> It takes control away from the owner of networks, even when we're the owner of those networks.

My point is that even when you are the owner of a network, you shouldn't have control of traffic on it between endpoints that you don't own either of.

> what happens when applications and Trojans start doing DoH lookups, skipping our system's configured DNS?

The Trojans could just hardcode the IP instead, so blocking DoH wouldn't magically guarantee you could catch them with DNS.

> So yes, your statement about control residing with the endpoints is correct, but DoH removes control, doesn't add it.

Which programs specifically don't let the user disable DoH? If none, then how does its presence remove control?

> For the case of "can't, because even if you change the setting, $evil_isp will hijack the queries anyway", that's FUD. There are many, many better ways to deal with evil ISPs.

Such as? How would you solve the specific problem of an evil ISP hijacking DNS?

> centralized entity like Cloudflare (who, by every right, are precisely in a position to be an evil ISP)

ISPs tend to have regional monopolies, but DoH servers don't. If Cloudflare becomes evil, you can just switch to some other DoH server.

> If you care to learn, consider things without DoH: you can edit your hosts file. You can choose your DNS servers. You can run a local recursive resolving DNS server. You can block ads and advertisingware using your DNS server and/or something like Pihole. You can block all DNS queries to the outside world on your network so that they all go through your own resolvers.

All but the last thing is still possible with DoH, and it's a good thing that it breaks the last thing, since doing that would affect other people's endpoints too.

> Next, consider a world where DoH is commonplace: you have no control over DNS lookups on your own system.

How do you figure? DoH is still configurable.

> Your only choice is to not run binaries that might do things you don't like.

I already don't.

> Want to block ads or adware, or adult sites, or conspiracy sites, or any of a number of other things on the Windows system that your child uses? Now Edge doesn't let you. Want to block the Trojans and phishing sites that Google serves through their ad network? Chrome doesn't let you.

Those are still easy: just point at a DoH server that does those blocks, the same way you'd point at an insecure DNS server that does them today.

> You can block common DoH servers, until Cloudflare puts them on the same address as the endpoints for their millions of hosting customers. But what happens when apps do DoH lookups using random Amazon AWS or Google Cloud servers? How do you block them? Do you block ALL https?

It's a good thing that network-level blocking of DoH is hard.

> You see, you'd give up freedom, and have everyone else give up their freedom, for some abstract "safety" from ISPs that use your DNS data. You'd apply a shitty fix for 1% of the people to 100% of the people, rather than create tools for the 1% to circumvent their evil ISPs.

What freedom am I giving up? What harm does DoH do to regular people?
Why AI is everything and nothing
I'm definitely not 40-hours-productive, and would love to go to a 4-day work week. But I think that a lot of down-time that I spend between tasks wouldn't go away, because my brain can't just switch contexts that quickly. Or maybe I'm waiting 15 minutes for my computer to run a job, and can't effectively work on some other task for that short of a time.
> Government spending on the other hand, is mostly decided by poor people (majority of voters)

Government spending is mostly decided by huge corporations, firstly the arms industry. If poor people controlled our budget we wouldn't have throngs of homeless people in every city in the country.
Someone I know worked at Lockheed and had every other Friday off and worked 9-5. Not quite a 4 day work week because half the smallish team needed to be on call Fridays.
Oh, I get it. I just find the parallel stories draw attention to the different experiences of Hawaii and PR (as the sibling post elucidates).
In my undergraduate engineering ethics class, our professor (who had an engineering and legal background) pointed this out in one of the first lectures and said “this is the first reason why I am not going to pretend to teach you ethics in this course. The second reason is that, even if there was clear set of ethics to follow, I am not going to pretend that this mandatory class will convince an unethical person to be ethical. What I will teach you is that decisions have consequences, and many of those consequences are bad for more than one party.”
Today we retire for 20 years and last 5 years are pretty horrible for most people.

Adding 10 years to retirement and 30 years to life span means maybe 15 years living with severe physical and mental degradation.

So even if we retire at 90, pension funds will become unsustainable.
What dollars?
I like how you broke this down - it’s really not that hard
Anyone have alt source, I can't access it
No, all US dollars are not created by the Fed. In fact, most US dollars in circulation have not been created by the Fed, but rather by private institutions. You get a mortgage from your bank? That's brand new dollars, never seen before.
There is much less variance on cognitive ability on the younger end of our lives than the higher end. Arbitrary age limits in youth are unfair, but less unfair than the same on the upper end of life.

I had a friend who remained sharp until her mid 90s. I have family members who shouldn't be voting in their early 70s. That range is massive, whereas we can mostly agree that nearly all 14 year olds aren't capable, but most 20 year olds are - unfair but not as vast a range.
Grifters moved on to AI, leaving only the actually viable parts of crypto around. So yeah cryptos are 100% dead.
This is a bad faith argument. You ought to know what the social and psychological effects of what you're defending. It isn't just informing people that a business exists. It's getting in the way of their normal routine to shove your capitalist crap in someone's face to buy. You don't stop random conversations to bring up products in normal conversation, so it has no place to interrupt conversation.

Advertising is fucking everywhere. I don't want to hear about new products and services because all of them literally just want your money. I'm not always shopping or looking for a product. I find navigating markets a massive ass pain.

We need legislation that forces advertising to the margins of society, where it belongs. We aren't just sacks of meat to be manipulated. There is nothing just about commercial communication having a louder voice than the people.

Here in AUS, essentially every single optometrist requires digital imaging.
Oh, and it’s subsidised by the government.You don’t pay a single cent for a prescription.
Bonus: If you have private optical health insurance it will likely cover two pairs of prescription glasses per year. Not too bad a deal if you ask me!

Sadly, the English language is not precise enough for me to express what I wanted in a compact way. Recently I have been learning Ukrainian and there is a language where it is easy to precisely express this kind of thought due to the many different forms of "and", word terminations indicating expected noun context, and different rules about punctuation.
> In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.[14] On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."

Yes, Ms. Baker, how can anyone support themselves and their family for a measly $2,458,350 a year?
Generally it is, and many cloud services do this, but the default Postgres packages for Linux/Mac/Windows do not iirc. And sometimes it's convenient to see things in your own time zone when querying manually.
McKinsey: Explore the Future of Work in Europe
Adding to other resources shared here, archaeologist Denise Schmandt-Besserat has written about the evolution of writing (not strictly the alphabet), and much is available online:
https://sites.utexas.edu/dsb/tokens/the-evolution-of-writing...
The roots of writing seems to be in counting/tallying marks, i.e. accounting. Another great book, "Against the Grain" by James Scott, describes how both tallying and writing developed hand-in-hand with the state.
Given that the device is plugged in, trusted, shows up as a computer, and requires external power, it has all the connections it needs spy on the screen (at minimum) and remote control the victim iPhone without permission in the worst case.

Kagi's FastGPT seems to have had this capability for a while. I'd noted a few days ago that a query I'd submitted turned up one of my own two-week-old HN comments amongst its references.

That's not "please find a website" but as a citation supporting its own findings. But either way, either the training set is quite recent or FastGPT conducts searches based on the query and/or results it generates. I suspect the latter.

The federal reserve being completely divorced from the government is intentional and a good thing. When you give the government the power of controlling the money, you get populist decisions that work in the short term while crippling the value of the dollar in the long term.

When you have banks that are incentivized to raise interest rates enough to make a ton of money but not enough to crash the economy, you keep the dollar as the strongest currency in the world. That's a good thing - the last thing I would want is for less free countries to expand their influence.
A midweek day off sounds pretty uninteresting relatively speaking. I'd much rather have (official) long weekends--though Fridays seem to be there in a lot of informal arrangements at many companies these days.
I have no idea why your blood seams to be boiling from my comment.

> Did you know that world nuclear stockpiles have shrunk dramatically in recent decades from ~70,000 warheads in 1986 to ~12,000 today?

No, and neither do you. The quality and quantity of nuclear arms is something that only people involved in military intelligence knows. I expect that arms continually become more and more lethal, whether the military communicates that or not.

> Would it affect your risk calculation if stockpiles had grown or spread?

What risk calculation? There's nothing I can do about the threat level of nuclear arms.

> If they are as safe as you claim, should numbers, actors, and locations even matter?

What is as safe as I claim? Nuclear arms?
If Apple even attempted to do whatever nonsense you're suggesting, their market share would plummet to zero very quickly. Users just won't accept not being able to use their devices as they see fit. All serious developers would leave and then all that left would be just an iPad with keyboard. And no platform ever survived without developers.

As a very longtime user, I can say that the progress has been noticeable to me, especially in the last year or two.

Having had a look at Element X (Android), it actually feels to me like that responsiveness is pretty much the last thing I was missing.

Oh, and the call bug already mentioned in the thread.

I'm really happy with Element and thankful for all the work you guys put into it.
Is that what happened with Netflix?
> The point isn't that you could work harder now with 5 days and do more; it's that you could be just as productive in 4 days as you currently are, which presumably is acceptable.

But that is just true if you are underperforming right now, or are too Conformable in a shitty job. There is always some doc too improve, some stack to update, a new issue to be fixed, a meeting that could be better prepared, a backlog to be improved.. People are just "if nobody says me what to do, then I can just slack off"

> The big question is, will people continue to slack off during work hours and lose productivity?

You will. No skin in the game, deliver or not deliver, there is mostly no consequence, boring work, company needs you.. I did the same. I was working 36 hours/week (friday free) until I realized, that there was a lot of things to do and to be done, but the team was just "naah, personal life FIRST".
What chance does a small team without a large amount of funding honestly have of competing with any of these businesses?

I'm trying to talk generally about the concept of monopolies in a supposed free market economy and the need for regulation.

Fundamentally, we don't necessarily need business to operate at the scale its grown to.

The only reason these businesses have grown so vastly is because it increases profit in the hands of fewer people.

We (as a society) can do better.

All the models are available on Huggingface, happy to answer any questions
I was surprised to see this in the WSJ at all. Obviously they did it so they could sow doubt. This entire article is likely PR for ActivTrak though:

"Many four-day-week employers don’t appear to be operating more efficiently, though, according to data from ActivTrak, a maker of workforce analytics software. Gabriela Mauch, vice president of ActivTrak’s productivity lab, suspects that is because management hasn’t revamped the way teams work."
> But very few people are actually in a position where they can't say no to the client (the lawyer being one of the few exceptions).

Yea, I agree with this. As the lawyer, when the court asks you your preferred dates for scheduling something, don't give them a Friday.

If the Court asks you to schedule something on a Friday, you could politely request it moved to another day. If the Court says: "too bad, this Court works Fridays, and I'm going to schedule something for Friday", then you show up on Friday. Exactly the same way that you would if the Court said: "I'm going to schedule something for a Saturday".
Same on both counts. MT_TF would be cool, but MTWT has big 'economies of scale' benefits and also reduces unexpected "asynchronous" PTO that we get every time someone wants to take a long weekend. Essentially, almost all of our "working days" should then be working days when we're all here.

Ideally though the 4-day program shouldn't be a thing only for specific teams because the "that team isn't here" side-eye quickly promotes resentment of the "lobsters pulling other lobsters back into the pot" variety.

Teams that need coverage during the full work-week (such as B2B support) should normalize having two schedules which overlap, just as B2C companies have weekend shifts (they don't just force people to work 7 days to achieve this).
Same! I noticed that with my previous iPhone also.

Related question (if you see this). I have started just cranking down the AC when I need to record something. Since annoyingly the iPhone will just stop recording with no notification. So if I have my phone mounted I may just loose some recording. Have you found a solution to this by chance?
Dunno. For a scam it's been held by an awful lot of central banks, for many decades, who you might think would figure these things out.

Re inflation it has historically been good at being fairly constant in value in real terms which is not usually what you actually want in an investment - you want them to go up.

Here's the famous graph from Stocks for the Long Run with the 200 year track record https://occaminvesting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Stoc...

That shows stocks as the best, though for a reasonably enterprising private investor rental property probably wins.

You're forgetting the case where the US dollar gets hyperinflated or highly inflated due to something like a debt crisis. Speaking of which...$33 trillion.

Most managers in most organizations *are* completely wasting a day a week. If they find that insulting, they should stop doing it.

I’m not a fan of rometty or ibm by any stretch, but maybe the correct perspective is that she did the least worst job possible (from the perspective of the share holders).

What I mean is, I doubt that anyone alive could have turned the ship around wholly. Maybe her job was just to squeeze as much milk out of the cow as possible while ibm slowly fades away.
Its not complicated though, The Federal Reserve a corporation run by a board of directors, those people decide how much money to make and who to give it to (mostly themselves/other bankers).
I mean, it wouldn't be bad if they solved cognitive decline, cancer, and biological aging (collagen, muscle, bone density loss, etc).

I wouldn't want to be 120, looking at folks who are 90. But being youthful till 120 or even until I choose it's time? That would be quite lovely.
This is absolutely the right direction to take. Ambitious programs are hollowed out since voters get angry and shift to conspiracy theories and populist parties to maintain their lavish lifestyle.

CO2 emissions worldwide are still growing every year. This is painful to watch as western countries have started programs for reduction a long time ago - but they are vaporized by the strongly growing emissions by Asian countries [1].

China has a very ambitious program and will likely peak in the coming years - not being bound by short-sighted election cycles. But India is another story.

We must all realize that within our lifetimes, we need a proscription on _extraction_ of fossil fuels. Otherwise it would be a laughable attempt to collect the damage after it has occurred. And most likely, this needs to be done through the court system.

This is pretty much how I work anyway as someone who technically should be working 5 8-hour days and I tell everyone on my team that I really don't care how much they're working as long as: their output is at least meeting expectations, they attend any meetings they're required to be at (although at this point it's almost only stand-up and 1:1s), and they handle on-call when it's their turn on the schedule (although we're a data team so the stakes are a bit lower in terms of incident response).

I usually start anywhere from 8-10, work until around 12-1, get some chores done/eat something/work out, work until around 4-6. Some days there's more in the tank or whatever problem is interesting and I can't put the laptop down. Some days I'm done by 3 pm because I'm not getting anything done. And sometimes it's like 8 pm on a Sunday and I have a great idea about how to solve something so I pick up the laptop.

To me it's the failure of our governments the fact that we're still discussing about a 32-hours work week, the processes have been evolving and have been optimised for the past couple of centuries, the value produced has seen an increased of a order of magnitude, but the benefits of it all has been squeezed from the working class into the pocket of a few individuals, I've broken my balls having to justify why we need shorter weeks, we could work 2 days and produce as much as it was produced 50 years ago, why do I have to have a life of misery always working, to not be able to afford even a house by myself, while these motherfuckers have everything and then tell me to work more, fucking capitalism, it's all useless existence and greed

I feel it insulting that we need justify keeping the level of productivity with a shorter working week, while the change in process and tooling that boosted productivity were never adopted to make the sake of the working class but for the benefit of the powerful, its time to make it a law

A lot of attention is given to CEO salary, but I see it as an indicator of more general largesse among management class. You have a massive class of dubious upper management pulling massive salaries. Also massive, nebulous marketing budgets. And a huge increase in real estate costs (rent).

All of which act as a massive tax on consumers.

People talk about inflation in the abstract but never consider where those additional costs are going. Increased rents, management comp, marketing are all huge costs that reflect in pricing.

I’m not prescribing government oversight on costs – actually the inverse. I think the debasing of currency allows for “legitimate” corruption like this.

Until someone approaches this as a class issue rather than an economic one, it will never be recognized or addressed.
