I think for a lot of the golden geese we're entering a period where entropy is going to force a change to how they're valued, simply because infinite growth is impossible. At some point (and I think we're there or close) you run out of people who both want and don't have a Facebook account, or a Netflix subscription, or whatever else it is you're shilling. Similarly there was a dip in Amazon's share prices after their latest earnings call after 2021 income only increased by two billion dollars.

I get that these companies all started as scrappy startups, but they're now the establishment, and maybe they need to stop chasing infinite share value growth and start talking about paying reasonable dividends to retain value.
I have no clue how many calories running burns, but the act of moving around leaves you less time to eat :). Getting fat in the dark winters of Sweden is more likely for me, because I'm just bored and don't want to go outside as much so I sit inside and eat chocolate.
Maybe they should sound that alarm when they sit on zero day exploits that later get used to cause serious harm.

If they invested their money in the company stock, certainly yes. The basic tenet of investment is simple: no risk, no reward.
I did think of this, but left it out of the original post to keep it shorter. It is functionally better, but in terms of reading code, I find it easier to keep initialization blocks together and linearly scoped; the optional branch means I have to actually figure out which branch is being taken. That's definitely in the personal preference area though

I'd still rather a ternary over any of the above options though!

I get the sentiment. Consistent means differently for different person.

As a non power user Windows is consistent enough.

Obviously not for power user who often stray from the green usage path of Windows.

OpenSSH is next to Wireguard in security, and, in my view, not too far behind (roughly similar to OpenVPN).

Last I heard, reusable F9 launches cost SpaceX ~$30M. The goal is for Starship launches to cost about $2M, for ~5x the payload mass. Starship is also necessary for Starlink launches to be economical for the full constellation deployment.
True, but for many people "lose weight" is really code for "lose body fat", since that has desirable health and aesthetic benefits.

With all the leaks and exposures, and backdoors we are finding out about we are now just learning how unsafe everything always has been, the security that we thought we had in OSes and cryptographic wizardry devised by intellectuals who exist on a different plane were not actually protecting us from the harsh elements of reality but were instead a security blanket we hid under hoping the outside wasn't real, but the internet and web is here, and it is terrfying and horrible and an insecure mess, but "I will die like Thomas Jefferson: free, defiant, and without a security label."

It is a nice library. It's backend api is simple to hook into whatever storage scheme you choose to use. It's also nice to be able to disable wear leveling and use it as a fault tolerant private filesystem from an image file.
Think about it this way. The rate at which you burn calories is directly proportional to the rate at which you breathe out CO2 because that what happens with carbon you burn.

So if every day you train for an hour so that your breathing is 3 times faster, then you have additional two hours of burning in a day. 23 usual hours plus one worth 3. So you have 26 instead of 24 hours in a day.

It's way easier to put 15% less on your plate every day than to intensly train for an hour each day while keeping portions the same.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. They didn't say "MongoDB keeps crashing because it can't support the load we're putting on it right now." They said it keeps crashing because of "bad queries." Leaving aside the fact that no database worthy of the term should ever be crashing due to a "bad query," there's also the fact that a very important component of their architecture (a data store) isn't even close to being reliable. Yet, somehow, the name of the company is "Scale.ai?" It's absurd is what it is.

Standing still in -10C/-20C is pretty uncomfortable, but walking is perfectly fine and you even get hot after a while. So I'm not sure this is true.
Correct.

Core workflows would then be composed of core functions. E.g. "look up a contact to schedule a meeting" would be a core workflow, composed of core functions addressbook + calendar + email.
Well, it does have its pros, aside from fun, which I mentioned in the article.

I hated Sharepoint while I had to use it, but learned to love after switching jobs where I now have to use alternatives. Sharepoint is extremely complex but also super powerful if you know how to use it. And it integrates really well into other Office products.

I'm not sure if it's possible to create a software with that much complexity made for business requirements of thousands of companies all over the world, while keeping it simple. I must say I really like the Office suite and it's integrations despite all their faults.

Not saying that about teams though, luckily never had to use it.
One thing that can make you immediately unpopular in a community is implicitly accusing the community of racism when that's not actually the case, or, perversely, if it's a relatively small issue.

A minority individual trying to gain the approval of the majority is in a bad Nash equilibrium spot and cannot openly confront latent racist attitudes without triggering an imediate community defense.
The ISS orbit naturally decays without regular boosts due to atmospheric drag. I'm hopeful that Starship is fully operational by the time the ISS reaches EOL, maybe a few Starship launches would have enough delta-V to push the ISS up into a graveyard orbit.

Is metaverse the new blockchain? As in a bit ambiguous, bit misunderstood technology that has the ability to attach itself to other ideas, making them "all new". We started out with blockchain money, but then got blockchain contracts, blockchain voting, reviews, art, whether it made sense or not. It kind of feels like Facebook wants to own the next cool pop-tech idea that will work as a money vacuum for all kinds of things that could get "metaversed", whatever that may mean.
Seems a bit harsh to jump right into an accusation of the dreaded virtue signaling!

Would you agree at least that there’s a balance to be made, and articles could lean either on the too-dry side (all facts and no color) or too-fluffy (facts buried in an avalanche of color)?

I don’t want no color, but I agree with others here that many pop science articles seem to lean very heavily towards fluff these days. Online recipes are a more extreme example -- it’s increasingly hard to find the actual recipe these days.

Titles matter. A title like “A Short History of Nearly Everything” pretty clearly tells you that there’s going to be a lot of storytelling. But if you have a clickbait title like “Scientist busts myths about how humans burn calories”, you ought to deliver on those promised myth-busting new facts!

I think it’s interesting to consider a) is this a real change; b) if so, is it driven more by culture or by technology? (i.e. by ads)

It really felt like Facebook just had a perfect grip on the market since they had almost the whole planet signed up. But the rapid rise of tiktok, reddit, and in some ways telegram have just shown that the market has not settled and the current leader can be dethroned quite rapidly.

We usually see many downfalls when companies redesign. To remember one that really took off of their products: Dropbox. I couldn't stare at such destruction. Another company that I liked and had hopes was Typeform. Another example of horrible hipter design from a team who was quite bored and possible, a clueless head product.
I wonder if this could partly explain why some people gain muscle easily without eating more when lifting regularly. Common wisdom says you have to eat more to make up for the extra energy expenditure, or otherwise your muscle growth will be limited. But I'm just not that hungry. Yet not purposefully supplementing with more food during training regimens never seemed to hinder my muscle growth. Then again, I don't know that. Maybe I would've gained even _more_ muscle if I'd been eating more. Anecdotally, it just seemed like muscle has come on pretty easily regardless of how much I eat. Could the body simply be redirecting more of my calories to growing muscle during these periods while keeping the total expenditure the same?
VR does work for social media in a way because VR chat is the most popular VR app. I just don’t see how facebook can compete by building essentially the NFT version of VR chat where instead of limitless ability you get a locked down version of VR spaces.
Why is it terrible for the business if developers are left alone?

Personally I don't mind pair, live collab, etc., but I cannot really justify it productivity-wise. I just don't get as much stuff done as when I'm alone.
It's not possible to have a runaway reaction in a light water reactor either. The major incidents (TMI and Fukushima) happened as the reactor cooled down. It's just that the power output of the decay heat is enough to cause problems.
> Why is MS Teams so slow

It’s because leadership in software is rare and vanishing.

That’s the real problem but it’s too broad. More specifically, in the absence of accountability developers will do whatever the fuck they want. If you want better performing software you have to enforce performance metrics as a delivery target.

Most shops are just happy that any product ships at all, which is a shockingly low bar of acceptance. Why? Because in the absence of accountability developers will bitch and cry about how hard life is when any performance target is set of any kind. Accountability requires enforcement and liability.

Normally, in software, leadership is intentionally absent because the goal is to maximize ROI by deliberately not training staff and maximize the frequency of hiring/firing with the lowest possible cost friction. In that essence software developers are overpriced commodities in a process of manufacturing. Unfortunately, the result is a shitty product that nobody cares about.
> profiling users based on other traits, and essentially determining if they are using "approved" software, is a dystopia we should fight strongly against. Stallman's Right To Read comes to mind as a very relevant warning story.

Right to Read indeed... fanfiction.net has over the last months become really annoying. Especially at night, when you have the FFN UI set to dark, and then out of nothing a bright white Cloudflare page appears. Or why the Cloudflare "anti bot" protection leads to an endless loop when the browser is the Android web view inside a third-party Reddit client.
This is cool, but is it really needed that often?

There are some industries (virtually all of Wall Street, for example, and certain parts of government) where the company needs to surveil 100% of what their employees do on the web from inside the office. These companies have been running MITM proxies for decades.

Wouldn't any website that rejects a non-browsery TLS client be blocking out these people as well?
It's true that you'd still be criticised by some people even if you did a perfect job. (And I do think that you do a great job!) Still, a specific criticism can be on target even if criticism in general is inevitable.

Joe Biden could point out, correctly, that he'll receive criticism both from the left and the right whatever choices he makes. But so what? It doesn't follow from this that he's actually making the right decisions, or that he's found some kind of perfect middle way, or that he doesn't have any discernible political leanings. Nor does it follow that anyone who thinks that Joe Biden is left (or right) of center has been deceived by some kind of statistical artefact or cognitive illusion – though no doubt some of them may have been.

So I'm not sure that I buy the claim that HN is striking the roughly the right balance because roughly as many people call you a Commie as call you a Nazi. I mean, who cares what people hurling thoughtless insults think? Since when were they the instrument by which we calibrate the range of acceptable discourse?

One possibly constructive suggestion. It might help if there was some kind of explicit indication that an account had been banned. It would be reassuring to see this when stumbling across some horrible post from a negative karma account. I bet a lot of these accounts have been banned, but there's no visible indication of that.
Well, I'm in the German startup scence for over 7 years now. I haven't met a lot of founders that fit your image, so I'd say it's anecdotal evidence as well. It might be true for the USA, but it's not in Germany in my experience.
So the solution is just to use IPV6 only SSH? I'm serious, you could use an ip just for SSH, making it very hard for anyone even to get the server address. And it's not that hard to be able to access ipv6 addresses.
I find much more toxic all this comments that dismiss the importance of the environment - intended as everything not genetic, socioeconomic status, for example - and basically suggest that if you can't fix yourself is your fault. I've met really a lot of people who cannot afford to live off grid: they have responsibilities, people that depend on them, rent to pay and so on. Even if not rich, going off grid is definitely a privilege, one that I wish I had.
> Meat - sorry, Meta - is going to be taken down by antitrust actions long before any of that becomes possible.

I doubt this. There's no recent precedence for splitting apart a company of their size.

> The social element is more than a little half hearted now.

It doesn't matter. Meta is an advertising company. Augmented reality, if it takes up, opens up an unprecedented amount of advertising space for Meta or another company to target.
Agree, thanks, that was my point!
I don't think so.

I think back when Occulus was a thing and Carmack was involved, Zuckerberg thought it was just cool and bought it because it would've been fun. A complete guilty (and kinda expensive) purchase. There was no way from the get-go to make it profitable. Nobody wanted to see ads in their eyeballs. But he did it anyway. Maybe he thought they could branch into gaming, but somehow that dream died. Now 8 years later Carmack is gone and VR hasn't really progressed beyond chat rooms. They're left scrambling for ideas as their valuation is tumbling. They tried rolling their own crypto and that shit failed hard. People already have instagram, and whatsapp is slowly eroding in the west. A dumb little rebranded music app is eating their lunch.

"What can we do?"

"What about facebook, IN VIRTUAL REALITY?"

Because absolutely the last thing anyone wants to do is see their dreary fucking facebook feed in 3d. So here we are, a rename later, somehow thinking that will do anything. The last hurrah is to pretend we somehow operate as a parent company with independent subsidiaries because our brand is so toxic that years of bad press and a myopic pivot of our core product has finally caught up to us.
