We could imagine a paid social network designed to not engage in this toxic attention-grabbing behavior. I guess such a network would get less attention... I mean, that's almost a condition of success, right? But then, has it "gotten traction?"

Perhaps social interaction could be thought of as sort of like food, and social media could be thought of as sort of like junk food -- maybe this paid social media site could be thought of as a less-damaging form of junk food. The metric for success could be something like <user satiation>/<wasted time>.
On a more general note, I wonder how much enforcement of patents will be rendered moot by two trends: 1) the rise of algorithms (which can't be patented) in replacing physical IP, and 2) the rising practice internationally of IP theft, esp in China?

AFAIK, China has paid no price (legally) to date for stealing tech from others and disregarding patents/copyrights. What does that bode for IP enforcement if the #2 economy on Earth largely ignores it? Does this suggest we can expect enforcement of IP protection to fade everywhere someday soon?
We have a lot of those, they cant just make something up. If the reason for refusing is dubious it stacks with similar requirements. Dutch law also instructs to be a well behaved employee and a well behaved employer without any written specification.
I am confused because I thought it was an infrared telescope?

Are these images as received, or are they frequency shifted post processed into the visible range?
It sure does. They enabled 10min videos, and at this point it's a meme that creators are getting roasted for doing part 2's. (I.e. breaking up a long video into multiple parts for no reason.)

Not only that, but lots of tiktok accounts are literally just reuploading full youtube videos from channels like Kurzgesagt. Not happy about that, but it's also a sign of a successful platform. Facebook had the same situation going on.

Most of my tiktok watching is exactly the same as yours on youtube, by the way. My educational playlist is at 242 entries, whereas the lol playlist is around 160.

Stick managers on the code reviewer for holding up the sprint/release. Like, ask for status updates hourly on them.

If there's no obvious reward for code reviewing as opposed to implementation, create one.
This has always been a thing. The only real threat is that Google reviews are less moderated than other platforms (who absolutely do take down fake or questionable reviews).

Not parent but I read this as an answer to GPs question: “what coercive power does Uber wield that allows them to exploit workers all while non-exploitative employers have struggled to find anyone to hire?”

Hiring during a recession is not in and of it self any more exploitative then hiring during an economic up swing. However, during a recession you can easier get away exploitation which you wouldn’t have gotten away with if the labor conditions were better and the jobs were plenty. This is what Uber exploited.

I will add to that that Uber also played with the psychology of their workers, exploited addictive behavior by “gamifying” the work. This creates a cognitive dissonance among the worker which “tricks” workers into accepting conditions they otherwise wouldn’t have.
Personally, I don't think Blazor is really finished, I wouldn't use it in production. It's more of an example of what can be.

Ultimately, I don't think 5MB blobs are all that bad for web applications that need the enormous complexity these libraries provide. Classic Django/Symphony/Spring Boot with some CSS animations and Javascript glue can work perfectly for the smaller apps. For things that aren't applications, you shouldn't need any framework at all, websites can/should just be static files to make everyone's lives easier.
Sure.. if you can manage your own keys and still install a normal OS, than you have done 2 things most home PC users will never do… and others simply cannot with a crippled factory BIOS. Yet we are not talking about servers, as features like Backplane administrative subsystems and hot-swapping internal bus parts are not standard on most PCs. Also, the Intel management engine and Computrace decedent features are not always removable, include their own CVE, and companies like Toshiba and Sony would trip the permanent asset flag at the factory forcing end users to adopt features they never asked for.

“chain of trust between firmware and OS” assumes physical security in logistics and co-locations is perfect, and given the number of unsolicited network appliances we would get from vendors in some places I worked... a CA no one ever checks is the least of peoples issues. We avoided HP after the quality dipped for their fragile laptops, and some server firmware would reject generic storage options. ;-)

In the 21st century, in the West, "Buddhism" is treated as a set of stress-relief techniques and slogans.

This isn't strictly limited to the West: at least two of Taiwan's Four Great Mountains (i.e. schools of Buddhism) are similarly inclined, with additional cultish elements thrown in for good measure.

The cultish elements had already developed independently within corporate cultures, but adding Buddhist slogans and techniques (rather than the philosophical and devotional elements), has given it a new edge.

Buddhist cults focus on fate, inevitability, acceptance, detachment. You are helpless against the world, which by the way, works the way we say, because we are the enlightened bearers of the great tradition. And because of this helplessness, here's a set of doctrines you should follow. Corporate Buddhism additionally tries to appropriate mindfulness as "focusing on work".

And, yes, that stuff is historically there, in Buddhism. It's present in many many of the fractally complex historical branches of the Buddhist taxonomic tree. But too many people only ever see one leaf on that tree, and think "oh so this is Buddhism".

Except Buddhism is also a philosophy of action, and a set of guides for correct action. Acting rightly entails seeing rightly, and so Buddhism includes an appreciation for and guide towards empirical inquiry. This was always terrifying to authority figures, and Asia only didn't develop modern science first because Buddhist logic and experimentation were among the casualties of The Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars.

And here, in the 21st century culture of global megacorporations, we see this pattern again; the pleasant, passive parts of Buddhism are allowed in, while pretending the other parts don't exist.

But Buddhism did have rebellious warrior monks. Ashoka, the greatest Buddhist King, made it clear that the law would be enforced, and his borders protected. Acting correctly always requires brutality towards oppressors, but this part of Buddhism is unpalatable within corporate culture.
I've got the fancy f/2 zoom 4/3rd lens. Thing is awesome and at this point there's pretty much no hope of using it with better sensors etc. I should be buying up Olympus E bodies to make sure I'll have something behind it while it lasts.
You think you’re caricaturing my view but yes - that’s true. Employment is exploitation, and we all know that. Why else would we all seek situations where we are shareholders or partner in a business? Because ownership is power, and using your power to profit off someone else’s labor is exploitation.
So many things you forget about if you don't take photos...

People started knowing about Paul Graham (pg) in the early-mid 2000s via his essays - http://paulgraham.com/articles.html.

Most people found them and discussed them on Slashdot, I think - certainly I first read How to Start a Startup (http://paulgraham.com/start.html) after my friend/co-founder found it on Slashdot.

A few months after How to Start a Startup was published, the first batch of Y Combinator was convened - http://paulgraham.com/sfp.html

It went so well that they ran it again that winter, then kept running it twice a year.

One of the startups in that first batch was Reddit.

There's some story about pg wanting the Reddit founders to make a subreddit for talking about startups/tech to be a community for people interested in YC, but for some reason it didn't happen the way he wanted so he decided to build his own forum, initially called Startup News (https://news.ycombinator.com/announcingnews.html), then soon after became Hacker News - https://news.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html.

The objective of Startup News/Hacker News was twofold - as real-world use-case for the Arc programming language he was creating, and to be a place where people interested in startups/tech could come to read interesting articles and discuss interesting topics, and then maybe eventually become interested enough in startups to apply to Y Combinator.

I empathize with people working the tough jobs! That doesn't necessarily mean I think the jobs must be made less tough, even if I'd prefer they had better options to choose from.

A claim that the produced warnings are selectively used to fire black or unionizing workers would be much more interesting, but I don't see enough evidence to make it yet. It also doesn't really connect to the big headline of 13000 notices at one facility - if that was the purpose of the system, you'd hardly need so many.

It's kind of important to remember that they didn't intend to spend $10B on the telescope and that it's going to last for ~20 years. The original price was expected to be $500M and it would have never been approved if the original price was $10B. It only ended up being able to get to such a cost because of gradual overruns over 20+ years and sunk cost.

That said, NASA have been expanding the DSN for the past decade with four new antennae added so far (remaining two expected by 2025), it's just slow progress as usual with most of what they do lately. DSN antennas don't bring in jobs (and thus votes) for senators the way decades long flagship projects like JWST or SLS do.
Other than oil and filters, which you don't need to buy from the manufacturer, most new cars don't need much engine maintanance.
On the other side, suspension, brakes and tires are much more subject to wear and the need of replacement, and in a heavier car, there's a big chance that you'll need even more frequent maintainance of such itens.

I used to have a Leica M6. It was a lovely camera, but I actually really prefer to shoot with my Nikon FE2 to the Leica, and so I sold the M6. Hope it ended up in the hands of someone who enjoys it.
Well, I see 6809 on that toolbar, which makes me happy. Thanks for the link I'll check it out.
Boot sector viruses were already hardly common before Secure Boot. Practically since anything that is not MS-DOS-based, it is not that easy to write to the hard disk boot sector from a running operating system, and if you can do so, then it is much easier to write your payload somewhere else in the host OS (with all the OS functionality at your disposal) rather than the boot sector.
>they can also treat their drivers like human beings.

If this was the case, why didn't workers continue what they were doing before they worked for Uber? Did they have no job before Uber, or did they view Uber as an improvement to their previous situation?

Thats a spectograph
a) Yes, true.

c) Possibly true.

My point isn't that fundamentally mirrorless has more noise. It's that for the same price mirrorless cameras tend to be inferior in this regard.

For context, my DSLR is APS-C and not full frame. The last time I looked (2018), I couldn't find a mirrorless camera that performed as well noise wise than my Nikon for the same price (and other features).
Agree! The web-player not including features from the desktop application is unacceptable.

I just canceled my Spotify subscription for similar reasons this week. Discovery has become a pain, and I found myself listening to the same 50 or so songs throughout the day from the playlists generated by Spotify. On top of that, the constant push for podcasts has become annoying.

So far I've found great satisfaction using Apple Music.
I feel like you're ascribing some judgement to the word fictional, it just means that machines, real or virtual, present programs a model of computation that is an abstraction over the implementation. One such abstraction is the notion of a program that is a block of instructions executed in sequence with a program counter, registers, memory, a stack. But that's not the only abstraction you could imagine. The JVM for example eschews manual memory management. And WASM eschews the concept of a program counter, and arbitrary jumps, and instead only allows structured control flow.
This is exactly why I think FOSS has become irrelevant for end-users. An open source client for a proprietary API only gives superficial freedoms and doesn't guarantee those freedoms will not be taken away.

The software landscape has changed so much since the conception of GPL and all it stood for. Back then, freedom was about expert users having autonomy over their own systems. These days, I think the real fight for freedom is about user communities and general end-users.

I think there is potential in the emerging field of community authored software. Community's coming together to build their own platforms is an ethos that I think has gained some traction and, if it builds more momentum, could become the next free software movement.
DSLR camera is still better of course, but people won't use it due to its bulky and heavy and their mobile phone can do 80% of photoing faster and probably just as good albeit a few areas that DSLR still has advantages. But for most of us, a good enough camera is just fine.
> This feels like an odd assumption to make about my comment.

I mean, "refuse to read more than 3 sentences" (or "the TLDR of the business world" and "I-didn't-bother-reading-your-email-so-please-spend-an-extra-30m-explaining-it session is less so" in others' comments in the same subthread) seems like unrealistic as well as incredibly uncharitable assumptions to make about people's general motivations for requesting followup calls. Especially if the subject matter of the original email was something as non-trivial as "a clear set of strategic choices"

Indeed, if it ends up actually taking 30 minutes to explain an email, it's obvious both that the other person is putting far more time and effort into the call than they would have done into scanning the email text, and that the email itself couldn't possibly have communicated all the information the caller [felt that they] needed to know in sufficient detail.

Which doesn't guarantee that the "quick call" was actually a productive use of time, or that the caller's questions are particularly good ones or that the caller couldn't have included followup questions in their reply, but if somebody can't think of any reason why colleagues receiving their email would call for clarification other than lack of interest in reading, there's a decent chance it's not [just] the colleagues with the communication problems. Even if the colleagues don't have additional information to add and seem fixated on something which point 11b was supposed to rule out.

Sure, as the number of people in a group meeting grows the probability someone hasn't read (or has read and has completely forgotten) the meeting prep notes approaches 1, but that's a separate issue from people receiving an email and calling for one-to-one clarification.
> Seeing a bunch of pretty nebulae with artificial colorimg is no longer inspiring, it looks like it could have come out of DALL-E

Yeah, that's totally how science works!

You can't confirm/reject any theories based on pictures that a AI generates, but I guess you'll tell me that "sure we can" with some more hyperbole.
There is a fundamental physics limit at play here: the diffraction limit is linear with the aperture diameter and gives an upper bound on the resolution of a telescope. Having a longer exposure doesn't help - that's for resolving very faint objects (more light collected -> higher signal-to-noise). To resolve a building-sized object on an exoplanet, regardless of its intensity, we'd need a telescope the size of the solar system. There are some proposals to use the gravitational lensing of our sun to create such a telescope, but those projects are decades at least from implementation.
There are orcs, dragons, spiders, gelatinous cubes but no rust monsters. Disappointed.

No seriously, that's great, and maybe rust monsters will be included eventually. Technically, it has an interesting effect (damages metal items) which may have a place in a tutorial like this.
Yes, understood. But in Rust (without going through unsafe code), you can't write a program that will produce a reference to a u16 that overlaps with half of a global u32. In C/C++ you could cast a pointer that way and turn it into a reference, but the compiler is allowed to assume, even though you wrote that, that the u16 (unsigned short) reference can't refer to some particular global u32 (unsigned int), and if it has it in a register it won't reload it. The program has undefined behavior (you could use unions and get implementation-defined behavior, which will depend on little-endian vs big-endian).
TBH, TypeScript's type system really impressed me. It's the strongest type system of any language I regularly use (I haven't had time to unpack Rust yet, and I learned enough Haskell to decide Haskell didn't help me solve problems I had).
Yes, they are frequency shifted. Many telescope images are in false color. I can understand that we are interested in visible light since that’s most within our experience, but the human eye was not evolved for the astronomical and universal so we need some help. Frequency shifting is a tool just like a lens.
Google recently shut off Hangouts on me with a flight (since several of my contacts reported that Hangouts worked fine for them).

It's kind of mind boggling they'd decide to do that - the replacement they direct me to (Google Chat) doesn't even have feature parity so I just dropped them and moved my social circle using Hangouts to a different app (since at this point they all faced the same problem and we decided on a different platform).

I'm really curious how the A/B testing for this went down - Google is willingly throwing customers away because somebody wants to pump numbers for a new app that is objectively worse than the old one.

At this point Google Maps is the only product that is keeping me with them, but even that one is beginning to wear thin.

This fails to answer the question.
yeah, mid management being incompetent and not noticing that the metrics are fucked up for a location i can totally believe. hopefully after some time with outlier retention issues the facility would get some attention from someone competent? ;/
Ok to be honest I know it's not cool to admit it, but so far it all looks the same.
If someone told me that the Webb picture was taken by Hubble I would not have thought about it for an extra second.

I'm hoping that in the future we see pictures of locations and environments that are mind-blowing to the average person who loves space.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out Scala. Especially since https://github.com/lichess-org/lila is also written with Scala.
