I'm not singling out any one company. Walmart did indeed pioneer labor exploitation. Amazon just made it more efficient. Facebook, Google got rich off surveilling users and eroding user privacy rights. Focusing on some specific companies serves to obfuscate the fact that this is an exploitative economy built up over decades with policies that weakened society at large. A relatively tiny section of society became powerful enough to rearrange society to their benefit.

Bring up the topic of central planning and you'll have everyone pointing out the folly of putting all the power in the hands of a few people. Our corporation ruled society is not that far off from a centrally planned dystopia. Instead of patting our backs comparing ourselves to the communist bloc, we need to focus on the technology we have today and what possibilities the technology could have opened up, and ask why the said possibilities haven't become a reality.

It linked to the browser’s website. The only actual restriction on these computers was usually that you couldn’t access the address bar to type in arbitrary URLs.
For the handful slightly fancy TUI applications I wrote, I had some fun in just using raw escape sequences.

I really like the buildkit output style, I couldn't figure out how to do something like this – multiline output without a full-term application – with curses, so I did it myself.
I created an app to centralize AI models and chain them with a graph interface
I didn't know anything about web development a year ago but when OpenAI released their ChatGPT and Whisper API last March I wanted to build a wrapper. The goal was to centralize most AI models and chain them together thought a graph/node interface.

I learned all the tool needed and shipped the beta of it (my first app!) a couple of days ago. It's called BlendAI (https://tryblend.ai/). You can try it for free and without a subscription. Everyone gets free credits on sign-up and can ask me for more against good feedback. I have a little more than 10 models and planning on adding much more in the coming weeks.
If I remember correctly, these were href images used to recommend a specific browser for the best experience.

No. Ethical tests cannot determine the full truth - that is just a simple fact.

How can anything be tested on on enough humans ethically? We can use animal models to detect some negatives. But if animal tests show a substance is "safe", doubt would still remain until tested on humans. It is normal that humanity creates new technology without knowing the future impact. Some people think that we shouldn't introduce new technology since we can't afford the risks. But technology has ethically positive outcomes - not only negative risk. Doing nothing has risks too.
They shouldn’t. It makes papers less accessible which means they’re less impactful. That said, a lot of academics are good at their discipline and bad at writing.
Nor should it be in our republic. There is no national security override to our rights in the Constitution.

Shouldn't the effect be visible on epidemiological level? Like the one from leaded gasoline?
Haha I hear you but the intention was more to say something for example if your egg content weighs 45g then you use 90g flour, rather than 1 egg to 100g flour. The difference ends up being significant.
I'm sorry but that is nothing but a gross oversimplification of the topic.

There is neither lack of effort nor lack of incentive for human-analog testing ( which would lead to curing cancer, weightloss, hairloss, vaccines, etc. etc. etc.). You can't just write unit tests for the real world. Please do some reading before you try and hand-wave away a whole field as trivial.
Forgive my naïveté, but if it’s riskless, how are you getting interest from investing in it?
What kind of access and information do you believe Google is offering the Chinese military? They pull out of the Chinese search market for a reason.
Yeah - I'm sure there's some of that as well. I think its mostly just 'design by committee' for the most part though. A lot of companies don't do sponsorships, etc. so they don't really need to worry about it.

As others have mentioned, it can also be tailoring a position for a specific candidate just so they have a reason to hire the person they already selected.

You did just imply that peeing in bottles is fairly reasonable for certain hectic environments. Perhaps so, but you'd need another explanation for why it's reasonable for a workplace like Amazon's warehouses to embody that. I think there should at least be heavy scrutiny towards that premise.
Thank you for creating the project! Oddly enough I came across fck-nat last week and have been looking into incorporating it into my project app to avoid paying the $30+ per month for the managed solution.

As someone who is new to setting up VPCs and networking, how does this work? I was so curious I even tried to query ChatGPT about it a couple of days ago but I got a less than satisfactory answer.

Is the secret to making it work disabling the "source destination check"? Say a host in the private subnet wants to connect to a host on the internet, it tries to connect to <PublicIP>, and sends some IP packets over the subnet via the ENI, does the VPC subnet act like an old-school ethernet connection where fck-nat gets the IP packets for <PublicIP> (source/dest is disabled so it receives the packets) and then it forwards it to the internet gateway and does the network address translations when it receives a response packet?
Funny thing is, I look at that with envy.

I haven't framed it that way either but if you're going to be biased based on this single data point, it would make sense to compare it other similar data points across all auto manufacturers. My personal feeling is that the existence of this article itself is bias as there are literally hundreds of auto recalls every year and we are spending on awful lot of time on this particularly minor one.

I don’t think these things, or even a lot or the other political topics are uninteresting. I’ll often still flag them, however, since I’m really very uninterested in what the HN crowd who responds to these sort of things have to say about it.

Part of this is because I’m European, and the whole “red vs blue” team sort or politics a lot of Americans seem to do these days is just silly, and often hateful. But part of it is also that we’re a bunch of people who know tech and business, but not international politics. I guess I could just ignore them, but I’d frankly rather they were kept to other places on the internet.

Some tips for macOS users:

1. Use the XMoon theme - https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/xmoon/ - to greatly improve the aesthetics of the browser and get a familiar "macOS" feel.

2. If you are using a non-Apple 2k / 4k display and face HiDPI issues of the PaleMoon UI text and website appearing tiny on high resolution, open about:config in PM and search for the option layout.css.devPixelsPerPx - Experiment by increasing its value from 1.0 till you find something comfortable (I use 1.75 on 2k resolution). (You may also need to use the extension Address Bar & Search Bar More Readable - https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/urlbar-readability/ ).
Thanks for checking it out and commenting!

I 100% agree with this and have been thinking of how it can be solved. I think embeddings open a new opportunity to get this off the ground. Worried it will include too much noise by default (Does every Elon story in chronological order come up with the latest Tesla news? Maybe? Maybe only if the target of the article is Tesla?)

You're right news is bad at this, its too hard without new tools to solve. This is a great feature request. I'll get to work. Thanks again.

Not them, but I worked at a University in their IT dept, and our chief metric was solely 'customer satisfaction' (and 'customer' meant 'faculty'). We almost never wanted to pass tickets, because that tended to make the 'customers' upset. They wanted white glove service, and that's what they got.

It also meant that some people had "forever tickets", that were a continuous series of tacked-on asks by the same faculty member. HigherEd IT can be crazy (and crazily-laid back).

Being able to quit a terrible workplace doesn't imply that one has achieved a reasonable standard of living and is just making more money. Indeed, if people continue working at a workplace where they're subjected to conditions they think are terrible, they probably don't do it just to make more money.
Our browser client would help with tracing what network requests are being made by said apps since it would capture all network requests.

They don't except for "eye wash" procedures like fluoride trays and polishes. The ADA has a vested interest in fluoridation because of reputation, and chemical suppliers do to a minimal degree.

A long time ago, it was decided US fluoridation "improved public health" with the quick win of moving the needle of tooth decay while failing to consider the long-term, detrimental health effects of systemic fluoride ingestion. The rest of the world doesn't do it because of the evidence against it and widespread availability of modern dental care products containing fluoride.

The trivialization of anti-fluoridation is primarily due to mass media indoctrination, i.e., Dr. Strangelove, and association with conspiracy wingnuts.
> This might be because games are easier or faster to build.

A simpler explanation is that outside of games VR simply doesn't bring much to the table.

My favorite anti-VR-hype example involves sending a letter to people. Do I virtually fold paper into thirds for a virtual envelope and virtually lick the flap to seal it before exiting my virtual house to go to the virtual post-office to buy virtual stamps? Even in a game-world, would anyone want to, once the novelty wore off?

Heck no: I click "Send" on my e-mail client.

All the 3D parts of the workflow get removed, because they're tedious and tiring and not necessary for the goal. There may be some useful 3D visualizations for understanding things, but everybody will quickly realize that standing and crouching and waving their arms around all day "picking up" data-objects and and "dropping" them into virtual filing zones is going nowhere. Moving a mouse is so much faster and easier, even more-so with abstract filter/assistant tools.

To do anything practical I think you'd need to distinguish between wealth as in owning a company and as in money you spend on things for yourself like houses and cars. You could make a case for limiting the second one.

The trouble with restricting owning a company type wealth is what do you do with cases like Google or Facebook where some people build a better bit of software and because people like using it the company becomes valuable? Do you just ban successful ventures? Or confiscate them? When that's been tried under communism it hasn't worked very well.

> IQ scores show extreme subnormal intellectual ability. Scores above that (including the majority of below average scores) tell us precisely nothing. Zero. Nada. Nowt.

That's just not true. Among other things, they quite reliably predict how well you will do on an IQ test 10 years from now. This might sound trivial, but it's a good indicator that they are:

1. Measuring something

2. Measuring something that is intrinsic, in the sense of it being stable over time.
I've never driven a tesla.

I've also never had my steering wheel randomly stop working in the middle of driving.

I can't help but think reality follows fiction

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/car-balk/

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason at all, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally, executing a manoeuver such as a left-turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the engine.

4. When your car died on the freeway for no reason, you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought 'Car95' or 'CarNT', and then added more seats.

6. Apple would make a car powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five per cent of the roads.

7. Oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single 'general car default' warning light.

8. New seats would force every-one to have the same size butt.

9. The airbag would say 'Are you sure?' before going off.

10. Occasionally, for no reason, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of road maps from Rand-McNally (a subsidiary of GM), even though they neither need them nor want them. Trying to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You would press the 'start' button to shut off the engine.
TL;DR: There was no intentional structuring, just Conway's law[1] in action

I think you misunderstood: the organizations where PageRank worked best also put zero thought into it. I think it's more like holdovers from 90s and 2000s management trends emergently created an intranet structure which fit the assumptions underlying PageRank. Even interdepartmental tensions may have helped due to imitating the company behaviors of those eras.
