When Facebook first took off, I had an inkling radical transparency was going to be a societal outcome.

With everyone posting everything, and everyone's digital history recorded (if anyone cares to archive or dig it up), everyone would have skeletons in their closet.

I was hoping that would make society more tolerant and willing to accept faults in people.

In actuality, it just seems to have produced an industry of digital cleaners that the wealthy can afford, while everyone else gets fucked.

But then, that's why I limit my posting on social media outside of HN.
On the other side, I honestly dont understand how anyone who believes in the accidental theory of evolution would persist in their opinion after witnessing a live birth. The emotions that flood the mind are not “evolutionary”. seeing the struggle a mother puts in to give birth is incredible. And part of the reason why civilizations have had goddesses in their mythology.

The number of things that can go wrong are significant. And yet despite all that, a birth happens. That is a miracle in itself. It goes against probability.
Oh, I'm with you 100%. The labels for my list will all be like black with a big X through them. But I propose consumer behavior has a better shot of changing with labels.
Oh and Zig is another option for allowing injections that are checked when used at a call site rather than predefined through interfaces.

AFAIK it doesn’t have closures (it’s too C-like) so you need to use methods for all your (implicit) interfaces, but that’s okay…

I think the “exemplars” could be automatically yoinked from documentation and tests and existing usage of the function in the code base. Work needs to be done on the IDE front to make this accessible to the user.
> GenZ studies have found a lower participation in "risky behavior" which late night clubbing may or not be considered.

I think they just do different risk-taking behavior. Sports betting seems way more prevalent, and Gamblers Anonymous is reporting way more younger people attending meetings.
> you can remove higher order infinitesimals, like (dx)^2, when computing things like derivatives

I always found that iffy and a bit of a (completely legal) hack. It's a nice point that what enables this hack is promptly leaving the world of infinitesimals and retreating back to reals.
Using uBlock Origin makes wonders. Chrome could be faster, but isn't fast enough to render all the ads shit stuff that are on many webs.
I don't write a lot of while loops so this is just a bit unfamiliar to me, but I'm not really understanding how this isn't the same as `do{block}while(condition);`? Could you give a simple example of what kind of work `prepare` is doing?
There's one at least. But you have to click on the toggle visibility button at the bottom of screen, then switch on spacecrafts. Then it will show you at least one - the Tesla Roadster launched in 2018.

> “When asked for attributes that are important to them,” Edwards says, “truck owners oversample in ones like: the ability to outperform others, to look good while driving, to present a tough image, to have their car act as extension of their personality, and to stand out in a crowd.”

This same attitude is everywhere in the economy - not just cars. People are over-consuming like crazy. How many people with an RTX 4090 are using it exclusively on Fortnite? How many times have you seen someone use an ice-crusher on their fridge? Their backup generator? Their $3000 tablesaw, their home NAS, their boat?
If there’s any truth to the pop culture trope of trading cigarette cartons in prisons, it possibly never stopped being used as currency.
One potential reason might be because these ads were in women’s magazines? I’m sure they advertised in men’s magazines as well. It would be interesting to compare.
The key difference is: do you go there to hook up, or do you go there because you like the place, which as a second order effect is great common ground to meeting someone?

Are you me? lol. I'm in SoCal though, and we still do our own family-style desert parties and we sometimes go to bigger desert parties (Moontribe still going strong), and sometimes go to the mountains in the central valley too. Slinky (which was near Fresno) was so much fun until it ended recently after 21 years :( My friend group doesn't have anything in the mountains quite like Slinky to replace it, but it sounds like you keep your invite list small, and for good reasons I know.

My wife still dances all-out, and she goes every weekend to see Doc or Farina or DJ Dan or whoever is in town. She can't live without getting sweaty from dancing, and I admire her for it especially as we're getting older - I'm in my 50s now, my knees are not what they used to be.

Have you seen the recently released documentary about Wicked Soundsystem? I'm guessing you're probably familiar with those guys. We saw it in a theater in LA and then went to the after party, it brought back so many memories.

Well I think what was interpreted wrongly was that information could not propagate faster than light.

The argument is that before time-space the Universe is a hyper dimensional. Vibration and periodicity giving way to the kind of probabilistic divergence described by D.D. In The Fabric of Reality. The entire universe might well spring from this vibrational axis giving rise to all. Space time would emerge from the entropic dilation.

If entanglement was the synchronization of vibrational coordinates, that “vector” could have one resolved state. I would not rule out instantaneous communication by that principle alone.

TBF - this is You dictating what tradeoffs others are able/willing to make in their off time. I grew up playing competitive FPS; and still have a 'gaming rig' for downtime.

Functorial String Diagrams for Reverse-Mode Automatic Differentiation (2021)
Tell that to the 1000+ seating traditional Latin Mass churches around the world where families pack the pews along with hundreds of babies in the arms of parents and older siblings at Mass on Sundays and major feast days.

It is true that some in leadership presently, including Pope Francis, don't care for the movement and have been hampering it in various ways in recent years, but at this point its growth is unstoppable. Even if Francis dropped an even harder ban hammer (he won't for various reasons), it would just lead to immediate explosive growth of the SSPX because affected families and clergy-religious would never go back to the Novus Ordo Missae.

Anyway, we can have that discussion in another context if you wish. Mainly I wanted to point out that "Latin in the church" is alive and well and only more so in recent years.

> PP Francis is putting the whole misguided "Jesus sacrifice" liturgy and it's backwards thinking back to where it belongs: history books.

I'm not sure what information sources inform your thinking on this matter, but regardless it's an extremely distorted take on Catholic theology of the Eucharist. Again, that's getting far afield of the OP and my original comment, so can discuss elsewhere, but you can check the 1997 Catechism:

New ones, sure. But there's a thriving retail market of "recycled" optical media being repackaged and sold for cheap in discount stores last I checked. That should stick around for another few years after.
> Infinitesimals are liked, despite their formal rigor (in most settings), are liked in some settings, like informally solving differential equations, and other applied tasks.

There seems to be one too many "are liked" in that sentence. Deleting either one of them makes the sentence read a lot better. I think deleting the second one reads better than deleting the first one.
Came here to post something similar, so I'll upvote your comment, and add my own. I started building a Eurorack modular synthesizer in 2009. Prior to that I would mostly tweak presets on other synths. I knew what the filter did, and could adjust an envelope, but didn't have a fundamental understanding of what was going on.

When I started using the modular, I was forced to understand the signal flow. And, the patch cables provided a visual cue of what was happening. I learned more about synths in a year with my eurorack system than I did in the previous 10 with hardwired synths.

After you learn those basic rules for patching a synth, then you get to break them. (-:

Recommending something like VCV rack seems like starting with Calculus before you can solve 2+2, but it's really not. The signal flow is right there for you to observe.
with human supervisors is the plan. Instead of X workers, they now have X agents + Y<<X supervisors to unblock (and collect additional data for) agents
Your edit is spot on — there's a lot out there in the Kuiper Belt / Oort Cloud that we don't know about. It's hypothesized that there are many objects out there, with more mass than in the Asteroid Belt. It's no coincidence that the ones we know are all near their perihelion currently.
Interesting. My first reaction to JSX was that it was just the right thing: HTML where it needed to be HTML, and a full-fledged pre-existing programming language for the rest.

I liked it better than any templating solution. I have a strong preference for existing languages over new ones. They have debuggers, libraries, StackOverflow answers, developer bases, etc.

It takes a while to fully understand the React way of doing things. But JSX itself is almost immediate: plain HTML, plus plain Javascript in braces. About the only thing you really need to learn is that you can return that "HTML" from inside the Javascript.

The result of this exercise depends largely on how accurate your IPA transcription is, because that is very much a scale. More often than not, what you see is a phonemic transcription rather than a phonetic one, which then does indeed require knowing how the actual phonemes are pronounced in a particular language. But with phonemic translation using the entire assortment of IPA diacritics, if your linguist is familiar with other languages that happen to have the same sounds, they could do a fairly decent take.

> If that data is certified as end to end encrypted

This needs better and more detailed clarification. I've reverse engineered a camera-equipped pet feeder, and videos sent to a cloud (or my emulating server in my case) were partially encrypted - I-frames were, P-frames were NOT. Someone ticked a checkbox "videos are encrypted", and still left the thing glaring open.

Then, of course, it's also a matter of ciphers and modes, authentication, key generation, transmission and storage, etc etc.

Feels like encrypted storage and transmission features alone require a full whole label, like the FCC's broadband facts label, or FDA's nutritional facts label, which outlines what data exists in the system, where the data is stored, how it's encrypted, how it's authenticated, and so on.

Which is probably not happening until cryptography 101 becomes a part of general school curriculum and layman people start to understand the basics. Without people asking real questions and refusing to purchase products from sloppy engineering companies (aka voting with their wallets*), companies will always wave it away with tried-and-proven "military-grade security" bullshit.

The author completely misunderstands what Fuck You Money is. It represents the amount of money you need to leave the rat race and do whatever you want -- the ability to say Fuck You to your boss, your investors, whoever it is that is controlling your life using your need for money.

Bezos, Zuck etc. don't have that amount, in spite of their hundreds of billions, or else they wouldn't be doing what they are doing. "Yes, but they have to do this to maintain their businesses that are subject to Trump's whims." No they don't. They could put someone else in charge, take a few dozen billion, and still live fabulous lives, independent of Trump. Let someone else do the ass-kissing. But they choose not to do that.
I didn't see any such pattern in the data. It was flagged by quite a few users, none of whom showed any obvious pattern like affiliation with a company or a political slant. (Edit: I mean none of the ones I looked at. There were too many to look at them all.)

We can only guess why users flag things. In this case, I don't have a good guess, other than that the article title is baity, so I replaced it with more neutral language from the subtitle, and (partly) rolled back the flags.

The flaggers may be correct, in any case, because this thread is noticeably terrible.
kinda obvious: you drink coffee late, have trouble sleeping, and all kind of consequences as result..
> if people also said the same about the telephone [...] and television

I'd say they were probably right. Pre-solo-consumptive technology, people on average were better socialized.

It's inherent in the nature of improved consumptive and interactive experiences to smooth off the pain points.

Unfortunately many of those same pain points are also intrinsic to realworld, realtime interaction. And doing them more proficiently is a skill that one can learn and improve (or not).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect

> In economics, the Baumol effect, also known as Baumol's cost disease, first described by William J. Baumol and William G. Bowen in the 1960s, is the tendency for wages in jobs that have experienced little or no increase in labor productivity to rise in response to rising wages in other jobs that did experience high productivity growth.

While obviously I don't have the amount of data that you have over a long period of time, I set up smokeping on my own home file server after seeing your graph and what I have so far should emphasize the point. My worst-case 20 ping average over this time is measured in microseconds with absolutely zero loss, testing to my gateway.

A couple of milliseconds of extra latency doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent, but packet loss always matters.

Check back with me in a couple of months if you think it'll matter, but I'd be willing to bet lunch that the data won't be substantially different.
Non-repudiation is virtually always undesirable in general-purpose messaging systems. Revealing to a stranger whether a message is valid is a concession to that stranger, not a benefit to the email's owner. This property is called "deniability" and most secure messaging systems go way out of their way to have it.
Nice find. That's the only one up there currently, mostly because it's in a simple heliocentric orbit (most spacecraft are not). I want to add more but need to figure out how to properly find their current position+velocity to start the physical simulation.

It's pretty bad... This person's obviously talented, but their playing is riddled with mistakes and timing issues. That's not an issue with their playing, it's the constraints of the medium. For example, `[etuG]` is a chord from the video that's impossible to play as it requires a modifier key for 1 of the 4 notes. Plus, the use of modifier keys and the number row for low notes means that the experience no longer maps nicely to a piano. It's effectively learning a bespoke instrument.

This isn't necessarily a problem. As you say, constraints can breed creativity. A good musician should still be able to play great music, but for somebody just learning it's a lot of unnecessary friction.
I don’t care how much I’m “worth” that 60 person startup I worked for pre-AWS wasn’t going to pay me $225K and I went in as a mid level consultant. That was fair, I only had 2 years of AWS experience at the time.

The 600 person company I work for now isn’t going to match what I could make at Google. On the other hand, Google would require me to be in an office and I would not have unlimited PTO.

Everyone is expendable. No matter where you work.

I don’t think you know the salary ranges at BigTech and how they compare to the rest of the market. Those thousands of companies aren’t going to pay FAANG salaries.

That grad I mentioned coming out of college is making $160K their first year and that was working in Professional Services not development. An SDE was starting out at $175K - $190K

> The argument for sticking with Latin is that it's a relatively unchanging language

This is as much of an argument against Latin, given that there's no way to say "transistor" or "x-ray" without falling back on pidgin. Translation is part of the scientific process, insofar as science itself isn't static and can't be expressed throughout the ages with a single vocabulary.

(Besides, why stop there? How can we expect today's scientists to truly grasp Plotinus's the One without mastering Koine Greek?)

It's also only true so long as we don't discover more efficient ways of factoring large numbers. We haven't come up with any dramatic improvements lately, but it's always possible that something will come up.

You have already described prerequisites. It is unwise to use biometrics if you are a person of interest in a "not so democratic country". And to get a riffle to your face they should demolish a door which is commonly steel in a "not so democratic country". This is loud and gives plenty of time.

Nothing happens out of the blue. People don't get searched randomly except some rare places where an iPhone is the source of danger itself being a valuable possession.

If someone feels that such events could happen it is mandatory to do OPSEC. If not, bad for this someone. Anyway, a proper torture will reveal the password in a "not so democratic country". Which also happens in the real life.
Thanks for looking into it.

Meanwhile The Economist says [1]:

"In a way, those over the age of 55 but under the age of 75—roughly speaking, the baby-boomers and some of what is referred to as “Generation X”—are the new problem generation. <...> Whereas young people in rich countries these days are addicted to their phones, more anxious than previous generations and far less likely than them to use mind-altering substances or to party recklessly, their grandparents belong to a generation that experimented with sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. As they reach older age, they are not giving up their old habits."

NIST isn't a bunch of dummies that don't know this. The requirements posed are not micromanagement of device design; some address your concern exactly... like a requirement that developers provide contact information to report vulnerabilities and that devices makers just can't ignore authentication entirely.

But this is IoT stuff we're talking about here, not Lenovo/Cisco... but ReoLink/PETLIBRO/eufy/roborock/FOSCAM/Ring/iRobot/etc. Security (or the lack of it) in the IoT world is a whole different ball game. It isn't uncommon for IoT devices to be EOL on release date, or just lack authentication or encryption entirely.
