They've gotten so damn greedy.

On the mobile app literally over half my feed is ads.
Americans don't take the bus because they don't want to sit next to the type of people who can't afford a car or get a driver's license.
Not the OP, and this is just speculation on my part so take it with a grain of salt.

Meta gets the overwhelming majority (97.7%) of their revenue from advertising[1]. Their business model is completely reliant on using user data to sell highly targeted ads to sellers. While most consumers don't actually care what corporations do with their data, governments have been starting to crack down on the types of data that can be collected, and what it can be used for, especially with GDPR in the EU. The less data Meta can collect, the worse their targeted advertising will be, and fewer sellers will be willing to pay - or pay as much - for ads on their platforms. As it is, many companies are moving more towards influencer sponsorship for advertising, cutting platforms like Instagram out of the cost entirely.

The problem is that all of Meta's eggs are in one basket, and that basket's bound to drop. Most other big tech companies have more diverse revenue sources, and so are more robust.

That being said, I disagree with the premise - Netflix is probably going to the first FAANG company to fold.

Real estate investing means either paying people to build things for you, or paying people for something that's already built. Obviously building things causes inflation as you compete for commodities required to build, but buying already built real estate also means the seller now has money that they invest and that will eventually get consumed too.

I went to a Titan or Nike missile museum once and they had an exhibit on the probabilities for Russian nukes working and reaching their targets also including interception. They are way lower than USA. That means that Russia had to have considerably more nukes to achieve a high probability of success in hitting intended targets.

I'm not sure how that plays now based on disarmament and technological updates.

i noticed the bots have problems with events that happened recently, for example, it's in denial about the queens death.

now my question is, do you have to re-train it continously on current news? would incorporating information gained from talking to the users theoretically possible? i guess it would be very problematic due to corruption from troll, but lets say, in theorie: could the users convince it that elizabeth has died? or would this new conversation never "weight" enough to override the information from the huge training text corpus?
Ask HN: What apps do you use daily on your phone?

What does it mean when attribution is a mess? Or efficiency fluctuating?

Does this imply that Facebook is showing ads in places they should not be, because they have inventory they cannot sell?
The design of the studies is garbage: imaginary intention to make an imaginary purchase of an imaginary headphones from imaginary companies. Participants paid and recruited through mechanical turk.

> Participants (N = 383; 52% female; age: M = 43.28 years, SD = 14.93) were recruited through an Amazon Mechanical Turk Prime Panel and paid a flat rate for compensation. This study used a 2 (employee type: retail employee vs. CEO) × 2 (salary: paid fully vs. cut fully) between-subject design. Participants were asked to imagine that they were looking to buy a new set of headphones from a well-known retailer.

I bet that many people once they were done with the survey and paid went to Amazon and bought something, and did not care once about the pay of workers or conditions, when making an actual purchase.
Many food banks are not associated with churches.

I think the only two ways to use JWT tokens is:

1) you have some kind of api gateway, it would validate the session, issue JWT/PASETO that lives a minute or so, downstream services would use that token to talk to complete the request.

2) When you need something like AWS S3 presigned URL.

Everything else is just an opaque session token with extra steps.
It's pretty extreme to insinuate that users are bots with no evidence. I checked both users' accounts and find it incredibly unlikely that either is a bot.

shmerl, the user who mentioned mynoise in that link, has 11,234 karma and has had their account since 2011. rob74, the user you're responding to, has 5,923 karma and has had their account since 2016. Both are recently-active users with a history of real comments that don't mention mynoise.

Perhaps you are seeing this site mentioned frequently because users enjoy it and it fills its niche incredibly well. I previously came across it searching for a Shepherd tone generator and have found that it offers the best balance between tweakability and ease-of-use.
Their interview process improved significantly and they had it arguably better than any other FAANG in recent years.

I suspect cookie sessions is still more widely used than anything approaching OAuth and it's ilk. Hell, even JWT's often get associated with cookie sessions, which helps mitigate the revocation problem.

Please resist the temptation to reflexively post your favorite sci-fi quote for clicks
Let's assume $1 per meal per person (perhaps low, perhaps high, I don't know) - that would be $330 million per day if everyone availed themselves of the free lunch. That is (let's round up a bit) $125 billion a year.

Now if everyone did avail themselves of the free lunch slop each day, we'd clearly see a downturn in lunch business at many restaurants, so there would be other effects, but it does not seem entirely impossible.

And certainly not impossible to start with the students at schools, then expand to all children, and then to the children and elderly, and then to all.
Netflix never deserved to be in FAANG anyway -- seems like it was just there to make the acronym work.

Why will conventional investments have value? Why will it be safe? I could be retired and well off with say even 5 or 10 million and then large numbers of people lose their jobs, yet we can still make widgets and grow and distribute food with robot everything, society will fall apart. There will be fewer people with money to support themselves or buy things. I don't see the capitalist society in the US giving people basic income, but we won't need so many workers, and so anarchy.
Serverless is great for scenarios where you don't want to have to worry about scaling.

AWS S3 was probably the first "serverless" technology to really take off. You don't have to worry about how many hosts you need to adequately handle sharing a file with millions of people. You don't need to start up multiple hosts in order to get backups in multiple data centers and then handle synchronization. Nope, just put a file there, and everything else is handled.

AWS Lambda and other FaaS providers made it so you don't have to configure scaling hosts to handle sudden large loads. It's also great for things that only need a couple minutes of CPU time per month, like say, periodically processing some data in batches. You don't have to deal with standing up a host that runs a cron job and then paying for CPU time you're not using.

Serverless databases mean you don't have to worry about patching the underlying operating system.

Of course, serverless has its limitations. FaaS is not suitable for long-running tasks, for example. It also tends to result in vendor lock-in.

EDIT: If you're going to fire back with "AlL tHoSe ThInGs ArE sTiLl RuNnInG oN sErVeRs", don't waste your time. It's a tired argument that misses the point. Yes, they run on servers, but you don't have to care about the underlying servers.
I've given up trusting anything new they make. They've shut down otherwise perfectly fine products that they could of charged some money for and I would of gladly payed.

I don’t think that’s the strongest version of the argument. I would boil it down to something along the lines of economic relatedness building roadblocks and off-ramps on the way to conflict. Trade gives some opportunities for low risk retaliation that can be hashed out and deescalated prior to any shooting happening. It presents resistance that can slow things down. It obviously can’t prevent a determined large nation from barreling through, but it’s a layer of defense.
It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, all leetcode "style" questions fall into a particular bucket. Two pointers, graphs, etc. It's not like the company is innovating new types of problems. It's just the same problem reworded.

I think you read wrong. It says it was covered by the advancing glacier, not uncovered.
So at 5900 BC the glacier had advanced less than now and certainly a lot less than say 100 years ago. Doesn't this mean that it was warmer at that time, or at the very least, warmer some time not too long before 5900 BC?

They don't, as far as I can tell, vet their customers. They deliberately cast as wide a net as possible, so it was entirely foreseeable they were going to hook some less sophisticated users.
That's CA$2.39 * 0.73 (CA->USD) * 3.78 (liters -> gallon) = $6.59.

From my experience they place most weight on system design. They allow you to get 1-2 neutral flags from leetcoding and still get an offer.

There used to be smaller grocery stores all over the place. Customers didn't like them due to high prices and limited selection. It's cheaper and more time efficient to drive to a big supermarket or Costco and load up your car with everything you need.
> subtract an offset from the pointer to the array

Yeah, you shift the array, not the index. But the instruction for accessing memory on many architectures assumes a shift, so whether it's 1 or 0, it's still just one instruction. Here's a community of programming language developers talking about exactly this question: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/x95ni...

The consensus there is: it's really not something to worry about, as it all comes out in the wash. Performance is certainly not an argument for choosing one versus the other, as there are other dimensions to the choice, like target user familiarity/comfort.
That's the rub, ain't it?

But at the end of the day, the actions matter more than the players.
This is an overdone and incorrect response.

Variable renewable sources can’t power 100% of the grid, but they can easily power 80% of it without any of the normal whatabout problems. Renewables could also power 120% of the grid without problems, interesting variable loads to take up the extra very cheap energy would manifest soon enough.

Claiming exactly 100% is full of problems is true, pedantic, and nowhere close to any reality which would happen.

Of course there will be a mixture of power sources, relax. You can develop a lot of variable renewables before the issues come up.

Europe needs to develop every power source at the same time, distributing resources compromising for risk, several time frames, and cost. This involves a solar/wind heavy mix along with longer term nuclear developments and large scale energy imports from North America.

Yeah sure, but the issue with many jobs is that they expect you to do all that and be happy and positive about it as well. They don't just want your labor for a fixed set of time, they want you.

They want you to treat them like family while they reserve the right to treat you like a number.

The thing with acting your wage (as quiet quitting should better be called) is that many employers just don't deserve any better. If you have the rare luck of working in a company that really treats it's employees well, your employees certainly will not be too accurate about what their contract says and what is exludeded.

But if you are one of those companies that fired people during a global pandemic and expect loyalty, you don't have a good understanding how societies work.

That is nonsensical. Maybe one country might decide to try to stop it, the internet has shown that doesn't work.
But it has nothing whatsoever to do with it being a web-based app. It pretty clearly has to be the result of caching lots of album art and/or metadata and/or audio data, which is just as likely to happen on a native app.
This is what any previous government would have done despite the embarrassment. However, in the same way our previous PM idolised Churchill, our current one idolises Thatcher who was famous for her “this lady’s not for turning” speech. This means that Liz Truss (our current PM) is highly unlikely to reverse course because in her head she’s having her “Thatcher moment” and must stay true to course in the face of any and all naysayers. This is despite the two situations being wildly different. Rather than admit any fault, the government are now trying to gaslight the entire country into believing that the currency crisis wasn’t caused by their announcement last week but by the energy crisis and covid. The whole thing is an absolute train wreck.

The problem is that apart from expiration, the token is never invalidated, for example when the user logs out. An attacker who stole the JWT is still logged into the victim's account until expiration.
VR absolutely niche, but Steam Deck has delivered on its promise far more than I expected, and this seems to be being reflected in impressive sales.

I'd happily place a bet today on there being a family of Steam Deck devices forming a material part of the PC games industry in 5 years or earlier. Much of the implementation such as the store experience is already leagues ahead of the garbage Nintendo get away with on the Switch.

When they inevitably release a second one with an OLED display and more performance and battery life, its going to be massively compelling. Sure we can all point to failures like the Steam Boxes, but from those failures came Proton which has been directly responsible for the Deck concept working so successfully.
That's certainly fair. One of the oldest classic physical security failures I know of, which really stuck with me, is "who did background checks on the janitors?" It doesn't literally have to be janitors, but there are a lot of people in your space that we assume are not threats, even though there is a lot of overlap between "hacker" and "people who work for vendors".

I knew someone who was responsible for delivering backups from a secure data center to a lockbox every couple of days. Unfortunately the bank was only a few blocks from the data center so I'm not sure how much physical separation that really provided. Also this particular person would have been able to do absolutely nothing about being mugged for the disks if someone actually cared. But maybe I'm a little too paranoid.

I recall once having to drop the night's deposit off from the restaurant I worked at. They were down a manager due to illness, it was on the way home, I was a figurative if no longer a literal boyscout, so the math on "shenanigans if hinkley leaves with the money" versus "shenanigans if there is no night manager in the store" apparently leaned toward me. I'm glad they trusted me but I was a nervous wreck for four blocks until that bag went into the night deposit box.

Anything that can move "precious cargo" without a human failure mode is alright in my book.
Your kids are privileged to have loving parent(s) in their lives -- many of my children's classmates are not as fortunate. Free meals took one bit of stress out of their lives, and benefited us too on those occasional days we weren't able to get a good lunch together.
I finished all main/side missions and gigs, let Johnny take over whenever he wanted and then went through all reachable ending combinations (8 different endings, even if slightly) and then I learned there is a secret ending considered the best of them all which was denied to me due to some obscure choice early. So no wonder it left a sour taste.
> Reading terms like "static site generator", "content management system", "templates", "analytics" or "deployment" gives me an instant headache,

Only until you want to automate some of the tasks you do manually and, after a night of hacking, end up with a "static site generator", or, if you want something more dynamic, a "content management system". But at that point, you'll probably still not want to look into existing solutions because learning all the necessary details of product $x is often more time consuming than a straightforward implementation that solves exactly your and not someone else's problems.
I think you're confused, when people say "they ask leetcode questions" they don't mean they do automated tests

The questions the human is asking you come from a big question bank and a lot of it is listed on LeetCode under the meta company tag because people leak them.

People use Leetcode to practice for those interviews, they don't use the leetcode site in the interview
There was always objections since inception. ROC tried to exclude PRC from any UN representation (how turntables have turned), USSR protested exclusion of PRC in the 50s, host of "third world" PRC friendly nations petitioned for ROC to be replaced by PRC in the 60s. Was succession in 71 (76 for, 35 against, 17 abstain).

> Better interoperability

AFAIK, the examples you give all target a basic C ABI [0] or can be made to target the same ABI. In Rust, it means targeting wasm32-unknown-emscripten

The Rust team is also working on a "WASM ABI"[1] which would be useful in taking advantage of stuff like multi-value returns, and other compilers could just choose to target that. More likely, the C ABI on WASM will be updated to account for missing features, and that'll be the standard for interoperability in the WASM ecosystem.
