IMO 1 based and 0 based is a wash as to which is better, but the only definitive wrong answer is an arbitrary base. It may seem like a good compromise (just use whichever you prefer!), but it opens the door to a mars climate orbiter disaster waiting to happen.

I wonder how many of these users thought "It's just a web page, it's not going to send around a debt collector, I won't ever need to pay".

Those types of users tend to be put off by PDF documents you have to print, sign and return, because then they feel it's more likely that they will get a court summons for not paying...

That example you give here doesn’t require an orm, though. In ColdFusion world they use(d to use?) a pattern called dao, data access object.
Then you lost the 15 minutes you took filling out that form? And your players can still stream it elsewhere, like Shadow or Luna? Doesn't seem terrible.

VS the days/weeks/months it took you to port to Stadia, only to have the entire service shut down.

The point is that there are many PC streaming services that are basically "no porting required", whereas Stadia opted for a strange sort-of-console, sort-of-not model (despite PSNow and XCloud already being able to stream actual console games already) that required you to spend dev hours porting your game.

It backfired because most devs didn't want to (or couldn't afford to) port their x86 game targeting Windows to some tiny proprietary platform, ESPECIALLY when it's Google hosting it. Of the few that did (Orcs Must Die), Google arranged some exclusivity deal with them, lying that Stadia could do things no gaming PC or cloud streaming service could do due to Stadia's special scale or something. It was a lie. When the exclusivity expired, it showed up on Steam and GeForce Now and ran perfectly fine, and got a lot more players to boot.

Stadia had some really awesome tech -- namely the UX of being able to boot straight into a game without waiting for Steam Big Picture -- and some nifty (but relatively useless) side features like being able to capture a memory snapshot and resume that later, emulator-style. But I don't think their management really understood the PC gaming culture and what was truly important to its user base, and failed to take years of pleading and feedback into consideration. They just arrogantly did... something else (or nothing much? I can't really tell)... with Stadia and drove it into the ground. So sorry for all the engineers who worked on it and had to see it nosedive like that due to managerial incompetence.

None of this was a surprise to any gamer actually watching this space. Stadia came late, delivered less, and exited early. Google's product culture doomed it from the get-go.
In a way does it matter? The interviewers aren’t making the final decisions and the actual hiring committee aren’t stupid and should be able do some basic normalization.
People who play 1 match of 1 game 1 time per month seems like bad demographic to target for a gaming service.

Stating "you should break contact with the recruiter because Meta is causing irreparable damage to society" is not a "legitimate question of professional ethics." It's like saying "you should be rushing the capitol, because democrats are causing irreparable damage to society by stealing the election", and then claiming it was a legitimate question of ethics of democracy. For both of which, the suggestion to touch grass feels pretty appropriate.

I agree with your take on ethics courses being mandatory for CS or engineering college students though. It was mandatory at my college, and I found it to be pretty useful.

EDIT: as pointed out, i incorrectly used "contract" instead of "contact" in the first sentence. Fixed, as it doesn't meaningfully change my point at all. The part relevant to the point I was making was in the "... because Meta is causing irreparable damage to society" half of the sentence.
The fact check here is important, but saying that it was just "due to illegal UGC" downplays the fact that there are lots of platforms with oodles of "illegal" UGC, but it's the porn companies that have gotten the brunt of CC companies' ire. The increasing scrutiny specifically on porn (some of which is due to SESTA/FOSTA, as another poster pointed out) has had a chilling effect on sex work across the whole web.

Also, while true that CC companies aren't anti-porn in a strict sense, credit cards really do not get along very well with sex work or porn in general. They'll reluctantly take their money, but it's a very strained relationship, with high fees in part due to the high number of chargebacks, and in part because no one is going to go to bat politically for porn sites.

It's arguable whether the CC companies are "anti-porn", but they are definitely not "pro-porn".

I struggle to see how it is a problem, a free and fair society should have no qualms with people having such information. And anyone dangerous would have no problem finding it out anyways. Its not like we can scrub chemistry knowledge out from public access. Not to mention most "bomb making" knowledge is also applicable to many other fields and uses.

I find the mechanics of guns and firearms fun and interesting, that doesn't make me any more dangerous than someone who has no idea how guns work.
The point I was trying to make is, data hoarders collectively archive a lot of data. They have interests and tend to mirror their interests from the sites. As a result, they can mirror a substantial amount of videos or knowledge from any gigantic site.

I'm aware that even a horde of data hoarders can't archive a drop in the YouTube ocean, but by archiving high-impact channels, they can backup both important and vast amounts of information.
And if the literal nazis we’re actually using a private person to person (can be through a service) communication medium like a phone the number of people who want them deplatformed would drop to basically zero.

Your argument has to account for the fact that Twitter is more like public radio than a phone and that WhatsApp is more like a phone than radio.

The distinction is meaningless in that case because GCP hasn't sunset any services either.
By this standard we don’t need any additional media of any kind. No new movies, books, or tv shows.

99% of everything is crap. Most new movies or books are awful or entirely pedestrian and completely unoriginal to boot, and most don’t turn much of a profit.

But people still make them for a huge variety of reasons.
A couple hundred gbs write and read per day seem normal to me for a developer machine.

Spinning up a new VM from scratch itself will take around 10gb read and write.

If you are building containers or loading up a lot of data, can easily reach that.

I'm surprised your figures are low because I always see tens of gbs of write and read normally without doing much.
> This is on parents

Growing up my father believed playing the GTA would be detrimental to my development. He banned them from our home and told the parents of my friends not to let me play those games at their house, if they said they wouldn't enforce that rule I wasn't allowed over.

Didn't matter, I played the games to completion at friend's houses because their parents didn't really give a crap.

Looking back, I think the only way my father could have reasonably stopped me from playing these games would have been to isolate me from my friends and wreck our relationship. Now luckily, we're pretty sure no harm was done in this case, but the point is that there's not actually that much parents can do to limit access to content if other parents aren't similarly vigilant.

The Nash equilibrium strategy is optimal when the other players are also playing optimally.

If your opponents never choose 1, you can choose 1 and win 100% of the time. But if your opponents are very smart, know your strategy, and will exploit any weakness your strategy presents, it's best to play the Nash equilibrium strategy.
> Weird how you paint journalists spreading awareness of Bad Things Happening as the evil here.

Counterpoint. There really is a lot of high-class clickbait in journalism though. Most is probably well-meaning and it might even be unintentional. My own anecdote: I like to listen to NPR which is a great source of civil discussion and journalism. A lot of their pieces, in the aim to be humanistic, end up bouncing from one group of (legitimate!) victims to the next. Every story is about someone with a problem, and the implied question is always what are we going to do about it? When these stories inevitably drift toward social media, that question is always directed at the company. What is TwitBookStagramTok going to do to fix ____ issue? These are legitimate questions. But you end up reaching a point where the story just doesn't end, it keeps being brought up again and again as bad press for company ______ and so of course, after a period of attrition, the company eventually performs some action to curtail the mountain of bad press. And that action is almost always heavier moderation. And when companies don't respond the conversion shifts toward regulation.

And that sounds good right? But the question that doesn't get asked enough is if the company should have just ridden out the bad press and fought the regulation as a matter of principle, and if that principle is good and sound and should be embraced by our society; the question being pondered by this HackerNews thread. That's rarely the perspective offered by an entity like NPR because humanism is their form of clickbait. Neither their listeners nor their producers are much interested in that, it seems. So while "more censorship, less freedom" might not be the mantra coming from the mouths of NPR personalities, it's sort of a de facto result of their tendencies.

Lovely store, had a blast spending time in there a few years ago. Moog is also employee owned! Asheville in general was a great city to spend time in.
I'm really amazed they got a 90% collection rate...

If you'd have asked me to guess, I would reckon only 30% will pay.

A chunk will have used credit cards with no balance, or cards about to expire. A chunk will dispute charges. A chunk will never see your emails because they land in spam.
>In the case of Amazon Retail. They (we) have to convince the customer to give us money in exchange for goods and services.

Right, and Google needs to convince users to love the products and continue using them, so that ads can be shown, and maybe even despite ads being shown.

I have noticed a strong sentiment against paying for products even here on HN where the average user probably makes quite a bit of money. People would rather block ads than pay for YouTube Premium, for example. It shows me that ads are actually a pretty good business model because if "wealthy" people won't pay for products, less wealthy people definitely won't.
The M2M plans I saw have always been expensive -- ridiculous prices for hundreds of kilobytes. I was tempted to jury-rig some eSIM plans into devices, but it's not terribly easy to do that right now with any off-the-shelf hardware.
It's a shame their platform choices prevented a decent stream of content, stadia was easier to use but I subscribe GFN due to the content

How do I cite an artificial intelligence?
I think from the beginning Helium targeted people who just didn't know anything about wireless. The economics have never made any sense, and I'm fairly sure reselling your ISP's Internet is a violation of their ToS. So the second this saw any actual adoption, upstream ISPs would probably start coming along to shut down the busiest nodes.
Really just be preparing for brutal competition. There will be fewer chances.

A warm intro means a lot more (just message random people on LinkedIn and plenty will be happy to help, as we lose nothing if you aren't hired and get a few thousand if you are).

Worst case scenario, prepare to lie on your resume and fake more internships than you have done.

The two of my employers that have substantial staff have eliminated new grad hiring for 2023. Seniors only.
Slightly above average?

The sign-up form at first glance really does look like "we are giving you a $1024 free credit to get started on our platform"
Yo dawg, I heard you like ads, so we put ads in your ads...

This is great. Adtech eating itself from the inside out. Just when you thought they couldn't get any sleazier, advertisers always find a way.

I can't even decide who's right in this case. Suddenly they care about "inorganic" traffic? Please... There's a whole segment of the web dedicated to SEO hacking, click baiting, stolen or AI generated content whose only purpose is to scam the system and drive fake ad impressions.

Have we forgotten about popups? This is a story as old as the web.

Wasn't me! But I expect my hackerman handle when you get your infra set up, anonymous registrant! :p
But what’s being discussed here isn’t blocking that information, but sadness over the fact that it’s not something you’re likely to stumble upon today inadvertently. GP is very specific in talking about coming across this info while doing normal day to day things on the internet, I.e. not looking for bomb-making instructions.
I was previously unaware of this issue, but wow. Seems like a good case for a class action against Apple for replacement SSDs.

This is called "problem-situation" in philosophy of sciences. One can understand physics, by studying problems in a historical context--and this field is called "history and philosophy of physics". Wrt biology, it is "history and philosophy of biology". We also need to study history of philosophy to understand various philosophical theories: later theories try to account for failures of earlier philosophical theories; etc.

I agree that a state actor was involved.

I disagree that Russia has no incentive.

While the USA obviously has the means and more than zero motivation, I don’t see this type of infrastructure damage so close to allies as likely. Especially given the EU was already in the process of permanently ending the purchase of all Russian gas, not just these pipelines.

Russia, however, is looking at one never-opened pipeline and one already-offline pipeline, which is going to a bloc that has announced that it won’t pay as much as Russia is asking for its gas, won’t pay in the currency Russia is demanding, and wants to rapidly move away from Russian gas entirely, and which is currently sanctioning against Russia. Russia appears to believe that cutting off gas to Europe will end European support for Ukraine, and therefore has an obvious incentive to cut it off. Russia has incentives to make this look like it isn’t Russia’s fault, for the same reason anyone who might have done this would have had an incentive to hide their own identity.

How does Elon trying to buy Twitter fit into this? Completely reworking Twitter with these ideas seems to be harder than just creating a new thing, so I doubt that was the goal?
I feel like it's mostly been fixed. There are probably individual applications and setups that trigger excessive writes, so a reboot from time to time makes sense to kill any application that might be abusive (assuming it doesn't start on login).

At 5GB/day, a 1TB drive will last at least 10 years… assuming 5GB every day for 10 years, which is unrealistic. Apple will drop latest release OS support in 4-5 years… will you still be doing 5GB per day in that case? Probably not.

I honestly think that all SSD/NVME chips need to post their TBW so that people can make their own decision. I also feel like this would benefit Apple, since people will choose their storage solution based on lifespan and not size. Because while a 1TB drive might last 5-10 years, an 8TB drive will basically last forever. Feels like a good sales tactic, honestly, for those with anxiety about drive failure.
I would love for Intel or AMD to actually compete in this space but I exclusively buy Nvidia cards because their drivers are the best. There are too many edge cases where AMD cards perform far worse than their theoretical performance because the drivers aren't properly optimized. I seriously doubt that Intel drivers will be any better given their iGPU driver history.

I fear that the driver gap is only going to get worse as Nvidia is pushing for more advanced raytracing in modern gaming.

Well; One afternoon of gaming every month and a match here and there.

Why do you feel that this is a bad demographic?

It’s basically perfect because people like me can’t really justify a console let alone a full fledged PC gaming setup and all the work that would entail.

Streaming services lose money the more they are used, the worst customer is the one who plays a lot and the best one is the one who doesn’t play at all.

Infrequent use is really ideal, and it would have suited me better than the alternatives too.

I was about to say the same thing. Reddit is a huge host for pornography, and Twitter is where most sex-workers share and network currently. Reddit certainly has advertisers and an iOS presences, not to mention people b̶u̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶o̶n paying for awards. I can't speak to Twitter because I'm not on the site, but my understanding is that neither bother with any formal age verification either. Not sure what's different except maybe the size of their legal team.
