If 2-3 people decide that this warrenm fellow needs to be pushed out of the website for whatever reason they currently can coordinate and start flagging your posts left and right at every opportunity until you are effectively banned.

It will turn into reddit. Groups will start raiding each other over politics. Coordinated upvotes are not allowed, I don't see why grudge/group flagging should be.
Today, you also have to explain that even the pictures of your friends are not "the average looking person" because almost everything online gets fed through various filters.
Some of these aren't just bad, they're downright evil. Don't be surprised if someone implements one of them not realizing they're supposed to be a joke.
That's true. Most of our production data is in the "petabyte" category. But often we start out with a small amount of data, for example for a new feature or product. That's when a lot of the exploration and query building happens. Once that's done, we leverage BigQuery to scale this up, serving a few hundred million users. There's a platform/standardisation component to this as well. We want our devs to use a single tool for all of their OLAP uses cases.
The reasons for this are very interesting. It's worth having a read of https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/B2034-... for more info from the source. The interface with social care is a particularly hard nut to crack.

Ok, so let's put this another way: if a singularity is just a superintelligence that can outsmart individual humans, then we're already several singularities deep. At the very least, any civilization larger than an individual tribe is already pushing the bounds of human comprehension[0].

While I will give you that states used to be far weaker on average, that doesn't mean they aren't singularities. A city state with no ability to project power beyond the city walls is still capable of superintelligence. Furthermore, part of the rising power of nation states is that said states created another singularity: the limited-liability corporation.

Both of these singularities work because they allow aligning millions of individual human agents towards a common goal. Humans cannot naturally cooperate in structures that large. The reason why this works is because of delegation of work and specialization. You don't have aggregate piles of labor; you have farmers, architects, and merchants who are cooperating for some incentive.

If you alternatively demand that your singularity be a technological innovation rather than a social one, then fine. We're still several singularities deep. Humans used to be exclusively hunter-gatherers until we exhausted the carrying capacity of the land and invented agriculture. This enabled many of the social changes I talked about above - hunting and tribal units are sort of interrelated, and so are agriculture and city states. Metallurgy is such a powerful technology that the term "stone age", to refer to civilizations that don't have it, is widely seen as an insult even though stone age civilizations were still quite powerful.

Yes, I can think of several other reasons why Ray Kurzweil would claim these are not singularities. No I don't consider that convincing. The point is that humans have already been dealing with things that are outside our understanding and dramatically change the human condition for thousands of years. If we are going to talk about AI as a technological singularity, then we need to consider how that will interact with what we already know about prior ones, rather than just wax philosophical about the religious implications of our god computers.

[0] Dunbar's Number postulates a maximum limit of socially meaningful friendships at around 150 or so. After this point you need to embrace managerial structures, hierarchy, and the problems that result from such.

These ideas seem pretty doable for a single user note taking app but as soon as you include another collaborator, you've a whole another problem of different levels of conflicts, CRDTs and what not.

Becomes lot more harder when you have some 100 agents in the field, taking orders on their mobile devices and you have to do full double entry book keeping even when offline.

They don't. The business model is to milk existing customers for all they have got.
Maybe the maturity and morality in CH and the Nordics comes from properly funded and independent curriculum education, which probably stems from good governance, which comes from a system that rewards rough consensus and compromise. It's a virtuous circle.
Twitter really is the worst. At least the other platforms have some good mixed in with the bad. It is nice to stay vaguely connected to people in a sort-of holiday card way.

Twitter has nothing to redeem it. Even in communities where there’s attempts at substantive conversation the medium makes a horrible mess to follow.
No, I will keep using telnet, thank you.
Yeah. Its not social media - its media in general

Depends on whether they're trying to bring in someone international, or just in the local talent pool. You do get some good benefits: supplemental health stuff and a DB pension.

Saying Windows has had it since Windows 98 and then, acknowledging that the issue is wake-on-demand is a bit confusing to say the least. Obviously Linux can sleep easily since decades ago. The issue is wake on demand (and I don't know if Windows has that even)

I think it's the total visibility that's causing mental illness. There is no space where you can be with your friends, screw up, and not have it become known to everyone in your peer group. There's little space to make mistakes. No space to be yourself. You are under the watchful gaze of your friends, i.e. peer surveillance, nearly all of the time. Which induces stifling conformity.

Everything's under constant scrutiny. And your friends end up exerting social control over your life through social media.

So your "friends" in essence, force you to use these platforms. If you don't you will be treated as a social outcast, a pariah. It makes you wonder what these "friends" really are in the first place.

On top of that, parents are on there too, and can more easily find out what their children are up to, thus allowing them to be helicoptered and coddled even more than ever before, thus stifling childrens' development, because in order to learn responsibility, they need the freedom to be able to make mistakes, and be exposed to the natural consequences of those mistakes.
If children/teens weren't exposed to so much online doom-mongering, they would be finding things to live for rather than fearing the future.

Even if the world is a bit shit, there's still plenty of opportunities for love, family, friendship, art, music, sport, and plenty more. Maybe even working towards solving one of the big problems we face, whether that's through science/tech or politics/economics?

Languages are fascinating! German has an almost identical word ("gesellig" - https://dict.leo.org/german-english/gesellig), but with a different meaning that can easily be translated as "sociable" (referring to a person) most of the time. Looks like the Dutch extended it to places that encourage being sociable?
> Do you have the expectation of privacy in a store?

Yes, absolutely. I don't have an expectation of having as much privacy as I do when in a private residence with the blinds closed, but I do have an expectation of some forms of privacy.

* The store will not perform a full strip-search of my person upon entering.

* The store will not place a GPS tracker on me as I leave, to determine where I live.

* The store will not have a team of employees with clipboards follow me at all times, making notes of my location within the store.

* The store will not keep a record of my eye movements, correlated against which products are being glanced at.

The problem is that, as technology has advanced, some forms of privacy that used to be protected by impracticality of implementation no longer have that protection. For example:

* The store will keep video record of my visit for a few weeks at the most.

* The store will not analyze video records outside of suspected shoplifting.

* Record of previous purchases is limited to the cashier's memory.

Privacy is not a binary yes/no decision. As technology improves, forms of privacy that were previously protected by limitations of implementation must be protected through other means.
Thankfully it is not slow! Last I measured it and its immutable data structures would beat Scala's immutable data structures in benchmarks.
It doesn't matter if it's a proprietary format. Proprietary formats can be reverse engineered and modified and converted. There is a world of difference between a proprietary file that I have online in a form that I can't access directly (and I have no idea how it's being accessed, changed or stored by the service itself or third parties) and a file that I have on my harddrive that I have complete control over.
Just don't confuse your vocation with your avocation. You do want to find a job doing something you enjoy, but if it isn't fulfilling you can look at volunteering outside of work or take up a hobby.

Try to narrow it down. Do you want to work in a cubicle/office? Work outside? Do you want to work with people all day long? Work with animals? Tech industry? Humanities? Healthcare? Even then there's a lot of overlap (e.g. IT in the healthcare industry).

And deciding what you don't want to do can narrow it down a lot.

Are you willing to relocate? That will greatly open up your possibilities, especially if you want to work for a big company but grew up in a small town.

Is there a company you want to work for? Tesla? Lockheed Martin? SpaceX? Find out what kind of positions they are hiring for.

As others have mentioned, don't forget trade skills. Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) has a lot to say on that matter.

If you can narrow it down, message boards like this can help with more specific suggestions. You left it pretty wide open. And I would always recommend an education.
Lucky me that I am set to retire (15-20 years from now) about the time this will all kick off on the terrible side of that cycle...

I'd been a fan of the creator since his first Netflix show (The Haunting of Hill House). I honestly liked Hill House more, it's a beautiful story if you haven't seen it.
That's a very good point, social media has made it a LOT easier to invent issues that isn't really issues but just a topic for bullies to rally around.
It's also important to remember that there are specific threat actors in other countries who spend many many millions on polarizing western countries by amplifying the most extreme voices in their online forums.

AI is going to take this to a new level.
Traditionally they weren't on offline software though. It's an online-era thing, and it thrives on online-ness, both for getting the "new" ads and for sending impressions and telemetry back. Even on modern offline-software-with-ads it's usually a glorified web view.
I think there is some good stuff that could be described as "Social media", and lots of bad. For example I think all the "influencer" stuff is likely to be problematic, where people show how great their lives are (and by implication how bad yours is).

I think social media like following just your real life actual friends on Twitter / Facebook / having a WhatsApp group is a very different thing.

I think that many videos on YouTube are no different or better than normal TV. Things like creators teaching their skills, or Numberphile.

I'm worried that by saying "Social media is bad" we will throw the baby out with the bathwater.
How does it happen that one of reasons for this is to become more environment friendly?
While this article contributes a valuable analysis, what I have been looking for in my own teams is that devs get out of their selfish space and start to see what their fellow dev needs, what the team leader needs, what the project needs. Many devs get caught in the thick of coding and miss the forest for the tree. And I get that, but software engineering is a group effort that faces challenges not restricted to code only.

In Europe sleeper trains have become somewhat extinct. High speed rail is just so fast and Ryanair so cheap, they became unprofitable.

However, there seems to be a revival going on. Especially the Australian railway operator (OBB) is investing a lot in their Nightjet trains. Some of the trains allow you to take your car with you.

I'm not sure if they are profitable, but they seem to be fully booked during the summer months (we had to book 2+ months in advance last year)
I’ve had the downvoting spree happen to me a couple of times. But I don’t agree with you because preventing downvotes/flagging, or identifying users who appear to downvote in bad faith, will just spiral into worse behavior. HN isn’t perfect but it’s better than the alternatives.

My HN karma doesn’t mean anything. Losing a few points now and then to a person with too much time on their hands doesn’t bother me.

| "In a world where nothing seems sure anymore"

The world changing is the one thing thats constant! When I went to college computer science saw so few students the entrance points were the lowest in the university, they nearly shut it down due to low class sizes. And the subsequent tech revolution was an still amazingly tame and uneventful period compared to the previous decades of social upheaval. Hell even improvements in tech right now are probably less mind blowing than most of the industrial revolution.

Knowledge hasn't changed due to recent events, it doesn't become cheaper or more expensive. You never had to be smart, its just the smart thing to do as it makes filling the bottom part of mazlows hierarchy of needs a lot easier for us humans.

So do what you wanna do and challenge yourself in a nice way. If your sensible get into a career that provides and doesn't bring you down, then do a passion on the side. If you wanna go all-in on painting or acting or indie game design go for it - just realise its gonna be tough.

I will say that the psychological positive of having financial stability >35 cant be overstated. But in saying that Ive rarely met a person who regretted what they did in their 20s, unless is was working all the time.
Isn't that more like "decentralized vs centralized" though? In my experience talking with coworkers about online vs offline apps, the article's definition is what we use. Granted, I've worked exclusively in Web dev for years so maybe it's all contextual.

Wow, there's no need to yell.

Does Apple warn you when you're setting up that pin that it is the most powerful way to access your account?

I would bet if I walked outside and asked 100 people if they thought the pin was for convenience or if it was the last resort to accessing their account, literally all 100 would think it's for convenience, and a birthday would be sufficient.

This is a personal anecdote: I have family members, mostly younger ones (and I’m in my mid-20s), who are extremely anxious about climate change. They’ve sought mental health services because of their worries. I don’t think that’s particularly unique.
