> It creates a system for people to promote their own views as the truth

As long as the different groups are on equal footing and there is a fair way to resolve disputes, the invisible hand should guide the article to something fair.

I think this has been borne out in practise for the most part.
I don’t believe so for my definition of “love” because it includes wanting to do kind things for someone without needing anything at all in return.

A company might emulate love, but it’s really just veiled manipulation.
Maybe, but I don't guarantee it. You're not the target audience.

Intel beat them by far with price/performance ratio.

Not to mention, Intel and Microsoft kinda explicitly targeted all the market share that hp and other similar companies were leaving behind… like desktop computing at home.

HP and similar companies just were blind to that, and never adjusted/resized their research efforts to those markets (huge markets obviously).
Just finishing Children of Memory. They were ok, not on the level of Blindsight IMO. Also reminds me of Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge, which was also superior IMO.
How about the cursor position? The spec talks about "Sixel Scrolling Mode" but I couldn't find any way to display a sixel image inline: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70647549/displaying-a-si...
rule should be: you feed it, you become responsible for it, its deeds, it becomes your pet. or you pay the responsible authorities who will take care of the animal and make everything socially peaceful at the same time so no one will cry.

Yes, that's a valid point, I am usually aware of, but just forgot.
It is probably because UK was the main market for that and now that the economy is collapsing there, the market doesn't exist anymore.

Just for the fun imagine how frustrated should be this customer:
Ars was contacted by a reader from New Zealand who ordered a right-hand drive Model X SUV almost three years ago because Tesla reached out to him yesterday to cancel his order

Because I would say that he deserves it by being a fool buying from Tesla in the first place.
But then you need a surge in power to put it back from lo_temp to hi_temp when you get back home, I honestly don't know if it costs more or less than just maintaining it at hi_temp, and what are the orders of magnitude involved.

Thanks for the details examples here! So would that mean the"when" for a non-native species to be considered native is on the scale of when it noticeably evolved to adapt to its new environment?

> Invasive species would be like replacing all the keys in your keyboard with the letter H. They turn the machine basically useless. Instead to work with the ecosystem, they destroy it, eliminate most species, and replace it by a much cheaper version. A worse system that is more simple, less stable, and has barely the minimum functionality for us to survive

I guess this would also put humans at the top of the list of invasive species? That sure did sound a lot like what we have done over or history, unfortunately
but how good is wikipedia really? isn't it mostly edited and authored by self-taught polymaths with lots of time?
> But the interesting question is: why did they write this article?

I'd guess because they're a part of the community and simply want to share their findings. I see no malice here. Having your work (whether writing or a new product) on the front page of HN for a couple hours is a great feeling and gives you a boost of motivation to continue your work.

They did mention the SEO benefits. Nevertheless, they are linking to a post on Indiehackers (not Simple Analytics website) which doesn't help them much in this scenario.

> Do they just think HN readers will forget about this article, and upvote their next bit of content marketing anyway?

As an HN reader, I come here more for comments than the articles themselves. If the article stirs an interesting debate on a topic that I'm interested in, I personally don't care if the authors used some "strategy" to get on the front page or not. Bad and uninteresting spammy content usually doesn't stay on the front page for long.

I'm not a native speaker, but I've read that "je ne [verb]" was the standard way to negate in Old French, cognate with e.g. "yo no [verb]" in Spanish. The "pas" was originally only added for emphasis, but over time it became obligatory and the "ne" became less important.

It's almost as if, contrary to what the person three comments up says, languages evolve over time...
Bribing something like 500 people can get expensive, but more importantly its hard for 500 people to keep a secret. I don't think its a practical strategy or at least not an easy one.
When you have a large project with +500k lines of code, two dozen contributors, tens of eslint rules, it is very hard to "just" do it the rome way.

They used maximum likelihood tree building. In Bayesian approach it’s possible to sample from a distribution of trees which can help with the uncertainty. Anyway, I only have very limited knowledge on this from my evolutionary biology course.
> Inflation is a necessary evil because paper is static and can't display real values.

In some way (low) inflation is a feature and not bug: having money just sit around unproductively Scrooge McDuck-style is a waste of resources. Having cash (slowly) lose its value incentivizes its investment into productive assets and help move the economy around.

Why does anyone expect / 'deserve' to earn returns on money that just sits around doing nothing?
No, it’s not—-they’re passing in a “node”, not a list, which always contains both a head element and a (nullable) tail pointer. That’s why it can’t separate the head in the case of size one: the node must maintain a non-null head.

Or they can be saving your service in emergency while you stay in bed. I'm not sure why you'd expect a different time zone to mean lower skills than yours.

> And who hired them? Is there no money trail?

This is the most galling aspect of that article - crickets on who paid them to do the deed. The companies named are obviously front company for hire. The clients are telecomms that require FCC licenses to operate. They should get their licenses revoked.
Interestingly enough I think the opposite is the case. The 'MVP' and the general structure Rails gives you makes it easy to follow any trail. The context is mostly obvious and the 'artistic language' of the original coder often easy to understand.

> > Hate speech is hopelessly vaguely defined

> Incorrect! Most organizations have reached wildly close consensus on the matter

That wikipedia article indicates: """Hate speech is "usually thought to include communications of animosity or disparagement of an individual or a group on account of a group characteristic such as race, colour, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or sexual orientation"."""

There was a bill in Florida which: """The legislation would prohibit individuals from making people “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin.”""" https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/19/us/florida-education-crit...

Absent any other context, "hate speech is animosity/disparagement towards ... race" is consistent with what the bill protects against: "don't make people feel distress on account of race". The concerns are ostensibly in the same direction.

I suspect those opposed to the Florida bill would really prefer a more narrow interpretation of 'hate speech', and those in favour would prefer a broader interpretation.

Do you know what employees doing two jobs really is? Either savvy optimization of time or outright management failure.

If you "get away with it", either:

1) your manager is not tracking and managing your time/productivity properly, or,

2) you're actually fit for purpose, the company is happy with your output, it meets expectations for what they pay and things are totally normal.

Nobody is obliging these companies to employ these people.

Programmers working agile should have a throughput denominated in story points and managers should come to an understanding of their bandwidth over a little time. They can then reason about whether they're working on par or not. The reality is that you have a lot of managers not being effective, who enable all these cheats as well as a legion of just regularly mediocre people to skate on by, bill 8 hours, do very little and go home.

Big companies continue to make so much profit that employing such people (shitty managers and programmers) is not really a big deal regardless.
NY is corrupt enough that it might have been intended as both an underhanded victory announcement and as a public quelling measure to make people think justice was done.
It's a good technical question.

Partly it's audit: check some randomly chosen votes, look for anyone not remembering casting their vote.

Partly it could be cryptography: you keep a private key and sign your vote with it. Your public key is stored by a trusted centralized institution, or several (see GitHub and signed commits), so anyone can verify your vote, but nobody can fake it.

Lol, $600k is quite simply a joke. It's not even a slap on the wrist, compared to the payoff. And spread between three companies? If that's the price of corrupting government policy, then just build it into the cost that you pass onto your clients when lobbying. Mega-corps like Comcast and Verizon would pay that in a microsecond.

> Airbnb, Inc. can hire employees in states where we have registered entities. Currently, employees cannot be located/live in: Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Alabama, Mississippi, and Delaware.

It seems entirely reasonable to create state entities in a late-binding fashion, only after you find an employee or other reason requiring the creation of an entity and all the recurring paperwork/expense associated. (I am sightly surprised to see Delaware on the list given that I'm pretty sure they're originally registered as a Delaware corp.)

That I've read, the fraction of employees "cheating" by holding two jobs is very low. But it pushes emotional buttons well, so it gets plenty of press.

Not to say that stupid bosses, reacting emotionally to such "cheating", won't make life crappier for lots of people. But stupid bosses and their emotional reaction were making life crappier for lots of people back when "remote work" meant "pulling on a rope, with the other end connected to the block of stone that we're hauling up the side of this new pyramid".

And - stupid bosses are always going to have obsessions that make your life miserable. Having him obsessing over something that you (99% chance) have no real interest in doing may be better than the alternatives.

I picked up Little Snitch recently, after 10 or so years off it. It certainly provides value, but way way way less than I’d expected, and way way way less than it used to. Public cloud homogeneity and the ubiquity of connected applications means that there has been very little occasion to meaningfully do anything more than an “all or nothing” on an application, and very little occasion for me to want to err on the “nothing” side.

If you've nevertheless consistently brought some of these to completion, don't be worried at the graveyard of incomplete projects. Just as there's a sales funnel for vetting and converting leads to good customers with attrition along the way, so too there's a funnel for converting ideas to your projects' goals with attrition along the way.
Asking WhyBot, "What is today's date?" caused a chain of thought provoking ideas about modern society's dependence on technology to tell the time. Cool!
It's also plausible that, in the absence of regulation, social media optimises itself towards sex, outrage and provocation as the most profitable.

Not really. It has some great ideas but its library ecosystem is weak and it has a fair amount of footguns and jank.

It’s fun to use but it doesn’t really make sense to use it for most serious software projects, particularly those that want collaborators.
I think you probably meant to object to off-shoring (same company doing the work with employees in different country) rather than out-sourcing (different company doing the work). Out-sourcing from other countries has been happening at scale for decades.

I agree that remote work pulls all of us (rather quickly) towards globalization. Overall, I think this is a good thing, even though people (like me) who temporarily benefited from the prior inefficiencies will not enjoy those same temporary benefits, at least not to the same extent.
No, you missed the point. Something that is a baseline today is being used to justify absolutely colossal disparity in how people live on the unimaginative base of "gee, you are not a caveman".

Your phone does not mean that you don't have to work three jobs to have a roof over your head and can't have a family. Having a phone does not make you rich.

To be fair, this is atypical among US government websites. NY leadership in particular seems to tend towards egotism. Lest we forget that governor Cuomo spent millions of taxpayers dollars on new highway signs to rename a bridge after his father, who by many accounts would have abhorred the idea of having a bridge named after him.
No. Just because I blame one set of victims doesn’t mean I blame all sets of victims.

I agree that there is so much to disagree with in the article. For me, the author shot his argument in the foot with this paragraph:

> In art, what’s more, the true and the good are unstable. Every great breakthrough in art is rejected at first. All truly original art—Cubism, bebop, the dance of Merce Cunningham—is reviled by the standards of its day. Often it is judged to not be art at all. It is noise, or nonsense, or something that your five-year-old can do. AIs create, perforce, according to existing standards. If the true and the good are beyond their ken, all the more so are tomorrow’s true and good, the ones that don’t exist yet, the ones great art brings into being.

I don't know much about ML, but I do know that what gets generated will be based on what the machine has been trained on. Feed in derivative art, get out derivative art. Feed in a grand collection of seemingly unrelated data and the "noise" that gets generated from it today might well be part of tomorrow's definition of "art".

And then, for me, the entire argument fell to pieces when the author introduced (in the next paragraph) the false dichotomy between art vs tech:

> [...] Part of the confusion in discussions of AI and art undoubtedly arises from the degraded conception of creativity that has taken hold, in recent years, in tech. Nothing is original, techno-pundits like to say; “everything is a remix.” This is a banality that grew up to become a stupidity.

People have been saying, when it comes to my specialist creativity (poetry) that "nothing is original" for the best part of 2 millennia. The Romans even invented a poetic form called the Cento[1], which itself got invented anew in the past few decades as Found Poetry[2]. So it goes (stealing from Vonnegut): good poets create; great poets steal. And all poems lie.

A flying object I couldn't identify? Sure. I saw an object make the strangest spiral clouds in the early evening sky.

None of us had any clue what it was.

The newspaper the next day said it was from a failed rocket launch at nearby launch facility.

For a similar example, see the 2009 "Norwegian spiral anomaly", from a failed Bulava missile test. Which some also called a UFO.

If by "UFO" you mean something that can only have been caused by an extraterrestrial craft? No.

For a (weak) counterpoint, there's an interesting article in Bloomberg today about how day-time recreational drug habits are increasing due to remote work.

https://archive.is/IoY1k

>> Drug recovery firm Sierra Tucson concluded from a November 2021 survey that about 20% of US workers admitted to using recreational drugs while working remotely, and also to being under the influence during virtual meetings.

So it's not all rainbows and daisies.

"I wonder what would happen if the square root of -1 existed"

"I wonder what happens if numbers were cyclic"

"Can you actually cross all the bridges of Köningsberg without walking any of them twice"

The impetus to solve these problems was that they were fun to think about, not that they a century or several centuries later would enable us to do harmonic analysis, invent the basis for cryptosystems or spectral graph theory. Which are billion or even trillion dollar inventions.
