Indeed, and I am not sure if there was a consensus on that topic back then.

However, it is remarkable that some predicted it, as not everyone was paying attention.

One issue with "scientists" (and engineers, as well as other humans, including me and you, and everyone on HN) is that they can't help but give their "expert" opinion on every topic, even if they are not an actual expert (related to Dunning-Kruger, although I was recently pointed out[1] that what people call DK is not what the paper was about).

And, from my experience, we tend to attach more credibility to claims by famous people than from skilled people. Or at least broadcast them more. Einstein said that after he became famous, people started asking his opinion on any topic, from politics to football.

Yeah. My HP toner cartridge has been "empty" for about a year and is still printing fine! It has done more pages since it was empty than before it was empty.
It's uniform enough that we don't hear about the selective treatment.
That’s a very limited point of view. Think of brand management. What if suddenly people start seeing tweets from very problematic people, and Apple ads next to that?

And imagine if that makes the news cycle after that?

As part of the LCA the employer must attest there is no strike or lockout, that the salary of similarly employed workers is not affected, & that the job application must be provided to workers already at the company.

So no, you can't just threaten to replace all your employees with H1-B visa holders.
I can support the concept of free speech without cheering on everything someone might utter with their speech. I support free speech but I’m against dishonesty and calling someone’s employer to fire them because you disagree with them.

I just don’t necessarily think those cases should let the state prosecute you.

You might want to be sure you’re interpreting someone’s position in a way they would agree with before leveling something as grave as to assert their principals are inconsistent.

Free speech is generally a legal thing while one may expect social mores to correct for the things they find distasteful and be disappointed when they don’t. That is not a contradiction.
If one of your classmates takes to pushing you around, taking your stuff, embarrassing you, calling you names, etc. This is normal behaviour in apes who are trying to establish a dominance hierarchy. The bully likely sees you as a soft target who is easy to dominate. The best course is to correct that assumption - escalate conflict - fight back, fight dirty. It's the same rationale as in prison - you don't want to end up at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy. The best way to avoid that is to make friends and be more trouble than you are worth.
I wish I could think of these amazing ideas .
While that's technically true, doesn't that just highlight how pointless the company is?

I agree with free speech and oppose censorship, but I also promote tolerance of those we disagree with and a certain degree of latitude in putting up with things others say without jumping on them immediately for things I disagree with or endless protests for what many believe to be innocuous or good faith beliefs. Cancellation is usually not just protest, it is warfare by any means to smear and destroy someones life and silence dissent from your position. It is dirty tricks instead of intellectual dialogue.
> Solution: Let 'em work it out themselves.

Working-it-out is an effective approach for two people who want to solve an issue - an issue that they're both fairly responsible for.

But where you have one child experiencing long-term and unearned mistreatment at the hands of many peers - attempts at working-it-out are such a mismatched response that more mistreatment seems likely.

This question hasn’t actually been answered though. Also if your scientific explanation is questioned by half of the people then the problem is with your scientific explanation.

Science is about making predictions, so save the condescension because questioning climate science is the more scientific view than accepting it by faith.

I mean, sure looks like you were trying to argue that crypto isn't performing worse than the riskiest decile of the stock market, which just isn't true at all.

Manufacturers want to provide a product that produces reliable high quality prints. That's why the toner low warning comes up very early, so that there's no chance that your important documents look unprofessional due to low toner levels.

As a consumer, naturally, you can almost always ignore the warning and use the toner until you can't even read granny's apple pie recipe anymore.
"Whataboutism" is when somebody or something else is brought up as a defense. It's common in HN threads about the Chinese Communist Party, but the grandparent doesn't seem like it. It reads more like, "Here's another company helping the CCP!"

It extends the shame and conversation instead of excusing it.
It's a slap in the face of legal immigrants. This, along with quotas that restrict permanent residency based on place of birth, are inhumane policies that signal to legal immigrants that they are not wanted here. Apparently, the fact that millions of hispanic illegal immigrants already break the putative purpose of the quota: that no large segment of the population has close ties to any given country, so that they can not disproportionately influence foreign policy toward that country (e.g., Donetsk and Luhansk) is of no consequence: the quota remains in place. Meanwhile, Canada is planning to bring in 500,000 immigrants a year to replace boomers leaving the workforce. A phenomenal opportunity to bring in highly-paid citizens who will integrate very easily into the country and provide economic benefits from day one to the host country.
The parent explained exactly how their critical thinking skills led them to believe the images are unaltered.

I mean, if people wanted to track visitors without cookies, they’d just use etags…

https://www.secjuice.com/etag-entity-tag-tracking/

Has Apple’s ITP closed this particular loophole by ignoring etags in third party iframes and capping them to 7 days etc. ?

It seems browsers will want to restrict ALL first party cookies to 7 days unless the visitor explicitly allows some domain to store their identity.

Frankly speaking, identity can be done better without cookies. Look at Web3 sign-ins, we need something built into the browser and seamless. For now maybe an extension. Then browser makers can have a privacy mode that retires cookies, entirely.

But how are you supposed to do caching without storing and sending identifying data equivalent to cookies?

Thoughts?

In Spain they're trying... but not really succeeding.

> Whenever you have bigger countries you almost always have several levels of local governance - state, county or Land. These local governments often work with full autonomy and do not share date with the central government.

Here this is particularly relevant with healthcare. In some regions I get full coverage with my regional card with no questions asked. In others I have to go through hoops, and apparently they have no way of knowing my clinical history.

> In this case even solving such simple and basic thing as a centralised login solution is difficult since why would the owner of the centralised login solution should have knowledge of which citizen used which local governments service?

In Spain they tried to solve this with DNIe (your national identity card has a chip) and cetificates. Turns out it's quite difficult to make it work for 99% of the people, and even if you're tech savvy some government portals make it SO HARD that you just want to give up.

In a job I had before they used VMs with Windows XP and IExplorer for some services.

It improved a lot in last years, but the improvement is in areas where you have to pay money, they've got fast for that. Everything else is still a mess.

So in the end they'd come up with Cl@ave 365 with is a login/password solution you have to set up in person into some government office but it doesn't give you access to the full catalog of services, so you still need DNIe/Certificate.

The thing is, they still get the money from you. Nobody gets fired. Friendly contractors still get money. There's no rush to improve. They have no incentives.

But the worst thing is that they have this mess going on, and when old people goes to some government office they tell them to go online and do their own thing.

Pretty much like companies. Feels nice to pay taxes for a service isn't being provided.

There's people pushing to get this fixed, but the spanish state is... like an angry elephant.
Love to try if there is an open source version of this.
I hope we can all begin to learn some lessons from stuff like this; I think this kind of thing is the only path to a remotely interesting "metaverse" to the extent that such an idea is valuable.

And it's so weird. It's obvious that private companies buying game properties is very often death and annoyance -- but it's (sadly to me) equally obvious that straight-up "nothing but free open source" is unlikely to get the engagement and interest. (e.g. otherwise Minetest would have taken over Minecraft a while ago)

I have no good answers here, but I hope people think about the question?

Maybe they add increasing amounts of lead weights to the cartridges each year, so that whenever you put a new one in it weighs more than the old one.
It's pretty obvious that legislation or anti-trust action will come that opens up mobile computing platforms.

Considering the whole of a large market share mobile computing OS a private market, and not subject to competitive pressures, leads to monopolistic capture similar to what utilities could achieve without regulation. Why not just move to another neighborhood if you don't like your electric bill? Well then you're subject to the monopoly on that side of the fence just the same. Illusion of choice/competition

Competitive markets are what drive down margins, thus feed those margin savings back into consumer's pockets. Cheaper goods+services are what enriches broader society and are a net positive in my view.

Some states solve the natural monopoly problem with utilities by allowing consumers to choose the energy provider separately from the utility itself. e.g making the power provider a competitive market.

If Apple's app store and browser are the best, and people prefer them, they can continue to use them. But they will have other choices in the future

There's a difference between knowing the laws of the road, and being a competent enough driver that you can perform them. The rules are rarely, if ever, enforced, so a lot of drivers just figure it's not a big of a deal.

It's easy to believe that road safety isn't that important when you're surrounded by several tons of plastic and metal armor.

(disclaimer: no idea what effective altruism is about)

You seem to believe that "truly good" causes have a requirement to have "influential backers" behind them in order for you to consider doing them. That seems like a pretty silly way to decide what things are good/bad to do -- People did the same thing with FTX when Matt Damon's commercial aired, and look how that ended up for them. Maybe just research concepts for yourself and decide what's a good idea rather than waiting for a celebrity or rich person to tell you it's worth doing. Chances are, things celebrities tell you to do are the things LEAST worth doing.

Well, if your site was created on that date according to ICANN records, and you have multiple posts implying that it existed before that, it's one more little piece of a wider pattern of misdirection such as the stuff discussed above. So yeah, it does seem a bit odd.
Having a single point of failure is a terrible idea for the health of the company. It is often unavoidable early on in a product, but if the product is successful, there is a strong need to eliminate the single point of failure.

This can be very hard on engineers that were previous the go-to person for a key area. The person and product was successful so the ask to delegate and dilute ownership seems completely illogical. Some ICs don't want to give this up and so they switch from IC to management for the wrong reasons, leading to a manager that isn't really interested in management and is reluctant to delegate and enable the team.

I've seen this occur many times and it's always painful. Starlink is now large enough that it's a huge risk to have a single key person responsible for optics.
Vacation me has perfected that into early in the afternoon.
Right, but that's not "their [sic] are no legal residents in the US that are eligible for the job". That's the PERM process.
Depends on what you mean by consequences. If the consequence is people thinking you are a raging asshole sure. If it's people strongly disagreeing with you, sure.

But if consequences means there is a coordinated effort among major corporations to punish and prevent you from speaking by de-platforming you or anyone who gives you a platform--that isn't freedom of speech (regardless of whether its allowed under the 1st amendment or not).

US social media banned covid misinformation as defined by US health officials. Why is banning covid misinformation as defined by Chinese health officials any different? Shit, the Chinese policy isn't even that different than the US's view 18 months ago--US lockdown protestors were vilified.

Not only that. The ability to track your own visitors is BUILT INTO how the web operates.

All a site has to do is include analytics in its server-side library. And that’s it. Doesnt even need CNAME cloaking. It can send the analytics anywhere.

The thing ITP and others try to stop is tracking users ACROSS sites.

But if you use single-sign-on with FB or any other service, they can get your public photo, name and just find you on faceboon thru some search engine that spidered all profiles.

So if you really want to be anonymous, stop using the single sign on and reusing passwords etc.
The big question is if this was deleted from the device, or from the cloud. Cloud censorship is well known, where apps like WeChat are known to censor and put you on a list.

If I were to guess (and hope) this is a case of being deleted from the cloud - something that's not uncommon in the west, the difference being that the western world uses it to enforce copyright.
It's great in terms of question understanding but its responses are extremely verbose. It feels like someone who is talking at you rather than with you. Almost like an Aspberger sufferer who memorized all of Wikipedia.

Elon Musk seems to do a lot of things from intuition / gut, when he's not busy claiming other people's work as his own.

For example, he spent a ton of resources into the Tesla megafactories trying to automate 100% of the process end to end. What he found was what manufacturers already knew, which is that it ended up not being worth the cost trying to program robots to manipulate numerous small objects in 3D space. In this I recall he claimed it was one of his biggest mistakes.

Now we're seeing him again operate largely from emotion and intuition, driven by what appears to be ego and energy from sycophants. Ultimately this has already cost him big, but I think we're just seeing the beginning of the problems that lay ahead for him

No substance, same arguments repeated from both sides all the time. Seems like a stalemate.

I see to ways out for a company that feels it’s getting ripped of by Apple:

1. Don’t publish in App Store, do a web app or encourage your customers to get a different platform device. Not sure which one since Google Play Store AFAIK has the same rules.

2. Charge users +30% more when buying through IAP if same is offered any place else and eat this as a cost of doing business.

Apple owns the platform. Apple sets the rules.

Never, ever, ever buy a printer that takes cartridges. They’re discounted to at or below cost where they make the money back on cartridges.

They use ink to clean the heads. They say empty when they’re not. The cartridges that come with the printer aren’t full. There is a constant firmware update war to defeat third party cartridges for obvious reasons.

Buy a tank printer that you fill with ink bottles.
