I find that a pretty strange take..
Shouldn't data like this open up conversations around inheritance laws etc? Seems crazy that so much of todays wealth has been created a long time ago by horrendous people. The British Royal Family are celebrated around the world yet they made an absolute genuine fortune from the slave trade. Are we not being hypocritical to our own modern standards by accepting that they deserve that wealth? And it is a typical story all throughout the western world and beyond.
> ...when people reduce some random thesis to a level of brevity beyond the minimum to actually express it coherently...

This has often struck me as one of the worst things about Twitter (i.e., that everyone tries to have conversations about serious stuff on a platform that's not conducive to long/detailed/nuanced posts), but it looks like PG's paying for Twitter's little paid subscription service, which, iirc, does let you write lontform tweets to your heart's content. So that's a bit ironic, maybe.
Flirting is normal and healthy. If you've been convinced otherwise, you've been misled.
I have a hard time believing this is supply-side inflation. Are they saying that multi-national corporations are inflating their own prices so-as to invoke cost-push inflation so that they can profit on the back-end? If that's what the EU is saying (which is what you're implying) than they're insane conspiracy theorists. markets aren't centrally planned processes, especially markets as complex as the EU's. Chances are it's demand side inflation, which is exactly what the US has. The US had a massive recession in 2007 and they inundated corporations with bailouts yet this did nothing to spike inflation. When the US pumped trillions of active currency into the economy they triggered demand-side inflation (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-24/demand-su...). How is the EU any different? They too pumped excessive amounts of currency into their markets (https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/coronavirus/covi...).
In Russian all nouns are gendered (he / she / it), and "ship" is "корабль" which is a he.

I'd love to know what products you're imagining when you make that statement. I work in manufactured goods, and there's massive start up costs when it comes to machinery, human capital, logistics, everything.

You might be able to fill out some forms online to "start a company", but the actual process to get a physical product into the hands of a customer is wildly difficult these days - and that doesn't even consider the fact that you're often fighting a losing battle against Amazon and Chinese counterfeiters right from the get-go.

Actually, no. Water absorbs most of the electromagnetic spectrum pretty well, severely limiting the communication range. So you're limited to low frequencies or acoustic communication. Both have a low bandwidth, so forget live video footage.

PWAs in Edge have the same issue -- links clicked inside the PWA always open in Edge. This is especially annoying because certain apps in the Windows store (like Snapchat) are really just Edge PWAs.

Although I'm mostly linux these days I went to install an alternative browser on a windows machine (using edge to download).

Will this be a “good” move for them, money-wise? Perhaps. SHOULD they do this unequivocally user-unfriendly move? Absolutely not. Businesses SHOULD never screw over their customers for a little extra profit, but of course this sentiment will never stop them.
I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sure one can explain this insight:

Whenever I'm rating an Uber (or any service), the number of stars I leave is often more correlated with how I feel at that particular moment (regardless of the service) and less with the service itself

If I'm having a good day or in a particularly good mood, everything is 5 stars, regardless of the service... and vice-versa
>And then there are some words that are becoming more directly gendered in the modern world. "Guys," as the easy example.

I'm not sure it's so much words becoming more gendered as an increased sensitivity to casually applying male-gendered terms to everyone.
One example is merely being born into the right answer, like a morally superior practice. You might never do the work to arrive at that moral position yourself so you might not actually hold the belief as strongly or as internally consistently as someone who reasoned themself into the position.
Part of the problem is that most human beings are fairly wired through various selection criteria and conditioning to accept even maladaptive behaviors through mimetics. The people that seem to quickly go against societal rules for whatever reasons they may be tend to be viewed as "anti-social" and quickly judged harshly by at least roughly 40% of the population at large. After all, "criminal" behavior and "protest" is mostly distinguished in terms of defining the current social contract as not valid or inconsistent and how many people overall agree, not whether something is simply written down and codified.
And they used the profits from that to nearly completely corrupt our government.
If by "gaming" you mean "be able to play a selection of games you might or might not be interested in, in varying states of support and performance", then yes - absolutely true.

AFAIK the only languages which have genders are Indo-European (except English and Farsi, which lost theirs) and Afro-Asiatic.

Some other langauges, such as Basque and possibly Etruscan have/had an animate/inanimate distinction.
Yes, because the Russian soldier who claims to have executed prisoners is going to be chummy enough with Ukrainian media to go and have a 30 minute live-streamed video where it’s quite apparent that they’re friends. And he wouldn’t immediately catch a bullet from the SBU for leaking secrets.

Oh, and here’s another question. The blogger says “our guys” - as in, the Russians. Why would a Ukrainian blogger be calling Russian soldiers “our guys”?

Was he trying to represent himself as a Russian news source? This would be rather bizarre, as he posted this on his YouTube site that professes to be Ukrainian.

The point being, the whole thing is a blatant fake, and people like you double down on their jingoistic rhetoric because they can’t imaging being fooled by such half-witted propaganda.

Windows has had a mechanism called Windows Resource Protection[1] for a long while now, if you delete notepad.exe (I guess nowadays that file isn't even deletable), after a few seconds it will reappear again. If you delete edge.exe (or whatever it's called) or replace it with a copy of, let's say firefox.exe, the WRP will see the file has been removed/modified and restore it, because somewhere inside C:\Windows there's a backup copy of the files..

DevOps: The Funeral – Logically
I agree that there is not a regulatory measure capable of curbing content creators from carrying out these kind of videos.

However, the previous comments were suggesting that a broader adoption of social conservatism could potentially influence the algorithm's function, mainly due to the increased likelihood of individuals shunning such videos.
that's in line with the past week elo everything ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36393406 ) submission. There are many statistical ways to improve the rating systems, but if you don't act and proactively filter bad actors, is not a zero sum game.
Back when Foursquare was more popular, I always felt their ratings were much more accurate than Yelp’s. They use(d?) a ternary neutral/thumbs up/thumbs down.

Not sure of their algorithm to generate a score of 1-10 – it’s possible it used more information than just the ternary rating — but their ratings could vary dramatically from sites like Yelp that used the usual 1-5 stars, and seemed to track much more closely to the actual quality of restaurants.

Unfortunately at some point you gotta live. Fighting the fight for morality and tye such is great. But you also need to have an enjoyable life. At some point you realize the massive qol you get from being morally flexible even a little. It's pragmatic.

The final straw for me and Windows was when I took the time to remove some annoying feature, cortana or edge, can't remember.

Is there a reason to use brave besides being a contrarian? Why do you trust brave? They've had their own share of controversies. And it's still a chromium browser. Sure they could disable evil feature X, if you trust them to decide which features are evil and Chrome doesn't have a setting to disable that feature, but if Google decided to remove a feature that you liked, Brave would have no way* of adding it back.

That's why the elected mandate is important: the election cycle is the closest we have to population-scale mind reading.

Mozilla should definitely get their act together, but using Google Chrome because you're concerned about ads in other brothers is ironic, to say the least. Chrome doesn't need to serve you ads in the browser because they can track your data to serve you very profitable ads everywhere, and they can hamstring ad blockers with things like Manifest V3.

I'm not defending the ads in Firefox, it's just that when it comes to advertising we're really in a place of choosing the lesser of evils.

We work with much of the Alpine community and some of the maintainers. The glibc choice instead of musl alone means that a separate toolchain and distro is required, but there are also a lot of other distinctions.

exactly, starred ratings are weird for both the passenger and driver

..but they’re also fast to leave and well understood which i’m sure is why they’re used. if you started asking questions instead folks will stop providing feedback. maybe they could incentivize the behaviors through small credits for future rides or something.
I use Firefox, but not because it's more polished than Chrome. It's not.

A small thing that annoys me: ctrl/cmd + click on bookmark doesn't behave like the same click on a web page (opening in the background). There are changes that can be made to about:config, but it's a mess, behaviour is different between a bookmark and bookmark folders, sometimes it switches you to the new tab, etc.

I've also noticed that JS performance isn't as good on some sites. For example, the hash step on VirusTotal takes way longer for larger files on Firefox than it does on Chrome.

The messy profile switch is also annoying, especially when they've supported the feature for years. And no, containers are not a replacement for profiles.

So I agree that Firefox needs to improve. The average user won't use it just because it supports the "open web"... do they even know what that means?

I’m one of the dinosaurs who still uses Skype to talk to some non-computer people who haven’t moved away from it.

Skype similarly gets worse and worse each update. They removed the ability to have multiple windows, they made links open in some kind of in-Skype browser I can’t find a setting a to turn off, they added a weather widget which is dumb.

Thankfully the weather widget exists, though, because their new in app browser doesn’t have any way to close the in app “window” it opens - no x, nowhere to click to close it. The only way I’ve found to close it is to click the weather widget which loads into the same space and that has an x to close it. I bet they’re getting tons of positive numbers about weather widget use from users just looking to close the shitty in app browser. I don’t know if it even counts as a dark pattern - I can’t tell if the Skype designers are this incompetent or actually hate the few users left still on that shitty platform. Maybe they’re purposely trying to get Microsoft to shut it down by making it worse every update?

Every second I use skype I want to get away from it, I just have to convince a handful of people to move as well, or I guess let them know they won’t be able to reach me through there and give up talking to them.

I noticed the outlook link handling thing on my personal machine and figured out how to turn it off but damn that was annoying. I’m not going to be annoyed into using edge - I won’t be tricked into it either. Every time this happens my willingness to go along with this gets smaller and smaller. I have a bunch of paid Microsoft licenses - windows, office365, etc. Once gaming off windows matures a little more I think its time to move away from this abusive shit.
They should NOT try this manipulative approach as what remains in the heads is the attitude they employ towards their users: ignoring them! If this was the one and only one of their dirty attempts it may have been gone unnoticed but their attitude they allow themselves is approaching of a scumbag through the repeated user hosility and ruining usability, proactively wasting the time of the very people they live on.

There may be many who does not care but growing number of people on the grid - who they ask advice from - will spread the dirtball reputation of Microsoft, reaching a lot of people, fortunately.
>wholesale auctions operate with a surprising amount of trust

Just to correct this - auctions operate with a whole lot of caveat emptor

which is why auctions are supposed to be relatively "value buys".. in an auction transaction.. if you're not sure if you're the sucker... then you're the sucker.
Ah okay my mistake. Thank you that makes sense.
They also reinforce their reputation of using dark UI patterns hostile to their paying customers.

This type of thing doesn't come for free, IMO. There's a cost to this, even if they don't pay it in the short term.
Yep! The more you can do locally the better. An entirely local LLM is the best for data privacy and security. Any time data leaves it poses some risk.

The de-identification itself requires a complex language model, which has its own complexity and costs to operate. At Cape we're going as far as we can to offer a secure API that's self-serve and easy to use to make these feature accessible to developers, but it does require trust in Cape and the underlying AWS Nitro Enclaves that we use. Client-side attestation is a security feature that can help provide cryptographic verification to the client of the secure enclave. But local is always better when possible!
That's what I do.

I understand that there are some good use cases for containers, but I still haven't encountered a need for them.

I run everything from a /home/app folder, with the app user and restricted permissions.

I avoid projects that have container-only deployment (supabase, for example).

Whenever I peek behind the curtain, I end up horrified at the complexity.

Honestly, I just can't imagine why someone would want to run postgres, for example, in a container. Seems like a nightmare for maintenance and production support.
Now if only I could remember how to spell caffeinate.
Jaywalking is not "wrong"--it's a problem of cultural expectation. In many countries, streets are significantly safer than in the US, and pedestrians are allowed to cross freely at any point. Precisely because it is understood that pedestrians will do this, cars drive more cautiously and defer to the behavior of pedestrians. The street is a shared space, and cars do not have a special privilege to use it over all other transportation means.

In the US, however, streets are understood to be owned by cars. Drivers move much faster and without regard for bikes/pedestrians/etc. Even the fact that a pedestrian in the street is called "jaywalking" is an expression of this difference--it's culturally frowned upon, if not actually illegal, for pedestrians to be in the street.

So the challenge is: how do you change a culture? There's a better way demonstrated in many other places, but people get very grouchy when you ask them to start acting differently--"It's our way of life!"
