Or, removing the cynicism and conspiratorial elements from your analysis:

Millions of people raised on labor/union/socialist/far-left dogma that was relevant in the 1800s and 1900s are realizing that the modern economy is in fact quite different. But because of a mixture of lack of knowledge and adversarial beliefs about capitalism and corporations, they failed to thrive in the system and are now learning the tools to succeed.

The system is flawed. You can work to fix the flaws without thinking you need to burn the whole thing down.
> "The fact that creating a worker requires you to pass a module (file) name makes them extremely unergonomic to use."

Can anybody explain how did this ever make it into the official spec and the default implementation?

The browser will make a network call to fetch your Web Worker .js file on every instantiation of your Web Worker. Instantiations of the same Web Worker "module" aren't cached, so in a thread-pool scenario your browser would be fetching the same file over and over again.

What were the people designing this even thinking? This is so wasteful and frustrating. The API simply sucks.
I think Telegram is more dangerous than WhatsApp or even WeChat
This article is highly subjective, so please read with caution.

A hidden danger is more dangerous than an open fire, and thinking you are safe is the least safe.

12/4/2021 Telegram officially discontinued the old version of Client and required all third-party Clients to receive ads (which was actually tolerable).

9/19/2021 Telegram opened up groups with read records accurate to members (smaller groups)

etc.

These are signs that Telegram is opening up more resources to advertisers. Even though Pavel Durov says we don't provide data to advertisers, it doesn't mean that advertisers won't collect it themselves?

Telegram was scathing about Ghost Mode. It reported it to the point that the app was taken down from the Play Store, and even threatened developers with the deactivation of API_ID.

These are all signs that Telegram is not actively providing information, but constantly ensuring that it can be captured in large quantities by advertisers in an easier way.

What's the point of having reads like this when Telegram collects more and more bots and even users don't even know who is there to collect them? It's not even listed in the read history if it's captured in a small group. In that case, what is the use of this feature? How is it different from Anom, except that it is convenient for advertisers and stalkers?

Telegram's online time privacy is even more funny, when speaking will become Online mode, this point is captured by the bot will not be able to get the user online time information?

Pavel Durov: No!

WhatsApp at least shows where the information is going, WeChat at least knows it's a Chinese product and is therefore wary of it.

Telegram is doing something completely unprivate under the banner of privacy.

WhatsApp and WeChat get the user's device identification number, and Telegram does it too, and I don't blame it for that, it can say it's for user safety.

WhatsApp and WeChat have asked for address book, Telegram also did, I do not blame it, it can say that the cell phone number is not for social?

WhatsApp and WeChat have the ability to find friends by address, and Telegram does too, and I don't blame it for that, it can say it's convenient to find new friends.

To sum up: WhatsApp=WeChat=Telegram

But.

Telegram's main focus is privacy chat. Online time privacy set to No User, it does show to all people as Last seen recently, but once spoken again will become Online, for BOTs, got online information, however 1 BOT set to Everyone, but can see all users set to Everyone's online information.

Some groups can get read records, if the bot listens to enough (Telegram has many index bots, half of which are commercially run), is not the same as being able to post portraits of all members?

Telegram's security, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the list.

The most potent competitor to Starbucks (Luckin' Coffee) took a huge hit due to accounting scandals just recently. More generally Starbucks in China is considered a luxury brand (not what it is in the US).

Anything manufacturing related I can see being shifted overseas. US labor is too costly compared to international labor. I think Deere and co already see the writing on the wall and are moving to diversify with autonomous capabilities. Software is not so easy to copy or we would've seen an iOS clone out of China that actually works as well as iOS.

This is completely meaningless. Home appraisals are not objective measurements of the value of a home. They exist for the benefit of mortgage companies to ensure that the buyer has collateral to cover the difference between the sale price and the actual likely sale price of the home. Appraisals are are always made relative to a specific buyer’s offer and will never ever ever appraise at higher than what the specific buyer needs to get financing.

Do you not think it's possible some people genuinely don't want children to be assaulted, and perhaps (in some cases) care more about that then they do about the sanctity of mathematics or whatever? Perhaps I'm naive but it seems likely to me that there would be a lot more people like that than people who are cynically utilizing the CSAM argument to pursue a deep-seated loathing of mathematics.
> Look, if you're too afraid to think about EVs

Ah yes. "Son", "deal with it", "afraid to think about EVs", a couple of Youtube vidoes. The grand arguments of a person who pretends they have any arguments.

No one is "afraid to think about EVs". Those who actually think about EVs see what they are, and all the problems they have right now. Good luck to early adopters, come back when you have more arguments than those listed above.
No, that's not why they closed down. They closed down because there were not enough staff to safely run them.

> Why don't we use what the metal uses, instead of these "expressive abstractions"?

Because the "expressive abstractions" are much easier to reason about and save programmers lots of mental effort. And, as I have commented upthread, ifs and for loops are by no means the only such abstractions.

> because the latter is unfamiliar, it's spoken about in the same manner you present: as if it is some highly abstract, complicating, high-level feature

If expressing your program in the lambda calculus is easy for you to reason about and saves you enough mental effort, go for it. But don't expect your code to be readable or understandable by many other people. The reason why ifs and for loops (and other "expressive abstractions", since as I have said, those are by no means the only ones) are ubiquitous in programs is that they are easy for lots of programmers to reason about. Whereas the lambda calculus is only easy for a very small subset of programmers to reason about.
You will never have information about it, even with account manager provided NDAs with cloud providers. And it's a surprise, like Kinesis took a lot of services with it, I would not imagine it. And Facebook disappeared from internet with BGP misconfiguration. My personal experience is that most AWS outages effect one service, one region, but in GCP there is more global outages. But AWS has fair share of some global outages themselves like Kinesis and S3 back then.
Sometimes they can depending on automated appraisals based on comparable sales history (which is public record). Depends on the underwriting guideline of the loan product (which is being packaged into a mortgage backed security). It’s common with conventional loan refinances when there’s already substantial equity in the property, but FHA loans mandate a human performed appraisal to protect the buyer (FHA appraisals are more stringent than conventional appraisals as well) as well as the US government (who is insuring the loan).

Forced to settle for a nonideal job? Here’s how to make the most of it
But you yourself admit that you have an unusual setup with a few very strong programmers. Few are like this even in Silicon Valley. As for other industries, they're not even close. So your company's setup won't transfer well to the rest of the world.
In a very real way, it's all conditional jumps in assembly, and every thing you've learned to make programming easier by allowing more directly letting you express your high level intent is just sugar. It might even help some or most of the time. But what you're actually doing is creating a bunch of branches and loops, and as much as the high level stuff might help, you really shouldn't forget this is the medium you actually work in.

Most professions have a healthy respect for the base materials they work with no matter how high the abstractions and structures they build with it go. Artists know their paints, stone, metal, etc. Engineers know their melaterials as well. They build by taking the advantages of each material into consideration, not assuming that it's no longer relevant to their job because they get to just work in I-beams. Programmers would do well to adopt a healthy respect for their base materials, and it seems like often we don't.
> Aging is not recognized as a disease by the FDA, so aging treatments are not allowed to have the same treatment and development pipeline

This is valid but immaterial
criticism. There are no treatments reaching their clinical endpoints in a rigorous way. The FDA isn’t blocking anything because nothing has made it to its level. That makes complaining about the FDA putting the cart before the horse at best and a red herring for certain personalities at worst.
Thanks for this. I’ve always wanted to know how to replicate how the OS is resolving.
Im sure this must be documented somewhere internally. Whenever a new region is built for AWS, services must be deployed in topologically sorted order. So I'd imagine figuring out dependencies for each service is something that comes up quite often.
It is a problem IMO that Bitcoin has no documented governance process so it's basically "if it prosper, none dare call it treason". As for who the CEOs and whales are, you can Google them.
Collective behavior can work if it’s incentivized.
I once had my house appraised far higher than I thought it was worth. I appealed it by saying I'd sell it to the appraiser for what I thought it was worth, and he could flip it for the appraisal value.

Didn't take me up on it :-/
My point is, you are inside the system, using values from the system, to explain the system.

If humans lived 200 years, but went infertile at 50, you'd be explaining how the system was designed to entice grandparents to care for grandkid's babies, because they were infertile and couldn't have their own, and because it would improve their genetic bloodline's chances.

I still feel much of your reasoning was using what is, to explain why is, because what is.
> Tools are amoral.

That's a red hering argument. (In my opinion.)

Tools are designed for a use case.

Tools are also widely used for some (potentially different) use case.

As such tools are often not amoral at all.

A assault riffle is designed to kill people and potentially many of them (self defense per gun doesn't require killing). As such it's not a amoral tool. Even through you might end up using it in a "good" way, or as "hobby" it's design makes it fundamentally a "weapon for killing, not self defense".

Through this is kinda getting off-topic.

Because whatever moral you want to attach to tools is irrelevant for aboves discussion.

Crypto currencies are a tool for unchecked Kaptialism, which has nothing to do with moral nor does it mean others can't use it for other purposes.
I think I used it in 2005 so it’s definitely olddd.

the person edited their comment. before the edit it did not start with "Cynically". since you flagged my comment, OP's original comment read:

> Would this work to have a black family show up to meet the tax assessor next time they come by?

you write:

> That's a wildly belligerent take on what the parent actually said. They never implied in any regard that it was a personal question, using "I" or the equivalent to indicate an interest in personal benefit.

wow that's a creative take. the person typed the question themselves, but because they didn't say 'my tax assessor' it's all ok? i mean, sure, technically i agree. i guess my reaction came from the amazement that this question was the first thing they thought of after reading this disheartening article. OP's comment was also the very first comment on this thread.
Sorry to hear this friend.
Appraisals are mostly fairy dust and nonsense anyway. The only thing that matters is what someone else is actually willing to pay for it.
The Ethereum Virtual Machine – How does it work?
> Every other problem one could conceive of is solvable.

I think the biggest problem with PWAs is the resource usage. A well written PWA will use a lot more battery, network, CPU, and memory than a well written native app. That's not solvable.

PWAs are a lowest common denominator solution. They are good for developers but bad for users.

Well the issue of Poland is just politics, the old guard doesn't and won't see the EU as superior. And there are numerous cases proving that. Germany had to backtrack during the covid relief fund but they pretty much run the EU so..
It's not really minor to worry about funds being inaccessible for who knows how long when Solana is down.

I'd rather go with Polygon or Arbitrum for now since it's fast, and wait until zkEVM like zkSync is out. Same with StarkNet. The quick and cheap transactions of Solana with Ethereum's decentralization is what I'm looking for, and that'll only be possible with zk rollups.

Ifs and for loops are trash. Real programmers just write massive linear algebra operations that they can throw on a cluster of GPUs to get 50,000x parallelism. ;)
This was immediately what I thought also. My wife was attacked in a parking lot late one night and managed to kick the guy and run to her car and drive off before he could recover. So now we have to run to the car and do a math problem before the car starts?
Your logic is not aligned with my own. I visit a thousand websites a month and never return to most of them that month, if ever. I use the same fifty apps each month.

One thousand notification prompts, one for each site I visit, is unacceptable.

Fifty notification prompts, one for each time I open an app for the first time on my phone, is acceptable.

You’ve only addressed the single-site case, not the at-scale reality that we users face when browsing HN or Google News or any other content aggregator that links out to a near-infinite array of sites.

My browser is for the open web. My phone is for native apps. I’m aware this is upsetting to proponents of PWAs, but it’s not because of technological limitations that I feel this way. It’s because websites target the lowest common denominator, and I don’t have time for that on mobile.

I can barely stand to use HN on mobile, it’s so awful, it doesn’t honor my OS-wide text settings, it has a horrendous text area, it ignores system color palettes, it doesn’t support OS dark mode hints. HN consciously chooses to target browsers only and does not wish to target being an app, and so I have modified my browser to adapt the website to be tolerable to me. But HN does not deserve to exist on my phone as-is outside of my browser.

Very few websites put in the level of effort to deserve to be called an “app”, and my views reflect their disregard for per-platform integration. (Similarly, I loathe apps that are just a website in a shim, and I tolerate them as minimally as necessary for banking and medical purposes, and tolerate none in my everyday use.)
Perhaps it's a simple misunderstanding around terminology. I certainly wouldn't say that Britain at the height of empire was a "settler colony". I would reserve that description for the colonies themselves, i.e. those settlements outside Britain itself! Likewise I wouldn't describe Israel as a "settler colony" simply because it has (perceived) colonies outside its borders. I would only say that if I believe that Israel had no right to exist within any borders. But perhaps that's not what you meant and I just misunderstood you.
Isn't software engineering pretty much ifs and loops too? Massively complicated ifs, and looping pretty much samething over and over again.
Absolutely. If you can go with OSS only, than it's easy as a breeze. Yet if you depend on proprietary stuff like I do (CADs, Wine, etc), than it's a pain. I'm currently trying to switch office to ARM (RPi 4 and Baikal-M) and that is not easy.

I would not be so sure of your last. The SV mold is the outlier but most USA programmers can't see it because they don't work for non-US companies. Everywhere I was all around the EU in my 20 years of career so far, the SV way of doing things has not been the norm.

So it pays off to be wary of filter bubbles. The SV way of doing things assumes a ton of VC money to burn, something that, to this day, is still not a wide trend in the EU (even if it happens here and there).

Plus that company's setup is not unusual in any way per se; the only "unusual" thing is "we don't run to the cloud at the first IT problem". A ton of other companies are like this, I'd bet even in the US.
I think the problem is 1. incentivises the exploiter to dehumanize the exploited. They are interested in the productive use of a person, not the person themselves. As such, exploitation has an inherently and strongly abusive tendency, whether or not that's actually manifested or not.
Endowments don't pay for PhD students. Students are largely paid out of grant funding.
My assumption was that the previous appraisal was under a different owner (e.g. the Austins bought and flipped it), but the text of the article isn't clear.

As for how to prove any one event is racially motivated: sure, it's basically impossible. Which is precisely why this kind of problem persists. Are lawsuits against million dollar home appraisers the best way to address the imbalance? Certainly not. But you go to war with the army you have, as it were.

I don't think videos on politicized topics getting "ratioed" is a very good signal of anything in today's political climate. Many, many users are willing to downvote content featuring people and/or organizations they've been told are their enemies, without engaging with the content at all.

In fact, this sort of thing is IMO one of the best arguments for removing downvote counts.

Beyond that, I frankly don't think people should have trust in "platforms" telling them what to think, so if this change wakes up some of the "sheeple" I can only see that as a good thing. I certainly think that taking away a tool that allows people to trivially express their shallow hatred of a thing can only improve the state of discourse and critical thought in society.
I know Steve. He's been unfairly maligned for a long time. The biography of him is pretty mean. I doubt the author ever even met him.
"This is a non-sensical but very common expression from crypto-bros."

It is sensible.

Properly designed cryptosystems produce ciphertext that is indistinguishable from a random number.

So, at the very end of it all, the possession of random numbers would need to be regulated.

This is unenforceable (of course) and absurd.

The analogy you make to (physical goods) is a poor one. Regardless of how you feel about restrictions on physical items or how difficult they might be to enforce, it is at least plausible that these restrictions could be enforced.

Not so with a prohibition on random numbers.

> "FPGAs are efficient"

Where do you get that idea? FPGAs have extremely poor efficiency compared to purpose-built designs. They are only a option where no existing purpose-built design (whether CPU, DSP, etc.) fits the problem you have well enough to be practical and creating a fully custom purpose-built chip doesn't fit in the budget.

A more realistic version of that approach were mask-programmable gate arrays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_array) but even those aren't efficient enough to overcome the advantage of purpose-built chips.
