> It's literally trespassing - there is a law against

So then yes it is bad! Even though a private company is doing it, and it is not the government, it is bad! You agree with me!

And therefore someone saying "well a private company is trespassing, and a private company is not the government" would be making a stupid argument.

> so what's the point?

The point is that the commonly brought up argument of "well it's a private company!" is dumb.

> Trespass law has LONG preceded the constitution

Indeed they have! And the reason is because there is an underlying principle of something that is bad, even if it isn't literally the government doing it. You agree with me.

Therefore someone saying "it's a private company" is making a bad argument.

> that's like a pretty big NO DUH

Oh it is extremely obvious that just because a private company is doing something, that something can still be bad, due to an underlying principle. You agree with me here as well.

And yet despite how extremely obvious this is, people still make this "well it's a private company!" Argument over and over again.

I am glad you agree completely with me, and not only that you think my point is obviously true.

> still really struggling to understand the fundamental brilliance of this argument...

The reason why it is funny is because people legitimately make this "it's a private company!" argument over and over again, which is a really dumb argument.

Have you truly never in your life heard someone making this "it's a private company!" argument?

That could be the confusion here.

I suppose you aren't a frequent user of Tiktok, which is a good thing. I think I'll also be addressing the general HN reader with this comment.

Exaggerated and performed responses are a staple of content on the Tiktok platform, which isn't to say that the filter itself isn't something you can use to reflect on. But give it a browse, and browse enough and you'll see that the content there is mostly acted out and inauthentic, and you'll get a better sense of just how manufactured it is. Savvy teens, children and young adults who frequent the platform know how inauthentic it is. Which is not to say that it isn't entertaining; like how wrestling and drama serials are fictional yet entertaining.

No, the author is a lawyer specializing in defending companies accused of spamming.

It seems obvious, but I think an important part of science is to remain skeptical and not accept things as fact because they’re “obvious.”

It very well could have turned out that the mice still chose to eat despite having no hunger. I for one am definitely prone to overeating past the point of satiating hunger, or eating even if I’m not hungry. I find it satisfying and a way to overcome boredom; or maybe a better example is my dog, who I’m pretty certain would eat himself to death if I left his kibble box unlocked.

It seems obvious that the sun revolves around the Earth, but we now know that isn’t true. :-)
My strategy comes mostly from the 1.6 era, and you are right that at the time it was mostly a matter of stopping to move, crouch and headshot.

I guess you can learn how to anticipate the deviation as long as it's static and dependent on your movement speed (e.g. not random), but that's still good right? It's a skill thing, not a luck one.

This is well said and exactly right. Technical debt is normal, and you will find a reasonable amount even in very successful products. It needs to be evaluated against your total business context and priorities. Ideally you want this to be part of your process.

I have seen the result of projects where the team was overly obsessed with tech debt. The code may look nice, but there is not a lot of it, and the products are invariably feature poor and do poorly when real users get them in their hands. The team was so inwardly focused and they forgot the real world and things like users and features and market realities.

Some tech debt, some dirtiness and rough corners, show a living, breathing product reacting to its users and market and prioritizing value. But make sure you’re aware of what you’re accruing.
When China was adopting kids to abroad, I'm sure that happened. These days, I'm not sure if child trafficking is still a problem, I only hear anecdotes, and its all domestic (because China doesn't allow kids to be adopted abroad anymore except in very rare circumstances).
Again, these aren't poor downtrodden factory workers toiling away in the mines... these are unbelievably well compensated non-founders who have made far more than even the founders of most successful startups, all without taking true entrepreneurial risks. They are already rich beyond measure, and yet their greed is so extreme that they think they are entitled to extort the founder's shares at some knock-down price because of "reasons"-- to the point where they cry about it to the NYT in violation of their NDAs.

Also, you are quite mistaken about the legal duty owed to employees in any capitalist society. You absolutely can wind down a firm, especially if you give sufficient notice in advance to employees (i.e., "we will shut down in 1.5 years from today").

And there’s a trivial solution for the lending tree scenario (I’m making a big leap of faith that consumers really want txt spam from a dozen different lenders)

Instead of handing off customer contact info to a dozen different lenders, they can send the loan request to the lenders, and the lenders can send their offers back to lending tree who can then send it to the customer since the customer only authorized lending tree to contact them. Ideally lending tree would consolidate the responses so instead of a dozen txt messages, the customer receives a single one from lending tree.
To say that Ray Dalio was just a figurehead who was in the right place at the right time is about as ridiculous as saying he should get 100% of the credit.

I'm sure he had very hardworking employees and they were necessary for his success and the success of the company. But those employees had to be working on _something_. Deciding what that _something_ is (i.e. the company goal/strategy) and then coordinating the actions of hundreds of employees and motivating them towards that goal is what a leader/CEO does. Doing that successfully over many decades is not easy.
Yes, but even a traditional retreat in the mountains like you described could be "excessive" to some.
There's a very simple way around this. Grab any encoding that uses a dictionary, like, I think zip does. Sent tiny zip files with an excerpt of a .wav file or something that needs to be compressed.

The decompressed data is always the same, but the data in the dictionary used is where you store your sneaky bits.

Sure, that's still mildly suspicious. But way less than the actual music data changing all the time.

Flatpak used to have a lot of issues with sandboxing, but in recent years the situation has gotten better because of two things:

1. A strong push to help package maintainers fix sandboxing mistakes, expose the APIs that need to be exposed and lock down the APIs that are not needed. It used to be pretty bad but it's pretty rare to see sandboxing problems nowadays.

2. You can now use a tool called Flatseal, or in KDE a new builtin settings interface in Plasma 5.27, to modify sandboxing settings for applications in an intuitive way. If you're trying to use an IDE and just want to expose every permission to it, you can easily do that now.

3. Unrelated to Flatpak, Wayland is now getting a lot of the video capture and screen recording APIs that are needed.

Yep. The only time I ever had a malware-infected computer it was one of those drive-bys. You didn't even have to click through the link to the site advertised at all, the browser would just go ahead and start prefetching it, so in case you did, it would seem quicker.

Projectors sometimes create as a side effect a soft anti-aliasing thanks to the blurriness of the reflection, that makes them look a lot less pixelated than their native resolution, similar to a CRT.

Could you give an example? Most of the arguments in the post seemed to be focused on long-term maintenance. It does put a lot of faith in the upstream allowing contributions and making good decisions, especially when viewed through the lens of Ruby/Rails a belief that upstream continues to exist. To me though some of the arguments like submitting fixes is actually encouraging the reader to fork and make their own changes as opposed to using dynamic modification to behavior.

I would argue Microsoft's choice of Ubuntu is one based upon practicality and social inertia.

As far as I'm aware, Ubuntu is still the biggest player in the consumer Linux market not counting Android. Given the need to balance upkeep costs with range of support, I can see why Microsoft chose just Ubuntu and threw the rest to the wind.
That's a really good point. The only counter would be the Catholic Church child molestation scandal. There were so many victims, I think hiding the accuser would have value. I admit that is an extreme circumstance.

>I think there is a real issue on what people perceive as society's role and what parent's role is.

Not only that, but you a society has become obsessed with risk mitigation over the last several decades. The problem is that people are poorly equipped to estimate risk with very low occurrences against low or unclear cost. You see it in all facets of society with a platitude of better safe than sorry.

It shows up in increased medical licensing to reduce error, which means less accessible and more expensive care. It shows up in new parents who don't introduce their children to family for risk of covid. It shows up San Francisco city policy to reduce traffic death to zero even if it means reducing traffic to a standstill.

At the end of the day, a life with zero risk is not a life worth living but people are scared into the safest option.
