It depends on how it makes the money.

For instance, I'm perfectly fine with a website earning a commission on the products it reviews. I go out of my way to make sure the website that convinced me gets their commission.

However, a lot of the content is now written specifically for the commission, with zero effort spent on the content itself. That's how you get "best products of 2022" lists on January 1 2022, which contain zero useful research about the products. They add no value.

This is not good: https://www.thespruceeats.com/best-camping-cookware-5184274

I also see more and more websites that just rephrase other websites' content, and replace the affiliate links with their own. In the end, you get a dozens of websites feeding off the same 2-3 original articles.

How senior is your role ? It's not uncommon when you part of leadership (however that maybe defined) to be consulted on decisions that will impact them down the line, almost immediately.

Big companies will NEVER do this -> too much risk for them from a HR / bad reputation standpoint.

I've had a startup have me do this, it was sold well to me as "hey, join in and make decisions for your Product that you'll be running" It turned into a burn out situation for me trying to manage current job and hop in on future company calls. And I just refused after a certain point.

However, it's not uncommon. Not a red flag is probably where I would leave it. Keep an eye out though on how they manage you and your time after you join them.
Well it obviously didn't hold up.

IMO Apple had a copyright, maybe, it shouldn't have been patentable though. Design != technology so shouldn't be patentable.
Yes, but it's SQL. Some people want a "document database" that looks more like JSON. (Yes, I know you can store JSON in SQLite.)
It's definitely a great example of an engineering/science project run by grownups. Compared to what I see in the daily cloud software engineering world...
> And in a non-commercial setting his changes aren't even close to being deemed harmful

So you don't even know what happened?

There's an infinite loop after it finishes printing garbage. It's an unquestionably harmful change.

Also, you know how you prevent non-commercial use?

https://github.com/Marak/colors.js/blob/master/LICENSE

I don't get it, Marak is clearly having some sort of episode*, and people are bending over backwards to rationalize the result as if there's some clear connection between his intent and his actions.

How many people realize he made those anti-commercial comments two years ago. Right now it actually seems like his comments were more political than financial.

* I don't mean that in a backhanded way, based on his history and his recent comments I think this is someone who needs help regardless of his actions on NPM*
`acc.concat()` also creates a new array instance, so I don't get your point.
All the companies I ever worked for used Gunicorn to serve Python apps. You can put Nginx/Traefik/whatever in front of it for load balancing but you don't have to.
Unsure why I haven't hear anyone recommend those before, but that sounds like a good idea to get if one get infected. They are a bit expensive however so I am unsure if I personally want to pay that without a positive covid test.

I hope there's no patents for EQ settings. It took Sonos 3 years to finally add EQ to the play screen in the app. I'd hate for that to disappear because someone had the idea for: "group of sliders that cut a specific range of frequencies to improve sound quality".

I imagine this sort of experience is something most of us would not forget and that we'd be in awe the entire time.
It doesn’t matter if Google ruined android messaging. The point is, tons of people use android and google is trying to make it better. The title of this article suggests an orientation towards google of contempt, as opposed to showing that google is trying to do right by its former mistakes. And does not point out that apple has not been nice in the past either.

The article promotes a zero sum mentality. That only apple should win because iMessage is better and because google already messed up.

As opposed to a value oriented mentality that a new standard, RCS, could be better for android and iOS users alike.

Google hasn’t always been a great company. I don’t understand why we can’t celebrate wins, especially those that would benefit others, such as rcs.

To do otherwise is to indefinitely call some parties good and some parties bad, to engage in black and white thinking. Which is more harmful for ourselves and says more about ourselves than the individuals and corporations of the world.
Sonos does part of this: when you set up the speaker it sends out pings that are picked up by your phone which you have to wave around like you're doing a cleansing ceremony. To my knowledge it doesn't do this dynamically.
Larry Page wanted to buy WhatsApp so Google can compete in IM app business but WhatsApp sold to Facebook. I think Google had Gmail chat called Gchat, that thing could've been successful idk how it failed tbh.
To an extent. Things like "pry" in Ruby will let you edit methods and reload and resume and generally somewhat pretend you're working on an image. It's not as flexible as a typical Smalltalk environment, but with the new Ruby debugger in Ruby 3.1 I suspect we'll see another big leap towards that.
Conversely, I’d rather buy (and intend to) from Sonos versus Google considering Google’s product track record (killing everything in short order).

Using patents to defend yourself from a Big Tech company is the unfortunate reality.
Austria comes to mind - they built the fully functional nuclear power plant, and never had it started - because the public referendum was narrowly (50.47%) against it. Billions of dollars down the drain, hundreds of careers derailed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plan...
The long term vision is for those gas plants to be hydrogen-powered, with the hydrogen generated by the surplus of wind and solar during peak times. Pumped hydro for power storage is also something that will become viable. You lose a lot in conversion, but excess wind power is very cheap.
Yeah, just don't save the image. Whenever you restart the program use a fresh image. This is pretty much indistinguishable from a "normal" program's state when it is running.
From my perspective, it's also remarkable that WhatsApp managed to enable e2e while already being owned by facebook. It probably won't last, but to me that demonstrates a commitment to security and privacy on the part of the WhatsApp team.
Impressive, I guess?
Silica is not an issue. Intel executives getting kidnapped(err arrested for illegal blah blah), local managers disappearing, sudden "corruption" investigations etc.

There are 2 choices, clear out everything and everyone associated with Intel out of PRC or comply.
As opposed to working for the insurance industry? My knee jerk response is that incentivizing the best and brightest has gotten us to where we're at now. I've read that doctors are deluged in paperwork and bureaucracy, and incentivized to choose treatment options based on insurance coverage. I've had more than one doctor say to me: "The insurance says I can do X but not Y," and "your treatment ends when your coverage runs out." Of the several doctors among my friends, those who are not also professors or entrepreneurs have opted for part-time status, or have retired early.

Incentivizing the best and brightest in the software industry has gotten us to where we have to give new computer science graduates a coding exam, to find out if they can program.
Our CI system broke as a result - I really like this "brownout" idea to help us find it before it turns off for good, but a 24-hour period for us to be broken or scramble to fix is kind of a PITA.
I imagine it would be much more technical effort, but a way for us to opt certain repos out of a brownout would be really nice, so that once it happens, we could easily disable the brownout for our repo & schedule working on a fix, while letting us continue working with the existing infra.
If slavery, segregation, religious prosecution, mass killings and forced sterilizations took place in the West at some point, does it make those things OK for the remainder of humanity’s history?

No one was perfect at all times from day 1, but we should try to hold our partners, and by implication ourselves, to higher standards now that we have agreed to put the aforementioned actions at the extreme left side of the bad-to-good scale.
Note that Chromium hasn't been based on WebKit for almost a decade. Google forked WebKit and created Blink as their rendering engine in 2013. The two have diverged quite a bit. Safari is the only major browser still based on WebKit explicitly. Chrome, Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet, etc., are all based on Chromium and thus have Blink as their rendering engine.
Most of the time you want to grandfather your original customers in so they keep the same price. Once strategy I did was I broke my product "Original" into two parts "Primary" and "Add-on" with their own prices.

My customers got the old pricing on the new "Primary" service, so they were happy. But did not get the new "Add-on" which included lots of new features and updates to a slice of the "Original" product that they loved. They could continue using "Original" but it was no longer maintained and generally poorer quality. So many people added the "Add-on" to their subscription too. My revenue doubled.
From PaulAJ's comment:

> Just to point out that Stross's blog is running off an elderly PC in his office, so no surprise that when it makes the front page on HN (twice in two days now) it gets slashdotted.
Sorry, I didn't apply the labels. This is taken from the book. The book also claims that everyone values fairness and harm avoidance. The difference is that conservatives have additional things they value.

I don't think this model reflects my personal values in their entirety either, but that's not the point. The point is that there are inherent differences in what different people value and that always will be a source of conflict.
> If the removed nuclear was replaced by coal, coal % of the produced electricity would go up.

False. Coal went from 45% to 25%. The remaining 25% are needed to cover closing nuclear. This is what people mean when they say about coal replacing nuclear. We could remove coal completely (or significantly more) if not stopping nuclear. Total coal percentage doesn't matter.

Compare two possibilities:

1. Coal 45% to 25%, nuclear 10% to 0%.

2. Coal 45% to 0%, nuclear 10% to 55%.

In both cases coal usage is decreasing, but in the first case, nuclear is (partially) replaced with coal. In the second case, coal is replaced with nuclear.
> It seems like the vaccines would have to be negatively effective against omicron for all the other data to work out, though.

If you search hard enough (and quickly enough, they’ll likely be removed soon as they’re anti-narrative) you’ll find articles of people discussing exactly this. That the vaccine actually increases your chance of infection.
Unfortunately this is not a permalink, but only a hashtag that will work well today, ofcourse. Let's hope it will in 2 years.
The WebSocket Handbook
What you're describing is WhatsApp. So we don't need to speculate.

iMessage benefited tremendously from being the default. Combine that with Apple's mobile market share in the US and you get the present situation.

My gripe isn't really that it won in the US. Its that you need Apple hardware to participate.

Google may be self interested but they're right about one thing: knowingly allowing and fueling this social dynamic is inconsistent with Apple's brand. But it was never really about values, just making consumers feel good about their purchases.

That doesn't seem to be the case here, the product images clearly show the required labeling and it's even pointed out specifically in the video review [0] at 3m30s.

Would be good to see what the update notes say for this one. It might be because the product listing still claims it's approved from emergency use; the FDA rescinded the EUA for all non-N95 masks back in July [1].

>The classic example is CAGW. If I know a person's position on that, I find I can predict their position on most any other contentious issue.

In case anyone was curious, it seems to stand for "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming" [0] (or Citizens Against Government Waste, which seems an equally stark signifier of the invoker's political position -- who better to exemplify "waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government" than, uh, Bernie Sanders?!).

"CAGW", for "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming", is a snarl word (or snarl acronym) that global warming denialists use for the established science of climate change. A Google Scholar search indicates that the term is never used in the scientific literature on climate[104][105] except in reference to denialist tactics.[106]

It's weird because Firefox is has a lot of fairly basic UX problems, such as imposing mobile conventions on a native desktop application instead of following native conventions.

Besides the missing top menu bar already mentioned, desktop applications don't have hamburger buttons and material design-aesthetics, looks really out of place. If you open a sub-menu in that menu, the entire menu is replaced with the submenu, that's also not how desktop menus work.
I think that's potentially the difference between social sign on and enterprise SSO.

Login with Google etc. achieves most of those advantages, while still leaving SSO against an organisation's SAML provider etc for enterprise.
Rhasspy is amazing! It supports everything I want: central processing with several satellites, multi-language requests (while I want to keep everything English, I also want to request bands not in English), pre-defined commands, fine-tuning.

For the microphone, I want to go with the ReSpeaker mic array in a case [0] for when I need multi-directional far-field recognition (living room, bed room), and probably the often recommended PS2 microphone otherwise (office, kitchen). Speakers will be normal PC stereo speakers in the kitchen, cheapest output I can find for all others (only the kitchen needs to play music while I cook).

rPi 4 will run full Rhasspy (I currently have it on my home assistant pi, I’ll need to see about performance), my old pi3 is running it as a satellite for testing, I want all satellites to be on pi Zero 2 eventually (online discussions say the Zero 1 is too weak for speedy wakeword recognition)

But I still need to do more evaluation and setup before I’m done, currently the satellite can do nothing but turn the office light on and off :D

[0]: https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-USB-Mic-Array-p-4247.h...

edit: Just wanted to add that the reason I’m going with a Pi is not some specific love for it, but that it’s the platform I’ll have the easiest time finding support for online ;) It matters less for the processor, so if the Mini-ITX SoC’s I want become available again, and I can build my own NAS, then maybe Rhasspy will just run on that.

> The USD is a reserve currency which has many profound effects associated with that it is not a "bubble" asset class at this point.

That is the definition of a bubble. If people buy Tesla because they think others want to buy Tesla stocks rather than thinking the company will do well, then Tesla stocks are in a bubble. The same thing applies to USD. It being a reserve currency means it can keep its value without having assets backing up that value, that is how we define a bubble. Of course bubbles can last a long while, which is probably what you mean, but it is still a bubble and it will pop at some point.

Another reserve currency right now are bitcoins. Bitcoins being used as a reserve currency means people buy it to keep the value high, so that their savings doesn't go to waste. I'd still argue that bitcoins are a bubble, like the USD.
Cookies and localStorage are scoped by string and we've just learned to deal with it. Namespaces are hard and strings are probably one of the best of the bad solutions that don't massively increase complexity.

There's a lot of popular examples of more or less abandoning the old ways, but the old ways still work.

I'm of the strong opinion that modern PHP with frameworks and auto-include and a ton of modelling is the wrong way to do it, but everyone else can do it that way, and I can still do things the old way and I can be happy.

PHP has this amazingly zen model of computing. At the end of the request, everything is thrown away to start fresh. This means anything you don't output is garbage. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to make sculptural models of your data and page structure only to throw them away. It's best to keep things simple.

There's some times and places where it makes sense to use more features, but starting with a kitchen sink framework makes it very hard to get simple where it's needed, but you can always pull in a little bit of something more complex into a simple thing.
We still don’t know the long term effects of the vaccine. So this numbers game is equivalent to Russian roulette.

I don't know why people keep expressing surprise at things like this.

Contrary to what the U.S. Supreme Court would have you believe, corporations are not people and do not have morals or values. They are organizations that seek to maximize profit and grow.

Any values a corporation projects are merely reflections of whatever the dominant moral force is in a given time and place.

American corporations in the U.S. in 2022 project values of wokeness because the woke left is presently the dominant cultural force in the U.S. In 1950's America, the dominant cultural force was cultural conservatism and patriotism so naturally corporations projected conservative and patriotic values. So it shouldn't surprise anyone that a large corporation operating in China in 2022 will reflect the values of the CCP.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but expecting a corporation to have meaningful morals in the same way a human does is like expecting your dog to do the dishes. Based on what they are, they're simply not capable of the task.

What somewhat more interesting is the marketplaces surrounding some of these. There's a marketplace of nova add-ons, some free, some paid.

Some of these are definitely given more love than others, of course. I'd probably pay for some extended 'dusk' package to provide a better experience overall, but... unsure there's enough of a market to justify that?

Yes — I just find it an interesting challenge for even an experienced technical user to localize the cause of a problem like this. Visibility is important and I really like the way rapid releases have helped the web but it also sets you up to be the initial suspect.
That timeline lists very few "religious wars" before Christ, and I think none of them were fought for religious conversion. Mostly just for territory.
