Some people just want third-party assurance for CYA purposes. I’ve had to go through “security reviews” for apps submitted to third party platforms. One of them told me upgrade our web server because we had a vulnerability. That vuln was in some module that wasn’t even enabled. I explained this, and they still demanded we upgrade. So I just turned off the version identifier. Their scan passed. (I did upgrade nginx later anyway.)
Hearing aids are expensive. I read back then that the first iPhones were capable of lots of volume cuz Jobs had lost hearing. Germany had a limiter I thought. Cheaper to crank the volume. Or, just get their (grand)kids to stop whispering all the time /s.
Worth noting attempts at non-profit search engines are not new. In 2015, Wikimedia Foundation attempted to start one called the “Knowledge Engine” using at least $250,000 from a grant. Wikipedia likely started the project as a response to Google’s use of “knowledge panels” based on Wikipedia Creative Commons license alongside search results in 2012, which reduced traffic to Wikipedia.

Also worth noting that Google is a significant donor (and now enterprise customer) of Wikipedia, but unclear if this had any impact of Wikipedia’s choice not to continue the project.

Recompiling a browser is a pretty heavy lift. DuckDuckGo allows one text box to be rerouted to a different search engine with a "bang".

You could also build your own, most search engines have a specific pattern to how they encode the search term in the URL. Although, I suppose that doesn't support auto-complete

> Ferrari is virtually unchanged since 1947, Porsche is still using exactly the same since 1963. Dom Perignom has never touched a pixel in their logo since their begginings in 1921, same as Dior since 1948.

Porsche didn't update their font (or really not much if they did) but they did update the Porsche crest a few times (the one they slap on the hood / rims / keychains / headrest / etc.) though, but to make it better: at every change they actually made the "Porsche" letters on the crest be closer to the original Porsche font (font which was incredibly modern for the time when it came out: I've got a leaflet from a Porsche 356 from 1955 or so and the font hasn't aged at all).

I think this is a bit misleading. Chrome gets access to various data to enable various features -- for example to pass your location to the website (when you allow it to do so). Browsing history is used e.g. to power URL auto-completion.

This doesn't mean that this data can be used to inform Google Search ranking. That would be very shady and potentially illegal. I work for Google, and even though I do not work specifically on Search ranking, this doesn't sound like something that could be happening.

This is too much even. Of course it's better if the taste doesn't change. But there is a huge I've already bought this before in my buying patterns. Unless something becomes unserviceable I'll probably keep buying it.
This isn't what you wanted, but I've been using the Podcast Republic app as a way to organize and listen to my (usually free) audiobooks. It's android only, so only on-device and not on PC. Its audiobook support is a bit obscure, it relies on creating what they call a "virtual podcast" based on the filesystem. But once you find it it's pretty simple and fits into their UI, and you can tag / catalog your audiobooks as much as you want.

I also like its listening UI. It remembers where I last stopped and starts playing a configurable number of seconds before, remembers playback speed per book/podcast, remembers audio settings per book/podcast, has a car mode. I like it much better than Audible's UI.

Like I said its organizing UI is also nice, although I use it less, I don't collect audiobooks on my mobile, due to the limited internal capacity.

These are just the word marks, not the full logos.

I mocked up a comparison of the logos (Microsoft/Airbnb/Spotify/Pinterest rarely use their word marks without the accompanying icon) and they start to retain a _little_ more personality, at least for the tech comparison.

It still seems fair to say they're more bland than past iterations, though. The theme is ”[optional icon] + sans serif word mark”, and it's a good example of “small m minimalism” — a kind of unthinking collective march toward an absence of detail — touched on by The Cultural Tutor in this thread:

>Conclusions

>The stock of human capital plays an important role in economic growth and prosperity (e.g. Bishop 1989, Toivanen and Väänänen 2013, Aghion et al. 2017). Cognitive scientists studying population trends in measured intelligence have tended to emphasise the role of factors affecting the supply of skills. Our analysis suggests that the mix of skills in a society also evolves in response to the society’s demands and suggests the value of economic reasoning in the study of population trends in measured intelligence.

>> One thing I do have to mention though is that the workflow in Lisp allows me to create these support libraries much faster than I can in other languages.

I'm at that stage in my lisp journey (~18 months) where i know enough to be dangerous to others around me, i.e. i'm still a lisp n00b but have completed a few lisp & scheme books and written enough projects that i feel fairly productive. BUT i haven't reached, never mind come out the other side of, the "trough of disillusionment" yet. So everything lisp is unreasonably tainted with a positive glow in my mind.

TL;DR i still think lisp is pretty awesome. It's my newest hammer and everything looks like a lisp-shaped nail these days. So i have to be deliberate and careful not to over-use lisp but it's totally changed how i write js for example. It's infected my brain.

Here's the thing - that workflow statement by the OP is a fair chunk of the attraction to lisp for me. Before lisp i "knew" what a REPL was - i've been using python since i switched wholesale from Perl in the 00's, i thought you couldn't teach me anything new about REPLs, even quasi-REPLs like Jupyter were entirely familiar and "basic" to me. If you're a lisper, you know i was wrong about that, if you're not a lisper you're probably wondering what's the big deal.

The other chunk - and i'm only really scratching the surface so far - has been macros. I think so far i prefer the non-hygenic type, but i haven't gone through Let over Lambda yet (although the book is on my bookshelf and is only 2 titles away from being started)

For me, lisp opened my eyes to a way of working that i just wish i could fully replicate in other languages. Lisp has made me re-appreciate python and js in different ways now.

If you want a really short version - Brett Victor's famous inventing on principle talk sums it up for me (he was using JS there, so there is hope...)

I use m4b-tool[1], tone[2] and audiobookshelf[3] together with an LG G5 H850 smartphone[8] with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus Module for Audio Only and I am pretty happy with this config. For Music I use Navidrome[5] and Substreamer App[7]. Maybe I'll try out Jellyfin[4] or maybe Plex[6], but I really don't wanna go closed source.

I also thought about writing something self hosted in C# to have ONE solution for audiobooks, podcasts and music and started a small private project, but this will take a while until it is ready to release something...

You may ask: Why an LG G5 H850? Well, its relatively small and cheap (about 50 - 80 bucks used) it has an audio Jack, USB-C, you can change the battery, it can hold up to 2TB microSD storage, has an HiFi Plus module for audio enthusiasts and a descent screen. Besides that it can run lineage os...

I feel the same in general. I was naive enough trying to convince them but it turned out in most of the cases I was wasting my time: they either deliberately took it wrong or simply could not comprehend it at all. In neither case there wouldn't be any point trying to discuss. So virtually I stopped reading or replying on most sites, HN is one of the few I haven't stopped yet, but I feel it won't last long too.
Consultants pretend to audit and companies pretend they're being audited.

The company is happy to say "we did it, we're secure! Nothing to worry about!"

The consulting firm is happy to cash checks.

One clue that a company is more interested in pretend work than real work is they start hiring consultants. No offense to consultants intended by the way. Most of the economy is pretend work.
Yes, the entire purpose of karma is to encourage people to do whatever makes the number go up and not do whatever makes the number go down. On HN the assumption seems to be that people will tend to upvote civil, substantive, thought provoking comments and downvote everything else, but in reality all such systems tend towards a path of least resistance to reward - people will do what's easiest to gain karma, not what's best, and what that is tends to be extremely context sensitive.
I respect that. I guess my point is "Grow and change with a decent understanding of what the present state enables"

A search engine like Google isn't just a search engine as the author describes it. It is a very integral part of the economy of the internet and just labelling a simplistic interpretation of the present state as "Evil" with an academically poor write up of what a viable alternative is does little good.

There is a big difference between rebuttals by an expert for a post and general commentary.

This is specifically prevalent in the financial information space. Last week the news broke that the Twitter deal won't close.

Naturally, everyone who thinks of themselves as relevant needed to comment on it (myself included) Some people with valuable information others with less valuable information.

On Twitter / Stocktwits / Discord / Telegram commentary and rebuttal merge which makes it really hard to follow the threads.

On WSJ, Seeking Alpha, etc, the UGC articles are very long and don't encourage a proper discourse.
The reason WSB on Reddit was so successful (14M users) was the simple fact that they encourage an online discussion that is weighted by quality.

>I feel that this is an unjust comparison

It is not a comparison, unjust or otherwise. A union is precisely a monopoly on labor. That is the point of a union. If you google, this is a common definition in economics on what a union is.

Are you claiming a union is not a monopoly on labor? Are you claiming that this labor monopoly does not have features of a monopoly? Upsides and downsides?

In fact, in order for unions to exist in the US, they had to be specifically exempted from anti-trust laws. The original anti-trust law, the Sherman Act, was used against unions, so future laws had to specifically allow the monopoly of a union.

So yes, a union is exactly and legally and economically a monopoly.

> Unions increase economic equality

You keep parroting this claim, despite my just having shown you multiple papers clearly demonstrating that this is simply untrue. Those people now unemployed in those papers, those not getting jobs in the future because unions stagnate growth - are they now better off and more equal?

Unions change who gets what, at major cost to many people, making some of them incredibly poorer.

There is simply no free lunch here. Forming a monopoly on labor will have effects - getting more money for those in the monopoly is not going to raise all boats - and that monopoly and those in it will try to hold their income, at the expense of immigrants, of those outside the group, of society at large.

So they pass costs on to consumers as well as pushing those out of work that would compete with them. This is pretty straightforward - and demonstrated in the literature as I posted.

So yes, unions can raise pay for those in it, may have some ripple effects to others, but you cannot ignore basic economics and what losses are caused elsewhere.

If you're going to ignore well sourced, peer reviewed evidence, and not provide solid counter evidence other than your continued opinion, there is really little left to discuss.
Maybe they don't want copycats.

While monetization is certainly a great thing for a group of people wanting to go after things they and others enjoy, it's also exactly what incentivizes people to game the system and pretty much what brought us into our current place of spam, spam more spam and barely any way to discover things that are actually good.

I tend to think the quality of the content tends to be better when people don't think about stuff like user retention or subscriptions, but rather how it will actually reach people that care. Good search/curation is a key component for that.

Of course such a world free of implicit monetization will require it to be explicit (Patreon-style), but that should massively realign incentives.

It's an arms race, but this is mostly a question of rate limiting account creation, assigning a trustworthiness score to different accounts, some network analysis to detect coordinated accounts, and having some trusted accounts (run by the project) that can help double check results. After an account loads poisoned data, you can detect this after the attack (user reported spam), and then block (or probably shadow ban) the malicious account.
It's much harder to hide the fact that you have closed an account completely and much easier to put in a periodic check that the account still exists.

The difficulty with ransomware is that—without object lock—you would need to check that all data is still valid. That is usually going to be very difficult to do and any heuristic checks are liable to miss some cases.

On the other hand, checking that an account is still extant is easy and, since that's an operation that should not be undertaken without a whole oversight process, you can significantly limit who has the permission to do so.
