I find myself agreeing with this.
Me 15 years ago would have raged at this. I have kids now and they are pressured to join all sorts of social media platforms. I still don't allow them to have it but I know they take a slight social hit for it.

There is zero positive to giving kids the ability to access social media sites designed to be addictive when they don't have the mental facilities to determine real from not real. Many adults seem to suffer from this as well. Plus kids don't understand that the internet is forever, really no need for an adult looking for a job or running for office to be crippled by a questionable post they made as an edgy teen.

I'm against a lot of government regulation but in this case I am even more against feeding developing kids to an algorithm

Just remove the temptation and pressure all together.
> you have no idea what amazon would do with a spatial and/or topographical map of your living space updated almost daily? you cant? damn. you might wanna do some creativity exercises instead of crapping on your keyboard for everyone to see. embarrassing for you. truly.

Why do you care what data Amazon has about my living space? If you don't like it don't by a Roomba. Why do you always assume that people are rubes who are being duped by corporations, as opposed to people who are making a conscious tradeoff?
I'm on a business line, and the L2 Ethernet segment consists of 1 device, their router.

And most of Wave users (or any broadband users in the US, for that matter) use DOCSIS, which does not have a shared L2.
very cool! reminds me of Arkanoid
I don't think I was.

I do agree that one doesn't have to be unique. My comment was more about the grandparent point about Vision Pro being the only product in the last 20 years to not solve a problem. My point was that if Vision Pro addresses no problem, neither does the Watch or HomePod. If Watch or HomePod do address problems, I don't see how the Vision Pro doesn't.
See comment above:

Everywhere in the world (except China, etc but here they are making sure that bent lawmakers don't allow Chinese cars to be sold in Europe for instance)

Car makers are making a huge, terrible mistake with all of this. Their greediness is making a new generation of potential car owners have to settle for inferior options such as public transportation. That influx of users will empower those alternatives until there really is no need for cars anymore. Of course the executives raising prices now won't be the same ones at the helm when the ship starts sinking.
You seem to be quoting their reasoning but either not reading or accepting it, I'd just be quoting the tweets you've cited in your comment which seems like it'd just waste both of our time as you're already aware of them.

I'm not sure there's any further discussion to be had on this one.
One current theory is speed (citation below).

Ironically, heavy traffic is one of the better "safety features" of our automobile transportation system. Since crowded roads are higher-conflict roads, there is a bit of luck in the fact that traffic slows down when it gets crowded. There may be more collisions, but they are less deadly.

Suddenly there is a pandemic, and there are orders of magnitude fewer people on the roads. The number of collisions goes down, but the number of deaths goes up, because all of the collisions are at higher, deadlier speeds.

Driving Went Down. Fatalities Went Up. Here's Why. by Charles Marohn

https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2022/1/10/driving-went-d...
While talking about world building, 1 pet peeve I have is that the villain is always described as comically villainous with spikes all over their body.

That simply took me away from my immersion. The villains should not look too different than the heroes. Is it so that it makes murdering the villains palatable?
Gambling is outright banned for a majority of regions in the US, not just kids. I don't think they are equally bad, just different bad. Gambling is addictive, and it destroys people. Social media is addictive and socially toxic, on the whole it erodes the very fabric of a society.
The US invested in an airborne command center so that even in the event of a catastrophic sneak attack someone would still be alive to order a retaliation strike.
>This car would be unthinkable in today's market - barebones radio, stick shift, no camera, no screen and noisy engine.

All I really want are bare-bones vehicles. I had to practically fight with the Nissan dealership to get their base-model trim. I wish manufacturers would still offer basic vehicles.
Yeah but I never have issues with VSCode plugins, so I'm not sure what the difference is with Vim.

Thank you. The hierarchical relationship was one of the key details of the whole idea.
Do you plan to have on prem usage (if not cost ) in the future?

Also what about utilisation rates ?

I think HumblyTossed is suggesting this group do exactly what Cameron did: investigate and document but not remove. If this is Earhart's plane, it's probably also her grave. We generally frown on disturbing the resting places of the dead for commercial purposes.

Ask HN: What are some homeless shelter innovations?
For example, it seems like most homeless shelters have tons of beds all together in one big room. But in my experience that would make it pretty hard to sleep with all the snoring and other noises. Is there some type of individual sleeping pod that would be better? What other innovations can you think of for the homeless?
look like git submodule + branches for it will cover requirements.
We've got just one set of boy/girl twins...they're 14 now. Twins are clearly 10x more difficult than a singleton in the early years, but later on they're much easier...there's always a playmate of the same age etc. It gets easier, hang in there.
the crustier EEs among us have been burned by downloaded symbols. It’s often better to make your own symbols and footprints unless you have a high quality source from the manufacturer. Even then, some symbols are not organized in a logical way. I personally make all symbols/footprints not in the kicad standard library.
I have a 2018 Wrangler that has gone from 120 to 190/mo over the last 2-3 years. It has 12k miles, and is driven once every 1-3 months when I go offroading/camping, beyond that it sits in my private garage. I'm 39 but do have a minor wreck in 2020 i think.

I usually have a multi-car discount that would take, say my $190 down to 160-170 or so for both cars, or maybe just add a bit to the total, it's usually a huge benefit. I just bought a 2018 Miata RF last week ($22k w/30k miles since its on topic) and it added $150 to my insurance.

I can't believe it. Yes I quoted before hand and still did it, and shopped with an insurance aggregator (thezebra). Switching from Geico to Progressive saved me a little bit but not much.

Also, anyone who loves sports cars and hasn't driven a 4th gen (I haven't driven earlier) miata.. do it. It's so fun and it's not 500hp like my last sports car that was so fast I was way over the speed limit in 2nd-3rd. I'm redlining the RF constantly and still getting 28mpg. I get to hit 1-4 to hit 60 I think. It's a really fun active drive and I can't get any body roll at all (mine has Tein coilovers).

My friend works for an insurance company and it's all the car thefts going on he said.
Same. I don't like that the meta stuff inside the function. I prefer to have the function be pure code.
"Legislative Innovation" as redirection activity
The core of CSS layout, as I understand, is a few different layout algorithms (flex, columns, normal blocks, etc.) Properties are knobs to customize these algorithms. Internally I assume it's a constraint solving problem.

The kind of language I would be interested in would expose the constraint solving directly. So it would be much more like Prolog than, say, Rust.

You seem to working from the basis of reproducing CSS as it currently exists, and keeping design principles of CSS. This is reasonable POV, but these are not assumptions I share in my musing here.
They're making native calls.. Either through message passing, or through creating stubs.

You can literally use all of the iOS SDK directly.

Not sure why I'm downvoted.. https://old.nativescript.org/native-api-access/

It's the basis of their entire product. On top of that they've built cross-platform wrapper for many UI things. And on top of that, they've integrated several toolkits.

They just market it the other way around, which i.m.o. is not helping them with traction. Right now they're always competing with many other products (react native for example), even though they have a very unique product.
Courts are slowly chipping away at a law the internet was built on
I'm in favor of kids not using porn, but not of the government forcing this on people nor spinning up whatever absurd regulatory regime is required. And the chance of actually enforcing it is zero anyway. It's no more realistic to expect this to work than to expect all parents to do it as you say. It's just wasted money plus personal intrusion that won't achieve anything.

I only changed 2 words for 1.
TL;dr an interesting frame through which to view Ingenuity use of off-the-shelf components,

is as an indicator of where we are in the Moore's Law (etc.) type views on the inverse performance and cost curves in our computational infrastruture.

There was some implicit dotted line in N-space representing the necessary reliability, performance, weight, etc. characteristics required for multi-million-dollar NASA missions.

The take-away is that we have now advanced the industry generally such that with are we can be over that line.

I can connect this, observationally, to a hardware startup I was employee #1 at many years ago. At the time a friend started his company, it had only just—perhaps in a 12 month window—become viable for two people to design, program, and ship a hardware product based on embedded systems on microcontrollers, fast-turn PCB fabrication, and to do mechanical design in e.g. Solidworks on a PC. At the time, data sheets were still delivered via FAX trees. McMaster-Carr and Digikey were all we eneeded. It COULD be done, and we did it.

It felt at the time like what we were able to do represented a collective crossing of some event horizon. The garage was back, baby.

That we have now crossed a similar threshold wrt putting largely autonomous flying bots on Mars I didn't foresee. Nonlinearity is hard.

But at moments like these I do like to try to look over my shoulder, ahead. Where in another 25 years?

I'll play. Autonomous mesh-networked group-mind self-repairing and possibly bootstrap-replicating vestigial von Nuemann probes, populating and mapping the ocean worlds of the gas giants.

And I'll bet that's conservative—one X factor being just how long it takes to get out there. But I'm cautiously optimistic we will be getting there in sub-year travel times by then.
There's nothing wrong with rear drum brakes. They last longer than disc brakes, are cheaper, and easier to service. You don't need rear disc brakes unless you're in a performance vehicle. If people really cared about braking, they'd be making cars lighter.

Movie watching (I've been holding off on watching Dune for this!), general-purpose computer-y stuff (browsing, writing, media consumption, etc), game streaming, using it as a larger display for a MBP, seeing what people build, and (maybe) building some things myself.

In general, I want to treat it like an iPad / MBP hybrid with enormous virtual screens that I can take around with me. There's a lot of potential for what could be built (especially with the AR stuff you mention), but having access to the majority of the iPad ecosystem, MBP mirroring, and other miscellaneous features already makes it an enticing device to me.

> Like Apple's measures to prevent tracking people from apps out across the internet, because they value privacy and don't want their users to be tracked.

You misunderstand or misrepresent their policy. Tracking across apps is exactly that. It’s designed to limit data harvesters, 3rd-party analytics libraries that build individuals’ profiles by following them across several unrelated apps.

This is entirely unrelated to a company linking accounts between their apps and their website, which is entirely uncontroversial and has been for as long as there have been apps on iPhones. I mean, how else is a Gmail app supposed to be consistent with the website?

It’s been the same thing since forever with the Amazon and Netflix apps, as well.

> You know, the same thing Facebook and other advertisers were doing. Which was bad. But now that Apple is the one making money off of it, actually it's fine.

Facebook is harvesting data across apps and websites indiscriminately and without the subjects’ consent. It’s completely disingenuous to say that this is equivalent to Spotify knowing what the users do in their app and in their website.

If I don’t have a Spotify account, Spotify does not know a thing about me. That is not the case for Facebook.

> I disagree. As someone with a CS degree, this was and is a stereotype for a reason.

Absolutely false! This is a canard which has been spread and repeated again and again so often that people are not challenging it but accepting it on face value. I have worked across a lot of companies across two countries and never have i encountered somebody with so bad social/communication skills etc. that you could not interact with them. People are spread across a spectrum and in many cases they choose not to socialize due to "learned helplessness" from past experiences. One you understand and empathize with their pov they almost always open up and are very communicative.

You should also understand that "stereotypes" are very insidious and hence one needs to be careful in interpreting them. For example, here is the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk The Danger of the Single Story - https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngozi_adichie_the_dange...

“The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they aren't true, but they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”

> This sounds almost like a conspiracy theory, how have the "industry" come to this conclusion together exactly?

Simple "Organizational Politics". If i want to grow my power/fiefdom/etc. i need to keep decision-making to myself and given that Engineers are busy with Engineering it is easy to take it away from them. Makeup and sell the stereotype given above and you have the status-quo.

What is with all the objectification? Twins are people too. Even just the title, "The Twins Obsession", screams "objects, not people!", but then the next 80% of the article discusses sets of twins as if they're some curious and exotic bird to look at.

Also, what is with this misconception: "When twins aren’t being regarded as carbon copies, they are slotted (or slot themselves) into opposing roles." Dude, any vector can be projected onto another one, with an orthogonal ("opposing") component left over. You might as well say, "When Juan and Ji-hoon aren't being regarded as carbon copies, they are slotted (or slot themselves) into opposing roles."

Depends on the business, for example in consulting, billable hours rule. The mention of "calls" would be consistent with this.

And in a lot of workplaces, desk time well exceeds 40 hours a week.

In addition, it could be a way of encouraging employees to return to the office.

What is fair depends on what a person is paid the kind; of work they are doing; local custom; industry standards; etc.

Finally, it might be a bullshit requirement based on a bullshit directive from above and responding with a bullshit time sheet is reasonable.

Or in the case of billable hours, assigning your time to billable hours is what matters to the bottom line and your productivity is somewhat incidental and only loosely correlated to the value of your time to your employer. Indeed in billable hour situations, management reworking timesheets is not particularly rare.

Good luck.
I hope you win your battle.
> The central authority should be someplace that already has your non-anonymous ID data, so using your ID for age verification doesn't give them any new ID information. The only new thing that them doing age verification adds is that they might keep a list of verification tokens they have issued.

But the central authority, a third party, will get a heads-up every time someone - whether child or adult - logs into the social media site. That's a privacy violation. Even if the verification system were set up in such a way that the third party wouldn't be able to know which exact website I'm trying to visit, the third party would be able to track how frequently I visit websites that require age verification. With just this law, it would be "you visited social media during X, Y, and Z times." With extensions of this law to other kinds of websites, it would be "you visited social media or porn or violent video games or alcohol sites during X, Y, and Z times", which obfuscates the kind of website I visit but also makes the internet into something I have to whip out an ID for just to use.

> That's fixed by making it so the token that is given to the social media site is not the token that came from site that checked your ID. You give the social media site a transformed token that you transform in such a way that the social media site can recognize that it was made from a legitimate token from the ID checker but does not match anything on the list of tokens that the ID checker has for you.

Is it possible to transform the token such that the social media site would be able to link it to your identity but an attacker who gains access to the social media site's data wouldn't? If so, I'd appreciate an example of a transformation for such a purpose. But it doesn't wipe out my privacy concern, that I - or anyone else - wouldn't be able to log in to a social media site without letting a third party know against my will.
