Imagine what a group of thousands of somewhat mentally impaired humans, each of which has its own role to play in a perfectly orchestrated adversarial ensemble, could do.

The fact that hacker news can read this—which is what I’ve been afraid of since a few weeks into DALLE2–and still not see the coming wave, is more than a bit funny to me.

Also scary.

Mostly scary…
I think just letting them play with regular programs or kid versions is better than games. When i was a kid, i would use some kid version of Paint that had little clipart built in, and then i would just play around on word trying to make signs and pictures and junk.

I never got super into video games because my dexterity is crap at high speeds. But as i got into my teen years, my grandma who was super into photography gave me her old laptop. I was really into changing the color of pics, trying to give people makeup, etc. I also really like specific data software like RadarOmega.

In general, i would say try and get fun stuff that doesn't have the pressure of timers and points and game over screens until the kid is old enough to understand competition and games in real life.
> literally almost everyone used to be anti or neutral about LGBT 20 years ago

I can't remember any mocking for changes on LGBT issues from "anti" to "support". In fact, that movement was particularly careful throughout the naughts and 10s to be welcoming to changed minds. I don't remember any mocking for changes in the other direction either, but tbh that direction of change was probably pretty rare until fairly recently. So maybe it did happen and I never saw it because the precondition was rare.

Nit: Massachusetts legalized gay marriage in 2004, which was 20 years ago. Several other states quickly followed. Major changes to civil institutions don't happen when "almost everyone" is quixotic. I think you could say "a majority" were anti or neutral, but certainly not "literally almost everyone". Perhaps "literally almost everyone running for President", but now we're talking about dozens or perhaps hundreds of people most of whom genuinely deserve to be mocked for having no real convictions outside of personal ambition. Or at the very least mocked a bit for the obvious dearth of courage to defend or even admit to any convictions they do hold which happen to be inconvenient to electoral college math...

>Joyce never intended for the book to only be read by university professors - he was a man of the people and intended for the book to be read by ordinary people.

Honestly, he intended the work to be read aloud publicly, in the same vein of epic storytelling as The Odyssey. There's even a recording of him reading a few pages, it's absolutely mesmerizing: https://youtu.be/ZhW0TrzWGmI

That's fair, there's probably more gray area in the definition than I suggested. I think the difference to me is that this is exploiting a weakness in the encryption itself rather than just guessing what the likely combination is. For password cracking, you're typically not exploiting the encryption but rather what passwords are more likely to be used than others.
> Discovering you're wrong is far more valuable and is worthy of celebration.

Sure, but if in the course of being convinced of the wrong thing they have caused harm it should cause guilt and embarrassment.
From the best I can find, YouTube is barely break even.

And if you really want to be pedantic (not saying you are), Apple lost billions between 1995-1999. But not trying to capture market share. No one wanted their products.
> it's because there's a supply/demand mismatch.

No, it's because demand for food is inelastic.

Free market theory is useful for getting general ideas for how doing X or Y might affect the economy, but once you're talking about the actual economy made up of actual people, you need to forget it, because "free markets" that actually follow those simple rules directly are effectively nonexistent.

In this case, you don't even have to go so far as to say the theory is wrong, because it lays out certain conditions for what can be considered a "free market", and elastic demand is one of those.

> they couldn't raise prices in the past because people would get too mad at them

They didn't raise prices before because they believed people would get too mad and they'd lose money.

Due to a fairly complex combination of factors, that's no longer true.

Some of those factors are the increased consolidation of nearly every part of our economy, meaning that there are vastly fewer players in a given sector that would have to defect in order for this to stick; the (relatively speaking) massive levels of political and economic turmoil the US (and the Western world more generally) has suffered over the past several years, leaving people much more numb to stuff like this, at least in the short term; and the number of people willing to sit there and justify their actions for any of a wide variety of reasons. (And yes; the supply shocks of the pandemic that actually justified raising prices are a major factor, and were clearly the trigger for this—the thing that either gave them the idea, or showed them that it might work.)

> ...the anti-abuse options are usually more expensive.

So you can read into that, "This is how profitable it is to abuse your users."

Smart TV companies make more money selling behavioral data now than they do selling TVs. Streaming stick companies are the same. Roku basically gives hardware away at cost in exchange for the juicy data streams coming off it (their "how we sell your data" "privacy" policy is a hysterical read, they grant themselves permission to scan your network and report other devices on it should they care to).

It’s just the natural development of capitalism, as its internal contradictions generate worse and worse crises. The ruling class (the ones that own most capital) are disincentivised from changing the system, since any effective change would require them not be the ruling class anymore.

The way out is revolution, where the working class become the ruling class. We may yet see that in our lifetimes in several countries.

I really value people who change their mind gradually when new information, events, etc happen.

I do not value people who change their mind frequently because they cannot think for themselves.

The last decade has really shown to me that people do not think for themselves. The devastating effect of the great depression changed Keynes mind and he adapted his theories to it, you would think the same would happen for significant events that have happened recently too.

If your goal is to maximize the number of people actually in the park, then you want cheap early cancellations, and high late cancellation and no-show fees. You want to encourage people to cancel with enough warning if they no longer plan to be there.

I'd encourage a bit more skepticism to this article. While this accusation could possibly be true, there are two things to keep in mind, which I am sharing having experience as a founder/CEO who has gone from startup to IPO:

1) This is taken from a complaint in a class action lawsuit. Class action lawyers are very similar to patent trolls whereby they can spin almost any story they want. And journalists go for clicks, so they amplify the sensationalism. It doesn't mean this is one of those, but a class action complaint should not just blindly be trusted.

2) There is a strong theme of "of course execs lie cheat steal at every turn" and I also think this narrative should be questioned. Ethics aside, the level of compliance in a public company is insanely high. Execs are already rich. To risk jailtime, which fraud can lead to, you'd need to see something more existential than slightly increasing margins on used van sales.

I felt inclined to comment as I've been on the other end of articles like this, and it is astounding the level of mind reading people have done into my intent and actions on things that were factually just not true at all. I also truly would find it very difficult to commit a broad organizational fraud even if I wanted to and my company is only 500 people.

If I had to make a prediction, the case is less black and white than it appears, and if there was fraud, it was probably committed at a non-executive level by the person whose P&L was directly tied to these resales. Or, it was done independently by the much smaller leasing company where this was more existential to them. It is highly unlikely to be a Fed Ex executive-level conspiracy.

I'm sure there are a few counter examples, such as say the VW emissions scandal, but I would counter these were the exceptions that proved the rule and in general when the C-level was involved was much higher stakes.
> 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.

Speaking of propaganda.

Who's your source?, the words that you quote are useless without an actual person to put them too.

Theres also now plenty of news articles that have multiple bits of evidence that you have conveniently just left out.

You have a lot to type for someone without a single source.
nice insight BUT, "drugs" are vastly different. That statement is reminiscent of a mostly-sedentary adult "discovering" exercise. The followup is "just do exercise!!" .. points for the effort, but it is a single step, not a journey.

"drugs" are an extension of "food" and "breathing" .. what ? everyone agrees that you have to eat, and people do.. yet the details of eating, and what you eat, are massively varied.. too varied to make meaningful generalizations on a text forum. Similarly, when you ingest "stuff" there are complicated interactions that happen without consciously knowing it.. the edge of those interactions are what you are calling "drugs"

Lastly, some of the old herbal drugs were awful, and we are evolving past those.. but, some of the new synthesized drugs are more awful.. some of them are being used by millions right now.
How on Earth are you ever going to reliably prevent false positives for a feature like this while still reliably detecting crashes?

I mean realistically unless you have a clear visual of the crash it's going to be very hard to tell a car crash from a loud noise + movement alone.

Really they should be asking you if you want to enable "crash detection" before setting off and it should remain disabled at all other times. If you can already ensure the user is in a car and then the phone happens to sense something like a crash then chances are much greater that it's actually a crash.
> Look at when a public culture figure changes their ideas about something in a way that breaks our image of their identity- Jim Carey starting to make paintings or Lewis Hamilton designing clothes. If someone is well known for something then it seems like there’s a general aversion to that person expressing their thoughts and opinions in a different domain.

Usually the issue is not about them doing something that breaks their identity but about using their position of influence to get an advantage with having far less skill and talent than the competitors that didn't start out famous.
Crash Detection uses more than accelerometer and gyroscope input. Another major item it uses is listening for overall sound/noise from the microphones -- if it's loud, it's assuming a crash. Screaming and howling and bumping and grinding around the phone has no other clue other than "I must be in a crash".

It leverages the GPS, microphone, barometer, Bluetooth, Carplay status, accelerometer, and gyroscope in a sensor fusion.

You are not passing the algorithm because you are not supposed to pass it. If you are going to be just blindly sending your resume to the system, nobody will ever reply to you.

What you do:
1. Find a company you want to join with an open position.
2. Create a profile on LinkedIn and nicely fill your profile.
3. Find a recruiter that works for this specific company and send them a direct message.

This needs to be a recruiter working directly for this company. You need to approach them and ask for an interview.

Companies have multiple recruiters so if one recruiter is not responding, you can contact another.

This way you will skip the algorithm.

And if you can't find a recruiter, there will be definitely an engineering manager you can contact. That works sometimes too.

I used this method about a year ago and was successful 9 out of 10 times.

I also tried blindly sending my resume about 5 years ago and got a reply only for 1 out of 100 applications.

The article is dealing with a real lawsuit and it has many different members of the class action in multiple different states. They will have to prove their case in the court so it is unlikely that it is completely made up. There does seem to be a pattern of behavior here.
You don't consider two PE firms controlling 64% of the market to be consolidated? Here is a history of mergers in the air ambulance space [0]:

> In 2010, Bain Capital bought Air Medical Group Holdings for $1 billion, only to sell it five years later for double that amount to KKR, which, in turn, merged the company with yet another air-ambulance provider, American Medical Response, under the name Global Medical Response. (Tracking this shell game can be dizzying. In the three years between Hoechlin’s air-ambulance flight and mine, Guardian Flight merged with REACH Air Medical Services; both are owned by Global Medical Response.) In 2017, American Securities drastically accelerated private equity’s takeover of the air-ambulance industry with its $2.5 billion purchase of Air Methods, the largest domestic provider of air ambulances. (In 2016, during its final year as a publicly traded company, Air Methods posted a $97.9 million profit on $1.17 billion in revenue, and the year before had paid its CEO $2.5 million in direct compensation, including stock options.) That purchase established the industry’s current landscape, in which two private-equity firms, American Securities and KKR, control almost two-thirds of the national market for air ambulances, according to Medicare data.

Also, regarding the vets, JAB bought emergency vet services in specifically target geographic locations to control the market for emergency vet services in those areas. They control a tiny portion of the overall market, but their consolidation still allows for higher prices in the regions they operate in.

He horribly misjudged what ordinary people enjoy, then.
I don't find it super weird, at least conceptually. Conceptually there could be things so dangerous that you can't try even once. Maybe he's mistaken in believing that alcohol belongs to that category, but the principle is conservative, if not optimal. Yes, better to err by never trying than by becoming addicted.

Disclosure, I enjoy alcohol, but I admire those who say "I won't try, not even once".
Not when you believe that the absolute standard for truth was written thousands of years ago and never has and never will change. Forget historical truth, we already know that's absurd, but plenty of people think that way.

People get mocked when they change small beliefs to keep heavy beliefs intact. Say changing their belief about a policy when they find out it's based on politics they oppose.
In my view, wise people don't declare they have the answer until they are sure, so it follows that wise people appear to start with the right answer.

That said, sometimes one needs to declare a position without be absolutely sure and it is wise in that scenario to declare the fact that you are unsure.

Initial Research Exposing Jokerspy
I find traditional psychedelics to be far too powerful for myself. I have an issue with letting go, and ego-death is not a fun experience for me. It would be great if I learned to let go, and "go with the flow," but my anxiety just doesn't allow me to do this.

I have found lower doses of THC <= 5mg allows me to self reflect on my current situation, and gives me a sort of "vacation" from my normal way of thinking, without completely blowing away my sense of reality. For a few hours I can meditate to music, tap into a more creative artistic side with painting, and leave the stress of the day behind me. The next day I wake up recharged with a better way of thinking about my day. Of course, THC is a mild psychedelic, but I don't get the extreme paranoia or anxiety of complete ego dissolution. I have not tried microdosing, but perhaps that could have a more lasting effect. The last thing I want is to need medication just to perform at work. I have generalized anxiety disorder, and the THC seems to help in all aspects of that anxiety, not just work related.
I'm biased but think it's very cool - congrats on the launch! :)

I have the Interson Protac Pianissimo, with 25dB filters, I had them made at my local audiologist (Amplifon) a few years ago.

I am very satisfied, and I never suffered any kind of hearing loss or tinnitus after wearing these and while not perfectly linear, I could fully enjoy the music. If anything 25dB is a bit too much for "reasonably" loud events and I am tempted to buy extra filters with less attenuation for these events.

1. There is still no direct Ancestor. Despite extensive sampling and analysis of wildlife, no direct ancestor or intermediate host of SARS-CoV-2 has been found. The closest virus to SARS-CoV-2 is RaTG13, found in bats, but the two viruses are still genetically distinct.

2. The furin cleavage site, which allows the virus to efficiently infect human cells, is not found in most close relatives of SARS-CoV-2. Some virologists mentioned this was a sign of lab manipulation as early as 2021. Natural origin needs to show a jump path.

3. Wuhan, where the first cases of COVID-19 were detected, is over 1,000 kilometers away from the region where the closest bat coronaviruses were found. The market where the first cluster of cases was identified did not sell bats.
