I guess you’re implying that resignation would be the more just course of action from the CEO, but I don’t think everyone sees it that way (not me for 1).

I think resignation would be the more cowardly move. The ceo dug a deep hole and at least 1k ppl lost their job. They have the responsibility of digging out of that hole before more ppl have to get laid off.

Resigning now would read to me like “hey guys, I know I made a mess here but, oh well, have fun dealing with it, good luck to the next guy”. Absolutely would not work with someone like that in future prospects
The CSAM hash utility was to pop open images in an encrypted iCloud, or witch china (nor the US) have today.

There’s no reason that the tech couldn’t be used on non-iCloud images in china. But by that logic, they could just force-ably upload images in china and forget the whole hashing nonsense.

The same way humans have for millennia: relying on authority, reputation, and auditing. Blockchains have enormous overhead because they’re trying to be anonymous but once you need real-world connections you’re already giving that up, which makes it much cheaper to simply rely on those existing relationships.

Historically, that was things like documents being stamped or sealed by a trusted third party witness, escrow agents to hold funds or property until some transaction finished, auditors confirming that a particular good was in the expected condition, etc. In every case, anonymity would be a negative because you want to know, for example, that your notary doesn’t have a criminal history or a reputation for sloppy record keeping.

In the electronic era, that could be implemented using PKI where different parties register keys (or more likely corporate CAs) and use those to sign transactions or witness having seen a particular record. That’s similar to a blockchain in terms of trust but orders of magnitude more efficient and robust since it doesn’t require a network connection to a complex distributed service.
+1.

Careful still, public services are also a matter of human representation, of accessibility, to nurture the relation between (all) the citizens and the state (as it also is in the private sector, between a brand and customers).

Moving public services online is great IFF it does not remove at the same time a satisfying option for offline/physical access to the same services, for those that are not able to use the online access (disabled, old, unused to computers or tablets, remote areas, etc. - those are still a significant part of the people, and even if, an equal access to public services is a must).

I agree! The top 7 links are usually all ads anyway, or low quality content like you mentioned. I tend to use Bing (not much better) but only switch to Google for getting scores, e.g. 'world cup' to see the current games.

Seems like search could go in two directions (away from Google): Personally curated search results, not sure of a good example on this but thinking of something that takes the best reddit comments on a query, something like that. Or search with the GPT-3 models, a recent demo that's cool is: https://metaphor.systems/
> If a web server wanted to track you, they would just use your IP.

I'd think a HN user would know that using an IP to track isn't effective.

For most home desktop users, at best, it tracks an individual household, not a person. For corporate users and highly privacy-conscious home users, it's probably completely worthless as VPNs will make everyone come from a single IP.

For mobile users, it's completely worthless. You'd be tracking users of a specific WiFi network. If your phone is connecting via IPv4, then who knows who you're tracking, as phones on a mobile network will share an IP address.
I think you're getting downvoted because your comment appears to be completely off-topic from the post, and people immediately associate it with spam (especially when including a link).
>being able to resolve conflict, independently

A shame sometimes the best way to resolve a conflict is eye gouging the aggressor before they permanently break a part of your body

The thing that stuck with me the most by getting the "resolve your conflicts by yourself" treatment was that no matter how much someone is being a piece of shit, the only one you can count on is yourself

Everyone else will watch as you break, and only intervene if you fight back. And punishment is only ever dished out in equal measures between aggressor and victim

Noticing that was probably the start of considering people to be rotten by default, reasons are needed to assume someone isn't
You're a nice person. I'm often alone, and I might or might not welcome the company, depending.

It's probably easier for a table of three or more to welcome a stranger. There are actually restaurants where "big tables full of strangers" are the rule, not the exception.

"Sit at the bar" is my recommendation. Being alone is more normal there, and it's easy to chat with the person next to you.
The headline makes it sound like the robot can make this decision but in reality this is just a RC car with a weapon attached to it that is still controlled by a human
Programming languages exist primarily to provide pretty paths for certain kinds of development, which is to say by the structure of the language they make certain kinds of solutions more natural to the developer, while making others more painful. Java's pretty path is large, object oriented towers of classes, with state scattered rough-shod throughout the application.

To be fair, there has been some effort to ease the insanity. Record classes, lambdas, and the like lessen the pain of trying to write Java against its original orthodoxy. But before that, a simple "sort list of lists by first value" method involved making a class available in the current scope that implemented Comparator<List<X>> which contains a method "compare".

As opposed to "sortby (comparing fst) list_o_lists"
I'm not going to dispute many of the recommendations (exercise a lot! Sleep more! Eat better! Sleep later aka don't have an alarm clock or job!)

But... this seems a lot like "apple a day keeps the doctor away" and other fiendishly planted sayings by industry into the general discourse. These days the industries fund pro-industry studies and then trumpet them in media.

Breakfast has been under assault by lifestyle trends for decades, this smacks of an industry study.
It's almost a tautology. All things being equal, the less time spent on bureaucratic processes, the better.

Its just so that governments (and academic institutions, nonprofits, healthcare, etc.) are the natural environments for bureaucratic bloat.
I presume you compile C/C++ code. How does your file structure look like? Do you have a lot of files with little to no content? You can speed things up by merging files. I have managed to reduce the building speed by around 95% by doing such simple things.

Reducing the amount of unnecessary headers is also beneficial, but in comparison to merging files it barely makes a difference.
*Growth* is down in certain sectors. Many companies were staffing to support and capture possible future growth. When next year is expected to look like this year, a lot fewer people are actually needed.
Isn't it all still stored digitally though? Paper tax forms that have to be sent in are still processed to be read and stored digitally, but it would be much easier to not have to send the paper forms.

The solar storm will strike individual systems that aren't connected as well.
Cringe moment, this is abusing the feature where last-modified was created for
So the gym I train at (they grabbed me after I saw my kids doing it) has a rule that they need to be at least 3 and potty trained, so our youngest started a little bit ago and is more working on the skill of listening and paying attention than some of the techniques but my 5 yo is learning some good stuff and is soon going to move from the young children's class to the youth class where the emphasis moves from holding still and paying attention to actual BJJ.

So I'd say 4 is a good age to start, if you need to find a good gym I'd recommend going over to old.reddit.com/r/bjj and asking for advice on there, you'll probably get some good advice.

Also it makes wrestling with the kids way more fun when they try and practice their BJJ at the same time.
So basically you advocate not only educating the own kid, but also educating their peers to intervene, and also educating the older ones to police the area, and educating the adults in the end. Do you really think this is a realistic policy, over the lifetime of your school kid? In an ideal world, no idea, but in this real world Id say zero chance. However I can tell you how it works around here (Switzerland, by no means perfect either) where school personal will usually intervene - and somehow the bullied kids manage to learn their social skills as well. Yes we might be apes but even among apes the social structures are so different that the comparison is mostly meaningless.
So a code monolith I can just dump on a Linux box is in again?

Our figurative ideas, ephemera, seem to be in a loop of taking a simple mental model, branching it into a mess, feeling over extended, circling back to a simpler mental model, branching it into an over extended mess.

Monotheism versus polytheism, and dozens of flavors of a religion rooted in a central umbrella idea.

Nation states allow creating over leveraged branches of economic Ponzi schemes.

And we’re all certain this is net new and never before seen of humans because the labels are all different!
Every time things like this come up, people rightly mention multigenerational households.

But then someone else brings up the lack of privacy and imposition of having multiple generations under one roof.

What I never heard people talk about, though is changing our architectural practices to support multigenerational households. There are "mother-in-law suites" you see sometimes (though these days they seem to be mostly for renters). But I think there is a huge opportunity to innovate in how we design homes to balance the need for community with larger families against the need for privacy and solitude.
I’m so sorry, that sounds unimaginably hard. It’s hard for me to cook interesting things when my SO is just out of town for a bit.

One thing that did work for me when we were separated for a while was treating food like a chore, like showering or running. I gave myself permission to be monotonous, and just kept eating the same simple healthy things.

Is anyone actually defending effective altruism right now? SBF has effectively flushed it down the drain along with the investors he scammed.
My fitbit will do sleep tracking and use a silent alarm (ie. it vibrates rather than beeps) to wake me up during a window of time where it detects I'm not in a REM cycle. This has worked extremely well for me and it's almost a bit jarring. I wake up, not instantly "alert", but not groggy. I don't get that "smack the phone to turn off the alarm" desire. It's more of a "Huh, I'm awake now. Okay." type of feeling. The only catch is it needs a 30 minute window in order to detect and it can "wake" you at any point during that window.
There should be an adage, an internet one at least, along the lines of - The older one gets, the more one agrees with Stallman.
Same story in much of Canada.
Fiber makes you less hungry and is completely antithetical to how the modern food industry operates.

One huge pet peeve of mine recently is when I'm shopping for high fiber foods, these days everything claiming to be high fiber is also loaded with sugar because "zero net carbs".

Oatmeal has good fiber, but it's nearly impossible to find sanely portioned oatmeal that isn't loaded with sugar. Some foods like almonds have a ton of fiber, but they load them up with salt to trick your brain into eating a ton of them.

It seems like you either have to make everything from scratch yourself, which is a huge time suck, and really bad for portion control, or you stick to the over-processed junk food that stores will sell you, and spend all your energy practicing will power not to succumb to the evils of modern food science.
The thing I'm starting to get increasingly scared about is what these US companies will do with the data that's already there. A significant proportion of our society has become totally OK with censorship, cancellation, and ostracizing of those who they politically disagree with. One could easily imagine a situation where this intensifies and suddenly political ideologues are analyzing all the voice recordings Alexa ever made in order to out political enemies. Keeping all this data around, in my view, means it will inevitably get misused over a long time scale.
> Instead of just thinking about bundling a number of methods together with a data structure, you can make sure that a single method within that bundle works the way you expected across a number of objects. You might even be using these ideas in your code, but don't even realize it.

I think this was GP's point. They complain that no-one explains why the category theory _jargon_ is useful. As you point out, the jargon is not needed in order to use the concept. Someone might even come up with the concept independently of the jargon.
"Smart TVs" come to mind, though this is corporate rather than government. For example there's talk of them having an embedded 5G modem so that they're able to phone home even if you've blocked them from your network, or never connected them to your network in the first place.
My thought is that adversarial state actors are the biggest threat. Didn't Russia interfere with some of their services at one point?

Undercut competition by burning raised capital. Then once you've got the market share, you boil the frogs you gathered. I believe the euphemism around these parts is "disruption".
I don't think you were making this argument, but the private healthcare system in the US is suffering a nursing "shortage" as well, so it shouldn't be taken as a truism that in the private sector, the wages and conditions simply improve enough to balance the supply of nurses.
> And people wonder why the US has blocked Huawei infrastructure in the US.

I agree. I don't know how the US can allow Apple products if they're willing to shut down Airdrop to suppress Chinese protests.

> They have no qualms silencing their own population and invest heavily in surveillance technology. Why would anyone want their equipment?

Yes, but enough about the US, we're talking about China.
They can go to the local council / municipality and get the help there (either computers they can use for free, or from the clerks who can help them).
AWS Athena now supports Apache Spark
If you spent a lot of time and money moving to a new country for work then you don't want to do all that again. In the USA, if you aren't a citizen and you have a working TN visa, then you literally have DAYS to find a new job or else you get deported. Thats why its important, because the current laws aren't realistic with finding a new job. They don't take into account the multiple interviews, the slow responses and callbacks. The entire process takes a long time.
Wow! Very cool! Love the idea
That's the country from which Skype emerged; the first usable video calling experience, years ahead of everyone else.
RE: Thinking Fast and Slow - I seem to remember a few times where that's been posted here that some say some of the concepts have been disproven/aren't rooted in science. I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the same thing. I've always been intrigued by that book.

Also, do you mind explaining a bit about what you mean by "information/awareness hygiene"? I'm intrigued by that as well.
Specifically anti-tank mines tend to be designed NOT to detonate with only a person walking on them, so maybe dogs are more useful for clearing those
Well I didn't say "just write and hope for the best" and I agree with you to some extent, but most people will read books on writing, or follow frameworks, or watch videos, and not actually write.

Writing a lot and working with an editor and reading well-written works, and reading books on writing are all good for improving your writing. But if you have to pick one, pick writing. Most people pick all the others and skip the writing part.
Personally I think the ideal system would include both. Maybe a digital system that is periodically (say once a year) transferred to tape and stored in a secure facility like the Svalbard Seed Vault.
OpenAI ChatGPT: Optimizing language models for dialogue
If your friends know of your condition, perhaps during the warmer months instead of meeting at a restaurant you can meet at a park nearby - they can grab some takeout and you can bring something that meets your needs.

It's relatively easy to find "gluten free" these days (though that varies on how actually gluten free it is) but the saturated fats are going to be harder to miss.
I'd go the other way; we really should require retesting for driver's license renewals.

New Jersey for example just enacted a "safe passing" law earlier this year in an attempt to make bicyclists and pedestrians safer. But existing drivers will never have to demonstrate that they know this because we never retest people after they get their license once.
How can one say for certain that the industrial activities of earth's occupants have any meaningful, measurable impact when we lack the complete historical picture of the planet's cycles over the millions of years?

I think, hacker news should add Layoff menu after jobs tab.

It is happening so often. Almost everyday.
It hasn't even been added back because it wasn't removed. This diff just shows the removal of a piece of text announcing it will be removed in the future. There's nothing to discuss here.

Arizona driver license don't expire until you are 65. The linked website is innaccurate.
We already have police in the US do that. Your link shows how they’ll use brute force to stop the evidence from being gathered. They’ll also play copyrighted music in the background so automatic copyright enforcement will delete an uploaded video.
"Man" is an ancient word that means both "human" and "male human" depending on context. The former usage actually predates the latter.
I was sick, couldn't leave my room, all the deliveries in my area were pointing to use the doordash app since now they were a "Proud Partner of doordash". A normally $15 pizza ended up being $40 (More than double). I paid for it because I HAD NO OTHER OPTION.

Just because the price was upfront, doesn't mean they are not terrible practices that fuck their consumers.
You are right. If you are referring to the GP of my post I agree with them - there are many growth stocks down more than crypto at the moment. That was what I was trying to say but did so poorly. I was just clarifying what I meant by thousands of % since I was thinking of options when I wrote it.

Your knowledge around opening an options account is slightly outdated. They used to have net worth requirements and more legal forms. Some time around 2020 though at the beginning of the pandemic all of this was removed. It's a few clicks now at pretty much any major investment bank such as TD Ameritrade.
Will they even allow that for REAL ID now?
Exactly, the best thing to do right now is hold on to your job. It is unclear when the economy will recover and you may be able to find a better job.
The majority of large institutions are effectively captured by the state, and to a large extent the converse is true as well. Despotic actions (censorship, surveillance, etc) performed on behalf of the state by megacorps cannot be meaningfully distinguished by despotic actions performed by the state itself under the current legal regime.
AI generated art is mostly bad and needs fixes. So artists will most probably going to start with an generated art instead of a blank canvas.
>I think intelligence and happiness are independent and both fall on a spectrum for people. Intelligent people are probably just more likely to see that as the root of their unhappiness - "it must be because I'm so smart and understand the world better than other people" where less intelligent people would blame something else. In reality I think it's more "I just don't have habits of viewing the world positively" for everyone

You kind of touch on an idea. The more intelligent someone is, the more likely they understand the world better and become more cynical or upset.

But I think it has more to do with more personal reality. For someone to become sheldon cooper, they have to sacrifice their friends and family. Therefore end up being unhappy because at the end of the day we are all social beings.

But as I said, this isn't a permanent thing.
> we hold corporations like apple responsible for following rules across the supply chain

Do we? As far as I know they still make stuff in China.
It doesn't mean they are paid until then... it just says your last day as an employee is that date, giving them time to look for other jobs.
Don't confuse it with being paid to do nothing because that isn't the case.
I'm only a data point but my experience is very different: I never had problems waking up and being immediately functional, with or without breakfast. Maybe that counts as "limited sugar"?
I recently stopped drinking caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda) but I still probably get a small amount of caffeine from decaffeinated beverages / chocolate, though maybe 2-5% of what it was before. I find though, that the quality of my sleep has improved tremendously.

If this really were the reason Huawei would never have been allowed to operate in the US to begin with and Apple would be banned too - for breaking airdrop on behalf of the CCP.

The anti huawei thing only really kicked off when huawei started dominating key telecoms markets.

When they started kicking out huawei tech they also didn't discriminate between smart (where bugs could easily hide) and dumb tech like aerials (where they couldn't), suggesting that protectionism is at least as much a motive as national security.
Any modern society is relying on digital supports for most of its administration. Estonia is just proposing more "frontends" to its citizens. Not all of them decide to use it btw (article mentions 46.9% of people use online voting)

So if we're talking about "black swan disaster scenarios" or "catastrophic computer virus", I don't see any difference between Estonia and other countries.
Big corps won't let that happen. They make too much from MIT/BSD.

Look at FAANG and other companies' policy towards the GPL and their abuse of BSD, and I think it is pretty clear what's up.
Yeah, one of the nicest things about Amtrak long-distance trains is you sit to dinner at a packed table for 4 no matter how many are in your party. Somehow that leads to conversation when sitting next to someone for ten hours on a plane doesn't.
