Speaking as an “ACOW” and parent - if that Roblox and Minecraft time is genuine; if you’re helping support them and enable whatever zany and clever things they’re creating, then it counts. It matters.

If you’re just there to say you did it; it doesn’t.

Don’t worry if you’re stumbling every now and again, or you get occasionally distracted. No one is perfect. Just make sure to tell yourself “this time together is about focusing on what they want to do” and you’ll be ok.
that's cool looks pretty easy to use

It's interesting the handoff though eg. cashapp or something else vs. directly through Twitter

yeah... there's all kinds of things to consider managing money yourself
Thanks; my assembly experience was with earlier processors, with a single argument for their test instruction (kind of like calling x86 test with two same arguments). I should have checked what the x86 test instruction does before replying.
No. Not by the state. As a result of the riots. These people wouldn't have been dead had it not been for the riots. Read the article and don't skip things that don't agree with you.
Confusingly Apple actually has a few ‘Apple TV’ product. There’s the app that you’re describing then there’s the physical device, as well as the subscription service.

The physical device is the Roku competitor, and supports Netflix/Disney+ etc.

This probably isn't what the parent meant, but also:

I began using Twitter a week ago after avoiding it for years. Imo it incentivizes you to gain likes/followers, but in order to do so you have to tailor your content to appeal to bots/algo/quick-digestion. And it's not fun tweeting if nobody interacts, so you end up self-censoring to post clickbaity hype content
Why? Are people with Ph.D.s not allowed to attempt humor on April Fools'?
Decreasing aggressive socialization as society becomes more egalitarian would seem to be evidence for the _opposite_ of "aggressive male socialization". And that points to the baseline level of male aggression being higher than it is in egalitarian societies.
Hello!

Interesting explanation.

I just want to note that both Oracle and SQL Server use READ COMMITTED as default too, so most people get the same isolation level.

Anyway this is something that surprises most of juniors devs.
Ungoogled Chromium isn't new. It predates Brave by years. And Brave is funded by advertising, just like Google. (In theory, at least, if the company becomes self-sustaining.) I'm not sure why we needed to add cryptocurrency to that formula.
The theater is in the (somewhat) illusory notion that precautions could prevent it from happening. Prosecuting a crime is absolutely not the same thing as actual security. If a modestly funded department at a university can do this, it's within reach for pretty much any state-level actor. And just like deepfakes are much easier & available for scammers today than they were 5 years ago, the same will go for adversarial images.

5 years ago it would have been pretty much unthinkable that a ransomware attack could actually take down most of the eastern US petrol pipeline infrastructure but here we are, no one prosecuted, and apparently the only thing stopping other high profile attacks is the forebearance and self-policing of the thieves themselves.
It's a very common type of property tax law in the USA, and quite popular here on HN (see: opposition to Prop. 13 in CA).
That's already a problem. Developing nations are consuming an ever expanding amount of fossil fuels. And they're sure as hell not going to stop, because the advantage to their citizens of developing their infrastructure towards Western standards of living far outweighs projected threats of climate change.

Developed countries are already making okish strides on decarbonizing, but how can we in the first world effectively decree that the developing world must halt or slow progress towards the lifestyles that we enjoy. That reeks of a new kind of colonialism, and simply won't go over well without the threat of global violence.

The only way we'll actually make strides on decarbonization is with some kind of global carbon tax. I'm not going to pretend I know how we accomplish that, but if we can't, we're not going to mitigate climate change in any reasonable way.
What I love about Firefox on Android: sending pages to my other devices. So when I see an interesting webpage on the subway, I can send it to my office computer and read it later.
Pedantic Post Alert, but there's a few different products called "Apple TV". There's the hardware box called Apple TV that comes with a remote and plugs into the HDMI on your TV. That IS an alternative to Roku.

Then there's the Apple TV app, which runs on the Apple TV box. This can integrate with some other streaming services and show you their content in the app. Not Netflix or HBO (or some others) though.

And finally (that's all?) there's the Apple TV+ service that's 4.99 a month and lets you watch shows that Apple produces in the Apple TV app on the Apple TV box (or your iPhone, iPad, etc.)

It's all named very well and clear.
Thank you for the book Guy persuaded you to write. I’ve met him a couple of times and he has always been a superb speaker and story teller who could spot the thread of narrative that leads from the things we know to the things we think we know. The world is more interesting for the both of you.
The Hartz employment reforms in Germany
It could even mean the opposite of each of these, depending on your perspective.

- Maybe it's evil to do business in China, because it requires you to censor search results.

- Or maybe it's evil not to, because you deprive Chinese people of an important utility, and you don't actually make them better off in any other way.

- Maybe doing business with ICE is evil, because kids in cages.

- Or maybe avoiding ICE is evil, because it's unpatriotic or undemocratic!

Every single one of these actions or inactions could be construed to be evil depending upon one's personal values, moral code, or even one's understanding of various contested facts involved in the decision-making!
>Or to put it another way, don't have mottos.

Having a motto is fine. Asking your employees to comply with a completely vague and subjective objective in their employment contract is asking for trouble, however.

Xeno comes from Xenopus laevis, a species of frog. It's a commonly used model organism and I believe often the source of the cells used in xenobots.

And I sure hope they didn't download and install their OS from a premade image too, you really can't trust canonical and the rest of those gangs these days!
Of course you can't, its just a visual aid. The point is to say that if a cipher _completely_ breaks down at (some imaginable amount of data), then its probably not behaving itself too well at (some much more reasonable, but still large, amount of data). AES-CTR already starts to questionable in some respects at 2^40 encryption with the same key (nonce isn't relevant, it changes with every block anyway), which is only 128TiB. Sure that's a lot for the average joe, but one could eaisly imagine someone wanting to encrypt that much data with a single key, just go checkout /r/datahoarder if you don't believe me.

And sure, good key rotation fixes that, but that's another foot-gun, and how should the average end user know if their application is using proper key rotation or not?
So would it be better/fine if Tesla randomized the CV ML models to some extent? I actually feel the answer is probably "yes", surprisingly...
It's also theater if the ratio between actual protection and perceived protection is highly disproportionate, like with the TSA in the US.

Fascinating. You'd think you'd have to be in some kind of security type role to be able to do this if they had access / control over an extension on google employee computers.

Kind of funny seeing maybe some google naivete and the "do no evil" thing come back to bite google.

When I was in high school I had a fair bit of fun going outside the permitted guidelines. By college I'd developed a reasonable sense of boundaries with other folks equipment / jobs with a trust element.

If I pushed a pop-up notice out company wide with a message my employer didn't approve of, I'd definitely be expecting to be going out the door rather than doing the litigation process.

Having worked a bit in govt interesting to see the NLRB pursue this, in govt my experience was a REDICULOUSLY dim view would be taken of something like this.

>privacy enabling features of firefox that are served as extensions like the containers feature can suddenly and without warning stop working.

containers is a core feature of the browser. The addon (Firefox Multi-Account Containers) only adds some niceties like an addon button to start containers, and auto-assigning sites to containers. Without the addon, you can still manage containers by going to about:preferences#containers and open a tab in a given container by long pressing the new tab button.
No disagreement that free speech is important, but the solution proposed up-thread wouldn't safeguard it. In practice, it would instead limit controversial content to only a small set of sites while everything else (for fear of lawsuits currently headed off by S230 protections) would either close shop or become more moderated than it already is.

... This is in addition to the legal / philosophical criticism that the government repealing S230 protection for all but a few websites would be equivalent to the government providing libel-lawsuit protection to only a few state-sanctioned media outlets. Wholly incompatible with the first amendment.

>The origin of "don't be evil" had nothing to do with politics.

- "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - Somebody

- "Most evil are created by those who think themselves as so righteous" - Me

It doesn't really matter what are their intentions. The moment you label yourself as "no evil" ( or Saint ) is the moment some people will absolutely scrutinise the heck out of you. To some ( if not many ) on HN, the act of selling ads itself is "evil".

I will add this Tech / Silicon Valley startup "saving the world" as the force of "Good" started with Google. When the media and PR were hyping Google could do no wrong. Further helping to enhance its image as Saint. ( And possibly good for hiring ). At least I dont see it during IBM or Microsoft era.

It is nice this finally backfire, only 20 years too late. Not sure if I will see the days of things backfire from Apple. I am already old.
I am not sure how to make out of this article. Level 4 sounds like most food factories, from producing breads, cookies, ice creams, instant noodles, to frozen pizza. Where does the 2020s timeline come from?

Supporting manifests to "install" a webapp to my home screen isn't something difficult for Apple/Safari team.

They just don't get their cut from it, so, not a priority.
That isn't a particularly satisfying excuse here, given that (1) supposedly innate qualities don't disappear in high school, and (2) the history of human civilization is dominated by cultures in which teenagers are considered adults for the purposes of working, warring, &c. Put another way: the historical record considers "talents" to be present in human beings well into the age at which we send kids to high school in developed, industrialized countries.
Perhaps I have made a terrible mistake...
First of all, thank you for writing a great book.

"Three months later, the story found its way to the front page of the NY Times."

I don't get this part of your comment.

What story? Any links? And how did it make it to the nytimes?
> They signed an employee code of conduct which included "Don't Be Evil"

No, the more key part is: “[...] everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. [...] And if you have a question or ever think that one of your fellow Googlers or the company as a whole may be falling short of our commitment, don’t be silent.”

There legal allegation is not that the company action was evil. It’s that it was reasonably within the realm of subjectively questionable conduct that the company had, in a binding contract with employees, demanded to be alerted to when employees had concerns, and that therefore retaliating against employees for their internal action consistent with that binding agreement is illegal.
I’d recommend looking into Andy Weir for success stories.
Really?

Why did Spotify and Pax Labs make PWAs again?
This is an aspect of the audiophile community, I've never quite understood. At work, we have clear cut engineering goals, based on customer requirements, we strive to reach, with empirical measurements of product prototypes. Whether it's loudspeakers or cabinets designs, we're optimizing for variables such as coverage pattern, sensitivity, long-term power handling, etc. It's a holistic, system design approach to the "product". We rarely even think about a lot of the metrics the audiophile cares such much about, except in the design of QC systems for End-of-line testing, to catch manufacturing defects. Most of these items, like various avenues of distortion, are designed around in the early phases of development, by simple mechanical or electrical engineering choices, such as motor design, suspension design, cone material choices, etc.

I just always find it interesting. No customer has ever asked me for the plot of distortion products vs freq for a loudspeaker in pro-audio. Or the metallurgic compositions of the tinsel wires.
You can see the whole legal argument - it's linked from the first sentence of the article, and it quotes the relevant section of the employee code of conduct: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21119310-google_comp...

> “Don’t be evil.” Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information. focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services we can. But it's also about doing the right thing more generally ~ following the law, acting honorably and treating each other with respect.

That is pretty specific. You need to provide users unbiased access to information, focus on their needs, and give them the best products and services you can. You also need to follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect.

The courts do in fact understand legally-binding terms to mean something. (See also the fact that IBM's lawyers sought a specific exemption from the JSON license's "The Software shall be used for Good, and not Evil," because they knew there was a chance the courts would find something they did "Evil," because if it's in a contract, it means something.) So what do they mean?

Some of these clauses - "giving them the best products and services we can," "acting honorably," etc. - are a little squishy. But "providing our users unbiased access to information" is pretty clear-cut.

The plaintiffs organized against Dragonfly, a censored version of Google that would provide users biased access to information. IMO they've got a pretty good case that the employee handbook, which they had to abide by to keep their job, told them to do that.
Frankly, this is true for any "tourist attraction." The attraction has limited geography. The population is increasing. Housing supply is relatively fixed, demand isn't.

Either these attrictions build vertical, or suddenly more tourist attraction locations come online, or mortgage rates increase significantally for any home after the first one.

None of those things are going to happen.

Natural intelligence is inexplicable and often produces sentences that are incoherent.
No, Firefox's default setting is to upgrade even more aggressively than I'm experiencing. And, it's worth pointing out, the browser works fine, except that I'm prevented from opening a new tab. Sometimes I really don't want the interruption, and I just copy URLs and recycle tabs. That goes fine, it's just an annoyance considered by the developers to be a feature.

You are just dead set to not see what you don't want to see. The link I posted was about the mob attacking Ron Paul. A sitting senator. He likely would have been injured or dead had it not been for the police. The article isn't about chanting.

You asked "Did they attack the seat of government with the explicit goal of abducting, raping and killing elected officials". This is an "explicit" example of the mob attacking an elected US senator. Or it only counts when "right" people are attacked?

You also stated: "to interfere with a democratic process and establish autocratic rule". That's exactly what Seattle's “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” was - an attempt to interfere with a democratic process. Last I checked, no one has elected those people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Occupied_Protest

So if you are condemn capital riots, don't forget the summer riots as well.
It's a real term used in the finance industry to refer to investors pushing for changes that often run counter to what current management/board wants.

Yes. Because there is nothing esoteric about knowing how people dressed if you are going to talk about their lives.

No. Just honest and at least slightly competent.
I boot into Windows for gaming and when I launch a full screen game an "AutoHDR" badge pops up and the brightness limit is lifted. A similar thing happens when I launch a streaming app in the TV. I don't consume content through Linux because as far as I can tell linux doesn't support HDR yet.

Speaking of booting into Windows, I finally figured out how to make it painless: use a separate hard drive, not a separate partition. I wish I could go back in time 20 years and tell myself that. The number of hours I wasted debugging poorly written installers, bootloaders, and updaters exceeds the cost of hard drives by a factor too terrifying to calculate. Ah well. Now I know.
If you really want to blow your mind you can go all the way back to stage0[0].

A more practical depth would be to bootstrap with GNU Mes, which is a source based bootstrapping path, that begins with a tiny scheme interpreter (~5000 LOC of simple C) and a C compiler written in scheme that are mutually self-hosting.

These tools can compile a slightly patched version of TinyCC that is self-hosting. Using this C compiler you can bootstrap a bunch of gnutools (glibc, binutils, gcc) and using these tools you can bootstrap a full Guix Linux distro.

It's evidence for an opposite social trend, not evidence of the total absence of aggressive socialization either presently or historically.

This. It seems that to some degree our knowledge rests on prior experience and passed down knowledge. As we build abstraction layers on top of technology the bare metal understanding is lost.

I’m going to contradict my original question to some degree by stating that I know that air travel is safer than ever.

My question is more just wondering out loud if there is a point where we rely on “solved” problems so much that we start to lose comprehension of the factors that are involved. It feels like the MCAS was an example.

Agree that you can never “know” how an airframe will age until you build it and doesn’t seem like this is as critical as MCAS issue but it could be that we have to wait 15 years to find out.
