>In that example, would the person not have just left a message, “Hi it’s Name, please call me back right away”?

Sure, but whether or not that suffices for someone is pretty circumstantial.

Like I said, I don't disagree with your general sentiment, just the absolute. And hey, change happens, c'est la vie.
The pre-progessive left had a better policy. They neither infantilized nor fetishized those people. They tried to form a bloc to protect their jobs and send their kids to college. Is the lower middle class a dangerous potential axis of fascism in a de-industrializing society? Fuck yeah it is. They're the most prone to anti-democratic rhetoric. What's your solution then? Act like they don't exist?
You recall wrong. Public museums in NYC have always been pay-as-you-wish, but began charging non-New York residents a mandatory fee in 2018.
So much so that publishers created special law to make unpaid snippets illegal in the context of global search engines, specifically to target Google, outside of copyright. Happened in the EU, Canada (I think) and Australia.
Complaining about the degradation of the public realm, while simulatanously degrading the vernacular. There's all kinds of vulgar words we could turn into edgy verbs, but I hope we don't.

It just took some years for the technology to be opened up with the Custom Elements API to us mortals here in Userland.
In response to my earlier comment, the answer is yes. The Tate is a non-departmental public body sponsored by DCMS (and it seems like other museums such as NHM in London have the same structure).
Yes, I’ve used Libby and OverDrive at various points. It’s pretty hard to avoid them if one frequents a library at all. Since, you know, the whole monopoly thing.

I don’t believe I ever told you how to feel about your UX with these. . . hmm, I guess “products”? If we’re not calling them apps.

The focus of the major American Museum has become the same focus that, unfortunately, has overtaken a lot of other non-profits. It's not to show a collection. It's to make money.

And they dump a lot of resources in the marketing, fundraising and consultants, and blame 'wages' of the people who make 45k with, maybe, 2% yearly increases, when they jack up the prices.

I just watched a programme on TV that is pretty popular right now in some countries where they drop a couple of naked people into the middle of nowhere and they need to survive for 21 days.
It's pretty eye-opening to be honest, to see how detached we became from nature.
I think it has everything to do with modern capitalism. The recent playbook is not "make a good product, sell it for more than you make", but more like "give away a product for free until you're a near monopoly, then start turning the screws on your customers". It's hard not to "put up with bad platforms and products" when your family, friends, and sometimes local city services are all using those platforms. And why are they using those platforms? Because they were initially attracted to the platform when it was good - i.e. before it started monetizing like crazy.
Ain't never gonna be a "no more." That's not how biology or statistics work.
> acts that are neither intentional, reckless, nor even negligent

This point we disagree on. Wage theft is almost always intentional, always reckless, and should be considered negligent as a default.

Wage theft is one of the places where I am okay with guilty until proven innocent because of the huge power disparity between the affected parties.
It's perhaps not as life-changing as some of the sibling replies but one thing that has really amazed me over the past few decades is how much lighting has progressed.

When I was a kid in the 90's I already enjoyed electricity and electronics and I would play with those low power incandescent lightbulbs powered by 9V batteries. They would generate a lot of heat and very little light, to the point that it wasn't easy to tell if it was on when the sun was bright.

With a modern LED and the same setup you could generate enough light to blind yourself.
While I would love to hear this from an Argentine's POV rather than speculation on why this is happening.. my guess - this is the closest to get a USD exchange for the local populace without having to go through the regulatory hurdles.
It's more efficient than trying to put a billion people (give or take a couple) to the guillotine or the electrical chair, and the side effect of nuclear winter didn't seem that bad to me given the context. Might cause some food shortages though
>Other side of the problem is, we just haven’t been able to come up with a better economic system

We just haven't applied one. And we've dismantled (or witness the dismantling) of dozens of better attributes the current one used to have (from unions to Glass–Steagall).

There's nothing special that needs some novel invention.
So how sure are we that this isn't yet another in a long line of disappointments?
No. You can't float a magnet over your head. Unless you're this person

I'm not going to argue with someone who has been on HN for so long "but never seen it", because that likely means you're one of those people who will argue indefinitely that "questioning biological gender" isn't transphobia, and that transphobic discussions just... aren't!

it's there, I urge you to be aware of it in the future and not harass people who are making others aware of it. and absolutely don't tell people that they're wrong for the transphobia they have often EXPERIENCED. (And no, you don't get to ask trans people to bring out the receipts of their trauma, wtf?)

Just a few weeks ago, I tried playing a Japanese game that I was interested in, but it didn't even get past the start menu. Not a big deal for me as I'm not an avid gamer, I just moved on.

But imagine telling a hardcore gamer that no, you can't play that new game released an hour ago. Maybe it'll become compatible a few months later, maybe not.

Or tell a professional artist that no, they can't use that art software anymore, they have to retrain their entire skillset with an entirely different software.

Now that's a show-stopper. For most people, it's 100% compatibility or bust.
> it's hard not to believe that there are SOME manipulation going on again

Not at all, it's actually really rational. We all optimized for money for as long as we could. Because if you have more money, you can have more things and more power.

Then we slowly realized that by doing that, we are killing ourselves. And we don't have much time left to save what can be saved.

Now the situation is actually so bad that many people just can't face the truth and prefer to doubt it. Until they see the consequences, which will quickly go towards global instability (think billions of climate refugees), poverty and famine.

Of course it's not fun. But it is pretty clear and backed by science.
From Hong Kong, I have a mixed feeling for this. UK made everyone of us to apply for a Hong Kong ID since 50 years ago, but when I come to UK it is way worse because UK doesn’t have a National ID while relying on every private entity to verify your identification.

So unless private collection of personal data is completely illegal, I’d rather have a centralised ID system instead
A literal toaster can reason better than a lot of undergraduate college students… I’m not sure this says as much about the state of GPT-3 as it does about the state of college education in America.
This simply isn't true outside of a relatively narrow window of time when very few could afford to travel anyway. Go back much past into the 1800s and beyond and you couldn't travel even within your own country without permission. In much of Europe for most of the medieval and early modern era laborers needed traveling papers granting permission just to leave their own village. In general people tended to be suspicious of visitors without a good reason to be there. Being exiled used to be quite a serious punishment.
Marketing and industry trends play a part in this. There is a big difference between "nobody cares about X at all" and "nobody cares about X enough, in isolation, to base their entire purchasing decision on it"

For instance, Apple tends to drive how mobile phones look and what external features they have even if their changes are objective steps backwards in functionality. People generally liked headphone jacks, but not enough to cut themselves off from flagship devices. There is no way to make an apples-to-apples comparison since usually there are never two devices whose literal only difference is the specific feature under discussion.
And you know that because you talked to every person ever changing partners? Snark semi intended.
Very fixable but something about reading strategies for proper use of the phone makes me really angry. It’s on me to be on guard and suspicious at all times instead of using the phone to make calls and not thinking about it besides that. Every way I can communicate is out to get me!
Coming enshittification? Really? Then what the hell has been happening there for the past three decades if not enshittification.
That's a good point. Basically the only thing you could do to restore integrity of the system would be to use a more accurate sensor and re-register the people (and even then you have to take care that you don't accept faked data from the leak).
The Guggenheim is a private museum. Public museums in NYC are pay-as-you-wish, but began charging non-New York residents a mandatory fee in 2018.
Another thing that will come with age is that making predictions about tech is generally a bad idea. Or at least often doesn't pan out favorably. See Web 3.0 and Crypto.

Regarding what is wise/not wise to learn. Do what feels right and what makes you happy today. You like webdev and the framework-on-framework-on-framework-on-framework-on-dom-on-jit development? Go for it! You like iOS development? Do that.

You can make money either way and earn a comfortable living with experience. The market is wider for "webdev" (too broad of a term encompassing too many technologies) than it is iOS. Your generic run of the mill company may need a webdev, but far fewer are going to need an iOS dev.

If your goal is money and to screw the rest of life and relationships, just look at job postings today and see what the rate is.

Anyway, you're (probably) too young to worry about "what about 10, 20, 30 years from now?" questions. When I was young the Internet didn't seem much more than Compuserve, AOL, and refdesk.com. Could I have predicted that the web would be what it is today? Absolutely not :-)

I'm the creator of Unicorn, so this is neat to see it on Hacker News again. I've been working on Unicorn nights and weekends since July 2020, slowly adding in new functionality and improving it. I have a conference talk explaining the origins a little bit: https://github.com/adamghill/djangocon-eu-2021-conference-ta....

I never expected Unicorn to completely replace larger SPA frameworks, but I have found it solves for most of the use cases I need for my sites.

Thanks for checking it out -- all PRs are greatly appreciated to add new features or fix bugs!

Gonna be honest there are other people/places to blame. I'm not saying your target is or isn't a contributor to the issue, but they really aren't the biggest factor.
It's true. Getting expensive veneers, working out, and wearing lifts to bring me up to 6' means I'm treated like a member of a different species - most especially by women. It's truly been a life-changing transition.

I know a lot of guys who believe that their life could have been completely different if they were a little taller or had a bit more hair. Perhaps it's not popular to point out, but I think they're absolutely right. Physiognomy is important and moving from average to somewhat-attractive will change every aspect of one's life.
You'll find, as I have, that laptops and Linux distributions/DEs don't always play well together (lid closing/reopening, suspend/hibernate, keyboard backlight, function key alternate media controls, trackpad, etc). It's sometimes a shot in the dark if not buying from a company that helps guarantee Linux support/compatibility for all the hardware in the system (Dell XPS 13 plus developer, System 76, etc).

That's great there was a tutorial that got everything working well, especially for your specific setup! I'm also now running Linux as my only operating system on my gaming desktop machine (I run Arch, btw ;D ). Steam/Proton and Lutris make gaming a relative cinch now, and I've been hoping for this since I first started with Linux in 1999.

Not a lawyer nor even current on this, but from what I remember:
In most of the world, if you sell a book or other physical media, the original manufacturer can't put meaningful restrictions on your resale of that product. This is a bit different with e-books, audiobooks, some kind of cloud software, etc., and to a great degree a lot of SAAS and software licensing as subscription vs. product is contributing to the demise of software resale. You can't resell Steam games or other stuff linked to your game; you used to have a pretty robust market for renting or second-hand selling movies on physical media, video games, etc.

There were weird games around VHS recordings of designed-for-rental being sold at $250/ea back in the 1980s, with the intended market being video rental shops charging $5/rental and doing 100 rentals to recoup their cost, before a few months/years later the prices for the movie dropped to $20-50 for individual users to buy. Video games usually were expensive up front for hot titles and cheaper later, but rental was a smaller fraction of the market -- with prerecorded video cassettes, rental was the primary market for new releases.

Japan has never (well, since 1868 and probably later -- not sure of when this originated) had this, so a product couldn't be resold. This probably lowers the initial price of some media somewhat (since the author/publisher can depend on future sales, vs. secondary market), but unclear how much of an impact it really has.

(This is all my memory from ~2000 when I ran an offshore datahaven and was at a Billboard music industry conference as they were trying to kill Napster; I assume things haven't changed that much except for the proliferation of subscription services, but it's possible laws have changed too.)
I have been doing this for years and it creates a steady stream of problems when people change numbers without telling me. The spam situation is so apocalyptic that I deal with these problems as the lesser evil, but it seems very weird to present this as a "fix" rather than a steep tradeoff that might work for some people.

Magnus Carlson said that if you tell him there’s a winning move on a chess board he could find it very quickly, because his focus becomes extremely narrow.

I wonder if something similar is happening here. Since the scope was defined as LK-99, it becomes a narrow query instead of a broad one.
Literally just not gratuitiously using a swear word in the central concept you're trying to spread. That's the biggest first step, which alone would accomplish a lot.

That's the whole point of the root comment.

Easy isn't the same thing as not hard. Not being an ass shouldn't be that hard, finding a fulfilling relationship so is not easy.

And no, it is not easy for me neither, if it wasn't for my now wife when we first met, we wouldn't be together now, forst steps and all that crap. The we didn't beak up so, well, that is on both of us.

People tend to over complicate the first step thing so. Just be reepsectful and nice, accept a no, and a date will ultimately follow. Because the opposite sex wants a date, maybe not with you but still, as well. Just don't spray and pray, that approach doesn't work with job applications, it worls even less with dating.
Unless it was a recent incident, you should probably see a doctor about getting those stitches removed.
Suppose an impersonator has compromised a persons private key associated with a biometric identity. So 2 parties are claiming to be the real person. Then all that needs to happen is for both parties to regenerate their keypairs, and re-appear in person, check the biometric in person, and the impersonator won't even show up.

Quite often, colorized pics and movies have people wear blue-ish clothing, which is fairly unbelievable. It's a gimmick that produces an effect that's not quite right for a goal for which it's not suitable. Because what is it that colorizations try to achieve? To make people think "Oh, so that's how it looked back then"? Then there shouldn't be errors in the image. And if it makes the pictures more relatable, or whatever handwaivy arguments are being thrown around, then non-colorized pictures will become even less relatable, in effect alienating people from recent history (if you believe such arguments).

I'd like to make one exception, though, for They Shall not Grow Old. That was impressive.

Skill issue. But I also agree. It's crazy fast.
Yeah, that’s the thing about the current arrangement: all this material wealth and “progress” and yet we’re observing increasing numbers of the unhappy, depressed and aggrieved.

Men and women blaming each other for conditions that—not necessarily individually but as groups—are beyond their control.

As soon as societies become wealthy, couples have less children.

There’s one wealthy country that (for the time being at least) seems to reproduce: Israel. Yes, even the secular (though barely so). We’ll see how that develops.

> we have lowered the bar to app creation so far that a person can now create and market an app faster than they can evaluate and understand the existing options

I don’t understand the unnecessary gate keeping here. There is no imaginary bar that someone should hit before sharing something they created. Who cares how it was made? If someone made something and it’s gets attention, that’s already enough merit for the post itself.

Sharing things people create should always be encouraged. If something isn’t “worthy” of your made-up standards, then move on. There’s really no reason to bring someone down for it.
We will also have eternal opposition activists and leaders. The effects of immortality on politics will fall on everyone equally.
Yeah but companies aren't thinking entities themselves; the decisions "a company" makes is just the decisions of the leadership (a group of people) of the company. The end results are then the actions carried out by the people of that company following the decisions of the leadership.

Its all people, all the way down.
NYT should do a little better here. A table, graph, or perhaps a map showing this rising trend would be much more interesting. Also, free museums still exist in the DC area. I don't know of other 100% free museums, but I'm sure they exist.

> There is no scientific evidence to support that there is some underlying, persisting system that drives consciousness - literally everything points to consciousness being driven by brain activity.

Similarly, there's no scientific consensus on what consciousness even is. Neuroscience has some idea (e.g. "its related to brain activity") but that's it. The psychologists, in typical psychological fashion, have even less of an idea.

That's not to say the lack of evidence proves that your consciousness ascends to a higher plane after you die. Simply a fact that _consciousness_ is one of the millennium problems of brain science. You cannot tell yourself apart from a well programmed LLM. Does this imply the LLM is conscious? Well according to the Chinese Room Argument the answer is no. In a practical sense, your argument is leading you to that conclusion. In that case, the view is that people are just deterministic meat robots with some randomness component is probably accurate. However, even for stanch atheist the idea that they are nothing more than a deterministic meat computer featuring programmed self-death is understandably disturbing. It's hard to separate the thought of death (and your ideas around it) from your own self-preservation mechanism.

The next 100 years of neuroscience will be very interesting.
Coming enshittification? Seriously? Where has the author been for the past three decades as public libraries have quite literally debased themselves to chase some modicum of appeal to some nebulous concept of modern generations instead of being what they were and should always remain - public resources for knowledge? Where has the author been when libraries started giving more of a crap about politics than the appeal of their own, er, library? When they killed the user experience of their catalogues in the move away from cards and terminals over to sql databases and crappy websites? The user experience of libraries has been going downhill for at least that long, if not longer.
