Time will tell. I think the answer is yet. I am inclined to avoid naming specific, relatively recent instances, but I think it would be fair to say that we're in a world with very high skepticism of the media and politicians have been taking that into account by claiming that the news is simply lying, that what they're reading is fake, etc.

I'd compare it more to VR than NFTs.

VR was a technology step that could have had interesting uses for a new experience, pumped up like crazy by VCs that just wanted a new hype train to fill with cheap money.

NFTs, at least most of them, were complete frauds from the beginning and only existed to scam users in what was basically a ponzi scheme.
Lego uses high quality plastic that last generations. I’ve handed down boxes to my kids and it will probably be handed down to theirs. Recycled plastic is lower quality.
I feel it's also a scaling issue: If you wanted to do all of the digital bookkeeping of today on paper, that would be perhaps impossible. I don't think personal note-taking is in any way a large contribution to paper use.

I do art on paper and even I don't go through 500 pages in a year. It's at work, things like 60 page reports that need to be printed for submission (and then get printed 2x or 3x again because you can replicate it).

The ease of printing documents is the culprit, you can just replicate large physical artifacts again and again. You can't do that with your personal notes that probably only exist as unique artifacts and maybe get scanned into a digital archive.
No. For the same reason you cannot run Windows containers on Linux. You need a working macOS kernel.
> I wonder if cynicism has won. It seems to me that those that rule this world are unjust tyrants. And most of simply don’t give a shit.

I think your take is not well thought through. Spain is an independent nation, just like Israel. Spain has absolutely no jurisdiction over Israeli citizens or companies, and vice versa. If Spain and Israel haven't signed any agreement to cooperate in this subject, all Spain can do is ask nicely without expecting any response.

Being independent or legally bound to reply to a foreign government's requests is not tyranny.

It’s about different data caps for different services. It’s favoring one service over another. Especially when many of those services are owned by the same company that owns the ISP, it’s completely anti-competitive.

When your new high bandwidth service counts against a customer’s data cap, but your Comcast owned competitor’s data doesn’t, how are you supposed to fairly compete?
This again? They pointed out posts they believed violated places like Twitter's TOS and in the case of Twitter most of the time Twitter left them up and took no action against the material. A pretty shoddy censorship campaign in my opinion, it was blown up by Elon and the partisan actors he released the data to to support a political point they've been griping about for ages.

> know exactly what all those codes mean and their actual costs.

Why would you need to know? How does it help knowing the actual cost vs what your out-of-pocket expenses?

You get $FOO as the code and $BAR as the cost. That lets the market discover, over time, which providers are charging $BAR+$EXTRA, which insurances only cover $BAR-$uncovered.

You can't have price discovery if the purchaser is not able to determine what the price is at the point of payment. If you have a better proposal for determining what the market will bear, lets hear it.

I'm not sure where you're going with this line of questions, but the impression I get from your comments are "People will find it too confusing to know how much they are are purchasing something for - let them only discover the price of the purchase after they have already bought it".

TBH, it's never a good idea to reveal the purchase price of something only after the purchase is made. There is no justification for it.
BT Openreach also seems to be getting away with an unjustified price structure too. ADSL established a precedent for upload speeds being far slower than download speeds, and this has been continued with FTTC and is being continued with FTTP.

There are a lot of good uses cases for faster uploads (backup to cloud, home servers, maybe things like video conferencing) and much less gain from faster downloads (except allowing websites to be even more bloated and more HD video to watch on smartphones)
You can also turn your phone into a CCTV camera and yet a city where the state has 1 million surveillance cameras is qualitatively different to your homegrown back garden solution.
How do you socialise? Do you have a zoom call with them over lunch when everyone eats together? If you need to draw something in a piece of paper to explain a concept or how a function behaves, how do you do that? Do you share your screen and draw everything with your mouse? If you want to show someone something you're writing do you start a call and share your screen with them? Then how do you and they point to stuff? What if they want to type in something? Do they just dictate?

It's obviously all doable, but some people find that setup impersonal and annoying. Meanwhile, I have no trouble going to the office. It's nice to get out of the house, walk a bit. See other people going to work as well in the public transport. It all feels good to me.
Such a shame too as the point would be equally valid without the graph-lies.
> they still regularly issue 9 or 10 figure fines to US tech companies.

Its not a conspiracy. US tech companies just keep blatantly disobeying EU law regarding personal data. A few years ago GDPR fines were so low many companies just paid them rather than comply with the law. It makes sense if the fines are much bigger now - large fines are (apparently) needed to bring companies to heel.

If you want to avoid the fines, try complying with the law.

I know people complain about the GDPR, but the requirements seems much less obnoxious to me than what adtech companies keep doing. I don't want facebook and friends to track me all over the web and sell that information to the highest bidder. I'm with the EU - these practices should be illegal.

Ask HN: Have you been affected by layoffs?
Hello,

1. Have you ever been laid off from a job for reasons that were not related to your performance?

2. Did this affect your job search / career afterwards?

3. Do you feel that being laid off from a job prevented you from recovering due to social stigma around being under / unemployed?

Context:

Yesterday I made a comment about layoffs, corporate ethics and the behavior of C-level folks as it affects the working population. I respect the comment I made wasn't helpful, but I do think there is a meaningful conversation to be had about the topic. I hope this can lead to more constructive criticism about the actual subject, which is how layoffs affect people beyond the job they are immediately losing.
Is someone trying to karma farm with gpt bots with a prompt like "Write a reddit-style pun comment given this submission title: <insert title>"? I've noticed a lot of these recently popping up in almost every thread. Would be nice if those would be removed entirely, otherwise actual people will start spamming those.
To me, at least, you and even MBAs that like Unity's behavior are welcome here. It's essential to understand broad perspectives, especially the ones I dislike.
> Why do you think it's impossible to regulate?

There are three reasons:

- once it's widespread - it's a standard (targeted ads, cookie tracking, SEO)

- we'd need a lot of infrastructure to track all the data recorded, where it goes, how it is processed, etc. etc.. And if a big company is caught.. they'll pay fines for being caught and let away to continue the same shady practices, as we have seen with privacy scandals at Facebook.

> ...but lots of terrible things people used to do got outlawed eventually.

That's the third reason - surveillance is evil and bad, but it will never be advertised as that. It will be something good and convenient with a surveillance as a side effect, similar to social media and smart appliances.

Maybe, I am just too pessimistic and you're right with: 'This process seems slow compared to a human lifespan'.
I would love this. Right now I am running a service that sends email. For cost reasons I try to do this directly. It works surprisingly well even from cloud-provider IP addresses. Most providers quickly learn to trust my domain. But there are some big players that have an outright block on public cloud ranges (notably Microsoft and Apple). I end up needing to use a relay for these, but I would prefer not to give the relay a DKIM key or allow it to munge my messages.

This mostly works today, for example SES allows the origin to sign messages (although as of a few months ago I started hitting an SES bug where they modify a header field that they said they wouldn't, breaking the signature) and there are a few other providers that allow this capability as well.

However I basically still need to mark them as trusted in the SPF record otherwise the spam score goes up. This effectively allows them to spoof messages from my domain. I would love to close off this loophole.

It also isn't great with sending from public cloud VM instances either since I have to update the SPF record with the changing IPs and DNS caching can cause false fails (if a new instance sends mail before the cache is refreshed) and false passes (if the old IP gets reused for a different customer before the cache expires).

Yeah, I know. I should just rent a public IP. But that raises costs and would require me to raise my prices. Especially at the current small scale.

I find it fascinating that certain circles (cultures?) consider it a failure if your tech company doesn’t get a round of funding from the most “prestigious” SC VC firm.

Currently working in one of those tech companies right now, has made me appreciate my friend’s bootstrapped tech company, as it can evolve naturally with common sense decision making.

Edit: there was an article posted on HN two years ago or so about a SV tech founder coming to this exact realization after having laid off all his employees because he couldn’t get the next round of funding. I felt sorry for him and all others who were/will be in the position.
Isn’t this a problem? Someone can take an actual clip of a speech but because it’s not signed by the speaker no matter how bad the speech, it could be declared inauthentic or deepfake because it has no signature?

For example the whitehouse is known to revise the text of the president’s speeches when he says the wrong thing. If we only have officially released videos where the gaffes and fables are left out, how is anyone to know what he actually said?
Where did OP state that he hated jews? Is the Israeli government synonymous with Jewish people now? I have a lot of respect for Jewish people but a lot of resentment towards the Israeli government, as well as many Israelis.

What would the counterpart be if a product was found not to be complying with hardware regulations, such as an electronics device that was found to be a fire risk? Who gets penalised/fined, the seller, the importer, the company who made it or all three? I don't know, but if it's the importer or seller then Apple/Google should absolutely be made to regulate this in some way seeing as though they are taking on that role in the pipeline.
I have had sweaty hands my entire life. Pen and paper can be frustrating when your paper gets soaked and you cannot write on it any longer, the ink smears from your hands, etc. I don't want to wear a glove every time I want to write something.

Paper Notebooks vs. Mobile Devices: Brain Activation Diffs During Mem Retrieval
Turning an agency into a SaaS is a often-sought dream for those in the agency space (because it's tiring to keep the sales machine going, handle clients and their needs, constantly put out fires, etc etc etc). Grats on getting a SaaS out of it!

I think from a bootstrappers perspective, there are two things to take from this:

1. Having a source of income that gives you the "margins" to also do a SaaS (time and money) is a big, important (almost required) factor
2. This might be an outlier - Not a lot of agency owners successfully convert over to a SaaS - both because SaaS is hard-mode business and because agency life is so distracting with the aforementioned work native to agency-style business.

Just because you see a need as an agency doesn't mean customers will pay for the SaaS version of the "thing" that fulfills that need. Flagsmith appears to have found a product that is a SaaS that people pay for.

A question on their distribution: I wonder what their customer acquisition story is - is it from their agency work (self-referrals) or what?

I knew someone who worked at NSO, and if I recall correctly, they required security clearance from employees (doesn't really mean much / I don't know what kind of clearance was required). It also doesn't mean they are a government body or are directly controlled by the government, but it could indicate that they are (but, most likely, they ask for it because they have government contracts that require it).

Not saying this has to have any implications for Spanish Jews. Just not sure how actually "private" they are.
Repeated use of the term "whistleblower" throughout with a trust-me-bro reference to "dozens" gives a partisan slant to this article I think; it's definitely trying to push the narrative of cover-up.

A good line of questioning is to explore the constants that arise in physics, of which there are nineteen[3].

E.g. "Why is the speed of light what it is?".

~300,000,000 meters per second. But the definition of a meter is actually defined by the speed of light, so this number is very human-math-specific.

So instead, you want to look at the speed of light in terms of other physical constants to find a "dimensionless" constant.

This leads us to the fine-structure constant[1], which is a single number that pops out when you relate a few of these experimentally measured constants to each other.

0.0072973525693 ≃ 1/137

This is a number that if any different would mean the universe would not exist in the way it does.

Something very human is the notion of "1". Counting things is very important to intelligent life.

I was thinking the other day, about the world from the perspective of a tree. It doesn't care about counting things. So "1" is irrelevant to it. It's an invented concept by humans.

And most of our mathematical thinking is based around this.

There could be an infinitely deeper and more complicated maths to explain things.

It's like looking at a leaf without a microscope to figure out biological processes. Until the 1600s, biologists could only study what their eyes could see.

All this quantum randomness feels like we are still just looking at a leaf with our eyes.

Not that I know of. What I don't know and which might make a difference is when evicting to disk, zswap decompresses and swaps to disk uncompressed† as if swap wasn't there, while macOS might (or might not) disk-swap it compressed (so, a bit by bit copy), minimising CPU, IO, and size (and wear for SSDs) at the cost of decompressing when paging it in again.

† Unless the underlying block device backing the swap device or file does transparent compression, in which case it gets decompressed by zswap then compressed by whatever (e.g LVM compression).
Digitally these should be equivalent. Physically, I'd assume it's just as likely that adding CMY pigments would dilute the K and make it less purely black - but, per link you shared, it seems it's the opposite, and I didn't even realize this is an actual technique. Thanks for posting!

Humans don't spend 18+ years preparing how to lower a seat post or drive a truck or even do pretty much most jobs. No one is solely training for 18 years to do anything.

Most of those 18 years are having a fucking great time (being young is freakin awesome) and living a great life is never a waste or a negative ecological footprint.

Society artificially slows education down so it takes 18 years to finish school because parents need to be off at work, so 18 years of baby sitting is preferred. By 18, kids are at the age where they will no longer be told what to do so it's off to the next waste of time, college, then 30 years of staring at a blinking box...or whatever.

When I was 12, I decided I wanted to drive a car, I'd never driven a car in my life, but I took my parents car and drove it around wherever I liked with absolutely no issue or prior instruction. I did this for years.

With sufficiently fast mobile internet, there is no more need to be digging and drilling to pull cables through roads and buildings

(I’ve been using a 4G/5G dongle as my primary internet access for the past 4 years because the council is perpetually “3-6 months away” from bringing a fibre connection to my street. 4G was pretty painful, but 5G is actually just-about-tolerable by my gamer-nerd standards, and the less-technical friends and family who visit my house don’t even notice. Maybe the 20ms pings with occasional 100ms spikes is too much for professional-level FPS competitions, but I’m happy to chill out in the silver leagues so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
These technologies all commodities spying, making it viable when you couldn't send a person to do the spying.

I live in a rural area. The government would never bother to send someone to spy on me here, I can't imagine they suspect me of anything important enough to spend resources on me. But they can spy on me digitally for a very low cost and with little or no humna resources. Even better for them, they can spy on me digitally without cause and dump the data in storage in case they ever want to pull it up later.
It cuts both ways. We don't trust the media, and we don't trust the politicians. So when a politician says that the media is lying, we tend to believe whatever we want to believe.

The loss of truth is a serious thing for a society. (Yes, back in the Walter Cronkite days we had less truth than we thought we did. We had more agreed-upon truth that matched reality than we do today, though, and I think the difference matters.)
