But I have to say, they're basiacally just exploiting an existing weakness.

The modern youth mental health "crisis" is fundamentally caused by a willingness to believe that an instagram avitar is "real life".

Being lost in an electronicly hosted make believe land is really the root cause of the giant increase in "mental health" issues.

Why do people do it? Simple: monkey brain...

That is, especially for adolescents, people want to do what's "popular".

This is why people who give up on popularity are less affected.

But of course, every manic mellennial on ritalin is going to flame me now. Becaseu OBVIOUSLY thinking that your player in fortnight is the "real" you couldn't possibly lead to psychosis...
As I recall it it was also to block access to scripts, so it wouldn't e.g get stuck pulling pointless stuff out of your local search page.
This is where I'm at as well, with the added caveat that I will never tip through the prompts on those machines again, period, regardless of the nature of the establishment. If I'm tipping, it's in cash only.

This whole tipping situation makes me actively angry. I'm done with it.
I live deep in the enterprise world. A quick search shows no outstanding/pending integrations with Concur, Ariba, Successfactors, SAP BTP etc.
Just as hard as not deleting a production database, yet that still happens.

This is an edge case for which they probably didn't have an existing process which means they had to wing it.
Indeed, in a car accident, the car itself is rarely to blame.

But that was not my point.

At the end of the day, no matter how well it's built, a car is a several tons lump of steel launched at significant speed. It's an inherently deadly machine.

Having a lapse of attention while driving a car? you might easily cause a someone to die.

Having the same lapse on a bike? you might cause some broken bones.

Having the same lapse while walking? you are good for some "Oh... I'm sorry".
In 2020-21, some forms of online DMV support were only reachable via Twitter. Here I was thinking I could safely ignore social media, but I had to go make a burner just to get the right number to call about my PNO.

I think this is actually a great idea, and not just a vector for attack as some are seeing it.

I'm undergoing an intense security review process right now while designing a new service.

A broad stroke definition of the process might be "apply best-practices" which are sourced from domain experts, manifest as checklists (do you do XYZ?) which lead to heaps of documentation, as well as weekly consultations with a security pro assigned to our team.

We're very very lucky to have very deep pockets and decades of experience to draw from. Most won't. In fact.. so many things I am working on are to go above and beyond to protect our customers, who configure their application in insecure ways and then blame us..
This is exactly my experience. Weed steals my dreams. I don't mind this short term: I'm going through an overlong emotional event, and with frequent insomnia, weed takes away the anxiety of anticipating the fatigue the following day.

Oof, when I started my new job this year, my I-9 form was rejected with what turned out to be two date fields with different formats. That took some debugging on my part to figure out. :/
The trap phrase there is "passengers .. want to be safe", when what it really means is "passengers . . want to feel safe". The vast majority of aviation consumers can't possibly make any sort of informed decision about safety or maintenance requirements, so what they're really buying is the experience of safety. Which of course is why regulation becomes necessary.

We could say a whole bunch of other things about when companies or people value the lives of other people - and when they decide not to - but that's tap dancing around other topics I'd rather not bump into on HN.
I'm not an antisocial introvert person but lastly I've been focusing so much on productivity and personal development that all my relationships went to this path of dying slowly since I was not taking care of it.

> In August 2015 the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released a major policy statement on the need for post-quantum cryp- tography (PQC). This announcement will be a great stimulus to the development, standardization, and commercialization of new quantum- safe algorithms. However, certain peculiarities in the wording and tim- ing of the statement have puzzled many people and given rise to much speculation concerning the NSA, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), and quantum-safe cryptography. Our purpose is to attempt to evaluate some of the theories that have been proposed.

That’s not an abuse of the platform. It was one of the main use cases for many people. Getting support from an official account is much more convenient than creating an account on some bespoke platform.

And if you’re hung up on the “social media” aspect just know that getting customer support and chatting with your friends are some of the main use cases of the Chinese super apps Musk wants to emulate.

If your sense of self as a greasy capitalist relies on a rejection of everything "socialist", then it's easy to choose to resist renewables just because it's something that progressives want.

You may not be able to figure out precisely how they're going to establish one-world-government by replacing ICEs with electric cars, but if you take it as axiomatic, you don't have to worry about that.
> It's baffling to me that China and India are missing from almost all discussion of carbon emissions. They produce more CO2 than the west combined, and it's growing.

1. The atmosphere does a very good job of mixing CO2 emissions so except possibly near large continuous heavy CO2 emitters you'll only find about a 2.5% variation in CO2 concentration around the world.

That means that a ton of CO2 emission has essentially the same affect on everyone in the world no matter where it comes from. A ton of CO2 emitted by your activity is the same as a ton from my activity, or a ton from some rural Indian villager, or a ton from some poor African country, or a ton from anyone else.

From that it follows that for any given level of slowing or reversing warming we have a total worldwide budget for CO2 emissions per year.

The question then is how to allocate that budget.

Unless you can make a good case that some people deserve a bigger share of that worldwide CO2 budget, the only sensible allocation is to give each person an equal share. If we wanted to limit emissions to current levels that works out to a bit under 5 tons per person per year.

The US is doing about 15 tons per person per year, so we are using 300% of our fair share.

China is doing 7.5 tons per person (about the middle of the range that EU countries are doing), so 150% of their fair share.

India is doing under 2 tons per person, or only about 40% of their fair share.

Mark here, creator of LX - thanks for posting! Apologies for the not-so-great state of that website and lack of documentation. I'm working on a proper repackaging and release of the application, rebranded as Chromatik, which should be a lot easier to learn and use. As with all software projects ever, this has taken longer than anticipated... hoping to have this finally out by end of calendar year.

User documentation is largely ready, but this website is still pre-official-launch: https://chromatik.co/guide/

Will reply to some of the other comments re: source etc. directly. And happy to answer any other questions about the project.
> To do that right would be a full time project for a handful of people for at least months, not "a one line powershell command"

Huh? Maybe bash and not powershell, but it should be pretty simple. If they have to go into the tape backups for that data, ok, perhaps not, but a reasonable mail system should make this a fairly simple task. Even if it takes a 30-line python script, that's not a big deal, and it can be left to run unattended over how many hours or days it needs to in order to go through that many files.

> You then harangued them for charging too much -- they had to come up with an estimate, and they estimated 30 seconds to review the data they sent you for each email.

The city later admitted that its original estimate was completely wrong, because they didn't have to review the email data at all (since bodies weren't to be included). I think "harranguing" them (which there's no evidence the OP did) seems pretty reasonable when they wanted to charge tens of millions of dollars to do something that ultimately actually cost forty bucks.

Also understand that this is in general how FOIA is: people ask for information, and government agencies do whatever they can to get out of providing that information, regardless of their legal requirement to do so. It's entirely reasonable to look at initial objections from the agency with a cynical, skeptical eye.

> You then insisted they __agree not to review the data__ so you could get it cheap

Huh? The data did not legally require review. The city made a mistake initially, or intentionally lied in order to get out of fulfilling the request.

> You should have informed them, deleted the data, and moved on with your life.

That's... exactly what he did? His initial beating-around-the-bush response was designed with the hard-earned knowledge that people often get punished for reporting mistakes of this nature. Which... is what actually seemed to be happening after the city was actually aware of their self-inflicted data breach. They wanted him to submit to a third-party audit (no, screw that) and seemed to be moving in the direction of filing charges against him before he got his lawyer involved. For their own negligence!

I have zero sympathy for the city here. Regardless of why OP wanted this data or whether or not you or I think it's useful data for a citizen to have, the city screwed the pooch here, and OP's karma slate seems pretty clean to me, at least for this particular incident.
> I hate to burst the "hope" and optimism bubble, but we won't be seeing flying cars or anything crazy from the MOSAIC rule

You can already buy a paramotor and learn how to fly it for roughly the price of a new Tesla. I can't imagine getting any closer to "flying cars" than that
Not quite equivalent. When the feds show up looking for the uranium, I can clearly see if they take my refrigerator with them when they leave.
After couple of years of not using Thunderbird (I switched completely to web portals) I tried it when they released Supernova and all I can say is that it's... slow. Really, I often have UI freezes, data doesn't appear immediately, downloading mails take a lot of time, calendar also is not that snappy. I somehow expected to have everything super fast as it's a local app (after all the data is downloaded), but it clearly doesn't handle large amount of mails efficiently.
So we can go back to antiquity to make territorial claims? Hell, better not tell that the Persians, Romans and Mongols! Or the British... Maybe Macedonia wants another shot at conquering India so, who knows?
> I don't remember fragrances being so terrible when I was younger.

Developing allergies to perfumes / strongly scented things is pretty common as people age.

Companies are also much more likely to try to incorporate particular scents into their 'brand', so more places like hotels and brand-name stores are using more scents nowadays.
> You couldn't (and still can't) get customer support from Google and many other customer-hostile companies

Not to derail you but I have an anecdote. I had an issue with my Google Fi account. Support was a breeze. I completed a web form that said "call me" and within a minute or two I was on the phone with a very helpful human who actually fixed my problem.

The article says he self reported it after realizing mid flight it was in his bag.
My favorite framework here is that a successful startup/business needs three things: a problem that people desire a solution for, a technology that solves that problem, and a business model that connects those two things into a profitable enterprise. Most (all?) successful companies start from a place where one of those three is not obvious and requires insight and faith from the founders, and the other two obviously fall into place as a result.

For example, Google's problem was non-controversial "Yahoo, but more accurate" and business model was "just sell ads", but the technology was ambitious and required insight. In contrast, Facebook had obvious tech "just make a website" that a team of dropouts were able to execute on, but the market desire for a new social network wasn't obvious. Uber is the clearest example of innovation in the business model space.

One implication of this is that the best way to pick a startup idea is to search for one of these components, then check that the other two are present. TFA argues for focusing on (searching for) the problem, but the other two approaches are valid as well, especially for highly technical founders or in rapidly-evolving technology domains.

It’s still around and has hardly changed one pixel since 2012!

Yet it still feels fresh and there is no competing product that can challenge them. Most other diff tools lack good merge capabilities and are subpar in multitude of other ways.
So they make a grave mistake from a data protection point of view.

Why do I need to give a contractor access to things on my drives like my work contracts, bank statements, other contracts, encrypted SSH keys, as well as some information other people gave me to keep redundant - because of their mistake?

Especially because the average one of these contractors doesn't tend to exude competency. You know, like the first party I'm talking to which caused this whole disaster?

Especially because it wouldn't help. If I wanted to, I'd have drives they don't know about, or containers they can't recognize.
No, the worst part is the propaganda which forced the medical community to hastily construct a counter-propaganda campaign.

The "trust the science" messaging emerged only in response to a tidal wave of nonsense.

Do you really think anyone involved wanted to focus on PR rather than the real problem(s) at hand?
I think they mean "was there someone guiding your trip, or did you do it alone". I have never tried psychedelics, but I've heard its helpful to have people with you, because you can have a "bad trip" where your mind goes into awful places, and having a familiar face nearby can help get you out of that state or ameliorate your symptoms.

The difference in tooling stories of DIY ecosystems like Python vs. batteries included ecosystems like Go is fascinating.

I've rarely thought of formatting in Go (occasionally wishing it would allow 1 line if statements). But this forgoes many possible optimizations. We don't get fun stories of 30x improvements! (And Go could be optimized a lot, the main compiler implementation foregoes most possible optimizations because the team prioritizes keeping it simple to enable long term refactoring.)

But then in Python I remember tab or space battles, in C you have endless formatting battles which they call coding styles etc. etc. I've never worked professionally in it but it seems like you get people using random build tools... Which are constantly improving! Yet the constant churn horrifies me, seems like it would take up a lot of mental space. Is that true in practice?

LISP (well, Scheme (well, Racket)) is a weird middle ground. Formatting e.g. seems like a solved problem, built into the IDEs with similar behavior since IDK when (I've never thought about it.) Overall, you sort of create tooling while programming. In Common Lisp, substantial tooling is also built into the professional IDEs. The compilers also do quite a lot.
Don't worry about 30, that's easy. 31 is a bastard though ...
I'll leave you with this link, the top IDE index: https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html

Surely you can see that this top list is optimized for features, not for speed. So yeah, people can complain here on HN all they want, in the end the 'evidence' of which software is preferred is pretty clear, even in the programmer demographic.
It might look like cynicism but it was not my intention. The statement about politicians is testable. No faith, specific political views are required, just facts: who voted for what and how it correlates with actual voters--actually, somebody did something along the lines and the conclusions were that politicians do not represent their constituents, at best they represent the very very rich part (it hit a nerve, I saw clumsy attempts to discredit the study in the google results).

So the only important difference is that Buffer creates a mutable view at slice(). It could use a better/distinct name for sure, e.g. mutableView(). But do you actually want to always copy a slice that is big enough?

This ideological pedantic purism which eliminates practical use cases is in my book just that - impractical pedantic purism. It’s easy to advocate for when your job is shaping landscapes without having to walk these.

And yes, I’m writing this still having flashbacks from ESM-only “transition”, which was more like throwing everyone into freezing waters with the promise it will warm up eventually.
The better metric would be how many Arabs, including in the occupied territories, are Israelian citizens. By the way, apartheid doesn't depend on citizenship per se.

> What is NOT tolerable is broken "Manually sort folders" plugin.

I sadly agree with you. I'm waiting for some good news from the GitHub page of the plugin. My workaround is to mark as favorites the parent folders of the trees for my customers and place the favorites at the top of the tree list.

I never used favorites before, there was no need for them.

Interesting point. terminusdb works as a graph of documents and I believe it addresses the issue you are discussing.

Irrespective of the incidental value "Meta" provides, let's keep in mind that no business has a right to exist independently from its standing in the system of laws and the health of its users - especially children.

Social media companies argue that they can't monitor every post and do appropriate age verification online because it would be "impossible to scale". Well, tough luck. Not being able to scale is YOUR problem, not MINE.

We routinely prevent certain business from existing, like a factory that wants to dump harmful chemical on water people use for drinking. If the factory investors say that there is no alternative, we will still prevent, to the best of our ability, the construction of the factory because it's a business that simply shouldn't exist in the proposed manner.
