I think there's a little more nuance to this. In the engineer's head these things (dogs, shoes, etc) are technical challenges to overcome. It is part of the puzzle that drives engineers. I don't think they're thinking much about how this data can be used to sell more shit and spy on more people (plenty do, but you'll see even here on HN there's plenty of people saying it is "useless" data). So it isn't hard for a PM to say "Hey, can we record that data so we can improve our models" and then a marketer be like "Hey, if we're collecting this data, can we use it to sell more shit?"

It isn't a new observation (same way you get engineers to build weapons), but I'm laying it out more because I think it encourages engineers building stuff to understand how the data they are collecting to solve problems can also be abused (or how whatever you are making can be abused). Like another commenter said, you can turn off the features but they are less useful. Data is a double edged sword.
I have it on my todo list to revisit the Rust implementation at some point.

probably the opposite.

In the black plague, most of the wealth was durable physical assets like land, tools, farmhouses, ect.

In modern economies, wealth usually buys services and consumables. Less cheap labor will be a big hit to these costs. To make things worse, the workers will have to financially support a large aging population with a shrinking young demographic.
A lot of intrusive and weird functionality comes bundled with products that consumers would not ask for individually. I can easily see someone wanting to by a little vacuum cleaner robot to keep the floors clean while at work - without realizing it has the ability to determine what kind of couch it is bumping into and relaying that information to some server somewhere.

Once AT&T 3G shuts down, chances are it won't be able to connect to the network due to how it logs on. While the AT&T site[0] says "will decommission our 3G networks on February 22, 2022", but it's actually been pretty slow with 3G still lingering in many places and others getting it turned off around the time they're working on 5G deployments utilizing the now-free spectrum[1,2]. They probably could've fixed this by updating V10 with only the modem changes but they want people on V11 more.

Using power from solar panels to synthesize food (or at least, food components like starch). It turns out this can be done much more efficiently than photosynthesis.

I bet this will lead to a agricultural revolution similar in magnitude to the Haber-Bosch process. It will also soften some of the impacts from climate change, both by improving food security and by allowing re-wilding of land currently used for agriculture.

It's not being talked about because people already hate the idea of "processed food" with a passion, let alone the concept of food produced without involving plants. So it will probably make a sneaky entrance via bulk stuff like starch and oils.

Hi I'm the author of Linen.dev. I can elaborate a bit on this. There are a ton of free tools that offer some form or another of this service. About half of the communities that are using Linen have built something similar themselves.

We offer a bunch of little things that you might not build but are very helpful:

* We support real time message sync in addition to historic uploads

* We support sitemaps for large communities since our largest community has over 50k members and almost a million messages and it makes it easier for google to find the conversations

* We support emoji and image attachments

* We offer anonymization for your community members so it hides display name as well as profile pictures.

We charge a higher price for premium account because we are 2 full time engineers working on this and want to hit profitability so we can be around for the long run. We are still experimenting with the pricing model so if pricing is an issue let me know.
OP here. It's not new as in "under development" new. It's newly released on Switch, but I've been working on it for over 2 years now on and off and it was released on Steam last year for PC/Windows.

This project was never intended to be a full time job (or even lead to one) and it was never about making money, either. If that were the goal I would have probably ended up with a very different game in order to appeal to the mainstream and give me more chance of (monetary) success.

For me this game was more about the process of creating something that is 100% an expression of me (and my son). I created it for the sake of creating it, nothing more. And I enjoyed every second of the process to the point where it's kind of sad it's over now. That's not to say it was always easy mind - it was painfully difficult sometimes and I almost give up in frustration and disillusionment many times.
Git excels at tracking human keyboard output. A productive developer might write 100KB of code annually so a git repo can represent many developer years of collaborative effort in just a few MB. That is, unless you require git to track large media files, third party BLOBs, or build output.

However, sometimes tracking these things are necessary, and since there isn't an obvious companion technology to git for caching large media assets ("blob hub?") or tracking historical build output ("release hub?"), devs abuse git itself.

I wish there were a widely accepted stack that would make it easy to keep the source in the source repo, and track the multi-gb blobs by reference.

This exactly. Trying to live outside the collection is very difficult.

A few years ago non-smart phones became untenable for use in basic civil society.

More recently, an older smart phone or without face/touch enabled became hard to use.

Recently, in cities like NY, due to QR-ification, going out without a smart phone meant issues getting menus.

Now, the big ones are starting: end of cash, and civil life tracking. The NYC oyster-card equivalent for subways is per-user and sells data, per the ToS. The tap-to-pay subway turnstiles log per-station use (and therefore your travel) for your credit card provider. Many restaurants can’t do cash easily bc the proliferation of Square and what overworked civil servant is going to force mom and pop coffee shops to take cash? The laws on this got hazy a while back anyway. TSA/clearcheck or w/e in airports that use biometrics. Opt out options, besides being inconvenient, label you as what to the TSA? Drivers license photos are auto-sold to CBP facial rec tools and similar. Where is the opt out for that?

This isn’t conspiratorial. it’s just the slow march of clever tech that works well so people who don’t understand the privacy tradeoffs or don’t care buy it, the purchase defines network effects which defines implied user preferences which defines new product choices which defines larger networks… which becomes more and more difficult to opt out of.

If you claim this isn’t happening you don’t understand data eng and tech as a whole. The only thing saving us rn is the data eng part is really hard still.

The cable operators have been knowing exactly what channel you are watching for longer than 20 years ago. Think back to how long ago you switched your old analog cable box for a fancy digital one. That's how long. If you're not old enough to know about analog cable boxes, then it has always been true for you.

TVs just introduced the potential for a camera/microphone and the manufacturer receiving that info directly instead of just the cable co.

You might be interested in the work of Moshé Feldenkrais

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh%C3%A9_Feldenkrais

He's a fascinating person in his own right, a physicist who was also the first Westerner to earn a black belt in judo.

> On the eve of the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, Feldenkrais fled to Britain with a jar of heavy water and a sheaf of research material, with instructions to deliver them to the British Admiralty War Office.

Anyway, his "Method" is a kind of direct physical intervention to dispel superstition in the nervous system, returning the person to a more high-fidelity self-model, which in turn develops the qualities you mention above: strength (physical, emotional and mental) and the ability to self govern, which then permits taking responsibility (i.e. you can't drive a car if the steering wheel and pedals don't work, eh? You have to fix the car first, then you can drive it.)

(I would normally link to the Wikipedia article on the "Feldenkrais Method" but unfortunately it has fallen in with the "Alternative medicine" woo-woo stuff, which then makes the Guerilla Skeptics come in and crap on it. I wish I was making this up but that's really what they call themselves. Anyway, if you're interested get a copy of his book "Awareness through movement : health exercises for personal growth" and try it out. https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3AFeldenkrais )

As tempted as I am to agree, this isn't the direction that anyone in the industry is going. There are lots of lane keeping assistant systems coming onto the market now with similar capabilities to AP.

After watching thorough video reviews, the differences between the best systems are fairly minor.

One of the interesting things is that the US has effectively re-invented the 7.62x39 round (at a much higher per round cost) with same weight bullet and nearly same length, which is the .300 Blackout supersonic.

I have a repo that was almost exactly 5GB and it turned out that the storage was also used exclusively by pipeline logs and artifacts.

Found this recipe on StackOverflow to just nuke everything and worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71513286/clean-up-histor.... You can tweak it a bit if you want to keep the more recent pipeline runs.

For some reason I had to run this multiple times to completely remove everything; each run removes about half of all the pipelines and only when there were about 20 remaining did the script remove everything.
Sure, technically the data is available at every town hall. But the process of collecting and collating it is vastly different than the process of collecting it from an active mobile sensor kit in every home.

Collecting official records required paid workers scaling linearly with every record, and yields info that is out of date at best (how many small renovations are done without permits?).

In contrast, with these devices, your target pays you to buy and run the device, and it automatically collects live-up-to-the-minute data merely incidental to the standard operation of the device.

Car analogy: Police can technically observe every speeding incident and issue tickets, but it scales only with the hours worked. Change that to collecting data from every car's internal sensors (engine RPM, gear, wheel speed, GPS location, etc.) and issuing tickets for every infraction. Most of us would get five tickets from the first commute vs likely going more than five years without one.

Technically the exact same data availability, but the process of collecting it has insanely different results.
Yeah, MA is very keen on the separation between brain (what he calls the "directing mind") and body, to the extent that he thinks it's possible for the brain to ignore pain because that's the body's problem, and it's only something that makes the brain feel bad if the brain chooses to feel bad about it. If your philosophical framework looks like that then it's not really conducive to "fix the things in the outside world that make you naturally not feel like getting up", because the axiom is "none of that outside world stuff should be able to affect my brain unless I want it to". I find his writing interesting but this is one of the areas where my foundational beliefs and his are miles apart.
IIRC, Super Cruise hasn’t been around for long and is only available in certain GM vehicles. Their usage is certainly not at the level of Autopilot in terms of miles. I think when they hit that scale GM will also find out L2 systems are only as good as the driver’s attention span.
> What part of this do you consider lucky?

The part where the questions just happened to align with his misfortunes. And not even in a meaningful way.

This definitely isn't a movie about someone who made it big by struggling hard. He struggled for sure, but the fortune came not as a byproduct of his efforts, but by being lucky. I mean sure, luck is a factor in everyone's success. In his case, it wasn't merely a factor. It was almost all luck.

> Robinhood for Exercise

This is unclear to the point of being nonsensical. What most people know about Robinhood is that it offers free trades. More tech-savvy people might know that they became household names because they encourage retail investors to treat investing like gambling.

I have no idea how that maps onto exercise. The only hint in your pitch is toward the end:

> Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to “deposit” your exercise each time you get active and watch your fitness compound over time.

OK, now I can maybe see why you brought up Robinhood, although I don't think of Robinhood as a place where people watch things compound. Mostly they just ride the day-trading rollercoaster.

But set that aside: what does it mean to deposit exercise? How can it compound over time? Isn't the whole point of exercising regularly that the effects fade?

I think you might have something here, but you probably need to market more the way Noom does. They talk about science-based behavioral modification that helps people succeed at dieting, even if they had always failed before. And they make a case that only a mobile app can really succeed at this behavioral change.
I'm all for precision. Isn't the idea of "your" car being challenged here?
This is very much one of those just because you can't think of something does not mean someone else hasn't already. It's more along the lines of you're just not practiced enough.

From the FAQ page:

> How can you offer this service for free?

>> Due to the cryptoeconomics of Filecoin, data storage is provided for free today. This will likely change to some form of crypto-native payment model in the near future (e.g., staking Filecoin to increase storage limits), but will remain highly inexpensive due to Filecoin's economic model and 15B+ PiB of capacity. Today, we do subsidize the cost of overhead of running Web3.Storage, but the goal is to reduce this as Filecoin continues to improve (e.g., faster storage and retrieval). Please see here for more on Filecoin economics.

This sounds like a bezzle to me?

> What happens if Web3.Storage is discontinued?

>> One major advantage of using Web3.Storage is its use of IPFS, making it easy to move to an alternative storage provider. All of your data is accessible via IPFS, and you can simply export all of your CIDs and ask a pinning service to pin them without need to download or upload any data. You have this option even if you use Web3.Storage today and just want another redundant copy of your data persisted. And you don't need to change the URLs that your application is pointing to, since IPFS URLs are content addressable.

>> We don't expect to ever discontinue Web3.Storage, but if we need to, we'll give you 90 days' notice for you to make the easy switch.

Switching providers by adding a “pin” to a new provider sounds pretty neat, actually.

> How can I delete items from Web3.Storage?

>> You can delete files listed in your account. Simply log-in to your account and use the file manager on the files page. It's currently not possible to delete files via the API or the client libraries, but we are working on enabling that feature in the near future.

>> However, once a file is uploaded to Web3.Storage, there cannot be a guarantee that all copies of the file are gone from the IPFS network. As soon as a file is uploaded, other IPFS nodes can access and store a copy of the data. The data only becomes unavailable when the last IPFS node has stopped pinning the file, and all copies are garbage collected. As a consequence you should only upload to Web3.Storage files that you know can be shared with anyone forever, or are securely encrypted.

Oh right. I hope you trust your encryption algorithms for all data forever, cuz your files may be under attack by offline adversaries in perpetuity!
