I used to work 5 days a week, 9 am to 2pm. I quite liked it, but my employer would often call or ask for "urgent" stuff to be down after my hours, which meant I could not be fully present for family or whatever I had planned. I have now switched to a 3 days workweek at another job, and I find it much easier to set effective boundaries. If I'm not there I'm not there and that's it. I don't think I could ever go back to working 40 hour weeks to be honest. When do you get anything personal done?

1. God invented Humans (HaShem and the Almighty also credited). Humans has always been a gods' creation.

2. Having invented Humans, God then assigned to Them their own powers of creation. […]

3. Having projected thought onto a non-divinity and invented entity, Gods then subordinate themselves to it. Endowing their own creation with a specious authority, they take themselves to be lesser than it.

4. People make capital. Everything that counts as capital is a human creation. […]

5. Having created capital, people then assign to it the powers of creation. […]

6. Once the creative powers of work get misassigned to capital, actual workers are made subordinate to it. A created thing that lacks the powers to create is taken to be the all-creative thing and so allowed to lord it over the real creators.

Doesn't change much sadly except maybe ramming home we were made in a divinity's image.

If you own a mainstream android device, you're probably not going to ever have to.

If you have something a little weirder, the app store often will not let you install an app which doesn't state compatibility. Sideloading the APK more often than not works fine.

Also, there's alternative sources like F-Droid which have stuff you can't get in the Google app store - ad-free Youtube apps - that will never be allowed on the Google app store.
Aligning related nodes regardless of the arcs between them is a big plus, and if ML can infer that automatically from case to case, it's probably worth considering using it for layout.

While the Greeks have invented the most significant improvement of the writing system, after that when some Semitic people have simplified the Egyptian writing system by eliminating all the multi-consonant signs, any discussion about the Greek alphabet cannot omit the fact that they did not invent the alphabet, but they have only improved the Phoenician alphabet, by reusing signs corresponding to consonants not used in Greek to write the Greek vowels.

This was a huge advance, but it cannot be named as "inventing the alphabet".

I feel the same. If I work 5 days I'd feel like I'm wasting so much time, when realistically I can do the same amount of work in 4 days. I'm working as a developer so it's also about retaining my attention span. I just can't do it for 5 days straight anymore.

My perfect 4-day workweek is having the Wednesday off so I have a 'mini-weekend' in my week. I only ever have to work 1 more day until I have some time to clear my head, make some music, etc. It feels like a more healthy work/life balance. And I feel sharper after a day off.
The zero interest rate comment has nothing to do with morality, it means that people were doing incredibly goofy, risky shit to get a return, which creates ripe ground for conmen and fraud.
Not to mention this discounts the human cost. Marketers who have to wait 9 months to get anything done, and are forbidden from doing work themselves, realize the company doesn't actually care about accomplishing things and the passion dies. Why bother trying to come up with new and innovative things to test that could move the needle if its a kafkaesque nightmare every time?
What key breach?
Trailblazing Senator Dianne Feinstein Passes Away at 90
Trailblazing Senator Dianne Feinstein Passes Away at 90. [1][2]

Feinstein's legacy of Bipartisanship and Public Service

Trailblazing Senator Dianne Feinstein passed away at her residence in Washington DC, at the age of 90.

Born in 1933, her political career didn't hit its stride until 36 years later. First she earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Stanford University, where she was active in student government, earning her degree in 1955. Staying active in local politics in San Francisco, she served on the California Women's Board of Terms and Parole from 1960 to 1966, dealing with issues of justice and corrections.

Her political journey began in earnest in 1969 when she was elected to the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors. She broke barriers in 1978 when she became San Francisco's first female mayor, following the tragic assassination of both her predecessor George Moscone and city councilman Harvey Milk. These events made her a vocal advocate for gun control. She enacted the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994.

Feinstein became the first female member of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1993 and the first female chair of the Senate Rules Committee in 2007. She became the first woman to chair the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2009. Her pursuit of fairness, transparency, and the humane rule of law allowed her to lead an extensive review of contentious interrogation programs introduced in the aftermath of 9/11. She outlawed the use of enhanced interrogation techniques under the McCain-Feinstein Anti-Torture Amendment, which passed by a vote of 78-21 in 2015.

In her every appearance in the news, Senator Feinstein has been regarded as both a pillar and an institution.

Her passing has evoked a united front of respect and admiration that transcends political affiliations. President Joe Biden honored her as a "pioneering American" and a "true trailblazer", noting her role as a mentor to many public servants. California Democrat Nancy Pelosi lauded Feinstein's "unmatched courage, poise, and grace", acknowledging her inspirational role for future generations of women in public service. Republican Leader Mitch McConnell also paid his respects, speaking about her effectiveness and praising her groundbreaking contributions to the nation.

She is survived by her daughter, Katherine. California Governor Gavin Newsom will appoint her successor.

In unrelated news, the U.S. government is heading for an indefinite shutdown starting September 30th, 2023, the day after her passing. As senators try to unite and address the immediate challenges facing America, they would do well to keep in mind Feinstein's legacy: collaboration and respect across the aisle, and a lifelong dedication to public service.

> $650k a year is what, VP salary in some no-name hedge fund or private equity firm? Small business CEOs are making more than that.

$650k is sub-exec management in much of corporate America now. Especially in tech.

Europe has a different cultural range around employee compensation. I haven't been able to determine why that is the case.
Tin foil hat time: I've started writing down companies behind ads that happen to slip through my defenses that are obnoxious/offensive/etc. Because, as you mention, so much of advertising is psychological manipulation. It'll be helpful to have a list of offenders to reference to before making a purchase for example.

The idea occurred to me after someone here proclaimed that they're simply unaffected by ads, reasoning they don't make rash purchases. Someone naturally countered with the extreme subconscious effect of ads.

This list thing is imperfect (I mean look how omnipresent car logos are for example) but it's an improvement from thinking you're immune to ads. Memory is fickle, and why Memento is my favorite movie.

Sure, so what's the development velocity now and did it increase recently? And for when is an actual usable version planned? Alongside GNU Hurd?
It sounds like your workloads need that kind of flexibility and using a cloud provider makes total sense. My point is a lot of deployments most likely don't have those requirements (and never will) and there are way more cost effective means run them.
1. Pure gold will react with mercury and halogens. Yes, pure gold does "rot", just at lower rate, but still happens.

Not sure about “technically” or what the legal situation is. In practice, I know consumer smartphones in the US use a combination of all 4 constellations for positioning. If you have Android, you can easily verify this using various apps. If you're on the west coast (California Bay Area, at least), you can even receive unreliable signals from one or two Japanese QZSS satellites, which are supposed to be regional over the Asia-Oceania region. You can even see a few SBAS satellites (mainly used in aviation.)

People own their networks when they're not out in public. Again, solving for a problem with public networks by forcing shortcomings on to all networks is shortsighted and ill conceived.

"But it's not a good reason to make MITM possible" is disingenuous. Avoiding DoH doesn't make MITM possible, just as adding DoH doesn't save us from MITM. It does, though, save apps / Trojans from MITM, particularly when we're the ones who want to be in the middle :P

"That's blatantly false for normal endpoints though. Be it an AV or parental controls, an endpoint administration will have that ability to intercept."

Go ahead and tell me how to remove Edge, or how to have Windows open links in other browsers, without involving third party software that forces this, then tell me how "endpoint administration" is something we can expect of people who can't set their own DNS (or who have evil ISPs and can't set up any of a number of other ways to circumvent said evil ISPs).

You didn't address the real meat of the issue: Why is avoiding one issue - ISPs tracking DNS - worth all the bad things that come with it? The only explanation that makes sense to me is that it's worth it to companies that want to control as much as they can, like Cloudflare.

"What is actually inane is the amount of implicit trust and control given to networks right now." So instead of teaching people how and encouraging them to make their networks better, you'd rather divest some of that trust to companies like Cloudflare, and to every application / Trojan writer? Right - because the amount of data collection in software isn't a problem at all. We just need to trust them, and they'll do right by us.

You've made my point for me that you, and other apologists for DoH, haven't really thought things through, have you?
When applying for senior positions, a 4-day work week is already quite an ask. I feel like the whole agile/scrum approach is so deeply rooted into modern companies that ironically they are unable to adapt.

We had somebody in a different timezone join the team and there was a long discussion about when we should do stand ups. I almost suggested just dropping it, but that would have been heresy.
I don't agree with your first paragraph at all.

Capitalist countries were only able to edge out socialist economies by banking on their extant head-start and behaving socialistically (copying socialism in a light way—redistribution, worker advocacy, etc.).

As soon as they were able to claw it all back in the direction of pure capitalism all hell was set loose.

Socialism remains the way forward.
I feel like the minimum standard is too low, tbh. Building dozens of them and selling them seems like enough.

There needs to be another standard that is something like... built at least 10k of them. Because less than that is still likely hand-built and it doesn't really mean much that it was "production".
why, if you are paying him its means he is making more money than you spending on him, if you aren't willing to pay the premium for the effort why he need to make the sacrifice of more work for free.
Or you work 8h less and gain 24 of "contiguous hours that you control" per week.
Like, huge tangible improvements.

You can do general purpose programming in all kinds of DSLs and Rust libraries that compiles down to big-but-practical arithmetic circuits and then generate proofs that y=f(x) without revealing x for arbitrary f. That really wasn't possible until a few years ago and emerged almost exclusively within the sphere of cryptocurrency-adjacent research. You can also use the succinctness of SNARKs to batch these proofs and shrink the verifier costs to almost nothing

It's a cool model for asymmetric computing, with low capacity verifiers collecting results from high capacity provers. It'll probably find uses outside deranged gambling...
As someone born in 1997 and working in the software industry, one thing I’ve learned is that the discipline of software engineering is sometimes mostly about understanding the history of a system. Love reading stuff like this because sometimes it really makes some concept click!

Google is the Ministry of Privacy.

Minister of Privacy: “Let us gather to celebrate a trillion dollars of profit in one quarter. Our goal is to harness the world’s data and exploit it. Surveillance is Privacy”

Minister of Peace: “Comrades, our Ministry has an important duty to ensure the perpetual war that maintains our control. War is peace.”

Minister of Plenty: “Let us not forget our crucial role of the in rationing resources and keeping the populace in a state of need. Scarcity is Abundance.”

Minister of Truth: “The past is mutable, and it is our duty to control the narrative. Ignorance is Strength.”

Minister of Love: “Our goal is to eliminate dissent and ensure the loyalty of our citizens. Fear is Love.”

That is a fascinating idea. I could easily see myself going for that if I loved kernel hacking and they were willing to let me work remotely.

I imagine you'd have to have a really stripped down warm up and cool down routine for such a role. 30 minutes to get into the flow, 3 hours flow state, 30 to step back down and do any documentation you needed to.
I love that HN has pointed out two bugs in my trivial made-up example, lol.
There are numerous countries with controls over money entering or, more often, leaving the territory. This can apply to cash, gold, or other valuables. The issue generally falls under the general realm of customs regulations though also capital controls. Domestic travel generally as fewer, and often (but not always) no limits. Risks of seizure, forfeiture, and outright theft should also be considered. It's generally recommended to not check valuables.

Shipping valuables as insured cargo is another option.
except that there are houses in other places besides San Francisco.. and that those prices have volatility not seen in San Francisco.. is there is a motivated-reason behind defending the house prices here? projecting stability ?
From a quick look the literal translation is "fire speech" which doesn't seem that hard to understand. So it would seem the significance is its place as a cultural touchstone, and cultures can certainly differ.

As to your larger point, pointing out errors in the social consensus is intrinsically inflammatory, as it upsets most everyone's neat little boxes they conceptually pigeonhole things into. That's unfortunate, but I don't think I said anything unnecessarily inflammatory - rather just tying together concepts each claimed by the red and blue tribes that they mostly use to talk past each other.
> Nicholas Bloom, an economist at Stanford University, says it is doubtful most businesses can shed a fifth of the workweek and maintain productivity. “Whenever I talk to managers, they find the topic pretty insulting—they argue it implies they are completely wasting a day a week,” he said.

Yeah, that's the point. You shouldn't expect the same productivity. You should expect less. Just like in theory if we went back to a six day week we'd expect more productivity.

The change isn't expected to hold productivity, it's expected to make people's lives easier and take advantage of technological advantages. Go to a four day work week and you can expect the same productivity that you had 20 years ago at five days.

Nothing wrong with that, if reduced productivity is even true, but most studies refute that anyway.
My understanding is that would be covered under medical insurance?
> How feasible would you estimate passive positioning systems?

Totally feasible. DECCA and LORAN-C basically work on the same principle. have a number of transmitters at known locations and measure the phase/interference to get location.

However, there are other ways. Visual navigation is totally possible (think SLAM, but with a pre-computed map)
Thank you, really happy to hear you enjoyed it!

You can find more short little APL games at
https://github.com/jamescprice/131-APL-Games-for-your-Commod...
It's meant to be a little games book in the spirit of the 1980s books of short little games for the 8bits of the era, and a love letter to APL and the Commodore line. Usually each game brings in a new glyph and you can get a feel for how the language works by looking them over. A work in progress.

Ken Iverson's "Notation as a Tool of Thought" paper/manifesto is a great read and speaks to the philosophy behind APL quite well. He makes a pretty good case for how a programming language without ANY keywords, just symbolic glyphs, is expressive, suggestive, and economic. Classic APL existed as a mathematical notation before it was implemented as a living symbolic maths language, and you can sense that heavy mathematical background in all the crazy glyphs being used.

The wikipedia page on floor and ceiling functions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions) says "Carl Friedrich Gauss introduced the square bracket notation [x] in his third proof of quadratic reciprocity (1808).[3] This remained the standard[4] in mathematics until Kenneth E. Iverson introduced, in his 1962 book A Programming Language, the names "floor" and "ceiling" and the corresponding notations ⌊x⌋ and ⌈x⌉.[5][6]

The wonderful Words and Buttons site has a nice writeup at https://wordsandbuttons.online/apl_deserves_its_renaissance_...
where towards the end they say "Roughly 86% of all the fun you get from APL programming comes from the mysterious symbols and the magic behind them." There's really something to that.

Sometimes it's like you can almost visualize the code flow as a complex optics system, with the iota generator ⍳ emitting a beam of light in the form of integers, then other glyphs acting like beam splitters, prisms, mirrors, diffraction gratings. I've come to see numbers differently.

I have immense respect for the work Dyalog is doing, carrying the commercial APL torch. They make it very easy to take it for a spin, you can give Dyalog APL a try at tryapl.org. Stefan Kruger has an excellent learning page at https://xpqz.github.io/learnapl/intro.html that I highly recommend if you choose to give some time to the Dyalog APL product. Some more excellent food for thought also to be found at https://www.sacrideo.us/is-apl-dead/
