At least the same concrete harm as someone spying on their neighbor without getting caught.

I do think the more compelling reason not to connect it is because as a general rule the updates they put out make the user experience worse over time and it's better to have a connected device that's easier/cheaper to replace when the cumulative security/compatability updates cause a slow down (Without getting in to anti user features like devoting more screen space to ads each update).

Some hypothetical concrete harms that are technically possible when the data is being collected:

Targeted advertising outing someones behaviour because they watched a video related to that topic on the tv.

The TV reporting you for piracy for playing a home video of your kids dancing to copyrighted music.

Reported to the government for watching speeches from an oposition party.
You don’t really believe that rich people stormed in and stole all of the good stuff before the poor people got there, do you?

If you’re stealing things off a train, you’re already in a pretty bad place in life, it’s not like the earlier people were any better off than the later people
I think the article is borderline corporate blogspam. I'm still glad to click-through and read because (a.) Abumrad is terrific, (b.) the steps seem to be a solid production process and (c.) the product seems interesting. "Better storytelling" is so much broader than the production process that I don't think the title is descriptive.
> you should decide by passion rather than avoidance.

This feels like great advice. Thank you for taking the time.
Its actually much worse to unleash violence on poor communities and immigrant business owners.
That's an interesting point! I just listened to an interview with the founder of Give Directly on the Rationally Speaking podcast where he explained that they used to look at houses to identify if someone should get the direct cash donations. So again proxy for wealth

"Fun" facts: California was the epicenter of the 20th-century American eugenics movement[0] whose ideas became very famous around 1940, was the place that invented single-family zoning[1] (in Berkeley in 1916) immediately after banning land ownership by non-whites in 1913[2], that once passed a state referendum to explicitly nullify a state-level fair-housing act[3] passed a year prior, that passed the first modern firearms-restriction act on explicitly racial grounds[4], and that pioneered regressive segregation-with-extra-steps property tax laws[5]. It is an extremely racially-segregated place, to this day[6], and always has been despite our leaders' constant pandering to the contrary. There are so many things to love about California, but this isn't one of them and I'd urge you to reconsider what you know about it :/

What's the acceptable threshold for society as far as looting goes? In my eyes, even one business warrants a firm police response. 450 is an admission of losing sovereignty.
Summaries, and my counter-arguments as someone who just replaced XMPP with Matrix, and attempting contributions to Matrix code:

> [1] EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect and a biology analogy taken a bit too far. Extensibility and modularity are important. Extensibility allows adding features, and modularity allows removing features.

The last part sounds reasonable. The first part misses that nature is constantly creating new variations that try to become dominant. The Lindy effect suggests that older things stick around. But in nature, they don't stick around for the sake of age. They stick around because nothing better has out-competed them yet. This analogy seems moot to me.

> [2] IGNORANCE: I think this kind of trend "Protocol ABC doesn't have this XYZ feature, so let me start a protocol from scratch" should be discouraged.

Yes, but this is a very shallow argument. The rest of the world has advanced in terms of protocol infrastructure. We're on HTTP/2, and playing with HTTP/3 [1]. IPv6 might actually happen in my lifetime. Meanwhile, XMPP is one-long-XML-document-over-TCP and requires custom tooling for everything. IM protocols don't existing in a vacuum, and should be re-evaluated based on global knowledge, not just IM protocol history.

> [3] FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT: IM platforms should be able to be deployed as minimal as possible or as
feature as possible. Certain features should be able to be optionally enabled or disabled, based on the needs of the deployer. If an activist collective doesn't want to store any messages on server for privacy purposes, it can be done by dropping the XEP responsible for archiving. Matrix cannot do this.

For sure, modularity helps flexibility. Matrix is modular and uses token strings in most places where extensions could occur. https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#modules

Aside from https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#send-to-... and https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#end-to-e... solving this rather strange concern about archiving... The example that you can't drop archiving is silly in the context of flexible deployment. Why does it matter whether archiving is an extension or just a server setting? Someone had to consider the configurability either way.

However, Matrix is essentially an append-only event store, so in this particular example, yes, you wouldn't be able to disable storing. It's fundamental to Matrix. You can of course prune historical events, but that's not the intent. I feel the bigger question "should an IM protocol be based on distributed state replication?" deserves a better argument than "it's not implemented as an extension." It provides other benefits, like read markers and complete ordering of e.g. ACL changes in rooms.

---

This seems to be many words, but not much insight into the concrete merits of either of XMPP or Matrix.

[1] I'll leave chat protocols on the block chains out of this.
Yes, good point. It's probably wise to stick around for at least a year or two in a company (subject to situation and your judgment, of course).
So I got really scared and deleted all my YouTube videos from the green revolution in Teheran. I reposted them there from inside contacts who had no YouTube access. But now it looks like Google is even more dangerous than the Persian secret services.
Just curious and totally not being critical, what was your thinking about dropping SYN vs responding with RST?

Italy actually has a standard for electronic invoicing, and most companies are required to use it ("Fattura Elettronica"). It works by having a centralized portal to which invoices are submitted.

Of course, being a SERIOUS, CORPORATE standard it needs to be overly complex, based on XML and SOAP and WebServices and whatnot: https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/portale/documents/20143/23...
Why are management engines not delegated to professional/enterprise machines only then? Seems like an awful lot of money to waste putting specialized hardware into every machine you ship if only a fraction of the users will actually ever take advantage of it.

If you really think PSB doesn't provide any security benefit or "improves security in a meaningful way" you should do more security research.
Huh? I like your ideas, but I'm not painting. I'm saying "don't paint". If you think of it like a nice dividing line through the people who think stuff can change and the people who don't, the folks on the line are 'on the fence'. You see? If you can convince a few of them (not large swathes of them, just a few), then the line shifts. If we all do that, we can change a lot of minds for good!

You get what I mean? So yeah, my recommendation is that we all talk like things are easy to make better, instead of saying, "too late its all over" because you'll encourage more people to try which I assume you agree is a good thing but if not, I guess to each their own.
In many states a pawn shop is required to hold any items brought in for a minimum amount of time before they are allow to resell them. This may be a solution to prevent online marketplaces from enabling thieves to ply their wares so easily.

There are waiting periods to buy guns it would be just as easy to require an item for sale to be advertised for a minimum amount of time before the contact details are provided.
You mix that up with RAII.

That's because the GUI is not a part of the OS. The GUI is not an integral part of macOS - it's just that Apple sells one bundled, the same way that Canonical and Red Hat bundle Gnome. We had a number of other OSs that made a similar decision, on Lisp machines, Smalltalk workstations, Apollo's DomainOS, and a couple others I can't remember. None of these survived to this day.
But making billions by exploiting every single one of your workers ( i.e. Amazon, McDonalds ), or irresponsibly shimming off of every transaction ( Bezos ) is cool. Start by making a list of the most egregious crimes, and put this somewhere around 350~450 on your list.

I wonder how they incorporated that into their productivity metrics

As an aside, I have used a workflow where I give someone a a paper to review as an overleaf project, they make all their changes, and then I merge it back into my work picking and choosing the bits I want. And this all works fairly nicely since overleaf has support for git.

I'm old, but I missed out on a lot of the original systems back in the day.

I have been slowly rectifying this by obtaining old systems and playing the games on flash carts, on original hardware, on a CRT.

I generally prefer it to emulation. That true zero-lag feeling of real hardware is such a treat. But emulation is cool too. Sometimes, save states make the experience 100x more enjoyable.

It's like music. Generally I listen digitally, but records are really fun in their own way too. For me it's not really a war between the two.

Once you restrict your stats to those that stay in school and don't do drugs, I'd think it is hard to correct for other causes. Like the presence of involved parents.
I and all my personal friends make that distinction about both sets of events. Regardless - reading a thoughtful, honest post that you happen to disagree with on some ideological level, and projecting your internal image of a hypocritical political enemy onto them by extrapolating to things they didn't say, is one of the most common forms of conversation poison.
I would have said the same thing if non Trumpers stormed the building containing a country’s political leaders performing election procedures to certify the country’s new leaders.
Your free trial is too generous.

Suggest using the Standard plan but with significant rate limiting. Like 5/day.

If they want to remove that, enter credit card details which you verify.

You can still have the trial expire and the credit card isn't ever charged; but you can track people on trials more easily.
You're not very knowledgeable about the geography of New York, are you?

Do you know what the landmass of lower Manhattan relative to overall New York City is?

Do you understand what a non uniform distribution is? Clearly nobody responding is familiar with basic math.

I'll spell it out for you guys. Landmass of lower Manhattan = very small vs overall New York. Using total retail stores in New York is highly misleading for that reason alone.

I could also say 450 is only .000001% of stores in the USA, so there's no problem! Same logic you're using, by the way

This doesn’t seem hard to figure out.

A person doesn’t steal 10 iPhones to use them personally.

If you steal 10 iPhones you might end up with thousands of dollars and that keeps the lights on and feeds you for awhile. If you steal a loaf of bread and a pack of lunch meat you eat for a week.
people who want to bypass those restrictions can easily do it. It is trivial to get a bunch of mail addresses to use, even without "disposable mail" providers. People who try to abuse the trial period over and over will do. Blocking the disposable mail providers however also blocks users who are curious, but not yet committed.

I argue that maths is negative for your business and a better approachbis to make it easy tonget started, but show them clear benefit of switching plans. Maybe a cheap entry level plan with a small set of convenience features, not available to the test account.

This really has almost nothing to do with governments. The Union Pacific has mountains of specific laws that give it sweeping police powers. They could stop this instantly.
Agreed. Any simplistic statement like "the problem with healthcare in the US is [blank]" is evidence of someone that doesn't know very much about the many complex and interlinked issues. Likewise, someone thinking the system can be fixed by "just doing X" is also being reductionist.

The pandemic showed a number of areas in healthcare where people were generally ignorant. For example, thinking that hospitals have tons of reserve capacity to handle extraordinary events. Even well before the current situation, hospitals (community) tended to run at about 80% occupancy. Far from being a profit-consideration, even the department of Health and Human Services mandated that hospitals had to run at least 55% occupancy, or they lost benefits.
One could pass in a cleanup function that will be called - but this is very similar to gcc’s cleanup attribute.
With 2.2 million people in jail or prison I think it's a bit ridiculous to argue that the US has lax prosecution as an issue relative to any other countries.

I'll be a bit more specific - there are about 400,000 people currently incarcerated in the US for property crimes. That's higher than the per capita rate of incarceration for any crime in Canada. If the US is lax in prosecuting property crimes, then I don't think any other developed country is hard on crime.
With all the supply-chain problems creeping up (and they're only getting worse) Capabilities Model that WASI is built around is the only sane future. IMHO running things any other way is as reckless and irresponsible as sending sensitive user data over an unencrypted connection.

Ask HN: Blue light filtering glasses for computer use and improving sleep
These are glasses that filter blue light from a computer screen. These are purported to reduce fatigue and strain when using computer screens for long periods.

There are also 'sleep' glasses that filter out some of the colour spectrum (in preparation for going to bed).

It's not clear to me why you would need both? Are they a way to sell more glasses variations, or a genuine difference?

Are these glasses based on sound science? Or are they pseudo-science?

The cost of these glasses vary wildly from cheap (cheap quality?) no-name products to more expensive brands.

BLUblox is one such 'brand'. They sell glasses for computer use, they sell "mood booster glasses that contain a light-yellow lens" for depression and anxiety. And finally, they sell glasses for a good night's sleep that "block blue and green light after dark with red lens".

Have you used blue-light filtering glasses for computer use? Did you find them helpful? Any brand you recommend?

Similarly, have you used 'sleep' glasses designed to help you prepare for sleep?
My guess: you probably see it, but it is being put into a party political box pretty quickly.

If I as a independent free thinking person — which has never set a foot in the US — critizise a policy objectively and on rational grounds I can gurantuee you that people will call me out as a member of the opposite party, rather than enlighten me why what I said is flawed.

If anybody who opposes your parties views is (dis-)counted as part of the other party, you get an easy way out when someone's argument starts challenging your world view.

Also: Flexibility is in itself not a value. A flexible thinker can be one that honors the truth and enlightenment to such a degree they change their mind when the evidence shows they are wrong. Or a flexible thinker could be someone who always adjusts the facts to fit their story, because all they care about is winning — and of that you can see a lot. Flexibility is a necessity, but ultimately the goals count. Is your goal to make society better? To survive? To get rich? To tell the truth? To "show" the other side with a deep rooted (yet unreflected) passion?
I wanna buy the hardcopy textbook but still have access to an epub version - do any retailers allow this? Linked publisher site doesn't seem to.
If you have a genuine choice of steal or starve, even then you won't necessarily steal food. You might steal whatever is easiest to and sell it to buy food.
I think the user will most probably keep pressing the F5/Refresh button anyway if the site is not working at the first try, so responding with a RST packet would just use more bandwidth and resources.

I reacted to this line too "The fork was never found.".

Yeah he probably took it. I was actually curious if there were any non-digested items inside him. Because people in modern days have even found to have all sorts of crap in their stomach like lugnuts or whatever they've been eating.
> For instance not considering past infection as equal to a vaccination

The CDC has published data on this multiple times... Vaccination seems to be more protective than a past infection. A past infection is approximately equal to a single dose of a two-dose vaccine.

e.g. CDC MMWR August 2021, https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm "These findings suggest that among persons with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, full vaccination provides additional protection against reinfection. To reduce their risk of infection, all eligible persons should be offered vaccination, even if they have been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2."
But if it is not a dead end street then there will be through traffic. Why should the people who happen to live next to that street be covering the maintenance costs that are due to that traffic? And why should they get a free ride--no pun intended--for the traffic they cause when they drive outside of their neighborhood?

The point I've been trying to implicitly make is that the road system is best viewed as a whole. Neither the benefits one gains from the road system nor the maintenance costs to repair the wear from one's use of the road system are in general related to how much of the road system is in front of one's house, and so the maintenance costs of that segment of the road system are a poor way to estimate what you should be paying in taxes to support the road system.
The social/political affiliations of the people involved is not the only variable by a long shot.
Yes, a lot of great tools, 2nd on my list is process monitor. It lets you know what sys calls were performed by any process, same as ptrace I believe. Super useful to debug a 3rd party app, for instance one that doesn't even start, looking for a file or reg key at different places, failing and exiting early. It allows one to fix it even if there are no errors or logs at all.
Anecdotally fasting and calorie restriction seems to give me short-term energy in exchange for the long-term need to replenish the energy. After several hours without eating i feel really good, even doing intense exercise. I continue to feel good and energetic sometimes even after a full day. But fasting too long or losing too much weight and I start getting really tired. And then when I eat it makes me even more tired because eating in general makes me kind of lethargic.
Dude what are you even talking about? 450 was across all 5 boroughs and that is the complete and utter opposite of widespread...

Most of the damage in all 5 boroughs was highly concentrated in specific blocks like what happened on 5th Ave

-

Like I get it, for a small business owner sweeping out their store 1 was too many, but c'mon, don't be dishonest.

450 businesses across all 5 boroughs and including even basic graffiti in that count... that was the literal opposite of widespread looting.
Yes based on the wildly different behavior between them and the average programmer. Why would you expect them to have the same preferences and inclinations in life?

Please paste an image up on Archive.org, so at least we can stare at the 'pre-meltdown' server.

"SCOTT: Yeah. Well, you know, it's not just an issue of money; it's also about spending it well. I've talked to many homeless advocates who have been in this world for decades who argue that city officials misspending, even wasting, resources that they do have over the years is a big part of what has gotten LA to this point, with more than 40,000 people homeless on its streets."

at $25'000 per capita we should be seeing some improvements, but it's hard to know how much of that has disappeared to 'administration fees'. Also the article talks about how the main push for this was creation of affordable housing, that has a long lead time and with material shortages I would be surprised to find any new units built last year.
