Why is this comment the top comment when it's a bunch of conjectures, scare mongering tactics and half-truths at best? Sure if you're on tor and no one else around you is then you stand out, so what? Now there is a faint signal that there is something suspicious going on. To assume one could with sufficient accuracy narrow down a target based on a weak signal like that to see what they're up to is like assuming we're going to general AI any day now because obviously imageNet is so good. Let's not allow the creation of an echo chamber to add confusion to the great work people at the Tor project are doing and to instill even more fear in those who may want to dissent against authoritarian forces.

My personal opinion is that the eye development is an adaptive process. During the eye development, the body has a feedback system that make sure the eyeball size matches the lens focusing capability so that the eye can focus to infinity. However, nothing can tell the feedback process what infinity is, thus I guess, the eye will assuming the most commonly archived far side focusing condition is the "infinity". Well, in modern days, people spend so much time in door and in front of computers, the body believe that is likely the infinity focusing condition, and thus the feedback system grow the eyeball bigger to make that the "infinity focusing" condition.

Obviously, this is a personal opinion, there is no science to back it up.
I think it was a joke about the author's writing style.
Superhero movies aren't even cheap, is the sad thing. Dune cost less than Black Widow to make, and that's a fairly wide-scope space opera with lots of practical effects making up large amounts of the movie.
Awesome writeup thanks. That said, anonymity might literally be binary as you point out so eloquently, but the point of the article is that most people only need to think about it as a spectrum and be somewhere on it to be safe. Most people aren't running OmegaBay and need 14 burners handy and always be on the move. Boy would that be tough on one's social life. That said, a little bit of care and attention to the everyday shit we leave out there is a good idea. Bad actors will likely go to the lowest hanging fruit.
Many very large software companies are making handsome profits. We will probably see changes in software employment if that fact changes.
Not really. I had glasses long before smartphones and before I had a computer.

See, this is the problem with validating with anecdotes. For one for, five can be immediately found against.
That raises the important point that the article didn't really put any effort into distinguishing.

Theres clearly "developmental" and "inherent", eye issues. My partner has a thorny case of astigmatism, you don't just develop a structural defect in the eye like that from environmental inputs, so its an established situation that some percentage of human eyeballs turn out different, it would be naive to think at least some percentage of long and short sightedness didn't also occur in this way.

But once again I'm a computer person not a medical researcher so I could be wrong and it might be well established fact that astigmatism is the only inherent defect you're born with.
It seems like the entire economy is like one great big software project, running late, and adding as many people as possible. What did Fred Brooks say about this?

I think it will end when the rest of us can't produce enough to keep the programmers fed.
There's a common misconception that using computers is the cause of hyper/myopia. The truth is that during the early years of development(up until 15-21 years old), the eye is not yet fully developed and it has great adaptability. This means that, if you are a kid and you read too much(on paper or computers or smartphones), the eye will develop to focus mainly on short distances, this developing myopia. This is the reason why kids textbooks have big letters, so that kids don't have to focus so much to read the text, and why kids using computers/reading too much(specially smartphone usage) is detrimental to their visual health. If you did this on your early ages, that certainly explains your issue, but it's not computers per se that cause it.

The other big factor is the shape of the ocular globe. Some globes are "longer" than others, which causes the image focused by the cornea and retina to land in front or behind of the retina, causing the hyper/myopia.

What you do actually experience a lot when using the computer too much is that when you focus on a task for a long time, your blink rate decreases, the tear film breaks more often, and you get sore eyes/eye fatigue. This is solved by regular breaks, or the 20/20/20 rule[0].

If I remember right tape Title (BBoobb MMaarrlleeyy && TThhee WWaaiilleerrss ) was in larger font and bold and so was tape "side marker" (AA::). Let's say it was like Arial 24pt bold, and song titles were like 10pt normal. But overall layout is perfect. Who knows maybe someday I'll find a tape in those boxes...
It’s unclear to me why that transition would mean that writers/directors/storytellers would win. Lower costs make creative risks more viable?
You should know what each recipient asked you to send to them. If not, you’re going to have valid spam complaints.
All it takes is two things:

1. The investor bubble to bust - and I think this will happen due to the soon to be rising interest rates making capital much more difficult too secure.

2. One of the big employers dumps devs into the market - say one of the FAANG companies has a sever downturn and lays of thousands of devs. Don't think it can happen - Facebook and Google are just a few regulations away from mass lay offs and downsizing.
You can use CTPH algorithms to fingerprint the function, so you'd need an extension that fingerprints each function before the browser runs it. Or you could man-in-the-middle yourself and patch the malicious code before it gets to your browser.

Better still would be to fingerprint the syntax tree, so obfuscators need to change more than just the names of things (Unison does this, Javascript would probably be less friendly).

I'd love an app where I could crowd-fund the inevitable game of cat/mouse that would ensue. Like maybe I put $5 in at the beginning of each month and as I browse I curate a list of sites that I'd like tampered with. Better developers than I could then publish patches for the malicious functions, which are applied as I browse. At the end of the month, my $5 gets distributed to the people who fixed the parts of the web that I browsed that month.

I'm working on a tool that facilitates collaboration on CTPH-identified blobs of data, but it's more of a `curl shadysite.com | mytool` kind of thing. I'm not sure what would go into integrating it into a browser.
This is mostly bollocks.

Sure modern technologies is a big reason, but another reason is people caring about eyesight now.

Before, if you had a bad eyesight, you just thought "life...!" and lived with it.

The old world was segregated into a very very tiny upper class and the rest. When people from the latter part had diminished eyesight, they didn't bother. They thought that it was natural.

Now, with so many people in the middle class who need good eyesight to browse Facebook, read books, or do a job, glasses are needed.
They can still cross-track based on IP or any other fingerprint worthy information. I expect this is exactly what they're doing. Doing this all on a central service makes this process much easier unfortunately...
Now add in the fact that wearing minus lenses for close works restarts this process of hormesis, and you begin to realize that the entire optical industry ends up worsening a problem that they conveniently offer a "solution" to. Any minus lenses you purchase need to come with a big warning that they should not be used for distances closer than the focal plane.
So someone who only knows how to play chess would be considered a participant? Maybe this is what the author intended, I don't know. However, I find this definition of "participant" strange, because it allows us to truthfully say that someone is a participant, even though they don't play chess (they know the rules, but don't play).

The Dignity of the Body: Why Medical Rights Are Fundamental Now More Than Ever
We have been living at the sufferance of zero interest rate policies for the last dozen years. It's hard to say what happens when the music starts slowing down.

It just sounds like an extremely hubristic statement, mocking the very fates themselves, to claim that unlimited economic growth will continue indefinitely, that this era of cheap capital will continue indefinitely, and there wouldn't even be one economic downturn or hiccup to disrupt the gravy train. This is the stuff that "things that aged poorly" is made of. Optimism is one thing; irrational exuberance is another. I would rather not laugh in the face of whatever the Fed is planning to do about inflation.

Hell, this was published just hours ago.

I am looking for interesting "book recommendations" particularly.

Someone told me that they were afraid to share their vulnerabilities with me because they feared I might not be comforting or even give them more anxiety.

I have looked up to HN for wisdom over the years and hopefully this ask piques enough interest.
Maybe because this is text you are failing to properly interpret my words.

-The post you replied to did not contain the word racism

-The post was calling into question the exclusion of certain classes of humanoids from the framework of rights agreed on at birth of US

-No commenter said the words "you are racist"

-You failed to offer why the exclusion of black or female people is just

In “Notes on the State of Virginia,” Jefferson wrote, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever…” He believed that to keep slaves in bondage, with part of America in favor of abolition and part of America in favor of perpetuating slavery, would result in civil war. Jefferson’s prediction was correct: in 1861, the contest over slavery sparked a bloody civil war and the creation of two nations — Union and Confederacy — in the place of one.

> The current optimism about remote work is overly exuberant, and many people will be disappointed about the pullback of remote work over the next few years.

Mostly anecdotal evidence follows.

At my company,

- Most teams have two or more remote ICs

- A large percentage of teams have the majority of their ICs in a different location than their manager.

- A large percentage of ICs are now no longer near an office (or in the same state as an office)

- Offices are still ghost towns

They're not going to pull a magic wand and make all of us go back. Cat's out of the bag. They couldn't afford to fire these folks, either.

> Also, people are dreaming if they think Silicon Valley companies will continue to pay Silicon Valley salaries to workers in other locations, even if remote work continues to be broadly accepted.

I've received near-SF wages in Atlanta for eight years. Before the market pullback, my total comp was $500k a year. It's still ridiculously good.

> Furthermore, India and much of Europe (especially eastern Europe) are definitely not friendly time zones for collaboration with colleagues in North America.

We're building out offices there.

I've had meetings with Europe, Australia, and Japan this year. A first.

If your company won't, new capital funding new startups will take advantage of those workers and bring them into the fold.
Die Hard is my family's Christmas movie. Even now I live in Australia, and the weather outside is not frightful at Christmas.
I don't know where you guys work but I have worked in very big co with meeting attended by entire organization > 50 and much more. Google Meeting, in chrome, worked just fine. I am not sure about other browsers. But I prefer chrome to having to install a client. Also, I find Google Meeting interface much cleaner and easy to use than Zoom. In addition, you can record meetings; they are stored in GDrive and you can share them. Plus, you get captions and transcriptions. All in all, is a much superior product.
It's just historical, UUNet and Sprint and AOL were all out there in the early days. Lot of people around that know how to build a good data center.

>Anonymity is not on a spectrum

Is it not, for the non-criminal user? My HN, Reddit and Twitter accounts are "anonymous" (pseudonymous would be more accurate), and it matters to me to the extent I share thoughts I would not on Facebook or if Googling my name lead straight to it - not that I'm ashamed of them, I try to be decent (tho I slip at times and am more brash than I would IRL), it's just that they hold some personal opinions and matters, kind of like that lady in OP's post (except I wouldn't reuse pseudonyms, especially not openly cross-linked to identified accounts). Obviously, a governmental agency that had any reason to look for me would link them in the blink of an eye, but it is "anonymous" enough for my needs: people who matter to me or people like prospective employers do not know of them and hardly could. Even if they leaked to some dark corners of the Internet like my SSN (screw you, Equifax), that hardly doxes me as far as regular humans are concerned. If someone emailed me with my online usernames, it would creep the fuck out of me, but ultimately be inconsequential, at worse it would threaten to shame me for my opinions.

So how's that not on a spectrum of anonymity? OP's post obviously does not say your anonymity when it comes to three letter US agencies is on a spectrum, that is black and white and s-he recognizes it, but rather the link-ability of your online presence(s) to your real life identity. With that Tinder lady at the "IDGAF"-end of it, your paranoid (or criminal) Jane Doe on the other end and me somewhere in between (but much closer to the former).
Frankly, that's a win IMHO
Ask HN: How do you document your microservices?
One thing that I always wondered about the many companies moving to microservices is how they keep track of all the services that are created and how they all relate. Is it a manual process or automated in some way? Or is it a "probably accurate" diagram that gets up dated when remembered about?

GPUs will surpass 2010's Pixar. This, coupled with real time motion capture and photogrammetry, will enable more creativity than ever before from more people than have ever been involved. A democratization that even Disney won't be able to counter.

But to directly answer your question, the process of writing moves off the text editor and directly into the production fold. Changes can be made dynamically or even in post. We'll see tools for graphical story arcs, character development radar charts, backstories, and more as these things all morph into real time activities.
This is all valid. But like I said, it was always about social and PR pressure (edit with reputable sites). (I was mistaken earlier when I thought it also had the force of law behind it.) That still has some, depreciating, value. To repeat my question, what else is there?
This tracks for me. As a kid I spent lots of time randomly staring up close at the smallest of details I could, deliberately shifting my focus and gaze on magic eye books, and frequently staring far off into the distance to see how far away I could still make out things like individual leaves on trees. I'd even do it indoors, curious to see how dirty/clear/distorting the window glass was, or see how far across the room I could make out details like felt tufting or smaller brickwork or mortar texturing.

If I'm honest I still do most of this from time to time, just less magic eye books and a lot less impulsively thanks to years of learning to keep my ADHD under control, oh and drugs help too.

This sort of fits into what I said here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30412140 talking about ADHD. The adaptive process of someone who is more neurotypical will not include a heavy dose of random distracted looking around the room. ADHD may skew the scale on the feedback process by adding in a lot more further focusing events. Even randomly focusing across a classroom is probably beneficial.

You sound a bit bitter?

You should re-read the comment you replied to carefully. PragmaticPulp doesn't imply that everyone on a PiP is bad a person and should feel bad.

For PragmaticPulp's argument it is more than enough that people on the job market skew towards being worse employees. Similarly, people on a PiP skew towards being lower achievers.

> IMO, you and every salaried engineer are someone who's willing to settle for donating 90% of the profits from their labor to shareholders in exchange for a little bit of comfort and an illusion of safety.

Where do you get the 90% figure from?

In general, it's really, really easy to start a company that makes use of programmer labour. Barriers to entry in the buy-side of the market for programmers are low. Especially with the more globalised labour market we got out of the pandemic.

So colour me suspicious of the notion that it's trivial to 'exploit' programmers and steal their lunch like you suggest.

Keep in mind that that most software projects in most companies are delayed or fail outright.
> Imagine if a lemon law penalized schools for rotten educations

California has that, originally as part of the high-stakes testing with consequences regime incentivized by NCLB. It means poor districts with the kinds of populations that do poorly, especially if they also are in communities that experience particularly adverse local economic conditions resulting in a negative socioeconomic shift, fail, get punished, and ultimately get deprive of local control.

Doesn't improve education, but it does mean that disadvantaged communities in crisis also get treated as second class citizens that can't be trusted with their own government.

Education “accountability” policy in the US, both actual and the suggestions made by policy entrepreneurs, shows a distinct lack of appreciation for the concept of establishing what outcomes are legitimately in control of those being held “accountable” before holding them accountable.
Reading the comment carefully, they seem to suggest a heavy use of culling. But I'd also be interested in what other steps work and don't work.
> The OP’s point was clearly (to me) that genetic diseases like this should be eliminated at the embryo stage.

That’s not clear. In the past Tay-Sachs was prevented mostly by pre-marriage genetic counseling.
Don't think we can assume complete understanding of the human brain is a strict dependency.

The first AGI might look and function nothing like a biological brain, perhaps not even inspired from biological brains, or very loosely.
