The power of this tech to distort reality is scary but what really chills me to my core is the how easy it was. To see so many trying to escape reality itself is pretty bad but that they would so willingly hand over the reins to _Facebook_?! Yikes.
I am always amused that the discourse around LSD uses the term “microdosing”. We know that tiny doses can harm and hurt humans. Claiming that many uses are “microdoses” is rationalization.

Edit: I meant to say “harm and help”, not “harm and hurt”.

I have shipped apps, websites, APIs, and even software for large format screens (30 plus feet). While I often work on the frontend, I typically end up finding my way to fullstack work sooner or later. Especially interested in work in reducing emissions.
To the extent that whole subreddits are deliberately broken (no comments load, or the "open in app" bar covers the "next page" button) in the mobile web version, and that's when they're not labelling everything that's not Teletubbies as NSFW and denying mobile access except via the app.
I heard resentment towards remote workers based on their perceived effect on rents when vacationing in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica recently.

You are correct. Map design has a dramatic impact on the balance of BW - and as the game develops, and certain matchups become more or less one-sided, tournaments adjust their map pools.
The strap side of the mechanism is much simpler than the watch side, and I suspect that for some styles of bands, you can even obtain fasteners from some wholesale manufacturer and attach them to your band, instead of fiddling with the dimensions yourself.
I can't even imagine the gall necessary to tell your secretary you were "going to have her killed", then state that there's no culture problem.

I'm curious about example 1. It sounds like you had all the right things in place so I have a few questions for you:

1. Were you just so hungry that you didn't want to stick with it anymore? What was your daily calorie deficit?

2. Did you enjoy your sports program or was it a chore to do?
All this stuff makes me feel pretty good about boycotting Blizzard games since the starcraft II cheating scandal. WCIII TFT is still my favorite game/game experience of all time because of normal AND custom games, and blizzard will never ever come close to that level of quality again.

Actions to save face describe Blizzard pretty well nowadays. The Vivendi sale announcement on their classic battle.net page really was the beginning of the end. Even me in middle school felt bad reading that garbage.
It's a topic where a company can't win but if you look at the numbers from the report it's somewhat interesting to see that, among other, women are paid more and promoted earlier than men while they hire more minorities than expected. 98% of the employee agree with "My manager treats me with respect". They had 36 substantiated cases on 17 000 employees.

Naturally, this is their version but at the same time I think it's important to discuss the topic beyond anecdotes. Similar to how I think working from home often gets a black and white veil. Would love to see some more in-depth articles.
Bitcoin is acting like a perfect hedge to tech, capturing all the downside (times some constant), and none of the upside. I wonder if this is related to Silk Road holdings being sold intraday on Coinbase or other exchange or OTC. The feds have 50k bitcoin that need to be sold. It's possible these coins are being sold during market hours...something to do with the interplay between silk road sales and hedging.
I don’t hate them, but they tend to be pretty cringey.

Didn't a high-ranking guy sexually harass a woman to the point of suicide at this company? I can believe the company in which a person in leadership sexually harassed another employee to suicide can also have petty executives that demand firing when they feel thin-skinned about their wealth.
> enters into essential matters for the well-being of society.

Which has poorly defined boundaries because people disagree on essential.

In practice "Big Government" is used only for PR value. It sometimes seems the more a politician or policy wonk uses it, the more they are actually likely to increase government spending when they are in power.

Most people seem to use "Big Government" to mean they don't like something the government is supporting or regulating, and "Essential Government Function" to mean something they want the government to pay for or regulate.
Any specific situation? If that oversmart person thinks their solution for a problem is the best, but you think that’s far from true, then just provide a better solution?
Same idea (mostly) with Mr Robot
I obviously havent read it, but I beleive my point is more general.

Housing is an investment because it represents significant input in material and labor which only returns ulity slowly over time. It doesnt matter if are living in a commune, capitalist society, or alone. That only changes who invests in it.

I always like the "lifetime" access when the price is reasonable and makes sense. Also, i assume if you message lots of SaaS startups they will create a payment for a year or something specific...I mean 99% of them use stripe its not complicated option. The more we ask, the more we have options.

No, those people are mad about Airbnb and that's not the same thing. I have rented my vacation home for years and maybe once did I have a "digital nomad."

And I don't know about Bali, but I pay taxes through the nose on each rental for them and the property taxes and income taxes if I make a profit or not (not in the US). I'm happy to do it, I'm not complaining about paying them but don't tell me I don't.

Also these things happen because the locals' governments enabled it. Many countries even have a "digital nomad" visa, but if you allow visa-free entry and all people are doing is using the Internet, then again, that's internal immigration laws. There's no "cheating" at all.

It's not like a "digital nomad" in Lisbon got free health care, tuition, or transport and if their landlords aren't paying property tax or income tax, again, that's not really the fault of the tenants.

Locals are upset about housing policy and they probably should be. Neighbors are upset about all of their neighborhoods turning into transient AirBnB pitstops with tenants who are rude and loud and they should. But being mad at the people who just clicked online and showed up there is misdirected. It's either landlords who don't enforce rules or governments who don't limit the number of vacation rentals in historical areas.

You read these articles and act like everyone is going to look at you with side eye as you walk around. But I just spend a week in Lisbon and it was great and everyone was friendly.

Probably the AirBnB model needs to be banned in many places and only bona fide rentals of full places should be allowed, but it depends on the place.

If you're in an entire development in a tourist area, everyone's a tourist. Places like downtown Lisbon or Barcelona and other places people are upset should probably ban or limit the number allowed.

But anyway, no one is particularly mad at "digital nomads" this is a clickbait article.

Agreed, I thought it was Ybarra who had made these statements based on the headline “Blizzard CEO”, not Kotick.
Yeah, I lurk and comment on here far too much.
We need a better science for sharing experiences. Science is great for sharing experiments where we can replicate the conditions in the outside world. But it's terrible for sharing experiences because they are harder to share in a replicable way, yet that's where some of the most important insights are.

Apple expanded the market for smartphones, Blackberry couldn't take advantage. I see similarities here.

Zuckerberg should have gone with AR to begin with, VR is too much of a shift for people to context switch easily.
Seems like a different situation if Mom and Dad are not on the same page and completely unwilling to cooperate with each other.

I think this line of thinking, assuming the rock stars can do no wrong, is what lead Blizzard down the way it did. Morhaime has acknowledged that he was leader when much of this stuff went down and that he bore responsibility. Alex Afrasiabi was hired in 2004 so we can't just blame this on Activision's people, he was part of the old Blizzard guard.
Story of our time. Contrary to popular belief, market capitalism isn’t inherently good. It needs competition for the magic to work, ideally a lot of it. Otherwise you get Comcast.

Well, they've sold 20 million Quest headsets [1]. This compares with ~38 million PS5s, and ~18.5 million Xbox Series X/S.

That's multiple generations of headsets, but given they iterate quicker than consoles, that still seems a somewhat fair comparison.

The part where they used it in ads makes it certain there is more to the story.

But ActiBlizz doesn't have any monopolies ? (Unlike, say, Steam, or Microsoft.) If their games are bad, quickly enough nobody will buy them any more (regardless of how much they invested in marketing).
Airbnb is also another culprit. Most major cities in Europe are suffering from the strong US dollar, Airbnb and digital nomads. Portugal and Spain are usually big draws for tourists and retirees from UK and Northern Europe, so there is some understanding but the situation is ridiculous.
There are (according to the BMI[1] (German interior ministry)) only two reason to have multiple passports:
The first being the one you stated and the second being multiple (visa requiring) travels in a short enough timeframe so that your passports would have to be lying at the foreign countries embassies/consulates at the same time.

Seems like motivation enforcement is quite strict, as they do state that you can't even get two passports for the "enemy visa" reason when the visits are just planned, but you can't prove it yet (palne tickets etc.) you won't get it, and you'll have to go to the German embassy after you can prove it...

Most of the problem people that have since been fired were not 'late in the history of the company'. They've been doing this crap since the early '0s, which was completely under his watch. He turned a blind eye to it.

It's not like Bobby Kotick was getting on a little red telephone, to let Mike know that Afrasiabi is a major rainmaker and creative genius that shouldn't be messed with.

It's one thing if the problem happened a few months before Mike's retirement, it's quite another thing when he sat around and did nothing about it for a decade. Which is what he did.
Anytime I look, the game library is sub par. I am a pretty regular console gamer and own different platforms. I would love to have one but anytime I look at to games, the list is years old and looks like like a dead ecosystem.

Also, if you want to play games on Steam, you need a PC capable of running them so if I am dumping a few thousand into a PC as well, would rather get the higher rated Steam headset for a few hundred more than the Meta.

Lastly, I don’t trust Facebook at all. I think the recent update was the first you didn’t need an account but some people I talk to like me are sketched out of a device staring at your face and expressions and wasn’t rated too high for privacy.

Show HN: Chrome extension that generates responses to LinkedIn messages using AI
Hi guys! I want to share Chrome extension that I developed recently. It parses LinkedIn conversations and generate responses, assuming that your interlocutor is a recruiter and you are a candidate (please find instruction manual in the extension description in Chrome WebStore). The response should query for job details.

The extension sends parsed conversation to the backend service which uses OpenAI API.

This is a POC/MVP. My ideas for futher development:
- summary/comparison of job descriptions you got
- connecting you to other candidates that got the offer or might be working for the company

Any other ideas and comments are welcome :)
And let's not forget the Cosby room - a room dedicated to rape and sexual assault of female employees by ActiBlizz leadership.

You might argue that "those" folks are gone, yet apparently their culture has not really changed.
Whatever brand's marketing can get in there first, snag a moderator role, and then flood this discussions.

True for everything, and is why I pray for the Dead Internet Theory to happen.

The most important money throughout history and still today is debt. "Debt the first 5000 years" is a good book on the topic. A shorter form explanation that is pretty good is "The DEBT Cycle Explained By Ray Dalio" on YouTube

Again I'm still not sure why you are trying to convince me that USD is a bad investment. I already said it was at the beginning of this thread.
I'm not sure if the law targets facebook posting news, or your friends posting news links? Or both?

does this tutorial work on macos?
Yeah, no part of that lifestyle would be appealing to me. Travel has diminishing returns for me personally and I'm definitely at the point where it's more of a chore than something I look forward to, unless it's to ski.
Absolutely, and I do love the higher bandwidth signal. It seems to have a seriously limited practicality at this point, though. I watched a movie and that was neat, even though it’s flat it was kind of nice to have it be so… Immersive, I guess. Sound cancelling and vision cancelling at the same time is pretty cool.

The games are very novel but something like tears of the kingdom is far more engaging and gratifying for me. Maybe that’s because I grew up with flat games and it’s where my brain is most comfortable.

So, I don’t really watch tv or movies (maybe once every two months at most), I don’t game much unless with my kids (doesn’t work in VR/AR), and otherwise I’m not sure what kind of individual activities I could get up to where it would be useful in its current state. Or even a moderately more advanced state perhaps. A big snag for me is that you can’t really do it with people.
> Until you have actual data that (1) there are "3 billion daily active users", and (2) "users do. not. care." kindly contain your miserable state of feckless hostility to yourself. Thanks!

Speak for yourself. Again this is you:

>> How about Meta pulls itself out of social media altogether. Zuckerberg has destroyed all trust at this point. Shut it down. Seriously.

You’re the one who wants Zuckerberg to completely ‘shutdown’ Meta and all of its social media services. For the third time. The users simply do. not. care.

Let us test this right now: Go to Zuckerberg’s Facebook or Instagram page and tell him to shut Facebook and all of Meta’s services down like you said in your comment.

I guarantee you, not only you will not do it, but even if you did, it will only prove that the users will NOT care regardless and all this shows is that you are all talk on this website whilst you complaining about shutting down Meta.
Also, just the fact that it is easier to soak a person a little at at time ($7 per month) rather than hit them with a big price all at once ($495).
There are problems with tensions between locals and digital nomads in several places, especially Portugal, but also in a lot of major cities where they are having a similar effect to Airbnb. A big issue is the strength of the US dollar simply makes it impossible for anyone else to compete and attracts so many Americans.
