Many low level programming languages don't have them, including C, so while a nice feature, I don't see it as a killer feature, more like a nice to have.
I also like to call ads "mind control" because they are that manipulative, but it's hard to say that without sounding like a nutjob.

I don't think ads are inherently evil, but most ads are designed to exploit human psychology instead of just making you aware that a product exists.
FRB isn't how banking has ever worked, even when we used commodity money, but it's a relatively simple concept that matches peoples' intuitive sense of money as a fixed amount of tokens used to store wealth. But money's purpose is to facilitate transactions and be a unit of account which should be thought of through the lens of double-entry accounting, something almost nobody does.

Banks would always have tracked accounts via ledgers though, it's just that before fiat currencies they had reserve requirements in place to ensure banks kept enough currency on hand to handle day to day withdrawals.

Well, when it's that much heat, you're going to need a lot of water.

> move to a different model - stop showing your stuff for free.

what if that model was a contract to the viewer, wherein the viewer agrees to see all adverts? Currently this contract is assumed, or implied, but not enforced. What if it changes in the future?

For example, youtube could require that you have a webcam, and run a trusted-computing-module DRM code which forces your webcam to be on and recording your face to view their videos?
Looking at you, Zuck.
If enough of us used ad blockers, it could help force a systemic shift away from the attention economy altogether

It's worth putting serious thought into whether this would actually be a better web; I think it would likely be worse. Most sites today are supported by ads, and if that weren't an option we'd see some combination of paywalls, sponsored content, and sites shutting down.

(I used to work on ads)

Actually you just made it bogus, by bringing up a strawman argument. Who mandates that waiters should only be paid minimum wage? Or that they would have to yield tips in exchange for a fixed wage?
I do not see the need to differentiate the markets in the internet era. Any seller who wants to rent temporary accommodations can throw up a website, and any renter can search it, via multiple search engines, maps, or accommodation listings.

Perhaps for casual sellers looking to earn rental income on a part time basis, their only two options of easily reaching many people are Airbnb and Priceline (booking.com), but I am not sure how much of society’s concern that should be.
> Power generators that had been shut down could not ramp up in time to meet renewed demand

Not disputing this but can someone give a source on what power generators in the UK where shutdown during the pandemic and could not ramp back up ?

I've worked in a power plant and the gas combined cycle one I worked in could be shutdown and re-started in about 10 minutes (I know this as I actually shut one down by mistake).

The only power plants I think that work like this are nuclear which must continuously run once started albeit they can be run at a lower level if demand is low.

Edit: It's looks like for nuclear all I can find is Sizewell B was reduced to 50% for a few months but I can see it's back up to 100% now:

I have the Moonlander and am a big fan. I haven't taken real advantage of the open-source firmware other than customizing the layout so that is is as close to a traditional layout as I could make it, given the physical layout of the keys (this mostly has to do with where you put the backspace, delete, enter, |\, control, arrow, and other keys, not the actual letters).

It's well built and looks super cool, but the real reason I got it is because it encourages a more upright, shoulders-straight/non-hunched over position. I think regular split keyboards do a good enough job of taking care of wrist issues / carpal tunnel, but only these can really help with overall back/shoulder position.
That's a real problem, but will correct itself eventually. In the oldest parts of the oldest cities in the US, mostly the nicer old buildings survive for the long haul unless they have historical significance. (e.g. Paul Revere's house in Boston.) Eventually the value of building a nice building on that land will surpass the value of keeping a shitty old one there. I'm more concerned with the explosion of shitty quality "luxury" 5/2 buildings being blighted and falling apart right when they stop inflating market value in their neighborhoods and pushing people out.
Those are selected images though, so not representative.

Just launched an API to detect user mental health passively
If you asked me a year ago “what’s the invasive bit of technology you could make?” I’d probably have said something like this “technology that can predict how you feel”. So I went and built that...

All jokes aside though (and I am joking!), I'm finally (officially) launching Sahha's API. What does it do? It analyzes user behavioral data (steps, sleep, phone locks...) collected through mobile devices to understand their mental health state.

Why did I build it? I believe that great technology products deliver better value, care and interventions because they understand their users needs deeply. As the world gets more complex and digitally integrated it means that new sources of data are available to improve how we build digital health care solutions and beyond. I think Sahha can empower those solutions.

Most likely you but also everyone involved in building and growing Sahha has a mental health story, and for the most part I feel as if I am doing my life’s work with this project.

Today is a pretty big day we’ve gone live on Product Hunt and the product is mostly stable as of now.

The real world example is more illustrative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip

Essentially the company pays it’s employee an IOU Token that can be redeemed at the company store or for housing etc. In this case it’s the willingness to trade goods for these tokens that give them value rather than Taxes, but it’s the same deal. After the value has been established people are willing to take out loans in script etc. But just like your example the company doesn’t inherently value having script just maintaining the illusion that script is worth something.
This system is already being gamed, and it has been for years. You can find comments on Reddit by marketers who describe how they create organic-looking accounts, and then find recommendation threads and promote their brands there.

People know how to write content that looks organic. Some people get caught, but others are fairly skilled at slipping marketing material into ordinary threads. I'm not even talking about the karma-farming bots out there--it's much easier for a bot to farm karma on Reddit than for an unaided person.
They are simply too big, and their results too unpredictable, to reliably prevent harmful results.

That seems like a surprisingly deep philosophical statement on society in general. And IMHO, along the same lines, "reliably prevent harmful results" is not something that should be pursued to exhaustion.
> you're accessing content paid for by adverts, but you aren't contributing to that payment.

If the content is paid for by adverts, then of course I am not contributing to that payment. Because I am not an advertising company, so by your own logic I didn't pay for the content. What's the problem?
> you could choose to pay or not pay. It would be totally okay not to pay

it was never OK to never pay at a grocery store. But some stores don't want the cost of enforcement, so accept some losses from stealing.

Whether this argument applies to web based ads is difficult to say. I don't agree - but there's valid viewpoints out there do agree.

I started using numpy around 2007 and didn’t see reliable binary installs with good numerical performance until I discovered anaconda, much later (2016?). Maybe I hung out with the wrong people, or libraries. Some libraries did not have compiled wheels a few years ago, and M1 macs still run into the very occasional issue.

I wonder if:

The energy crisis will put pressure on scientists to optimize code? I've come across hideously unoptimized code in my career; where merely understanding general basics about the compiler / OS / database result in significant improvements. (And thus less energy consumption.)

There is a market for moving supercomputing to places with lower energy costs?

My Galaxy S2 still works, it even has decent battery life (at least a day). But would I want to use it? No. I like technological improvements. I buy a new phone because I want new capabilities - and that's bound to its computing performance. If I wanted to just call and send SMS, I would've kept using my Sony Ericsson from 2007, that one also still works flawlessly.

Most people I know - techies or not, even the grandmas - have drawers full of working phones. Clearly longevity is not the problem.

> big reason for this is that employers (especially medium-to-large businesses) have a much higher purchasing power (and hence, willingness to pay) than individuals.

I'm going to call you on this point, because what you're hinting at, whether you realize it or not, is that employers need to step up their medical care spend management game, which if implemented, looks damn near dystopian. As someone that works in insuretech, the number of times I've raised concerns about revealing too much about the shape of medical spend to employers is scary to quantify, because once you start going down that road, it isn't that far to "huh, 20% of our workforce is 80% of spend" hrrrm...

We do not want to be going down the road where employers are singled out as the appropriate optimizers there.

Wait, I might not be understanding the threat model here. The situation I imagined was: persons A and B are spouses, A wants to track B, so since A and B are in a family unit, A would want to disable the "You're being followed" alert for B without B knowing.

If A had to coerce B to turn of the alert, then the alert would have already served its purpose to tell B that they're being tracked by A. Moreover, there should still be some interface which B can use to figure out which AirTag is following them, so person B would 1) know that A is tracking them in general, and 2) have the ability to check whether A is tracking them in the moment.

Please explain what additional information or utility the continued notification is giving person B in this moment, or if my understanding of the hypothetical is wrong.

Employees seldom are evil cartoon characters. Banality of evil, and all that.

It's the system as setup which is the problem. When faced with such a hard problem, there are basically two outcomes:

- oh well, carry on then

- maybe we shouldn't be doing these things, and make a drastic change?

I know, the second option is almost laughably absurd.

Is it one of TI’s custom ISAs for their DSP line? The TMS430, for example, has a 16 bit char. That causes some unintuitive looking code to fight that.
Negative - as mentioned in a couple other comments here, a different industry. Not a really large company either, like 1700 people, which is a good place as a private firm with a 60% margin on professional services and low overhead…

I worked at Best Buy so I recognized the signs immediately. The expression was “man he/she really bleeds blue” and if you hung out with the managers after work - because they all hung out together (and drove the same Scions lol) - you’d be in line for the next promotion. For some people that was a good path. Store Manager life and pay is legit.

It’s definitely a “high school hero” type thing where there’s not of lot of experience with leadership outside of sports like football. If it’s all they know, yeah, it’s their playbook.

Not necessarily - bunch of languages have adopted JSX with slightly or substantially different component semantics from React (for example Vue, Solid, Forgo, Crank).

A Crank component (which is an async generator) feels very different from a React component. Likewise for a Forgo component, which uses closures for state and doesn't have automatic rerenders. Solid doesn't have components in the traditional sense at all.

Although the syntax they use for representing HTML is the same, the rest of the framework can have arbitrary design.

Reminds me of the old fivestar.io - which aggregated Amazon reviews back when they were somewhat reliable. It would bucket them by price category (highest rated products in the $100-$250 category)

Back when searching "best [product] 2014" was actually a way to find good stuff on the internet - fivestar was able to generate those answers on-the-fly. I'd find I'd spend an hour or so researching something like a router, plug "router" into fivestar, and my pick would be at the top of the list. Those days are gone for the same concerns others have raised for your site. fivestar worked until reviews started to get gamed.

This is an awesome website and I see myself using it. I hope it doesn't meet the same fate!

> rather pragmatic decision given corporate capitalism

Supporting a system that centralized designs of critical semiconductors in the hands of few companies and manufacturing in the hands of TSMC is not very pragmatic. If anything it's very ideological.
> You build antifragile systems by creating networks where the failure of any one component is not just expected, but actively welcomed and designed for. Distributed systems engineers understand this intuitively; any highly reliable system is constantly failing internally, but the system is set up with multiple independent paths to success, such that failure just routes traffic to the non-failing components.

Antifragility is benefitting from things breaking, not just coping with things breaking.
> I also seem to remember that the story went on to say that Crowley at one point had been praised for his work in the Spanish Inquisition. That was the first he'd actually heard of it--humans had come up with it on their own--so he went and had a look, and then went and got blind drunk, because there are some things even demons would rather not think about.

Well, it makes sense that demons wouldn't want to think about strict judicial procedure and rules of evidence.
Thx for the link!

I actually like how that probably strongly pushes towards const-correct design just to be able to omit the second list...
You're assuming that viruses don't have natural reservoirs. For example, viral hemorrhagic fevers, particularly filovirus VHFs, are both highly transmissible and highly deadly -- accounting for their history of rapid, fast-growing, and quickly-diminishing epidemics amongst humans -- but have stable zoonotic reservoirs that allow them to circulate freely across those populations. (Bats' unique immune system, like camelids, makes them a particularly good evolutionary proving ground for viral evolution, so they serve as a reservoir and a source of ongoing viral mutations.)
You mean "hyphen-ridden" and "loses".
We all know why Google is doing this to bring online their rules for allowing their ads to be served independent of these ad blockers. We're not stupid, Google. But you gotta wonder if the monicker "Embrace. Extend. Extinguish." is better suited to GOOG than MSFT nowadays.
I think my perspective on the "standard unix" approach of "it's bytes with ASCII or whatever" is different, because my native language uses the "whatever" part.

In pre-Unicode times I couldn't reliably grep for "żółw", or consume a CSV file with it, or share a file with anyone on a different platform, because it may have been in ISO-8859-2 encoding, or Windows-1252 which was subtly incompatible, or in MacCE, or in one of three AmigaOS encodings. I've had printers that had "it's just bytes" encoding, so I had to convert files to a character encoding used by a particular font file, which varied between font sources and printer brands. I've had to deal with files from a popular MS-DOS editor which invented its own character encoding. I've had to convert files to encoding of "Reverend John Pikul", because he was a prolific author of printer drivers, and created his own encoding.

The "strings are just bytes" systems were a shitshow for me. It's a broken approach that is impossible to fix. Nobody cares what those "garbage" bytes actually mean. So when strings are UTF-8-or-garbage, these non-UTF-8 bytes are someone's "żółw" becoming "???w", or a `String + bstr` is "¿ó³w".

Agreed, in addition the amount of personal information advertising companies collect is staggering and incredibly creepy. I believe an exposed API link was posted to HN some time back that allowed you to query your data from one of the big ones, I like to think I take some care with who I give that data to, but they had almost every phone number, home/work address, email address, social media profile, etc. I'd used over the past 15 years.
