It's my understanding that what's happening in society is a reflection of what's happening in A majority of individuals. As individuals that have not worked out their karma form into groups, those group dynamics create the very conditions we find ourselves in. So until there's a significant change in The majority of individuals there won't be a significant change in society.
Anecdotes are neat. I have a lot of friends and family who work in education and in medicine. Some are union, some aren't. The unionized workers are really happy to have the support of their union. The COVID pandemic was brutal on both industries. I recall one of them saying, "I feel like the only people that care about what happens to me is my union."

The parents are responsible for what their child reads.

To me, that doesn't translate to defining what other parent's children get to read.

If some folks think fart/butt books are not appropriate for their children, that's fine. They should tell their kids that, and follow up to make sure the child's behaviour reflects that view.

This is true for gay people, but not for those who identify as trans. Instead, their activism seeks to fundamentally redefine women and men as based on gender identity, rather than sex.

I mean, it would be great if males who enjoy doing things that are stereotypically considered feminine, like applying lipstick and wearing skirts and dresses and so on, would acknowledge that they are men challenging restrictive gender norms. Instead, most of them want to be regarded as women both legally and socially.

In my opinion, this is a step backwards, as it embraces stereotypes rather than challenging them. It's also incompatible with gay rights as previously understood, because this activism redefines sexuality in terms of gender identity instead of sex.

Bitcoin provides an easy way to send money across borders. It's a hellhole if you want to get money across by using traditional banking system, because there's a lot of debt involved and the fees just skyrocket.
Title is misleading. Bank tells customers to not update yet until they have a fix out...

Which is unfortunate but doesn't seem super unreasonable.

You only have a few months to find and fix bugs before beta software becomes full release.

And that's only if you found the bug in the beta version to begin with.

as someone posted, 500K was like 20 years ago.. it is now a million dollars.

and no one said they have 'exclusive accountants'. There are accounting services where you pay them for a few days work and they take care of all your bills for you.

I've only met one multi-billionaire in my life and can assure you that he has never seen his bills, let alone pay them.

He doesnt even own a smart phone, because he has assistants who handle most of that for him allowing him to focus on one thing - making money.
That's been how it's been for years now. Every year. I'm sympathetic to the argument that that's not enough time, but if your company has a mobile app on iOS and you're not planning to do this work every summer in time for the September release then it's a pretty major failure of planning.
That's exactly the issue. Writing an app once shouldn't mean a lifetime of maintenance. You shouldn't have to test and rewrite once a year (!!).

If I gave you a three month warning before punching you in the face, it doesn't make it reasonable for me to punch you in the face.
No, why would you think that?

One can model in UML anything between a bunch of classes, to a state machine to subsystems and entire systems.

One can model architectures in advance or after the fact. One can model while brainstorming or when discussing a design with another developer on the whiteboard.
Title is misleading. It was made primarily in Blender but not entirely in it.

From the article

> Blender was used in our entire pipeline aside from the FX department

Houdini was likely used for FX work since Blender isn’t quite competitive with it yet.

Additionally, this is about a single studio’s pipeline and not reflective of all the total work involved.
Fargate would be the closest.
Anything hot produces photons, and a working reactor would necessarily produce a lot of heat.

These photons can’t usefully be converted directly into electricity with the photoelectric effect, but they sure could be converted indirectly via the same mechanism that the fusion in the core of the sun is reduced to the band that current PV runs at.

Not sure if it’s worth doing that (may well be such a diffuser would be so large it would be easier to do something completely different), but that’s very different thing to your dismissal.
I gotta know: from the steamy air, or because you take the iPhone into the shower?
That's FUD.
I know many rich people maybe one qualifies as ultra rich ($100M+, private jet with crew). Some have assistants but they all access their own banking. They move money around, check balances, dispute fraudulent charges etc.

But all the rich people I know are in tech or banking/investing, and made, not inherited, their money.

As an aside, my guess is that average tax rate for the techies is 40% but probably <30% for the bankers.

As the other child comment said, are you shipping _all_ logs? For a K8s cluster of a few nodes, sure, you might send `/var/log/*` out, but that doesn't scale. If you have weird Kubernetes problems like mysteriously dying containers that don't trip 137 (hello, non-init processes [0]), you will need to dive into kernel messages. For this particular example, there is to my knowledge one poorly-maintained package [1] that fixes this, but it also requires at the very least some Linux capabilities that might raise eyebrows with security, and as written it requires privileged containers. Thankfully this particular example will hopefully be fixed with cgroupsv2, but still.

SaaS DB like RDS is another example. I've seen mysterious growth on a read replica, which was fixed by restarting it. Temporary intrinsic tables were not the cause, if you were wondering. No noted errors were logged in its error log it shipped out, and of course the general log wasn't enabled because it generally gets absurdly large. Had this been a self-hosted installation, there may well have been clues that would have been available only by logging into the host.

"Cattle, not pets" is an admirable goal, but sometimes you have to play veterinarian on a few of your herd to figure out what illness is spreading, and how to inoculate against it.

Who Is Responsible for Your Safety?
> If you're familiar with Bitwarden you're aware there is a Vault lock. When the laptop started and FF was launched, the extension got greyed out immediately. This means there's some sort of preflight init right after browser starts.

Your devices were online and their server reachable but returning erroneous messages, if we have to go based on their forum response "in most cases, your IP is most likely getting flagged by cloud protection services as malicious activity" maybe even because of a third party provider.

> So I went on to support forum[1] to learn this problem is recurring. And while I was typing my message, I have seen several messages deleted by the staff. Same happened with mine.

While I can't speak for this problem, I understand this is frustrating and agree that the staff could have managed the situation differently, but they possibly knew about the outage and were simply de-cluttering the forum from what I imagine were dozens of messages about the same problem popping in at the same time.

> It's an outage that indicated that you can loose access to BW Vault anytime they have an outage, means you can loose offline access even if the docs say otherwise[2].

By definition, during an outage you lose access to the service, whatever it may be.
Their docs say nothing about them, they state that while your devices are offline the clients can still be unlocked and used in read-only mode.
While this means that in theory the apps could work while their services are not reachable for whatever reason, be it the device being offline or their server being completely down, this was not the case.
I agree that they could improve the experience, so that if their services are not working as expected the clients revert to offline mode until the issue is resolved. This however is not an easy problem to manage and could only be an extra bonus feature to their service.

> Given all that, where is my fault exactly?

Sorry, maybe I didn't use the correct language, when I said you were at fault I wasn't of course talking about the outage, but you having issues logging into your accounts because everything is saved in Bitwarden. My point was that while their software is extremely convenient, it should not be the only place that stores all the means of accessing a service.
Reading your post at first glance made me think that because of this outage you could not access credentials + TOTPs + recovery codes. but seeing
> I'm lucky enough to have the offline access to the storage.
I don't know about that anymore

> ...the iPhone's vault was in locked state as well but did not show any operational errors.

Does this mean that the iPhone app was still working or was it locked like the rest?
Marco did have a pretty massive rant this year about how terrible the beta process was and how he was getting told that bugs filed in July were "too late" to be fixed. It's certainly not a friendly process for small devs, but OP is definitely overstating how hard it is.
Law is like computer code, adding more of it to your application doesn't necessarily make it better.
The tiny sensors are a marvel of technology but have absurd levels of noise though. They're essentially unusable as traditional single-shot readout sensors in anything but exceptional light conditions. Internally phones take multiple shots and do an enormous amount of postprocessing for each shot. It's a completely different technique.

You can get a feel by how much post-processing is done by installing something like "opencamera" on a flagship phone, disable all filters and look at the raw file (if your phone allows it) and compare the results.

There’s tons of very serious Indian movies. They just don’t usually capture western audiences

Sholay is a classic , in the vein of Eastwood films.

Don is our take on Godfather

Rang De Basanti and Lagaan are also great films.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum , Dil Chahta Hai and other romantic dramas are also very serious but do have songs etc because they’re huge drivers of engagement.

In the west, people see the dancing as making the movie silly. But those musical breaks are prevalent in very serious films too. There’sa whole difference in cultural norms when it comes to cinematic language.

Agreed, FreeCAD is painful to use when you’ve been spoiled by Fusion or OnShape. I’ve tried using SALOME as an OSS alternative, it’s somewhat reminiscent of FreeCAD but something of an improvement. CadQuery is another possibility, but I would miss some of the drawing tools - full parametric CAD seems too limiting.
Why CVS and Walmart still print photos
This article appears to be misrepresenting what at least some of the statistics are actually saying. For example, in Germany, the percentage of people with higher education is lower because the system is set up to guide people into trades and apprenticeships, and that path through the education system probably doesn't qualify as "higher education". It's hard to know without digging into the source material, and touting that there are other education options besides college / university wouldn't support the policy attack the article is peddling.

Thanks. Great comment
1. This article combines vague connections between chess, Indian philosophy, chemistry, life advice, quantum, etc. While I support the author in writing about whatever they feel like, there is a question what the upvoters on HN see in this.

2. If we're discussing the title... the reason people "underestimate" causality is because they've tried to use it a few times, been really wrong and learned not to do that again because a rational person doesn't trust their own ability to reason causally. See also; chess. It is really hard to assign causality in a 40 move game with a relatively limited number of choices each move. Assigning causality in reality is even harder. Getting it right is a very specialist skill.
This article is all over the place. Chaos theory, Karma, Gaia theory, relationship advice, Einstein. It's got everything but a coherent story. Was this generated by an AI or something?
I remember when I was at Google (2013->15), the travel system was "gamified", and was an enormous waste of time. You had to come in at or below the median price for a trip. If you came in below the median, you could bank the difference and eventually use it to get a nicer hotel, first class upgrade, etc on future travel. And if you came in over the median, and had no banked credits, you had to get a VP to sign off on your expense report.

This all sounds great on paper, and I'm sure it reduced the travel expense line in Google's budget. But unanticipated effect was that you had engineers making mid 6-figure total comp spending way too much of their time finding travel deals so they could come in below the median. Talk about penny wise and pound foolish.
It’s highly enjoyable though it is also very nationalist propaganda in parts, which foreigners won’t pick up on. For the most part it never becomes an issue because the brunt of the movie is fighting colonialism and therefore quite appropriate and incredibly good. The end credit scene is the only part that I’d consider problematic from a messaging standpoint as it takes a hard line on who they celebrate and isn’t subtle about the directors political allegiances.

Anyway would really recommend watching it. It’s a wild ride, and incredibly well done. If you’re not from India, you can largely ignore the issues with internal politics

Technically competent is a big grey zone IMO. For example, I am sure Musk knows the details, limitations and technical aspects of the welding that takes place at SpaceX, but my guess is he isn't competent to do it.

That same example could be used for most of technology. I am sure Musk understands ML at a pretty solid level, but ask him to build or train a model and my guess is he wouldn't show "competence".

I think technical competence is also different then "could do it", e.g. I think Musk, Zuck could sit down and figure out most software related tasks. But it isn't a good use of their time. They have a good enough understanding of the technical limitations and requirements to lead people in product creation which has proven immensely valuable.

How is this bank blaming poor people by asking its rich customers not to upgrade to iOS 16? I'm struggling to understand where the logical jump is to, "The whole of British society is structured this way." Which way? I'm assuming you're replying specifically to the parent comments' "what rich people think about technology: make it sexy and powerful but I don't want to hear about ongoing maintenance costs," but not sure how this then implies poor people are being blamed.

Just seems like a flamewar comment that doesn't actually explain itself. If the whole rich vs. poor thing resonates with me on some deep ideological level, I can go ahead and pretend I understand what this all means. Maybe I can even respond with a supportive comment about something something Reagan Republicans.

It is weird to me how this community complains incessantly about things like lack of raises, nightmare interviewing processes, opaque promotion systems, micromanagement, abusive oncall, and forced attrition and also concludes "I am a rockstar god."

For a specific example, people often notice that higher pay is going to more recent hires in spite of being less skilled. It is very clear that the current system is not "the most skilled get the most pay" but when unions are mentioned people immediately retreat to this assumption.
> From what I know, e-ink tech is and has been very feasible, but is on hold since it's under patent. The company that holds the patent is notoriously slow to reach any licensing deals in a timely fashion to bring a product to market. Not to mention their exorbitant licensing fees. The end product turns out to be to expensive to market.

"From what I know". Could you clarify? This is first hand knowledge based on industry experience?

Could you please cite which specific patent you're referring to and what you mean by "e-ink tech" and "has been very feasible"? I'm assuming you actually have detailed knowledge of the display technology. Could you also please cite some evidence for the "notoriously slow to reach any licensing deals"? I'm assuming you actually have detailed knowledge of these licensing deals you're referring to. Hopefully your citation will be something other than a HN post by a throwaway account and blogs that cite that specific HN post and other HN posts that infinite loop circle back on those blog posts. Hopefully you'll give the rest of us first hand evidence and a reply based on actual experience that you personally have from years working in the electrophoretic display industry where you were held back under E-Ink's titanium and carbon coated jack boot and patent-waterboarded with high viscosity electrophoretic solvent? :-D That's the evidence the rest of us have been eagerly seeking to see and hear. I look forward with bated breath. Thank you.

I ask this, perhaps a little comically disingenously since I work in the display industry (not for E Ink) and I've asked the exact same question so many times on HN and have never gotten even a remotely satisfying answer which makes me think your extremely confident claim in your post, like the many before it are just Dunning Kruger in effect. But I'll still keep a sliver of a slightly open mind so that I can be convinced. Otherwise, I would recommend everyone treat your type of comment as equivalent to someone in the farming industry alleging that a good solid operating system has been very feasible but IBM is holding back the software industry with their patents and is notoriously slow to reach any licensing deals.

It depends on the digital good. In order to make essential necessities to anywhere near scale of our needs requires automation.
