Just give us a commbadge then.

Star Trek had it right all along. Commbadge (or flip communicator) is for talking. A PADD is for reading, writing, media consumption. A tricorder is for recording, remote sensing and remote operating needs. You always have at minimum the first one when in the go. When working, you usually have all on you. But then, at home and work you also have proper computer terminals available and then some.

10 years ago, I thought this was a quite obsolete vision, given how our smartphones are so multifunctional. These days I feel it was prescient, and that our phones are a bad idea, for human nature reasons.
It's possible to use a computer network for commercial transactions. For example, use the network to transfer data to browse selections of products and services, make payments and complete purchases.

It's also possible to use a computer network for advertising. For example, putting ads one every page of every website so when a www user is reading some noncommercial page, ads are everywhere. Or when a www user is communicating about noncommercial topics over someone else's website,^1 ads are everywhere.

1. A dumb idea because of "tech" company surveillance and ads

IMHO, the two are not mutually inclusive. Perhaps there are only so many widgets that can be sold over the web. But with ads, there is no limit. The ads are not there to provide "free" services despite the messaging from Silicon Valley. The ads are there so that so-called "tech" companies can make money. They do not even have any widgets to sell. They have nothing that web users will pay for. Thus, surveillance and ads.

A common retort every time someone mentions that the original web had no ads usually goes something like "The early web sucked" or "I don't wan't to go back to the early web". But that is not the point of mentioning the original web. With today's hardware, there is no going back. The internet is incredibly fast now. It does not have to suck anymore.

The point of mentioning the early web without all the ads is that bogus claims by entities like Mozilla that "the web needs ads to survive" or by Google that they are "making the web faster" while still delivering same/more ads are pure nonsense. The web does not need ads. Ads are what makes the web slow. Google deliberately adds delay to webpages when they "load" so ad auctions can take place.

At the same time, it is common to HN commenters reminiscing about the early web and complaining about the current web.
I really wish the push had been for approval voting instead of ranked choice voting.

I think ranked choice is theoretically good, but it's relatively complicated, and complexity can lead to confusion which provides an opening for unscrupulous candidates (seems to be a much bigger problem than it used to be) to claim the results are illegitimate.

Approval voting is dead simple and seems to solve the same problem. I think it would be a lot harder to argue against approval voting.
> The way you would know is that there would be an article about the police requesting it.

I think police just send requests to google for location info without specifying how that data was obtained. It's either, "Tell us everything you know about the location of this user between timestamp one and timestamp two", or "Tell us everything you know about all persons within however many miles of this location between timestamp one and timestamp two" and they don't bother sending requests like "Give us the data from your Location Reporting feature" or "Give us all the data from your Find My Phone feature" or "Give us all the data from your Nearby Connections API"
As in, assuming the grammar on "flies" is wrong and then misinterpreting it?

Otherwise I don't really see anywhere to go down the wrong path except for very small things like realizing a possible noun is an adjective on the very next word.

out-of-touch author that has probably never used redbox, or never understood it.

If your time means nothing, streaming. otherwise

- redbox had a good selection of current movies

- you had to decide in a short amount of time

- you had to watch specific movies in a dedicated time

- the movies were associated with getting out of the house

redbox was good for families. You could go to the grocery store and let your kid choose what movie they wanted to rent. Kids don't have that many choices in an adult world. They got a physical disk they had to play themselves, and when it was returned it was gone.

For couples, they could browse together and take a movie, maybe two home.

I think netflix/streaming is sort of the opposite. Unbounded time picking a movie,
so an endless search for something not-as-terrible, sometimes not even coming up with something to watch. Quickly finishing anything decent (fewer new movies than redbox), then vast quantities of wasted time watching not-decent content.

The answer should then be to get a better judgement of who is likely to become dictator, not to say "wait until they become dictator first." Like, if you really think they're going to be dictator, it would be best to stop them before they become one; it's harder to oppose a dictator once they fully control the government. It's for that reason that people say they would go back in time to kill Hitler. That's why I'm calling your argument silly.
I wonder if it would run under Wine?
I recently dealt with something like this. Someone ran a `delete *` statement which truncated a bunch of tables in production with critical business data. They had autocommit on in their database client. Luckily, there was a backup available which restored the data. After the analysis, it was decided to provision less privileged roles and explicitly turn off autocommit in all database clients. I am also introducing a PR workflow with static analysis that detects these issues. Nobody was fired and no names were ever mentioned in the announcements.
> enabling an app to use my data for the service I believe it provides and them using it for everything else.

I completely agree, but I think we need to push society away from requiring for profit products into our life, or at least recognize that they have an association cost to the user. What is the reasonable expectation of a business to profit off a product that we’ve deemed “required”? Who would make or support a product they can’t profit on?

In the EU, they required Facebook to offer a no-tracking version of the product, which meta replied by making a paid tier. Then they required Facebook to not charge for their no-tracking version. So why should facebook stay in the EU if it can’t profit from providing a service? While no one will shed a tear over Meta’s business, it is a massive way for people to connect with each other. Google Maps could theoretically suffer the same fate - and free access to maps seems like a public good. YouTube is another example that can be for the public good due to its educational content. The list of products that are “free” and probably good for society is huge now thanks to effective online advertising.

I don’t want us to shed a tear for billionaire-corporations profit margins, but instead address that we’ve come to rely on them and they probably won’t be altruistic about watching their profits legislated away.
Why would you need to prove "all"? If it's anywhere near that widespread it should be easy to demonstrate a ton of people not hiring based on false evidence. And it's hard to argue it wasn't malicious or negligent if it's that widespread.

In our organization, remote meetings don't suck. It more or less just happened organically because we are a fairly flat organization but in a traditional industry.

Mostly no cameras. I don't even own a webcam.

A meeting is called for a reason (even if it's recurring). We have no "this is the morning meeting" kind of meetings.

There a single person in charge of the meeting. This is most often the person who wants to get resolved the thing the meeting is about. This isn't enforced it's just a natural consequence of someone booking a meeting.

Most meetings are between 2-5 people. Large recurring meetings are maybe max 12-15 people. In the large meeting, there is a rough agenda and everyone speaks to their part of the agenda in turn. Anyone can speak up if they have something relevant to add but otherwise they are muted. This is usually when I get my laundry folded.

From the second paragraph in the linked article:

>Location History is turned off by default, so a user must take several affirmative steps before Google begins tracking and storing his Location History data. [...] Roughly one-third of active Google users have enabled Location History.

This is specifically about the opt-in location history service, not some sort of opt-out/mandatory location reporting that's on android phones.
While some currencies from developing nations fail, it just doesn't happen with those from rich countries, because the country has the assets to intervene if there's trouble. With stablecoins, when things get bad it just dies and goes to nothing.

There are incidents where a national currency winds up getting devalued, like when Soros bet against the UK pound. But proportionately that's a small decrease in value, the pound didn't go to zero like failing stablecoins do.

That link is a story from 2020 about a geofence warrant. It appears that around the end of last year, Google changed their system to store location on the device (with optional encrypted backups), so warrants like that won't work anymore. More info:

Is This the End of Geofence Warrants?
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/end-geofence-warrants

It might not be completely over. There might be other other location stored somewhere. But, it's important to celebrate the win when something like this happens.
Maybe we can back door that into this app… quietly
Source? According to the article it's presented to the user in pretty straightforward language:

Tracking down >1 people who all rejected you and proving they all rejected you because of a video is strictly more difficult than tracking down 1. In addition, a video being popular doesn’t have anything to do with the intent of the person who posted it.

Does anyone know what this is: “QEMU TCTI implementation was pivotal for this JIT-less build.”
An important part of my suggestion was the normalized output, not the advertising data the mfr provides.

The nutrition labels are pretty good (though sometimes the serving size is bogus — that should be normalized by the program). Also the unit cost (price per oz or whatever) is manipulated by the seller or mfr, and that should be usefully normalized too.
Google used to (still does?) disable many features of Maps if location history was disabled. I kept it off, but could easily see many people felt forced to give up on their privacy for the convenience.
That data could corroborate one's story before it was considered to have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
> They have an huge reputational risk

I don't understand this argument. The most hated corporations in the US are all insanely rich and are at zero risk of going out of business even though most people hate them. After a certain point, corporations have basically nothing to fear from bad press. Google specifically has been found guilty of violating the law and people's privacy on numerous occasions already, including misleading users into thinking they had turned off location tracking in their account settings even though Google was still collecting that information. Here's a short and very incomplete list:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/technology/google-privacy...

https://www.reuters.com/legal/google-settles-5-billion-consu...

https://apnews.com/article/google-chrome-privacy-lawsuit-set...

What reputation does Google have to protect at this point?
They've repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to break the law when it's convenient for them and even after being caught they've generally profited from doing so and at no point were they in danger of going out of business due to punitive fines.

> Frankly the lack of whistleblowers or leaks should be a massive sign that it’s not happening.

whistleblowers are extremely rare. The few protections they have are being reduced all the time, and the risk is huge. Very few people will give up their career and risk becoming unhirable.
And I admire him for his principles during that time. That said, regarding “The Mysteries”, I just feel that others wax poetic about it because of Bill. If anyone else was attached to this book, nobody would give a damn. I’m sorry I expected more and am hype resistant. And I say this as someone that loved Calvin and Hobbes.

To be fair to Bill… he didn’t hype up anything about it. The media did. It was heralded as the second coming and, much like Duke Nukem Forever, some things are best left in the past. It’s ok.

You can't, in the same way you wouldn't know whether Carl Sagan really has an invisible dragon in his garage or not. It's impossible to prove a negative.

>It doesn't matter if you delete the list of GPS coordinates from your google account because what you can't delete is the "This user is gay and often goes to gay bars on Saturdays" flag that google put there the instant they got that data.

Is there any evidence this actually happens? The bike thief example you linked is more straightforwardly explained with police using a geofence warrant, rather than some ML system that recorded "this guy bikes at 4pm to 6pm".
My 6 year old loves the colorful Sunday ones... but he has me read them to him and I don't think for many of them he doesn't 'get it' yet. My guess is that the truly ideal age is around 9 or 10. That being said, I think there's no wrong time to introduce them.
> When Trump claims he hasn't even read it, I don't think he's lying

Sure, not Trump's strong point at all. He didn't even take part in the decades long slow campaign to stack the Supreme Court and overthrow Roe V. Wade.

Point is, he took part by taking advice from the very people that laid out Project 2025 and he will again - it's a prepacked hit the ground running scheme to solve many of the gripes Trump had last time around.

Lousy public servants stopping Trump from doing his thing? No longer a problem, that's an early recommended fix from Project 2025 to redefine how firing and hiring works.

Very close to my own rules for meetings.

- Meetings must have a purpose. (to echo you above)

- The meeting must have a result, some sort of action or next step. Only one.

- When the meeting has created a result to address the purpose, the meeting is over.

- Someone runs the meeting. They decide when the result has been achieved. (to echo you above)

- Someone (explicitly not the meeting runner) takes notes, action items, etc, and records the purpose and result.

- The rule is, you invite people who are required to achieve the result. Other people, marked as optional, may attend if they feel they are necessary. Otherwise, optional attendance defaults to not attending.

- No recurring meetings, no "informational updates", those we call something else. A hangout. A discussion. A presentation.
That clarifies things, thank you!
