> One of the other commenters here described this app as “snitching-as-a-service” but I think it’s more insidious than that.

It isn't "snitching as a service"; it's fear as a service. The implicit premise of the app is that the world is a dangerous, terrifying place, and they're more than happy to validate that belief by (as another commenter mentioned) drip-feeding users with irrelevant notifications about emergency service dispatches in their area.
If self-control worked food companies wouldn't go to all this effort and expense.

Since they are rational market participants, we can infer that self-control doesn't work at scale.
They mention limits on acceleration, etc. I presume there's a standard table somewhere. I'm not sure if they use median survivablility or some higher quantile.
Can you be more specific as to which particular kind of laws being more lax would cause you to not use Tailscale anymore?
Generally agreed with this, and I had a similar experience.

I think overall it comes down to trying to help them build empathy by showing them that they aren't the only one that will have to interact with what they build, as they are a part of a team.

An easy way to start is, like the parent suggests, with showing "How does making it easier to read or reason about ultimately benefit you?" (e.g., not having to be asked for help by junior engineers). The downside of this is it's kind of abstract, and ultimately a selfish motivator ("what benefits me?" over "what benefits the team?"), as another commenter mentioned.

One option that might be more tangible and team-oriented is to discuss design options as a team. Hopefully in doing so they can understand the complexity in their approach as other people ask questions. If you're able to structure in such a way, one trick here is to separate the design phase from the actual implementation phase. So, whoever designs the approach isn't the one that implements it (within reason -- you could also pair program here, with the whoever designed it as a reviewer and not the primary).

Some of this is also about them realizing what is obvious to them is not obvious to others. One tell here is if they use "why don't you just..." a lot when asked questions.

One phrase I use a lot on my team is "don't be a hero". Heroics in a team setting (willingness to write overly complex features, take on indefinite maintenance of code they wrote so others don't have to reason with it, etc.) are generally detrimental to the team overall. If they find themselves having the need to "carry the team" a lot, you could direct some of their energy/problem solving towards how they could help up-level the team overall or fix team processes.

Anyway, a bit of a ramble, but that's my 2 cents. YMMV.
Passing regulation assumes we actually know what’s best for everyone.

I lost 80 pounds eating Johnsonville Beddar Cheddar Sausages and sauerkraut every day for six months, definitely something that’s “too fatty”.

In their defense, Metal predates Vulkan by a couple of years and I would say that Metal jump started the new generation of GPU APIs.

Honestly, that's just a matter of what you're used to. All my life I used Celsius, and even the dumbest of the dumb around me would always have a pretty good idea about how hot or cold a day was based on the temperature.

It's ridiculous how much wages have stagnated here in Germany even with sky high energy prices and inflation. I feel like I am the only one who asks for "more" and hence in many places just after or during HR interview they would flat out reject me. I have had few interviews where HR said I am out of their budget. With 10 years of experience asking anything near 100K makes you look like "greedy" in their eyes.
JSON is good because it doesn't let you do stupid things like writing programming languages in it.
> ..and the CEO doesn't get to choose "less growth" with investors breathing down their necks.

Investors in private and public businesses demand growth, so naturally executives will optimize for that. I'm currently at a Series B company that has a product, growing customer base, strong revenue, etc. and we're starting the Series C process. We've crafted a plan for responsible organic growth by investing in efficiency and growing lines of business with a lower cost to serve, but even in this environment, a significant number of investors are still looking for a "pump in the cash and grow fast" story.

This is interesting to me; I carved a large model of California elevation using Fusion 360 and an X-Carve. It definitely pushed the limits of Fusion 360, the final model that I CAMmed was 5M (million!) facets and 2.8M vertices and it's just barely usable (rendering, operations, etc all take ~minutes after a change).
Are you saying I can replace F360 with Aspire and it will just do STL meshes faster? Good to know.
Certainly not. https://paperswithcode.com/task/optical-character-recognitio...
You're saying something I don't think you intend - on a societal level America is being burdened with healthcare costs that are spiraling out of control... the failed society is the one that has failed to reasonably regulate food and is now burdened with extreme obesity epidemics and nutritional deficiencies.

It's easy to say "Just eat better" when you're wealthy but the working poor in America don't have any great options outside of switching to base staple foods like rice and beans... and that's difficult to do when good seeming fast foods are offered in abundance.

On a societal level "evolution" seems to be pretty clearly indicating that America was wrong on this one.
This is a form of the argument "we must protect people from themselves".

Look, there are a lot of religions out there that push feelings, take advantage of people and encourage false beliefs. We should help citizens save their energy for their own lives and regulate Buddhism as the required state religion. That way citizens don't have to navigate all these religions.

Exactly!
Conclusion: Highly processed foods (HPFs) can meet the criteria to be labeled as addictive substances using the standards set for tobacco products. The addictive potential of HPFs may be a key factor contributing to the high public health costs associated with a food environment dominated by cheap, accessible and heavily marketed HPFs.

That's interesting. I guess I'd agree, Highly processed foods (HPFs) CAN meet the criteria, especially for some people more than others, but it does seem to make sense.

Or, it self selects out people who would cost more money in support to the bank. If you’re in their time zone (and awake when they are), the bank could save money by only needing to have support available at certain times.

Similarly, they may not want to have you in their community. So, the community they form might be smaller, but more aligned with what they want.

They are definitely reducing their pool of customers, but maybe they are still attracting the customers they want. Why not let the market decide if they can find enough customers with this approach.

Honestly, the banks I use in the US often do something similar. It’s not as bad as this, and only on their online banking site, not their marketing site. They have maintenance windows late at night (in their time zone), and don’t allow logins during that time. It’s not always every night, but it’s often enough that I’ve noticed (at 3-4am).
that's the same for me. I tend to have "two" windows open at most times and that works well for me on my 15" laptop (ancient by most HN standards). I've looked at the ultrawide and 4:3 screens and I'm good with the current "standard" form factor when I can't get to my 3 monitor setup at home.
Well like it or not that's how society works. Name me a community that isn't a <large world city> where things operate 24/7. It annoys me too, but when 97% of everyone observes a normal sleep schedule, who's even around to staff and support the nightlife? Why should my hours be forced upon anybody else?

> While our revenue has grown by five times since the start of the pandemic, our costs have grown by even more as we geared up for a continued rate of growth that now looks unlikely. Additionally, so much of our organization was built for a paradigm of rapid growth, in terms of the roles, ratios, and structures we’ve put in place.
Unlikely. The human genome comprises only billions of bits, much of which is low-information repetition. The amount of information sensed over a lifetime is vastly greater. To sense less than a billion bits over a 30-year development period would imply less than one bit per second. We clearly perceive more than one bit per second. For this reason, it seems likely that more information comes from learning post-birth than is pre-conditioned by evolution pre-birth. (Though of course post-birth learning cannot take place without the fantastic foundation set by evolution.)

Years ago I switched to a diet free of processed foods (with an exception for hot sauces and other condiments), which means cooking everything yourself starting with basic ingredients. It seems to have had a lot of positive effects. It's nice to see some scientific confirmation (although mostly my original motivation was avoiding preservatives and weird additives like 'dough conditioner', 'processed soy protein', 'high-fructose corn syrup', etc.):

> "Experts like DiFeliceantonio believe we should make the distinction between highly processed foods and those made from scratch. Being aware of those differences is the first step in avoiding a long list of diet-related health issues..."

> "Highly processed foods can qualify as clinically addictive, both Gearhardt and DiFeliceantonio argue. According to what’s known as the rate hypothesis, the faster something affects your brain, the more addictive that substance will be. Many processed foods are essentially pre-digested to maximize the speed of dopamine release..."

Flooding the body with sugars also messes up the insulin response, leading to the development of type II diabetes over time. Eating complex carbohydrates that are slowly broken down to sugar and fed to the muscles/brain cells for energy, or stored as glycogen in the liver, appears to greatly reduce the chances of that outcome.

I generally thought that neurotransmitter de-sensitization at the cellular level wasn't involved with food choices, and was limited to alcohol/drug use. Interesting to see that's not true.

Incidentally this diet, which tends to be fairly low-fat/mid-protein but higher in carbs from roots/leafy greens/fruit-veg, could use a catchy name. When people ask I call it 'the peasant diet' but maybe 'the farmer's diet' is better?

I don't use apps like this, because they don't do the one thing which I want them to tell me: why were three police cars boxing in a vehicle at the end of my dead-end street at 3AM? Likewise, the City has an electrical outage map which clears the moment the power is restored. Was my power out? Should I check my freezer? Best I've got are the 12 o'clock flashers, the battery backup clocks which sync to line frequency, and the logs from the systems which aren't connected to the UPS. This is politics.

To the people who live in areas with a lot of crime: If there are shootings, how many random bullet holes have you found? If it's general demeanor, how many condoms, sharps, cars without plates, cars missing wheels, cars with broken windows and does it vary with the time of day or day of week (or month)?

It's similar to the discipline I exercised when doing a lot of alpine scrambling, especially at the bottom of cliffs: Fresh scars on the rocks? Do any of the trees look "shot up"? Maybe not the place to stop for lunch.

You’re getting downvoted which to me shows just how dangerous the “pass regulations” crowd actually is.

Modern advice about nutrition is confusing and muddled and contradictory, and if you lose 100 pounds eating only beef and eggs and that’s what’s working, to hell with all the people who want to put some tax on that, because that is CERTAINLY not going to be what the regulations advocate for eating.

FAA regulations, more so than nearly anything else regulated in the US, are written in blood. They are not written out of government corruption. Many many many hundreds of people have died in airplane accidents since airplanes were invented, and the reason why your average person can board a commercial flight and act like they just got on the bus (with a /better/ risk profile than a bus on public roads) is exactly due to these regulations. The FAA has and continues to lead the entire world in how to do reasonable and meaningful air traffic regulation.
Do: Have the government require transparency and safety of producers of goods (especially food).

Do not: Dictate or attempt to control what food consumers choose.

Exceptions: Tobacco, carcinogens, hallucinogens, narcotic substances, poisons... See "safety"

The video of the accident[1] clearly shows the Tesla start hitting its brakes 4 seconds in, the car that eventually rearends it is a few car lengths behind and in the left lane and hits its own brakes less than a second later and the accident occurs less than 4 seconds later.

Taking into account reaction times, it takes approximately 5-6 seconds to bring a car going 60mph to a complete stop[2][3]
The accident was completely unavoidable for the car that rearends the Tesla because the Tesla made an extremely dangerous maneuver

Apples don't contribute much to a healthy diet: they're sweet, acidic enough to damage tooth enamel, and packed with fructose. You'd be much better off leaving fruit out of your diet and occasionally treating yourself to a little bit of brown rice or raw broccoli in between your meals of beans and potatoes.

https://fairarbitrationnow.org/ten-reasons-why-arbitration-s...

Ten Reasons to Ban Arbitration

1) You cannot hold companies accountable. Forced arbitration allows companies to play by their own rules and escape accountability when they harm consumers and employees.

2) You cannot sue for discrimination, harassment, abuse, retaliation, or wrongful termination.

3) Arbitrators are not required to follow the law.

4) You cannot sue for negligence, defective products, or scams.

5) Legal recourse is not allowed.

6) You cannot appeal an arbitration decision.

7) Arbitration is a private system without an impartial judge.

8) There are no juries in arbitration.

9) There is no public review to determine whether the arbitrator got it right.

10) Forced arbitration prohibits class action lawsuits, an important way for consumers and employees to band together to fight injustices.
I did not interpret their comment that way. That would be unreasonable, however their comment included mention of physical break distance, so I'm pretty certain they didn't mean actual human response time and instead how long it takes for a human to respond and slow the car, which is the metric of interest here. Even for a robot with millisecond response times, you will be breaking in the multiples of seconds, not instantaneously. Observation "reaction time" really is completely irrelevant here.
> I don't know about your neighborhood, but when I check Citizen real events get filled with hundreds of verifications, comments, and videos. It's not a case of Citizen trying to invent things that aren't there, sowing some fake sense of hazard.

Hey, so they do manage to fulfill their stated aims in your neighborhood. Pretty cool. Looking in my own I still see multiple weeks old "shots fired" that my city determined were kids letting off firecrackers. Judging by other comments on this post the, uh, flexible understanding of truth Citizen has is the default, absent a very active-on-Citizen neighborhood.

> I don't know what the mechanism of community awareness is supposed to be, except Citizen? That is the community awareness, as people are posting and verifying there.

For me, personally, I'm on friendly terms with neighbors I meet on walks, plus the ones that live in proximity to me. The news gets shared as it always has done. I don't live in a small town either.

> Citizen is plugged directly into community emergency services -- that's the police. And I just don't see how any app is going to be "run by the community as a public good". That makes as much sense to me as saying people shouldn't use Gmail, but an email app run by the community as a public good. It's not scalable or viable.

Why not? If Citizen is working in your community, as you say, then it's already piggy-backing off a considerable amount of free effort that you all do to augment the data it gets for free from your community. What's the point of a for-profit middleman here? I sure can't go to a public meeting and complain to the city council that Citizen is misfiling firecrackers, although I can do that for any misfiled data in my PD/FD's transparency website. And have done.

Government services generally aren't 'viable' in the sense of turning a profit anyway, we just all agree to pay into the kitty to fund stuff we more or less get utility out of. (Ignoring that Citizen itself doesn't seem to be viable.) I'm not really sure what your concern about scaling is, but I will note that governments all over, small and large, manage to provide digital services to their constituencies.
I come from a lower middle class family. I went to public school. My parents paid for half of my college, I did the other half. These days anyone can get a loan for the full ride. My parents financed my other endeavors with exactly $0. I'm bald, not tall and nobody has ever called me handsome.

Starbucks offers to pay full college tuition for their employees.

I suspect the salient difference with me is I see opportunity everywhere in America, where others do not. All I'm doing here is pointing out that opportunity.

Note that the millions who try to sweep over the border into America seem to see that opportunity, too.
