People fall in the "deny" pool because of a longrunning PR campaign by the oil industry which leverages the "its complicated".

You can train people "its complicated, so trust the experts" or to "its complicated, don't trust the experts"

Totally agree. To some extent I'm even jealous of believers. It must be nice having that comfort. Not worrying. When I first realized religion was likely complete BS, it took me years to truly accept it and what it means for my life on earth. Which is that, this is it. This is all I got. And that's tough when you thought you had eternity to do whatever you couldn't get around doing on earth.
The speed limit is of no concern to the parent in a big SUV driving their kids to practice. After all, their own kids are safe inside the car.

And my point is that at some point, kids stopped biking everywhere. But it's the same people that used to bike around as kids now driving them everywhere. Hence my question: What happened?

Sorry to hear about your dad, but glad you managed to preserve a digital piece of him, I think there's huge merit in that type of interview... epilogue? That goes beyond what photos, writings and 'home videos' provide. As morbid as it seems I'd love to eventually give one.

I did the same interview with a great grandparent though it was on VHS (early 00s) and sadly I've since lost the tape. My fave part was having questions that subvert the traditional theatre of "we interviewed CEO xyz and here's their 5 planned out answers and platitudes" but actual unrehearsed conversation. I digress, make sure you back that recording up in a few places!
I didn't even knew that my favorite iPhone feature was listening to the music I want until Apple introduced forced shuffling, playing titles alphabetically and started disturbing built-in music player UX in order to push their online offering.

It's a typical Cook's Apple experience to listen to 10 tracks from different albums, all called "Outro", after album chosen by me finishes playing with a track called "Outro" and is set to repeat.

> My takeaway from that is that people will choose privacy if it doesn't cost them anything and is easy.

Agreeing with the above, an alternative take on the rest is that people will not choose privacy if it is expensive and difficult. This doesn’t mean that it’s not a necessity, just that they can’t afford it and/or can’t work out how to get it.

The organisations involved in invading end user privacy employ large numbers of psychologists to deliberately design things that make being privacy-conscious difficult (mentally taxing / expensive / path of most resistance). When the population at large is (unknowingly) fighting against an highly armed adversary, it feels uncharitable to claim that they don’t care.

We’re losing a war the vast majority don’t even realise is happening.
Funny enough, the infrastructure for that exists too, and you may not realize it … in the Tips app. What is lacking is the even just moderately advanced topics.

I suspect that the long-press alternative in software was found to be sufficient alternative to not warrant the force-press. I wonder if this is where we are going on Mac too where, e.g., force press to trigger definitions of words is a godsend especially when leaving foreign languages,
The point is the joke is not funny outside the US (or NA), and that was the joke - not being pedantic.
> Not only the bloat apps, but the spyware "Bixby" button you can't remap to anything else.

bxActions allow you to remap the button if you have a S9 or S10. It's a game changer having a user re-mappable hardware button, and I'll miss it when I upgrade from my S9.

For me - Play/pause is a single press; skip to next track is a double press; long press activates multitasking and double press and hold toggles the torch.
It's a receipt for disaster. Especially if they centralize it even more by replacing banks with a Central Bank that fully controls the Digital Currency. Which they are already planning and testing. This will be misused. And people can be controlled with this in a really bad way. If your Social Credit Score is low you could be taxed higher or even forbidden to drive your car or travel, for example. Your food choices could be restricted at any moment too if you don't behave.
They could be high volume though... There might be traders who run AI bots to scour Twitter and other news sources and do high frequency trading to earn money on volatility. Just like stocks and shares.
It's only "myseterious" because google will have everyone believe so. They certainly have some of (if not the) best tuned algorithms for indexing and querying on the planet, but there's no angel dust or dark magic at work.

Happiness - sure. It's nice to see the reef do well.

Optimism, no. I live in the area. We are going through a record cold snap, as in literally the lowest every temperatures recorded in some areas. And yes, the coral loves the respite. It's been accompanied by record floods, doing a record amount of damage. Which is to be expected - it's the La Nina pattern.

But record low temperatures, in a time when the base temperature is up 1C? That means the "other prediction" of climate change is coming true. The extremes are getting more extreme. And it's not the warming that's hurting us or the coral really, it's the extremes - just a few continuous days in a year when the temperature is +5C. That's what kills the coral - not the 1C average rise.

The reef isn't shrinking because the temperature gets so high it can't survive. That's always happened periodically. Once it gets that high it doesn't matter whether it's 1C over what the coral can tolerate, or 10C, or lasts for a couple of days or a month, the outcome is the same - the coral is dead. But if the high temperature is followed by 5 years or continuous growth, the coral re-colonises the area. What's been happening is we have been hitting extreme temperatures (both low and high) more often, and because the highs are more frequent the coral doesn't get a chance to grow back.

Remember those bush fires Australia has a few years ago - they were the worst we've even seen. Now we are laying down another fuel load. And it looks like the La Nina will persist for 3 years - another rare event, so the size of this fuel load will be another extreme. This cold snap will be followed by another record hot period, and we will move from losing billions to floods to losing billions to fire, again.

I'm not optimistic. I'm fearful.

> The screen actually had pressure sensitivity built into the physical screen and it would respond to a more forceful push into the screen.

I am soooo happy this physical feature is gone. Personally, I hated it.

I'm still a fan of the SE (give me touchID or death). I still want a touchID phone with more advanced camera capabilities.

This feature caused no end of confusion, even as an experienced iOS user. Completely fucked up any software trying to do long press detection. But even after adapting for that, the pressure differential for touching just didn't work.
The FreePascal project maintains a clone of the Turbo Pascal text-mode IDE that will run and interoperate w/ modern environments. But there isn't much of an equivalent even for C/C++, let alone BASIC, or other modern languages for that matter. Vim and Emacs just don't support the same kind of novice-friendly DX.
I checked the magnifier app on my iPhone 6s and couldn’t find anything related to narrating what it sees.

It’s very possible that recognition happens locally, Apple has been making efforts in this direction for other functions (photos) but maybe the 6s is just too old and can’t do it.

Yes, my entry into Turbo Basic was helped by this book,

One reason I get sour with C, is because I was tainted with having the opportunity to do system level stuff Turbo Basic and Turbo Pascal languages and environments before getting acquainted with C.

For decades now, SEOptimizers have constantly found new tricks to get their websites ranked higher than they should, while search engines have constantly updated their algorithms to make them harder to game like that.

These two things have co-evolved in response to each other, and what this article laments is the result of exactly that process.

But the interaction between SEO and Google search is way more complex than the article implies. In particular, the influence goes both ways, and it's not a clear one-way cause and effect relationship. Also playing into this are a lot of other factors, like the increasing commercialization of the web, how the online advertising business works, Googles dominant position in both web search and web advertising, etc...

I really don't think the solution to this can be as simple as "change how Google rewards keywords". It's not that simple.
There's a reason GitHub is the de facto host for OSS projects, I'd posit that open source maintainers who deliberately choose an unconventional host like GitLab already increase the barrier to contributions (not just due to network effects, but an unfamiliar UI, feature parity, poor performance etc) and this change would've already tipped the balance in my view and made it even clearer GitLab is not the right choice for OSS.

There may have been reasons to do this in the past (e.g. lack of integrated CI) but I'm not convinced those arguments really hold anymore in 2022. If you're a maintainer and prioritising interoperability and the lowest barrier to entry for potential contributors and you don't care about it being proprietary/owned by MSFT you pick GitHub. If you're prioritising a FOSS stack, good tooling offering and low-weight pages with excellent performance, you pick something like SourceHut.

For everyone reliant on software published by maintainers who have already made this decision historically, it's reassuring the right decision has been made here, but a bit worrying they were needing to consider a step this far in the first place. Combined with their poor pay for engineers (discussed to death here on HN already), it does make you think a bit about their finances.
It's just not true. Some years back (I think around 2017) I was showing to my colleagues how the phrase

"The magic of Google is gone"

in quotes brings a ton of irrelevant results, none of which contained the phrase or sometimes even any of the words (and no, it wasn't the suggested "results without quotes"). I also posted about it on an online forum which Google could at one point find as the only result, but now it's gone even though that page is still there, on the same forum. Today this phrase yields zero results and suggests some without quotes.

I could occasionally see irrelevant results for quoted searches until very recently, but I presume it's been fixed now.
They screwed up a lot, but the real reason they lost is because they were sabotaged at every step by Google. Remember the “oopsies” where Google sites were breaking on Firefox and the advertising and bundling onslought for Chrome.

Google was being obviously anti-competitive and the US authorities were giving zero fucks as usual.

I know somebody who blocked development of houses that would have disrupted their view. But rather than blocking it through lobbying, they banded up with their neighbours to buy the property that was going to be sold to developers.

This seems like the only legitimate form of NIMBYism to me. OK, you say that building housing here will disrupt your quality of life - then put your money where your mouth is. Andreesen no doubt could afford to do this as well, but obviously it is cheaper to lobby the government to stop it for you.

SailfishOS is continually improving and might be becoming an option for the US (assuming you're there, I haven't checked).

See, I didn't know that, and I've had iPhones since the 4 (a grand total of four devices), and am the sort of person who reads the manual in general, and likes to know all the features of a device I spend time with.

On the one hand, thanks for the tip! On the other hand, Apple has an enormous discoverability problem, it's getting worse, and they're responding by making the UX dumber instead of addressing it head on.
I think they understand it, but maybe they believe that advice is misleading. If you are enjoying it and having fun, then you are in your comfort zone, and that means you are improving at a much lower rate than your potential. This is true for any activity, from physical fitness to academic pursuits.

If you are in zone dominated by System 1 thinking and System 2 is on pause, then you are not building skill. There is nothing wrong with having fun in life for things that are not critical to you, but your core areas are developed with effort and focus.

I have not met a single successful self-made person that found success without struggle and focus on their craft.
For those who think this is far fetched and have the freedom to work remotely and want to experience most of the tactics from this article first hand, try moving to The Isle of Man.

If you’re British and work in tech you don’t even need a visa and the tax rates are good. Things will seem relatively normal for around the first year - sometimes longer sometimes less.

You’ll notice subtle negativity from people and think they don’t get it. But that’s what they want you to think. The low tax economy is a privilege the locals keep for themselves. They fund it by creating psychological hell for newcomers they don’t like using most of the tactics documented in the article and bleeding the targets dry. The police and justice system are totally complicit and will overtly signal they part of the game.

You will eventually have legal trouble and find the lawyers (called advocates on the island) do not provide any client confidentiality and lie to you while relaying any information they learn about you (all while bleeding you dry).

The locals all know each other. You will be told this and will initially think it’s quaint.

What they really mean is they are very practiced in messing with your psychology and everything you do will be observed and communicated by “nice neighbours” who are really the equivalent of Stasi informers. Repeating conversations or repeating information they research about your past in parallel stories is also what they do. Not seen the audio projection tech used but there’s a book published by Springer on the technology so it does exist.

Still sceptical? Look up the flag of the Isle of Man and then the flag of Sicily… draw your own conclusions.
I’ve only ever used 3D Touch accidentally and been annoyed by it. I still make accidental long touches in all sorts of apps and they do weird things.

I do use the keyboard cursor thing but to be honest text entry on a touchscreen has never really been good for me. I don’t think I’ve ever typed a sentence correctly in 15 years of iPhones. Even with autocorrect I’m often having to go back. Selection, cut, paste are all terrible. Tap somewhere and hope it offers to select a word but sometimes it doesn’t. Try to copy some text on a web page oops it’s a link. Tap elsewhere and try to paste but sometimes it doesn’t. Try to extend a selection and get weird multiline behaviour I can’t explain. Maybe I have the world’s biggest thumbs but it’s constant aggro that you just end up internalising.
Then your society has bigger problems than how purchases are carried out.

You're not quite right about NFTs. For example the "Lucky Block NFTs" entitle you to a percentage of a rewards pool. Or Vee Friends - Gary Vaynerchuk's NFTs - he's been very explicit that he will work to do things to increase the value of the NFTs. In fact, Gary Vee's pitch seems to be almost tailor made to meet the Howey test. I'm sure that A16Z were fastidious in their due diligence when they invested in it though.
Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I was part of the Kagi beta test and I think the results were on average better than Google, and not just for lack of ads. I'm not a Google hater either, but their systems are just not as far in front as they used to be.

The suspension points are there because trying to put actual words won't be as scary. A literal option would be "... we'll have summers an average 0.8C hotter". Which somehow fails to make me tremble in my boots, especially since it also means we'll have winters 0.8C warmer, which is a very very good thing.

I really like this trend of large research group writing more about the difficulties they encountered along the way.

Meta had also released a (much more detailed) "Logbook" when they published their 175b models in May: https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/blob/main/projec...

When you have activated the cursor move function by long-pressing the space bar, while still pressing the screen, tap another finger on the screen to move into selection mode.

The prior mention of defining the start and end points of the selection is a bit more tricky and may not even be an actual feature, which involves moving the cursor around in a kind of handoff between start and stop point. That’s trickier to describe because it fellas like it may just be a quirky behavior that can be manipulated.

The only place 3D Touch remains active is on the flashlight button on the lock screen.

> if they get _you_ to concur, then the defense against change has succeeded.

This is (unfortunately) a very common trap people fall into psychologically I'm convinced. And I can point to when in life I've done it, and continue to do it. It seems more related to 'feeling good' and then finding a way of (mentally) rewarding the fact that you didn't do something that you should have done.

Unfortunately, in large doses and in the long run, it's not very healthy and it's very close to how people get wrapped in conspiracy theories. E.g. it's not my fault everyone is against me. Why should I try when they're just going to reset the economy. Why should I have done differently, they still would have done X, Y, Z to me...

It's a comfort blanket pretending that there is some external barrier preventing you from doing things even if they are normally enjoyable.
