At the end of the day it seems as though an emotional argument occurred in the eye of the beholder. This only adds even more credibility to the root comment.

A failed experiment with the Socratic method on my part.
Oh, I've absolutely seen similar, and I don't doubt it's extremely commonplace.

But Microsoft generally supports policies for enforced disabling features like the one referenced in the post. Similarly, data exfiltration from managed to non-managed devices is an entire cottage industry. And generally that's why govt employees are expected to use separate, locked down devices where their compliance-obsessed (hopefully, but not always in practice) admin has total root.

And I don't believe you're implying this, but certainly I don't think it makes sense for companies to _not_ build internet/cloud-connected experiences and features just because there's a possibility that govt officials won't follow their own security policies and best practices.
Definitely agree with this. Just explaining the fediverse to the masses is a huge challenge.

It's like when Diaspora launched. They publicly had lofty statements about returning data ownership to the masses, replacing Facebook, "run it yourself," etc. The majority of people even in technology don't want to bother with that. It would have been hilarious to hear a Diaspora evangelist try explaining to the grandma who just wants to post pictures of her grandkids the benefits of her own Diaspora instance.

Relevant to today, you're going to try explaining to some guy who's only on Twitter to trash talk other sports fans, the benefits of sports.social or whatever? It's not going to happen.
I was careful to say "middle-period Beethoven." Beethoven's stylistic evolution over the course of his life truly astonishes. In his late period, e.g., the Grosse Fugue, one can hear Bartok being invented.

And he was stone deaf by then. It's staggering.

> Serious Question: Do you think that all software should have to be completely and constantly open-sourced? Do you think that all blueprints must be made public? Do you think that all recipes for food must be made public?

No, we have copyright and trade secrets to protect those things. There are many forms of IP protection, but patents are the most questionable by far IMO, and are more likely (in most fields) to be a net loss rather than a net gain for humanity.

> Creation is hard and should have some potential for rewards. I think we need software patents (especially) to be shorter lived and non-transferable. They can only be licensed and the licensing schedule should have to be public and available for all people at the same price. The employer can get a free license as part of the patent process for company use. This gets rid of trolls and patent farms.

Copyright protection is sufficient for software IMO. Very few pieces of software are novel enough to be worthy of a patent, and in the few cases that are, the greater number that aren't outweigh the benefit to the few. When you have to try this hard to salvage the system, it is usually best to not try and salvage it.
The news is that a country tried to influence the affairs of another country? Or is it because it is Russia or because it is a chef?

Might a large influx of a new type of user potentially change Mastodon's feature set by altering development priorities to accommodate said new users? Definitely something to consider.
One of the best things about living in India is watching families move from lower or lower-middle class to middle-class status. Usually, all it takes is someone from the family landing a white-collar job.

While the tech bodyshops (TCS, Infosys, etc.) might have a poor reputation in the US, these companies have been absolutely critical in helping move tens of millions into middle-class respectability.
I mean, it's fine if one is personally satisfied with not explicitly having evidence of the specific alleged data collection here, but speaking from experience when the time comes and people inevitably prod further for sources and only hand-wavy arguments can be produced I've found it's not the strongest/most compelling result for motivating a potential change of behavior.

Anyone here could believe this is occurring and it wouldn't likely surprise them but actually knowing concretely can have the effect of changing things. Consider the difference between people assuming various things about the NSA pre-Snowden vs post leaks and how it affected change (or at the least a better basis for it).

The same thing happened when WhatsApp added their new terms and conditions - everyone is like "Switch to Signal" (or Telegram), and they proudly reported their best days ever with the most installs.

And where are we today? All those people who switched are back on WhatsApp.

Twitter is very much in the news right now, lots of noise, everyone with their opinion on what he should do, and since he's not listening to them, they are all "I'm leaving!".

Give it a month or two and it'll all go back the way it was.

Russia's intelligence doesn't hire a US based company composed of former CIA agents, it wouldn't be called intelligence, it would be called revealing secret defense to foreign, and potentially hostile, countries

There's a big (and only) search bar at the top of the homepage. You can simply search the username and they'll pop up across instances. There's a little follow button next to their name you can click and you're done

Exactly like Venmo or Snapchat or Instagram. It's already in the cultural norms to ask "what's your insta" or "what's your venmo".

Ask HN: How to deal with jobs uncertainty/anxiety?
Hello,

I am a F1 student, about to graduate in December 2023. I recently started getting anxious looking at the job market/layoffs/hiring freeze. How to deal with it?

I am a graduate student from a decent university, academically very strong, have 2 years work experience back in my home country. I have done summer and fall internship as well as a software engineer. I still am getting job rejections/no reply backs from the company where I have applied to. :((((
I'd assume you just go based on billing country instead of geoip.
Working remotely with an international team, I have trained myself to spring into action even during deep sleep, like a cat would do. You get used to this though.
Unity has only been a serious game engine for about eight years. I remember it was a really big deal when Blizzard used it for Hearthstone.

Yeah, Unity will stick around for a while. But things do change.
I've always wondered why it is companies can sue game developers for using their buildings, but not Google or Microsoft.

I'm certain that same building is in Google Maps. And it might be in Flight Simulator, give that it's built from satellite images.
Because you happened to notice they were interesting?
IMO the "most effective way to eliminate bad patents would be to" set patent lifetimes that are industry/field specific -- you get a number of years of patent protection that should be enough to yield a positive ROI in that industry/field.

So pharma might get 20 years like they do today, hardware might get 12, software might get 8, and cryptography might get 5 (no one ever turns much of a profit with cryptography patents -- the entire industry avoids them like the plague).

This will greatly discourage patent trolls because they won't have enough years to shake people down. But it won't discourage legitimate patent owners, and it will encourage continuous innovation (so that products can keep some patent protection all the time).

> When you challenge a patent you must pay $100 in fee which you will get back (in addition to the $1000) when and if the challenge succeeds

This does little to change the dynamic. Paying a few hundred dollars to harass one’s competitors, commercially and ideologically, is peanuts.

Look at the billing address associated with the payment card. A VPN can’t mask that.
R2 is real. What's unreal is how much money Amazon is making off bandwidth costs. Cloudflare's blog goes into more detail about just how much money Amazon is making.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress/

It's not totally free - they charge for "Class B" operations, which includes reading, and it'll add up if you're sending files to every person with an Internet connection, but we are still talking about an order of magnitude or few cheaper than AWS. For static website hosting, it's probably worth noting that Cloudflare has a free tier just for that.
Great story. But the end bothered me. Particularly this part:

“Some of you will succumb and some of you won't, and my sending this warning won't alter those proportions.”

Of course sending the warning will have an effect because it becomes part of the conditioning of the people who read it! They don’t get to choose how they will be affected by it, but it will certainly have an effect. To say that a person has no free will is not to say that they are not affected by their environment.
Fair. Then what's the point of that tank?

If there was no change, would there be history? Here is Foucault from Archaeology of Knowledge:

The notion of discontinuity is a paradoxical one: because it is both an instrument and an object of research; because it divides up the fields of which it is the effect; because it enables the historian to individualize different domains but can be established only by comparing those domains.
I was at Boeing when the cockpits were redesigned to accommodate women:

1. lower control forces

2. shorter legs

3. shorter bodies (need to see over the dash)

With the lower control forces, Boeing was concerned that men would then overcontrol the aircraft, but as far as I know this hasn't turned out to be a problem.

Women were not strong enough to handle the control forces in WW2 aircraft under emergency conditions. Those airplanes were designed around the limit of a man's strength.
Uh, the experiment log on that page is actually moderately encouraging. The lesson, particularly from the EIFEX experiment, appears to be that it works great provided there's adequate silica for diatoms. No reference to Russ George required.
This looks amazing! I have been following home automation with a bit of skepticism, after all any fool can muck things up but to truly muck it up you require a computer and I dislike the traditional offerings due to privacy reasons.

You don't. There's no way to tell from the data stream.

The signal processing IC's do set flags on their pins to indicate whether interpolation was done, but this isn't handed to device driver AFAIK and certainly not passed on to the client software reading the data.

I'm reminded of something that Yishan said, which is that the #1 problem with social networks isn't free speech. Rather it's spam, which passes every "free speech" test to be undangerous yet unpleasant.

Good luck with that Mastodon. I too would like a Twitter+, but in aiming for the + you're actually losing a ton of base features that users in fact care about, like antispam and "one big universe" with good signal to noise.
Getting banned was the point, to illustrate Musk's blatant hypocrisy towards his own ideal of free speech.

The text on that page is extraordinarily misleading, if indeed "Connected experiences" are sending your data to MS servers. Nothing on the page is explicit about the apps sending your data to MS, the only hint that this is happening is the footnote that these "Connected experiences" do not work if you are not connected to the Internet.

For example, here is the description of the first type of such experiences:

> Connected experiences that analyze your content

> Connected experiences that analyze your content are experiences that use your Office content to provide you with design recommendations, editing suggestions, data insights, and similar features. For example, PowerPoint Designer or Translator.

> The following table provides a list of connected experiences that analyze your content and also provides links to more information about them.

They are going to quite long lengths to avoid mentioning where the data is analyzed.

> But I am terrified of the increasingly bleak looking future, and despite putting a lot of effort into conservation and living with as small a footprint as possible, I don't see much hope for our broken civilisation, much less our species

Yeah, I struggle with that too. At the same time, there is a huge amount of opportunity for average people to make an impact in whatever small sphere of influence we may have.

If I always frame my efforts in relation to the entirety of the world's social and environmental problems, of course those efforts are going to seem insignificant; but I think that's as misleading as, say, viewing my personal spending habits as inconsequential based on how much they impact the global economy. Small changes in your local community or social circle really do matter!

That's one reason I like platforms like iNaturalist: it's a good tool to encourage others to simply learn more about the living things around them, which is a significant step in nudging someone from indifference toward being an advocate for nature.

Sorry if that's not helpful, but I'd really like to encourage you to keep doing what you're doing, because it probably matters a lot more than you think it does (especially to all the creatures that live in and around your larger-than-average backyard!)
There were and are non-profits scholarships. They simply aren't big enough to have the effect that government has.

There's no real way to debug unexpected behavior short of digging through the W3 spec. For example you can't set height / width on inline elements, but you'll never see any error messages or warnings in devtools / IDEs when you try. It doesn't help that tutorials rarely discuss how "layout algorithms" [0] (block, inline, flex, grid) affect certain rules.

1) additional profit from raising prices won't go towards the bottom line, so the incentive to raise price is not as attractive

2) if a company is hell bent on raising prices to capture profit, there is still an incentive to reduce tax liability by re-investing those profits into the company (increasing headcount would benefit the non-ruling class)

Workflows + Cloud Scheduler can perform checks for about $0.53 per region per month. Create a workflow calling the endpoint, wrap it in a try/retry/except (possibly using a custom predicate), and add a trigger to run it every minute. As bonuses, you get full execution history and can write very flexible logic for remediation.

One trick is you'll want to store some kind of global flag on an outage so you don't keep triggering your remediation every minute throughout the outage. Firestore works well for this. (If you really want no dependencies, you can get clever with the workflow sleeping and triggering itself with state rather than using a recurring trigger.)

First of all, sagas are an amazing concept that I still cherish even if I don’t use them anymore (hype not there?).

Regarding the hooks comment I’m not sure I follow. Surely components are also idempotent (if you skip useEffect) and should be replayable - that’s at least how I think react refresh can manage to keep state intact during file changes in development.

Anyway I still very much value the concepts behind sagas so thanks for great work.
"Run it yourself" is the worst possible model of social media network. It means I will be strictly incapable of sending a video to a billion people, because I could never afford the hosting bill. It also means that I could never use social media to do any kind of anti-government organizing (protests, revolutions, etc) because even the weakest, dumbest regime on the planet will be able to DoS me right off the air.
I'm not sure I agree. I mean, yeah it's great once you have found them. But I would of never of discovered stats twitter or other great communities if they were off in some isolated silo/mastadon instance. It lacks discoverability.
