Short answer - sometimes yes.

I think this is where government regulation and laws could play a role in making these types of companies better, but its difficult because it involves scrutinizing individual product decisions that are often different in different geographies and markets.

Here are some examples:

Many uber drivers felt they qualified for a promotion, but were denied and had no recourse, thats a problem.

Sometimes a bad faith customer would report a driver for unsafe driver because the driver refused some unreasonable request. The driver would be suspended and not be able to get back on the platform for a long time.

Things like limiting certain profitable rides, or not allowing drivers to refuse uber pool (back when it was thing) should be scrutinized as well
This is a great initiative. I’m looking forward to seeing the results.
Air pollution has been linked to various negative health outcomes, even autism.

Counterintuitively, air pollution from cars lingers in the air up to 6-7 stories, so living relatively above the traffic doesn’t solve these problems.
> Many people were working these jobs without realising what a bad deal it was.

Can you share some details on where you're getting this data? I'd like to dig into it more.

Imperfect information certainly is a thing, but many public jobs have public wage information. Large corporate jobs also have public wage information (say a delivery driver or warehouse worker -- everyone knows what Amazon is paying for these positions). Claiming people stay in these jobs due to ignorance goes against my experience growing up poor, where my parents and their peers constantly hunted for better paying jobs.

I don't know anything about Ireland, but a quick Google for "ireland jobs" leads me to https://ie.indeed.com/jobs-in-Ireland where I can clearly see wages and salaries for many positions.
You miss the context of "in the face of anti Section-230 and worse bills".

How is defending /not/ filtering being complicit anyway? That is about as strong a "personal choice" a stance a company can take.
In Hebrew, India is called Hodu, which seems to be a name unique to Hebrew (although with quite ancient origins).

We all “need quiet for focused work.”

Focused work should be challenging or at least require a person’s dedicated attention, which is not possible when distractions are a normal occurrence in a workplace regardless of whether someone has a mental or physical condition that makes them less functional in a “normally” loud workplace.
Let me know when I can learn how to fix the radiator fan for my 2008 ford on tiktok, then I'll agree with you.
The argument being that culture wars over gender emboldened Russia to invade Ukraine in order to stop the spread of Western 'degeneracy'...so Russia is saving the Ukraine by attacking it?

Russia having the right to invade Ukraine because of trans rights and gender theory in the US is quite a stretch of the imagination.

> That doesn't necessarily mean I think the jobs must be made less tough

Humans get injuries, psychological damage, and that translates to families and society.

To make jobs insufferable just because Amazon can is horrifying. And society will pay for it even if Amazon is the only one profiting.
The problem many complain about though is that this shifts the point of the Spotify product. Those who want a clean interface for listening to music, often specifically out of one's library of "liked" albums and playlists, now deal with a UI encumbered with podcasts, social features, and I guess now games.

At some point soon there will be room for a "just your music" streaming service.
I barely charge my A7C ever. I go weeks without a a charge and never really worry. The battery life on cameras these days is just insane
I really wish astronomers would come up (or use) a standard mechanism for indicating the field of view of an image. The scale of this one in the night sky is much larger than the deep field one.
Yes.

This was an image of a relatively "empty" portion of sky (no stars nearby), so anything you can see has to be pretty bright by itself, which means galaxy, not star.

Dead Cells is a popular recent one. Hades classifies as well I believe.

A ~roguelike~ rogue-lite is something where you start from the beginning repeatedly, and each "run" or playthrough you change the game state somehow (varies by game) so that the next run is easier / you have more in-game options for progression. Almost always with randomized game features available each run.

It's worth noting that "rogue-like" is a description for the Game Play Loop, not the look / feel of the game. A roguelike can be top-down, side scroller, 2d, 3D, etc.

every time i'm using a website and it does not behave exactly the same than for other people or I notice some AB testing, in my head it goes "who the fuck these people think they are?". The computing experience must be consistent and repeatable. If I wanted something that can change depending on the current position of the stars I'd ask another human, not a computer.

A/B testing can result in this type of behaviour but that's just poor A/B testing.

That is exactly the opposite of what TillE wrote. If that were how the British already pronounced the word, there would be no need to change the spelling.

One of the interesting aspects of giving a shit is that it will lead sometimes to you doing things which are not in your short-term selfish narrowly-defined "best interest" but because you give a shit you'll do it anyway. Some of these lead to long-term value that is very significant but you can't know at the time.

I was once asked by a client (bank) to take a call with one of _their_ clients (a pretty important hedge fund). I did this as a courtesy even though I thought our product wasn't appropriate for the hedge fund. Anyhow I get on the call and it's the COO, the Chief Investment Officer, the CTO and a couple of other _very_ important people at this big fund. (ie a much more senior call than I really expected). Anyway, because I give a shit, I told them our product wouldn't really be right for them and explained why. They thanked me and I heard nothing more of it.

Until a couple of years later where I offered a job out of the blue because one of the people on the call had been impressed by how I had dealt with it, and by pure coincidence his partner was a recruiter who was tasked with headhunting for a CTO role and he said "hey you should check this guy out".
> But here's the big thing with DSLRs over mirrorless: input lag for target tracking. An optical viewfinder ("OVF") is just inherently faster than any electronic viewfinder ("EVF"). For a lot of people that doesn't matter. If you're trying to shoot an animal on the run or a racing car then it probably does.

The OVF lag on the high end models is significantly faster than the time it take the mirror to retract (a D5 SLR has about 40ms of shutter lag). This means that while you might have a very minimal lag on the EVF, you make up for it in shorter shutter lag.

Just a note: I used to do Photojournalism for a living. This kind of precision timing is irrelevant for action shooting. Once AF and motor drive happened, the technique shifted from trying to hit the decisive moment, to just mashing the shutter and picking the best shot from the series.
No. Not necessarily.

Also details and interactions matter. From paper:

Our study revealed that UVB exposure enhances food-seeking behavior in males via ghrelin and a process that is prevented in females. We found that p53 mediates transcription of ghrelin in skin adipocytes and that estrogen interferes with the p53-mediated transcriptional activity, thus blocking the positive effect of solar exposure on food-seeking behavior in females. ...

The increased hypothalamic expression of the orexigenic pathway indicates that ghrelin activated this pathway, which translated to increased food intake in males. As ghrelin serves as a peripheral satiety signal, its concentrations change in response to environmental cues and reach hypothalamic satiety centers.

However ...

A direct link between the skin and the brain was demonstrated in a study showing that UVB exposure induces the release of urocanic acid from the skin to the blood, which is converted to glutamate in brain neurons, leading to improvements in motor learning and object recognition in mice61. Ghrelin enhances learning and has anti-anxiety effects and neuroprotective functions32. It will be interesting to further study whether skin-mediated induction of ghrelin production directly improves brain function, such as memory and learning abilities and whether there are additional hormones released from the skin that modify human behavior.

UV is a well-established carcinogen, but avoiding the sun rays adversely impacts human health, too11. Since ghrelin has anti-inflammatory properties62, halts heart muscle wasting63 and decreases arterial pressure64, ghrelin may be the mechanistic link between solar exposure and cardiovascular disease reduction11. Moreover, ghrelin enhances insulin sensitivity in metabolic syndrome patients65 and in animal models of type II diabetes66. Patients who suffer from appetite loss, which affects their health and recovery rate, such as patients undergoing chemotherapy67 patients, should benefit from treatments that induce ghrelin production. Indeed, ghrelin administration during chemotherapy has been shown to increase food intake and appetite68. The ghrelin receptor is expressed in the brain69 and in peripheral tissues (that is spleen, myocardium, thyroid, pancreas, and adrenals)70. In addition to its function in regulating energy homeostasis32 and the functions mentioned above, ghrelin also mediates glucose homeostasis71, muscular atrophy72, bone metabolism73, stress and anxiety74, adipogenesis75 and the immune system76. Therefore, the various role of ghrelin, might be also observed upon UVB/solar exposure and will be interesting to investigate. Thus, our study suggest that the use of phototherapy might be extended.
Thank you for your comment.

My intention of using word "flawless" was to emphasize that one, being in the flow, can write thoughts not being interrupted by need to use mouse (shortcuts should help here).

Maybe I should use another word here... Could you please advise?

BTW are keyboard shortcuts considered as a "flaw"?
Awesome link, thank you. Nietzsche's career was an exercise in creating and promoting the concept of 'creative nihilism' as an alternative to existential pessimism, which works for me!

> The article is about service businesses, which do not need to hit web scale!

There are many small consultancies that are humming along, making high six figures to low seven figures a year in income, with good paying jobs and work/life balance. It can be a bit of a grind for the owners (who assume a lot of risk and have to land clients) and there are some ups and downs due to the realities of consulting (okay, just lost a big client, time to tighten the belt), but I've seen this work a number of times. Having a recurring source of income (productized service, hosting) can really help.

The main thing these companies do is "be excellent", aka give a shit.
I had a coworker who sent those letters as a side hustle. He had a few different ones and would send the letters certified mail. Companies are very poor at compliance, and certain violations allow you to sue the company.

A straw man is when you construct arguments the other person didn't make (the strawman) and then you argue against this strawman and declaring yourself the victor, but you didn't argue against the pointe the other person made.

What you are talking about is a slippery slope argument.
What is the purpose of typing in the password for them? It's not keeping it a secret. Usually the OS lets you see it. For example on macOS they can just search for it Keychain Access, and even though they may not be able to get to it on iOS, the built-in WiFi sharing will bring that password to their Mac for viewing there.

IMO it is just easier to display it on a computer screen in a large-sized text and let them type it in themselves, e.g., the 1Password large type show option.

Seeing separate VLAN being mentioned makes me think you are also have the ability to run a temporary additional WiFi network when guests are over as well. That could just use a rotating password with a memorable word scheme to make it easier to type.
SAS killings: How a scandal was uncovered
Because that is the legal obligation they have. They have an obligation not to host reported infringers. They have no obligation to host you.
I say Sony because it was Sony that took Nikon's marketshare.

Why I don't think it it's big news to ordinary people is that it is not a huge difference for them. If I put a mirrorless camera in front of most people they would think it was an SLR. If you dig a little deeper you may find it even fits your old lenses with an adapter.

It is hard for ordinary people to see it as even an important development. A digital camera does not require a mirror, so they made one without it. Without the mirror it is possible to improve on certain things in a small way. The camera business is a nerd business. Even small changes are good for sales. Ordinary people don't care.

I suspect Nikon are being coy about this because they still have inventory of SLR cameras and lenses.
You can just use [id]-[sha1 hmac]@domain.tld

The id could be anything, and the SHA1 HMAC takes 32 characters in base32 (which is an email-address-safe encoding). Then just configure your spamfilter to reject any address where the HMAC doesn’t check out.

Of course, the drawback is that you’ll need a computer to generate a new address… At which point you may as well store an explicit whitelist of valid addresses.
As a pro, I actually haven't invested in any Z mount lenses. They're completely neglecting the mainstays of wedding photography - f/1.4 lenses.

The single memory card slot of the first generation was also ridiculous for the wedding photographer crowd in that it made them completely unusable.
Per-user karma maybe? You could have global and per-user karma. Perhaps you could generate views server side based on global karma, then sort client-side based on user-assigned karma?
It's remarkable how something as trivial as typing 26 characters is onerous on our glassy slabs, but image processing to resolve a high-resolution two-dimensional barcode in a video stream is easy.

I've got a brand new Tesla for sale for $50, would you like it? Shipping is $600k
agreed. i really dont like this trend of branding products with DX. let people talk about your DX if they like you, putting it in the product name is just so presumptive.
Let me propose a different possibility.

Suppose the site isn't concerned about the sale very much at all?

Suppose the thing that the site uses to reel people in, is a good deal that isn't very profitable to the site but what the site then tries to sell is a very profitable near-scam/ripoff. Scaring off half the ordinary customers becomes worth it to get even 10% of the customers buying the scam.

What seems like "poor optimization" can easily optimization for something and could be seen as "the scammification of the web".
Huawei _holds_ lots of patents there. It was sanctioned because US couldn’t compete on market terms, not because of alleged “IP theft” - which used to be a normal practice for US companies (and government; there are quite a few stories of American industrial espionage) until they got ahead.
It's greater fool theory, people betting on someone being even dumber than themselves.
it doesnt need to be 10x linear extrapolation, it just has to have 1 extra dimension. The decentralized dimension will never work however, because it is always illegal. Otherwise, gnutella, bittorrent, bitcoin, ipfs all could have become a decentralized "social network", aka "the n-th iteration of gopher/boards/forums"

The money comes from advertisers, not from users or views. Advertisers perennially spend the same amount (~1% of GDP, barring periods of war) to advertising companies. The pie is not expandable and is eaten by google and FB.
Ask HN: Why do I keep getting rejected?
I have been looking for a new job for around four months and have had little success. One job rejected me after the final interview. But most jobs have either not replied to my application or I've been rejected a week or so after submitting my resume.

My current role is a mix of business development and product management. It's hard to describe on a resume or give measurable achievements. I've been looking at product management roles as well as general business development opportunities.

I don't know if I am being passed over due to my resume (it's three pages) or if I am not seen as qualified for certain roles or a mixture of both. Or if it's something else altogether like roles not really being available.

Any tips? Is my long(ish) resume the problem?
Phone cameras are the Kodak Brownies of today. Sure, they can't take telephoto shots, macro/micro or action shots in the traditional way, but outside of pros and semi-pros, phone cameras cover 98% of users' needs. People always carry their phone, it's secure --less likely to get snatched, easier to insure, etc. Also lightweight and pretty advanced imaging algos to produce output users like.
If you count social security and medicaid taxes the $400k couple is paying 36% and the 600k couple is paying 40%.

So yeah it's not the majority of people in the Bay Area paying 40% but if both spouses are working at big tech companies and they're more than a few years into their career then they will likely be somewhere in this range and paying close to 40%
Tangential, but IMO the super-power rich people have at achieving personal goals (this principle also applies to business goals, but let's set that aside) is largely due to being able to pay (to them) pocket change to make others do their giving-a-shit for them.

How many shits do you have to give to stay fit as a poor person? Lots. Many shits must be given. You must be a shit-giving machine. 100% of shits given toward your goal must come from you.

How many shits do you have to give to stay fit as a rich person? Let's see... you're paying an amount of money that's meaningless to you to have someone else give a shit about your meals, both making sure that your diet is healthy and balanced and that it's tasty and appealing to minimize the shit-giving you need to stick with it... and someone else give a shit about your work-outs... and someone else to give a shit about your schedule to make sure that stuff fits in... gee, look at that, you hardly have to give any shits at all, personally!

That's the story of why I still have and drive a 22 year old, 5-speed, 2000 CRV. Hard to sell with the 'rebuilt' title, still runs great though. Dented up like a truck, but only has 135k miles. It's a keeper. My 'city' car.

Two corrections:

(1) This is a good overview, but conservatives don't believe in the status quo for the status quo's sake. They believe that our traditions are highly optimized, essential components to living a fulfilling life. We don't even know why many of the rules even exist, the exact problem they solve has long been forgotten to history; so we should be careful when changing these rules.

There is an element of caring for your long-term health as well as the larger society, and raising the next generation of humans, which most everyone agrees with in some form (even libertarians argue that absolute individual liberty is what produces the best outcome for society). This not necessarily make you a collectivist, in the way that progressives push for labor unions, economic planning, and intersectionality.

What you're missing is a description of when conservatives support use of force to promote social values. Modern American conservatives think that rights come with responsibilities, that neither unfettered libertinism nor enforcement of responsibility with police power is legitimate.

(2) Clarence Thomas has never spoken from the bench about what laws the state ought to pass, he is careful to emphasize he is not a lawmaker and that is not his job. When he dissents in Obergefell and other cases that rely on "substantive" due process, it's because i legal rationale invented to uphold slavery in Dred Scott v. Sandford.
