This is exactly what I have been going through for the last year or two. I even changed jobs, finding a role that was supposed to be better. At a company that would allow my skills to improve, while having what I assumed would be a better run company.

Unfortunately the new company is so full of corporate BS that I'm finding it even harder to get through each day. I genuinely feel like there are staff who are hired to 'improve productivity' through implementing Agile company wide, are actually doing everything in their power to slow things down. I've never seen this amount of unneeded meetings in my calendar, all in the name of 'planning'.
What is a reactive data source?
Everything Everywhere All At Once, currently in theaters, had a $25 million budget, and has made a respectable $38 million in the theater so far, enough that some articles are calling it a box office hit.

Also in 2019 there was Knives Out, which had a budget of $40 million and made $311 million in the box office.

I agree with your overall point, just giving a couple more examples.
Surely they're better for disabled people because there are fewer doors to deal with?

There's a difference between random spam and having a world-scale stalker knowing your number. The first doesn't have any other details on you, the latter already has plenty and wants the phone number to infer your social graph.
I'm interested in knowing how you do your correlation calculations, if there are any criteria for them (such as if a correlation is weighted against if the industries are unrelated). Also interested in your information feeds. I'm not looking to compete or do it for myself, this field just draws my playful interest and I'm curious.
This is a little off topic so I apologize, but might shine some perspective:

I lived in Dubai and Sharjah (neighboring emirate) for almost 15 years during my childhood. This was in a time when UAE was not as glamorous as it is today. I am of Asian decent and basically had zero rights. I still remember the time when we were at the beach, a family friend was arrested for staring at the local emirati ladies (who were fully clothed in a burkha). During the time that I left (around 2000) Dubai had started to change, and was in a construction boom and had just launched the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). It was a month when all the retailers and shops would participate in a city wide discount program and slash 10-50% on prices. The whole city would also be covered in lights and fireworks every day. This is when Dubai started attracting a lot of investment. I admire the way the Sheikh of Dubai envisioned this, and basically built a metropolitan and business friendly city to overcome the reliance on oil earnings. But, under the surface the old regime still exists where minorities are mistreated and a blind eye is turned towards where the money is coming from. I see what's happening in Dubai as a natural progression when there is a lack of morality and humanity in society. You have to understand the roots of how these Sheikhs who were no better than local tribe leaders wandering the deserts who came upon riches (oil!) and quickly catapulted as head of states. It's going to be hard for them to regulate this behavior and knowingly or unknowingly participate in this.

A Summary of Concerns About Clearview AI's Facial Recognition Product
Has anyone been to an ikea restaurant recently? I think post-covid they made a bunch of cost-cutting changes, because I remember the food being pretty darn delightful and tasty. I went a month ago and got cold mashed potatoes, disgusting veggies, and just plain horrible mac-n-cheese. Also, all the silverware and dishes had been replaced by single-use wooden sporks and paper plates.

I'm probably never eating at ikea again. The meatballs are decent, but you can get them frozen and they taste exactly the same.
There _is_ a lot of genuine expression. It's just not very visible and/or you might not recognise it as such. The sausage machine might be involved in some way , but that doesn't necessarily make it a product of the sausage machine!
This is profound. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Nowadays, actual social status is somewhat dependent on one's status on Facebook, i.e. whether they frequently post pictures, what they do in those pictures, whether they go to premium vacation, etc.

I heavily dislike this. I also have seen my social status take a visible hit because I abstained from Facebook.

This effect is more announced in economically backwards geographies.

I don't care because I have a small circle of friends and well-wishers with whom I am content, and I am comfortably employed, and a man with good culture.

Why not?

I don't agree with the framing of this... The question is whether or not WFO would impact these folks more negatively than their peers, not that they wouldn't be able to do it at all.
The rendering part resonate with me. I've tried in some side projects SolidJS framework and I really enjoy that the rendering of each component occurs once! Easier to not fall into some traps that React has.
> Sometimes its useful to just shift your mental nexus. There is a version of the world where Dubai is (or remains) its own bubble while the rest of the world is shambling along with their unrelated conflicts. Like a future bubble city like in an Aldous Huxley novel or the Jetsons.

This appears to be a reference to Griggs v. Duke Power Company:

You're just piling one non-sequitur on top of another. The question on this thread is "How can I learn macroeconomics properly?" The comment to which I replied was an uninformed diatribe that doesn't even come close to answering the question. Now you're doubling down on it.

When someone is asking how to learn economics, it would be helpful to take it more "in isolation" instead of regurgitating the same complaints that we see on HN and don't even answer the question.
To be fair, this is a risk even with a "legitimate" number. How do you know whether the previous owner did anything nefarious with it before it was recycled and assigned to you?

Of course, the real solution is to remove the leverage Google has on you so that a ban is no longer a problem.
And expected, most of us have to fall in the middle of the bell, only the very outliers will be at the extremes. It's normal to think one's very gifted, even boasting about it, but maturing is realizing that most of us are average.

At least we can get solace in knowing that intelligence and work is what makes great things, either alone is weak.

They are contractors because they desperately want to work in the game industry but don't have valuable skills. Everyone knows the pay is bad, the work conditions suck, even the simplest of google searches gives you all that information and more but people keep signing up by the truckload. That's why people here have no sympathy.

> The tax payer is subsidizing Nintendo because these people end up on unemployment for two months every year.

Contract workers are not eligible for unemployment except under a very small number of circumstances and simply not renewing a contract is not one of them.
> Attackers are using hacked IoT devices to do these attacks. These devices have roughly the same computing power as a mid level smartphone.

False for a very large variety of low-power IoT devices using chips like the ESP32, which are multiple decimal orders of magnitude slower than a modern computer (or high-end smartphone) and will absolutely take far longer to compute a Hashcash challenge than one of those devices. Your smart light bulb is absolutely not hosting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 to change its colors.

Additionally, adding this compute+power load causes the presence of malware to become far more visible on these devices, which increases risk of discovery, which is a significant upside.

Finally, because there's now a significant computational cost to performing a login attempt, the value of individual devices are further decreased to the attacker, which reduces their likelihood of compromising these devices, and for using them for these kinds of attacks against services that use this measure.

So, yes, Hashcash is absolutely an adequate solution, and yes, there is absolutely a cost to the attacker.

Framework owner, here.

I think this is all totally fair. You are getting less laptop for the same price.

I will put a couple of nits here:

> * No dedicated GPU options, period.

It supports thunderbolt, so you can have an eGPU! That said, while eGPUs are pretty cool, they're expensive an inefficient.

> * Form factor is quite a bit more bulky than its competitors, even considering the fact parts are removable.

I would revise "quite a bit" down to "slightly." The Dell XPS is 15.28 mm thick. The Framework is 15.85mm thick. That's 0.57mm. It is on-par with the slimmer ultrabooks out there. I'm totally happy with the form factor.
It's hard to say, I'm not sure.

Given the virtually unlimited executive powers the CDC believes it has, I am not sure I agree with your assessment that it is the least scary people. But I agree that the problem here is not that the CDC is buying it so much that this data is available to be bought.

So, it's wasted double-digit minutes of my life, at most. It added one single step to the many tedious steps of onboarding.

> It will waste your time when you want to do anything like borrow especially for a mortgage,

The Augean amount of random bullshit you have to shovel when buying a home absolutely dwarfs the KYC compliance component of it. It's not a meaningful impediment to owning property.

> trying to transfer the stock shares directly instead of selling them first.

Transfer from where to where? One brokerage to another? What gain is there for me in doing that? Could you quantify roughly how much money I'm leaving on the table from not doing this? Where would this money come from?

> It will waste your time when want to invest in other things like a private equity fund or directly into someone else's company.

If I wanted to do that (Can't say that I do), and even if AML/KYC weren't a concern, accredited investor requirements (which I meet, FYI) would require me to jump through the exact same hoops to do that.

You're not making a convincing case for how AML/KYC is materially harming me. It's just one of a million procedural checkboxes that my counterparties ask me to meet, in order to lend me money, or take my money.

I've wasted an order of magnitude more of my life on hold with Comcast, than I have on this. If there's a vast conspiracy to keep me poor, AML/KYC is doing a piss-poor job of it.
Is this for managers or engineers as well? There are several reasons I've stayed at Amazon as an engineer, such as, the stock growth created golden handcuffs, covid added a lot of fear and uncertainty and reduced mobility, and the team I'm on has a lot of people I've grown fond of through shared tribulations.

I've also found that the burnout creates a feedback loop that makes leaving hard to accomplish.
> Phone numbers, despite all their flaws, are still the most reliable long-term

How so? The most realiable one is email, as it doesn't need to be tied to any third party so it can exist a lifetime.

I've had the same email since the mid 90s. I've had probably a dozen or more phone numbers in that timeframe. A handful of which are still tied to various company accounts even though I've long since haven't had any acces to those phone numbers.
Shellac is just a varnish/coating, so the implication is Google features are metaphorically painted on the phone hardware and software and you just need to scrape it off.

I don't think that's a charitable interpretation and is uncalled for.
I'm wondering if it could be prudent to at least make the default quest be one of the custom quests. And maybe remove the remakes of the original games (1st, 2nd, and BS Zelda).

For the classic quests that remake original games, they are made in the ZQuest engine so I'm not distributing any ROMs. However, there are some videogame music files which may be ripped from the ROMs (not sure on their origination). And the graphics are obviously taken from the games too.

Although, pretty much every quest uses some sort of copyrighted material (these are fan games after all). Not sure if any of this falls under fair-use.

This stuff has happened before. It will happen again. I assume that you must believe that the violation of the nine person sacred debate club is far worse than any of the substantive consequences from the actual decision, right?

Specifically -- are you aware that before the Roe v. Wade decision was released in 1973, that news of the decision leaked to the Washington Post? The idea that this has "never occurred" is absurd when a) it has, b) it literally happened in the case that this will overturn.

Are you aware that there was a series of leaks during the Berger court and that everything ended up fine?

> Judicial independence, separation of powers

If the leak came from within the judiciary, how does this threaten the independence of the court?
There's also that partial implementation of the clojure stdlib in fennel that might have it. If not... it does have a macro system though I've avoided using it. Macros can be a quagmire even in popular well-documented lisps which fennel definitely is not either.
Worse, IQ tests are catnip for people who take IQ tests. If you practice IQ tests, your IQ will increase not because you've become smarter, but because you have more experience with IQ tests.
There was probably a window in time when cases were less than a few thousand or so when such a thing could have been possible. That's the real game in fighting emerging diseases. Early detection, identification of reservoirs and rapid vaccine development and aggressive isolation and ring vaccination if possible.

But I agree, it's absolutely laughable to think enforced social distancing could ever control a fully airborne disease, already so widespread, and with an R_0 over 4, especially now with the current rate of emergence of immunity escaping variants. Check out BA.4 and BA.5 in south africa right now, both of which seem to elude immunity from BA.1 just 6 months after Omicron's emergence.
The Verbs menu taking a third of the screen is the original SCUMM UI. The "verb coin" idea didn't come along until Full Throttle/Curse of Monkey Island years after Secret of Monkey Island and LeChuck's Revenge.

The only tiny "original UI" subtlety in play with Secret of Monkey Island was that the floppy version used a text inventory menu and the CD version added the inventory icons. I can't say I've met anyone that prefers the text inventory over the icons.

> * Form factor is quite a bit more bulky than its competitors, even considering the fact parts are removable.

The Dell you link is half a mm thinner. Half a mm hardly seems "quite a bit more bulky".

> * Price is quite a bit more expensive for what you get, compared to its competitors.

The price difference also doesn't seem all that large? It's hard to compare due to the differences, but seems to be up to maybe 10%.
How are wooden sporks and paper plates cost-cutting? They're single use, so you need to keep buying them, whereas you can wash silverware and dishes. And they're probably the cheapest possible silverware and dishes known to man since IKEA makes them.

Sounds more like a hygiene thing than a cost-cutting thing.

> That they are still so popular is a credit to how divorced from reality multi national corporate mega giants can be and still succeed.

Well, that and the size of the market itself.

> Their games and online offerings, for the most part, frankly suck compared to their competitors.

Their online offerings, sure, I guess. But their games are good, even on their consoles that don't sell well. Nintendo made a lot of money by doing nothing more difficult than porting really good games on Wii U onto the Switch.

They make money on remakes of decades-old games with minor graphical and quality of life tweaks because the games are good.

Not everything likes all of their games, and that's fine, but many do.
From my perspective, besides modularity and repairability and all that, Framework succeeded in doing something that no other laptop manufacturer has succeeded at: it has produced a laptop that fails to do anything that I hate.

Every other laptop manufacturer has something about it that drives me batty or that I just plain don't like:

* pg-up and pg-dn keys immediately to the right of the up arrow / immediately above left and right

* fn-left / fn-right doing something other than home and end

* fn key as the left-most key instead of ctrl

* webcam at the bottom of the screen

* is a mac

* keyboard is not backlit

* only has usb-c ports

* only has one usb-c port

* no headphone jack

* touchscreen monitor

* clips, or otherwise needlessly difficult to open

* 16:9 monitor (I didn't realize how much I hated these until I started using 3:2)

* difficult-to-replace battery

Each of these are small and seemingly insignificant things, but have a profound effect on how annoyed I am when while using the device. That last one is a huge win for me. You can brag all you want about your 16 hour battery runtime, that lasts for what, a month, maybe two? Then a year later you're down to 4 hours. And six months later you're down to an hour.

Somehow the Framework laptop is the only laptop on the market that fails to have any of my laptop pet peeves. This is the first laptop I've had in many years that I don't think "if only..." every time I use it. It's like they made this laptop specifically for me, and I love them for it.

The San diverged from the rest of humanity ~200,000 years ago. Australian Aboriginals ~40,000 years ago. Amerindians ~12,000 years ago.

No one’s been breeding humans but there’s been plenty of reproductive isolation. Enough that differences in selection pressures could easily lead to differences in traits. For a visible example 5,000 years ago there were no populations that looked like Swedes. Humans that pale did not exist apart from albinos.
