Seems like reddit really wants to kill their IPO. People are getting banned left and right and I have a ton of bots flooding my friend requests. A part of me thinks it's all scripted to boost user numbers and engagement.
Disagree. This is an excellent article.

I'm now old enough to have experienced being around a lot of retired boomers.

You really need to understand the distinction between the state of being retired and the lifestyle that being retired enables. This lifestyle was previously only available to non-retirees if they were independently wealthy or self-employed in a small subset of industries.

I know many retirees that are now busier and happier than they were when they were working!

Some people will pursue FIRE and be unsuccessful (or it will take a really long time). And they will be miserable during that time.

Some other people will quickly succeed, scratch that traveling itch, and then find themselves bored with no idea what to do next.

The article merely points out that building a lifestyle in which you are happy and fulfilled without retirement is now possible for a larger group of people. It's excellent advice. Go spend some time around retirees - you will definitely find that a LOT of them are unhappy, even if they have plenty of money.
I mean, react does it. It never left. JSX compiles to function calls.
On r/antiwork, I see people complaining that they'd only find it possibly to live at some tolerable level with wages far in excess of $50/hour. They seem to take themselves seriously in that.

Thus, for any minimum wage below that, it would be fair to assume that they're still desperate. Doesn't this sort of insinuate that the tipping pressure would still be (too) high if they make less than that?

Plus, it always strikes me as grifty when I talk about a particular social/political problem and they jump in with "if you'd just do this thing I've always wanted to do for different reasons, it'd fix this problem of yours that has little to do with it!". Such people say such things not because they're sincere or that the two things are particularly intertwined, but instead because it's just another opportunity to push their bullshit.

There is no extortion in tipping. It is an entirely different phenomenon. No one is holding a gun to your kid's head, no one is threatening to release incriminating photos of you.

Instead, you're worried that a coworker or a girlfriend will notice you only left 18%, despite that being $25, and that they'll think less of you for it. And that would happen even if the waiter refused your tip. It won't be fixed by making the waiter need less tip income, supposing minimum wage changes could even make him need less.

Your value calculations are off.

* You can't do the math from a baseline of "not watching the game at all". If this creates 20% of the experience but a $1000 TV creates a different 20% of the experience (watching with other people next to you, for example), you haven't gained any value over the cheaper device.

* Unless you're regularly buying NBA tickets, this isn't going to "pay for itself". Solar panels can (in theory) pay for themselves because they cut back on a bill you'd have either way. A product like this can only pay for itself if it causes you to spend less money on NBA tickets than you otherwise would have.
> Passkeys = quicker and faster to get a user's email address.

Using passkeys doesn't give a site your email address. The site would have to still ask for your email separately.
I keep seeing that pattern ,"we don't aim to replace (google|gmail|imessage|twitter|fb|reddit)" yeah and they won't. Waste of time unless you have a lot of time to waste.

Over the past few years I have been developing a system based on incremental flow, as you mentioned. You can absolutely use small habits, and also leverage the Flow State proper in order to train. Eventually you are able to graduate to multiple spinning plates. (to reference your other comment). As you say the greatest danger is dropping all the plates in the presence of a minor stressor since you are operating at your current capacity.

What you end up needing to train is getting back on the horse. It's similar to the notion of "Returning to Breath" in a meditation practice. I have a leveling system and an economy built in, so that I gamify the practice of picking up the pieces. I'm currently working on smoothing out the difficulty curve, comparing several game mechanics like leveling down, adaptive difficulty, and triggering special modes. The idea is to have some sort of a pressure relief valve built into your life.

Do you use any systems in your own life?

It’s a perfectly acceptable comment now. No one in their right mind thought there Apple had realistic expectations of selling 10 of millions of slow 1st generation $10K watches. It was a straw man argument that I really didn’t think that people took seriously
I'm sure many countries have detailed plans this and many more things we are not talking about...

Do you think the powers that be don't have plans and contingencies in place for subsea internet cables?

I would be more concerned if they hadn't thought through these scenarios
Interesting, thanks for the links. Does seem mysterious to me though that the id of the post is different on each of them.
Yeah, they're making the case, because the case has to be made, because it is NOT settled law.

Personally, I think however the case ends up, congress should be deciding these things, as I said above. But people need to stop assuming bringing a lawsuit is the same as winning one...
The reddit redesign is still a marvel of technology, in a negative way. I can not comprehend how it is even possible to make a piece of software, be it online or offline, that mainly just has to display text (and the occasional video, thumbnail or image), so incredibly slow and bug ridden.

It's truly baffling. The editor for comments is buggy, regularly posts comments twice, can't handle copy/paste properly, "there was a problem" and "you broke reddit" error messages on refresh are a common occurence, and just opening a thread takes more than 5 seconds on average. The video player does not work most of the time.

Then I saw the official reddit app, and it manages to be low quality in all kinds of places the website redesign managed to miss. Being on the mobile web version constantly nags you to download the official reddit app, and the nagging popup causes the position you were in the comments to be reset, for extra annoyance.

Without old.reddit or 3rd party clients I find Reddit unusable.
I'm not saying psychedelics can't make you perceive things an unaltered brain cannot. I'm just saying they can't fit tens of thousands of times as much thought into the same amount of time, just that they can make you believe you did, and that experiencing a sense of deep time is not the same thing as experiencing deep time itself. I can dream or be drugged or hypnotized or otherwise fooled into believing I had sex with a supermodel. That doesn't mean I know what it's actually like. The experience I've had and the experience I believe I've had are not the same thing.
Totally. "10% of my life" sounds a lot more significant than "3.5 years"

> That's a pretty high dose if you aren't a regular user.

Exactly. The goal was to take a really high dose, to see if it would do anything—I was getting impatient tapering up with 2.5mg (or so) edibles, so I bought some tincture, did some calculations, and took 50 milligrams' worth. (Just drank it directly from a dropper.)

Now that I've tried such a high dose and not detected any desirable effects, I can basically rule out THC completely as a recreational drug. And it didn't require being uncomfortable more than a single time; pretty efficient if you ask me.

> Altered visuals on cannabis are very rare, its almost entirely a psychological effect in my experience.

"Visuals" includes imagination / mind's eye, but I also got no effect there whatsoever. I mentioned it because I know someone who claims that THC edibles added more "depth" to their imagination, almost like they could see it more clearly when they closed their eyes. I had no such effect. (The effects of THC seem to differ for every brain, depending on the location of the cannabinoid receptors or something?)

> As far as altered thoughts - did you think something was physically wrong with you? That paranoia 100% counts

Not really. I have dysphoria normally though, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell if it was coming from the THC.

I did experience very strong dissociation, since THC is a dissociative, but I already have a dissociative disorder, so that's not very exciting or compelling. (I didn't know how to recognize the feeling of dissociation until I tried THC, though, so I will give it credit for teaching me what that feels like.)
I'm saying you're not worth talking to. Real people get annoyed at dismissive straw man arguments. You have no interest in understanding, and your lack of understanding doesn't hurt anyone, so we're done here.
It really depends on the place. Taco bell and burger king both handle changes really well in their app
Same old arguments in the article and in comments. I am therefore obligated to remind people that the boredom and existential angst of retirement or being homebound is just as likely to lead to depression and anxiety. I think the flaw in most depression/anxiety discussion is the attempt to find secular, empirical solutions to spiritual problems. The thoroughly incomplete solution in modern medicine is to tranquilize ourselves. Not good.

It’s kind of “genius” as a hack to solve utilitarianisms problems - we can label all potential future utility as effectively infinite and thus any extinction scenario as a utility of negative infinite. Then, anything that influences odds of extinction a nonzero amount (say, invention of AI) multiplied by the negative infinity utility to have itself negative infinite utility. It doesn’t actually matter what the odds are, because the factor of all future utility is so powerful.

So utilitarianism’s primary problem - we can’t make a consistent, calculable, useful, and agreeable utility function to aid decision making - is solved by overruling everything with the risk of extinction (consistent, calculable insofar as making a plausible argument that odds of extinction from X are greater than zero, useful that it informs how to proceed wrt X, and arguably agreeable because everyone knows extinction bad)

Anyways my personal POV is that a good utility function should discount future utility, which brings us back to the incalculability issue. But if you treat future utility undiscounted, it makes it very easy to convince yourself of crazy things

That would constitute an illegal search and you could sue the police department for it. The judicial system, despite all of its flaws, has already solved this particular scenario.

I still use F.lux, it's much better than night shift IMO, just wish they had it for iOS.
They always try to say that it's the big bad guy vs the good little guy, but a lot of the time it's not true. One comment said the user posted a lot of spam that they didn't mention in their post.
I don't think it was the idea behind ActiveX that made it suck, it was the implementation. Back when we were making Windows XP I found a ton of exploits where you could load an arbitrary COM component from a web page and buffer overrun it. If the same thing was based on modern sandboxed IL it would be a lot safer and more portable between platforms.
This is pretty big news! It basically means anyone can write nearly any* apps they want without going through the App Store or needing approval from Apple in any way.

It also allows the headset to launch with an existing ecosystem of VR apps to play around with.

> I think VR has a future, but I don’t think it has a broad workplace future. Medicine? Absolutely! Gaming? Sure! Office work? Ehhh

I actually think office work is more practical than medicine in VR. While I agree that office work in VR is less than ideal, I think medicine is even less ideal. How does a doctor diagnose and treat a broken foot in VR..? How does a person accomplish physical therapy in VR? How is an X-ray taken in VR..? How does the doctor take vitals for a physical in VR..?
I'd think that too, but site owners were perfectly happy to go with Google's AMP for a while (maybe still). They put a big "X" to close out of the article and go back to Google in a bar at the top as well as horizontal swiping to get to other versions of the story at other publishers.

I agree that site owners shouldn't like this behavior. Still, we've seen cases where content owners have welcomed things against their interest in the name of engagement or hype.

For example, a lot of video producers started putting content on Facebook (where they received no revenue) because they were getting lots of views on Facebook compared to their own site. This eventually left them without the revenue they needed and they dwindled.

Yes, site owners shouldn't like these kinds of things, but we've seen sites chase a lot of crazy trends. The Oatmeal has a cartoon that kinda sums up some of this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/reaching_people.

Even today, you'd think brands would want to move to ActivityPub where they could run their own server and actually have control; you'd think influencers would want to move to ActivityPub where they wouldn't be beholden to Facebook looking for money to boost their reach or Musk's arbitrary moods. Instead, so many are sticking around on platforms they know are looking to gain an advantage over them. I'm not even suggesting abandoning those platforms, but cross-posting to ActivityPub would mean building a future you're more in control of.

There's a lot of platform behaviors that aren't good for sites that many sites end up being enthusiastic about.
I don’t think gaslighting is the right word, it’s speculation.

In my experience on reddit, most of the time people heavily complain about how awful mods are it ends up being that person was actually just an asshole.

I agree that mods can be an issue and many are power hungry weirdos. I’ve been on reddit over a decade and have dealt with them plenty. My solution to dealing with subs run by bad moderators is unsubscribing/filtering them, as the content is typically of poor quality anyway and it’s usually a giant echo chamber. If that solution doesn’t work and you are constantly running into problem mods, it’s more likely that you are the problem or maybe you are seeking out communities where it's very likely to be ran by bad, heavily political moderators.

The comment in question above does seem like the typical comment you see on reddit, where when you look at their post history you realize they totally deserved it. If that’s actually the case for this person, I can’t say, I agree there isn’t enough info. But I can say I’m not surprised people are quick to assume that’s the case, cause it definitely reminds me of those kinds of comments where that is the case.
Whitmore is just wrong. Not tipping a taxi driver is fine; but tipping them small-change is likely to elicit a stream of curses - because it's insulting.
> Anybody that thinks Reddit is fascist should spend 60 days moderating a popular sub.

I have little in the way of opinions about Reddit, but this strikes me as the wrong approach on general grounds.

It might be true that anyone who spends time running a subreddit will change their mind about moderation. However, the only point of a subreddit is for people to talk to each other and to read what others are talking about; moderation is nothing but incidental overhead. That doesn’t mean it’s easy or unimportant, but it does mean that the burden is on the moderators to prove themselves reasonable to participants who don’t and shouldn’t have to, by default, understand their work going in.

There can be different approaches to that, and in some of them the participants will come to understand and care about how moderation works—I’m not saying that they shouldn’t. But I am saying that if they don’t see why they should but the moderators wanted them to, generally speaking it’s the moderators who failed.

There is no natural law that says that there’ll always be a way to succeed, though. Perhaps in some communities, in some political environments, etc. there just can’t be a good discussion forum. In such cases, maybe it really are the users who suck. But the fact remains that if users get annoyed about the moderation and leave, then the moderators have built a forum that’s wrong for those users.

(This is of course the standard argument against every instance of “the users just don’t understand how complex the backoffice is” ever. But this instance might look a bit unfamilliar because it doesn’t involve computers.)
The first post I got when I opened that link was from a user going by "Kitler" (based on the profile picture, it's a kitten version of Adolf Hitler)

Kitler's post was culture war stuff about homosexuals. Clicking on his profile, I get taken to a bunch of racist and anti-semetic posts.

Gab is for a certain kind of person.
At your behest, I did go to the footnotes. And my read of the footnotes is not that they're an extensive citation of case law to justify their points. (There's just 5 cases cited). Most of the footnotes are citations to various other exhortations that essentially amount to "we think existing financial regulations are too onerous for cryptocurrency companies, please loosen them." Again, there's very little "we think the regulations are unclear," but rather a lot of "we can't do what we want to do under these regulations, please loosen them."
I highly recommend GraphQL-codegen if you like your API client to be type safe on the frontend. I’m using Absinthe on https://veloa.co and like most elixir packages it is extremely well thought through and very stable.

Here's a summary of the main points:

https://jpegxl.info/why-jxl.html

Basically lossy WebP and AVIF are video codecs, which are designed for the kind of quality you want when you can only see an image for 40 milliseconds or less. For still images, higher fidelity is usually desired but the video codecs tend to struggle to even keep up with the old JPEG at those operating points.

Similarly, video codecs are not designed for progressive decoding (rendering previews of a frame based on partial data), because that's a feature that doesn't make much sense for video. For still images on the web, progressive decoding is considered a desirable feature though to improve the user experience.
Its not so simple anymore, see https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1684
It could be blood pressure, yeah. I've only really also tried LSD recreationally, but it creates a similar head feeling (though much less dysphoric). It's probably caused by blood flow to the brain, specifically, due to the drugs being psychoactive.
I'm not sure such data even exists. I think it would certainly explore it though.

My experience working minimum wage was that it was impressively difficult to break $15k, because the employers were hostile to the concept of consistent enough scheduling to allow a second job. I was doing 25 hours a week retail (any higher and they owed me benefits), and when I tried to adjust my availabilty to support a 2nd job, my first job cut my hours, so I was still only working 25 total hours a week (but I was spending twice as much time commuting). Anecdotally, that's pretty common.

Incidentally, if you work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, your pre-tax income at federal minimum wage is $15,080. 31 of the 50 states have higher (frequently considerably higher) minimum wages. So its worth wondering what fraction of the population is in that "low income" group?

Perhaps a better question would be "how does party affiliation relate to the federal 'very low income' status?" There's a strong geographic element to 'very low income', and the local minimum wage factors into that. For instance, in the San Francisco Bay area (where many hackernews readers live and work), there's a more than $20k difference between what's 'very low income' in Solano ($47.7k) county and Marin ($71.6k). You'll notice that both of those are well outside what the graph says is low income. But in terms of buying power, they're poorer than folks in rural Alabama.
I think you'll be demonstrated to be wrong in short order over a period of the next 1-2 years.

My called shot: We'll have fully automated scientific research with useful and valuable conclusions and little to no human intervention. I think it will take some time, but can tell you right now its on its way to happening.
> Say what you like about the “Apple tax,” it’s very nice to have one company who will take responsibility for things not working

Where's the fun in that? Building your own PC is a thrill - budgeting, chosing components, excitedly waiting for each to arrive or picking them from shelf, assembling everything and then pressing the power button to power everything up for the first time. Followed by your heart sinking when nothing happens "ohfuckohfuckohfuck, did I I just burn something out - there isn't any smoke, but I hope it's not the processor". Reseat everything, reconnect cables, get an some sign of life, but it's an error code - progress. Multiple attempts at fixing the error and finally get a POST screen. Apple can't sell that emotional experience or sense of ownership - self-built machines have a personality.

The extra RAM and/or cores I get from a self-build vs. equally priced Apple computer is just a bonus. Modern standards make surprise incompatibilities less likely than in the past, looking at the specs works 99.9% of the times
Nope, you're in an inertial reference frame when in free-fall. Ignoring air resistance, if you were to take an apple out of your pocket and place it next to you in mid-air, it would be motionless relative to yourself. Put a box around you with no windows and you'll have no idea whether you're floating through space in the absence of gravity, or if you're free-falling inside a gravity well.

This is the main difference between general relativity and the newtonian notion of gravity: GR says gravity is just spacetime curvature, and by following an inertial (geodesic) path through spacetime, it appears to be acceleration to certain observers, but is in fact inertial. Newtonian mechanics says instead that gravity is a force and you're indeed accelerating, but it's a view that breaks down at high mass/speed, and GR makes correct predictions where Newtonian mechanics does not, so we generally prefer the GR interpretation.
