Eh, maybe a few years ago when they were still releasing critically acclaimed shows left and right and not canceling them after season 2 all while not having the streaming market be mobbed by multiple competitors who also happen to stop licensing content to Netflix at the same time.

Netflix's problem was to cut quality to control costs _before_ they raised prices. If they had raised these prices while they were still the ascendant service I'm sure you are right and people would have grumbled while ultimately signing up. Then they could have cut costs slowly and most of their customers would not have noticed the boiling of the frog. As it stands they are driving their customers away at the exact moment that their competitors have finally gotten their house in order and opened their arms to Netflix's client base.

Like look at just AppleTV and HBOMax. AppleTV is dumping a massive amount of money into the aesthetics. Even the screensaver on the machine is this beautiful 4k resolution photos of landscapes, all while they are obviously not skimping on writes. HBO has been in the quality tv space for longer than Netflix has produced content _and_ has paired with Adult Swim(a channel that is unique enough in content to drive people to pay for packages just to get it, much like sports in the past) to get all their content. Both of these are cheaper than what Netflix is proposing as their monthly costs.

I'm not sure why Netflix thinks people will accept a more expensive, and worse product in the face of this competition
You can send campaign data that way, but to run any kind of effective campaign on Google Ads, you also need to send conversion data back if the user who clicks on your ad actually does the thing you want. You can either use GA or Google Ads own tracking option to set a cookie with a unique ID associated with that ad click and then send that to Google when they convert.

A privacy-conscious serverside GTM/GA implementation won't leak any personal data like IP address to Google, but there's no way to avoid sending the GCLID if you advertise.

A lot of companies are dependent on Google Ads for demand generation, so it's the reason they are sticking with GA even as the writing's on the wall.
> Sigh. I’m at the point where I could honestly care less what language/library someone knows.

I totally agree, but with the one exception - C++. The language (and its ecosystem) is so complex that I don't see someone without experience being able to be a lead developer of a large C++ project or to be able debug non-trivial bugs in C++ code. Debugging is one of my strongest skills, I can debug code written in many languages including C but when it comes to C++ I often helpless. I don't see myself being confident in C++ without spending years to master the language.

I use Pocket because the Kobo Libra 2 reader supports it.

What I would really like, though, is if i could manage my bookmarks with SyncThing and have good browser integration.

I've always wanted some kind of SyncThing Companion App that provides NextCloud-y features with ST as the backend.
GDPR is rarely enforced, we are still In a transition phase and many who start out choose to just ignore it to a degree.

I don't see how it's more costly or less profitable. Judging by the amount of lawsuits per capita I think it's way more likely to get sued in the US than Europe. And guess what's more expensive or complicated for a European company?
Maybe it's because so many things are either not working (web rtc, push), intentionally broken (PWA), or not available at all on safari.

From my point of view, safari is the IE of modern times.
Apple are the vendor-lock-in kings, in pretty much everything. For this reason, try avoiding using their computers and operating systems in favor of more flexible and configurable systems.
I hate ads as much as the next person.

But we've already had examples of ad-blocking companies doing deals with advertisers to whitelist URLs and I simply don't trust them not to on-sell my browser history.

So you may criticise Apple for their position but I would rather have a 90% effective ad-blocker and a guarantee that my privacy is intact. With so much data reselling going on it's simply not worth the risk.
The fact that Apple are still not yet blasted by anti-trust for their anti-competitive browser polices shows how diluted and dysfunctional that law became.
I lost interest in the article at the heading

> Apple's Long-Standing Policies Are Anti-Diversity

"Diversity" has become such an applause light (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/dLbkrPu5STNCBLRjr/applause-l...) that it conveys no useful information anymore except "I'm part of the cool kids group".

What the writer means is "this policy is BAD", which is a defensible opinion, but for all the effect they're getting here they might as well call the policy "heretical" or "un-American", as those terms were the equivalent in previous eras. But using "anti-diversity" to mean "I don't like" id trying to divert moral outrage at the subject, and this is about Paul Graham's DH0/DH1 level of argumentation (http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html), more commonly known as "ur a fag". Less of this, please.

Sure, there is lot's of things I care about privately. In fact I absolutely love programming languages and it took me a while to separate my excitement from my professional work.

Your family comparison is super weird. There is no love and loyalty between employer and employee. The relationship is antagonistic by nature. If I find a better job, I am out. If they don't need me, they will kick me out. They pay me the minimum amount they can get away with and try to squeeze out the maximum value. They don't care about me as a human being and they should not, that is business. (It is the job of labor laws and unions to make the interaction more humane, I don't believe in idealism.)

Of course, I still have professional pride and given the choice will try to do a good job but for me being a professional also means being emotionally detached from it. It is just business. I work for money. The meaningful stuff in my life happens outside of my employment.

Hot take: migrations are useless

In modern world of SAASes and connectivity, you use multiple "databases" and such (queues, identity providers) anyways, and the world got connected enough to not need to have a local db most of the time.
After a few hours of intense activity, I'm usually very hungry.

But when I walk in the mountains for full days (8-12 hours per day), I don't have much of an appetite, especially after two days. I almost have to force myself to eat a real lunch and dinner, though I tend to frequently eat small quantities of dried fruits.
> AdGuard instead works by submitting rules to Safari which is significantly better for privacy and performance.

This is the "Manifest v3" model that Chrome is trying to implement and has been called out by HN as being extremely anti-privacy and a scheme to cripple ad blockers?

You're putting this up as a comparable approach?

I’m a backend engineer. I can do frontend, have done it, and know my way around. However, I have no eye for design and all my frontend looks like shit. So I stay away from it.

>Does this finding hold promise for that ever-elusive diet pill?
I wonder what will go wrong this time with side-effects. Maybe overeating rebound after it gets out of the system. That would resemble natural compensation of calories after activity is finished.

From personal experience I recommend saturated fat (mostly from beef tallow) as an anti-hunger molecule. With as little as possible omega-6 in the diet. And carnivore. Works wonders. My satiety base level is now set so that I get down to ~12% bf in a reasonable time when I'm above that.
Could also bulk up to a powerlifting competition on this diet no problem when necessary.
The article does an incredible job as painting Apple as a dystopian corporation that is strangling the web with forced WebKit, but spends so little time actually refuting the statement "if WebKit weren't mandated, Chromium would take over". It pretty much comes down to "if Apple were forced to open their platform, they would spend money improving Safari, and user's wouldn't switch because Apple has a gorillian dollars". The author seems to ignore that Google also has a gorillian dollars, plus the added inertia of Chromium itself, plus the pervasive network of Search and YouTube that would shove ads for Chrome down the throats of users. Money alone, even billions, cannot create a competitive browser engine. Microsoft tried. I'm not sure that, if you actually cared about browser diversity, that forcing Apple to open up iOS and then hoping they don't mismanage Safari trying to compete with Chrome is a losing bet.

I think that law enforcement is treated as an exception by the GDPR, see the link. I am not sure that a police database would be regulated by the GDPR, by 'virtue' of being related to law enforcement.

How many TWh crypto consumed? Would one be able to build Egyptian pyramids with this amount of energy?
Since its not clearly stated otherwise, this blog post appears to be written by a manager working for Microsoft on Internet Explorer Edge - which puts a lot of the points under a peculiar light.
The very fact that such exchanges exist kind of abnegate the promise of crypto.

Coinbase is asking for this information for very rational reasons ... the crypto space is re-learning all the problems that pop up when it comes to money and implementing regulations ad hoc.

There are definitely arguments to be made one way or another about such regulations either government or industry sanctioned ... but what we can't ignore is that money is important, and usually needs something more than what crypto offers in terms of practical integrity.
Yes, just tried bulking on a 6 week program and was very impressed with carnivore.

The article mentions that a substance (lactose-phenylalanine) appears
after exercise in several animal studies. There's a suggestion of a
strong connection of this to reduced appetite. But this isn't
explained and more importantly there's no hypothesised mechanism. Why
would it be a metabolic advantage to reduce hunger after exertion?
Maybe it creates a buffer-period. Otherwise, common sense/intuition
would say we feel hungrier after exercise. What gives?
Hah, from the lines (after following the link from that blog post to the Guardian article to the PDF of the insurance "union"[1]

> Risikoförderung, das heißt die Aneignung von Risikokompetenz, ist ein zentraler Baustein der Sicherheitsförderung, auch in der frühen Bildung. Wenn man möchte, dass Kinder lernen, sich sicher zu verhalten, müssen sie lernen mit Risiken umzugehen. Ohne Risiko keine Sicherheit. Das Zulassen von Risiken und Wagnissen gehört ebenso zu einer kindgerechten Sicherheitsförderung wie das Reglementieren und Verbieten. Es ist deshalb insbesondere in der frühen Bildung erforderlich, den Kindern Risiken, zum Beispiel im Rahmen der Bewegungsförderung, anzubieten, die sie grundsätzlich mit Hilfe ihrer Kompetenzen bewältigen können (Abbildung 1). Die Einbeziehung von Risiken und Wagnissen darf aber nicht dazu führen, dass Verletzungen der Kinder in Kauf genommen werden.

deepl'ed:
> Risk promotion, i.e. the acquisition of risk competence, is a central component of safety promotion, also in early education. If you want children to learn how to behave safely, they have to learn how to deal with risks. Without risk, there is no safety. Allowing risks and hazards is just as much a part of child-centered safety promotion as regulating and prohibiting them. It is therefore necessary, especially in early education, to offer children risks, for example in the context of physical activity promotion, which they can basically master with the help of their competencies (Figure 1). The inclusion of risks and hazards must not, however, lead to the acceptance of injuries to the children.

the blogger understood "Insurance companies demand!".

Ah, nice trope in the making.

A few months back my wife told me something about polio that I never knew... Polio emerged as an epidemic after the introduction of sanitation. The reason is that polio doesn't have such a terrible effect on infants, so the entire population has been exposed to it as babies and had developed immunity. So while sanitation reduced a lot of other horrible diseases that come from contaminated water, it prevented the population from getting this natural immunity in childhood, leading to an epidemic. And the people who suffered the worst during that time were the more affluent people who would have had better sanitation available to them. Because even though your neighborhood might be clean, you simply couldn't avoid coming in contact with polio in the great mixing bowl of a town or city.

Pretty good comparison, i see it the same way, Netflix is a CDN, specialized on delivering Movies, but pretty bad a searching ;)
It appears the author works for Microsoft, a trillion dollar company that gave up trying to compete against Google and finally just started bundling a Chrome fork.
You cannot say "it works fine" if you've ever used uBlock origin.
They aren't random, and they're not doing this for random reasons. They're an industry leading exchange acting rationally at least from some perspective. Which means there are at least some practical reasons why 'real people' and 'addresses' etc. might be useful in financial transactions.
I'd rather use Copilot than including yet another library just to avoid writing one function.

I like the format of your comment (leaving aside the political agenda):

"This is the organization. And this is the idea."

All I see on the sociopolitical HN threads is an avalanche of brilliant ideas. But ~nobody is organized, is trying to organize, or even is theorizing about it. It just feels so empty and futile, makes me weep deep inside.

You can use a decentralized exchange like Bisq but liquidity is horrible. Hopefully more people make the switch.
Or the EU keeps acting as it always does in playing the northern hemisphere's whore. They simply agree in that, fill their own pockets with a share they get from the deal and sell the common people.

Ursula von der Ehrm-Leien always takes care that the most precious people in the EU (herself) are treated well and don't have to fear any political decisions while the common people have to excuse for every minor issue. She, Uschi, is well above the salary level where you don't have to face any consequences and fear law enforcement.
Does anybody know in which countries they are doing this?

Anyhow, I think it is not as bad as it sounds.

If you use Coinbase like a "crypto bank" that does the crypto stuff on your behalf - then yes, this makes things even more annoying than using a fiat bank.

But the way I understand the announcement, it means nothing changes when you use Coinbase simply to buy Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. After you moved the coins to your wallet, Coinbase is not involved anymore, and you can do whatever you want in a decentralized fashion.

Overall, my image of Coinbase has gone down quite a bit lately. It seems they are not embracing decentralization and just hope to build a strong crypto company. One that makes the more money, the more centralized this industry will become. Reminds me of AOL. And of Yahoo under Marissa Mayer.

A big indicator for this is that they have so little focus on the Lightning Network. That reminds me of how Yahoo tried to use their portal to become a media company rather than an internet company. And then Google came along and got way bigger than Yahoo. By letting people explore the open web. I remember a Google employee once saying "Our goal is that the user leaves our website as soon as possible. Because that means they found what they were looking for.". Coinbase seems to not have that mindset. They seem to bet on becoming "the crypto everything company". A bank, a marketplace, a social network, a browser .... did this "We will do everything" ever work for a young company? But maybe it will now, that so much money flows into tech companies? The market cap of Coinbase at IPO was 50x bigger than that of Yahoo.

It will be interesting to watch this company progress.
At the same time, from a consumer perspective, this sacrifice to internal political pressures won't hamper your usage of the product. It's not like if international borders were the most important annotation on a map for everyday use.

Not exactly what you are describing but there are some sites like runrepeat.com that are basically a database of running shoes that let you compare stats and check aggregated reviews on whether they fit true to size etc along with reviews for some of them. Before I found that site it's was basically a crap shoot to figure out the subtle differences between seemingly 50 different models of slightly different shoe from each manufacturer but that site really helps me narrow it down and find similar shoes to stuff I already like.

You might find some 50+ software engineers embedded in industry verticals, usually moved their from other parts of the company after having proved adept at IT skills or cross-hired as seniors from the software consulting industry, usually skilled in a legacy tech the company uses (Cobol and RPG used to be the prime examples).

A medium to large software company never hires 45, a small software company almost never hires 35+.

As for the "bootcamp graduades", there is huge variance in the outcomes, but the median result is very disappointing.

Thank you rui314. There is a lot of good information collected in that issue.
No. And it's a shame that so much ignorance has crept into it.

Microsoft aggressively bullied OEMs like Compaq into not pre-installing Netscape on their computers. They made co-advertising deals worth tens of millions and access to internal programs contingent on it. Bill Gates back then was pretty ruthless when it came to competition.
Personally, I prefer "What do you think about extracting this into a separate function?"

Unlike in any of your examples, the subtext is: "I anticipate you had reasons for doing it the way you did and I am open to listening to them." It engages the author on the same footing, leaves the door open for discussion but still communicates your intent in a straightforward manner.
Thank you, I learned something today already
The cynic in me couldn't resist paraphrasing the intro in my mind into something truly horrible, so here it is in full exaggerated glory for HN's amusement:

> Julie, an organic chemist, was doing drug research at a lab. Her boss, Gordon, was a well-regarded scientist but also a known shauvinist with a huge ego.

> One day she walked into Gordon’s office to ask for his feedback on the draft of a research paper they were "co-" authoring but which was basically her own independent work. Gordon told her that it was the “worst piece of rubbish” he’d ever seen, and "that's the problem with letting women in research".

> Julie realised that if she wanted to get published she'd have to suck up to Gordon and make him feel in charge again, so she did. “Gordon you magnificent beast, your word is gospel, and I'm just a lowly piece of skirt, vying in a man's world. Lend me your ineffable wisdom, oh exalted one, so that I may get published under your wing, and praise thy name forward unto the ages, amen".

> Gordon’s mood seemed to instantly improve. He looked the paper over, pointing out "problems" to be addressed and offering generic ideas on the spot, completely ignoring months of literature review and careful experimentation which warned against them.

> Julie went on to publish the paper in a top journal because it had Gordon's name on it, and Gordon is also friends with the editor. She even received a major award for it.

> (This is a retelling of a true story from the writings of the preeminent psychotherapist Dr. David Burns, whom Julie had to visit many, many times.)

P.S. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry.
