Thing is, there's no symmetry here.

If some people genuinely have problems and some genuinely don't, then only common conclusion is that the problems do exist (for some) and so solutions to them are required, so the experiences of the people who had problems can't be trivialized (because that experience is relevant for solving the problem even if they're in the minority) and the experiences of the people who didn't have a problem should be trivialized unless there's a good argument that those experiences almost universal and the problem actually is not real.

Mobile OS permissions are way too limited. It's one of the reasons there are no good programming environments on mobile.

> Programs should be granted access to files opened via system (desktop environment) file picker APIs or when passed in via a shell.

For example, this would render the file tree of any IDE or advanced editor (like VS code) completely useless. I can count on one hand the number of times I've used the system file picker when programming.

There's also ample evidence that 1500mg is too low. https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20140402/cdc-salt-gu....

Unlike white sugar which seems to be bad for humans in nearly any amount, salt is an essential nutrient. I suspect it was so demonized as an attempt to deflect blame off of other food additives such as sugar. Low sodium diets may make sense for people with high blood pressure, but it isn't something that everybody should be doing.

It seems grossly irresponsible to only highlight the dangers of high sodium while ignoring the dangers of low sodium diets.
Maybe, but if the goal is shrinking the gender lifespan gap, reducing women's mortality would actually make the gap worse. You should focus on reducing men's mortality first, until the gap disappears or reverses, at which point you can start considering women's mortality again.

I had a package. FedEx fucked up and delivered it back to the merchant instead of me. It clearly shows this on the tracking. I never got the package. My bank (Square) refused the chargeback as the package had technically been "delivered" even though it wasn't delivered to me.
Are you utilizing your IRL social circle? 100% of the jobs I've had in the last 15 years have come from someone I know reaching out and saying, "hey, the company I work for is hiring and I think you'd be a great fit."

Now, some of that was motivated by referral bonuses on their part, but still.

The old cliche that "it's not what you know but who you know" is still very much a thing.

Unless I am misunderstanding things rather deeply, I do not believe you need consent to track individuals' activity in your own app, with server-side logging.

You need consent to set cookies that are not relevant to the (user-side) functioning of your app/website—and since that's the only way for you to track users outside your own site (an oversimplification, but close enough), naturally you need it to track them beyond there.
The argument is if you specialize in young women's clothing, instead of trying to micro target messaging to different personas, have a single message that can work with everyone you are trying to sell to.
I've had the opposite experience. Google Maps has enabled me to explore randomly with a lot more confidence than before. Now I'm much more willing to take a random side-road, knowing that I won't get lost even if there are no street name signs. I also know that I can return to my original destination as efficiently as possible instead of getting stuck unable to merge back onto a motorway.

Similarly, I'm now much more relaxed about taking random road trips to "wherever". I know I can find fuel, food, and bathrooms.

The content of the post clearly indicates complete apathy and lack of interest. Something that happens when you work on bullshit for years.
Every human behavior has selfishness at its root. It’s the essential thing that keeps us alive.

After all, the act of staying alive, is a selfish act in itself.

But even giving your life for someone else is also a selfish act. Some part of you wants to be seen as the hero. And wants to be remembered as the selfless person who did all.

Even towards babies. And that’s because that behavior is hard-wired in our DNA because of our need to live forever through them.

Every so called altruistic act has to have some kind of benefit in it, even if we don’t gain anything tangible from it. The gain in this case can be moral, satisfaction or some other intangible reward.

This is taken to the extreme with modern “virtue signaling” where you get social points such as likes and comments for signaling how selfless you are.

We should get over ourselves and realize that we are selfish to the core — and in so doing actually do more for the rest of humanity, accepting the gain that we get from it.
If the encryption is ever cracked now everyone can read everyone's messages though can they not? I know it feels unlikely to happen today, but tomorrow's technological breakthrough could make anything happen in a matter of months. The future is uncertain.
I talked with one or two people were interested in further poetry work but I haven't heard of anything since. The most interesting recent news is someone claiming that InstructGPT can be prompted to do what looks like genuine rhyming, but they didn't share their prompt and I've been too busy to followup.

The vocab tokenizing already mostly works, as you can see from the results. I think the solution really is as simple as switching to a byte encoding like ByT5, and perhaps someone spending 30 minutes to run a few megabytes of text through an IPA phonetic encoder to enrich the training corpus. Rhyming is just not that hard or complex compared to the things neural nets already do. It's purely artifactual. Then one can focus on more interesting and challenging tasks, like curating high-quality corpuses for finetuning.

COVID was a massive pre/post test that proved that tech didn’t have to be done via periodic visits to the company’s spreadsheet mine.

I’m not worried that highly talented US devs will be harmed by the ripples from that test, but there are a lot of developers in the middle of the bell curve of value delivery who will feel increased competition from a broader pool of devs also perfectly capable to hit that broad middle of the curve at a higher RoI, once the (perceived) constraint of living in commuting distance of the office is removed.

I will never fire a productive developer and try to hire a cheaper replacement somewhere else. That’s a fool’s errand. But when I’m seeking to hire, I’m absolutely looking at the RoI with as many factors as I can manage to take into account. I doubt I’m alone in the market in thinking this way.
How is "equality of outcome" defined? If multi-generational advantage contributed to a massive wealth gap and head start, is it considered seeking equality of outcome to create policy that seeks to help the previously disadvantaged "catch up"?

Said the other way, is it true equality of opportunity if this history is ignored? Seems odd to suddenly say, "ok, now the playing field is level, so we're all good".
You would be the first person I've heard say that. Everyone I ever spoken to about this loves Spotify's recommendations. And I'm talking about non-technical people. They are excellent recommendations. No, they are NOT successful for the reasons you state. Apple Music does that. Now, that's a recommendation that is indeed bad.
Well, that's an interesting point. Before we follow some far-right vision of restoring the nobility, we'd better find out exactly which version they have in mind. We'd also better think seriously about what constraints are going to be able to prevent it from turning into the worse version.
People need to be meditating as an essential form of spirit hygiene. I find blasphemous articles with bombastic and outlandish claims to be quite unhelpful.
The thing is, once you start going the "all of the above" route (especially with the "good schools" requirement), you're more or less ensuring high housing/land costs. Good schools are the main reason specific neighborhoods get bid up by families competing for the same limited inventory.
Not who you're replying to, but I have 10 years FE experience, and have managed small teams (3-5). My hit rate for interviews to applications was around 1:6. My only requirements around applications were: no early startups, a modern tech stack, and a minimum engineering team size.

The overwhelming majority of companies simply ghosted my application – Spotify, Atlassian, ADP, Lyft, Stripe, and Squarespace were all applications I made in one week, none of whom ever responded.

Hopefully I'll be closer to 1:1 once I've got 20 years under my belt ;)

> No, I choose Spotify's UI over Apple Music's.

"No" seems to suggest that you're disagreeing with your parent's post, but your parent is saying why they chose it, not why you did:

> I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that everyone has the same catalog (at least for my fairly boring taste in music) and actively choose Spotify’s personalization over Apple Music’s tighter integration with my phone, car, etc. Just a single data point though.
Should taxpayers who never went to college and didn't take out any student loans have to bear the financial burden? Should borrowers who did the responsible thing and paid back their loans already receive a retroactive refund?
Have you ever litigated in small claims court? I don't think you have because you use the word "fine" which is not used outside of statutory claims generally, and probably wouldn't be something that comes up in a small claims action (you'd be asking for damages).

IANAL, so my advice when dealing with the courts at all is to tread very carefully. You can easily lose your shirt, especially against larger opponents, if they wish to get vindictive and manage to get you to pay their legal costs when you lose.
The final panel is the removal of the fence. You're conveniently leaving that out.

> While it is true that Spotify does recommendations, I'm sceptical that the majority of users value this part most

Any time Spotify is brought up (which is really any time music is brought up) it's a good bet the quality of discovery of recommendations are mentioned. The Discovery Weekly and Daily Mixes are loved. My anecdotal evidence is the dozens of people I've talked to about this over the years. This HN thread is the first time I've seen anyone suggest otherwise.

I know for myself, if it wasn't for the discovery that Spotify offers, I wouldn't use it.

In the spirit of curiosity and playfulness I would like to respond with a bold claim:

The distinction between self and other is simply a concept. Certainly useful in many situations, but ultimately just one perspective - one tool at the mind’s disposal.

One could reasonably argue this is the central teaching of Buddhism. Alan Watts helped articulate these ideas to western audiences in many of his lectures:

“You see, the point is that an enormous number of things are going on inside us of which we are not conscious. We make a very, very arbitrary distinction between what we do voluntarily and what we do involuntarily, and we define all those things which we do involuntarily as things that happen to us rather than things that we do. In other words, we don’t assume any responsibility for the fact that our heart beats, or that our bones have such and such a shape.

If you become aware of the fact that you are all of your own body, and that the beating of your heart is not just something that happens to you, but something you’re doing, then you become aware, also—in the same moment and at the same time—that you’re not only beating your heart, but that you are shining the sun.”
Poking random values into sections of memory.

Start at n. poke in rnd(256). n++. Poke. Repeat till crash.

The crash is often pretty. Some nice glitch.

One was black screen with a fuzzy horizontal band of color near the top of the screen. Red, green, whatever. Sometimes 2 bands with 2 colors.

Another was a screen full of random characters. Glitched sprites. Stuff all buzzing blinking twitching.

Sydney researchers find marker to detect babies at higher risk of SIDS/SUID
Yep because software devs is in the business of making money, while Alan Kay is in the business of smugly commenting from the side lines. He has very little understanding on what matters in the commercial world of software.
You'd be surprised. Even very realized people like Chogyam can be boisterous, womanizing, drunks. There are plenty of examples of highly awakened people doing conventionally bad and egocentric things. Unfortunately, this kind of stuff holds a lot of people back, if not dissuade them completely, from trying a little bit of meditation to improve their lives. There's a lot of archetypes of this in /r/streamentry. The term is crazy wisdom or divine madness, coined by Chogyam himself.

Ironically, and bit hilariously, conceit/pride is one of the fetters discarded at enlightenment, yet the Buddha Gautama has been quoted, "I am the greatest!"
That's a great idea. I'm sad it hasn't gained much traction yet.
has Thiel ever specifically claimed to be a monarchist? not that I'm aware of - but he has close ties with Curtis Yarvin who is a technocratic monarchist, has explicitly expressed anti-democratic sentiment, and hangs around in a mixed crowd of paleolibertarians (a system which leads directly to the sort of hyper-capitalist corporate monarchies Yarvin yearns for) and crypto-fascists like Trump. His behaviour, the company he keeps and his stated beliefs all point to him being a reactionary.
Copland UI ideas and code survived and shipped in Mac OS 8. Multithreaded Finder, Platinum Theme (multiple themes in fact, though killed at the last moment), windows as tabs at the bottom of the screen.

However the main challenge, memory protection, didn't. Much like Longhorn's file system.
I think that example may be more a matter of being separated by a common language (and/or poor written communication skills) than a time zone difference.
You can add a second to your list. Spotify doesn't have a lot of my favorite music, and the recommendations have always been bland and boring or downright bad to me.
What do you mean by stainless steel? Stainless steel pans are usually clad (3 or more layers with aluminum in the middle for heat transfer), and IMO wonderful to cook on no matter what generates the heat.

If you're talking about pure stainless pans, I've never seen one. I've seen pure stainless steel stock pots (though even then, most have a clad base). The thing about stock pots is that they're full of liquid, which convects and makes thermal conductivity of the hardware pretty much irrelevant. Never buy expensive stock pots.

It definitely took me some time to get used to the way window management works on the Mac, but now it makes sense to me and I am okay with it. MacOS works better for me when I send my full-screen programs to their own desktop (the green button) than to double-click the title bar like I would in Windows. With the Magic Trackpad swipe navigation available to me, I can easily flip between programs in full-screen mode. Some parts of the operating systems are 1:1 and others need a little bit of mental reprogramming.

Reality is complicated and nuanced and attempts to boil reality down to single concepts or dimensions are always full of ifs and buts and end up not really holding up when you look closer.

Everything is selfishness is an especially lame theory of everything. Start asking who the self is, and what the benefit is and you're going to quickly see that you can't define either without completely washing any value out of your theory of everything. In the end it doesn't serve much purpose beyond justifying selfish behaviour.
Google’s changing its performance reviews to waste less time
I don't think the reporters got the key improvement of the new GRAD system: Google will no longer evaluate an employee's performance by the complexity of their projects, but by the impact. Google also gives their managers more say in promotion instead of letting a committee to make promotion decisions.

I think this is a good change as it aligns the incentives of the company and the employees. Engineers will be mainly be responsible to their peers and their manager. If an engineer's team becomes more influential because the engineer's work, then the engineer's manager will be likely to promote the engineer. In addition, business success is what Google needs, not some bullshit complexity for the sake of getting more complexity. Gone the days of "this project is so hard it must be solving big problems".
Eh, there's no doubt that white people in America enjoy a certain privilege, all other things being equal when compared to non-whites. However, that privileges diminishes substantially as one descends the economic ladder, until at the bottom most rungs whatever "white privilege" exists is almost entirely washed out by all the other variables causing misery and suffering, in general.
Could it be that you're mistaking actual equality of opportunity as equality of outcomes?

My employer is currently spending a MASSIVE amount on recruitment globally, and we're still having a hard time hiring especially in California. We've got ads on every social media platform and job network, we've got booths at every career day and conference, we've hired extra recruiters on contracts AND subbed out to boat loads of 3rd party recruiters, and I'm pretty sure we've even started producing video ads for YouTube.

Our offers are pretty generous I would say, not FAANG levels but way above "average" + good bonuses. We're not a "bad" company to work for either - high staff retention (some are nearing 20 years), good Glassdoor feedback, really generous with the WFH equipment (we've all got more monitors than we know what to do with), and I would say we're an almost universally liked brand all over the world. And despite all this, so far this year in our team we've managed to hire 2 people for the 8 vacant spots (with 6 more spots over 12 months). I hear from other teams it's basically the same story, they're even getting people quitting one week before they start due to a slightly better offer.

tl;dr - I think there are still companies out there making obscene offers to some candidates, especially the senior and above tier ones. I wish they would stop because I'd also like to hire some people.

A lot of this feels pretty superficial. I was kind of hoping to see more of an analysis of how Gibson uses foreign words for texture, rather than a simple glossary.

The essay misses one interesting detail: along with the Chatsubo, another restaurant Case visits in the first chapter of Neuromancer is "a teashop called the Jarre de The". Both names mean "pot of tea" -- one in Japanese, the other in French. The juxtaposition is more than coincidence.
> Crypto-assets have seemingly overnight generated massive demand for security technology that can reduce theft and scams online.
