It's a real danger that we'll have to deal with on a sociological level soon. Atheism is on the rise. I'm not versed in atheism as it occurs in countries other than in the US, but it seems like we'll see new types of problems that are not immediately apparent. That's the double-edged sword of rationalism. Truth and reason above all... But it's vital to remember that we're squishy and mushy and spiritual and emotional beings. It seems like it will be a lot of fun to be involved in media as it comes to deal with that shift more and more. What stories make the most sense, while still holding truth at the center? What do people need?

I'm reminded of the prototypical Alan Watts lectures. He might be out of fashion at the moment, but maybe his work will one day again be a little flicker in the cave for us to reach for, down the line.
> If anything this reinforces the author's point about the dangers of lack of transparency of "digital jail". How do we know that statement is true?

If a crucial part of your argument is the epistemological claim that we obviously can't trust anyone who presents evidence or arguments that we don't like because they could be lying, then there's clearly no way of having a reasoned discussion.
It's very difficult to know which way things will turn. The most likely leader of the CPC supported the protests directly, and I think we will see that hurt them somewhat. The interim leader is a definite liability.

Trudeau is not making friends, but given a lack of strong leadership from any other party, you may not see them able to pull any more support out. The only poll that matters is the election and it's probably fair to say we don't know what will happen.

The protests may be a distant memory by then. And if one of the parties gets a handle on housing prices, that could swing things.
me too, if i don't feel good about working on a thing, i quit

I think it's orthogonal to scale.

Most of the horribly unethical things I've witnessed happened in hyper-local markets.

Ugly corruption is rampant in small or medium businesses that dominate the economic output of isolated and localized geographic regions.

As a distinct but sometimes overlapping phenomenon, "warm fuzzies corruption" is also incredibly common in hyper-localized markets. "Family owned and operated for three generations" is literally a re-framing of "nepotism in the C-suite and boardroom" as a good thing!!! Find me a multi-national that brags about bloodline continuity, please.
I somewhat disagree with the comments saying that GitBom goes against their trademark (it doesn't sound like an affiliated project to git, just that it uses Git. Similar to GitHub). BUT the logo is a complete rip off.
> I think, on balance looking at this, the mistake MVRDV made was going along with a clearly wrong budget - presumably in the hopes that Westminster would sign off on spiralling costs rather than half-arsing it.

From the sounds of it, they both signed off on spiraling costs, and half-arsed it.

Have you sought out the information on whether it is or not, or just decided it wasn't?

Re: violence:

The scariest to me personally was someone attempting to start a fire in a building nearby to the convoy while duct taping the doors shut.[1]

Depending on your threshold for violence, the numbers could vary greatly, from a handful to several hundred.[2][3]

Regarding polling, there were a number of polls showing they didn't have broad support, especially as time went on.[4]

> He's saying that using cash is inconvenient because no-one uses cash where he is.

No, I'm not. I'm saying using cash is inconvenient for me for things like paying my monthly bills because it would require me to physically go to each individual company I pay bills to and pay them in person. Whereas with a credit card I can pay all my monthly bills in a few minutes from my desk at home. Even if my utility company, for example, would accept cash in payment (as they probably would since most companies offering basic services like that are required by law to accept cash), I wouldn't do it because of the huge increase it would be in time and effort every month. I have better things to do with my time than schlep around all over the place to pay bills in person.

> I can't easily pay my mortgage with cash directly either. The point is that it's not an insurmountably difficult thing.

You're shifting your ground. Before you were saying that using cash wasn't inconvenient. Now you're saying it is for some things, like paying your mortgage. Which is exactly my point.
What about all the people who can't command "a high salary, perks, and multiple promotions" who have been forced to be the human front to shitty practices implemented by the people HBR is sympathizing with?

This dude is devastated by lying to a bunch of developers. Has he ever worked a minimum wage job in a call center, being the human punching bag for the company's infuriated customers?

I would be more impressed if HBR talked to people like the redditor who I saw the other day talking about handling repo cases for Rent-A-Center and how much the job wrecked them. The final straw was having to repo a bed from a kid with cancer.
Not true any more - UTM has guest tools, shared folders etc for windows 11.

The previous version of UTM was no good for Windows 11 at least, but the current version installs 11 fine with no need for registry hacks, and everything pretty much works as expected.

> failing to provide proof of vaccination, despite being a 100% remote worker

That seems weird. Are you only incidentally remote, or is your position officially a remote one? As in, if the company reverted "back to normal", would you still be remote without any close interactions with people on behalf of the company? If so, this demanding proof of vaccination doesn't make sense, but if not, then presumably it's hindering their ability to have you come back to the office like they would've wanted outside of the pandemic.
Modals are frustrating, but what I find truly appalling is the Uyghur slave labor that companies like Amazon profit from.
> We don't have limited rights. You need to work on understanding that rights are not granted.

That's a definition you accept, which is not a useful definition to me.

There are rights that are not inherent and sometimes the legal and moral mix. eg I don't have the right to take an organ from a human who has not yet suffered systemic death, unless they have gone through a process that includes giving consent to that process that may allow the organ to end up under my purview AND I accept it.
The whole thing is written in Go on my end. Ingesting new headlines is handled in a goroutine that spawns within the process every 30 mins using a combo of the wonderful gofeed (https://github.com/mmcdole/gofeed) and colly (https://github.com/gocolly/colly) libraries.

When loading the front page, you're loading a 1-minute-cached HTML page of it that was constructed out of headlines already in my PostgreSQL database that were put there by the ingestion goroutine.

I like the idea of word clouds actually, I think you're on to something there. I think you just need to pre-generate them rather than doing it adhoc (if that's what you're doing here) for speed. Additionally, perhaps consider using sentiment in a way that orients stories based on positive and negative sentiment. Right now I am not seeing how I as a visitor/user can act on the sentiment analysis as it is presented now.

It would be neat to see a collection of uplifting stories grouped together through the sentiment analysis.

Anyway, food for thought. I hope you keep hacking away on it as it's just good fun to build things.
ZoneAlarm did this back in the day. I was puzzled even back then about why so many applications wanted to dial out to this address or another. Today it would probably scream non-stop.
sounds like no one has forced you to do anything, sounds like you made a choice. Whether it is ok for them to have criteria around employment based on vaccines is a valid concern, especially for a remote worker, but this isn't about being forced, this is about whether it is ok for them to choose whether to employ/do business with you based on your choices around vaccines. I think if there is any reasonable expectation you'd interact with other people, their clients or other employees, even if irregular, then yeah, it would be reasonable. But if you are 100% remote, with no expectation of interaction with anyone, then it doesn't sound reasonable.
PeaZip is great. I use it regularly to create 7z files. It's like 7zip but with much better UX and overall UI. I wish I knew about it sooner.
Clearly you've never worked a service industry or support job in your life.
> it's fundamentally just handing over a bit of paper.

No, it's handing over bits of paper at the particular physical location of the person or entity you are paying. For some transactions, like paying for your food at a restaurant, that's no problem because you're there anyway. For other transactions, like paying monthly bills, it is a problem.
Can you say more about the hardcoded fix for Sim City? This sounds fascinating.
Horizon Worlds is doomed because it doesn't have any story.

I've been studying theme park design and the thing that sticks out is even things like Space Mountain that are basically a thrill ride can be built to have a story that is really compelling.

VR experiences like that can be really compelling but an imaginary world that is too much like this one is just a snoozer.
But appliances like toasters are "smart" these days, so perhaps it's no longer an apt adjective to use.

Others can correct me, but I don't think that's an example of a dark pattern.

Intrusive, maybe, but a dark pattern is 'deceit by design' whereas what you're describing seems to me 'being slightly annoying by design', which is a totally different thing.

Thinking about Exit Intent and how to optimize for it is a fairly well established part of online eCommerce. I think you made the wrong choice and your boss was probably right to be annoyed with you. It's within their prerogative to decide what user experience they offer to their users. And obviously, it's also yours to quit, but if you do so based on a poor understanding of what a dark pattern is, you're just hindering yourself.
Motivate a team is rather distinct from "say anything to your team to make X work". The former is my job and the latter = nope.
I agree with most of your comment ... but "OS drops 32 bit / x86 support" gets a hard disagree.

Steam provides the game. It "will be around for a long time."

It is not Steams job to ensure the game runs on every device or OS version for eternity however. That is up to the publisher of the game.

If you install Steam on an older version of the OS that does have 32bit/x86 support, Steam does its job.

I do think however that Steam should add clarification to the "game requirements" to specify OS version or hardware however.

Ask HN: Provide a small email account to your users?
I have a "cool" domain name in my niche and I'd like my users to use it as an email address. I was looking for a SaaS or web service (even if I have to pay a monthly fee) that would allow me to provide free email accounts for that domain, including sign up, login and a web browser client.

I remember yearrs ago (more than a decade) than zzn.com offered something liek that, but I couldn't find any modern service. Is there a way? I dont want to create myself the accounts manually.

PS: I know my users wont use this email as their primary email address and I would not recommend it either.
Do you really care how hard your surgeon worked to get there? Or do you care about their core competency?
The relationship of wordle to cheating is underrated. The fact that it’s so astoundingly easy to cheat (the daily word is global), and falsify your game board (just text) makes dishonesty completely undesirable. If you post 1/1, people will assume you hit the once-a-year lucky first guess, or that you’re cheating. There are no high scores, no leaderboards, no reason other than personal satisfaction to work through the puzzle.
Couldn’t FB notifications be blocked before? Which is similar then to saying social timeline vs the game. Not the same, I agree.
> if you sit at your desk all month, never visit a high street, and also can't use a postbox

I never said any of those things. And the idea that schlepping around all over the place to pay monthly bills in person is the best way to get physical exercise is laughable.

> physical interactions are better than this GPT-3 shite

IMO your posts read a lot more like GPT-3 than mine.
And this is the problem that I see as well. One can buy crypto but how do you convert to fiat currency if the government controls all the off ramps? This is the flaw with bitcoin as far as I can tell. Maybe one day someone on the darkweb will start selling goods like an Amazon style store where you can get anything you could on Amazon, like a drop shipping store, sent to your house for bitcoin. If you can link it on the internet you can have an intermediary ship it to you for bitcoin. I think there is a real market for such a store in the future. How the person who is collecting all the bitcoins exchanges their bitcoins to cash I haven't figured that part out yet. Maybe they do it in a country like Venezuela but I am not sure if that is possible.
Aren't they fighting their own platform at this point? Instagram does this already. At this point, Instagram is much more popular than Facebook among teens.
You can do so online (which I do for many monthly bills). But that doesn't really solve any perceived problems about maintaining anonymity associated with making cash payments buth neither does anything going through a bank.
Unless your core emotional desires just happen to flawlessly, without a single exception, line up with a comprehensive and consistent ethical worldview, then at least every once and awhile you’ll not want to do something when you ethically should do it, and want to do something that will cause more than nominal harm to someone else.

Also every now and again you’ll have to realize that your ability to predict the outcome of your actions is imperfect.

If you happen to be like every other person that has ever existed on this planet, possibly excepting Siddhartha Gautama and Jesus H. Christ, you’ll have to sort out the places where your instincts and desires depart from what’s ethical and make value judgments.
Facts are important, and so is language. The RCMP claim they provided a list of "influencers". The problem with that denial is that the set of all people who influenced the protest includes the set of all donors. In other words, it doesn't matter if they didn't share a list of donors if the list they did share includes all of the donors.
I guess, since i never wrote an academic paper, i do not know if it will be up to par with the methodologies, I thought every research kind of needs an advisor to offer direction, otherwise you can get rejected without knowing the reason.
It doesn't need to be anonymous. Even if the state knows your public address, they can't confiscate your funds without you giving away your key. They can try to prevent people from accepting your funds but that's a lot harder to enforce
As I thought about it today, maybe a better example might be the en/exclaves in the India/Bangladesh borderland established after the partition. It looks like these might have been rationalized in the last 10 years.

Inside the main part of Bangladesh, there were 111 Indian enclaves (17,160.63 acres), while inside the main part of India, there were 51 Bangladeshi enclaves (7,110.02 acres). Under the Land Boundary Agreement, the enclave residents could continue to reside at their present location or move to the country of their choice.

I pay with my credit card even for <$1 purchases. It is much more convenient than pulling out a dollar bill and waiting to get change in coins (which I despise carrying).

In the case where they don't accept credit, and I can't be bothered to go make the purchase somewhere else, I'll just tell them to take the dollar bill and keep the change. Not having to deal with loose coins is worth it.

How is carrying, paying with, and managing cash in your wallet more convenient than tapping a credit card or your phone?
That’s precisely what I do for the economist and WSJ.
I'm not really a fan of this pattern in python. As far as I can tell, it's all done in the name of duck typing: if the returned object appears to have the right property, that's good enough. But the problem comes when take that object and pass it on to some other function. It may have appeared like a duck to you, but 10 functions later, it's slightly off and you get a difficult to understand TypeError or AttributeError.

Where I do think this pattern makes sense is in trying to use system resources. Checking that a file exists or a process is alive before deleting or killing it is a recipe for difficult to track down Time of Check to Time of Use bugs. I'm curious if you think this is also an anti-pattern in c++ and if so, how you properly deal with the TOCTU race conditions?
Isn't this just numerical integration, for which there are libraries in many languages?
For anyone interested, they used Scaleform which is a middleware a lot of games would use to have flash-based UI. It's technically a discontinued product but even Hitman 3 last year used it.

As crappy as Flash is for security, it was such a good tool for interactive animations.

Here's a list of games that used Scaleform, though it often isn't used as the only UI system. Sometimes it's just main menus or world-space UI elements. Found in a quick Google so I can't guarantee it's totally accurate, but I know many on here are correct.

Warning Rant

The language in this article is the kind of thing that makes me hate sociology and business literature. They invent jargon to pretend they have 'discovered' something to get published. Because they are not controlled, interventional, reputable scientific disciplines they have to generate their 'discoveries' out of thin air and nonsense.

It's called having a conscience. Why do we need your BS terminology for people acting ethically? Pride, self-respect, decency. The English language is resplendent with words to describe this phenomenon. Keep your moral injury and shove it in your lived experience.

I played pretty high level Scrabble for a few years and most people who connect deeply with Scrabble are programmers, mathematicians, musicians, scientists, accountants, etc. Hardly anybody at the medium-to-high levels of play are word people.

At its core, Scrabble is just a game of probability, memory, spatial awareness, and pattern recognition. The words could be random collections of symbols.
I have a reasonable vocabulary but I just got the word “copra”. I did get it on the sixth try but only after guessing cobra and realizing there were no letters left that produced words I knew. According to Wikipedia “Copra is the dried coconut kernels of which coconut oil is expelled.” It might be a blind spot in my vocabulary but I haven’t had this happen with wordle. The accessible word list could be considered another genius element of its design.
FWIW the only reason GitHub (and a few other things) are allowed to use that kind of name is because they used the name before "git" was trademarked and the policy established.

Why would you ever want to be an employee? Pretty much everything about the American system is setup to shaft them.

The advantage of Andreessen's perspective in that blog series is that he thinks of a career as a portfolio of investments, each of which has their own risks and their own upsides, and each of which may unlock future investments. In my experience this has been a far more effective way to manage your career, simply because everything about present-day America is setup to screw people who take one job and work within its strictures.
How does this guideline apply to, say, Github or Gitlab?
