Can somebody comment on where Hedera Hashgraph fits into all of this? It's supposedly way different than block chain. I have a friend who's invested heavily in it and is trying to convince me to the do the same, but I am skeptical of all things monopoly money related. At least I can hold a USD in my hand if I choose, despite the fact that it's mostly made up too.
That's a little hard to believe, because the prompt makes it very obvious what's happening. If you attempt to open a link and it prompts you to pick a browser, the options are (using my own phone as an example:

Open With

(Samsung Internet) (Chrome) (Firefox) (Firefox Focus)

Just Once | Always

Android already really wants you to click "Always" and just have something set. But I click "Just Once" every time, because I want the freedom to use Firefox Focus for the random clickbait article that shows up in my news feed that I don't want polluting my Firefox history. By its nature, it is already an intentional decision on my part.

This being removed from Android 12 is Google saying, "Yeah, we really don't want you to have that choice anymore, because you might not pick the right choice for us."
Tokyo Skytree was privately funded and I believe Tokyo Tower was as well. Both of them serve the function of increasing sightlines for broadcasting to reduce the number of towers needed throughout the city. This serves as a public good in a city where space is at such a premium. Not to say there wasn't additional expense added into the skytree for the prestige factor, it really didn't need to be that tall.

Uh, yes. The Near East, both before and after the Muslim conquests, was the most culturally, philosophically, artistically, and scientifically advanced region in western Eurasia if not the entire world. Turkey controlled both the overland and maritime trade routes. Given the high odds of ending up a galley slave or worse, there was little cultural exchange between West and East. The Battle of Lepanto smashed Turkish naval dominance and suddenly the West had easy access to trade with the East. The Enlightenment would probably never have happened and certainly not with the rapidity that it did were it not for access to all of that knowledge.
I think the free love thing in the 60s likely exacerbated this by destroying monogamy.
That is absolutely fantastic. Have you thought about putting that somewhere it will rank on Gooogle?
This works until it doesn't. It's all fine and good to talk to someone verbally about big ideas, but don't make work out of it.

Otherwise you wind up with a VP calling you six months later demanding to know why something was done a certain way, it's costing the business a lot of money and all you can say is "I think I was told to do it that way"
DDR4 boards are in the same ballpark as AMD.

You have those two findings from Google and Microsoft that roughly 2/3 of the vulnerabilities that they find in their code are memory related, so it is definitely something that someone finds important. Also, if you have large scale codebase that is serving millions of people, the assurance of less bugs is much better starting proposition than maybe it won't fail.
FWIW, for the people rolling their eyes at the "waste of government time", the actual report is very interesting:

https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/20...

As far as I can tell, the word "terrorism" appears nowhere in the document, though it's possible my pdf search is broken (certainly I didn't notice it in my read of the document). Nor does it really say that it is "growing", though that's a little bit more subjective (it talks about the rise of online misogyny, but doesn't directly tie that to violence, per se). That seems to be all created by the news website.

Instead, the point of the doc is to say "here are signs that were missed in this particular case, and you should consider keeping an eye out for them".

Those signs, for what it's worth, do not seem particularly subtle:

- the killer's parents were so concerned about him that they slept with their door locked

- he was fired from multiple jobs for inappropriate touching

- (dishonorably) honorably discharged from the military for inappropriate behavior

- sentenced to court ordered counseling on four different occasions for interactions with women

- a friend's wife reported him to law enforcement with concerns that he might be violent

I could go on and on - this is not some poor, sex-deprived misfit who just couldn't hack it in the cutthroat world of modern dating - it's someone with deep mental illness who happened to turn it towards women, maybe because he was bullied (or maybe that was his post-rationalization).

The real lesson here, as far as I can tell, is that we need to destigmatize mental illness, we need to encourage parents to get their kids mental help, and we need to shift law enforcement from a reactionary system to a preventative system.

Unfortunately, the other thing that would have been really helpful here would be to have one central dossier on this individual that encompassed all of their different negative interactions with law enforcement, their military discharge, etc. - but that very quickly gets into a level of big brother that I am uncomfortable with.

EDIT: I put dishonorably discharged when I should have put honorably - fixed.
My first thought when I saw the example designs was Geocities; my second was Myspace.

Beyond design trends and generational preferences, the purpose of the app in question matters. A video speed dating app should probably have a more fun atmosphere than Hacker News, Wikipedia, or the Wifi settings panel.

It's patently obvious there are fixed costs to a large building. Here are some fixed costs of the one I mentioned explicitly laid out:

> The Kennedy Center spends about $40 million annually to repair, renovate, operate, and maintain its buildings; these expenses are paid through federal funding.

It's clear you don't understand the economics as well as you think you do, so please don't condescend.

I'm guessing this time was when you were ages 15-25 or thereabouts?

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.

Dammit, you got me. I was thinking of that age range exactly, and I'm always a sucker for a simpsons quote.

Though it is undeniable that "web masters" in the mid to late 90s were more willing to try wacky things, even on corporate or political types of sites. There weren't frameworks to keep things reigned in, and it was rarely a full time job, so the fact that it worked at all was enough for most people.
Well, I'm probably developing more and more into a grumpy mid-30s guy, but I'm just annoyed by all of this.

Just let me use the browser I want and don't fuck around like this. Just let me have things the way I want, I will even accept that I have to fiddle with obscure settings and whatnot, but at least give me the option to have things the way I like them and give me the feeling that I have control over at least _something_.

I have the feeling with every tech news, there's immediately something like "but you can only do it in that way because the developer/producer does not want you to do it another way".

Don't know if I can keep up with all of this.

HN is about interesting stuff.

Rust is VERY interesting: Novel memory management, low-level, great tooling, can ACTUALLY compete against C/C++ across the board, have a lot of modern stuff: ML heritage, functional idioms (but you can do imperative code, not worry!), const/immutability promoted, NOT NULL thank you very much!, UTF-8 string "oh amazing", a lot of edge cases accounted for...

And, with interesting tools you get people, interested, in build things. And things that before, you can't do without get the complain "but C".

Now, there is NOT excuse to get into the bandwagon of Fast, Safe, yet ergonomic.

And when something like this happens, it invigorate the "market" and other will try taking advantage of what this do good and what it not much (so, I see zig, Nim, odin, catapulted because Rust/Go/Elixir make people talk about programming languages)

Inexploitability is not efficiency. Back in the 2000s, plenty of financiers knew the subprime market was overpricing assets for years before anyone figured out how to profitably short the market.

Hard to deflate asset-price bubbles are a fact of finance.

I agree with your last sentence, but the reason why malicious actors who kill fewer than drug overdoses deserve considerable concern is bc at most one person will die if you take too much tylenol. The number of casualties is linear in the number of actors.

Processes of violence have much higher variance in terms of the number of casualties, and the consequences of networks of actors even moreso, because, tragically, the events are not wholly independent and there can be multiplicative effects if one copies another, if a community that leads people toward committing acts of violence forms, etc.

I agree we should remain vigilant about encroachment upon our civil rights, who is being accused of 'future crimes' ex ante, etc., but to treat each as the same kind of statistical outcome-generating process is not the most useful mental model imo.
Not to mention Juan Antonio Samaranch, who ran the IOC from 1980 to 2001, was a Franco crony.
The differences between the 5600 and 5500 are interesting. The $199 5600 has 6 cores, 32MB of L3, no GPU, and uses the chiplet packaging. The $159 5500 has 6 cores, 16MB of L3, a disabled/fused off GPU, and is one larger, monolithic die.

I thought the chiplet packaging was supposed to result in lower costs due to better yields on smaller dies? I guess the extra cache takes up more than enough die space to make up for that?
Hey look, I got a funnel.

I looked into Fairphone, but their current offering — Fairphone 4 — seems to have persistent issues with the camera quality, and no official LineageOS build either.

It really bums me out. I need a smartphone that will run Android apps, because the duopoly is not going anywhere and governments and banks are pushing hard to use theirs, but also because there is no way around WhatsApp here in the Netherlands if I want to give my young son a chance at going to play dates and stuff.¹ I also like Fairphone's more ethical hardware side, but their offering just falls short a bit at the moment. Am I missing something here?

1: Personally, I'm fine without apps, and would much prefer to have a phone that does what Linux does for me on the desktop, but I'm not an island.

I suggest checking out the Mr Money Mustache forums. Specifically the Case Study forum. I was in a similar place to you (though with less children), and it took about two years of changes but I now save about 70% of my salary. It has been empowering. It came from a lot of small changes (tips) that rolled to become a mindset change. The Mr Money Mustache forums are focused on retiring early but I prefer to focus on the Financial Independence. I initially thought I would sacrifice happiness, oddly I found the opposite. However everyone is different and I wasn't married when I started, which makes lifestyle changes easier.
Team sports generally support larger numbers of professionals. In part because viewers are simply watching more people at the same time, but also because teams need redundancy.

The author is close to an epiphany, but I feel doesn't quite reach it.

Yes, the last few years has seen iOS design trends to learn towards sterile apps where there is little uniqueness across apps.

This is good for novice users, the consistency makes it easier to onboard into a new app. The downside however is that many apps feel the same and have little differentiation.

The solution is to invest in UX and design to find ways to give your app a personality while keeping with the visual affordances users have learned. The solution is most certainly not to add sparkles and off angle text boxes.
Haha thanks, in the first month Ben wasn't quite happy with that and wanted us to call them virtual servers, but I overruled him ^_^
Not that this is a solution for you now, but about 10-15 years ago there were a whole slew of SMS services which were super useful for those without data.

Google 311 (EDIT: actually it was Google 411) let you conduct full searches, local listings, full text turn-by-turn navigation, weather, movie listings etc. You could also call a number and do an voice search that would text you back the results.

Twitter, AIM, Facebook all had SMS based interfaces as well. I remember a privately run system which served up transit schedules.

Was amazing to younger me to be on a bus and able to continue my AIM chats and check the bus schedule without a data plan. You could get useful services sent to your phone and not get sucked in endless feed scrolling.
Mario Kart on Wii was released in 2008, when the oldest of Gen-Z would have been 11 years old. I'm pretty sure that's too young to be setting design trends.
It worked as long as nobody was trying to go after it. That's been changing and as we've seen the parties involved have plenty of real-world presence which various authorities have been able to take advantage of. This is why the absolute claims about “free speech” are simply reflecting a deeper misunderstanding: it's true that nobody can stop you from making a Bitcoin transaction unless they block the protocol entirely but the retroactive consequences deter people quite effectively, very similarly to how to even very authoritarian states can't prevent you from saying something in public but can very effectively make it too risky for most people to do.

> Free speech laws work even if Facebook deletes your post, or you a fired, or sometimes someone doesn't appeal their conviction. Your argument about "miners, developers or exchange operators" existing is not any more valid than this one is.

Free speech laws generally don't apply to private companies like Facebook, who are generally given a high level discretion for how they choose to run their communities. The same is true of a blockchain network: the implementers and operators set the policies and since these systems are based on money that generally means that you're getting the rules which the major players either want or are required to implement by the governments with jurisdiction over them. That last part is key to understand: maybe a protocol allows you to make a transaction somewhere but the cost/risk shifts considerably if the recipient knows that they won't be able to use it in most places and every potential buyer can easily tell that it's on a list of tainted tokens.
Again, the poisoned society that produces this is the root problem.
The "Gen-Z" look feels wrong. But if you step back a little bit, all the "flat design" trends of 2011 also felt wrong in the exact same way. "You mean that after all the advances in computer graphics we're going to just go back to text on top of a rectangle like Windows 3.1?" A lot of people forget this since flat design is just how everything is done nowadays.

I think his criticism of that approach is that you end up with a bunch of index.tsx tabs open in your IDE and it can be hard to tell what is what.

My approach is similar to his, but is simplified to have one index at the top of the components folder for all the components:

components
index.tsx <- wrapper exports all components
mywidget.tsx
myotherwidget.tsx
mycomplexwidget
mycomplexwidget.tsx
subpart.tsx

Then import is easy, and feels less redundant

import { mywidget, mycomplexwidget } from '@foo/components'
Really trying to keep this in mind lately. The code is the easy part.
It's best thought of as the city providing a huge subsidy to lure the team (or keep the team from leaving). In this vein it's akin to the tax credits and other kickbacks that companies like Microsoft or Ford get when they move to "lower tier" cities.

The exact nature of the transaction is different, but the net result is that it's part of the "package" that cities use to lure in a sports team in the same way they lure in businesses.

I'd never argue for my tax money being spent on such frivolous things, but if you think about this from an "up and coming" city perspective - especially in a place where professional sports are popular with the locals - you can understand why they might be willing to accept a loss leader on the hopes of some kind of nebulous "real city" cred that comes with having a team in town.

Most companies suck at security. Most users suck at security. Convenience > Security. It is sad that SMS as 2FA account recovery actually adds an attack vector. It is less bad as an out-of-band check if you have a password authentication from a known and finger printed computer.
pretty much on all borders, sadly it's not shared by most of the (world) population and politicians can always find idiots willing to fight to change those lines on map

I can't imagine myself fighting some politician's war, only thing I care about it's my own family and I couldn't care less what is the name of the country I am residing and whether it's gonna change if it won't really affect my day to day life.

I mean if richer more advanced country is going to conquer my country I am certainly not going to fight it as it's the case of poor Ukraine being attacked by slightly less poor Russia, now if Russia went to attack more developed western countries it would make sense to protect our way of life to not lower our living standards, but I still don't like the idea of wasting human lives over politicians. Every politician willing to go to war should be executed.

You see occasional stories about a moose getting drunk and stuck in a tree on fermenting apples.

Cooking 2-3 times a week should be enough to make food for the whole week

Your example brings to mind one of the many reasons why I oppose the funding of stadiums: it is about passive entertainment rather than active participation. Much the same can be said of opera houses. If the objective is to promote the arts, then direct funding to get people involved in the arts. If you want to promote sports, then direct funding to get people involved in sports. While I appreciate that the interest of some is sustained by watching the best in the field, the sad reality is that most people will be unable to partake unless it is made accessible to them. That means focusing money upon the stage and the field, not the stands.
I went few times to the Kennedy Center, and as a 35-year-old software engineer, I was not a token spectator. They were people of all walks of life watching Ballet, Opera, and Symphonic Orchestra.
