> they all help me understand what is being sold

Do they? SEO spam sites, review spam on Amazon and the like, review kickback schemes, buying off of "influencers" on Youtube/Instagram/etc: these all add noise when I'm trying to understand what is being sold. In fact, many companies benefit (or think they benefit) from keeping me in the dark about what is being sold and many marketing departments make a living helping them keep me in the dark.

Facebook was never ever about the Social Graph. It was always about user profiling and activity/interest monitoring which could be sold to advertisers. The Social Graph was just one tool for that.

Coincidentally the profiling is also extremely useful for political leverage and behaviour mod. I'm sure that never occurred to anyone around the company, and the links to operations like AggregateIQ and Cambridge Analytica are incidental among the ad noise.

Those effects are FAR FAR less than alcohol or tobacco.

Alcohol causes some 40k/yr deaths (US) from liver alone, plus some 10-20k road impairment deaths, while lung cancer around 140k/yr.

Yet even states with MMJ treat it as some terrible danger where you need guarded stores, special certification, and mountains of laws, while any schmuck can buy the actual dangerous stuff with only an age check.

This is what I was thinking. The first players have made excess returns to patch the hole up and it's in their best interests. If everyone panicked due to the hack they would have lost a lot of the value/confidence of their assets that they didn't pay that much for. Whereas original asset holders would much rather keep the confidence/value in the asset.

It does create a morale hazard if that was indeed what happened - at this point just speculation.

Not that, you know, you're going to try and explain it or anything. "You just don't get it" has long been the go-to response for scam artists.

As any reasonable person would note: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So either it isn't actually as good as it claims to be or you have to explain how it accomplishes the seemingly impossible.

But Google indexes the whole web. I want a search that works just over the articles I've read.

"What was that article I read a few months back that talked about why you should be able to explain why a fence exists before tearing it down?". It works be perfect for the discussion I'm having with my team right now, but I can't remember the name of the stupid law or where I came across it .

Google is useless in these situations. I need an index contained by my prior search history. Had anyone built this yet?
That'd be interesting to know. I'd think that the involved parties would rather not take the "official" route, because that could force them to disclose business practices that might be questionable.

It looks as if staying unregulated and operating "in the shadow" is more important to the crypto world than legal security. It seems as if you can't have both.
I think there are a lot of people who are in my position, which is "I would absolutely love to ditch FB entirely, but I can't because of ____".

The value of ____ might be "seeing pictures of family", or it might be "coordination of/participation in a group that has settled on Facebook as the easiest path" (<-- this is me), or it might be "professionally necessary to be there" or a number of other things.

But none of these are positive reasons. There is no love of Facebook behind any of them. It's Facebook being tolerated. This is bad for Meta.

This is probably good for society at large, though. Or at least I hope it will be.

Racing sims are where VR truly comes into its own.

Racing sims especially. Many popular racing sims have great VR support, and a lot of them have very detailed textures (compared to the average VR game). Combine that with a good wheel and a structurally solid rig, and you really feel like you're driving an actual race car.

The downside is that it does take up significant space and requires extra hardware (wheel, pedals, rig, etc.), which is a dealbreaker for many (me included at the moment).

This is true but you also need to account for memory usage.

With Live View it's kind of easy to shoot yourself in the foot and end up going out of memory very quickly unless you already know the pitfalls beforehand and know how to counter them all.

For example, if you were storing 1MB of data for each connection and you had 10,000 users suddenly your server is going to require 10gb of memory or your server is going to crash. If you went even more viral and had 100k users now you need 100gb of memory. If you scale things back to 100kb per connection that's still 10gb of memory for 100k users.

You can use a LV feature called temporary assigns to help counter this for certain things but this requires knowing about that beforehand and also coding around using that feature.

You need to constantly make decisions like, well I want access to the user-agent of the person on the site but if I save that on the socket then that alone might be around 1k of data. If I have 50,000 users on my site, just having access to the user-agent means your server is using ~50mb.

Basically once you start dealing with storing state for each connected user in its own process you have a whole category of things to think about vs developing a more traditional app that's stateless. That doesn't mean LV is bad, but it's a much different animal than having a stateless web app serving 100k requests on a tiny server and putting a CDN / caching layer in front of it.
Ssh keys are also certificates of authority, except they don't allow anyone to steal your 1/3 of a billion dollars because some dev thought they were "smart enough".

Here is what led me to some home automation (scared of water leak damage)

- I had a home security system using some external monitoring the old way

- wanted to be able to see what’s going on when I’m away (alarm would trigger the security company to call me but not a water leak)

- bought Aqara water leak sensors, camera etc, plugged everything and currently use Apple’s HomeKit (Apple TV) with iCloud (2TB cloud with “secure video”) to get notified when I’m on my cell if something goes wrong

- this basic “infrastructure” gave me the basics for home automation where I can configure a bunch of conditions (if this, then that) and buy additional sensors/camera and just add them if I want to…

When I need to send my sister who has a bank account with the same bank that I have an account with, I can zelle her within minutes. I've done this once every month for the last year. In the beginning, it told me that it takes "a few days" to send amounts over USD 500 (my amount is USD 2,000). However, recently I have noticed that it says "a few minutes" for my request. There is no cost associated with it.

Assuming there is zero fraud protection, zero liability, zero anything for the transaction, is it possible to send and receive payments for free, at no cost, using any block chain technology? If yes, how can we get there? If not, why not?

> the now unfalsifiable Milgram experiment

Total nonsense. Experiments are never falsifiable, what does that even mean? Hypotheses are falsifiable. Did any hypothesis of Milgram's suddenly become unfalsifiable one day in the last 50 years because the psychology research community found a new moral compass? Did the foundations of what is knowable by science shift during the night? "Now unfalsifiable" implies change. So what do you think changed, exactly?

You seem really hung up on a strict Popperian falsificationism that you have misunderstood.

In any case, the article mentions that you replicate a proof by reading it and checking the steps for yourself, so I feel your criticism about deductive reasoning is misplaced. It's implied that soft science papers require experiment to reproduce because they are inductive, just because the author doesn't spell this out for you doesn't mean they missed the distinction...
What about sex and intimacy?
I don't know if the -a and -aga spell names are more canon or not, but I hate them. Fire 1, Fire 2, and Fire 3 are much more intuitive and better looking than Fire, Fira, Firaga. When I'm quickly scanning through my spell list looking for something during a pitched battle, the numbers make finding what I'm looking for much easier/quicker.

It's incredibly petty, but I wouldn't play this translation for this single reason alone.
I think you describe the real problem here. For me I just skip the bookmarking part. If I want to come back to something later, I just leave the tab open. This was a good solution because 2-3 years ago there came an inevitable browser crash and all the open tabs were lost. If you could not remember them, they most likely are not that important.

Unfortunately these hard resets do not occur any more. So I have to close the tabs that I find not that interesting after some days. But closing tabs is much easier than deleting old bookmarks. I assume this is, because you have not commited yourself that much.
I'd realy like this to work for me, but my memory isn't that good. So what ends up happening is I often can only remember paraphrases, or I can only remember the media type (e.g. video, blog post, repository)... I'd kill to have a system that allows you to just save content like that and then apply all sorts of such "soft" filters ("hints" or "guesses" instead of verbatim search).
Actually, I think it is easier than ever. You can move your stolen crypto to tornado.cash which pools your crypto together with everyone else's and then allows you to anonymously pull it out from the pool in .1/1/10... increments allowing you to effectively wash it. From there, you just need to launder it to legitimize it which you could do by creating some BS coin or NFTs with your real name attached to it which just so happens to get a bunch of "investors" (really just you investing the coins you stole).
> The guy claims that Bitcoin is "playing Numberwang", for christ's sake.

Numberwang is an absurd game show featured in the sketch comedy series That Mitchell and Webb Look. The basic "game" consists of the contestants repeatedly calling out numbers -- apparently at random most of the time -- until one of the numbers "is Numberwang", for which the contestant is (presumably) awarded points.

Aren't Bitcoin nodes also guessing numbers until one of them passes a meaningless test, for which the node is then rewarded? The metaphor is imperfect (like all metaphors), but I think this one is a better fit than you're giving it credit for.
>What's broken is what we want to do with the bookmarks once we have them. The problem is we don't know exactly what that is. [...] We don't know why we really make those bookmarks.

I think a lot of us do know why we save bookmarks. I think your point depends on equating bookmarks with a "future todo reading list". (Similar concept:
https://www.google.com/search?q=tsundoku)

But a more complete taxonomy of bookmarks:

- (1) saved urls for often visted websites like weather, status pages, etc. This saves time from having to recreate the google searches that finally lead you to that url or you found a deep url that bypasses a bunch of clicks.

- (2) an archival "memory" of urls you already read that may be referenced later. The bookmarks are not a "todo list" because the content has already been read. However, a future piece of information may make a connection back to some of them. The personal url archive acts as a more manageable subset of the entire web for reference.

- (3) a future reading list. Bookmarks are an alternative to opening up 100 tabs on the browser to read later

Most of my "bookmarks" are category (2) but I just save the urls in a text file instead of using a bookmark manager. For the really important references, I try to save as mhtml local files.

> Crypto has many examples of people leaving $100m+ on the table so they can properly fix a vulnerability.

It all comes back to trust.
I'm not sure this is right. I think the problem with Facebook is that long ago it shifted to a content graph in terms of use. I have less than 60 people friended because I limit it to people I actually know and want to know what they're up to, and by and large they're people that aren't constantly sharing memes, videos, or other crap. Of course, this means that I can check it out once a week and that's enough to keep up with everything, which doesn't make Facebook money.

I believe the reason Instagram, Snapchat, and now TikTok grew the way they did was because the parents weren't on those apps. Even now we see that young people migrate to other platforms as their parents start paying attention to the current one.
Thank you for sharing, I see more of where you’re coming from.

> burnout was the result of clocking in every day to do what felt like meaningless work

This is a lesson I was grateful to have picked up from HN about a year ago. The thread is at [0], and the quote from the submitted article was:

“Don’t half-work just to put in the hours. It’s better to give full effort half the day and then be done. Cultivating an ass-in-seat mentality is harmful to myself. When needed, give full effort all day, exceed expectations and demand compensation.”

This helped motivate a personal decision to leave a job where initiative and extra effort wasn’t noticed or rewarded (despite planning to stay a while due to inertia), and only seek work where I’m empowered to do the best work I can. I plan to avoid mistaking my identity for my job position at a company, but I would like to similarly aspire to be a professional who cares about doing good work for the user (versus just clocking in).

I have no insights in how they use that money, but I sure hope they have not spent it already on 300 SF developer years, but rather treat it as an endowment.

Show HN: GuideLab – Guide your users through their entire journey
Hi HN, I’m James and I’m excited to share GuideLab, on-demand in-app guides to reduce support load and make your users happier.

After a decade of working on products with small (20k) and large (millions) user bases, one thing remained clear - level 1 support takes up a lot of time. From universal usability (’how do I reset my password?’, ’how do I invite team members?’) to product specific problems, the answer is sometimes in a chat bot or knowledge base, but it’s cumbersome for the user and often gets lost in translation.

Using GuideLab, you create in-app guides (think a chain of tooltips) which can then be shared with your users via a link (yourapp.com/?guidelab=xxx-xxx-xxx) over any platform: email, Zendesk, social media, pre-existing knowledge base, Intercom etc. As soon as a user clicks the link, they’re taken to your app and instantly see the guide.

There’s also our search widget that you can embed directly in your web app; your users can then click the ‘Help Guides’ tab, search and follow any guide you’ve created. In that way GuideLab is fundamentally different to other guiding software like AppCues or userpilot. They focus on opting users into guides based on cohorts/attributes whereas GuideLab lets users view guides when they need them most.

There’s a quick (<1m) video on the homepage (https://guidelab.io) walking you through how GuideLab works. If you have any other questions, or if there’s anything you’d love to see in this space, please share (there’s a heap of product growth ahead for GuideLab… its a very exciting time!).

> If we're talking about currency then we generally assume we can skip that part.

We’re talking about cryptocurrency, which comes in thousands of different flavors. 99.99% of the population doesn’t receive their paycheck in cryptocurrency, so the exchange rate is happening one way or another.

Ignoring the exchange rate and pretending everyone always happens to have the exact cryptocurrency that a store wants is misleading.

> Additionally, ethereum fees are pretty reasonable for layer2

Which would be great, but again you’re assuming that the stars have aligned and everyone is already using the exact cryptocurrency system you have in mind from end to end. In practice, they’re not, and they still need to incur exchange and transaction fees to get to that point.

The fees are incurred one way or another. You can’t honestly expect us to pretend that everyone already has everything in cryptocurrency and everyone is already using the exact wallets and systems as each other. Reality is entirely different than the hypothetically optimal scenario.
