Even back in T9 days i preferred to write "manually" - then again i don't really write that much on my phone.

That said, i'd rather get something like a PinePhone, the software might be worse than most Android devices but at least i can replace/rewrite/do_something_with it.
What makes you think that? The US isn't a single person.
> For example, Steve Jobs used to run an annual retreat for what he considered the 100 most important people at Apple, and these were not the 100 people highest on the org chart. Can you imagine the force of will it would take to do this at the average company? And yet imagine how useful such a thing could be. It could make a big company feel like a startup.

Can you imagine being the 101st to 110th most important and not getting an invite, while people with lower rank do?

I suspect the value of such a tradition is only able to be captured in very large organizations, otherwise it’s just a morale-destroying exercise for 80%.

I would assume a more important factor was that Germany and Japan were both very organized, successful industrialized societies long before facing their respective downfalls in the wars. Iraq and Afghanistan both had a very, very different starting position and it would be unreasonable to expect a similar outcome.
I've heard a lot of similar concerns from people who don't have much experience with VR. The general assumption is, that the display format is so immersive, that depictions of offensive content will somehow leave a greater impression than normal.

In my experience, this doesn't happen. I find the content equally disturbing (or not), regardless of whether it's on a phone, desktop or headset.

Show HN: The first website brokerage for selling side projects
Hey HN: I run Easily Acquired - we help founders sell their side projects and online businesses more efficiently and for higher prices. Most brokerages require 6 figures in annual revenue to even just speak about working with them, which is why at Easily Acquired we work with businesses making between $1k and $150k a year - catering to a lot more entrepreneurs.

Here's how we make the selling experience easier and more profitable:

-> We work directly with our network of buyers and marketplaces to ensure each business goes into the right hands and for the best price.

-> We compile everything to create a detailed, professional listing to attract high-quality buyers.

-> We handle all negotiations, getting the seller the maximum amount their business is worth.

-> We manage the entire payment process, working with trusted escrow services so they don't have to worry about the transaction.

Our fee structure is straightforward: we charge a 12% success fee only if the business sells - no hidden or upfront costs. This aligns our interests with the sellers - we're motivated to get the best possible deal.
The larger the company the more inconsistent the experience is because nobody is really truly held accountable to culture when they can (pretend) to produce business results. Even places that theoretically want to care usually just put it lower on the priority list and end up not caring by default.

I was promoted 7 times at Google to VP for basically doing what you write in the first sentence (at scale). Then I meet people who were laid off and felt they operated the same way.

The main difference seems to be I worked in areas that literally couldn’t afford to have the kind of managers and leaders that would ding people (vs support people) for doing this, so they didn’t.
The other folks worked in areas that made enough money that the culture could afford to be shitty, and it would take a long time to matter. So it was.

my experience is that eventually the company circumstances change which requires different cultures to operate differently to still be successful. Either they do or the company dies.

PG mostly seems to be suggesting that we should try hard to avoid the shitty cultures in the first place rather than accept it as an artifact of scale. I’m not sure I believe that’s possible past a certain size but I do think it’s interesting to try. But for now, I mostly come down on the side of build smaller companies that are worth more.
Just so you know, there have been tones of discussion of AdNausea on hn:

It is a fork of uBlock origin.

The concept sounds great: support the websites you visit while screwing the advertiser. (Did I even understand this correctly?)

But I have a strong feeling like there is a caveat somewhere in here. I see only positive things about AdNausea, but good technology should be well discussed from both sides.

Also, I have a hunch like it is incompatible with privacy browsers out of the box.

Don’t think of people as superstars. Think of them as individuals that are able to pay attention and consistently meet expectations.

I’m starting to think paying attention to what is happening is undervalued.
There has always been a vision in computing where you can access the same data with different tools.

In the Kernigan and Plauger Software Tools book that describes the Unix user space you could use tools like wc, awk, sort, uniq, and grep, bound together with the shell, to do all kinds of things on plain text files.

As a photographer of course I want to share images between Lightroom Classic and DxO and as a computer graphics “artist” (I almost want to say “technician”) I want to work with images in Photoshop, web editors, tools I write to create images, etc.

Shouldn’t I be able to make music with GarageBand and then listen to it in iTunes and then write a program that plays it through my smart speakers at sunrise to wake me up?

Office 95 revolved around COM which meant that a Microsoft Word file was a composite file that could also contain data from other programs like PowerPoint and Excel so I could embed a small spreadsheet in a word document. (The fact that this system was documented and open was a weakness as much as a strength because you never knew if the recipient of a file had all the applications to open it)

Currently Office uses a documented XML and ZIP based file format. It is easy-peasey to load data in Excel format into pandas to do data analysis (less error prone than CSV even.). It’s not hard to write a program in PHP or Java that makes an Excel sheet complete with formulas for somebody to fill in then have them upload it back to a web site and suck the data out.

Locked in data is one reason why the cloud and mobile age feels like a step backwards than forwards, never mind the possibility of losing your data because you couldn’t pay the bill or your vendor got bought by Google, etc.
+1 for this

I agree with you, In the world where information is overflowing, and communication is async, documentation is a great way to share knowledge
But the hard thing about documentation is updating it, since it keep getting outdated.
What we did as a team is we discuss and agree documentation should be made as part of our OKR, add doc as part of our process, and where we should put it; in hope of making it easier to share knowledge for older codebase, new joiners, or other team.

We use inline doc for engineering, and all other usually we use gdrive for detailed source of truth and for the summary we use https://getoutline.com/

This article could be said to be a discussion of the "start-up business" realization / concretization of generic problems in human societies which are also themselves instances of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_design / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_analysis and "imperfect abstraction" problems (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_abstraction).

This general problem has so very many guises! Delegation affords so much, but trust sure is tricky. (This even applies recursively to, say, taking advice from anyone who "seems to" have studied all there is to know about abstraction/modularity or "human delegation optimization" which is, basically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demarcation_problem.) It may be the single most central problem of the human condition and is probably a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem .

More directly related to the article, one main impediment is that humans are sneaky & tricky enough that if fakery is incentivized (it almost always is -- due to the thermodynamics of doing vs. faking), then this informs the viability of whatever Rules / protocols you try to establish. https://www.slatestarcodexabridged.com/Meditations-On-Moloch does a better job at extending the conversation than I ever could in an HN comment.

Let's not pretend India was some sort of well run paradise before the British showed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_famine_of_1630–1632.

The previous colonial/imperial regime of the Mughal Empire was just as much a burden on the population.

The main reason India is able to feed its population today is the green revolution post WW2, especially the work of Dr. Swaminathan in India. Without it I think we would still see massive famines in India.

> You mean like Musk does.

"while Musk is a proponent of free speech, he believes that moderation on Twitter should ‘hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates"

India has laws on content moderation, so does China, Turkey and other countries listed in the article. What Law in Brazil did X break? Or was it the whims and fancies of the Judge?

Quoting from X post below [1]:

“When we attempted to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened our Brazilian legal representative with imprisonment. Even after she resigned, he froze all of her bank accounts. Our challenges against his manifestly illegal actions were either dismissed or ignored. Judge de Moraes’ colleagues on the Supreme Court are either unwilling or unable to stand up to him.

We are absolutely not insisting that other countries have the same free speech laws as the United States. The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes demands we break Brazil’s own laws. We simply won’t do that.

In the days to come, we will publish all of Judge de Moraes’ illegal demands and all related court filings in the interest of transparency.

Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders.”

One thing to consider is that you have to have very functional central government to be able to execute types of wars of conquest that likes of them and USA did... So simply moderating them is often sufficient to keep stability.

I find this idea perplexing. Even if you were to put emotions and politics aside, colonization doesn’t have a very good track record for the colonized people.
Maybe but its doesn't work in democracies well. Main reason why EU won't ever compete with US economically, while being also very rich and actually more populous.

You should also compare it to situation where those countries wouldn't be centrally planned. Not so possible without time machine, so let's leave out measuring of efficiency of such systems. Ie when in Eastern Europe communism and central planning failed and fell down overnight, literally all those economies experienced massive boosts. I know I've lived through such transition there, hard to describe with words.

"The TMS34010, developed by Texas Instruments and released in 1986, was the first programmable graphics processor integrated circuit. While specialized graphics hardware existed earlier, such as blitters, the TMS34010 chip is a microprocessor which includes graphics-oriented instructions, making it a combination of a CPU and what would later be called a GPU."

Yep, I had a cheaper MIP garmin watch that I was very happy with until it spontaneously bricked itself one day. It was just barely in warranty, and they replaced it, but refused to give me an equivalent replacement and instead sent the newer OLED model in the same lineup. It's... fine, but the battery life is abysmal with the always-on display and just OK without.
Still waiting for a hardened feature phone with Signal (and SimpleX going forward) and IMEI spoofing. The PinePhone has IMEI spoofing but the software is not focused on just being a good phone.

> While I'd love to see many parts of Africa and the mideast embrace the enlightenment values that have created our modern governments built around such ideals as individual rights, rule of law, checks and balances, multiple political parties, free speech, independent court systems, a secular state, etc. I don't think those cultural values are in place.

Anyone who knows the history of the past decades and centuries of western interaction with the Middle East and Africa knows what a laugh this is.

The US is currently paying Egypt's current rulers billions a year to prevent and violently crack down on anyone who wants "modern governments built around such ideals as individual rights, rule of law, checks and balances, multiple political parties, free speech, independent court systems, a secular state". I watched former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd question whether it was wise for Obama to allow the Arab Spring to push out the violent dictator Mubarak. Speaking of capability for "enlightenment values" - the citizens risk their bodies and lives to go out in the street and fight for free elections and such, while the US arms the dictator fighting against those values.

And what would a free Egypt do? It certainly would not be as cooperative of these people "making aliyah" and then slaughtering Palestinians on Egypt's border in Gaza, that's for sure.

As you mention Africa, I think back to when I watched Reagan cooperating with the apartheid South African government, again fighting against those who wanted "modern governments built around such ideals as individual rights, rule of law, checks and balances, multiple political parties, free speech, independent court systems, a secular state, etc."

I could go on and on over the past decades - speaking of rule of law and all of that, I won't even go into what Israel is doing right now - they're showing Israeli soldiers raping Palestinians on Israeli TV now (and on Twitter too, for now at least) - nor will I go.into the US support of all of this.
