Consider just using AirTags then if you can. It’s built such that Apple can’t even read the location data, and it’s a onetime cost. The value prop is much nicer for someone that cares about privacy.
> had to hide her title on her resume when she left because no established firm wanted to hire someone whom they assumed they'd need to pay a quarter million dollars to be competitive

That's bizarre given Wall Street has been abusing the Vice President title for generations now. (VPs at American banks report to Managing Directors, a middle-management level of which there are hundreds if not thousands. It's the tier above Associate, i.e. straight out of B school or with a year or two of Analyst experience.)
You can say that again! If it helps at all, these comments are even more tedious to write than to read.

Fair. I kind of assumed there was some leeway not explained in the posting. As long as there's a written record of the employer making all work inaccessible.
> And, "deceptive" requires intent.

Obviously, it doesn't, because adjudicating this would require building a mind-reading device. Unless Spotify possesses one, clearly, the intent behind this rule is that the intent behind the deception is irrelevant. A rule that you can break by having the right or wrong thoughts isn't a rule.

> I guess that depends on ones definition of "promotes" and even "false".

Yes, and it also depends on what their definition of "Content", "Harm", "Health", "Medical", and "Information". What's your point? Words have generally agreed upon meanings, we aren't just shouting Shannon noise into the ether.
I just had a discussion with a friend about this last week.

Some people (we call it addictive personalities, not sure if there’s a better term) seem to get hooked almost right away. Others, can stop whenever they want with little trouble.

The problem is that you don’t know which of those possibilities applies to you without trying it, and then it’s too late. Since my immediate family members have had issues with substances, I assume I would be one of the people with a problem.

That’s the message I’m trying to pass along to the next generation too. You might not have a problem, but you won’t know if you do until it’s too late.

YMMV
Yeah, seems the only country that can dream about challenging the US tech industry is China. But they'll have a hard time with reputational issues.

I mean, how long until a sizeable chunk (+30%) of western tech businesses, or even other major Asian economies, start choosing Aliyun over any of the five big US cloud providers?

I think safe to say not in the next 5 years. But who knows...
One more thing, maybe the most important. Find the people you love and trust the most and spend time with them as often as possible. I never would have gotten through my mental health struggles without my wife, kids, and friends.
I got sucked into Satisfactory a while back. After about 100 hours in the game, I was standing at the top of a cliff looking at my creation and said to myself "I'm the worst ecological disaster this planet has ever seen."

I'm planning to start a new save soon, and I think I'm going to try playing with some self-imposed rules, like not removing vegetation. Not as much, anyways. I'm not exactly a budding architect; where I bothered with buildings at all they're mostly giant boxes filled with machines. But I've seen some pretty creative, inspiring buildings on the Satisfactory subreddit and I think the game is flexible enough that I could create a factory that incorporates the nature around it rather than just smashing everything flat.
> What good is it to a person if he can escape a scary regime but can’t take his lives savings with him?

What if unstoppable digital cash makes it easier to setup a "scary regime" in the first place? Where do we escape to when every place is run by such people? How would we reign-in the power that such individuals would have?
2 years in is explicitly not new grad. New grads are new grads.
Mars is 0.3 G, which is just as hostile for long-term habitation. No human child conceived, born, and raised in that environment would have the ability to stand on Earth without an Aliens-style rigid exosuit. Their heart might not even be capable of pumping blood to their head.
Huh. I'd never heard of TIPC before now either, but this actually sounds pretty interesting now that I'm reading about it. Shame that this was my first introduction to it (and from reading these threads, it seems like I'm not the only one).

I went to Columbia and hands down the worst class I took there was Calc I. The professor (might have been a grad student) was just absolutely incapable of explaining concepts in plain English rather than mathematical proofs.

Luckily I had already taken Calc in high school -- I was taking this class in order to get an easy A to fulfill my science requirement, which as a humanities major I was pretty cynical about. Last time I ever made that mistake. But my heart went out to the students that were learning this material for the first time, because all of them struggled due to the poor instruction.

It was absolutely inexcusable given the high tuition costs at the school.

When I worked for a bank it was explained to me that early on foreign banks and financial institutions would not take a call from someone other than a VP, so they made all the bankers VP's to get work done. That was probably an over simplification.
fwiw I have seen situations where their numbers were completely detached from reality, in absolute terms as well as relative comparisons over time.

They're especially inaccurate for any product with mobile apps, since they have zero insight into that traffic. Nor do they properly extrapolate between the massively different traffic patterns of users with apps (which tends to be a lot stickier) vs web traffic.

Several times, people citing SimilarWeb numbers have argued with me about things where I had first-hand direct knowledge of the correct numbers (e.g., numbers involving a company I worked for). It's frustrating. These people sided with SimilarWeb because it's some source they can cite, nevermind the fact that it was complete garbage in these cases.
There are lit mags that feature criticism, essays etc that touch on what you're talking about but predominately they focus on fiction and poetry. The academic ones are tethered to MFA programs, not lit or cultural studies departments. I subscribe to several lit mags of a similar calibre to those mentioned in this article and they do not require any intellectual gymnastics to enjoy. I'd point to other problems (many are MFA echo chambers, for one).
And, if I'm reading the documentation correctly, for the only use case I personally care about (theft recovery for expensive bicycles), it's useless because the thief can utilize the anti-stalk features to locate/disable the tag?

I mean yeah, different jobs come with different obligations. showing up high to a construction site is a problem in a way that being high during your shift at a dispensary is not. I dunno if that's "socially constructed"; it seems like a very real safety issue to me. it's unfortunate that we can't test for acute cannabis intoxication the way we can with alcohol, but I'm sure we'll get there in time.

more generally, I would push back on the idea that someone isn't experiencing consequences just because they manage to hold a job. spending all your nonworking time intoxicated is not usually the path to a fulfilling personal life. the consequences are there whether the person sees them or not.
Real reply: I think the subjective experience of the reader/viewer is immensely important. Who doesn't tingle at the feeling of relating to a long dead author/artist in a unique way or degree that you struggle to with people in your life? Simply amazing.
I feel like NFTs have a lot of promise, but that their current implementation and the hype around them is almost certainly a bubble.

In fact, I wish they’d pop already. I’m trying to learn what I need to build a useful product with them, and it’s been difficult to find resources that focus on the technical underpinnings instead of just “copy this code to create your generic NFT.”

On the other hand, the hype cycle is likely driving the tech to mature much more rapidly than it otherwise would. Hopefully, once the crash does come, we’ll be left with a solid platform to do real, novel work.
Titles are not standardized. Some companies a "member of technical staff" is a starting position and in others its the highest engineering position.
> Is it free speech if a foreign political actor sponsors someone to blow an air horn outside your bedroom window for a week straight? Because that is literally what happened in Ottowa.

I don't know what a "foreign political actor" means, but should a private individual be able to give money to anyone they want? Yes. Should the person receiving the money obey local laws? Yes. But this is more civil disobedience. Protesting is valid political speech.

Do I want that to happen in my back yard? Of course not. But that's not particularly useful. Perhaps I don't want bars on my block where I live, but that doesn't mean I have the right to make bars illegal. That's just silly
> Especially if they can just slip the janitor $10,000 to put a USB labelled "Barely Legal Gone Wild" into the machine while vaccumming.

Part of Defensive Depth includes vetting and requiring the janitor who cleans the SCIF to themselves also hold a security clearance.

Your cited example is also why Counterintelligence is a thing. It's not enough to trust your processes; you also have to probe them.

When I was in the military I met a guy whose job was to pentest (among other things) nuclear weapons facilities and NORAD defense installations, specifically their computer equipment. He had some pretty wild stories; suffice it to say the ladder trick doesn't work when you are trying to access an ICBM solo.
This looks really useful, as it solves a frequent concern I have: I read lots of articles but gradually important details drift from my recall.

Great to see the suggestions people have had (letting people see the product, giving install details etc) and you've been super responsive.

You mention in replies below about integrating with other tools as a way for it to work. I don't know how feasible this might be, but a tool I've been keen to use that it might fit well with is Archive Box: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

If you could integrate with something like that, it would focus on managing the content and this would be about the learning/recall testing. Is that the kind of approach you'd be aiming for?
I find the web 3 claims to be a hodgepodge of misplaced hope and occasional virtue signaling.

Can you elaborate a claim that you think could be realistically implemented that in turn could prevent the financial gains of others?
Speaking as an addict in recovery, this definition is the most practically useful. It’s step 1 of every 12-step program.

If you really want to stop doing something, and are trying your hardest to not do that thing, and yet despite that desire you feel an overwhelming compulsion to do that thing, even though you rationally know the consequences for you or others will be bad - that’s addiction.

Or as I once put it to my daughter when she was a teen, “If you are making a choice that feels like an exercise of your own free will, and yet every single time without exception, you make the same choice - is it really free will?”

(I was trying to get her to reflect on her own weed usage. Almost a decade later she acknowledges her addiction).
I wasn't aware that "elite of the elite" included many public schools that aren't even that difficult to get into. If you're a California resident UCSD, UCI, UCB, UCLA, UCSB are all accessible schools that give you a very solid shot at a FAANG job out of college. If you're a Michigan resident, same goes for UMich. Illinois, UIUC. Georgia, Georgia Tech. Texas, any number of great state schools. These schools are not that difficult to get into. They're also public, so there is no legacy shenanigans happening to boost wealthy applicants.

If you grew up in a shitty high school, you can go to a community college and then transfer to one of these state schools. I know for certain California has excellent policies that favor CC applicants transferring in. There are multiple ways in the door if you apply yourself.

Perhaps consider that a student that can't even get into a state school has no business or ability to write code at a level that would merit a 250k salary. The bar is on the floor.
I have friends who do this too, but it always just feels icky to me. Yes, I know that my mobile carrier knows more or less where I am at all times, and Google knows with even greater precision. But I don't want people I know, even my partner, to have that kind of access (and I don't want to be able to track my partner, either).

Another poster mentioned their wife went to a doctor's appointment, but it was in the same building as a divorce lawyer. Having forgotten about the appointment, they panicked. That sort of thing tells me that this sort of thing isn't harmless, even if there's nothing nefarious going on. There are enough reasons in life for miscommunications and misunderstandings to pop up; adding extra ways for that to happen by accident is not something I'm interested in.

I think targeted, time-limited, explicit sharing can be useful. I used to use Glympse sometimes, when I was on my way somewhere, to make it easy for other people I'd be meeting to know where I was and how long they'd expect to be waiting for me. That let me share with specific people, on demand, and only for a certain amount of time that I specify up-front. But blanket, always-on sharing? No thanks.
I'm wondering if he actually said "Get ready for the crash", as the article title and former HN title suggest. It's not in the interview. I suppose it's kind of implied.

We never had to do that. We could have simply not invaded the main islands. Furthermore, we could have offered a peace agreement that ends the war without occupation of Japan.
Childcare is definitely an issue in so many contexts, can definitely recognize that. Hopefully that's something more people are thinking about going forward with an eye towards the social value of it and the problems of people facing it in even non-epidemic situations.

But gains from no-commute / remote setups weren't limited to single/childless people. Some of the people I know who were taking rides / runs in the hills were couples with kids working schedules out with their partners, and I can think of families who demonstrated that reproduction doesn't bar one from buying home exercise equipment.

And "it became illegal to have anyone else look after our kids" -- I get that it's frustrating to have a service that you rely on closed. I can see that'd be especially hard with group daycare. I saw that frustration play out. I also saw people continue babysitting or au pair arrangements with whatever behavioral stipulations for epidemic-safety made sense to them, and that got easier as lots of people pulled out of service/retail labor force. Childcare was different but illegal seems like hyperbole.

I'm sure your experience was difficult or stressful; lots of people found adapting difficult in various ways (nor were single/childless people exempt, though the challenges might be different). But the idea that the parent poster forwarded that somehow civil policies generally "broke" people's health/exercise habits is a poor generalization... and whatever the truth about the difficulty of your particular situation, the idea that adapting was just impossible for people with kids and additionally that anyone pushing back on criticism of restrictions just isn't thinking about that doesn't hold up as a generalization either.
Whenever I open the front door my cat tries to zip out and run away.

He doesn't go far, and generally stops running from me after a few meters and gives up. But I am concerned what might happen if he's away a few hours before I discover.

So I put an airtag on his collar. It's already paid off once when I found the front door open I just looked up where he was and went and got him.

Nice! Archivy [0] has some of the same goals with integration of web content, also using Readability. Instead of going the highlight route, each article becomes a note in your knowledge base you can edit / add to.

It's really exciting to open source a project, Lurnby looks cool!

The only way I see this ending is splitting airtags into two populations: remote-tracking enabled and remote-tracking disabled where they act like a regular bluetooth tag. Enabling the remote-tracking feature will probably require you to register with Apple with photo ID and have your identity visible to anyone within range of the airtag.

Which is fine by me. I'm just excited to have a way to get my cat back if she ever escapes outside.

It may be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(computer_progra...

The idea is that you grit your teeth and let code be deduplicated twice (but no more), rather than immediately DRYing up code, so you'll (hopefully) have a better sense of what the common code should look like.

(I personally think it's too hard in practice, as common code can be written sufficiently differently to not be recognizable as common by the Engineers Of Tomorrow).
Antihistamines show promise in treating long Covid-19 symptoms
The 'zooping' or whatever they call that allows you to build multiple things at a time is outstanding. Enormous time saver.

With a few exceptions, I think building placement is outstanding. Hold alt and it snaps, even if the other building is far away, with audio cues. Conveyor belts give a dopamine hit every time I place a long one. That is with foundations of course. Without them you get the spaghetti mess.

What is more difficult than Factorio is that there are no blueprints or robots to build stuff for you. Also, the terrain doesn't help, we can't just destroy cliffs. But that's also interesting.
Stories in the SF magazines have also pretty much disappeared from award-nominations like the Hugos and the Nebulas, replaced by publications that are free online like Uncanny or Tor.com. It makes sense: people are much more likely to read and nominate these stories, and the shrinking number of readers means a smaller pool of potential nominators. I think it's just a matter of time, maybe a decade or so, before the print magazines disappear.
I love Factorio!

If you've completed enough of the base game, I can recommend Seablock (which includes AngelBob) and Space Exploration as two mods that make the game dramatically larger. I played some of Pyanodon (which is also sometimes mentioned as a big mod) but I found it kind of gratuitously complex.
> soil

Both aquaponics and aeroponics provide ways to grow plants without soil. Breeding insects or algae may provide nutrition with very small amounts of mass needing to be transported.

> nuclear reactors

Yes, these are a necessity but we've sent one to Antarctica before and we could send a more modern one to Mars.

> nuclear and other fuels

The good thing about nuclear fuel is that you need a very small amount of it to produce a lot of energy for a long time.

> machinery for every eventuality (including chip fabs)

Colonists by necessity must make do with less and that does mean a lower standard of living and higher mortality but you know what they do it anyways because some things are worth trading comfort and a decade or two of life for. English colonists didn't bring the entire industrial infrastructure with them to the New World. They brought what would fit on the boats and had to make do with what they could create from local resources or do without. They had the benefit of subsequent voyages but I don't think anyone here is imagining colonizing Mars or Antarctica with a single expedition.

> raw materials

Mars (and Antarctica for the most part) do lack anything biological in origin, no oil or wood or crops as feedstock for chemical reactions but there are always alternatives. We usually don't use those alternate sources here because they are too labour or energetically or materially expensive but when they are your only option price and effort become less of a concern.

> all the challenges are at least an order of magnitude harder

No one who is attempting to work towards this is doing it because it is easy. I remember there being a speech about that which ended up with some pretty spectacular results.
> The index and the collection iterated over is passed as the 2nd/3rd parameters in JavaScript,

Yeah, the “map and friends pass extra parameters that are usually ignored” plus the “lots of JS functions optionally take extra parameters that are usually unused” makes it so easy to think of a function as a one-arg function when its really one plus multiple optionals, use it bare in a map, and get stung by it.
Just started Urge: Our History Of Addiction yesterday!

I think the usual argument for expanding the money supply is that you want to target for a small amount of inflation (I think the Fed targets 2%) to avoid deflation, since the deflationary spiral is a huge problem. Also, historically populations have been increasing, so you'd need more money just to keep the same amount per person. I'm not financier, but an (ideally) constant 2% inflation seems low enough to not be a problem for wages, but also predictable and plannable. Most investing calculations take into account inflation, and a constant 2% is a easy to include in the calculations.
