Since everyone is appreciating the. writeup for details, comprehensive and animation done by author, I was thinking if there is any library/platform to build such tools/animations so that masses of teachers, who can write good content, can write and animate like this. This would really make learning experience impressive.
Every famous wealthy person employs a reputation management firm to monitor and promote their public image, and to counter any negative news or scuttlebutt. I don’t doubt the guy has a cult following… but also a very busy paid posse.
Absolutely correct. Their moderation idea quoted here sounds horrible, as in 'we'll take you to room 101 for re-education' horrible. You just point users to the moderation/conduct guidelines and ban them if they continue to offend.

Human moderation against clearly set community expectations for behaviour is the only effective way. And if things are going to get too spicy, do the same as always and ban religious/political discussion altogether.

The reason we have such massive issues with Twitter/FB/etc is becuase they essentially said they were gigantic open public spaces with no moderation guidelines at all, then started enforcing arbitrary 'moderation' based on political or cultural biases, including banning content instead of bad behaviour (which it seems a lot of people out there - including the WSJ staffer writing the article - have a really hard time understanding the difference between).

HalloApp will avoid the problem by having the 50 user group limit, but how long until they get the 'feature request' to allow bigger and bigger groups? It also sounds almost exactly like Facebook groups, so what's new there aside paying for it?

I would be cautious with this platform being created from ex-Twitter employees, they will continue to implement 'misinformation' policies that police content rather than behaviour, but time will tell.

It's interesting to see it all come round again to basically the forums of old: Specific interest groups, smaller scale, moderation to suit. Who knew that worked...
Yes. Anything else wouls go against the sworn secret oath that every taxi driver lives by.
"As adults everything will be on a screen. Might as well start getting good at it."

With all kindness, this is a bit defeatist. True, chances are they'll spend most of their lives sitting in front of a screen. That's no excuse to skip exercising and neglect physical form. Likewise, they need to develop healthy screen habits, which is stay as far away as humanly possible from screens, or else be devoured by them.
For an animal model I imagine it means being fed less than would have been eaten ad libidum, or less than was eaten by a pair fed individual.

But considering you are probably in like the <= 3rd percentile of healthy humans in terms of BMI, your 'normal' calories are pretty damn low and probably commensurate with what would be considered calorie restricted.
What makes you think you have to leave for jungle to be an ascetic? You are an ascetic by all means if you have control over your senses. At least Hinduism defines it that way.
And, I'd argue, when we saw social media and big tech start to lean towards ML/algorithm driven techniques for content curation.

At college my social feeds where friends and clubs I picked, by university 3-4 years later, Facebook et. al was feeding me a lot more other stuff intermixed with friends posts.
> The people authorized to open manhole covers could easily be trained to do it safely.

Funny as it is, I would like to think that someone famous for his role in the investigation of the Challenger disaster would never flippantly say that a dangerous situation doesn't matter because "people … could easily be trained to do it safely." The fact that people can be trained to do something properly doesn't mean that trained people won't still sometimes do it improperly.
That sounds rough. It's very painful not having time to do things properly, and it's also painful when you don't have proper requirements so you can't even be totally sure what properly even is. I semi-recently left a job (the one I was talking about originally) after more than once being told "we just want a toy, proof of concept version and any time you spend on things like performance is a waste of time and we will scold you for it, even if there isn't any other work for you to do" before they decided to ship my "toy proof of concept" to a client requiring an ungodly rework of it while it was running in a production environment.

I honestly think people denigrate having at least some actual design work and requirements done upfront as being "too waterfall" and think doing it is a bad idea so we as an industry end up with not even the intentions of how a piece of code should work written down and no idea how stuff works once the original author moves on
rule of thumb: company A acquires company B, then company A does not change to become like company B, company B changes to become like company A. there are exceptions, but few. I think Slack's communications are going to become more crap, personally.
Meta freezes hiring for the rest of 2022
This is what happened to me at 14: the first time I've ever had an Internet connection at home. I am now 27 and it's really a downward spiral. I'm starting to think that the only solution, at least for me, would using Internet only for 10 minutes a day and only to download offline all the things I would like to read.
Ask HN: Why is Xcode so bad?
I have been a mobile dev for some years and I try my best to avoid using Xcode, the experience is simply unbearable, everything is anti-intuitive for somehow... same complaints can be seen everywhere, any reason why Xcode just can't be as good as other famous IDE like Visual Studio??
There certainly is, and I expect more criticism, I was referring more to his theory that aging should be treated as the disease.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on .online domain name extension?
As I'm considering buying a ".online" domain name, I'd be happy to "hear" what's the opinion of people here about that domain name extension.
I think you should think about it as consuming less energy than your body needs everyday.

This specific commenter could be considered too light for his frame. 165lbs is only 75kg. If anything, eat more and put on muscle.
Meh, maybe if you have really good eyesight (I'm mid-20s and have 20/20 vision with glasses), this matters more.

Personally, I thought the section where the author compared windows with subpixel hinting off to the same UI retyped on MacOS was a joke because the images looked exactly the same... needless to say I'm happy running two 1080p external monitors and a 2k laptop screen in 1366x768 mode for better app compatibility. I use the laptop in native resolution when it's undocked and don't really notice a difference, so I'm skeptical of the "you don't know what you're missing!" argument this article goes for -- if it's bothering you definitely upgrade, but I don't think every programmer needs to.
Salesforce has been unable to attract or retain security talent. When they acquire a company, they close down the department that does security for that company - and then move everyone into the Salesforce Trust team. Unlike engineering who they typically leave alone (unless they're integrating or rebranding).

In doing so, they typically lose everyone that setup the SIEM and run the SecOps center. Everything "security" ends looking the same.

They don't pay well, executives have pulled talks and fired speakers who do things they disagree with (the same executives are promoted and remain there - no accountability), they've got a pretty bad wrap within the industry.
I’d go with a tinymicro server instead and use proxmox with VMs and LXC containers. This type of containers is pretty much like a VM (you get a full OS and can hardly tell the difference with a VM, unlike docker). But it’s much lighter (it’s a container) and all your regular tooling like ansible etc works out of the box. Along with tarsnap or borg for backups and unattended-upgrades and it’s near set and forget (unlike, again, docker)

I went the docker route for home and I don’t recommend it. It’s too high maintenance to keep up to date, it’s over engineered for the home. I’ve since switched to proxmox and vms/lxc.
> Situation wrt to teen mental health is similar in Europe, but there's a much smaller graduation debt.

But Europe has far lower professional salaries than the US.

Also economic conditions definitely have a big impact, I could finally buy a small flat after years of renting and it's such a great change to be able to make changes in your own home and buy your own things.

My father did that at 23, not 30.
This is my alt account. It’s mainly a story about how Romero likes to drink, Carmack has a bit of an inclination towards chemistry and explosives and a not-so-harebrained scheme for modern-day piracy. I’m so tired of typing out posts which I consider thoughtful and meaningful to deal with censorship and awful nonsense so I will decline. It would get downvoted anyway because it’s 100% not sensitive to sensitive people’s inclinations anyway.

I cannot use the words I want to use because I would be censored or banned for them and I will include this rider to remind people this website actively policies TONE, CONTENT, and CONVERSATION. They may ban me for using this rider, or censor me for it. Do not forget you are not free.
The actual test was to see how they dealt with frequent airline travel.

Yes, I have a 2200 mAh 18650 cell in there too, which the panel will mostly keep charged. In the darker, cloudier winter, I swap in a battery and recharge manually if it's not keeping up.

Running on an Adafruit ESP32 Feather board, it wakes up, sends its current readings over Wi-Fi to an MQTT service (that is on a Raspberry Pi), and goes back to sleep for 10 minutes. A little daemon running saves to Sqlite database, and another ESP32 unit inside has its own sensor, as well as displaying both (outside pulled from MQTT).

I've got some pictures and such, though haven't quite gotten to the much-belated blog post yet.
Absolutely agree. I'm not trying to say that everyone should start stealing things because it's _cheaper_, just that the "reward" of doing the right thing is not particularly compelling if someone is already partaking in the bad behaviour.
Snapchat is a messaging service. Quite different from the rest imo.
Good insight thank you. I fell into a profession that I could do. I still don't know if I like it but I made it my own and there are certain aspects I like.

No Linux version, even harder automation than Adobe's
I felt that way too and didn’t like the point and click interface of nodered. Instead, I’m using appdaemon which lets me write all automations using actual code (python) along with the VSCode plugin for HASSOS (not my editor of choice but it’s the only available one)
You think teenagers are thinking about pensions... If they are they are probably already having mental issues because that's not something someone pre 20s should be concerned about.

People in this thread need to stop projecting their problems and worldviews as universal social issues.
Airlines can also do this. They just have to refund your ticket, but good luck buying a replacement same day.
Accidentally stealing something where you don't realize that you stole it, and the store doesn't realize that you stole it, costs less than what happened. In terms of net global utility, even taking into account that your sense of morality has utility to you, it costs less. So this isn't a good example of "good behavior being rewarded" (i.e. having a net-positive outcome in global utility.)

To be clear, theft isn't theft (legally or ethically) without mens rea — if you accidentally walk out of a store with something, you haven't done anything wrong.

And if you later realize you now have possession of the thing, that doesn't mean you're suddenly guilty of theft, either. Theft is an act requiring mens rea, not a state of someone who possesses something that was at some point illegitimately dispossessed from its owner. (If the latter was true, then most people who buy anything from pawn shops would be guilty of theft, because those things were often stolen from someone at some point.)

You might, separately, see there being positive ethical value in returning an item to its owner; but this ethical value should be considered independently from the ethical cost of having stolen (or not stolen) the thing. If you think there's positive ethical value in returning things to their owners, then you'd likely feel an ethical impoetus to e.g. "steal" stolen bicycles from those piles you see on the front yards of flop houses, and bring them back to the people who own them. (Even though those people have probably bought new bicycles already, and won't know what to do with the returned ones. Even though the stolen pile of bicycles is likely just a pile of rust due to lack of maintenance.)
There's going to be a question about the expected probability of this across cloud service providers.

I've done security work for multiple cloud service providers and know a lot of people in the industry. I'm not really privy to give details.

I can say: dev teams face limits on what they can build securely, platform teams face limits on what secure by default and monitoring features they have time to implement, security operations teams have a lot of data points to look at, and in theory even changes in personnel in a couple of teams can have an impact on the threat posture for a given set of a company.

People are trying. But if you do the math for introduction of attack surface over time versus risk mitigation effort over time for that attack surface you can derive some estimates for likelihood of attack.

If your cloud provider isn't providing you that data as a customer, it's not simple to make a determination about likelihood of risk introduction and breach of your cloud provider.

This hasn't really been something people talk about because there was a tacit assumption that the biggest companies are mostly getting this right.

I'm not trying to say the cloud is inherently broken, I run a lot of workloads in the cloud and trust sensitive data to the cloud. But I do wish there were better ways for customers to have data points with which they could evaluate platforms besides extrapolating the history of public breach reports.
So, according to https://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/california/san-jose/
median household income in San Jose is $130,865.00

80% of that is $104,692

According to https://www.redfin.com/city/17420/CA/San-Jose/housing-market
median home price in San Jose is $1.4M

10% of that is $140,000

So, CA will give $140K free money, to each household in San Jose area making less than $104,692. That is more than a year's salary for free, paid by other tax payers. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I can say that I'm not very enthusiastic about it.

Will there be Fed and CA income tax on it?
International norms?
Super cool! Hope we can use this technology to look for missing people.
I’d say so. It’s interoperable so you’re not vendor locked and is very well supported by HA.
Are you ok, friend?
The end was the best bit. I have seen good explanations of the escapement and timing gears before, but not of the crown adjuster mechanisms.
The middle ground "fallacy" as used by most people in reference to social media moderation is usually a strawman. Often pushed by the exact types of people responsible for social media being the divisive cesspool that it is.

dang's job sucks, but him pushing for moderation (as in moderate behavior regardless of opinion being expressed) is exactly what makes HN enjoyable even in threads where I don't necessarily agree with the consensus.

Seiko makes a huge range of watches so: it depends. If it's a cheaper one, just buy a new one. If it's a mid-range one, you can just buy a new movement for under $100 and toss it in with a few tools. Lots of tutorials on YouTube.

I used to be a Elon musk fanboy because I thought he wasn’t like other billionaire who has rich parents, but later found out Elon musk has had rich parents as well… and I do think he is quite different than others in terms of personality (nerdy? maybe I don’t know)
"and there’s maybe a case to be made for him exercising that power here to fire all of them if they cannot definitively prove who it was after investigation in order to defend the integrity of the Court’s deliberation process. If they can at least narrow down that it was in fact a clerk and not some other staffer and definitely not a Justice (probably wasn’t, but still better to go through the investigation), then I can’t say I would disagree with that outcome."

That would be a batshit bonkers move, frankly.

Luckily, that doesn't seem to be Roberts's style.

Can concur, it’s very convenient and satisfying to have hundreds of documents over the years archived, OCRed, and fully searchable. Reduced clutter drastically and I’ve never lost a paper again.
> Working from home has convinced me that a lot of western people don't really need more than one meal a day

A different way to look at it would be that a lot of Western people are too sedentary for more than one meal a day. Not only are they getting fat, their muscles are atrophying from lack of activity.
You don't? Black women are constantly complaining about how their hair takes specialty tools and special knowledge only possessed by barbers who specifically learn to care for black hair.

Someone's hair changed quite a bit.
While I don't use Apple products (as except to test websites in Safari), I've seen people genuinely delighted in their Apple products and despise the inconsistencies found in Windows and various Android devices. It may not be fit to your needs, but it doesn't mean that it will not fit to others. Similarly, I appreciate bulky but rugged laptops but you or others might not.
When I was a teenager and 2008 housing crisis happened I cared quite a lot about it. Sure it never affected me personally or anyone around us, but I spent a lot of time watching documentaries and reading articles around it and got upset and cynical about the world/regulatory authorities. It wasn't social media, but ease to pirate movies and looking for documentaries recommendations online that led me to it.

This notion that "it doesn't directly affect teens so they don't care" is a painfully naive narrative. If anything teens have A LOT of time and energy and little clue what to do with it. So many naturally find something to care/obsess over, with or without social media. (although it is probably amplified by it)

For the right price- I would not stay at a $1,000/night hotel

The market is us - we decide we are not going to pay $300 a night at the Motel 6.

Why don’t we let the hard-working people decide were they want to work hard at ?

You can stay at the Motel 6 and tip the staff $100 a night and fix the market

It’s a decently big issue that’s affecting you more the later you were born, we already heard about it when we were teenagers, but now it’s far more prominent in the media than it was back then.
I actually have developed web UIs for 9 years professionally and remember evaluating Angular1 vs React. In angular I built an app with tons of great features, but React was far more terse and honest about how things work because there were not really big DSLs or magic features, instead you built trees of JS objects that used the pretty thin JSX syntax to accomplish this. I admit JSX was of course exactly a DSL in some small ways but primarily it was just more terse and semantic.

When you think about major UI frameworks, the fundamental concept of composition is clearly key. State is the other idea at play, and their interrelation needs to have obvious life cycles to be predictable. React accomplished this as well in a very intuitive fashion that is also exactly as performant as you can wire a VDOM based approach to be. The react team’s foresight and rule based approach continues to be cutting edge with hooks, as they are more honest and terse than class-based components.

Finally, wiring up my favorite state library mobx gave me free render optimization and incredibly smooth code authoring capabilities all for one. This was around long before hooks, but still remains top tier as well.

Kool aid is both a poor drink and a poor representation of why I chose React and continue to enjoy building applications with it.
MS Office switched to XML tentatively in 2003 and fully in 2007. The latter formats were standardized (Ecma, ISO) into Office Open XML, but even the previous version were accessible. I don’t remember whether the spec was publicly available, but you could study the output of some valid documents and figure out what went where.
