No. I'm just the only one honest with myself. The world owns smart phones. These are surveillance devices that can record you talking at any time. Snowden already revealed the nsa backdoored every single one. And guess what? I still use smartphones and Gmail. So does.the rest of the world. And likely, so do you.

This thread is mostly people pretending to give a shit. They don't.
I used to hate it when I had too much time on my hands. Once I switched to doing more constructive things, I no longer have the energy to sustain the hate :)

> According to a recent research paper published by University of Pittsburgh, compelling evidence suggests that organizations are leveraging Return-To-Office mandates not to enhance firm value, but rather to reassert control and shift blame for poor performance onto employees.

At the risk of sounding cyncial, this is to be expected. Management, especially C-suites have put themselves on a pedastal where they can do no harm. Its almost always blamed on the employees.

Example, the recent Boeing fiasco is being portrayed as an employee failure[1] by giving employees safety lessons, while ignoring the years mismanagement and cost cutting.

The "ignorant hipster" comment is uncalled-for. There's nothing wrong with accessible tools.

But I agree with all your points.

With regard to point 4, if I download a desktop app for my Macbook and it's Electron, I see it as a sign of minimal commitment to user experience. They prioritized cost over my experience and I'm probably not going to choose that app unless there are no other options.

I do the same with iOS apps. If it's not native, I'll usually delete right away.
I didn't say there wouldn't be a screen. But natural conversations will be much more fluid and efficient than a keyboard and google search. Having a conversation is so much better for all sorts of applications.

Today's smartphones have to evolve this way, imo. I don't know what the most efficient hardware realization would look like but I imagine it's something that isn't in your pocket most of the time, more of a sleek wearable. It will need to be able to hear and see what you do.
Ah, yes. I pasted it and didn't notice it did that. Edited title to correct it from Ups to UPS.

> After his death, the scammers sent Guffey a laughing face emoji and a message using a pseudo account on Instagram after the original one was shut down. “It said, ‘did I tell you your son begged for his life?’” Guffey says. They also demanded money in exchange for the photos.

That article was based on the dumbest study in the history of dumb studies.

Stock Market returns during WFH vs Stock Market returns during RTO. (free money, zero-interest rates, meme-stock mania had nothing to do with it apparently)

It's a click-bait article to attract gen-zers and HNers and it has worked like a charm
The point is they absolutely shouldn't have the ability to do blanket searches of DNA banks. That was my point. If they have a warrant for a killer's DNA and that person has sold DNA to 23 and Me then fine, go check his particular file. That would be kind of pointless since they could just force that person to give up their DNA with a specific warrant, but whatever. They should not be able to do pattern matching on the whole DNA database to fund an unknown killer. That would be violating my 4th amendment and 5th amendment rights because they don't have a warrant to check my DNA
Nature gave us libido to avert questions like this. As such, many of us are unplanned or unwanted.

That’s also a good summary of the 1st iPhone’s reviews.
Either someone failing to update the cert or the person who did it until has been sent to the meatgrinder. I really do wonder what effect war will have on the Russian IT industry. From what I read most IT professionals are protected from mobilisation, but on the other hand they might have a more open view of the world then Putin's regime.

The YouTube recommendation algorithm is terrible. I _wish_ it simply recommended videos that are similar to ones you've watched recently. But it doesn't do that. Not even close.

What it _actually_ does is build a demographic profile of each user based on the videos you watch and tries to lump you into a stereotype and then recommends videos that other people in that stereotype watch. I hope the engineers/managers at Google don't try to fool themselves into believing they are "woke" because this is one of the most un-woke things I can think of.

For instance, if I start watching woodworking and motorcycle repair videos (just two of my MANY hobbies), YouTube decides I am a retired rural conservative christian conspiracy theorist, when in fact I am none of those things. I start getting video recommendations of gun reviews, Fox News clips, religious debates, and suchlike.

Oh yes, and girls in bikinis jumping on trampolines. I mean, I am not exactly against the _concept_ of girls in bikinis jumping on trampolines as such, but it's not something I've ever searched for or even watched videos of. But more importantly, it's not the kind of thing I prefer to have pop up on my phone or computer screen when a friend or family member is nearby.
They've also been backdoored by the nsa. I think those Snowden docs revealed that.

Even so, me and most of the world still doesn't care that much as we all use and own smart phones. The backlash in this thread is just hypocritical.
Ask HN: Any service to follow Middle-East geopolitical situation?
I'm looking for a service (hopefully less expensive than Bloomberg news terminal) that expose the news from Middle-East as soon as possible. For example, given that US is on the brink of bombing some Iranian assets soon, where and how can I find the info as quickly as possible? Ideally the message should also include more details of the attack (air assets used, target hit, etc.).
That is a valid point (in space there is always sun), but the Mars day is just 37 minutes longer than on earth, so it is a fixed problem that can be handled with just more needed basic material. Nothing fancy, or complicated though.

Remote management carries with it the same overhead as outsourced management. Outsourcing has slowed because the coordination costs are quite high and difficult to figure out. I think the backlash to remote is largely due to this being a very hard to solve problem.

"Healthcare" is such a big term that covers so many things that really should be broken out separately so that it can be seen what's what.

Most people really only care about the amount of the insurance deduction, co-pays, and care availability; they don't know or care about the "behind the scenes" details.

The consolidation has been absolutely phenomenal in the last twenty years, and digging into exactly why each town could have an independent hospital and staff 20/30 years ago and why they're all being consolidated now.
DIMM does not, but CAMM does.
Or they've calculated that there are few enough 2001 Camrys on the road 22 years later that the risk/reward for them does not justify doing a recall. Hooray?
> The problem is that management is a lot harder than many thought, but you could sort of hide the fact that you're bad at it when everyone is at the office. There simply isn't enough talented managers around.

I feel like this is true for so many jobs these days. Like I think that a lot of people (in high skill jobs) are really not good enough for their jobs. But we simply don't have enough good people for all the jobs.

Just as a programmer, so many people that are paid to do it are... bad. Managers, same. PMs (I think) same. I wouldn't be surprised if others in other professions feel the same.
> Think most people do include markets and competition as core to capitalism.

I would argue that this is liberalism, and a smidge older than capitalism. I think you can have multiple kind of capitalism, the old-school, robber-baron that you get in Mexico, Brasil, Russia; the liberal capitalism you get on the west (mixed with more or less socialism), and the weird semi-authoritarian capitalism that you get in China, Vietnam (mixed with more or less socialism too). Probably other exists. Only the liberal one in my mind has free market and competition as a core, its always a secondary effect of participating in the global economy for the others. At least it's my opinion at the moment, i'm not knowledgeable enough, so if you disgree, please do and explain, i want to learn.
How does that work for ICs? I'm genuinely asking. I've always been in a position where at some point I'm going to have to produce working software and it would be pretty obvious if I wasn't getting anything done.

That article is true but hardly fair. MUMPS has the "blessing" of early success dating back to the bygone era of punchcards. We all point and laugh at the single letter keywords now because a candle [0] now has more RAM than a database server did at the time. Would Crockford have been around to write "MUMPS, The Good Parts" in the middle 1970's we might all be using a general purpose programing language with built-in persistence to a no-SQL document store.

Unlikely. Nobody wants evidence that potentially contradicts The Edict.

As my attorney once opined: if they really want to sue you, the first thing you'll hear from them will be about the lawsuit they filed, not a C&D.
Wait… you switch away from Emacs?
I think different companies use return-to-office mandates differently, sometimes even within the same company.

One facet of this is companies using return-to-office mandates to simply do layoffs without having to pay severance.

Absolutely bonkers that doing the job you were hired to do can get you canned
While not perfect, I'm sympathetic to the hippies not only because of my two Summer of Love aunts, but because in a tough world, they dared to question the imperfect status quo and attempt to try to make something better than just accept the bad.

But the mindset wasn't a total wash. After all, they were right about the Vietnam War, weed, civil rights, magic mushrooms, and they're part of the reasons we have Silicon Valley, iPhones, and open source. It's no coincidence YC / HN is based in the exact locale the hippies were.
Where did I absolve the medical company of wrongdoing for not securing this data?
Going 15mph over is a crime in a lot of states (like NC), which is bonkers.

By contrast, DUI is not nearly severe enough. It should only be a misdemeanor if it's <= .10. Anything over .10 should be a felony.
It's would be trivially easy to scan these streams of messages through some kind of ML classifier and identify cases of extortion before they result in suicide. Once the platforms identify the perps, they can block them from the platform. I hope this lawsuit makes the costs of platform inaction so high that they build out detection systems.
You'd hope it is something like that. The Takata airbag thing has been a known issue for a really long time.
Beware of fake job candidates (2023)
I strongly suspect that we both have the continuing class war but also actual problems with debt and even real world resources availability. Which is not to say that those things would be as bad for the average person if not for class warfare, but poor management and just difficult situations do spread things more thinly.
I'd argue that it's unavoidable. These glyphs are meant for communicating to humans. Trying to reduce it removes the human element out of it, which can remove concepts like intent and context.
I was thinking of countries more like India and Nigeria, both of which, despite becoming richer and having lower fertility themselves, have populations projected to exceed China's, and both projected to become too hot to live in without big problems. Its not literally an "endless" supply, but its easily enough to cover gaps in the west. If fertility fell 75% in the west, could probably fill it with people from those countries. And that might be a win-win in certain ways. The west then doesn't have an aging population. People in too hot countries get to move. The suffering happens to old people left in poor hot countries, which is a sad thing. In the end yes you are correct its not endless, but this must be a very long way off.
Thanks for taking the time to write this down. Unexpected, that MS behaves like this, and useful to know.
This is great, setting the same up with truenas wasn't as easy as I had hoped.
EVs are currently exempt from this!

We need OBD regulations to be updated for reflect these new technologies. I think hydrogen vehicles are also exempt.
November 1975 to January 1986 - that's the kind of duration of a body line we need to encourage.
Their behavior against Gizmodo over an iPhone 4 prototype got really close to jailing tech bloggers.

Their technical control over the signing keys that Apple devices trust also gives them the ability to enjoin shittons of otherwise legal activity (e.g. emulators).

Apple also pays shittons to have Customs & Border Patrol lock down the US border and ban iPhone parts imports that aren't authorized by Apple. Does that count as a fine?

I'm pretty sure that's already two out of three.
bingo. It's like measuring the effectiveness of my gardening by seeing how many vegetables I produce in the summer vs winter, and then blaming Santa Claus for poor performance.
Mass, height, and the mechanics of momentum (as when, say, tripping) all make a difference. Some of the terms involved have exponents applied. Adults definitely feel a lot more force from mistakes made while moving their bodies than kids do.
Required breaks are only for non-exempt roles (typically hourly FTEs with a set schedule).
I think this may hurt fired workers, because companies will have less incentive to offer severance pay if fired workers can criticize them in public anyway.

I would probably avoid transportation that kills 1% of its users each trip.
I got the impression this refers to the services geared toward the general public. I wonder if the providers have more stringent requirements for consumer email than for business email. I imagine the latter would be more likely to fuss about false positives, particularly when dealing with vendors or customers.

It really does come down to our society having a sick relationship with sex, our bodies and interpersonal relationships in general. I think we are really going to go through some growing pains in the near future when it comes to our 18th century morality in this 21st century world.

Hopefully we can move past restrictive religious ways of looking at the world and actually prevent things like what happened in the article.
There's no way anybody left at twitter will even notice this, let alone know what to do about it.
I really dislike Python.

This is a clean install of Python straight from the Python developers in a clean container. And it doesn't work. I figured I must need "points" so I pip-installed that.

Feels like every time I try to use Python, stupid, incomprehensible errors such as this occur:

```

Maybe or maybe not. Don’t blame the victims please.

I’m not from a puritan environment at all but when I was a teenager I had low self esteem. I believe I could have been an easy victim back then.

Random aside, but ATF field personnel used to be 'Inspectors' and we had a pretty good working relationship during annual inspections and so on.

Sometime in the Post-9/11 era they transitioned to 'Investigators' and the majority of them got a big stick up their rear ends and it has become a trying, adversarial relationship every time they come out.
I didn't know about this functionality.

Thanks!
This is why shady tow companies persist. They have more resources than their victims, so it's low risk to behave in super shady ways. i.e. towing cars which they can't legally be towing. Happens all the time.
Fun (?) fact: Birth defect risk for an over 40 pregnancy is the same as with a first cousin.
wow that's awesome. That we could even talk about potentially using just python to make requests in browser is pretty wild (of course, as you say still blocks in the way - lack of socket or TLS APIs for Emscripten/WASI). Really cool stuff tho. All the best eh and thank you VERY much for the incredible urllib3 library.

One answer to this point in particular is that this wholesale liquidation of the land was made by rich landowners living far away, and cannot be treated as the Palestinians selling their own land away. The people actually living on the land had no say in this.
It's unlikely that anybody is left at twitter who can actually help you with this, sadly.
For what it's worth, you can also self host your runners without Ubicloud on Github. That doesn't remove other reasons to not run Gitlab, but it's also not unique. I've self hosted runners for a variety of reasons on Github with great success.
I like my pinephone and thought I’d upgrade to the pro at some point but the software has taken a long time to get stable. So now it’s been years.

When does new hardware come out? Is there a competent well-known group implementing things like Asahi for Mac? I'd like to support one of them.

Sunk cost. Making people come into the office doesn't somehow make that cost go away, although it might make MGMT feel better about the bad decision.
There are other forms of extortion or they could make something up. Are you saying that extortion would be impossible in a non-puritanical society?
ECDSA is available in DNSSEC, and there is a slow migration to ECC in progress; see https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/#/?dnssec_param_tab=0

The .EDU, .NET, and .COM zones were recently migrated from RSA to ECDSA (DNSSEC algorithm 13); see, for instance: https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2023-Dec...

Anyone newly enabling DNSSEC on their zone should probably use ECDSA.
> In fact, I know for certain that the most productive farmland in the US, per area unit, is least likely to use motorized equipment of any kind.

Isn’t this exactly what you’d expect? Motorized equipment is for working vast amounts of farmland as efficiently as possible, so the only farmland that would be worked by hand would have to be much more lucrative in comparison.
Con artists seem to often have a psychopathy that even a lot of violent criminals don't possess.
Might be a sweet spot. I'm thinking (a) well-understood problem (b) hardware's rented, and scales with use (c) lots of teams have CI costs high enough to be annoying, but not so high that they need authorization to change their supplier (d) github are marking up the service so hard that it's easy to compete on price.
Yes. When you mix agricultural production capacity with access to the production via a data connection involved in the Ukraine war (as a quick example...), you'll get a war + day 1 bricked tractors. Scary thought, absolutely exposed to it.

You make some very good points. I've definitely seen organizational dysfunction related to the Quality / QA split of responsibility. Typically this manifests as:

- an over-reliance on low quality and fragile tests at the highest and least flexible level of the stack. Usually a GUI or browser based tests.

- under investment in domain synthesis and learning, and an over-investment in either automated testing or robotically following test plans.

- because we've shifted the responsibility and accountability to a different team, the developers may assume that they have a reduced burden to test their work. And you get the typical "throw it over the fence" pattern, with its associated long latencies.

- an us vs them mentality, separate management, and isolated silos of communication.

The pattern I've advocated for is more like: having an experienced and talented exploratory tester as a core part of a given team. They take full responsibility on deeply understanding the domain, and often become a real expert that can identify domain level misunderstandings and poor mappings on to the solution domain. These issues are amongst the most expensive to fix, and the payback for this level of investment is ridiculously huge.

So I wish we had a more distinct term that would help distinguish this older approach of QA (or SQA) with the dysfunctional patterns we've identified from the newer exploratory testing role. Something like "subject matter validator" (naming is hard).
