Now take that beautiful application you have made and your customers want, and beg the trolls who sit between you and them for permission to distribute it.

Assuming you get said permission some weeks later, now hand over double-digit percentages of your top-line revenue to these despicable rent-seekers, do the same with your tax payments and notice how you're left with less than 30% of the value you have created.
Because the business side doesn't want to communicate on the 'success' of offshoring. Which, to be fair, isn't an issue if you pay the locals fairly, have a correct vulture based on good communication and clear vision.

I've worked for a French bank that messed up its tech offshoring badly, and is one of the _European_ bank that spend the most for its IT division, despite being nowhere near the top _french_ bank in revenue.
I am looking forward to trying this. Currently use KDE(Wayland) and was looking to move to Wayfire as I really don't need all the things being offered in KDE and Wayfire satisfied all my needs from a WM/Compositor.
In truth you need to check political beliefs that aren't in line with the company's. My previous job, many were very vocal supporters of Israel and that tolerated, support for suffering Palestinians was not. It needs to wholesale. Accept all political discourse or none.

>Either you build the skills to specialize, or you don't and wither away.

Or you can coast on the wealth built by the hard working generations before you and let the immigrants specialize and work hard while you rent seek them. This goes for people and for countries.
A forced divestiture is a very different thing than a ban. The divestiture requirements are also very open. A new owner headquartered in all but a very short list of countries labelled as adversarial would satisfy it.

Flagging this for the very misleading headline.
> The irony to me is that in a lot of ways they're trying to be Apple, but without Apple's strategic thinking - it's more cosplaying Apple

I hope this is the main lesson people will take from Humane. Not the "scam", "AI hype", "laser bullshit" angles. The top execs fundamentally deluded themselves into thinking that "the process is the product". During their stealth startup years their marketing was almost entirely "we're from Apple, we're perfectionists, we believe tech should feel like magic". They did Jony Ive-style videos. They talk about "intent", "craftsmanship", "design". And now they're adopting the reality distortion field. But they're merely cosplaying Apple, without the substance. They made a "less-intrusive" smartphone-killer that relies on the most intrusive input method ever! No product-market fit, no viable go-to-market ($700 + $24/mo).

It's Helene Deutsch's "as-if personality", but as a startup. The execs confuse appearances with reality. Liz Holmes copied the clothing, they're copying "the philosophy", but misunderstood its essence. They're almost Shakespearian characters, but the employees should leave now before it meets a tragic end.

If you bought Palo Alto Network as soon as the Nancy Pelosi Politician Trade news was released, you would have made +35% in 48 hours.

If you bought FRGE as soon as the Nancy Pelosi Politician Trade news was released, you would have made +46% in 48 hours.

The strategy is simple: buy first, sell 48 hours later.

This sounds like an American viewpoint. In Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe they are pretty cheap to install, and rarely require additional insulation.

It may be that they're relatively new to your area, so the demand is outstripping supply of installers who have been doing this for 30+ years and as such are charging to that effect.
But then there is the intentional curvature in ancient stone columns, where ther the pillar is neither a perfect cylinder nor even a perfect cone, and it's on purpose because actual perfect forms don't look right to humans.

Like one part of the article shows the Apple logo in a circle, and the correct centering is not to have all points on the logo equidistant from the circle, but to allow the leaf to go a lot closer than the rest.

As someone who educated himself as a Jew in adulthood, the beauty of matza is its metaphoric representation of humility. Leavening represents ego rising and avoiding it for the 8 days of passover is a physical reminder of humility.

Prior to passover, we do a careful search of our household to find and remove leavened bread, even small bits. This is analogous to soul-searching for things within us where ego dominates and gets in the way of the kind of people we want to be. The symbolism of finding and taking the effort to remove these traces (or large chunks) of ego is powerful, and passover is a great periodic reminder to take this kind of inner inventory.

And then on the physical level, and still related to ego, I think there's a lot of little "addictions" that we have as people. "I can't live w/o a muffin in the morning" or whatever is pretty benign as far as addictions go, but even the difficulty of giving that up shows how much of our behavior is ruled by little irrelevant things in the world. And then our ability to get over that and just eat matzo for 8 days proves to ourselves that we can ultimately overcome these addictions that they don't matter. A modern version of that might be "for 8 days, you can only use a feature phone, no touchscreen devices!" :)

Now that I said all of this, I have to fess up that I love the crunchiness of Matza which I for the first time tasted around age 9 when the Soviet Union was opening up and someone brought us Matza from the US. It was literally my first "taste" of religion.

EDIT: to tie it together - passover is a holiday about freedom. On the literal level, exodus from slavery. On the metaphorical level, liberation from ego-domination and unconscious subjugation to the world instead of making active choices. Your ability to chose to just eat matza for 8 days is an assertion of your freedom over that. Your ego, and the world, would rather you load up on bagels - but you are somehow finding within yourself to forego that because of higher aspiration (even if that aspiration is merely to continue traditions of your ancestors) - and that is amazing and powerful in and of itself.
because it does redirect mobile users there

obviously it should do the same in the other direction
Seems entirely reasonable to me. Make an app you market as suitable for teens, show your working that led you to decide that suitability.
This really is starting to sound like all the hysteria from the 80s, 90s about Doom, baggy pants, gangster rap music, punk rock music, satanism in the woods, I could go on and on.

Data collection is bad, and I wish I could raise kids without the need for smartphones, but it does feel a bit overkill now all this hysteria.
Humans brains are pattern recognition machines. It’s how you are able to read efficiently, why you enjoy music, and why you are able to say “this alley seems shifty, best not enter it.”

Most people are able to naturally filter out most of it. You’re just a little less equipped to. People with ADHD have similar problems.

Psychedelics remove most of those filters, causing someone’s brain to get the raw data including all the anomalies in the processing, which makes patterns (visual and mental) both suddenly much more apparent and do weird things :)
I have repeatedly and literally seen this argument applied to renewables. I've even seen it on HN.
I think they should just ban Tiktok everywhere.

If an App would be developed in Europe or in the US, it would have no chance against CCP in China, and possibly get copied and offered in China by a Chinese player.

The West stance against China is laughable, we can't play democratic games against an autocracy, when we do, it happens what happened with Ukraine, it gets invaded.
Cool, now apply this scrutiny to Facebook, Instagram, video games, board games, card games, sports, my job, and capitalism in general.

Sure, as long as you measure the right thing.

The sticker prices for tuition have drastically increased, but scholarships & bursaries have kept pace, so the average price paid for residents hasn't exceeded inflation. For example, tuition at Harvard for anybody with a household income of less than $150K is $0. Average tuition has gone up drastically, but it is foreigners who are footing the bill. If you exclude foreigners, the deviation is greatly up but the average isn't.

And for housing, how do you accommodate for rising standards? The kind of cramped shared roomming that I used when I was 19 just doesn't exist anymore. The closest approximation is 4 people splitting a 2br apartment. That's less than what I paid, CPI adjusted.
> What I'm saying is that foreigners (whatever skin color they have) are considered as a outgroup, and then, people associate easy characteristics of these outgroup as "being foreigner". This is for example why black-skin people who live in white-skin-dominated countries for generations are still strongly associated as being "foreigner" even if they are less foreigner than the white-skin person who was born 500 kilometers away and grew up in a totally different culture.

I'm not sure it actually works that way though. My impression as an outsider observer: many people from southern India have skin as dark as many African-Americans do, but if they immigrate to the US, while it wouldn't be true to say that none of them ever experience any discrimination and prejudice, on the whole it is at a significantly lower level than what African-Americans experience. A lot of the problems the African-American community experiences are arguably due to history (slavery, Jim Crow, etc) rather than skin colour in itself, which is why many immigrants with equally dark skin don't experience the same degree of difficulties, and find a much smoother path to integration with the American mainstream.

The worker usually has no input on that anyways, what can you realistically do if the business model doesn't work?
I tend to agree with this sentiment in general, given the outcome of the misstep.

But I think it is a great poverty of mind and a sad commentary that things cannot be said without risking having their meaning turned inside out and amplified in their grotesquely mutated form by eager syncophants of pseudoreligios thought police.

It really has the smell of 1600s style witch hunts.
Heh, engineering is being about as precise and accurate as needed. Knowing that your taking a shortcut and shrugging and saying "this is easier and still works" is the peak of engineering.

> Countering that is the immense gravitational weight of the star itself, pressing inward with all the might that 1,027 tons of hydrogen and helium can muster.

More like 2 x 10^27 tons.

The first option steals momentum from Jupiter to reach a larger orbit:

> So instead, we’ll have to resort to asteroids. We can send them on long orbits that loop around Jupiter, using their gravitational interactions to speed up the asteroid in exchange for a slight slowing of the giant planet’s motion. We can then return the asteroid to Earth, looping it in the opposite direction, slowing it down and giving us a boost.

> The difference from a single pass will be barely measurable, let alone noticeable. It’s not like random floating space rocks can carry that much kinetic energy with them. But we just have to set it on repeat, looping over and over for hundreds of millions of years, nudging the Earth into ever higher orbits to escape the increasing ferocity of the Sun. If our descendants can manage it, it will keep our planet in the safe band of the habitable zone.
Well, watching content you like (it seems young people do on TikTok) is one thing, giving rewards to watch whatever content really is another. It’s grooming a new generation for the race-to-the-bottom gig economy.
As someone younger who grew up in a time where you would get a cell phone during teenage years, I can't say I empathize with your view of "my device" vs "interruption device".

Although there are likely an overwhelming majority of my peers who do have an interruption device phone, I refuse my phone not be My device, and I explicitly buy phones that I know I can customize (unlock bootloaders, flash roms, or simply just know it has the interop capabilities I need to make it my own). Where this is in opposition with your statement is that I do have social media, mail and even work email on my phone, I just chose to customize it to not be interrupting to work and personal life (though obviously that line is different for everyone).

Of course I'm not saying your way is wrong at all, just sharing my experience.
In the context of aircraft carriers it probably is never a good idea to have them directly at the front. If it is close enough to be shot down by a Texan wielding a sawed of shotgun it probably is too close to the front. Same is true for the ship kind, if you can walk up to it with a welder and cut holes into its armor plating it is too close.

In the context of transportation planes seem to have significant issues dealing with loons wielding laser pointers. So unless you classify those as military technology you will have a hard time finding something cheaper and easier to get your hands on.
Lots of people publish papers to get cited and be first in the field, without any rigorous research behind it, to try to net them a good career.

Mostly recently the best to do is to ignore this, and soon enough the things that are true will emerge, without academia.

The media is the worst, that tends to look for whatever research that would be click-baity. It's a real waste of time to follow FT and others.
It’s not just hysteria because previous hysterias were from a position of ignorance, whereas with TikTok, etc. everyone has experienced the negative effects of social media, and secondly no teens ever said that their listening to rock music was a problem for them, but when surveyed most teens agree social media is bad for them.
I should have added that my perspective is one of a founder, not an employee. It is just my observation of behaviour, not a moral position.

Well, that article also mentioned the 'other service', i.e. FM, which more readily penetrates buildings and underground facilities and covers wider areas. And if there is a disaster, there's always the danger that remaining cells in the affected area are overcrowded.
The EU is applying similar scrutiny to other social networks as well.

Your comment reeks of whataboutism. If we need to apply the same scrutiny to everything at the same time we wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
The west needs to cut itself off from Chinese manufacturing before it can do anything meaningful, and that's no easy task.

Much of the world has spent the last 80 years chasing globalization as the solution to avoiding nuclear war. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long, but that strategy was never going to be sustainable and we're seeing cracks really start to erode these days.

To be clear though, China isn't going to invade the US. Invading your neighbor is hard enough, invading another super power on the other side of an ocean is impossible.
They're used to floods in Muscat - the Muttrah Souq (biggest market, about 5000 vendors) is part of the very historical floodpath and it floods 1-2 feet deep at least annually. Generally the merchants don't lose their merchandise to the floods, even when it was built in the 1800's the shops were raised up several feet and the corridors were built with the intention to channel the flow of floodwater to the sea, just 45 meters from the entrance of the Souq.

But something of this magnitude really never happens, and I agree with you they were likely as unprepared for it as Texas would be for 8 inches of snow.

Former frontend developer here -- I did fight with these misalignments (typically those things that don't align were lots of nested containers, fighting with each other in different ways, so the solution was to clean them up and use one simple alignment).

But I stopped noticing these things, maybe because mobile UIs are a lot worse -- not in visual design, but in that they always do weird things and live their own life.

Misalignment is a tiny dirty spot on a clean but wrecked car.
Came to say almost exactly that. It’s interesting how much nostalgia there is for peak 90s UI, but not even Linux distros can escape the flat, uncontrasting, large padding interfaces.
> Dragging your cursor to a window’s title bar to move it takes an unneeded level of precision.

How does drinking|eating naturally fermented fruit or grains make someone a chemist?

You understand that elephants "discovered" alcohol also, does that make elephants chemists?

Even recreating the natural process on demand later on barely rates as "chemistry" given the lack of any need to understand the process.

This confused me until I realized c and v are adjacent on the keyboard.
You could use the same reasoning about anything that is called “addictive and toxic”. Sometimes something really is addictive and toxic and should have curbs on it. Instead of talking about what it sounds like we should discuss what it actually is. Is this app more like 80s satanism and is really much ado about nothing or is it more like social heroin?

Yes, you have a good point. And you are right about minimalism; I think though this is different in the way you state this example; reddit is now made to be annoying to make money with ads and data collection: I believe no one likes that. A better example would be: how about remake hn with shadcn ; I don’t think many would mind if it was still fast (which is not design anyway); it’s functional and clean. Reddit (new) is functional nor fast… that is not all design but js and all kinds of browser functionality hijacking to make it more likely you click on ads, lose your track so you go browse other things etc.
That's an extremely heavy burden that we've never forced on consumer products before.

Requiring every company to prove why something us suitable for their market also means the government has absolute control over what is and isn't acceptable for any citizen to have access to. That's some seriously distopian shit in my opinion.
I remember this being a problem for high school students that were involved in activities like search and rescue.
> why they haven't done so more aggressively

The pandemic proved that organizations can continue to function even if the workforce is distributed globally, plus visa processing in the US has basically ground to a halt due to systemic issues internally at USCIS.

This is the pandora's box that was opened by WFH and systemic incompetence in USCIS.
This is the first time I hear of a social network launching the business model to earn points for doom scrolling though.

In what way is assessing the age suitability of a game unprecedented? Games have had movie-like age guidelines for decades now.

And besides:

> The app is called TikTok Lite and offers the chance to "to complete challenging tasks and earn great rewards!"

> Tasks include watching vids, liking content, or following other users. Rewards include Amazon vouchers, PayPal gift cards, or TikTok's in-app currency that can be used to tip other members.

Is this a “game”? Really?
The standard answer is taxes, backed the existing monopoly on use of force by government.

If we've gone so far that governments cannot stand up against private robot armies then that's not an option anymore, but the point is not to get there.
Or to the articles point, it’s like the hysteria around cigarettes - and the research is still in early days.
As a parent today, I often wonder if my concerns are the same as every parent of prior generations and that things will turn out just fine.

But I can’t shake the thought that the impact of social media and addictive games for some kids can’t be written off as just a phase they are going through. I worry so much that they will carry the negative impacts into adulthood.
