> But they generally have no working model of how a physical computer actually implements those things.

To be fair, how many blog posts have been written over the years on programmers doing ridiculous things with SQL, or network IO, or file IO, etc. etc.? If trained programmers struggle with these things, I'm willing to give non-programmers some slack.
Motor disabilities are really overlooked in UX. I have the most problems with modals and hovers, especially hovers with scrollable content, since it's hard to keep the eye tracker steady. Also in general I wish I could make buttons bigger without cranking up text size too.
Huh? How??

How are users supposed to vet all the software we run? How are you supposed to know that a compiled binary from Wacom snoops on your computer? That gmail - or, worse, some random startup has no security vulnerabilities?

Users don’t have time to read the source code for every product. Even if they did, we don’t have the source code for most software on our devices. And even if we could get that, we don’t have access to any of the code running on someone’s web server.

Saying users are responsible is the same as saying nobody is responsible.

The only way a user can take responsibility is to refuse to use products and services from startups & young companies who don’t have a reputation yet. And if people feel the need to start doing that, it’s bad for everyone.

Inflation isn't that simple. Sure, if you print a huge wad of money and give it out to everyone (ie. increase the money supply) then you'll get inflation, but that's not generally how UBI proponents intend it to work. The other side of it is increasing taxes on the other end of the progressive spectrum to compensate, leaving the money supply (ideally) largely unchanged.

Anyways, it'd still be better than quantitative easing, the current approach to keeping the economy running now that they can't lower reserve ratios or interest rates anymore, wherein (roughly) the government prints money to shove into the stock market so people who are already rich keep getting richer.
And yet what? Are you not convinced by the casualty data?
I haven't lived in the US in a long while, but recently drove 3,500km here and was surprised to hear Google Maps say things like "Turn left at the McDonalds". We all knew this was coming one day.

I also have issues plugging and unplugging external USB-C displays; I've found that I have to plug them in in reverse order in order to get them to be recognized.

Be that as it may, macOS has some cool display features from Sidecar (plug in an iPad and it becomes a poor man's Cintiq) to the upcoming Universal Access (seamless mouse/keyboard control over multiple devices including drag & drop and cut & paste.)

Seamless copy/paste means that multiple Apple devices can share the same clipboard, so you can copy on one devices and paste on another. Drag and drop is even cooler since you can drag something off an iPad and onto a Mac or vice-versa.

They don't need to collude, they just need a public price signal - which advertised rent prices signal. As a landlord, it's something like a prisoners dilemma, only there is a much lower disincentive for breaking away to raise your price.
Monaco. Top down heist simulator that’s very silly with amazing music.

Minecraft with buddies online is amazing.

Towerfall ascension campaign. Made by developers of Celeste (so it has A++ feeling controls). Single screen single hit kill defend against waves of enemies in several worlds. Good difficulty progression. And 4 player VS is a blast.

Not coop but vs:
Duck game. Works best with 4 ppl, high skill based, super silly single screen instant hill tournament. Playing this with buddies is consistently the most fun I have had in 10 years of playing games.

Gang beasts. Very very silly, not skill based last man standing brawler on interactive maps.

Party games like jackbox can be super fun, including gartic phone, skribbl.io, cards against humanity.

Ask HN: Joined FAANG, immediately stopped getting recruiter messages?
I recently joined a FAANG company and moved to North America (from South America). Up to the week before I updated my Linkedin, I consistently got usually 3-5 recruiter cold messages. _Immediately_ after I updated my status, I stopped getting messages.

I'm curious to know if others have experienced this, if there's some LI filter that explains it or some filter used by recruiters ("search only for people with 6+ months tenure").

Also no, I didn't change any visibility setting on LI.
might get it sooner by switching!
I thought AGPS was just the download of almanac/ephemeris data from a server on the internet. I didn't think it had anything to do with figuring out location using visible wifi APs or anything like that. Sure, you need an internet connection to download the AGPS data, but that could also be your cellular data connection and not wifi.
When the top 1% makes more income than the entire bottom 50% that average can look pretty skewed.
"...achieved a speed of 27.7 mph (44.6 km/h) sailing directly downwind in 10 mph (16 km/h) winds: almost three times the speed of the wind."

Very counter-intuitive. At least for those of us not familiar with sailing.

And even more counter-intuitive:

"In 2012, Blackbird also demonstrated sailing directly upwind with twice the speed of the wind."
Hi, I'm the author of a C++ library focused on tabular bandits, mdps and pomdps. It's called AI-Toolbox, and it's one of the largest non NN libraries out there.

The library is fully documented, but the text is probably a bit dry. I'd love for somebody to help me improve its accessibility, and I'd be willing to help them along learning how things work.

My email is my nickname and Gmail, feel free to reach out if you are interested.
Are you arguing that software in general never discriminates or prioritizes the company over users; or that there's something special about self driving tech that will make it far more utopian than other products in the wild?

This is a given. Recruiters are there to help you get access to companies you don't have referrals in. They're good for those from other states or countries, or from a different social class.

My business received about 1.25M from PPP. It was essential cash flow for us and helped save the business (from a cashflow pov) but it was also 100% a massive handout. On a systemic level it makes some sense I guess, but at a micro level it seemed like a bailout to the people who needed it the least. There is also basically no reason it had to be a handout vs an actual loan that required repayment.
> Speaking of Bluetooth, can anyone ELI5 to me why bidirectional Bluetooth audio (sound/microphone, i.e. headset mode) works so much better on Android than on Linux (PulseAudio/Pipewire)? People keep telling me that bidirectional audio is always bad but on Android it seems way less bad and voices actually sound pretty natural. What magic codec are they using?

mSBC probably, which I don't believe is enabled by default in Pipewire currently. (I believe it is just a few lines of config to enable though)
At the time I saw the videos on YouTube postings from "dutchsinse". Why is it my job to do your research? Videos of what appear to be moving globs get people yelling about UFOs and now videos of what appear to be beams just before fires get people yelling about space lasers. Do you really think that being sloppy and full of emotion and attitude somehow makes you superior and on top of all of this? If you actually dared to read my post I posited that these were probably the usual misinterpretation of sensory or transmission glitches, but you are too scared to even look up what this is about in order to give some kind of meaningful and informed reply. All you care about is a political wingnut.

My 10 year old navigation device (WindowsCE-based) has no wifi nor celluar and lane specific navigation works fine. Also having lane specific navigation is not essential.
Corporate Law 101.
I think Amazon was different from Apple and Google in that on the way up, they intentionally managed their cash flows to sort of keep their margins small (always investing extra cash into growth). Walmart is that, but to an extreme.
They could sort of just make money on the interest of their cash flow (I'm not an economist or accountant, so that is probably not true)
Crows trained to clean up cigarette butts on Swedish streets
Other online retailers (well, only the huge ones) seem to be stepping up their game and getting closer to Amazon's logistics and shipping ability.

It reminds me of how Netflix had more or less a monopoly on big-name video streaming for a ~decade but now every major rights holder seems to have either white-labeled somebody's tech or developed their own and are clawing back their IP to only show on their own platform[0].

Amazon had a long head start in online retail. It's true that they will probably never be surpassed in catalog depth ("the everything store") but I don't delve into the long tail of that depth very much and I'll be happy to move my retail spending elsewhere.

... well, now that I think on it, my only payment method on Amazon is my Amazon Visa, which gives me something like 5% cash back / equates to a 5% discount on everything I buy from Amazon. So any competitor is going to have that headwind to fight against as well.

[0] I wonder if this was a Netflix misstep: could they have prevented this by giving a greater share of the subscription revenue to the groups they licensed content from?

Thanks for the article! It's very interesting to see what Magic Leap is up to. Any rumblings about how Microsoft is progressing on Hololens 3?

Also, a side note—I develop [Unity libraries for displaying web browsers in 3D][1], including a package for Hololens because I received many customer requests for it. In contrast, I've received relatively few requests to support Magic Leap, which leads me think that the adoption of ML1 has been quite low in comparison.

In florida, I will say when it truly pours like that people do tend to drive extremely slowly and turn on their hazards. Also, sometimes these storms just appear out of nowhere. Over the summer I was driving from the Vero beach area to fort lauderdale and on the way to Vero beach, clear skies and on the way back there was an ENORMOUS storm that flooded streets and you couldn't see crap. It just happens

Hi! I'm transitioning into UX/UI design from a diverse background which includes some design work but was primarily in arts and non-profit admin (8+ years nationally and internationally.) I just wrapped up a year long hands-on program at Springboard.

Not to toot my own horn or anything but I'm rather good at working with efficiency, integrity, and excellence. And if there's ever anything I don't know, my pro googling skills come in handy. "Imitate and then innovate!" - that's one of my mottos.

Friends say I'm a fun addition to anything, so that's a plus if you're looking for energy and creativity for your team!

I'm looking for a team where I can learn/grow continually both from projects and a good team dynamic.

Cheers! Melanie

This is a naive analysis of the forces involved. Would you rather be hit by a semi-truck going 1mph or a bike going 28mph?

The semi truck won’t actually “hit” you. Not in a way where you’re imparted with it’s full kinetic energy.
The:

> UNLIMITED SERVICE LOCATIONS

Almost seems designed to get people's hopes up only to squash them again. What people have been asking for is an RV/camping/sailing Starlink they can use moving, and that product has yet to materialize.

Announcing that:

> Order as many Starlinks as needed and manage all of your service locations, no matter how remote, from a single account.

Is niche, and is only going to confuse people waiting for true travel-Starlink.

The core premise of the McNamara fallacy is not wrong. However, this article makes a critical mistake about the origin. McNamara was not just a business executive that believed he could take his knowledge to the Defense Department. He was an officer in the Army Air Force Statistical Control office that organized the Air Force during World War II into the successful machine that it became.

The fallacy is not that success in business is transferable to war, The fallacy is that the successes in World War II were transferable to Vietnam.
DAI represents less than 6% of the current stablecoins marketcap. It's just not big enough to be representative of the whole market.
> At what point do they have "enough" income?

If you require public assistance for housing and food, I think you don't have enough income.

But public benefits can phase out, leaving you in an awkward place where you have more income but less household resources and become unable to feed your family by virtue of making more.
I access a remote site near Vancouver with starlink and we have another satellite internet service there too. The starlink cuts out for 5-15s every 3-7 minutes. Makes talking on voip very frustrating. The old satellite with 700ms latency is better for me.
This is an odd response to this specific discussion, because Apple removed the user ability to disable wifi scans for location services in iOS 11. If anything, Apple is worse in this specific regard.
There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.
I also like to point out in a few similar contexts: even if you could measure all the things, and you could create a perfect/optimal cost function, there would still be no guarantee that you'd be able to find the optimal global solution. So relax.
It's a Google Search results page.
There is also the rise of the cloud, aka someone else's computer, to consider. There was a time when a power user needed a power machine to do whatever it was that they did. When you can spin up a 400 GB RAM beast for a few bucks for the hour it takes you to run your model/do your analysis/render your scene, maybe spending money for local hardware goodies isnt the best choice.

I feel profoundly conflicted about the swing from mainframe to pc to cloud and now back to edge again.
@blueberrychpstx yeah, I'm familiar with UserVoice. I want to build a public UserVoice.
That's what I'd expect, copyright on the word list. However, IANAL and I would love to see some proper analysis on the legal status of clones, especially identical ones with the same word list.

You can have a perfect clone of wordle running in a couple of minutes, but I'm certain that would be copyright infringement.
For the mental-health benefits of socializing and tackling challenges together (what I’ve been doing for the last nearly-twenty years), in no particular order, and not always with What I imagine others might describe as slick graphics:

For The King: Since we like tabletop RPGs and want the ease of a videogame handling all the planning, FtK scratched the itch awhile. Might be harder as a duo instead of full trio?

Portal 2: Figuring out the puzzles together was an engaging challenge.

Overcooked 2: Played as a duo and a trio, and I loved it while one of us couldn’t wait to be done, as they found it frustrating.

Divinity: Original Sin 2: Polished RPG where players don’t have to work together.

Deep Rock Galactic: Mining missions on planetoid Hoxxes for a heartless corp, fighting off the local life and trying to catch up with the hopper-bot (that carries the minerals) before the extraction ship leaves.

Sea of Thieves: Lovely ocean and weather and sunset modeling.

Valheim: I prefer this to Sea of Thieves because we can build. Fun solo and with others.

I hope you find a good fit!

Edit:

Wolfpack: Difficult submarine sim, convincingly-modeled ocean and mechanics (I’m no mariner), feels good to finally figure it out, bots are useful since they take orders, and it didn’t feel great playing as a Nazi (even if some in the navy distanced themselves from the government, per Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich)

Hell Let Loose: Some of our best co-op experiences are as a tank crew, forced to communicate and work together for a gestalt. I’d describe HLL as slick graphics.

I've been told as much. It's fine to have this position in the abstract, but it comes with costs in contexts that confront the reality that transgendered students exist.

So not in the abstract, but in the concrete, please: if someone is asked to state their pronouns (either in their email signatures, or at a meeting) -- are they allowed to opt-out? Or will there be "consequences" for doing so?
