Really it's the executives taking any pay cut. Just never. Gotta keep the ratchet going. Anything else. Pay cuts are for the little people, basically.

All the gains in wages since like 1980 has gone to people with subordinates. All. Leaf node employees have gotten nothing, cuts in fact.

Because then there wouldn't be inflation rate rises depression ever. Executives couldn't pass the raises to leaf node employees on directly to the leaf node employees, they'd have to look at their own shit and say, OK I can travel a bit less.

Alpha primate thing. Never get less. Ratchet. Same goes for doctors.

Those are axioms presented without evidence. It’s trivial to find counter examples.

Could always cut out the chip and place it on another recipient card. Nobody looks at the card for chip+pin transactions, but you’ll lose “tap” payment ability.

I suppose you could get an “associate card” and destructively disable the chip and magstripe to accomplish your goal.

If you aren't Google, manually doing that with 5+ billion images might prove difficult, to put it mildly. Large-scale labeling is typically bootstrapped with smaller models and whatever manual data you have. What's being curated is the bootstrapping process.
I found this very similar to what you'd get with a google / bing / etc image search. Is that where this database comes from? I noticed there is a lot of "Shutterstock" watermarked stuff. And I also checked a few "adult" terms (large breasts etc) and found there is a lot of nude content. Only curious because I've seen lots of the generative models have some post-filtering for nudity, why don't they just clean it out of the training data if they're worried?
Yeah, I don't agree with 100% of their political positions (though, to be fair, it is rare that I agree with 100% of anyone's political positions, including my own), but they are really trying to change the way people consume their products. And, many of their products are truly built to last. I have two jackets (one insulated, one a fleece) that are 15+ years old and have been dragged through the dirt, mud, rain, and snow all over the U.S.
What "treat" are you referring to? Employees need to be compensated for a company to be competitive.

Officially the poverty rate is actually somewhat lower in the US than most countries in Europe. But it seems unlikely it's measured the same way, or that it necessarily translates to more people being unable to access basic services (health, housing, power etc.).
Coming from a still enthusiastic tech person who loves iPhone, I don’t think it’s a you problem. This is clearly another S revision in all but name, for the second year in a row. I want to be excited but there’s nothing particularly compelling unless you’re coming from pre-2020 (or maybe pre-2019). I’m still loving my 12 mini and will probably use it for at least another year, maybe two.

Compelling upgrades would be: another small variant (or smaller than 14 pro at least), something foldable (maybe, if done really really well), significantly improved battery life, bike computer functionality (CarPlay for bikes), or significantly improved performance (in a few years, maybe the 12 mini will be noticeably slow in 2024).

The curse of releasing devices with hardware that’s 3-5 years ahead of the competition in delivered performance (not just feature checklists) is that unless you wait 4+ years, new models don’t always feel like upgrades.
Depends on the trust?

If your ideas are abstract and roughly "climate isn't fucked" they seem pretty perennial. They're also open to interpretation.

That said, sure, lots of periods in history would've produced trusts that are truly appalling. Something to be addressed case by case, for now, though, and collective social will can always disolve what is ultimately a social contract.

You'd be surprised how often you can ask "do you have a venmo?" and just tip service workers via the QR code.
Sure. And I complained about how ArbCom volunteers had to deal with child protection issues etc. A lot has become better. But there seems to be an automatic assumption that any executive has to be someone in SF, with the salary costs that go along with it. If they work remotely what does it matter? Wikimedia wants to become more global. Why then not a European, Asian, African, Australian, South American ...? None of them will have salary expectations like someone in SF.
How else should they run the service?

It looks like we added cron and other schedule types to the deployment CLI just under a month ago[1].

Over the last couple of releases, we've also made it easier to pull deployments from GitHub or bake your flow code into Docker images instead of needing S3-like storage.

As with any product, there's always more to do, so I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. More than anywhere else I've worked, community feedback is a huge driver of product enhancements and feature development. Feel free to join our Slack community[2] if you'd like to share more feedback or ask questions.

Edited to add this:

> either way you're depriving the creator of revenue.

That may be the case -- but doesn't mean you're stealing. It may mean the creator might want to find a better way of monetizing, though.

> probably something about the fact that since it can be copied for free then it's not worth anything?

Not at all. The ease of duplication has no relevance to the value of a thing.

My argument is simple. It's my machine, and I get to say what bits do and do not get processed.

I should also point out that I don't block YouTube ads, personally. I pay for YouTube Premium instead. I like to reimburse the creators.

However, at least outside of YouTube, advertising is a scummy, spying business. I don't block ads there, either, but I absolutely do block JS and other means of tracking me. That has the side-effect of blocking ads, but if an ad isn't spying, I'll see it. It's telling how few don't, though.
I was going to have a thoughtful reply, but I looked at your comment history and it seems like you have absolutely zero nuance or objectivity in your evaluation of Microsoft software.
I think the barriers for new editors are cultural rather than technical.
I think the magnetic strip needs to go. We hardly use them in Australia to the point where one of our major banks actually has a touch reader on their machine.

Some sort of one-time verification would be great. An SMS or a push notification would go a long way to making this type of scraping harder.

I always try to break privacy concerns down because when everything is lumped together I think people that aren't into privacy get confused.

There's concerns about: hackers, surveillance capitalism, foreign state actors, and domestic state actors. People that say they have nothing to hide are usually unconcerned about one or two of these (surveillance capitalism and domestic state actors) but often are actually concerned with at least one.

The truth of the matter is, though, that if you're concerned about one, you need to be concerned about all of them. There is no door that only good guys can use and bad guys can't. Breaking it down has often led to more successful conversations for me. Even in a group of highly tech literate people (CS graduate students) I often see the "I don't care" or "what can I do" sentiments. So I suggest when talking about all this, break it down into these categories. Maybe if more of us did this then we'd have more success as a community.

Those billionaires don’t sell their shares but they do take extremely low interest loans that are non-taxed against those shares kicking their tax obligations into future generations while using liquidity to live as if they’ve sold the shares.

So I’d suggest the tax code be amended to account for that.
> On the modern internet, I don't know that being searchable and indexed is always a benefit.

Not everything has to be so, but the things we cant search & find on the internet are of vastly less value to humanity. Being isolated apart & alone has some advantages, but endurance visibility maintenance & use is an incomparable advantage that is hot & trendy to take & counter on.

All in all the cases of most of us getting found & wrecked for past shit has been enormously vastly overblown, especially for not-obviously-shitty takes (which i definitely think we need to create permission & space to allow & amemd over time!!! without going full fuck-off turtle mode to greater reality). Anti-democracy fearmongering- the fear to speak (and the fear of more fearmongers using out-of-context low-brow anti-signalling-polarization-ammunition)- like most fears- sells, gets those eyeballs, captivates our imagination & holds our horror-sense. But what an overblown sad conservatism, what a unforunate & sad retinence to have tacits socially let in the door of our collective mind, so rarely a real issue.

The thing about reddit and facebook is they are fundamentally stream based systems. Whats at the top is tied deeply to freshness, anything else falls off. Judging so shortly, saying they are deficient may be perhaps true, but this structurality seems like the cause for war to me, not the public-ness of these mediums.

Alternative ways of collecting & gathering for longer term is exactly what we need. To me the participatory versus private debate is largely orthogonal. There's some influence yes. Leave it to the users I say; lets see which communities thrive in private versus which figure out how to tap the public world to see & let's revisit in a dozen years, see whose gotten world.

Just my own voice, here (in public, on a short temporal horizon site), but: a discord that keeps itself private, exclusive, denies the world & never ever grows the capability to permit real public engagement... is an abhorrent aborational monster deserving quick fate (or to adapt & make a public conscious possible).
I agree… but I also think it’s a great sign of slow but steady progress. The kind that will really standout in a few years. Comparing todays phone camera to a 2010 phone, makes me feel pretty good
If it's an IA32 binary and the system is x86_64, you don't even need qemu; 64-bit Linux can run 32-bit binaries natively. You just need to install the 32-bit versions of any library dependencies (trivial on something like Debian, where the packaging system supports doing this out of the box).
Money is just an arbitrary mean of distributing production. In a capitalist society (and at a lesser extent in a mercantile one too), having a lot of "things", in this case money and capital: we can call wealth, is power (this has implication for anarchist beliefs).

Democracy and in a limited way, socialism (pensions for the elderly, healthcare, subsidized public transportation, i know this is not the original meaning, but for this its good enough) counterbalance the power gap between wealthy people and non-wealthy people, but clearly in the western world (at least in my country), the counterbalance is weaker and weaker.

I don't think a random millionaire like Eric Finman should have more power than a random citizen, and yet he have.

I don't think the "billionaire shouldn't exist" crowd actually exist. But i'm part of the "billionaires shouldn't have this much power" crowd, since it feels like in my country, they own the press, the executive and 40% of the legislative power. The judiciary power is the only one that might be a bit free from influence, but i'm not certain.
You know, 20 years ago we would have blamed Apple for implimenting a breaking change on the OS-level. Nowadays we shake our fist at Spotify for not fixing bugs before they happen...

On Windows an application using the Data Protection API can force the decrypt procedure to show a dialog[1].

Though I haven't checked if the dialog is run in a secure context, like for example the UAC dialog is. And I don't know if the dialog contains any information identifying the processing asking.

If the dialog is just run in the normal context, or doesn't inform the user who wants to decrypt the data, it's not that useful for thwarting an attack I suppose.

Except that those consumers are doing so because they believe it's the best way to expand (or at least protect) their capital.
Such a position wouldn't make any sense in a non-capitalist economy, so at least part of the problem is how to actually ensure capitalism works effectively given human nature.
As a ~normal person who uses their phone at least 4 hours per day, it's the single most important tech device in my life. I enjoy getting the best thing out there every upgrade cycle (2 years). The progress feels incremental, but going back and using an n-1 gen phone reminds me how much slower things were. All of those extra half-second waits between interactions add up, and I enjoy having a quality camera with me wherever I go. There are also things like phone speaker quality that while hard to objectively measure and promote, have really improved over the years to the point where I don't hate doing things like watching educational or fun YouTube videos in bed in the morning.
Yes, if they are pay up front establishments.
For less pragmatic reasons I already tend to read news from text-only pages. For example, http://lite.cnn.com/en and https://text.npr.org. They are far less noisy in every way. I got into the habit because of Raspberry Pi prior to version 4, which could easily choke on the background shenanigans ads tend to force upon you without bandwidth and processing power considerations. But its such a good habit, I've never stopped, even on laptop or desktop.

If they have something visual I want to see, I just highlight the title and "Search for..." the graphic version.

You'd think sites like this would have a direct link to the article from the text-only page, but if you click what they give you, it sends you to the front page instead. So they've got it about half right.

Unsurprisingly the lack of flab and inconsiderate resource usage is what attracted me to HN from the beginning. Also the (usually) more intelligent comment section.
No thanks. I like things that work without having to be charged.
I wouldn't say that is fair in that very few people can use that mode, so the net security win is minor and there exist hyperlocked down Android versions for years on the open market. A friend of mine even worked on one.

This space is murky at the top end.

The Zerodium payout offering is a rough proxy, but for 99.99% of consumers the security win for a iPhone are mostly about how they don't have to think about the manufacturer (tell your tech illiterate friend to buy an iPhone is easier than saying "Android but only Google or XYZ manufacturer") and how the privacy differential helps out a bit.

Also, plenty of people can't enable crazy hyper secure mode without bleeding information that they've enabled it. So this isn't as helpful as it may seem.
Sometimes "hacking" takes the form of finding the simplest working solution to a given problem. Reframing your assumptions or approach is IMO very valuable to at least consider, even if you ultimately stick with your initial plan.

I can't find it either, I'm pretty sure I heard it on some conference, so consider it made up. It was years ago anyway.

I would love it if my bank would let me use my virtual debit card with a contactless flow to withdraw cash. I'd imagine that's much harder to replay or otherwise manipulate. I've seen some ATMs (mostly Chase?) with the contactless symbol on them, but I've never been able to get them to work.

It's interesting. Primary source documents from the 1980s really talk about it as a debacle between Symbolics and Lisp Machines Inc, Stallman being caught in the middle and then deciding they were both bad.

While on the other hand, contemporary accounts date it to a Xerox 9700 printer at MIT in 1980.

I don't know. You could say in the 1980s the printer story sounded too absurd so they emphasized the clash of Titans aspect or you could say that we really like provincial origin stories these days so this "a simple motivated man with a great idea" framework is more appealing

This kind of stuff is fascinating; how history is narrated differently throughout time

For people uninitiated, the idea is materially, only discrete events happen. Stories are the narrative sense making humans project on them.

One thing that sticks out to me is how so much of the the images in the collection have really terrible labels.

In terms of letting the algorithm go nuts and be fed a radio-esque stream of content, I've found YouTube Music to provide the most enjoyable playlists. They seem to nail the mix of introducing new songs which have similar sounds to what I've been listening to and blending that with songs I really like.

Spotify started either playing playlists entirely of my own music already, or music so far off base I couldn't enjoy it.

I've been using Spotify for a very long time so maybe that much listening history has just fried whatever algorithm it uses, whereas in YTM I'm only a few months deep
