It's pretty common for everyone to assume such things... particularly if you're doing it.

I recall when Trump ran into issues with contacts made with some Russian agents he publicly stated that he thought everyone else did it (to be specific he meant sending someone to meet with agents who said they had information he would want). When in fact almost every recent presidential candidate had reported attempted contacts by Russian agents (the lone exceptions were Trump, and George Bush Sr... but Bush had been head of the CIA so it seems likely the Russians might not try).

It seems it makes it easy to imagine these things by default if you're up to it.

For me it's the opposite. My brain skips over the irrelevant parts (i.e. import/from). Not moving the import also produces better git diffs

Countries deciding that foreigners can't use their citizen's data willy-nilly is neither authoritarian nor over-reach, and neither is restricting those foreigners from access when they don't comply.

Fun fact, I was out late last night at a local upscale gas station. Think clean, well lit, and modern touchscreen sandwich ordering. NOT a dirty, broken down place. You'd expect the tech to work flawlessly in a place like this.

I was second in line behind a younger guy who asked to use his iPhone tap to pay, the clerk shrugged and pointed to the card scanner. Guy taps his phone and the scanner bricks, hard. The young man was somewhat embarrassed for holding up the line and sheepishly dug some old school greenbacks out of his pockets to pay before slinking out the door.

The clerk confusedly tried without luck to recover the register, before giving up and asking me and the other 6 people in line to move to another register. I had a little mini panic because all I had was a card, no cash, and about $20 worth of snacks. What do we do when electronics fail?
So, we have to hope that those in power will effectively regulate themselves? Like Apple and Microsoft and Google and FaceBook, etc can effectively regulate themselves? The point is there is simply no accountability for those in power because there is no sacrifice needed in order to gain that power. Gaining political power is 100% a financial move these days, and has nothing to do with passing legislation that is "by the People, of the People and for the People".

The only solution to any of this is if attaining political office comes with some sort of life-altering consequence. You get a seat in Congress? You have to live as a hermit and abandon all your wealth for good. Political action becomes the ultimate sacrifice, like Italo Calvino positied: http://www.ruanyifeng.com/calvino/2008/12/beheading_the_head...

Eventually you must produce income in earnest, which is something twitter has been avoiding as it provides and intimate look into their ability to do so. When you're a startup its okay to be "pre revenue", because once you separate entirely from the VC teat and make a sincere effort to subsist you're forced to sink or swim on your own instincts and that doesn't always pan out and the music stops. These are things that influence KPI data points to bolster or justify a value of twitter itself both to potential suitors but also to investors.

Yep, the product had all the signs of being a passing fad that hit at just the right moment. I mean, it's an overpriced exercise bike hooked up to a tablet.

I looked at the company back when it started getting buzz and I couldn't see any fundamental differentiation, competitive moat or flywheel synergies. The price-point and space requirements limited the addressable market and the inventory is heavy metal with long lead times plus high carrying and distribution costs. When is Wall Street going to learn to be skeptical of non-tech companies pretending to have tech synergies?

The deck is obviously a typical activist investor hit job designed to highlight the worst aspects of the company's recent performance but my takeaway on Peloton is, after setting aside all the over-hyped expectations (which never should have been believed), I'm actually somewhat impressed by how well the company has managed to do for what it really is. In an alternate universe where Peloton never went through the hype-cycle, never took too much money or tried to grow too fast, there's probably a sustainable business there.
this idea of making a predictable key doesn't seem advantageous at all. what if you can't remember whatever series of words you used to generate this not-very-secure key? you'd have to store those words somewhere..... and so you might as well store the whole key there.

seems like a reliable way to back up your private keys would be to print it on matte or card stock, and optionally laminate it. to recover the key you just OCR it

(1) I despise the meme image. Memes as a communication form let both autists and neurotypicals pretend they are communicating but they are just a cancer.

(2) "Debt" is a bad term to use here because financial debt is a well-articulated concept that is surrounded by institutions for managing it such as credit reporting, financial reports, etc. In the case of "Technical Debt" people are just throwing it behind their ass and making no effort to account for it.

(3) Actually you can account for it. At one place I was at (as a dev) I was putting more tickets into the issue tracking than anybody else because I was putting in thin tickets about specific technical issues in the system. To push back against this they said "each ticket has to have some benefit for the customer". One of my complaints was "We have a 40 minute build process" and the benefit to the consumer of fixing that was "The customer would have had the product six months ago." When you quantify the impact of technical debt and other supply side issues it is easy to prove that a $3000 laptop pays for itself in a month and things like that. You just have to think quantitatively.
Airports are aware of that and in Houston they changed it so you will walk longer making you wait less for your bags at baggage claim. Sadly, people who didn't check bags also get penalized.

I find checking the bag to be just as bothersome as waiting to pick it up. I feel like I have to double the amount of time I spend at the airport. Some airlines have kiosks where you tag your bag yourself, but they're not reliable enough for me to show up later for.

If diet is a culprit, let’s also focus on inculcating better eating habits. More chewing of less-processed food, and save sugar for celebrations. If there’s ever a time to eat meat, childhood may be it, as long as it’s tough so the palate is pressured to expand, thus there’s room for all the teeth and for better nasal breathing.

I understand you feel that way, but unfortunately the political spectrum has gotten too large and too dumb for me to tolerate it any more. I'm a centre leftist who thinks for himself and comes to right wing conclusions here and there. But when a non-trival number of people hold such obviously hostile or ill thought out opinions I'm going to filter them away. Twitter should let people have their likes as likes instead of making them a soft retweet based on data science, or at least let us mute it on a case-by-case basis.

Show HN: Jless, a command-line JSON viewer
Hey, Hacker News! Today I'm proud to release jless, a command-line JSON viewer.

jless provides a JSON viewing experience similar to what you see in a browser's network tab in the developer console, but from the comfort of your terminal, with a whole suite of vim-inspired key bindings to easily manipulate your view of the data and full-text regex search. I'm sure many of you have some piped together some combination of cat, jq and less before; hopefully jless can replace that usage (hence the name). It supports newline delimited JSON too, so it can handle any output from jq.

I built jless to solve a problem I kept facing while building plaintextsports.com [1][2]. For the live data I use a lot of public, but undocumented APIs, and I was constantly digging through giant JSON files to understand how the data was structured. I tried installing multiple Chrome extensions, but was dissatisfied with all of them. I piped files through jq into less a lot, and that was ok, but not great. The Preview pane in the Network tab of Chrome's dev tools was pretty useful, and I modeled a lot of jless's behavior and appearance off of that, but it didn't fit well into my tmux + vim dev environment, and I couldn't easily use it to inspect files on disk. I wanted that experience, but in my terminal (and with search support).

Once I had built a rudimentary version of jless a few months ago, I immediately started using it whenever I was debugging something, and my usage has only grown as I've added more basic functionality. I've finally added all the features I feel like it needs to be functional, useful, and reliable.

There's definitely more features I want to add: Windows support, some way to filter data with jq filters (a la fx [3]), yanking objects to the clipboard, being able to hide keys entirely, streaming data in, so you can peek at the start of gigantic file, maybe a way to extract a schema from a file (like [4]), plenty of low-hanging fruit for performance. Support for different hierarchical data formats (YAML, TOML, XML) could be cool someday. I'm sure many people will ask for editing support, but sadly that is not something I plan on adding anytime soon.

I also used this project as a chance to learn Rust (code style and design comments appreciated!), which I had only dabbled with before. For a command-line utility, this felt like an obvious choice: small binaries (~3mb), instant startup, and great performance without any effort (try searching for comma in a big file!).

I hope you find it useful!

Sorry, I meant Duna Jam.
I don't see this answer, so here's my 2c.

I think there is a small distinction in the act of engineering vs. developing, but we all cross that line without noticing. Software engineering is the process of finding the most efficient solution within your constraints by leaning on algorithm/datastruct fundamentals. For example, you don't look at a tool's marketing page, you look at what it's built upon, how it operates, and based on these fundamentals you understand how performance, reliability, and cost will scale. If the fundamentals are too complex, you might have to do some measuring. If you evaluate or build new tools on this basis, you engage in some software engineering. I don't think this has to be some sort of superior gate-kept thing. It's just a kind of work.

We could make a stretch and claim that there's also "fundamental analysis of maintainability", but I firmly believe[1] that maintainability is subjective. We don't call writers "story engineers", and I wouldn't call any immeasurable and subjective work "engineering".

Edit with additional thought: I think there is a perception downside to both: developer and engineer. The "developer" downside is that you're more likely to be perceived as someone who doesn't care about fundamental analysis, and you focus on getting things to work only in the conditions you're familiar with (i.e. on my machine). The "engineer" downside is that you're more likely to be perceived as someone so fixated on the measurable, that you completely ignore the taste and maintainability aspect (falling into the McNamara fallacy). If you can't measure it, it's not worthy of your time.

There are just perceptions, not reality. Naming is hard.

> There is a status that comes with strangers knowing who you are, what you wrote, what your core ideas are… The problem isn’t that writing generates status, but rather that this status is grossly out of proportion to the wages they are earning in the market.

I feel like there's something implied here that says we should be listening to those who have the most money.

But in fact those journalists whose status/audience is out of proportion to their wages... are more representative of America than wealthier people. The median income of these journalists/pundits may still very well be higher than the median income of America.

If they have a monolithically wrong idea of what is going on in "America" or are monolithically unrepresentative of America (I think that's the complaint?), it's not because they homogenously have wages lower than other "high status" people -- and it will not be solved by increasing the wages of journalists/pundits, and or changing the set of who is listened to, to higher income people.

Some of the explanations in the OP are more interesting, like:

> Unlike wages, status is extremely difficult to directly exchange for goods and services. You need an intermediary, such as a person desperate to market their latest brand of protein powder or neo-fascist authoritarianism, who will pay you for access to your status.

Chomsky and Herman's 1988 _Manufacturing Consent_ is about the pressures journalist have to just take the statements of powerful people (whether in government or industry) and report them as facts (or at best as the story) without doing more investigation. But it was written in a more innocent, pre-social-influencer era, where they never would have conceived that journalists or pundits were actually taking outright payment (which they would have called bribes) for this -- even though I don't think journalists made substantially more then. Rather, they explained and showed how it just made the journalists job so much easier. The journalist didn't have time to do actual investigation, it was so much easier to just go on press conferences and press release. Which is surely even more true today with newsrooms that have been (often literally) decimated since 1988.

I think the OP is onto something... but I don't think it actually has much to do with journalists wages, the central thesis of OP.

In general, if we were somehow able to magically shift the journalist/pundit class to be higher-income -- and thus even less representative of the country as a whole -- I don't see this leading to improvements in any way.
The "sugar in water" is not a problem, rather a symptom: it is a very effective and cheap way to get calories into a human.

Way too many people lack a combination of access to fresh groceries (they live in "food deserts" [1]), enough money to afford these groceries [2], enough time to cook healthy food [3], or skills to cook food [4] - and most often these issues collide in poor and otherwise disadvantaged people... which again are at the highest risk of malnutrition, obesity and associated other health problems.

The thing to tackle is poverty because it sits at the root of all of these issues, not making sugary drinks more expensive - all this does is punish the poor people yet again for being poor!
