> Push messages can be particularly useful for applications that need to deliver timely, relevant information to their users, such as news or sports apps, or for e-commerce websites that want to send users notifications about special offers or sales.

Sure, they have their uses… but web sites will send far more notifications than anyone wants to receive. People would enjoy a drinking fountain but get a fire hose.

I don’t even think about it. I just click “no” (and curse under my breath for even making me do that) and move on.
The push back on banning (social media app) is befuddling to me. It's an egregious national security threat to have the youth of your nation addicted to an algorithm controlled by these same people.

See this is all so subjective. I have a totally different Opinion and feel GOOG, MSFT should be the ones broken up.

Facebook is not a monopoly on anything (and under threat from TikTok). If having multiple products was a criteria for breaking up companies, there would be too many eligble.

Amazon: Neither retail or AWS nor whole foods nor logistics are a monopoly.

This can be very bad news even in the west, but in context of the Chinese totalitarian dictatorship (Btw. Also allied with Russia), this is just an expression of an authoritarian regime suppressing private freedom. It's nothing but another abuse to suppress their own society.
Has the sector ever survived other than thanks to public and private subsidies? Even in its heyday it was funded by Princes and Bishops and so on. Maybe the right approach is to lean into that. There are a lot of very wealthy people in China for example and many of them love classical music.

It is sadly true however that the West increasingly appears to have no interest in maintaining its own culture.
No, it wouldn’t have been. Populist dictators aren’t a good alternative to monopolies.

I had heard of that before, that they did a mock upgrade.

But a tweet yesterday said they didn’t do a mock upgrade. Every single iOS update for a year did that so they could catch and fix a ton of bugs before the big switch.

I don't understand how it's acceptable for apps like Uber or DoorDash to deliver to me an unprompted ad, pushed into my notifications center. It's always something like "10% off your order for the next day!" or "Try this new pass thing!".

Firstly, that's a guaranteed way for me to disable all notifications from the app, if not uninstall it. Secondly, how is that not a violation of some sort of Apple Developer Guideline? I wish they'd crack down on that sort of thing.

It's funny you speak of flow state here since for me reading up on MMORPG meta or any meta changes to any game is where I mostly focus on such that even before I launch a game I've been reading up on its mechanics and trying to understand it in an abstract way (the opposite of this for me is when I just play Stardew Valley since I just wanna fish or chat with the NPCs rather than figure out how to min-max my farm). The act of figuring out how a game works mechanically is just as fun as trying to play the game itself for me.

It was true. This was mostly because Windows XP had several open ports by default, and before SP2 (released in 2004) did not have a firewall.

Back when scarcity was a thing, the act of powering through with media you didn’t initially like was one of the primary ways of maturing your taste and learning to like new things.

Only consuming media which hooks you instantly is a good way to achieve the media equivalent of a sugar-only diet.

I don’t have an answer for this to be honest, it’s just an observation.
I don't currently live in the USA, I live in Canada, but I have also lived in China, Morocco, France and travel quite a bit. The USA is absolutely one of the best countries in the world in terms of standard of living and freedom.
It amazes me how many of the commenters seem to think that this is a piece by WSJ journalists. It's not, it's an Opinion piece by two members of the same right wing think tank (American Enterprise Institute). Whether you agree or disagree with the article is a separate matter, but knowing whether it was written though a lens of journalism or advocacy is important, imho.
I agree with this point. I would also say that while HCL gets a lot of hate from the developers it really is an easy language to learn and use. Yes it's another language but the language itself I found to be very natural for declaring desired state. Last year I spent two half-days training my team on it (I have a lot of experience with it) and they picked it up rather well. Previous teams I worked with had similar results. It may not be their favorite language, but it's not as bad as cloudformation or a heavy, cumbersome CDK.

The idea that you know something is nonsense, but you make some excuse in your mind for how it is useful nonetheless is such a common, human thing. You see the same "logic" with lie detector tests. "Oh we know it is useless but its still useful because of nonsense games we play with it"

Just stop, accept that it is bogus and don't do it.

These are adjacent but separate problems.

Regulating the supply chain for car and battery manufacturing and electricity generation is not trivial, but can be tackled and is perhaps easier than refreshing the fleet of cars. While making the fleet electric you can work on the energy mix in parallel. With combustion engines, there's a lot fewer options to work with.

There are solid models for comparing the footprints of ICE cars and EVs (including models and studies funded by car OEMs, like my employer). Most of them will show you that there's a higher upfront CO2 footprint to manufacturing an EV and therefore a certain number of miles driven until the EV "breaks-even" compared to an equivalent ICE car. There's a lot of factors that read on it - the manufacturing location of the battery (due to local energy mix and shipping overhead) is a major factor, as is battery size, cell chemistry, etc. Once thing that's immediately noticable if you look at the studies done from 2015+ is that the EV industry has managed to outpace basically every prediction for 2020, 2025, already. The trajectory and velocity is good. I'd back that horse. The market can do a lot once it gets going.

Let's see. Either we spend 8 seconds adding it to the project .gitignore, once in the lifetime of the project; or we spend 15 minutes instructing everyone on the team, plus once for every new hire, so they can spend another 30 seconds on modifying their local configuration.

I'm pretty sure I'll never create so many new projects in my entire career that those 8 seconds would add up to the amount of time required to follow your suggestion. Be a little more pragmatic, folks!

I fully agree with that statement, with freedesktop being by far the worst of the bunch. Seems these so-called "Open Groups" are doing all they can to eliminate the BSDs and probably some rather unique Linux Distros along the way.

And yes, I stand by this and I doubt my opinion will ever change. So let the down-votes begin :)
openai having 100million users seems a bit suspect to me.

given that they need a _huge_ amount of GPU power to server that kind of traffic, I suspect that 100million seems out by an order of magnitude.
Surely this argument applies to every other country in the world and the allowing or otherwise of facebook, twitter, and so on?
Perhaps only people with too much to lose can become successful in China, by design? i.e, "we'll let you succeed - but only if we have enough leverage to control you". Think family, reputation, etc.

In 2021, Germany had 15.6 plug-in EVs per 1000 people, compared to the EU average of 11.0 and the US figure of 6.2.

If you're not interested in cars, you may need to look more carefully to spot them. Here in Denmark, there are plenty of Teslas around, but there are also EVs from normal brands (VW, BMW, Volvo etc) which go unnoticed, except the lack of an exhaust pipe.

Look especially at new cars, 31% of new cars in Germany are electric.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country (2nd chart).
It is, yes. The specific mechanism is that most cases don't go to trial; accused are offered plea deals with the threat that they will receive a much, much harsher sentence if they push for a trial. This threat is often made good too: police testimony is usually enough to get a guilty verdict and police say what prosecutors want them to.

Basically if they want you they've got you. To get out you have to have a very specific alignment of resources, sympathy and luck, and the risk if it doesn't work out is massive even then.
I disabled all notifications but I selectively enabled them on some websites. For example I don't want to install discord or telegram apps, because they live in my browser just fine. But I can't really use them without notifications, that's essential feature. Right now I'm talking about desktop, but I'll be very happy to purge them from my iPhone.
> This is common at large orgs. Not specifically about recruiters, but entire teams of people that have very little to do and exist to enhance the prestige (budget / headcount) of a leader or department.

There's probably more than one reason for anything complicated in a large bureaucracy, but it's hard not to assume in some cases that the more pointless positions partially exist to meet some kind of corporate DEI goals.

Bach's oeuvre is practically inexhaustible and after a while gets to feel a bit samey in places. This led me to make a joke that, judging by a sibling comment of yours, has not landed well among Bach fans, who seem to have a history [1] of being annoyed by such badinage.

Big list of companies to upsell to.
Historically I think you are right but I'm not so sure it's still the case.

Do you think an iPhone with the tracking blocker engaged is still a richer source of data than the web app on an iPhone? Facebook claims that Apple's privacy protections cost them $10 billion of revenue the first year.
> That said, I think anything that makes it to the backlog is naturally low value: if it were higher value, it would have been pushed up.

This assumes the company is making sound decisions. I see companies prioritise new sales over features that would make the software more usable and effective in existing deployments. This prioritisation of immediate cash flow makes it much harder for the organisation to understand why some customers ditch the product later or don't use it enough to knit it into their processes.

It is the perennial enterprise question as to whose needs are more important? The features the CEOs/CTOs of new customers ask for, or the productivity features the users of the products ask for.

In other cases operational efficiency can be easily backlogged just because its harder to perceive. I've seen specialists and consultants be required for installation and setup because key features required for ease of deployment and use are never prioritised. Its easier budgetarily to just write a bit of python to paper over some cracks than get the required features into the core product but this just broadens the code base and arguably increases the liability. Later, managers might hand-wring about why its so expensive to deploy and maintain without ever being able to prioritise the relevant tickets to address those issues.
I don't have a bidet, but I'm seriously considering getting one as it's a much cleaner option. I wouldn't clean peanut butter off of my hands with a tissue and consider it clean.

My kids used to get scared by the toilets which automatically flushed because their bodies were small and it was easy to be missed by the sensor and it would flush while they were still sitting on it. It's older technology, sure, but it's solving the problem of people not flushing toilets while introducing new problems.

I was once in the Microsoft building in NYC and used the toilet when the person in the stall next to me quickly fled the room and I saw water starting to run under the toilet wall (which was maybe 20cm from the floor). I had to quickly finish my business and tell the person working the desk that I had gone to use the bathroom and saw that a toilet was overflowing. I guess what I'm getting at here is that either all of the tech giants have toilet problems or you need more fiber in your diet.
Exactly, I live on a very active street and the daily noise is killing me softly.
Especially those "punks" with their motorbikes or pimped engines and exhausts.

Silence is a luxury I don't have. Only at night between 2-4AM.
I've recently started wearing a full ear headset to dampen some of the noise.

I wish I could just move out, but other flats cost double the price.
>Not sure what you need a scale for

Espresso is a pursuit that rewards precision. Eyeballing your shots and trusting the timer are things that will produce wild variance in experience.

Shot scales are tremendous assets. It's a category of thing I didn't even know existed before I got my machine. A pal sent me one as a "welcome to the crazy coffee club" gift, and if it broke tomorrow I'd order a replacement from my phone before I left the kitchen.

With it, I can track my extraction precisely. I go in with 20g of grounds, and look for a 40g shot ideally extracted in 23-25 seconds.
I wonder if the SE just was released with too little memory.

I bought a iPhone SE 2020 and swapped it out a little over a year later for an iPhone 14Pro because of the app reset issue (granted I bought the phone when it already had been on the market for a while). Before that I had my iPhone 6S for over 5 years and had expected to keep the SE for much longer as well. I now also wish memory numbers were more of a focus when Apple releases a new phone. We keep hearing about storage, cameras neutral processors and yet lack of memory makes the device a pain to use shortly after release. I only now looked up memory for these devices on Wikipedia and the 2020 SE has only 2Gb of memory, just like the iPhone 6SE had! I'm honestly shocked that the SE still had the same memory as a phone 5 years earlier and also by how low the absolute numbers are.
> Research has suggested that the brains of people identified with higher or lesser degrees of extraversion do function differently.

This is an extremely weak statement. You can find any difference in the brain if you look hard enough. The brain is an extremely dynamic system and our measurements are full of noise. And even you are able to fully account for the noise in measurements you can easily be measuring something different than you think you are.

> You are correct that behavior does not derive deterministically from personality.

This should be a failing grade of personality psychology. What is the point of measuring personality if you cant find any behavior associated with it? At this point personality psychology is nothing more than metaphysics and has no place in modern science.
ChatGPT Sparked Evolutions in Movies, Video, Photography, Music and Gaming
I'm surprised the article didn't cover "life" or simulation games since these are often seem to be relaxing games compared to more frantic games like MMOs. For me, Stardew Valley is my comfort game when I just wanna to turn off thinking for a little bit and go fishing or chat with Linus by the lake. Or go on a gift giving run. It just seems like you can kind of turn off your head and go with the flow in the game rather than trying to min-max. I'm sure there's tons of videos for Stardew Valley that focus on min-maxing but I'm glad I just ignore them otherwise, I'd be restarting my game to do that, no thanks.
In the same vein, I feel like persistent web workers need to be surfaced to the user more visibly than they are now, perhaps as a primary settings tab or something, and with periodic clean-up prompts from the browser (“foo.xyz has been running in the background for Y days without being used, would you like to stop it?”) because it seems to me that as things are currently at up, they’re gonna pile up indefinitely since there is no management to speak of. It also just seems kinda nutty that something that started running without my explicit permission can just hang around however long it wants to.

also most scientific data lives in silos somewhere unknown. i went to a really interesting talk last year where a scientist in uzbekistan saved a closet full of notebooks from old professors at his university. They had meticulously catalogued hydrology data, photos of glaciers, etc. and suddenly there was daily data going back to basically the formation of the soviet union for a region that had never had much data before. the department secretaries were going to burn all this as trash. stuff like this exists everywhere including on the internet.
Censorship is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I don't see why banning Facebook in China makes banning TikTok in the US good. It's like saying:

White people are discriminated against in China, so we should discriminate against Chinese people in the US.
