I bought a double-edged razor as mentioned in the article. Tried it several times, including staring at youtube videos to try to learn. Fucking destroyed my face every time, which is quite embarrassing and upsetting. Found it impossible to get a close shave. Maybe I'm just low IQ but I gave up. Superior people that can do it can fairly look down on me, but there is a market for people like me.

I didnt buy a brush, but if it takes a huge ritual to prepare to shave even after a shower, i'd rather just pay Gillette
It's really, really bad digital hygeine to use social media apps – anything with "doom scrolling" – on the phone at all. I don't think most people agree with that, but if you eliminate all such things on your phone, it can be no problem to open a phone and use it.

I don't check email on my phone, unless I absolutely have to. I don't have any social media on it except for signal. I don't open the web browser. My phone is mostly used for maps, reading books, and video chatting.

I look forward to a world where people genuinely view social apps and related addictive software the way we do harmful drugs. Something to be avoided, and if you can't avoid them, there should be pressure to seek help.

Single-task ANNs like convnets are really quite different from the human brain as a whole. Without the "rest of the brain" it fundamentally doesn't understand that the pixels it sees are representations of a 3d world, with discrete objects and the passage of time.
The Wahl Peanut costs half that. It may not last as long, but I know someone who's used the same one for about 10 years. Zero ongoing costs as you say. Also saves time over anything involving shaving cream.
"Curtis Yarvin, who hypothesized a neo-feudal search engine, which he cutely named Feudl, as early as 2010"

Did he? It's absolutely nowhere on google or DDG except in Morozov's article. Yarvin's blog archives are all indexed.

"3 The ideas behind Feudl are described on Yarvin’s blog, Unqualified Reservations. Essentially, Google was not too feudal but too ‘woke’—too democratic."

Yeah, I call BS. Back in 2010 the word 'woke' (as an adjective) was practically unknown outside of AAVE and had no negative connotation.
Officially, you can't, though this has yet to be litigated. Some newspapers are taking the gamble and offer either to opt-in to tracking or to pay.
Reasonable. It's an 'I believe' claim based not an 'based on these facts' claim. But, I am more informed that most as I spent five years in the industry leading all algorithm/ML development for autonomous systems at Apple. (Who I am leaving out of this analysis BTW :)

I still cannot believe people shave with Gillette razors, or any other of those fancy multi-blade razors. I paid $10 for a pack of 100 double sided razor blades 3 YEARS ago and I’m still not even close to finished with the pack.
To help differential the styles, (double-edge) safety razors and cartridge (safety) razors are named slightly differently to help reduce confusion in general conversation:

Of course if you want to go old school:

Slightly more convenient, but uses a similar technique:

Meetings, CI, etc. are all good things in moderation, but people could be more productive by applying more judgment to the question of when to do them.

If you're like a typical colleague of mine, you aren't needed at 80% of the meetings you attend, and you don't get any value out of those meetings either. Your attendance at these meetings is essentially a mindless way to run out the clock on the day.
> Aside from differences in cost, do you find anything about a straight razor compellingly better than e.g. a Gillette Mach 3?

Quality of shave. If you maintain your straight razor, and mind it, it does require some maintenance, the quality of shave is of no comparison. My wife can instantly make out the difference when I shave in a hurry with Mach 3.
Regular people also have their phones stolen, lost, damaged or bricked on a regular basis. I suspect passwords will remain as a backup mechanism for a while.
You're comparing a Trinitron (must have cost a pretty penny) to a low end Vizio and a Samsung (who have a long history of consumer hostility in their products).

You get what you pay for.
Assuming that's something by Gillette/Wilkinson Sword etc., no, while safer, it's ironically not 'a safety razor'.

Safety razors (single/double edge) are safe by comparison to 'cut throat' straight edges, not to cartridge razors.

(Because they came first. It's like 'New' College Oxford being something like the second oldest one.)

Today, my opinion is that software is grown, not built.

You start with a small thing that mostly works, then throw away what isn't good and add what is missing. In this process, you learn more, so it is iterative.

The main reason projects fail is not technological. The real killers are lack of analysis and lack of communication. Both are a lot easyer with 1 enthousiast doing the whole project.
The `find` command is extremely useful, but user-friendly, it is not.

Example: what value to assign to the productivity benefits that Amazon and AWS have created for individuals, companies etc and society in general? I think we can all agree that it is an enormous amount in dollar terms.
Shake off the excess water, splash some rubbing alcohol on them and shake that off. I think that slows the oxidation on the blade. They seem to last many months this way.
There is easy way to "disprove" it in any argument:

Google gets no money from people using Chrome, what they get is the ability to track you directly. They turn that tracking into adverts, which is ultimately their revenue stream. They absolutely _could_ do a good job to prevent you being tracked - they absolutely have no incentive to do so.

Likewise Firefox. They _could_ implement tracking protection. But they (so far) clearly choose not to. You say they'd do a good job, and I agree, but it's not like they haven't thought of it, or they're waiting for approval from the HN forums before implementing it. Given they have chosen not to do it, it makes you think maybe there's a reason for that. And maybe that has to do with the wishes of their biggest benefactor...

Of course I might be wrong. Perhaps they're just thinking that tracking everyone is good for the end user, and so they want to provide a browser which offers users the best possible experience. That's obviously a possibility as well.
Mine "taught me" by handing over a cheap electric shaver and basically saying "you can't go wrong"... I think you can change the blades but he never did, so neither do I, just wait for the entire thing to break or get lost. So all the debate around what's cheapest or most manly has always somewhat confused me.
GCC doesn't actually follow GNU conventions since it has both single hyphen and double hyphen long options.
Gillette M3 selling point for me is you can’t cut yourself. It’s really effortless shaving. I can basically shave and finish under a minute, no cuts no hassles, no special movements with my hand etc.
Which is surely recyclable 'waste' at that.

(Edit: to be clear I mean the spent metal blades? Not the plastic ones...)
What if I lose my phone or forget it at home? Can I no longer do my personal banking on my laptop or workstation?
> No large company would begin using unlicensed code like that, they have many rules in place to avoid license violations.

I've seen it happen at multiple large companies, even though they have policies. I've seen a lawyer miss a GPL license violation in a license review, the team caught it before a public release. Especially when you have internal only projects or developers who are admin on their company owned dev machines.
I quite like the "phone as hardware token" via Webauthn as 2FA.
However, I've never used "Sign in with Google" and the likes because I don't want all the sites I'm using to get my "real" email address.

So I really hope Google et. al. will offer some kind of email address cloaking like Apple do with their private relay stuff.
Knowing Google, they sure as heck won't, though.
>I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't happened. Food thermometers are a thing - where's the same thing for flavours? Why can't I stick something in my curry to see if it needs more spice?

Because taste is wholly subjective and far more nuanced and varied than anything like what this posits could account for. I am surprised by this person's surprise.
Have you experimented with blades? This was my takeaway after using Merkur blades and I abandoned safety razors for a while. I tried again using Feather blades and the experience was much better: far superior to cartridge shaving. With more practice I also improved my technique which undoubtedly helps.
Interesting, any chance you could expand on these 'other user interfaces'? I'm not really familiar with Unix itself, but I've always considered Linux a shell-first OS (as opposed to Windows (NT), which I consider a GUI-first OS).
Software does easily what we can with great difficulty or not at all, just as we can do easily what software does with great difficulty or not at all.

The razor blade doesn't really dull, it gets mineral deposits that make it rough.

So water hardness can make a big difference in how long they last.

Cell phones cannot be secured or trusted. You have no access to secure them either. Using them for anything private is already a terrible idea. This is just one more way for companies to take more of your data and insert themselves as a middleman in another aspect of your life that they can then control. A "feature" like this will only put your security at greater risk.
I have a straight razor it's almost a lost art using one. I tried one but I figured I'd end up killing myself by accident. Plus I don't have to patience to sharpen and strop the blade.

A safety razor is also a great investment and cheap. I bought a Wilkinson Sword handle $20 and a pack of five blades $5. It's an old name-brand sold practically everywhere. I can get more than a month out of one double-sided blade. Plus it shaves very close much better than multi-blade razors.

It's better than the two, three, four, five blade monstrosities that always get clogged in days. They also cost far too much literally 5x more than safety razor blades.

Clearly they're in the business of something else because the product isn't very compelling when it comes to browsing and searching.

You need to be able to build the code to even have a chance at that level of understanding of the source. And really you need to be able to build the code with a specialized toolchain. This is tractable with a huge investment if you get to choose or dictate your tools. If folks are bringing their own tools it is basically impossible.

Pushing for standardization of fact output from toolchains could be a path to getting somewhere when you can't dictate toolchains. Or really just having some kind of fact output from default toolchains would get you a long way.
This compelling account of a scientific martyr did not even begin to take shape until well over a century later when it was recruited to vilify the institution of the Catholic Church rather than Christianity more generally.

I think it is vastly under-appreciated the extent to which The Enlightenment Story is hand in glove with the Reformation, with all its biases and political complexities tidily put to one side because they're inconvenient.
But as per the report, it’s rising therefor by definition not a universal problem. This is also just the US perspective, no other countries. So what data do you have that shows this is universal?
> I stopped using a straight razor since I couldn't get the edge as sharp as I'd like to

Don’t get mad at me, but what you need is a 5000, 8000 and maybe 12000 grit Naniwa (or comparable) superstone. Also, a good strop. Leather would be sufficient.

Send your razor off for establishing a good edge to Portland Razor Co. Once you get it back, you should be able to maintain that edge with minimal fuss.

Carbon steels can get sharper but you need to be really on top of it on maintenance. Stainless steel is more durable and tolerates some abuse but does not retain edge as well.

Lastly, don’t hurry while shaving, and don’t drop the damn razor please.

I have literally had financial institutions reject my password for being "too long" or containing "wrong special characters".

Quite recently, my bank site was having a fit and I couldn't log in, with only cryptic errors. The first line of help didn't understand a thing and wrote back to IT to find out more. Apparently if you don't hand type / PW manager autotype your password, you are a hacker now; they are actively hostile towards PW managers. Great yet incomprehensible way to push people towards bad passwords. This was at a small bank that uses third party software, also used at another small bank I use. So it will have propagated to who knows where overnight.

Now we want to get rid of passwords altogether, so phishing is a simple as [remotely] watching someone distracted unlocking their phone in the coffee shop, and there is a good chance you can get them to swipe right when they should go left. Idiocracy.
Well, I usually use MIP in larger processing pipelines, which I tend to write in python. For example see step 4. in this algorithm about automatically generating a public transit map layer:

ps. By far the worst. Because it supports multiple syntax types I can never remember the ps command options. Even if you google for examples you get different syntax and end up with a mix of the same option letters doing different things in one command.

I need to get past the press releases and read up, but is this using my phone to authenticate to an IDp (ie google) who then oks me with the relying party (example.com) or am I directly signing up with example.com (ie my phone has a key pair in its secure enclave for google only, for for hundreds of sites I visit

(from memory this will need much bigger storage in the secure enclaves - thousands of accounts is quite feasible)
I reckon I cut myself less often (neither frequently) with my DE safety razor than when I used to use cartridges - because it's so cheap that I replace the blade much more readily, I only use an edge once.

As in cooking, it's the blunt edge that cuts you: you slip or (have to) attack harder.
>From that perspective, it was entirely reasonable to believe that if a command was so complex that it needed options than it was likely more appropriate for one of the other user interfaces

What would the non-shell interface to commands for text processing pipelining (e.g. sort, cut, grep, etc., all of which absolutely need options to function) have looked like? Some people to this day believe that any text processing more complicated than a simple grep or cut should be done in a stand-alone script written in a domain-specific language (e.g. Perl or awk), rather than piping shell commands to each other.

Personally, I’m glad we got the best of both worlds—having command line tools with a dizzying array of options doesn’t preclude being able to accomplish the same tasks with a more verbose stand-alone script. It is often far faster to write shell pipelines to accomplish fairly involved tasks than to write a stand-alone script. The classic example is the (in)famous McIlroy vs. Knuth: six lines of McIlroy’s shell pipeline accomplished the same thing as dozens of lines of Knuth’s “literate program,” while being equally as understandable [0].

>It’s a shame because McIlroy had a lot of interesting ideas around pipelining audio and graphics that, as far as I know, never materialized.

I would love to hear more about this. The UNIX shell is amazing for pipelining (most) things that are easily represented as text but really falls flat for pipelining everything else.

> Capitalism does not care ...

This is sloppy and wrong. A good counter example is child labor. That used to be common and fully integrated into corporate operations. Then it was made illegal and most people believe that economic systems work better without child labor. What appeared to be a simple optimization took away childhood happiness and opportunities for education. The problem we have is not some nebulous struggle with Capitalism as it is deciding on appropriate boundaries and regulations for work. Benefit corporations are keenly competitive Capitalist entities yet their primary goal is to enrich workers and customers alike. Employee ownership has well demonstrated benefits not only for workers but also managers and investors. What we need to do is figure out where our current systems go to far and need to favor human needs first.
You’re supporting this being a mental health issue still. Nobody is forcing you to use social media. There are plenty of other methods to communicate with others, and if you focus on have a few strong relationships you have absolutely no need. This is starting to read like Stockholm syndrome.
Do animals deserve a life without suffering? Someone convince me. Do even humans deserve a life without suffering? Who/what grants and enforces this right? Is it more moral to reduce human suffering or animal suffering?

The ECHR has nothing to do with whether or not there would be a war in Europe. The EEC/EU possibly does, but it's doubtful if the political apparatus of the EU has anything to do with it, but rather measures of economic integration, which would have likely happened even without an EEC.

The resulting conclusion 'can't come up with something better than the EU' doesn't follow from the original statement, moreover, it wouldn't be hard at all to come up with something 'better' than the EU: A trade and customs union with relatively free movement (but not fully) would be 'better' than the EU, especially because it would likely include Turkey, and possibly already Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia.

A 'Decentralized European Bank' which allowed for national currencies but under tight regulatory oversight and exchange rules, obviously a more progressive concept that could only be enabled by tech, would be better than the ECB, which is a giant drag on periphery economies.
