I feel for the author. The space is so wide that an app needs to be either:

- totally customizable, which means a less cohesive UI, or

- extremely opinionated and you have to find the one that shares your opinions.

I wrote about my (similar) experience a few years ago: https://xavd.id/blog/post/my-perfect-task-app/

Things 3 has bar-none the best UI of any app. It's not perfect, but I surprised myself with how much I cared about that.
I was going to say a new virus emerging was a good example.

In both cases: We know they are theoretically possible. We cannot say for sure when they'll emerge. Once they emerge, they can spread by themselves and become common.

I guess the place it doesn't hold up is that in the exploit case, they're intentionally engineered, and for a virus, well there's the Wuhan bioweapon conspiracy theory but no, it's more like random mutations cause it.
The second guy was clearly not smart having walked into an US consulate to collaborate with the CIA. Maybe he was very pissed off or has seen stuff he strongly disagreed with in his line of work.

Ask HN: Is Web 2.0 just ads?
Facebook, Google, and Netflix all seem to use ads as a source of revenue. Even Apple is looking to build their ad business. To me, it seems the business model is just ads for Web 2.0.

I don’t count gig economy because those are subsidized by VC money and they lose more money than they earn.
That's bad design then. The Witcher 3 has no loads and rhe world is massive. As OP said, priorities.
I really enjoyed Nier Automata -- I'd say it's a solid second place -- but it doesn't hold a candle to Horizon: Zero Dawn. The storytelling was superb, and the gameplay was really good too.
A very well written article. The title is a bit clickbaity especially since the article doesn't drive hard towards that conclusion, but all the better for the article. As a serial entrepreneur I can say his tactical advice is rooted in experience.
This needs a lot of curation. Maybe put some ads and offer a percentage to users willing to give ratings to the quality of the images. I will be happy to spend some time clicking , to earn some money for a beer once in a while.

Your second paragraph is just wrong in my experience. You are seeing the protracted childhood extend into your 30's for a large subset of millenials now. I don't see any way living forever will make someone going through their 20's and 30's care about the future if they don't have a personality already prone to that. It seems far more likely this protracted childhood without many cares extending out further and further is far more likely. Also old people aren't sitting around wondering how to extract more. They are generally sitting around thinking about how their money can continue pushing the world in the direction they want after they are gone. You may have observation bias because you only see old people in high positions that didn't tap out at some earlier point where their lust was satiated and they moved on to doing something else (of which there will be far more of than those that got to those high positions just by nature of the math of old people vs % of positions that are "high").

I think the only thing that will happen for sure if we make people live forever is stagnation as all the people who feel strongly about something that is wrong don't die off and instead accumulate, likely filling up good positions in society that otherwise would have gone to a younger, more dynamic up and coming person.
The COVID situation and the very unusual lockins and lockouts are irrelevant to this topic, as stamp or not, she would still have not been allowed back into the US during that period (unless she had full US citizenship).

And my point is that the logistic issues about stamps are a side issue, with the real issue being the [mis|over]use of H1-B in the first place.

This also isn't just a US issue. Many (probably most) countries have fixed duration visas and will not allow you to just casually return if your visa has expired. You have to plan ahead to ensure you have renewed your visa before leaving (and even to avoid overstaying). Now if you have an automatic tourist visa which kicks in, that can provide some safety; but in some cases some countries will disallow conversion of tourist visa into any other kind of visa without leaving the country and applying. There are vast variations and combinations depending on the details of country-country.

> hold hostage current H-1B holders

I don't understand why people seem to believe that once you have a temporary right, you should be able to have that right forever after. I live abroad, and I have to go through the process and expense to renew my visa to live and work there. If circumstances change in that country, they certainly have the right to tighten up requirements to the point where I would not be allowed to renew. This it not an issue of where a renewal stamp is given.
According to the expressions on the other peoples’ faces, it seems like there was actually some awareness of how ridiculous it was. Those aren’t expressions of amazement. They’re more like “look at that guy trying to drink coffee with a VR headset on his face. What a tool!”
The update is more crazy than the initial flagging. Youtube went back and doubled down saying the video violates their "sex and nudity policy". This is a channel that uploads how a speedrunning record was set https://twitter.com/summoningsalt/status/1575972292395667456 . The creator only does voiceover explanations, all of the content is gameplay footage, and occasionally a picture in picture video of a speedrunner while they are achieving a specific record. The video is age-restricted again.

There comes a point where Youtube is not saving money by automating their content moderation but Youtube decides to keep pushing forward. At some point a competitor that is good enough will arrive and once large creators like this one, around 1.5 million followers, almost every video with over 2 million views, 8 videos with over 5 million views, leave they will pay attention. Until content creators have an alternative choice, Youtube knows they can implement any black box policy and ignore 99% of the backlash.

My personal theory is that they are doing manual review but only after an appeal. They definitely have software that flags videos for vulgar language internally, and I imagine only those parts and a couple minutes surrounding it are reviewed. They refuse to elaborate or make their methods public because they see it as a way to combat spam. It's becoming clear that the moderation team is mostly software at this point.

I have a different theory that Youtube is also classifying channels into kid friendly and unfriendly based on video content while ignoring the context the channel was made for. Game are generally much more popular among kids, and so this channel was marked as kid friendly. The channel is getting treated with rules that should only apply to kid targeted channels, unfortunately this benefits Youtube way more than the creator. Youtube Kids has ads.
And 10 years ago, did you predict that self driving cars were 2 years away?

Yeah, but the list of things to render still has to be presented to the GPU in less than that time, from the CPU (draw call).
I think the point is more that the past cost overrund are due to _changing_ regulation, not necessarily the regulation themselves.

It's like a software client changes requirements a year into a 2 year project and suddenly you need to rearchitect the whole thing, essentially starting again.

Following regulations is costly, but following changing regulations throughout a project lifecycle is _very expensive_.
The ones I've seen don't, no. The AS/400 boxes were pretty much designed for small-to-medium-sized businesses to stick in a closet and forget about. You may be thinking of IBM mainframes, which typically require three-phase power, but can be convinced to work without it.

These days (and for quite a while), the boxes that run IBM i are the same POWER servers that can run AIX and Linux. Before the platforms consolidated, they were still POWER servers, it was just a different firmware between the "i Series" (ran OS/400) and "p Series" (ran AIX and Linux) POWER boxes.
Are the other customers with laptops supposed to look creeped out and angry at him? I imagine the direction they were aiming for is envy, but it looks like they want the weirdo to leave.

It worked in making me interested in the product at least. A standalone headset with Linux and not by Facebook? Those details are all I needed to know regardless of any marketing video.
> no it shouldn't be third-party sellers

It definitely is. In 2021 a seller directly emailed me and a bunch of other customers all listed in the "To" field of the email (!) after I returned & got a refund for their product. It definitely caught me off-guard, but it clearly shows me that they get access to your email in some cases.
Microsoft was one of the first companies to sign up for PRISM [1], doing so in 2007. I think there's a subconscious feel among many that because the media stopped reporting on these things, that it stopped happening. PRISM never ended, and almost certainly has only expanded and grown even more invasive and brazen largely owing society's apathy towards what Snowden revealed.

Literally to this day one can read things like the NSA manual for using their software that enables real-time absolute surveillance of Skype: "User's Guide For PRISM Skype Collection." [2] The idea of any degree of privacy from any tech company hosted in America is a lie. The main difference with China is that we lie about our surveillance state, and force companies to lie about it, while China openly advertises theirs.

I agree 100%. They burst into the tech scene with claims that were clearly fraudulent. They have demonstrated that they have no problem lying, so why would anyone support them?

> I'm 100% sure my kid would just start ripping and destroying the items on the shelving in that aisle.

You think .. but you don't actualy know is what I hear you saying :-)

In my experience small people indulge in a lot of performance art for the benefit of the faces they recognise in order to gather reactions and learn from that feedback - not as a front of brain delibrate strategy, more as innate "born to learn" pattern.

If you get in a Mexican standoff with you're own kid you're almost certainly going to lose .. I know I would with mine .. you start "daring them" not to do something and they'll start inching that jar ever closer to the edge until it drops.

"Young enough" kids will generally pull into best behaviour in a sea of faces they don't recognise, that's pretty much the time that you have a window to treat poor behaviour by simply walking away.

After that period they're more confident in front of strangers AND (uh-oh) understand that behaviour not seen by you is still behaviour known by you .. and that can manipulate you.

Child-parent relations are a non stop conveyor of escalating mirror awareness | peek-a-boo interactions .. and then puberty hits and you're into full Cold War MAD scenarios :-).

But yeah, independence for kids is pretty essential, it's good to have them walking | riding to school, looking after pets, growing food, building radios etc.

Charles Brenner has been fairly active in debunking many of Sinclair's claims:

Brenner also had a debate with de Grey:

I worked there until very recently (in an SE role for 4 years). I left Los Gatos and haven't looked back. While I'm in another major city where they have an office, before I left I hadn't been in months. Half my team ended up moving to Austin.

During the pandemic they made the open statement that people could permanently move, people did (bought houses and the like). They've openly admitted internally that they're stuck with that decision. They even went as far as sharing remote adjusted salaries based on the "tier" of city you were remote in.

Not to be prickly, but you're wrong in the broader sense. The hiring manager was saying that to YOU because they don't want to hire YOU as a remote worker.
It’s probably more related to the fact that 70% of the country didn’t actually vote for them, it’s hardly the will of the people.
The standards for MPAA ratings have changed dramatically with time. PG used to actually mean Parental Guidance, it wasn't just an initialism that meant "family friendly" in effect. Take Logan's Run (1976) for instance, that got a PG rating. It has orgy scenes and frontal nudity, if released today it would get an R rating easily.

So naturally we should build additional beaurocratic infrastructure in the US to serve the needs of < 100,000 people who may only be here for a few years (many of whom would not even be here had it not been for the deceitful lobbying of large companies wanting cheaper labor).

Other countries have rules about where things can be applied for or renewed. It's not just the US. And sometimes those rules require going back to your home country.

And since you mentioned the DMV... If I have a Texas drivers' license, I cannot renew that outside of Texas. I would have to travel back to Texas, even if I happen to be temporarily living in Hawaii.

The H1-B stamp hurdle may have been inconvenient, but many of the H1-B holders I worked with in the past would attempt to travel back home at least once a year, or if not, every other year. It is probably the rare person who leaves their family and home and does not return for years.
And stamping H1-Bs is a much lower priority need than a lot of other currently understaffed government operations.

Their point is a good one. If the basis for the legislation is merely the shortcomings of the existing technology, then the legislation will be deemed obsolete once the technology improves.

A 500 is almost always a good sign when it comes to hacking. Hacking is the art of finding the difference between intended behavior and actual behavior. That is pretty much the definition of a 500.

You can not get a ticket for going the speed limit even if the flow is generally faster. You can easily get a ticket for going with the flow over the speed limit. A simple google will yield 1000s of results of people who've gotten one

Gerrit has a way to look at all patches uploaded, but only take the last one which should be squashed/rebased, if it's configured that way (The "Fast forward only" option).

It results in very clean history, and unmodified commit hashes from a developer's commit, whereas Github's Squash and Merge will mangle the commit message by adding a PR # to it, as well as other comments, which changes the hash. PR #'s are not as good as clean hashes, IMO.

As someone who went from an org that was using Gerrit to mandatory Github usage, the latter is definitely a step backwards in code review. That said Github does have a better browsing interface than gitiles.
Brave is 100% open source: https://github.com/brave/

Normally this might just be a platitude of the sort, "Go check it for yourself." But in this case that's not what I'm saying. Brave is going to be used by large numbers of tech focused users with a privacy/security bent. And they are also competing against Google who will make sure even the slightest slip by Brave is promoted across the entirety of the web.

That code is scrutinized heavily. That the worst you can find about Brave is people making false statements about crypto stuff (it is entirely optional and opt-in with 0 coercion or dark patterns to push you there) speaks incredibly highly as to the current state of the Browser. Might that change in the future, as you seem to be suggesting? Yip! And when it does there will be a new Brave. But for now they continue to stay on an excellent path forward.

To be fair, to make the average output of a PV plant comparable to the average output of a nuclear plant you need to add some storage, which drives up the cost a bit. Probably not enough to account for the extra cost of nuclear though.

> ...and is community operated? From the headline I misinterpreted this to be a commercial cloud.

I think this is run by a company that does offer commercial AS/400 instances, but they also provide free non-commercial accounts on this one box. Which is nice because it's not trivial to get your hands on your own system as a hobbyist.

> Have never used AS/400, but from all what I have heard it is horrible even compared to CMS.

I wouldn't say it's horrible compared to CMS. It's just _very_ different. I have played with quite a few operating systems...it's a bit of a hobby of mine... and OS/400 is the most different.

In terms of writing simple terminal-oriented forms applications to do basic CRUD operations against a relational database, OS/400 is actually pretty nice.

It's just such a WEIRD system.

The thing I find frustrating about it is that while it has a lot of interesting security controls, the defaults are wide open and I suspect there aren't a lot of people who could secure it to the point where you could give untrusted users "shell" access and not worry you've left some little nook or cranny open to them that you didn't mean to. [Presumably at least one of those people are involved with the pub400.com system!]
This is arguably not true. We can look at the history of traffic accidents to see that, left to their own devices, drivers will drive faster than is safe. Laws, enforcement (cameras), and better road design (best), will get drivers to slow down.

I think kids coming home from school after learning about smoking and shaming their parents for it had a lot to do with the demise of smoking. It made adults ashamed to smoke in their own homes, where anti-smoking laws and norms otherwise had no effect. When parents knew that their kids knew they were being harmed by the habit, that gave a lot of people a strong incentive to quit. Or at least to only smoke outside.
