I have yet to be convinced McLuhan had anything to add to the discussion.
i used to run a session at foo camp called “that sucked” back in the day. people would share stories, and i’d try to do a root cause analysis and tally all the problems. often the root cause leaders were “databases”, “unicode” and “that guy”

a quick article i wrote at the time: http://joshua.schachter.org/2006/08/that-sucked

and here’s someone else’s recollection of one, starring PG. https://scottberkun.com/2006/report-from-foo-camp-06-foocamp...
"I take full responsibility" /s
These are the same sort of arguments that surrounded ActiveX and IE, back in the day. When $LARGE_CORPORATION is stuck on Chrome years after they would like to be (and other fallout), it will have been entirely predictable. Good on you for continuing to report issues you see to FF, but to your final point, if everyone is going to a bad place, no, you do not have to go.
What you are describing is a smart, but very junior engineer. As smart engineers gain experience they stop doing this sort of thing.
I know people won't like to hear this, but I don't think Citizen is attempting to promote general anxiety as a means to get a profit. I think that, coincidentally, promoting general anxiety works (whether or not they even recognize this, which perhaps a laid off insider could speak to), and therefore the organization performs actions that take advantage of this.

It's like the adage, "If it bleeds, it leads." Granted, I think news organizations recognized at some point that these types of stories get more eyeballs (hence the adage), therefore they do it intentionally for more advertising revenue. But I don't see any type of organization specifically viewing "general anxiety" as the goal. It so happens that people enjoy gawking at this kind of thing, regardless of what emotion it causes.

That said, I'm not actually a fan of Citizen nor a fan of my local police force. I would prefer having unbiased and effective police who can be held accountable when they overstep their boundaries, and it seems like this is an impossible ask through both the public and private sector.

I am not a great fan of agile and people that argue strongly for it. I like tools that encourage critical thinking and design development docs, well defined prototypes, and working on customer requirements docs. I think Agile in it's most naive form makes those things harder than they need to be, but of course you can fit good practice into almost any framework.

I am though a big fan of frequent checkpoints, and checking in with the 'big engineering' / 'refactor everything' people before they get too carried away with code only tangentially related to the business case. Agile provides a really good 'excuse' to do the check in, demo code, and a time to reflect if what the developer has is good enough to hit the aforementioned customer requirements.

That's a bit optimistic isn't it?
If your home is sealed tight, then you should consider either an ERV or HRV system as well, depending on the humidity of your environment.

They blow air out of your house and replace it with fresh air from outside, which a fan could do, but they include a heat (and moisture, in the case of ERVs) exchanging plenum so that you don't lose all of the energy that you put into conditioning the air in your house.

They're a little spendy in the $1,000 range, but if your issue is the inside air is too humid and moisture is building up on the walls and windows, it's a good system to use for comfort.

You can also get a whole house humidifier / dehumidifier set for roughly the same price, but that doesn't provide fresh air for your house so I would only suggest that if your air cannot maintain the 30-50% humidity levels that are most comfortable for you with the ERV/HRV system.
This feels like somewhat unfortunate timing, with AMD's 7000 series mobile CPUs just around the corner.

The Fediverse has a much smaller reach than mainstream social networks. Your target audience might not be on it.

Definitely a possibility. Where we ended up landing is that Mastodon is culturally short form. From prior experience just syndicating into a short form ecosystem is kind of lame even if the ActivityPub protocol supports it. So if we have Medium authors on this part of the fediverse then we want to encourage them to be fully there.

The medium-length fediverse, i.e. blogs and articles, is still emerging and for us is also a much more complicated product question. But definitely open to it.

this is quite cynical and disingenuous, given birth rates are highest among low income demographics.
A "simple query". The tech "looks ancient". You're "willing to bet" things. And yet you speak so confidently and derisively about this outage.

It must be nice to sit behind your keyboard and just have all of the answers all day long! Do you have any tips for how to be so omniscient?
By panic fetish tool I mean something of marginal utility — not no utility, mind — that panics the afflicted into a mailable state. So, for Citizen, that’s meant to make you pay them money. For, say, fascist politics that’s meant to make you rely on the comfort provided by Dear Leader. I don’t think it’s clear at all that HN follows the same model. For one the website is free and if they’re trying to make anything happen it’s promote their VC fund, which strikes me as benign. Oh, maybe lisp too in the old days. Additionally, being aware that the utopian vaguely libertarian mindset around tech — everything is better with computers, especially if you can make money at it — is false is not a bad thing. Personally I don’t feel at all powerless to counter that trend, that mindless Utopianism, or to play my part with my neighbors and community in countering it, I should say, since I’m just one person.
When I look back on my life, my most meaningful memories are not the ones I've made on someone else's payroll. "Successful" doesn't have to mean "worth a lot of money".

Naive article from the Economist. Hostile de-globalisation is necessary for preservation of US supremacy, in exactly the same way hostile globalisation was necessary for extending it in the first place. We should not forget that WW2 was a clear net benefit to the US, whereas all of its pre-war competitors (mainly UK, France) had their wealth and power attrited away by the conflict. Of course millions died during the conflict, but that was no concern to the winners, as they killed millions more in later wars in order preserve the fruits of victory.

Today's Washington consensus - US political elites, along with the national security state and think tank / media amplifiers - embrace conflict and I suspect are confident that the third world war will deliver similar benefits to the second. They are probably right
Yeah, agree.

You should give HBO's Watchmen a try nonetheless. It's set a few decades after the story of the graphic novel, basically continuing the path of "alternate history", (not so much the path of the original characters)
There is a far, far bigger problem than WhatsApp here, starting with the fact that the article reports a recent collision with fatailities.

This is not a system the size of the US so there's no need for "dark territory" [1] - this is a metro system! Best practice would be to have some kind of block-based system where only one train can occupy a block at a time, and signals control this (if you've ever played factorio, you know what I mean).

It seems that what happened is they tried to implement an automatic "moving block" system where trains would keep each other safe, but when that fails, they're back to no block at all, and relying on WhatsApp for SAFETY-CRITICAL communication. There is only one way this can possibly end.

Europe has been trying to design moving block as part of ETCS "level 3" and it turns out that's really hard to do to the usual safety standards. The only place I know of that does this in production is the Wuppertal overhead monorail (which is worth a visit, by the way).

Public markets at least have some degree of liquidity. You can turn that paper into cash if you wanted to.
Mine is cheaper to run than my 97% efficiency gas furnace down to 5 degrees F.
12 weeks minimum severance (with paid healthcare), no cliff on vesting, 3 years to exercise, still eligible for the startup investment. Those sound like fairly generous terms to me.
If you are looking at air to water heat pumps you will certainly be looking at much more expensive installs. Mini splits are way cheaper and don't require hooking up to the gas hot water system which can simply be retired to backup heat source.

And yeah, cooling is not a thing in the UK, my point is folks are definitely going to be looking toward that given the summers people have been having, increase heating costs will make mini splits a double win. No brainer to me and I bet mini splits will be in limited supply this summer in Europe.
Takes about 8 to 10 car lengths for an average car to stop from 60 mph, from the moment the brakes are activated fully. A fast human reaction time would be 150ms, but that's just to react, not to get the foot onto the brake. So add another 3 car lengths.

There were not 11-13 car lengths between the car in the left lane and the Tesla when it brake checked them.

Generalizing about Americans is tiresome, by the way. It makes you look petty and ignorant. Which might be true, but on the off chance you didn't intend to come across that way...
Chickens aren't the only birds that carry bird flu.
Do heat pumps not just work in an "on/off" fashion that shut off when the thermostat say "ok, that's enough"? I know that modern forced air natural gas furnaces are a little smarter and will have stages to balance for noise, but they are really just "on" or "off", pushing much hotter than ambient air around until the rooms settle to the desired temperature.
> Countries like France force their colonies (former) in Africa to supply raw materials (like chocolate or vanilla) for cheap, and make billions every year by processing it and selling finished goods

Cute theory, unsupported by facts. Chocolate for instance is a simple supply chain problem: shipping cocoa to Europe is cheaper than shipping milk to Africa and then shipping chocolate back to Europe.

Where possible - nuts for example, transformation increasingly takes place locally. The bottleneck isn't some obscure international conspiracy but investor's willingness to take the country risk and establish trust relationships.

This app was infuriating. Tried it for a few weeks living in a less than ideal neighborhood. Day one I get a notification of a fire or something 5 miles away. Hardly useful, but I get it. Day two there's a robbery! Scary, but when you click the notification you see that it happened in a city about 40 miles away. After a week or so it becomes clear that the app will notify you every night with anything it can, stretching the distance as it sees fit to be able to justify the notification. Live in a decently sized metro area? Prepare to get hundreds of notifications all for stuff not happening anywhere actually near you.
Because now people like me who didn't care about organic or not are buying any eggs available. In our store all the vegan substitutes were sold out too (never seen that before). We ended up buying a carton of egg whites, which was all that was left.

But then we went back the next day and they had a few dozen eggs.
Using the word "snitch" is itself an argument. It is used to paint someone who reports crimes as bad. Now, some laws are perhaps bad, but that would of course be on a case by case basis. Describing the app and it's users as a whole as "snitching" is certainly an argument. All this said, I just wanted GP to explain what exactly they meant.

Since everyone seems to throwing their favorite format into the ring (), I will too: EDN [0]

* no enclosing element (i.e., can be streamed)

* maps, lists, even sets

* tags (like "Person". UUIDs and timestamps are built-in tags)

* floating point numbers

* integers

* comments

* UTF-8

* true booleans

* no need to worry about too many or too few commas in the right or wrong place

Implementations in almost every language under the sun [1].

The format is simple enough that it's easy to implement, verify, and test. No strange string interpretation craziness (see YAML and "Norway problem"), no ambiguity between FP and integers (see JSON), comments. And if your editor has rainbow parenthesis support, reading is actually a pleasant experience.

Yawn, it's so easy to disprove, it's not even fun.

Crops produced in Africa like crops produced anywhere else are now traded on the international market. France actually imports very little from its former colonies. A casual glance at the world factbook will show you it's not a major trade partner of any of them.

The idea it makes billions from it is simply preposterous. Just check the composition of France's GDP if you don't believe me. It will probably take less time than it took you to write your original comment.
It's just such a nuanced topic people have a really hard time reasoning about it. For example, Drinking Alcohol every day clearly increases your chances of developing disease.

Drinking zero Alcohol actually decreases the likely hood of you living to a ripe old age.

Is it that Alcohol is healthy in small doses? Probably not. Perhaps people who drink a glass of wine once or twice a month have a less stressful life than someone who never drinks.

That's why nutrition studies are so hard to be done right. You have to literally watch them consume it and you need a control group and it needs to take place over years.

There are books written about Bluezones that say eating meat shortens your life yet HongKong has the both the highest life expectancy and the highest per person meat consumption in the world.

You really have to take every single claim and study with a big giant grain of salt and a whole lot of skepticism.

Ok, since you strawmanned me against bread (which has also increased significantly, at least 5% YOY) , let's consider this: if nobody could afford anything but Doritos, and the price of Doritos went from $4 to $3, then the average basket of goods would go decrease in price >20%. It's a great model if you want to hide the deteriorating quality of life behind effectively meaningless stats. What I don't understand is why so many people feel compelled to defend it so vigorously.
I'm looking into paramotoring or potentially gliding.
I agree. GDP per capita is inversely correlated with fertility rate, so it looks like the richer people are the less likely they are to have children.
Yup it's the same situation in East Africa. You can't do business without it.

Maybe the majority of the citizens wants to live in a society that is kinder to animals? (That said citizens might not fully appreciate the knock on effects that will have on costs is a separate question. Do people actually want to be kinder to animals if it means eggs cost twice as much?)
It's certainly not healthy to be perusing Citizen throughout the day, but it's also certainly not "panic fetish".

I live in a neighborhood that has a certain amount of crime, and Citizen is super valuable to know what's going on, purely from a safety perspective. You ask if I can personally do anything about the "danger" all around me? Yes, I can make sure as hell to avoid certain blocks for a couple hours. And I can find out whether the sirens right now are because of a fire (fine to go for a walk) or because of exchanged gunfire (not).

I just looked it up according to official stats -- 568 shootings in my neighborhood since 2015, resulting in 102 deaths. Maybe you live somewhere where you consider this "panic fetish", but people in some areas don't have that luxury.

It's just basic neighborhood safety awareness of where not to walk.
Yes, the half-and-half I use in coffee is regularly out of stock at my local grocery.

> No, I'm blaming Republicans for blocking initiatives that might actually help the birth rate. Including things like better funded public education and funding for childcare

There’s pretty good evidence that weak public social safety nets, particularly around old age, disability, etc., contribute to higher birthrates, [0] so you should be applauding the Republicans and their attacks on Social Security and Medicare, if that is your highest concern.

[0] speculation is because in the absence of state support, family are your social safety net, and particularly younger family members.

No. That's just the modern web. If a person needs to use the modern web, he/she needs to use a browser. If he/she needs to use a browser, it is almost always going to be Chrome (or something built on Chrome). Chrome is heavy on Linux, BSD, and macOS as are many of the pages it loads. The web can spin up fans on Intel, AMD, and ARM when I am running NetBSD, Slackware, or Intel Clear Linux.
"U" class chips won't be in laptops on the shelves until this summer, if previous mobile CPU releases are good indicators.

I love people saying its a waste and too much power blahblah.

It isn't going to pull /320w/ all the time. It will periodically, under certain loads, briefly.

My i9-13900K happily slams into 6.4ghz across multiple cores when doing things. And power usage rarely actually hits ~230w doing that. I only ever see absurd power usage under really heavy work loads. Most of the time, itll hit its peaks on a couple of cores when I am doing something and thats that. I would rather slightly higher peak-y power usage for a more performance.

I always thought for a superb, tasty package of nutrition, eggs were ridiculously cheap. Now that more producers are getting into the free-range business, prices have naturally (no pun intended) risen. However, the recent bird-flu epidemic (maybe it's even a pandemic at this point) has resulted in large chicken culls and driven prices up. There's nary an egg case to be seen at Costco, a thing I haven't witnessed in 25 years.

I am curious about that statement. Feeding chickens store bought food that is. I grew up with chickens being the garbage disposal. They will eat anything and everything. They are the cheapest animal to raise for food. (Except maybe cattle on the old west when you could parasite off the public land.)

The argument against backyard chickens would be health considerations i'd say, not cost. Curious.
