Back in the 90's, I felt the exact opposite. Motif was much better looking and easier to use than Open Look. These days they both look pretty dated.
I have Mullvad switched on 24/7 and I've not come across this. I wonder if there's a difference across regions.

> There are basically two mysteries regarding Jeffrey Epstein - the first is how he died, and the second is how he managed to get the plea bargain wherein he served twelve months in para-prison for creating a network of dozens of underage prostitutes.

Weird, I would have thought the third mystery was "How have all these billionaires, who are listed on the Lolita Express' flight logs, escape arrest and prosecution thus far?" or maybe "Why did the judge seal all information away?" OR MAYBE "Why did 'conspiracy theorists' know about these flight logs since the early 2000s and just now something happened?"

I'm sure there are plenty of rational conclusions that don't involve a global shadow cabal of kid fuckers throwing 2 of their idiots under the bus. Remember how #metoo stopped after harvey weinstein? lol me too, I'm sure hollywood is fixed now.

THE WORLD IS A STAGE, THIS IS ALL THEATER
That's all well and good, except Google has a clear policy against jumping into support claims inside the established channels, too
I agree & didn't mean to imply otherwise. They should focus on making their system (including appeals via the official channels) work properly rather than doing support via HN.
I think you are correct when thinking about the long term future of the ecosystem, but if your business gets crushed because you can't advertise on Google then it doesn't feel so good.

Engineers on Hacker News don't understand how much of the advertising world runs through Google. Not being able to advertise on Google is like saying you can't do any backend engineering at your company you can only do front end.
Hard to say without knowing what they're working on. Maybe there's a lot to do with integrating other software/services. Maybe they've got a good devops org to help smooth the process for everyone. Sometimes having a few more people than you need on many levels makes the org a lot more resilient to individuals leaving so the org can keep on rolling without a hitch.
Wonder how much money & resources Shopify spent on all of their NFT features & integrations over the last months, how many people worked on it and how many of those are part of the lay-off now. I'd guess the support you'd need to provide for it and their tokengated commerce isn't little either.

Tobi removed all the NFT stuff from his Twitter profile and didn't tweet much about it for months now, after being pretty vocal about it until earlier this year.

Would love to hear his real thoughts on it and why he/they even (seemingly) invested so much into it. One of the few things I never got about Tobi / Shopify. Just seemed so late and weird to be so bullish there. Don't think he's the kind of person to push it just for personal gain, nor that he'd have to, but ...
I still don't understand what a "privacy card" is.

Oh, nice! Somehow I had missed this one and was wondering why nobody had created a cross-platform python viewer that's simpler than slicer. I'll check it out!

Brex has a feature where you can create vendor-specific cards, which I think is what's being referred to as the “privacy” feature. It makes it less disruptive to disable a card if a vendor leaks it, because it only interrupts payments to that vendor instead of having to update your card with every vendor.

I wasn't using that feature here, but it might be the case that the information that arrives at Google is just the issuer so they classify all Brex cards as “privacy” cards?
Ironically it's Amazon (just the e-commerce site, not AWS) that gives me most grief!

My theory about what turned the tide in favor of local support for transit is that business organizations were loud and clear about broadcasting the message, "We need this for Austin to be competitive." More than 42% of voters here have a distaste for density, public transit, and urban living in general, but a significant number of them were swayed to vote for the plan, and I think it was because of this pro-business message. These are folks who dislike cities but live in the suburbs and make their living from the urban economy, and they were willing to set aside their distaste and vote for transit. Like I said, it's just my personal theory, but I was impressed with how vocal the business community was before the vote.

> I don't blame some Ukrainians for feeling the way that they do

I can certainly see why they're upset but it's a problem with Russia's leader at the time, and not the culture right? If it's a long-standing cultural issue then I'd imagine some introspection would also be required, which seems like it may undermine the whole notion.
Regarding the Amazon tracking part. There is no requirement to use the card yourself, you could just hand it down or sell it.

While the majority of people might still redeem the code themselves, you can't automatically assume that the person who bought it is the one using it.
If you are big enough to matter to Google, you will have a legal department. Your legal department will resolve this stuff by contacting Google's legal department. Even as a small customer, detailing the issue and contacting the general counsel may get you some mileage. Getting stuck in the automated appeal denial loops for these companies is unlikely to ever get you anywhere. But legal > tech when it comes to ultimate authority to resolve disputes.
The community-run-hotspot model is 100% wrong for this because IoT nodes for sensing things like earthquakes and climate are more widely spread out than people who want to run hotspots.

The #1 model to make it work is ride on top of the cellular network which already offers wide (but not that wide) coverage. The #2 model is to have a plan and do the engineering to figure out where you need to put up towers. Even then it is really hard to get universal coverage.

Why is this a big difference? I might argue that the idea that you need to intellectualize a strategy may be one of the points dismissed by the article..
What does 'knowingly' mean in your case. A lot of high-performance work is about tuning your intuition, not your intellect.

From the article: "The concept of a “genius mastermind” is itself outdated, because it assumes that someone needs to be in control. "
As much progress has been made in EVs, I have no interest in sitting atop of a napalm bomb while zipping around town. There's a few problems that keep me from being remotely interested in EVs, this is one of them. The others are range anxiety, energy storage portability and battery replacement costs.

If I run out of gas on the side of the highway, I call AAA and they can deliver me a couple of gallons of gas or I can walk to a gas station. If your EV runs out of juice, you have to have it towed to a charging station.
Voting with your feet has always been a BS argument, as will be "you can just choose not to shop here" after this behaviour is normalised across stores. Live facial recognition of any kind on cameras should not be legal unless we want to turn into another China.

Automating the whole process is precisely where it goes beyond reasonable. Automation makes it too easy to apply facial recognition constantly (which a physical guard would not do, or would only do after the fact by reviewing the recordings). Automation also ensures that the facial data is capable of being stored indefinitely, and that's unethical regardless of legality.
xD

I love that!
I want a dumber phone. A camera would be nice but I don't need one. All I need it to do is (how do I do a line break? 2 spaces at the end doesn't work)

- Make standard mobile phone calls and text (with a touchscreen)

- Support calls using SIP/VOIP

- Maybe an app or two, specifically signal so I can look at pictures, I don't need video to work

- No notifications (besides text when it's not on silent)

- If possible a really shitty browser that doesn't support JS but can handle searching google+wikipedia

The content is the key difference - doesn't require months of leetcode grinding.
Every year, while visiting family in France, we dedicate days to visiting these shops as well as brocantes (antique/vintage markets). I used to do the same in the US, starting as a child when I hopped around Salvation Army shops and garage sales with my mother. They are an incredibly important part of who I am and they have deeply shaped how I view things like commerce and consumption — and given my tech doings, they’ve tended to make me deeply cynical about modern e-commerce. But before I digress, I’ll agree that it seems gems are getting harder to come by. This is especially true in fashion where we’re starting to see the longer impact of fast fashion (see recent NY Times article entitled ~The end of the golden age in thrifting). I hope the world moves back in a direction where things we make will eventually hold real value past their first, second or even third owners.
Electric cars could totally be designed to be re-ignite-proof.

For example, you'd have the battery pack detect a breach - for example through a lack of pressurised coolant.

That would then trigger each battery cell to have a PTC resistor discharge it - that could be entirely mechanical.

The PTC resistors would discharge the battery in a few hours, maintaining the battery temperature at say 120C. As water is doused onto the battery, it will boil off.

As soon as the battery temperature cools below 120C, then every cell is guaranteed to be discharged.
> Do you have any say whatsoever how your data and content are used by, say, Facebook?

You're describing DRM. It doesn't exist for blockchain either - famously I can copy/paste NFTs all day long. And it's not clear whether most NFTs even provide any copyrights for the content they link to so you still don't even "own" the content in the legal sense.
I was in a similar place and changed jobs for 2x the pay. It has been a bit challenging and I do miss the culture/people/role at my previous place, but let’s see where this goes. I’m hopeful still!
I feel I can always go back if it gets really bad.

Ultimately 2x pay, say from 200 to 400, makes a huge difference to me, mainly with the current house prices.
I think the reason you don't see British restaurants that much in the US isn't that it's bad food, it's that a lot of traditional British dishes have sufficiently close equivalents in "down-home cookin'" American restaurants (as in a roast beef dinner) or in bar food (as in fish and chips) that there isn't much demand for anything more specialized. The full fry-up breakfast is something isn't so easily found here, but near me there's at least one themed pub that does serve one (although it's Irish rather than English).
ok good points ... I expected that. Yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder IMHO this counts only for a limited scope. Discussing this further would lead into a philosophical debate.
What I never got into my mind is "nostalgia". Nostalgia isn't worth of nothing for me. I tried but can't understand why this is for somebody anything worth because in my eyes it's like hold tight to something obsolete.
If you know Google doesn't provide adequate customer support, just don't use it?
I agree.

It's one thing to shadow-ban an obvious troll.

The problem is, just like censorship, where do you stop?

For example, I'm an infrequent commenter on Youtube, and then mostly perfectly agreeable, but just this one time I posted a scathing comment on a video. And just this one comment was shadow-banned, I'm guessing at the request of the video author. I tried to show my comment to a friend, and the comment simply did not exist for them, or for several other accounts.

I find this kind of selective ghosting, 'invisibly' deleting any critical comments, to be extremely pernicious.
Disappointment?! It's amazing!

Ordinary people have FDIC insurance up to 250k and can spread their money across multiple banks for more.

So the people who would need to make use of this are those with so much money that they cannot insure all of it across all the banks available.

In other words, no, this does not effect "ordinary people" at all, it effects rich people.
We've been using Brex virtual cards with Google Ads and Google Cloud for more than 3 years with no issues.
The conventional wisdom suggests that governments should not be in the business of 'picking winners' when it comes to subsidizing industries.

Private funds can do whatever they want I suppose, but I wonder if there's a term for VCs that spend government-scale funds on things that look like long-term losers. Crypto and 'web3' are just the latest examples of this, and they're coming after a decade of equally uninspiring ideas like social networks, food delivery, Uber, Airbnb and WeWork.
> too much data to process

That's not true, it's their choice not to process the data manually.

Google loves to leverage developers and code to fix every problem, including (especially?) customer service. In particular, they hate manual labor and seek to automate everything -- which is a horrible approach when it's applied unilaterally to all aspects of business relationships and customer service.

At some point, Google needs to grow up and learn that being clever only takes you so far. As it is, Google leaders seem to love computers and money, not people. I'd wager 20:1 that anyone at Google reading this thread takes action by tweaking algorithms, not by restructuring the company to help customers in person.
As a rule, when interviewing, I want to get to the boundary of a candidate's knowledge quickly. Questions they ace provide not much information (once it is established that they ace them), questions where they're totally out of their depth neither.

A bit provides maximum information when the chances for 0/1 are fifty/fifty.

So, agree with the sentiment

> a good interview puts you in a position where you are struggling and out of your expertise

as long as you are still at the boundary of your expertise, and have a realistic chance to make some progress.
GameStop is a meme. It isn't the whole market.
Sure, and I subscribe to a number of newsletters that dig into issues like that regularly. I just didn't see enough information on the linked site to make it clear that is what was happening. My question was an honest one: if the point is to demonstrate that the rush to fill a 24-hour news cycle is unhealthy, then great! But the selection of articles seems to focus on the latest news just the same, with a delay of three months.

It seems both too late to report on Omicron from a preventative point of view, and maybe also too early for an in-depth look back, especially in April when issue #45 was published with an article entitled "The arrival of Omicron." If you want to look back in depth, maybe focus even earlier than three months ago. And I you want to focus on current news, well, I'm still not sure the point.

I'm getting a lot of mockery here for a bare link to a site that doesn't explain itself well. The rush to judgment might suggest that you all need to engage in a bit of delayed gratification, rather than piling on. At least I poked around enough to notice particular article titles and publication dates.
Thank you for voting a honest question down. I just wanted to understand.
Well that will just cement my lack of relationship with Google and ensure that my business goes to AWS.

Considering that many banks are doing this sort of service to protect you against data breaches, I can't see how this is actually an appropriate policy.

I called it quits with Amazon after my last three orders:

- Received a clearly counterfeit product (not even a good attempt at a fake)

- Received a product that looked nothing like the description with a note included offering me a $10 Amazon Gift card for providing proof of giving the seller a 5 star review. I reported this to Amazon and no action was taken.

- My last order, the product never even arrived. No response from the seller despite repeated attempts. (In Amazon's defence, a refund was quick and painless once the 2 week waiting period ended)

In all of these cases, the sellers had thousands of 5 star reviews. I feel a turning point will come where Amazon will either have to do some major housecleaning to fix the gaming / fake reviews, scams, and counterfeit products that infest their entire business, or customers will reach a breaking point and leave en-masse.
For those who are looking for something in-between but closer to the dumb phone side, I'd recommend the Kyocera DuraXE (also sold as the DuraXV).

I'm quite happy with it. It's got exactly what I'd want: decent camera, the ability to (very slowly) type out a text message if needed, the ability to (clumsily) browse the web, and is super rugged. You can also side-load APKs if you really need some app too (e.g. maps).
True, but I feel like Defense is pretty safe these days.

do you realize it's our economic system and the perversion of technology to literally criminalize cooperation and the sharing of information (intellectual property regime (read the book Abolish Silicon Valley by Wendy Liu for more) for one of two groups of people (workers and owners)?

Yeah... they said that, and then provided basically no details on what was actually meant in "the most important step".
Personally, I hadn't thought of it this way (mostly dismissed the idea). I'm sure it's a much different experience and one would have to experience it to properly judge it. I think the difficulty with the other, more generic, platforms was that the question of "what is the point" came up, a lot. And when users got to define "the point", sometimes "the point" was pretty disturbing ... most of the time it was just boring.

My biggest concern is that I've yet to find a VR headset that I can use for more than about ten minutes before feeling nauseated from motion sickness. I'm told this is somewhat/mostly solved and I've used higher end gear but it's been the same result for me every time.
I was also disgusted and surprised by the NFT shit Tobi and Shopify pulled (still pull?). But I'd be surprised (again, lol) if they had more then a dozen people working on that stuff.
You shouldn't use a vpn to protect you from 3-letter agencies. Assume they already have the access they need regardless. You should be using this to protect you from private companies hoovering up your data, for that, a vpn is essential.
In my experience the specialists just offload this problem (and any other imaging tech problems) to their radiology provider, and while that might be a local phenomenon, I’d hazard a guess that it’s universal.

Speaking personally, I see what you mean, but one thing that I _really_ like that a lot of UI has been leaving by the wayside is making it clear when something on-screen is supposed to be interactable.

Buttons look like buttons. Menus are always in the same place (in-window or top 'o the screen, macOS style) instead of having to play "find the hamburger" in every single application. Title bars are exclusively for identifying and manipulating windows. You don't have to worry about accidentally clicking some control when you're just trying to move a window.

The titlebar thing really gets my goat. Firefox uses the titlebar as a tab bar, so you switch or close tabs if you try to grab the titlebar to move things around. Slack has a big ol' search bar in the title bar. macOS[1] Mail.app and Calendar.app litter the titlebar with buttons. One of the basic functions of the window manager, _moving windows around_, has been hijacked to put controls there in the name of reducing clutter when we have _insanely_ high DPI displays and we can easily afford to give a little screen space to a few controls.

Drives me crazy.

90s GUIs were obsessively focused on making the function of something apparent based on its appearance. You learn a few different common controls, and you know how everything works, and it's consistent. [2]

Modern UI has sacrificed discoverability, and to some degree usability, for style. You can have both, but no one seems interested in that.

[1] I'm at work, so I'm on mac. At home I run pop!_OS and KDE, but I have similar complaints there.

[2] I mean, not always. There are of course a thousand examples of shitty applications not playing nice, but lots of really heavily-used applications did.
What is the threat model where correlating the payment with the account number is the main threat? If you can relate the account number to Mullvad traffic, then isn't it far easier to monitor the traffic and see what IP is connecting through it (my local ISP IP)? And if you cannot, what harm is there in knowing someone uses Mullvad? I pay by bank card and I don't see the risk here.
