Good for society yes. It helps others feel more comfortable about expressing their own views when they see others doing it. Probably not that good for me personally but hey, Elon's doing it too.

The less people see others expressing themselves, the less comfortable they feel in doing so.

Elon Musk goofing has been valuable but my concern is that some people will think that only billionaires are allowed to do so. It shouldn't become a status thing that's why regular folks like me need to do it too.

IMO, anyone who isn't directly under the thumb of the big corporate oligarchy has a duty to express themselves publicly to show that it's OK.

The thing that left-wing neoliberals don't seem to understand (or maybe they are evil and actually want this) is that if the number of people who are willing to express themselves drops below a certain threshold, authorities may start literally locking us up (or worse) and then the entire world will be just like North Korea or worse.

The issue is that there's no option to use an alternative store. They're also able to extract a % from companies like Netflix just because the person happens to use an ios device. It's like if Microsoft were able to extract 30% of Netflix's subscription service because a person signed up via a Windows device, it's untenable and wrong.

This is a problem too, but at least it works if you manage to talk to a living person - even if you don't remember exactly how did you wrote something you can prove you know the answer for the security question. With 'cp359-qreor-534wej' as an answer you have no chance.
I've dipped into Twitter trending topics a couple times in the last week. Each day it was 100% Alt right, Crypto, an error (like a sentence fragment), or world cup news for top 20 topics. That looks like a disaster to me.

If Twitter was a new app just launched, I would think it was a seriously sketchy back alley and not a town square.

Customers (and developers) could move to Android. They have a vibrant market for manufacturers and less vibrant but much more flexible app market. They just don't want to. Apple makes good products but their forte has always been marketing. Users think Android is for poor people.
Are you honestly suggesting that Google and Apple are the same in this regards?
> The obvious difference being that Bitfinex seems to be run by adults.

Who like to repeatedly lie to people too.

Remember how "We're unrelated to Tether" turned into "We gave Tether a loan. See how the three signatories on the Bitfinex side of that contract are our corporate officers, Mr A, B and C, and Tether's corporate officers who signed the contract for them are Mr A, B and C? We're going to need you to ignore that."

This is a pretty unsatisfying benchmark. Can we pin the thread to a core and re-run a few times to de-noise? And how about using an actual CPU bound program? Even a significant speedup in the code will be lost in an application like this where you spend so much time in I/O.

I want Apple to maintain a consistent set of rules that app developers need to follow. I have no power to dictate my desirable terms to Facebook, Twitter, etc, but Apple does. I'm willing to give up some flexibility with my device for that. No matter what, I'm a tiny player with no power against globally powerful tech companies, but I'll take Apple's conditions vs 1) conditions set out by other companies that I trust less, and 2) having different conditions for every company I deal with.
It's literally the same thing with Unix and PCs. AOSP is completely open source just like Unix, likewise MacOS and Google Android are restricted.
LastPass is architectured so that your master password is never sent to their servers. Decryption of your vault happens locally on your device. Maybe such an attacker might get your email address (username).
As someone who forges security questions, and at the risk of playing No True Scotsman, we keep these answers in the database with our passwords
And yeah, if we lose the database I guess we're screwed, but tbh, after ample backups, the risk of the database being leaked is way higher than the risk of losing it despite replication.
But there's almost no difference between the two, politically speaking, so that doesn't mean much.

Others have addressed the ways in which A/B testing does hew quite closely to the standard of empirical observation under controlled circumstances, with which I largely agree.

Where A/B studies may go wrong in my view is a few other elements:

- A/B studies have difficulty in determining differences based on multiple interacting characteristics. In fairness, so does empirical science, and the principle of "holding all else constant" is a frequent assumption of scientific processes.

- A/B studies face an inherent self-selection / exclusion bias: the participants in this round of A/B testing are those who've not been driven off the project/product from past experiments and design changes. Given that many Web 2.0 companies eventually dance with pushing people right up to the border of tolerance, it's quite possible that A/B testing has a long-term effect of pushing those participants whose tolerance has been exceeded out of the study population entirely. I don't know how large a factor this is, though loud / rage quitters are certainly a prominent (if not necessarily large) cohort. Whether or not they're also influential, or perhaps more importantly when they become influential is another question. Again, this is a fairly common problem with any social experiment, including natural social experiments, see various forms of brain-drain and social flight.

- A/B testing tends to focus on short term changes and behaviours, which may mask longer-term outcomes. This has some overlap with the above, but also with subjects' general response to change. See the classic case of this in the Hawthorne Effect (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect>).

The upshot is that A/B testing can be valid and useful, but that experimental design, particularly in the case of social and psychological experiments, where subject feed back into the study and its methodology itself, is exceptionally thorny.

Apple is leveraging their success in the operating system space to control competition in other markets and to limit options available to consumers. This is classic anti competitive behaviour and has nothing to do with whether the OS is sold separately or is bundled with the phone. There are very few hardware advantages of iphones vs. equivalently priced (say) pixel phones, especially not ones that don't rely heavily on software support (eg cameras). So in practice we already are in the reality you imagine anyways.

A lot of people still haven't figured out that crypto is a psychological hack, not a technological or a financial one.

It's just virtual tulip bulbs and South Sea Company shares. And that's all it's ever been.

The fraud is the point. It's not an unfortunate, isolated, and regrettable accident. Crypto literally raises the cost of borrowing by making it trivially easy for fraudsters to steal it, under the cover of running a "secure exchange" or a global high profile pump and dump, or worthless NFTs, or whatever the next scam du jour is.

I have a friend who was bullied so abusively and thoroughly at a private school that his family pulled him out and moved him into public school (which turned out to be a very good school system with very little bullying, fortunately for him).

Obviously that's just one data point, but I don't think the incentive structure at a private school is what you think it is. There's a lot of incentive to keep issues quiet, and a lot of pressure to fit a certain mold.

Do they? They prevent app developers from explaining the rules to users.

> If you feel this strongly about the feature, then using a different phone

Actually, instead of that, citizens of a nation are free to vote for anti-trust, and pro competition laws that force Apple, under threat of government force, to stop engaging in certain actions.

We did it for the railway monopolies a century ago, and we can do it again, by updating our anti trust laws to new era.

It's been a century. It is about time that our existing and uncontroversial anti monopoly laws got updated.

Some laws have already been past, in the EU, for example, that do this. In the EU, because of the digital markets act, people will be able to bypass the Apple app store in less than a year.

One of the things I did with my family was disbanding the shared dinner.

I’ll make food, anyone can make their own food, and eat whenever. I do restrict unhealthy food for the kids. It’s not a total free for all.

By separating food and socializing, I hope to reduce their risk of obesity, which is not uncommon in my family. So far so good.
I didn't even have to try. I was prepared to read off the random string, and the operator went with some other piece of information from my profile instead.
It can be both and almost always is, but the point is that this incompetence storyline seems a bit too well constructed. I think this is just another con. Radio silence for a few days and then he replies to a reporter and oops—‘Never thought he would publish it. I thought I was off the record talk to a friend.’ Really? A friend you almost never talk to and is a reporter? He is too smart to be that dumb. You can’t build that much of a fortune, even if it is partially smoke and mirrors, and be that dumb. And all of the moves FTX made do not indicate someone that didn’t know what they were doing. It indicates someone that knew what they were doing but got greedy. I can believe he deluded himself into thinking he would recover the assets, in the same way Bernie Madoff always thought he would, but it doesn’t make it less criminal.
That's not an index-out-of-bounds check tho, that's just the regular loop exit condition. In a C-style for(i=0; i<42; ++i) that would be the i<42 part.

The check that can (and is) elided by the iterator here is the one that would be in the body of the loop, when you try to use i to index into the array. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't require the compiler to be smart at all.

Why did you work for him if you weren't happy with the arrangement? Surely you had other options. You're one of the most talented people in one of the most highly-paid/profitable fields, one with very few institutional barriers to advancement (licensing, accreditation, educational requirements, etc). You made a bad deal with the devil, and now you're upset about it? You were either willfully ignorant of, or did not care, about the ill effects Facebook has on the world. You just wanted to work on cool tech shit and get paid a lot of money. Why should anyone look at your experience as anything other than a cautionary tale?

"Made him out to be"? SBF is actually pretty smart. He's repeatedly demonstrated a high level of mental quickness and numeracy that is common to traders, e.g. doing Fermi approximations during live interviews. And plenty of professors' kids don't get into MIT and then Jane Street. He was privileged, sure, but he's got the raw goods, too. Which is one of many why reasons I don't buy his claims that the root problem was just "risk management". No, he just committed fraud.

But I see way too many people using Chrome on iOS or the Google App as their main web browser. If it was really about the underlying technology then nobody would download alternative web browsers, but they do, so surely people decide to use these browser apps based on their features like password support, tab design and functionality, etc.

> […] it's not reason to rejoice when thieves do scam people […]

There’s very little solace in being able to say “I told you so” when disaster strikes. If there’s anything to rejoice about, it’s that the current crypto collapse seems to be more isolated from the rest of the economy than, for example, the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

After the damage has been done, we can go in and regulate the way that crypto should have been regulated from the beginning. You can’t escape politics, and large, public collapses like this provide the political willpower to create the oversight that we already knew was necessary, to protect future generations.

> There's also another angle: the very same who are cheering on people losing all their money to a scam were the first to say: "Pay your taxes on any crypto gain you made" (so that, in the end, they get their share of these winnings too through the state's spendings)...

I don’t understand the criticism here. If I think that it is right to pay taxes, and I think that crypto is a scam, are you saying that this is somehow hypocritical? I think there might be some steps here in the argument which I don’t see or understand.

I believe in due process and the prohibition on ex-post-facto laws. If you make money manufacturing widgets, but I think widgets are morally repugnant and pass laws to ban widget manufacturing, then I don’t get to go in and retroactively confiscate your widget profits from the past five years. You pay your taxes on crypto profits, and then if it turns out that you were breaking the law, you have to face the consequences for that too. Crypto tokens have blurred the lines between securities and other types of products and it makes no sense to pass new laws and backdate them to apply to old crypto transactions.
I think the key is to actually like other people. If you don’t like them, how do you expect them to like you.
When you find people you like, ask them questions, people most love to talk about themselves. You should be interested in what they’re saying (because you like them).
People don’t like feeling that others are smarter than them so don’t try to act smart. People also love giving advice, as it makes them feel smart, so ask for advice. I’m very popular, I almost always boost people’s ego’s and I’m happy to be laughed at.
Also I believe people can often tell on a subconscious level when we don’t like ourselves, and if we don’t like ourselves why would someone else choose to like us.

The majority of countries people would actually want to work in. All of the EU, UK, countries like Australia give permanent residence to Global Talents (I've recently got this visa), also accepted by NZ. It's much easier to get a work permit for countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan (no silly several months wait/October-only start date/raffle for H-1B) etc.

I love the US, lived there for a decade and would love to go back to California. But I'd never go on H-1B and I don't see anyone sponsoring me a green card again (returned mine seven years ago). So there's that.

TL;DR: The US is not easy to (legally) immigrate to compared to many other places.

Or are you just thinking that the PR narrative of well-intentioned-but-made-some-mistakes would be better at protecting people from future scams?
> I don’t think users are going to participate in these sorts of experiments long term

You are right, not in the mainstream. What I'm talking about is what is already happening in the underground (and also hoping for some right people to join in). This is enough for that "natural selection" work. Don’t you feel the pace of those decentralized new projects every week on HN?

> if people are expected to tolerate.... I see them leaving

Maybe you're right? I said I'm "hoping". Deep inside, I believe this crisis is just a steppingstone (may be an important one ?). At the very least we have sown some seeds in mainstream social networks (like Tumblr's move to federate) and mainstream media (all the mastodon talk). We need more underground work to sort all the stuff you and others are complaining about. The next crisis we will be more ready.
Because you feel like you got good value for your 10TB DB or because you feel like you got fleeced? Not sure I understand your undertone.
