I agree that the companies themselves might be loathe to participate, except that they have published public academic papers, and are therefore publicly responsible at least for the content of those papers. But I had in mind more of an external expert panel of folks who haven't been directly involved, like academic NLP experts, maybe philosophers/sociologists of technology?
I saw most of this play out on Mastadon, and OP was absolutely blasted for even daring to try something like this. The response was completely inappropriate, and the level of hate was excessive when OP was very clear from the start that they were trying to find a “good” way to do this and had zero ill intent.

>* Look at how much FB's revenue decreased when it's consumer tracking efforts were given the smallest roadblock on iOS.

How much did it drop? By "smallest roadblock on iOS", I'm assuming you mean app tracking transparency, which was implemented in ios 14.5 (released April 26, 2021). According to this graph[1], facebook revenue for Q2 2021 was up from last quarter.

It's protection against mistakes where you've accidentally granted more access than was intended.

For instance, if someone does a wildcard resource "acme-prod-widget-*" for a new policy, but forgets that widget also has (say) a customer-pii bucket, too.

Well, if acme-prod-widget-customer-pii is encrypted with a customer-pii specific KMS key, then there's no accidental leak of that data.
Itanium was a dead platform on launch. When HP didn't port HPUX to x86_64, it decided HPUX was dead... They do occasionally put out OS updates for those unlucky to have bought into it, but if your software can run on another OS, I can't really think of another reason to keep the hardware around.
Interestingly, I posted this link on Hacker News with the exact same title yesterday, and no one found interest in it. I don’t post much on here. I guess timing has more of an effect here than I realized. (I say this with curiosity and no discredit to the current poster.)

I don’t see that as a bad thing personally. But I’ve 100% avoided watching some series that I know have been canceled.

Calling this tech debt will get you nowhere. Instead you could just explain the alternatives: what happens if we do this, what happens if we don't? If we do <X> productivity will increase by <Y> so that users will experience <Z>. Much clearer than simply saying "tech debt > refactor".

Keep in mind Cuba is free to trade with 192+ countries all around the world. Easy to blame everything on the embargo, harder to take a long hard look at the systemic corruption, incompetence, generalized theft and human rights violations plaguing the country.

I've had this feeling for a while now as well. I still enjoy HN, and try to think of commenting and participation more as just talking to one person rather than trying to score points from the community. That's what eventually destroys these for us, everyone trying to win popularity contests.

At least in HN we still have some interesting people left.
I keep hearing people say this but I don't have the same problem. 75% of my Twitter feed is tech and 25% is business-related and a few random odds & ends. Occasionally new "recommendations" show up and if they're not interesting, I mute/block them.

I've never gone out of my way to do any kind of filtering besides that.
Hadn’t seen that - thanks for the link to the previous discussion!
It isn't just you.

I work on systems software - kernel, daemons, networking, debuggers, machine language disassembly - so I'm used to looking at things which other people say are "hard".

We have the same story in Norway. Apparently Nikita Khrusjtsjov visited then prime minister Einar Gerhardsen in his small and modest housing association apartment in 1964 and subsequently demanded to know where Gerhardsen REALLY lived, cause he couldn't imagine the prime minister living in a normal apartment in a normal apartment building. But he did and lived in the same apartment until his death in 1987.

Isn’t the real difference the relative cost of repair? The post above yours at the time of this comment cites that battery replacement costs more than that of a new vehicle. It would be hard to find that in an ICE car (assuming it’s not an exotic or rare model).

I think it's based on your birthday. If you have not set a birth date (or set one that makes you < 18 in $CURRENT_YEAR) then you will not see NSFW content.

I'm not sure if it defaults to opting into NSFW content based on your birthday. That seems like a poor choice of behavior. It's possible this only recently became an issue with the introduction of the "for you" tab recommending content with little to no filter.

I just had to talk with a couple more junior people on my team about this.

We're having difficulty on people wheel spinning and taking too long to reach out when there's problems but it's not because they can't but there's a sense you develop as you gain more experience on what that "red line" is when you need to reach out.

It's a combination of experience with the task (language, codebase, etc), agile point values (or just "level of effort") and how easy it is to approach those with the answers. As they're continuing to do work, evaluate where the time you've currently spent matches up to each of those three things. If you've hit that red line, time to start sounding alarm bells (relatively).

It really is a learned skill and takes time, juniors shouldn't feel bad and seniors/leads shouldn't make them feel bad. Seniors/leads should also be planning for learning this skill into their estimates to stakeholders.
Assuming you’re living in a country with decent consumer rights laws, I’d return the device to the seller. It’s no longer fit for purpose.
I don’t anything is as binary as that no. I do think that there’s a difference between being ready for a change and beating yourself up about your shortcomings.

This part means that natural immunity outperforms vaccine immunity in protecting against reinfection and spread of COVID-19 over time.

"
Discussion

Our study shows that the mRNA-containing LNP vaccines BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 induce high anti-S1 IgG and IgA levels in the blood as well as in the saliva, but these Ig levels steadily decrease over time and approach levels that are comparable to the long-term levels induced by two immunizations with the adenovirus-based vaccine AZD1222. In the long run, such pronounced anti-S1 IgG and (s)IgA reductions in the saliva likely reflect the declining protection against infection and from spreading in the respiratory tract of naïve individuals (16, 17). On the other hand, the observed stronger anti-S1 (s)IgA response in the saliva of previously infected vaccinees – likely generated by re-activation of infection-induced local (s)IgA+ memory B cells – might explain their recently described higher protection from infection and spreading
"

These sections indicate that natural immunity is more effective at preventing infection and spread of COVID-19 than vaccines.

"In summary, the data indicate that the high initial mRNA vaccine-induced anti-S1 IgG(1) and IgA responses decrease over time and approach levels induced with the adenovirus-based vaccine up to day 270. Higher and more stable anti-S1 (s)IgA levels in the saliva of pre-infected vaccinees might explain their higher protection from infection and spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Intriguingly, the mRNA vaccines, and in particular the mRNA-1273 vaccine, induced increasing long-term anti-S1 serum IgG4 levels in naïve individuals with hitherto unclear influences on the fight against the pathogen. Naïve individuals vaccinated with the adenovirus-based vaccine did not show such long-term anti-S1 IgG4 response at least after two vaccinations until day 270.

As an engineer, I'd divide history into pre-1830 and post-1830. In 1830, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway opened. There were railroads before then, but they were experimental and niche systems. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first real inter-city railway. All steam locomotives, no horses. Double track. Passengers and freight. Tickets and timetables. That was the moment the Industrial Revolution got out of beta.

Suddenly change sped up. Way up. For centuries before 1830, life looked about the same.
Most people never traveled further than 50 miles from where they were born.
Then, over the course of a lifetime, everything changed.

What's an example that's not explicit or clear enough?

I think `p:empty { }` is a perfectly clear syntax. As the article says it's already a conditional statement - just imagine an invisible `if` in front of every selector or media query.

CSS is not a procedural language, so I think that if statements could be less clear about how rules are applied.

I read it as: Ducts are better but not so much that it's worth tearing everything apart to install them. If you don't already have ducts, you should definitely use a ductless system. If you do have them, you get some other benefits.
Bananas particularly are a case where this is blindingly obvious.
I'm kind of disappointed that there's no mention of cancer in the article. The rise of cancer (presumably due to increased nutrient availability following agriculture?) could be a reason why the immune system may have started skewing towards autoimmunity.

In fact, several microbes have been found to have anti-cancer properties - either directly of by stimulating the immune system. So maybe success in tackling pathogens led to a deficit in combatting the enemy within.

Otherwise, it's not exactly clear why the ability to fight off pathogens (foreign bodies) would necessarily lead to an increase in autoimmunity (attacking your own cells).
Inflation and wage stagnation is not loss of wealth.

Wealth is an amount. Income is a flow. These have different units.

Most people have debt - inflation transfers value from lenders to borrowers, so tons of people with car loans and college loans and mortgages are better off as inflation lowers the effective amount they owe.

Wages have increased significantly as inflation rose.

And no matter how you slice it real incomes have increased vastly over the past 40 years, e.g., https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N
While plausible on paper, it's not practical unless they jam an order of magnitude or two more compute into the devices. To get reasonable accuracy (i.e., enough to be able to use for profit) from any casual speech, the current models run far from realtime on a modern MacBook. You're not going to squeeze reasonable accuracy from the tiny processor on the devices in the world today, even if you record and process async as a way to hide from people inspecting traffic.

Edit: it's worth noting that this dramatically increases the cost of the device. They'd need to be able to see a way to recoup those costs if they eat the additional hardware cost. But that's silly for a company that's literally in the business of cloud computing and where the goal of the hardware is to hide what you're doing.

The primary quality of cryptocurrencies is that they reveal how little most people know about why money has value.

Dropping in a server like another client might be what they did in HD/DE remakes to allow the game to continue without a player host present. It doesn't help with cheating, cause other players are already interested in enforcing the rules. And doesn't help with lag ofc.

Yes, the remakes should've had new netcode. They had full freedom to redo it, no legacy compatibility to deal with. Maybe they wanted to totally emulate the old experience, but ya know, I can just play the old game. DE at least seems to be working out the kinks better; HD was a total mess even after years of patching.
The lack of platform control creates a paradox where the more useful the extension you make, the more you're beholden to dance to somebody else's tune, ad infinitum, in order to retain the advantage you've created. Unpredictability is at the heart of it. You can invest x $/time, and not know if what you've created is going to stand for 1 year, or 10.

On the gripping hand, when the platforms in question are the dominant platforms of, err, all computing in this era, then the above described issue tends to be a minor one, in context, for many applications.

In the JVM ecosystem you get the version your immediate dependency was built/released against, transitive dependencies are never silently upgraded (though if you want to upgrade then it's one command). IME that's a much better default; it does mean that when a security issue is found in a low-level library you get everyone doing a bunch of releases that just bump their dependencies, but the consistent behaviour is very much worth it.
One after a yoga class I got ride home with the teacher. I didn't know him well, but I knew he was also studying to be a chaplain. He seemed shaken.

He shared that earlier that day he had visited a nursing home to hear the story of an older woman. Just listen. She told him her story and then, just died. He had this strong sense that she was just waiting to tell her story before she let go.

I wasn't impacted like he was, but like the taxi ride this carpool created an intimate space to share a personal story. It's been a couple decades and I have not forgotten this one.
If you account for the electric generation and distribution losses, you should do the same for gas.

"It does cost more to run an appliance than to heat with gas."

That's highly dependent on the appliances involved and the price you pay for each fuel. For me, a heat pump is much cheaper to run. You really need to calculate it for each individual situation.

I won't abide by your requirements (cash in a van / $100m property), because those weren't my initial arguments.

Money fraud through property happens. Money fraud through luxury property happens. It happens. It's rife (In the UK, especially London). Maybe the US is ahead of the curve, but I remain skeptical.

I didn't ask for you to give examples of how money fraud through property could happen, I asked for you to state the simplest explanation for all these empty luxury properties existing, that isn't explained through fraud. Who is buying them? It's corruption!
In 1989, I was a child growing up on the streets of a small town in Siberia. During those years, I believed everyone in America was prosperous - the 'common worker' didn't exist, and it was wealth all the way down. My family was not connected, and we were firmly middle class (in the "all animals are equal" way). The Soviet propaganda machine was compelling before my time, but by the 90s, common folks in the USSR were not under any delusion that life in the US was equally bad.
The growth was pretty staggering, yeah. They progressed from agrarian to first man in space in 40 years.
My solution for first party public media distribution is Caddy¹ on Scaleway Stardust². The 10gb of storage isn't really enough space (more can be purchased; I still need to find a proxy for the 75gb of free S3-compatible object storage), but it inlcudes unmetered 100mbps data transfer for $3/month. I proxy through Caddy to dufs³ to upload files via the web (could probably just use dufs alone). Caddy can do basic auth but expiring links would be more work.

Anything worth keeping goes on an external HD locally; buy a bigger one yearly and make another copy (move the old one offsite). After experiencing the death of several HDs I also upload all irreplaceable video to Youtube as private videos. I recently went through and manually granted a few people access by pasting their Gmail into the 200+ they wanted to see; need to automate this tedious process.

Damn they are getting absolutely slaughtered on Steam reviews, here's from kazekaizen with 327 hours played at reiew time:

They deemed a fully operational cash shop, which works like a charm and updates without any issues, a necessity. Here is a list of things they thought weren't needed:
It doesn't need mission select
It doesn't need a campaign
It doesn't need a story when they hired a 40k writer
It doesn't need weapons they've shown in gameplay trailers
It doesn't need the 70+(PLUS) weapons promised
It doesn't need a 5th class like vermintide on launch
It doesn't need 2nd and 3rd careers like vermintide on launch
It doesn't need crafting like vermintide on launch
It doesn't need the promo outfits
It doesn't need enemies shown in trailers
It doesn't need to run at >30 fps even on 30 series cards
It doesn't need their PR to post outside of their discord
It doesn't need to be finished on "launch"
It doesn't need basic mob patrols
It doesn't need better spawning
It doesn't need a scoreboard
It doesn't need penances not to require griefing entire team
It doesn't need shared inventory with all characters
It doesn't need shared set of weeklies for all characters
It doesn't need unified currency
It doesn't need crossplay with Game Pass users
It doesn't need Launch stabilisation
It doesn't need an option to disable RTX
It doesn't need to prioritise core features over a virtual store
It doesn't need options to unlock store cosmetics with in-game earned currency
It doesn't need to fix crashes of the game before crashes of the store
It doesn't need a positive review score
The lead designer of FS thinks that the armoury shop, map rotation and crafting system are all fine. Even though people except improvements regarding these issues. Communication is nonexistent.

It sounds like they did a Diablo 3. Vermintide was well received, Vermintide 2 as well. "Lets make a cash-shop wrapped up in Vermintide 3, er Dark tide, and we'll be rolling in it!" But then they spent all their effort building the shop and the needed annoying grinding experience that has to exist around it to push people to spend money and somehow forgot about making a good game to wrap around it.

The average car age in the US is over 12 years. I can see why it’s much less with the current EV owners as early adopters tend to…well, adopt the next technology earlier. But wouldn’t this also imply the environmental impacts are lessened by continual churn in manufacturing?
