>How can companies argue they're being hurt by competition from abandoned hardware that is just e-waste unless it is allowed to be recycled?

By pointing out that the products they are currently selling could be replaced by the reanimated spirits of the products they sold last year. Labor performed without a transfer of money to go along with it is not counted in the GDP or taxed, in modern mercantilism it is better for $100 to circulate in a day to produce a little value than for $1 to circulate in a week to produce much more value.
I do wish posts like this had absolute numbers (or did I miss some?). Is this a monolith served by a team of 5, 15 or 50?
>What could I do about it?

I believe if you do too many searches in a month they force you onto premium.
None of the ones I got ever did. They were immediately repurposed (along with all those free Computer City floppies).

Reusing the CDs was a little harder. ;)
This comment could cause lost revenue for these people. Take it down.
They explicitly state in their developer agreement not to use notifications for ads.
To me it seems this whole story is based on the "adrenaline junky" lawyer who is also an established liar. He could have just made up the juicy leak and then chicken out when he would have to deliver. So he sent an anonymous mail and later made up the FBI story. Lots of smoke and mirrors but in the end all of it could be explained by one guy with nothing to show for trying to get some fame through the journalist.
If you were ARM's competitors, and or otherwise wanted to see ARM weakened to open up supposed market opportunities, one of the best ways to do it would be to form a consortium ownership, in which ARM will suffocate. The added bureaucracy and distractions will damage ARM, it stands zero chance of coming back out of that arrangement as good of a company as it was going in (the group will endlessly bicker, as it erodes operationally they'll begin discussing changing the ownership arrangement, as some of the owners will want it to actually succeed - that move will come too late to matter much).
Seventeen years of experience on IT working starting as web developer using pearl CGI, PHP and HTML scripts for make transactions to DB platforms as MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL.
After that I have worked as application support on the Telecom sector with applications as Mobile2000 using DB2 Databases and Ericsson Mediation using Oracle DB.
For the last seven years I have worked as Splunk admin and developer: installing, configuring Splunk distributed environments (indexers, search heads, heavy forwarders, forwarders, deployment servers), configure apps by data normalization using Splunk CIM; developing apps from scratch including dashboards, reports and alerts all of those tailored according to the clients requirements based on their activities (healthcare, retail, restaurants and logistic.)
I heartily agree! I, too, want them to have brand power, but apparently, those pesky market forces drive advertisers to spam shoddy advertising all over and ruin their brands! What an unfortunate paradox advertisers find themselves in. Oh well, nothing can be done about it! I guess I'll have to work harder to figure out what's advertising, and what's crapvertising, and try to give credit to the brand for the ads, and ignore the crap.
This price won't drop, it isn't common enough and still in clinical trials.
Given that happened six years ago and multiple unofficial clients continue to exist without threat of ban, I'd suggest this one example cannot be extrapolated.

It is true that Whisper Systems runs the network and can gatekeep it as they see fit.

But your claim that Signal, as a matter of course, bans unofficial clients is objectively not true.
isn't it by design, given the freight companies own the railways?

in the UK it's the opposite, freight trains get pushed into sidings so passenger trains can overtake

(but then they don't get charged for causing delays)
The other day I ordered two rolling storage drawers from a brand called "Homz" off Amazon. Just today got a notification that my package from Walmart was delivered and upon opening they were Sterilite brand. Not mad, but just a little weird to think sellers label themselves as one brand, sell another, and potentially essentially use Walmart as a dropshipping service.

That aside, I agree on your point on reviews, but additionally lost confidence in their pricing of prime/next day products compared to non prime products. In many cases, it seems that they've just built into the products price the price of shipping and label it as "prime"/free shipping
Slowing down air currents doesn't necessarily decrease extreme weather. Air currents are a means of energy diffusion. Stopping up that process is more likely to just exacerbate local maxima. Stabilized local maxima can be useful for energy extraction while being quite inconvenient for just about everything else.

Energy races to heat. Heat tries to diffuse. If it can't, it's still there. Moving it still costs more energy.

Entropy always wins.
LinkedIn is surely one of the worst. They are constantly creating new categories of notifications, which you have to explicitly opt-out of. Guess what? If I didn't want any platform-initiated notifications (engagement hacks, not based on anyone trying to contact me or interacting with my content), then I probably don't want this new invented category of notification.
I appreciate having fewer humans to compete against for resources, including carbon emissions.
I can still remember when I was studying people on purpose took loans from the government because the interest on savings accounts was higher than the interest the government was asking for the loan itself. You could make a small profit!

Our government was quite happy to loan you money; every school year they would give the loan to me and I had to cancel it
You're probably still experiencing pull request #26 which was an actual trolling.
All you need to do is sneak in something in an update that gives people access to your server, or creates a vulnerability that allows them to get access.

The fact that itself hosted is actually a really huge concern, because this thing is sitting on your local network with no firewall between it and everything else that you run.

It takes very little to put a vulnerability in a piece of code, and unless you have a person combing every commit with a fine tooth comb, even the fact that it's open source cannot prevent that.

No single security measure is bulletproof. Being open source does not counteract the misaligned incentives.
The Django documentation is outstanding. Django was my first time doing web programming, and the docs both got me up and running in no time, and also repeatedly surprised me by having easy to understand answers to whatever obscure thing I wanted to know.
Throwing away a perfectly good device just because they want to sell you a new one seems like such a waste to me.

My last iPhone was out of support and had the replacement battery going bad before I went to the trouble of getting a new one. The worst thing is it was perfectly functional (aside from the dodgy battery which could have been replaced again) and I would still be using it if there was an option to not become part of some random botnet.

All I really need is to make a phone call once in a while, check the emails and surf the interwebs — don’t need a whole lot of processing power to do that.

But now everyone and their dog makes you use their crappy app if you want to use their services and they only support “supported” devices (even though they could easily run on the older hardware) so you’re boned if you want some semblance of a modern life.

Don’t even get me started on how long I use laptops which can be upgraded virtually forever…
It happens, no worries!
> That's always stuck with me -- the problem with American healthcare is the American interpretation of capitalism. Dude was living off of government research grants.

Do the drug companies in Europe do any different though?
I would also add that I don’t even like NextJS. I’m recommending it because it’s a better engineering choice. I’d much rather see it rewritten in Rust, but that’s irrelevant.
>mentioning all admins and developers in general on a PR is bad etiquette.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but why even is this? If you're trying to perform a pull request, is it not logical to ping the people who approve those requests?

Also, can you give an example of how one would perform a PR and follow this unwritten etiquette? I have only made a total of something like to PRs in GitHub, but I would like to stay on peoples good sides, if I can help it. I had no idea this was seen as some kind of obscenity.
That is not true, look up medical outcome data. Most of europe is far ahead or even with the USA.
> Better medical treatments and lack of wars are not child subsidies.

Lower education and religion is probably the biggest cause for these higher birth rates. In the victorian era, people would simply not get married if they didn't have the means to raise children, and they would be childless, and there was nothing strange about that. To give subsidies for everyone to have children comes from the post ww2 politics.

Disagreed. This garbage happens even with paid services, in fact the service in the article is a restaurant chain.
> You don't like to socialize with peers

No, I go to work for an employer and work with my peers. My peers are not my friends in most situations. Maybe for you that is the extent of your social life so you think peers have to be friends, but you mixing the two together is your work/life balance limitation being applied to those you want to hire.
Neither have I, but unless I was asked to deliver my interview evaluation before the lunch, you can bet any particularly good or noticeably bad flags during lunch would go into it.

Conversely, the couple times I had those "casual" lunches as a candidate, "I'm jetlagged" was a graceful way to lie out of the question why I wasn't eating much.
I never cheated but after being rejected by clueless recruiters (javascript != java) that only reacted to big company names (no matter the quality of work I did) I decided to scramble my resume and turn projects into paid gigs. Interview went just like the others. I felt like a criminal for a few hours after that though.
It's definitely annoying that users can't opt-in only to the types of notifications they want on installation, but Uber and Uber Eats are not guilty of what Starbucks is doing in the article (at least on Android); you can disable all notifications besides "Taking a Ride" and "Your Order" notifications.
For Android I think the only thing needed for this is for disabled apps to show as grayed out in the launcher instead of hidden. I wonder if that's information available to launchers or only available in the system app menu.
This is no cheating. When you want to succeed, the whole Universe conspires in order for you to achieve it.
If women in developing countries had financial freedom and access to easy and convenient birth control, then they would not have high birth rates.
It’s natural only in the sense of a selection bias: we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t so. Men aren’t the limiting resource here, but if women start having less than 2.1 kids on average, we eventually just disappear. This is just math, not related to economics, morality, or ideology.
It doesn’t require much backup. Spend a few days walking around Japan and just look around. Or compare American kids to kids in other countries, including countries that are a lot poorer, like Bangladesh where I’m from.

Raising red herrings about “core issues” is a refusal to engage with the problem. It’s not “poverty” that causes these behavioral problems, because many poor countries manage to control their kids. You’ve actually got it backward. Misbehaved kids and tolerance for classroom disruption deprives poor kids of a good education and perpetuates poverty.
Google has only ever shown that they care when enough people make a stink. Like crowdfunding medical care, this is not sustainable.

We really need a Youtube alternative.
That's good to hear! I might have to give it a go, then.

Honestly, I'm still a little conflicted in that, I don't know if it's "ethical" for me to block ads, if I myself use ads for one of my businesses to drum up sales. It seems kind of like a way to say "Others have to deal with this, but I don't." You know?

Either way, if it makes the browsing experience better, it might be worth it regardless.
New construction person in B.C. here.

We use them all the time and if they're not vented properly, we don't get occupancy. The HVAC designer or Engineer on the job wouldn't have it any other way.
Ask HN: Why is vertical video so popular?
It amazes me how suddenly everyone got so good at doing vertical video. TikTok just assumes everyone can do it perfect first time, but my first video was so cringey I had to delete it. How are people not making a lot of mistakes with it? I get it, the algorithms optimise for the best videos, but I image the vast majority of users are lurkers and don’t post!
I have a similar rule, but sometimes it's really hard to figure out (1) whether the app distinguishes between different types of notifications, and (2) where the setting is to turn off the new nuisance notification type.

IME, Lyft and Uber are the worst. For Lyft, their notification preferences are buried under "Privacy: Choose what data you share with us". Not the first place anyone would look!
It's a reminder that the details we argue over in the USA aren't even available to argue over elsewhere.

Though, we need to be willing to be cut up by the double edge of our blade.
No fan of Discord but from what I remember the functionality is opt-in and if the webhook is not configured it does nothing.

Among all the possible things to get worked-up about this seems like nothing (unless you are purist that considers including optional functionality to interface with a proprietary-service to be harmful).
interesting debate whether encryption should occur at the network vs. transport layer. on the one hand, encryption tends to have session state, so the transport layer makes sense but on the other i often feel i'd like to see a new version of IP where encryption is baked in as a primary design principle thereby eliminating all notions of leaks.
It's completely useless, don't waste your time. The UI is just as slow & terrible, all the dark patterns and ads are still there even if you pay.
I don't wanna be opted-in by default into any notification generated by any automated process.

only when a fellow human clicks (i.e. directly triggers) one action (intended to call my attention) should I be interrupted with a full notification by default.

all notifications generated in bulk, by an automated script/bot, or as a side-effect of a human action need to be explicitly activated by me before they can interrupt me.
Microwaves can vent if you hook up its vent to a duct, cheap construction doesn't do that if they can get away with it.
Linkedin is just the worst company ever doing stuff like that, I try to disable all their notifications and almost never engage with anything there (and I check the platform maybe 3-4 times a year max), and they continue to try to tell me some people more or less in my network are doing things I never cared about. God I hate this company.
Design choice should be "no need to trust". If not, nefarious motivations should be assumed, unless proven otherwise.
For nearly everything users should be able to pay once and then pay for updates. The model Jet Brains was forced into should be the norm and not the abusive model Apple has normalized and forced onto consumers
School killings. Behavior doesn’t get worse than that, and it’s off the charts in America.
I dont know if it is mentioned in the paper, but one important thing is the friction of paying, even if it is 1 cent. It works the other way around too, sometimes people pay to avoid more friction in the future (like in those pay and you will get no ads, priority in the queue, etc, kind of services)
I highly recommend installing Buzzkill for those on Android.

In addition to built-in per-channel settings, Buzzkill allows you to create rules to auto-dismiss or do certain actions depending on the title or description of the notification, using basic matching or regex.

It also gives you a nicer view of notification history, with more days and scrubbing across time if you ever want to revisit past notifications.

A major problem you run into is that you really want in-cab signalling at these speeds and you might well do speed signalling when you take a big upgrade like that. A lineside position lamp arrangement which indicates "Caution: The next signal is at: Caution: The next signal is at: Caution: The next signal is at: DANGER" blurring past at 140mph is too much for humans to reliably appreciate their import and react to it in an efficient fashion.

Trains on HS1 have TVM or equivalent, in-cab signalling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Voie-Machine#Cab_... - you can see at a glance that the computer says you're going 269kph, the limit here is still 270kph, but the signals indicate the limit ahead will be 220kph so you should be braking.
Can’t be the gun control that’s for sure
This looks like an interesting product. I plan to give it a try.

Two bits of feedback
1) please made the pricing simpler to find and be clear if this is one time fee or renewable license.
2) you order form is rendering a bit weird in my iPhone. It is like form is not acutely resizing properly.

In the case of Twitter this also permanently broke notifications for my account.
It now shows exactly 2 notifications all the time. Both tell me that someone I follow posted a tweet, as if I was too stupid to scroll down the feed myself.

But in return I don't ever get any other notification. The only way to find out whether someone answered my tweet is to manually dig through my own profile.

Needless to say, I don't use Twitter anymore. Because of this, and because 80% of content I saw was just a stream of pure negativity.
What's interesting is Diablo Immortal's monetization introduces a level of indirection compared to Diablo 3's Real Money Auction House (RMAH), and I think it's sufficiently distinct to avoid the same fate.

In D3, you could buy equipment directly from the RMAH. This undermined core gameplay mechanisms since any loot you were likely to find would be inferior to whatever was available for pennies in the store. So why bother running the dungeons at all?

In DI, you don't buy gear directly with money. Instead, you buy access to dungeons with guaranteed drops of high level items which are statistically infeasible to obtain any other way. But this still lends plausible deniability: you're not buying your gear, you're just buying a spin at the (very weighted) wheel.
Moxie has been pretty consistent on this point. He even gave a talk at C3 a couple years ago that was basically an hour long explanation for why he continued to think this way and that he hadn't changed his mind at all. https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11086-the_ecosystem_is_moving

Additionally, they're more or less required to go after trademark violations if they get too big.
I got the point. I'm not like that person. Most aren't.

I worked at Axon for several years. Frankly, I liked the company culture.

Rick's been pretty consistent over the years that he believes that technology can solve societal issues and that he sees things like Sci-Fi as something we need to invent. Rick's a Star Wars fan and there were several Star Wars oriented things in the past.

The engineering culture within the company itself is pretty open and a lot of things are debated quite openly. Perhaps too openly for some; not that it's something to complain about. The bigger challenge they face isn't new hardware ideas. It's their software offering that need to do well. They pivoted from TASERs to Bodycams and now are investing heavily in software. If they get that right, then it's going to be a bigger impact on policing quality/consistency/standards than just the Hardware.

Overall, I can say that it's been a good place to work. While not perfect (no company is), it's definitely pretty open to ideas and change.
Almost anything written by the inimitable LWN.net[1] — their feature-length articles, technical conference coverage, etc. Something that springs immediately to mind is their 7-part series[2] Linux kernel namespaces from 2013. The full series is linked to at the bottom of part 1:

- Namespaces in operation, part 1: namespaces overview — https://lwn.net/Articles/531114/ (2013)

You can see their entire kernel archives here[3]. And as to their excellent conference coverage, you can browse conferences by year[4]. Most recently, here's[5] their roundup of "Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF summit".

From programmer to pwner: My zero-day journey to Pwn2Own
A lot of people will find your questions obnoxious and irrelevant. Ask questions about the candidate's experience in past problems. Asking abstract questions to satisfy your own ego is a narcissistic trait.
The problem is that this also happens to paid products. You'd think that if you already pay money they should leave you alone, and yet there's a product manager, marketing or "growth" specialist that needs to justify their salary so even paid products aren't immune to that.
Yeah, pretty much. I forcefully shut my phone off, as I was unable to just get to the settings, and then was trying to DM the guy via Twitter to try and get it to stop. Eventually it did stop and he reached out to tell me what went wrong.
IRC is pretty scalable as-is, no?
Seems like a good candidate for an international consortium of industry and government to acquire ARM .
I could see this incentivizing someone to have a baby solely to get a boost on their applications, which I suppose is what you want. But it shouldn't be as big a boost as serving active duty in a war. I wonder how much of a boost the zero-point preference from https://www.fedshirevets.gov/job-seekers/veterans/veterans-p... would add? It doesn't add to your application score, but it counts as a tiebreaker between people with the same score.
But does that mean that American are the worst behaved in the world, or the most armed?
