> You're not the target market

I own the business and I buy stuff all the time, just not from places that say "call for pricing".

I've got too many other things going on to waste time listening to some lame pitch from a guy who was probably selling shoes last week.

If they don't want to sell me stuff because I'm "not their target market", that's fine with me.

I'll buy it elsewhere.

I'm not sure what crazoid B-school theory says that you should make it harder for customers to buy your stuff, but I'm pretty sure that's a really bad theory.
I don’t buy this argument…especially any speculation about it making it worse. I certainly don’t accept this notion that we “probably shouldn't scam bait and just let some people get monetarily victimized because some other person half a world away might be beaten by another”.

Someone evil enough to traffic and enslave another to scam grannies is not going to give less beatings if Kitboga stops what he is doing. These content producers are shining a light on these assholes, the more views they get the more the people see and can identify and convey the red flags to their loved ones to shrink the market of potential victims.
I doubt it hurts very much.

Are the names of these people even public?

I don't think that many companies really do the kind of due diligence for IC positions that would discover someones involvement in a stunt like this, beyond maybe a couple of employee provided reference checks.

Besides, there are plenty of ideologically sympathetic hiring managers in the industry.
If one of your employees is going around shooting people would calling the cops on them also be beyond the pale?
i suspect the appeal is the constraints. That you can tell a story and express emotion with 16x16 figures is an interesting counterargument to the "we need a trillion polygons per second to render a few hairs".

HR was being kind calling it a sit in. From the article: "They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers".

Defacing property is not part of a sit-in.
I wouldn’t call most of those Amazon, FB, YouTube etc, people the actual smart people either. They’re mostly just lucky. What made Facebook or YouTube successful over any other competitor? Just luck that their design turned out to be the one people like more?

They mistakenly think their success is due to how skilled or smart they are they think they’re hot shit and their thoughts are gold. But most of them are just like Elon Musk: average intelligence people who got lucky enough to climb to the top of the pile.

The same is true for most software people. We think we’re super smart because we have logical thinking and understand a complicated thing that most people don’t, but then you can always get a good laugh reading the HN crowd try to talk smart on other subjects like physics / quantum mechanics.

You are continuing to show exactly why you're not the target market. Those "call for pricing" companies are targeting large enterprises, not one person owned businesses. That you self select out of their market is exactly what they want. And yes, sometimes companies do make it harder to buy stuff simply because they can make more money and save on customer support and other operational costs if they have a few large companies paying them millions over having many smaller ones paying thousands.

I was referring to the observational proof when I said that - the entire Higgs craze was about the proof - not about math as both of you guys are saying. The math part was thought of in the 60s, 2012 was about the actual discovery - did you think LHC was a math lab? The point was they said they could observe it in 2012.

What that guy above said about E=mc^2 was random nonsense that has nothing to do with this story, like a lot of people on this site he's in Jordan Peterson fashion just randomly asserting like a know-it-all with no thought behind the statements or proof to back them up. Despite his high score here you can safely ignore what he said about completing the Standard Model (billiard ball hypothesis) it doesn't, Standard Model is still incomplete, and there's no proof that subatomic structures even exist as particles - let alone all the subsequent theories predicated on that.

> Clearly this isn't always true

In what case can you say there is proof something exists without having any observable evidence for it - even if the math "checks out"? What - dark matter? Ghosts?

Unfortunately, Qt's only interest seems to lay in the squeezing of their old existing customers, an ever-dwindling customer base as embedded socs capable of running web browsers become cheaper and more accessible. They _still_ don't seem to be taking the threat of web technologies seriously; Where web tech can now run on desktop, mobile, and servers, QtWeb is still a legal and technical minefield.

They also stopped distributing precompiled versions of Qt publicly, a baffling decision as it hurts their adoption rates even more.

From what I see, the Qt Company behaves as if web technologies don't exist. It'll be interesting to see how this strategy will play out for them.

That’s quite a common pricing model isn’t it?

You get a perpetual licence with an option for continuing to get updates after the first year.

If it was a monthly subscription there would be lots of complaints too.

Maybe it is a bit expensive but I do think we should reserve the word “scam” for actual scams :) The pricing is at least extremely clear, even if you don’t agree with it.

I agree a trial would be nice. I wouldn’t buy this without being able to try it.

> What a soulless perspective.

disagree, strongly. you present a false dichotomy. you can be a human with a soul and disagree (strongly) with your employer and still take their salary to do your job. it's not your job to decide how the software you build is used - there's several democratic governments, shareholders, company officers, etc. that get to decide that. when you are an employee that is the deal you made when you decided to work for them.

> Most software jobs are not paying their workers a salary for them to become soulless robots. They are paying you to produce code, and to have expertise on the matters at hand.

agree. totally true. notice how they are specifically not paying you to protest global political issues in their executive offices.

> I will remain a free opinionated human, regardless of whether I am taking a paycheck or not, and if the company does not want a human, they can fire me and try to replace me with someone like you, or with an AI.

again, totally understandable and fine.

however, these people are not just "opinionated". they decided to stage a "protest". that is NOT what they were being paid to do. and they decided to protest their own employer. on that employer's property. you are free to have your own opinion about your employer, his politics, his customers, etc. you are not free to stage a takeover and make a public protest about it on his property. you are not free to disagree publicly and embarrass or harass him and then expect he will not hire someone else next week instead of you. if you don't like it: buy a majority position or run for office. if you really can't stomach it, then the only ethical thing to do is quit - you can demonstrate your conviction by sacrificing yourself. but you have no right to injure/annoy/bother anyone else about your political ideas at work.

from a pragmatic standpoint, that was stupid. from a practical standpoint, it will do nothing to help their cause, quite likely damage it instead. it doesn't demonstrate good ethics, "having a soul" or anything like that. it demonstrates incredible immaturity, entitlement, and naivete.

I see Jews being harassed, synagogues vandalized, 4chan-tier anti-semitic conspiracy theories going around leftist circles, and more broadly I see social media armchair activists who may or may not be relevant but do affect public opinion parroting Hamas propaganda wholesale, and the protesters featured in this post's article exemplify exactly that mentality which is what I was initially describing. Most people are reasonable, but I'm not concerned with people who know the difference between a hot war and a genocide.

Most companies aren't looking to hire adults who think they are still in college and think doing a sit-in in the deans office is important use of their time and an effective tactic. Let alone people getting arrested for trespassing.

Some hiring managers might like their tweets and show support in their personal time but when it comes down to actually hiring them they'll wonder if this person will be disruptive and constantly bring their personal activist life into the workplace, making other employees lives difficult, lack self control and say the wrong thing to customers, etc.

browser history is a log and presumably contains things one doesn't care about after reading
but definitely so for tabs and bookmarks as "things that are interesting" - the tab is notable because it has a back/forward aspect.

It seems to me in this day & age you have media organization tools (jellyfin? I think it's called?) that just handle everything. I'd love to see some basic AI language model (more of the BERT/gensim flavor likely) that can similarly auto-organize trounces of bookmarks, I have way too many.

The other interesting and increasingly relevant feature towards bookmarks would be the concept of saving them for posteriority, as we know the internet is not forever, whether this means a local save or a ping to archive.org as to say "someone bookmarked this maybe you can hang onto it". The trick of it there is not just capturing all the content of a webpage including videos, but if we say "tabs are bookmarks" then maybe you want to capture the back/forward button pages to a degree.

Anyway that's what my dream browser might look like. Also dream browser powerfully denies browser fingerprinting.

Fair enough, in the struggle to avoid a WoT I implied some stuff. For clarification, insert the following paragraph after "The headline is what matters:"

The headline incidentally fosters the view that inflation is still a major problem, which many people hold. It reinforces their gut feeling that it's been much higher than reported, and by extension, that the reported end of the wave is untrue. As inflation and the smell of conspiracy rise to top-of-mind, they ignite blame against the current administration. The truth is that the inflation wave is essentially gone, and that the administration cannot be blamed for it in the first place.

Short stints of extreme rainfall don’t do anything beneficial. You need existing mass water storage, and even if you can keep the water it doesn’t magically solve the problem of limited nutrients in sand (and in fact can reduce the amount of nutrients in future due to runoff)

The lack of nutrients, and the dearth of plants that can retain water while also handling the more common case of no water and extreme heat further limit any idea of what planting crops to prevent run off.
I am a native Detroiter. I watched the city decline for over fifty years after the 1967 riots. It hurt me because I remembered a time as a kid when it was a totally different city. They hit rock bottom during the bankruptcy.

Dan Gilbert then made a multi-billion dollar bet by buying twenty buildings downtown. Slowly things began to turn around. Looking back it really started to turn when the chief criticism was sure downtown is fine but the neighborhoods are not. Then the city began investments in a number of neighborhoods and it was harder for critics to make that blanket statement.

COVID hit Detroit harder than any other city in America except for New York. Progress came to a complete halt and the city lost a number of its senior leaders. But now it has begun again. I am certain the folks that attended the Super Bowl there will be shocked when they're at the NFL draft how much has changed.

Now it is Ford's turn to make a big bet. I remember the old depot and it was simply magnificent. Bill Ford says it is better than before and I will withhold judgement until I get inside this summer.

I urge you to make a visit. Detroit doesn't have homeless living in tents and RV's on the street. No open air drug markets. A large number of the abandoned factories, retail outlets and houses have been torn down or rehabbed. But the city lacks much mass transit and the schools are still horrible.

I wouldn't characterize it as thought-provoking or inquisitive. They criticize the music as if they are an royally appointed arbiter of good music, but never get to the heart of what they are actually criticizing, only remarking that the music is no longer popular and that it is not to their taste. They leverage this criticism of it not being to their taste to make the judgement that it not age well, as if they are making some universal self-evident observation, which I found absolutely tasteless and unconstructive. Given the down votes others may have felt the same way.
Pricing comments aside, this looks very nicely designed and executed.

I kinda get poker, blackjack, etc. as there's at least a human element to it.

But slots...oh boy. They're predetermined and if it goes off script, you don't actually win, sorry. In that case, I think the gamification of it should be outlawed altogether as misleading consumers. How many people would use slots if it were just putting a dollar in the slot, then a screen saying 'lose' and that's that? Because that's exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
A ton of skill, talent, adaptability, and mountains of hard work are still prerequisites for "getting lucky" in that way though. Just because luck plays a big role doesn't make it the only factor.
