tl;dr:

"Of all the things that can boost emotions, motivation, and perceptions during a workday, the single most important is making progress in meaningful work. And the more frequently people experience that sense of progress, the more likely they are to be creatively productive in the long run."

"Inner work life drives performance; in turn, good performance, which depends on consistent progress, enhances inner work life. We call this the progress loop; it reveals the potential for self-reinforcing benefits."

"So, the most important implication of the progress principle is this: By supporting people and their daily progress in meaningful work, managers improve not only the inner work lives of their employees but also the organization’s long-term performance, which enhances inner work life even more."

Yes. WhatsApp is a hideous and bloated app and there are far better solutions.
DHE has already been considered weak, with ECDHE as the recommended replacement, for a long time now, so I suspect that most systems operated by people who take security seriously already won't be vulnerable to this.

> providing great savings to providers - but probably no savings to consumers

For example, I’ve not studied much economics, but my undestanding is that the savings might come about through a reduction in inflation of prices.
I think the difference is that there are fairly conclusive studies showing that social media use, for all ages, can negatively influences happiness. Studies for TV, comics, and games never seemed to be conclusive. They're all very different things. An understanding of one doesn't give an understanding of another. They each deserve their own conclusion. I suspect VR will be the next one in that list.
All that matters is if you enjoy the journey. The outcome is uncertain.

Ask HN: Have the URL shortcuts sheets.new and docs.new stopped working?
I'm getting the following error when I enter sheets.new or docs.new in my browser (it used to automatically open a new Google Sheet or new Google Doc):

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

> exponentially is just an intensifier applied to a comparative.

That is how it is misused, yes. Used correctly, it refers to a class of functions that take a varying quantity as input. cf linearly, quadratically.

> ...lily pads filled the pond exponentially. Which modifies filled not a comparative.

I don't have a problem with that example. Well, I would prefer it to be "lily pads multiplied exponentially to fill the pond", but that's not much of a jump.

The verb "filled" suggests the input: time. "ultrafast ultrasound is exponentially faster [than traditional ultrasound]" does not. Is it exponential in the amount of power you apply? The duration of a reading? The number of goats you sacrifice?
"Morality is either objective or completely arbitrary" is a false dichotomy. Obviously ethics isn't objective (I mean what would that even mean, absent some deity?), but with some reasonable foundational beliefs such as "I generally want people to have it good and not suffer", you're already pretty constrained and guided in your reasoning. But the belief that it's generally good when people don't suffer is obviously subjective, even if widespread.

Ethics is hard. There's a reason it's not a solved problem.

At what time has data ever been cheaper than SMS? That "Blue=free Green=10¢" would likely only have been true for people on really crummy plans sending a message while connected to Wi-Fi. Data has never been "free". They would have had to show iMessage messages as green when sent over the phone network.

It was to mark the "plebs" so the "plebs" would be blamed for any issues rather than Apple.

We are already in such a society. Secrecy is an option in your employment negotiation. If you want to talk about your salary - go ahead and make it a part of your employment agreement. If others don't want to talk about their salary and instead negotiate for something else like a higher salary or more time off it's their prerogative too.
I once heard that an editor spends the majority of its time in an error state, and only periodically someone stops typing in hopefully(!) a valid state. Thinking how to generate helpful recovery states in an ide's parser sounds like an incredible amount of work
I switched to the iPhone and, under some aspects… it’s so much better. I had an iPhone for on call duty previously.

If you see the phone as just a tool, the iphone has no rivals.

It either can or cannot do something. You don’t have to evaluate seven different brands.

The ui is okay, and once you get used to it you’ll 99.9% recognise the ui in the next iphone.

It’s small! The iphone se is beautifully small. Yet fast and snappy.

And the next time I can get the next iphone without thinking too much. Which is huge. Xiaomi today might be good, and xiaomi tomorrow might be trash. Same for samsung. Same for pixel.

No wonder.

> So, maybe instead of focusing on bullying we can just focus on punishing companies that profit from bullying.

This is an extreme take. Yes bullying is is a consequence of society. Don’t be lazy and blame someone else for your societies ills. Especially when the solution is simple: encouraging the use of an alternative. No. RCS isn’t the alternative. WhatsApp, Line, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, TikTok, Discord etc, etc, etc are all mature, are used widely by the rest of the world (where SMS is practically free to use as well). The easier solution, and much cheaper for everyone is to change behaviour. It’s extremely naïve to think that changing the colour of a bubble will stop this sort of bullying.

Read some of the history around natural philosophy some few hundred years ago. It’s a real hoot, how petty and ego-driven some of these people were. Leibniz’s attempts at taking credit for Newton’s hard work come to mind. (Tongue somewhat planted in cheek here.)

Research has always been about getting credit for first discovering something, to some extent.
I'm noticing very little discussion about the user aspect, and I say that with non-savvy users in mind. I run a mid-sized web app/community where I've been supporting such users for a long time.

Right now, I offer a classic login, and a few social providers. You'd think this is straightforward to support, but about 70% of support requests consists of the endless ways in which users can mess this up.

"Can't get in"

Try recover password. Email didn't come. Because they entered the wrong email. Correct email this time. No wait, think I signed up with a social account, not sure which one, have many. Login worked. Wait now it doesn't again (saved browser password did not update).

This is just the tip of the iceberg. This new solution, whatever merit it has, is going to be additive. It won't replace anything, it's yet another way to log in, if at all, as it depends on websites implementing it and about 90% of the web is basically not maintained.

So it's only adding complexity/confusion specifically to these users, which I consider to be the vast majority. In turn leading to more support headaches.
From the article you linked, “the Zapatistas have rejected and defied political classification.” I think they main issue is that they have a deep indigenous tradition outside of socialist anarchism, although they have clear intersections of thought.

Intentional community development is one of my projects right now, so I appreciate the reference!

I think what you’re describing is something better than anarchism because it has a lot less historical violent baggage associated with it and probably deserves a new name. It might get one if it grew enough. It would probably still involve hierarchies based on consensus and clear limits on scope and time. More arrangements like these would do a lot of good, and I hope we get more of them!

> “I think there’s this notion that humans doing math have some rigid reasoning system—that there’s a sharp distinction between knowing something and not knowing something,” says Ethan Dyer, a machine-learning expert at Google. But humans give inconsistent answers, make errors, and fail to apply core concepts, too. The borders, at this frontier of machine learning, are blurred.

This part resonates with me. There was a time when I could calculate congruent modulo problems with exponents, but I couldn’t do it step by step, I could only “hallucinate” in a fuzzy way to arrive at the solution, somehow like recalling the solution from memory.

When we have to explain our reasoning we can’t think the same way. It’s like thinking with a debugger attached.

Inability to adapt is a powerful way to select. If the government didn't support people these days, our society is so complex that at least 50% of the population would probably starve and die.

Modern society just got too complex for most people to survive. They spent a million years just grinding corn or herding sheep, and most truly peasant grade people never got beyond that.

Not being able to survive a winter is a good way for nature to select.
Agreeing with the other comment, that’s a false binary in your logic. Ethics, and morality, are different things and can’t be contained in an either/or statement well.

> if it was available on any computer that fulfills the hardware requirements to participate

Thank you, that's the walled garden perspective I was missing, same as the complaint of those that want to run macOS on non-Mac hw. Usually the walled garden complaints are from the other side of the wall, Apple device users being prevented from installing what they want unless it is already available from AppStore. I didn't consider the other side of that wall.
I can register an authenticator multiple times, for instance to represent multiple different accounts of my own, or represent multiple people on a shared device.

If I delete a credential, the expectation is that registering a new credential is not going to correlate the authenticator (and thus the user).

If I want to have hygiene steps of rotating the cryptographic key a user uses to log in, I won't want registration to create the same key pair each registration.

And for the cloud sync:

The UX can present that web authentication is an option to log in. The user will be confused if that option is presented for sites which will not recognize the authenticator.

The site can store data alongside a credential to be returned to optimize the log in process, such as a site-specified identifier to look up the user credential in a database. That state needs to be synchronized.
The cost of this challenge is likely bigger than the market. How many large code bases need to be translated from X to Y? Probably not very many. There are only so many legacy COBOL systems.

Big issues off the top of my head.

Legacy support. Legacy code is already difficult to understand. If it was originally written in another language that would only make it harder to grok.

Transpiled output is often ugly. Developers in general seem to dislike modifying generated code for a number of reasons. I imagine transpiled code would end up implicitly frozen, and new code would only be added to new files.

Language idioms are hard to translate. Some structures are unique to languages and their equivalents may be considered bad in other languages.

You would either need equivalent libraries in new languages or also translate dependencies. You could probably find equivalent libraries, but their scope may vary.

Large scale code organization varies between languages. Things like Dependency Injection may not translate at all. Some languages may use config and some use code for the same thing.
I am not writing off your experience. I am saying, that while your experience is valid for you, it cannot be extrapolated industry wide.

For the report, I don't have a link handy. I looked into this in the past and was able to find a few different reports of that nature. I haven't looked for one in the last year or two, so like I said in another comment, if things have changed and what I read is out of date now, I'd be happy to have an update as well.

Nice as a bit of moralizing. Plausible as an ivory-tower public policy. But the article says not a word about the political possibility nor viability, in the U.S., of Pres. Biden publicly proposing cocaine legalization.

If they have to use 2 apps, they'll just end up communicating with me in the clear using their "default SMS" app on their phone. That's what this is going to result it...a reduction in overall message security due to people defaulting to what's easier...which is to _not_ have to remember which app to use for which "send a message" purpose. Fuck.

Exactly right. In fact, I will be doing this too. Right now, I use Signal as my default messaging app, and messages go via Signal to people who've registered their phone number with Signal without me having to do anything to effect that. When Signal stops working as an SMS client, I'm not going to look up which of my contacts wants to use Signal and which can only use SMS - I'm just going to use my default SMS app for everything except the couple of group chats which are on Signal already. Messages which would have been opportunistically encrypted are now going to go out plaintext, because the friction to find out who uses Signal and who doesn't is too high.

This already happens with iOS, because the Signal app doesn't work as a default SMS client. People who use Signal and Android reliably send me messages over Signal, whereas my contacts who use Signal and iOS mostly send messages over SMS unless they're directly replying to something I've sent them over Signal.

And even if I wanted to do the work to send everything over Signal to those contacts, how am I supposed to remember exactly which of my kid's friend's parents use Signal and which don't? Fuck it, the juice isn't worth the squeeze, everything is going over SMS.

I'll just have to hope that Google figures out a way integrate a seamless, opportunistic end-to-end encryption protocol into the default Android messaging client, since Signal is deliberately dropping the ball here.
