This would work against a lot of people I would imagine.

If someone has a keen eye for manipulation they might perceive this approach as deceptive though.

Still if instead of pushing a narrative you get the buyer to discover their fears within themselves I think this would be a good approach.

I guess like everything else the solution has to be tailored to the problem for maximum effect.
>Google's average employees aren't quite as smart as public perception portrays.

Intelligence is a funny thing. People can be the world’s foremost expert in whatever the heck, don’t matter for my point, and be utterly incompetent in every other area of their life if someone else is picking up for them. Think of career scientists giving humiliating public speeches for the first time since high school (industry conferences notwithstanding). That’s not their specialty and they have no reason to be talented at public speaking if they’re not trained in public relations and speaking. Don’t expect a Googler to be able to tie their shoes, drive a car, navigate public transportation or experience empathy just because they get high scores in leetcode. They’re not dependent skills and assuming they are is a sure sign of insufficient critical thought.

As far as your solution goes, hard pass. Providing support should be required by law. If you run a service that people depend on for any of the requirements of modern life then you should provide real live human support 24/7/365 or be liable for treble damages and equal fines for all harm this corner cutting costs. If my power goes out my electric company contacts me and tells me how they’re responding before I can even dig out their number. Google is equally important and the sooner people accept the new reality these technocrats have created for us the better off we’ll all be.
Oh, I thought the action was about what they had been doing in the past. The wheels of justice can move pretty slowly, especially if ones legal team is doing their best to slow things down.

Ask HN: Who is building Mapcarta.com? (an OpenStreetMap viewer)
Mapcarta.com is an excellent map based on OpenStreetMap (using Mapbox), Wikipedia and Geonames, but I can't find who is working on it or any way to submit bug reports/feedback.

Is there a community around the site somewhere or are they trying to stay private? I'd love to help out if possible.
What exactly is your problem with Microsoft? Are you just an edgy "I use Linux guy?" I use Linux too, it's my daily driver. But when you're managing office workers and sales people that have to interface with regular people inside and outside the org, your OSS utopia falls apart. I'm making some assumptions here, but clearly, you don't work in a space where the average person (non tech) needs to collaborate. You drive a car. I drive a school bus.

You're confusing money with currency. Bitcoin is excellent money, the best there is. Currency? not so much due to current fluctuations. With adoption that will subside, so will the yields, and it may start behaving more like currency (or not). It's quite possible it becomes money but not currency with something like a stable coin taking place of currency. That doesn't mean that it won't try or won't make it. When you try to take on the entire finance system of the world, it's obviously going to take time and we may not see the fruit's of Satoshi's labor in our lifetime. The last block is not mined until 2140.

For anyone else reading these comments, HN will not let me reply to all of your as I'm posting too fast. I would love to reply to every comment here. All very valid concerns and criticisms, although misplaced, deeply misunderstood. I don't blame you. If I were a skeptic of something, I would probably not put 1000 hours of educating myself on that subject. I am not here to convince anyone of anything. Don't buy bitcoin. In fact, buy the short ETF out (today?) if you are so convinced it's not going anywhere positive. I really don't care. It would be great if more people were less emotional about Bitcoin just because it has monetary properties and seems like a ponzi, and actually took the time to think about it more deeply - but I understand that you're busy and would rather dismiss it. Fine by me.

I'm sorry but it's not accurate to call the PLAN larger than the US Navy unless you're just counting the number of ships. The USN has twice the displacement of the PLAN.

The USN is by far and away the strongest blue water navy with the capability to operate multiple independent strike missions in any region of the world simultaneously, including contested waters like the South China Sea. The PLAN is barely able to support missions outside of its EEZ, and has outfitted their newest carrier with EMALS despite having a oil-powered turbine engine, which basically means they're not able to launch more than 2-3 aircraft an hour without shutting down their entire onboard systems to recharge the supercapacitors. In contrast, a US supercarrier can launch it's entire flight wing of ~90 aircraft in 30-40 minutes.

The PLAN has 3 carriers. The US has 11 supercarriers and 9 assault carriers.

> Did you find some good content that advocated for positions you disagreed with on that topic?

I read a lot of stories and commentary around that time from across the political spectrum, but this wasn't something I had very firm positions on beyond "Russia very likely did attempt to interfere with the election".

I believed (and still do) that there was enough evidence to justify the investigation into Russian interference in the election and what role Trump and his campaign had in that, but yeah, there were a lot of accusations flying around, presented as fact, well before the reports were out and I do disagree with that. Since the investigations didn't find that there was no collusion, only that there was not enough evidence for criminal charges the situation hasn't improved much either. There are still folks who claim Trump was proved innocent of any collusion which is inaccurate and those who say the evidence uncovered only supports the accusation that collusion occurred which might be true, but doesn't change the fact that even in total it doesn't amount to anything strong enough for charges. "Innocent until proven guilty" means that Trump isn't guilty of criminal conspiracy.

There is a ton of evidence that they targeted kids. Including lawsuits which they settled.

Just focused on advertising alone here is NyTimes summary with link to MA lawsuit.

They fired the first ad company who suggested reasonable adult oriented ads and directed the new one to run youth focused ads and youth targeting. Cartoon network, kids websites, teen magazines.

I don't believe you can brush aside those decisions by just calling the company 'terrible.'

True you can never look into someone's brain and know their intent. But the evidence is pretty clear.

If we give everyone a pass like this because of terrible management or incompetence we'd never hold anyone accountable.

You can't really call them morons, they're normal people, no doubt with lots of skills. I suspect the final analysis is they're under the spell of a cult of personality. They actually believe Elon Musk's bullshit, just like lots of people do. Look at the hordes of people fanboying over Musk, it's pretty obvious that lots of people at Tesla would have to be true believers.

I'm not even so sure all the people that got fired will immediately realize their mistake.
> Tailscale's ACLs are much, much better than iptable rules (for instance: they > have built-in unit testing).

Humility helps a lot on the internet- the important thing about iptables is that it runs on millions, possibly billions of machines. Production systems that don't have unit tests but run at scale aren't worse than systems which are newly introduced but have fairly unknown implications.

Yes, it's called RAD game tools, recently aqui-hired by Epic. If you're not familiar with RAD, they're some of the best programmers in the game tools industry.

Jeff Robers and Casey Muratory used to do a podcast called the Jeff and Casey show where they'd occationally discuss software products shipped by RAD.

One such episode details the maintenance of a garbage collector RAD shipped, which Jeff denounces as way too complicated and (IIRC) not worth the developer time or CPU cycles.

Complexity bad.
I started interviewing people (across multiple different cities) for a new book I'm writing, and I'm shocked at how out of touch journalism has become.

I expected progressive / left leaning answers from late 20s/early 30s people. On issues like healthcare/marijuana the answers were what I expected. On issues of dating/love/gender roles, I found a far more traditional response from both men and women (including several who LGBTQ+). A total 180 from what my online reading has led me to believe.

Also, and my sample size is only ~30 so far, a total distrust/antagonism towards many feminist ideas. A common answer I received was: "I love the push for equal opportunities for men and women, but I desire [traditional gender role] and I dislike having to justify it to myself."

> it probably is futzing with global variables

The opposite is true in my experience. Loops working over variables local to a function is a lot easier to reason about then a series of intricately intertwined lambdas, if they share state. If everything you do is functional then a series of pipelines might be alright, but it might not. If the functions are spread all over the place it can take a larger amount of mental load to keep all the context together.

Code should permit local reasoning, and anytime that is obscured, rather than helped by, abstractions, we incur additional cognitive load.

Is the term MCP synonymous with "tier 1 PoPs" (mentioned elsewhere in other cloudflare blogs from time to time) or are the two terms referring to different things?

This is not a problem and it's not exclusive to America. It's human nature for concern to be correlated to social proximity. Not sure what your issue is to be honest but it appears you just have an issue with anyone who doesn't care about the things you appear to.

I would assume this is what they do. Places like Discord and Facebook will usually cache it on their CDN and display the image from their CDN.

Even if I direct link an image on discord, it essentially just rehosts that image on their CDN and displays it from there. Discord even allows that cached image to be hotlinked on any site. I have seen people use it like an image host for things like their "signature" on forums.

Ask HN: Why isn't biometric (face, finger) login used more for exploits?
I just saw that the latest iphone update allows you to unlock the phone with a facemask on, which got me thinking: I'm surprised there haven't been more published exploits that make use of this attack vector. While Apple might have the means to make this relatively robust, I'd suspect the fractured android ecosystem would lead to a lot of half-baked implementations, and the literature on the fragility of ML models w/r/t adversarial input would suggest that even Apple's model should still be susceptible. I recall there being a lot of hubub over police having the tools to crack iOS encryption, which would seem like a harder task than fooling a facial recognition algorithm. How are there so few exploits for facial recognition login floating around?
I actually filled out a survey from Dropbox seemingly years ago about this feature!

I’m going to disagree, I think the model they have is both familiar to me as a potential user and priced such that, if it is even slightly better than GitHub, it’s a no-brainer. I wouldn’t pay extra for analytics, though, it just sounds like another thing to check.

The business's goal is to minimize theft of their products. Society's goal is to prevent theft. It seems like those goals are in alignment with someone in loss prevention who enjoys the thrill of successfully catching shoplifters.
