Thank you. I hadn't considered legal options. I would prefer not to have a public lawsuit attached to my name -- I know, that's the point, but I don't want to call attention to this.

I'm thinking about doing something private but formalized, like having a lawyer send a letter to OKCupid summarizing recent events and demanding they take down profiles impersonating me. I could share that letter with my (new) employer if another victim ever contacted them directly. I know it wouldn't really prove anything, but it might be convincing to HR. Last time, the HR representative didn't seem to believe me, which definitely made me feel terrible and theoretically could have affected my career.
Windows 11 Update Chaos Why?
Opened computer this morning and Windows 11 un-pinned every program shortcut I had and replaced them with all the windows defaults..

FFS Windows developers how does something so stupid get past any kind of quality control ?
But throwing chalk works. Don’t get me wrong I wish all the people I value the opinion of or need to get adhesion from were full of confidence and perfectly fine speaking in public. It would make my life easier. Sadly they are not so I sometimes have to push them in the swimming pool. Hopefully at some point they will realise they are perfectly able to swim. In the meantime, well, tough love it’s gonna be.
It looks like "How" was accidentally dropped from the title so as-written it doesn't quite make sense because today Guernica is hardly considered a "flop". His related sketches The Dream and Lie of Franco[1][2] are also worth a look.

Fun fact: Franco wanted Guernica exhibited in Spain but Picasso refused. It lived at the MoMA with instructions that it shouldn't be sent to Spain until Spain was a democracy and the people were free.

Not so fun fact: Picasso was an arogant asshole of the highest order.

Humankind is going through some serious growing pain and it's really a leveling up of human consciousness, but a lot of the old garbage needs to be shed and it's painful.
The point is, if he can see the needle out his window right now, he can just look out the window to look at the building next door.
What makes me optimistic about the future is that humans are clearly past peak, now, and will factor themselves out of the planet's equation before too very much longer.
More specifically I'd say that restaurants are a microcosm of manufacturing processes.

There is a sub shop downtown in Ithaca that spins like a top, it is so well run you'd think they'd write a business school case study about it. That is, they make great subs and never screw your order up.

Well, at least they never screwed your order up when you submitted in person. I think the online ordering is OK today but the first time I ordered something online they made my sub 30 minutes early and then stuffed it in some out-of-the-way place where they couldn't find it! A place that handles in person orders very well can fall down completely when it comes to online orders or vice versa.
Spot on! I have a kid roughly that age who plays VGs. As long as he works, has a plan for his life (school) , helps around home and spends time with friends (face to face), he can play VGs. VGs actually gives me leverage if he doesn't something wrong. If he's living at home, I have some say so in his life. I encourage him to stay home, at least for the next few years. For him, he saves money and life is easier (eats well, laundry, etc), and for me, I get to help form him in a critical part in his life.
There's too much demand for housing for this to happen. Worst case, they go down 5-10% in the hardest hit areas, but most places are going to see low or no growth even if rates hit 7%.
While this is of course reductive, my counterexample is cosmetics and women's fashion generally, I'm happy to agree where internet services are concerned.

Yeah, you are right. Intrusion level is different and way more peedatory.

I find that sort of ironic because Unity's very own press release, in which they announced this merger was stuffed with some of the most vapid and nonsensical PR bullshit phrases I have ever seen.

As in, they couldn't even get out a straight line about what ironSource's actual product is.
I really think this is a backwards way to look at it. Work typically happens in an organization, and in organizations you don't always do the most optimal thing for yourself as an individual. I know everyone on HN would love it if they just got a steady stream of tickets into their inbox, never had a meeting about anything ever, and only interacted with git and HN. But that's not how the world works. Being attentive and engaged for 30 minutes while you get information that may very well make your job easier is not a big ask.

I love love love working from home full-time but this is my chief complaint about it - before COVID (at least in the smaller places I worked), if you brought your laptop into a meeting, spent the entire time typing, and didn't engage anyone, you'd probably get either a warning or it would be your last meeting. It forced people to actually pay attention and not just pretend like they were, or at the very least risk getting called out for it.

And while 12 is certainly pushing it, I've definitely been in productive working meetings with 6-8 people where all have been contributing.
I’m starting to really believe in life there are only screwers and screwees.

The complete lack of consequence at the top of society can only lead to us at the bottom ignoring the rules too and frankly? There’s waaaaay more serfs with pitchforks than castles to storm.
I am not, but unless the religion is corporatism, I am a fairly unremarkable sinner. Doing a poor job in adtech doesn't seem like a burn in hell offense.
Yes - I had to read into that part of Turing, since I had never previously come across his views on ESP, but it seems like his error was not that he believed the statistics to be more powerful than they were - but rather he was too credulous in believing there weren't charlatans intentionally fudging the stats in order to help their point. Basically - the stats were powerful, but they were just fake.
This the worst analogy.
Thanks, bookmarked this. It's good to see a proper take on data modelling on document stores instead of just "through any old JSON in there it'll be fine!!!"
But other places also have underreported crime. In a place where police take 30 minutes to arrive it might not be worth it to call the police for some minor things.

No, but this sword here at my side don't act the way it should. It keeps calling me its master when I feel like it's slave. It's hauling me, faster and faster, to an early, early grave.
Because it takes away development resources from actually useful things.
And f.e. taking the examples of Signal and Keybase, both their crypto wallets/implementations are about the most useless possible. Keybase b/c I know no one who actually uses it as a messenger and it uses stellar/lumens, Signal b/c it is apparently impossible in most countries to actually get tokens to load / unload your wallet.
they make a big show to say that macs are supported, but in reality only x86 macs are supported, M1/M2 are not.

They hide this in the required specs, 2 clicks after the main announcement. Pretty misleading given that Apple currently sells 2 non M1/M2 macs: an i5 Mac Mini and the Mac Pro (cheese grater).
I get a vertical scroll bar in the text of the password in Chrome. It would be nice if you can hide it.

Where is the code? It would be nice if all the javascript code is in the same page without external javascript files, so the user can "verify" that you are not doing anything shady.

Are you using a cryptographic random generator? Anyway, my guess is that the people that ask the question is paranoid enough to not use this page to generate the password for the secret bank account or something.

Sure, but I'm the kind of person who picks up litter anyway.
I am not affiliated with it at all, but I am considering using a service like https://www.idcheck.io/ for my own business. Sure there are a lot of users that find such things invasive, but I have had a lot of our users ask for stronger user verification. It would be a great solution to Musk's bot problem with Twitter. Anyone have experience with such a service?
Cheap green energy.

We've just had a stark lesson on how important the price of energy is to our economy. In the future, the opposite is going to happen. The price of solar power has been dropping about 80% per decade for the last 50 years or so, and it looks like that is going to continue for the rest of this decade at least. It hasn't had a significant impact yet because solar has been more expensive than alternatives, but we've reached the crossing point, and solar power is now cheaper.

Energy is a major direct and indirect input into the price of pretty much everything.

Some people are going to figure out some good ways of turning cheap intermittent power into dollars, and those people are going to make a ton of money, dragging the rest of the economy with it.

(Unless of course that mechanism is completely useless, like crypto).
"Watt hour of storage" is not a unit, it's the physical quantity "storage" quantified by the unit "Watt hour", ie the combination of the two.
The programmers that consistently create this kind of code are what is normally called "incompetent".

Yes, many companies prefer to hire them, or can only retain them for a variety of reasons. None of this is good in any way.

Anyway, those programmers have really good odds to stop creating this kind of code given some learning. While adding Copilot as a "peer" just makes them less likely to learn, and all programmers more likely to act like them. That's not matching the status-quo, that's a very real worsening of it.
I think this is a really good practice in general! It would help people (like my younger self) who might be afraid to speak up or interrupt regardless of gender.

I'll pass this to my wife. She's big on podcasts, but even if I set the player to chipmunk mode they're too slow-paced for me; I can read faster than these people can talk.
yep that would be really interesting! If e.g. the target generated code was some language with high type safety or a DSL whose compilation already guarantees certain properties.
what planet are you living on, the Model is was refreshed less than 1 year ago, and the new version is amazing.
But Minecraft has a really solid compulsion loop, it’s what makes it so easy to start playing and then realize it’s nightfall. You never have to wait for anything because there’s always something else to do, you get mild gentle pressure from the environment to do things like hunger, night, mobs that inject variety. Every step of building something is set up as a reward, and there’s tiers of progress that reward basically every action. Mining and drops is literally lootboxes.

You picked basically the most addictive game in existence that uses every trick in the book as your shining example. Minecraft just hides it well.
"Acquiring" is a stretch, basically they're bringing ironsource public under their stock. The "valuation" of the deal is also a stretch, but honestly shows how little the market cares about ethics.

I'm quite surprised that nobody is talking about anti competition - ironsource's rise and unity ads are, together, a very large mobile advertising network. Two that are often vying for the same customer. App developers that depend on those two competing are now shit out of luck. I'm really surprised this deal snuck through anticompetition oversight and it doesn't seem like it would have if google wasn't at the same table.

Anyway, ironsource STILL runs this slippery desktop install network - it's not like this was way back in the past and they've moved on. Hit the download button on any streaming/torrent website or keygen installer and you'll find ironsource.
More likely, one subset of humans (e.g. the ones who use birth control) will be replaced by another subset (e.g. the ones who don't use birth control, perhaps for religious reasons). Since evolution favors those who don't use birth control for obvious reasons.
I had a similar problem, except he raped a woman (convinced her to come to an address, come inside, all lights off, no talking). She contacted me via LinkedIn when he ghosted her. Got police involved but took 18 months to get all the information lined up from bumble and Snapchat (ie phone numbers etc). He was deported for domestic violence before they could arrest him.

Trying to get plenty of fish, bumble, tinder to respond was impossible.

Since there were very few photos of me publicly available online I feel I should be able to blacklist photos of me to these providers so people can’t use prepackaged profiles of me.

After he was deported, I was messaged by about 15 women in the US who were catfished by the same profile(s).

I feel there is some forum somewhere where people pass around these prepackaged profiles of people who they feel are good ‘candidates’ to impersonate.

Really disturbing
There's little downside in taking the pessimistic side of a bet with an enormous payout on the optimism side.

I'm on the optimism side of that coin though.

It's by no means necessary for a joke to have been made in the comment I was replying to, for me to refer to it. The cliché is well known.

I'm sorry, but the fact that this is the first thing you list under "grim" is just comical to me. This isn't even a 1st world problem, this is a 0.1-world problem.
> A high % of the people in your company primarily care about vision, goals, and priorities. To them, that is a strategy.

Would be nice if the author defined what he thinks “strategy” is. It’s not obvious to me that the above is not strategy.

In general in business it seems the concept of strategy is whatever people need it to be in order for them to feel smarter than their coworkers.
Honestly? I try not to think about the future because doing so brings wave upon wave of existential dread. Things aren't looking good, and it might be a bit of a hedonistic maxim but if thinking about it just makes me feel worse why should I? Let me work away at achieving my "local optimum" since that's all I can realistically do.
Sure, but you're assuming it is something about you which prevents them from answering the door. Maybe they just get a lot of door to door salesmen and ignore the door bell when they aren't expecting anyone.
The plastic straw thing confuses me. I'd like someone to explain to me how anything besides the random runaway straw gets into the ocean. I live 60 miles from the ocean. We're people throwing them into storm drains that flow to the delta that flow to the ocean? We're people in San Francisco traveling to the beach and throwing them into the ocean? Couldn't we focus on not littering instead of legislating things like straws?

And at what point do those people who made the choice to be drug addicts deplete the goodwill that is afforded to them?

This isn't Minnesota or New York City. Our winters are mild; you don't need meth to stay warm at night, and the transients here tend to have more than enough clothing to stay warm when it gets into the low 50s/40s.

In fact this mild weather is probably why we have so many of them literally dumped on us. (Dumped, as in, given a one-way ticket to a sunny, seaside city of their choice)

Community policing programs work, just look at the success that Urban Alchemy has had in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The community is more than capable of policing itself, but it doesn't.
Ah, that's another level of smart than I was thinking of and requires integrating motion sensors, but I do suppose that would enable it.
Hey there,

Sorry for the outreach spam, just were trying to get feedback. Sometimes me and my co-founders reach out same person :) I hope we didn't bothered you a lot.

Thanks for the kind words, hopefully we believe there are a lot more space for players in the space. I guess we should wait and see.

About the approach thanks for the kind words :) We're trying to focus on 2 main issues with Permify.
1. Modeling of authorization: Make it dead simple so everyone can build future-proof system without the effort.
2. Data Orchestration: Make it easy to move and sync authorization data, especially for. distributed systems. So you don't have to.

But you can't get away from it because everything that you use that gets transported by someone is getting more expensive.
> Of course the problem is that it needs some cooperation between libc and the kernel.

You may have missed that our new pledge() impl is hosted in the Cosmopolitan Libc repository. So we've got cooperation. Therefore it'd help to clarify when you say this project won't get us there, that you're only speaking for glibc. pledge.com works fine with everything else like Musl and Cosmo Libc. It even works with glibc most of the time. One can't reasonably expect cosmo to need to support glibc before being able to support itself. We've learned today that folks want this. So the Glibc dev team should be doing more to help us. What I fear is that they're focused on different things.
It's actually not as bad as it sounds. There are generally 2 cases where these come up.

1. As a hack for not having functions as first class objects in GDScript - you'd refer to the function by string name. This definitely felt very hacky, but it's been resolved in 4.0, and now we have first-class functions!

2. For some things that other languages would handle as enums. This is also a problem, but it's not nearly as bad as you'd think, because it's generally fairly readable - stuff roughly like `is_key_down("key_left")` - and because Godot's autocomplete is good enough to suggest only the appropriate strings.

No, no. You are going in the right direction in analysing the morality of such proclamation. The point is, you can a) give others and collect reward in terms of other's people perception/rewarding of you (what the Bible passage above suggests is bad), b) do the same because someone just convinced you you'll get a reward from .. someone important, worthy of respect/awe (what the passage suggests is good, though I'm sure there will be those who say it's just parabole for being humble in giving, which of course the text could say but somehow doesn't), c) for some another reason. We'll get to c) in a minute.

When you think about what this is really easy to see is a = b. That I am rewarded with promise of heaven for a deed, or hope of being well-respected by others who see what I've done, affects the same object: ego. It's not driven by desire to help others (compassion, love or else), but desire to be seen /judged as good by others.

There is a c) (and more for sure). The much more mundane reason c) is "give to people and let your reward be the feeling you get that you do a good thing". Good thing can be in this case simply the result of mental congruence of your act with, say, your utilitarian belief that "helping others by decreasing their suffering is good".

If I tell people "a good act is when you help others to help them maximize utility", it's a moral stance. It's a very different moral stance than "a good act is when you do what someone says you should do in order to get eternal life".

The former is far better from ego-point of view, and less prone to corruption, and focuses on the values and reasons why somethign is good, in other words - promotes understanding and is clear why it's good. The latter promotes blind following and subservience to anothe person/being becomgin the guide of y our actions.

It's clear that most people need a guide, but be careful what kind of guide you pick.

When has there ever been a period of time where humans have the capacity to destroy the planet? I’m not even talking about climate change but nuclear weapons. I think the likelihood of a nuclear exchange is extremely likely within the next hundred years.

Especially as nations learn that once you’re a nuclear power you’re respected on the world stage.

How do you honestly come back from this? I’m genuinely curious because until some technology can be made to prevent this, it’s the only existential threat that can happen at any moment.
When the cops that stopped me bring up the fact that I was acting "suspicious" according to a neighbor's Ring recording, I can easily blame the doorbell camera for the interaction.
Yes, most if not all trees can do this. It was a strategy called coppicing that allowed more lumber to be grown from the same root system.
Commercial properties almost all have white roofs. Homes almost all have dark roofs. I wish someone would do the math on how much heat we're capturing into our houses because we want them to look nice.
While I am accustomed to the current situation, in which one must often simply guess and hope, I would greatly prefer to have more information up front. I don't see how you can lose by giving people more information.
You're not wrong, but CentOS (from inception) has always been really slow to release. When RHEL 7 dropped it took months to get the first CentOS build. CentOS having the same found, it isn't terribly surprising to me to see them be a little slower. When Alma launched, speed of updates was a specific goal of theirs because CentOS had been so painful in that area.

Most of the time I think it's fine. Mainly it hurts when there are security updates you need.

While I agree with you, it is fair to say RH has an unusual amount of leverage with respect to forcing things. They directly control a lot of big ticket projects, and have powerful leadership positions in others. They can coordinate major changes across the board and the momentum they can throw behind some decisions can certainly exert a LOT of pressure. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though - as you note it can be good to have a leader, but it's also something that can be detrimental too.
