This! Too many rich people I know are very miserable people. Sometimes I wonder whether it is an effect of having too much wealth that makes one miserable. Personally, being a minimalist (naturally because of how I was raised), I also wonder sometimes how I should calculate as to when I would/could retire.

Anyone has any links to do these calculators would be great. I can choose to retire in Canada, India or US if that matters.
The parent comment is talking about using mobile data and gps - not sure why you even brought up the tile.

Tile is inferior to an AirTag if you seriously want to stalk someone. The network is orders of magnitude smaller. Don’t know why anyone who owns an Apple device would bother with it at this point
Thanks for the explanation. How does this mechanism compare to how rituximab works? Thanks again!
They work great, it’s just the network effects are smaller for Samsung.

For people at risk, it is meaningless. Your crazy stalker will just drive around locations and confirm where you are remotely.

The whole controversy is both real and bullshit. It is very trivial for people to get tracking devices for modest amounts of money in high threat scenarios.

I think the issue with AirTags is the less malevolent, but creepy scenarios. And to be honest, the issue has existed for years with “Find My Friends”, which I’m sure is widely abused by family members and others to follow people around.
Vitalik warned about cross-chain bridge risk just a few weeks ago:

My argument for why the future will be multi-chain, but it will not be cross-chain: there are fundamental limits to the security of bridges that hop across multiple "zones of sovereignty".

Note that cross-rollup apps within one zone of sovereignty are still fine. Not also that this also is a limit to the "modular blockchains" vision: you can't just pick and choose a separate data layer and security layer. Your data layer must be your security layer.

I hear what you are saying, especially since we lack real quantitative data here and are speaking subjectively about how we perceive a decade+ of discussion... I'm sure you are right that there was always an undertone of young men trying to one-up each other with comments. My gut tells me though that if we go back in time, there were more actual experts commenting, who drowned out or downvoted the people just here to shit post. Maybe not though, as your experiences bear out.
It just depends on your definition of "solved". If solved means "all consequences of anthropogenic climate change avoided" then it's obviously too late, there's no solution other than time travel. If solved means "humanity survives as a species" then we're in pretty good shape no matter what we do. For most people I think solved means "we avoid the worst effects", which of course leads to another question about definitions.

Many people look at the graph in your citation and see it as a picture of success, because the baseline in their mind is RCP8.5. Note that the graph makes a comparison to RCP2.6, which is not a "do nothing" scenario, it's a pretty optimistic and aspirational future.
Some towns in the US have done this, but it isn't without difficulties.

Just looking at a satellite map of Spain, I see La Langa. It seems like it has very few people, but they all live in a small town center. Looking at Uclés, it's the same: tiny place, but everyone is living in the town center.

Let's look at Potomac, MD in the US. The roads are sprawling with giant houses all far apart. That's a lot more distance to run fiber to get it to each house. Potomac is a rich suburb of DC and has fine internet (it's still dense enough for that), but the US keeps sprawling. Look at a satellite view of Pike Township, PA. There's a lot of houses with huge distances in between and no discernible town center.

> If you manage to use electric or telephone posts deploying fiber and getting a carrier is doable

I think this can also be an issue in the US since place might not have easy/cheap access to those utility poles. Title II carriers in the US get cheap, regulated access to utility poles. That's traditionally been your phone company. I believe the FCC tried reclassifying broadband as Title II under the Obama administration, but it might have been reversed under the Trump administration. If you're someone that already has access to the utility poles, you don't want more people getting cheap access to them.

Even if you have access to the utility poles, you can face difficulty. As noted, you aren't wiring up a town center, you can be wiring up places with a huge amount of distance between people. Even if that isn't a problem, property owners might want new cables buried. Even when power lines are above ground, sometimes they're underground from the street to the house. Many houses might be set back from the street by 50 meters so it can be a larger distance. You can have a 300m road with 3 houses on it each with a 50m set back from the street.

That's not to say it isn't possible (and some towns have created coop ISPs), but costs add up. Uclés has 140 people in it, but everyone seems to live within a 250m radius of the city center. That seems pretty easy to wire up. Pike Township, PA has 1,700 people that are incredibly spread out. That seems a lot harder to wire up. It's not impossible, but it seems harder.

I misread your post in exactly the same way and thought the joke was made by a journalist.
That's not actually a thing though. There are people/entities with large ETH holdings who could well be motivated to foot this loss, but they can't just magic (real) money out of thin air.

Well, it was always kind of doomed in this way.

When everyone is still actively building their friend list (remember this started for college students) its an amazing product because it brings you closer to people in a new way and allows for curation without investing a ton into AI/ML.

For people who stay in a static social bubbles for long times (e.g., your parents, your friends from HS who didn't move to a coastal city) it's also perfect, because they tend to value content related to their social group more than something new and interesting.

But for the highest value users (e.g., the ones with high-paying knowledge-based jobs and a willingness to try new things) the social graph will never keep up with their lives. Bad content from the edges of the graph will slowly creep into feeds (MLMs being a prime example) and those high-value users will seek out new platforms that conform better to their interests.

Instagram was a brilliant stop-gap, but Mark never saw the writing on the wall about algorithmic content (probably b/c Bytedance had the advantage of cutting its teeth in China first) and is just too far behind to ever really catch up.

So now he's trying to out-future Bytedance with VR (and even got them to burn $1bn on Pico), but unless he has some hard-tech rabbit to pull out of his hat, there's just not anything there.

We may very well be seeing the largest (negative) turn-around story in history since Yahoo! play out in front of our eyes.
If that’s the case “restored” is an interesting way to put it.

Fair enough. But you do notice that newspapers are still the most popular way for CPG goods like P&G to advertise where they don’t have to target or track.
I took a brief look at it and saw nothing to suggest that 'web3' added anything of real value.

If you believe there is, then I'd love to hear what it adds that's 1. unique and 2. actually desirable.
ATT's product along this line was a complete failure for me. I didn't have a street address at the fixed (albeit remote) location, and there were no street addresses I could pretend to have within its tolerable radius. They had no way of enabling the device without it being near a street address.

The technology would have worked just fine, they just couldn't fill in their E911 entry with anything that would work.
It's also the friction of everything turning. And you've still got your alternator, oil pump, water pump, fan etc that are removing energy.
There is nothing facetious or self-flattering here, these things aren't achievements, rather reactions to dependence on some massive facets of modern life, which, as it turns out, are not critical or even necessary.

This definitely wasn't intended as a "medieval kings had it great by modern standards" call to return to the past, but rather to emphasize just how much world-class, hyper-stimulative entertainment we have available, dirt-cheap and on tap, every hour of the day. Even TV stations used to shut down for the night. The shift started with electrification & recording technology, but entered a whole new phase only quite recently. When you put what we have in terms of what our everyday entertainment options would have looked like in a pre-industrial society, it emphasizes just how large a difference there is.

If anything, this is closer to a "Gods of the Copybook Headings" argument. "Too much of a good thing..." may be cliché and something only old fogeys say... but what if we're the ones making an error, in rolling our eyes at them? What if, not even that long ago, that was a bit silly applied to this particular thing (entertainment and nighttime lighting, chiefly) but no longer is?

I don't expect this problem to actually be fixed, but I do find all the casting about for "why do so many people have trouble sleeping, these days?" risible in light of what sure looks like the most obvious explanation, which never gets more than a personal-responsibility treatment ("put the phone in another room") which seems like a bad joke when you apply the medieval-king thought experiment. "Maybe the king should just not leave the bedroom, then?" LOL.
It takes an extreme level of hubris to ever think your code covers all edge cases and potential exploits.

Even if you let computers have infinite memory it still doesn't matter that much if a language is Turing complete. The person I replied to seemed to be more worried about CSS reading localstorage compared to being able to recognize a recursively enumerable language.
How many people's lives are saved from increased access to trans-oceanic trade? I don't have an answer to that, but isn't it possible that the counterfactual world where no container ships exist involves worse health and mortality outcomes?
> I've only been active since 2019, I wouldn't say the tone has changed much...

Largely agreed. If the idea that the pandemic and the greater isolation that tends to come from remote work are contributing to more negativity in the things people write (which is a reasonable supposition), then you'd probably also expect a more negative take from the things people read. What was once innocuous might now read as not-so-innocuous. In other words, is whatever issue there is just a perception issue?

Overall, I don't think HN's tone or content quality has changed much. dang & Co. are steering this ship just as well as ever in my opinion (thanks dang!)

(this was years ago but) I thought this too. I was relatively new to a new city and still building my friend group. I was worried that if I deleted facebook I wouldn't get invited to events, keep in touch with new people I met.

I deleted it anyway. Deleting facebook didn't change my real world in anyway.
I’ve always wondered if I have a “gaming addiction”

I play league of legends at least 4 hours per day, sometimes 20+ hours. I am obsessed with learning all the intricacies and improving in the ELO-based ranking system.

I still maintain a full time job as an SWE, a romantic relationship, and personal hygiene/diet. Admittedly LoL comes first before work for me, and can cause tension in my relationship at times.

I know many men that have a very similar relationship with golf, but are they golf addicts?
I think this is a good idea. Decoupling seems like an interesting approach. When I worked in this space as an engineer, bridging the notebook - production-ization divide was annoying. I'd be interested to see if this solves it.
I like GTML and GTTP. We only need to make sure that the G stands for GNU.
Can't you just get another nationality and then apply to the green card with that new passport?
Spoke with a trucker about this very issue. He started out driving CoE trucks and said when there's a crash the driver is ejected out through the window. Now this was before the days of airbags but that would be enough to discourage their use. He said it got so drivers refused to work at companies who used them. However it was the desire for increased fuel economy that finally ended their reign.

"almost the entire game revolves around getting from station to station in a desperate attempt not to run out of air was a big turndown for me"

That's not been my experience at all.

Just invest in buying life support equipment upgrades whenever you find them and you won't have any problem surviving your trips from station to station, even in the most hazardous star systems.

Also, don't go in to hazardous star systems unless you're sure you have the necessary life support equipment to survive there and get back.

There is a timer at the bottom of the screen (if I remember right), which tells you how long your life support will last inside the star system you're in, and if you see it very low when you enter a new system just go right back out.

To me it sounds like you either ignored that warning, didn't notice it, or thought you could get away with surviving in a very hazardous system without enough life support, but turned out to be wrong. Just don't do that and buy life support upgrades whenever you can and you'll be fine.

A bit unrelated, but I find funny most frameworks don't even have something to prevent CSRF. Most devs don't even know what CSRF are, and some know it only as "the stuff I need to disable because some ajax POST won't work otherwise".

In fact, every time somebody choose flask over Django, I ask what they are going to do about CSRF, only to get a blank stare. Same with manual PHP or using most nodejs web libs.

There are so many websites that are vulnerable to this, and it's something we know well, and have solutions for. Imagine what we don't know about. The internet is really made of swiss cheese.
> Of course, you need to be careful how militant you are here, because issuing a change order for every minor thing won't help you get repeat business.

Yep, I also find people don't notice the changes usually go both ways as well, where it's common that some requirements change a little or get dropped in a way that makes your life easier. It's great when both sides can be reasonable and non-adversarial about it all. A deadline with a well-defined goal helps a lot too, over a rigid list of requirements.

> To hedge against this, I tend to include a bucket of hours for arbitrary changes.

Can you explain this part more? How do you explain what gets charged against the bucket of hours and how many hours for each change? At what stage do you issue change orders?

Small thing I don't hear people mention but with the SOW I always add a list of "not in scope" items too (e.g. "web app works in latest version of Chrome only" + "Internet Explorer and mobile support is out of scope"). I find this help uncover ambiguities like the client saying later "I assumed it would have worked on mobile Chrome and desktop Edge too", and makes it much easier to say "we agreed that's out of scope".
My favorite podcast app, Pocket Casts, doesn't seem to support authenticated URLs. I'm not entirely sure why. I would have thought it was a relatively easy thing to do, and it's not abandonware.

I do give money via Patreon for a number of podcasts, and in one instance I have to jump through some hoops to get the special content. The others, I just give money because I like it, and the extra content either doesn't exist or doesn't interest me.

If more people move to some kind of locked podcast, I'd have to switch. Which would be too bad because I really, really like Pocket Casts in every other respect. I do hope more creators find ways to monetize their podcasts.

But I'm sure never gonna use Spotify. Even before they spent $100 million dollars to make a jerk the face of their company. So when the CEO says "it’s really easy to conclude we endorse every word he says and believe the opinions expressed by his guests" -- yeah, it sure as heck does when you spend that kind of money on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if WoW has spent more money by now than Star Citizen has, but WoW was announced in 2001 and shipped a release version in 2004. The added expenditures are all game updates, new campaigns, and general recurring expenses from running arguably the most successful MMO of all time.

Star Citizen, by contrast, was announced over a decade later in 2012, and has gone through its hundreds of million dollars without shipping a release version, or even a beta version (they dub what's currently shipping an alpha). So it seems reasonable to hold them to a different standard.

(Granted, it's not impossible Star Citizen is also profitable, all things considered, but that just raises more questions.)

Apple still has some weird atomization issues for a company which is going all-in on family stuff.

And today's supercomputer work was impossible in the late 90's.

That doesn't really change my argument. When you're looking at languages that are used for small tasks today, their speed doesn't have much relevance to how vastly bigger tasks are accomplished. And by the time those tasks can be run on a laptop, WASM implementations are going to be much better and we still might not be using it at all for those larger tasks.
It was a Mythbusters episode, and they concluded that you needed to be following the truck extremely closely (I believe within a couple of feet) to see a gain in fuel efficiency. The driver was unable to keep that small distance consistent for a continuous period of time causing more speed variations, resulting in a loss of fuel efficiency.
