I don't think anybody is dreaming of being an underpaid delivery worker for ubereats with zero benefits, high risk of accidents, and just overall terrible working conditions

when we invented aqueducts who cared about the water delivery workers?

those are terrible jobs and they should be automated/replaced
It depends on the size and performance of tooling. If I can query the data files from in browser, then I'd totally pay for them.

I suspect they'll be large though, and require actual infrastructure to support. Probably a mid-sized VPS at minimum.

At that point, I don't think I'd want to buy them anymore. It's going to cost more than the new crop of premium paid search engines, and I still have to do the maintenance myself.

It makes more sense to me as B2B operation than a B2C, as long as infra is required.

> In a closed system, all you see are public keys sending/receiving from other keys.

Sure. Now show me a human economy that's a closed system! We meat-sacks love our groceries, movie tickets, &c.

> If you want to identify or censor a person or their transaction, you need external information linking them to a particular address.

As we've seen with every single legal exchange, this isn't true: you only need to identity the coins themselves as having been laundered or obtained from/otherwise mixed with the produce of a crime, and nobody will accept your money. Bitcoin cannot solve the Big Man With A Stick problem, and ignoring the problem makes it strictly worse than fiat.

> But in 100 years if we want to change it, we can, because its an open source protocol that can be forked and forced to compete with other ideas.

"Just change the protocol" has worked out famously well for every cryptocurrency so far ;-)

I want one of those pneumatic tubes that banks have installed that runs from the local Chipotle to my house ... I'd even pay for it.

Riffing on your comment, but I think there has been a general increase in antisociality in the last few years (especially since the pandemic, which has traumatized society). Like people leaving scooters haphazardly lying around or you pushing over delivery robots instead of pushing them out of the way. People feel more and more justified to engage in antisocial behavior. And it feeds on itself. You see this as being anti-social behavior by the robot companies, therefore justify engaging in more antisocial behavior.

I wonder if anyone has an index that measures how often people leave carts randomly in a parking lot or in the actual corrals (not counting stores that incentivize it with a quarter). Would be a good measure of pro- or anti-sociality.

There's some distinction between 'using the internet' and 'social media' (which is a somewhat nebulous term, possibly).

Could I go 3 days without 'social media' or 'socializing online'? Yeah - it might be a bit tough as it's definitely a habit, but... it's not 'vital'. I went to the beach last year and ... just sat and read a book. Got a phone call from my wife, which ... perhaps that's 'social media' in some sense? But I had a bit of time away from the standard online social places (including HN) and it was definitely doable.

Three days without 'internet access'... including driving navigation, banking, access to my health information, etc? That would be harder. Doable, but would definitely be a lot more noticeable. Would ideally plan for it a bit in advance :)
The thing is, the scale of Whatsapp is completely different. WA can have 256 members in a group or broadcast, Telegram 200.000 - three orders of magnitude more.
My limited understanding of the US law in regards to this is that if something is illegal in the US, the US persons are liable even if they commit the crime abroad.
So they should still be criminally liable.
Australia should have something similar, but I know even less about the relevant details.

I wish I could be of more help.
It really depends on the other players. I try to make sure that I only communicate neutral-to-positive stuff in a game's voice chat. Stuff that's generally relevant to the situation at hand.

Insulting randoms is done in Discord, with friends, since insulting a random player in a game you're currently in does nothing to help if the team is struggling.

Like the other day, I was playing Deep Rock Galactic. I host my own lobbies to keep things simple (and to feel entitled to a bit more control), and had started with 3 players instead of 4, since that's fine. The 4th player to join was the second scout (I prefer to play Scout if I'm hosting, and have no way to change when ingame), and I kinda blame them for why we lost that map. I tried using voice chat to quickly coordinate with them and the others, but lack of coordination ended up killing us all. In hindsight, I should have just kicked the second scout when they joined.

(Hazard level 4. We got a Crassus detonator (big, does big damage, explodes on death, makes a golden crater) and a Dreadnought (big, somewhat fast, armored, ranged + melee attacks) spawn at roughly the same time, were SUPER short on Nitra (resupply resource, and we were missing a whopping 3 out of 80), and not enough damage output to kill one or the other big baddie properly (Crassus needs to be killed in a tunnel to maximize its reward). I also asked the other scout to go revive another player who had gone down in an odd spot (since scouts have great mobility), but they preferred to use their weak gun against an armored enemy, while the Gunner tried to get the Engineer and also went down.

Plus, earlier in that map, people had burned their 1-use perk to get up after being downed, while there was still a very good shot of surviving. If I tell someone I'm coming for them, I really do mean it, even if I'm dancing around shooting the bugs off of their downed body. I just want to make enough space to not get bitten, and to not waste my 1-time use of Field Medic to insta-rez them.)

Realistically, how many people / companies, in reality, need k8s? It’s a very complex solution geared at managing huge clusters. Sure, if you are Google or Netflix it makes sense. But for smaller deployments, I can’t see why less complex solutions cannot work.
K8s is a great tool, but it’s very complex and has reinvented a lot of things, which traditional tools can do just as well.
Thought this was going to be about somebody who accidentally signed up for a sketchy job a recruiter offered them and then eventually found out they were working for organized crime.

I quite liked this article. I would be interested in more analysis on the environmental effects of endocrine disruptors as a result of plastic seepage and hormonal birth control, but it seems like it's not super easy to find without venturing into crazy conspiracy land. I don't want to sound like General Jack Ripper but at the end of the day we're just animals. If the environmental impact of these pollutants is pervasive enough I would imagine it would have large aggregate effects on human behavior.
>Comparing slavery to vaccines is simply absurd

Comparing the covid vaccines to previous vaccines is simply absurd. You know what other vaccines do? THEY PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING THE DISEASE! The covid vaccines do not do this! Even if you get the covid vaccine, you can still get covid and you can still die! And not only that, the covid vaccines are at least an order of magnitude more dangerous than previous vaccines in terms of causing severe adverse effects and death, as measured by post-market safety databases like VAERS and VigiAccess.

That aside, I'm not comparing slavery to vaccines; I'm comparing slavery to compulsory medical treatment! Both are horrendous assaults on human dignity because they deny the person's right to choose what they do with their body.

>but I think it's good for society to keep you away from the rest of us.

Have fun when the government forces you to inject some chip or implant to track your every movement and there's nobody there to save you because all the people who brave enough to fight for bodily autonomy already left your sick state.

The rights that protect someone like me from someone like you assaulting me with needles are the same rights that would prevent a future Trump-but-worse leader from sterilising someone like you for your sexual preferences. Give up those rights, and the majority has full control over what goes into your body.
> Of course, all the testing agencies are collecting DNA. The records will be somewhere.

The news is from the UK. One can order tests by post, do the tests themselves and only report the test results (either the free ones, but there are travel tests available too). The testing firm never gets the physical test sample.

> Well in my book the order is still something like Google < M$ < Facebook < Amazon when it comes to "evilness".

I find this an interesting order to think about. Amazon has directly lead to fatalities and ( I would describe as ) an abusive work environment, but Facebook I would say has done more harm on a larger "societal shift" scale.

I suppose just looking at direct consequences of actions, I agree with your assessment - Amazon knowingly builds itself of labor abuse, and Facebook can at least lie to themselves.
> Bitcoin can use energy in places you couldn’t get to before

You're suggesting a scenario where, instead of using energy at point A to do useful work, we use energy at point B to generate Bitcoin to buy energy at point A to do the useful work. In this scenario,

1. the same amount of energy is still being generated at point A, and
2. an incredible amount of additional energy is being generated at point B for no reason
Some of them have a "phone home" feature - after being stuck a while they may be taken over by a human. This is likely to be a feature of many autonomous vehicles including ones occupied by humans.
Metaverse = More immersive 'Second Life'/'Roblox'/'Minecraft' but with more expensive hardware requirements?

At some point your body will also fail to exert energy; there are also metabolic safeguards ahead of the point where your body can no longer manage the energy to keep basic functions going where the lower-priority functions (immune system, cognitive function, motion muscles) start to degrade.

You don't need to be at the limit of human energy intake to see what happens to people when their energy expenditure greatly exceeds the energy available from food over a sustained time period; there is quite a lot of medical literature on the effects of such... er... malnutrition.
Naively I was hoping it was going to be a low-fx rogue-like. I mean, I know, right? Oh well.
I'm all for robots taking over the world, that is, if I get my tacos.
A couple of years ago, I was attacked by a Kiwi bot near a UC campus. This is my story.

The bot and I were moving towards each other on a sidewalk, and when I came close it stopped, as they do when sensing an object in front of them. But there was an awkward moment as I tried to go around it and it repeatedly jerked forward an inch as its motor kicked on and off. Maybe I was walking around the very edge of its radius. In any case, my behavior must have triggered some pathfinding bug, because it turned and drove right into my legs, after which it stopped and sat stationary. Luckily they're small and move slowly so it wasn't a big deal, but that memory stuck with me. Articles about Tesla pathfinding issues always bring it back to the surface.
Four hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation, flung their wooden shoes, called 'sabots' into the machines to stop them. ...Hence the word 'sabotage'.

Dad takes down town's internet by mistake to get his kids offline
You underestimate the role of the previous generation. If I had kids they'd get a smartphone no earlier than 13 years old, for example. I know a good amount of families that periodically engage their kids in the real physical world so they're not constantly glued to screens. Those kids looks happier to me, compared to the constantly unhappy ones that always curse yet another "pay to keep playing" game while not realizing they are glued to a screen.

You are correct that if all the choices of a younger generation shepherd them to equally predatory places then they can't win. But again, don't underestimate the older people and their (sometimes) better perspective on things. They can show the kids that there are in fact other universes to explore.

The craziness that many corporations want to impose on us is passively resisted by many even now -- as in, they just avoid it.

This is something that the "growth hackers" miss in their so-called analysis: the passive resistance element. Many folks won't actively argue with you whether your super cool VR idea is good or not. They'll just shake their heads and leave.
That argument is pretty weak, technological advances may allow people to create pretty complex beings in the near future (assuming we can't already).

Sapience was probably defined hoping to make it a human exclusive, but recent science has eroded the idea of a qualitative singularity in humans. We are merely quantitatively different.

Even single cells can be conditioned using the Pavlovian paradigm, which is a basic form of learning.

I'd expect an entity with complex and immutable information processing ability (no writable memory) to be purely sentient.
1) Is it legal?

2) Is it cost effective to collect and store?

If both 1 and 2 are true then why wouldn't they do it? That's of course different from asserting "all testing agencies are collecting data", but are we to assume few are doing this collection?
Menubar can be configured to auto-hide, though it’s kinda moot on the built in screen of M1 Pro/Max machines since those have a strip of added pixels on the top for the menubar to live in. Won’t hide the titlebar but that’s such a small part of the screen it’s never bothered me…. But then again I make use of titlebars frequently, the hotkey-dragging of tiling WMs drive me crazy.
I was already in agreement that he sucks, but that doesn’t actually tell me he committed an offence under section Foo of the Perfectly Sensible Yet Obscure Medical Consent Act 1869 or whatever, so I don’t know if legally speaking he ought to have been locked up.
> With reuse the may well be $10m per launch or even less

That is a very low estimate. Most people assume more like $20m per launch. Some say $15m.

You still need to manufacture a complex upper stage and complex engine. Reuse of the Merlin is not perfect. It involves a lot of transportation. It involves having a substantial navy and so on.

All in all including fix cost, I would say the can't make it much cheaper.

To get cheaper a next generation rocket is needed.

> What people forget is that payloads are deeply coupled to their launch vehicles. The launch vehicle will dictate the maximum weight and dimensions of the payload. You can't just take a payload designed for one vehicle and put it on another.

While somewhat true, its not universal. Many adopters are standards. And as long as the conditions are not so different. Like if you move between a liquid and a solid rocket, the environment is not that different.

> The evidence for this is the relatively few Falcon Heavy launches we've had and are planned.

There are 5 Falcon Heavy launches planned.

And the thing with Falcon Heavy is that most payloads are volume constraint, and the Falcon Heavy doesn't actually increase that over Falcon 9 while being strictly more expensive.

At the end of the day, the worst case is Starship is a marginally cheaper Falcon 9.

> What else will it be used for? That's a bit of an open question.

Certainty a problem but only once you get to the very high launch rate musk wants. If on a per launch bases its cheaper then Falcon 9, it will have a reason to exist. And from there you can hopefully increase rates over time as the industry takes it into account.

The gig economy isn't great either, though. These are tough jobs.

The development from human workers to robots mimics what happened in delivery of messages. When I was a kid, people would deliver telegraphs to your door - for a substantial markup. These days, e-mails get delivered to your inbox without any human in the loop, and for free.
That's why selling it should be heavily punished.
I'm going to go against the grain and say I would (excluding my inability to reply to real time messages bc I'm in a funk). HN is kind of hard to engage with, considering the website is web1.0 2007 standards. The UX is weak, I'd like it if the links would open to a new tab by default without me needing an extension. Also I know this is a spicy take, but I want a notifications screen. I'll be fine if I don't get push notifications, but I'd like to be told about replies to my comments. It would be cool to have a dashboard like github's where I can get a break down of all the engagement I've been receiving.

Discord is abit much, I think we just need afew new QOL features.

We have designated parking spots for rideshare scooters in London.
Teams is garbage. I'll end up with conversations or images that don't load until I click back and try again. If I search a chat for something, clicking the result will often not scroll the correct message into view. It doesn't allow you to be on a call on multiple devices at once so I can use the desktop I'm remoted into for viewing a screen share while using the app on my phone for audio. It tries to retain the formatting of what you're pasting in, often resulting in a mess and sometimes getting stuck with certain font formatting.

After googling it for 1 second:

Can you share what you use to capture the data (configs) and how you've configured your alerting?
Maybe? But on the whole I tend to be pretty fast, just a bit hyperactive. I suppose I mostly feel as if pair programming would stifle the ability to experiment with every bit of code while I go, and cause me to have to plan everything out in a way that's unnatural to me. Maybe I'm wrong.
When it comes to your kids, everyone should want to set them up for life.

My goal even from a young age before kids was to build generational wealth.

> Pairs tend to devolve to least-common-denominator performance. Experts paired with novices need to move as slow as a novice.

I think this misses a lot of the benefit of pair programming. The person with more experience on the project can point the other person directly to the places where it's natural to implement functionality, instead of the newbie having to scan through potentially the entire project structure so they can orient themselves. An expert can give a novice a heads-up about things they will be asked to change in code review, so they don't make the mistake in a dozen places and have to fix it a dozen times.

Often pair programming happens because there's a mix of expertise -- there's a change that requires both familiarity with the project and a certain kind of technology expertise, so a junior programmer who knows the project pairs with an expert from another team, and the change gets done faster than either one could do it alone.

Pair programming is also a great way to use excess capacity in a dev team. Martin Thompson points out in one of his talks that a system running at full capacity is slow and fragile, so you want your dev teams to work below capacity most of the time. Pair programming is a great way to improve quality and share knowledge, and when you have excess capacity, it's free!
