Have you considered that I had exit interviews and gathered actual feedback before generalizing?

Don't answer, it's obvious that you haven't.

It's also obvious that you didn't notice that my previous comment did contain self-reflection. I always seek the blame in myself first. That doesn't mean that blame is always in me however. Bad luck or poorly communicated expectations happen to all of us.
There are options to reduce your carbon footprint but from my experience they've been captured by sleazy companies with deceptive practices.

I get a letter regularly telling me to switch my energy to green by signing up for this service where I'll pay more. But if you read the fine print you're not actually switching to green energy. You're paying more for the same energy and they're taking the money and doing something with it that is maybe green? Giving it to green companies? I don't know but it's not what I immediately thought when I saw the main claim.

Same is true with solar panels where they finance it through a senior lien on your property while all the calculations of savings are based on current subsidy levels. And they're budening people with senior debt that can prevent them from selling their home in the future without paying off the senior claim or passing it on.

You even see it with EV cars where the listed price includes cost savings from gas. It's just dishonest. You don't see that math on fuel efficient cars.

Last time I was in SE Asia it wasn't uncommon to see people carrying multiple SIM cards. They were sold cheap and providers were constantly undercutting each other on mobile data. This was almost a decade ago now, but given how Asian variants of phones still have dual SIM slots I'm guessing it's still common.

> It's the revolution that GSM brought: just take your SIM and move it to a different phone. No permission required.

This is not really true:

1. SIM-lock is a thing, where providers prevent you from using the phone with another SIM (because they sold you the phone below cost and you're paying it back through your subscription cost)

2. IMEI lock is a thing too, unfortunately. The situation might be different now but in 2011/2012 it was near impossible to use a local SIM in your phone in Japan because phone providers wanted to sell you a phone with a SIM so you can't use your desired phone.

The BBC article provides more context: apparently children were playing an activity where they were doing physical challenges.

I agree that the purpose of copyright is not moral rights, even in theory. But I disagree that the theoretical purpose is profit (i.e. economic benefit to the creator).

The idea (again, this is just in theory) is economic benefit to society overall. The idea is that if there's no copyright then creators would have no economic incentive to create anything, so they wouldn't bother. Profit to copyright owners is just a mechanism to incentivise them to create benefit to society.

Actually, that's the theoretical reason for all profit, not just for copyright.

A consequence of this is that there shouldn't be any increase to copyright term that only increases profits but doesn't increase benefit to society. But obviously political lobbyists don't follow that theory.

The reply link doesn't show immediately on some comments. But you can reply to a previous reply. I would imagine it's to give commenters space to not be as reactive.

I'm just curious as to how he hasn't already hit the "you're posting too fast" limit.

Regardless, I don't think any of these mechanisms have the effect desired. Because the site has still become what it has become. More and more I'm becoming convinced that there are scales at which we are just incapable of dealing with things.
This comment hits the nail on the part just between eyes.

There is an effort we can put in teaching our kids c++ and even better if we can start them on leetcode at an early age

This will help them improve their problem solving ability and they will also get frustrated when they are not able to solve a hard graph problem.

But the hardest problem never is the problem itself, but the inability to keep on going when the problem seems very hard.

When kids learn how to handle that and when all the kids in the world know how to handle that, then surely we are looking at a future generation that will help solve all the hard problems that we are not able to solve like World Proverty, income inequality and global warming.
Maybe, but the other side also needs to be cleaned. And the car side TX won't be anywhere near as bright as a street lamp (and probably IR) and will be more vulnerable.

As you point out, all of this is likely surmountable, but... why bother if the status quo is serving the use case?
Honestly, after running into the phone number requirement it's gonna be hard to get back my trust.

You required the phone number after you got all my account details. You wouldn't let me remove my account without first giving you my phone number. When I contacted your support to get you to delete my data, a simple back and forth like "you're gonna lose all your data!" and "I don't have any data" made them completely fail the Turing test. It's clear they don't really read what I was writing, they're just responding to whatever the first thought is that comes to their head.

I don't know if they're overworked, underpaid, or have quotas. Either way, none of the experience of trying to join an OSS development channel on Discord are in any way conductive towards trust. I mean, I couldn't even copy and paste the phone number requirement error message.
Those SIM engineers should build other unhackable systems too!

Anyway, it's not only social engineering but even if it was it simply means that it's useless for security.

Just yesterday, a friend of mine got a fringe hacking incident or a bug. We are not still sure if it was hack but somehow the SIM card in her phone identified as another number from another carrier. Who knows what happened, her SIM wasn't swapped it simply think that it's another number as she found out when started receiving notifications about her new number. Maybe it was Apple's bug or something but who cares, the physical SIM did not change anything.

My memory of the whole "nGL" language thing was that it was more a marketing term than anything you would find in an academic paper. It was particularly common in the IBM world, for example in books[1] and advertisements[2]

[2] I can't find a good example, but I remember seeing ads for "4GL" tools in Dr Dobbs regularly in the mid-90s.

Tell HN: The next step in human evolution (poem)
Human-Computer interaction is necessarily subjective simulation, cognitive oversimplification, and perceptually premature optimization. Do more, with less. Delegate control responsibly to autonomous systems; They have capability but lack reason. Humans are error-correcting. Future utopia entails watching robots work, and pressing button when they make mistakes and act funny. Also human-human relations coordinations to ultimately solve problems which haven't had solutions engineered for yet, most often for unknown unknowns, less frequently manufacturing fault, and certainly never again operator error. Systems directing themselves, able to start entirely new industrial processes. Human supervision mandatory. Society doesn't autopilot, individuals do. The next step in human evolution - You.
It was cheaper to stop emitting ten, twenty, thirty years ago, but capitalism can't see very far ahead. People are making too much money still, and societies are too slow to change without immediate incentives. Whether it's cheaper or not is irrelevant if we are incapable of action, so, we'll have to pull it out of the air anyway.

‘I do surfing’: an AI-generated Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook’s bad year
> Why do people buy and use these things?

For me it’s basically laziness. I like being able to control my heating / lighting without having to reach for my phone while I’m still in bed. Before having my thermostat on the LAN I would have to guess before going to bed what temperature I would like the house to be at and at what time. Now I switch it on/off from the comfort of my blanket and have the house nice and warm before getting out of bed when I wake.

I also like having the ability to switch lights on and off while having my hands full, request music, news, information, create timers, amend my shopping list, without having to reach for my phone (which for me is even more convenient when my hands are in no state to be touching my phone/switches/whatever, cooking or doing the washing up for example).

Now for me personally my Echos are mainly just fancy voice remotes for my Home Assistant setup with most of the devices it controls local only devices (I have a couple of plugs I’ve yet to crack open to flash tasmota onto them), because their isn’t anything really competes with them for what they do in the open source hardware “market”. So for the moment I use Echos with the privacy settings all maxed out. While not directly smart speaker related I always hated outdoor PIRs because of their false positive triggers. So using Home Assistant, the camera covering the front of my house, Doods and a bit of JavaScript I now track when a person is moving outside my home at night to turn the outdoor lighting on without it being triggered by the neighbourhood wildlife.

For my elderly parents, they use them because their mobility isn’t as great as it used to be. My step dad has to use walking sticks to great around, having the ability to control the lights with just his voice removes the need to stop using this sticks to toggle the lights has he enters/exits a room. My mother has more mobility and has no issues with wall mounted switches when entering / exiting a room she can find the small switches on lamps more of a chore. She also like using lamps over the main ceiling light as it feels more “cozy”. So it saves her having to walk around the room turning on/off multiple lamps (although that could be done with wiring the sockets to a wall switch, but doing that without the need to repair decorations is a pain, much easier to use pass thru relay sockets for things like lamps).

They also like the lack of buttons and screens on them. When she wants to listen to the radio/music she can just ask for the station instead of “faffing” with the controls on the radio to find the station/music she wants to listen too.

While I understand there are privacy concerns with smart speakers of any brand (and I will not dismiss those concerns of those who have them), I feel with good data protection laws to help deal with those issues smart speakers have a place for those who find it easier to interact with their world via their voice over their hands.
I'm less shocked by Alexa suggesting this than by the poor socket design in some parts of the world allowing to short-circuit the plugs while they are inserted.

This is as proper design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko
The laws of thermodynamics doesn't take into account the assumption that future energy production is cheaper then today's.

If there is a change in energy production like a breakthrough in fusion or an over production of renewables, it is at least theoretically possible that would be cheaper to remove then to not emit
The title is completely wrong: it should be "Books with high Goodreads score."

Also, arguably, all books (or at least should be) are mind-expanding as they provide you with new information. As for the quantitative aspect, it is a very individual thing: what is a huge trove of new information for me might be old news for you. With time, what was once new becomes more or less common knowledge.

Personally, I find the books on the limits of science to fall in this category - especially our grasp of micro- and macrocosm, but also biology and neuroscience. Chemistry is extremely interesting but my feeling is that there aren't that many breakthrough developments these days; nevertheless, it's fascinating to observe, say, the influence of various alkaloids on living organisms - there is so much to discover here. I love books by specialists in the field, preparing a meta-analysis of various phenomena, and then proposing a novel explanation for them.

> I clearly said if you're an idealist you will find the world shitty place.

No you didn't. You edited it after the fact. My quote was as-is, with the period.

Whether or not you have that view, the OP clearly does, because he/she can't seem to find value in anything and has to ask people. So the advice would be (in your modified post): "don't be an idealist." If your "ideals" cause you to be so oblivious to potential good things in the world, you're a misanthrope and I look down on your morals.
I sometimes didn't use the LastPass extension, and simply logged in by going to lastpass.com and filling out the login form there. That form could have been compromised by an extension.
In all fairness, this is Congstar being shit, a low-cost MVNO. They could also be shit by locking your SIM to the first IMEI they see on their network, so the only difference is that they need to establish a porting process for eSIM but haven't done so.

No, the tasks are very realistic. I think the idea is to consider if your junior developers are prepared for the tasks (or if you as a junior developer, are).
Let me preface by saying I'm speculating of course.

> Did the malware wait for me to open my keepass vault and snoop the password then?

It's not impossible at least. There's been vulnerabilities in Keepass RPC which allowed any javascripts on Internet reading your passwords [1]. If a simple javascript can read secrets from keepass, I would not be at all surprised if that has happened.

> the less probable it is that we were all hit with the same malware.

Sure. But there's also some selection bias here, were a lot of people visiting hackernews is affected. On twitter, everyone (more or less) who's discussing this issue links this post, which at least in theory could indicate that the scope of the issue is relatively narrow (compared to the entire internet). It could be that some specific developer tools or libraries have been affected for example (as any of the recent packages on NPM which people claim may have sniffed credentials).

For an open source young project, your UI is pretty good. In fact that is what got me here to comment!

Any mobile client sdk? Android/iOS you are aware of?
we don't have to die if we acknowledge that we are just information and that information once thought lost can be recovered much later due to more powerful technology. The problem is the information in the brain must be preserved until such more powerful technology comes on the scene. Hence, cryonics and chemopreservation of brains.

Furthermore, one can argue that the holy bible shows that early christians understood these principles (see here: https://betterresurrectionchurch.wordpress.com/ )
Fully agree on both points. 1) For anyone getting started, I think the easiest point of entry is still Descartes' Meditations. Incredibly cogent, accessible and shows in practice a way of thinking. I disagree with the last two bit that's exactly what you should do: follow a train of thought until you find better arguments.

2) formal logic seems incredibly boring, a kind of further abstraction of maths, and when I was studying it was everyone's least favorite subject. But of all things I've studied this has given me some of the most practical thinking tools that I use every day. Its like learning cheat codes for the world of reasoning.
It's most profitable to get people on a weekly/monthly plan and every industry is trying to do this. In the future you will rent everything (phone included), and own nothing.

In EU, an eSIM gives you the same "rights" as a physical SIM.

The biggest difference is that a physical SIM gives you a slightly higher level of security, at least in theory (then, phone carriers do a lot to screw this up anyway).
I tried to activate an iPhone on an existing Google Fi plan using eSIM, and it was a nightmare. The frontline support is responsive, but can't do anything about it. The specialists I was escalated to were useless, and only reachable by email every day or two.

After a week of this nonsense, it occurred to me that maybe I could start over with a physical SIM card. I chatted with frontline support again, and he said he was positive that would work. (So why didn't anyone suggest that?!) I couldn't use the old card, because it was clearly beyond their capabilities to reactivate a perfectly good SIM card, but I was able to buy a new one at Best Buy and complete the process in about five minutes.

I would have swapped the card in the first place and been blissfully ignorant of the eSIM fiasco, but I somehow had it in my head that the iPhone used a smaller card than the five-year old phone it was replacing. It may not be eSIM's fault, per se, but if the design is dependent on carrier competence, it's fatally flawed, as far as I'm concerned.

What a jump @ 2020. What happened?
the art market has nothing to do with taste. Albrecht Dürer was an important 15th/16th century artist, and everything of his that we know exists is part of a permanent collection private or public by now. That makes the appearance of an unknown work a rare event and it makes this a rare and valuable thing.
Why "was" ?
The main difference seems to be that when we have history and art exhibitions dedicated towards the unrealised visions of white people or successful comic book films featuring [mostly] white characters or reconstructions of Anglo Saxon earthworks which were pretty unimpressive compared with neighbouring and preceding civilisations, nobody claims that its a "subversive" effort...

I'm about as far away from Drew as possible when it comes to my views about the benefits of open source yet I also loathe Discord as a method of supporting users because its essentially a memory hole. I want to be able to ask or answer a question once and then for it to be easily findable by a future user searching on the public web. That's just not possible with Discord, especially if a server shuts down.

A lot of the discussion around a large open source project I develop add-ons for has migrated onto Discord and it makes it an utter nightmare to work out what is happening, why certain design decisions were made, or get an answer about a technical question without directly contacting someone. If that discussion instead took place on their public forums (which is where it was previously) then I wouldn't have to bug someone 90% of the time.

Thanks for the info! This all seems good but it basically seems like what you'd expect from gig-work code reviewing. I'm mainly concerned about the pay and how it relates to experience, haven't been able to see any comments here showing what people actually made for N hours or work. That's always the catch with the gig-work type of jobs.

I did tutoring online a while ago which claimed a lot of the same benefits, but in actuality it was hard to get a good amount of work on the site to make it worth it. You'd have to be online for hours checking the tab and then hope a 30 min session will pop up. I'm guessing there won't be that same issue here but don't want to go through the process without a general ballpark of expected income, and people being evasive in this post is kinda concerning
