the to sheer number of interactions, and developing new designs often requires an iterative trial and error approach.

Caveat - I was told this in the mid 2000s, so maybe it's changed since then.
A lot less than 'completely'. A big chunk of software is commissioned, and another big chunk of software is open source.
There was this (mis)conception a while ago about FF's speed compared to Chrome. Also, its UI looked a bit outdated (not that you couldn't skin it) compared to Chrome, Opera, etc. But with the recent changes in the past 2-3 years, FF has proven once again to be superior in almost all aspects. It even looks and feels more modern than Chrome. Couple that with the way the redesigned the mobile app (esp. on Android) and you get users like me who ditch Chrome on all platforms and start using FF again.

I've been to Shenzhen and seen (been taught) how they reball BGAs for phones in the markets, none of that futzing about with solder balls - they just clean the pads on the chips, re-tin them, lots of flux, then place the steel pad stencil over the top of the pads, spread solder paste over and through the holes, wipe off any excess then hit it with some hot air until you see the balls form, if you do it right the stencil will just pop off (don't push it)

another crappy experience with a Dell xps15 9575... the feeling of a laptop built to quickly auto desintegrate, with crappy components, bad BT/wifi module, very unreliable touchpad, butter screws... everything sucked ass. I remember also not being able to use the laptop 90 degrees on its side to see a movie for example because the keyboard would stop working and the fan would start to run at max speed. that was the worst laptop I've ever had and the most expensive too. never again dell for me.

after that I bought a custom 14 inch laptop in pcspecialist back when they still had amd ryzen models (Ryzen 7 4800H 8 cores, 64 Gb ram, no preinstalled OS...) which is the best laptop I've ever had in my entire life. It's been complete opposite experience in terms of enjoyment and reliability, with very few issues using Linux (my only complain the inability to put to sleep, because it messes up the video after waking up even with the latest kernel).
Fellow 9570 user here; I upgraded my RAM, but my biggest complaint with it by far is around power management. Even running Windows 10 and nothing "weird" as far as VMs or whatever, it feels like I get completely unpredictable battery life— sometimes it's 6 hours no problem, other times it's at 50% after just an hour. Most troubling still is that I've had multiple instances of bringing the computer out of sleep after it was sitting on the charger, and then a moment later it goes into a battery panic and shuts itself down. But then after rebooting (on external power), it shows the battery as full again and doesn't charge any further.

I basically can't depend on the computer to be usable on battery unless I fully shut it down when I know it's full.
A lot of ISPs were saying something much stupider, which was "the data flows are unbalanced, so pay us to peer".

Every single laptop in the RYF list includes proprietary unauditable microcode. So do many of the other products there, e.g. that Bluetooth dongle which probably has about half a megabyte of proprietary firmware.

I have a PS4, and it's been great so far. It's low power (Solar panels are my main source of electricity) and the performance is great. I don't really enjoy gaming on small devices, and I prefer reading when I'm outside (Kindle). I also don't enjoy gaming on laptop (too expensive) and most desktop PC are too power consuming.
It's quite usual for laptops if you know where to look for.

Before buying I usually check schematics, as they are often more precise than the specs (say, about PCIe lanes assignment, to avoid bad surprises)

You buy the right to sell that digital piece - others can copy as they please, but only the owner of the NFT can sell/transfer/destroy it (depending on the contract, of course). So it’s closer to a “deed” to a digital asset than a “watermark”. Digital art has always been copyable bit for bit, and that property will likely never change. You can’t compare it to a physical painting, and saying clonability invalidates something as art would also invalidate music, video, and any other fork of digital content.

You can’t “copy the list of owners” either, not sure where you got that from.
Any video of this particular trick?
Ah cool, will try this out. Thanks.
It’s simply astounding to me that if someone runs for an election saying they will reduce home prices, they are guaranteed to lose as land and homeowners simply don’t want that to happen. They don’t care about people who don’t have homes or simply cannot afford to even rent but only about protecting their ‘investment’. The whole setup about HOAs, bylaws, zonal regulations etc. all written around protecting the ‘investment’ instead of just seeing a home as a place to live exacerbates the problem.

There actually are several silver bullets to use like - efficient use of land, better zoning regulations and including more use of land to build more homes etc. but they are all non-starters because of greedy land and home owners.
Developing countries go with the cheaper option. Is higher density cheaper? No not in low value real estate which is found in developing countries.

In such jurisdiction, copyright attributions/assignments are simply not legally possible. We've had to scrap the one in place for on of our projects.

The type of contract you should have contributors from such jurisdictions sign is a license to use. If you haven't, getting 'permission' is meaningless; the author possibly (in my experience: probably) doesn't know they're actually not legally able to agree to such a change.

They do not break it every release. The last one I had to be concerned about was 6.8->6.9 and I remember one breaker before that (the queue thing?). You have six months to make mostly minor changes to pf.conf before you are out of support. They release every six months and patch the last release.

The changes aren't made for the heck of it, they make a more consistent system overall with new knowledge.

Mass Address - Privacy. For the people, by the people

Every year in America, over 35 million Americans change their address. The current process involves selling your change-of-address information to 3rd parties who in turn sell it to businesses and/or government agencies. Hackers and enemy nation-states can pose as legitimate businesses and pay to get updated addresses on 160 million Americans, and there is no process in place to stop this practice, it happens every day.

As the world's first Citizen Identity Management platform, Mass Address allows citizens and businesses to change their address privately by only notifying organizations they actually have an account with. By operating on this principle, it puts the citizen in control of who gets access to their change of address. When a citizen controls access to their identity, identity and address fraud are significantly reduced or eliminated.

In the second paragraph the author refers to Arendt, almost off-handedly, as an "apologist for Nazism". This strikes me as deeply offensive and wrong-headed. I'm no intellectual but I've read plenty of Arendt, including the referred-to "Banality of Evil" and in no way was it an apology for or defense of Nazism.

Arendt famously described Eichmann as "neither perverted nor sadistic... terrifyingly normal." Now, my understanding is that modern scholarship has repudiated this view. Eichmann, they now believe, was indeed a malicious and violent anti-semite, and Arendt was bamboozled by a cunning liar at his trial.

This very well may be true, but it certainly does not make Arendt a Nazi apologist. The quoted passage was condemnatory in the extreme. It was written (as an article for the New Yorker) in Arendt's detached and ironic style, but certainly it was not an excuse or apology for Nazi functionaries.
