This is known as the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you have the space is not sufficient reason to use it.

I agree though, being in-person can be incredibly useful, but it very much depends on the team, the type of work, etc. It's also just nice to see people in a less structured manner - e.g., water cooler chats vs setting up a Teams call.
I still wouldn't call death desirable outcome but having kids did start putting many things into perspective. Admittedly there's a certain comfort I take in knowing that a part of me will continue to exist here. Even if the generations that come afterwards have no memory of me as a person.
Apple TV seems to do this well. Too many choices appears to be just as bad as no choices. I don’t go to Netflix because there’s just too much. It literally makes my anxiety rise just being in there.

I think this misses the point of the essay completely. Hoping for life extension like that is simply a form of procrastination. What is it you hope to do better if only you could have more time? The hourglass has already been turn over, what are you going to do before the sand runs out? Go!
And any other technology is not the ultimate selfish pursuit? The reason we have nice electricity, cities, running water is purely so we can live in more comfort. This is just as, if not more, selfish as wanting a longer healthy lifespan.

Many years ago, only the wavelength of a laser could be measured and the frequency was indeed computed using the speed of light.

Nevertheless, there is almost a half of century since it began to be possible to measure directly the frequency of lasers.

Nowadays, the frequency of the lasers is what is known, by measurement, and their wavelength is computed using the speed of light.

Before the speed of light became a conventional constant, there was a wavelength that determined the unit of length and a frequency that determined the unit of time.

At that time, measuring the speed of light was done by measuring both the wavelength and the frequency of a laser, as ratios to the standard of wavelength and to the standard of frequency.

Now, when the speed of light is a conventional constant, what the experiment described by you did, is measuring the length of a ruler using a laser of known frequency, and verifying that the measured length is the same as the length marked on the ruler.

The measurement of the frequency of lasers is done using a special kind of laser, which produces pulses of light, not continuous light, and which can be tuned so that there is a precise ratio between the frequency of the light and the repetition frequency of the pulses. (This kind of lasers are called by the not very explicit name "optical frequency combs")

The repetition frequency of the pulses is in the MHz to GHz range, so it can be compared with the frequency of other oscillators using electronic counters.

The frequency of the light can be compared with the frequency of other light sources using various optical interference methods (taking advantage of the fact that periodic pulses of light have a specter with a very large number of equidistant spectral lines, some of which will be close in frequency to the frequency that must be measured). So in the end, the ratio between the frequency of any low-frequency oscillator and the frequency of any light source can be determined.
For those who are thinking, "why do we need Net Neutrality? When have you actually seen an example of providers throttling content?" - there's a pretty egregious one that's been present for years now.

For those with American mobile phone plans, switch over to LTE or 5G, and run two "speed tests": One on Ookla Speedtest[0], and one on Netflix's fast.com[1]. If you don't have the top-tier plan on T-Mobile or AT&T, or have the $10/line "Premium Streaming" addon on Verizon (which pushes, but doesn't remove, the throttle), your speeds on Speedtest should appear quite a bit faster than on Netflix.

If you're seeing very low speeds on both tests, there's more likely something else at play (wireless interference, circuit congestion, poor signal, etc).

California's Net Neutrality law specifically outlaws this practice, and this is one of the big reasons carriers are upset about it. I'd recommend reading the text [2] of the law - it's fairly short and easy to understand, with definitions provided.

I think this is a two-party problem? Due to the polarity, people (as a mob) are 'forced' to back their party regardless of how scummy the affiliated actors act. Your regret means nothing because you probably still won't vote for another party and they already have as much of your money as you are willing to give. They can continue to harvest funds with these dark patterns with no cost - and they will find some whales who strongly respond to the marketing no matter the spam.

The Trump campaign has had some remarkable temerity in this field:

>GROSS: So let me stop you. So in order to not make monthly donations, you had to notice that there was a pre-checked box saying you were making monthly donations. And you had to uncheck that box. You had to take action (laughter) if you didn't want to make monthly donations?

>GOLDMACHER: Exactly. That's what they did earlier in the campaign. And then they made the box more complicated. They added a second box to take out a bonus donation a few days later. And they added all kinds of extraneous text in each of these boxes. And so by the end of the race, the disclosure that this box that was pre-checked would withdraw a monthly donation was buried beneath seven lines of other text that had nothing to do with the fact that it was going to take this money out every month, and seven lines of text saying there's going to be a second donation. So if you sign up to give $25, you gave that day, they took out another $25 a few days later. And then it took out $25 every month. And then this is what they did at the end of the race which caused such a spike in refund requests. They didn't take the money out every month, they started taking it out every week. And so while somebody might miss that their donation happened a second time the next month or they take a couple of months on their credit card to miss, you don't usually miss that suddenly, your credit card has four contributions in a single month when you intended to only make one. And so what happened in the reporting that I did was that there was a huge surge of complaints to credit card companies of fraud, saying, this is wrong. I didn't sign up for these kinds of donations.

Not if they had already captured the market on the Mac OS X-only side and were expanding outwards.

Remember, this was the mid 2000s, when Apple had already released Safari for Windows, in addition to iTunes for Windows (which they had announced during a keynote with the quip "Hell just froze over"). A lot of things were possible, and the future was looking bright again for Apple.

Microsoft also had just released Vista, which was flopping. Microsoft had been abusive for years to honest competitors and the open-source world, and was still spreading FUD about Linux. So there was some hope (and a strong wish) among Apple devotees that Apple could and would finally make inroads into historically Microsoft-held ground.

We had no idea what was ahead with the introduction of smart phones and cloud-based infrastructure/computing.

Real forums operate in different way which pushes discussions in a different way

Your definition is so general that majority of things could be considered as a forum, yet it aint, thus this definition is not so useful

The biggest difference is that once something drops from front page on hn, then discussio s is dead unlike on forums where you can send thread to the top
IIRC the archive.* have a philosophical difference about DNS or SSL or some such and thus things come up as broken due to intention configuration choices. I'll bet they actually work if you keep clicking..
> You can't really do much better than a private car.

I once read an analysis linked on HN, claiming that cars are only a personal net benefit if you're rich enough to pay for someone to drive you around, or live in a city that's not yet developed in a car-accommodating way and has low car ownership rates, and that the last personal transportation development that was actually a strong net benefit was the bicycle.

This is because car-centric city design pushes everything much farther apart (big front lawns so your house isn't too close to the nasty street; huge setbacks next to highways [look how damn wide those are next time you're on one!], the highways themselves, enormous interchanges, "green spaces" that aren't intended for people to be in but just to provide a buffer between people and roads, gigantic parking lots, et c), plus cars are expensive, so by the time you factor in the extra travel distance due to cars being widespread and the amount of time you spend working just to pay for your car (and gas, and maintenance, and a place to keep it) most people are losing time, when the whole point was to travel faster.

I thought that had to be overstating it. So I ran the numbers for myself. With conservative estimates for how much closer my house would be to the city if you took out all the car-created distance, with my own spending on cars being rather low, with my commute to the city center not being that long (20-25 minutes each way), and with my income being nearly double the household median income in my city (so I need fewer hours working to pay for my car)—well, I'll be damned, I would save a little time in a hypothetical city that wasn't designed around cars, but instead around bicycles and walking. Which means cars are a slam-dunk loss for most people, if my numbers came out that way—they only seem like they're saving you time if your city has already been messed up by car-centric design.

Avoiding death is impossible like you say. In many, many, many years the universe will be nothing but black holes without any way to harvest any energy. It will be impossible for a human to live then. But conquering aging? There is not a doubt in my mind that this is possible.
There's also a direct threat to the jobs of a lot of middle managers from telework. The company's upper level management may realize a lot of these high salary managers are not necessary or that they obviously aren't doing their jobs well since the same value gets created with people out of the office.

The push to get butts back in seats is 100% about job security for middle management and maintaining the value of commercial real estate. I've seen evidence of CRE leaning on the media and politicians to push a "return to work" narrative.

Netflix used to offer movies that were previously shown in theaters. You could get a DVD in the mail, and watch a movie you hadn't seen otherwise. When streaming became a thing years later, you could again watch a movie you hadn't seen otherwise.

We used to watch five to ten movies a month via Netflix. We haven't used it in two or three years now.

I agree, very rarely do I actually need to know so-called “news” when you turn off the TV, the sky is no longer falling and the world is (mostly) fine.

Everyone has a bias and skews stories, also, creating fear probably increases viewership. If the media always said everything is fine, less people would watch IMO.
I think it's a case of a company doing what it thinks is in its best interests.

"Thinks" being the key word. Although I would posit that anybody who think this way hasn't thought about it very hard. I mean, it's trivially obvious that a worker can be in the office, and still contribute absolutely nothing. You can sit at the office, or at home, or in Tahiti, and surf Hacker News all day just the same. At the end of it all, companies that don't know how to measure the productivity of their people, and make any necessary adjustments based on those measurements, are going to get screwed.

This is equivalent to basic HTTP authentication. If used over TLS it's safe-ish: The real issues arise from servers logging HTTP requests/headers and whatnot in plaintext. The two benefits of using a session over the raw password are that:

1) sessions are typically scoped in time, and

2) if the session is revealed, it can't be used for credential stuffing (using the same credentials on a different website to see if the password was used there too.)

Resolution on its own does not mean much. To me all that matters if it is visually ok.
I honestly think there are a lot of people that need some level of human interaction to function properly, and those are likely the people pushing for hybrid or back to office. Keep in mind, also, that not everyone's work from home situation is ideal. If you are already an established professional, and you have more than one room to create an office, then work from home is a dream come true. If you are a new hire, or student intern, sharing an apartment (even a crappy one) and your single bedroom is now your office, then work from home can feel a little like a prison sentence. But yes, likely hybrid work is a ruse, but also I wouldn't be surprised if work from home is also a ruse--imagine a scenario like this: "since your home is your office, we are going to need to monitor you on off hours and we'd also like you to start doing more overtime".
Of course they want a new, younger audience.

Because in order to be 64, you first have to be 63. It's not like you wake up one day and say, "Well, looks like I have to watch news all the time". These habits accrue over time.

Especially as you get older and you get more involved and have less to do.

Since Netflix is sticking with the binge-watch release model they pioneered, I wish they would provide a 1 or 2 week-long "binge" one-time payment option. They could charge as much as for a month's subscription, but you wouldn't have to deal with canceling your subscription when you're done watching the 2 or 3 shows you actually signed up to watch. $20 for a limited time, no hassle binge is a pretty good deal; it's cheaper than buying a single movie on Prime Video and much cheaper than buying movie tickets for me and my partner.

As someone from India, this is far more acceptable than the alternative. Folks around my age just got married before or during the pandemic and as most of us had moved back home (people travel to Bangalore to work although there are decent options in other places). However the strife that I see on a regular basis between my wife and my mother is itself enough to want me to leave and just get back to work. Add a kid to this and it is just a circus at home. I’m sure although I’ll spend a lot on relocating, it is worth it for the simple reason that it is lesser mental tension to keep people away from each other.

I strongly disagree with this kind of techno-pessimism. Social media is a grind if you treat it as a grind. Your friend count is a high score only if you treat it as a high score. Your reddit karma is only important if you treat it as important.

You all act like you're being forced to use social media, or use it in a particular way, you're not. You act like its some sinister outside force that makes you obsessed with status, it isn't. It's just you. It's fun and oh-so-fashionable to blame corporations and Mark Zuckerburg for your emptiness, but it comes at a terrible cost to your ability to grow and change and understand the world around you.
